managed accounts who are purchasing solely for their own accounts for
investment) for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for
distributing or reselling such Debentures or Underlying Shares or any part
thereof or interest therein, without prejudice, however, to the Purchaser's
right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Debentures or Underlying Shares in
compliance with applicable State securities laws and under an exemption from
registration under Rule 504(b) of the Securities Act of 1933.
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser (and any
account for which it is purchasing) was offered the Debentures, it (and any
account for which it is purchasing) was, and at the date hereof, it (and any
account for which it is purchasing) is, and at the Closing Date, it (and any
account for which it is purchasing) will be, an "accredited investor" as defined
in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience of Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or

(e) Ability of Purchaser to Bear Risk of Investment. The
Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Debentures
and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(g) Access to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges receipt
of the Disclosure Materials and further acknowledges that it has been afforded
(i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to
receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and
conditions of the offering of the Debentures and the merits and risks of
investing in the Debentures; (ii) access to information about the Company and
the Company's financial condition, results of operations, business, properties,
management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment in
the Common Stock; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional
information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable
effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with
respect to the Debentures and to verify the accuracy and completeness of the
information contained in the Disclosure Materials.
(h) Reliance. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that
(i) the Debentures are being offered and sold, and the Underlying Shares are
being offered, to it without registration under the Securities Act in a private
placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act
and (ii) the availability of such exemption, depends in part on, and that the
Company will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the foregoing
representations and the Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.
3.3. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser makes no
representation or warranty with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
IV. OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1. Manner of Offering. The Debentures are being issued pursuant to
Rule 504(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. The Debentures and
the Underlying Shares will be exempt from restrictions on transfer, and will
carry no restrictive legend. The Company will use its best efforts to insure
that no actions are taken that would jeopardize the availability of the
exemption from registration under Rule 504(b) for the Debentures and the
Underlying Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall take any
action or any event shall occur, the effect of which would be to cause the
Underlying Shares to be issued upon conversion of any then outstanding
Debentures to be restricted securities (as such term is defined in Rule 144
promulgated under the 1933 Act), the Company agrees to immediately file with the
Commission and cause to become effective as soon as practicable a registration
statement which would permit the public resale of such Underlying Shares in such
states of the United States as
8
11
the holders thereof shall reasonably request. All costs and expenses of such
registration shall be borne by the Company.
4.2. Furnishing of Information. As long as the Purchaser owns Debentures
or Underlying Shares, the Company will promptly furnish to it all annual and
quarterly reports comparable to those required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act.
4.3. Notice of Certain Events. The Company shall (i) advise the Purchaser
promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, and, if requested by the Purchaser,
confirm such advice in writing, of (A) the issuance by any state securities
commission of any stop order suspending the qualification or exemption from
qualification of the Debentures or the Common Stock for offering or sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose by any state
securities commission or other regulatory authority, or (B) any event that makes
any statement of a material fact made in the Disclosure Materials untrue or that
requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Disclosure Materials
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they are made, not misleading, (ii) use its best efforts to prevent the
issuance of any stop order or order suspending the qualification or exemption
from qualification of the Debentures or the Common Stock under any state
securities or Blue Sky laws, and (iii) if at any time any state securities
commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the
qualification or exemption from qualification of the Debentures or the Common
Stock under any such laws, use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or
lifting of such order at the earliest possible time.
4.4. Copies and Use of Disclosure Materials. The Company shall furnish
the Purchaser, without charge, as many copies of the Disclosure Materials, and
any amendments or supplements thereto, as the Purchaser may reasonably request.
The Company consents to the use of the Disclosure Materials, and any amendments
and supplements thereto, by the Purchaser in connection with resales of the
Debentures or the Underlying Shares other than pursuant to an effective
registration statement.
4.5. Modification to Disclosure Materials. If any event shall occur as a
result of which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or the Purchaser, it
becomes necessary or advisable to amend or supplement the Disclosure Materials
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances at
the time the Disclosure Materials were delivered to the Purchaser, not
misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Disclosure
Materials to comply with applicable law, the Company shall promptly prepare an
appropriate amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Materials (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser) so that (i) as so amended or
supplemented the Disclosure Materials will not include an untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is
delivered to Purchaser, not misleading and (ii) the Disclosure Materials will
comply with applicable law.
9
12
4.6. Blue Sky Laws. The Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser in
connection with the qualification of the Debentures and the Underlying Shares
under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchaser may
request and to continue such qualification at all times through the third
anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that neither the Company nor
its Subsidiaries shall be required in connection therewith to qualify as a
foreign corporation where they are not now so qualified.
4.7. Integration. The Company shall not and shall use its best efforts
to ensure that no Affiliate shall sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy
or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of
the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Debentures or the Underlying Shares in a manner that would require the
registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Debentures or
Underlying Shares to the Purchaser.
4.8. Furnishing of Rule 144A Materials. The Company shall, for so long
as any of the Debentures or Underlying Shares remain outstanding and during any
period in which it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
make available to any registered holder of Debentures or Underlying Shares in
connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such
Debentures or Underlying Shares from such Person, the following information in
accordance with Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act: a brief statement of
the nature of the business of the Company and the products and services it

and retained earnings statements, and similar audited financial statements for
such part of the two preceding fiscal years as the Company has been in
operation.

offering materials in connection with the offering and sale of the Debentures or
Underlying Shares other than the Disclosure Materials and any amendments and
supplements thereto prepared in compliance herewith or (ii) solicit any offer to
buy or sell the Debentures or Underlying Shares by means of any form of general
solicitation or advertising.
4.10. Right of First Refusal. The Company shall not directly or
indirectly, without the prior consent of the Purchaser, offer, sell, grant any
option to purchase, or otherwise dispose (or announce any offer, sale, grant or
any option to purchase or other disposition) of any of its or its Affiliates
equity or equity-equivalent securities (a "Subsequent Sale") for a period of 90
days after Closing Date, except (i) the granting of options to employees,
officers and directors under, and the issuance of shares upon exercise of
options granted under, any stock option plan heretofore or hereinafter adopted
by the Company; (ii) shares issued upon exercise of any currently outstanding
warrants and upon conversion of any currently outstanding convertible preferred
stock disclosed in Schedule 3.1 and (iii) shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of Debentures in accordance herewith, unless (A) the Company provides
the Purchaser a written notice (the "Subsequent Financing Notice") of its
intention to effect such Subsequent Financing, which Subsequent Financing Notice
shall describe in reasonable detail
10
13
the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing and the amount of proceeds
intended to be raised thereunder and (B) the Purchaser shall not have notified
the Company within forty-eight (48) hours of its receipt of the Subsequent
Financing Notice of its willingness to enter into good faith negotiations to
provide (or to cause its sole designee to provide) financing to the Company on
substantially the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the
Purchaser shall fail to notify the Company of its intention to enter into such
negotiations within such forty-eight (48) hour period, the Company may effect
the Subsequent Financing substantially upon the terms set forth in the
Subsequent Financing Notice; provided, that the Company shall provide the
Purchaser with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchaser shall
again have the right of first refusal set forth above in this paragraph (a), if

Subsequent Financing Notice within 30 days after the date of the initial
Subsequent Financing Notice.

shall cause the Subsidiaries not to, without the consent of the Purchaser, (i)
amend its Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents so as
to adversely affect any rights of the Purchaser; (ii) split, combine or
reclassify its outstanding capital stock; (iii) declare, authorize, set aside or
pay any dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common Stock; (iv)
redeem, repurchase or offer to repurchase or otherwise acquire shares of its
Common Stock; or (v) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the
foregoing.
4.11. Listing of Underlying Shares. The Company shall take all steps
necessary to cause the Underlying Shares to be approved for listing on the NASD
Electronic Bulletin Board (or other national securities exchange or market on
which the Common Stock is listed) no later than the first day after which
Debentures may be converted hereunder by the Purchaser, and shall provide to the
Purchaser evidence of such listing.

procedures with respect to the conversion of the Debentures, including the forms

17
20
incurred by reason of any breach of its obligations described in the foregoing
sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of
any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

EXHIBIT A
No. _____
US$ _____
4% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE DUE JANUARY 1, 2001
THIS DEBENTURE is one of a duly authorized issue of Debentures of
Universal Medical Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation having a principal place
of business at 00000 Xxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (the
"Company"), designated as its 4% Convertible Debentures, Due January 1, 2001
(the "Debentures"), in an aggregate principal amount of up to US$500,000.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to [ ], or registered
assigns (the "Holder"), the principal sum of ____________ Thousand Dollars
(US$______), on January 1, 2001 (the "Maturity Date") and to pay interest to the
Holder on the principal sum, at the rate of 4% per annum, payable quarterly, in
arrears on April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 of each year, (each, an
"Interest Payment Date"), commencing April 1, 1997. Interest shall accrue daily
commencing on the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 6) until payment in
full of the principal sum, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, has
been made or duly provided for. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year. Interest due and payable hereunder will be paid on each Interest
Payment Date to the person in whose name this Debenture is registered on the
records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of the Debentures
(the "Debenture Register") on the first business day prior to each the Interest
Payment Date; provided, however, that the Company's obligation to a transferee
of this Debenture arises only if such transfer, sale or other disposition is
made in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and of the Convertible
Debenture Purchase Agreement, dated as of December ______, 1996, as amended from
time to time (the "Purchase Agreement"), executed by the original Holder. Any
overdue principal and interest as provided herein shall bear interest at the
rate of 14% per annum. The principal of, and interest on, this Debenture are
payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time
of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the
address of the Holder last appearing on the Debenture Register. A transfer of
the right to receive principal and interest under this Debenture shall be
transferable only through an appropriate entry in the Debenture Register as
provided herein.
1. This Debenture is subject to the following additional provisions:
(a) The Debentures are issuable in denominations of One
Thousand Dollars (US$1000.00) and integral multiples of one thousand dollars
(US$1000.00) in excess thereof. The Debentures are exchangeable for an equal
aggregate principal amount of Debentures of different authorized denominations,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the
26
same but shall not be issuable in denominations of less than integral multiples
of One Thousand Dollars (US$1000.00). No services charge will be made for such
registration of transfer or exchange.
(b) If any interest or principal due hereunder is subject to
any withholding tax under the income tax or other applicable laws of the United
States, the Company will pay to the Holder, in addition to the payments
otherwise due hereunder, such additional amount as is necessary to provide that
the net amount actually received by the Holder (free and clear of any such
withholding tax, whether assessed against the Company or the Holder) will equal
the full amount the Holder would have received had such withholding tax not been
assessed.
2. Events of Default. "Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any
one of the following events (whatever the reason and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any
judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body):
(a) any default in the payment of the principal of or interest
on this Debenture as and when the same shall become due and payable either at
the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise;
(b) the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other
covenant, agreement or warranty contained in, or otherwise commit any breach of,
this Debenture, and such failure or breach shall not have been remedied within
30 days after the date on which notice of such failure or breach shall have been
given;
(c) the occurrence of any event or breach or default by the
Company under the Purchase Agreement;
(d) the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall commence a
voluntary case under the United States Bankruptcy Code as now or hereafter in
effect or any successor thereto (the "Bankruptcy Code"); or an involuntary case
is commenced against the Company under the Bankruptcy Code and the petition is
not controverted within 30 days, or is not dismissed within 60 days, after
commencement of the case; or a "custodian" (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code)
is appointed for, or takes charge of, all or any substantial part of the
property of the Company or the Company commences any other proceeding under any
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution,
insolvency or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction whether now or
hereafter in effect relating to the Company or there is commenced against the
Company any such proceeding which remains undismissed for a period of 60 days;
or the Company is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; or any order of relief or
other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered; or the Company
suffers any appointment of any custodian or the like for it or any substantial
part of its property which continues undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60
days; or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
the Company shall fail to pay, or shall state that it is unable to pay, or shall
be unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due; or the Company
2
27
shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition or
adjustment of its debts; or the Company shall by any act or failure to act
indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing; or
any corporate or other action is taken by the Company for the purpose of
effecting any of the foregoing;
(e) the Company shall default in any of its obligations under
any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued, or by
which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness of the Company in an
amount exceeding Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), whether such indebtedness now
exists or shall hereafter be created and such default shall result in such
indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on
which it would otherwise become due and payable;
(f) the Company shall have its Common Stock (as defined in
Section 6) delisted from the OTCBB or other national securities exchange or
market on which such Common Stock is listed for trading or suspended from
trading thereon, and shall not have its Common Stock relisted or have such
suspension lifted, as the case may be, within five days; or
(g) the Company shall be a party to any merger or consolidation
(irrespective of whether it is the survivor) or shall dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or more transactions, or shall redeem
more than a de minimis amount of its outstanding shares of Common Stock.
If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and in every such case, then
so long as such Event of Default shall then be continuing the Holder may, by
notice to the Company, declare the full principal amount of this Debenture,
together with all accrued but unpaid interest to the date of acceleration, to
be, whereupon the same shall become, immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
waived by the Company, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the
contrary, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace
period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other
remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded
and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder. No such
rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon.
3. Conversion.
(a) This Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at
the Conversion Ratio, at the option of the Holder in whole or in part at any
time after the Original Issue Date. Any conversion under this Section 3(a) shall
be of a minimum principal amount of $1000.00 of Debentures. The Holder shall
effect conversions by surrendering the Debentures (or such portions thereof) to
be converted to the Company, together with the form of conversion notice
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Holder Conversion Notice") in the manner set
forth in Section 3(i). Each Holder Conversion Notice shall specify the
principal amount of Debentures to be converted and the date on which such
conversion is to be effected (the "Holder
3
28
Conversion Date"). Subject to Section 3(c), each Holder Conversion Notice, once
given, shall be irrevocable. If the Holder is converting less than all of the
principal amount represented by the Debenture(s) tendered by the Holder with the
Holder Conversion Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new
Debenture for such principal amount as has not been converted.
(b) This Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at
the Conversion Ratio, at the option of the Company in whole or in part at the
Maturity Date; provided, however, that the Company is not permitted to deliver a
Company Conversion Notice (as defined below) within 10 days of issuing any press
release or other public statement relating to such conversion. The Company shall
effect such conversion by delivering to the Holder a written notice in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Company Conversion Notice"), which Company
Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. Each Company Conversion
Notice shall specify the principal amount of Debentures to be converted. Any
such conversion by the Company shall be subject to Section 4.13 of the Purchase
Agreement. The Company shall give such Company Conversion Notice in accordance
with Section 3(i) below at least two Trading Days before the Maturity Date (such
date is hereinafter referred to as the "Company Conversion Date). Any such
conversion shall be effected on a pro rata basis among all holders of
Debentures. Upon the conversion of the principal balance of the Debentures
pursuant to a Company Conversion Notice, the Holder shall surrender its
Debentures at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the
Debentures or Common Stock. If the Company is converting less than the aggregate
principal amount of all Debentures, the Company shall, upon conversion of such
Debentures subject to such Company Conversion Notice and receipt of the
Debentures surrendered for conversion, deliver to the Holder, and each other
such holder of Debentures full payment in immediately available funds of the
principal balance of and accrued interest on the portion of the Debentures that
have not been converted. Each of a Holder Conversion Notice and a Company
Conversion Notice is sometimes referred to herein as a "Conversion Notice," and
each of a "Holder Conversion Date" and a "Company Conversion Date" is sometimes
referred to herein as a "Conversion Date."
(c) Not later than three Trading Days after the Conversion Date, the
Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates which shall
be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those then
required by law), representing the number of shares of Common Stock being
acquired upon the conversion of Debentures and (ii) Debentures in principal
amount equal to the principal amount of Debentures not converted; provided,
however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Debentures, until
Debentures are either delivered for conversion to the Company or any transfer
agent for the Debentures or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company
that such Debentures have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a bond (or
other adequate security reasonably acceptable to the Company) satisfactory to
the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection
therewith. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts
to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the
Company under this Section 3(c) electronically through the Depository Trust
Corporation or another established
4
29
clearing corporation performing similar functions. In the case of a conversion
pursuant to a Holder Conversion Notice, if such certificate or certificates are
not delivered by the date required under this Section 3(c), the Holder shall be
entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt
of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in
which event the Company shall immediately return the Debentures tendered for
conversion.
(d)(i) The Conversion Price for each Debenture in effect on any
Conversion Date shall be the LESSER of X OR Y: where X is the GREATER of (a)[$
F] or (b)[ C ] / [ ( { C / F }+3.00 ) / 2 ] (where C = the average Per Share
Market Value for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion
Date and F = the Per Share Market Value on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the Original issue Date); and Y = 70% of the average Per Share Market Value for
the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date.
(ii) If the Company, at any time while any Debentures are outstanding,
(a) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions
on shares of its Junior Securities payable in shares of its capital stock
(whether payable in shares of its Common Stock or of capital stock of any
class), (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares, (c) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of
capital stock of the Company, the Conversion Price designated in Section
3(d)(i) shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section
3(d)(ii) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(iii) If the Company, at any time while any Debentures are outstanding,
shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than
the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock at the record date mentioned below,
the Conversion Price designated in Section 3(d)(i) shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the date of issuance of such
rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered
for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the
date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the
aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase
at such Per Share Market Value. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights or warrants. However, upon the expiration of any right or warrant to
purchase Common Stock the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the
Initial Conversion Price designated in Section 3(d)(i) pursuant to this Section
3(d)(iii), if any such right or warrant shall expire and shall not have
5
30
been exercised, the Conversion Price designated in Section 3(d)(i) shall
immediately upon such expiration be recomputed and effective immediately upon
such expiration be increased to the price which it would have been (but
reflecting any other adjustments in the Initial Conversion Price made pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 5 after the issuance of such rights or
warrants) had the adjustment of the Initial Conversion Price made upon the
issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of offering for
subscription or purchase only that number of shares of Common Stock actually
purchased upon the exercise of such rights or warrants actually exercised.
(iv) If the Company, at any time while Debentures are outstanding, shall
distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders of Debentures)
evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in Section 3(d)(iii)
above) then in each such case the Conversion Price at which each Debenture shall
thereafter be convertible shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the
denominator shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock determined as of
the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Per
Share Market Value of the Common Stock on such record date less the then fair
market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of
indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock
as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however that in
the event of a distribution exceeding ten percent (10%) of the net assets of the
Company, such fair market value shall be determined by a nationally recognized
or major regional investment banking firm or firm of independent certified
public accountants of recognized standing (which may be the firm that regularly
examines the financial statements of the Company) (an "Appraiser") selected in
good faith by the holders of a majority of the principal amount of the
Debentures then outstanding; and provided, further that the Company, after
receipt of the determination by such Appraiser shall have the right to select an
additional Appraiser, in which case the fair market value shall be equal to the
average of the determinations by each such Appraiser. In either case the
adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder and all
other holders of Debentures of the portion of assets or evidences of
indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share
of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is
made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned
above.
(v) All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest
cent or the nearest 1/l00th of a share, as the case may be.
(vi) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section
3(d)(ii),(iii) or (iv), the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder and to
each other holder of Debentures, a notice setting forth the Conversion Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment.

31
(vii) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person, the sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any
compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into
other securities, cash or property, then each holder of Debentures then
outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such Debentures only into
the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed
to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, and the Holder shall be
entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the
shares of the Common Stock into which such Debentures could have been converted
immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange would have been entitled. The terms of any such
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall include such terms
so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities or
property set forth in this Section 5(d)(vii) upon any conversion following such
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. This provision shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales,
transfers or share exchanges.
(viii) If:
(A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution) on its Common Stock; or
(B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring
cash dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or
(C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all
holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; or
(D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company
shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock of
the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock), any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party,
any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into
other securities, cash or property; or
(E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the affairs of the
Company;
then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for
the purpose of conversion of Debentures, and shall cause to be mailed to the
Holder and each other holder of Debentures at their last addresses as it shall
appear upon the Debenture Register, at least 30 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x)
the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
7
32
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken,
the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to
such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of
Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up; provided, however, that the failure to
mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such
notice.
If at any time conditions shall arise by reason of action taken by the
Company which in the opinion of the Board of Directors are not adequately
covered by the other provisions hereof and which might materially and adversely
affect the rights of the Holder and all other holders of Debentures (different
than or distinguished from the effect generally on rights of holders of any
class of the Company's capital stock) or if at any time any such conditions are
expected to arise by reason of any action contemplated by the Company, the
Company shall, at least 30 calendar days prior to the effective date of such
action, mail a written notice to each holder of Debentures briefly describing
the action contemplated and the material adverse effects of such action on the
rights of such holders and an Appraiser selected by the holders of majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Debentures shall give its opinion as to the
adjustment, if any (not inconsistent with the standards established in this
Section 5), of the Conversion Price (including, if necessary, any adjustment as
to the securities into which Debentures may thereafter be convertible) and any
distribution which is or would be required to preserve without diluting the
rights of the holders of Debentures; provided, however, that the Company, after
receipt of the determination by such Appraiser, shall have the right to select
an additional Appraiser, in which case the adjustment shall be equal to the
average of the adjustments recommended by each such Appraiser. The Board of
Directors shall make the adjustment recommended forthwith upon the receipt of
such opinion or opinions or the taking of any such action contemplated, as the
case may be; provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price
shall be made which in the opinion of the Appraiser(s) giving the aforesaid
opinion or opinions would result in an increase of the Conversion Price to more
than the Conversion Price then in effect.
(e) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose
of issuance upon conversion of Debentures as herein provided, free from
preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the holders of Debentures, such number of shares of Common Stock as
shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of
Section 3(b) and Section 3(d) hereof) upon the conversion of the aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding Debentures. The Company covenants that all
shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and
validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
8
33
(f) Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to
issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but
may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction
of a share based on the Per Share Market Value at such time. If the Company
elects not to, or is unable to, make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be
entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share
of Common Stock.
(g) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion
of Debentures shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary
stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery
of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of
the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(h) Debentures converted into Common Stock shall be canceled.
(i) Each Holder Conversion Notice shall be given by facsimile and by
mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company
at the facsimile telephone number and address of the principal place of business
of the Company. Each Company Conversion Notice shall be given by facsimile and
by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each holder of Debentures at the
facsimile telephone number and address of such holder appearing on the books of
the Company or provided to the Company by such holder for the purpose of such
Company Conversion Notice, or if no such facsimile telephone number or address
appears or is so provided, at the principal place of business of the holder. Any
such notice shall be deemed given and effective upon the earliest to occur of
(i) receipt of such facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in
this Section 5(j), (ii) five days after deposit in the United States mails or
(iii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be

monies which may be owed it for its services hereunder, including, but not

dispute with respect to the Consideration. The parties understand that the
Escrow Agent has acted and will continue to act as counsel to GEM.
(i) The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the

December ____, 1996
[Name and Address of Purchaser]
RE: UNIVERSAL MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. CONVERTIBLE
DEBENTURES
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 5.1 of the
Convertible Debenture Purchase Agreement, dated as of December _____, 1996 (the
"Purchase Agreement"), by and between Universal Medical Systems, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to which the Company is issuing
Convertible Debentures (the "Debentures") in the aggregate principal amount of
up to $500,000 which are convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company
at the conversion ratio set forth in the Debentures. Capitalized terms used and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Purchase
Agreement.
I am the Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of the Company. I
have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of
the Debentures. I am familiar with the business and corporate proceedings of the
Company.
In connection with this opinion, I have examined:
1. The Purchase Agreement;
2. The Debentures;
3. The Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, as
amended to the date hereof;
4. Records of proceedings and actions of the Board of Directors of
the Company relating to the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement.
I have also investigated such questions of law, including, without limitation,

instruments as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of
rendering this opinion.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation, duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of Nevada, with the requisite corporate
power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its
business as currently conducted.
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder.
3. The execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement by the
Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have
been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company. The
Purchase Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and
constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against
the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.
4. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the
Company and each subsidiary thereof are as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
No shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the
"Common Stock"), are entitled to preemptive or similar rights. Except as
disclosed in the Purchase Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants,
script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever
relating to, or, except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Debentures
under the Purchase Agreement, securities, rights or obligations convertible into
or exchangeable for, or giving any person any right to subscribe for or acquire
any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings, or
arrangements by which the Company or any subsidiary thereof is or may become
bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights
convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock.

5. The Debentures have been duly authorized, and when paid for in
accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, shall be validly issued and
shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in
accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors'
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
6. When issued in accordance with the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, the shares of Common Stock into which the Debentures are convertible
in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
7. The Company is an "eligible issuer" as such term is defined
pursuant to Rule 504(a) in that the Company is not (1) a reporting company, (2)
an investment company (whether or not registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, or (3) a development stage company with no specific business plan
or purpose.
8. The total sale of the Debentures will not exceed $500,000 and the
Company has not issued any securities within the last twelve (12) calendar
months pursuant to Regulation D.
9. When the Debentures are converted into shares of common stock by
the holders of the Debentures, pursuant to Rule 504 such shares will be free
trading in nature and may be freely or otherwise transferred without any
restrictions by nonaffiliates of the Company.
10. The execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement
by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any
provision of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (ii) conflict with,
require the consent of any party to, or constitute a default (or an event which
with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to
others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of,
any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party, or to
our knowledge result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental
authority to which the Company is subject
