Dear Mr. Lee:

      By  executing  this  Subscription   Agreement  (this   "Agreement"),   the

shares of Common Stock of AlphaRx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),

hereinafter  referred  to as a "Unit"  and all such  shares of Common  Stock and
warrants are collectively referred to as the "Units") at a subscription price of
U.S. $0.15 per Unit (the "Subscription  Price"). Prior to the acceptance of this
Agreement by the Company,  the Investor shall have wired or otherwise  delivered
to the Company  payment of the Total  Purchase  Price set forth on the signature

and  correct in all  aspects  as though  made on the date of  acceptance  by the

      This  Agreement  shall not be valid and binding on the Company  unless and
until accepted by the Company. If this Agreement is not accepted by the Company,
the purchase  price paid by the Investor to the Company shall be refunded to the
Investor.


<PAGE>


      This  Agreement  is being  executed  together  with  similar  Subscription
Agreements in a series of transactions in which investors are purchasing  Units.
The consummation of the  transactions  contemplated by such Agreements will take
place in two closings as  contemplated  by this  Agreement  (hereinafter  each a
"Closing" and collectively the "Closings"). The Closings shall take place at the
offices of (Pedley Zielke  Gordinier & Pence,  PLLC, 2000 Meidinger  Tower,  462
South 4th Avenue,  Louisville,  KY 40202).  All funds of the  Investor  shall be
deposited in an escrow account  ("Escrow")  prior to the first  Closing.  At the
first  Closing,  the  Company  shall  sell  the  Units to the  investors  for an
aggregate  purchase  price of U.S.  $3,000,000  (exluding  Units  issued  on the
conversion of certain  convertible  promissory notes issued by the Company prior
to April 1, 2004). Funds released from Escrow will be released pro rata based on
the aggregate  subscriptions  accepted by the Company  before or after the first
Closing.  All remaining  funds will be held in Escrow  pending the final Closing
and shall be released to the Company upon the  completion of the final  Closing.
The final Closing shall be conditioned upon the Company's stockholders approving
an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number
of authorized  shares of Common Stock from  100,000,000 to  250,000,000.  If the
final  Closing  does not occur on or before  August 15,  2004 the balance of the
Escrow will be released and returned to the appropriate investors.

      The Investor  understands that the Units may be acquired hereunder only by
investors  who are  able to make all  required  representations  and  warranties
below. The undersigned  also  understands and agrees that,  although the Company
will use its best  efforts to keep the  information  provided  in the answers to
this Agreement  strictly  confidential,  the Company may present this Agreement,
and the  information  provided  in  answers  to it, to such  parties as it deems
advisable  if called upon to  establish  the  availability  under any federal or
state securities laws of an exemption from  registration of a private  placement
or if the  contents  hereof  are  relevant  to any  issue in any  investigation,
action,  suit or proceeding to which the Company is a party or by which it is or
may be bound.

capital stock are duly authorized,  validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable

permits,  consents  and  authorizations  required to be obtained by it under all

leave,  vacation  time,  holiday pay,  severance pay or similar items (except as
accrued  in the  ordinary  course of  business).  The  execution,  delivery  and
performance  of  this  Agreement  and  the   consummation  of  the  transactions
contemplated  hereby will not trigger any  severance  pay  obligation  under any
contract or by operation of law.

Exchange  Act),  and  the  directors,  officers,  agents  or  employees  of such
controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and
against all Losses (as  determined  by a court of  competent  jurisdiction  in a
final judgment not subject to appeal or review) arising solely out of any untrue
statement  of a material  fact  contained  in the  Registration  Statement,  any
Prospectus,  or any  form  of  prospectus,  or in any  amendment  or  supplement
thereto, or arising solely out of any omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the  statements  therein (in the case of any
Prospectus  or form of prospectus  or  supplement  thereto,  in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only
to the extent,  that such untrue  statement  or  omission  is  contained  in any
information so furnished in writing by the Investor to the Company  specifically
for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or to the extent
that (i) such untrue  statements or omissions are based solely upon  information
regarding  the  Investor  furnished  in writing to the  Company by the  Investor
expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to the
Investor  or the  Investor's  proposed  method of  distribution  of  Registrable
Securities  and was reviewed and  expressly  approved in writing by the Investor
expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of
Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement  thereto or the use by the Investor
of an outdated or  defective  Prospectus  after the  Company  has  notified  the
Investor in writing that the  Prospectus  is outdated or defective  and prior to
the receipt by the  Investor of the Advice.  In no event shall the  liability of
the Investor  hereunder  be greater in amount than the dollar  amount of the net
proceeds  received by the Investor upon the sale of the  Registrable  Securities
giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

            (c)   CONDUCT  OF  INDEMNIFICATION  PROCEEDINGS.  If any  proceeding
shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity  hereunder
(an  "Indemnified  Party"),  such  Indemnified  Party shall promptly  notify the
Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying  Party") in writing, and
the  Indemnifying  Party  shall  assume  the  defense  thereof,   including  the
employment of counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the
payment of all fees and expenses  incurred in connection  with defense  thereof;
provided,  that the failure of any  Indemnified  Party to give such notice shall
not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to
this  Agreement,  except  (and  only) to the  extent  that it  shall be  finally
determined  by a court of competent  jurisdiction  (which  determination  is not
subject to appeal or further  review) that such failure  shall have  proximately
and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

      An Indemnified  Party shall have the right to employ  separate  counsel in
any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof,  but the fees and
expenses of such counsel  shall be at the expense of such  Indemnified  Party or
Parties  unless:  (i) the  Indemnifying  Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and expenses;  or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume  the  defense  of  such  Proceeding  and  to  employ  counsel  reasonably


                                       24
<PAGE>


satisfactory  to such  Indemnified  Party in any such  Proceeding;  or (iii) the
named parties to any such Proceeding  (including any impleaded  parties) include
both such  Indemnified  Party and the  Indemnifying  Party, and such Indemnified
Party shall have been  advised by counsel  that a conflict of interest is likely
to exist if the same counsel were to represent  such  Indemnified  Party and the
Indemnifying  Party (in which  case,  if such  Indemnified  Party  notifies  the
Indemnifying  Party in writing that it elects to employ separate  counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying  Party,  the  Indemnifying  Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense  thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of
the  Indemnifying  Party).  The  Indemnifying  Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such Proceeding  effected without its written  consent,  which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any
pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party,  unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

      All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including  reasonable fees
and  expenses  to the  extent  incurred  in  connection  with  investigating  or
preparing  to defend  such  Proceeding  in a manner not  inconsistent  with this
Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading
Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying  Party (regardless of whether
it is  ultimately  determined  that an  Indemnified  Party  is not  entitled  to
indemnification  hereunder;  provided,  that the Indemnifying  Party may require
such  Indemnified  Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to
the extent it is finally  judicially  determined that such Indemnified  Party is
not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

            (d)   CONTRIBUTION. If a claim for indemnification under Section (a)
or (b) is  unavailable  to an  Indemnified  Party  (by  reasons  other  than the
specified exclusions to indemnification),  then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu
of indemnifying such Indemnified  Party,  shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative  fault of the  Indemnifying  Party and
Indemnified  Party in connection with the actions,  statements or omissions that
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable  considerations.
The relative fault of such  Indemnifying  Party and  Indemnified  Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things,  whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue  statement of a material fact or omission
or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to
information  supplied by, such Indemnifying  Party or Indemnified Party, and the
parties'  relative intent,  knowledge,  access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent  such  action,  statement  or  omission.  The amount  paid or
payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject
to the  limitations set forth in Section  6.4(c),  any reasonable  attorneys' or
other reasonable fees or expenses  incurred by such party in connection with any
Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or
expenses if the  indemnification  provided for in this Section was  available to
such party in accordance with its terms.


                                       25

      The  parties  hereto  agree  that it would  not be just and  equitable  if
contribution  pursuant  to  this  Section  9(d)  were  determined  by  pro  rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation  that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding  the  provisions of this Section 9(d), the Investor shall not be
required to contribute,  in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by
which  the  proceeds  actually  received  by the  Investor  from the sale of the
Registrable  Securities  subject  to the  Proceeding  exceeds  the amount of any
damages that the Investor has  otherwise  been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission.  No Person
guilty of fraudulent  misrepresentation  (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities  Act) shall be entitled to  contribution  from any Person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

      The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in
addition  to any  liability  that  the  Indemnifying  Parties  may  have  to the
Indemnified Parties.

      10.   DISPOSITIONS.  The  Investor  agrees  that he will  comply  with the
prospectus  delivery  requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to him in
connection  with sales of Registrable  Securities  pursuant to the  Registration
Statement.  the Investor  further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the
Company,   the  Investor  will  discontinue   disposition  of  such  Registrable
Securities under the Registration  Statement until the Investor's receipt of the
copies of the supplemented  Prospectus and/or amended Registration  Statement if
necessary,  or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that
the use of the applicable  Prospectus  may be resumed,  and, in either case, has
received copies of any additional or supplemental  filings that are incorporated
or deemed to be  incorporated  by reference in such  Prospectus or  Registration
Statement.  The  Company  may  provide  appropriate  stop  orders to enforce the
provisions of this paragraph.

      11.   PIGGY-BACK  REGISTRATIONS.  If at any time during the  Effectiveness
Period  there is not an  effective  Registration  Statement  covering all of the
Registrable  Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with
the  Commission  a  registration  statement  relating to an offering for its own
account or the account of others under the  Securities  Act of any of its equity
securities,  other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as  promulgated  under the
Securities Act) or their then  equivalents  relating to equity  securities to be
issued solely in connection  with any  acquisition  of any entity or business or
equity  securities  issuable in connection  with stock option or other  employee
benefit  plans,  then the Company shall send to the Investor  written  notice of
such determination and if, within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, the
Investor  shall so  request  in  writing,  the  Company  shall  include  in such
registration  statement  all or any  part of  such  Registrable  Securities  the
Investor requests to be registered.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      1.    NOTICES.  Any and all notices,  other  communications  or deliveries

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

      The selling  stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their
shares of common  stock on any stock  exchange,  market or trading  facility  on
which the shares are traded or in private  transactions.  These  sales may be at
fixed or negotiated prices. The selling  stockholders may use any one or more of
the following methods when selling shares:

o     ordinary   brokerage   transactions   and   transactions   in  which   the
      broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

o     block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as
      agent but may  position  and resell a portion of the block as principal to
      facilitate the transaction;

o     purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the  broker-dealer
      for its account;

o     an exchange  distribution  in accordance  with the rules of the applicable
      exchange;

o     privately negotiated transactions;

o     short sales;

o     broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified
      number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

o     a combination of any such methods of sale; and

o     any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

      The selling  stockholders  may also sell  shares  under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

      The selling  stockholders  may also engage in short sales against the box,
puts and calls and other  transactions  in our  securities or derivatives of our
securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.

      Broker-dealers  engaged by the selling  stockholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling  stockholders  (or, if any  broker-dealer  acts as
agent  for the  purchaser  of  shares,  from the  purchaser)  in  amounts  to be
negotiated.  The  selling  stockholders  do not  expect  these  commissions  and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any
profits on the  resale of shares of common  stock by a  broker-dealer  acting as
principal might be deemed to be underwriting  discounts or commissions under the
Securities  Act.  Discounts,   concessions,   commissions  and  similar  selling
expenses,  if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling
stockholder.  The selling  stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer
or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares
if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.


<PAGE>


      The selling  stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security
interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties  may offer and sell the  shares of common  stock from time to time under
this prospectus  after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus  under Rule
424(b)(3) or other  applicable  provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending
the list of selling  stockholders  to include the pledgee,  transferee  or other
successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

      The selling  stockholders  also may transfer the shares of common stock in
other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors
in  interest  will  be the  selling  beneficial  owners  for  purposes  of  this
prospectus  and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this
prospectus  after we have  filed an  amendment  to this  prospectus  under  Rule
424(b)(3) or other  applicable  provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending
the list of selling  stockholders  to include the pledgee,  transferee  or other
successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

      The  selling  stockholders  and any  broker-dealers  or  agents  that  are
involved  in  selling   the  shares  of  common   stock  may  be  deemed  to  be
"underwriters"  within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such
sales. In such event, any commissions  received by such broker-dealers or agents
and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may
be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

      We are required to pay all fees and expenses  incident to the registration
of the  shares  of  common  stock.  We have  agreed  to  indemnify  the  selling
stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities,  including
liabilities under the Securities Act.

      The selling  stockholders  have advised us that they have not entered into
any  agreements,   understandings  or  arrangements  with  any  underwriters  or
broker-dealers  regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there
an underwriter or coordinating  broker acting in connection with a proposed sale
of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder.  If we are notified by any
selling  stockholder that any material  arrangement has been entered into with a
broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required,  we will file
a supplement to this prospectus. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus
for any  sale of the  shares  of  common  stock,  they  will be  subject  to the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

      The anti-manipulation  rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling
stockholders.
