of the Agent or its counsel any Offering Documents relating to this offering are
required to be delivered under the `34 Act, any event occurs or any event known

which the Offering Documents as then amended or supplemented would include an
untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time after

notify the Agent thereof and shall prepare such further amendment or supplement
to the Offering Documents as may be required and shall furnish and deliver to

         2.10     Authority. The execution and delivery by the Company of this
Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and this Agreement

         cause its subsidiary, Electronic Medical Distribution, Inc. ("eMD.com")
         to issue to the Sub-Agent (as defined below) warrants ("WARRANTS") to

         4.       Offering of the Securities on Behalf of the Company.

         4.1      In offering the Securities for sale, the Agent shall offer
them solely as an agent for the Company, and such offer shall be made upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offering Documents. The
Agent shall commence making such offer as an agent for the Company as soon as
possible following delivery of the Offering Documents or in any manner
inconsistent with federal or state securities laws.

         4.2      The Agent will not make offers to sell the Securities to, or
solicit offers to subscribe for any Securities from, persons or entities that
are not "accredited investors" as defined in Regulation D.

         5.       Confidentiality/Protection of Clients.

         5.1      The Company agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Agent's clients, except as required by applicable law. Such clients shall be
those entities which invest or have been offered an opportunity to invest by the
Agent in the Offering (the "CLIENTS"). For a period of two years from the
Closing, the Company will not solicit or enter into any financing transaction
with the Clients without the written consent of Agent and payment to Agent
compensation no less than the compensation to be paid to Agent hereunder for
raising a like amount. The restrictions on the Company and Agent's right to
compensation described in the preceding sentence shall not apply to any Clients
included in a financing transaction as the result of the efforts of an agent or
other intermediary other than Agent.

         5.2      In the event that Company breaches Section 5.1 of this
Agreement, Agent shall be entitled to receive compensation in the same
proportion to the financing done without Agent's participation as the
compensation to Agent under this Agreement bears to the financing raised in this
Offering.

         6.       Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees
with the Agent that:

         6.1      After the date hereof, the Company will not at any time,
prepare and distribute any amendment or supplement to the Offering Documents, of
which amendment or supplement the Agent shall not previously have been advised
and the Agent and its counsel furnished with a copy within a reasonable time
period prior to the proposed adoption thereof, or to which the Agent shall have
reasonably objected in writing on the ground that it is not in compliance with
the `34 Act or the Rules and Regulations (if applicable).

         6.2      The Company will pay, whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is prevented from
becoming effective or is terminated, all costs and expenses incident to the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including all expenses
incident to the authorization of the Securities and their issue and delivery to
the Agent, any original issue taxes in connection therewith, all transfer taxes,
if any, incident to the initial sale of the



                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6

Securities, the fees and expenses of the Company's counsel (except as provided
below) and accountants, the cost of reproduction and furnishing to the Agent
copies of the Offering Documents as herein provided; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be responsible for the payment of fees and costs incurred by
Agent, including attorney's fees of or any costs incurred by the Agent's
counsel.

         6.3      The Company shall be responsible for making any and all
filings required by the Blue Sky authorities and filings required by the laws of
the jurisdictions in which Investor is located, if any.

         7.       Indemnification.

         7.1      The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent,
each person who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the `33
Act and the Agent's employees, accountants, attorneys and agents (the "AGENT'S
INDEMNITEES") against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the '33Act or
any other statute or at common law for any legal or other expenses (including
the costs of any investigation and preparation) incurred by them in connection
with any litigation, whether or not resulting in any liability, but only insofar
as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and litigation arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Offering
Documents or any amendment or supplement thereto or any application or other
document filed in any state or jurisdiction in order to qualify the Securities
under the Blue Sky or securities laws thereof, or the omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, under the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, all as of the date of the Offering Documents or of such amendment as
the case may be; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in
this Section 7.1 shall not apply to amount paid in settlement of any such
litigation, if such settlements are made without the consent of the Company, nor
shall it apply to the Agent's Indemnitees in respect to any such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon any such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or any such omission or alleged omission, if such
statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished in writing
to the Company by the Agent specifically for use in connection with the
preparation of the Offering Documents or any such amendment or supplement
thereto or any application or other document filed in any state or jurisdiction
in order to qualify the Securities under the Blue Sky or securities law thereof.
This indemnity agreement is in addition to any other liability which the Company
may otherwise have to the Agent's Indemnitees. The Agent's Indemnitees agree,
within ten (10) days after the receipt by them of written notice of the
commencement of any action against them in respect to which indemnity may be
sought from the Company under this Section 7.1, to notify the Company in writing
of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of the
Agent's Indemnitees to notify the Company of any such action shall not relieve
the Company from any liability which it may have to the Agent's Indemnitees on
account of the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.1, and further
shall not relieve the Company from any other liability which it may have to the
Agent's Indemnitees, and if the Agent's Indemnitees shall notify the Company of
the commencement thereof, the Company



                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

shall be entitled to participate in (and, to the extent that the Company shall
wish, to direct) the defense thereof at its own expense, but such defense shall
be conducted by counsel of recognized standing and reasonably satisfactory to
the Agent's Indemnitees, defendant or defendants, in such litigation. The
Company agrees to notify the Agent's Indemnitees promptly of the commencement of
any litigation or proceedings against the Company or any of the Company's
officers or directors of which the Company may be advised in connection with the
issue and sale of any of the Securities and to furnish to the Agent's
Indemnitees, at their request, to provide copies of all pleadings therein and to
permit the Company's Indemnitees to be observers therein and apprise the Agent's
Indemnitees of all developments therein, all at the Company's expense.

         7.2      The Agent agrees, in the same manner and to the same extent as
set forth in Section 7.1 above, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each
person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the `33 Act
and the COmpany's and Company's employees, accountants, attorneys and agents
(the "COMPANY'S INDEMNITEES") with respect to (i) any statement in or omission
from the Offering Documents or any amendment or supplement thereto or any
application or other document filed in any state or jurisdiction in order to
qualify the Securities under the Blue Sky or securities laws thereof, or any
information furnished pursuant to this Agreement, if such statement or omission
was made in reliance upon information furnished in writing to the Company by the
Agent on its behalf specifically for use in connection with the preparation
thereof or supplement thereto, or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact
made by the Agent or its agents not based on statements in the Offering
Documents or authorized in writing by the Company, or with respect to any
misleading statement made by the Agent or its agents resulting from the omission
of material facts which misleading statement is not based upon the Offering
Documents, or information furnished in writing by the Company or, (iii) any
breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Agent in this
Agreement. The Agent shall not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any
such litigation if such settlement was effected without its consent. In case of
the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought from
the Agent, the Company's Indemnitees shall have the same obligation to give
notice as set forth in Section 7.1 above, subject to the same loss of indemnity
in the event such notice is not given, and the Agent shall have the same right
to participate in (and, to the extent that it shall wish, to direct) the defense
of such action at its own expense, but such defense shall be conducted by
counsel of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Agent
agrees to notify the Company's Indemnitees and, at their request, to provide
copies of all pleadings therein and to permit the Company's Indemnitees to be
observers therein and apprise them of all the developments therein, all at the
Agent's expense.

         8.       Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective (i) at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date hereof or (ii) upon
release by the Escrow Agent of the Securities for offering after the date
hereof, whichever shall last occur.

         9.    Termination.

         9.1      This Agreement may be terminated by the Agent by notice to the
Company in the event that the Company shall have failed or been unable to comply
with any of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement on the part of
the Company to be performed, complied with or fulfilled within the respective

or satisfaction thereof shall have been expressly waived by the Company in

         9.3      Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section

expenses provided to be paid by it specified in Sections 3, 5, and 6; and the
Company and the Agent shall be obligated to pay, respectively, all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, under Section 7.1 in the case
of the Company and Section 7.2 in the case of the Agent.

         10.      Agent's Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. The Agent

the laws of the state of Georgia Agent is registered with the Securities
Exchange Commission and the NASD.

commission or the NASD, concerning the Agent's activities which would impair the
ability of the Agent to conduct the Offering as contemplated by this Agreement.

         10.3     All corporate actions by Agent required for the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement have been taken. The execution and
delivery of this Agreement by the Agent, the observance and performance thereof,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or in the Offering
Documents do not and will not constitute a material breach of, or a material
default under, any instrument or agreement by which the Agent is bound, and does
not and will not, to the best of the Agent's knowledge, contravene any existing
law, decree or order applicable to it. This Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding agreement of Agent, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

         10.4     Agent understands and acknowledges that the Securities are not
being registered under the 1933 Act, and that the Offering is to be conducted

contemplated by this agreement shall be resolved by arbitration before a
three-member panel of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with
the commercial arbitration rules of said forum and the Federal Arbitration Act,
9 U.S.C. 1 et seq., with the resulting award being final and conclusive. Said
arbitrators shall be empowered to award all forms of relief and damages claimed,
including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, expenses of litigation and
arbitration, exemplary damages, and prejudgment interest. Notwithstanding the

permanent injunctive and other equitable relief against Company. Company

pursue a claim for specific performance of this Agreement, and Company hereby
waives the right to assert any defense thereto that Agent has an adequate remedy
at law. The parties further agree that any arbitration action between them shall
be heard in Wilmington, Delaware.

hereto will issue any public announcement concerning the within transactions
