STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Board of Directors August____, 1992
Educational Modules, Inc.
Gentlemen:
The undersigned (the "Purchaser") hereby purchases____shares of the Common
Stock of Educational Modules, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Company") at a
purchase price of $9.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $_________.
Summary
-------
The Company was organized in March, 1969, as a New York corporation.
Pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, (the "Articles of
Incorporation"), the Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, $.05 par value, of which 437,646 shares are currently outstanding. The
Company is offering for sale up to 36,556 shares of its common stock. Upon
completion of this Offering, assuming all 36,556 shares are sold, there will be
outstanding 474,202 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase an
additional 20,000 shares.
The Offering
------------
The Company is raising from the sale of the shares $329,004. The shares
will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), Chapter 517, Florida Statutes, (the "Florida Investor
Protection Act"), or any other state or federal securities laws, on the grounds
that the transaction in which the shares are to be issued qualifies for
applicable exemptions from the securities registration requirements of such
statutes. The exemptions being claimed include, but are not necessarily limited
to, those available under Sections 3(b) and 4(2) of the Securities Act, and
Section 517.061(12) of the Florida Investor Protection Act; and, the reliance by
the Company upon the exemptions from the securities registration requirements of
federal and state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations,
understandings and covenants set forth in this Stock Purchase Agreement.

CONDITIONS TO CLOSING OF PURCHASER
As a condition to closing, the Company hereby agrees to the following:
Registration Rights
1. Incidental Registration. If the Company at any time
-----------------------
proposes for any reason to register any of its securities under the
Securities Act (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form
X-0, X-00 or S-15 or similar or successor form (collectively, "Excluded
Forms")), it shall at such time promptly give written notice to all
Purchasers of its intention so to do, and, upon the written request, given
within 30 days after receipt of any such notice, of any such Purchase to
register any shares of Common Stock (which request shall specify the shares
intended to be sold or disposed of by such holders and shall state the
intended method of disposition of such shares by the prospective seller),
the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all such shares of Common
Stock to be registered under the Securities Act promptly upon receipt of
the written request of such holders for such registration, all to the
extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition (in accordance
with the intended methods thereof, as aforesaid) by the prospective seller
or sellers of the Common Stock so registered. In the event that the
proposed registration by the Company is, in whole or in part, an
underwritten public offering of securities of the Company, any request
pursuant to this Section 1 to register Common Stock may specify that such
shares are to be included in the underwriting (a) on the same terms and
conditions as those on which any Common Stock is otherwise being sold
through underwriters under such registration or (b) on terms and conditions
comparable to those normally applicable to offerings of common stock in
reasonably similar circumstances in the event that no shares of Common
Stock are being sold through underwriters under such registration;
provided, however, that if the managing underwriter determines and advises
-------- -------
in writing that the inclusion of all Common Stock proposed to be included
in the underwritten public offering and other issued and outstanding shares
of Common Stock proposed to be included therein by persons other than those
owned by Purchasers (the "Other Shares") would interfere with the
successful marketing of such securities, then the number of shares of
Common Stock and Other Shares to be included in such underwritten public
offering shall be reduced, pro rata; provided, however, that in no event
-------- -------- -------
may such reduction have the effect of not permitting at least
3
33-1/3 of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Agreement to be included
in the underwritten public offering.
2. Preparation and Filing. If and whenever the Company is under an
----------------------
obligation pursuant to the provisions of Section 1 to use its best efforts to
effect the registration of any Common Stock, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as practicable:
(a) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") a registration statement with respect to such securities
and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and
remain effective in accordance with Section 4(b);

supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective until the earlier of the date on which (i) all Common
Stock registered pursuant thereto shall have been sold, (ii) the holders of
said Purchaser's Common Stock being so registered agree to terminate said
registration, (iii) the registration rights hereunder terminate and (iv) 90
days from the date such registration statement shall have become effective,
and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
sale or other disposition of all Common Stock covered by such registration
statement;
(c) furnish to each selling stockholder such number of copies of
a summary prospectus or other prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and
such other documents to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of
such Common Stock;

covered by such registration statement under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of such jurisdictions as each such seller reasonably request
(provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to consent to
-----------------
general service of process for all purposes in any jurisdiction where it is
not then qualified) and do any and all other acts or things which may be
necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the public sale
or other disposition in such jurisdictions of such securities;
4
(e) notify each seller of Common Stock covered by such registration
statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto covered by such
registration statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act
within the appropriate period mentioned in Section 3(b), of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such
registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances then existing and, at the request of such
seller, prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of
a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so
that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such
prospectus shall not include 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 in the light of the circumstances
then existing; and
(f) furnish, at the request of any holder or holders requesting
registration of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1, on the date that such

that the registration statement with respect to such securities become
effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the
Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is
customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Company; and (ii) a
letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants

the Purchasers of their rights under Section 1.
4. Indemnification. In the event of any registration of any Common Stock
---------------
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 1, the Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless the seller of such shares, each broker or any other person acting
on behalf of such seller and each other person, if any, who controls any of the
foregoing persons, within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing
persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such
Common Stock was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or any document prepared and/or furnished by the Company incident to the
registration or qualification of any Common Stock, 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
or, with respect to any prospectus, necessary to make the statements therein in
light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or any
violation by the Company of the Securities Act or state securities or "blue sky"
laws applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of
the Company in connection with such registration or qualification under such
state securities or blue sky laws; and shall reimburse such seller, such
underwriter, broker or other person acting on behalf of such seller and each
such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred
by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall
-----------------
not be liable in any such can to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in said registration statement,
said preliminary prospectus or said prospectus or said amendment or supplement
or any document incident to the registration or qualification of any Common
Stock in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company through an instrument duly executed by such seller or such
underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
6
Before Common Stock held by any prospective seller shall be included in any
registration pursuant to this Agreement, such prospective seller and any
underwriter acting on its behalf shall have agreed to indemnify and hold
harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in the
preceding paragraph) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of
the Company who shall sign such registration statement and any person who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to
any untrue statements or omission from such registration statement, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through
an instrument duly executed by such seller or such underwriter specifically for
use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus,
final prospectus or amendment or supplement; provided that the maximum amount of
--------
liability in respect of such indemnification shall be limited, in the case of
each prospective seller of Common Stock, to an amount equal to the net proceeds
actually received by such prospective seller from the sale of Common Stock
effected pursuant to such registration.
Promptly after receipts by and indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in the preceding
paragraphs of this Section 4, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter
of such claim and/or the commencement of such action. In case any such action is
brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnified party shall be responsible for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the
defense thereof, provided that if any indemnified party shall have reasonably
--------
concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the
indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an
effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreement provided in this
Section 4, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume defense of
such action on behalf of such indemnified party and such indemnifying party
shall reimburse such indemnified party and any person controlling such
indemnified party for that portion of to fees and expenses of any counsel
retained by the indemnified party which are reasonably related to the matters
covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 4.
The indemnifying party shall not make my settlement of any claims
indemnified against hereunder without the written consent of the
7
indemnified party or parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, if pursuant to
an underwritten public offering the Company, the selling shareholders and the
underwriters enter into an underwriting or purchase agreement relating to such
offering which contains provisions of indemnification, this Section 4 shall
be deemed inoperative for purposes of such offering.
5. Securities Act Registration Statements. Except for securities of the
--------------------------------------
Company registered on Excluded Forms, the Company shall not file any
registration statement under the Securities Act covering any securities unless
it shall first have given each Purchaser written notice thereof. The Company
further covenants that each Purchaser shall have the right, at any time when it
may be deemed by the Company to be a controlling person of the Company, to
participate in the preparation of such registration statement and to request the
insertion therein of material furnished to the Company in writing which in such
Purchaser's judgment should be included. In connection with any registration
statement referred to in this Section 5, the Company will indemnify, to the
extent permitted by law, each Purchaser, their partners, officers and directors
and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or
prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereto or supplement
thereto or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission contained in written information furnished to the Company
by such Purchaser expressly for use in such registration statement. If, in
connection with any such registration statement, such Purchaser shall furnish
written information to the Company expressly for use in the registration
statement, such Purchaser will indemnify to the extent permitted by law the
Company, the directors, each of its officers who sign such registration
statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of the Securities Act against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to
be stated in the registration statement or prospectus or any preliminary
prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make
the statement therein not misleading, buy only to the extent that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission is
contained in information so furnished in writing by such Purchaser for
8
use therein. Any Purchaser selling Common Stock pursuant to a registration
