             (a)     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                     (1)      To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:

                              (i)     To include any prospectus required by
                     Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;





                                       4
<PAGE>   5

                              (ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
                     events 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;

                              (iii)    To include any material information with
                     respect to the plan of distribution not previously
                     disclosed in the registration statement or any material
                     change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
in the registration statement.

                     (2)      That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                     (3)      To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.

             (b)     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

             (c)     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant 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 Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant 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
Registrant 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

                                PHOTOCOMM, INC.

                    NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN


         Purposes of the Plan.  The purposes of this Plan are to attract and
retain the best available individuals to serve as non- employee members of the
Board of Directors of the Company, to reward such directors for their
contributions to the profitable growth of the Company, and to maximize the
identity of interest between such directors and stockholders generally.

         1.      Definitions.  As used herein, the following definitions shall
apply:

                 (a)      "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the
         Company.

                 (b)      "Company" shall mean PHOTOCOMM, INC., an Arizona
         corporation.

                 (c)      "Effective Date" shall be the date that the Board of
         Directors of the Company adopts this Plan.

                 (d)      "Eligible Director" shall mean (i) those individuals
         who are serving as non-employee members of the Board on the Effective
         Date, or (ii) those individuals who are elected or appointed as
         non-employee members of the Board after the Effective Date, whether
         through appointment by the Board or election of the Company's
         stockholders.

                 (e)      "Exercise Price" shall mean, with respect to Shares
         of Optioned Stock, the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of
         grant of the Option.

                 (f)      "Fair Market Value" shall mean, with respect to the
         date a given Option is granted or exercised, the value of the Common
         Stock determined by the Board in such manner as it may deem equitable
         for Plan purposes; provided, however, that where there is a public
         market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value per Share shall be
         the mean of the bid and asked prices of the Common Stock on the date
         of grant, as reported in the Wall Street Journal  (or, if not
         reported, as otherwise reported by the National Association of
         Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System) or, in the event the
         Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the American
         Stock exchange, the Fair Market Value per Share shall be the closing
         price on such exchange on the date of grant of the Option, as reported
         in the Wall Street Journal.

                 (g)      "Option" shall mean a right to purchase Stock,
         granted pursuant to the Plan.

                 (n)      "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which the Fair
         Market Value of the Stock can be determined.

         2.      Common Stock Subject to the Plan.  Subject to increases and
adjustments pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, the number of Shares reserved
and available for distribution under the Plan shall be one hundred thousand
(100,000).  If an Option shall expire or become unexercisable for any reason
without having been exercised in full, the unauthorized Shares covered by the
Option shall, unless the Plan shall have terminated, be available for future
grants of Options.

         3.      Option Grants.

                 (a)      On the Effective Date, each Eligible Director shall
         be granted an Option to purchase 10,000 shares of Stock.

                 (b)      Each individual who first becomes an Eligible
         Director after the Effective Date, whether through election by the
         stockholders or appointment of the Board, shall automatically be
         granted at the time of such initial election or appointment, an Option
         to purchase 10,000 shares of Stock.

                 (c)      On December 1 of each year (the "Annual Grant Date"),
         beginning with December 1, 1996, each individual who is at that time
         an Eligible Director shall automatically be granted an Option under
         the Plan to purchase an additional 3,000 shares of Stock; provided
         such individual (i) has attended 75% of the meetings of the Board held
         during the 12-month period immediately preceding the Annual Grant
         Date, or (ii) if such individual was appointed or elected as a
         director during such 12-month period, he or she has attended 75% of
         the meetings of the Board held during his of her term as a director,
         and (iii) has

<PAGE>   3
         attended 75% of the meetings of any Committee of the Board to which
         such individual has been appointed as a member during such 12-month
         period.

                 (d)      The purchase price of Shares subject to an Option
         shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

                 (e)      Each Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall vest
         and become exercisable according to the following schedule, provided
         that the Optionee remains an Eligible Director at such vesting date:

</TABLE>
         4.      Stockholder Approval.  This Plan was adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Company on December 4, 1995 (the "Effective Date").  Options
may be granted under the Plan on and after the Effective Date.  The Plan shall
be submitted for stockholder approval at the next annual or special meeting of
stockholders.  However, the failure to obtain such approval shall not affect
the effectiveness of the Plan.  No Option may be granted after the expiration
of ten (10) years from the effective date of the Plan; provided, however, that
the Plan and all outstanding Options shall remain in effect until such Options
shall have been exercised, shall have expired or shall otherwise be terminated.

         5.      Term; Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.

                 (a)      The term of each Option shall be ten (10) years from
         the date of grant thereof.  To the extent vested the Option may be
         exercised in whole or in part at any time and during the term of the
         Option.  No fractional Shares will be issued upon exercise of the
         Option and, if the exercise results in a fractional interest, an
         amount will be paid in cash equal to the value of such fractional
         interest based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of
         exercise.

                 (b)      An Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon
         receipt by the Company from the Optionee of written notice of such
         exercise.  Such notice shall be accompanied by full payment for the
         Shares subject to such exercise.

         6.      Payment.  The Exercise Price shall be paid:

                 (a)      In United States dollars in cash or by check payable
         to the order of the Company; or





                                       3
<PAGE>   4
                 (b)      Subject to the approval of the Board, by delivery of
         Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise
         Price; or

                 (c)      By any combination of (a) and (b) above.

                 The Board shall determine acceptable methods for tendering
Stock as payment upon exercise of an Option and may impose such limitations and
prohibitions on the use of Stock to exercise an Option as it deems appropriate.

         7.      Transferability of Options.  The Option may not be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the limited
extent provided herein or pursuant to a "qualified domestic relations order" as
defined by the Internal Revenue Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act or the rules thereunder.  Except as permitted herein, an Option may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee or by his
guardian or legal representative.

                 In the event of the Optionee's death, his or her Option shall
be exercisable, prior to the expiration of the Option, by the person or persons
to whom his or her accrued and vested rights pass by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution.

         8.      Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Merger.  Subject
to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares
covered by each outstanding Option, and the number of Shares which have been
authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been
granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration
of an Option, as well as the price per Share covered by each such outstanding
Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split,
consolidation, subdivision, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of
the Shares, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however,
that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be
deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration."  Such
adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein,
no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment
by reason thereof shall be made, with respect to the number or price of Shares
subject to an Option.

                 In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, all Options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of
such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board.  The Board may,
in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any
Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each holder the
right to exercise the Option as to all or any part thereof, including Shares as
to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable.  In the event of a
proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the
merger of the Company with or into another corporation,





                                       4
<PAGE>   5
the Option shall be assumed or an equivalent Option shall be substituted by
such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor
corporation, unless the Board determines, in the exercise of its sole
discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, that the holder
shall have the right to exercise the Option as to all of the Shares, including
Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable.  If the Board
makes an Option exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event
of a merger or sale of assets, the Board shall notify the holder that the
Option shall be fully exercisable for a period of 30 days from the date of such
notice (but not later than the expiration of the term of the Option), and the
Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

         9.      Amendment and Termination of the Plan.  The Board may amend
the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable or
terminate the Plan; provided, however, that amendments to the Plan relating to
the amount, price or timing of Option grants shall not be made more than once
in any six month period, other than amendments necessary to comply with changes
in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or
the rules thereunder.  Any amendment or termination of the Plan shall not
affect Options already granted and such Options shall remain in full force and
effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated.

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, revisions or amendments that
accomplish any of the following shall require approval of the stockholders of
the Company, to the extent required by law, rule or regulation:

                 (a)      Materially increase the benefits accruing to
         participants under the Plan;

                 (b)      Materially increase the number of Shares which may be
         issued under the Plan;

                 (c)      Materially modify the Plan as to eligibility for
         participation in the Plan; or

                 (d)      Otherwise cause the Plan to lose its exemption under
         Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
         the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

         10.     Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be
issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option
and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with
all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock
exchange or market system upon which the Shares may be listed, and shall be
further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
                 As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may
require the Optionee to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise
that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present
intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for
the Company, such a representation is required or advisable.

                 Inability of the Company to obtain authority from a regulatory
body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to
be necessary or advisable to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares
hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure
to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not
have been obtained.

         11.     Termination of Option.

                 (a)      Termination as a Director.  If an Optionee ceases to
         be a director, unless such cessation occurs due to death or
         disability, then the Option shall terminate on the date thirty days
         after the date the Optionee ceases to be a director.

                 (b)      Disability.  Unless otherwise provided in the Stock
         Option Agreement, in the event an Optionee is unable to continue to be
         a member of the Board as a result of his permanent and total
         disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue
         Code of 1986, as amended), he may exercise the Option at any time
         within twelve (12) months following the date he ceased to be a
         director, but only to the extent he was entitled to exercise it on the
         date he ceased to be a director.  To the extent that he was not
         entitled to exercise the Option on the date he ceased to be a
         director, or if he does not exercise such Option (which he was
         entitled to exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option
         shall terminate.

                 (c)      Death.  Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option
         Agreement, if an Optionee dies during the term of the Option, the
         Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months
         following the date of death, but only to the extent that an Optionee
         was entitled to exercise the Option on the date of death.  To the
         extent that decedent was not entitled to exercise the Option on the
         date of death, or if the Optionee's estate, or person who acquired the
         right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, does not
         exercise such Option (which he was entitled to exercise) within the
         time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

         12.     Option Agreement.  Options shall be evidenced by Stock Option
Agreements in such form as the Board shall approve.

         13.     Miscellaneous Provisions.

                 (a)      Plan Expense.  Any expenses of administering this
         Plan shall be borne by the Company.

                 (b)      Construction of Plan.  The validity, construction,
         interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan and of its rules
         and regulations, and rights relating to the Plan, shall be determined
         by the Board in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona.

                 (c)      Taxes.  The Company shall be entitled if necessary or
         desirable to pay or withhold the amount of any tax attributable to the
         delivery of Common Shares under the Plan after giving the person
         entitled to receive such Shares notice as far in advance as practical,
         and the Company may defer making delivery of such Shares if any such
         tax may be pending unless and until indemnified to its satisfaction.

                 (d)      Gender.  For purposes of this Plan, words used in the
         masculine gender shall include the female and neuter, and the singular
         shall include the plural and vice versa, as appropriate.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Photocomm, Inc., an Arizona corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") filed under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to
the registration of 100,000 shares of its Common Stock, $.01 par value (the
"Shares"), issuable pursuant to the Company's Non-Employee Directors Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan").

In that connection, we have examined such documents, corporate records and
other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of
this opinion, including the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and the
Bylaws of the Company.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.       The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
corporation under the laws of the State of Arizona.

2.       The Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms of the
Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
