                  c. "REGISTER," "REGISTERED," and "REGISTRATION" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing one or more Registration
Statements (as defined below) in compliance with the 1933 Act and pursuant to
Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering
securities on a continuous or delayed basis ("RULE 415"), and the declaration or

Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

                  d. "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" means the shares of Common Stock

         2. REGISTRATION.

                  a. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Company shall prepare and, within sixty (60) calendar days following the date of
receipt of final proceeds from the sale of the Company's Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated October ___,
2000 (the "Filing Deadline"), file with the SEC a registration statement on Form
S-1 or SB-2 (or, if the Company is then eligible, on Form S-3) under the 1933
Act (the "Initial Registration Statement") for the registration of a maximum of
500,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Warrants
issued pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement dated October ___, 2000, to be
declared effective and the Company shall cause the Registration Statement to
remain effective until all of the Registrable Securities have been sold (the
"REGISTRATION PERIOD"). Prior to the filing of the Initial Registration
Statement with the SEC, the Company shall furnish a copy of the Initial
Registration Statement to the Warrant Holders, May Davis and Butler Gonzalez,
LLP for their review and comment together with a selling shareholder
questionnaire in form prepared by the Company. The Warrant Holders, May Davis
and Butler Gonzalez, LLP shall furnish comments on the Initial Registration
Statement and an executed selling shareholder questionnaire to the Company
within twenty four (24) hours of the receipt thereof from the Company.

                  b. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INITIAL REGISTRATION STATEMENT. The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (i) to have the Initial
Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC by no later than one
hundred and twenty (120) days after the date hereof (the "Scheduled Effective
Deadline") and (ii) to insure that the Initial Registration Statement and any
subsequent Registration Statement remains in effect throughout the Registration
Period, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

                                       2

<PAGE>

                  c. SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF SHARES REGISTERED. In the event the
number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 2(a) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities which
are issuable to the Warrant Holders upon conversion of the Warrants issued
pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company shall amend the
Registration Statement, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a new
Registration Statement (on the short form available therefore, if applicable),
or both, so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities issuable to the
Warrant Holders upon conversion of the Warrants issued pursuant to the Placement
Agency Agreement as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen
(15) business days after the necessity therefore arises. The Company shall use
it best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to
become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For
purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a
Registration Statement shall be deemed "insufficient to cover all of the
Registrable Securities" if at any time the number of Registrable Securities
issuable upon conversion of the Warrants is greater than the number of shares
available for resale under such Registration Statement.

         3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

                  a. The Company shall keep the Registration Statement effective
during the term of the Warrant pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the end
of the Registration Period, which 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, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

                  b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such 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 such
Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities
shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration
Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement
which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to
this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company's filing a report on Form 10-K, Form
10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934 ACT"), the Company shall incorporate such report by
reference into the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such
amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act
report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or
supplement the Registration Statement.

                                       3

<PAGE>

                  c. The Company shall furnish to each Warrant Holder whose
Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without
charge, (i) at least one copy of such Registration Statement as declared
effective by the SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, all
exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) ten (10) copies of the final
prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and
supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Warrant Holder may
reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents as such Warrant Holder may
reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of
the Registrable Securities owned by such Warrant Holder.

                  d. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and
qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under
such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as any Warrant Holder reasonably requests (unless an exemption from
qualification or registration is available), (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 (w) make any change to its Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, (x)
qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of
process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify each Warrant
Holder who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of
the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

                  e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such
event or development, the Company shall notify each Warrant Holder in writing of
the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in a
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, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such
notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a
supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue
statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or
amendment to each Warrant Holder. The Company shall also promptly notify each
Warrant Holder in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such
effectiveness shall be delivered to each Warrant Holder by facsimile on the same
day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or
supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus information, and
(iii) of the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment
to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

                                       4

<PAGE>

                  f. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the
issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a
Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction within the United States of
America and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal
of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify each
Warrant Holder who holds Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding
for such purpose.

                  g. At the reasonable request of any Warrant Holder, the
Company shall furnish to such Warrant Holder, on the date of the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as
a Warrant Holder may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the
Company's independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is
customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in
an underwritten public offering, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of
counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in
form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public
offering, addressed to the Warrant Holders.

                  h. The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any
Warrant Holder and (ii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the
Warrant Holders (collectively, the "INSPECTORS") all pertinent financial and
other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company,
as permitted under applicable law (collectively, the "RECORDS"), as shall be
reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company's officers,
directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may
reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree, and each
Warrant Holder hereby agrees, to hold in strict confidence and shall not make
any disclosure (except to a Warrant Holder) or use 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 or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the
release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena
or 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 Agreement or any other agreement
of which the Inspector and the Warrant Holder has knowledge. Each Warrant Holder
agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in
or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other
means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense,
to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a
protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.

                  i. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any
disclosure of information concerning a Warrant Holder 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
final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent

                                       5

<PAGE>

jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other
agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of
such information concerning a Warrant Holder is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt
written notice to such Warrant Holder and allow such Warrant Holder, at the
Warrant Holder's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure
of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

                  j. The Company shall use its best efforts either to cause all
the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement (i) to be listed
on each 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 secure the inclusion for quotation on the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. OTC Bulletin Board for such Registrable Securities. The
Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its
obligation under this Section 3(j).

                  k. After a Registration Statement registering the Registrable
Securities is declared effective by the SEC, and for so long as such
Registration Statement shall remain effective, the Company shall cooperate with
the Warrant Holders who hold Registrable Securities being offered pursuant to
such Registration Statement and, to the extent applicable, to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive
legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the
Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations
or amounts, as the case may be, as the Warrant Holders may reasonably request
and registered in such names as the Warrant Holders may request.

                  l. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the
Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities
as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.

                  m. The Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable
Securities copies of its annual reports on Form 10-K within ninety (90) days
after the end of the Company's fiscal year, and copies of its quarterly reports
on Form 10-Q within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter.

                  n. The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any
registration hereunder.

                  o. Within two (2) business days after a Registration Statement
which covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the
transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Warrant
Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration
Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.

                                       6

<PAGE>

                  p. The Company shall take such other reasonable actions
necessary, as requested by the Warrant Holders, to facilitate disposition by the
Warrant Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

         4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE WARRANT HOLDERS.

                  Each Warrant Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice
from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), such Warrant Holder will immediately
discontinue disposition of any Registrable Securities pursuant to any
Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such
Warrant Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(e) or receipt of notice that no supplement or
amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company
shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended certificates for shares of
Common Stock to a transferee of a Warrant Holder in accordance with the terms of
the Placement Agent Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable
Securities with respect to which a Warrant Holder has entered into a contract
for sale prior to the Warrant Holder's receipt of a notice from the Company of
the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first
sentence of 3(e) and for which the Warrant Holder has not yet settled.

         5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

                  All expenses incurred in connection with registrations,
filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without
limitation, all registration, listing and qualification fees, printers, legal
and accounting fees shall be paid by the Company.

         6. INDEMNIFICATION.

                  With respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:

                  a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will,
and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Warrant Holder, the
directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each
Person, if any, who controls any Warrant Holder within the meaning of the 1933
Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "INDEMNIFIED PERSON"), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable
attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several
(collectively, "CLAIMS") incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any
action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the
foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other
regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or

                                       7

<PAGE>

not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto ("INDEMNIFIED DAMAGES"),
to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in
which Registrable Securities are offered ("BLUE SKY FILING"), or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any 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 there under relating to the
offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement
(the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively,
"VIOLATIONS"). The Company shall reimburse the Warrant Holders and each such
controlling person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable, for any legal fees or disbursements 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): (x) shall not apply to a Claim by an
Indemnified Person 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 such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the
preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto; (y) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based
on a failure of the Warrant Holders to deliver or to cause to be delivered the
prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made
available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(e); and (z) 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. 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 Warrant
Holders pursuant to Section 9.

                  b. In connection with a Registration Statement, each Warrant
Holders agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend,
to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, employees, agents and
representatives of the Company, each Person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each an "INDEMNIFIED
PARTY"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may
become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such
Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or is based upon any Violation, in

                                       8

<PAGE>

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 Warrant Holders expressly for use in connection with such
Registration Statement or any post effective amendment thereto or in any filing
made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities
or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are
offered; and, subject to Section 6(d), such Warrant Holders will reimburse the
Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b)
and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected
without the prior written consent of such Warrant Holders, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Warrant
Holders shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim
or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Warrant
Holders 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 Warrant
Holders pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b)
with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified
Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the
prospectus was corrected and such new prospectus was delivered to each Warrant
Holders prior to such Warrant Holders' use of the prospectus to which the Claim
relates.

                  c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving
a Claim, 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 of not more than one counsel for such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
and only 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. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in
the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Warrant Holders
holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in
connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information
reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or
proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that
the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the

                                       9

<PAGE>

Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms
or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
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
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

                  d. 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 and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages
are incurred.

                  e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in
addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

         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 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
fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution 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 Warrant Holders the
benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any similar rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Warrant Holders 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 and the filing of such reports
and other documents as required by the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

                  c. furnish to each Warrant Holder so long as such Warrant
Holder 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 Warrant Holders 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 Warrant Holders to any transferee of all or any portion of
Registrable Securities if: (i) the Warrant Holder agrees in writing with the
transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such written
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) 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; and (iv) such transfer shall
have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Placement
Agent Agreement.

         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 the written consent of the Company
and Warrant Holders who then hold at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable
Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10
shall be binding upon each Warrant Holders and the Company. No such amendment
shall be effective to the extent that it applies to fewer than all of the
holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid
to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision
of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of
the parties to this Agreement.

         11. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  a. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities
whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable
Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or
election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or
enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO
REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN

                  Re:      TELENETICS CORPORATION

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We are counsel to Telenetics Corporation, a California corporation (the
"COMPANY"), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain
Placement Agency Agreement (the "PLACEMENT AGENT AGREEMENT") entered into by and
among the Company and the Warrant Holders named therein (collectively, the
"WARRANT HOLDERS") pursuant to which the Company issued to the Warrant Holders
shares of its Common Stock, no par value (the "COMMON STOCK") upon conversion of
the Warrants. Pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company also has
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Warrant Holders (the
"REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT") pursuant to which the Company agreed, among
other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 ACT"). In connection with the Company's obligations under the Registration
Rights Agreement, on ____________ ____, the Company filed a Registration
Statement on Form ________ (File No. 333-_____________) (the "REGISTRATION
STATEMENT") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to
the Registrable Securities which names each of the Warrant Holders as a selling
stockholder there under.

         In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the
SEC's staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order
declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME
OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge,
after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable
Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the
Registration Statement.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            [ISSUER'S COUNSEL]

                                            By:

ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED ("1933 ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND SHALL NOT
BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, DONATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, WHETHER OR
NOT FOR CONSIDERATION, BY THE HOLDER EXCEPT UPON THE ISSUANCE TO THE COMPANY OF
A FAVORABLE OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL OR THE SUBMISSION TO THE COMPANY OF SUCH
OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, IN EITHER
CASE, TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER SHALL NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE 1933

                                       of
                                  Common Stock

                This Common Stock Purchase Warrant is issued to:

                            ------------------------

                               ------------------

                               ------------------

by TELENETICS CORPORATION, a California corporation (hereinafter called the
"Company", which term shall include its successors and assigns).

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
set out, the registered holder of this Warrant as set forth on the books and
records of the Company (the "Holder") is entitled upon surrender of this Warrant
to purchase from the Company __________ __________________________ (______)
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, no par value per share (the
"Common Stock"), at the Exercise Price (as defined below) per share.

         This Warrant shall expire at the close of business on September 15,
2002.

         1. (a) The right to purchase shares of Common Stock represented by this
Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of
this Warrant (properly endorsed if required) at the principal office of the
Company at 25111 Arctic Ocean, Lake Forest, California 92630 (or such other
office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the
Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), and
upon payment to the Company, by cash or by certified check or bank draft, of the
Exercise Price for such shares. The Company agrees that the shares of Common
Stock so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record
owner of such shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the date on

                                       1

<PAGE>

which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares
of Common Stock as aforesaid. Certificates for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased (together with a cash adjustment in lieu of any fraction of a share)
shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding five
(5) business days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been
so exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing
the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, with respect to which this Warrant
shall not then have been exercised, in all other respects identical with this
Warrant, shall also be issued and delivered to the Holder within such time, or,
at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant
and the same returned to the Holder.

                  (b) This Warrant may be exercised to acquire, from and after
the date hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the first
page hereof (subject to adjustments described in this Warrant); provided,
however, the right hereunder to purchase such shares of Common Stock shall
expire at 5:00 p.m. Lake Forest, California time on September 15, 2002.

         2. This Warrant is being issued by the Company pursuant to the terms of
the Company's Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated September 15, 2000
(the "Memorandum").

         3. The Company covenants and agrees that all Common Stock upon issuance
against payment in full of the Exercise Price by the Holder pursuant to this
Warrant will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof (except to the extent
resulting from the Holder's own circumstances, actions or omissions). The
Company covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights
represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will have at all times
authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of
the rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, and
will procure at its sole expense upon each such reservation of shares the
listing thereof (subject to issuance or notice of issuance) on all stock
exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed or inter-dealer trading
systems on which the Common Stock is then traded. The Company will take all such
action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be so
issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of any national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may
be listed or inter-dealer trading system on which the Common Stock is then
traded. The Company will not take any action which would result in any
adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder if the
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant after such action upon full exercise of this Warrant and, together with
all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon exercise of all options and other rights to purchase shares of
Common Stock then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common
Stock then authorized by the Company's Restated and Amended Articles of
Incorporation, as then amended.

         4. The Initial Exercise Price is $2.75 per share of Common Stock
("Initial Exercise Price"). The Initial Exercise Price shall be adjusted as
provided for below in this Section 4 (the Initial Exercise Price, and the
Initial Exercise Price, as thereafter then adjusted, shall be referred to as the
"Exercise Price") and the Exercise Price from time to time shall be further
adjusted as provided for below in this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the

                                       2

<PAGE>

Exercise Price, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise
of this Warrant, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the
number of shares of Common Stock obtained by (i) multiplying the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii)
dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment. The Exercise Price shall be adjusted as follows:

                  (i) In the case of any amendment to the Company's Restated and
         Amended Articles of Incorporation to change the designation of the
         Common Stock or the rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions in
         respect to the Common Stock or division of the Common Stock, this
         Warrant shall be adjusted so as to provide that upon exercise thereof,
         the Holder shall receive, in lieu of each share of Common Stock
         theretofore issuable upon such exercise, the kind and amount of shares,
         other securities, money and property receivable upon such designation,
         change or division by the Holder issuable upon such exercise had the
         exercise occurred immediately prior to such designation, change or
         division. This Warrant shall be deemed thereafter to provide for
         adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
         to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The provisions of
         this Subsection 4(i) shall apply in the same manner to successive
         reclassifications, changes, consolidations and mergers.

                  (ii) If the Company shall at any time subdivide its
         outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of
         Common Stock, or declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon
         the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price
         in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or dividend or other
         distribution shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case
         the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller
         number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect
         immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately
         increased.

                  (iii) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the
         capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the
         Company with or into another corporation or other entity, or the sale
         of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another
         corporation or other entity shall be effected in such a way that
         holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
         securities, other evidence of equity ownership or assets with respect
         to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock, then, as a condition of
         such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale
         (except as otherwise provided below in this Section 4), lawful and
         adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter
         have the right to receive upon the exercise hereof upon the basis and
         upon the terms and conditions specified herein, such shares of stock,
         securities, other evidence of equity ownership or assets as may be
         issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of
         outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares

                                       3

<PAGE>

         of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon
         the exercise of this Warrant under this Section 4 had such
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not
         taken place, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made
         with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that
         the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for
         adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares of Common
         Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be
         applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock,
         securities, other evidence of equity ownership or assets thereafter
         deliverable upon the exercise hereof (including an immediate
         adjustment, by reason of such consolidation or merger, of the Exercise
         Price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such
         consolidation or merger if the value so reflected is less than the
         Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation or
         merger). Subject to the terms of this Warrant, in the event of a merger
         or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or
         other entity as a result of which the number of shares of common stock
         of the surviving corporation or other entity issuable to holders of
         Common Stock, is greater or lesser than the number of shares of Common
         Stock outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation,
         then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such merger or
         consolidation shall be adjusted in the same manner as though there were
         a subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
         The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale,
         unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation
         (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger
         or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written
         instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the Holder, the
         obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities,
         other evidence of equity ownership or assets as, in accordance with the
         foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive or
         otherwise acquire. If a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to
         and accepted by the holders of more than fifty (50%) percent of the
         outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company shall not effect any
         consolidation, merger or sale with the person having made such offer or
         with any affiliate of such person, unless prior to the consummation of
         such consolidation, merger or sale the Holder of this Warrant shall
         have been given a reasonable opportunity to then elect to receive upon
         the exercise of this Warrant the amount of stock, securities, other
         evidence of equity ownership or assets then issuable with respect to
         the number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with such offer.

                  (iv) In case the Company shall, at any time prior to exercise
         of this Warrant, consolidate or merge with any other corporation or
         other entity (where the Company is not the surviving entity) or
         transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other
         corporation or other entity, then the Company shall, as a condition
         precedent to such transaction, cause effective provision to be made so
         that the Holder of this Warrant upon the exercise of this Warrant after
         the effective date of such transaction shall be entitled to receive the
         kind and amount of shares, evidences of indebtedness and/or other
         securities or property receivable on such transaction by a holder of
         the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant was
         exercisable immediately prior to such transaction (without giving

                                       4

<PAGE>

         effect to any restriction upon such exercise); and, in any such case,
         appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and
         interest of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions
         of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable (as nearly as may be
         practicable) with respect to any shares, evidences of indebtedness or
         other securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon exercise of this
         Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any event described in this Section
         4(iv), the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to (i) exercise
         this Warrant immediately prior to such event at an Exercise Price equal
         to lesser of (1) the then Exercise Price or (2) the price per share of
         Common Stock paid in such event, or (ii) retain ownership of this
         Warrant, in which event, appropriate provisions shall be made so that
         the Warrant shall be exercisable at the Holder's option into shares of
         stock, securities or other equity ownership of the surviving or
         acquiring entity.

         Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section
4, the Company shall issue a certificate signed by its President or Vice
President and by its Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant
Secretary, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of
Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder), and the Exercise
Price after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such
certificates to be mailed (by first-class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder
of this Warrant. The Company shall make such certificate and mail it to the
Holder promptly after each adjustment.

         No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in connection with
any exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Company
shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the
applicable fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price then in effect.

         5. In the event the Company grants rights (other than rights granted
pursuant to a shareholder rights or poison pill plan) to all shareholders to
purchase Common Stock, the Holder shall have the same rights as if this Warrant
had been exercised immediately prior to such grant.

         6. The Holder shall, with respect to the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, have the registration rights set
forth in the Unit Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Holder pursuant
to which the Company is, among other things, issuing this Warrant. Such
registration rights are incorporated herein by this reference as if such
provisions had been set forth herein in full.

         7. This Warrant need not be changed because of any change in the
Exercise Price or in the number of shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder.

         8. The terms defined in this paragraph, whenever used in this Warrant,
shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the respective meanings
hereinafter specified. The term "Common Stock" shall mean and include the
Company's Common Stock, no par value per share, authorized on the date of the
original issue of this Warrant and shall also include in case of any
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale of assets of the
character referred to in Section 4 hereof, the stock, securities or assets

                                       5

<PAGE>

provided for in such paragraph. The term "Company" shall also include any
successor corporation to Telenetics Corporation by merger, consolidation or
otherwise. The term "outstanding" when used with reference to Common Stock shall
mean at any date as of which the number of shares thereof is to be determined,
all issued shares of Common Stock, except shares then owned or held by or for
the account of the Company. The term "1933 Act" shall mean the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or any successor Federal statute, and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other Federal
agency then administering the 1933 Act, thereunder, all as the same shall be in
effect at the time.

         9. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereby by the
Holder at the office or agency of the Company, for new Warrants of like tenor
representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number
of shares of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder,
each of such new Warrants to represent the right to subscribe for and purchase
such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be designated by the Holder at
the time of such surrender. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any such new
Warrants and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon delivery
of a bond of indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case
of any such mutilation, upon surrender or cancellation of this Warrant or such
new Warrants, the Company will issue to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor,
in lieu of this Warrant or such new Warrants, representing the right to
subscribe for and purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be
subscribed for and purchased hereunder.

         10. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to file timely all
reports required to be filed by it pursuant to Sections 13 or 15 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to provide such information as
will permit the Holder to sell this Warrant or any shares of Common Stock
acquired upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Rule 144 under the
1933 Act.

         11. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against the
transfer of this Warrant or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely
exercise of this Warrant. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any
voting rights or any rights as a shareholder of the Company. The rights and
obligations of the Company, of the Holder, and of any holder of shares of Common
Stock issuable hereunder, shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

         12. This Warrant sets forth the entire agreement of the Company and the
Holder of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with
respect to the rights of the Holder and the Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, notwithstanding the knowledge of such Holder of any
other agreement or the provisions of any agreement, whether or not known to the
Holder, and the Company represents that there are no agreements inconsistent
with the terms hereof or which purport in any way to bind the Holder of this
Warrant or the Common Stock.

         13. The validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant and
each of its terms and provisions shall be governed by the laws of the State of
California.
