EXHIBIT 10.3
MEDICAL SCIENCE SYSTEMS, INC.
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT made as of this ____ day of ________, 1999
between Medical Science Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation with its principal
offices at 000 X.X. Xxxx 000, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 (the
"Company") and the undersigned (the "Subscriber").
WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue, in a private placement (the
"Offering"), a minimum of $2,500,000 (the "Minimum Offering") and a maximum of
$5,000,000 (the "Maximum Offering") in aggregate purchase price of Series A
Preferred Stock, no par value (the "Shares"), with each Share being convertible
into five (5) shares of the Company's common stock, no par value (the "Common
Stock"), on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and the Subscriber
desires to acquire that number of Shares 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 SHARES 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
such number of Shares as is set forth upon the signature page hereof at a price
of $2.50 per Share. The Company agrees to sell such Shares to the Subscriber for
said purchase price. The purchase price is payable by certified or bank check
made payable to United States Trust Company of New York, Special Account Re:
Medical Science Systems, Inc., or by wire transfer of funds, contemporaneously
with the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement. The certificates
for the Shares will be delivered by the Company within ten (10) days following
each Closing of this offering as set forth in Article III hereof. The Subscriber
understands however, that this purchase of Shares is contingent upon the Company
making sales of at least $2,500,000 in aggregate purchase price of the Shares
prior to the Termination Date as defined in Article III hereof.
1.2 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Shares
involves a high degree of risk in that (i) the Company will need additional
capital but has no assurance of additional necessary capital; (ii) conversion of
the Shares into Common Stock is not assured and is subject to approval by the
Company's common shareholders; (iii) 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 Shares; (iv) an
investor may not be able to liquidate his investment; (v) transferability of the
securities comprising the Shares is extremely limited; and (vi) an investor
could sustain the loss of his entire investment, as well as other risk factors,
as more fully set forth herein and in the Private Placement Memorandum dated
April 14, 1999 and any supplements thereto (the "Offering Memorandum").
1.3 The Subscriber represents that he is an "accredited
investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), as indicated by his
responses to the Investor Questionnaire, and that he is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Shares.
1.4 The Subscriber acknowledges that he has prior investment
experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities, or
he has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney or accountant to
read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company both to him
and to all other prospective investors in the Shares and to evaluate the merits
and risks of such an investment on his behalf, and that he recognizes the highly
speculative nature of this investment.
1.5 The Subscriber acknowledges receipt and careful review of
the Offering Memorandum and the attachments thereto (the "Offering Documents")
and hereby represents that he has been furnished by the Company during the
course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company which he
had requested or desired to know; that all documents which could be reasonably
provided have been made available for his inspection and review; that he 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 the Offering, and any additional information which he had
requested.
1.6 The Subscriber acknowledges that this offering of Shares
may involve tax consequences, and that the contents of the Offering Documents do
not contain tax advice or information. The Subscriber acknowledges that he must
retain his own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences
of an investment in the Shares.
1.7 The Subscriber acknowledges that this offering of Shares
has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") 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. The Subscriber
represents that the Shares are being purchased for his own account, for
investment and not for distribution or resale to others. The Subscriber agrees
that he will not sell or otherwise transfer such securities unless they are
registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is
available.
1.8 The Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been
registered under the Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions
of the Act which depends, in part, upon his investment intention. In this
connection, the Subscriber understands that it is the position of the SEC that
the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present
2
if his representation merely meant that his present intention was to hold such
securities for a short period, such as the capital gains period of tax statutes,
for a deferred sale, for a market rise, assuming a market develops, or for any
other fixed period. The Subscriber realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a
purchase now with an intent to resell would represent a purchase with an intent
inconsistent with his representation to the Company, and the SEC might regard
such a sale or disposition as a deferred sale to which such exemptions are not
available.
1.9 The Subscriber understands that there is no public market
for the securities comprising the Shares. The Subscriber understands that even
if a public market exists for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Shares, 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or its dissemination to the public of any current financial or other
information concerning the Company, as is required by Rule 144 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 Shares under the Act, with the exception of certain registration
rights set forth in Article IV herein. The Subscriber consents that the Company
may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the securities comprising the Shares
or issuable upon conversion thereof out of his name only when his 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"). The Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers
and controlling persons and their respective heirs, representatives, successors
and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and
expenses incurred by them as a result of any misrepresentation made by him
contained herein or in the Investor Questionnaire or any sale or distribution by
the undersigned Subscriber in violation of any Securities Laws.
1.10 The Subscriber consents to the placement of one or more
legends on any certificate or other document evidencing his Shares and the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Shares stating that they have not
been registered under the Act and setting forth or referring to the restrictions
on transferability and sale thereof.
1.11 The Subscriber understands that the Company will review
this Subscription Agreement and the Investor Questionnaire and is hereby given
authority by the undersigned to call his bank or place of employment or
otherwise review the financial standing of
3
the Subscriber; and it is further agreed that the Company reserves the
unrestricted right to reject or limit any subscription and to close the offer at
any time.
1.12 The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of
Subscriber furnished by him at the end of this Subscription Agreement is the
undersigned's principal residence if he is an individual or its principal
business address if it is a corporation or other entity.
1.13 The Subscriber acknowledges that if he is a Registered
Representative of a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")
member firm, he must give such firm the notice required by the NASD Conduct
Rules, or any applicable successor rules of the NASD receipt of which must be
acknowledged by such firm on the signature page hereof.
1.14 The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as set
forth in the Offering Documents, no representations or warranties have been made
to the Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate of the
Company and in entering into this transaction, the Subscriber is not relying on
any information, other than that contained in the Offering Documents and the
results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.
1.15. The Subscriber agrees that he will purchase securities
in the Offering only if his intent at such time is to make such purchase for
investment purposes and not with a view toward resale.
1.16 If the undersigned Subscriber is a partnership,
corporation, trust or other entity, such partnership, corporation, trust or
other entity further 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 Shares; 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.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party

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

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

prevent counsel for the indemnifying party from also representing the
indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties have the right to select

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)
