Pollution Research and Control Corp.
506 Paula Avenue
Glendale, California 91201

Gentlemen:

     In connection  with the  acquisition by the  undersigned of 9,174 shares of
common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"),  at a per share price
of $1.09 (60% of the bid price per share of Common  Stock as of June 18,  1998),
of Pollution  Research and Control Corp. (the "Company"),  in consideration  for
the sum of  $9,999.66  in cash,  the  undersigned  wishes to  advise  you of his
understanding of, agreement with and/or representation of, the following:

     These securities are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Act"), on the ground that this sale is exempt from registration
under  Paragraph  4(1)  or  4(2)  of the  Act  and  the  Rules  and  Regulations
promulgated  thereunder  as not  involving  any public  offering.  The Company's
reliance on such  exemption is predicated in part on the  representation  of the
undersigned  that he is acquiring  such  securities  for  investment for his own
account,  with no present intention of dividing his participation with others or
reselling  or  otherwise  distributing  the  same.  These  securities  which the
undersigned is acquiring are "restricted  securities" as that term is defined in
Rule 144 of the General  Rules and  Regulations  under the Act. The  undersigned
acknowledges  that  he  understands  that  the  securities  covered  hereby  are
unregistered  and  must be  held  indefinitely,  unless  they  are  subsequently
registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

     The undersigned  agrees that any and all certificates,  which may be issued
representing the securities acquired hereunder,  shall contain substantially the
following legend, which the undersigned has read and understands:

          The shares  represented  by this  certificate  have not been
          registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), and
          are  "restricted  securities" as the term is defined in Rule
          144 under the Act.  The shares may not be offered  for sale,
          sold  or  otherwise   transferred   except  pursuant  to  an
          effective  registration statement under the Act, or pursuant
          to  an  exemption  from  registration  under  the  Act,  the
          availability   of  which  is  to  be   established   to  the
          satisfaction of the Company.

     The undersigned understands that the above legend on the certificates would
limit their value, including their value as collateral.


                                      E-57

     The  undersigned  further  acknowledges  that he  understands  that, if the
securities  have  been  held for a period  of at least  one year and if Rule 144
adopted  under  the Act if  applicable  (there  being no  representation  by the
Company that this Rule will be applicable),  then he may make only routine sales
of the securities in limited  amounts in a specified  manner in accordance  with
the terms and conditions of the Rule. The undersigned further  acknowledges that
he  understands  that, if Rule 144 is  applicable  (no assurance of which can be
made),  he may sell the  securities  without  quantity  limitation  in sales not
involving a market maker or through  brokerage  transactions only if he has held
the securities for at least two years. In case the Rule is not  applicable,  any
sales  made by the  undersigned  may be made only  pursuant  to other  available
exemption  from  registration  under  the  Act,  or  an  effective  registration
statement.

     The undersigned further acknowledges that he is aware that only the Company
can  file  a  registration  statement  or  an  offering  statement  pursuant  to
Regulation A under the Act and that the Company has no obligation to do so or to
take steps necessary to make Rule 144 available to him. The undersigned also has
been advised and acknowledges that he understands that, in the event Rule 144 is
not available, the circumstances under which he can sell the securities,  absent
registration or compliance with Regulation A, are extremely limited.

     The undersigned further  acknowledges and represents to the Company that he
is purchasing the securities for his own account and not as a trustee or nominee
for any other person or persons,  and that the funds or  consideration  invested
are his own. The undersigned further  acknowledges and represents that there are
no  existing  legal  restrictions  applicable  to him which would  preclude  his
acquisition of the securities for investment purposes, as described hereinabove.
The  undersigned  further  represents that he has no present plans to enter into
any contract,  undertaking,  agreement or arrangement for resale,  distribution,
subdivision or fractionalization of the securities purchased hereby.

     The undersigned further acknowledges that he understands that an investment
in the Company is extremely speculative and subject to a high degree of risk. In
this  connection,  the  undersigned  understands  that he may  lose  his  entire
investment in the Company.

     The undersigned further  acknowledges and represents to the Company that he
is able  to  bear  the  economic  risk of  losing  his  entire  investment.  The
undersigned  further  acknowledges  and warrants that his overall  commitment to
investments which are not readily marketable is not  disproportionate to his net
worth  and  his  investment  in the  securities  will  not  cause  such  overall
commitment to become excessive.  The undersigned  further represents that he has
adequate means of providing for his current needs and personal contingencies and
that he has no need for  liquidity  in  connection  with his  investment  in the
securities.

     The undersigned  further  acknowledges that he fully understands and agrees
that the  price of the  Company's  securities  acquired  by him was  arbitrarily
determined  without  regard  to any  value of the  securities.  The  undersigned
understands, additionally, that the price of the securities bears no relation to
the value of the  assets or net worth of the  Company or any other  criteria  of
value.  The  undersigned is aware that no  independent  evaluation has been made
with respect to the value of the securities. The undersigned further understands

                                      E-58

and agrees  that shares of the common  stock of the Company  have been or may in
the future be issued to certain other persons for a  consideration  which may be
less than the price paid by him for the securities.

     The undersigned further  acknowledges and represents to the Company that he
is knowledgeable and experienced in venture capital  investments in general and,
in particular, with respect to investments similar in nature to an investment in
the Company.  The frequency of the  undersigned's  prior  investments  in stocks
(including restricted stocks), in general, and in high technology companies,  in
particular, and other investments, of whatever kind, is as follows (check one in
