Gentlemen:
1. Subscription. On the terms set forth below, the undersigned hereby
subscribes for the shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") and Stock Purchase
Warrants (the "Warrants") in Rush Financial Technologies, Inc., a Texas
corporation (the "Company") set forth on the Signature Page. In connection with
such subscription, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company two executed
counterparts of this Subscription Agreement, together with a check acceptable to
the Company in an amount equal to the full purchase price of the Shares and
Warrants subscribed for hereunder as set forth on the Signature Page. The
undersigned understands and agrees that the Company may decline to accept this
subscription, in which case all instruments tendered herewith will be promptly
returned. If the Company accepts this subscription, such acceptance will be
signified by executing the acknowledgment on the appropriate page of each copy
hereof tendered by the undersigned and causing one such acknowledged copy to be
returned to the undersigned.
2. Delivery of Information. The undersigned acknowledges constructive
receipt of the Company's disclosure materials on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In addition, the undersigned has received all other
information deemed material by the Subscriber to the making of an informed
decision whether to invest in the Company.
3. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of the Undersigned. The
undersigned hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with the Company as
follows:
(a) The undersigned understands that the following information is
being furnished to determine whether sales of the Shares may be made to
the undersigned pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933
(the "1933 Act") and applicable state securities laws. The undersigned
understands that the information contained herein will be relied upon for
purposes of such determination, and the Shares will not be registered
under the 1933 Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act. The undersigned represents and
warrants to the Company and its officers, directors, agents and employees
that; (i) the information contained herein is complete and accurate and
may be relied upon by such parties, and (ii) the undersigned will notify
the Company immediately of any change in any of such information
occurring prior to the closing of the purchase of any Shares by the
undersigned. All information furnished herein or hereby is for the sole
use of the Company and the Company's representatives and counsel, and
will be held in confidence by such persons, except that this Agreement
may be furnished to such parties as may be deemed desirable to establish
compliance with federal, state or foreign securities laws.
6
(b) The undersigned has adequate net worth and means of providing for
his/her current needs and possible personal contingencies, and the
undersigned has no need, and anticipates no need in the foreseeable
future, to sell the Shares for which the undersigned hereby subscribes.
The undersigned is able to bear the economic risks of this investment
and, consequently, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
undersigned is able to hold his/her Shares for an indefinite period of
time and has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of his/her entire
investment in the Company in the event such loss should occur. The
overall commitment by the undersigned to investments that are not readily
marketable is not disproportionate to his/her net worth, and his/her
acquisition of Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become
excessive. The undersigned is an "Accredited Investor" as defined by SEC
Regulation D.
(c) The undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that the undersigned is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of an investment in the Shares.
(d) The undersigned confirms that all documents, records, and books
pertaining to the undersigned's proposed investment in the Company have
been made available to the undersigned.
(e) The undersigned has had an opportunity to ask questions of and
receive satisfactory answers from the Company, or any person or persons
acting on the Company's behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of
this investment, and all such questions have been answered to the full
satisfaction of the undersigned.
(f) The Shares for which the undersigned hereby subscribes will be
acquired for the undersigned's own account for investment, and not with
the view toward resale or redistribution in a manner which would require
registration under the 1933 Act, and the undersigned does not now have
any reason to anticipate any change in the undersigned's circumstances or
other particular occasion or event which would cause the undersigned to
sell his/her Shares.
(g) The undersigned represents that it has been called to his/her
attention, that an investment in the Shares involves a high degree of
risk which may result in the loss of the total amount of the
undersigned's investment.
(h) The undersigned is now a bona fide individual resident of the
state set forth herein, and the address and social security number or
federal tax identification number set forth herein is the true and
correct residence and social security number or federal tax
identification number of the undersigned. The undersigned has no present
intention of becoming a resident of any other state or jurisdiction.
(i) The undersigned acknowledges that the Company has made available
to the undersigned or the undersigned's personal advisors the opportunity
to obtain additional information to verify the accuracy of the
information contained in the disclosure materials and to evaluate the
merits and risks of this investment, including, but not limited to, the
income tax consequences of the investment. The undersigned represents
that, by reason of his/her business and financial experience, the
undersigned has acquired the capacity to protect his/her own interest in
investments of this nature. In reaching the conclusion that the
undersigned desires to acquire the Shares, the undersigned has carefully
7
evaluated his/her financial resources and investment position and the
risks associated with this investment, and acknowledges that he/she is
able to bear the economic risks of this investment.
(j) The Shares and Warrants have been offered to the undersigned
without any form of general solicitation or advertising of any type by or
on behalf of the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or
agents, or any other person.
(k) The undersigned understands that neither the Securities Exchange
Commission nor any securities administrator of any state has made any
finding or determination relating to the fairness of an investment in the
Shares, and that neither the Securities Exchange Commission nor any
securities administrator of any state has or will recommend or endorse
any offering of the Shares.
4. Limitation on Transfer of Shares and Warrants. The undersigned
acknowledges that he/she is aware that there are substantial restrictions on the
transferability of the Shares and Warrants. The Shares and Warrants will not be
registered under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws, and the
Shares and Warrants may not be, and the undersigned agrees that they shall not
be, sold, unless such sale is registered or exempt from such registration under
the 1933 Act or state securities laws or regulations. The undersigned also
acknowledges that he/she shall be responsible for compliance with all conditions
on transfer imposed by any securities administrator of any state and for any
expenses incurred by the Company for legal or accounting services in connection
with reviewing such a proposed transfer and/or issuing an opinion in connection
therewith. The Company agrees to include the listing of the Shares and Warrants
in the next SEC Registration Statement filed by the Company, and intends to use
its best efforts to make the Registration Statement effective.
5. Compliance with Securities Laws. The undersigned understands and agrees
that the following restrictions and limitations are applicable to the
undersigned's purchase and resale or other transfers of the Shares and Warrants
pursuant to the 0000 Xxx.

sold or otherwise transferred unless the Shares and Warrants are
registered under the 1933 Act and state securities laws, or are exempt
therefrom.
(b) A legend in substantially the following form has been or will be
placed on the certificate(s) or other document(s), if any, evidencing the
Shares and Warrants:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. WITHOUT SUCH
REGISTRATION, SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED,
EXCEPT UPON DELIVERY TO THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY
TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED FOR SUCH TRANSFER, OR
SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT
THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER SHALL NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR ANY RULE OR
REGULATION PROMULGATED THEREUNDER.

(c) Stop transfer instructions have been or will be imposed with
respect to the Shares and Warrants so as to restrict resale or other
transfer thereof, subject to the further items hereof, including the
provisions of the legend set forth in subparagraph (b) above.
6. Registration Rights. If at any time the Company shall prepare and file
one or more registration statements under the Act with respect to a public
offering of equity or debt securities of the Company, or of any such securities
of the Company held by its security holders, other than a registration statement
on Forms X-0, X-0, or similar form, the Company will include in any such
registration statement such information as is required, and such number of
shares of Common Stock held by the undersigned to permit a public offering of
such shares of Common Stock as required; provided, however, that if, in the
written opinion of the Company's managing underwriter, if any, for such
offering, the inclusion of the shares requested to be registered, when added to
the securities being registered by the Company or the selling security
holder(s), would exceed the maximum amount of the Company's securities that can
be marketed without otherwise materially and adversely affecting the entire
offering, then the Company may exclude from such offering that portion of the
shares required to be so registered so that the total number of securities to be
registered is within the maximum number of shares that, in the opinion of the
managing underwriter, may be marketed without otherwise materially and adversely
affecting the entire offering. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain
promptly the effectiveness of such registration statement and maintain the
effectiveness thereof for at least 180 days and to register or qualify the
subject shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant for sale in up to five
(5) states identified by the undersigned. The Company shall bear all fees and
expenses other than the fees and expenses of the undersigned's counsel incurred
in the preparation and filing of such registration statement and related state
registrations, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and the furnishing of
copies of the preliminary and final prospectus thereof to the undersigned.
