EXHIBIT 10.1

COMMON STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
OF HEARx Ltd.

THIS COMMON STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT(the Subscription Agreement) is
made and entered into as of this      day of March, 2002, by and between HEARx
Ltd. (the Company) and the undersigned (the Investor, and the Investor
together with the Company each a Party and collectively the Parties).
Pursuant to the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Investor hereby
subscribes for and agrees to purchase shares of common stock, par value $.10
per share (the Common Stock) of the Company and warrants to purchase
additional shares of Common Stock.

1.     Agreement to Subscribe; Purchase Price. At a purchase price per share
of One Dollar ($1) (the Purchase Price), and for an aggregate purchase price
of      Dollars ($     ) (the Aggregate Purchase Price), Investor hereby
subscribes for      (     ) shares of Common Stock (the Shares) and
     (     ) three-year Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase
additional shares of Common Stock for an exercise price of $1.15 per share (the
Warrants) (the Shares and Warrants collectively, the Securities).

2.     Closing. Investor shall pay the Aggregate Purchase Price by wire
transfer of same-day funds in U.S. dollars against counter-delivery of
certificates (the Certificates) representing the Shares and the Warrants by
the Company. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Shares and
Warrants (the Closing) shall take place promptly upon the full payment of the
Aggregate Purchase Price and delivery of the Certificates, but in no event
later than three business days after the date hereof.

3.     Reset Right. In the event that within the twelve months following the
Closing, the Company sells shares of Common Stock in a capital raising
transaction at a price less than $1 per share, the Purchase Price hereunder
shall be adjusted to such per share price (the Adjusted Purchase Price) and
the Company shall issue the Investor additional shares of Common Stock equal to
the number of shares the Investor would have received at the Adjusted Purchase
Price for the Aggregate Purchase Price less the number of Shares the Investor
actually acquired at the Closing. The Company shall not issue any fractional
shares of Common Stock as a result of this paragraph 3. Instead, the number of
shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

4.     Representations and Warranties of Investor. The Investor hereby
represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a) This Agreement has been validly executed and delivered by Investor
(and, if Investor is other than an individual, the execution and delivery of
this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or
partnership action) and is a valid and binding agreement of Investor
enforceable against Investor in accordance with its terms, subject to general
principles of equity and of bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors rights.

or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act or any applicable foreign
rule or law governing the distribution of the Securities. The Securities are
not being purchased for subdivision or fractionalization thereof. The Investor
has no contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with any person or
entity to sell, hypothecate, pledge, donate, or otherwise transfer (with or
without consideration) to any such person or entity any of the Securities for
which the Investor hereby subscribes. The Investor has no present plans or
intention to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement, or
arrangement.

investment matters to be able to evaluate the risk involved in the purchase of
the Securities subscribed for hereby and to make an informed investment
decision with respect to such purchase.

501 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act.

the fairness for public investment, nor any recommendation or endorsement of
the Securities.

(c) The Securities have not been registered under either the Securities
Act or applicable state securities laws (the State Acts) and, therefore,

State Acts or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

(d) The solicitation of this Agreement and the offer and sale of the
Securities are being made by the Company in reliance upon the provisions of
Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
under the Securities Act and the Company is relying on the representations and
