                             SUBORDINATION, PRIORITY
                                       AND
                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT is made as of December 3, 1998, by and among Futech
Interactive Products, Inc., an Arizona corporation ("Futech"), Vincent W. Goett
("Goett"), and F. Keith Withycombe and Patricia A. Withycombe, husband and wife
("Withycombe").

                                R E C I T A L S:

         A. Bank of America ("Lender") and Futech entered into a loan dated
December 3, 1998 (the "Financing Agreement").

         B. Goett and Withycombe executed a Guaranty, dated December 3, 1998
(the "Guaranty"), in favor of Lender in connection with the Financing Agreement.
Goett and Withycombe are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Guarantors." In the Guaranty, the Guarantors guaranteed certain debts of Futech
owing to Lender.

         C. The parties hereto desire to set out in writing their agreement
regarding the Guaranty, the Financing Agreement, and certain related matters.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                   T E R M S:

         1. FUTECH'S OBLIGATION: SECURITY AGREEMENT. Futech hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Guarantors harmless from and against any and all
claims, of any type or nature, including but not limited to attorneys' fees and
costs, incurred by Guarantors in connection with the Guaranty.

         As collateral security for said obligation, Futech hereby grants to
each Guarantor a security interest in any and all assets now owned or hereafter
acquired by Futech. In the event of default by Futech of its obligations under
this Section, Guarantors shall have all rights with respect to such collateral
as are available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in the
State of Arizona, or in any other state as necessary or appropriate in
connection with the collateral held, as the same may from time to time be
changed. Futech agrees to execute and deliver to Guarantors and pay the costs of
filing and/or recording financing statements evidencing this security agreement,
and any other documents necessary or appropriate to perfect this security
interest.

         2. PRIORITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, or
any other document to which the parties hereto are bound, the parties agree that
the following priority shall apply to the security interests described below
encumbering Futech's assets, as of the date of this Agreement:

                  (a) The first priority shall be the lien of Lender.
<PAGE>   2
                  (b) The second priority shall be the liens of Guarantors
described herein. Proceeds to the Guarantors shall be paid to and shared between
the Guarantors in proportion to the amounts paid by the Guarantors on the
guaranteed debt. For example, if Goett pays $200,000.00 on the Guaranty and
Withycombe pays $100,000.00 on the Guaranty, then amounts collected by
Guarantors in reimbursement of obligations paid under the Guaranty shall be for
the benefit of Goett and Withycombe 2/3 and 1/3, respectively, until the full
$300,000.00 is repaid to Guarantors.

                  (c) The third priority shall be for other security interests
of Goett against Futech's assets existing as of the date of this Agreement.

         Each party to this Agreement hereby unconditionally subordinates said
party's lien to the other liens identified above as being prior to said lien, to
the extent necessary to accomplish the priority of liens as described above.

         3. EQUAL CONTRIBUTIONS BY GUARANTORS. Guarantors hereby agree that
should either Guarantor be obligated to pay any amount or incur any expense in
connection with the Guaranty, then the Guarantors shall share equally in payment
of said amount, including but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs.

         5. No federal or state agency, including the Securities and Exchange

         6. The investment in the Shares is being made in reliance on specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and state securities
laws, and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the

forth herein in order to establish such exemptions.

         7. Subscriber agrees to deliver to the Company, if requested by the
Company, an investment letter in customary form.

         15. The investment in the Shares has been privately proposed to
