This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (the “Subscription Agreement”) sets forth the terms by which the undersigned (sometimes also referred to as the “subscriber”) hereby subscribes for a Convertible Promissory (“Note” or “Securities”) of NaturalNano, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Company is offering for purchase Notes in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 (subject to increase, at the Company’s sole discretion)(the “Offering”).

The Notes will be offered by the Company on a best efforts basis but may utilize the services of selected registered broker-dealers. The Notes shall be offered only to “Accredited Investors,” as such term is defined under Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), including, without limitation, entities within such definition, without registration, pursuant to the exemption from registration created by Regulation D under the Act. The Offering will commence on June 6, 2005, and shall terminate on July 31, 2005, unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion and without notice to any subscriber (the “Offering Period”).

The subscriber agrees to pay the purchase price listed on the signature page as a subscription for the Note being purchased hereunder. The entire purchase price is due and payable upon the execution of this Subscription Agreement, and shall be paid by check, subject to collection, or by wire transfer. The Company shall have the right to reject this subscription in whole or in part.

The Company, at its discretion, will hold a closing on, and issue, the Notes upon the receipt and acceptance by the Company of Subscription Agreements (“First Closing”). As additional subscriptions are received and accepted by the Company, the Company will hold additional closings as the Company deems necessary until (i) it has received and accepted subscriptions for the entire offering or (ii) the Termination Date, whichever occurs first.

(h)    The subscriber represents that the subscriber’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the subscriber’s net worth, and the subscriber’s investment in the Note will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

The subscriber will not pledge, transfer or assign this Subscription Agreement, or any interest herein or any obligation or right hereunder, without first obtaining the written consent of the Company.

(i)    The subscriber represents that the funds provided for this investment are either separate property of the subscriber, community property over which the subscriber has the right of control, or are otherwise funds as to which the subscriber has the sole right of management.

(l)    The subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Note.

(m)    The subscriber acknowledges that the certificates for the Note and the shares into which the Note may be converted which the subscriber will receive will contain a legend substantially as follows:
 
THE SECURITIES WHICH ARE REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNTIL A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER SUCH ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH LAWS IS AVAILABLE.

The piggy back registration rights shall be subject to underwriter’s approval and other such restrictions (the “Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its good faith efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as long as the delivery of a prospectus thereunder is required under the Act and its regulations, including, but not limited to, Rule 144 thereunder or its successor regulations (“Rule 144”), in connection with the disposition of the Securities; provided, that it is agreed and acknowledged that such obligation of the Company to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall cease upon the ability of the subscribers to sell or otherwise dispose of all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under Rule 144; provided further, that, notwithstanding the Company’s obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso, and notwithstanding the duration of any Blackout Period, such obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall cease under all circumstances no later than the second anniversary of the date of the final Closing of the Offering (the “Final Date”).

(b)    The Company agrees to pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the Registration Statement.

For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Selling Expenses” shall mean underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the Registrable Securities registered on behalf of the subscriber for Note hereunder.
 
8


(c)    The Registration Statement will not be deemed to have become effective (and the related registration will not be deemed to have been effected) unless it has been declared effective by the Commission prior to a request by the subscriber that such Registration Statement be withdrawn; provided, however, that if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court.

(d)    At any time or from time to time, the subscriber may elect to have its Registrable Securities sold in an underwritten offering and may select the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will serve as lead and co-managing underwriters with respect to the offering of its Registrable Securities, subject to the consent of the Company which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e)    The subscriber agrees, as a condition to the registration obligations with respect to the subscriber provided herein, to furnish to the Company such information regarding the subscriber required to be included in the Registration Statement, the ownership of Registrable Securities by the subscriber and the proposed distribution by the subscriber of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

(f)    The subscriber agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind which the Company reasonably regards as requiring the subscriber to discontinue sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, the subscriber will forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the affected Registration Statement until the subscriber’s receipt of the copies of any supplemented or amended prospectus as shall be required in the reasonable opinion of the Company, and, if so directed by the Company, the subscriber will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in the subscriber’s possession, of any prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which was current at the time of receipt of such notice.

3.    Indemnification; Contribution.
 
(a)    Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each person who participates as an underwriter of the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, the subscriber and its respective partners, directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls any subscriber or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as follows:

(i)    against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and reasonable expenses whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement pursuant to which Securities were registered under the Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
 
9


(ii)    against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and reasonable expenses whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any other claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii)    against any and all reasonable expense whatsoever, as incurred (including fees and disbursements of counsel) in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether or not such person is a party, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement does not apply to the subscriber or underwriter with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in any such case made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the subscriber or underwriter expressly for use in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); and provided further, in the case of an offering that is not an underwritten offering, the Company will not be liable to the subscriber under the indemnity agreement in this Section 3(a) for any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense that arises out of the subscriber’s failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus (as its may then be amended or supplemented) to the person asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Securities to such person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus (as it may then be amended or supplemented) and the Company has previously furnished copies thereof in accordance with this Subscription Agreement.

(b)    Indemnification by the Subscriber. The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each underwriter and each of their respective partners, directors, officers and employees (including each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement), and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and expenses described in the indemnity contained in paragraph (a) of this Section (provided that any settlement of the type described therein is effected with the written consent of the subscriber), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact contained in any prospectus or the omissions or alleged omissions therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in any such case made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the subscriber expressly for use in such Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
 
10


(c)    Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Each indemnified party or parties shall give reasonably prompt notice to each indemnifying party or parties of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but which it or they may have under this indemnity agreement, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. If the indemnifying party or parties so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, the indemnifying party or parties may assume the defense of such action or proceeding at such indemnifying party’s or parties’ expense with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party or parties and approved by the indemnified party defendant in such action or proceeding, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, if such indemnified party or parties determines in good faith that a conflict of interest exists and that therefore it is advisable for such indemnified party or parties to be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be legal defenses available to it or them which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party or parties shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the indemnified party or parties shall be entitled to separate counsel (limited in each jurisdiction to one counsel for all underwriters and another counsel for all other indemnified parties under this Subscription Agreement) at the indemnifying party’s or parties’ expense. If an indemnifying party or parties is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action or does not assume such defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party or parties will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party or parties (limited in each jurisdiction to one counsel for all underwriters and another counsel for all other indemnified parties under this Subscription Agreement). No indemnifying party or parties will be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of such indemnifying party or parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If an indemnifying party is entitled to assume, and assumes, the defense of such action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph, such indemnifying party or parties shall not, except as otherwise provided in this subsection (c), be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding.

(d)   Contribution.

(i)    In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Section is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and expenses suffered by an indemnified party referred to therein, each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the subscriber (including, in each case, that of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents), on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the subscriber (including, in each case, that of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents), on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or by or on behalf of the Holder, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.
 
11
