                                WARRANT AGREEMENT

                  THE WARRANT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is dated as of April
27, 2001 and entered into by and between Frisby Technologies Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and the investor party hereto named on the
signature page hereof ("Buyer").

                                    Recitals:

                  A. As of the date hereof, Buyer has purchased ___________
units ("Units"), with each Unit consisting of one share of the Company's common
stock, par value $.001 per share ("Company Common Stock"), and a warrant to
purchase one share of Company Common Stock.

                  B. Accordingly, the Company desires to grant to Buyer the
right to purchase ___________ shares of Company Common Stock on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Warrant Certificate (as
defined in Section 1). The right to purchase Company Common Stock granted
pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrant Certificate is referred to herein as
the "Warrant" and the shares of Company Common Stock and other securities
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant are referred to herein as the "Warrant
Shares."

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

                  SECTION 1. Warrant Certificate. The Company will issue and
deliver a certificate evidencing the Warrant upon execution and delivery of this
Agreement, which certificate will be substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the "Warrant Certificate"). The Warrant Certificate will be dated
the date of issuance by the Company.

                  SECTION 2. Execution of Warrant Certificate. Warrant
Certificates will be signed on behalf of the Company by an authorized officer.

                  SECTION 3. Registration in Warrant Register. The Company will
number and register Warrant Certificates in its register (the "Warrant
Register") when issued. The Company may deem and treat the registered holder
from time to time of the Warrant Certificates (the "Holder") as the owner
thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made
by anyone) for all purposes and will not be affected by any notice to the
contrary. The Warrant Certificate initially issuable hereunder will be
registered initially in the name of Buyer.

                  SECTION 4. Transfer. Except as expressly permitted by this
Agreement, neither this Agreement, the Warrant, the Warrant Certificate nor the
Warrant Shares may be transferred, assigned, sold or otherwise disposed of
without the prior written consent of the Company, except in conjunction with an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), and all applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from
registration under the Act and all applicable state securities laws. In the
absence of an effective registration under the Act, it shall be a condition to
any such transfer, assignment, sale or other disposition that the transferor
first deliver to the Company a legal opinion from counsel, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory

<PAGE>   2

to the Company, providing that such transfer, assignment, sale or other
disposition may be made pursuant to a valid exemption under the Act and all
applicable state securities laws and is otherwise in compliance with the Act and
all applicable state securities laws. Until such time as the same have been
registered under the Act, each Warrant Certificate and each issued and
outstanding Warrant Share will bear a legend substantially to the effect set
forth on the first page of the Warrant Certificate.

                  SECTION 5. Exercise of Warrant.

                  (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder will
have the right, which may be exercised commencing on the date on which the form
of election to purchase annexed to the Warrant Certificate (the "Exercise
Notice") is delivered pursuant to Section 5(c), to receive from the Company the
number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares that the Holder may at the
time be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrant and payment of the
Exercise Price (as defined in Section 5(b)) then in effect for such Warrant
Shares. The right to exercise the Warrant will, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, expire at 5:00 p.m., Winston-Salem time, on the fifth
anniversary of the date hereof (the "Expiration Date"). The unexercised portion
of the Warrant as of the Expiration Date will become void and all rights
hereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement will cease as
of such time.

                  (b) The price at which the Warrant may be exercised (the
"Exercise Price") will be $6.00 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment
pursuant to the terms hereof.

                  (c) The Warrant may be exercised upon surrender to the Company
at its office designated for such purpose (as provided for in Section 11) of the
Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates to be exercised with the Exercise
Notice duly filled in and signed and payment to the Company of the Exercise
Price for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which the Warrant is then
exercised. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be made to the Company
in cash by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified
by the Company to the Holder.

                  (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 6, as promptly as
reasonably practicable (but in any event within 14 days) after the exercise of
the Warrant in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 5(c), the Company
will issue and cause to be delivered to the Holder (or, subject to Section 4,
upon the written order of the Holder, to such person or persons as the Holder
may designate with the prior written consent of the Company which will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), a certificate or certificates for the number
of full Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. The certificate or certificates for such
Warrant Shares will be deemed to have been issued and the Person (as defined in
Section 16) so named therein will be deemed to have become a holder of record of
such Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of the Warrant and payment
of the Exercise Price, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate
or certificates for Warrant Shares.

                  (e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Warrant will
be exercisable, at the election of the Holder, either in full or from time to
time in part and, in the event that a Warrant Certificate is exercised in part
at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a new Warrant Certificate covering the
Warrant Shares for which the Warrant remains exercisable will be issued,
executed and delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5(e) and
Section 2.

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

                  (f) All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of the
Warrant will be cancelled and disposed of by the Company. The Company will keep
copies of this Agreement and any notices given or received hereunder available
for inspection by the Holder during normal business hours at its principal
offices.

                  SECTION 6. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all
documentary stamp taxes and other similar governmental charges (excluding all
foreign, federal, state and local income, capital gain, franchise, property,
estate, inheritance, gift or similar taxes) in connection with the issuance or
delivery of the Warrant and in connection with the initial issuance or delivery
of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. The Company will not, however, be required to pay any tax
that may be payable in respect of any subsequent transfer of the Warrant or the
Warrant Shares or any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of Warrant
Shares in a name other than that in which the Warrant to which such issuance
relates were registered, and, if any such tax would otherwise be payable by the
Company, no such issuance or delivery will be made unless and until the Person
requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or
it is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that any such
tax has been paid.

                  SECTION 7. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. If a
mutilated Warrant Certificate is surrendered to the Company, or if the Holder of
a Warrant Certificate claims and submits an affidavit or other evidence
satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the Warrant Certificate has been
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company will issue a replacement
Warrant Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by the Company,
such Holder shall provide an indemnity bond, or other form of indemnity (which
may, if accepted by the Company, include an unsecured written agreement to
indemnify the Company), sufficient in the judgment of the Company to protect the
Company from any loss that it may suffer if a Warrant Certificate is replaced.

                  SECTION 8. Reservation of Warrant Shares.

                  (a) The Company will at all times reserve and keep available
out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Company Common Stock or its
authorized and issued Company Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose
of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise
of the Warrant, the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock which may
then be deliverable upon the exercise in full of the Warrant.

                  (b) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares and other
capital stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant will, upon payment of the
Exercise Price therefor and issue thereof, be validly authorized and issued,
fully paid, nonassessable and free, subject to Section 6, from all taxes, liens,
charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof, except that
such Warrant Shares will be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 9. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Warrant Number.

                  (a) Initial Number of Warrant Shares. The number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be ___________ subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in, or
as otherwise provided in, this Section 9.

                  (b) Adjustment for Changes in Capital Stock. If the Company:

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

                           (i) makes a distribution on its Company Common Stock
in shares of its Company Common Stock or in shares of its capital stock other
than Company Common Stock;

                           (ii) subdivides or reclassifies its outstanding
shares of Company Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

                           (iii) combines or reclassifies its outstanding shares
of Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or

                           (iv) issues by reclassification of its Company Common
Stock any shares of its capital stock (other than reclassifications arising
solely as a result of a change in the par value of the Company Common Stock);

then the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant
immediately prior to such action will be proportionately adjusted so that the
Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised may receive the aggregate number and
kind of shares of capital stock of the Company which such Holder would have
owned immediately following such action if such Warrant had been exercised
immediately prior to such action.

                  (c) Effective Date of Adjustment for Changes in Capital Stock.
The adjustment will become effective immediately after the record date with
respect to any of the actions described in Section 9(b).

                  (d) Successive Adjustments for Changes in Capital Stock; No
Conflict With Adjustments for Other Distributions. Adjustments for changes in
capital stock described in Section 9(b) will be made successively whenever any
such event occurs. If the occurrence of any event listed above results in an
adjustment under Section 9(f), no further adjustment will be made under Section
9(b).

                  (e) Reserved.

                  (f) Adjustment for Other Distributions. If the Company
distributes to all holders of Company Common Stock (i) any evidences of
indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any assets of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries (including distributions of cash on Company
Common Stock), or (iii) any rights, options or warrants to acquire any of the
foregoing or to acquire any other securities of the Company, the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant will be adjusted in
accordance with the formula:

                              W'  =   W x   M
                                          -----
                                          M - F
                  where:
                  W'       =        the adjusted number of Warrant Shares.
                  W        =        the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
                                    the exercise of the Warrant immediately
                                    prior to the record date for such event.
                  M        =        the fair market value (as determined in
                                    the good faith judgment of the Board of
                                    Directors of the Company) of all issued and
                                    outstanding shares of the Company capital
                                    stock (immediately prior to such
                                    distribution).

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

                  F        =        the fair market value (as determined in
                                    the good faith judgment of the Board of
                                    Directors of the Company) on the record date
                                    for such event of all of the shares, the
                                    indebtedness, assets, rights, options or
                                    warrants so distributable.

                  (g) Successive Adjustments for Other Distributions;
Re-adjustment of Fair Market Value under Certain Circumstances. The adjustment
described in Section 9(f) will be made successively whenever any such
distribution is made and will become effective immediately after the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution. If
an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 9(f) as a result of the issuance of
rights, options or warrants and at the end of the period during which any such
rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all such rights, options or
warrants shall have been exercised, the adjusted number of Warrant Shares will
be immediately readjusted as if "F" in the above formula was the fair market
value on the record date of the indebtedness or assets actually distributed upon
exercise of such rights, options or warrants.

                  Section 9(f) does not apply to any transaction described in
Section 9(b).

                  (h) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Upon each adjustment to the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant pursuant to
this Section 9, the Exercise Price will be adjusted so that it is equal to the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the
denominator of which is the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise
of the Warrant immediately after such adjustment; provided, that in no event
shall the Exercise Price be less than the then current par value of the Common
Stock.

                  (i) When No Adjustment Required. If an adjustment is made upon
the establishment of a record date for a distribution subject to Sections 9(b)
or 9(f) and such distribution is subsequently cancelled, the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant and Exercise Price then in
effect will be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors
determines to cancel such distribution, to that which would have been in effect
if such record date had not been fixed.

                  (j) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant
Shares or the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Company will provide the notices
required by Section 10.

                  (k) Other Dilutive Events. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 9, no adjustment to the Exercise Price and
the number of Warrant Shares will be made in connection with the issuance of
additional securities by the Company for incremental equity capital.

                  SECTION 10. Notices to Warrant Holders.

                  (a) Promptly (but in no event more than ten days) after any
adjustment pursuant to Section 9, the Company will (i) cause to be filed with
the Company a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the Exercise
Price after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are based, and (ii) cause
to be given to the Holder at its address appearing on the Warrant Register
written notice of such adjustments. Where

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

appropriate, such notice may be given in advance and included as a part of the
notice required to be mailed under the other provisions of this Section 10.

                  (b) In the event (i) the Company authorizes the distribution
to all holders of shares of Company Common Stock of assets, including cash,
evidences of its indebtedness, or other securities; (ii) of any consolidation or
merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any
stockholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance or transfer of all
or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, or of any
reclassification or other change of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination); or (iii) the Company proposes to take any other action that would
require an adjustment to the Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price pursuant to
Section 9, then, in any such case, the Company will cause to be given to each
Holder at its address appearing on the Warrant Register, at least ten days prior
to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, or the date of the event in
the case of events for which there is no record date, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 11, a written notice with respect to any such action or
event. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 10 or any defect
therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action or event.

                  (c) Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant
Certificate will be construed as conferring upon the Holder (prior to the
exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) the
right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholder in respect of
the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any
other matter, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company; provided,
however, that nothing in the foregoing provision is intended to detract from any
rights explicitly granted to any Holder hereunder.

                  SECTION 11. Notices to the Company and Warrant Holders. All
notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder will be
made by hand delivery, first-class mail, telex or telecopier (with telephone
confirmation of delivery thereof), or overnight air courier guaranteeing next
day delivery as provided in Schedule 1 hereto.

                  All such notices and communications will be deemed to have
been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five
business days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed;
when answered back if telexed; when receipt acknowledged, if telecopied; and the
next business day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air
courier guaranteeing next day delivery. The parties may change the addresses to
which notices are to be given by giving five days' prior written notice of such
change in accordance herewith.

                  SECTION 12. Certain Supplements and Amendments. The Company
may from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of
the Holder in order to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any
provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provision herein, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or
questions arising hereunder which the Company may deem necessary or desirable;
provided that any such supplement or amendment will not adversely affect the
interests of the Holder.

                  SECTION 13. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of
this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company will bind and inure to the
benefit of its respective successors and assigns hereunder.

                  SECTION 14. Termination. This Agreement will terminate upon
the earlier to occur of the Expiration Date and the date on which the Warrant
shall have been exercised in full pursuant to this Agreement.

                  SECTION 15. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, without
regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

                  SECTION 16. Benefits of this Agreement. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will be
construed to give to any individual, corporation (including any non-profit
corporation), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, estate, trust or association (each a "Person") other than the Company
and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Agreement; but this Agreement will be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company and the Holder.

                  SECTION 17. Certain Interpretive Matters. Unless the context
otherwise requires: (a) words in the singular include plural and in the plural
include the singular; (b) "or" is disjunctive but not exclusive; (c) "including"
means "including, without limitation"; (d) masculine pronouns include the

Exhibits or Schedules are references to Sections of or Exhibits or Schedules to
this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.

                  SECTION 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
two counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an
original and all such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused the Warrant
Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

                  The Warrant Certificate certifies that ___________________, or
his or its registered assigns, is the registered holder of a warrant (the
"Warrant") to purchase the number of shares of common stock, par value $.001 per
share (the "Company Common Stock"), of Frisby Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), set forth above ("Warrant Shares") at the initial
exercise price (the "Exercise Price") equal to $6.00 per Warrant Share, payable
in lawful money of the United States of America, upon surrender of the Warrant
Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price at the office of the Company
designated for such purpose, but only subject to the conditions set forth herein
and in the Warrant Agreement referred to hereinafter. The Exercise Price and

<PAGE>   11

                  The Warrant evidenced by this Warrant Certificate is issued
pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of April 27, 2001 (the "Warrant
Agreement") duly executed and delivered by the Company, which Warrant Agreement
is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is
hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company and the holders
(the words "holders" or "holder" meaning the registered holders or registered
holder) of the Warrant. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the
holder hereof upon written request to the Company. Capitalized terms used and
not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Warrant
Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of
the Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agreement will
govern.

                  The holder of the Warrant evidenced by the Warrant Certificate
may exercise such Warrant under and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Warrant Agreement by surrendering the Warrant Certificate, with the form of
election to purchase set forth hereon (and by this reference made a part hereof)
properly completed and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price in
cash by wire transfer in immediately available funds. In the event that the
number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is exercised is less than the
maximum number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is exercisable, the
Company will issue to the holder hereof (or, if permitted, its registered
assignee) a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant Shares.

                  The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of
certain events the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant and the Exercise Price may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted.

                  Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the office of the
Company by the registered holder thereof in person or by legal representative or
attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject
to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any
service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like
tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrant Shares.

                  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement,
upon due presentation for registration of transfer of the Warrant Certificate at
the office of the Company a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of
like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrant Shares will
be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for the Warrant Certificate, subject
to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for
any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

                  The Company may deem and treat the registered holder(s)
thereof as the absolute owner(s) of the Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any
notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose
of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all
other purposes, and the Company will not be affected by any notice to the
contrary. Neither the Warrant nor the Warrant Certificate entitles any holder
hereof to any rights of a stockholder of the Company.

                     [Frisby Technologies, Inc. Letterhead]

                                     Name of Subscriber        DUNCAN RUSSELL

                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Frisby Technologies, Inc.
3195 Centre Park Boulevard
Winston-Salem, NC  27107

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         1. SUBSCRIPTION. I (sometimes referred to herein as the "Investor")
hereby subscribe for and agree to purchase 37,500 Unit(s) (as defined below)
offered by Frisby Technologies, Inc. ("Frisby"), a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), on the terms and conditions described herein and in the Private
Placement Memorandum ("Memorandum"), dated November, 2000, together with all
supplements, if any, relating to this offering. The purchase price per Unit is
$4.00. The aggregate amount subscribed for hereby is $150,000. The minimum
subscription amount, subject to reduction in the discretion of the Company, is
$100,000.

         2. DESCRIPTION OF UNITS. Each Unit consists of one (1) share of the
Company's common stock ("Common Stock") and one (1) warrant to purchase one (1)
share of Common Stock at $6.00 per share for a period of five years. A maximum
of 850,000 Units is being offered.

         3. PURCHASE.

                  (a) I hereby tender to the Company a check or wire transfer
made payable to the order of "Frisby - Special Account" in the amount indicated
above, one executed copy of this Subscription Agreement and an executed copy of
my Investor Questionnaire.

                  (b) For this offering, the Company will conduct closing(s) in
the amount of at least $500,000 in subscriptions until March 30, 2001 (the
"Termination Date"), unless extended by the Company for a period of not more
than thirty (30) days. Until a closing occurs, or until the Termination Date, my
funds herewith will be held in a segregated bank account subject to the terms
and conditions herein. Upon the closing for my subscription, I will be notified
promptly by the Company as to whether my subscription has been accepted by the
Company.

                                       1
<PAGE>   2

         4. ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF SUBSCRIPTION.

                  (a) I understand and agree that the Company reserves the right
to reject this subscription for the Units, in whole or in part, for any reason
and at any time prior to a closing.

                  (b) In the event of the rejection of this subscription, my
subscription payment will be promptly returned to me without interest or
deduction and this Subscription Agreement shall have no force or effect. In the
event my subscription is accepted and the offering is completed, the funds
specified above shall be released to the Company.

         5. OWNERSHIP OF UNITS. The Units subscribed for herein shall not be
deemed issued to or owned by me until one copy of this Subscription Agreement
has been executed by me and countersigned by the Company and the closing with
respect to such Units has occurred.

         6. DISCLOSURE. Because this offering is limited to accredited investors
as defined in Section 2(15) of the Securities Act, and Rule 501 promulgated
thereunder, in reliance upon the exemption contained in Sections 3(b) or 4(2) of
the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Units are being
sold without registration under the Securities Act. I acknowledge receipt of the
Memorandum and all exhibits listed therein and represent that I have carefully
reviewed and understand the Memorandum and its exhibits. I have received all
information and materials regarding the Company that I have requested.

I fully understand that the Company has limited sales and substantial losses and
that the Units are speculative investments which involve a high degree of risk
of loss of my entire investment. I fully understand the nature of the risks
involved in purchasing the Units and I am qualified by my knowledge and
experience to evaluate investments of this type. I have carefully considered the
potential risks relating to the Company and purchase of its Units and have, in
particular, reviewed each of the risks set forth in the Memorandum. I have had
the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of
the Company or persons acting on its behalf concerning the Company and the terms
and conditions of a proposed investment in the Company and I have also had the
opportunity to obtain additional information necessary to verity the accuracy of
information furnished about the Company. Accordingly, I have independently
evaluated the risks of purchasing the Units.

         7. INVESTOR REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. I acknowledge, represent
and warrant to, and agree with, the Company as follows:

                  (a) I am aware that my investment involves a high degree of
risk as disclosed in the Memorandum and have read carefully the Memorandum,
including the section thereof entitled "Risk Factors". I am aware that the
Company has limited sales and substantial losses.

                  (b) I acknowledge and am aware that there is no assurance as
to the future performance of the Company.

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

                  (c) I acknowledge that the Company has made no representations
as to any tax consequences to me in connection with my purchase of Units, and
the Company has advised me to seek the advise of experts in such areas prior to
making this investment.

                  (d) I am purchasing the Units for my own account for
investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with the
distribution of the Units or the shares of Common Stock comprising the Units,
nor with any present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any
part of the foregoing securities. I agree that I must bear the entire economic
risk of my investment for an indefinite period of time because, among other
reasons, the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or under
the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged,
assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under
the Securities Act and under applicable securities laws of certain states or an
exemption from such registration is available. I understand that the Company is
under no obligation to register the Units on my behalf or to assist me in
complying with any exemption from such registration under the Securities Act or
any state securities laws. Furthermore, I hereby acknowledge and agree that I
will not sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, give or otherwise dispose of, either
publicly or privately, the Units. I hereby authorize the Company to place a
legend denoting the restrictions on the Common Stock certificates that may be
issued.

                  (e) Except as described in my Investor Questionnaire, I am not
a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"); I am
not and have not, for a period of 12 months prior to the date of this
Subscription Agreement, been affiliated or associated with any company, firm, or
other entity which is a member of the NASD; and I do not own any stock or other
interest in any member of the NASD (other than interests acquired in open market
purchases).

                  (f) I believe that the investment in the Units is suitable for
me based upon my investment objectives and financial needs, and I have adequate
means for providing for my current financial needs and contingencies and have no
need for liquidity with respect to my investment in the Company. My investment
in the Units represents less than 10% of my net worth.

                  (g) I have not utilized any person as my purchaser
representative as defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant
to the Securities Act in connection with evaluating such merits and risks.

                  (h) I have relied solely upon my own investigation in making a
decision to invest in the Company.

I have received no representation or warranty from the Company or any of its
respective officers, directors, employees or agents in respect of my investment
in the Company and I have received no information (written or otherwise) from
them relating to the Company or its business other than as set forth in the
Memorandum or in any public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"). I am not participating in the offer as a result of or subsequent
to: (i)

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or
(ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general
solicitation or general advertising.

                  (j) I have had full opportunity to ask questions and to
receive satisfactory answers concerning the offering and other matters
pertaining to my investment and all such questions have been answered to my full
satisfaction.

                  (k) I have been provided an opportunity to obtain any
additional information concerning the offering and the Company and all other
information to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire
it without unreasonable effort or expense.

                  (l) I am an "accredited investor" as defined in Section 2(15)
of the Securities Act and in Rule 501 promulgated thereunder. I can bear the
entire economic risk of the investment in the Units for an indefinite period of
time and I am knowledgeable about and experienced in investments in the equity
securities of non-publicly traded companies, including early stage companies. I
am acquiring the Units for my own account for investment purposes only and not
with a view to the resale or distribution of such securities within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. I am not acting as an underwriter or
a conduit for sale to the public or to others of unregistered securities,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Company or any person with respect to
such securities.

                  (m) I understand that (i) the Units and the underlying
securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities
laws of certain states in reliance on specific exemptions from registration,
(ii) no securities administrator of any state or the federal government has
recommended or endorsed this offering or made any finding or determination
relating to the fairness of an investment in the Company and (iii) the Company
is relying on my representations and agreements for the purpose of determining
whether this transaction meets the requirements of the exemptions afforded by
the Securities Act and certain state securities laws.

                  (n) I understand that (i) since neither the offer nor sale of
the Units has been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of
any state, the Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of
unless they are so registered or an exemption from such registration is
available, and (ii) it is not anticipated that there will be any market for the
resale of the Units.

I have been urged to seek independent advice from my professional advisors
relating to the suitability of an investment in the Company in view of my
overall financial needs and with respect to the legal and tax implications of
such investment. If the Investor is a corporation, company, trust, employee
benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other tax-exempt
entity, it is authorized and qualified to become an Investor in the Company and
the person signing this Subscription Agreement on behalf of such entity has been
duly authorized by such entity to do so.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

                  (o) The information contained in my Investor Questionnaire, as
well as any information which I have furnished to the Company with respect to my
financial position and business experience, is correct and complete as of the
date of this Subscription Agreement and, if there should be any material change
in such information prior to the Closing, I will furnish such revised or
corrected information to the Company.

                  (p) I hereby acknowledge and am aware that except for any
rescission rights that may be provided under applicable laws, I am not entitled
to cancel, terminate or revoke this subscription, and any agreements made in
connection herewith shall survive my death or disability.

         8. INDEMNIFICATION. I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees,
agents, and attorneys against any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities,
and expenses (including reasonable legal or other expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees) 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, to which any such indemnified party may become subject
under the Securities Act, under any other statute, at common law or otherwise,
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 me and contained in this Subscription Agreement or my
Investor Questionnaire, or (b) arise out of or are based upon any breach by me
of any representation, warranty, or agreement made by me contained herein.

         9. WAIVER. The Investor has made full and complete inquiry with respect
to any matters of interest in connection with this investment and is fully
satisfied in all respects with his investment decision, fully understanding and
comprehending the significant risks associated, acknowledges that he has not
relied on any specific information concerning the Company, and understands that
the Company has not made any representations regarding the Company or the future
performance of the Company.

         10. SEVERABILITY. In the event any parts of this Subscription Agreement
are found to be void, the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement
shall nevertheless be binding with the same effect as though the void parts were
deleted.

         11. CHOICE OF LAW AND JURISDICTION. This Subscription Agreement will be
deemed to have been made and delivered in New York State and will be governed as
to validity, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects by

more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The execution of this
Subscription Agreement may be by actual or facsimile signature.
