Pursuant to the discussion between Aquagenix, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company") and Alexander Enterprise Holdings Corp., a British Virgin
Islands corporation (the "Undersigned"), the Undersigned is writing to advise
you of the following terms and conditions under which the Undersigned hereby
offers to subscribe (the "Offer") for the purchase of shares ("Shares") of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, in an amount to be determined
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, and Sixty Thousand (60,000) warrants
("Warrants") at an aggregate purchase price of $700,000.
1. SUBSCRIPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth in this Subscription Agreement, the Undersigned hereby offers to purchase
the Shares and Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $700,000.
If the Offer is accepted, the Shares and Warrants shall be paid for
by the delivery of $700,000 by wire transfer payable to Aquagenix, Inc.,
BankAtlantic, 1750 East Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 33304; ABA

Warrants shall be delivered
to the Undersigned immediately thereafter.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND WARRANTS.
(a) SHARES. "Shares" that the Undersigned shall receive pursuant to this
Subscription Agreement shall mean that number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock equal to $700,000 divided by the Fair Market Value (as defined herein) of
the Company's shares of Common Stock on the date of the Notice (as defined
herein). Notice to receive all or any portion of the amount of Shares shall be
determined at the option of the Undersigned any time commencing ninety (90) days
from the date hereof and ending on December 31, 1998. The Undersigned shall
deliver written notice ("Notice") to the Company via telecopy on the day of
exercising its right to receive the Shares and delivering the original Notice to
the Company by express courier within three (3) business days of exercise, which
Notice shall indicate the amount of Shares to be received pursuant to that
Notice and the calculation of the purchase price. Each such conversion shall
reduce the principle amount of the Undersigned's initial investment by the
amount stated in the Notice. The term "Fair Market Value' of the Company's
shares of Common Stock shall mean 85% of the average closing bid price of the
Company's Common Stock, as reported by the principal exchange on which the
1
Common Stock is traded, the Nasdaq National Market System or the National
Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, as the case may be, for ten consecutive trading
days immediately prior to the date of the Notice. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the maximum amount of Shares that the
Undersigned can receive pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall not exceed
19.99% of the Company's currently issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(b) WARRANTS. Each Warrant entitles the Undersigned to purchase one
share of Common Stock at $8.00 per share (the "Warrant Exercise Price")
commencing on the date hereof and continuing for a period of two years from the
date hereof. The Warrants shall be in substantially the same form as attached
hereto as Exhibit A.
