1. SUBSCRIPTION.
(a) The undersigned hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to
purchase $________ of the Company's Debentures. The Debentures shall pay
interest in cash or in freely trading Common Stock of the Company, at the
Company's option, at the time of each conversion. Interest shall be as follows:
3% per each 30-day period, on a pro rata basis, for the first ninety (90) days
following the Closing; 3 1/2 % for each 30-day period, on a pro rata basis,
beginning from the ninety-first (91st) day after the Closing and ending on the
one hundred and twentieth (120th) day following the Closing Date; and 4% per
each 30-day period, on a pro rata basis, beginning from the one hundred and
twenty-first (121st) day following the Closing.
If paid in Common Stock, the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock to
be received shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the interest by
the then applicable Market Price, as of the interest payment date. "Market
Price" shall mean 82% of the 10-day average closing bid price, as reported by
Bloomberg, LP, for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding
the date of conversion (the "Conversion Price"). If the interest is to be paid
in cash, the Company shall make such payment within 5 business days of the date
of conversion. If the interest is to be paid in Common Stock, said Common Stock
shall be delivered to the Purchaser, or per Purchaser's instructions, within 5
business days of the date of conversion. The Debentures are subject to automatic
conversion at the end of two years from the date of issuance at which time all
Debentures outstanding will be automatically converted based upon the formula
set forth in Section 4(d). The closing shall be deemed to have occurred on the
date the funds are received by the Company or its designated attorney (the
"Closing Date").
(b) Upon receipt by the Company of the requisite payment for the
Debentures being purchased the Debentures so purchased will be forwarded by the
Escrow Agent, Xxxxxx X. XxXxxxx, to the Purchaser and the name of such Purchaser
will be registered on the Debenture transfer books of the Company as the record
owner of such Debentures. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken or omitted by him in good faith and in no event shall the Escrow Agent be
liable or responsible except for the Escrow Agent's own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent has made no representations or warranties
in connection with this transaction and has not been involved in the negotiation
of the terms of this Agreement or any matters relative thereto. Seller and
Purchaser each agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and
with respect to any suits, claims, actions or liabilities arising in any way out
of this transaction including the obligation to defend any legal action brought
which in any way arises out of or is related to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent

transaction; nor is the Escrow Agent opining on the compliance of the proposed

(s) The Company hereby represents that it shall be paying
consultant a fee of $100,000 from the gross proceeds of this Offering, which
fee shall be paid out of escrow by the Escrow Agent
4. TERMS OF CONVERSION.
(a) Debentures. Upon receipt by the Company or its designated
attorney of a facsimile or original of Purchaser's signed Notice of Conversion
followed by receipt of the original Debenture to be converted in whole or in
part (within 5 business days as indicated in 4(b) below), the Company shall
instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more Certificates representing that
number of shares of Common Stock into which the Debenture is convertible in
accordance with the provisions regarding conversion set forth in Exhibit D
hereto. The Seller's transfer agent or attorney shall act as Registrar and shall
maintain an appropriate ledger containing the necessary information with respect
to each Debenture.
(b) Conversion Procedures. The face amount of each Debenture
may be converted anytime following the Closing Date. Such conversion shall be
effectuated by surrendering to the Company, or its attorney, the Debentures to
be converted together with a facsimile or original of the signed Notice of
Conversion which evidences Purchaser's intention to convert those Debentures
indicated. The date on which the Notice of Conversion is effective ("Conversion
Date") shall be deemed to be the date on which the Purchaser has delivered to
the Company a facsimile or original of the signed Notice of Conversion, as long
as the original Debentures to be converted are received by the Company or its
designated attorney within 5 business days thereafter. Unless otherwise notified
by the Company in writing via facsimile, the Company's designated attorney is
Xxxx X. Xxxxx, Esq., 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 (P) 000-000-0000 (f)
000-000-0000.
(c) Common Stock to be Issued. Upon the conversion of any
Debentures and upon receipt by the Company or its designated attorney of a
facsimile or original of Purchaser's signed Notice of Conversion (see Exhibit D)
Seller shall instruct Seller's transfer agent to issue Stock Certificates
without restrictive legend or stop transfer instructions, if at that time the
Registration Statement has been deemed effective (or with proper restrictive
legend if the Registration Statement has not as yet been declared effective), in
the name of Purchaser (or its nominee) and in such denominations to be specified
at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion, as applicable. Seller warrants that no instructions, other than
these instructions, have been given or will be given to the transfer agent and
that the Common Stock shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and
records of Seller, except as may be set forth herein.
(d) (i) Conversion Rate. Purchaser is entitled, at its
option, to convert the face amount of each Debenture, plus accrued interest,
anytime following the Closing Date at 82% of the 10 day average closing bid
price, as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the 10 consecutive trading
days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date (the "Conversion
Price"). The date on which the Notice of Conversion is effective ("Conversion
Date") shall be deemed to be the date on which the Purchaser has delivered to
the Company a facsimile or original of the signed Notice of Conversion, as long
as the original Debentures to be converted are received by the Company or its
designated attorney within 5 business days thereafter. No fractional shares or
scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the
number of shares issuable shall be rounded up or down, as the case may be, to
the nearest whole share.
(ii) Most Favored Financing. If after the Closing Date, but
prior to the Purchaser's conversion of all the Debentures, the Company raises
money under either Regulation D or Regulation S on terms that are more favorable
than those terms set forth in this Subscription Agreement, then in such event,
the Purchaser at its sole option shall be entitled to completely replace the
terms of this Subscription Agreement with the terms of the more beneficial
Subscription Agreement as to that balance, including accrued interest and any
accumulated liquidated damages, remaining on Purchaser's original investment.
The Debentures are subject to a mandatory, 24 month conversion feature at the
end of which all Debentures outstanding will be automatically converted, upon
the terms set forth in this section ("Mandatory Conversion Date").
(e) Nothing contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be
deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to the Purchaser at a
rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by governing law. In the event that
the rate of interest required to be paid exceeds the maximum rate permitted by
governing law, the rate of interest required to be paid thereunder shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted under the governing law and
such excess shall be returned with reasonable promptness by the Purchaser to the
Company.
(f) It shall be the Company's responsibility to take all
necessary actions and to bear all such costs to issue the Certificate of Common
Stock as provided herein, including the responsibility and cost for delivery of
an opinion letter to the transfer agent, if so required. The person in whose
name the certificate of Common Stock is to be registered shall be treated as a
shareholder of record on and after the conversion date. Upon surrender of any
Debentures that are to be converted in part, the Company shall issue to the
Purchaser a new Debenture equal to the unconverted amount, if so requested in
writing by Purchaser.
(g) Within five (5) business days after receipt of the
documentation referred to above in Section 4(b), the Company shall deliver a
certificate in accordance with Section 4(c) for the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion. It shall be the Company's responsibility to
take all necessary actions and to bear all such costs to issue the Common Stock
as provided herein, including the cost for delivery of an opinion letter to the
transfer agent, if so required. The person in whose name the certificate of
Common Stock is to be registered shall be treated as a shareholder of record on
and after the conversion date. Upon surrender of any Debentures that are to be
converted in part, the Company shall issue to the Purchaser a new Debenture
equal to the unconverted amount, if so requested in writing by Purchaser.
In the event the Company does not make delivery of the Common Stock, as
instructed by Purchaser, within 8 business days after delivery of the original
Debenture, then in such event the Company shall pay to Purchaser an amount, in
cash in accordance with the following schedule, wherein "No. Business Days Late"
is defined as the number of business days beyond the 8 business days delivery
period.

5 $500

7 $700

9 $900
10 $1,000
>10 $1,000 + $200 for each
Business Day Beyond 10
The Company acknowledges that its failure to deliver the Common Stock
within 8 business days after the Conversion Date will cause the Purchaser to
suffer damages in an amount that will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly,
the parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Agreement a
provision for liquidated damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that the
liquidated damages provision set forth in this section represents the parties'
good faith effort to qualify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and
amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not constitute a
penalty. The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from
its obligations to deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.
To the extent that the failure of the Company to issue the Common Stock
pursuant to this Section 4(g) is due to the unavailability of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, the provisions of this
Section 4(g) shall not apply but instead the provisions of Section 4(h)
shall apply. The Company shall make any payments incurred under this
Section 4(g) in immediately available funds within five (5) business
days from the Conversion Date if late. Nothing herein shall limit a
Purchaser's right to pursue actual damages or cancel the conversion for
the Company's failure to
issue and deliver Common Stock to the Holder within 8 business days after the
Conversion Date.
(h) The Company shall at all times reserve (or make
alternative written arrangements for reservation or contribution of shares or
stockholder approval to authorize additional shares as described in the proxy
statement for the August 31, 1998, meeting) and have available all Common Stock
necessary to meet conversion of the Debentures by all Purchasers of the entire
amount of Debentures then outstanding. If, at any time Purchaser submits a
Notice of Conversion and the Company does not have sufficient authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock (or alternative shares of Common Stock as may be
contributed by stockholders) available to effect, in full, a conversion of the
Debentures (a "Conversion Default", the date of such default being referred to
herein as the "Conversion Default Date"), the Company shall issue to the
Purchaser all of the shares of Common Stock which are available, and the Notice
of Conversion as to any Debentures requested to be converted but not converted
(the "Unconverted Debentures"), upon Purchaser's sole option, may be deemed null
and void. The Company shall provide notice of such Conversion Default ("Notice
of Conversion Default") to all existing Purchasers of outstanding Debentures, by
facsimile, within three (3) business day of such default (with the original
delivered by overnight or two day courier), and the Purchaser shall give notice
to the Company by facsimile within five business days of receipt of the original
Notice of Conversion Default (with the original delivered by overnight or two
day courier) of its election to either nullify or confirm the Notice of
Conversion.
The Company agrees to pay to all Purchasers of outstanding Debentures
payments for a Conversion Default ("Conversion Default Payments") in the amount
of (N/365) x (.24) x the initial issuance price of the outstanding and/or
tendered but not converted Debentures held by each Purchaser where N = the
number of days from the Conversion Default Date to the date (the "Authorization
Date") that the Company authorizes a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
to effect conversion of all remaining Debentures. The Company shall send notice
("Authorization Notice") to each Purchaser of outstanding Debentures that
additional shares of Common Stock have been authorized, the Authorization Date
and the amount of Purchaser's accrued Conversion Default Payments. The accrued
Conversion Default shall be paid in cash or shall be convertible into Common
Stock at the Conversion Rate, at the Purchaser's option, payable as follows: (i)
in the event Purchaser elects to take such payment in cash, cash payments shall
be made to such Purchaser of outstanding Debentures by the fifth day of the
following calendar month, or (ii) in the event Purchaser elects to take such
payment in stock, the Purchaser may convert such payment amount into Common
Stock at the conversion rate set forth in section 4(d) at anytime after the 5th
day of the calendar month following the month in which the Authorization Notice
was received, until the expiration of the mandatory 24 month conversion period.
The Company acknowledges that its failure to maintain a sufficient
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to effect in full a
conversion of the Debentures will cause the Purchaser to suffer damages in an
amount that will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that
it is appropriate to include in this Agreement a provision for liquidated
damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision
set forth in this section represents the parties' good faith effort to quantify
such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated
damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty. The payment of
liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to deliver
the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall
limit the Purchaser's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure
to maintain a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock.
(i) Right of First Refusal: The Purchaser is granted
the Right of First Refusal on any subsequent financing the Company may seek
during the next twelve months.
(j) Redemption: Company reserves the right, at its sole
option, to call a mandatory redemption of any percentage of the balance on the
Debentures during the two year period following the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to and
herewith agrees to and shall apply at least 20% of the gross profits from the
sale of ddR Multi-Systems for the redemption of the Debentures. The Company will
continue to do so until such time that the Debentures or any unconverted portion
of the Debentures has been fully redeemed. Redemption payments would be applied
to the outstanding balance in the following manner: for example should the
company wish to redeem a portion after the first 30-day period they would owe 3%
x $1,000,000 = $30,000 plus some portion of the $1,000,000 principle, say
$100,000. This would mean that if the company paid $130,000 on the 30th day they
would still owe $900,000 on the 31st day.
The redemption terms shall be based on the interest
rate applicable to the Debentures as follows: 3% per each 30-day period, on a
pro rata basis, for the first ninety (90) days following closing; 3 1/2 % for
each 30-day period, on a pro rata basis, beginning from the
ninety-first (91st) day after closing and ending on the one hundred and
twentieth (120th) day following closing; and 4% per each 30-day period, on a pro
rata basis, beginning from the one hundred and twenty-first (121st) day
following the closing.
The date by which the Debentures must be delivered to the Escrow Agent
shall not be later than 5 business days following the date the Company notifies
the Purchaser by facsimile of the redemption. The Company shall give the
Purchaser at least 5 business day's notice of its intent to redeem.
(k) The Company shall furnish to Purchaser such number of
prospectuses and other documents incidental to the registration of the shares of
Common Stock underlying the Debentures, including any amendment of or
supplements thereto.
5. LIMITS ON AMOUNT OF CONVERSION AND OWNERSHIP.
Notwithstanding the provisions hereof or of the Debenture(s), in no
event except (i) with respect to a conversion pursuant to redemption by the
Company or (ii) if there is (a) a public announcement that 50% or more of the
Company is being acquired, (b) a public announcement that the Company is being
merged, or (c) a public announcement that there is a change in control, shall
the Purchaser be entitled to convert any Debentures to the extent that, after
such conversion, the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Purchaser and its affiliates (other than shares of
Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the
unconverted portion of the Debentures), and (2) the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures with respect to which the
determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial
ownership by the Purchaser and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (after taking into account the shares to be
issued to the Purchaser upon such conversion). For purposes of the proviso to
the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act"), except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso.
The Purchaser further agrees that if the Purchaser transfers or assigns any of
the Debentures to a party who or which would not be considered such an
affiliate, such assignment shall be made subject to the transferee's or
assignee's specific agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Section as
if such transferee or assignee were a signatory to the Subscription Agreement.
6. DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS.
Prior to or on the Closing Date the Company shall deliver to the Escrow
Agent an opinion letter signed by counsel for the Company in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit E. Also, prior to or on the Closing Date the Company shall
deliver to the Escrow Agent a signed Registration Rights Agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Debentures being purchased hereunder shall be
delivered to Xxxxxx X. XxXxxxx, Esq. as Escrow Agent, who will hold them in
escrow until funds have been wired to the Company or its Counsel at which time
the Escrow Agent shall then have the Debentures delivered to the Purchaser, per
the Purchaser's instructions.

Re: [Company]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to [Company], a corporation incorporated under

of all documents submitted to us as copies, (iii) that each of the Agreements
has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the party or
parties thereto other than the Company, and (iv) that each of the Agreements
constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the party or parties thereto
other than the Company, enforceable against such party or parties in accordance
with the Agreements' terms.
Based upon the subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of __________, is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in all

requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its
business.

affecting creditors rights generally, and except as to compliance with federal,
