Exhibit 10.7
(For Accredited Investors)
Gentlemen:
The following information is furnished as the undersigned’s subscription for shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Shares”), issued by AURIOS INC., an Arizona corporation (the “Company”), and for you to determine whether I am qualified to purchase Shares from the Company pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and comparable provisions of applicable state securities laws. I, the undersigned, understand that you will rely upon the following information for purposes of such determination, and that the Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Sections 3(b) and 4(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D thereunder, and comparable provisions of applicable state securities laws.
I further understand I may be required to supply a balance sheet, prior years’ federal income tax returns or other appropriate documentation to verify and substantiate my status as an Accredited Investor.

However, it is agreed that you may present this document to such parties as you deem appropriate if called upon to establish that the proposed offer and sale of the Shares is exempt from registration under the Securities Act or meets the requirements of applicable state securities laws. I understand that if I make a false statement, it will constitute a violation of my representations and warranties under this Subscription Agreement and may also constitute a violation of law, for which the Company can make a claim for damages against me. My investment in the Shares will not be accepted until the Company determines that I satisfy all of the suitability standards set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum, dated August 1, 2007 (the “Memorandum”).

| 8. | Representations and Warranties. I, the undersigned, represent and warrant as follows: |
| (a) | I have received the Memorandum, have carefully reviewed the Memorandum, and have relied solely on the information contained therein, and information otherwise provided to me in writing by the Company. I understand that all documents, records and books pertaining to this investment have been made available by the Company for inspection by me or my attorney, accountant and Purchaser Representative. I am familiar with the Company’s business objectives and the financial arrangements in connection therewith. The Shares I am purchasing are the kind of securities that I wish to hold for investment and the nature of the Shares are consistent with my investment program. My advisor(s) and I have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the officers and directors of the Company concerning the Company and the Shares. All such questions have been answered to my full satisfaction. I, or my representatives, have made such investigation of the facts and circumstances set forth in the Memorandum and exhibits thereto in connection with any purchase of the Shares as I have deemed necessary. No representations have been made or information furnished to me or my advisor(s) relating to the Company or the Shares that are in any way inconsistent with the Memorandum. |
| (b) | Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, I hereby irrevocably tender this Subscription Agreement for the purchase of the Shares indicated in Paragraph 12 below and shall pay for such Shares in the manner set forth in such Paragraph. I am aware that the subscription made herein is irrevocable, but that the Company has the unconditional right to accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part, and that the sale of the Shares pursuant hereto is subject to the approval of certain legal matters by legal counsel and to other conditions. If my subscription is not accepted for any reason whatsoever, or, if the offering made through the Memorandum is terminated, my money will be returned in full, without any interest that may be earned thereon, and the Company will be relieved of any responsibility or liability that might be deemed to arise out of my offer to subscribe for the Shares. |
| (c) | I and, if applicable, my Purchaser Representative have carefully reviewed the Memorandum. I have, either alone or together with my Purchaser Representative, such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters as will enable me to evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective investment and to make an informed investment decision. I am also aware that no state or Federal agency has reviewed or endorsed the Memorandum or the Shares, that the Shares involve a high degree of economic risk, and that there may be no public market for the Shares. |
| (d) | I have been advised and am fully aware that investing in the Shares is a speculative and uncertain undertaking, the advantages and benefits of which are generally limited to a certain class of investors, and that the Shares may be sold only to persons who understand the nature of the proposed operations of the Company and for whom the investment is suitable. I represent that I meet such suitability requirements. |
| (e) | I have relied on my own tax and legal adviser and my own investment counselor with respect to the income tax and investment considerations of being an investor as described in the Memorandum. |
| (f) | I meet the requirements of a purchaser as set forth in the Memorandum under the caption “Who May Invest.” |
- 4 -
| (g) | I understand that the Company has not registered the Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares (the “underlying Shares”) under the Securities Act, or the applicable securities laws of any state in reliance on exemptions from registration. I further understand that such exemptions depend upon my investment intent at the time I acquire the Shares. I therefore represent and warrant that I am purchasing the Shares for my own account for investment and not with a view to distribution, assignment, resale or other transfer of the Shares or the Underlying Shares. Except as specifically stated herein, no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Shares or the Underlying Shares. Because the Shares and the Underlying Shares are not registered, I am aware that I must hold them indefinitely unless they are registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or I must obtain exemptions from such registration. I acknowledge that the Company is under no duty to register the Shares or the Underlying Shares or comply with any exemption in connection with my sale, transfer or other disposition under applicable rules and regulations, except as described in the Memorandum. I understand that if I desire to sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate or in any way alienate or encumber the Shares or the Underlying Shares in the future, the Company can require that I provide, at my own expense, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such action will not result in a violation of applicable federal or state securities laws and regulations or other applicable federal or state laws and regulations. |
| (h) | The solicitation of an offer to purchase the Shares was directly communicated to me and any Purchaser Representative that I might have through the Memorandum to which this Subscription Agreement is attached as an Exhibit. At no time was I presented with or solicited by or through any leaflet, public promotional meeting, circular, newspaper or magazine article, radio or television advertisement or any other form of general advertising in connection with such communicated offer. |
| (i) | I recognize that my investment in the Shares involves certain risks and I (and my Purchaser Representative) have taken full cognizance of and understand all of the risk factors related to the business objectives of the Company and the purchase of the Shares, including those risk factors set forth under the caption “RISK FACTORS” in the Memorandum. |
| (j) | All information that I have provided herein, including, without limitation, information concerning myself, my financial position and my knowledge of financial and business matters and that of my Purchaser Representative, is correct and complete as of the date hereof, and if there should be any material change in such information prior to the acceptance of this Subscription Agreement, I will immediately provide the Company with such information. |
| (k) | If the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, trust, unincorporated association or other entity, it is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold the Shares subscribed hereunder, and such entity has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares. If the Subscriber is a trustee and is acquiring the Shares for the trust of which he is a trustee, he has sought the advice of counsel regarding whether the purchase of the Shares is an authorized trust investment and has been advised by counsel that after reviewing the applicable state law and the terms of the trust instrument, such counsel is of the opinion that the undersigned has the authority to purchase the Shares for the trust. |
| (l) | If the Subscriber is an individual, he or she is 21 years of age, or if the Subscriber is an association, all of its members are of such age. |
| 9. | Restrictive Legend. I hereby acknowledge and consent to the placement of the following restrictive legend on the certificate(s) and other documents(s) representing the Shares: |
