        2.    Restrictive Legend.    Each certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares shall, except as otherwise
provided below, bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THAT
ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG SENTO CORPORATION (THE "COMPANY") AND CERTAIN SHAREHOLDERS OF THE
COMPANY, DATED AS OF                        , 1999, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.

A
certificate shall not bear such legend if (a) in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company the securities represented thereby may, at such time, be publicly sold without registration
under the Securities Act in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 or any other rule thereunder permitting public sale without registration under the Securities Act or (b) upon a
transfer by a Shareholder of the securities represented thereby, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, such securities may be transferred in a public sale without registration under
the Securities Act and the transferee and
any subsequent transferee (other than an affiliate of the Company) would be entitled to transfer such securities in a public sale without registration under the Securities Act. 

        3.    Notice of Proposed Transfer.    Prior to any transfer of any Shares or Warrant Shares (other than pursuant to
Section 4 of this Agreement), a Shareholder shall give written notice to the Company of its intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner of the proposed
transfer and, unless the Company in its discretion waives such requirement, shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer may be
effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon such Shareholder shall be entitled to transfer such Shares or Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms of its notice and with all
federal and state securities laws. The requirements of this Section 3 shall not apply to securities which are not required to bear the legend prescribed by Section 2 in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2(a). 

        4.    Registration Rights.    

        (a)    Registration Obligation.    The Company shall prepare, and, on or prior to            , 1999, file with the
Commission a registration statement for the purpose of registering the shares of Restricted Stock for public sale under the Securities Act. If, in the discretion of the Company, such shares shall be
sold in an underwritten public offering, the Company shall designate the managing underwriter of such offering. The Company shall be obligated to register Restricted Stock pursuant to this
Section 4 on one occasion only. 

        (b)    Terms and Conditions of Registration.    The Shareholders shall be obligated to execute such documentation as
may be necessary or advisable to effect the registration and sale of the Restricted Stock to be sold pursuant to this Section 4, including, without limitation, such powers of attorney as may be
necessary to sell the Restricted Stock within a specified price range. In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 4 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public
offering of Common Stock, the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be included in such offering for the account of such Shareholder may be reduced pro-rata among such Shareholders 

2

 

and
other holders of Restricted Stock electing to participate in such registration, if any, if and to the extent that the managing underwriter shall be of the opinion that such inclusion would
adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, the Company may at any time withdraw any registration
statement without incurring any liability to any Shareholder. 

        (c)    Inclusion of Company Stock.    The Company shall be entitled to include in any registration statement referred
to in this Section 4, shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account, except to the extent that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter, if any, such
inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the Restricted Stock to be sold. 

        (d)    Shelf Registration.    Subject to the provisions of Section 5(c) below, the Company shall not be
obligated under this Section 4 to undertake a "shelf" registration or other similar registration that would allow the Shareholders to offer their Restricted Stock on a delayed or continuous
basis. 

        5.    Registration Procedures.    

        (a)    Obligations of the Company.    The Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration of shares of
Restricted Stock under the Securities Act as contemplated by Section 4 above on or before                        , 1999. In
connection therewith, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible: 

          (i)  use
its best efforts to include such Restricted Stock in the registration statement proposed to be prepared and filed with the Commission and, if such registration
statement is filed, use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of distribution contemplated thereby (determined as hereinafter provided); 

         (ii)  prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus contained therein as may be necessary to keep
such registration statement effective for the period specified in subparagraph (i) above, and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Restricted
Stock covered by such registration statement in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period; 

        (iii)  furnish
to each Shareholder electing to obtain registration of its shares of Restricted Stock (each a "Participating Shareholder") and to each underwriter such number
of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or
other disposition of the Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement; 

        (iv)  after
the filing of the registration statement, promptly notify each Participating Shareholder of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission, and take all
reasonable actions required to respond to comments of the Commission, and to prevent the entry of any such stop order or to remove any such stop order if entered; 

         (v)  use
its best efforts to register or qualify the Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as
the Participating Shareholders or, in the case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter, reasonably shall request; provided,
however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so
qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 

3

 

        (vi)  use
its best efforts to list the Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, if any; 

       (vii)  immediately
notify each Participating Shareholder and each underwriter under such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to
be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge that causes the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, to
include an untrue statement of material fact, or to omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing; each Shareholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any such event, it will immediately discontinue disposition of securities
pursuant to the registration statement until receipt of copies of an appropriately supplemented or amended prospectus; 

      (viii)  if
the offering is underwritten and at the request of a Participating Shareholder, use its best efforts to furnish on the date that Restricted Stock is delivered to
the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration statement (the "Closing Date"): 

        (1)   an
opinion of counsel representing the Company in connection with the registration statement, dated as of the Closing Date, addressed to the underwriters, stating that
such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and that (a) to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and
no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act, (b) the registration statement, the prospectus contained therein and all amendments
or supplements thereto, comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act (except that such counsel need not express any opinion as to financial statements
contained therein), and (c) to such other effects as reasonably may be requested by counsel for the underwriters; and 

        (2)   a
letter from the independent public accountants retained by the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, and addressed to the underwriters, stating that they are
independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial statements of the Company included in the registration statement and
the prospectus contained therein, and any amendments or supplements thereto, comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements
of the Securities Act, and covering such other financial matters (including, without limitation, information as to the period ending no more than five (5) business days prior to the date of
such letter) as reasonably may be requested by counsel for the underwriters; 

        (ix)  make
available for inspection by any Participating Shareholder, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any
attorney, accountant or other agent retained by a Participating Shareholder or such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause
the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Participating Shareholder, any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with
such registration statement; 

         (x)  if
requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering, enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and the underwriters, and containing such representations and warranties by the Company and other customary provisions, including, without limitation,
indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided herein. The 

4

 

Participating
Shareholders will cooperate with the Company in the negotiation of the underwriting agreement and will give consideration to the reasonable suggestions of the Company regarding the form
thereof. Each Participating Shareholder shall, as a condition to inclusion of its Restricted Stock in such registrations, be a party to such underwriting agreement and may require, as reasonable, that
any or all of the representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company thereunder to and for the benefit of such underwriters be also made to and for the benefit of such Participating
Shareholder, and that all or any of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters contained therein be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Participating Shareholder. In
connection with any registration pursuant to Section 4, each Participating Shareholder shall provide to the Company and the underwriters all representations, warranties or covenants to or for
the benefit of the Company or the underwriters as the Company or the underwriters shall reasonably request for the purpose of accomplishing the registration requested; and 

        (xi)  give
each Participating Shareholder and the underwriters, if any, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of those aspects of the registration statement, each
prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment or supplement thereto, that are reasonably related to or have a material effect upon the interests of such Participating
Shareholder. 

        Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 5(a)(i), the Company's obligation to use its best efforts to file a registration statement or to cause such registration statement
to become and remain effective, shall be suspended for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days in any twenty-four (24) month period if there exists at the time material
non-public information relating to the Company which, in the Company's reasonable opinion, should not be disclosed. 

        (b)    Obligations of the Shareholders.    In connection with each registration hereunder, each Participating
Shareholder shall: 

          (i)  furnish
to the Company in writing such information with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws; and 

         (ii)  if
requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering, enter into an underwriting agreement, and cooperate with the Company in the negotiation thereof, as more
fully described in Section 5(a)(x) above. 

        (c)    Period of Distribution.    For purposes of Sections 5(a)(i) and 5(a)(ii), the period of distribution of
Restricted Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering shall be deemed to extend until each underwriter has completed the distribution of all securities purchased by it, and the period of
distribution of Restricted Stock in any other registration shall be deemed to extend until the earlier of the sale of all Restricted Stock covered thereby and sixty (60) days after the
effective date thereof. 

        6.    Expenses.    All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with the registration obligations of
Section 4, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and
expenses (including counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with applicable blue sky laws, fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of
transfer agents and registrars, and costs of insurance, but excluding any Selling Expenses, are referred to herein as "Registration Expenses." All underwriting discounts, selling commissions and other
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the sale of Restricted Stock are referred to herein as "Selling Expenses." The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each
registration statement under Section 4. All Selling Expenses in connection with each registration statement hereunder shall be borne by the Company, the Shareholders and any other participating
sellers, if any, in proportion to the number of shares sold thereunder by each. All fees and expenses of counsel for the Shareholders shall be paid by the Shareholders.

        7.    Indemnification.    

        (a)    Indemnification of the Participating Shareholders.    In the event of a registration of any of the Restricted
Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Participating Shareholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which any such Participating Shareholder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the registration statement prepared in connection with such
registration, any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendments or supplements thereto or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Company agrees to reimburse such Participating Shareholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be liable under this Section 7(a) for any loss,
claim, damage or liability that arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in conformity with information furnished by such
Participating Shareholder for use in such registration statement, prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto. 

        (b)    Indemnification of the Company.    In the event of a registration of any of the Restricted Stock under the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4, the Participating Shareholders shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement and each director of the Company, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Company, such controlling person, officer or director may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the registration statement prepared in connection with such
registration, any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendments or supplements thereto or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Shareholders agree that the Participating Shareholders shall reimburse the Company and each such controlling person,
officer or director for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Participating Shareholder will be liable under this Section 7(b) if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such Participating Shareholder, furnished in writing to the
Company by such Participating Shareholder for use in such registration statement or prospectus; furthermore, the liability of a Participating Shareholder under this Section 7(b) shall be
limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the shares sold by such Participating Shareholder
under such registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, not
to exceed, in any event, the proceeds received by the Shareholder from the sale of Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement. 

        (c)    Notification and Defense of Actions.    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of
any loss, claim, damage or liability, or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the
indemnifying party in writing thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the 

6

 

indemnifying
party from liability it may otherwise have under this Section 7, only to the extent that such indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure. Upon notification of the
indemnifying party of the commencement of an action against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it desires to do so, to assume and
undertake the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After the indemnified party is notified that the indemnifying party elects to assume and undertake
the defense of the action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in
connection with the defense of the action, other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided,
however, that, if both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party are defendants in the action, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are
reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel and to assume its own defense of the action, and the indemnified party
shall be indemnified, in accordance with this Section 7, for the reasonable expenses and fees incurred by the indemnified party in its separate defense of the action. 

        (d)    Indemnification Payments.    The indemnification required by this Section 7 shall be made by periodic
payments during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, upon the receipt by the indemnifying party of appropriate
documentation of such expense, loss, damage or liability, and demand for reimbursement thereof. 

        8.    Changes in Common Stock.    Any change in the Common Stock by way of a stock split, stock dividend, combination
or reclassification, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, shall not affect or diminish the rights and privileges granted hereunder, which
shall continue with respect to the Shares and the Warrant Shares, if any, as so changed. 

        9.    Rule 144 Reporting.    In order to make available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the
Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Restricted Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to: 

        (a)   make
and keep current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act; 

        (b)   use
its best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act; and 

        (c)   furnish
to the Shareholder upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of its most recent annual or quarterly report, and such other reports and documents filed by the Company as a Shareholder may reasonably request in order to avail
itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Shareholder to sell Restricted Stock without registration under the Securities Act. 

        10.    Representations and Warranties of the Company.    The Company represents and warrants to the Shareholders as
follows: 

        (a)   The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and will not (i) violate any
provision of law, any order of any court or other agency of government, the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any provision of any indenture, agreement or other instrument by which
it or any of its assets is bound, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of 

7

 

time
or both) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon
any of the assets of the Company; and 

        (b)   This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

        (a)    Binding Effect.    All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the

common stock, par value $0.25 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), at an initial conversion price of $1.75 per share (each share issuable upon conversion thereof being a "Conversion
Share"), at any time after the first anniversary and prior to the third anniversary of the closing of the Offering (as defined below) (the date of such closing being the "Closing Date" and the date of
such third anniversary being the "Expiration Date"), together with (ii) two hundred fifty common stock purchase warrants (each such warrant being a "Warrant") each for the purchase of one share
of the Common Stock (upon issue thereof, a "Warrant Share"), exercisable until the Expiration Date at an exercise price of $2.25 per Warrant Share (the "Offering"). The Company is offering the Units
at a price of $1,000 per Unit. There is no minimum number of Units which must be subscribed for by any one purchaser. The Units are being offered on a "best efforts" basis and there is no requirement
for a minimum amount of subscriptions. The Units are being offered for sale pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated March 10, 2003, as amended by the First Amendment and Supplement
thereto dated March 25, 2003 (together referred to as the "Memorandum"), as more particularly described and set forth therein. Unless otherwise indicated, terms used herein shall have the same
meanings as set forth in the Memorandum. 

        1.    Acquisition of Units.    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the provisions of the Memorandum, the
undersigned hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of Units indicated in Item 8 on page 8 of this Agreement at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit, or an aggregate
purchase price equal to the amount indicated in Item 9 on page 8 of this Agreement. 

        2.    Acceptance of Subscription.    The undersigned understands and agrees that the Company shall have the right to
accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part, and that the same shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when this Agreement is accepted and signed by a duly authorized officer of
the Company as provided for herein. Subscriptions need not be accepted in the order received, and the Units may be allocated in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the Company, in the event of
an oversubscription. 

        The
Units are being offered on a "best efforts" basis, and there is no requirement for the sale of a minimum amount of Units. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to sell
all or any 

 

portion
of the Units, and the number of Units which will actually be sold by the Company in the Offering is unknown. Once subscriptions are received by the Company, investors will be irrevocably bound
by the terms thereof. 

        3.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Undersigned.    The undersigned makes the following
representations and warranties, together with the representations made by the undersigned in the Purchaser Questionnaire attached hereto (which representations are incorporated herein by this
reference), and undertakes to perform the following covenants, with the intent that they be relied upon by the Company and its counsel, officers, directors, employees and agents in determining the
undersigned's suitability as a purchaser of the Units. The undersigned hereby agrees that such representations, warranties and covenants shall survive his/her purchase of the Units. By signing this
Agreement, the undersigned represents that he/she has read and acknowledged the representations set forth in this Section 3. If more than one person is signing this Agreement, each
representation, each warranty and each covenant made herein shall be a joint and several representation, warranty or covenant of each person. 

        (a)   The
undersigned is the sole and true party in interest, is acquiring the Units for his/her own account for investment, is not purchasing the Units subscribed for hereby
for the benefit of any other person, and has no present intention of holding or managing the Units with others or of selling, distributing or otherwise disposing of any portion of the Units. 

        (b)   The
undersigned (i) is a citizen of the United States, (ii) is, if a natural person, at least 21 years of age and (iii) is a bona fide
permanent resident of and is domiciled in the state set forth on the signature page hereof and has no present intention of becoming a resident of any other state or jurisdiction. 

        (c)   The
undersigned is aware that an investment in the Units is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks. The undersigned has adequate means of providing for
his/her current needs and possible contingencies, and is able to bear the high degree of economic risk of this investment, including, but not limited to, the possibility of the complete loss of the
undersigned's entire investment and the limited transferability of the Units, which may make the liquidation of this investment impossible for the indefinite future. 

        (d)   The
undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units and
making an informed investment decision. 

        (e)   The
undersigned understands that none of the Units, the Debentures, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares (collectively, the "Securities") will be
registered in this Offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or any state securities laws, in partial reliance upon exemptions from registration for certain private
offerings. The undersigned understands and agrees that the Securities, or any interest therein, may not be resold or otherwise disposed of by the undersigned unless such Securities are subsequently
registered under the 1933 Act and under all applicable state securities laws or unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration is available
(as more particularly provided in the form of Debenture and form of Warrant attached to the Memorandum). 

        (f)    The
undersigned understands that only the Company can take action so as to register the Securities. Nonetheless, the undersigned will have certain limited registration
rights to the extent such rights are expressly provided by a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") executed in connection with this Agreement by the undersigned and the
Company. Such registration rights consist of certain incidental rights to obligate the Company to register Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares upon request of the holder thereof if the Company 

2

 

otherwise
registers securities of the Company, as more particularly set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. 

        (g)   The
undersigned acknowledges and represents that he/she has received and reviewed a copy of the Memorandum and any amendments or supplements thereto, has been given a
reasonable opportunity to review all documents, books and records of the Company pertaining to this investment, has been supplied with all additional information concerning the Company and the Units
that has been
requested by the undersigned, has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company or its representatives concerning this investment, and that all such questions
have been answered to the full satisfaction of the undersigned. 

        (h)   The
undersigned has received no representations, written or oral, from the Company or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, other than those contained
in the Memorandum or this Agreement. In making his/her decision to purchase the Units, the undersigned has relied solely upon his/her review of the Memorandum, this Agreement, and independent
investigations made by him/her or his/her representatives without assistance of the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents. Furthermore, in making such decision, the
undersigned has not relied on (i) any research reports or other information prepared by members of the financial or investment community or (ii) any materials other than the Memorandum
and this Agreement. 

        (i)    The
undersigned understands and agrees that the following restrictions and limitations are applicable to his/her purchases and resales, pledges, hypothecations or other
transfers of the Securities: 

          (i)  The
Securities shall not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or an
exemption from such registration is available; 

         (ii)  In
addition to any other legend specified in the Memorandum, or the form of Debenture, the form of Warrant or the form of Registration Rights Agreement attached
thereto, as applicable, each certificate or other document evidencing or representing Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (any conflict
among such forms of legend to be resolved by the Company in its sole discretion): 

THE
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND VARIOUS APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR ASSIGNED OR A SECURITY
INTEREST CREATED THEREIN, UNLESS THE PURCHASER, TRANSFEREE, ASSIGNEE, PLEDGEE OR HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITY INTEREST COMPLIES WITH ALL STATE AND FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS (I.E., SUCH UNITS ARE REGISTERED
UNDER SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE THEREUNDER) AND UNLESS THE SELLER, TRANSFEROR, ASSIGNOR, PLEDGOR OR GRANTOR OF SUCH SECURITY INTEREST PROVIDES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED WOULD NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. TRANSFERABILITY
OF THE SECURITIES IS THEREFORE

LIMITED
AND INVESTORS MUST BEAR THE ECONOMIC RISK OF THEIR INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. 

        (j)    The
undersigned acknowledges and represents that he/she has completed and executed the Purchaser Questionnaire attached hereto and that the information contained in such
questionnaire is complete and accurate. 

        (k)   The
undersigned represents and affirms that if an investment in the Units is being made pursuant to this Agreement by a corporation, partnership, trust or estate, 

          (i)  the
decision to invest and the execution and delivery of this Agreement have been duly authorized by such corporation, partnership, trust or estate; 

         (ii)  the
person executing this Agreement on behalf of such corporation, partnership, trust or estate has all right and authority, in his/her capacity as an officer, general
partner, trustee, executor or other representative of such corporation, partnership, trust or estate, as the case may be, to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of such corporation,
partnership, trust or estate; 

        (iii)  this
Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of such corporation; partnership, trust or estate, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with its terms; and 

        (iv)  such
corporation, partnership, trust or estate was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Units. 

        (l)    The
undersigned represents and affirms that if the undersigned is a partnership, it has, prior to commencement of the Offering, made other investments, and this
investment in the Company is being participated in by the partners of the undersigned in substantially the same proportions as such other prior investments. 

        (m)  The
undersigned represents and affirms that none of the following information has ever been represented, guaranteed or warranted to the undersigned, expressly or by
implication, by any person: 

          (i)  the
percentage of profit and/or amount of or type of consideration, profit or loss to be realized, if any, as a result of an investment in the Units; or 

         (ii)  the
possibility that the past performance or experience on the part of any subsidiary, officer, director, employee, agent or affiliate of the Company might in any way
indicate or predict the results of ownership of the Units or the potential success of the Company's operations. 

        (n)   The
undersigned represents that he/she has read and considered fully the sections in the Memorandum entitled "INVESTOR SUITABILITY STANDARDS" and "RISK FACTORS AND
INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS" and understands that (i) any investment in the Units is speculative and is subject to a high degree of risk and (ii) there are substantial restrictions on the
transferability of the Securities which may make impossible or impractical the liquidation of an investment in the Units in case of an emergency. 

        (o)   The
undersigned (i) acknowledges that the Memorandum, the information contained therein, and all other information concerning the Company delivered to the
undersigned in connection with the Offering (collectively, the "Proprietary Information") constitutes proprietary confidential information of the Company, (ii) warrants to the Company that
he/she shall not use, disclose or disseminate the Proprietary Information except for the sole and isolated purpose of making an investment decision related to the purchase of the Units, and
(iii) represents and warrants that he/she has not distributed or disseminated, nor will he/she at any time distribute or disseminate, the Proprietary Information to anyone other than personal
advisors of the 

4

 

undersigned,
and that the use of the Proprietary Information by any personal advisor has been, and will at all times, be limited to the sole and isolated purpose of evaluating the proposed purchase of
the Units by the undersigned. 

        (p)   The
undersigned represents and warrants that he/she is aware of and has read the applicable state securities notices and legends set forth in the forepart of the
Memorandum. 

        4.    Indemnification.    The undersigned acknowledges that he/she understands the meaning and legal consequences of
the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 3 hereof and that the Company and its counsel, officers, directors, employees and agents have relied and will rely upon such
representations, warranties and covenants. The undersigned hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its respective attorneys, officers, directors, employees and agents from
and against any and all loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (including attorney's fees), joint or several, to which any such person may become subject due to or arising out of: 

        (a)   any
breach by the undersigned of, or any inaccuracy in, any such representation, warranty or covenant; 

        (b)   the
disposition of any of the Securities by the undersigned contrary to the foregoing representations, warranties or covenants; or 

        (c)   any
action, suit, proceeding, demand, assessment or judgment incident to or based upon any of the matters so indemnified against. 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, no representation, warranty, acknowledgement, covenant or agreement made herein by the undersigned shall in any manner be deemed to constitute a waiver of any
rights granted to him/her under federal or state securities laws. 

        5.    Representations and Warranties of the Company.    The Company represents and warrants to the undersigned that as
of the date of the Memorandum:

is required for the consummation
by the Company of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement except as such may be required under state securities laws. 

        (c)   The
Securities, if and when issued by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or, in the case of the Conversion Shares, pursuant to conversion of a Debenture, and in the
case of the Warrant Shares, pursuant to exercise of the Warrants, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 

        (d)   No
statement, representation, warranty or covenant made by the Company in the Memorandum, this Agreement or any document required by this Agreement is, to the knowledge

any action, suit, proceeding, demand, assessment or judgment incident to any of the matters indemnified against. 

        6.    Non-Transferability.    Neither this Agreement nor any of the undersigned's interest therein is

SENTO CORPORATION  

 PURCHASER QUESTIONNAIRE  

        The following information is furnished to Sento Corporation, a Utah corporation (the "Company"), in order for it to determine whether the undersigned is qualified
to purchase certain Units (the "Units") of 8% convertible subordinated debentures ("Debentures") convertible for shares of common stock of the Company ("Conversion Shares") and warrants ("Warrants")
for the purchase of shares of common stock of the Company ("Warrant Shares"), pursuant to Sections 3(b) and 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), Regulation D
promulgated thereunder ("Regulation D") and applicable state securities laws. This Questionnaire is attached to, incorporated in, and constitutes a material portion of, a subscription agreement
delivered by the undersigned to the Company (the "Agreement"). The undersigned understands that the Company will rely upon the following information for purposes of such determination and that, in
reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Sections 3(b) and 4(2) of the 1933 Act and Regulation D, neither the Units, the Debentures,
the Conversion Shares, the Warrants nor the Warrant Shares (collectively, the "Securities") will be registered under the 1933 Act. 

        ALL
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS QUESTIONNAIRE WILL BE TREATED CONFIDENTIALLY. The undersigned agrees, however, that the Company may present this Questionnaire to such parties as it may
deem appropriate if called upon to establish that the proposed offer and sale of the Securities is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act or meets the requirements of applicable state securities
laws. 

        The
undersigned understands that this Questionnaire is merely a request for information. The undersigned understands that this Questionnaire is not an offer to sell or sale of the
Securities and that no sale will occur prior to the acceptance of the undersigned's subscription by the Company.
