questions of officers of AMDL regarding its business
prospects and the Shares, all as such Purchaser of such

securities laws and that the Shares are being
offered and sold pursuant to Section 4(1)
exemption from registration under the Securities
Act, and that the Seller's reliance upon the
Section 4(1) exemption from registration is
predicted in part on such Purchaser's
representations as contained herein. Each
Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares will be
"restricted securities" as defined by Rule 144

effective registration thereof under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws unless an applicable exemption from
registration is available.

for sale in connection with, a distribution, as

Securities Act, in a manner which would require
registration under the Securities Act or any
state securities laws.
(iii) Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that

JURISDICTION OR ANY OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE
CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER
SUCH ACT OR ACTS.
(iv) Each Purchaser acknowledges that an investment
in the Shares is not liquid and is transferable
only under limited conditions. Each Purchaser
acknowledges that such securities must be held
indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available.
Each Purchaser is aware of the provisions of
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act,
which permits limited resale of restricted
securities subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions and that such Rule is not now
available and, in the future, may not become
available for resale of any of the Shares.
(v) Each Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as
defined under Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
(d) Purchaser Sophistication and Ability to Bear Risk of
Loss. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to
protect its interests in connection with the acquisition
of the Shares and can bear the economic risk of
investment in the Shares without producing a material
adverse change in such Purchaser's financial condition.
Each Purchaser otherwise has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that such
Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of the investment in the Shares.

and covenants that it is not acquiring the Shares as
part of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended.

the Registrable Securities by the Holders from time to
time in accordance with the methods of distribution
described in the Shelf Registration Statement,
10
which shall be substantially as set forth on Schedule
7.1(a) attached hereto and made a part hereof.
(b) The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the Shelf

the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective
until April 15, 2002. The Company shall be deemed not to
have used its best efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement effective during the requisite
period if it voluntarily takes any action that would
result in Holders of Registrable Securities not being
able to offer and sell such securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement during that period, unless
such action is (i) required by applicable law or (ii)
pursuant to Section 7.1(c) hereof, and, in either case,
so long as the Company promptly thereafter complies with
the requirements of Section 7.2(i) hereof, if
applicable.
(c) The Company may suspend the use of the Shelf
Registration Statement for a period not to exceed 45
days in any 12 month period for valid business reasons

hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of
assets, public filings with the SEC, pending corporate
developments and similar events.

Registration Statement, the following shall apply:
(a) The Company shall ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration
Statement and any amendment thereto and any Prospectus
forming part thereof and any amendment or supplement
thereto complies in all material respects with the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder,
(ii) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment
thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, and (iii)
any Prospectus forming part of the Shelf Registration
Statement, and any amendment or supplement to such
Prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
11
(b) (1) The Company shall advise the Holders and, if
requested by such Holder, confirm such advice in
writing:
(i) when a Shelf Registration Statement and any

supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement
or the Prospectus included therein or for
additional information.
(2) The Company shall advise the Holders and, if
requested by any such Holder, confirm such advice in
writing:
(i) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement or the initiation of any
proceedings for that purpose;
(ii) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of
the qualification of the securities covered by
the Shelf Registration Statement for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of
any proceeding for such purpose; and
(iii) of the suspension of the use of the Prospectus
pursuant to Section 7.1(c) hereof or of the
happening of any event that requires the making
of any changes in the Shelf Registration
Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of such
date, the statements therein are not misleading
and do not omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading
(which advice shall be accompanied by an
instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus
until the requisite changes have been made).
(c) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement at the
earliest possible time.
(d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder, without
charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration
Statement in the form declared effective by the SEC and
any post-effective amendment thereto, including
financial statements and schedules (if incorporated by
reference), and, if the Holder so requests in writing,
all exhibits (including those incorporated therein by
reference).
(e) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period,
deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies
of the Prospectus (including each
12
preliminary Prospectus) included in such Shelf

Company consents to the use, in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement, of the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto by each of the Holders
of Registrable Securities in connection with the
offering and sale thereof.

to any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall
register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders
thereof and their respective counsel in connection with
the registration or qualification of such securities for
offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of
such jurisdictions in the United States as any such
Holders reasonably request in writing, and do any and
all other acts or things necessary or advisable to
enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the
Company will not be required to qualify generally to do
business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
qualified or to take any action which would subject it
to general service of process or to taxation in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
(g) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to as
promptly as practicable list the Registrable Securities
on each national securities exchange on which the Shares
are then listed, subject to official notice of issuance.
(h) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing the Registrable Securities
free of any restrictive legends and in such
denominations and registered in such names as Holders
may request prior to sales of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.
(i) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
paragraph (b)(2)(iii) above, the Company shall, if
required pursuant to the Securities Act or paragraph
(b)(2)(iii) above, promptly prepare a post-effective
amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or an
amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or
file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities,
the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
(j) The Company may require each Holder to furnish to the
Company with such information regarding the Holder and
the distribution of such securities as the Company may
from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in
such Shelf Registration Statement. Any Holder who fails
to
13
provide such information within a reasonable time after
receiving such request shall not be entitled to use the
Prospectus.
(k) The Company shall enter into such agreements and take
all other appropriate actions in order to expedite or
facilitate the registration or the disposition of the
Registrable Securities.
(l) The Company shall (i) make reasonably available for
inspection by the Holders, and any attorney, accountant

financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Company and its
subsidiaries in connection with such Shelf Registration
Statement as is customary for similar due diligence
examinations; and (ii) cause the Company's officers
directors and employees to supply all relevant

similar due diligence examinations; provided, however,
that any information that is designated in writing by
the Company, in good faith, as confidential at the time
of delivery of such information shall be kept
confidential by the Holders or any such attorney,
accountant or agent, unless disclosure thereof is made
in connection with a court proceeding or required by
law, or such information has become available (not in
violation of this agreement) to the public generally or
through a third party without an accompanying obligation
of confidentiality, and the Company shall be entitled to
request that such Holders sign a confidentiality
agreement to the foregoing effect.
7.3. Use of Prospectus. The Holders may not use the Prospectus, in
each case after notice by the Company of the applicable event,
(A) during any period of suspension referred to in Section
7.1(c), (B) during any period when a stop order is in effect as
referred to in Section 7.2(b)(2)(i), (C) in the applicable
jurisdiction during any period when the qualification of the
Registrable Securities has been suspended in such jurisdiction,
as referred to in Section 7.2(b)(2)(ii), and (D) during any
suspension period referred to in Section 7.2(b)(2)(iii).
7.4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall be responsible for, and
shall pay in due course, all Registration Expenses. The Company
shall not be responsible for the payment of any underwriting or
brokerage fees and discounts.
7.5. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement, the
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder, each Affiliate of such Holder, the directors,
partners, officers, employees and agents of each such
Holder and each person who controls any such Holder
within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act against any and
14
all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which they or any of them may become subject
under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or
state statutory law or regulation, at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf
Registration Statement as originally filed or in any
amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or
Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and agrees to
reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
however, that (i) the Company will not be liable in any
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of any such Holder specifically
for inclusion therein, (ii) the Company will not be
liable to any indemnified party under this indemnity
agreement with respect to any Shelf Registration
Statement or Prospectus to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability of such indemnified
party results from the use of the Prospectus during a
period when the use of the Prospectus has been suspended
in accordance with Section 7.1(c) hereof, provided that
Holders received prior notice of such suspension; and
(iii) the Company shall not be liable to any indemnified
party with respect to any preliminary Prospectus to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of
such indemnified party results from the fact that such
indemnified party sold Registrable Securities to a
person as to whom there was not sent or given, at or
prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy
of the Prospectus or of the Prospectus as then amended
or supplemented in any case where such delivery is
required by the Securities Act, if the loss, claim,
damage or liability of such indemnified party results
from an untrue statement or omission of a material fact
contained in the preliminary Prospectus which was
corrected in the Prospectus or in the Prospectus as then
amended or supplemented. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which the Company may
otherwise have. The Company also agrees to indemnify and
provide contribution to each person who may be deemed to
be an underwriter (for purposes of the Securities Act)
with respect to the Registrable Securities
("Underwriters"), their officers and directors, and each
person who controls each such Underwriter, on
substantially the same basis as that of the
indemnification of and contribution to the Holders
provided in this Section 7.5(a).
15
(b) By its participation in the Shelf Registration
Statement, each Holder shall be deemed to have agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Company, (ii) each
of its directors, (iii) each of its officers who signs
such Shelf Registration Statement and (iv) each person
who controls the Company within the meaning of either
the Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company to each such
Holder, but only with respect to written information
relating to such Holder furnished to the Company by or
on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in
the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which any such Holder may otherwise have. Each
Holder shall also be deemed to have agreed to indemnify
and contribute to each Underwriter, their officers and
directors, and each person who controls each such
Underwriter, on substantially the same basis as that of
the indemnification of and contribution to the Company
provided in this Section 7.5(b). Anything in this
Agreement contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the
liability of each Holder for indemnification or
contribution hereunder shall be limited to the amount of
proceeds received by such Holder in the offering giving
rise to such liability.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 7.5 of notice of the commencement of any
action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Section 7.5, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
failure so to promptly notify the indemnifying party
will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability
under Section 7.5(a) or 7.5(b) hereof unless and to the
extent that it is materially prejudiced thereby. The
indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel
of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying
party's expense to represent the indemnified party in
any action for which indemnification is sought (in which
case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be
responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate
counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties
except as set forth below); provided, however, that such
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying
party's election to appoint counsel to represent the
indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel
(including local counsel), and the indemnifying party
shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of
such separate counsel (and local counsel) if (i) the use
of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent
the indemnified party would present such counsel with a
conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential
defendants in, or targets of, any such action include
both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party
and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to
it and/or other indemnified parties which are different
from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party,
16
(iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed
counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time
after notice of the institution of such action or (iv)
the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified
party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
indemnifying party. An indemnified party shall not
settle or compromise any action for which it seeks
indemnification or contribution hereunder without the
prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. An
indemnifying party will not, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise
or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to
any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to
such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise
or consent includes an unconditional release of each
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such
claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in Section
7.5(a) or 7.5(b) is unavailable to or insufficient to
hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then
each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to
the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with investigating or defending same)
(collectively "losses") to which such indemnified party
may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by such
indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such
indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Shelf
Registration Statement which resulted in such losses.
(e) The provisions of this Section 7.5 shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any other
persons who are entitled to indemnification pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 7.5, and shall survive
the sale by a Holder of Registrable Securities pursuant
to the Shelf Registration Statement.

SCHEDULE 7.1(a)
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Registrable Securities may be sold by the Holders from time to time to or
through persons who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act, directly to other purchasers, or through agents. The Shelf
Registration Statement is not the exclusive means for resales of Registrable
Securities (e.g., they may be sold pursuant to Rule 144). The sale of the
Registrable Securities may be effected from time to time in one or more
transactions at a fixed price or prices (which may be changed), or at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing
market prices, or at negotiated prices, on such national securities exchange on
which the Registrable Securities may be listed or have unlisted trading
privileges, or in negotiated transactions, or in a combination of such methods
of sale.
