      Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") between Visual
Bible International, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Company") and

____________________________________________________________________________
("Purchaser").

      1. Purchase and Sale.

            (a) The Company hereby agrees to sell to the Purchaser and the
Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Company _______________________
units (the "Units") at a price of US$1.00 per Unit for an aggregate subscription
price (the "Subscription Price") of US$ _________________, all in accordance
with the terms set forth in this Subscription Agreement.  Each Unit consists of
a Fifteen percent (15%) US$1.00 principal amount (the "Principal") debenture
(the "Debenture"), 1.222 shares (the "Subscription Shares") of the $.001 par
value common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") and .555 warrants (the
"Warrants").  THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT ONCE EXECUTED BY THE COMPANY AND THE
PURCHASER IS IRREVOCABLE.

            (b) Within fourteen (14) business day of each Advance (as such term
is defined in the Debenture) under the Debenture, the Company shall issue and
deliver to Purchaser (i) that number of Subscription Shares equal to the United
States Dollar amount of such Advance multiplied by 1.222; and (ii) that number
of Warrants equal to the United States Dollar amount of such Advance multiplied
by .555.  In the event that the Purchaser does not fund the full amount of the
Initial Production Advance, a Subsequent Advance, the Initial Marketing Advance
or a Subsequent Marketing Advance (each as defined in the Debenture) that
becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of

<PAGE>

the Debenture, Purchaser shall forfeit the right to receive such portion of the
Subscription Shares and the Warrants represented by such deficiency unless and
until such deficiency is cured. Subject to the foregoing, on August 31, 2003,
the Company shall issue and deliver to Purchaser (i) that number of Subscription
Shares equal to (x) the Maximum Principal Amount (as defined in the Debenture)
multiplied by 1.222 less (y) the number of Subscription Shares previously issued
and delivered to Purchaser and (ii) that number of Warrants equal to (x) the
Maximum Principal Amount (as defined in the Debenture) multiplied by .555 less
(y) that number of Warrants previously issued and delivered to Purchaser.

            (c) The Company and the Purchaser have agreed that the value of each
Subscription Share is $.10 (the "Subscription Share Valuation") and that the
value of each Warrant is $.05 (the "Warrant Valuation").

            (d) The Company shall, as a condition precedent to the obligation of
the Purchaser to acquire the Units, provide to Purchaser an opinion of counsel
(the "Opinion of Counsel") reasonably acceptable to Purchaser which Opinion of
Counsel shall indicate that, subject to the exceptions, qualifications and
limitations stated therein, in a properly presented case under current Florida
law, brought in regard to the enforcement of paragraphs 8.(f) and 8.(i) hereof
(the "Subject Paragraphs"), a Florida court exercising jurisdiction over such
case would enforce the Subject Paragraphs.

            (e) The Company agrees that the "Initial Production Advance" for
each and every Subsequent Funding Debenture (as defined in the Debenture) shall
be an amount equal to (x) the "Maximum Principal Amount" of such Subsequent
Funding Debenture multiplied by (y) the quotient resulting from the division of
(i) the aggregate of the Existing Principal Amounts of all Initial Funding
Debentures (as defined in the Debenture) and all Subsequent Funding Debentures
by (ii) the aggregate of the Maximum Principal Amounts (as defined in the
Debenture) of all Initial Funding Debentures and all Subsequent Funding
Debentures immediately prior to the issuance of the subject Subsequent Funding
Debenture.

      2. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. The Purchaser
acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

            (a) The purchase of the Units involves a high degree of risk, in
that:

                  (1) an investment in the Units is highly speculative, and only
            those parties that can afford the loss of the entire investment
            should consider investing in the Units;

                  (2) Purchaser may not be able to liquidate an investment in
            the Debenture, the Subscription Shares, the Warrants or the Common
            Stock that underlies the Warrants; and

                  (3) Purchaser could sustain the loss of Purchaser's entire
            investment in the Units.

            (b) This Subscription Agreement has not been reviewed by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or any state securities agency.
The Debenture, the Subscription Shares, the Warrants and the Common Stock that
underlies the Warrants have not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Act") and/or applicable state securities laws (collectively, the
"Securities Laws") and are "Restricted Securities" as such term is defined by
Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

            (c) Neither the SEC nor any state securities agency has made any
finding or determination of the fairness or suitability for investment in or
any endorsement of Company or of the Units.

                                       2
<PAGE>

            (d) The price of the Units should not be considered as an indication
of any price at which the Debenture may be subsequently sold or the price at
which any of the Subscription Shares, the Warrants or the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Warrants may trade in the future.

            (e) In addition to the other acknowledgments, representations,
warranties and agreements contained herein, in the event Purchaser is other
than a nature person, Purchaser represents and warrants that:

                  (1) The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in
            good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
            organization, and has all requisite power and authority to purchase
            and hold the Debenture, the Subscription Shares and the Warrants
            that form the Units.

                  (2) The decision to invest by the Purchaser, the execution and
            delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser, the performance by the
            Purchaser of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by the
            Purchaser of the transaction contemplated hereby have been duly
            authorized and no other proceedings on the part of the Purchaser is
            necessary.

                  (3) The person executing this Agreement on behalf of the
            Purchaser has all right, power and authority to execute and deliver
            this Subscription Agreement on behalf of the Purchaser.  This
            Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
            Purchaser and, assuming the due authorization, execution and
            delivery hereof by the Company, will constitute the legal, valid
            and binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable against the
            Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be
            limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
            moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
            generally and the availability of equitable remedies.

            (f) In addition to the other acknowledgments, representations,
warranties and agreements contained herein, in the event Purchaser is a natural
person, Purchaser represents and warrants that he or she has reached the age of
majority in the jurisdiction in which he or she resides and has the legal
capacity to purchase and hold the Debenture, the Subscription Shares and the
Warrants that form the Units.

            (g) Purchaser is an accredited investor (an "Accredited Investor")
as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act
in that, among other things, the personal net worth or past and anticipated
income of Purchaser are in excess of the amounts required pursuant to such
rule.

            (h) The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risks of the
investment in the Units and, consequently, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, is able to hold the Debenture, the Subscription Shares and the
Warrants which form the Units for an indefinite period of time and has a
sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of the entire investment in the
Debenture, the Subscription Shares and the Warrants in the event such loss
should occur.

            (i) The Units are being acquired by the Purchaser for the
Purchaser's own account with no intention of selling, assigning or otherwise
disposing of any participation or interest therein, and not with a view toward
the distribution thereof.

            (j) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the Units and of protecting

                                       3
<PAGE>

the Purchaser's interests in connection with this transaction, or Purchaser has
employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney or accountant to review
any documents furnished or made available by Company to Purchaser in connection
with the purchase of the Units by Purchaser in order to evaluate, on behalf of
Purchaser, the merits and risks of an investment in the Units. The Purchaser
recognizes that an investment in the Units involves a high degree of risk and
that the Purchaser may lose the entire investment in the Units.

            (k) The terms upon which Purchaser has agreed to acquire the Units
is set forth in this Subscription Agreement and the documents and instruments
executed by and between Purchaser and the Company in connection therewith.
Purchaser has been encouraged to review all filings of the Company with the SEC
which are available at an internet site maintained by the SEC at
http://www.sec.gov.  THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURCHASER HAS OBTAINED
SUCH INFORMATION OR DATA AS PURCHASER MAY DEEM APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE
THE PURCHASER WITH THE BASIS OF MAKING AN INFORMED INVESTMENT DECISION WITH
RESPECT TO THE PURCHASE OF UNITS.  Except as may be set forth herein, no
representations or warranties have been made to Purchaser by Company or any
agent, employee or affiliate of Company, as a condition to executing this
Subscription Agreement, and Purchaser is not relying on any information other
than that which results from the independent investigation of Purchaser.

            (l) Purchaser understands that the Company is currently seeking to
raise as much as Five Million Dollars (US$5,000,000.00), and in that regard it
may execute subscription agreements with other parties for the sale of units
substantially the same as the Units purchased by Purchaser pursuant hereto (the
"Other Units").  Likewise, the Company may at anytime and from time to time
offer additional securities of the Company to such parties and in such manner
as may be deemed appropriate by the Company (collectively, the "Subsequent
Issuances"), subject to the rights of the Purchaser in regard thereto as set
forth in that certain Investor Rights Agreement (as hereinafter defined)
executed even date herewith.  Purchaser further understands that, subject to
the Investor Rights Agreement, in connection with the Subsequent Issuances, the
Company may offer rights, preferences or privileges which are more or less
favorable to any potential purchaser than those offered by the Company pursuant
to this Subscription Agreement and, except to the extent indicated in the
Investor Rights Agreement, the Company makes no representation or warranty to
the Purchaser in regard to any term or condition that may be offered in
connection with any such Subsequent Issuance.  As a result of the sale by the
Company of the Other Units or as a result of the Subsequent Issuances, the
percentage ownership of the then existing stockholders of the Company will be
reduced and such stockholders may experience dilution.

            (m) Purchaser understands that NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT THAT A
LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET MAY PRESENTLY EXIST FOR OTHER SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY,
neither the Debentures, the Subscription Shares, the Warrants nor the Common
Stock that underlie the Warrants can be sold publicly.  Furthermore, Purchaser
understands that at such time as any of the foregoing may be sold publicly,
there is no assurance that a public market will then exist.

            (n) Purchaser understands that none of the Debentures, the
Subscription Shares, the Warrants, the Common Stock underlying the Warrants or
the offer and sale thereof have been registered under the Act or under the
Securities Laws, that the transfer of any and all of the foregoing is
restricted and that the all of same must be held indefinitely unless any of
same are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from
registration is available to Purchaser.  Purchaser understands that Company is
the only party that may register any of the foregoing under the Act and that
Company is under no obligation to do so except as specifically set forth in
that certain Registration Rights Agreement (as hereinafter defined) executed
even date herewith.

            (o) The Purchaser is not subscribing for the Units as a result of,
nor is the Purchaser aware of any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication published in any newspaper,

                                       4
<PAGE>

magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented
at any seminar or meeting with respect to the Units or the Company.

            (p)Purchaser understands that a legend (the "Legend") will be
placed on the Debenture, the certificate representing the Subscription Shares,
the Warrant and the Common Stock underlying the Warrants stating that the each
of same has not been registered under the Act or other applicable Securities
Laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and
sale thereof.  The form of the Legend is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.(p).

      3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants by Company.  Company hereby
represents and warrants to and covenants with Purchaser that as of the date
hereof and the date of issuance by the Company of the Debenture, the

stockholders.  Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote
