                               Prospectus Summary

This Prospectus summary highlights selected information contained in this
Prospectus. To understand this offering fully, you should read the entire
document carefully. Please pay particular attention to the section entitled
"Risk Factors" and the section entitled "Financial Statements".

Unless otherwise indicated, this Prospectus assumes that any of our outstanding
options or warrants have not been exercised into shares of our Common Stock.

                        Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc.

Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc.("DDSI"), a Delaware corporation incorporated in
1994, is the successor to Compu-Color, Inc., an Iowa corporation. The operations
of DDSI were started as a division of ASI Computer systems, Inc. of Waterloo
Iowa in 1986. Compu-Color, Inc. was formed in July 1989 and as of July 1, 1989
purchased the assets of the Compu-Color division of ASI Computer Systems, Inc.

DDSI develops, assembles and markets computer installations, consisting of
hardware and software, which capture video and scanned images, digitize the
image, link the digitized images to text and store the image and text on a
computer database which allows for transmitting the image and text by computer
or over telephone transmission lines to remote locations.

Imaging technology enables computers to record, store and retrieve both textual
information and visual images. The common problem in imaging technology is how
to record, store, process and retrieve information and images within the same
system. DDSI's software programs utilize technology to link the textual
information with the images so that customers can record and retrieve related
text and images. DDSI originally developed the software to address the
information retrieval problems of tax assessors. DDSI subsequently adapted the
software for use by law enforcement agencies and management of jail facilities.
DDSI's software also addresses different information retrieval needs such as
reproducing line ups and producing housing badges (jails), bar coded wristbands
for identification which facilitates movement within jails and courts and
storing and retrieving hand written and computer generated document images
within arrest records.

DDSI anticipates that in the future it will need to adapt its imaging technology
software to new uses, such as security devices, employee and school
identification systems and access control systems. These potential applications
are currently in the discussion phase and there are no Company resources
budgeted for them at this time.

The principal product of DDSI is the Compu-Capture(R) Law Enforcement Program,
which is marketed to law enforcement agencies and jail facilities. The program
captures a video or scanned image (mug shot) of a subject that is stored by
computer application along with the booking record, physical description and
other pertinent information about the subject. Compu-Capture(R) was introduced
into the market in 1989. Since that time, DDSI has installed approximately 350
systems in 46 states in the United States, Europe, South America, Canada, Mexico
and Bahamas. During the year ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 93%, 95%
and 99%, respectively, of DDSI's revenues were to domestic customers.

DDSI has marketed the Compu-Color(R) Assessor Program that combines digitized
images from videotapes or photographs of real estate with buildings or other
improvements, together with relevant tax assessment information. Compu-Color(R)
was introduced in 1986. The program was designed for use by local tax assessors

<PAGE>

as a method of maintaining a visual record of all assessed improved properties
that can be rapidly accessed with the relevant textual information. The
Compu-Color Assessor Program contributed approximately two percent of DDSI's
revenues in 1999. The market for this product is minimal, therefore, DDSI has
withdrawn from this portion of the market place.

                                       9, 2001 as bridge funding through the
                                       issuance of Convertible Debentures
                                       pursuant to the "First Amendment to
                                       Secured Convertible Debenture Purchase
                                       Agreement" dated March 5, 2001 and the
                                       original agreement (the "Secured
                                       Convertible Debenture Purchase
                                       Agreement") dated December 28, 2000. DDSI
                                       is scheduled to receive approximately
                                       another $400,000 in convertible
                                       debentures within ten days after the
                                       effectiveness of this registration
                                       statement from the issuance of
                                       Convertible Debentures. If all the
                                       warrants in this offering are exercised,
                                       the gross proceeds to us from the
                                       exercise of warrants will be
                                       approximately $21,600. DDSI intends to
                                       use the net proceeds for working capital
                                       and expand existing operations.

Market for our Common Stock:           Our Common Stock trades on the Over-the

                                       no assurance that there will be a market
                                       in the future for our Common Stock.

                                  Risk Factors

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In addition to
the other information in this prospectus, you should carefully consider the
following risk factors before investing in our securities. If any of the
following risks were to actually occur, Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc.'s
business would likely suffer. Consequently, the price of Digital Descriptor
Systems, Inc.'s common stock could decline, and investors may lose all or part
of their investment in Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc.'s common stock.


Continuing operating losses and need for financing.

For years ending December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 Digital Descriptor Systems,
Inc. ("DDSI"), had operating losses of $2,030,052, $1,205,517 and 1,331,391,
respectively. The Company has never been profitable and continues to incur
losses from operations. There can be no assurance that sufficient revenue,
income and cash flows will be generated to support DDSI's operations or that
DDSI will ever operate profitably. DDSI is dependent upon receipt of the net
proceeds from the current financing to finance the continued operations of DDSI
and will need additional financing to fund its future operations and development
of new products.

DDSI is dependent on its ability to attract new customers

Once a customer has purchased a system from DDSI, the revenues from that
customer will decline significantly and will consist primarily of maintenance
fees and upgrades to the system unless the customer expands the system or DDSI
develops new products for the system. DDSI is dependent on its ability to
attract new customers or develop new products to market to existing customers.
DDSI's ability to make sales both to new customers and existing customers will
be significantly affected by DDSI's development of new products and upgrading of
existing products to reflect current technology and DDSI's ability to price
products competitively.

Customer purchasing restrictions.

DDSI is in highly competitive and speculative areas of business, each of which
involves a substantial degree of risk. Economic and political conditions and
competition in the industry will affect the success of DDSI. Law enforcement and
taxing jurisdictions are subject to political, fiscal and budgetary constraints
and purchases of DDSI's products may be delayed substantially due to these
political and budgetary processes. The nature of the public sector market and
the government procurement process are expected to result in an irregular and
unpredictable revenue stream for DDSI. DDSI's performance in any one quarter is
not necessarily indicative of sales trends or future performance. Large
procurements by a single customer, allow DDSI to record significant revenues
only during the term of procurement.

Public contract requirements can preclude sales.

DDSI's Compu-Capture(R) product is being marketed primarily to law enforcement
agencies. As public agencies, these prospective purchasers are subject to public
contract requirements that vary from one jurisdiction to another. Some public
contract requirements may be onerous or even impossible for DDSI to satisfy,
such as large bonding requirements, and DDSI may be precluded from making sales
in these jurisdictions. In addition, public contracts frequently are awarded
only after a formal competitive bidding process. This process to date has been,
and may continue to be, protracted. Even following contract award, significant
delays in contract implementation are possible.

<PAGE>

Compu-Scan 3000 FBI certification.

Under federal regulation, law enforcement agencies in the United States may only
utilize fingerprint systems that have passed an extensive FBI certification
process. As a result any inkless fingerprint system developed by DDSI must pass
the FBI certification process before it can be distributed to law enforcement
agencies in the United States.

The Company feels it has completed all of the final seven tests required and
submitted the results to the FBI on February 15, 2001. There are no assurances
by the Company that the FBI will certify this technology and device.

The success of DDSI depends significantly upon the efforts of the President

The success of DDSI depends significantly upon the efforts of the President,
Garrett U. Cohn. See "Management". The loss of services of Mr. Cohn would likely
have a materially adverse effect on the business and the future prospects of
DDSI. DDSI is the beneficiary of life insurance policies in the amount of
$2,000,000 on the life of Garrett U. Cohn.

DDSI must continually advance its technology

The ability of DDSI to compete successfully in the digitized imaging market
which is characterized by rapidly changing technology, will depend in part upon
its ability to continually advance its technology and to develop new
applications and designs for its products.

DDSI's reliance upon sub-contractors can impair product installations.

Because DDSI's product applications are components of larger systems
applications, DDSI frequently must rely upon sub-contractors to supply hardware
and software used in the complete system installations. If the sub-contractors'
ability to implement the installation of their component is impaired, DDSI's
ability to successfully complete the project would be delayed or impaired.

The issuance of these shares will result in dilution.

The issuance of these shares will have a dilutive effect on our common stock and
may lower our stock price. We have reserved a significant number of shares of
our common stock for issuance upon the conversion of convertible debentures, and
the exercise of our warrants.

As of this offering we have outstanding $400,000 of convertible debentures that
can be converted into shares of our Common Stock. Within ten trading days after
the effective date of this registration additional debentures amounting to the
remaining $400,000 will be issued. The number of shares we will issue upon the
conversion of these debentures fluctuates with our Common Stock market price,
cannot be determined until the day of conversion. Additionally, there is no
limit on the number of shares of our Common Stock that may be issued upon the
conversion of these convertible debentures.

These convertible debentures have a conversion price that is the lesser of (1)
$0.08 and (2) 50% of the average of the lowest three inter-day prices (which
need not occur on consecutive trading days) during the twenty trading days
immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. Thus, the debentures will
be converted at prices below the current market price on the conversion date. If
conversions of the debentures occur, shareholders may be subject to an immediate

<PAGE>

dilution in their per share net tangible book value. Two hundred thousand
dollars ($200,000) of the convertible debentures may be converted into Common
Stock at any time prior to their maturity date of December 28, 2001, with the
remaining two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) convertible at any time prior
to their maturity date of March 4, 2002.

As of March 5, 2001, we had outstanding a total of 600,000 warrants to purchase
our Common Stock. 400,000 of these warrants have at an exercise price equal to
 .036 per share. These warrants can be exercised at any time through December 28,
2003. 200,000 of these warrants have an exercise price equal to the lesser of
(i) $.036 per share and (ii) the average of the lowest three (3) closing sale
prices for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading days immediately
prior to the closing date. These warrants can be exercised any time through and
including March 4, 2004.

As of March 5, 2000 DDSI has reserved for 200% of the minimum number of shares
of Common Stock, which would be issuable upon conversion in full of the
debentures, amounting to 10,000,000 shares of authorized and unissued common
stock. These reserve amounts are our good faith estimate of the number of shares
that DDSI believes the Company needs to reserve. DDSI can provide no assurance
as to how many shares DDSI will ultimately need to issue upon the conversion of
the debentures. If DDSI is required to issue additional shares DDSI will be
required to file an additional registration statement for those shares, a
process which will be costly and time consuming. The issuance of these shares
will dilute our common stock per share net tangible book value and may result in
a decline in our stock price.

You may have difficulties trading and obtaining quotations on "penny stock"
issues.

The shares of common stock offered are for "penny stocks" as defined in the
Exchange Act. These shares are traded in the over-the-counter market on the OTC
Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose
of or obtain accurate quotations as to the price of the shares of the common
stock being registered. In addition, the "penny stock" rules adopted by the SEC
under the Exchange Act make the sale of the shares of the common stock subject
to certain regulations, which impose sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers. For example, broker-dealers selling such securities must, prior
to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that
discloses the risks of investing in such securities. Furthermore, if the person
purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an
established customer of the broker-dealer, the broker-dealer must also approve
the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the
customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives.
The broker-dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is
suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of
evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the SEC's
rules may limit the number of potential purchasers of the shares of the common
stock.

If DDSI can meet the listing requirements in the future, management intends to
apply to include the shares of the Common Stock being registered hereby for
quotation on The NASDAQ Small Cap Market operated by The NASDAQ Stock Market.
Our Common Stock has not yet been approved for quotation on The NASDAQ Small Cap
Market and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop
or if such market is developed that it will be sustained. The NASDAQ Stock
Market recently approved changes to the standards for companies to become listed
on The NASDAQ Small Cap Market, including, without limitation, new corporate
governance standards, a new requirement that companies seeking listing have net
tangible assets of $4,000,000, market capitalization of $50,000,000 or net
income of $750,000 and other qualitative requirements. If we are unable to
satisfy the requirements for quotation on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, trading

<PAGE>

in the common stock being registered hereby would continue to be conducted on
the OTC Bulletin Board. Even if the shares of the Common Stock are listed for
quotation on The NASDAQ Small Cap Market, the market price of the shares must
remain above $4.00 per share or else such shares will be subject to the "penny
stock" rules of the Commission discussed above. If the market price of such
shares falls below $1.00 per share, such shares will be delisted from The NASDAQ
Small Cap Market and will once again be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Resale restrictions on transferring "penny stocks".

Various state securities laws impose restrictions on transferring "penny stocks"
and as a result, investors in the Common Stock may have their ability to sell
their shares of the Common Stock impaired. For example, the Utah Securities
Commission prohibits brokers from soliciting buyers for "penny stocks", which
makes selling them more difficult.

Proceeds from the financing to be used for General Working Capital.

DDSI has allocated a portion of the net proceeds of this financing for use to
pay outstanding payables and as working capital. As to such funds, investors
will be relying on the judgment and discretion of DDSI's management without
specific information as to the uses that are proposed to be made of such funds.
See "Use of Proceeds."

Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks.

Management believes that this Prospectus contains forward-looking statements,
including statements regarding, among other items, DDSI's future plans and
growth strategies and anticipated trends in the industry in which DDSI operates.
These forward-looking statements are based largely on DDSI's control. Actual
results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a
result of factors described herein, including, among others, regulatory or
economic influences. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no
assurance that the forward-looking information should not be regarded as a
representation by DDSI or any other person that the objectives and plans of DDSI
will be achieved.

                                 Use of Proceeds

DDSI will not receive any proceeds upon the issuance of the Common Stock. That
is the subject of this registration. However, DDSI received $200,000 on December
29, 2000 and $200,000 on March 9, 2001 as bridge funding through the issuance of
Convertible Debentures pursuant to the "First Amendment to Secured Convertible
Debenture Purchase Agreement" dated March 5, 2001 and the original agreement
dated December 28, 2000. DDSI is scheduled to receive approximately another
$400,000 within ten days after the effectiveness of this registration statement
from the issuance of Convertible Debentures. If all the warrants in this
offering are exercised, the gross proceeds to us from the exercise of warrants
will be approximately $21,600. DDSI intends to use the net proceeds for working
capital.

                               Our Dividend Policy

DDSI anticipates that for the foreseeable future, earnings will be retained for
the development of is business. Accordingly, DDSI does not anticipate paying
dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of future
dividends will be at the sole discretion of DDSI's Board of Directors and will
depend the Company's general business condition.

            Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Plan of Operations

The short-term objective of the Company is to continue to expand the sale and
acceptance of its core business solutions by adding more sales personnel and
demonstrating at more trade exhibits. The Company also is pursuing the FBI
certification and roll out of the Compu-Scan 3000 fingerprint capturing device
in order to capitalize on its unique patent pending technology. The Company
feels it has successfully passed the FBI requirement for certification; however,
there are no assurances by DDSI that the FBI will certify this technology and
device. Such certification is not required to sell this device for commercial
(non-government) applications.

The Company's long-term objectives are to obtain enough products to sell into
its basic business market--Criminal Justice -- so that sales will expand
adequately to allow for profits. Three such new products are the Compu-Scan
3000, FMS (Fingerprint Matching System), and Compu-Capture lite.

The FMS (Fingerprint Matching System) is a product that we licensed from Harris
Corporation (NYSE: "HAR"), Melbourne, FL to sell its product to the criminal
justice field. The Company anticipates additional development costs of
approximately $100,000 in 2001, which is required to prepare this product for

<PAGE>

market. The FMS will need to be integrated as part of the Company's software
offerings and will also be introduced to large-project integrators. On February
15, 2000, the Company introduced the FMS to the criminal justice industry. The
Company also plans to develop a sales channel into the Federal government.

The Company believes that it will reach profitability during the first half of
year 2002. The Company estimates that it will need to raise $2,000,000 in the
next 12 months to cover its operating costs until it can reach positive cash
flow and profitability. The Company may need to raise funds through the sale of
its common stock or issuance of convertible notes, if funds provided by
operations fall short. This estimate considers current operating and marketing
dollars plus the remaining costs required to complete for market both the
Compu-Scan and FMS solutions. There is no guarantee that DDSI will be able to
raise the required funds through the sale of its Common Stock or issuance of
convertible notes.

One key to the Company reaching profitability is the approval of the Compu-Scan
product. Though the Company cannot guarantee a date when the Compu-Scan will
receive certification, we are hopeful that the approval will be given sometime
within the next six months. We estimate that the Compu-Scan would add one
million dollars in revenues in the first twelve months on the market growing to
three million dollars in revenues during the second twelve months.

In conjunction with bringing the Compu-Scan 3000 online, the Company is doing
the following in its effort to reach profitability:

         o  Cut costs in areas that add the least value to DDSI.
         o  Derive funds through investigating business alliances with other
            companies who may wish to license the Compu-Scan device.
         o  Increase revenues through the introduction of a scaled down version
            of our Compu-Capture product. The Compu-Capture lite is a low cost
            product and will open up a greater portion of the criminal justice
            market place for potential sales.

Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2000 Year Ended December 31, 1999
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000, $3,026,458, increased by 6% from
1999. The Company attributes this to the fact that the SI-3000 product line had
an increase in sales and the upgrade to Compu-Capture was completed. The Company
generates its revenues through software licenses, hardware, post customer
support arrangements and other services. The increase in the Company's software
fees during the period is attributed to the continued increase in the sales of
the SI-3000 product. Maintenance revenues increased $44,315 or 8% from the prior
period primarily due to an increase in the Company's customer's entering into
such arrangements. Other revenues consist of sales of supplies that the Company
makes available to its customers, such as wristbands, ID cards and print packs.
Fewer customers ordered such items in the year ended December 31, 2000 versus
1999, which accounted for the decrease of $97,878 or 61%. The Company's gross
profit decreased 24% during the year ending December 31, 2000 versus the year
ending December 31, 1999, due to an increase in sales of the SI-3000 product
line which has lower margins. Overall the gross profit percentage per sale
decreased 19%.

Costs and expenses increased $376,455 or 12% during the year ended December 31,
2000 versus the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase is due to an
increase in general and administrative expenses in the amount of $249,490.
Additionally, research and development costs increased in the amount of $106,751
due principally to the continued upgrading of the Company's core software
packages to 32 bit code. Costs of revenues during this period increased as a
result of the corresponding increase in revenues as described above.

<PAGE>

The net loss for the Company increased 68% for the year ending December 31, 2000
to $2,030,052 from $1,205,517 for the year ending December 31, 1999. This was
principally due to a lower percentage increase of revenues than the percentage
increase of costs and expenses during the year.

Net cash used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2000 and
1999 was $1,334,167 and $866,542, respectively. The change in cash from
operating activities of $467,625 was principally due to the increase in the net
loss for 2000.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $57,348 and ($699,570)
for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 respectively, reflecting a change
of $756,918. This change was a result of decreased software development costs of
$413,604 in 2000, the purchase of furniture and equipment of $30,325 and
proceeds from the sale of restricted cash of $99,548.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,302,473 and $1,664,716 for the
years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, reflecting a change of
$362,243. This decrease was principally due to less proceeds received from the
issuance of the Company's common stock in the 2000 year.

Year Ended December 31, 1999 vs. Year Ended December 31, 1998

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $2,847,183 versus $2,659,701
for the year ended December 31,1998, an increase of $187,482 or 7%. The Company
generates its revenues through software licenses, hardware, post customer
support arrangements and other services. The increase in the Company's software
and hardware revenues fees year over year is attributed to the continued
increase in the sales of the SI-3000 product line and an increase in revenues
relating to an upgrade of Compu-Capture. Maintenance revenues increased $49,625
or 10% from the prior year primarily from an increase in the Company's
customer's entering into such arrangements. Other revenues consist of sales of
supplies that the Company makes available to its customers, such as wristbands,
ID cards and print packs. Fewer customers ordered such items in the year ended
December 31, 1999 versus the year ended December 31, 1998, which accounted for
the decrease of $204,326 or 56%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues
modestly decreased from 66% to 65% from fiscal year 1998 to fiscal year 1999.

Costs and expenses increased $61,068 or 2% during the year ended December 31,
1999 versus the year ended December 31, 1998. This increase was principally due
to a modest increase in general and administrative costs of $150,973,
principally due to an increase in professional fees. This increase was offset by
a decrease in research and development costs of $187,386 or 30%. During 1999,
the Company capitalized $413,604 of software development costs relating to
Compu-Scan, as technological feasibility was reached, thus accounting for the
decrease in research and development costs from 1998 to 1999. Sales and
marketing costs increased by $92,412 or 10% from 1998 to 1999 principally due to
the hiring of additional sales personnel. Depreciation and amortization
decreased by $59,082 or 43% from 1998 to 1999. This decrease is principally due
to the amortization of intangible assets in the amount of $50,000 during 1998,
which was not recurring in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's revenues have been insufficient to cover the cost of revenues and
operating expenses. Therefore, the Company has been dependent on private
placements of its common stock and issuance of convertible notes in order to
sustain operations. In addition, there can be no assurances that the proceeds
from private or other capital will continue to be available, or that revenues
will increase to meet the Company's cash needs, or that a sufficient amount of
the Company's common stock or other securities can or will be sold or that any
common stock purchase options/warrants will be exercised to fund the operating
needs of the Company.

December 31, 2000

At December 31, 2000, the Company had assets of $1,783,044 compared to
$2,049,383 on December 31, 1999, a decrease of $266,339 and stockholders' equity
of $22,112 on December 31, 2000 compared to a stockholders' equity of $445,498
on December 31, 1999, a decrease of $423,386. This decrease in stockholders'
equity for the year ended December 31, 2000 resulted from the issuance of the
Company's common stock totaling $1,164,006 offset by the net loss for the year
ended December 31, 2000 of $2,030,052.

As of December 31, 2000, the Company had a negative working capital of $731,891,
a change of $335,391 from a negative working capital of $396,500 at December 31,
1999, which was primarily a result of a decrease in cash and restricted cash of
$73,894 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $384,421 and
an increase in convertible debentures of $200,000.

Other Events

During March 2001, DDSI issued two convertible notes for $200,000 each, with
simple interest accruing at the annual rate of 12%, in March 2001. Interest
payable on the Notes shall be payable quarterly commencing June 30, 2001. The
Holder shall have the right to convert the principal amount and interest due
under the notes into Shares of the DDSI's Common Stock. The note and the common
shares issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933. DDSI also issued Common Stock purchase warrants to the
note holders for the right to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock of DDSI at
the lesser of i) $.036 per share, and ii) the average of the three (3) closing
sales prices for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) days immediately prior
to the closing date.

It is anticipated that the $ 200,000 convertible debentures will be converted
into shares in accordance with the terms of these debentures.

During April 2001, DDSI issued two convertible notes for $100,000 and $15,000
respectively with simple interest accruing at the annual rate of 10%. Interest
payable on the Notes shall be payable quarterly commencing June 30, 2001. The
Holder shall have the right to convert the principal amount and interest due
under the notes into Shares of the DDSI's Common Stock. The note and the common
shares issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933.

It is anticipated that these convertible debentures will be converted into
shares in accordance with the terms of these debentures.

                                  Our Business

DDSI develops, assembles and markets computer installations, consisting of
hardware and software, which capture video and scanned images, digitize the
image, link the digitized images to text and store the image and text on a
computer database which allows for transmitting the image and text by computer
or over telephone transmission lines to remote locations.

Imaging technology enables computers to record, store and retrieve both textual
information and visual images. The common problem in imaging technology is how
to record, store, process and retrieve information and images within the same
system. DDSI's software programs utilize technology to link the textual
information with the images so that customers can record and retrieve related
text and images. DDSI originally developed the software to address the
information retrieval problems of tax assessors. DDSI subsequently adapted the
software for use by law enforcement agencies and management of jail facilities.
DDSI's software also addresses different information retrieval needs such as
reproducing line ups and producing housing badges (jails), bar coded wristbands
for identification which facilitates movement within jails and courts and
storing and retrieving hand written and computer generated document images
within arrest records.

DDSI anticipates that in the future it will need to adapt its imaging technology
software to new uses, such as security devices, employee and school
identification systems and access control systems. These potential applications
are currently in the discussion phase and there are no Company resources
budgeted for them at this time.

The principal product of DDSI is the Compu-Capture(R) Law Enforcement Program,
which is marketed to law enforcement agencies and jail facilities. The program
captures a video or scanned image (mug shot) of a subject that is stored by
computer application along with the booking record, physical description and
other pertinent information about the subject. Compu-Capture(R) was introduced
into the market in 1989. Since that time, DDSI has installed approximately 350
systems in 46 states in the United States, Europe, South America, Canada, Mexico
and Bahamas. During the year ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 93%, 95%
and 99%, respectively, of DDSI's revenues were to domestic customers.

DDSI has marketed the Compu-Color(R) Assessor Program that combines digitized
images from videotapes or photographs of real estate with buildings or other
improvements, together with relevant tax assessment information. Compu-Color(R)
was introduced in 1986. The program was designed for use by local tax assessors
as a method of maintaining a visual record of all assessed improved properties
that can be rapidly accessed with the relevant textual information. The
Compu-Color Assessor Program contributed approximately two percent of DDSI's
revenues in 1999. The market for this product is minimal, therefore, DDSI has
withdrawn from this portion of the market place.

                              Product and Services

Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc. provides hardware and software computer
installations to law enforcement agencies, which installations utilize digitized
video and scanned images and text in order to record and retrieve information.
DDSI has developed and utilizes computer programs that digitize videotaped or
scanned images to a computer program medium and provide for rapid retrieval of
the information together with related textual information pertaining to the
property or subject.

<PAGE>

Compu-Capture(R)
Compu-Capture(R) is the law enforcement application of DDSI's system which
combines digitized image and textual information. The system has been developed
primarily for the criminal justice market, including law enforcement, jail and
correctional facilities.

Information is entered into the Compu-Capture(R) system at the time a subject is
booked or enters the facility. A video image of the subject, a "mug shot", is
taken by the booking officer. One problem experienced by law enforcement
agencies in booking subjects is the risk to officers as a result of the physical
movement and transportation of subjects during the booking process. The
Compu-Capture(R) system allows the law enforcement agency to complete more than
one stage in the booking process, such as entering booking information and
taking a mug shot, at one location. In addition, the Compu-Capture(R) system
reduces the time needed to take and process mug shots and improves the quality
of the mug shot. The booking officer can preview each mug shot image on the
computer screen before processing and storing the image to insure accuracy and
clarity. Once an acceptable image is obtained, the booking officer can rapidly
store the image through the computer application, along with the booking record,
physical characteristics and other pertinent text material.

The information entered into the Compu-Capture(R) system can include names,
aliases, physical characteristics, such as size, hair color, facial scars or
physical deformities, and fingerprint codes. The Compu-Capture(R) systems allow
the officer conducting a search to assign priorities or values to physical
characteristics for the computer's search of the database of existing subjects.
Features that are difficult to disguise or alter, such as facial scars, can be
assigned higher values than other characteristics such as hair color or facial
hair. In the requested search, the Compu-Capture(R) system produces images that
meet or exceed the suggested requirements of the Department of Justice National
Crime Information Commission 2000 ("NCIC" 2000), the standard adopted by Federal
Bureau of Investigation for the quality of mug shots and their transmission. The
NCIC does not certify or otherwise approve any mug shot systems.

Once entered into the Compu-Capture(R) system, the visual image and textual
material can be utilized in a variety of ways. Mug shots can be retrieved on the
computer screen or printed individually, with or without text information, or as
part of a computer generated line-up. The digitized mug shot and information can
be transmitted to remote locations by telephone line or radio frequency or
through computer networks and can be retrieved rapidly from central and/or
remote locations.

To date, DDSI has installed approximately 350 Compu-Capture(R) systems.

The Compu-Capture(R) system's technology can be used in commercial applications
that are unrelated to law enforcement. DDSI believes that versions of this
system are suitable for security or access control, identification cards with
photographs for employee identification, voter registration cards, national
welfare identification cards, drivers' licenses, all with or without the use of
fingerprints and/or signatures. The various products that DDSI currently
provides are as follows:

Compu-Capture(R) 2000
Compu-Capture(R) 2000 (CPC2000) is DDSI's stand alone application. This version
of the Compu-Capture(R) product line contains its own database and can function
on its own without integration to an existing records or jail management system.
The database allows for the capture of basic demographic system. The database
allows physical characteristics. This information can then be sorted for quick
and easy retrieval of a particular record or various records with similar

<PAGE>

characteristics. CPC2000 can be used on a stand alone Personal Computer or
networked together. The price range for the Compu-Capture (R) 2000 is $12,000 to
$45,000. The price range varies depending on the size of the system ordered and
the jurisdictions specific requirements.

Compu-Capture(R) 2000/FE
Compu-Capture(R) 2000/FE is DDSI's "front end" product that image-enables any
host based records or jail management system. The advantage to this product is
it eliminates multiple databases and duplicate data entry from one system to
another. The price range for the Compu-Capture (R) 2000/FE $16,000 to $50,000.
The price range varies depending on the size of the system ordered and the
jurisdictions specific requirements.

Compu-Capture(R) 2000/API
DDSI is the only Company to offer its API's to system integrators with client
server applications. A systems integrator can make calls to these API's and
build a seamless interface from their records or jail management system to
DDSI's imaging system. The benefit for the end user is a self contained product
that has a consistent look and feel, eliminating the need to learn the
functionality of two separate systems. The price range for the Compu-Capture(R)
2000/API $16,000 to $50,000. The price range varies depending on the size of the
system ordered and the jurisdictions specific requirements.

Compu-Capture(R) lite
DDSI has developed a "lite" version of its software to address the needs of
smaller agencies of the arresting market. The "lite" version will provide an
entry-level system that the jurisdictions can build upon. The base price for the
Compu-Capture(R) lite is $3995.

Compu-Sketch
The Compu-Sketch product is a composite sketching program, that allows an
individual with little to no artistic ability to draw a sketch of a persons face
as described by the witness. The program contains an interactive witness module
that asks the witness basic questions which are then used to create the
composite face. The application consists of over 40,000 features, that when
combined can create millions of different looking suspects. The user simply
selects a description of each face part from a menu and the system will then
assemble the parts to complete the composite. The user can manipulate each part
and/or add accessories, such as hats, jewelry and facial hair. The Compu-Sketch
is presently installed in approximately 500 jurisdictions worldwide. The base
price for the Compu-Sketch(R) $2495.

Compu-Scene
The Compu-Scene program makes accident and crime scene drawings easy. The
application uses a computer aided drafting program to compose the drawings with
simple drag-n-drop technology to place the specialized drawings or templates.
DDSI has created hundreds of templates including; weapons, body parts,
furniture, vehicles, shrubs, street signs, etc. The user simply draws a room or
intersection to scale with the CAD program and then simply drops in the
pre-drawn templates to complete the scene.

SI-3000
DDSI's management believes that the type and amount of information a company,
agency or jurisdiction collects and generates is growing at a fast pace. The
variety of information collected includes hand written documents, computer
generated reports, mugshots, fingerprints, photographs, video and digital
images. DDSI believes that most agencies have their information stored in
multiple formats and locations and is generally maintained in a stand-alone
environment (i.e. in file cabinets and non-networked computer databases). In
order for the information to be useful, it must be accurate and easily

<PAGE>

accessible throughout the agency. Without an integrated information management
strategy, data integrity suffers while productivity diminishes. DDSI believes
that today's technology trend is moving towards client server applications in an
open environment (i.e. allowing access to information stored at multiple
locations) because system server applications provides agencies with a method to
share data while driving computing costs down.

SI-3000 is an information management strategy that capitalized on the above
referenced technology trend. The SI-3000 provides companies and agencies the
opportunity to purchase products and services that will move them in the
direction of "paperless environment".

The SI-3000 product creates an "Electronic file folder" that integrates hand
written documents, computer reports, photos, fingerprints, signatures and data
into a central repository. Once the information is indexed, it becomes
accessible to the end user in a multitude of ways, all with a single easy to use
interface. In addition, SI-3000 can be easily customized by non-programming
personnel. This provides a significant competitive advantage in the
labor-intensive systems integration business. The price for the SI-3000 $45,000
to $285,000. which is reflected by the scalability of the final design and
multi-jurisdictional requirements, i.e. state or county correctional locations.

Compu-Color(R) Assessor Program
The Compu-Color(R) Assessor Program has recently been discontinued by DDSI. A
lack of a national imaging standard has made this an unprofitable product to
carry. This product applies imaging technology to produce digitized images
related to textual information for use in tax assessment jurisdictions. Tax
assessors generally maintain pictures of all properties with buildings or other
improvements within their jurisdictions. The Compu-Color(R) Assessor Program
allows an assessor's office to electronically maintain this picture as part of a
computer system that links the image with relevant text about the property. The
image and text can be retrieved and viewed together on the computer screen or
printed out on an attached printer.

The Compu-Color(R) system processes a video or photographic image of improved
properties and stores the image to a computerized record, together with relevant
information from the assessor's records with respect to the improved properties.
The program can create a hard copy picture of the image, including images of any
comparable improved properties.

As an additional service that was provided for assessor's offices interested in
purchasing the Compu-Color(R) system, DDSI will process and store the assessor's
existing files on a Compu-Color(R) system. This service will enable assessors to
have all records on the same computerized system.

                             Maintenance and Support

In addition to the installation of DDSI's systems in an agency (tax assessor or
law enforcement), DDSI trains the personnel of the agency in the use and
operation of the system. After installation, DDSI provides maintenance and
support for a limited period of time. DDSI also offers its customers ongoing
maintenance and support plus updates of the software, for an annual fee. Over
ninety percent (90%) of DDSI's customers purchase ongoing maintenance and
support at the time of installation of the system.

<PAGE>

                                  New Products

FMS  ("Fingerprint Matching System")
In February of 2000, DDSI secured a royalty license from Harris Corporation,
Melbourne, Florida for a software suite called PowerMatch(TM) that enables the
end user to capture, digitize, store, retrieve and/or match or sort
fingerprints. The Harris agreement provides DDSI with a worldwide, non-exclusive
license to use the Power Match Software (FMS). The FMS is a fingerprint matching
solution and can be utilized either as a stand alone unit or in conjunction with
the Compu-Scan Device.

DDSI renamed the software FMS ("Fingerprint Matching System"). DDSI has the
license for the systems use in the criminal justice field. The license calls for
DDSI to pay a sliding scale royalty fee to Harris Corporation on FMS gross
sales. To date no FMS sales have occurred.

The current Compu-Capture(R), Compu-Scan 3000 and SI 3000 can be integrated with
this software. It performs its matching, storage and capturing functions under
the FBI approved AINSI-NIST and NCIC 2000 regulations. This software has several
superior features that allows it to be installed on NT servers as well as PCs,
for example and thus is very flexible in jurisdiction's size. Since it is
completely scalable (from 500 to 500,000 files), DDSI can offer it for large
national databases such as voter registration, drivers license or national
security identification systems. Many of the current installed jurisdictions of
DDSI can use a positive ID system integrated to their mugshot and records
management modules.

The Company's current sales force will offer FMS along with the current
products. Additional sales personnel will be added as sales acceptance is
achieved.

Compu-Scan 3000
The Company entered into in a development contract with ISC/US (Fort Lauderdale,
FL and Hamburg, Germany), an engineering firm having a specialized background in
fingerprint technology, to develop a computerized inkless, non-contact
fingerprint capture device called the Compu-Scan 3000. The commercialization of
this technology has been the primary focus of the Company's development
activities. Under this agreement, the Company granted ISC/US the funds (non
reimbursable) to develop the Compu-Scan 3000 based on certain specification
requirements provided by DDSI. The development process of the Compu-Scan 3000
will not be deemed complete until FBI certification is achieved. In return, the
Company has worldwide rights to sell this product without a royalty fee. FBI
certification will be necessary to sell the Compu-Scan 3000 device to the state,
local and federal jurisdictions, but such certification is not required to sell
the device for commercial (non government) uses.

DDSI plans to distribute the Compu-Scan, a non-contact inkless direct reader
fingerprint system in conjunction with its Compu-Capture(R) products.
Additionally, DDSI intends to market the non-contact inkless fingerprint system
for commercial applications, such as in the security and biometric systems
industry, which can incorporate the product in access control devices. DDSI's
non-contact inkless fingerprint system electronically reads and creates a
digital image of a fingerprint. Competitive contact inkless fingerprint capture
devices record fingerprint images by rolling (contacting) the fingers of a
subject on the surface of an optical assembly, creating an optical image of the
fingerprint. The optical image is then converted into a digital image by a
photo-imaging detector. In contrast, though DDSI's non-contact device operates
in a similar manner, there is no direct contact by the finger to the device. The
Compu-Scan captures the fingerprint in the following manner: the finger is
placed over an opening in the Compu-Scan which projects a light onto the
suspended finger upon which a camera captures the resulting reflected
fingerprint image.

<PAGE>

Under federal regulation, law enforcement agencies in the United States may only
utilize fingerprint systems that have passed an extensive FBI certification
process. As a result any inkless fingerprint system developed by DDSI must pass
the FBI certification process before it can be distributed to law enforcement
agencies in the United States. DDSI can supply an inkless non-contact
fingerprint system prior to FBI certification for commercial business use, for
example, for ATM machines, biometric identification for Universities, libraries,
access control and any such commercial application, which does not require a
rolled fingerprint match.

The Company feels it has completed all of the final seven tests required and
submitted the results to the FBI on February 15, 2001. There are no assurances
by the Company that the FBI will certify this technology and device.

Marketing

Law Enforcement Applications
DDSI markets and sells its Law enforcement product line through an internal
sales force, an independent dealer network and vendors of compatible software
applications.

DDSI employs three full-time employees in sales, marketing or sales management.
Leads are generated by DDSI's marketing department and followed up by the
salesmen, who sell directly to the end user. The employees also work with sales
employees of other vendors in making sales calls and proposals.

Additionally, DDSI markets its Law Enforcement products through vendors of
compatible software application such as IBM Business Partners and other hardware
suppliers. See below "IBM and other Partners" for more detail.

DDSI anticipates that its future marketing strategy for its Law Enforcement
products will focus on expanding the quality and size of sales to law
enforcement agencies and jail facilities of its existing Compu-Capture(R)
program and new compatible products in the same field, such as Compu-Sketch and
Compu-Scene and the new LiveScan (Compu-Scan 3000) device. In its latest survey
conducted by the Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics
(LEMAS) program of the Bureau of Justice Statistics of the United States
Department of Justice (the "LEMAS Survey"), of a nationally representative
sample of state and local police departments indicated that there are
approximately 17,000 state and local law enforcement agencies. Of those
agencies, 52% of the agencies surveyed, employing 90% of all sworn officers,
were using one or more types of computers. Of local police departments surveyed,
30% use computers for criminal investigations, criminal histories and Uniform
Crime Reports. DDSI believes that as law enforcement agencies become more
familiar with available technology, and agencies like the FBI continue to
require certain standards of reporting crimes (NCIC2000), the market for
products using computer technology, such as Compu-Capture(R), Compu-Scan and
Compu-Capture(R) lite will increase.

Customers
DDSI maintains a continuing relationship with its customers based upon support
services and periodic upgrades of the Compu-Capture(R) line and Compu-Sketch
software. Although the major revenue-generating event is the initial
installation and any significant expansion of that installation, the annual
sales of maintenance support services, which DDSI performs subsequent to the
installation, generates approximately 17% of the installed software license fee.


<PAGE>

DDSI also relies on maintaining ongoing relationships with vendors, especially
IBM Business Partners, for continuing sales introductions to new customers. DDSI
has concentrated on expanding the compatibility of its Compu-Capture(R) system
with more computer software applications in order to expand the number of
vendors that may recommend DDSI's products.

Business Alliances
Currently approximately one-half of the revenues from DDSI's sales are generated
from business alliance relationships. For example, one such business alliance is
with IBM. IBM establishes a business alliance with certain vendors that sell
software applications that are compatible with IBM hardware. To increase its
sales through these alliances, DDSI has directed a portion of its research and
development efforts in the last five years to developing software interfaces
which enable the Compu-Capture(R) program to operate in conjunction with various
records and jail management applications and other law enforcement programs
using IBM compatible hardware. DDSI believes that part of its growth will
continue to come through these business alliances.

DDSI has recently begun exploring the market for its products in the European,
South and Central American and other international markets. DDSI is also working
in conjunction with IBM to develop some of these countries by displaying and
making its products available by IBM at their Electronic Institute for
Government, located in Washington D.C. and Shanghai, China. This facility brings
in IBM sales personnel and end users from around the world to preview IBM's
entire Public Sector offerings. IBM has duplicated this facility in Shanghai,
China and has ordered and installed a similar display to demonstrate DDSI's
products there.

Greater Penetration of Existing Customers
In addition to seeking new customers, the Company has recently established a
marketing program to focus on the existing customer base, which is potentially
over 1,000 agencies. The Company believes with this addition that it can now
capitalize and generate increased revenues from its existing customers.

Due to the high market penetration by the Company's strategic alliances, the
Company believes that it will be able to eliminate the formal bid process in
many jurisdictions where such strategic alliances are located. In these cases,
add-on or complimentary products can be purchased directly through the incumbent
vendor. This will help to expedite the normally long sales cycle and to
eliminate the costly and time-consuming proposal process.

Strategic Acquisitions and Alliances
Depending on the availability of funds, DDSI intends to continue developing
software interfaces to make its products compatible with new and expanded
versions of systems offered by strategic alliances and other vendors of criminal
justice software. DDSI believes that expanding the number of law enforcement
systems with which the Compu-Capture(R) and Compu-Color(R) systems are
compatible will assist DDSI in maintaining its competitiveness.

Sales by Geographic Area

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 93%, 95% and
99%, respectively, of DDSI's revenues have been from domestic customers. The
sales for 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $205,953, $150,209 and $6,104, or an
aggregate for these years of approximately $362,266.

Competition

DDSI has multiple solutions being sold to the Criminal Justice market with its
competitive position varying by product.

DDSI's Compu-Capture(R) system (video imaging mug shot solution), currently has
two national competitors, Printrak Inc., Anaheim, CA (recently purchased by
Motorola which has approximately 200 video mug shot installations, and ImageWare
Systems of San Diego, California, which has approximately 65 installations.

The Compu-Scan 3000 Livescan device is not yet available to the industry and
consequently is behind its two main competitors, Digital Biometrics, Inc
(recently merged with Visionics), and Identix Incorporated market inkless
computerized fingerprint capture systems on a national basis and each have
received FBI certification. Both companies are publicly held corporations and
have been marketing their fingerprint systems for several years. DDSI intends to
market its Compu-Scan 3000 inkless fingerprint system in conjunction with its
Compu-Capture(R) system as well as in a network or a stand-alone mode.

The Compu-Sketch is a computerized, non-artistic, professional composite system.
Though there is significant competition is this field, DDSI believes that the
Compu-Sketch provides an easier system to use plus offers a larger database than
its competitors.

DDSI's Compu-Scene product is not individually marketed. DDSI carries it in
order to provide to its customers a more complete package of products.

The SI-3000 Systems Integration solution has no direct competitors. The SI-3000
is marketed to large multi-jurisdiction counties.

The FMS solution resembles other fingerprint capture, store, retrieve and
compare software, but is different in both the size of the database it can store
and search, and in the scalability of hardware requirements. DDSI plans to sell
the FMS as a stand-alone matching solution as well as to integrators, and
intends to package it with its Compu-Scan system.

Motorola's (NYSE:MOT) entrance into the Criminal Justice field by the purchase
of Printrak Inc., offers a suite of solutions from data transmission to MDT
(patrol cars) through bookings, fingerprint capture, mug shots and related
systems. Printrak's products are centered around records management, jail
management and AFIS solutions. AFIS is a large computerized installation used
generally at the state level, that compares fingerprints that are entered into
the system from different jurisdictions and identifies those prints within hours
versus days and weeks when done by hand. Printrak's main product by dollar
volume is AFIS. DDSI believes that Motorola would most likely specialize in
large installations, where as DDSI's target is the small and medium size
markets. Thus, we believe Motorola's entrance into the industry should have a
minimal negative affect on our Company and management believes Motorola's
entrance into the field will help advance product knowledge to the digitized
imaging market.

DDSI believes its inkless non-contact technology is a superior technology
compared to the older generation inkless contact method. Our approach does away
with the expensive cost of replacing the glass platen as a result of wear and
tear, and the smearing of oily residue from fingers placed on the platen and
other contact related problems. In addition, DDSI's device provides for officer
safety by limiting physical contact (the positioning of suspects fingers by
holding his hand in place) with the suspect in the fingerprint capture sequence.
DDSI's inkless non-contact device is substantially smaller than the inkless
contact device (the size of two VCR's for the non-contact devices compared to
the size of a standard refrigerator for the contact device). The Compu-Scan 3000
also has no moving parts and therefore does not need frequent recalibration as
do the inkless contact devices. The price of the Company's device will range
between $25,000 and $45,000 depending on final configuration.

<PAGE>
Suppliers

DDSI has sold most of its systems for use on IBM or other manufacturers'
personal computers. However, DDSI's programs are compatible with the IBM AS400
or IBM clones and also products of other computer manufacturers. The peripheral
equipment used in connection with DDSI's system, such as video equipment, can be
provided by a wide range of manufacturers. As a result DDSI is not dependent on
any particular supplier or raw material.

Government Regulation or Government Approval

Most law enforcement agencies purchasing new or upgraded or expanded systems
require that the system meet the requirements of NCIC2000, ANSI-NIST standards
and standards issued by the National Crime Information Commission and by the
FBI. All DDSI products and solutions where required to meet these requirements.

The FBI has developed an extensive certifying process that an inkless
fingerprint system must pass before the FBI will accept cards produced by that
system. ISC/US, has agreed to grant DDSI the right to distribute an inkless
fingerprint system that has not been certified by the FBI. While there is no
assurance that the Compu-Scan inkless fingerprint system will successfully
complete the FBI certification process, the system produces fingerprint cards
similar in quality and type to other fingerprint systems that have been approved
by the FBI. DDSI believes that its Compu-Scan 3000 inkless fingerprint system
will meet the requirements of the FBI certification process and has recently
completed the submission process.

ISC/US is a Delaware Corporation located in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and is not
related to any government agency. ISC/US also has development offices in
Hamburg, Germany.

Research and Development

DDSI is currently engaged in a development contract with ISC/US, an engineering
firm with a specialized background in fingerprint technology, to develop a
computerized non-contact inkless fingerprint capture device called the
Compu-Scan 3000. Under this agreement, DDSI paid ISC/US $635,000 in funds (non
reimbursable) to develop the Compu-Scan 3000 with DDSI receiving worldwide
marketing and production rights to this product. This engagement will be in
effect until FBI certification is received on Compu-Scan 3000. The agreement
provides that there is no royalty payment involved. FBI certification will be
necessary to sell the Compu-Scan device to the United States state, local and
federal jurisdictions; however, FBI certification is not required to sell the
device for commercial uses. FBI certification is a multi-step process. The
Company has successfully completed the application process, however there can be
no assurance that the FBI will certify this technology and device.

While there are current products that deploy inkless technology, none have the
capabilities or the footprint (approximately one-tenth the size of current
competitive products) that the DDSI LiveScan will have upon introduction.

                    Employee and Director Stock Option Plans

The Company adopted the 1994 Stock Option Plan, (restated in 1997) ( the "Plan")
in order to attract and retain qualified personnel. In October 1998, the Board
of Directors voted to amend the plan but has not formally established the
amended plan to date and will not do so this fiscal year. However, under the
proposed 1998 Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in its
discretion may grant stock options (either incentive or non-qualified stock
options) to officers and employees. The terms and conditions upon which the
options may be exercised will be set out in the Plan. The Plan is intended to
provide a method whereby employees of the Company and others who are making and
are expected to make substantial contributions to the successful management and
growth of the Company are offered an opportunity to acquire Common Stock as an
incentive to remain with the Company and advance its interests. Therefore, to
date, no options have been granted under the 1998 plan and none will be until
the plan is formalized some time during the next fiscal year. On August 31,
1999, the Company granted bonuses to various officers and employees in the form
of 902,500 options for shares of the Company's Common Stock, fully vested, with
an exercise price of $0.37 per share. On December 15, 2000, the Company granted
to various officers and employees 843,000 options for shares of the Company's

                 Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

During April 1996, the Company loaned Mr. Cohn $125,000. Interest is accrued on
this amount at one point over prime and was payable together with the principal
on August 13, 1999. Accrued interest on this loan was $40,525 at December 31,
2000. Subsequently, the Company's Board of Directors agreed to extend the
maturity date of this note indefinitely. The note continues to accrue interest.

The Company's Audit Committee currently consists of Myrna Cohn, who is not an
outside director. The Company is actively pursuing the appointment of new
outside directors who will function as members of the Audit Committee.

The Company's Audit Committee will review any future transactions with
affiliates and make its recommendation to the Board of Directors to ensure such
transactions are at arms length.

The Company's Board will follow the advice of the Audit Committee on
transactions that could have the potential appearance of not being at arms
length transaction.

                            Description of Securities

General

The Company was incorporated on June 13, 1994 in Delaware. The Company has
authorized of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $.001 par value, of which
21,279,612 shares are issued and outstanding at April 25, 2001, plus 1,000,000
authorized shares of $.01 par value per share Preferred Stock and no shares are
issued and outstanding at April 24, 2000. The Company has authorized outstanding
Class A and Class B Warrants numbering one million four hundred eighty-three
thousand and seven hundred fifty (1,483,750) of each class. The Class A Warrants
have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and expire on August 15, 2002. The
Class B Warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and expire on August
15, 2002. The Company has reserved an equal amount of shares against these
warrants.

Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to receive ratable dividends, if any, as
may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the
payment of dividends. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company has
not paid any dividends on its Common Stock, and none are contemplated in the
foreseeable future. It is anticipated any earnings that may be generated from
operations of the Company will be used to finance the growth of the Company.


<PAGE>
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record.
There are no cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Thus the
holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock can elect all
of the directors of the Company if they choose to do so. No one shareholder
beneficially owns more than 50% of the Company's Common Stock. A total of
14,380,127 shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of December 31, 1999.

The holders of Common Stock will have no preemptive, subscription, conversion or
redemption rights. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company,
the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata the assets of
the Company.

Redeemable Class A Warrants and Redeemable Class B Warrants

The outstanding shares of 21,279,612 as of April 25, 2001 excludes the
authorized and unissued Common Redeemable Class A and Class B Warrants numbering
one million four hundred eighty-three thousand and seven hundred fifty
(1,483,750) of each class. These warrants are publicly traded with the price
generally holding steady at $.02 per warrant.

Redeemable Class A Warrants

Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock
for a period of four years commencing August 15, 1996, subject to earlier
redemption, and will be exercisable at a price of $1.00 a unit. During July 2000
the Class A Warrants' expiration date was extended to August 15, 2002. The Class
A Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company at any time on not less then
30 days written notice, at a price of $0.10 per Warrant, provided that the per
share closing bid price of the Common Stock exceeds 175% of the exercise price
for at least 20 consecutive trading days. For these purposes, the closing bid
price of the Common Stock shall be determined by the closing bid price as
reported by NASDAQ so long as the Common Stock is quoted on NASDAQ and if the
Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, shall be determined by
the last reported sale price on the primary exchange on which the Common Stock
is traded. Holders of Class A Warrants will automatically forfeit all rights
hereunder except the right to receive the $0.10 redemption per Warrant unless
the Warrants are exercised before they are redeemed.

Redeemable Class B Warrants

Each Class B Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock
for a period of four years commencing August 15, 1996, subject to earlier
redemption, and will be exercisable at a price of $1.50 a unit. During July
2000, the Class B Warrants' expiration date was extended to August 15, 2002. The
Class B Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company at any time on not
less then 30 days written notice, at a price of $0.10 per Warrant, provided that
the per share closing bid price of the Common Stock exceeds 200% of the exercise
price for at least 20 consecutive trading days. For these purposes, the closing
bid price of the Common Stock shall be determined by the closing bid price as
reported by NASDAQ so long as the Common Stock is quoted on NASDAQ and if the
Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, shall be determined by
the last reported sale price on the primary exchange on which the Common Stock
is traded. Holders of Class A Warrants will automatically forfeit all rights
hereunder except the right to receive the $0.10 redemption per Warrant unless
the Warrants are exercised before they are redeemed.


<PAGE>
The holders of Warrants ("Warrant holders") are not entitled to vote, receive
dividends, or exercise any of the rights of holders of shares of Common Stock
for any purpose. In addition, the Company has a right to increase the Warrant
Exercise Price upon not less than 20 days' prior notice to the Warrant holders
if the Company extends the exercise period of the Warrants beyond the four year
period.

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

The Shares being offered for sale by our Selling Stockholders are issuable
pursuant to the "First Amendment to Secured Convertible Debenture Purchase
Agreement" dated March 5, 2001 and the original agreement dated December 28,
2000 (hereafter referred to as the "Financing Agreements").

This Offering is being made pursuant to the exemption from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded by Rule 506 of
Regulation D promulgated there under.

Recent Financing

 The Financing Agreements provides for the issuance of $800,000 of convertible
debentures that can be converted into shares of our Common Stock. Bridge funding
of $400,000 in convertible notes has been issued with the remaining $400,000 in
convertible notes to be issued within ten trading days after the effective date
of this registration. The number of shares we will issue upon the conversion of
these debentures fluctuates with our Common Stock market price, cannot be
determined until the day of conversion. There is no limit on the number of
shares of our common stock that may be issued upon the conversion of these
convertible debentures. These convertible debentures have a conversion price
that is the lesser of (1) $0.08 and (2) 50% of the average of the lowest three
inter-day prices (which need not occur on consecutive trading days) during the
twenty trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. Thus,
the debentures will be converted at prices below the current market price on the
conversion date. If conversions of the debentures occur, shareholders may be
subject to an immediate dilution in their per share net tangible book value. The
current convertible debentures may be converted into Common Stock at any time
prior to their maturity date which is two years from date of execution.

The Financing Agreements provides for the issuing of 600,000 warrants to
purchase our Common Stock. 400,000 of the warrants have an exercise price equal
to $.036 and can be exercised at any time through December 28, 2003. 200,000 of
the warrants have an exercise price equal to the lesser of (i) $.036 per share
and (ii) the average of the lowest three closing sale prices for the Common
Stock during the twenty trading days immediately prior to the closing date, and
can be exercised any time through March 4, 2004.

As of March 5, 2001, DDSI has reserved for 200% of the minimum number of shares
of common stock which would be issuable upon conversion in full of the
debentures, amounting to 10,000,000 shares of authorized and unissued common
stock. These reserve amounts are our good faith estimate of the number of shares
that DDSI believe DDSI need to reserve. DDSI can provide no assurance as to how
many shares DDSI will ultimately need to issue upon the conversion of the
debentures. If DDSI are required to issue additional shares DDSI will be
required to file an additional registration statement for those shares, a
process which will be costly and time consuming. The issuance of these shares
will dilute our common stock per share net tangible book value and may result in
a decline in our stock price.


<PAGE>
Selling Shareholders

The table below sets forth information concerning the sale of shares of Common
Stock by the Selling Stockholders. The table reflects: (1) the number of shares
issuable upon conversion of debentures pursuant to the Financing Agreements and
(2) shares issuable upon exercise of warrants pursuant to the Financing
Agreements. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock
by the Selling Stockholders. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the
warrants. Assuming all the shares registered below are sold by the Selling
Stockholders, none of the Selling Stockholders will continue to own any shares
of our Common Stock.

The following table also sets forth the name of each person who is offering
shares of common stock by this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock
beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares of common stock that may
be sold in this offering and the number of shares of common stock each person
will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the shares offered.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally
includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Common shares
that are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants,
convertible Preferred Stock or other purchase rights, to the extent exercisable
within 60 days of the date of this Prospectus, are treated as outstanding for
purposes of computing each Selling Shareholder's percentage ownership of
outstanding common shares.

                              Plan of Distribution

The selling stockholders and any of their pledges, assignees, and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. There is no assurance that the selling stockholders will sell
any or all of the Common Stock in this offering. The selling stockholders may
use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

         o Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
           broker-dealer solicits purchasers.

         o Block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
           shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
           principal to facilitate the transaction.

         o Purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
           broker-dealer for its own account.

         o An exchange distribution following the rules of the applicable
           exchange

         o Privately negotiated transactions

         o Short sales or sales of shares not previously owned by the seller

         o Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a
           specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share

         o A combination of any such methods of sale or any other lawful method

         o The Selling stockholders may also engage in:

         o Short selling against the box, which is making a short sale when the
           seller already owns the shares.

         o Buying puts, which is a contract whereby the person buying the
           contract may sell shares at a specified price by a specified date.

         o Selling under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather
           than under this prospectus.

         o Other transactions in our securities or in derivatives of our
           securities and the subsequent sale or delivery of shares by the
           stockholder.


<PAGE>
         o Pledging shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of
           customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a margin
           loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer to sell the pledged
           shares.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated. If any
broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, the broker-dealer may
receive commission from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated. The selling
stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is
customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares may be considered to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
the Securities Act for such sales. An underwriter is a person who has purchased
shares from an issuer with a view towards distributing the shares to the public.
In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be considered to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the
shares in this offering. However, we will not pay any commissions or any other
fees in connection with the resale of the common stock in this offering. We have
agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders and their officers, directors,
employees and agents, and each person who controls any selling shareholder, in
certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising
under the Securities Act. Each selling shareholder has agreed to indemnify the
Company and its directors and officers in certain circumstances against certain
liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

If we are notified by the selling stockholder that they have a material
arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we
would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between
the selling stockholder and the broker-dealer.

                                Legal Proceedings

Our Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings and, to the
best of its knowledge, no such action by or against the Company has been
threatened.

                         Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Digital Descriptor Systems,
Inc. as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Digital Descriptor Systems,
Inc. as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Digital
Descriptor Systems, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
2 to the financial statements, the Company has never been profitable and
continues to incur losses from operations and anticipates that it will require
additional debt and/or equity financing in 2001, which may not be readily
available. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans relating to these matters are
described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 2000

1. Business

Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc. incorporated in Delaware in 1994, develops,
assembles and markets computer installations consisting of hardware and
software, which capture video and scanned images, link the digitized images to
text and store the images and text on a computer database and transmit this
information to remote locations. The principal product of the Company is the
Compu-Capture Law Enforcement Program, which is marketed to law enforcement
agencies and jail facilities and generated the majority of the Company's
revenues during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. Substantially all of
the Company's revenues are derived principally from U.S. government agencies.

2. Accounting Policies

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The Company
has never been profitable and has incurred substantial losses from operations of
approximately $2,030,000 and $1,206,000 during the years ended December 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively. Losses from operations are continuing through 2001 and
the Company anticipates that it will require additional financing in 2001, which
may not be readily available. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's plans include
expanding the sale and acceptance of its core business solutions by hiring
additional sales resources and increased marketing activities. The Company is
also pursuing FBI Certification and introduction to the marketplace of the
Compu-Scan 3000 fingerprint-capturing device.



                                                                             F-6

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


2. Accounting Policies (continued)

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation (continued)

Management is also actively working to raise capital through the sale of its
common stock and the exercise of its common stock purchase warrants and options
in the next twelve months to cover its operating costs. Additionally, the
following plans have been put in place to continue as a going concern: cutting
costs in areas that add the least value to the Company; deriving funds through
the establishment of business alliances with other companies who may wish to
license the Compu-Scan device; and increasing revenues through the introduction
of a scaled down version of the Compu-Capture product. There can be no
assurances that management will be successful in these planned capital raising
efforts or cost-cutting measures.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue from the sale of hardware, software, post customer
support (PCS), and other related services. PCS includes telephone support, bug
fixes, and rights to upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis. Other related
services include basic consulting and training. Included with the hardware is
software that is not considered to be incidental. Revenue from transactions with
customers where the software component is not considered to be incidental is
allocated between the hardware and software components based on the relative
fair value of the respective components.


                                                                             F-7

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Accounting Policies (continued)

Revenue Recognition (continued)

The Company also derives revenue from the sale of software without a related
hardware component. Revenue allocable to software components is further
allocated to the individual deliverable elements of the software portion of the
arrangement such as PCS and other services. In arrangements that include rights
to PCS for the software and/or other services, the software component
arrangement fee is allocated among each deliverable based on the relative fair
value of each of the deliverables determined using vendor-specific objective
evidence, which has been established by the separate sales of these
deliverables.

The Company recognizes the revenue allocable to hardware and software licenses
upon delivery of the product to the end-user, unless the fee is not fixed or
determinable or collectibility is not probable. If collectibility is not
considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. Revenue
allocable to PCS is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the PCS
is provided. Revenue allocable to other services is recognized as the services
are provided.

Furniture and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets
ranging from 2 to 5 years.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, note
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and convertible debentures
approximates their fair value based on the liquidity of these financial
instruments or based on their short-term nature.

                                                                             F-8

2. Accounting Policies (continued)

Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes software development costs after technological
feasibility of the software is established and through the product's
availability for general release to the Company's customers. Technological
feasibility of the Company's software development costs is determined when the
planning, designing, coding, and testing activities are completed, and the
Company has established that the product can be produced to meet its design
specifications. All costs incurred in the research and development of new
software products and costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological
feasibility are expensed as incurred. During 1999, $413,604 was capitalized as
software development costs in connection with the Company's new product entitled
Compu-Scan, a computerized inkless fingerprint device. During 2000, the Company
submitted this product for approval to the FBI. As of March 2001, the Company
believes the product meets the necessary specifications and is available for
general release to customers.

Amortization of software development costs will be calculated as the greater of
the amount computed using (i) the ratio that current gross revenues for a
product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues of
that product or (ii) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated
economic life of the product, including the period being reported on.
Amortization of such costs will commence when the software becomes available for
general release to customers. The Company reviews the unamortized software
development costs at each balance sheet date and, if necessary, will write down
the balance to net realizable value if the unamortized costs exceed the net
realizable value of the asset.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
the amounts used for income tax purposes. Such differences result from
differences in the timing of recognition by the Company of certain expenses, and
the periods of depreciation of certain assets.



                                                                             F-9

2. Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting for Stock Options

Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123 (SFAS 123),
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS 123 provides companies with a
choice to follow the provisions of SFAS 123 in determination of stock-based
compensation expense or to continue with the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25). The Company has elected to follow the provisions
of APB 25. Under APB 25, if the exercise price of the Company's stock options
equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying Common Stock on the date of
grant, no compensation expense is recognized. The effect of applying SFAS 123 to
the Company's stock-based awards results in net loss and net loss per common
share that are disclosed on a pro forma basis in Note 6.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted
average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is
calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average common shares
outstanding of the period plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.
No exercise of common stock equivalents were assumed during any period because
the assumed exercise of these securities would be antidilutive.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to a concentration
of credit risk principally consist of cash, accounts receivable and a note
receivable. Concentration of credit risk, with respect to accounts and note
receivable, is limited due to the Company's credit evaluation process. The
Company does not require collateral from its customers. The Company sells its
principal products to end users and distributors principally in the United
States.


                                                                            F-10

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates impairment of its intangible and other long-lived assets
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of." In making such determination, management compares the estimated
future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, of the underlying operations or
assets with their carrying value to determine if any impairment exists. If
impairment exists, any adjustment is determined by comparing the carrying amount
to the fair value of the impaired asset.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133), which
established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. SFAS 133
is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Under SFAS 133,
accounting for changes in fair value of a derivative depends on its intended use
and destination. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 during the first quarter of
2001. Because the Company has never used or currently intends to use
derivatives, management does not anticipate that adoption of this new standard
will have a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial
position of the Company.

Furniture and equipment consists of the following:

4. Debt

Convertible Debentures

During December 2000, the Company issued $200,000 of convertible debentures to
two investors. The debentures mature on December 28, 2001 and accrue interest at
12% per annum. The holder has the right to convert the debentures to common
shares at any time through maturity at a conversion price the lessor of: $0.08
per share or 50% of the average of the lowest three trading prices during the 20
days preceding the conversion date. The debenture holders also received warrants
to purchase 400,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.036 per share at
any time before December 28, 2003. The estimated fair value of the warrants of
$40,000 and the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of $127,500
have been allocated to paid-in capital. This resulting debt discount plus the
$61,000 of financing charges will be amortized over the term of the debentures
in 2001. The debentures are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's
assets.

During February 1999 through April 1999, the Company issued $225,000 of
convertible debentures to 12 investors. These short-term debentures required
interest at 12% per annum. The holder had the option of receiving payment at the
end of a 50-day period or to convert the debenture to common shares of the
Company at a specified conversion price. The $225,000 of debentures plus accrued
interest of $4,970 were converted to 766,567 common shares in connection with a
Reg. A Offering (Note 9).

Equipment Loan

During 2000, the Company entered into a $36,366 automobile loan, maturing in
November 2005. The loan requires monthly installments of $620, including
interest at .9%. The loan is collateralized by the automobile. Future maturities
of the loan are $7,147 in 2001, $7,211 in 2002 and $7,277 in 2003, $7,342 in
2004, and $6,796 in 2005.


                                                                            F-12

             2005                                54,700

6. Stock Option and Other Plans

The Company maintains the 1994 Restated Stock Option Plan (the 1994 Plan)
pursuant to which the Company reserved 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The
options granted have a term of ten years and are issued at or above the fair
market value of the underlying shares on the grant date. The Company also
maintains the 1996 Director Option Plan (the Director Plan) pursuant to which
the Company reserved 200,000 shares of common stock. Under the Director Plan,
each outside director is automatically granted an option to purchase 15,000
shares of common stock (first option) upon adoption of the Director Plan or the
date such person becomes a director. Every year thereafter, each outside
director is automatically granted an option to purchase 1,000 shares (subsequent
option) on each date of the annual meeting if a minimum of six months were
served on the Board of Directors. Options granted under the Director Plan are
issued at or above the fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant
date. A portion of the first option vests at the six-month anniversary of the
date of the grant and continues over a four-year period. Subsequent options vest
on the first anniversary of the grant date. The options expire ten years from
the date of the grant.



                                                                            F-13

6. Stock Option and Other Plans (continued)

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options at the date of grant by
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for grants in 2000 and 1999, as follows: risk-free interest rate of
5.5% for all years; expected life of the option of 5 years; no expected cash
dividend payments on common stock, and volatility factors of the expected market
price of the Company's common stock of: 1.033 and .879, respectively.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. As noted above, the Company's stock options are vested over an
extended period. In addition, option models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including future stock price volatility. Because the
Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different from those
of traded options, and because changes in the subjective assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimates, in management's opinion, the
Black-Scholes model does not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair
value of the Company's stock options.

During 1997, the Company adopted the Consultants and Advisors Compensation Plan
(the Plan). Persons eligible under this Plan include any consultant or advisor
of the Company who has provided bona fide services to the Company, except for
services provided in connection with the offer or sale of securities in an
equity transaction. The Company reserved 300,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under this Plan of which 211,357 shares have been awarded through
December 31, 2000. Awards may be granted in the form of stock options or stock
grants. No awards shall be made after December 31, 2001. The Company has not
awarded any stock options or stock grants under this Plan since 1998.

7. Income Taxes

At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had federal net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $9,271,000 and $7,633,000, respectively, to
offset future federal taxable income expiring in various years through 2020. The
Company also has state net operating loss carryforwards of $456,000 and
$409,000, respectively, to offset future state taxable income expiring in
various years through 2020. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company recorded
a deferred tax asset of $3,318,232 and $3,005,120, respectively, which were
reduced by a valuation allowance in the same amount as the realization of these
deferred tax assets are not certain.

                                                                            F-15

7. Income Taxes (continued)

The timing and extent in which the Company can utilize future tax deductions in
any year may be limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding
changes in ownership of corporations due to certain ownership changes of the
Company.

Class B Warrant. The Warrants were immediately detachable and separately
transferable. Each Class A Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of
common stock for $6.00 subject to adjustment, during the four-year period
commencing one year from the date of the offering. Each Class B Warrant entitled
the holder to purchase one share of common stock for $7.25 subject to
adjustment, during the four-year period commencing one year from the date of the
offering. The Class A and Class B Warrants are subject to redemption by the
Company at any time, (within 30 days notice) at $.10 per warrant provided that
the per share closing bid price of the common stock exceeds 175% of the exercise
price for the Class A Warrant, and 200% of the exercise price for the Class B
Warrant, for at least 20 consecutive trading days. During July 2000, the
Company's Board of Directors reduced the exercise price of the Class A Warrants
from $6.00 to $1.00, and reduced the exercise price of the Class B Warrants from
$7.50 to $1.50. The expiration date for the Class A and Class B Warrants was

11. Subsequent Events

During January 2001 through March 2001, the Company issued $200,000 of
convertible debentures to two investors. These debentures mature on March 4,
2002 and accrue interest at 12% per annum. The holder has the right to convert
the debentures to common shares at any time through maturity at the conversion
price as described in Note 4. The debenture holders received warrants to
purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price the lesser of: $.036 per
share or the average of the lowest three trading prices during the 20 days
preceding the exercise date. The debentures are collateralized by substantially
all of the Company's assets.

During March 2001, the Company granted 1,100,000 shares of restricted common
stock for services performed. Such shares were valued at the fair market value
on the date the shares were granted.


                                                                            F-18

Part II.   Information Not Required In Prpspectus

                    Indemnification of Directors and Officer

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the
Company shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company shall
indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened
to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil,
administrative or investigative (a "legal action"), whether such legal Action be
by or in the right of the corporation or otherwise, by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or serves or served
at the request of the Company as a director or officer, of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or any other enterprise. In addition, the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of any
person made or threatened to be made a party to any Legal Action by reason of
the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company and is
or was serving as a fiduciary of, or otherwise rendering to, any employee
benefit plan of or relating to the Company. The indemnification obligation of
the Company in the Certificate of Incorporation is permitted under Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore unenforceable.

                   Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

Related to the securities being registered. The expenses shall be paid by the
Registrant.

SEC Registration Fee                        $     433.80
Printing and Engraving Expenses             $   2,000.00
Legal Fees and Expenses                     $  55,000.00
Accounting Fees and Expenses                $  30,000.00

Miscellaneous                               $   5,000.00
                                            ------------
Total                                       $ 176,433.80

                     Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

A total of 10,915,484 shares of common stock, par value $.001 (the "Shares"),
were issued by the Company from June 1999 through May 2000, for cash or services
rendered to the Company, absent registration under the Securities Act. These
shares were offered pursuant to the exemption provided by Regulation A where
such offering price was valued at $.30 per share.

From September through December 2000, the Company issued 1,205,000 restricted
shares of its common stock for services performed. These shares were valued at
market price and represented fair value for services rendered. These shares were
issued pursuant to the exemption provided for under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a "transaction not involving a public
offering."

During March 2001, the Company issued $200,000 of convertible debentures to two
investors. These debentures mature on March 4, 2002 and accrue interest at 12%
per annum. The holder has the right to convert the debentures to common shares
at any time through maturity at the conversion price as described in the
agreement. The debenture holders received warrants to purchase 200,000 common
shares at an exercise price the lesser of: $0.36 per share or the average of the
lowest three trading prices during the 20 days preceding the exercise date. The
debentures are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets.

During January through March 2001, the Company granted 1,100,000 shares of
restricted common stock for services performed. Such shares were valued at the
fair market value on the date the shares were granted.

During April 2001, the Company granted 168,000 shares of restricted common stock
for services performed. Such shares were valued at the fair market value on the
date the shares were granted.

UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:

Undertaking  (a)

(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

     (i) Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933;

     (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement; and arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) ('230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of the
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

     (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.

(2) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.

(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

Undertaking (e)

                                 Indemnification

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUGGESTION OF WHICH SHALL BE

                        DIGITAL DESCRIPTOR SYSTEMS, INC.

                                     WARRANT

Warrant No.2                                            Dated: December 28, 2000


         Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, New Millennium Capital
Partners II, LLC or its registered assigns ("Holder"), is entitled, subject to
the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company up to a total of 200,000
shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share" and all such shares, the "Warrant
Shares") at an exercise price equal to [ ](1) per share (as adjusted from time
to time as provided in Section 8, the "Exercise Price"), at any time and from
time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including December
28, 2003 (the "Expiration Date"), and subject to the following terms and
conditions:

                  1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this
Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the
"Warrant Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.
The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution
to the Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected
by notice to the contrary.

--------
(1) The exercise price shall be equal to the lessor of (i) the average of the
lowest three inter-day trading prices during the ten Trading Days immediately
prior to the Closing Date discounted by 50% and (ii) $0.08.


<PAGE>
                  2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.

                     (a) The Company shall register the transfer of any portion
of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with
the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the
Transfer Agent, the Escrow Agent or to the Company at its address for notice set
forth in Section 12. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to
purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new
warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred
shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining
portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the
transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof
shall be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and
obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

                     (b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof
by the Holder to the office of the Company at its address for notice set forth
in Section 12 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the
right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased
hereunder. Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.

                  3. Duration and Exercise of Warrants.

                     (a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered
Holder on any business day before 5:00 P.M., New York City time, at any time and
from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration
Date. At 5:00 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of
this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no
value. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise
redeem this Warrant.

                     (b) Upon delivery of an executed Form of Election to
Purchase, together with the grid attached hereto as Annex A duly completed and
signed, to the Escrow Agent at its address set forth in the Escrow Agreement and
the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 12 and upon payment
of the Exercise Price to the Company multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares
that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner provided hereunder,
all as specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Escrow
Agent shall promptly (but in no event later than 3 business days after the Date
of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be
delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names
as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon
such exercise, free of restrictive legends except (i) either in the event that a
registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the
Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective or the Warrant
Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule
144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), or (ii) if this Warrant shall have been issued pursuant to a written
agreement between the original Holder and the Company, as required by such
agreement. Any person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares
shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the
Date of Exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder,
if available, use its best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder
electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions. To effect an exercise
hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant
to the Company unless all the Warrant Shares have been exercised. Exercises
hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the number of Warrant Shares in an
amount equal to the applicable exercise, which shall be evidenced by entries set
forth in the Exercise Schedule. The Holder and the Company shall maintain
records showing the number of Warrant Shares exercised and the date of such
exercises. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder
shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The
Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of a
portion of this Warrant, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.


<PAGE>
                     A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the Escrow
Agent shall have received the Form of Election to Purchase completed and duly
signed.

                     (c) This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its
entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares.

                  4. Piggyback Registration Rights. This Warrant is subject to
the piggyback registration rights granted under the Registration Rights
Agreement and such piggyback registration rights shall continue until all of the
Holder's Warrant Shares have been sold in accordance with an effective
registration statement or upon the Expiration Date. The Company will pay all
registration expenses in connection therewith.

                  5. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary
stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other
than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax
liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or
receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

                  6. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and
substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and
indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to it. Applicants for a New Warrant under
such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.

                  7. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that
it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to
issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the
number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the
exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other actual
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account
the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8). The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares that shall be so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance
and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms
hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

                  8. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment
from time to time as set forth in this Section 8.

                     (a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) shall pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on
outstanding preferred stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated
dividend rate) or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of
its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock payable in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, or (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) outstanding after such event. In such event, the number of
Warrant shares issuable under this Warrant shall be equitably adjusted to
reflect such event (e.g. in the event of a 2:1 stock split of the Common Stock,
the number of Warrant shares shall be increased to twice the number available
for purchase prior to the record date for such stock split). Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision or combination, and shall apply to successive
subdivisions and combinations.

<PAGE>

                     (b) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or
any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted
into other securities, cash or property, then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holder
shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or
property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been
entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification or share exchange. The terms of any such reclassification or
share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder
the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 8(b)
upon any exercise following any such reclassification or share exchange.

                     (c) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders
of this Warrant) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in
Sections 8(a), (b) and (d)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Exercise Price
determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price on such record date less the then fair market value
at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so
distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by
the Company's independent certified public accountants that regularly examines
the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser").

                     (d) If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable
with respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or rights,
warrants, options or other securities or debt that is convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") entitling
any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the
Exercise Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so
issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments,
reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise,
or due to warrants, options or rights issued in connection with such issuance,
be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Exercise
Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise
Price), then, at the option of the Holder, the Exercise Price shall be replaced
with the conversion, exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents (including any reset provisions thereof) at issue. Such
adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the
business day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance
price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other
pricing terms.

                     (e) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company of more than
one-half of the assets of the Company (on a book value basis) in one or a series
of related transactions, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to (A)
exercise this Warrant for the shares of stock and other securities, cash and
property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock
following such merger, consolidation or sale, and the Holder shall be entitled
upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of
securities, cash and property as the Common Stock for which this Warrant could
have been exercised immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales
would have been entitled or (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation, (x)
require the surviving entity to issue common stock purchase warrants equal to
the number Warrant Shares to which this Warrant then permits, which newly
warrant shall be identical to this Warrant, and (y) simultaneously with the
issuance of such warrant, the Holder of such warrant shall have the right to
exercise such warrant only into shares of stock and other securities, cash and
property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock
following such merger or consolidation or (C) require the surviving entity from
such merger, acquisition or business combination to pay to the Holder, in cash,
the Black Scholes value of this Warrant. In the case of clause (B), the exercise
price for such new warrant shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash
and property that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction
and the Exercise Price of this Warrant immediately prior to the effectiveness or
closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or
consolidation shall include such terms so as continue to give the Holder the
right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section
upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall
similarly apply to successive such events.

                     (f) For the purposes of this Section 8, the following
clauses shall also be applicable:

                         (i) Record Date. In case the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A)
to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or in
securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable
into shares of Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the
date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or
purchase, as the case may be.

                         (ii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or
for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

                     (g) All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to
the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

                     (h) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to
Section 8(c) above, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the
Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall
be a nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case the adjustment shall
be equal to the average of the adjustments recommended by each of the Appraiser
and such appraiser. The Holder shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to the
Company, a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Such
adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned
above.

                     (i) If:

                         (i)  the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
                              distribution) on its Common Stock; or

                        (ii)  the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring
                              cash dividend on or a redemption of its Common
                              Stock; or

                       (iii)  the Company shall authorize the granting to all
                              holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to
                              subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
                              stock of any class or of any rights; or

                        (iv)  the approval of any stockholders of the Company
                              shall be required in connection with any
                              reclassification of the Common Stock, any
                              consolidation or merger to which the Company is a
                              party, any sale or transfer of all or
                              substantially all of the assets of the Company, or
                              any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common
                              Stock is converted into other securities, cash or
                              property; or

                         (v)  the Company shall authorize the voluntary
                              dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
                              affairs of the Company,

then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at their last addresses
as they shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 20 calendar days prior
to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to
be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up; provided, however, that the failure to mail such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

<PAGE>

                     (j) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to
Section 8 hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock,
calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, obtained by (i) multiplying
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such
adjustment upon the exercise of this Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect
prior to such adjustment, and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the
Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment of the Exercise Price.

                  9. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the
Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

                     (a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately
available funds; or

                     (b) Cashless Exercise. The Holder may surrender this
Warrant to the Company together with a notice of cashless exercise, in which
event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares
determined as follows:

                         X = Y [(A-B)/A]
         where:

                         X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued

to the Holder.

                         Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which
                             this Warrant is being exercised.

                         A = the average of the closing sale prices of the
                             Common Stock for the five (5) trading days
                             immediately prior to (but not including) the Date
                             of Exercise.

                         B = the Exercise Price.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been
commenced, on the issue date.

                  10. Certain Exercise Restrictions.

                     (a) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the extent
such exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof,
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules
promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon such exercise and held by
such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be
obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may
hold at the time of an exercise hereunder, unless the exercise at issue would
result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.999% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may
be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall
have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained
in this Section will limit any particular exercise hereunder and to the extent
that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
applies, the determination of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall
be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered
a Form of Election to Purchase for a number of Warrant Shares that, without
regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially
own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder,
the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the exercise
for the maximum portion of this Warrant permitted to be exercised on such Date
of Exercise in accordance with the periods described herein and, at the option
of the Holder, either keep the portion of the Warrant tendered for exercise in
excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future exercises or return such
excess portion of the Warrant to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may
be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon
not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be
unaffected by any such waiver.

<PAGE>

                     (b) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the extent
such exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof,
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the
then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable
upon such exercise and held by such Holder after application of this Section.
Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of
shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of an exercise hereunder, unless
the exercise at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in
excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard
to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an
affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to
determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any
particular exercise hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that
the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which
portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the responsibility and
obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Form of Election to
Purchase for a number of Warrant Shares that, without regard to any other shares
that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the
issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify
the Holder of this fact and shall honor the exercise for the maximum portion of
this Warrant permitted to be exercised on such Date of Exercise in accordance
with the periods described herein and, at the option of the Holder, either keep
the portion of the Warrant tendered for exercise in excess of the permitted
amount hereunder for future exercises or return such excess portion of the
Warrant to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder
(but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days
prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such
waiver.

                  11. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to
issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this
Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number
of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any
fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be
issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in
cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

                  12. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective
on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication
is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (ii) the
business day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than
11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, (iii) the business day following
the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service,
or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be
given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, to
446 Lincoln Highway, Fairless Hills, PA 19030 facsimile: (267) 580-1090,
attention: Michael J. Pellegrino, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the Holder at the
address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other
address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in
accordance with this Section.

                  13. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent
under this Warrant. Upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Holder, the Company may
appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new
warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation
to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any
corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers
substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall
be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any
such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as
warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder
at the Holder's last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

                  14. Miscellaneous.

                     (a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This
Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and
their successors and assigns.

                     (b) Subject to Section 14(a), above, nothing in this
Warrant shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the
Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause under this
Warrant. This Warrant shall inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company and the Holder.

                     (c) The corporate laws of the State of Delaware shall
govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company
and the Holder hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan,
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof
sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it under this
instrument and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either
party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this
Warrant, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be
reimbursed by the other party for its' attorneys fees and other costs and
expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
action or proceeding.

                     (d) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.

                     (e) In case any one or more of the provisions of this
Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall
incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

Re: Secured Convertible Debenture Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment to
the Secured Convertible Debenture Purchase Agreement: Digital Descriptor
Systems, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         I have acted as counsel to Digital Descriptor systems, Inc. ("the
Company"), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware,
in connection with the proposed issuance and sale of the Company's 12%
Convertible Debentures (the "Debentures") pursuant to the Secured Convertible
Debenture Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment to the Secured Convertible
Debenture Purchase Agreement (collectively the "Purchase Agreement"), dated the
date hereof between the Company and New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC and
AJW Partners, LLC, (collectively referred to as the "Buyers"). .

         In connection with rendering the opinions set forth herein, I have
examined the Transaction Documents as defined in the Purchase Agreement, the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, and its Bylaws, each as amended to date,
the proceedings of the Company's Board of Directors taken in connection with
entering into the Purchase Agreement and such other documents, agreements and
records as I deemed necessary to render the opinions set forth below.

         In conducting my examination, I have assumed the following: (i) that
each of the Transaction Documents have been executed by each of the parties
thereto in the same form as the forms which we have examined, (ii) the
genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the
authenticity and accuracy of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the
conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, (iii) that
each of the Transaction Documents have been duly and validly authorized,
executed, and delivered by the party or parties thereto, and (iv) that each of
the Transaction Documents constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the
party or parties thereto, enforceable against such party or parties in
accordance with the Transaction Documents' terms.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

                  1. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries organized in the
United States is a corporation, duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of Delaware, the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with
the requisite corporate power and authority to own and use its properties and
assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Each of the Company
and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as
a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary.

                                       1
<PAGE>

                  2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority
to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the
Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The
execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company. Each of the
Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.

                  3. No shares of Common Stock, are entitled to preemptive or
similar rights. Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 2.1(c) to the
Purchase Agreement or as a result of the purchase and sale of the Debentures and
the Warrants, there are no outstanding options, warrants, script rights to
subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to,
securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or
giving any person any right to subscribe for or acquire any shares of Common
Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the
Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of
Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of
Common Stock.

                  4. The Debentures and the Warrants have been duly authorized
and, when paid for and issued in accordance with the terms of the Purchase
Agreement shall have been validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                  5. The Company has duly authorized and reserved for issuance
such number of Underlying Shares as are issuable upon conversion of the
Debentures, as payment of interest thereon, and upon exercise of the Warrants as
required pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Debentures and the
Warrants, respectively. When issued by the Company in accordance with the terms
of the Purchase Agreement, the Debentures and the Warrants, the Underlying
Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                  6. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated by such agreements do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate
any provision of its or any of its Subsidiary's Certificates of Incorporation or
Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with
notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others
any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, (A) any
agreement, indenture or other written instrument relating to indebtedness of the
Company or a Subsidiary thereof or instrument to which the Company or a
Subsidiary thereof is a party attached as an exhibit to the SEC Documents and
(B) to our knowledge, any other agreement, indenture or other written instrument
relating to indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof or instrument to
which the Company or a Subsidiary thereof is a party, (iii) result in a
violation of any law, rule or regulation of any governmental authority,
regulatory body, stock market or trading facility to which the Company is
subject, or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected,
or (iv) result in any violation of any order, judgment, injunction, decree or
other restriction of which we have knowledge of any court or governmental
authority. To our knowledge, the business of the Company is not being conducted
in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  7. Other than the Required Approvals, neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order
of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other Federal, state,
local or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents.

                  8. The security interests and liens intended to be created by
the Security Agreement in the collateral secured by the Security Agreement have
been created and constitute valid, enforceable and, subject to the filings of
the UCC financing statements on Form-1 in the jurisdiction of Bucks County,
Pennsylvania and with the Secretary of State of Pennsylvania, perfected first
priority security interests in and liens on the collateral covered thereby in
your favor, upon the terms therein purported to be granted. To the best of our
knowledge such collateral is not subject to any other liens and encumbrances or
other rights, options or claims of any kind.

                  9. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties
of the Company set forth in Section 2.1 of the Purchase Agreement and of the
Purchaser set forth in Section 2.2 of the Purchase Agreement, the offer,
issuance and sale of the Debentures and the Warrants and the offer, issuance and
sale of the Underlying Shares to the Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the Debentures and the Warrants, are exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities
Act of 1933 ("as amended").


Truly yours,

/s/ Owen Naccarato

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby
makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchasers:

             (a) Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation
duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware with the requisite corporate power and authority to own and
use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently
conducted. The Company has no subsidiaries other than as set forth in Schedule
2.1(a) (collectively the "Subsidiaries"). Each of the Subsidiaries is an entity,
duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as
applicable), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its
properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Each
of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in
which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing, as the case may be, could not, individually or in the aggregate, (x)
adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Securities (as
defined below) or any of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Security Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Transfer Agent Instructions or the
Warrants (collectively, the "ATransaction Documents"), (y) have or result in a
material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects, or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole, or (z) adversely impair the Company's ability to perform fully on a
timely basis its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents (any of (x),
(y) or (z), a "Material Adverse Effect").

             (b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its
obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company. Each of
the Transaction Documents has been duly executed by the Company and, when
delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any of
the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation,
by-laws or other organizational or charter documents.



                                      -5-
<PAGE>

             (c) Capitalization. The number of authorized, issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Company is set forth in Schedule 2.1(c). No
shares of Common Stock are entitled to preemptive or similar rights, nor is any
holder of the securities of the Company entitled to preemptive or similar rights
arising out of any agreement or understanding with the Company by virtue of any
of the Transaction Documents. Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the
Debentures and the Warrants and except as disclosed in Schedule 2.1(c), there
are no outstanding options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right
to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or
securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock.
The issue and sale of Underlying Shares (as hereinafter defined) will not
obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any
person other than the Purchaser and will not result in a right of any holder of
Company securities to adjust the exercise or conversion or reset price under
such securities.

             (d) Issuance of the Debentures and the Warrants. The Debentures
will be duly and validly issued, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
rights of first refusal of any kind (collectively, "Liens"). On the date hereof,
the Company will have (and will, at all times while Debentures and the Warrants
are outstanding, maintain) an adequate reserve of duly authorized shares of
Common Stock, reserved for issuance to the holders of such Debentures and
Warrants, to enable it to perform its conversion, exercise and other obligations
under this Agreement. Such number of reserved and available shares of Common
Stock shall not be less than the sum of 20% of the number of shares of Common
Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion in full of the Debentures
assuming such conversion occurred on the Original Issue Date, and the Debentures
remain outstanding for one year and all interest is paid in shares of Common
Stock and (ii) exercise in full of the Warrants. The shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and upon exercise of the Warrants are
collectively referred to herein as the "Underlying Shares." All Underlying
Shares shall be duly reserved for issuance to the holders of the Debentures and
the Warrants. The Debentures, the Warrants and the Underlying Shares are
collectively referred to herein as, the "Securities." When deposited with the
Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and issued to the
Purchasers in accordance with the Debentures and the Warrants, the Underlying
Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
free and clear of all Liens.

             (e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the

debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise)
or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by
which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or
affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental

clauses (ii) and (iii), as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or
result in a Material Adverse Effect. The business of the Company is not being
conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental
authority, except for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, could
not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

             (f) Filings, Consents and Approvals. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of,
give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other
federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Transaction Documents, other than (i) the filings required pursuant to Section
3.10, (ii) the filing with the Commission of a registration statement meeting
the requirements set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement and covering the
resale of the Underlying Shares by the Purchasers (the "Underlying Shares
Registration Statement"), (iii) applicable Blue Sky filings, and (iv) in all
other cases where the failure to obtain such consent, waiver, authorization or
order, or to give such notice or make such filing or registration could not have
or result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect
(collectively, the "Required Approvals").

             (g) Litigation; Proceedings. There is no action, suit, inquiry,
notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of
the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties before or by any court,
arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
(federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an "Action" ) which
(i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of
any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there were
an unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any
director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving
a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a
claim of breach of fiduciary duty. The Company does not have pending before the
Commission any request for confidential treatment of information and the Company
has no knowledge of any expected such request that would be made prior to the
Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). There has
not been, and to the best of the Company's knowledge there is not pending or
contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any
current or former director or officer of the Company.

             (h) No Default or Violation. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
(i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred which has
not been waived which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a
default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any

in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement
or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is
bound, (ii) is in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or
governmental body, or (iii) is in violation of any statute, rule or regulation
of any governmental authority, in each case of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above,
except as could not individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The security interests granted to the Purchasers
pursuant to the Security Agreement and Intellectual Property Security Agreement
will convey and grant to the Purchasers a first priority security interest in
all of the Collateral (as such term is defined in such Agreements).

             (i) Private Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations
and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Sections 2.2(b)-(g), the offer,
issuance and sale of the Securities to the Purchasers as contemplated hereby are
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Neither the
Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has taken or is, to the knowledge of
the Company, contemplating taking any action which could subject the offering,
issuance or sale of the Securities to the registration requirements of the
Securities Act including soliciting any offer to buy or sell the Securities by
means of any form of general solicitation or advertising.

             (j) Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Company
provided to the Purchaser complies in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with
respect thereto as in effect at that time. Such financial statements have been

a consistent basis during the periods involved ("GAAP"), except as may be
otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto, and
fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company
and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the
results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the
case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.

has been no event, occurrence or development that has or that could result in a
Material Adverse Effect, (b) the Company has not incurred any liabilities

             (k) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate

Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent,
investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchasers shall have no obligation with
respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other
Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, their employees, officers,
directors, agents, and partners, and their respective Affiliates, from and
against all claims, losses, damages, costs (including the costs of preparation
and attorney's fees) and expenses suffered in respect of any such claimed or
existing fees, as such fees and expenses are incurred.

             (m) Solicitation Materials. Neither the Company nor any Person
acting on the Company's behalf has solicited any offer to buy or sell the
Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising.

             (n) Exclusivity. The Company shall not issue and sell the
Debentures or the Warrants to any Person other than the Purchasers without the
specific prior written consent of the Purchasers.

             (o) Seniority. No indebtedness of the Company is senior to the
Debentures in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or upon
liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise.

             (p) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and its Subsidiaries have,
or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights which
are necessary or material for use in connection with their respective businesses
and which the failure to so have would have a Material Adverse Effect
(collectively, the "Intellectual Property Rights"). Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights
used by the Company or its Subsidiaries violates or infringes upon the rights of
any Person. To the best knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property
Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person
of any of the Intellectual Property Rights.

             (q) Registration Rights; Rights of Participation. Except as set
forth on Schedule 6(b) to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has not
granted or agreed to grant to any Person any rights (including "piggy-back"
registration rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the
Commission or any other governmental authority which has not been satisfied.
Except as set forth on Schedule 6(b) to the Registration Rights Agreement, no
Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation,
or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents.

             (r) Regulatory Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess
all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective
businesses, except where the failure to possess such permits could not,
individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect
("Material Permits"), and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of
any Material Permit.

             (s) Title. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them which is
material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and good and
marketable title in all personal property owned by them which is material to the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all
Liens, except for Liens granted to the Purchasers pursuant to the Security
Agreement and for other Liens as do not materially affect the value of such
property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such
property by the Company and its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities
held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under
valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance and do not interfere with the use made and
proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

             (t) Labor Relations. No material labor problem exists or, to the
knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of
the Company.

             (u) Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor any other
Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or its agents or
counsel with any information that constitutes or might constitute material
non-public information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers
shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Purchasers regarding
the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including
the Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company are
true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

             (v) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of
the Closing Date, (i) the Company's fair saleable value of its assets exceeds
the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company's
existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as
they mature; (ii) the Company's assets do not constitute unreasonably small
capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted
and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account
the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company,
and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii)
the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company
would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account
all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or
in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company
does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they
mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or
in respect of its debt).

             (w) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board
of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill
(including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (or
similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or
could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the
Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the
Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company's issuance of
the Securities and the Purchasers' ownership of the Securities.

         2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser
hereby for itself and for no other Purchaser represents and warrants to the
Company as follows:

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or partnership
power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its
obligations thereunder. The purchase by such Purchaser of the Securities
hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such
Purchaser. Each of Transaction Documents has been duly executed by such
Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms
hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such
Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

             (b) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities
as principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a
view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof,
without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser's right, subject to the provisions
of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrant, at all
times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or
under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a
representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold the Securities for any
period of time. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the
ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not have any agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the
Securities.

             (c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the
Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is an "accredited investor" as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

             (d) Experience of such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or
together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so
evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.

             (e) Ability of such Purchaser to Bear Risk of Investment. Such
Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities
and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

             (f) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has
reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to
ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from,
representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the
Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Company's
financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and
prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the
opportunity to obtain such additional information which the Company possesses or
can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an
informed investment decision with respect to the investment and to verify the
accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the Disclosure
Materials. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on
behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend
or affect such Purchaser's right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness
of the Disclosure Materials and the Company's representations and warranties
contained in the Transaction Documents.

             (g) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the
Securities as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or
other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper,
magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at
any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

             (h) Reliance. Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i)
the Securities are being offered and sold to it without registration under the
Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act and (ii) the availability of such exemption,
depends in part on, and the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness
of, the foregoing representations and such Purchaser hereby consents to such
reliance.

             The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has
made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 2.2.


                                   ARTICLE III
                         OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

         3.1 Transfer Restrictions. (a) The Securities may only be disposed of
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, to the
Company or pursuant or to an available exemption from or in a transaction not
subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in
compliance with any applicable federal and state securities laws. In connection
with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration
statement or to the Company, except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company
may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of
counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the
Securities Act. Any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

             (b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required
by this Section 3.1(b), of the following legend on the Securities:

         NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES
ARE [CONVERTIBLE] [EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON
AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO
THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

         Underlying Shares shall contain the legend set forth above nor any
other legend if the conversion of Debentures or the exercise of the Warrants, as
the case may be, occurs at any time while an Underlying Shares Registration
Statement is effective under the Securities Act or the holder is relying on Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") in connection with the
resale of such Underlying Shares, or in the event there is not an effective
Underlying Shares Registration Statement, and Rule 144 is not then available for
resale of the Underlying Shares, at such time as such legend is not required
under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including, without
limitation, judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of
the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion
included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company's transfer agent on
the Effective Date. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date, it
will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to
the Company of a certificate or certificates representing such Underlying Shares
issued with a restrictive legend, deliver to such Purchaser certificates
representing such Underlying Shares which shall be free from all restrictive and
other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company which enlarge the restrictions
of transfer set forth in this Section.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

         3.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the
issuance of Underlying Shares upon the conversion of the Debentures and the
exercise of the Warrants will result in dilution of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions.
The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to deposit Underlying
Shares with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and upon
conversion of the Debentures and the exercise of the Warrants is unconditional
and absolute, subject to the limitations set forth in the Debentures or the
Warrants, as the case may be, regardless of the effect of any such dilution.

         3.3 Furnishing of Information. After the Closing Date, and thereafter,
for as long as the Purchasers own Securities, the Company covenants to timely
file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date
hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As long as the
Purchasers own Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to such sections, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the
Securities Act such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the
Securities under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company
further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of
Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time
to enable such Person to sell Underlying Shares without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, including causing its attorneys to render
and deliver any legal opinion required in order to permit a Purchaser to receive
Underlying Shares free of all restrictive legends and to subsequently sell
Underlying Shares under Rule 144 upon receipt of a notice of an intention to
sell or other form of notice having a similar effect. Upon the request of any
such Person, the Company shall deliver to such Person a written certification of
a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

         3.4 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts
to ensure that, no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or
solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as
defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the
offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers.

         3.5 Increase in Authorized Shares. If on any date the Company would be,
if a notice of conversion or exercise (as the case may be) were to be delivered
on such date, precluded from issuing (a) 200% of the number of Underlying Shares
as would then be issuable upon a conversion in full of the Debentures and (b)
the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon exercise in full of the Warrants
(the "Current Required Minimum"), in either case, due to the unavailability of a
sufficient number of authorized but unissued or reserved shares of Common Stock,
then the Board of Directors of the Company shall promptly prepare and mail to
the stockholders of the Company proxy materials requesting authorization to
amend the Company's certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the
number of shares of Common Stock which the Company is authorized to issue to at
least such number of shares as reasonably requested by the Purchasers in order
to provide for such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to
enable the Company to comply with its issuance, conversion exercise and
reservation of shares obligations as set forth in this Agreement, the Debentures
and the Warrants (the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding plus all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all
outstanding options, warrants and convertible instruments, and (y) the Current
Required Minimum, shall be a reasonable number). In connection therewith, the
Board of Directors shall (a) adopt proper resolutions authorizing such increase,
(b) recommend to and otherwise use its best efforts to promptly and duly obtain
stockholder approval to carry out such resolutions (and hold a special meeting
of the stockholders no later than the earlier to occur of the sixtieth (60th)
day after delivery of the proxy materials relating to such meeting and the
ninetieth (90th) day after request by a holder of Securities to issue the number
of Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms hereof) and (c) within five
(5) Business Days of obtaining such stockholder authorization, file an
appropriate amendment to the Company's certificate or articles of incorporation
to evidence such increase.

         3.6 Reservation and Listing of Underlying Shares. (a) The Company shall
(i) in the time and manner required by any national securities exchange, market,
trading or quotation facility on which the Common Stock is then traded, prepare
and file with such national securities exchange, market, trading or quotation
facility on which the Common Stock is then traded an additional shares listing
application covering a number of shares of Common Stock which is not less than
the Initial Minimum, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of
Common Stock to be approved for listing on any such national securities
exchange, market or trading or quotation facility on which the Common Stock is
then listed as soon as possible thereafter, and (iii) provide to the Purchasers
evidence of such listing, and the Company shall maintain the listing of its
Common Stock thereon. If the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon (x)
conversion in full of the then outstanding Debentures and (y) exercise in full
of the then unexercised portion of the Warrants, exceeds eighty-five percent
(85%) of the number of Underlying Shares previously listed on account thereof
with any such required exchanges, then the Company shall take the necessary
actions to immediately list a number of Underlying Shares as equals no less than
the then Current Required Minimum.

             (b) The Company shall maintain a reserve of shares of Common Stock
for issuance upon conversion of the Debentures in full and upon exercise in full
of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement, in such amount as may be
required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents,
which reserve shall equal no less than the then Current Required Minimum.

             (c) The Company shall at all times cause the number of shares of
Common Stock on deposit with the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers
for delivery to the Purchasers in accordance with the Debentures and the Warrant
to be not less than 200% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
in full of the Debentures and exercise in full of the Warrant; and within five
Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Purchaser's or the
Escrow Agent's notice that such minimum number of Underlying Shares is not so
deposited, the Company shall promptly deliver a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock to comply with such requirement.

             (d) The Purchasers shall have no rights of any nature whatsoever in
any of the shares of Common Stock delivered by the Company to the Escrow Agent
unless and until such Common Stock is delivered by the Escrow Agent to the
Purchasers in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement
and the Debentures or Warrant, as the case may be.

         3.7 Conversion and Exercise Procedures. The Transfer Agent
Instructions, the Escrow Agreement, the Conversion Notice (as defined in the
Debentures) and the Form of Election to Purchase (as defined in the Warrants)
sets forth the totality of the procedures with respect to the conversion of the
Debentures and the exercise of the Warrants, including the form of legal
opinion, if necessary, that shall be rendered to the Company's transfer agent
and such other information and instructions as may be reasonably necessary to
enable the Purchasers to convert their Debentures and their Warrants, as the
case may be.

         3.8 Conversion and Exercise Obligations of the Company. The Company
shall honor conversions of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants and shall
deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the respective terms, conditions
and time periods set forth in the Debentures and the Warrants.

         3.9 Subsequent Financing; Limitation on Registrations. (a) Subject to
Section 3.9(d) and (e), from the date hereof through the ninetieth (90th)
Trading Day following the Effective Date, the Company will not offer, sell,
grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer,
sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any of its or its
Affiliates' equity or equity equivalent securities (including the issuance of

             (b) Subject to Section 3.9(d) and (e), the Company shall not,
directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise
dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or
other disposition) any of its equity or equity-equivalent securities or
securities of any of its Affiliates that are exchangeable or convertible
(directly or indirectly) for shares of Common Stock, including the issuance of
any debt or other instrument at any time over the life thereof convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock (collectively, a "Subsequent Placement") from
the date hereof until the expiration of the 180th Trading Day after the
Effective Date, unless (A) the Company delivers to each of the Purchasers a
written notice (the "Subsequent Placement Notice") of its intention to effect
such Subsequent Placement, which Subsequent Placement Notice shall describe in
reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Placement, the amount of
proceeds intended to be raised thereunder, the Person with whom such Subsequent

receipt of the Subsequent Placement Notice of its willingness to provide (or to
cause its sole designee to provide), subject to completion of mutually
acceptable documentation, financing to the Company on the same terms set forth
in the Subsequent Placement Notice. If the Purchasers shall fail to notify the
Company of their intention to enter into such negotiations within such time
period, the Company may effect the Subsequent Placement substantially upon the
terms and to the Persons (or Affiliates of such Persons) set forth in the
Subsequent Placement Notice; provided, that the Company shall provide the
Purchasers with a second Subsequent Placement Notice, and the Purchasers shall
again have the right of first refusal set forth above in this paragraph (a), if
the Subsequent Placement subject to the initial Subsequent Placement Notice
shall not have been consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such
Subsequent Placement Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after the date of
the initial Subsequent Placement Notice with the Person (or an Affiliate of such
Person) identified in the Subsequent Placement Notice. If the Purchasers shall
indicate a willingness to provide financing in excess of the amount set forth in
the Subsequent Placement Notice, then each Purchaser shall be entitled to
provide financing pursuant to such Subsequent Placement Notice up to an amount
equal to such Purchaser's pro-rata portion of the aggregate number of Securities
purchased by such Purchaser under this Agreement, but the Company shall not be
required to accept financing from the Purchasers in an amount in excess of the
amount set forth in the Subsequent Placement Notice.

subsidiaries, an operating company in a business related to the business of the
Company and in which the Company receives material benefits in addition to the
investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is

Commission a Form D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company shall, no
less than two Business Days prior to the filing of any disclosure required by
clauses (ii) and (iii) above, provide a copy thereof to the Purchasers for their
review. The Company and the Purchasers shall consult with each other in issuing
any other press releases or otherwise making public statements or filings and
other communications with the Commission or any regulatory agency or stock
market or trading facility with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
and neither party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such
public statement, filings or other communications without the prior written
consent of the other, except that if such disclosure is required by law or stock
market regulation, in which such case the disclosing party shall promptly
provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement, filing or
other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
publicly disclose the names of the Purchasers, or include the names of the
Purchasers in any filing with the Commission, or any regulatory agency, trading
facility or stock market without the prior written consent of the Purchasers,
except to the extent such disclosure (but not any disclosure as to the
controlling Persons thereof) is required by law or stock market regulations, in
which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such
disclosure.

         3.11 Transfer of Intellectual Property Rights. Except in connection
with the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or
licensing arrangements in the ordinary course of the Company's business, the
Company shall not transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Intellectual
Property Rights, or allow any of the Intellectual Property Rights to become
subject to any Liens, or fail to renew such Intellectual Property Rights (if
renewable and it would otherwise lapse if not renewed), without the prior
written consent of the Purchasers.

         3.12 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the
sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and not for the
satisfaction of any portion of the Company's debt (other than payment of trade
payables in the ordinary course of the Company's business and prior practices),
to redeem any Company equity or equity-equivalent securities or to settle any
outstanding litigation.

         3.13 Reimbursement. So long as Purchasers have complied with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, if any Purchaser becomes involved in any
capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by or against any
Person, including stockholders of the Company, solely as a result of acquiring
the Securities under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Purchaser
for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including, but not limited to, the
cost of any investigation, preparation or travel) incurred in connection
therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The reimbursement obligations of the
Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the
Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to
any Affiliates of the Purchasers who are actually named in such action,
proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and
controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Purchasers and any such
Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors,
assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Purchasers and
any such Affiliate and any such Person. The Company also agrees that neither the
Purchasers nor any such Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or
controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person
asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company solely as a result of
acquiring the Securities under this Agreement.

         3.14 Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information (a) The Company shall not
disclose non-public information to the Purchasers or their advisors or
representatives unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company
identifies such information as being non-public information and the Purchasers
enter into a non-disclosure agreement in form mutually acceptable to the Company
and the Purchasers.

             (b) The Company represents that it does not disseminate non-public
information to any investors who purchase stock in the Company in a public
offering, to money managers or to securities analysts. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the Company will immediately
notify the Purchasers of any event or the existence of any circumstance (without
any obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it
becomes aware, (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally during the course of due diligence by such persons or entities),
which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the Underlying Shares
Registration Statement would cause such prospectus to include a material
misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order
to make the statements, therein in light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading.

         3.15 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the
Company or any other Person that any Purchaser is an "Acquiring Person" under
any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or
hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to
trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving
Securities or shares of Common Stock under the Transaction Documents.

                                   ARTICLE IV

be retained by the Purchasers and shall not be delivered to the Company at the
Closing. Other than the amount contemplated herein, and except as otherwise
specified in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Security Agreement, each
party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and
other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to
the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement. The Company shall pay all stamp and other taxes and duties levied in
connection with the issuance of the Securities.

federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of the any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that

waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party

         4.9 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants
contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery, exercise and
conversion of the Warrants or the Debentures, as the case may be.

         4.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the
same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by
each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both
parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature

damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any
breach of its obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees

defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document is several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Purchasers are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Purchaser shall
be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without
limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

         THIS DEBENTURE is one of a series of duly authorized and issued
debentures of Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having a
principal place of business at 446 Lincoln Highway, Fairless Hills, PA 19030
(the "Company"), designated as its 12% Secured Convertible Debentures, due
December [ ], 2001, in the aggregate principal amount of Six Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($600,000) (the "Debentures").

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to [ ] or its
registered assigns (the "Holder"), the principal sum of $[ ], on December [ ],
2001 or such earlier date as the Debentures are required or permitted to be
repaid as provided hereunder (the "Maturity Date") and to pay interest to the
Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of
this Debenture at the rate of 12% per annum, payable on a quarterly basis on
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year while such

Conversion Date (as defined herein) (each an "Interest Payment Date") for such
principal amount, commencing on the earlier to occur of a Conversion Date for
such principal amount and December 31, 2000, in cash or shares of Common Stock
(as defined in Section 6). Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the
Holder may elect to receive interest hereunder in shares of Common Stock or
cash. If interest is paid by the Company in shares of its Common Stock, then the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable on account of such interest shall
equal the cash amount of such interest on such Interest Payment Date divided by
the Conversion Price (as defined below) on such date. Interest shall be
calculated on the basis on a 360-day year and shall accrue daily commencing on
the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 6) until payment in full of the
principal sum, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts
which may become due hereunder, has been made. Interest hereunder will be paid
to the Person (as defined in Section 6) in whose name this Debenture is
registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of
Debentures (the "Debenture Register"). All overdue accrued and unpaid interest
to be paid in cash hereunder shall entail a late fee at the rate of 15% per
annum ("Late Fee") (or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be
charged under applicable law) which will accrue daily, from the date such
interest is due hereunder through and including the date of payment, payable in
cash or, at the option of the Holder, in shares of Common Stock. If such Late
Fee is paid by the Company in shares of its Common Stock, then the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable on account of such Late Fee shall equal the cash
amount of such Late Fee on such Late Fee payment date divided by the Conversion
Price on such date.

         This Debenture is subject to the following additional provisions:

         Section 1. This Debenture is exchangeable for an equal aggregate
principal amount of Debentures of different authorized denominations, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made
for such registration of transfer or exchange.

         Section 2. This Debenture has been issued subject to certain investment
representations of the original Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as
defined in Section 6) and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance
with the Purchase Agreement. Prior to due presentment to the Company for
transfer of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat
the Person (as defined in Section 6) in whose name this Debenture is duly
registered on the Debenture Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of
receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not
this Debenture is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

         aggregate of eight Trading Days (which need not be consecutive Trading
         Days);

                           (ix) an Event (as defined in the Registration Rights
         Agreement) shall not have been cured to the satisfaction of the Holder
         prior to the expiration of thirty days from the Event Date (as defined
         in the Registration Rights Agreement) relating thereto (other than an
         Event resulting from a failure of an Underlying Shares Registration
         Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the
         120th day after the Original Issue Date, which shall be covered by
         Section 3(a)(vii));

                           (x) the Company shall fail for any reason to deliver
         certificates to a Holder prior to the third Trading Day after a
         Conversion Date pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4(b) or the
         Company shall provide notice to the Holder, including by way of public
         announcement, at any time, of its intention not to comply with requests
         for conversions of any Debentures in accordance with the terms hereof;

                           (xi) if the registration statement on Form 10 filed
         by the Company with with the Commission pursuant to Sections 12(b) or
         12(g) (as applicable) of the Exchange Act is not declared effective by
         the 30th Trading Day after the Original Issue Date or if after the
         registration statement is declared effective, such effectiveness of the
         registration statement lapses for any reason for more than five
         consecutive Trading Days;

                           (xii) the Company shall fail for any reason to
         deliver the payment in cash pursuant to a Buy-In (as defined herein)
         within five days after notice is claimed delivered hereunder; or

                  (b) During the time that any portion of this Debenture is
outstanding, if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the full
principal amount of this Debenture (and, at the Holder's option, all other
Debentures then held by such Holder), together with interest and other amounts
owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become at the
Holder's election, immediately due and payable in cash, provided however, that
if the Company informs the Holder that it will be unable to pay the amounts due
in cash, the Holder may request payment of such amounts in stock. The number of
shares of Common Stock issuable in payment thereof shall be determined by
dividing the aggregate amount due to the Holder by the Conversion Price. The
aggregate amount payable upon an Event of Default shall be equal to the sum of
(i) the Mandatory Prepayment Amount (as defined in Section 6) plus (ii) the
product of (A) the number of Underlying Shares issued in respect of conversions
hereunder within thirty days of the date of a declaration of an Event of Default
and then held by the Holder and (B) the Per Share Market Value (as defined in
Section 6) on the date prepayment is due or the date the full prepayment price
is paid, whichever is greater. Interest shall accrue on the prepayment amount
hereunder from the seventh day after such amount is due (being the date of an
Event of Default) through the date of prepayment in full thereof at the rate of
15% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by
applicable law), to accrue daily from the date such payment is due hereunder
through and including the date of payment. All Debentures and Underlying Shares
for which the full prepayment price hereunder shall have been paid in accordance
herewith shall promptly be surrendered to or as directed by the Company. The
Holder need not provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without
expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies
hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such
declaration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment
hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

         Section 4.          Conversion.

                  (a) (i) Conversion at Option of Holder. (A) This Debenture
shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, in
whole or in part at any time and from time to time, after the Original Issue
Date (subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 4(a)(ii)
hereof). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion
hereunder equals the sum of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the
Conversion Price (as defined herein), and (ii) the amount equal to (I) the
product of (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be
converted and (y) the product of (1) the quotient obtained by dividing .12 by
360 and (2) the number of days for which such principal amount was outstanding,
divided by (II) the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date, provided, that if
the Holder shall have elected to receive the interest due on a Conversion Date
in cash, subsection (ii) shall not be used in the calculation of the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder.

                           (B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if on any Conversion Date:

                           (1) the number of shares of Common Stock at the time
         authorized, unissued and unreserved for all purposes, or held as
         treasury stock, is insufficient to pay interest hereunder in shares of
         Common Stock;

                           (2) after the Interest Effectiveness Date (as defined
         in Section 6) such shares of Common Stock (x) are not registered for
         resale pursuant to an effective Underlying Shares Registration
         Statement and (y) may not be sold without volume restrictions pursuant
         to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (as defined in
         Section 6), as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a
         written opinion letter, addressed to the Company's transfer agent in
         the form and substance acceptable to the applicable Holder and such
         transfer agent (if the shares of Common Stock are permitted by the
         Holder to be delivered under this clause (2) prior to the Effectiveness
         Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and thereafter
         an Underlying Shares Registration Statement shall be declared effective
         by the Commission, the Company shall, within three Trading Days after
         the date of such declaration of effectiveness, exchange such shares for
         shares of Common Stock that are free of restrictive legends of any
         kind);

                           (3)  the Common Stock is not listed or quoted  or
         trading on the OTC or on a Subsequent Market;

                           (4) the Company has failed to timely satisfy its
         conversion obligations hereunder; or

                                      -6-

<PAGE>


                           (5) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would
         result in a violation  of Sections 4(a)(ii),

                           then, at the option of the Holder, the Company, in
lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(i)(A)(ii),
shall deliver, within three Trading Days of each applicable Conversion Date, an
amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the outstanding principal amount of
the Debentures to be converted on such Conversion Date and (b) the product of
(x) the quotient obtained by dividing .12 by 360 and (y) the number of days for
which such principal amount was outstanding.

                           (C) The Holder shall effect conversions by
simultaneously delivering to the Company and the Escrow Agent a completed notice
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a "Conversion Notice"), including a
completed Conversion Schedule in the form of Schedule 1 to the Conversion Notice
(on each Conversion Date, the "Conversion Schedule"). The Conversion Schedule
shall set forth the remaining principal amount of this Debenture and all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon subsequent to the conversion at issue. The date on
which a Conversion Notice is delivered is the "Conversion Date." Unless the
Holder is converting the entire principal amount outstanding under this
Debenture, the Holder is not be required to physically surrender this Debenture
to the Company in order to effect conversions. Subject to Section 4(b), each
Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. Conversions hereunder shall
have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture
plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon in an amount equal to the
applicable conversion, which shall be evidenced by entries set forth in the
Conversion Schedule. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. In the event of
any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error.

                  (ii)     Certain Conversion Restrictions.

                                    (A) A Holder may not convert Debentures or
receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent
such conversion or receipt of such interest payment would result in the Holder,
together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of, and payment of
interest on, the Debentures held by such Holder after application of this
Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the
number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion
hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares
of Common Stock in excess of 4.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the
Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and
obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will
limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder
determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the


                                      -7-

<PAGE>

determination of which portion of the principal amount of Debentures are
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Debentures
that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may
beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount
hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the
conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such
Conversion Date in accordance with the periods described in Section 4(b) and, at
the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for
conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or
return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this
Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other
Holder) upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders
shall be unaffected by any such waiver.


                                    (B) A Holder may not convert Debentures or
receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent
such conversion or receipt of such interest payment would result in the Holder,
together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of, and payment of
interest on, the Debentures held by such Holder after application of this
Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the
number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion
hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares
of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the
Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and
obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will
limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder
determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the
determination of which portion of the principal amount of Debentures are
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Debentures
that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may
beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount
hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the
conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such
Conversion Date in accordance with the periods described in Section 4(b) and, at
the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for
conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or
return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this
Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other
Holder) upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders
shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

                  (b) (i) Not later than three Trading Days after any Conversion
Date, (i) the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to deliver to the
Holder a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends
and trading restrictions (other than those required by Section 3.1(b) of the
Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable

                                      -8-


<PAGE>

upon such conversion in accordance with the terms hereof (if there is no Escrow
Agent for such purpose or for any reason there are insufficient shares of Common
Stock deposited with the Escrow Agent for delivery to the Holder upon conversion
hereunder, the Corporation will deliver to the Holder within three Trading Days
the shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion), and (ii) if the
Holder has elected to receive accrued interest in cash, the Company will deliver
to the Holder a bank check, payable to Holder, in the amount of accrued and
unpaid interest. If requested by a Holder, the Company and the Escrow Agent will
use their best efforts to deliver conversion shares electronically through the
Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation
performing similar functions. If shares of Common Stock issuable following a
Conversion Notice are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the third
Trading Day after a Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written
notice to the Escrow Agent and the Company at any time on or before its receipt
of such shares, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall
immediately return to the Holder a Debenture in principal amount equal to the
principal amount, interest and all other amounts due in respect of the
Conversion Notice (provided the Holder is converting the entire principal amount
outstanding under this Debenture).

                  (ii) If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such
certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) by the third Trading Day
after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $5,000 for each Trading Day after such
third Trading Day until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall
limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 3 herein for the Company's failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified
herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to
it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not
prohibit the Holders from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other
Section hereof or under applicable law. Further, if the Company shall not have
delivered any cash due in respect of conversions of Debentures or as payment of
interest thereon by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder
may, by notice to the Company, require the Company to issue shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Section 4(c), except that for such purpose the Conversion
Price applicable thereto shall be the lesser of the Conversion Price on the
Conversion Date and the Conversion Price on the date of such Holder demand. Any
such shares will be subject to the provision of this Section.

                  (iii) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates
pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date,
and if after such third Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
such Holder of the Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon
such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the
Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the
amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder
anticipated receiving from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the market
price of the Common Stock at the time of the sale giving rise to such purchase
obligation and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue Debentures in
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion or
deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued had the Company timely complied with its delivery requirements under
Section 4(b)(i). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a
total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
conversion of Debentures with respect to which the market price of the
Underlying Shares on the date of conversion was a total of $10,000 under clause
(A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay
the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a Holder requires
the Company to make payment in respect of a Buy-In for the failure to timely
deliver certificates hereunder and the Company timely pays in full such payment,
the Company shall not be required to pay such Holder liquidated damages under
Section 4(b)(ii) in respect of the certificates resulting in such Buy-In.

         (c) (i) The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") in effect on any
Conversion Date shall be the lesser of (1) $0.08 (the "Initial Conversion
Price"), and (2) 50% of the average of the lowest three inter-day trading prices
(which need not occur on consecutive Trading Days) during the ten Trading Days
immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date (which may include Trading
Days prior to the Original Issue Date), provided, that such ten Trading Day
period shall be extended for the number of Trading Days during such period in
which (A) trading in the Common Stock is suspended by, or not traded on, the OTC
or a Subsequent Market on which the Common Stock is then listed, or (B) after
the date declared effective by the Commission, the Underlying Shares
Registration Statement is either not effective or the Prospectus included in the
Underlying Shares Registration Statement may not be used by the Holder for the
resale of Underlying Shares.

                  (ii) If the Company, at any time while the Debentures are
outstanding, (a) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity
equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine
(including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of
the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Initial
Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any)
outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

                                      -10-


<PAGE>


                  (iii) If the Company, at any time while Debentures are
outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common
Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the Per Share Market Value at the
record date mentioned below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock
offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of the Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any)
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number
of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so
offered would purchase at such Per Share Market Value. Such adjustment shall be
made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such rights, options or warrants. However, upon the expiration of any
such right, option or warrant to purchase shares of the Common Stock the
issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to
this Section, if any such right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not
have been exercised, the Conversion Price shall immediately upon such expiration
be recomputed and effective immediately upon such expiration be increased to the
price which it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the
Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of this Section after the
issuance of such rights or warrants) had the adjustment of the Conversion Price
made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the
basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of the
Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights, options or
warrants actually exercised.

                  (iv) If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable
with respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), at any time while
Debentures are outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or rights,
warrants, options or other securities or debt that are convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") entitling
any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the
Conversion Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent
so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments,
reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise,
or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in connection
with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price per
share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to
have occurred for less than the Conversion Price), then, at the sole option of
the Holder, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to mirror the conversion,
exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
(including any reset provisions thereof) at issue. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company
shall notify the Holder and the Escrow Agent in writing, no later than the
business day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other
pricing terms. No adjustment under this Section shall be made as a result of (i)
issuances of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to the extent disclosed in
Schedule 2.1(c) to the Purchase Agreement, (ii) issuances and exercises of
options to purchase shares of Common Stock issued for compensatory purposes
pursuant to any of the Company's stock option or stock purchase plans, or (iii)
exercises under the Warrants (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

                  (v) If the Company, at any time while Debentures are
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to
Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion
Price at which Debentures shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date
fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by
a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Per Share Market Value
determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator
shall be such Per Share Market Value on such record date less the then fair
market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of
indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common
Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the
adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment
shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
immediately after the record date mentioned above.

                  (vi) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or
any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted
into other securities, cash or property, the Holders shall have the right
thereafter to, at their option, (A) convert the then outstanding principal
amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then
owing hereunder in respect of this Debenture only into the shares of stock and
other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by
holders of the Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange,
and the Holders of the Debentures shall be entitled upon such event to receive
such amount of securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of
the Company into which the then outstanding principal amount, together with all
accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder in
respect of this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such
reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled or (B) require the
Company to prepay the aggregate of its outstanding principal amount of
Debentures, plus all interest and other amounts due and payable thereon, at a
price determined in accordance with Section 3(b). The entire prepayment price
shall be paid in cash. This provision shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications or share exchanges.

                  (vii) All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to
the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. No
adjustments in either the Conversion Price or the Initial Conversion Price shall
be required if such adjustment is less than $0.01, provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this Section are not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

                                      -12-


<PAGE>


                  (viii) Whenever either the Initial Conversion Price or the
Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of Section 4(c)(ii) - (v), the
Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Initial
Conversion Price or Conversion Price (as applicable) after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

                  (ix) If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any
class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company
shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock,
any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office
or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Debentures, and shall
cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear
upon the stock books of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x)
the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken,
the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to
such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided, that the
failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice. Holders are entitled to convert Debentures during the 20-day
period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event
triggering such notice.

                  (x) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company of more than one-half of
the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder
shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under Section 3(b), (B) convert
its aggregate principal amount of Debentures then outstanding into the shares of
stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be
held by holders of Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale,
and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to

                                      -13-


<PAGE>

receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common
Stock into which such aggregate principal amount of Debentures could have been
converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have
been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the
surviving entity to issue to the Holder convertible debentures with a principal
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures then held by such
Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon,
which newly issued convertible debentures shall have terms identical (including
with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Debenture, and shall be
entitled to all of the rights and privileges of a Holder of Debentures set forth
herein and the agreements pursuant to which the Debentures were issued. In the
case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares
of convertible preferred stock or convertible debentures shall be based upon the
amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common Stock would
receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such
merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give
the Holders the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in
this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This
provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.

         (d) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for
the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Debentures and payment of
interest on the Debentures, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights
or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the
Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall
(subject to any additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such
shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the
adjustments and restrictions of Section 4(b)) upon the conversion of the
outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and payment of interest
hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be
so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully
paid, nonassessable and, if the Underlying Shares Registration Statement has
been declared effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in
accordance with such Underlying Shares Registration Statement.

         (e) Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to
issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock,
but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final
fraction of a share based on the Per Share Market Value at such time. If the
Company elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall
be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole
share of Common Stock.

         (f) The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on
conversion of the Debentures shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof
for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the
issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

other than that of the Holder of such Debentures so converted and the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the
person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid.

         (g) Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be
provided by the Holders hereunder, including, without limitation, any Conversion
Notice, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a
nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by certified or
registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company, at 446 Lincoln

the facsimile telephone number or address of such Holder appearing on the books
of the Company, or if no such facsimile telephone number or address appears, at
the principal place of business of the Holder. Any notice or other communication

(i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section prior to
5:00 p.m. (New York City time), (ii) the date after the date of transmission, if

(iii) four days after deposit in the United States mail, (iv) the Business Day
following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight
courier service, or (v) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
required to be given.

      Section 5. Optional Prepayment. During the first 30 days following the
Original Issue Date, the Company shall have the right to prepay all or any
portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture for which
Conversion Notices have not previously been delivered by delivery of the
prepayment price to the Holder together with a written accounting of the
principal amount to be prepaid plus other amounts owing thereon. The prepayment
price applicable to prepayments under this Section must be paid in full by 5:00
p.m. (New York time) on the 30th day following the Original Issue Date in cash
and shall equal 130% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be prepaid,
and all unpaid and accrued interest thereon. The prepayment contemplated in the
Company's prepayment notice shall be, at the option of the Holder, null and void
if any portion of the prepayment is not timely paid in full. Upon receipt of the
prepayment price for a prepayment under this Section, the Holder shall, (i) if
such prepayment is only for a portion of the principal amount then outstanding
under this Debenture, promptly deliver to the Company a revised Conversion
Schedule reflecting such prepayment or (ii) if such prepayment is for the entire
then outstanding principal amount under this Debenture, promptly deliver this
Debenture, marked paid in full.

Securities Act, within five days of the date that the Company is notified
(orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a

or (c) a Registration Statement filed hereunder is not declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to its Effectiveness Date, or (d) after a Registration
Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission, such
Registration Statement ceases to be effective as to all Registrable Securities

Effectiveness Period without being succeeded within ten Business Days by an
amendment to such Registration Statement or by a subsequent Registration
Statement filed with and declared effective by the Commission, or (e) the Common
Stock shall not be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or shall be delisted or
suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange,

are suspended for any reason, or (g) an amendment to a Registration Statement is
not filed by the Company with the Commission within ten Business Days of the
Commission's notifying the Company that such amendment is required in order for
such Registration Statement to be declared effective (any such failure or breach
being referred to as an "Event," and for purposes of clauses (a), (c), (f) the
date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (b) the date on which
such five day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clauses (d) and (g) the
date which such ten Business Day-period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause
(e) the date on which such three Trading Day-period is exceeded, being referred
to as "Event Date"), then, on each such Event Date and every monthly anniversary
thereof until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each
Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to
2.0% of the purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, or at the Holder's option, in shares of Common Stock. If the Holder
elects to receive such liquidated damages in shares of Common Stock, then the
number of shares issuable to such Holder shall be determined based upon a price
which is equal to the average of the three lowest inter-day trading prices (as
reported by Bloomberg Information Services) during the ten Trading Days
immediately preceding the Event Date or the monthly anniversary thereof. If the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full
within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon
at a rate of 15% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to
be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such
liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon,
are paid in full. The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall
apply on a pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an
Event.

         3.       Registration Procedures

                  In connection with the Company's registration obligations
hereunder, the Company shall:

                  (a) Not less than five Business Days prior to the filing of
each Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall, (i) furnish to the
Holders and their Special Counsel copies of all such documents proposed to be
filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders and
their Special Counsel, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and
independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall
be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to conduct a
reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company
shall not file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities and their Special Counsel shall reasonably object,
provided, the Company is notified of such objection no later than 3 Business
Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of such documents.

                  (b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,
including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the
Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable
Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission
such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under
the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related
Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement,
and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii)
respond as promptly as reasonably possible, and in any event within ten Business
Days, to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as reasonably
possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from
and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in
all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the
Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

                  (c) File additional Registration Statements if the number of
Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 85% of the number of shares of Common
Stock then registered in all their existing Registration Statements hereunder
which additional Registration Statement shall cover 120% or more of the number
of unregistered Registrable Securities.

                  (d) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold
and their Special Counsel as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case
of (i)(A) below, not less than five Business Days prior to such filing) and (if
requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one
Business Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed
to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be
a "review" of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments
in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and
complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the
Holders); and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any
request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority
for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for
additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or
all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that
purpose; (iv) if at any time any of the representations and warranties of the
Company contained in any agreement contemplated hereby ceases to be true and
correct in all material respects; (v) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such
purpose; and (vi) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes
the financial statements included in the Registration Statement ineligible for
inclusion therein or any statement made in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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.

                  (e) Promptly deliver to each Holder and their Special Counsel,
without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each
form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may
reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus
and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in
connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by
such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

                  (f) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities,
use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling
Holders and their Special Counsel in connection with the registration or
qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such
Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws
of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in
writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption
therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other
acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement;
provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do
business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or subject the
Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject.

                  (g) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to
be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which
certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement,
of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in
such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.

                  (h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section
3(d)(vi), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment,
including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a
supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such
Prospectus will contain an 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 under which they were made,
not misleading.

                  (i) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission.

                  4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to

qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities and determination of
the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of
such jurisdictions as requested by the Holders)), (ii) printing expenses

Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses requested by the Holders),

         5.       Indemnification

                  (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall,
notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless
each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, brokers (including brokers who
offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or
any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors
and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling
Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without
limitation, costs of preparation and attorneys' fees) and expenses
(collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or
relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any
Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent,
but only to the extent, that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based
solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such
information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved
in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such
Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section
3(d)(ii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus
after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is
outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice
contemplated in Section 6(e). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of
the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is
aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally
and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors,
officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act),
and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject
to appeal or review) arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any
Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by
such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration
Statement or such Prospectus or to the extent that (1) such untrue statements or

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in
writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the
extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed
method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly
approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration
Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type
specified in Section 3(d)(ii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated or
defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that
the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder
of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(e). In no event shall the liability of
any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the
net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities
giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

                  (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding
shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder
(an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and
the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the
payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof;
provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall
not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to
this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not
subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately
and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

                  An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in
writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have
failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3)
the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such
Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest
is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies
the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any
pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

                  All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including
reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with
investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not
inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as
incurred, within ten Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying
Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified
Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the
Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse
all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined
that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

                  (d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section
5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy
or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission
or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to
information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other
reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any
Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or
expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to
such party in accordance with its terms.

                  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into
account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall
be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount
by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the
Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any
damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

                  The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have
to the Indemnified Parties.

                  (a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company
and the Holders of at least two-thirds of the then outstanding Registrable
Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from
the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the
rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of
other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable
Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the
provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except
in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

                  (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of
its subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or
any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any
agreement with respect to its securities that would have the effect of impairing
the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with
the provisions hereof. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 6(b)
hereto, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has previously entered
into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its
securities to any Person.

                  (c) No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent
specified in Schedule 6(b) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security
holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include
securities of the Company in the Registration Statement other than the
Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter
into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders.

                  (d) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as
applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Registration Statement.

                  (e) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its
acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from
the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections
3(d)(ii), 3(d)(iii), 3(d)(iv), 3(d)(v) or 3(d)(vi), such Holder will forthwith
discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration
Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented
Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3(h),
or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that the use of
the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received
copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.
The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of
this paragraph.

                  (f) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the

file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for
its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its
equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under
the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to
be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or
equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee
benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such
determination and, if within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, any such
Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such
registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such
holder requests to be registered.

                              Plan of Distribution

         The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:

o        ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
         broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

o        block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
         as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
         principal to facilitate the transaction;

o        purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
         broker-dealer for its account;

o        an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
         exchange;

o        privately negotiated transactions;

o        short sales;

o        broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a
         specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

o        a combination of any such methods of sale; and

o        any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

         The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

         The Selling Stockholders may also engage in short sales against the
box, puts and calls and other transactions in securities of the Company or
derivatives of Company securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection
with these trades. The Selling Stockholders may pledge their shares to their
brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a Selling
Stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer
and sell the pledged shares. The Selling Stockholders have advised the Company
that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements
with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares other
than ordinary course brokerage arrangements, nor is there an underwriter or
coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of shares by the
Selling Stockholders.

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

         Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for
other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer
acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

         The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

         The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Selling Stockholders. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling
Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.

Agreement and the Debentures, in each case, whether now or hereafter existing,
voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated

<PAGE>

or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not
from time to time decreased or extinguished and later decreased, created or
incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are
paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered
directly or indirectly from the Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent
transfer or otherwise as such obligations may be amended, supplemented,
converted, extended or modified from time to time.

             (d) "UCC" means the Uniform Commercial Code, as currently in effect
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

         2.  Grant of Security Interest. As an inducement for the Secured Party
to purchase the Debentures and to secure the complete and timely payment,
performance and discharge in full, as the case may be, of all of the
Obligations, the Company hereby, unconditionally and irrevocably, pledges,
grants and hypothecates to the Secured Party, a continuing security interest in,
a first lien upon and a right of set-off against all of the Company's right,
title and interest of whatsoever kind and nature in and to the Collateral (the
"Security Interest").

         3.  Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements of the
Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with,
the Secured Party as follows:

             (a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder.
The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the
filings contemplated therein have been duly authorized by all necessary action
on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company.

             (b) The Company represents and warrants that it has no place of
business or offices where its respective books of account and records are kept
(other than temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or
places where Collateral is stored or located, except as set forth on Schedule A
attached hereto;

             (c) The Company is the sole owner of the Collateral (except for
non-exclusive licenses granted by the Company in the ordinary course of
business), free and clear of any liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights
or claims, and is fully authorized to grant the Security Interest in and to
pledge the Collateral. There is not on file in any governmental or regulatory
authority, agency or recording office an effective financing statement, security
agreement, license or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than
those that have been filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this
Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. So long as this
Agreement shall be in effect, the Company shall not execute and shall not
knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or agency any such financing
statement or other document or instrument (except to the extent filed or
recorded in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement).


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

             (d) No part of the Collateral has been judged invalid or
unenforceable. No written claim has been received that any Collateral or the
Company's use of any Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There
has been no adverse decision to the Company's claim of ownership rights in or
exclusive rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to the Company's
right to keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and effect, and there
is no proceeding involving said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of the
Company, threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or
regulatory agency, arbitrator or other governmental authority.

             (e) The Company shall at all times maintain its books of account
and records relating to the Collateral at its principal place of business and
its Collateral at the locations set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and may
not relocate such books of account and records or tangible Collateral unless it
delivers to the Secured Party at least 30 days prior to such relocation (i)
written notice of such relocation and the new location thereof (which must be
within the United States) and (ii) evidence that appropriate financing
statements and other necessary documents have been filed and recorded and other
steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interest to create in favor of the
Secured Party valid, perfected and continuing first priority liens in the
Collateral.

             (f) This Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid
security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the
Obligations and, upon making the filings described in the immediately following
sentence, a perfected first priority security interest in such Collateral.
Except for the filing of financing statements on Form-1 under the UCC with the
jurisdictions indicated on Schedule B, attached hereto, no authorization or
approval of or filing with or notice to any governmental authority or regulatory
body is required either (i) for the grant by the Company of, or the
effectiveness of, the Security Interest granted hereby or for the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company or (ii) for the
perfection of or exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and remedies
hereunder.

             (g) On the date of execution of this Agreement, the Company will
deliver to the Secured Party one or more executed UCC financing statements on
Form-1 with respect to the Security Interest for filing with the jurisdictions
indicated on Schedule B, attached hereto and in such other jurisdictions as may
be requested by the Secured Party.

             (h) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does
not conflict with or cause a breach or default, or an event that with or without
the passage of time or notice, shall constitute a breach or default, under any
agreement to which the Company is a party or by the Company is bound. No consent
(including, without limitation, from stock holders or creditors of the Company)
is required for the Company to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder.


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

             (i) The Company shall at all times maintain the liens and Security
Interest provided for hereunder as valid and perfected first priority liens and
security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Secured Party until this
Agreement and the Security Interest hereunder shall terminated pursuant to
Section 11. The Company hereby agrees to defend the same against any and all
persons. The Company shall safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account
of the Secured Party. At the request of the Secured Party, the Company will sign
and deliver to the Secured Party at any time or from time to time one or more
financing statements pursuant to the UCC (or any other applicable statute) in
form reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party and will pay the cost of
filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the
Secured Party to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations
provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the
Collateral and the Security Interest hereunder, and the Company shall obtain and
furnish to the Secured Party from time to time, upon demand, such releases
and/or subordinations of claims and liens which may be required to maintain the
priority of the Security Interest hereunder.

             (j) The Company will not transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber,
license (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by the Company in the
ordinary course of business), sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral
without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.

             (k) The Company shall keep and preserve its Equipment, Inventory
and other tangible Collateral in good condition, repair and order and shall not
operate or locate any such Collateral (or cause to be operated or located) in
any area excluded from insurance coverage.

             (l) The Company shall, within ten (10) days of obtaining knowledge
thereof, advise the Secured Party promptly, in sufficient detail, of any
substantial change in the Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which
would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the
Secured Party's security interest therein.

             (m) The Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Secured
Party such further deeds, mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing
statements or other instruments, documents, certificates and assurances and take
such further action as the Secured Party may from time to time request and may
in its sole discretion deem necessary to perfect, protect or enforce its
security interest in the Collateral including, without limitation, the execution
and delivery of a separate security agreement with respect to the Company's
intellectual property ("Intellectual Property Security Agreement") in which the
Secured Party has been granted a security interest hereunder, substantially in a
form acceptable to the Secured Party, which Intellectual Property Security
Agreement, other than as stated therein, shall be subject to all of the terms
and conditions hereof.


                                      -5-
<PAGE>

             (n) The Company shall permit the Secured Party and its
representatives and agents to inspect the Collateral at any time, and to make
copies of records pertaining to the Collateral as may be requested by the
Secured Party from time to time.

             (o) The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to
diligently pursue and seek to preserve, enforce and collect any rights, claims,
causes of action and accounts receivable in respect of the Collateral.

             (p) The Company shall promptly notify the Secured Party in
sufficient detail upon becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution
or other legal process levied against any Collateral and of any other
information received by the Company that may materially affect the value of the
Collateral, the Security Interest or the rights and remedies of the Secured
Party hereunder.

             (q) All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the
Secured Party by or on behalf of the Company with respect to the Collateral is
accurate and complete in all material respects as of the date furnished.

             (r) Schedule A, attached hereto contains a list of all of the
subsidiaries of Digital.

         4.  Defaults. The following events shall be "Events of Default":

             (a) The occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the
Debentures) under the Debentures;

             (b) Any representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement
shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made;

             (c) The failure by the Company to observe or perform any of its
obligations hereunder for ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of notice
of such failure from the Secured Party; and

             (d) Any breach of, or default under, the Warrants.

         5.  Duty To Hold In Trust. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
and at any time thereafter, the Company shall, upon receipt by it of any
revenue, income or other sums subject to the Security Interest, whether payable
pursuant to the Debentures or otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade
acceptance or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum,
hold the same in trust for the Secured Party and shall forthwith endorse and
transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, to the Secured Party for
application to the satisfaction of the Obligations.


                                      -6-
<PAGE>

         6.  Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Upon occurrence of any Event of
Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party shall have the right to
exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under the Debentures, and
the Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the UCC and/or any other applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial
Code of any jurisdiction in which any Collateral is then located). Without
limitation, the Secured Party shall have the following rights and powers:

             (a) The Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of
the Collateral and, for that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any
person, any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be
placed and remove the same, and the Company shall assemble the Collateral and
make it available to the Secured Party at places which the Secured Party shall
reasonably select, whether at the Company's premises or elsewhere, and make
available to the Secured Party, without rent, all of the Company's respective
premises and facilities for the purpose of the Secured Party taking possession
of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form.

             (b) The Secured Party shall have the right to operate the business
of the Company using the Collateral and shall have the right to assign, sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at
public or private sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions
or stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or
parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such
terms and conditions as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, all
without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived)
advertisement or demand upon or notice to the Company or right of redemption of
the Company, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease,
assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party may, unless
prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of
the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right
of redemption and equities of the Company, which are hereby waived and released.

         7.  Applications of Proceeds. The proceeds of any such sale, lease or
other disposition of the Collateral hereunder shall be applied first, to the
expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale,
selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other
costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in enforcing its
rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the
Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations, and to the payment of
any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Party
shall pay to the Company any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or
other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to
pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, the Company will
be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 15%
per annum (the "Default Rate"), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys
employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency. To the extent


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

permitted by applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages and demands
against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or
sale of the Collateral, unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Secured Party.

         8.  Costs and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all out-of-pocket
fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required
hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements, continuation
statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto or
any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Secured Party. The
Company shall also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable
opinion of the Secured Party might prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the
Collateral or the Security Interest therein. The Company will also, upon demand,
pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses,
including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and
agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement
of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party under the
Debentures. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the
principal amount of the Debentures and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

         9.  Responsibility for Collateral. The Company assumes all liabilities
and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the obligations of the
Company hereunder or under the Debentures and the Warrant shall in no way be
affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of
any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason.

         10. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party and all
Obligations of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement,
the Debentures, the Warrant or any agreement entered into in connection with the
foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner
or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of
the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from the Debentures, the Warrant or any other agreement entered into
in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of
any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any other collateral for, or any guaranty, or any other security,
for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Party to
obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or
matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense
available to the Company, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security
Interest granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and
performed in full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the
Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the
running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. The Company expressly
waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and
demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be
deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a
voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency
laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party
other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, the Company's obligations
hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this
Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Company waives all right to
require the Secured Party to proceed against any other person or to apply any
Collateral which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets,
or to pursue any other remedy. The Company waives any defense arising by reason
of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured
hereby.

         11. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest shall
terminate on the date on which all obligations under the Debentures have been
fulfilled and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged. Upon such
termination, the Secured Party, at the request and at the expense of the
Company, will join in executing any termination statement with respect to any
financing statement executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement.

          12. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances. (a) The Company authorizes
the Secured Party, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint it, and its
respective officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of
substitution, as the Company's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in
its own name or in the name of the Company, to, after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) endorse any notes, checks, drafts,
money orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under
or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may
come into possession of the Secured Party; (ii) to sign and endorse any UCC
financing statement or any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading,
storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments,
verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and other documents
relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security
interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened
against the Collateral; (iv) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle
and sue for monies due in respect of the Collateral; and (v) generally, to do,
at the option of the Secured Party, and at the Company's expense, at any time,
or from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured Party deems
necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the Security
Interest granted therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, the
Debentures and the Warrant, all as fully and effectually as the Company might or
could do; and the Company hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully
do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with
an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and
thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding.

             (b) On a continuing basis, the Company will make, execute,
acknowledge, deliver, file and record, as the case may be, in the proper filing
and recording places in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the
jurisdictions indicated on Schedule B, attached hereto, all such instruments,


                                      -9-
<PAGE>

and take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or
as reasonably requested by the Secured Party, to perfect the Security Interest
granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this
Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to the Secured Party the grant or
perfection of a security interest in all the Collateral.

             (c) The Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as
the Company's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of
the Company and in the name of the Company, from time to time in the Secured
Party's discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the
Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more
financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of
the Collateral without the signature of the Company where permitted by law.

         13. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing, with copies to all the other parties hereto, and

         14. Other Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or
hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee,
endorsement or property of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity,
then the Secured Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pursue,
relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto,
without in any way modifying or affecting any of the Secured Party's rights and
remedies hereunder.

         15. Miscellaneous.

             (a) No course of dealing between the Company and the Secured Party,
nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the
Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Debentures
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

             (b) All of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with
respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Debentures or by
any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and
may be exercised singly or concurrently.

             (c) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and is intended to supersede all prior
negotiations, understandings and agreements with respect thereto. Except as
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement may be
modified or amended except by a written agreement specifically referring to this
Agreement and signed by the parties hereto.

             (d) In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless
such provision is narrowed by judicial construction, this Agreement shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable


                                      -11-
<PAGE>

provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this
Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to
the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining portion of such provision or the other provisions of
this Agreement and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision or the other provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

             (e) No waiver of any breach or default or any right under this
Agreement shall be considered valid unless in writing and signed by the party
giving such waiver, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any
subsequent breach or default or right, whether of the same or similar nature or
otherwise.

             (f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of each party hereto and its successors and assigns.

             (g) Each party shall take such further action and execute and

                              10% CONVERTIBLE NOTE

$100,000

                          Date of Issue: April 10, 2001

Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) (hereinafter referred
to as the "Company" or "Borrower") is indebted and, for value received, herewith
promises to pay to:

                                 Rudy Hallenbeck

or to his order, (together with any assignee, jointly or severally, the "Holder"
or "Lender") on the date which is six (6) months following the date of issue
(the "Original Due Date"), unless later extended by the Lender, in his sole
discretion, by Lender delivering written notice to Borrower within five (5)
business days prior to the Original Due Date of his desire to extend such
maturity, which notice shall contain the new maturity date which shall not be
more than 180 days following the Original Due Date (the "Due Date"), the sum of
One Hundred Thousand ($100,000), or, if less, so much thereof as may be
outstanding from time to time (the "Principal Amount") and to pay interest on
the Principal Amount at the rate of Ten percent (10%) per annum as provided
herein. In furtherance thereof, and in consideration of the premises, covenants,
promises, representations and warranties hereinafter set forth the Borrower
hereby agrees as follows:

1.   Interest. Interest on the Principal Amount outstanding from time to time
     shall accrue at the rate of 10% per annum, shall be based on a year of 360
     days and shall be payable on the Original Due Date, or if Lender extends
     such date, the Due Date. Overdue principal and interest on the Note shall,
     to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at the rate of 10%
     per annum. All payments of both principal and interest, shall be made at
     the address of the Holder hereof as it appears in the books and records of
     the Borrower, or at such other place as may be designated by the Holder
     hereof. Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in lawful
     money of the United States.

2.   Maturity. If not converted by the Holder as hereinafter set forth, this
     Note shall mature on the Original Due Date or if Lender extends such Date,
     the Due Date at which time all then remaining unpaid principal, interest
     and any other charges then due hereunder shall be due and payable in full.

3.   Prepayment. The principal amount hereof, together with interest thereon,
     may be prepaid, in whole or in part, prior to the scheduled maturity of
     this Note without premium or penalty. The Holder's conversion rights under
     paragraph 4 shall be extinguished if and to the extent that the Note is
     paid before the Holder gives its "Conversion Notice," as the term is
     defined in paragraph 4.

<PAGE>

4.   Conversion Right. The Holder of this Note shall have the right at Holder's
     sole option, at any time after the date which is thirty (30) days prior to
     the Original Due Date, or at any time during any extension of maturity
     provided by Lender in accordance with the first paragraph of this Note, to
     convert all or, in multiples of $5,000, any part of this Note into such
     number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, $.001 par
     value, of the Company (the "Common Stock") as shall be provided herein. The
     Holder may exercise the conversion right by giving written notice (the
     "Conversion Notice") to Borrower of the exercise of such right and stating
     the name or names in which the stock certificate or stock certificates for
     the shares of Common Stock are to be issued and the address to which such
     certificates shall be delivered. The Conversion Notice shall be accompanied
     by a duly executed assignment of the portion of the Note that Holder
     desires to convert. The number of shares of Common Stock that shall be
     issuable upon conversion of the Note or any portion thereof shall equal the
     face amount of the Note or portion thereof divided by the Conversion Price
     as defined below and in effect on the date the Conversion Notice is given.
     Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date the Conversion
     Notice is given (the "Conversion Date"). Within ten (10) business days
     after receipt of the Conversion Notice, Borrower shall issue and deliver by
     hand against a signed receipt therefor or by United States registered mail
     return receipt requested, to the address designated in the Conversion
     Notice, a stock certificate or stock certificates of Borrower representing
     the number of shares of Common Stock to which Holder is entitled and (if
     applicable) a check or cash in payment of all interest accrued and unpaid
     on the Note up to and including the Conversion Date unless Holder elects to
     apply such interest to the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 4(c)
     below. The conversion rights will be governed by the following provisions:

     (a) Conversion Price: On the issue date hereof and until such time as an
         adjustment shall occur, the Conversion Price per share shall be an
         amount equal to 50% of the mean average price of the common stock of
         the Borrower for the ten (10) trading days prior to notice of
         conversion per share; provided, however, that the Conversion Price
         shall be subject to adjustment at the times, and in accordance with the
         provisions, as follows:

         i)   Adjustment of Issuance of Shares at less than the Conversion
              Price: If and whenever any shares of Additional Common Stock (as
              defined below) shall be issued by the Company (the "Stock Issue
              Date") for a consideration per share less than the Conversion
              Price, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be
              reduced to a new Conversion Price in amount equal to the
              consideration per share received by the Company for the shares of
              Additional Common Stock then issued; and, in the case of shares
              issued without consideration, the initial Conversion Price shall
              be reduced in amount and the number of shares issued upon
              conversion shall be increased in an amount so as to maintain for
              the Holder the right to convert the Note into shares equal in
              amount to the same percentage interest in the Common Stock of the
              Company as existed for the Holder immediately preceding the Stock
              Issue Date.

         ii)  Sale of Shares: In the event of the issuance of shares of
              Additional Common Stock for a consideration part or all of which
              shall be cash, the amount of the cash consideration therefor shall
              be deemed to be the amount of the cash received by the Company for
              such shares, after any compensation or discount in the sale,
              underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or
              others performing similar services or for any expenses incurred in
              connection therewith.

         iii) Reclassification of Shares: In case of the reclassification of
              securities into shares of Common Stock, the shares of Common Stock
              issued in such reclassification shall be deemed to have been
              issued for a consideration other than cash. Shares of Additional
              Common Stock issued by way of dividend or other distribution on
              any class of stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been
              issued without consideration.

<PAGE>

         iv)  Split-up or Combination of Shares: In the event issued and
              outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or split up
              into a greater number of shares of the Common Stock, the
              Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the
              event issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
              combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the
              Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased, such increase
              or decrease, as the case may be, becoming effective at the time of
              record of the split-up or combination, as the case may be.

         v)   Additional Common Stock: The term "Additional Common Stock" herein
              shall mean all shares of Common Stock hereafter issued by the
              Company (including Common Stock held in the treasury of the
              Company), except Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any
              portion of the Note.

     (b) Adjustment for Mergers, Consolidations, Etc.:

         i)   In the event of distribution to all Common Stock holders of any
              stock, indebtedness of the Company or assets (excluding cash
              dividends or distributions from retained earnings) or other rights
              to purchase securities or assets, then, after such event, the Note
              will be convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash
              and other property which the Holder of the Note would have been
              entitled to receive if the Holder owned the Common Stock issuable
              upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to the occurrence of
              such event.

         ii)  In the event of any capital reorganization, reclassification of
              the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or as a
              result of a stock dividend, subdivision, split up or combination
              of shares), or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
              another person or entity (other than a consolidation or merger in
              which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not
              result in any change in the Common Stock) or of the sale,
              exchange, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or
              substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company as
              an entirety or the participation by the Company in an exchange of
              shares as the corporation the stock of which is to be acquired,
              this Note shall be convertible into the kind and number of shares
              of stock or other securities or property of the Company (or of the
              corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such
              merger or to which such properties and assets shall have been
              sold, exchanged, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed, or
              which was the corporation whose securities were exchanged for
              those of the Company), to which the Holder of the Note would have
              been entitled to receive if the Holder owned the Common Stock
              issuable upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to the
              occurrence of such event. The provisions of the foregoing
              sentences of this Section 4(b)(ii) shall similarly apply to
              successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations,
              mergers, sales, exchanges, leases, transfers or other dispositions
              or other share exchanges.

<PAGE>


         iii) Notice of Adjustment: (A) In the event the Company shall propose
              to take any action which shall result in an adjustment in the
              Conversion Price, the Company shall give notice to the Holder,
              which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect
              to such action and the date on which such action is to take place.
              Such notice shall be given on or before the earlier of thirty (30)
              days before the record date or the date which such action shall be
              taken. Such notice shall also set forth all facts material to the
              effect of such action on the Conversion Price and the number, kind
              or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be
              deliverable or purchasable upon the occurrence of such action or
              deliverable upon conversion of this Note. (B) Following completion
              of an event wherein the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, the
              Company shall furnish to the Holder a statement, signed by the
              Chief Executive Officer of the Company, of the facts creating such
              adjustment and specifying the resultant adjusted Conversion Price
              then in effect.

     (c) The Holder may, at his sole option, apply any accrued interest and/or
         principal outstanding on the Conversion Date towards the Conversion
         Price.

5.   Reservation of Shares. Borrower warrants and agrees that it shall at all
     times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, sufficient
     authorized and unissued, or of treasury, shares of Common Stock to effect
     conversion of this Note upon the terms and conditions contained herein.

6.   Registration Rights. The Borrower has filed a Registration Statement on
     Form SB-2 under the United States Security Act of 1933 and has included
     this Convertible Note and the underlying common stock thereunder from
     transfer by the Holder except if and unless the shares are duly registered
     for sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, or the
     transfer is duly exempt from registration.

7.   Taxes. The Borrower shall pay any documentary or other transactional taxes
     attributable to the issuance or delivery of this Note or the shares of
     Common Stock issued upon conversion by the Holder (excluding any federal,
     state or local income taxes and any franchise taxes or taxes imposed upon
     the Holder by the jurisdiction, or any political subdivision thereof, under
     which such Holder is organized or is qualified to do business).

         i)   declare the unpaid Principal Amount of, and all interest then
              accrued but unpaid on, the Note and any other liabilities

         rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later
         exercise by the Holder of any or all such other rights, powers or
         remedies.

         any provided therefor, Borrower agrees to pay and shall pay all costs
         and expenses (including Lender's attorney's fees and expenses)
         reasonably incurred by Lender in connection with the preservation and
         enforcement of Lender's rights under the Note.

9.   Failure to Act and Waiver. No failure or delay by the Holder to require the
     performance of any term or terms of this Note or nor to exercise any right,
     or any remedy shall constitute a waiver of any such term or of any right or
     of any default, nor shall such delay or failure preclude the Holder from
     exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or times. By
     accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Note,
     the Holder shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require payment
     when due of all other amounts payable, or to later declare a default for
     failure to effect such payment of any such other amount. The failure of the
     Holder of this Note to give notice of any failure or breach of the Borrower
     under the Note shall not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy in
     respect of such continuing failure or breach or any subsequent failure or
     breach.
