THE SUBSCRIPTION
A. By this Agreement, the Subscriber, in consideration of the Subscription Price, subscribes for the Units, at a price of U.S. twelve cents (U.S. $0.12) per Unit. Each Unit consists of one (1) share of restricted common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (individually, a “Share” and if more than one, the “Shares”); and a warrant to purchase one share of restricted common stock of the Company (individually, a “Warrant” and if more than one, the “Warrants”), at a purchase price of U.S. seventeen cents (U.S. $0.15) per share. Each Warrant is exercisable for a term of sixty (60) months following closing on Subscriber’s subscription to the Units. The Warrants are callable by the Company if the closing price for the Company’s common stock on any exchange closes above U.S. twenty-five cents (U.S. $0.25) per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days. If a Subscriber’s Warrant is not exercised during the sixty (60) month term, it will terminate. Further, for a period of one (1) year from the initial closing date, IceWEB agrees not to issue additional Shares or other securities at a price which is less than U.S. twelve cents ($0.12) per share without the majority consent of common shareholders.
B. This Agreement shall constitute an offer by the Subscriber on the terms and conditions specified herein and in the Memorandum to purchase the Units.
C. The Subscriber understands that the execution and delivery of this Agreement will not constitute an agreement between the Subscriber and the Company, until this Agreement is accepted by the Company, which has the right, in its sole discretion, to accept or reject, in whole or in part, the Subscription Price tendered herewith or to allot the Subscriber a lesser number than the Units that he, she, or it is applying for hereunder. The Subscriber may not cancel, terminate, or revoke this Agreement and this Agreement shall survive the death or disability of the Subscriber. This Agreement may not be transferred or assigned by the Subscriber. If this subscription is accepted, a copy of this Agreement, signed by an officer of the Company, on behalf of the Company, will be delivered to the Subscriber.
D. The Subscription Price delivered herewith is delivered for release by the Escrow Agent only for the purposes and on the terms set forth in the Memorandum, and pending disbursement by the Escrow Agent, the funds will be held in a special escrow account for the benefit of Unit purchasers as provided in the Memorandum.
E. The Subscriber is executing and delivering this Agreement and, if accepted by the Company, the Company is executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon:
