$7,000,000                                          As of November 12, 1999
                                                    Restated on March 24, 2000

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BLONDER TONGUE LABORATORIES, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of FIRST UNION
NATIONAL BANK (the "Bank") on the Termination Date the principal amount of SEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS ($7,000,000) or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal
under the Line of Credit extended under the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan
Agreement dated November 12, 1999 by and between the Borrower and the Bank as
amended by the First Amendment and Waiver to the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan
Agreement dated the date hereof as may be further amended, modified or restated
from time to time (the "Loan Agreement"). Terms capitalized but not defined
herein shall have the meanings given to them respectively in the Loan Agreement.
Reference is made to the Loan Agreement for a statement of the terms and
conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been made, secured, and
may be prepaid or accelerated. This Note amends and restates and replaces (but
does not discharge) the obligations of the Borrower under the Fifth Amended and
Restated Line of Credit Note dated as of November 12, 1999, as such note has
been amended, modified and/or extended.

     Until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) interest shall accrue
on the outstanding principal balance hereof at the rate set forth in the Loan
Agreement. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, counting
the actual number of days elapsed. Subsequent to maturity or the occurrence of
any Event of Default, and continuing after entry of any judgment against the
Borrower with respect to the obligations evidenced by this Note, interest shall
accrue at an annual rate which shall be two percent (2%) above the rate of
interest otherwise payable hereunder. Accrued interest shall be payable monthly
on the first day of each month commencing with the month immediately following
date hereof and if not paid when due, shall be added to the principal. All
amounts payable by the Borrower to the Bank hereunder shall be paid directly to
the Bank at 190 River Road, Summit, New Jersey 07901 (or at such other address
of which the Bank shall give notice to the Borrower in accordance with the Loan
Agreement) in immediately available funds.

     The Borrower hereby waives the requirements of demand, presentment,
protest, notice of protest and dishonor and all other demands or notices of any
kind in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, dishonor
or enforcement of this Note. The internal law of the State of New Jersey shall
govern the construction, interpretation and enforcement of this Note.

     This note amends, restates, replaces and continues (but not a novation or
repayment of) the Fifth Amended and Restated Line of Credit Note dated November
12, 1999.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Borrower
has caused this Note to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the day
and year first above written.

                            STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made as of February 14, 2000 between
SMALL BUSINESS RESOURCES, INC., a Georgia corporation (the "Seller"), and ASTA
FUNDING.COM, LLC (the "Purchaser").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :
                               - - - - - - - - - -

         WHEREAS, the Seller provides online services for small businesses; and

         WHEREAS, the Purchaser has indicated on interest in purchasing
one-third of the capital stock of the Seller and 51% of the Seller's Hispanic
program (the "Transaction"); and

         WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Seller has determined that the
disposition of the capital stock of the Seller pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement are in the best interests of the Seller and its
stockholders; and

         WHEREAS, in furtherance of the consummation of the Transaction and the
other transactions contemplated hereby (the "Other Contemplated Transactions"),
the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement (certain capitalized
terms used herein have the respective meanings set forth in Article IX).

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the
promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                                PURCHASE AND SALE

         SECTION 1.1 Agreement to Sell and Purchase Capital Stock;
Consideration.

         (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller
agrees to sell and the Purchaser agrees to purchase (i) 3,405,183 shares of the
Seller's common stock, (ii) options to purchase 322,500 shares of the Seller's
common stock, exercisable at $.01 per share, on terms substantially similar to
the Seller's presently outstanding options, and (iii) 51% of the Seller's
Hispanic program, when established (the "Purchased Shares"). The options issued
hereunder shall not be exercisable unless any of the presently outstanding
options are exercised and shall terminate to the same extent that any of the
presently outstanding options expire unexercised. The parties hereto agree that
in consideration of the Purchased Shares the Purchaser will invest $750,000 in
the Seller and lend the Seller $1,750,000 (the "Buyer Loans"), to be paid to the
Seller as follows (each a "Closing"): (i) $250,000 as a Buyer Loan to the Seller
on February 14, 2000 (the "Initial Closing"); (ii) $150,000 in cash and $100,000

<PAGE>

as a Buyer Loan to the Seller upon the receipt and review by the Purchaser of
the Schedules, Exhibits, and other documents contemplated by this Agreement to
the Purchaser's satisfaction, but in no event later than February 28, 2000 (the
"Second Closing"), or all further obligations of the Seller and the Purchaser
arising under this Agreement shall terminate; (iii) $300,000 in cash and
$700,000 as a Buyer Loan to the Seller within two months of the Initial Closing;
provided, however, the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser the Tax Returns of
the Seller for fiscal year 1999 (the "Third Closing"); and (iv) $300,000 in cash
and $700,000 as a Buyer Loan to the Seller within six months of the Initial
Closing (the "Fourth Closing"). Of the Buyer Loans, an aggregate of $1,750,000
is to be a loan on the books of the Seller as follows: (i) a $1,500,000 loan to
the Seller; (ii) a $150,000 loan to Women, Inc.Com ("Women, Inc."), a majority
owned subsidiary of the Seller; and (iii) a $100,000 as a loan for use in the
Seller's Hispanic program (the "Hispanic Program," and, together with Women,
Inc., the "Subsidiaries"), which will become a subsidiary of the Seller (the
"Purchase Price").

         (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, an aggregate
of $1,000,000 (the "Seller Loans") paid to the Seller by Robert Boorin and other
principals listed on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto (the "Principals") of the
Seller are loans on the books of the Seller in the amounts listed on Schedule
1.1. The Seller shall agree to repay, pro rata, $500,000 of the aggregate of
$1,000,000 loaned to the Seller by the Principals as follows: (i) $250,000 shall
be repaid within sixty (60) days of the Initial Closing; and (ii) $250,000 shall
be repaid within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Initial Closing. The Buyer
Loans and the Seller Loans shall be evidenced by promissory notes (the "Notes"),
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Buyer Loans to the
Seller will be guaranteed as follows: (i) the Buyer Loan at the Initial Closing
by Robert Boorin, (ii) the Buyer Loans to the Subsidiaries by the Seller, and
(iii) the Buyer Loans to the Seller by the Subsidiaries. The guarantees will be
pursuant to guaranty agreements (the "Guaranty Agreements"), substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

         SECTION 1.2 Closing. Each Closing of the Transaction and the Other
Contemplated Transactions shall take place at the offices of Snow Becker Krauss
P.C., 605 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10158, or at such other place as the
parties hereto shall agree. Each date of each Closing is hereinafter called a
"Closing Date." All events which shall occur at a Closing shall be deemed to
occur simultaneously.

         SECTION 1.3 Right of First Refusal. (a) Should the Seller desire to
offer to issue securities to another purchaser or Robert Boorin, Maurice Heim or
their legatee or legatees, as the case may be (each being referred to herein as
a "Selling Stockholder"), desires to sell or transfer Common Stock that either
Selling Stockholder may now or hereafter own (an "Offer"), the Seller or the
Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, shall, prior to accepting an Offer,
deliver to the Purchaser a written Notice of Bona Fide Offer accompanied by a
duplicate original of a written bona fide offer (the "Bona Fide Offer") setting
forth the name of the proposed purchaser, the purchase price or other
consideration for the Offer and all other terms and conditions of the Offer
signed by the proposed purchaser. For a period of ten (10) business days

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

following delivery of the Notice of Bona Fide Offer, the Purchaser shall have
the right to accept such Offer by delivery of a written Notice of Acceptance to
the Seller or the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be. If the Purchaser
shall reject or not respond to the Bona Fide Offer within the time period
provided, the Seller or the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, may accept
such Offer. The acceptance of an Offer by the Purchaser under this Section 1.3
shall be upon the terms and conditions and at the price specified in the Bona
Fide Offer.

         (b) Should a Selling Stockholder desire to purchase additional shares
of capital stock of the Seller, such Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the
Purchaser a written notice of such Selling Stockholder's intention to purchase
additional shares of the Seller's capital stock setting forth the terms and
conditions of such Selling Stockholder's purchase (the "Stockholder Notice").
Thereafter, and for a period of ten (10) business days after the delivery of the
Stockholder Notice, the Purchaser shall have the right to purchase that amount
of capital stock of the Seller, on the same terms and conditions as stated in
the Stockholder Notice, that would allow the Purchaser to maintain the
Purchaser's ownership interest in the Seller.

         (c) In the event the Seller or a Selling Stockholder, as the case may
be, elects to sell their capital stock pursuant to an Offer not accepted by the

of the Seller are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by or on
behalf of the Seller of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party or the consummation of the Transaction and the Other
Contemplated Transactions. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to
which the Seller is a party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by
the Seller, and (assuming the valid execution and delivery thereof by the other
parties hereto) constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the
Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as
such obligations and their enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy and other similar Laws (as defined herein) affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights generally and except that the availability of equitable
remedies is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
therefor may be brought (whether at law or in equity).

         SECTION 2.3 No Conflicts; Consents and Approvals. Except as set forth
in Schedule 2.3 attached hereto (the "Required Consents"), neither the

such jurisdiction where failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse

is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the property
owned or leased by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification
necessary.

or investigation (an "Asserted Liability") that may result in a Loss, the
Indemnitee shall give prompt notice thereof (the "Claims Notice") to the party
or parties obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3
(the "Indemnifying Party"). The Claims Notice shall describe the Asserted
Liability in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if
necessary, and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be
suffered by the Indemnitee.

         (b) The Indemnifying Party may elect to defend, at its own expense and
with its own counsel satisfactory to Indemnitee, any Asserted Liability, unless
(i) the Asserted Liability seeks an Order, injunction or other equitable or
declaratory relief against the Indemnitee, or (ii) the Indemnitee shall have
reasonably concluded that (x) there is a conflict of interest between the
Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of such defense, or (y) the
Indemnitee shall have one or more defenses not available to the Indemnifying
Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be permitted to
make such election if the Indemnifying Party fails to provide Indemnitee with
evidence reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee that the Indemnifying Party will
have the financial resources to defend against the Asserted Liability and
fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party
elects to defend such Asserted Liability, it shall within thirty (30) calendar
days (or sooner, if the nature of the Asserted Liability so requires) notify the
Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the defense of such Asserted Liability. If

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense against any Asserted Liability it
will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that such
Asserted Liability is within the scope of, and subject to, indemnification. If
the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Asserted Liability, is not
permitted to defend the Asserted Liability by reason of the first sentence of
this Section 7.4(b), fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein
provided or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement with
respect to such Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend
such Asserted Liability at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnitee
may settle or compromise any claim over the reasonable written objection of the
other, provided, however, that the Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim
as to which the Indemnifying Party has failed to notify the Indemnitee of its
election as herein provided or is contesting its indemnification obligations
hereunder. In any event, the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party may
participate, at their own expense, in the defense of such Asserted Liability. If
the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee
shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other
documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.
Any expenses of any Indemnitee for which indemnification is available hereunder
shall be paid upon written demand therefor.

         SECTION 7.5 Payment of Indemnification Amounts. (a) The parties hereto
will act in good faith so that any amounts payable by an Indemnifying Party to
an Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated, for Tax purposes,
as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless a Final Determination with
respect to an Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates causes any such payment not to
be treated as an adjustment to Purchase Price for United States federal income
tax purposes. If such payment cannot be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price for Tax purposes, then such indemnification payment shall be increased to
take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnitee as a result of the
receipt or accrual of such payments.

                  (b)Any amounts payable under this Article VII shall be
calculated after giving effect to any net proceeds actually received from
insurance policies covering the damage, loss, liability or expense that is the
subject to the claim for indemnity.

         SECTION 7.6 Other Remedies. The provisions of this Article VII shall
not restrict or otherwise limit the legal remedies that a party to this
Agreement may seek under applicable law or otherwise for any breaches of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein.
