five year non-callable Investor Warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of the
Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.30 per share (each, an “Investor Warrant”
and, collectively, the “Investor Warrants”),
on the terms described below:
Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum of the Company, dated as of August
20, 2009, and its attachments thereto (the “Memorandum”). The
Units are sometimes referred to herein as the “Securities.”
In
connection with this subscription, Subscriber and the Company agree as
follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of the
Units.
(a) The
Company hereby agrees to issue and to sell to Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby
agrees to purchase from the Company, such number of Units at a price of $54,000
per Unit (the “Unit
Price”) and for the aggregate subscription amount set forth on the
signature page hereto. The Subscriber understands that this
subscription is not binding upon the Company until the Company accepts
it. The Subscriber acknowledges and understands that acceptance of
this Subscription will be made only by a duly authorized representative of the
Company executing and mailing or otherwise delivering to the Subscriber at the
Subscriber’s address set forth herein, a counterpart copy of the signature page
to this Subscription Agreement indicating the Company’s acceptance of this
Subscription. The Company reserve the right, in its sole discretion
for any reason whatsoever, to accept or reject this subscription in whole or in
part. Following the acceptance of this Subscription Agreement by the
Company, and the receipt and acceptance by the Company of subscriptions to the
Minimum Offering (defined below), the Company shall instruct its transfer agent
to issue and deliver to Subscriber (i) a share certificate evidencing the
applicable number of Shares subscribed for hereunder against payment in U.S.
Dollars of the Purchase Price (as defined below), and (ii) a Common Stock
purchase warrant exercisable at $0.30 per share. If this subscription
is rejected, the Company and the Subscriber shall thereafter have no further
rights or obligations to each other under or in connection with this
Subscription Agreement. If this subscription is not accepted by the
Company on or before the last day of the Offering Period, this subscription
shall be deemed rejected.
(b) Subscriber
has hereby delivered and paid concurrently herewith the aggregate purchase price
for the Units set forth on the signature page hereof in an amount required to
purchase and pay for the Units subscribed for hereunder (the “Purchase Price”),
which amount has been paid in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer or check, subject to
collection, to “American Stock Transfer & Trust Co. LLC, as Agent for CNS
Response, Inc.”, if delivered by wire transfer, or to the order of “Maxim Group
LLC, as Agent for CNS Response, Inc.”, if delivered by
check.
(c) Subscriber
understands and acknowledges that this subscription is part of a private
placement by the Company of up to $6,426,000 of Units, which offering is being
made on an “all or none” basis with respect to $1,512,000 (the “Minimum Amount”) and
on a “best efforts” basis with respect to the Maximum Amount, for a minimum of
approximately 28 Units (the “Minimum Offering”)
and a maximum of approximately 119 Units (the “Maximum
Offering”). Subscriber understands that payments hereunder as
to the Minimum Offering will be held in a non-interest bearing escrow account
established by the Company with American Stock Transfer & Trust Co. LLC, as

Minimum Offering are received and accepted by the Company within the Offering
Period (as described in the Memorandum), including any extended
period. If subscriptions for the Minimum Offering are not received
and accepted by the Company within the Offering Period (including any extended
period), the funds held in such escrow account will be promptly returned to the
subscribers in full without interest or deduction. If the Company
rejects all or a portion of any subscription, a check will be promptly mailed to
the subscriber for all, or the appropriate portion of, the amount submitted with
such subscriber’s subscription, without interest or deduction. All subscriptions
received after subscriptions for the Minimum Offering have been received and
accepted by the Company and the Placement Agent will be deposited in such escrow
account until accepted by the Company and the Placement Agent, whereupon such
subscription proceeds will be released by the escrow agent to the
Company.
2. Representations and
Warranties of Subscriber. Subscriber represents and warrants
to the Company and the Placement Agent as follows:
(a) Subscriber
is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Act”), and Subscriber
is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Subscriber’s investment in the
Units and has the ability and capacity to protect Subscriber’s
interests.
(b) Subscriber
understands that the Securities are not presently registered, but Subscriber is
entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration of the common stock
underlying the Units (see Section 5 below). Subscriber understands
that the Securities will not be registered under the Act on the ground that the
issuance thereof is exempt under Section 4(2) of the Act as a transaction by an
issuer not involving any public offering and that, in the view of the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the statutory
basis for the exemption claimed would not be present if any of the
representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription
Agreement or those of other purchasers of the Securities are untrue or,
notwithstanding the Subscriber’s representations and warranties, the Subscriber
currently has in mind acquiring any of the Securities for resale upon the
occurrence or non-occurrence of some predetermined event.
(c) Subscriber
is purchasing the Securities subscribed for hereby for investment purposes and
not with a view to distribution or resale, nor with the intention of selling,
transferring or otherwise disposing of all or any part thereof for any
particular price, or at any particular time, or upon the happening of any
particular event or circumstance, except selling, transferring, or disposing the
Securities made in full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Act,
the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, and applicable
state securities laws; and that an investment in the Securities is not a liquid
investment.
(d) Subscriber
acknowledges that there exists no public market for the Securities, that no such
public market may develop in the future and as a result, Subscriber acknowledges
that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered
under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is
available. Subscriber is aware of the provisions of Rule 144
promulgated under the Act which permit resales of common stock purchased in a
private placement subject to certain limitations and to the satisfaction of
certain conditions provided for thereunder, including, among other things, the
existence of a public market for the common stock, the availability of certain
current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than
one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the
sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly
with a “market maker” and the number of shares of common stock being sold during
any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.
(e) Subscriber
acknowledges that Subscriber has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and
receive answers from the Company, or any authorized person acting on behalf of
the Company concerning the Company and its business and to obtain any additional
information, to the extent possessed by the Company (or to the extent it could
have been acquired by the Company without unreasonable effort or expense)
necessary to verify the accuracy of the information received by
Subscriber. In connection therewith, Subscriber acknowledges that
Subscriber has had the opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management
and financial affairs with such entity’s management or any authorized person
acting on its behalf. Subscriber has received and reviewed the
Memorandum and all the information concerning the Company and the Units, both
written and oral, that Subscriber desires. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Subscriber has been furnished with or has had the
opportunity to acquire, and to review: (i) copies if all of the Company’s
publicly available documents and the Memorandum, and (ii) all information, both
written and oral, that Subscriber desires with respect to the Company’s
business, management, financial affairs and prospects. In determining
whether to make this investment, Subscriber has relied solely on (i)
Subscriber’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and the business of
the Company based upon Subscriber’s own due diligence investigations and the
information furnished pursuant to this paragraph, and (ii) the information
described in subparagraph 2(g) below. Subscriber understands that no
person has been authorized to give any information or to make any
representations which were not contained in the Memorandum and Subscriber has
not relied on any other representations or information.
(f) Subscriber
has all requisite legal and other power and authority to execute and deliver
this Subscription Agreement and to carry out and perform Subscriber’s
obligations under the terms of this Subscription Agreement. This
Subscription Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of
Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general
application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and
rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other general
principals of equity, whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or law.
(g) Subscriber
has carefully considered and has discussed with the Subscriber’s legal, tax,
accounting and financial advisors, to the extent the Subscriber has deemed
necessary, the suitability of this investment and the transactions contemplated
by this Subscription Agreement for the Subscriber’s particular federal, state,
local and foreign tax and financial situation and has independently determined
that this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription
Agreement are a suitable investment for the Subscriber. Subscriber
has relied solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations
of the Company or any of its agents. Subscriber understands that

this Subscription Agreement do not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit any material fact concerning Subscriber.
(i) There
are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against Subscriber
or Subscriber’s assets before any court or governmental agency (nor, to
Subscriber’s knowledge, is there any threat thereof) which would impair in any
way Subscriber’s ability to enter into and fully perform Subscriber’s
commitments and obligations under this Subscription Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(j) The
execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Subscription
Agreement and the issuance of the Securities will not result in any violation
of, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any of Subscriber’s

mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge against any of the assets or
properties of Subscriber or the Securities.

(q) Because
of the legal restrictions imposed on resale, Subscriber understands that the

(ff)
Subscriber
represents and warrants that he/she/it will have no open position in the
Company’s
common stock at the time a Registration Statement is filed with the SEC to
register the Securities (the “Registration
Statement”) and is aware of the following Telephone Interpretation in the
SEC Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations (July
1997):
A.65.
Section 5
An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration
statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet
effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale
of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered
shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the
short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes
effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at
the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of
section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective
date.
(gg)
Subscriber acknowledges that it will execute and deliver to the
Company a completed selling stockholder questionnaire in connection with the
filing of the Registration Statement, prior to the filing thereof.
(hh) Subscriber
represents and warrants that he/she/it has complied with all applicable
provisions of the Act, the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC
thereunder, including Regulation M and applicable state securities laws, and
will comply at the time of sale pursuant to the Registration
Statement

Subscriber acknowledges that the Placement Agent (including any of its members,
managers, employees, agents or representatives) has not made any representations

their respective businesses, condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects.

efforts” offering and that the Company has engaged the Selling Agent to sell the
securities on its behalf, and will pay the Selling Agent the fees, expenses and
Selling Agent’s Warrants set forth in the Memorandum in connection with the sale
of the Securities.

Offering 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

territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited
countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at

regulations, and Selling Agent may also be required to report such action and to
disclose the Subscriber’s identity to OFAC. The Subscriber further acknowledges
that the Company may, by written notice to the Subscriber, suspend the
redemption rights, if any, of the Subscriber if the Company reasonably deems it
necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable
to the Company and Selling Agent or any of the Company’s other service
providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals,

sanctions and embargo programs;
