WHEREAS, the Buyer wishes to purchase, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, shares of the common stock, $.01 par value per

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE; PURCHASE PRICE.
a. Purchase. Subject to Section 1(a), upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the undersigned hereby agrees to
purchase from the Company shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock for ninety
cents ($.90) per share, for an aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase
Price") of $ . The Purchase Price for the Shares shall be payable in
United States Dollars.
b. Form of Payment. In consideration of the issuance and sale of the
Shares and the Warrants (as hereinafter defined) by the Company to the Buyer,
the Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price by delivering immediately available
good funds in United States Dollars pursuant to the wire instructions set
forth in Section 1(c). Immediately upon payment by the Buyer to the Company
of the Purchase Price of the Shares, the Company shall deliver certificates
evidencing such Shares duly executed on behalf of the Company and
countersigned by the Company's transfer agent to the Buyer, together with
warrant certificates, the form of which is attached hereto as ANNEX I hereto,
evidencing the Warrants (the "Warrants"), duly executed on behalf of the
Company, and the Shares and Warrants shall each be free and clear of all
security interests, liens, pledges, charges, escrows, options, rights of
first refusal, encumbrances, agreements, arrangements, commitments or other
claims of any kind or character (collectively, the "Claims"). The obligation
of the parties hereto as set forth in this Section 1(b) are subject to the
satisfaction
of the conditions set forth (i) in the case of the Buyer, in Section 7(c) and
(ii) in the case of the Company, in Section 6(d), each of which may not be
waived by either party hereto.
c. Method of Payment. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made by
wire transfer of funds to the Company in accordance with the following
instructions:
FLEET BANK OF MA
Account Name MEDIALOGIC, INC.
Account No. 050-0759123 Bank ABA #011500010
SWIFT address: FLTBUS3B Bank Phone # 800/841-4000
d. Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement (except as expressly
defined in Section 3(t) solely for purposes of Section 3(t)), "Affiliate"
shall mean such as is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
e. Most-Favored Treatment. In the event that, under any Stock Purchase
Agreement substantially similar hereto between the Company and a co-investor,
there are provided any terms and conditions more favorable to such
co-investor than are provided to the Buyer hereunder, this Agreement shall be
deemed amended by the incorporation by reference of such more favorable
provisions so as to convey the benefit thereof on the Buyer.
f. American Stock Exchange Rule. Buyer acknowledges that the offering to
which this Agreement relates is subject to a rule of the American Stock
Exchange which requires that, for any issuance which would constitute greater
than 20% of the Company's shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
preceding the issuance, prior stockholder approval is required and that
obtaining such approval would be infeasible in the Company's circumstances.
Accordingly, in the event that the Company obtains commitments from investors
to purchase shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common
Stock which, if accepted, would cause such limit to be exceeded, in the
absence of a waiver by the American Stock Exchange of its rule, the Company
may reject, in whole or in part, any such commitment to purchase shares of
Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock and accept any
part thereof not so rejected. As a consequence, the Company may, in its
complete discretion, decline to sell to the Buyer all or any part of the
shares of Common Stock and Warrants which the Buyer has agreed hereunder to
purchase. If the Company agrees to accept part but not all of the Buyer's
commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock and Warrants hereunder, the
Company may do so, in its complete discretion, and shall not be required to
prorate such acceptance on the same percentage basis that it is accepting, in
whole or in part, any other investor's commitment to purchase shares of
Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock.

the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnified Party"), the
Indemnified Party shall notify in writing promptly the Indemnifying Party of

18. REGISTRATION OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES.
(a) Shelf Registration.
(i) The Company shall (x) within sixty (60) days of the Closing
Date file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Shelf
Registration Statement (as defined below) relating to the offer and sale of
(a) the Shares of Common Stock (including
24
shares issuable or issued upon the exercise of any Warrants or the exercise
of any other exchange, conversion or similar right), (b) any securities
issued in respect of any such shares by way of a stock dividend or stock
split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger
or consolidation or reorganization and (c) the Warrants (collectively, the
"Registrable Securities") by the holders of Registrable Securities from time
to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such
holders and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement. "Register,"
"registered" and "registration" each refer to a registration of Registrable
Securities effected by filing with the SEC a registration statement in
compliance with the Securities Act and the declaration or ordering by the SEC
of effectiveness of such registration statement. "Shelf Registration" means a
registration effected pursuant to this Section 18. "Shelf Registration
Statement" means a shelf registration statement of the Company filed with the
SEC pursuant to the provisions of this Section 18 which covers some or all of
the Registrable Securities, as applicable, on Form S-3 under Rule 415 under
the Securities Act, or any similar rule that may be adopted by the SEC,
amendments and supplements to such registration statement, including
post-effective amendments, in each case including the prospectus contained
therein, all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference
therein; provided, however, that the registration of the Warrants pursuant to
this Section 18 is subject to the prior approval of the Company's Board of
Directors.
(ii) The Company shall use its best efforts (x) to cause such Shelf
Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as
promptly as practicable but in no event more than one hundred twenty (120)
days after the Closing Date and (y) after the effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement, promptly upon the request of the Buyer or any
permitted transferee or assignee pursuant to Section 18(h) holding any
Registrable Securities (such transferees and assignees, together with the
Buyer, are collectively referred to in this Section 18 as the "Investors"),
to take any action necessary to register the sale of any Registrable
Securities of such Investor and to identify such Investor as a selling
security holder.
(iii) If the Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable
Securities required to be filed by the Company under Section 18(a)(i) is not
declared effective by one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date
(the "Required Effective Date"), then the Company will make payments to the
Buyer in such amounts and at such times as shall be determined pursuant to
this Section 18(a)(iii). The amount to be paid by the Company to the Buyer
shall be equal to one (1) percent of the Purchase Price per calendar week (or
any pro rata portion thereof) from the Required Effective Date until the
Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and shall be
paid to the Buyer based upon the period between (x) the Required Effective
Date and the first Computation Date and (y) each Computation Date thereafter
and the immediately preceding Computation Date (the "Periodic Amount"). The
full amount of each Periodic Amount shall be paid to the Buyer in immediately
available funds within five (5) days after each Computation Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount payable by the Company pursuant to
this provision shall not be payable (x) to the extent any delay in the
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement occurs because of an act
of, or a failure to act or to act timely by, the Buyer or its counsel in
connection with any act for which the
25
Buyer and its counsel have had adequate and sufficient notice, or (y) in the
event all of the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Section (k)
of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1993 Act. As used in this Section,
"Computation Date" means the date which is thirty (30) days after the
Required Effective Date, and, if the Shelf Registration Statement required to
be filed by the Company pursuant to this Section is not then effective,
thirty (30) days after the previous Computation Date (pro rata for any
partial period) until the Shelf Registration Statement is so declared
effective by the SEC.
(b) Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration
Statement, the Company shall do each of the following:
(i) prepare promptly, and file with the SEC by sixty (60) days
after the Closing Date, a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the
Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the
prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by the Investors for a period
(the "Registration Period") equal to the earliest of (1) five years from the
effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement, (2) the date when each
Investor may sell all Registrable Securities held by such Investor pursuant
to Section (k) of Rule 144 and (3) the date the Investors no longer owns any
Registrable Securities, which Shelf Registration Statement (including any
amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading;
(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Shelf Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary
to keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective and current during the
entire Registration Period and, at all times during the Registration Period,
to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
Statement, including such amendments and supplements as may be necessary,
until all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance
with the intended method of disposition from time to time by prospective
seller or sellers of such Registrable Securities as set forth in the Shelf
Registration Statement;
(iii) furnish to each selling Investor, and its legal counsel
identified to the Company, (1) promptly after the same is prepared and
publicly distributed, filed with the SEC or received by the Company, one copy
of the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each
prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, (2) each letter written
by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC and each
item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC relating to such
Shelf Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which
contains information for which the Company has sought confidential
treatment), and (y) such number of copies of a prospectus in
26
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other
documents, as such Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
Investor;
(iv) permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Buyer and
reasonable satisfactory to the Company to review the Shelf Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at a reasonable period
of time prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a
form to which such counsel reasonably objects in written notice to the
Company given within three (3) business days of counsel's receipt of the
Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto;
(v) use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares of
Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement under
such other securities or blue sky or other applicable laws of such
jurisdiction within the United States as each prospective seller shall
reasonably request, to enable such seller to consummate the public sale or
other disposition in such jurisdictions of the shares of Registrable
Securities owned by such seller;
(vi) as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event,
notify each holder of Registrable Securities of the happening of any event of
which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included
in the Shelf Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make statements therein in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and use its best
efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to the Shelf
Registration Statement or other appropriate filing with the SEC to correct
such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a number of copies of such
supplement or amendment to each such holder as such holder may reasonable
request;
(vii) as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event,
notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the
event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance
by the SEC of a notice of effectiveness or any stop order or other suspension
of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible
time;
(viii) use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be
listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange (or on any other national
securities exchange on which the Company's Common Stock is then listed);
(ix) provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single
entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of
the Shelf Registration Statement;
(x) cooperate with the Investors to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates for the Registrable Securities to be
offered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and enable such
certificate for the Registrable Securities to be in such denominations or
amount as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonable request; and
27
(xi) take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and
facilitate disposition by any Investor of the Registrable Securities pursuant
to the Shelf Registration Statement.
(c) Designation of Underwriter. In the case of any registration effected
pursuant to this Section 18, a majority in interest of the holders of
Registrable Securities shall have the right to designate the managing
underwriter in any underwritten offering.
(d) Cooperation by Prospective Sellers.
(i) Each prospective seller of Registrable Securities, and each
underwriter designated by each such seller, will furnish to the Company such
information as the Company may reasonably require from such seller or
underwriter in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement (and the
prospectus included therein). No holder of Registrable Securities may
participate in any offering unless such holder completes and executes all
questionnaires, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
required in connection with the offering.
(ii) Failure of a prospective seller of Registrable Securities to
furnish the information and agreements described in this Agreement shall not
affect the obligations of the Company under this Agreement to remaining
sellers to furnish such information and agreements unless, in the reasonable
opinion of counsel to the Company or the underwriters, such failure impairs
or may impair the viability of the offering or the legality of the
registration or the underlying offering.
(iii) The Investor included in the registration will not (until
further notice by the Company) effect sales thereof (or deliver a prospectus
to any purchaser) after receipt of telegraphic or written notice from the
Company to suspend sales to permit the Company to correct or update a
registration statement or prospectus. In connection with any offering each
Investor who is a prospective seller, will not use any offering document,
offering circular or other offering materials with respect to the offer or
sale of Registrable Securities, other than the prospectuses provided by the
Company and any documents incorporated by reference therein.
(e) Expenses. All expenses incurred in complying with this Section 18,
including, without limitation, all registration, qualifications and filing
fees (including all expenses incident to filing with the American Stock
Exchange), fees and expenses of complying with securities and "blue sky"
laws, printing expenses and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company
and one counsel for the Investors, and of the independent certified public
accountants shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that all
underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the Registrable
Securities covered by registrations effected pursuant to this Section 18
shall not be borne by the Company but shall be borne by the seller or sellers.
28
(f) Indemnification.
(i) In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities
under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 18 or registration or
qualification of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 18, the
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the seller of such shares, each
underwriter of such shares, if any, each broker or any other person acting on
behalf of such seller and each other person, if any, who controls any of the
foregoing persons, within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of the
foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
registration statement under which such Registrable Securities as registered
under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document
prepared or furnished by the Company incident to the registration or
qualification of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 18, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading or, with respect to any prospectus,
necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the
Securities Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities or "blue sky" laws or
any rule regulation under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or state
securities law or relating to action or inaction required of the Company in
connection with such registration or qualification under such state
securities or blue sky laws; and shall reimburse such seller, such
underwriter, broker or other person acting on behalf of such seller and each
such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably
incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be liable (i) in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
the registration statement, the preliminary prospectus or prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereof pursuant to this Section 18 in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company
through an instrument duly executed by such seller or such underwriter
specifically for use in the preparation thereof and (ii) to any broker or
other person acting on behalf of such seller to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any
representation or other statement of such broker or other person that is not
in conformity with the preliminary prospectus or prospectus.
(ii) Before Registrable Securities held by a prospective seller shall
be included in any registration pursuant to this Section 18 such prospective
seller and any underwriter acting on its behalf shall have agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set
forth in (i) above) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer
of the Company who shall sign such registration statement and any person who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect
to any untrue statement or omission from such registration statement, any
preliminary prospectus or
29
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, if such
untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly
executed by such seller or such underwriter, as the case may be, specifically
for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary
prospectus, prospectus or amendment or supplement; provided that the maximum
amount of liability in respect of such indemnification shall be limited, in
the case of each prospective seller of Registrable Securities, to an amount
equal to the net proceeds actually received by such prospective seller from
the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 18, if
pursuant to an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, the Company, the
selling shareholders and the underwriters enter into an underwriting or
purchase agreement relating to such offering which contains provisions
covering indemnification among the parties thereto in connection with such
offering, the indemnification provisions as set forth in this Section 18
shall be deemed inoperative for purposes of such offering.
(iv) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 18(f)
(the "indemnified party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "indemnifying party") promptly after such indemnified
party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought,
and shall permit the indemnifying party (at its expense) to assume the
defense of any claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that
counsel who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and shall not, without the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party, and
the indemnified party may participate in such defense, but only at such
indemnified party's expense, and provided, further, that the omission by any
indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 18(f) except to the
extent that the omission results in a failure of actual notice to the
indemnifying party and such indemnifying party is damaged solely as a result
of the failure to give notice. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any
such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified
party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which
does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant
or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation.
(g) Contribution. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying
party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make
the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would
otherwise be liable under Section 18(f) to the fullest extent permitted by
law; provided, however, that (a) no contribution shall be made under
circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification
under the fault standards set forth in Section 18; (b) no seller of
Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation; and (c) contribution by any seller of
Registrable
30
Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by
such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
(h) Reports under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the
Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or
any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit
the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable
Securities which continue to be "restricted securities" within the meaning of
Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly upon request, (i) a written
statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements
of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and
documents so filed with the SEC by the Company and (iii) such other
information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell
such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
(i) Assignment of the Registration Rights. The rights to have the Company
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be
automatically assigned by the Investors to any transferee of the Registrable
Securities only if: (a) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or
assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to
the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (b) the Company
is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished
with written notice of (i) the name and address of such transferee or
assignee and (ii) the securities with respect to which such registration
rights are being transferred or assigned, (c) immediately following such
transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws, and (d) at or before the time the Company received the
written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence the transferee or
assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the
provisions contained herein. In the event of any delay in filing or
effectiveness of the Registration Statement as a result of such assignment,
the Company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such delay, or
the payments set forth in Section 18(a) hereof.
(j) Persons deemed to be Holders of Registrable Securities. A person or
entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such
person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company
receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more
persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the
31
Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received
from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

WARRANT
TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK,
PAR VALUE $0.01 PER SHARE,
OF
MEDIA LOGIC, INC.
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT ______________________________, or such holder's
registered assigns (the "Investor"), is the owner of _______ Warrants (as
defined below), each of which entitles the registered holder thereof to
purchase from MEDIA LOGIC, INC., a Massachusetts corporation (the "Company"),
one fully paid, duly authorized and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), at any time or
from time to time on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April __,
2003, at an exercise price of $1.50 [$3.00] per share (the "Exercise Price"),
all on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such
Warrant (the "Number Issuable"), which is initially one (1) share, is subject
to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 of
this Warrant Certificate. The Warrants evidenced by this certificate are part
of a series of Warrants being issued by the Company on the
Issue Date (the "Warrants"). The execution and delivery of this Warrant
Certificate is a condition precedent to the obligations of the Investor under
the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April __, 1998, between the
Investor and the Company (the "Securities Purchase Agreement").
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings given them in Section 12 hereof.
Section 1. Exercise of Warrant. (a) The Warrants evidenced hereby may be
exercised, in whole or in part, by the registered holder hereof at any time
or from time to time on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April __,
2003, upon delivery to the Company at the principal executive office of the
Company in the United States of America, of (i) this Warrant Certificate,
(ii) a written notice, in the form annexed hereto and entitled "Election To
Purchase" and (iii) payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants, which shall be payable by a
certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company
(collectively, the "Warrant Exercise Documentation").
(b) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business
Days after receipt of the Warrant Exercise Documentation, the Company shall
deliver or cause to be delivered (a) certificates representing the number
(rounded up to the nearest full share) of validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock specified in the Warrant Exercise
Documentation, and (b) if less than the full number of Warrants evidenced
hereby are being exercised, a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates, of
like tenor, for the number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate,
less the number of Warrants then being exercised. Such exercise shall be
deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of delivery of
the Warrant Exercise Documentation so that the Person entitled to receive
shares of Common Stock upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes
as having become the record holder of such shares of Common Stock at such
time. No such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person entitled
to receive such shares as the record holder thereof while the transfer books
of the Company for the Common Stock are closed for any purpose (but not for
any period in excess of five days); but any such surrender of this Warrant
Certificate for exercise during any period while such books are so closed
shall become effective for exercise immediately upon the reopening of such
books, as if the exercise had been made on the date the Warrant Exercise
Documentation was received and for the Number Issuable of Common Stock
specified in the Warrant Exercise Documentation and at the Exercise Price.
(c) The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes
and other governmental charges (other than income taxes of the holder) that
may be imposed in respect of, the issue or delivery of any shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby. The
Company shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge
imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of any
certificate for shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the
registered holder of the Warrants evidenced hereby.
2
Section 2. Adjustments.
(a) Adjustment of Number Issuable. The Number Issuable shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) In case the Company shall at any time or from time to time after
the Issue Date:
(A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on the outstanding
shares of Common Stock in capital stock of the Company;
(B) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares; or
(C) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares;
then, and in each such case (other than a dividend or distribution
received by or set aside for the benefit of the holder pursuant to
Section 2(c) hereof), the Number Issuable in effect immediately prior
to such event shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions
shall be taken by the Company) so that the holder of any Warrant
evidenced hereby thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive the
number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company
which such holder would have owned or had been entitled to receive upon
or by reason of any of the events described above, had such Warrant
been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event. An
adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i) shall become effective
retroactively (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, to
a date immediately following the close of business on the record date
for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to
receive such dividend or distribution, or (y) in the case of any such
subdivision or combination to the close of business on the date upon
which such corporate action becomes effective.
(ii) If after the Issue Date, the Company shall at any time or from
time to time issue or sell (x) shares of Common Stock or (y) securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or any options,
warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock (other than (A)
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants, (B) shares of
Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Debentures outstanding on the
Issue Date, (C) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an employee stock
option plan, stock bonus plan or other incentive compensation plan or award,
each as approved by the Company's Board of Directors that, in the aggregate
with all other shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any such plans
(whether or not approved by the Company's Board of Directors) constitute no
more than fifteen percent (15%) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock,
and (D) shares of Common Stock issued as a result of adjustments made under
agreements related to shares described in
3
clauses (A), (B) and (C)) at a price per share that is less than the Current
Market Price per share of Common Stock then in effect as of the record date
or issue date, as the case may be, referred to in the following sentence (the
"Relevant Date") (treating the price per share of Common Stock, in the case
of the issuance of any security convertible or exchangeable or exercisable
into Common Stock as equal to (x) the sum of the price for such security
convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock plus any
additional consideration payable (without regard to any anti-dilution
adjustments) upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such security into
Common Stock divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock initially
underlying such convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security), in each
case, other than issuances or sales for which an adjustment is made pursuant
to another paragraph of this Section 2, then, and in each such case, the
Number Issuable then in effect shall be adjusted by multiplying the Number
Issuable in effect on the day immediately prior to the Relevant Date by a
fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares
of Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, outstanding on the Relevant Date,
plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued or to be issued
(or the maximum number into which such convertible or exchangeable securities
initially may convert or exchange or for which such options, warrants or
other rights initially may be exercised), and (2) the denominator of which
shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock, on a fully diluted
basis, outstanding on the Relevant Date, plus the number of shares of Common
Stock which the aggregate consideration (plus the aggregate amount of any
additional consideration initially payable upon conversion or exchange of
such convertible or exchangeable securities or exercise of such options,
warrants or other rights) for the total number of such additional shares of
Common Stock so issued (or into which such convertible or exchangeable
securities may convert or exchange or for which such options, warrants or
other rights may be exercised) would purchase at the Current Market Price per
share of Common Stock on the Relevant Date. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever such shares, securities, options, warrants or other rights are
issued, and shall become effective retroactively to a date immediately
following the close of business (x) in the case of an issuance to the
stockholders of the Company, as such, on the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such shares, securities,
options, warrants or other rights and (y) in all other cases, on the date
(the "issue date") of such issuance; provided, that if any convertible or
exchangeable securities, options, warrants, or other rights (or any portions
thereof) which shall have given rise to an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 2(a)(ii) shall have expired or terminated without the exercise
thereof and/or if by reason of the terms of such convertible or exchangeable
securities, options, warrants or other rights there shall have been an
increase or increases, with the passage of time or otherwise, in the Number
Issuable, then the Number Issuable hereunder shall be readjusted (but to no
greater extent than originally adjusted) on the basis of (A) eliminating from
the computation any additional shares of Common Stock corresponding to such
convertible or exchangeable securities, options, warrants or other rights as
shall have expired or terminated, (B) treating the additional shares of
Common Stock, if any, actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous
exercise of such convertible and exchangeable securities, options, warrants,
or other rights as having been issued for the consideration actually received
and receivable therefor and (C) treating any
4
of such convertible or exchangeable securities, options, warrants or other
rights which remain outstanding as being subject to exercise or conversion.
Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), (I) Common Stock shall include the
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company and each other class
of capital stock of the Company that does not have a preference over any
other class of capital stock of the Company as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and, in each case,
shall include any other class of capital stock of the Company into which such
stock is reclassified or reconstituted and (II) if the provisions of any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or
options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock are
amended after the date of issuance so as to reduce the applicable conversion
price, exchange price or exercise price such amendment shall be deemed to be
a new issuance of such securities.
(iii) In case the Company shall at any time or from time to time
after the Issue Date distribute to any holder of shares of its Common Stock
(including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the resulting or surviving corporation and the
Common Stock is not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of indebtedness of
the Company or another issuer, securities of the Company or another issuer or
other assets (excluding dividends or other distributions of shares of Common
Stock or other capital stock for which adjustment in the Number Issuable is
made under Section 2(a)(i) or dividends or other distributions received by or
set aside for the benefit of the holders of Common Stock pursuant to Section
2(c) below) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of
the Company (excluding those in respect of which adjustment in the Number
Issuable is made pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii)), then, and in each such case,
the Number Issuable then in effect shall be adjusted by multiplying the
Number Issuable in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution
by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price
per share on the record date referred to below and (y) the denominator of
which shall be such Current Market Price per share less the then Fair Market
Value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company,
a certified resolution with respect to which shall be mailed to the holder of
the Warrants evidenced hereby) of the portion of the cash, evidences of
indebtedness, securities or other assets so distributed or of such
subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock (but
such denominator shall in no event be zero). Such adjustment shall be made
whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
retroactively to a date immediately following the close of business on the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution.
(iv) In case the Company at any time or from time to time shall take
any action which could have a dilutive effect on the number of shares of
Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants, other than an
action described in any of Section 2(a)(i) through 2(a)(iii), inclusive, or
Section 2(b), then, the Number Issuable shall be adjusted in such manner and
at such time as the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines
to be equitable under the circumstances (such
5
determination to be evidenced in a resolution, a certified copy of which
shall be mailed to the holder of the Warrants evidenced hereby).
(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment
under this Section 2(a) need be made to the Number Issuable unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%)
of the Number Issuable then in effect. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried
forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next
subsequent adjustment, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so
carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least one
percent (1%) of such Number Issuable. Any adjustment to the Number Issuable
carried forward and not theretofore made shall be made immediately prior to
the exercise of any Warrants pursuant hereto.
(vi) The Company promptly shall deliver to each registered holder of
Warrants at least five (5) Business Days prior to effecting any transaction
which would result in an increase or decrease in the Number Issuable pursuant
to this Section 2(a) a notice thereof, together with a certificate, signed by
the Chief Executive Officer or a Vice-President and by the Treasurer or an
Assistant Treasurer or the Clerk or an Assistant Clerk of the Company,
setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the
method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased
or decreased Number Issuable then in effect following such adjustment.
(vii) Notwithstanding anything contrary contained in this Section
2(a), the Company shall be entitled to make such upward adjustments in the
Number Issuable, in addition to those otherwise required by this Section
2(a), as the Board of Directors of the Company in their discretion shall
determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision or
combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock
or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock, hereafter made by the Company to its shareholders shall not
be taxable; provided, however, that any such adjustment shall be made, as
nearly as practicable, in a manner which treats all holders of Warrants with
similar protections on an equal basis.
(b) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of
Assets. In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification or other
change of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value,
or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the resulting or
surviving person and which does not result in any reclassification or change
of outstanding Common Stock), or in case of any sale or other disposition to
another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (any
of the foregoing, a "Transaction"), the Company, or such successor or
purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to each
holder of the Warrants evidenced hereby, at least five (5) Business Days
prior to effecting any of the foregoing Transactions, a certificate that the
holder of each such Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter
to exercise such
6
Warrant into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities (of
the Company or another issuer) or property or cash receivable upon such
Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such Transaction.
Such certificate shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Section 2 and shall contain other terms identical to the terms hereof. If, in
the case of any such Transaction, the stock, other securities, cash or
property receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes stock,
securities, other property or cash of a Person other than the successor or
purchasing Persons and other than the Company, in connection with such
Transaction, then such certificate also shall be executed by such Person, and
such Person shall, in such certificate, specifically assume the obligations
of such successor or purchasing Person and acknowledge its obligations to
issue such stock, securities, other property or cash to holders of the
Warrants upon exercise thereof as provided above. The provisions of this
Section 2(b) similarly shall apply to successive Transactions.
(c) Special Distributions. If the holder so elects by sending a Special
Notice to the Company, in the event that the Company shall declare a dividend
or make any other distribution (including, without limitation, in cash, in
capital stock (which shall include, without limitation, any options, warrants
or other rights to acquire capital stock) of the Company, whether or not
pursuant to a shareholder rights plan, "poison pill" or similar arrangement)
in other securities, property or assets, to holders of Common Stock (a
"Special Distribution"), then the Board of Directors shall set aside the
amount of such dividend or distribution that any holder of Warrants would
have been entitled to receive had it exercised such Warrants prior to the
record date for such dividend or distribution. Upon the exercise of a Warrant
evidenced hereby, the holder shall be entitled to receive, such dividend or
distribution that such holder would have received had such Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or
distribution. Prior to any Special Distribution described in this Section
2(c), the Company shall as provided in Section 4 hereof notify each holder
(not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the occurrence of each Special
Distribution) of its intent to make such Special Distribution and the holder,
if it elects to have such distribution set aside the amount thereof rather
than have an adjustment to the Number Issuable as provided in Section
2(a)(i), 2(a)(ii) or 2(a)(iii), shall notify the Company by sending a Special
Notice prior to the date of any such Special Distribution.
Section 3. Redemption. The Company shall not have any right to redeem
any of the Warrants evidenced hereby.
Section 4. Notice of Certain Events. In case at any time or from time to
time the holders of the Warrants evidenced hereby are entitled to notice
pursuant to the terms of Section 2, such notice shall provide (a) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
subdivision, combination or issuance of shares of Common Stock, securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or options,
7
warrants or other rights, 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,
distribution, subdivision, combination, shares of Common Stock, securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or options,
warrants or other rights, are to be determined, (b) the issue date (as
defined in Section 2(a)(ii) hereof) or (c) the date on which such
Transaction, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become
effective.
Section 5. Certain Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees that all
shares of capital stock of the Company which may be issued upon the exercise
of the Warrants evidenced hereby will be duly authorized, validly issued and
fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available for issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, such number of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be
sufficient to permit the exercise of all outstanding Warrants, and shall take
all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common
Stock if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued
shares of Common stock to permit such reservation or to permit the exercise
of all outstanding Warrants. The Company shall prepare and file, and
cooperate with the holder of this Warrant so that it may prepare and file, in
each case within five Business Days of a request by such holder, notification
and report forms in compliance with the HSR Act, and shall otherwise fully
comply with the requirements of the HSR Act, to the extent required in
connection with the exercise of the Warrant. The Company shall bear all of
its own expenses and all of its own out of pocket expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and expenses) and filing fees of such
holder in connection with any such preparation and filing.
Section 6. Registered Holder. The person in whose name this Warrant
Certificate is registered shall be deemed the owner hereof and of the
Warrants evidenced hereby for all purposes.
Section 7. Transfer of Warrants. Any transfer of the rights represented
by this Warrant Certificate shall be effected by the surrender of this
Warrant Certificate, along with the form of assignment attached hereto,
properly completed and executed by the registered holder hereof, at the
principal executive office of the Company in the United States of America;
provided that (a) a registration statement with respect to the Warrants
proposed for transfer, and with respect to the shares of Common Stock
underlying such Warrants, shall be effective under the Securities Act, (b)
the Warrants are transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or
(c) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to it that no violation of such act or similar state acts will
be involved in such transfer. Thereupon, the Company shall issue in the name
or names specified by the registered holder hereof and, in the event of a
partial transfer, in the name of the registered holder hereof, a new Warrant
Certificate or Certificates evidencing the right to purchase such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall be equal to the number of shares of Common
Stock then purchasable hereunder.
Section 8. Denominations. The Company covenants that it will, at its
expense, promptly upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate at the principal
executive office of the Company in the United States of America, execute and
deliver to the registered holder hereof a new Warrant Certificate or
Certificates in denominations specified by such holder for an aggregate
number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate.
8
Section 9. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of

of an institutional investor, its own unsecured indemnity agreement shall be
deemed to be reasonably satisfactory), or, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor for a number of Warrants equal to the number of
Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate.

PROVISIONS).
Section 11. Rights Inure to Registered Holder. The Warrants evidenced by
this Warrant Certificate will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
registered holder thereof and the Company and their respective successors and
permitted assigns. This Warrant Certificate shall be for the sole benefit of

ANNEX IV
April __, 1998
[Name And Address
Of The Buyer]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 7(h) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April __, 1998 (the "Securities
Purchase Agreement"), by and between Media Logic, Inc., (the "Company") and
you relating to the sale and issuance by the Company of _______ shares (the
"Shares") of common stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share (the
"Common Stock") and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase _______ shares of
Common Stock of the Company. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Securities Purchase Agreement.
We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the sale
of the Shares and the Warrants and in connection with the execution and
delivery of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of April __, 1998, by
and between the Company and you. We have examined the Company's Restated
Articles of Organization and By-laws, as amended, to date, the Securities
Purchase Agreement, the Warrants, a Certificate of an Officer of the Company
dated as of the date hereof and delivered to you pursuant to Section 7(g) of
the Securities Purchase Agreement, a Certificate of the Assistant Clerk of
the Company (the "Assistant Clerk's Certificate") dated as of the date hereof
and delivered to you pursuant to Section 7(g) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, a Certificate of Good Standing of the Company issued by the
Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on April __, 1998 as
is attached to the Assistant Clerk's Certificate as Exhibit E thereto and
such records of the corporate proceedings of the Company as we have deemed
material. We have made such inquiry of the officers of the Company and have
examined such other Company records, documents, agreements and instruments of
the Company made available to us and certificates of officers of the Company
and of public officials and have examined such questions of law as we have
deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion. In rendering this opinion,
we have relied, as to all questions of fact material to this opinion, upon
certificates of public officials and officers of the Company, and
representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Securities
Purchase Agreement and any certificates required thereby. Any reference
herein to "our knowledge" or any derivation thereof shall mean knowledge of
the particular attorneys in this firm who have performed services for the
Company on behalf of this firm without any independent investigation except
as otherwise described above.
We have assumed, without independently verifying such assumptions, the
genuineness of the signatures on all of the documents examined by us, the
authenticity of all documents furnished for our
April ___, 1996
Page 2
examination as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all
documents furnished to us as copies, including documents transmitted by
telecopy.
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that you have all
requisite power and authority and have taken all necessary action to effect the
transactions mentioned above, and we have assumed that you have complied with
all applicable federal or state laws and regulations in connection with the
purchase of the Shares and the Warrants and the execution and delivery of the
Securities Purchase Agreement.
The opinions hereinafter expressed are qualified (a) to the extent that
the validity or enforceability of any agreement or instrument or of any right
granted thereunder may be subject to or affected by any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (b) by legal and
equitable limitations on the availability of specific performance as a remedy
and the discretion of the court in awarding equitable relief and (c) insofar as
indemnification or contribution for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, may be deemed to be against public policy or otherwise
limited by applicable laws. Further, our opinion with respect to the Company's
agreement to file a listing application for the Warrants with the American Stock
Exchange and to use its best efforts to register the Warrants for public
trading, as set forth in Sections 4(p) and 4(q) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, is subject to the approval of the Company's Board of Directors to so
register the Warrants, such approval which we have been informed that the
Company is seeking. We do not express any opinion with respect to the securities
or "blue sky" laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the final paragraph of this
letter, we are of the opinion that:
1. Each of the Company and the Subsidiary has been duly organized
and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Delaware, respectively. To
our knowledge, the Company and the Subsidiary are duly qualified to transact
business and are in good standing in all jurisdictions where the Company or
the Subsidiary owns or leases its respective property, maintains its
respective employees or conducts its respective business, except for
jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Company or the Subsidiary. The Company and the
Subsidiary have all requisite corporate power and authority to own their
respective properties and conduct their respective businesses as currently
conducted.
2. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"). To our knowledge, except for the Securities Purchase Agreement and
the Warrants and except as set forth on Schedule 3(c) of the Disclosure
Schedule, (i) there are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness or
securities of the Company, in any such case having the right to vote (or
convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote)
on any matters on which shareholders of the Company may vote, (ii) there are
no
April ___, 1996
Page 3
securities, options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments, agreements,
arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which the Company is a party or by
which the Company is bound obligating the Company to issue, deliver or sell, or
cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of Common Stock or
other voting securities of the Company or obligating the Company to issue,
grant, extend or enter into any such security, option, warrant, call, right,
commitment, agreement, arrangement or undertaking, and (iii) there are no
outstanding rights, commitments, agreements, arrangements, or undertakings of
any kind obligating the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any
shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company or any
securities of the type described in clauses (i) and (ii) above.
3. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section
12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
and the Company has timely filed all material required to be filed pursuant to
Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for a period of at least 12 months
preceding the date hereof.
4. When issued, executed, delivered and sold by the Company in
accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Shares and the Warrants
will have been duly and validly issued, executed and delivered, will be fully
paid and non-assessable (provided that the Warrants' exercise price shall be
payable upon exercise of the Warrants) and not subject to any purchase option or
right of first refusal or preemptive, subscription or similar rights and will
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the
Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits provided in
the Securities Purchase Agreement, except as enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting creditors' and contracting parties' rights generally and except as
enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
The Exercise Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon
Exercise of the Warrants and, when issued and delivered upon such exercise in
accordance with the Warrants, will by duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
and not subject to any purchase option or right of first refusal or preemptive,
subscription or similar rights.
5. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter
into the Securities Purchase Agreement, to sell and deliver the Shares, the
Warrants and the Exercise Shares as described in the Securities Purchase
Agreement, and to consummate the transactions that are contemplated in the
Securities Purchase Agreement. Subject to the Company's Board of Directors'
authorization of the registration of the Warrants under the Exchange and the
filing of a listing application with respect to the Warrants with the American
Stock Exchange, the Securities Purchase Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary corporate action by the Company and to our
knowledge, no approval of any governmental or other body is required for the
execution and delivery of the Agreement by the Company or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated thereby (other than the American Stock Exchange
with respect to the listing of the Shares, Exercise Shares and Warrants). The
Securities
April ___, 1996
Page 4
Purchase Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by and on
behalf of the Company and, subject to the Board of Directors' approval set
forth in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to the subject
matter thereof, is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting creditors' and contracting parties' rights generally and except as
enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law), and except as to compliance with federal, state, and foreign securities
laws, as to which no opinion is expressed.
6. To the best of our knowledge, after due inquiry, the execution,
delivery and performance of the Securities Purchase Agreement by the Company and
the performance of its obligations thereunder do not and will not constitute a
breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a
default under or conflict with or violate any provision of (i) the Company's
Restated Articles of Organization or By-laws, (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed
of trust, material agreement or other instrument to which the Company is a party
or by which is or any of its property is bound, (iii) any applicable statute or
regulation, (iv) any judgment, decree or order of any court or governmental body
having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its property, or (v) any license,
franchise, permit or other similar authorization held by the Company, except as
to defaults, violations or breaches which individually or in the aggregate would
not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
7. The issuance of the Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement
will not violate the applicable listing agreement between the Company and any
securities exchange or market on which the Company's securities are listed,
including the American Stock Exchange Listing Standards and Requirements.
8. The Company complies with the eligibility requirements for the use
of Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
9. Except as described in Schedule 3(j) of the Disclosure Schedule to
the Securities Purchase Agreement, to our knowledge, after due inquiry, there is
no pending or threatened litigation, investigation or other proceeding against
the Company or the Subsidiary which would, insofar as can reasonably be
foreseen, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on
the Company or the Subsidiary.
10. To our knowledge, except for the Subsidiary, the Company does not
have any subsidiaries or own or hold, directly or indirectly, any equity or
other security interests in any corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, joint venture or other entity. To our knowledge, there are no
restrictions on the transfer of shares of Common Stock other than those imposed
by relevant state and federal securities laws. To our knowledge, there are no
voting trusts, voting agreements, proxies or other agreements or instruments
with respect to the voting of the Common

Stock nor are there any commitments, agreements, arrangements or undertakings
of any kind relating to dividend rights or disposition of the Common Stock,
to which the Company is a party. To our knowledge, except as provided in the
Securities Purchase Agreement and as set forth in Schedule 3(c) of the
Disclosure Schedule, no Person has the right to demand or other rights to
cause the Company to file any registration statement under the Securities Act.
11. No permit, consent, approval, license or order of, authorization
of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any court or other governmental
entity is required to be obtained or made in connection with the execution,
delivery or performance of the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Warrants by
the Company or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (other
than with respect to the American Stock Exchange in connection with the listing
of the Registrable Securities and the approvals required in connection with a
registration of the Registrable Securities).
This opinion is given as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to
update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances which
may hereafter come to our attention including changes in law which may occur
hereafter. Our opinions above are limited to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, and the federal law of the United States of America and we
express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We note
that the Securities Purchase Agreement states that it is governed by the law of
the State of New York, and for purposes of the opinions set forth in paragraph 5
above, we have assumed, with your consent, that the law of the State of New York
is identical to the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Furthermore, we
express or imply no opinion with respect to compliance with anti-fraud statutes,
rules or regulations of applicable state or federal law. This letter is
furnished to you as the purchaser of the Shares and Warrants and is solely for
your benefit and may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other
purpose.
Very truly yours,

Pending Litigation
On or about January 16, 1996, Media Logic, Inc. and its subsidiary MediaLogic
ADL, Inc. (collectively, "Media Logic") commenced an action against Christian P.
Marlowe and Marlowe Engineering Company (collectively "Marlowe") seeking (a) a
declaration of the rights of Media Logic under certain technology transfer and
consulting agreements, and (b) damages for Marlowe's breach of those Agreements.
On June 5, 1996, Marlowe answered the complaint and counterclaimed, asserting
claims for breach of contract, misrepresentation, promissory estoppel, violation
of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, M.G.L.c. 93A, and
declaratory judgment. On June 11, 1996, Marlowe amended the counterclaim to
include a defamation count relating to a press release issued by Media Logic
concerning the litigation. In August 1996, Media Logic moved to dismiss the
counterclaims. The Court denied Media Logic's motion in November 1996. Currently
the parties are engaged in pre-trial discovery.
At the end of March 1998, Piessl Kitchen Vosik, the Company's former advertising
firm, commenced an action against the Company seeking approximately $35,000
claimed to be owed for the remaining term of its contract with the Company.
