Gentlemen:
1. Subscription. The purchaser set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchaser”) hereby agrees to purchase (the “Purchase”) from Vein Associates of America, Inc. (the “Company”) the number of Preferred Units (the “Preferred Units”) set forth opposite each Purchaser’s name on the signature page hereto. Each Preferred Unit consists of one hundred (100) shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $50,000 per Preferred Unit. The Company may issue up to $1,500,000 of Preferred Units in this offering (this “Offering”). The Company may also sell up to an additional $500,000 in Preferred Units, representing an over-allotment allowance in the event this Offering is oversubscribed. This Subscription Agreement, together with the Articles of Amendment relating to the Series B Preferred Stock, the form of Warrant, and the Investor Rights Agreement constitute the “Transaction Documents” for this Offering. The Transaction Documents are included as an exhibit to the Confidential Information Memorandum relating to the Offering dated May 31, 2007 (together with its exhibits and amendments, the “Memorandum”).
2. Purchase and Sale.
(A) The Preferred Units will be offered for sale until June 29, 2007, unless the Company determines to extend the Offering in its sole discretion to July 31, 2007 (the “Termination Date”).
(B) Contemporaneously with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Purchaser shall pay the full amount of the purchase price of the Preferred Units by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an escrow account to be held with the Bank of North Georgia (the “Escrow Agent”).
(C) The Company may hold an initial closing (“Initial Closing”) at any time after the receipt of accepted subscriptions prior to the Termination Date. After the Initial Closing, subsequent closings with respect to additional Preferred Units may take place at any time prior to the Termination Date as determined by the Company, with respect to subscriptions accepted by the Company prior to the Termination Date (each such closing, together with the Initial Closing, being referred to as a “Closing”). The last Closing of the Offering, shall occur upon the earlier of (i) the Company receiving subscriptions in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000 (provided, that the Company may accept over-allotment subscriptions for $500,000 in its sole discretion) or (ii) the Termination Date (the “Final Closing”). Any subscription documents or funds received after the Final Closing will be returned, without interest or deduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company in its sole discretion shall have the right to elect to not sell to any Purchaser any or all of the Preferred Units requested to be purchased by such Purchaser, provided that the Company must return or cause the Escrow Agent to return to such Purchaser any applicable amount of such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount (as calculated on the signature page hereto) relating to the Preferred Units the Company has elected not to sell to such Purchaser.

3

(n) The Company has offered the Preferred Units for sale only to the Purchaser and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3(B), no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Preferred Units by the Company to the Purchaser as contemplated hereby. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this Offering to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act, other than an offering to "accredited investors" in an offering that to the Company's knowledge was conducted in compliance with Regulation D under the Securities Act. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Preferred Units by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.
(o) All disclosures furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby and in the Memorandum is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No material transactions with affiliates or employees of the Company exist other than those described in the Memorandum. Other than as disclosed in the Memorandum, the Company has no knowledge of any event or condition that would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business or operations.
(p) The financial data and disclosures included in the Memorandum fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof, subject to any audit adjustments that may be required, and the Company has not incurred any liabilities (other than trade payables and accrued expenses in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices) or issued any equity securities since the date of such financial data and disclosures, other than as disclosed in the Memorandum.
(B) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants, and agrees as follows:
4
(a) The Preferred Units are not registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The Purchaser understands that the offering and sale of the Preferred Units is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Subscription Agreement.
(b) The Purchaser and the Purchaser’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax adviser, if any (collectively, the “Advisers”), have received the Memorandum and all documents reasonably requested by the Purchaser, if any, have carefully reviewed them and understand the information contained therein, and the Purchaser and the Advisers, if any, prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement, have had access to the same kind of information as would be available in a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act.
(c) All documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment in the Preferred Units have been made available for inspection by such Purchaser and the Advisers, if any.
(d) The Purchaser and the Advisers, if any, have had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the offering of the Preferred Units and the business and financial condition of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and the Advisers, if any.
(e) In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or other information (oral or written) other than as contained in the Memorandum and documents or answers to questions so furnished to the Purchaser or the Advisers by the Company.
(f) The Purchaser is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the Preferred Units through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio and is not subscribing for Preferred Units and did not become aware of the Preferred Units through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in securities generally.
(g) The Purchaser, together with its Advisers, as the case may be, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Purchase to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Preferred Units and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.
(h) The Purchaser is not relying on the Company or any of its employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Preferred Units and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own Advisers.
(i) The Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Units solely for such Purchaser’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof, in whole or in part. The Purchaser has no agreement or arrangement with any person to sell or transfer all or any part of the Preferred Units and the Purchaser has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement.
5
(j) The Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Preferred Units indefinitely because none of the Preferred Units, including the underlying Series B Preferred Stock, Warrants, Shares and Warrant Shares, may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Legends will be placed on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Warrants the Shares and the Warrant Shares, to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws in substantially the following form:
NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE/CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS PURCHASE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
(k) The Purchaser is aware that it will be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time and the Purchaser has adequate means of providing for the Purchaser’s current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of its investment in the Preferred Units for an indefinite period of time.
(l) The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Preferred Units involves a number of significant risks and, in particular, acknowledges that the Company is a recently formed entity and has a limited operating history.
(m) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined under the Securities Act, as described in the Accredited Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Annex I.
6
(n) The Purchaser represents that (i) if an entity, it was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Preferred Units (or that if it was, that each equityholder is an “accredited investor”), (ii) if an entity, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (iii) if an entity, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of state law or its charter or other organizational documents, (iv) it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Preferred Units, (v) the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action and (vi) this Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of Purchaser and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser. The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.
(o) The Purchaser and the Advisers, if any, have had the opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent the Company had such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in all documents received or reviewed in connection with the purchase of the Preferred Units and have had the opportunity to have representatives of the Company provide them with such additional information regarding the terms and conditions of this particular investment and the financial condition and business of the Company deemed relevant by the Purchaser or the Advisers, if any, and all such requested information, to the extent the Company had such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, has been provided to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and the Advisers, if any.
(p) The Purchaser has significant prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities and is knowledgeable about investment considerations in early stage companies. The Purchaser, or its equityholders, has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of his entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. Each Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of its or its equityholders’ net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Preferred Units will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser or its equityholders.
(q) The Purchaser is satisfied that it has received adequate information with respect to all matters which it or its Advisers, if any, consider material to its decision to make this investment.
(r) The Purchaser acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking or similar statements provided to the Purchaser were prepared by the Company in good faith but that the attainment of any such estimates or forward-looking or similar statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company and should not be relied upon.
(s) Promptly after receipt of a request from the Company, the Purchaser will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company is subject.
7
(t) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Preferred Units have not been recommended nor approved by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. In making an investment decision a purchaser must rely on its own examination of the Company and the terms of the Purchase, including the merits and risks involved. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this Subscription Agreement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The Preferred Units are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom.
(u) The Purchaser should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at <http:/xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx> before making the following representations. The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and executive orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx>. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”) prohibit dealing with individuals1 or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists.
(v) To the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Purchaser; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Purchaser; (3) any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser; or (4) any person for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list, or a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC Programs. Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser, suspend the Purchaser’s redemption rights, if any, if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company.
(w) To the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Purchaser; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Purchaser; (3) any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser; or (4) any person for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a senior foreign political figure2, or any immediate family3 member or close associate4 of a senior foreign political figure, as such terms are defined in the footnotes below.

In addition, a “senior foreign political figure” includes any corporation, business or other entity that has been formed by, or for the benefit of, a senior foreign political figure.

8
(x) If the Purchaser is affiliated with a non-U.S. banking institution (a “Foreign Bank”), or if the Purchaser receives deposits from, makes payments on behalf of, or handles other financial transactions related to a Foreign Bank, the Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that: (1) the Foreign Bank has a fixed address, other than solely an electronic address, in a country in which the Foreign Bank is authorized to conduct banking activities; (2) the Foreign Bank maintains operating records related to its banking activities; (3) the Foreign Bank is subject to inspection by the banking authority that licensed the Foreign Bank to conduct banking activities; and (4) the Foreign Bank does not provide banking services to any other Foreign Bank that does not have a physical presence in any country and that is not a regulated affiliate.
4. Reservation of Shares. The Company’s authorized and unreserved Common Stock is currently insufficient for the Company to reserve all of the shares of Common Stock required for issuance of the Shares and Warrant Shares. The Company will request that its authorized Common Stock be increased as soon as reasonably practicable. If the increase in authorized Common Stock is approved and effected, the Company will immediately thereafter reserve a number of shares of Common Stock required for issuance of Shares and Warrant Shares not already reserved.

Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

(d) This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Legal Proceedings
1. Landlord Dispute –
On May 18, 2007 the Company received a summons and complaint from its landlord in Tampa, Florida demanding past due rent and return of the rental space. The Company has 20 days from the date of service to respond or remediate the claim. We have had no medical operations at this location since November 2006.
2. Vendor Dispute –
On March 21, 2007 the Company received a Notice of Hearing from a vendor for advertising expenses incurred in 2006. The matter has been postponed several times. The Company expects that the newspaper will be awarded a judgment related to this matter in an amount less then $23,000. To date we have been unsuccessful in negotiating a payment plan satisfactory to both sides.
3. Other Litigation -
The Company is involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome of these matters is not presently determinable, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of outstanding claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
