Attention: Board of Directors
Dear Sirs:
1. The undersigned (the "Purchaser") hereby offers to
subscribe to (a) 1,282,675 shares (the "Class A Shares") of Class A common
stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of JAG Media Holdings, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company") and (b) 20,000 shares (the "Series 3 Shares") of
Series 3 Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (collectively, the
"Shares"), and pay therefore a total consideration of $422,000.00. It is
understood that the Company will deliver to the Purchaser certificates for the
Shares against payment to the Company of the purchase price thereof. The rights
and preferences of the Series 3 Shares are set forth in the Certificate of
Designation attached hereto as Exhibit A.
2. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company
that it is acquiring the Shares solely for its own account for investment, and
not as a nominee for any other party, and not with a view to the distribution
thereof or with any present intention of selling any thereof. The Purchaser
acknowledges that it has been informed by the Company that the Shares have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. The Purchaser also acknowledges that it is fully aware of the
restrictions on disposing of the Shares resulting from the provisions of the
Securities Act and the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder (including, without limitation, Rule 144). The
Purchaser hereby confirms and acknowledges that it will not offer, sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the Shares except under circumstances that will not
result in a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
laws. Further, the Purchaser acknowledges (i) that the purchase of the Shares is
a long term investment and (ii) that the Purchaser must bear the economic risk
of the investment for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not
been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and that
the Purchaser's financial condition is such that it is not likely that it will
be necessary to dispose of any of the Shares in the foreseeable future.
3. (a) Each certificate representing Shares shall be
endorsed with the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR STATE
SECURITIES LAWS, AND NO TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY BE MADE EXCEPT
(A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR
(B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM WITH RESPECT TO WHICH THE
COMPANY MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER THAT SUCH
TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT.
(b) Each certificate representing Series 3 Shares shall also
be endorsed with the following legend:
THE MANDATORY REDEMPTION PROVISIONS, DIVIDEND RIGHTS, VOTING POWERS,
PREFERENCES, LIMITATIONS, RESTRICTIONS AND OTHER RIGHTS OF THE SERIES 3
CLASS B COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION ARE SET FORTH IN FULL IN THE
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF THE SERIES 3 CLASS B COMMON STOCK OF THE
CORPORATION, WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE
OF NEVADA AND AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE
CORPORATION UPON THE REQUEST OF ANY STOCKHOLDER OF THE CORPORATION.
4. The Purchaser has such experience and knowledge in
financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of the investment contemplated hereby and has reviewed the merits of such
investment with tax and legal counsel and other advisors to the extent deemed
advisable. The Purchaser has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and
receive answers from, JAG Media Holdings, Inc. concerning the investment and to
obtain any additional information the Purchaser deemed necessary. The Purchaser
is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
5. You represent that you have not dealt with any finders,
placement agents or brokers of any kind in connection with this matter, other
than RMC1 Capital Markets, Inc.
6. By acknowledgement of this letter below, the Company hereby
agrees that it will undertake to register the Class A Shares issuable hereunder
on a registration statement to be selected by the Company and that such
registration statement will be filed with the SEC by the earlier of (a) ten (10)
business days following the Oil@Work closing; (b) ten (10) business days
following the termination of the Oil@Work transaction; or (c) 90 calendar days
after the date of this Subscription Agreement. The Company will enter
appropriate stop-transfer orders on any register or records maintained by or on
behalf of the Company with respect to the Shares to insure that the Shares are
not transferred except in accordance with this letter.
7. The Purchaser is a limited liability company organized
under the laws of the State of Florida.
8. The Company makes no representations or warranties
whatsoever, whether express or implied, hereunder.
Very truly yours,
BAY POINT INVESTMENT PARTNERS LLC

OF
JAG MEDIA HOLDINGS, INC.
The undersigned, the duly elected and acting president of JAG Media

Corporation.
(c) Distribution of Assets. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Corporation, subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of
any of the Corporation's securities other than common stock, the holders of the
Series 3 Class B common stock, Series 2 Class B common stock Series 1 Class B

et al) which is, as of the date of this resolution, pending in U.S. District

mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption
Date, to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed, at such holder's
address as the same appears on the stock register of the Corporation; provided,
however, that no failure to give such notice, nor any deficiency therein, shall
affect the validity of the procedure for the redemption of any shares of Series
3 Class B common stock to be redeemed except as to the holder or holders to whom
the Company has failed to give such notice or whose notice was defective. The
Redemption Notice shall state:
(A) the Redemption Price;

in such redemption notice, its certificates representing the
shares of Series 3 Class B common stock to be redeemed;
(D) that dividends on the shares of the Series 3
Class B common stock to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate
on the day prior to the Redemption Date unless the Corporation
defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price; and
(E) the name of any bank or trust company performing
the duties referred to in subsection (e)(5) below.

thereof, and the shares represented by each surrendered certificate shall be
returned to authorized but unissued shares.
(3) Unless the Company defaults in the payment in full of the

redemption shall cease to accumulate on the day prior to the Redemption Date,
and the holders of such shares shall cease to have any further rights with
respect thereto on the Redemption Date, other than the right to receive the

(4) If a Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if,
on or before the Redemption Date specified therein, all funds necessary for such
redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from
its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the Series
3 Class B common stock called for redemption so as to be and continue to be
available therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for shares so
called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, all
shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding, and all
rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such Redemption Date cease
and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the
amount payable on redemption thereof, without interest.
(5) If a Redemption Notice shall have been duly given or if
the Corporation shall have given to the bank or trust company hereinafter
referred to irrevocable authorization promptly to give such notice, and if on or
before the Redemption Date specified therein the funds necessary for such
redemption shall have been deposited by the Corporation with such bank or trust
company in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the Series 3 Class B
common stock called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificate
for shares so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, from and after the time of such deposit, all shares so called, or
to be so called pursuant to such irrevocable authorization, for redemption shall
no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares
shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders
thereof to receive from such bank or trust company at any time after the time of
such deposit the funds so deposited, without interest. The aforesaid bank or
trust company shall be organized and in good standing under the laws of the
United States of America or of any state thereof. Any interest accrued on such
funds shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. Any funds so set aside
or deposited, as the case may be, and unclaimed at the end of three years from
such Redemption Date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released or
repaid to the Corporation, after which repayment the holders of the shares so
called for redemption shall look only to the Corporation for payment thereof.
(6) All interpretations of the redemption provisions contained
in this Section (e) and all determinations required to be made in connection
with the Redemption Date and the Redemption Price, including, without
limitation, the determination of which successor or related actions or
proceedings may constitute a Lawsuit (as defined herein), shall be within the
discretion of the Board of Directors and any such determination by the Board of
Directors shall be final and conclusive, and actions by the Corporation in
respect of this Section (e) shall be taken at the direction of the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors may, but need not, appoint such agents,
attorneys-in-fact and trustees as and with such revocable and irrevocable powers
as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion to carry out the redemption
provided for herein.
(f) No Reissuance of Series 3 Class B common stock. None of the shares
of Series 3 Class B common stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of
redemption, purchase, or otherwise shall be reissued.
(g) Business Day. If any payment or redemption shall be required by the
terms hereof to be made on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment or
redemption shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day. For the
purposes of this Resolution, Business Day shall mean any day other than a
Saturday, Sunday, national or relevant state holiday or any other day on which
commercial banks in New York City are authorized or required by law to be
closed.
(h) Share Certificates. Share certificates shall be issued to represent
the Series 3 Class B common stock which will specify the number of shares
represented by such certificate and the name of the beneficial owner of such
shares. Shares of Series 3 Class B common stock may be transferred only on the
books of the Corporation in person or by duly authorized attorney upon surrender
of said certificate properly endorsed and specifying the new beneficial owner.
(i) Legend. The Series 3 Class B common stock will bear a legend to the
following effect:
THE MANDATORY REDEMPTION PROVISIONS, DIVIDEND RIGHTS, VOTING POWERS,
PREFERENCES, LIMITATIONS, RESTRICTIONS AND OTHER RIGHTS OF THE SERIES 3 CLASS B
COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION ARE SET FORTH IN FULL IN THE CERTIFICATE OF
DESIGNATION OF THE SERIES 3 CLASS B COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION, WHICH IS ON
FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF NEVADA AND AVAILABLE FREE OF
CHARGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION UPON THE REQUEST OF ANY STOCKHOLDER
OF THE CORPORATION.
The foregoing resolution has been duly adopted by the Board of
Directors in accordance with the provisions of Section 78.195 of the Revised
Statutes of the State of Nevada and the Article FOURTH of the Corporation's
Articles.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed this Certificate of
