years after the date of the Last Closing, maintain as its independent auditors
an accounting firm authorized to practice before the SEC.

Last Closing or (ii) the conversion or redemption of all of the Preferred Stock
purchased pursuant to this Agreement, including Preferred Stock issued upon
exercise of the Preferred Warrants, and the exercise of the Conversion Warrants,
maintain its corporate existence in good standing (provided, however, that the
foregoing covenant shall not prevent the Company from entering into any merger
or corporate reorganization as long as the surviving entity in such transaction,
if not the Company, assumes the Company's obligations with respect to the
Preferred Stock and has Common Stock listed for trading on a stock exchange or
on Nasdaq and is a "Reporting Issuer") and shall pay all its taxes when due
except for taxes which the Company disputes.
5.3 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company will enter into a registration
rights agreement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares substantially in the forth of the Registration Rights Agreement attached

5.4 NOTIFICATION OF FINAL CLOSING DATE BY COMPANY. Within five (5)
business days after the Last Closing, the Company shall notify Subscriber in
writing that the Last Closing has occurred, the date of the Last Closing, the
dates that Subscriber is entitled to convert Subscriber's Preferred Stock, the
value of the Fixed Conversion Price, as that term is defined in the Certificate
of Designation, and the name and telephone number of an administrative contact

"Registration Statement") on Form S-l (or other suitable form, at the Company's
discretion but subject to the reasonable approval of Subscribers) with the SEC,
covering the resale of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares issuable to all
Subscribers in this Offering. The Company shall, within ten ( 10) days of the
filing of the Registration Statement, send a copy of the Registration Statement
to Subscribers. Such Registration Statement shall initially cover a number of
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares equal to at least one million five hundred
thousand (1,500,000) shares of Common Stock, allocated and reserved pro rata
among the Subscribers, and shall cover, to the extent allowable by applicable
law, such additional indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock as are

Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of the Preferred Warrants, and the full
exercise of the Conversion Warrants, due to fluctuations in the price of the
Company's Common Stock. The Company shall use its best efforts to have the
Registration Statement declared effective as soon as possible. In the event that
the Company determines or is notified by a Holder that the Registration
Statement does not cover a
11
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to effect conversion of all
outstanding Preferred Stock then eligible for conversion, including the
Preferred Stock issued upon the exercise of the Preferred Warrants, and exercise

business days, amend the Registration Statement or file a new registration
statement to add such number of additional shares as would be necessary to
effect all such conversions of the Preferred Stock and exercises of the
Conversion Warrants. The rights of the holders of Common Stock and Warrant

set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. If the Registration Statement is
not declared effective within five (5) calendar months after the Last Closing or
if any new or amended registration statement required to be filed hereunder is
not declared effective within two (2) calendar months of the date it is required
to be filed, the Company shall pay Subscribers an amount equal to two percent
(2%) per month of the aggregate amount of Preferred Stock sold to Subscriber in
the Offering, compounded monthly and accruing daily until the Registration
Statement or a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3
of the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective (the "Late
Registration Payment"), payable, at each Subscriber's option, in either cash or
Common Stock. If Subscriber elects to be paid in cash, such Late Registration
Payments shall be paid to such Subscriber within five (5) business days
following the end of the month in which such Late Registration Payment was
accrued. If Subscriber elects to be paid in Common Stock, such number of shares
of Common Stock shall be determined as follows:
Upon conversion of each share of Preferred Stock, the Company shall issue
to Subscriber the number of shares of Common Stock determined as set forth
in Section 5(a) of the Certificate of Designation plus an additional number
of shares of Common Stock (the "Additional Shares") determined as set forth
below:
Additional Shares = Late Registration Payment
-------------------------
Conversion Price
where, "Conversion Price" has the definition ascribed to it in the
Certificate of Designation.
Such Additional Shares shall also be deemed "Registrable Securities" as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company covenants to use its
best efforts to remain eligible to use form S-1 for the registration required by
this Section 5.1 during all applicable times contemplated by this Agreement.
5.6 CAPITAL RAISING LIMITATIONS; RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL.
5.6.1 CAPITAL RAISING LIMITATIONS. For a period of one hundred
eighty (180) days following the date of Last Closing, the Company shall not
issue or agree to issue, except (i) as contemplated hereunder, (ii) pursuant to
an offering or offerings which, combined with this Offering, do not, in the
aggregate, exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000 U.S.), as further limited
below (a "Limited Offering"), (iii) pursuant to any employee stock purchase plan
or employee stock option plan of the Company in effect on June 10, 1997, and
disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, or (iv) pursuant to any security, option,
warrant, scrip, call or commitment or right disclosed in the Capitalization
Schedule, any equity securities of the Company (or any security convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable, directly or indirectly, for equity securities of
the Company) if such securities are issued at a price (or in the case of
securities which are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable, directly
or indirectly, for Common Stock, if such securities are convertible, exercisable
or exchangeable, as appropriate, at a conversion price, exercise price or
exchange price) less than the current market price for Common Stock on the date
of issuance (in the case of Common Stock) or the conversion, exercise or
exchange date (in the case of securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable, directly or indirectly, for Common Stock). In addition, during
such period, the Company shall not issue, or agree to issue, any debt securities
which are issued at a discount to the principal amount thereof. Notwithstanding
12
the above, a Limited Offering is further limited as follows: the terms of the
securities in a Limited Offering must be on the same or substantially similar
terms as the Series A Preferred Stock being issued in this Offering; including
but not limited to the requirement that the securities in a Limited Offering (a)
shall not be convertible into Common Stock at a discount of less than 85% of the
market price and (b) shall not be convertible into Common Stock prior to the
date that is six (6) months after the Last Closing of this Offering.
5.6.2 RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER. The Company agrees that, during the
period beginning on the date hereof and terminating on the first anniversary of
the date of the Last Closing, the Company will not, without the prior written
consent of each Subscriber (which shall be deemed given for the warrants to
purchase Common Stock issued or to be issued to the Placement Agent in
consideration of its services in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby) issue or sell, or agree to issue or sell any
equity or debt securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or any
security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable, directly or
indirectly, for equity or debt securities of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries) ("Future Offerings") unless the Company shall have first delivered
to each Subscriber at least thirty (30) business days prior to the closing of
such Future Offering, written notice describing the proposed Future Offering,
including the terms and conditions thereof, and providing each Subscriber and
its affiliates an option during the twenty (20) business day period following
delivery of such notice to purchase up to the full amount of the securities
being offered in the Future Offering on the same terms as contemplated by such
Future Offering (the limitations referred to in this sentence are collectively
referred to as the "Capital Raising Limitations"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Subscriber chooses not to participate in any Future Offerings,
then any debt or equity security issued as a result of the Future Offerings
which, combined with this Offering, in the aggregate, exceed five million
dollars ($5,000,00.0 U.S.), will be ineligible for sale and/or conversion, as
the case may be, until the date which is twelve (12) months after the Last
Closing. The Capital Raising Limitations shall not apply to any transaction
involving issuances of securities in connection with a merger, consolidation,
acquisition or sale of assets, or in connection with any strategic partnership
or joint venture (the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital),
or in connection with the disposition or acquisition of a business, product or
license by the Company or exercise of options by employees, consultants or
directors. The Capital Raising Limitations also shall not apply to (a) the
issuance of securities pursuant to an underwritten public offering, (b) the
issuance of securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company's options,
warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof or
(c) the grant of additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional
securities, under any Company stock option or restricted stock plan for the
benefit of the Company's employees, directors or consultants.
5.7 FINANCIAL 10-K STATEMENTS, ETC. AND CURRENT REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.

10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on form 8-K for as long
as the Preferred Stock may remain outstanding.
5.8 OPINION OF COUNSEL. Subscribers shall, upon purchase of the
Preferred Stock and accompanying Warrants pursuant to this Agreement, receive an
opinion letter from Xxxx X. Xxxxx, P.C. ("Counsel"), counsel to the Company, to
the effect that (i) the Company is duly incorporated and validly existing; (ii)
this Agreement, the issuance of the Preferred Stock at Closing, the issuance of
the Conversion Warrants, the issuance of the Preferred Warrants, the issuance of
the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the issuance of
the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Conversion Warrants and the issuance of
the Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, the irrevocable Instructions to Transfer
Agent and the Escrow Agreement are
13
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except as enforceability of the indemnification provisions may be
limited by principles of public policy, and subject to laws of general
application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and
rules of laws governing specific performance and other equitable remedies; and
(iv) based upon the representations and acknowledgments of Subscribers contained
in Sections 2 and 3 hereof, the Preferred Stock, the Conversion Warrants and the
Preferred Warrants have been, and the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares, and
the Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of the Preferred Warrants will be,
issued in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Act and applicable state securities laws; and (v) the Conversion Shares are
authorized for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board subject to notice of issuance.
5.9 REMOVAL OF LEGEND UPON CONVERSION. As contemplated by the
Certificate of Designation, upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, Subscriber
shall submit a Notice of Conversion and Resale, substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit N. The Legend shall be removed and the Company shall
issue a certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon which
it is stamped, and a certificate for a security shall be originally issued
without the Legend, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (a)
the sale of such Security is registered under the Act, or (b) such holder
provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope
customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions (the reasonable
cost of which shall be home by the Company), to the effect that a public sale or
transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Act, or (c)
such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Security
can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. Each Subscriber agrees to sell all Securities,
including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the Legend has been
removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend, pursuant to an
effective registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection with
such sale or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements
of the Act. In the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security
is issued without the Legend and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration
statement covering the resale of such Security is suspended or the Company
determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable
securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to Subscriber holding such
Security, the Company may require that the Legend be placed on any such Security
that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule
144 or with respect to which the opinion referred to in clause (b) next above
has not been rendered, which Legend shall be removed when such Security may be
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or such holder
provides the opinion with respect thereto described in clause (b) next above.
5.10 LISTING. Subject to the remainder of this Section 5.10, the
Company shall ensure that its shares of Common Stock (including all Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares) are listed and available for trading on the OTC
Bulletin Board. The Company shall promptly following the Last Closing use its
best efforts to satisfy the listing requirements of, and secure the listing of
the Common Stock (including, without limitation, the Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares) upon, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ"). Thereafter, the
Company shall (i) use its best efforts to continue the listing and trading of
its Common Stock on the NASDAQ, or on the Nasdaq National Market System ("NMS"),
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX");
(ii) take all action necessary to cause and maintain the listing and trading of
its Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board at any time the Common Stock is not
listed and traded on NASDAQ, NMS, NYSE or AMEX; and (iii) comply in all respects
with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under the by-laws or
rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and such
exchanges, as applicable.
5.11 THE COMPANY'S INSTRUCTIONS TO TRANSFER AGENT. The Company will
issue to its Transfer Agent the Irrevocable Instructions to Transfer Agent
substantially in the form of Exhibit H instructing the Transfer Agent to issue
certificates, registered in the name of each Subscriber or its nominee, for the
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in such amounts as
14
specified from time to time by such Subscriber to the Company upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock. Such certificates shall bear a Legend only to the extent
permitted by Section 5.9 hereof. The Company warrants that no instruction, other
than such instructions referred to in Section 5.9 hereof or in this Section 5.11
and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 3.7 hereof in the case
of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares prior to registration of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares under the Act, will be given by the Company to its
transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on
the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall
affect in any way each Subscriber's obligations and agreement set forth in
Section 5.10 hereof to resell the Securities pursuant to an effective
registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale
or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of
applicable securities laws. If (a) a Subscriber provides the Company with an
opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and
scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions (the
reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company), to the effect that the
Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an
exemption from registration or (b) a Subscriber transfers Securities to an
affiliate which is an accredited investor pursuant to Rule 144, the Company
shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates
in such name and in such denomination as specified by such Subscriber. The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to a Subscriber by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5.1 I will be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section 5.1 1, that a Subscriber shall be
entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required. The Company hereby agrees that it will not unilaterally
terminate its relationship with the Transfer Agent for any reason prior to the
date which is three (3) years after the Last Closing or one (1) month after the
first date that no Preferred Stock and no Warrants are outstanding, whichever is
earlier (the "Ending Date"). In the event the Company's agency relationship with
the Transfer Agent should be terminated for any other reason prior to the date
which is three (3) years after the Last Closing, the Company's Transfer Agent
shall continue acting as transfer agent pursuant to the terms of the Irrevocable
Instructions to Transfer Agent until such time that a successor transfer agent
(i) is appointed by the Company; (ii) is approved by seventy-five percent (75%)
of the Subscribers of outstanding Preferred Stock; and (iii) executes and agrees
to be bound by the terms of the Irrevocable instructions to Transfer Agent.

each person who controls Subscriber or the Placement Agent within the meaning of
the Act or the Exchange Act (each, a "Subscriber Indemnified Party") against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which it, they or
any of them, may become subject and not otherwise reimbursed arising from or due
to any untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state any material
fact required to be stated in order to make the statements not misleading in any
representation or warranty made by the Company contained in this Agreement or in
any statements contained in the Disclosure Documents.
Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Company and the Placement
Agent and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents, and each
person who controls Company or the Placement Agent within the meaning of the Act
or the Exchange Act (each, a "Company Indemnified Party") (a Subscriber
Indemnified Party or a Company Indemnified Party may be hereinafter referred to
singularly as "Indemnified Party") against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which it, they or any of them, may become
subject and not otherwise reimbursed arising from or due to any untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission to state any material fact required to be
stated in order to make the statements not misleading in any representation or
warranty made by Subscriber contained in this Agreement.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement
of any action pursuant to which indemnification may be sought, such Indemnified
Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the other party
(hereinafter "Indemnitor") under this Section 8, deliver to the Indemnitor a
written notice of the commencement thereof and the Indemnitor shall have the
right to participate in and to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably selected by the Indemnitor, provided, however, that an Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonably
incurred fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Indemnitor, if
representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the
Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of
interest between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
Indemnitor within a reasonable time of the corornencement of any such action, if
prejudicial to the Indemnitor's ability to defend such action, shall relieve the
Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 8, but
the omission to so deliver written notice to the Indemnitor will not relieve it
of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party other than under this
Section 8 to the extent it is prejudicial.

Title: __________________
MEDCARE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
SIGNIFICANT RISKS
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; HISTORY OF LOSSES
Since inception, MedCare Technologies has primarily been engaged in the research
and development of its treatment program for bladder and bowel incontinence.
While there is ample evidence that significant demand exists for a treatment
program such as MedCare's, there is no guarantee that MedCare will be successful
in achieving its operation goals or successful in gaining wide acceptance among
physicians or sufferers. As a result, the Company may continue to suffer losses
from operations in the future.
RELIANCE ON SKILLED AND KEY PERSONNEL
As a part of its expansion plans, the company plans to expend substantial
funds for recruiting and training highly skilled personnel, purchasing medical
equipment and for advertising and marketing. There can be no assurances that
these highly skilled individuals, such as registered nurses or nurse
practitioners, will be readily available and slower than anticipated sales
growth may adversely affect the company's ability to continue funding its
expansion program. The Company is also dependent upon a number of key management
personnel. The loss of the services of one or more key individuals would have a
material adverse effect on the Company. The Company's success will also depend
on its ability to attract and retain other highly qualified scientific and
management personnel. The company faces competition for such personnel and there
can be no assurance that the company will be able to attract or retain such
personnel.
PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY TREATMENT PROGRAM
The Company's ability to compete and expand effectively will depend, in
part, on its ability to develop and maintain proprietary aspects of its
treatment program for bladder and bowel incontinence. The Company relies on an
unpatented proprietary treatment protocol and there can be no assurances that
others will not independently develop substantially equivalent or superseding
proprietary protocols, or that an equivalent program will not be marketed in
competition with the company's program, thereby substantially reducing the value
of the Company's proprietary treatment program. There can be no assurance that
any confidentiality agreements between the company and its employees will
provide meaningful protection for the Company's trade secrets, know-how or other
proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of
such trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information.
UNCERTAINTY RELATING TO THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT
In the United States and in certain foreign countries, third-party
reimbursement is currently generally available for certain procedures, such as
surgery and biofeedback training by EMG application and generally unavailable
for patient management products such as diapers, pads, and urethral plugs. While
the Company's treatment program is currently covered by the third party payers,
there can be no assurances that such coverage will remain in effect in the
future.
