Common Stock
VCAMPUS CORPORATION
1. Subscription. The undersigned (hereinafter referred to as “Subscriber”) hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock of VCampus Corporation (the “Company”), par value $0.01 per share, set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Shares”) in consideration for payment by the Subscriber of a per Share purchase price of $1.63 (the “Purchase Price”) pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Subscriber herewith tenders the entire amount of such purchase price by check or wire transfer payable to the order of the Company.
The Subscriber acknowledges that at the time of issuance the Common Stock will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in the Act, and that the Company’s reliance upon such exemption is based, at least partially, on the Subscriber’s representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement.
2. Acceptance or Rejection of Subscription. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that this subscription shall not be effective until accepted in writing by the Company, and that the Company reserves the right to reject this subscription in whole or in part. The Company is raising capital through the sale of up to approximately 620,000 Shares. Subscriptions may be rejected for insufficient documentation or for such other reason as the Company may determine, in its sole discretion, to be in the best interests of the Company. The Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to close this offering at any time. In the event the Subscriber’s subscription is accepted by the Company, (the “Closing”) Subscriber’s Shares shall be issued as of the date specified by the Company at the time of acceptance.
3. Warrants. Subscriber shall receive 5-year warrants, (the “Warrants”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 125% of the total number of Shares purchased hereunder at an exercise price equal to the Purchase Price paid for the Shares.
4. Registration Rights. The Shares purchased hereunder, together with the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), shall have registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B.
5. Subscriber’s Representations and Warranties. Subscriber represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees to the following.
a. Subscriber is a resident of the state indicated on the signature page hereof, is legally competent to execute this Agreement, and:
(i) if Subscriber is an individual, has his or her principal residence in such state and is at least 21 years of age; or
(ii) if Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, trust or other form of business organization, has its principal office in such state; or
(iii) if Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, trust or other form of business organization, Subscriber has not been organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.
b. This Agreement is and shall be irrevocable, except that the Subscriber shall have no obligations hereunder in the event that the subscription is not accepted by the Company in whole or in part.
c. The Subscriber has read this Agreement carefully and, to the extent believed necessary, has discussed the representations, warranties and agreements and the applicable limitations upon the Subscriber’s resale of the Shares and Warrant Shares with counsel.
d. The Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination regarding the fairness of this offering, or any recommendation or endorsement of this offering.
e. The Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
Entities that are accredited investors under Rule 501 include, among others, certain banks, savings and loan associations, registered securities broker-dealers, insurance companies, registered investment companies and trusts. Individuals that are accredited investors under Rule 501 include, among others, any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person’s spouse,
2
exceeds $1 million; or who had income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and who has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year.
f. The Subscriber has received from the Company or others and has read copies of the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and has had an adequate opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding these documents (the “SEC Filings”).
g. The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber, if an individual, has adequate means of providing for his/her current needs and personal and family contingencies and has no need for liquidity in his/her investment in this offering.
h. The Subscriber is financially able to bear the economic risk of this investment, including the ability to afford holding the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) for an indefinite period, or to afford a complete loss of its investment.
i. The Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the Subscriber’s own account, with the intention of holding the Securities for investment purposes and not for the purpose of reselling or otherwise participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Securities, and shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of any portion of the Securities purchased hereby without registration under the Act and any applicable securities act of any state or unless an exemption from registration is available under such acts.
j. The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth, and the Subscriber’s investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
k. The Subscriber understands that an investment in the Securities is a highly illiquid investment, and that, the Subscriber will have to bear the economic risk of the investment indefinitely (or at least until such shares may become registered for resale as provided under this Agreement) because the Securities has not been registered under the Act and is being issued pursuant to a private placement exemption under Regulation D, on the grounds that no public offering is involved. Therefore, the Securities cannot be offered, sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of to any person, unless either it is subsequently registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from registration is available and the Subscriber obtains a favorable opinion of the Company’s counsel to that effect.
l. Prior to registration of the Shares by the Company pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Subscriber understands that the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act are not available for at least one (1) year to permit resale of the Securities, and there can be no assurance that the conditions necessary to permit routine sales of the Securities under Rule 144 will ever be satisfied, and, if Rule 144 should become available, routine sales made in reliance on
3
its provisions could be made only in limited amounts and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Rule. The Subscriber further understands that in connection with sales for which Rule 144 is not available, compliance with some other registration exemption will be required, which may not be available.
m. The Subscriber understands and agrees that stop transfer instructions will be given to the Company’s transfer agent or the officer in charge of its stock records and noted on the appropriate records of the Company to the effect that the Securities may not be transferred out of the Subscriber’s name unless either the Securities become registered for resale under the Act or it is established to the satisfaction of counsel for the Company that an exemption from the registration provisions of the Act and applicable state securities laws is available therefor. The Subscriber further agrees that there will be placed on the certificates for the Shares and Warrant Shares, or any substitutions therefore, a legend stating in substance as follows, that the Subscriber understands and agrees that the Company may refuse to permit the transfer of the stock out of its name and that the stock must be held indefinitely in the absence of compliance with the terms of such legend. The Company agrees to remove the following restrictive legend from the certificates, upon request from the Subscriber, promptly following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Shares and Warrant Shares and each Subscriber certifies that it will thereafter sell the common stock evidenced by such unlegended certificates only pursuant to the final prospectus as permitted under the Registration Rights Agreement or pursuant to Rule 144.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES ACT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR PLEDGED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION UNLESS THE CORPORATION RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH MAY BE COUNSEL FOR THE CORPORATION) REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
n. The Subscriber has been given the opportunity to review the Company’s SEC Filings, and to ask questions of, and receive answers from, Company representatives concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain such other information as the Subscriber desires in order to evaluate an investment in the Common Stock.
o. The Subscriber did not learn of the investment in the Securities as a result of any public advertising or general solicitation.
p. Neither the Subscriber nor any of its affiliates has, directly or indirectly, engaged in any “short sales” of the Company’s securities or other hedging strategies. Subscriber covenants that it will not engage in any short sales of the Company’s securities so long as it holds
4
any Shares or Warrants purchased hereunder and it will comply with all securities laws in connection with its investment and trading practices.
q. The Subscriber agrees to indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and employees, and to hold them harmless from and against any and all liability, damages, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, on account of or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy in the Subscriber’s representations and warranties hereinabove set forth; (ii) the disposition of any of the Securities which it will receive, contrary to its foregoing representations and warranties; and (iii) any action, suit or proceeding based upon either the claim that the Subscriber’s representations or warranties were inaccurate or misleading or otherwise cause for obtaining damages or redress from the Company, its directors, officers or employees, or the disposition of any portion of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.q., no Subscriber shall be required to indemnify any person in an amount in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by such Subscriber hereunder.
6. Company Representations and Warranties. Except as disclosed in the Company’s SEC Filings, the Company represents and warrants to the Subscriber as follows:
a. Organization and Standing. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified and authorized to do business, and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, in Virginia and in each other jurisdiction where the nature of its activities and of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except where a failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
b. Capitalization. The authorized and outstanding capital of the Company, as of March 21, 2005, consisted of: 171,586 shares of undesignated and unissued Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share; and 36,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, 8,511,904 of which were issued and outstanding.
All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock that have been duly authorized and validly issued are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company has duly and validly reserved the Shares and Warrant Shares for issuance as contemplated hereby. Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings, there are no outstanding rights of first refusal, preemptive rights or other rights, options, warrants, conversion rights or other agreements, either directly or indirectly, for the purchase or acquisition from the Company of any shares of its capital stock.

This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company and the respective other parties thereto, shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with
5
its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, rules and laws governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

e. Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation of any provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation or its Bylaws as amended, or of any provisions of any material agreement or any judgment, decree or order by which it is bound or any statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company. Subject to the compliance with such filings as may be required to be made with the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) and certain state securities commissions, the execution, delivery and performance of this agreement and the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant hereto, will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such provisions or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company.
f. Governmental Consents. All consents, approvals, orders or authorization of, or registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings with, any federal or state governmental authority on the part of the Company required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this agreement, the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares, or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby, have been obtained (other than post-sale filings pursuant to applicable state and federal securities law).

h. Disclosure.
