                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Dear Subscriber:

         You (the "Subscriber") hereby agree to purchase, and THE RECOVERY
NETWORK, INC., a Colorado corporation (the "Company") hereby agrees to issue and
to sell to the Subscriber, a convertible note of the Company in the principal
amount as set forth on the signature page hereof and in the form annexed as
Exhibit A (the "Note"), convertible in accordance with the terms thereof into
shares of the Company's common stock (the "Company Shares"). (The Company
Shares are sometimes referred to herein as the "Shares"). (The Note, the Company
Shares and Commission Shares [as hereinafter defined] are collectively referred
to herein as, the "Securities"). Upon acceptance of this Agreement by the
Subscriber, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Subscriber the Note
against payment, by federal funds (U.S.) wire transfer of the principal amount
of the Note.

         The following terms and conditions shall apply to this subscription.

         1. Subscriber's Representations and Warranties. The Subscriber hereby
represents and to and agrees with the Company that:

            (a) Information on Company. The Subscriber has been furnished with
and has read the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1998 and
subsequent Forms 10-Q and 8-K, each as filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") (with exhibits thereto, hereinafter
referred to as the "Reports"). In addition, the Subscriber has received from
the Company such other information concerning its operations, financial
condition and other matters as the Subscriber has requested, and considered all
factors the Subscriber deems material in deciding on the advisability of
investing in the Securities (such information in writing is collectively, the
"Other Written Information").

            (b) Information on Subscriber. The Subscriber is an "accredited
investor", as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is experienced in investments and
business matters, has made investments of a speculative nature and has purchased
securities of United States publicly-owned companies in private placements in
the past and, with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in
financial, tax and other business matters as to enable the Subscriber to utilize
the information made available by the Company to evaluate the merits and risks
of and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the proposed
purchase, which represents a speculative investment. The Subscriber has the
authority and is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own the Securities.
The Subscriber is able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite
period and to afford a complete loss thereof.

            (c) Purchase of Note. On the Closing Date, the Subscriber will
purchase the Note for its own account and not with a view to any distribution
thereof.

            (d) Compliance with Securities Act. The Subscriber understands and
agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") by reason of their issuance in a transaction
that does not require registration under the 1933 Act, and that such Securities
must be held unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the 1933 Act or
is exempt from such registration.

            (e) Company Shares Legend. The Company Shares and the Commission
Shares (as defined hereinafter) shall bear the following legend:

            "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
            NOT BEEN REGISTERED  UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
            1933, AS AMENDED.  THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD,
            OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE
            ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT
            OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY
            TO  THE  RECOVERY   NETWORK,   INC.   THAT  SUCH
            REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."

            (f) Communication of Offer. The offer to sell the Securities was
directly communicated to the Subscriber. At no time was the Subscriber presented
with or solicited by any leaflet, newspaper or magazine article, radio or
television advertisement, or any other form of general advertising or solicited
or invited to attend a promotional meeting otherwise than in connection and
concurrently with such communicated offer.

            (g) Correctness of Representations. The Subscriber represents that
the foregoing representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date
hereof and, unless the Subscriber otherwise notifies the Company prior to the
Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), shall be true and correct as of the
Closing Date. The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the
Closing Date.

         2. Company Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and
to and agrees with the Subscriber that:

            (a) Due Incorporation. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws

corporate power to own their properties and to carry on their business as now

<PAGE>   3

necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify
would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or
prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company.

            (b) Outstanding Stock. All issued and outstanding shares of capital

Company's obligations hereunder.

            (f) No Violation or Conflict. Assuming the representations and
warranties of the Subscriber in Paragraph 1 are true and correct and the
Subscriber complies with its obligations under this Agreement, neither the
issuance and sale of the Securities nor the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement and all other agreements entered into by the Company relating
thereto by the Company will:

                (i) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute

both would be reasonably likely to constitute a default) under (A) the articles
of incorporation, charter or bylaws of the Company, or any of its affiliates,

                                       3

<PAGE>   4

of its affiliates of any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator
having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its affiliates or over the
properties or assets of the Company, or any of its affiliates, (C) the terms of
any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness, or any

party, by which the Company, or any of its affiliates is bound, or to which any
of the properties of the Company, or any of its affiliates is subject, or (D)
the terms of any "lock-up" or similar provision of any underwriting or similar

its affiliates.

            (g) The Securities. The Securities upon issuance:

                (i) are, or will be, free and clear of any security interests,
liens, claims or other encumbrances, subject to restrictions upon transfer under
the 1933 Act and State laws;

                (ii) have been, or will be, duly and validly authorized and on
the date of issuance and on the Closing Date, as hereinafter defined, and the
date the is converted, the Securities will be duly and validly issued, fully

                (iii) will not have been issued or sold in violation of any
preemptive or other similar rights of the holders of any securities of the
Company;

                (iv) will not subject the holders thereof to personal liability

governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company,
or any of its affiliates that would affect the execution by the Company or the
performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, and all
other agreements entered into by the Company relating hereto.

            (i) Reporting Company. The Company is a publicly-held company whose
common stock is (and has been for the past 90 days) registered pursuant to
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 1934 Act")
and is duly listed for trading on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. Pursuant to the
provisions of the 1934 Act, the Company has timely filed all reports and other
materials required to be filed thereunder with



                                       4
<PAGE>   5

the Securities and Exchange Commission during the preceding twelve months, and
is eligible to file a Form S-3 to register the Securities.

            (j) No Market Manipulation. The Company has not taken, and will not
take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably
be expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of
the common stock of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the
Securities or affect the price at which the Securities may be issued.

            (k) Information Concerning Company. The Reports and Other Written
Information contain all material information relating to the Company and its
operations and financial condition as of their respective dates which
information is required to be disclosed therein. Since the date of the financial
statements included in the Reports, and except as modified in the Other Written
Information, there has been no material adverse change in the Company's
business, financial condition or affairs not disclosed in the Reports. The
Reports and Other Written Information do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

            (l) Dilution. The number of Company Shares issuable upon conversion
(as hereinafter defined) may increase substantially in certain circumstances,
including, but not necessarily limited to, the circumstance wherein the trading
price of the Common Stock declines prior to conversion of the Note. The
Company's executive officers and directors have studied and fully understand the
nature of the Securities being sold hereby and recognize that they have a
potential dilutive effect. The board of directors of the Company has concluded,
in its good faith business judgement, that such issuance is in the best
interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its
obligation to issue the Shares upon conversion of the Note is binding upon the
Company and enforceable, except as otherwise described in this Subscription
Agreement, regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership
interests of other shareholders of the Company.

            (m) Stop Transfer. The Securities are restricted securities as of
the date of this Agreement. The Company will not issue any stop transfer order
or other order impeding the sale and delivery of the Securities at such time as
the Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from registration
is available.

            (n) Defaults. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in
violation of its Articles of Incorporation or ByLaws. Neither the Company nor
any of its subsidiaries is (i) in default under or in violation of any other
material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of
its



                                       5


<PAGE>   6

properties are bound or affected, which default or violation would have a
material adverse effect on the Company, (ii) in default with respect to any
order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or subject to or party to
any order of any court or governmental authority arising out of any action, suit
or proceeding under any statute or other law respecting antitrust, monopoly,
restraint of trade, unfair competition or similar matters, or (iii) to its
knowledge in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental
authority material to its business.

            (o) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the
Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by
the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval
provisions. Nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take
any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be
integrated with other offerings.

            (p) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Subscriber funds to be
released to the Company will be used for working capital and for expenses of
this offering.

            (q) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor to its knowledge, any person acting on its or their behalf, has
engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the
meaning of Regulation D under the Act) in connection with the offer or sale of
the Securities.

            (r) Listing. The Company's common stock is listed for trading on the
NASDAQ SmallCap Market. The Company has not received any notice that its common
stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or that the common stock
does not meet all requirements for the continuation of such listing.

            (s) Correctness of Representations. The Company represents that the
foregoing representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date
hereof in all material respects and, unless the Company otherwise notifies the
Subscriber prior to the Closing Date, shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of the Closing Date. The foregoing representations and warranties
shall survive the Closing Date.

         3. Regulation D Offering. This Offering is being made pursuant to the
exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. On the
Closing Date, the Company will provide an opinion acceptable to Subscriber from
the Company's legal counsel opining on the availability of the Regulation D
exemption as it relates to the offer and issuance of



                                       6

<PAGE>   7

the Securities. A form of the legal opinion is annexed hereto as Exhibit B. The
Company will provide, at the Company's expense; such other legal opinions in the
future as are reasonably necessary for the conversion of the Note and resale of
the Commission Shares.

         4. Reissuance of Securities. The Company agrees to reissue certificates
representing the Company Shares without the legends set forth in Sections 1(e)
and 1(f) above at such time as (a) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose of
such Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act, or (b) upon resale
subject to an effective registration statement after the Securities are
registered under the Act. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Subscriber in
connection with all resales pursuant to Rule 144(d) and Rule 144(k) and provide
legal opinions necessary to allow such resales provided the Company and its
counsel receive reasonably requested certifications from the Subscriber and
selling broker, if any.

         5. Redemption. The Company may not redeem the Note without the consent
of the Noteholder.

         6. Legal Fees/Commissions. The Company shall pay to counsel to the
Subscriber its fee of $4,000 for services rendered to the Subscriber in
reviewing this Agreement and other subscription agreements for the aggregate
subscription amounts of up to $100,000. The Company will pay a commission
consisting of common shares of the Company to the entities ("Placement Agents")
and in the amounts designated on Schedule C hereto ("Commission Shares"). The
legal fees will be payable out of funds held pursuant to a Funds Escrow
Agreement to be entered into by the Company, Subscriber and an Escrow Agent. The
Commission Shares will be issued to the Placement Agents only when, as, and if
the corresponding subscription amount is released from escrow to the Company.
All the representations, covenants, warranties and undertakings, including but
not limited to registration rights made or granted to or for the benefit of the
Subscriber are also made and granted to the Placement Agents.

            7.1. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with
the Subscriber as follows:

                 (a) The Company will advise the Subscriber, promptly after it
receives notice of issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state
securities commission or any other regulatory authority of any stop order or of
any order preventing or suspending any offering of any securities of the
Company, or of the suspension of the qualification of the common stock of the
Company for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any
proceeding for any such purpose.

                 (b) The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
Company Shares and Commission Shares upon each securities exchange, or automated
quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed
(subject to official notice of


                                       7

<PAGE>   8

issuance) and shall maintain such listing so long as any other shares of Common
Stock shall be so listed. The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the
listing and trading of its Common Stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, and will
comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers ("NASD"), NASDAQ, and such exchanges, as applicable. The Company will
provide the Subscriber copies of all notices it receives notifying the Company
of the threatened and actual delisting of the Common Stock on any exchange or
quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed.

                 (c) The Company shall notify the SEC, NASD and applicable
state authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and
proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and
regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to the Subscriber
and Placement Agents and promptly provide copies thereof to Subscriber.

                 (d) Until at least three (3) years after the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement on Form S-3 or such other Registration Statement
described in Section 10.1(iv) hereof, the Company will (i) cause its Common
Stock to continue to be registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange
Act, (ii) comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under
the Exchange Act, and (iii) comply with all requirements related to any
registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement. The Company will not
take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Act or the
Exchange Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration
or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under said Acts
until the later of (i) three (3) years after the effective date of the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 or such other Registration Statement
described in Section 10.1(iv) hereof, or (ii) the sale by the Subscribers and
Placement Agents of all the Company Shares and Commission Shares issuable by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement. Until at least two (2) years after the Notes
have been converted, the Company will use its best efforts to continue the
listing or trading of its Common Stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market and will
comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the NASD and NASDAQ, as appropriate.

                 (e) The Company undertakes to use the proceeds of the
Subscriber's funds for working capital and expenses of this offering.



                                       8

<PAGE>   9

         8. Covenants of the Company and Subscriber Regarding Indemnifications.

                  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse
and defend Subscriber against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation,
loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or
imposed upon Subscriber which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any
misrepresentation by Company or breach of any warranty by Company in this
Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or Reports or other
Written Information; or (ii) any breach or default in performance by Company of
any covenant or undertaking to be performed by Company hereunder, or any other
agreement entered into by the Company and Subscribers relating hereto.

                  (b) Subscriber agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse
and defend the Company at all times against any claim, cost, expense, liability,
obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature,
incurred by or imposed upon the Company which results, arises out of or is based
upon (a) any misrepresentation by Subscriber in this Agreement or in any
Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto; or (b) any breach or default in
performance by Subscriber of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by
Subscriber hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by the Company and
Subscribers relating hereto.

         9. Conversion of Note.

                  a. Upon the conversion of the Note or part thereof, the
Company shall, at its expense, take all necessary action (including the issuance
of an opinion of counsel) to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall
issue stock certificates in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee) or such
other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such denominations to be
specified at conversion representing the number of shares of common stock
issuable upon such conversion, as applicable. The Company warrants that no
instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the
transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that the Shares, if included in
an effective registration statement, will be unlegended, free-trading, and
freely transferable on the transfer books of the Company, and will not contain a
legend restricting their resale or transferability under Federal or other
securities laws.

                  b. Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its
right to convert the Note or part thereof by telecopying an executed and
completed notice of Conversion to the Company. The Subscriber will not be
required to surrender the Note until the Note has been fully converted or
satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the
Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion
Date. The Company will or cause its transfer agent to transmit the Company's
common stock certificates representing the Company Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Note (and a Note representing the


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

balance of the Note not so converted, if requested by Subscriber) to the
Subscriber via express courier for receipt by such Subscriber within five
business days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the
"Delivery Date").

                  c. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the
Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof, or the Mandatory
Redemption Payment described in Section 9.2 hereof, beyond the Delivery Date
could result in economic loss to the Subscriber. As compensation to the
Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the
Subscriber for late issuance of Shares in the form required pursuant to Section
9 hereof upon Conversion of the Note or late payment of the Mandatory Redemption
Amount, in the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each
$10,000 of Note principal amount being converted or redeemed. The Company shall
pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon
demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to
the Subscriber, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect
delivery of the Shares by the Delivery Date, the Subscriber will be entitled to
revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind the notice of Mandatory
Redemption by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the
Company and the Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions
immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that late
payment charges described above shall be payable through the date notice of
revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

                  d. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to
herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or
require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the
maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest
required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by
such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against
amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus refunded to the Company.

                  e. on and after the date hereof and only during the pendency
of the Company having a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act, so that the Subscriber or his assignee is subject to Section 16 of
the Exchange Act, the Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert on a
Conversion Date that amount of Note principal and/or interest in connection with
that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i)
the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber and
its affiliates on a Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the
determination of this proviso is being made on a Conversion Date, which would
result in beneficial ownership by the Subscriber and its affiliates of more than
9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. For the purposes
of the proviso to the immediately



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.

                  f. In the event a Subscriber shall elect to convert a Note or
part thereof, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such
Subscriber or any one associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has been
engaged in any violation of law, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice,
restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of said Note shall have
been obtained and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such
Subscriber in the amount of 125% of the amount of the Note, which bond shall
remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute
and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent it
obtains judgment.

                  g. In addition to any other rights available to the
Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to the Subscriber such shares
issuable upon conversion of a Note by the Delivery Date and if after the
Delivery Date the Subscriber purchases (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such
Subscriber of the Common Stock which the Subscriber anticipated receiving upon
such conversion (a "Buy-In") , then the Company shall pay in cash to the
Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the
Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the Subscriber's total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note
for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with interest thereon
at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest
thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty). For example, if the Subscriber purchases shares of Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to
an attempted conversion of $10,000 of note principal and/or interest, the
Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The
Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.

            9.2. Mandatory Redemption. In the event the Company may not issue
Shares on a Delivery Date for any reason, whether or not a Notice of Conversion
has been given to the Company, then at the Subscriber's election, the Company
must pay to the Subscriber on the Delivery Date or within seven (7) days after
demand a sum of money determined by multiplying the principal amount of the Note
designated by the Subscriber by 130%, together with accrued but unpaid interest
thereon ("Mandatory Redemption Payment"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory
Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal will be deemed paid and no
longer outstanding.

            10.1. Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the following
registration rights to holders of the Securities.



                                       11
<PAGE>   12


                  (i) On one occasion, for a period commencing 10 days after the
Closing Date, but not later than three years after the Closing Date, the
Company, upon a written request therefor from any record holder or holders of
more than 50% of the aggregate of the Company's Shares issued and issuable upon
Conversion of the Note, which are not then freely transferable (the Securities
and securities issued or issuable by virtue of ownership of the Securities,
being, the "Registrable Securities"), shall prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement under the Act covering the Registrable Securities which
are the subject of such request, unless such Registrable Securities are the
subject of an effective registration statement. In addition, upon the receipt of
such request, the Company shall promptly give written notice to all other record
holders of the Registrable Securities that such registration statement is to be
filed and shall include in such registration statement Registrable Securities
for which it has received written requests within 10 days after the Company
gives such written notice. Such other requesting record holders shall be deemed
to have exercised their demand registration right under this Section 10.1(i). As
a condition precedent to the inclusion of Registrable Securities, the holder
thereof shall provide the Company with such information as the Company
reasonably requests. The obligation of the Company under this Section 10.1(i)
shall be limited to one registration statement.

                  (ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of
its securities under the Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account
or for the account of other security holders or both, except with respect to
registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or another form not available for
registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public, provided the
Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Subscriber
or Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each such time it
will give at least 30 days' prior written notice to the record holder of the
Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of
the holder, received by the Company within 30 days after the giving of any such
notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities, the
Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall
have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the
registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent
required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities
so registered by the holder of such Registrable Securities (the "Seller"). In
the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 10.1(ii) shall be, in
whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock of the
Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent
that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that
such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold
by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the
Seller in writing of any such reduction. Notwithstanding the forgoing



                                       12

<PAGE>   13

provisions, the Company may withdraw any registration statement referred to in
this Section 10.1(ii) without thereby incurring any liability to the Seller.

                  (iii) If, at the time any written request for registration is
received by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(i), the Company has determined
to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement
under the 1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash of
any of its securities for the Company's own account, such written request shall
be deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 10.1 (ii) rather than Section
10.1 (i), and the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities covered by
such written request shall be governed by Section 10.1 (ii) except that the
Company or underwriter, if any, may not withdraw such registration or limit the
amount of Registrable Securities included in such registration.

                  (iv) The Company shall file with the Commission no later than
April 15, 1999 (the "Filing Date"), and use its reasonable commercial efforts
to cause to be declared effective a Form S-3 registration statement (or such
other form that it is eligible to use) on or before June 15, 1999 in order to
register the Registrable Securities for resale and distribution under the Act.
The registration statement described in this paragraph must be declared
effective by the Commission on or before June 15, 1999 ("Effective Date"). The
Company will register not less than 64,000 shares of Common Stock in the
aforedescribed registration statement for each $10,000 of Note principal
subscribed for and one share of Common Stock for each Commission Share. The
Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the
benefit of the Subscriber and Placement Agents, as the case may be, and not
issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than the Subscriber and Placement
Agents, as the case may be. Such registration statement will be promptly amended
or additional registration statements will be promptly filed by the Company as
necessary to register additional Company Shares to allow the public resale of
all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable
Securities.

            10.2. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is
required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any shares of
Registrable Securities under the Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as
possible:

                  (a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the
distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), and promptly
provide to the holders of Registrable Securities copies of all filings;


                                       13


<PAGE>   14

                  (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for
the period specified in paragraph (a) above and comply with the provisions of
the Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement in accordance with the Seller's intended
method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;

                  (c) furnish to the Seller, and to each underwriter if any,
such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included
therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may
request in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the
securities covered by such registration statement;

                  (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Seller's
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Seller and in the
case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall
reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

                  (e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of
the Company is then listed;

                  (f) immediately notify the Seller and each underwriter under
such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Act, of the happening of any event of which
the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such
registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing;

                  (g) make available for inspection by the Seller, any
underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration
statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or
underwriter, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause
the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly
available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the seller,
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement.



                                       14

<PAGE>   15

            10.3. Provision of Documents.

                  (a) At the request of the Seller, provided a demand for
registration has been made pursuant to Section 10.1(i) or a request for
registration has been made pursuant to Section 10.1(ii), the Registrable
Securities will be included in a registration statement filed pursuant to this
Section 10. In the event of a firm commitment underwritten public offering in
which the Registrable Securities are so included, the lockup, if any, requested
by the managing underwriter may not exceed ninety (90) days after the effective
date thereof.

                  (b) In connection with each registration hereunder, the Seller
will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to itself
and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to
assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws. In
connection with each registration pursuant to Section 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii)
covering an underwritten public offering, the Company and the Seller agree to
enter into a written agreement with the managing underwriter in such form and
containing such provisions as are customary in the securities business for such
an arrangement between such underwriter and companies of the Company's size and
investment stature.

             10.4. Non-Registration Events. The Company and the Subscriber agree
that the Seller will suffer damages if any registration statement required under
Section 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) above is not filed within 60 days after request by
the Holder and not declared effective by the Commission within 120 days after
such request [or the Filing Date and Effective Date, respectively, in reference
to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 or such other form described in
Section 10.1(iv)], and maintained in the manner and within the time periods
contemplated by Section 10 hereof, and it would not be feasible to ascertain the
extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (i) the Registration
Statement described in Sections 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) is not filed within 60 days
of such request, or is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to
the date that is 120 days after such request, or (ii) the registration statement
on Form S-3 or such other form described in Section 10.1(iv) is not filed on or
before the Filing Date or not declared effective on or before the sooner of the
Effective Date, or within five days of receipt by the Company of a communication
from the Commission that the registration statement described in Section
10.1(iv) will not be reviewed, or (iii) any registration statement described in
Sections 10.1(i), 10.1(ii) or 10.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but shall
thereafter cease to be effective (without being succeeded immediately by an
additional registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of
time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year but not more than 20
consecutive calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the
date the Registration Statement is declared effective) (each such event referred
to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10.4 is


                                       15
<PAGE>   16
referred to herein as a "Non-Registration Event"), then, for so long as such
Non-Registration Event shall continue, the Company shall pay in cash as
Liquidated Damages to each holder of the Note or any Registrable Securities an
amount equal to three (3%) percent for each thirty (30) days or part thereof, of
the principal amount of the Note and the corresponding principal amount of the
Note converted to obtain Company Shares, then owned of record by such holder as
of the occurrence and continuation of such Non-Registration Event. Payments to
be made pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be due and payable immediately upon
demand in immediately available funds. It shall also be deemed a Non-
Registration Event in relation to any portion of the Company Shares which are
issued or issuable upon conversion of the Note at the then applicable Conversion
Price, which are not included in the Registration Statement as of the Filing
Date or at any time thereafter.

            10.5. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying
with Section 10, including, without limitation, all registration and filing
fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent
public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including counsel fees)
incurred in connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky" laws,
fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes,
fees of transfer agents and registrars, fee of one counsel, if any, to represent
all the Sellers, and costs of insurance are called "Registration Expenses". All
underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of
Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special
counsel to the Seller, are called "Selling Expenses". The Seller shall pay the
fees of its own additional counsel, if any.

            The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
the registration statement under Section 10. All Selling Expenses in connection
with each registration statement under Section 10 shall be borne by the Seller
and may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares
sold by the Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such registration
statement or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.

            10.6. Indemnification and Contribution.

                  (a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Act pursuant to Section 10, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless the Seller, each officer of the Seller, each director of the
Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each
other person, if any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning
of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may
become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact



                                       16


<PAGE>   17

contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities
was registered under the Act pursuant to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Seller, each such
underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in
conformity with information furnished by any such Seller, the underwriter or any
such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such registration
statement or prospectus.

             (b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable
Securities under the Act pursuant to Section 10, the Seller will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Act, each officer of the Company who signs the
registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each
person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Act, against all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company
or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject
under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were
registered under the Act pursuant to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such
officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however,
that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to
such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller
specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided,
further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to
the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is
equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the Registrable


                                       17

<PAGE>   18

Securities sold by the Seller under such registration statement bears to the
total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any
event to exceed the gross proceeds received by the Seller from the sale of
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to such indemnified party other than under this Section 10.6(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under
this Section 10.6(c) if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced
by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any
indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the
extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 10.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected,
provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it
which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties
shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal
defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the
reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related
to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

                  (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
the event of joint liability under the Act in any case in which either (i) the
Seller, or any controlling person of the Seller, makes a claim for
indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.6 but it is judicially determined
(by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction
and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal)
that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the
fact that this Section 10.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii)
contribution under the Act may be required on the part of the Seller or
controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is
provided



                                       18
<PAGE>   19

under this Section 10.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller
will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so
that the Seller is responsible only for the portion represented by the
percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the
registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities
offered by such registration statement, provided, however, that, in any such
case, (A) the Seller will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such
registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be
entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

         11. Miscellaneous.

applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed
inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed
