                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

         This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the ____
day of June, 2003 ("Agreement"), by and between ASTA FUNDING, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Corporation"), and _________________ ("Indemnitee"):

         WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve
corporations as directors, officers, or in other capacities, unless they are
provided with better protection from the risk of claims and actions against them
arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such corporations;
and

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") has
determined that the ability to attract and retain such persons is in the best
interests of the Corporation's shareholders and that such persons should be
assured that they will have better protection in the future; and

         WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Corporation to
obligate itself contractually to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, so that such persons will serve or continue to
serve the Corporation free from undue concern that they will not be adequately
indemnified; and

         WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of
Article Seventh of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the
"Certificate") and Article VIII of the By-Laws of the Corporation (the
"By-Laws"); any rights granted under the Certificate, the By-Laws and any
resolutions adopted pursuant thereto shall not be deemed to be a substitute
therefor nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and

         WHEREAS, Indemnitee may serve, continue to serve and to take on
additional service for or on behalf of the Corporation;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants
contained herein, the Corporation and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as
follows:

         Section 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

         (a) "Change in Control" means a change in control of the Corporation of
a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of
Schedule l4A of Regulation l4A (or in response to any similar item on any
similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Act"), whether or not the Corporation is then subject to such reporting
requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change in
Control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any "person" (as such term is
used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act) is or becomes the "beneficial
owner" (as defined in Rule l3d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Corporation representing 20% or more of the combined voting
power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities without the prior
approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board in office
immediately prior to such person attaining such percentage interest; (ii) the
Corporation is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other
reorganization, or a proxy contest, as a consequence of which members of the
Board in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less
than a majority of the Board thereafter; or (iii) during any period of two
consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted
the Board (including for this purpose any new director whose election or
nomination for election by the Corporation's shareholders was approved by a vote
of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors
at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority of the Board.

<PAGE>

         (b) "Corporate Status" means the status of a person who is or was a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Corporation or any
majority owned subsidiary or of any other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is
or was serving at the request of the Corporation.

         (c) "Disinterested Director" means a director of the Corporation who is
not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is
sought by Indemnitee.

         (d) "Expenses" means all reasonable attorneys' fees, retainers, court
costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses,
duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage,
delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types
customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to
prosecute or defend, investigating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a
Proceeding.

         (e) "Independent Counsel" means a law firm, or a member of a law firm,
that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor
in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Corporation or
Indemnitee in any other matter material to either such party, or (ii) any other
party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Independent Counsel" shall not include
any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then
prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the
Corporation or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee's rights under
this Agreement.

         (f) "Proceeding" means any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute
resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except one
initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement to enforce
his rights under this Agreement.

         Section 2. Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee may at any time and for
any reason resign from any position (subject to any other contractual obligation
or any obligation imposed by operation of law), without affecting the
indemnification hereunder, except as specifically provided in this agreement.

         Section 3. Indemnification - General. The Corporation shall indemnify,
and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee as provided in this Agreement to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and to such
greater extent as applicable law may thereafter from time to time permit. The
rights of Indemnitee provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but
shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections of this
Agreement.

                                       2

         Section 4. Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the
Corporation. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification
provided in this Section if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is
threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending, or completed
Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation.
Pursuant to this Section, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses,
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by his or on his behalf in connection with any such
Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if he acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

         Section 5. Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation.
Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this
Section if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be
made, a party to any threatened, pending, or completed Proceeding brought by or
in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to
this Section, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses, judgments,
penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by his or on his behalf in connection with any such Proceeding if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim,
issue or matter in any such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Corporation if applicable law prohibits such
indemnification unless the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or the court
in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending, shall determine
that indemnification against Expenses may nevertheless be made by the
Corporation.

         Section 6. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or
Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the
extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be
indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by his or on
his behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in
such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more
but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Corporation
shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by his or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim,
issue or matter. For the purposes of this Section and without limiting the
foregoing, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in any such Proceeding
by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful
result as to such claim, issue or matter.

         Section 7. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by
reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding, he shall be
indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by his or on
his behalf in connection therewith.

                                       3

         Section 8. Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation shall advance all
Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any
Proceeding within twenty days after the receipt by the Corporation of a
statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from
time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding.
Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by
or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately
be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such
Expenses.

         Section 9. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to
Indemnification.

         (a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in connection with
any Proceeding, and for the duration thereof, Indemnitee shall submit to the
Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation
and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably
necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification. The Secretary of the Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt
of any such request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that
Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

         (b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to
Section 9(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with
respect to Indemnitee's entitlement thereto shall be made in such case: (i) if a
Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel (unless Indemnitee
shall request that such determination be made by the Board or the shareholders,
in which case in the manner provided for in clauses (ii) or (iii) of this
Section 9(b)) in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be
delivered to Indemnitee; (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred,
(A) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested
Directors, or (B) if a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors
is not obtainable, or even if such quorum is obtainable, if such quorum of
Disinterested Directors so directs, either (x) by Independent Counsel in a
written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee,
or (y) by the shareholders of the Corporation, as determined by such quorum of
Disinterested Directors, or a quorum of the Board, as the case may be; or (iii)
as provided in Section 10(b) of this Agreement. If it is so determined that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made
within twenty (20) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate
with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to
Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person,
persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or
information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and
which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such
determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons
or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Corporation
(irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee's entitlement to
indemnification) and the Corporation hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold
Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

         (c) If required, Independent Counsel shall be selected as follows: (i)
if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, Independent Counsel shall be
selected by the Board, and the Corporation shall give written notice to
Indemnitee advising him of the identity of Independent Counsel so selected; or
(ii) if a Change of Control shall have occurred, Independent Counsel shall be
selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be
made by the Board, in which event (i) shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give
written notice to the Corporation advising it of the identity of Independent
Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Corporation, as the case
may be, may within seven (7) days after such written notice of selection shall
have been given, deliver to the Corporation or to Indemnitee, as the case may
be, a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only
on the grounds that Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the
requirements of "Independent Counsel" as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement,
and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such
assertion. If such written objection is made, Independent Counsel so selected
may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until a court has determined
that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 (twenty) days after
submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to
Section 9(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not
objected to, either the Corporation or Indemnitee may petition the Chancery
Court of the State of Delaware, or other court of competent jurisdiction, for
resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Corporation or
Indemnitee to the other's selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the
appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such
other person as such court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom
an objection is so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent
Counsel under Section 9(b) hereof. The Corporation shall pay any and all
reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent
Counsel in connection with its actions pursuant to this Agreement, and the
Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the
procedures of this Section 9(c), regardless of the manner in which such
Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. Upon the due commencement date of
any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) of this
Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further
responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of
professional conduct then prevailing).

         Section 10. Presumption and Effects of Certain Proceedings.

         (a) If a Change of Control shall have occurred, in making a
determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the
person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has
submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 9(a) of this
Agreement, and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that
presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of
any determination contrary to that presumption.

         (b) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under
Section 9 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification shall not have made a determination within 60 (sixty) days after
receipt by the Corporation of the request therefor, the requisite determination
of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and
Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement
by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to
make Indemnitee's statement not materially misleading, in connection with the
request for indemnification, or (ii) prohibition of such indemnification under
applicable law; provided, however, that such 60 (sixty)-day period may be
extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 (thirty) days, if
the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to
entitlement to indemnification in good faith require(s) such additional time for
the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating
thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section
10(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification
is to be made by the shareholders pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement and
if (A) within 15 (fifteen) days after receipt by the Corporation of the request
for such determination the Board has resolved to submit such determination to
the shareholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held
within 75 (seventy-five) days after such receipt and such determination is made
thereat, or (B) a special meeting of shareholders is called within 15 (fifteen)
days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such
meeting is held for such purpose within 60 (sixty) days after having been so
called and such determination is made thereat, or (ii) if the determination of
entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to
Section 9(b) of this Agreement.

         Section 11. Remedies of Indemnitee.

         (a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 9
of this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to
Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) the determination of entitlement to
indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b) of
this Agreement and such determination shall not have been made and delivered in
a written opinion within 90 (ninety) days after receipt by the Corporation of
the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made
pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by
the Corporation of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification
is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to
have been made pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall
be entitled to an adjudication in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware,
or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his entitlement to such
indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his
option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator
in Delaware. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication
or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which
Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this
Section 11(a). The Corporation shall not oppose Indemnitee's right to seek any
such adjudication or award in arbitration.

         (b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to
Section 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification,
any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section shall
be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial or arbitration on the merits and
Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. If a
Change of Control shall have occurred in any judicial proceeding or arbitration
commenced pursuant to this Section, the Corporation shall have the burden of
proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of
Expenses, as the case may be.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         (c) If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made
pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any
judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section, absent
(i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a
material fact necessary to make Indemnitee's statement not materially
misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii)
prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

         (d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section, seeks a
judicial adjudication of, or an award in arbitration to enforce, his rights
under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be
entitled to recover from the Corporation, and shall be indemnified by the
Corporation against, any and all expenses (of the kinds described in the
definition of Expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial
adjudication or arbitration, but only if he prevails therein. If it shall be
determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is
entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of
expenses sought, the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such
judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated.

         Section 12. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance;
Subrogation.

         (a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of
Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable
law, the Certificate or By-Laws, any agreement, a vote of shareholders for a
resolution of directors, or otherwise. No termination of this Agreement pursuant
to Section 13 herein shall be effective as to any Indemnitee with respect to any
action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such
termination, and he shall continue to be fully indemnified for such actions or
omissions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         (b) To the extent that the Corporation maintains an insurance policy or
policies (an "O&D Policy") providing liability insurance for directors,
officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Corporation or of any other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Corporation,
Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or
their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary under such policy or policies.

         (c) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Corporation
shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of
recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all
action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as
are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights.

                                       7
<PAGE>

         (d) The Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make
any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent
that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance
policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

         Section 13. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until
and terminate upon the later of (a) three (3) years after the date that
Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or
fiduciary of the Corporation or of any other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee
served at the request of the Corporation; or (b) the final termination of all
pending Proceedings in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of
indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding
commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement. This Agreement
shall be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his heirs, executors and administrators.

         Section 14. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this
Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason
whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any
Section of this Agreement) containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable)
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest
extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such
provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself
invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall be construed so as to give effect to the
intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

         Section 15. Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of
Expenses. Except as provided in Section 11(d), Indemnitee shall not be entitled
to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect
to any Proceeding, or any claim therein, brought or made by him against the
Corporation.

         Section 16. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be
an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom
enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this
Agreement.

         Section 17. Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of
this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

         Section 18. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or
amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both
of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement

                  2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Buyer
represents and warrants to the Company solely as to such Buyer that:

                           a. Investment Purpose. As of the date hereof, the
Buyer is purchasing the Debentures and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Debentures (including, without
limitation, such additional shares of Common Stock, if any, as are issuable as a
result of the events described in the Debenture (including without limitation
Section 1.6 of the Debenture) and Section 2(b) of the Registration Rights
Agreement, such shares of Common Stock being referred to herein as the
"Conversion Shares"), the Shares and the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise thereof (the "Warrant Shares") for its own account and
not with a present view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except
pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the 1933 Act;
provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Buyer, subject
to any agreement to the contrary executed simultaneously herewith, does not
agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and
reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with
or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.

                           b. Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an
"accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (an
"Accredited Investor") for the reasons checked on Schedule 1 hereto.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                           c. Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that
the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of,
and the Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Buyer
to acquire the Securities.

                           d. Information. The Buyer and its advisors, if any,
have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and
operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the
Securities which have been requested by the Buyer or its advisors. The Buyer and
its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the
Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation
conducted by Buyer or any of its advisors or representatives shall modify, amend
or affect Buyer's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties
contained in Section 3 below. The Buyer understands that its investment in the
Securities involves a significant degree of risk.

                           e. Governmental Review. The Buyer understands that no
United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the
Securities.

                           f. Transfer or Re-sale. The Buyer understands that
(i) except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the sale or re-sale
of the Securities has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or
any applicable state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred
unless (a) the Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the 1933 Act, (b) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company
an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope
customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that
the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to
an exemption from such registration, (c) the Securities are sold or transferred
to an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a
successor rule) ("Rule 144")) of the Buyer who agrees to sell or otherwise
transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section 2(f) and who is an
Accredited Investor, or (d) the Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144; (ii)
any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in
accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not
applicable, any re-sale of such Securities under circumstances in which the
seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an
underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance
with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the
SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any
obligation to register such Securities under the 1933 Act or any state
securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption
thereunder (in each case, other than pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to
the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a
bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

                           g. Legends. The Buyer understands that the Debentures
and the Warrants and, until such time as the Conversion Shares, the Shares and
Warrant Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144
without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date
that can then be immediately sold, the Conversion Shares, the Shares and Warrant
Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a
stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such
Securities):

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  "The securities represented by this certificate have not been
                  registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
                  securities may not be sold, transferred or assigned in the
                  absence of an effective registration statement for the
                  securities under said Act, or an opinion of counsel, in form,
                  substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in
                  comparable transactions, that registration is not required
                  under said Act or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 under said
                  Act."

         The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue
a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is
stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a)
such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement
filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without
any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can
then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an
opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of
counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer
of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, including
pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 and such sale or transfer is effected.
The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a
certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with
applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any.

                           h. Authorization; Enforcement. The Transaction
Documents have been duly and validly authorized. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered on behalf of the Buyer, and this Agreement constitutes,
and upon execution and delivery by the Buyer of the Transaction Documents, such
agreements will constitute, valid and binding agreements of the Buyer
enforceable in accordance with their terms.

                           i. Residency. The Buyer is a resident of the
jurisdiction set forth immediately below such Buyer's name on the signature
pages hereto.

                           j. Other Buyers. The Buyer expressly acknowledges and
agrees that the interests under the Transaction Documents of any other buyers
who purchase Debentures, Shares and Warrants pursuant to agreements
substantially identical to this Agreement on or before March 31, 2003 (the
"Outside Closing Date"), shall be pari passu in all respects to the Buyer's
interest thereunder.

                  3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company
represents and warrants to Buyer that:

                           a. Organization and Qualification. The Company and
each of its Subsidiaries (as defined below), if any, is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, with full power and authority
(corporate and other) to own, lease, use and operate its properties and to carry
on its business as and where now owned, leased, used, operated and conducted.
Schedule 3(a) sets forth a list of all of the Subsidiaries of the Company and
the jurisdiction in which each is incorporated. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in
good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership or use of property or
the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary
except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. "Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse
effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition or prospects of
the Company or its Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole, or on the
transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements or instruments to be
entered into in connection herewith. "Subsidiaries" means any corporation or
other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, in which the Company
owns, directly or indirectly, any equity or other ownership interest.

by the Company's Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of
the Company, its Board of Directors, or its shareholders is required, (iii) this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and (iv) this
Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery by the Company of the
Transaction Documents, the Debentures, the Shares and the Warrants, each of such

Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

                           c. Capitalization. As of the date hereof, the
authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 50,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, of which 19,437,288 shares are issued and outstanding, (excluding
shares which may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's stock option
plans and any Shares which may be issued to any other Buyers of the Debentures),
6,441,133 shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to securities (other than
the Debentures and the Warrants) exercisable for, or convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock and 9,692,314 shares are reserved for
issuance upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants (subject
to adjustment pursuant to the Company's covenant set forth in Section 4(h)
below) (assuming sale of all of the Debentures); and (ii) 0 shares of preferred
stock. All of such outstanding shares of capital stock are, or upon issuance
will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. No
shares of capital stock of the Company are subject to preemptive rights or any
other similar rights of the stockholders of the Company or any liens or
encumbrances imposed through the actions or failure to act of the Company.
Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(c), as of the effective date of this
Agreement, (i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to
subscribe for, puts, calls, rights of first refusal, agreements, understandings,
claims or other commitments or rights of any character whatsoever relating to,
or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of
capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or arrangements by
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue
additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
(ii) there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of its or their
securities under the 1933 Act (except the Registration Rights Agreement) and
(iii) there are no anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any
security issued by the Company (or in any agreement providing rights to security
holders) that will be triggered by the issuance of the Debentures, the Shares,
the Warrants, the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares. The Company has furnished
to the Buyer true and correct copies of the Company's Articles of Incorporation
as in effect on the date hereof ("Certificate of Incorporation"), the Company's
By-laws, as in effect on the date hereof (the "By-laws"), and the terms of all
securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock of the Company and
the material rights of the holders thereof in respect thereto. The Company shall
provide the Buyer with a written update of this representation signed by the
Company's Chief Executive or Chief Financial Officer on behalf of the Company as

                           d. Issuance of Shares. The Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares are (or shall be) duly authorized and reserved for issuance and,
upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants in accordance
with their respective terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and

<PAGE>

                           e. Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company
understands and acknowledges the potentially dilutive effect to the Common Stock
upon the issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon conversion of
the Debenture, or exercise of the Warrants. The Company further acknowledges
that its obligation to issue the Shares and the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants in
accordance with this Agreement, is absolute and unconditional regardless of the
dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other
stockholders of the Company.

                           f. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and
performance of the Transaction Documents, the Debentures, the Shares and the
Warrants by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and
reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) will not
(i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation or By-laws or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a
breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with
notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others
any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any
agreement, indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state
securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory
organizations to which the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such
conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation
of its Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents
and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event
has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both could put the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action that would
give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible
defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, are not
being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as a Buyer owns any of the
Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental
entity where such violation would have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as
specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act
and any applicable state securities laws, the Company is not required to obtain
any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with,
any court, governmental agency, regulatory agency, self regulatory organization
or stock market or any third party in order for it to execute, deliver or
perform any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Debentures,
the Shares or the Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or to
issue and sell the Debentures, the Shares and Warrants in accordance with the
terms hereof and to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the
Debentures and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. Except as
disclosed in Schedule 3(f), all consents, authorizations, orders, filings and
registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding
sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof. The
Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") and, except in connection with a transfer of the
listing on the Common Stock on AMEX or NASDAQ does not reasonably anticipate
that the Common Stock will be delisted by the OTCBB in the foreseeable future.
The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which
might give rise to any of the foregoing.

                           g. SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Except as
disclosed on Schedule 3(g), since at least January 1, 2002, the Company has
timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") (all of the foregoing
filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial
statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits to such
documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to
herein as the "SEC Documents"). As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the
rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC
Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the
SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has
been, required to be amended or updated under applicable law (except for such
statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior to the
date hereof). As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may
be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or
(ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not
include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present
in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and
its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated
results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject,
in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).
Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the
SEC Documents, the Company has no material liabilities, contingent or otherwise,
other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business
subsequent to September 30, 2002 (ii) liabilities set forth on Schedule 3(g) and
(iii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary
course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting
principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which, individually or
in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating
results of the Company.

                           h. Absence of Certain Changes. Since September 30,
2002, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse
development in the assets, liabilities, business, properties, operations,
financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.

                           i. Absence of Litigation. Except as disclosed in the
SEC Documents and Schedule 3(i) hereto, there is no action, suit, claim,
proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board,
government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or
affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their officers or directors
in their capacity as such, that could have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which
might give rise to any of the foregoing.

                           j. Patents, Copyrights, etc. The Company and each of
its Subsidiaries owns or possesses the requisite licenses or rights to use all
patents, patent applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade
secrets, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade
names and copyrights ("Intellectual Property") necessary to enable it to conduct
its business as now operated (and, except as set forth in Schedule 3(j) hereof,
to the best of the Company's knowledge, as presently contemplated to be operated
in the future); there is no claim or action by any person pertaining to, or
proceeding pending, or to the Company's knowledge threatened, which challenges
the right of the Company or of a Subsidiary with respect to any Intellectual
Property necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now operated (and,
except as set forth in Schedule 3(j) hereof, to the best of the Company's
knowledge, as presently contemplated to be operated in the future); to the best
of the Company's knowledge, the Company's or its Subsidiaries' current and
intended products, services and processes do not infringe on any Intellectual
Property or other rights held by any person; and the Company is unaware of any
facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to
protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of their Intellectual Property.

                           k. No Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any charter, corporate or
other legal restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation
which in the judgment of the Company's officers has or is expected in the future
to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party to any contract or agreement which in the judgment of
the Company's officers has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                           l. Tax Status. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(l),
the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal, state
and foreign income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required
by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that
the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has
paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material
in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on
its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for
periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations
apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the
taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no
basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to
the statute of limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any
foreign, federal, state or local tax. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(l), none
of the Company's tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority.

                           m. Certain Transactions. Except as set forth on
Schedule 3(m) and except for arm's length transactions pursuant to which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes payments in the ordinary course of
business upon terms no less favorable than the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries could obtain from third parties and other than the grant of stock
options disclosed on Schedule 3(c), none of the officers, directors, or
employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees,
officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement
providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real
or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any
officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, director,
or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee or partner.

                           n. Disclosure. All information relating to or
concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries set forth in this Agreement
and provided to the Buyers pursuant to Section 2(d) hereof and otherwise in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct in all
material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No event or
circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, prospects, operations or
financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires
public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so
publicly announced or disclosed (assuming for this purpose that the Company's
reports filed under the 1934 Act are being incorporated into an effective
registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act).

                           o. Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer's Purchase of
Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer is acting solely
in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that the
Buyer is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and any statement made by the Buyer or any of its respective
representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation and is merely incidental
to the Buyer's purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the
Buyer that the Company's decision to enter into this Agreement has been based
solely on the independent evaluation of the Company and its representatives.

                           p. 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 in any security or solicited any
offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration
under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Buyer. The issuance
of the Securities to the Buyer will not be integrated with any other issuance of
the Company's securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any
stockholder approval provisions applicable to the Company or its securities.

                           q. No Brokers. Except as provided in Section 1(b)
hereof, the Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by
any person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or similar payments
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

                           r. Permits; Compliance. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations,
licenses, permits, easements, variances, exemptions, consents, certificates,
approvals and orders necessary to own, lease and operate its properties and to
carry on its business as it is now being conducted (collectively, the "Company
Permits"), and there is no action pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened regarding suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in
default or violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such
conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since September
30, 2002, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any
notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults or violations of
applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults or
violations, which conflicts, defaults or violations would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.

                           s. Title to Property. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property
and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is
material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free
and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in
Schedule 3(s) or such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real
property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are
held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions
as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

                           t. Insurance. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility
against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company
believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and
its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance
coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       9
<PAGE>

                           u. Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each
of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient, in the judgment of the Company's board of directors, to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability,
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general
or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences.

                           v. Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company,
nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other
person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of
his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any
unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating
to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any
foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds;
violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence
payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic
government official or employee.

                           w. No Investment Company. The Company is not, and
upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement
will not be an "investment company" required to be registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (an "Investment Company"). The Company is not
controlled by an Investment Company.

                           x. Reverse Split Limitation. In connection with the
Paulson Offering, the Company shall not reverse split its Common Stock in a
ratio greater then one-for-fifteen, provided, however, at the written request of
Paulson for the sole purpose of meeting the minimum listing requirements of the
Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the American Stock
Exchange, the ratio may be increased up to one-for-thirty.

                  4. COVENANTS.

                           a. Best Efforts. The parties shall use their best
efforts to satisfy timely each of the conditions described in Section 6 and 7 of
this Agreement.

                           b. Form D; Blue Sky Laws. The Company agrees to file
a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to
provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing. The Company
shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the
Buyer at the applicable closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable
securities or "blue sky" laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain
an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such
action so taken to the Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.

                           c. Reporting Status; Eligibility to Use Form S-3. The
Company's Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act. So
long as any Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall
timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934
Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to
file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder would permit such termination. Henceforth, the Company
will take all necessary action to meet, the "registrant requirements" set forth
in the general instructions to Form S-3.

                                       10

                           d. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the
proceeds from the sale of the Debentures, the Shares and the Warrants in the
manner set forth in Schedule 4(d) attached hereto and made a part hereof and
shall not, directly or indirectly, use such proceeds for any repayment of debt,
loan to or investment in any other corporation, partnership, enterprise or other
person (except in connection with its currently existing direct or indirect
Subsidiaries).

                           e. Future Offerings. Subject to the exceptions
described below, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of a
majority-in-interest of the Buyers, negotiate or contract with any party to
obtain additional equity financing (including debt financing with an equity
component) that involves (A) the issuance of Common Stock at a discount to the
market price of the Common Stock on the date of issuance (taking into account
the value of any warrants or options to acquire Common Stock issued in
connection therewith) or (B) the issuance of convertible securities that are
convertible into an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock or (C) the
issuance of warrants during the period (the "Lock-up Period") beginning on the
Closing Date and ending on the later of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days from
the Closing Date and (ii) one hundred fifty (150) days from the date the
Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is
declared effective (plus any days in which sales cannot be made thereunder). In
addition, subject to the exceptions described below, the Company will not
conduct any equity financing (including debt with an equity component) ("Future
Offerings") during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the
date on which there is no longer any amount outstanding on the Debentures (the
"Future Offering Period"), unless it shall have first delivered to each Buyer,
at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the closing of such Future
Offering, written notice describing the proposed Future Offering, including the
terms and conditions thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be entered
into in connection therewith, and providing each Buyer an option during the ten
(10) business day period following delivery of such notice to purchase its pro
rata share (based on the ratio that the aggregate principal amount of Debentures
purchased by it hereunder bears to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures
purchased hereunder) of the securities being offered in the Future Offering on
the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering (the limitations referred
to in this sentence and the preceding sentence are collectively referred to as
the "Capital Raising Limitations"). In the event the terms and conditions of a
proposed Future Offering are amended in any respect after delivery of the notice
to the Buyers concerning the proposed Future Offering, the Company shall deliver
a new notice to each Buyer describing the amended terms and conditions of the
proposed Future Offering and each Buyer thereafter shall have an option during
the ten (10) business day period following delivery of such new notice to
purchase its pro rata share of the securities being offered on the same terms as
contemplated by such proposed Future Offering, as amended. The foregoing
sentence shall apply to successive amendments to the terms and conditions of any
proposed Future Offering. The Capital Raising Limitations shall not apply to any
transaction involving (i) issuances of securities in a firm commitment
underwritten public offering (an "Underwritten Offering") (excluding a
continuous offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the 1933 Act), (ii) issuance of
any Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents, or (iii) issuances of
securities as consideration for a merger, consolidation or purchase of assets,
or in connection with any strategic partnership or joint venture (the primary
purpose of which is not to raise equity capital), or in connection with the
disposition or acquisition of a business, product or license by the Company. The
Capital Raising Limitations also shall not apply to the issuance of securities
upon exercise or conversion of the Company's options, warrants or other
convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof or issued hereinafter
in an Underwritten Offering or pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the grant
of additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities,
under any Company stock option or restricted stock plan approved by the
Stockholders of the Company, or the transactions referred to in clauses (A), (B)
and (C) of this Section 4(e), where the price per share or the exercise price is
not less than the price per share or the exercise price of this financing. In
the event that, during the Future Offering Period, the Company completes a
Future Offering on terms more favorable than the transaction contemplated
hereby, the terms of the Debentures, Shares and the Warrants will be amended to
reflect such more favorable terms.

                           f.  Expenses.   [Intentionally Omitted]

                           g. Financial Information. The Company agrees to send
the following reports to the Buyer until the Buyer transfers, assigns, or sells
all of its Securities: (i) within ten (10) days after the filing with the SEC, a
copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB
and any Current Reports on Form 8-K; (ii) within one (1) day after release,
copies of all press releases issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
and (iii) contemporaneously with the making available or giving to the
stockholders of the Company, copies of any notices or other information the
Company makes available or gives to such stockholders.

                           h. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all
times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the full conversion or exercise
of the outstanding Debentures and Warrants and issuance of the Conversion Shares
and Warrant Shares in connection therewith (based on the Conversion Price of the
Debentures or Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect from time to time) and as
otherwise required by the Debentures. The Company shall not reduce the number of
shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of Debentures and
exercise of the Warrants without the consent of each Buyer. The Company shall
use its best efforts at all times to maintain the number of shares of Common
Stock so reserved for issuance at no less than the greater of (a) 9,692,314 or
(b) two (2) times the number that is then actually issuable upon full conversion
of the Debentures and upon exercise of the Warrants (based on the Conversion
Price of the Debentures or the Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect from
time to time). If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized
and reserved for issuance is below the number of Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the
Warrants (based on the Conversion Price of the Debentures or the Exercise Price
of the Warrants then in effect), the Company will promptly take all corporate
action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares,
including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to
authorize additional shares to meet the Company's obligations under this Section
4(h), in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its
best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized
number of shares.

                           i. No Further Issuances of Additional Securities.
Except as to those transactions to which the Capital Raising Limitations do not
apply (which this Section shall not prohibit) until such time as the Buyers
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and the Company has
transferred the Cash Collateral to the Cash Collateral Escrow Agent (as those
terms are defined in the Cash Collateral Escrow Agreement of even date
herewith), the Company shall not, without the Buyers' written consent, issue, or
cause the issuance of, any securities of the Company except pursuant to an
employee stock option plan or other agreement with an employee in existence on
or committed as of January 30, 2003.

                           j. Listing. The Company shall and, so long as any
Buyer owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common
Stock on the OTCBB, the Nasdaq National Market ("Nasdaq"), the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market ("Nasdaq SmallCap"), the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), or the
American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") 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") and such exchanges, as
applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to each Buyer copies of any
notices it receives from the OTCBB and any other exchanges or quotation systems
on which the Common Stock is then listed regarding the continued eligibility of
the Common Stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.

                                       12
<PAGE>

                           k. Corporate Existence. Unitl such date on which
there is no longer any amounts outstanding on the Debentures, the Company shall
maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of
the Company's assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale
of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, where the surviving or
successor entity in such transaction assumes the Company's obligations hereunder
and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith.

                           l. No Integration. The Company shall not make any
offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances
that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold
hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be
integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose
of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its
securities.

                           m. Binding Agreement. By execution of this Agreement,
Buyer and Company shall be entitled to any and all benefits, and subject to any
and all obligations, of the Transaction Documents, whether or not a signatory
thereto.

                  5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. The Company shall issue
irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered
in the name of each Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the
Company upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants in
accordance with the terms thereof (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions"). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares (and the Shares) under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares (and the Shares) may be sold pursuant to Rule 144
without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date
that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the
restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company
warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to
give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number
of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will
be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall
otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and
to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer's obligations and
agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If a
Buyer provides the Company with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and
scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a
public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration
under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer
provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule
144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or
more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such
denominations as specified by such Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach
by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by
vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its
obligations under this Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of
a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section,
that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies,
to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required.

obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Debentures, the Shares
and Warrants to a Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or
before the Closing Date of each of the following conditions thereto, provided
that these conditions are for the Company's sole benefit and may be waived by
the Company at any time in its sole discretion:

                           c. A Buyer shall have executed a lock-up agreement

percent (50%) of its Shares, and for a period not to exceed one hundred and
eighty (180) days from the Paulson Registration Statement Effective Date
covering the other fifty percent (50%) of its Shares, and its Conversion Shares
and Warrant Shares; provided, however, in no event shall the Paulson Lock-Up
Agreement be more restrictive than that offered to any of the Company's
officers, directors or holders of five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding
shares of the Company's Common Stock. In addition, if Paulson consents to any
less restrictive modification or waiver of the terms of any such agreement with
one or more of the Company's officers, directors or holders of five percent (5%)
or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, then the
Paulson Lock-Up Agreement shall be similarly modified or waived.

                           d. The representations and warranties of the
applicable Buyer shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the

applicable Buyer shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material
respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this

executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered,

transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  7. CONDITIONS TO EACH BUYER'S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE. The
obligation of the Buyer to purchase the Debentures, the Shares and Warrants at
the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date of
each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for the
Buyer's sole benefit and may be waived by the Buyer at any time in its sole
discretion:

                           a. The Company shall have executed the Transaction
Documents and delivered the same to the Buyer.

and warranties that speak as of a specific date) and the Company shall have
performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants,
agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied
or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall
have received a certificate or certificates, executed by the chief executive
officer of the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, to the foregoing effect
and as to such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Buyer
including, but not limited to certificates with respect to the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws and Board of Directors' resolutions
relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

assigns. Neither the Company nor the Buyer shall assign this Agreement or any

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 2(f), the Buyer may assign its

transaction from the Buyer or to any of its "affiliates," as that term is
defined under the 1934 Act, without the consent of the Company.

the Company and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 3, 4, 5 and 8
shall survive the Closing hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence
investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Buyer. The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and all its officers, directors, employees
and agents for loss or damage arising as a result of or related to any breach or
alleged breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties and
covenants set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof or any of its covenants and
obligations under the Transaction Documents, including advancement of expenses
as they are incurred. The Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the

releases, SEC, OTCBB or NASD filings, or any other public statements with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the
Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Buyer, to make any
press release or SEC, OTCBB (or other applicable trading market) or NASD filings
with respect to such transactions as is required by applicable law and
regulations (although the Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection
with any such press release prior to its release and shall be provided with a
copy thereof and be given an opportunity to comment thereon); it being agreed
that this Section 8(j) shall not apply to the Paulson Registration Statement.

                                       17
<PAGE>

                           k. Confidentiality. The Company agrees that it will
not disclose, and will not include in any public announcement, the name of the
Buyer, unless expressly agreed to by the Buyer or unless and until such
disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the
extent of such requirement. The Buyer agrees that it will not disclose (i) any
of the material terms of the Transaction Documents to any third party (other
than the Buyer's investment advisors, attorneys or accountants) without the
express written consent of Company unless such information is otherwise publicly
available, and (ii) at any time prior to the filing of the Paulson Registration
Statement the fact that the Company has any intention to file the Paulson
Registration Statement.

                           l. Further Assurances. Each party shall do and
perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things,
and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates,
instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to
carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                           m. No Strict Construction. The language used in this
Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express
their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against
any party.

                           n. Remedies. The Company acknowledges that a breach
by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer by
vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its
obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of
a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this
Agreement, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable
herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any
breach of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
hereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or
other security being required.

Agreement or Debentures.

         2. REGISTRATION.

                  a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare, and, on
or prior to the tenth (10th) business day following a declaration of
effectiveness by the SEC of the Paulson Registration Statement (the "Filing
Date"), file with the SEC a Resale Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if
Form S-3 is not then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is
then available to effect a registration of the Registrable Securities, subject
to the consent of the Buyers, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld),
which such Resale Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the 1933
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416),
shall state that such Resale Registration Statement also covers such
indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable
upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Debentures and exercise of the
Warrants (i) to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or
similar transactions or (ii) by reason of changes in the Conversion Price of the
Debentures in accordance with the terms thereof or the exercise price of the
Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 2(a), the Company shall file with the SEC a
Resale Registration Statement no later than July 15, 2003, subject to the
Company's failure to file the Paulson Registration Statement on or before April
15, 2003, in which case the Company shall file the Resale Registration Statement
on or before June 1, 2003 (the "Mandatory Filing Date"); provided, however, in
the event the Paulson Registration Statement is withdrawn, the Company shall
have a period of ninety (90) days from the date of such withdrawal to file the
Resale Registration Statement.

                  b. Payments by the Company. The Company shall use its best
efforts to obtain effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement as soon as
practicable. If (i) the Resale Registration Statement is not filed by the Filing
Date or the Mandatory Filing Date, as the case may be, or declared effective by
the SEC on or prior to one hundred and twenty (120) days after filing the Resale
Registration Statement with the SEC, then the Company will make payments to the
Buyers in such amounts and at such times as shall be determined pursuant to this
Section 2(b) as partial relief for the damages to the Buyers by reason of any
such delay in their ability to sell the Registrable Securities (which remedy
shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity). The
Company shall pay to each holder of the Debentures or Registrable Securities an
amount equal to three percent (3%) per month of the then outstanding principal
amount of the Debentures (and, in the case of holders of Registrable Securities,
the principal amount of Debentures from which such Registrable Securities were
converted) ("Outstanding Principal Amount") multiplied by the number of months
(prorated for partial months) after the Filing Date (or Mandatory Filing Date)
or the end of the aforementioned one hundred and twenty (120) day period and
prior to the date the Resale Registration Statement is declared effective by the
SEC, provided, however, that there shall be excluded from such period any delays
which are solely attributable to changes required by the Buyers in the Resale
Registration Statement with respect to information relating to the Buyers,
including, without limitation, changes to the plan of distribution, or to the
failure of the Buyers to conduct their review of the Registration Statement
pursuant to Section 3(g) below in a reasonably prompt manner. Any payments due
pursuant to this Section 2(b) may be paid by the Company in cash or shares of
the Company's Common Stock at the option of the Buyers. If the Buyers elect to
receive payment in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be issued at the
Conversion Price (as that term is defined in the Debenture).

                                       4

         3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.

         In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the
Company shall have the following obligations:

                  a. The Company shall prepare promptly, and file with the SEC
not later than the Filing Date (or Mandatory Filing Date), a Resale Registration
Statement with respect to the number of Registrable Securities provided in
Section 2(a), and thereafter use its best efforts to cause such Resale
Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective as
soon as possible after such filing but in no event later than one hundred and
twenty (120) days after filing the Resale Registration Statement with the SEC,
and keep the Resale Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 until
March 31, 2005 (the "Registration Period"), which Resale Registration Statement
(including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained
therein) shall 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.

                  b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Resale
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Resale
Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Resale Registration
Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during
such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Resale
Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities
have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by
the Buyers as set forth in the Resale Registration Statement. In the event the
number of shares available under the Resale Registration Statement filed
pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable
Securities, the Company shall amend the Resale Registration Statement, or file a
new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefore, if
applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities, in each
case, as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty (20) business days
after the necessity therefor arises (based on the market price of the Common
Stock and other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably elects to
rely). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any amendment to the
Resale Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable
following the filing thereof, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the
date on which the Company reasonably first determines (or reasonably should have
determined) the need therefor. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause
any new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable
following the filing thereof, but in any event within one hundred and twenty
(120) days after the date on which the Company reasonably first determines (or
reasonably should have determined) the need therefor. The provisions of Section
2(b) above shall be applicable with respect to such obligation.

                  c. The Company shall furnish to legal counsel for the Buyers
(i) promptly (but in no event more than two (2) business days) after the same is
prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the
Company, one copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each
preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto,
and, in the case of the Resale Registration Statement referred to in Section
2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff
of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the
SEC, in each case relating to such Resale Registration Statement (other than any
portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has
sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto
and such other documents as such Buyers may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Buyers.
The Company will immediately notify each Buyer by facsimile of the effectiveness
of each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment. The Company will
promptly respond (but in no event more than ten (10) business days) to any and
all comments received from the SEC (which comments shall promptly be made
available to the Buyers upon request), with a view towards causing each
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the
SEC as soon as practicable, shall promptly file an acceleration request as soon
as practicable (but in no event more than three (3) business days) following the
resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following
notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto will not be subject to review and shall promptly file with the SEC a
final prospectus as soon as practicable (but in no event more than two (2)
business days) following receipt by the Company from the SEC of an order
declaring the Registration Statement effective. In the event of a breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section 3(c), the Company will be required to
make payments pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  d. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to (i) register
and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement
under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the
United States as the Buyers who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable
Securities being offered reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file in those
jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to
maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take
such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and
qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv)
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the
Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (a) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (b) subject itself
to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (c) file a general consent to
service of process in any such jurisdiction, (d) provide any undertakings that
cause the Company undue expense or burden, or (e) make any change in its charter
or bylaws, which in each case the Board of Directors of the Company determines
to be contrary to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

                  e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such
event, the Company shall notify each Buyer of the happening of any event, of
which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in
any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and use its best
efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to any Registration
Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number
of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Buyer as such Buyer may
reasonably request; provided that, for not more than thirty (30) consecutive
trading days (or a total of not more than forty-five (45) trading days in any
twelve (12) month period), the Company may delay the disclosure of material
non-public information concerning the Company (as well as prospectus or
Registration Statement updating) the disclosure of which at the time is not, in
the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company (an
"Allowed Delay"); provided, further, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify
the Buyers in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior
written consent of the Buyers, shall the Company disclose to such Buyers any of
the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public information giving
rise to an Allowed Delay and (ii) advise the Buyers in writing to cease all
sales under such Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay. Upon
expiration of the Allowed Delay, the Company shall again be bound by the first
sentence of this Section 3(e) with respect to the information giving rise
thereto.

                  f. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the
issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any
Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the
withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and to notify each
Buyers who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an
underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order
and the resolution thereof.

                                       6

                  g. The Company shall permit a single firm or counsel
designated by the Buyers to review such Resale Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or
effectiveness thereof) a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with
the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably
objects and will not request acceleration of such Resale Registration Statement
without prior notice to such counsel. The sections of such Resale Registration
Statement covering information with respect to the Buyers, the Buyer's
beneficial ownership of securities of the Company or the Buyers intended method
of disposition of Registrable Securities shall conform to the information
provided to the Company by each of the Buyers.

                  h. At the request of the Buyer, the Company shall make
available for inspection by (i) any Buyers, and (ii) Buyers legal counsel,
(collectively, the "Inspectors") all pertinent financial and other records, and
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the
"Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector to enable
each Inspector to exercise its due diligence responsibility, and cause the
Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any
Inspector may reasonably request for purposes of such due diligence; provided,
however, that each Inspector shall hold in confidence and shall not make any
disclosure (except to a Buyer) of any Record or other information which the
Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination
the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is
necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration
Statement, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or
other order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c)
the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public
other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement.

                  i. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any
disclosure of information concerning any Buyers provided to the Company unless
(i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state
securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the
release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order
from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such
information has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company agrees that
it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Buyer
is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or
through other means, give prompt notice to such Buyer prior to making such
disclosure, and allow the Buyer, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action
to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

                  j. The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities
covered by any Registration Statement to be listed on each national securities
exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company
are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then
permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) to the extent the securities
of the same class or series are not then listed on a national securities
exchange, secure the designation and quotation, of all the Registrable
Securities covered by any Registration Statement on the OTC BB and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market
makers to register with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD") as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.

                  k. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar,
which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the
effective date of any Registration Statement.

                  l. The Company shall cooperate with the Buyers who hold
Registrable Securities being offered to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be offered
pursuant to any Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in
such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, or the Buyers may reasonably
request and registered in such names as the Buyers may request, and, within
three (3) business days after any Registration Statement which includes
Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall
deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to
the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to the Buyers
whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) an
instruction in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and an opinion of such
counsel in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  m. At the request of the holders of a majority-in-interest of
the Registrable Securities, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a
Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with the
Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan of
distribution set forth in such Registration Statement.

                  n. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company
shall not, and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any securities of the
Company to include any of their securities in any Registration Statement under
Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b)
hereof without the consent of the holders of a majority-in-interest of the
Registrable Securities.

                  o. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions
necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Buyers of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

         4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE BUYERS.

         In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the
Buyers shall have the following obligations:

                  a. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to
the Registrable Securities of a particular Buyer that such Buyer shall furnish
to the Company, in writing,such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration
of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection
with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least seven (7)
business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration
Statement, the Company shall notify each Buyer of the information the Company
requires from each such Buyer.

                  b. Each Buyer, by such Buyer's acceptance of the Registrable
Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the
Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration
Statement hereunder, unless such Buyer has notified the Company in writing of
such Buyer's election to exclude all of such Buyer's Registrable Securities from
the Registration Statements.

                  c. In the event Buyer holding a majority-in-interest of the
Registrable Securities being registered determine to engage the services of an
underwriter, each Buyer agrees to enter into and perform such Buyer's
obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form,
including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution
obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other
actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless such Buyer has notified the
Company in writing of such Buyer's election to exclude all of such Buyer's
Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

                  d. Each Buyer agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or
3(f), such Buyers will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable
Securities until such Buyer's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f) and, if so directed by
the Company, such Buyer shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the
Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction)
all copies in such Buyer's possession, of the prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

                                       8
<PAGE>

         5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

         All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and
commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, the
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel selected by the Buyers pursuant to Sections 2(b)
and 3(g) hereof shall be borne by the Company.

         6. INDEMNIFICATION.

         In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement:

                  a. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify,
hold harmless and defend (i) each Buyer who holds such Registrable Securities,
(ii) the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents and each person who
controls any Buyer within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), if any, (iii) any underwriter (as
defined in the 1933 Act) for the Buyers, and (iv) the directors, officers,
partners, employees and each person who controls any such underwriter within the
meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, if any (each, an "Indemnified Person"),
against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
(collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory
or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect
thereof, "Claims") to which any of them may become subject insofar as such
Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration
Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if
the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to
make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the
statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or
regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being,
collectively, "Violations"). Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section
6(c) with respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse
the Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising
out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by any Indemnified Person
or underwriter for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof; (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and
(iii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit
of any Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission of material fact
contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the
prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, such corrected prospectus was
timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, and the
Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect
prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a Violation and such Indemnified
Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it. Such indemnity shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable
Securities by the Buyers pursuant to Section 9.

                                       9
<PAGE>

                  b. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a
Buyer is participating, each such Buyer agrees severally and not jointly to
indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner
set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, any underwriter
and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such
stockholder or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act
(collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an "Indemnified Party"),
against any Claim to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act,
the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon
any Violation by such Buyer, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent)
that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Buyer expressly for use in
connection with such Registration Statement; and subject to Section 6(c) such
Buyer will reimburse any legal or other expenses (promptly as such expenses are
incurred and are due and payable) reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of such Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, further, however, that the Buyer shall be liable under this Agreement
(including this Section 6(b) and Section 7) for only that amount as does not
exceed the net proceeds to such Buyer as a result of the sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable
Securities by the Buyer pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 6(b) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the
benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material
fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in
the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented.

                  c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a
written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the
case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be
paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one
separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties,
as applicable, and such legal counsel shall be selected by Buyers holding a
majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration
Statement to which the Claim relates (with the approval of a
majority-in-interest of the Buyers), if the Buyers are entitled to
indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if the Company is entitled to
indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The failure to deliver written notice
to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any
such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in its ability to
defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made
by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred
and is due and payable.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         7. CONTRIBUTION.

         To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that
(i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not
have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in
Section 6, (ii) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) contribution (together
with any indemnification or other obligations under this Agreement) by any
seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of
proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

         8. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.

         With a view to making available to the Buyers the benefits of Rule 144
promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the
SEC that may at any time permit the Buyers to sell securities of the Company to
the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:

                  a. make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144;

                  b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as
the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that
nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 4(c) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other
documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

                  c. furnish to each Buyers so long as such Buyers owns
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the
1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the
Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to
permit the Buyers to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without
registration.

         9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by
the Buyers to any transferee of all or any portion of Registrable Securities if:
(i) the Buyers agree in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such
rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a
reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable
time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the
name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned,
(iii) following such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such
securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act and
applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or before the time the Company
receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the
transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of
the provisions contained herein, (v) such transfer shall have been made in
accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, and (vi) such transferee shall be an "accredited investor" as that
term defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act.

         10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof
may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with written consent of the Company, the
Buyers (to the extent such Buyers still own Registrable Securities) and Buyers
who hold a majority interest of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or
waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each
Buyer and the Company.

Securities.

understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter

reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.

                  i. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one

of the Debentures then outstanding have been converted into Registrable
Securities.

                  l. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Buyer by vitiating the
intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for breach of its obligations under
this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of any of the provisions under this Agreement,

in law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an
injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this
Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.

                  m. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be
the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules
of strict construction will be applied against any party.

                              _______________, 2003

[Name of Accredited Investor]
c/o Bondy & Schloss, LLP
60 East 42nd Street
New York, New York 10017-1677

Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to Q Comm International, Inc., a Utah
corporation ("Q Comm") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Q Comm, Inc. ("Sub"), in
connection with the execution and delivery of a Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated as of______________, 2003 (the "Agreement") by and between Q Comm and you
("Investor") and the transactions contemplated thereby.

         This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 7(h) of the
Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have
the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

         In rendering this opinion, we have examined the following documents:

         (1)      the Agreement;

         (2)      a security agreement, dated the date hereof, between Q Comm,
                  Sub, the Investor and Bondy & Schloss, LLP, as agent for the
                  Investors (the "Security Agreement");

         (3)      Form of 12% secured convertible debentures due ____________,
                  2004;

         (4)      Form of Stock Purchase Warrant, dated the date hereof
                  (the "Warrant");

         (5)      Registration Rights Agreement, dated the date hereof, between
                  Q Comm and the Investor;

                                       15
<PAGE>

         (6)      Stock Pledge Agreement, dated the date hereof, executed by
                  Paul C. Hickey, Q Comm, the Investors and Bondy & Schloss,
                  LLP, as agent for the Investor;

         (7)      Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement - Form UCC-1,
                  dated the date hereof, with Q Comm as debtor and the Investor
                  as secured party attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Financing
                  Statement");

         (8)      a certificate, dated ________, 2003, of the Secretary of State
                  of the State of Utah relating to the incorporation, legal
                  existence and good standing of Q Comm in the State of Utah
                  (the "Utah Certificate"); and

         (9)      such other documents, instruments and certificates (including,
                  but not limited to, certificates of public officials and
                  officers of Q Comm) as we have considered necessary for
                  purposes of this opinion.

The documents referred to in clauses (1) through (6) above are sometimes
hereinafter collectively called the "Operative Agreements".

         In our examination of the documents we have assumed the completeness of
the corporate and stock record books of Q Comm, the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of each signatory to such documents, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, facsimile or
photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such certified,
facsimile or photostatic documents. We have assumed that the Operative
Agreements accurately describe and contain the mutual understanding of the
parties thereto as to all matters contained therein, and that no other
agreements or understandings exist between such parties with respect to the
Operative Agreements.

         Insofar as this opinion relates to factual matters, information with
respect to which is in the possession of Q Comm, we have relied, without
independent investigation, upon certificates, statements and representations
made to us by one or more officers or employees of Q Comm and upon the
representations and warranties made by Q Comm in the Operative Agreements.

         Any reference herein to "our knowledge," or to matters "known to us,"
or to any matter of which we "are aware" or coming "to our attention" or any
variation of any of the foregoing, shall mean, as used herein, the conscious
awareness of those attorneys of this firm who have rendered substantive
attention to the transaction to which this opinion relates of the existence or
absence of any facts which would contradict our opinions set forth below. We
have not undertaken, for purposes of this opinion, any independent investigation
to determine the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference as to our
knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from the
fact of our representation of Q Comm. Moreover, we have not, for purposes of our
opinions below, searched computerized or electronic databases (except for the
Utah Department of Commerce) or the docket of any court, governmental agency or
regulatory body or other filing office in any jurisdiction.

         For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that the Operative
Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the signatories
thereto other than Q Comm, that the signatories thereto other than Q Comm have
the legal capacity and all requisite power and authority to effect the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and that the Operative
Agreements are the valid and binding obligations of the signatories thereto
other than Q Comm, enforceable against them in accordance with their respective
terms. We are expressing no opinion herein as to the application of or
compliance with any foreign, federal or state law or regulation to the power,
authority or competence of any party to the documents other than Q Comm.

                                       16
<PAGE>

         Our opinions expressed in paragraph 1 below, insofar as they relate to
the incorporation, valid existence, good standing of Q Comm are based solely on
the Utah Certificate, copies of which have been made available to the Investors,
and our opinions with respect to such matters are limited accordingly.

         The opinions hereinafter expressed are qualified to the extent that
they may be subject to or affected by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, usury, fraudulent transfer or other laws relating to
or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally; (ii) statutory or
decisional law concerning recourse by creditors to security in the absence of
notice or hearing; and (iii) duties and standards imposed on parties to
contracts, including without limitation, requirements of good faith,
reasonableness and fair dealing. We express no opinion as to the availability of
the remedy of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable or
specific remedy upon any breach of any documents or obligations referred to
herein, or to the successful assertion of any equitable defenses, inasmuch as
the availability of such remedies or the success of such defenses may be subject
to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be
brought. Our opinion in paragraph 3 below as to the enforceability of the
Operative Agreements is subject to the unenforceability under certain
circumstances of broadly or vaguely stated waivers or waivers of rights granted
by law where the waivers are against public policy or prohibited by law.
Furthermore, we express no opinion herein as to any provision of any agreement
(i) to the effect that rights and remedies are not exclusive, that every right
or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other
right or remedy and does not preclude recourse to one or more other rights or
remedies, (ii) relating to the effect of invalidity or enforceability of the
provisions of any of the Operative Agreements on the validity or enforceability
of any other provision thereof, (iii) requiring the payment of consequential
damages or liquidated damages, (iv) relating to non-competition and
non-solicitation, (v) relating to indemnification and contribution with respect
to securities law claims and (vi) relating to consent to jurisdiction or waiver
of trial by jury.

         We express no opinion as to compliance by Q Comm with any federal or
so-called "blue sky" or state securities laws or with any state or federal
antifraud laws or with the fraudulent transfer laws of any jurisdiction.

         We are opining herein only with respect to the state laws of the State
of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America. Accordingly,
to the extent that any laws other than those upon which we are opining govern
any of the matters as to which we express an opinion below, we have assumed for
purposes of this opinion, with your permission and without independent
investigation, that the laws of such jurisdiction are identical to the state
laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to whether such
assumption is reasonable or correct.

         On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that:

         1. Q Comm is a corporation incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Utah.

         2. Q Comm has the corporate power and corporate authority to enter into
and perform each of the Operative Agreements and has taken all necessary
corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the
Operative Agreements and the Financing Statements.

                                       17
<PAGE>

         3. The Operative Agreements have been duly executed and delivered by Q
Comm and constitute the legally valid and binding obligation of Q Comm,
enforceable against it in accordance with the respective terms of such Operative
Agreements.

         4. No consents, approvals or authorizations of, or notices to or
filings with the shareholders of Q Comm or any governmental authority or agency
under the laws of the State of New York or the laws of the United States, in
each case as presently in effect and interpreted, are required on the part of Q
Comm in connection with the execution and delivery by Q Comm of the Operative
Agreements, except for such filings as are necessary in connection with the
creation and/or perfection of security interests in collateral granted by Q Comm
to the Investors.

         5. The execution, delivery and performance by Q Comm of the Operative
Agreements and the consummation by Q Comm of the transactions contemplated
thereby, does not (i) violate or conflict with any provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation or ByLaws of Q Comm, (ii) constitute a breach of, or result in
a default under any agreement to which Q Comm is a party, known to us or (iii)
violate any federal, state or local law, statute, rule or regulation that we
have in the exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as
applicable to Q Comm or to transactions of this type contemplated by the
Operative Agreements.

         6. The provisions of the Security Agreement are sufficient to create in
favor of the Investor a security interest in the Collateral (as defined therein)
to the extent that a security interest can be created pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code and Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the
States of New York and Utah (the "UCC") and the UCC applies to such types of
Collateral.

         7. The Financing Statement is in proper form and when filed with the
Utah Department of Commerce, the liens created by the Security Agreement will be
duly perfected, to the extent that such security interests can be perfected by
the filing of such Financing Statement.

         This opinion is based upon currently existing statutes, rules,
regulations and judicial decisions and is rendered as of the date hereof, and we
disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of the foregoing
sources of law or subsequent developments in law or changes in fact or
circumstances which might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.
Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth
herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matter.

         This opinion is being furnished to the Investors, at the request of Q
Comm, solely for the purpose set forth in the first paragraph hereof and solely
for the benefit of the Investors and may not be relied upon for any other
purpose or by any other person or entity without our prior written consent;
except that as contemplated by the Agreement, any other person or entity that
executes a securities purchase agreement on or before__________, 2003, which is
substantially identical to the Agreement, may rely hereon.

                                          Very truly yours,

                                          Morse, Zelnick, Rose & Lander, LLP

                              DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES
                                       TO
                          SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         This Disclosure Schedule is annexed to and made a part of the
Securities Purchase Agreement. The numbered paragraphs set forth below
correspond to the numbered paragraphs set forth in the Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2003 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"),
between Q Comm International, Inc. (the "Company") and the purchasers set forth
on the signature pages thereto (the "Buyers"). Capitalized terms used herein
shall have the same meaning ascribed to such terms in the Securities Purchase
Agreement.

         3.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

         a.       Organization and Qualification. The Company has one
                  subsidiary. Q Comm, Inc., a Utah corporation, is wholly-owned
                  by the Company.

         c.       Attached hereto as Exhibit 3(c)-1 is a list of option holders
                  and warrant holders, the number of shares of common stock
                  which they have the right to acquire and the exercise price of
                  their options and/or warrants. Exhibit 3(c)-2 also lists
                  convertible securities issued by the Company currently
                  outstanding and the conversion price that applies to those
                  instruments. Exhibit 3(c)-3 lists agreements or arrangements
                  under which the Company is obligated to register its
                  securities under the 1933 Act. Exhibit 3(c)-4 lists the
                  agreements that contain anti-dilution or price protection
                  provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of the
                  Debentures, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares or Warrant
                  Shares.

         f.       The issuance of the Conversion Shares prior to the delivery of
                  a Notice of Conversion with respect to the Debentures and the
                  delivery of the Warrant Shares prior to the delivery of a
                  Notice of Exercise with respect to the Warrants may conflict
                  with or result in the violation of the Company's Articles of
                  Incorporation and/or By-laws and may result in a violation of
                  the Utah Business Corporation Act.

         g.       Since January 1, 2002, the Company has timely filed all
                  reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
                  required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the reporting
                  requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934. In January 2003, the
                  Company sold its 12% unsecured convertible note due February
                  28, 2004 in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 and
                  363,636 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price
                  of $200,000. Also, see paragraph 3(l) below.

         h.       The Company continues to operate at a loss and continues to
                  experience negative cash flow in each calendar month since
                  September 30, 2002. The fourth quarter of 2002 is likely to be
                  the lowest revenue quarter for the year and have the greatest
                  negative cash flow for the year. See also paragraph 3(g) above
                  and 3(l) below.

         i.       On October 10, 2000, First Security Bank, N.A. filed suit in
                  the Fourth Judicial District Court of Utah County, claiming
                  breach of a Merchant Agreement. The complaint relates to
                  charge-backs of customer credit card purchases, which resulted
                  in overdrafts of our merchant account with First Security.
                  First Security claims $175,477 in damages. We believe that
                  First Security honored charge-backs inappropriately, based on
                  the terms and conditions of the customers' credit card
                  agreements and the terms and conditions of their contracts
                  with us. First Security recently filed a motion for summary
                  judgment, which we are contesting. We anticipate that this
                  case will not be resolved until after trial, which has not yet
                  been scheduled, but which will likely be scheduled to take
                  place within the next four to six months. We have recorded a
                  contingent liability in connection with this matter and
                  believe the resolution of this suit will not have a material
                  impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

                  We have agreed to indemnify Paul Hickey against any and all
                  costs, fees, expenses, damages and liabilities that he may
                  incur in connection with the matter of Dallin Bagley v. Paul
                  Hickey. In that lawsuit the plaintiff claims that he had a
                  right to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock from Mr.
                  Hickey at a significant discount and that as a result of Mr.
                  Hickey's breach of their agreement, he suffered damages in the
                  amount of $400,000. Mr. Hickey contests the enforceability of
                  the agreement. We indemnified Mr. Hickey because the
                  plaintiff's allegations relate to a matter in which Mr. Hickey
                  acted in the interest of Q Comm.

         j.       None. Exhibit 3(j) attached hereto lists all of the patents
                  owned by the Company.

         l.       The Company has not filed any income tax returns since 1997.
                  In addition, the Company has not filed any returns or made any
                  required payments with respect to employment taxes for the
                  periods beginning August 2002.

         m.       As of January 1, 2003, we owed Paul Hickey, our principal
                  stockholder and chief executive officer, an aggregate amount
                  of $410,962, consisting of loans from him to cover cash
                  shortfalls, past due lease payments, and deferred salary. This
                  amount is reflected in a note that bears interest at 10%. The
                  note provides that we must pay Mr. Hickey $150,000 out of the
                  proceeds of the contemplated underwritten public offering
                  scheduled for later this year. Also, beginning one year after
                  this offering is completed, we are obligated to amortize the
                  balance of the note over its remaining term.

                  We have agreed to indemnify Paul Hickey against any and all
                  costs, fees, expenses, damages and liabilities that he may
                  incur in connection with the matter of Dallin Bagley v. Paul
                  Hickey. In that lawsuit the plaintiff claims that he had a
                  right to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock from Mr.
                  Hickey at a significant discount and that as a result of Mr.
                  Hickey's breach of their agreement, he suffered damages in the
                  amount of $400,000. Mr. Hickey contests the enforceability of
                  the agreement. We indemnified Mr. Hickey because the
                  plaintiff's allegations relate to a matter in which Mr. Hickey
                  acted in the interest of Q Comm.

                  Mr. Hickey has personally guaranteed the repayment of the
                  convertible note held by UTFC Financing Solutions, LLC in the
                  original principal amount of $250,000. In addition, Mr. Hickey
