Dear Mr. Lee:

      By  executing  this  Subscription   Agreement  (this   "Agreement"),   the
undersigned (the  "Investor")  hereby  irrevocably  subscribes for the number of
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

for ALPHARX

      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.

schedule (the  "Disclosure  Schedule")  furnished by the Company to the Investor
herewith,  specifically  identifying the relevant Section and paragraph  hereof,
which exceptions shall be deemed to be representations and warranties as if made
hereunder:

<PAGE>


            (a)  Organization  and  Qualification  of Company.  The Company is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to own, operate or lease

Company is duly  qualified to do business  and is in good  standing as a foreign
corporation in each  jurisdiction in which the nature of the business  conducted

where the  failure  to be so  licensed  or  qualified  would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. For purposes hereof, "Material Adverse Effect" means any change,
circumstance or effect which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would
reasonably  be expected to have a material  adverse  change in, or effect on the
assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of the Company

or by the Transaction Documents,  provided;  however,  "Material Adverse Effect"
shall not include any material  adverse  change or effect  occurring  (i) to the
extent  that such  change or effect  is a result  of the  execution  and  public
announcement  of  this   Agreement,   the  pendency  of  the  Agreement  or  the
consummation of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby,  or (ii) as a result of
general  market or industry  conditions  (which  includes  facts  affecting  the
industry in which the Company  operates,  the Company's  customers or suppliers,
the  industries of the Company's  customers or suppliers,  or the economy in any
particular  region or  country).  For purposes of this  Agreement,  "Transaction
Documents"  means  this  Agreement,  and each  instrument  and  agreement  to be

set forth in Schedule 2(b) of the Disclosure Schedule. All outstanding shares of
capital stock are duly authorized,  validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and have been issued in compliance with all applicable  securities laws,  except

reasonably  be  expected  to  result in a  Material  Adverse  Effect.  Except as
disclosed in Schedule 2(b) of the Disclosure Schedule,  there are no outstanding
options,  warrants,  script rights to subscribe to, calls or  commitments of any
character   whatsoever  relating  to,  or  securities,   rights  or  obligations
convertible  into or exercisable or  exchangeable  for, or giving any Person any
right to subscribe  for or acquire,  any shares of Common  Stock,  or contracts,
commitments,  understandings  or  arrangements  by  which  the  Company  or  any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or
securities or rights  convertible or  exchangeable  into shares of Common Stock.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Subsidiary" means any corporation,  association
or  business  entity  more than a majority  of the voting  interest  of which is
hereafter owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company. Except as
set  forth  in  Schedule  2(b)  of  the  Disclosure   Schedule,   there  are  no
anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by

hereof,  "Knowledge" of the Company means  information,  facts or  circumstances

Company  is not:  (i) in  violation  of its  organizational  documents;  (ii) in

Authority  (collectively,   "Laws"),  including  maintenance  of  any  licenses,
permits,  consents  and  authorizations  required to be obtained by it under all
applicable Laws relating to its business,  the absence of which would reasonably
be  expected  to have,  individually  or in the  aggregate,  a Material  Adverse
Effect.

because of the nature of the business to be conducted by the Company; and to the
Company's  Knowledge,  the  continued  employment  by the Company of its present

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

notwithstanding  any termination of this Agreement,  indemnify and hold harmless
the Investor,  the  officers,  directors,  partners,  members,  agents,  brokers

result of a pledge  or any  failure  to  perform  under a margin  call of Common
Stock),  investment  advisors  and  employees  of each of them,  each Person who
controls any such Investor  (within the meaning of Section 15 of the  Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange  Act) and the officers,  directors,  partners,
members,  agents and employees of each such controlling  Person,  to the fullest
extent  permitted by  applicable  law,  from and against any and all Losses,  as
incurred,  arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged 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 in any
preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged
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,  except to the extent,  that (i) such untrue  statements,
alleged untrue statements,  omissions or alleged 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  contemplated in Section.
The Company  shall notify the Investor  promptly of the  institution,  threat or
assertion of any proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the

<PAGE>


            (b)  Indemnification  by  Investor.  By  virtue  of  executing  this
document,  the Investor  shall  indemnify  and hold  harmless  the Company,  its
directors,  officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company
(within  the meaning of Section 15 of the  Securities  Act and Section 20 of the
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.

<PAGE>


      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
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.

      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.

                                    Exhibit A

                                 Form of Warrant


<PAGE>



                                    Exhibit B

                                    Exhibit C

                              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.
