         This Agreement is being executed by the parties hereto this 26th day
of November, 1996, but effective as of October 23, 1996, and reflecting
modifications intended to be effective as of November 14, 1996.

         Edudata Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Company"), proposes to
offer for sale in a private placement ("Offering"), thirty-two (32) units
("Units) at a purchase price of $50,000 per Unit (or an aggregate of
$1,600,000), each Unit consisting of a $50,000 principal amount secured
convertible promissory note ("Note(s)") and a Warrant ("Warrant") to purchase
25,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share ("Common Stock").  You
may accept subscriptions for fractional Units in your discretion and with the
Company's consent.  The Notes and Warrants will be issued in the form of
Exhibits B and E to the Term Sheet (as defined below) hereto.  The Units will
be offered on a "best efforts -- all or none" basis, in accordance with Section
4(2) and/or 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"),
and Rules 501-506 of Regulation D ("Reg D") promulgated thereunder, only to
"accredited investors," as defined in Reg D.

         The Company will issue to purchasers of Units additional Warrants
("Additional Warrants") in certain circumstances as set forth in Supplement No.
1 (as defined below) and Section 5.8 of this Agreement.  For purposes of this
Agreement, (i) the term "Warrants" shall be deemed to include the Additional
Warrants as if they were the Warrants originally issued as part of the Units
unless the context otherwise requires.

         The Units, Notes, Warrants and Additional Warrants have the terms and
conditions reflected in the Company's Confidential Term Sheet dated October 23,
1996, as supplemented by Supplement No. 1 (dated November 14, 1996)

(together the "Term Sheet").  The Term Sheet, together with all exhibits
thereto, including the Subscription Agreement to be executed by each purchaser
and the Company, as such Subscription Agreement is amended by Supplement No. 1,
will be referred to herein as the "Offering Documents."  M.H. Meyerson & Co.,
Inc. is sometimes referred to herein as "MHM" or the "Placement Agent." As used
herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term "Company" shall refer to and
include Edudata Corporation and its Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.6).

1.       Appointment of Placement Agent: The Offering Period.

         1.1.    Appointment of Placement Agent.  You are hereby appointed
exclusive Placement Agent of the Company during the offering period herein
specified ("Offering Period") for the purpose of assisting the Company in
placing the Units with purchasers who are qualified accredited investors
("Subscribers").  The Offering Period shall commence on the day the Offering
Documents are first made available to you by the Company and shall continue
until November 15, 1996; provided, however, that the Offering Period may be
extended for an additional period not to exceed thirty (30) days by the mutual
decision of the Company and the Placement Agent without notice to any
Subscriber.  If, at any time during the Offering Period, subscriptions for the
32 Units have been received (including up to 5 Units that may be subscribed for
by the holders ("October Note Holders") of the October Notes (as defined in the
Term Sheet) and paid for by tender of the October Notes) and accepted (and
funds in payment therefor have cleared) by the Company, then, upon the mutual
consent of the Company and the Placement Agent, a closing shall take place with
respect to such accepted subscriptions ("Closing").  If the Units are not sold
prior to the end of the Offering Period (including any extension thereof), the
Offering will be terminated and all funds received from Subscribers (and the
October Notes if they have been tendered) will be returned, without interest
and without any deduction.  The day that the Offering Period terminates is
hereinafter referred to as the "Termination Date." You hereby accept such
agency and agree to assist the Company in placing Units with the Subscribers.
Your agency hereunder is not terminable by the Company except upon termination
of the Offering or breach by you of your obligations hereunder.

         1.2.    Offering Documents.  The Company will provide the Placement
Agent with a sufficient number of copies of the Offering Documents for delivery
to potential Subscribers and such other information, documents and instruments
which the Placement Agent may reasonably request in order to comply with the

which funds shall be held by the Placement Agent in a segregated noninterest
bearing bank account in accordance with Rules 10b-9 and 15c2-4 promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), as set forth in the
Offering Documents.

2.        Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company hereby

duly incorporated, is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws
of its state of incorporation and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation
for the transaction of business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which the ownership or leasing of its properties or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify would not
have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and the
Subsidiary taken as a whole.  The Company has all requisite corporate power and
authority necessary to own or hold its properties and conduct its business as
described in the Offering Documents.

         2.2.    Authorized Capital.  As of the date of this Agreement, the

8,746,900 shares are currently issued and outstanding.  All of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly and validly authorized and
issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. None of the holders of such
outstanding shares of Common Stock is subject to personal liability solely by
reason of being such a holder.  The offers and sales of such outstanding shares

permitting or requiring it to issue, or otherwise to purchase or convert any
obligation into, shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company and
the Company has not agreed to issue or sell any shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company.  No holder of any of the Company's securities has
any rights, "demand," "piggyback" or otherwise, to have such securities
registered or to demand the filing of a registration statement.

         2.4.    Financial Statements.  The financial statements of the Company
included in the Offering Documents ("Financials") fairly present the financial

whatsoever, and there are no outstanding rights to acquire, or directly or
indirectly control the vote or transfer of, any of the capital stock of the
Subsidiary.  The representations and warranties made by the Company in this
Agreement shall also apply and be true with respect to the Subsidiary as if
each

the best knowledge of the Company, threatened) or, to the best knowledge of the
Company, any investigations or inquiries, before or by any court, or other
governmental authority, tribunal or instrumentality (or, to the Company's best
knowledge, any state of facts which would give rise thereto), pending or

which might result in any material adverse change in the business, properties,
financial position or results of operations of the Company, or which might
adversely affect the transactions or other sets contemplated by this Agreement
or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.  Schedule 2.9 sets forth
certain claims asserted against the Company, none of which, if resolved in a

Documents not to be true and correct, or not to be performed as contemplated,

operations, the Company is in substantial compliance with GMP and MDR
regulations (as defined in Supplement No. 1), as well as labeling requirements,
established by the FDA and the State of California.  The Company will also use
its best efforts to determine whether the sale of its products in foreign
countries is in compliance with laws of such foreign countries and, to the
extent it is not, either discontinue sales not in compliance with such laws or,
alternatively, with the advice of counsel experienced in such laws, continue
such sales and use its best efforts to achieve compliance as expeditiously as
possible.

6.       Indemnification and Contribution.

         6.1.    Indemnification by the Company.  The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its officers, directors,
shareholders and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Placement
Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Placement Agent or such controlling person 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
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained (A) in the Offering Documents, or (B) in any blue sky application or
other document executed by the Company specifically for blue sky purposes or
based upon any other written information furnished by the Company or on its
behalf to any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the
Units under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or
information being hereinafter called a "Blue Sky Application"), (ii) any breach
by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained
herein or in any of the Offering Agreements, or (iii) the omission or alleged
omission by the Company to state in the Offering Documents or in any Blue Sky
Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; and will reimburse the Placement Agent and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Placement Agent or such controlling person in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, whether arising out
of an action between the Placement Agent and the Company or the Placement Agent
and a third party: provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any
such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made





                                       16
<PAGE>   17
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding the
Placement Agent which is furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent
specifically for inclusion in the Offering Documents or any such Blue Sky
Application or (ii) any breach by the Placement Agent of the representations,
warranties or covenants contained herein (collectively, (i) and (ii) above are
referred to as the "Non-Indemnity Events").

         6.2.    Indemnification by the Placement Agent.  The Placement Agent
agrees to indemnity and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors,
stockholders and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company
or such controlling person 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 any Non-indemnity Event; and
will reimburse the Company and each such controlling person for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such controlling person in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action provided that such loss, claim, damage or liability is
found ultimately to arise out of or be based upon any Non-indemnity Event.

         6.3.    Procedure.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify in writing the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof; and the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party will relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under
this Section 6 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then
being sought, but not from any other liability which it may have to any
indemnified party.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified
party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent
that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party, similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel who shall be to the
reasonable satisfaction of such indemnified party, and after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation.  Any such indemnifying party shall not
be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any
claim or action affected without the consent of such indemnifying party.





                                       17
<PAGE>   18
         6.4.    Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 6 is unavailable to any indemnified party in respect to any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, will
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on
the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, from the Offering, or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above, but also the relative fault
of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Placement Agent, on the other hand,
in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company, on
the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be
in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the Offering (net of sales
commissions and the nonaccountable expense allowance, but before deducting
other expenses) received by the Company bear to the commissions and
nonaccountable expense allowance received by the Placement Agent.  The relative
fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other
hand, will be determined with reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, and its
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.

         6.5.    Equitable Considerations.  The Company and the Placement Agent
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 6 were determined by pro rate allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.

         6.6.    Attorneys' Fees.  The amount payable by a party under this
Section 6 as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
referred to above will be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses
reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or
defending any action or claim.

7.       Termination by Placement Agent.  The Placement Agent will have the
right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice as herein specified,
at any time, at or prior to the Closing (a) if the Company shall have failed,
refused, or been unable to perform any of its obligations





                                       18
