Item 1.    Security and Issuer.

           This statement relates to the common stock, par value $.001 per share
           ("Common  Stock"),   of  iMall,   Inc.,  a  Nevada  corporation  (the
           "Company").  The address of the Company's  principal executive office
           is 4400 Coldwater Canyon Blvd., Suite 200, Studio City, CA 91604.

           The shares of Common Stock that are the subject of this statement are
           issuable  (i) upon  exercise of  warrants  (the  "Agent's  Warrants")
           issued to Commonwealth to purchase 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
           subject to adjustment in certain  instances,  at an exercise price of
           $.40 per  share,  and  (ii)  upon  conversion  of the  shares  of the
           Company's  Series A Convertible  Preferred stock, par value $.001 per
           share (the  "Series A Preferred  Stock"),  initially  at a conversion
           rate of ten  shares  of  Common  Stock  for each  share  of  Series A
           Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment in certain instances.

Item 2.    Identity and Background.

           This   statement  is  filed   jointly  by   Commonwealth   Associates
           ("Commonwealth"),  a limited partnership  organized under the laws of
           New York, whose principal business is investment banking and advisory
           services,  Commonwealth  Management Co., Inc., the corporate  general
           partner of Commonwealth (the "General Partner"),  and Michael S. Falk
           (the  "Reporting  Persons").  Mr Falk is the Chairman and controlling
           equity  owner  of the  General  Partner.  The  business  address  for
           Commonwealth,  the General  Partner and Mr. Falk is 830 Third Avenue,
           4th Floor, New York, New York 10022. During the past five years, none
           of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal  proceeding
           or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative
           body of competent  jurisdiction  and as a result of such  proceeding,
           was or is  subject to a  judgment,  decree or final  order  enjoining
           future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating  activities subject
           to,  federal or state  securities  laws or finding any violation with
           respect to such laws.

Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

           Commonwealth acquired the Agent's Warrants on December 5 and December
           19, 1997 for a purchase price of $40 with funds provided from working
           capital pursuant to an Agency Agreement dated as of November 26, 1997
           with the  Company  (the  "Agency  Agreement")  filed as  Exhibit  (1)
           hereto,  pursuant to which  Commonwealth  acted as placement agent in
           connection  with a private  placement  (the "Private  Placement")  of
           Units (the "Units"),  each Unit consisting of 25,000 shares of Series
           A Preferred  Stock and 62,500  warrants (the  "Warrants") to purchase
           the Company's  Common Stock. In no case were any funds borrowed.  The
           Warrants are  exercisable  at $.40 per share for a period  commencing
           December  5, 1998 and  expiring  on  December  5, 2002.  The  Agent's
           Warrants  are  exercisable  at any time during the  five-year  period
           commencing  December 19, 1997 and  terminating on December 5, 2002 at
           an exercise price of $.40 per share. Further, the

                                                              Page 6 of 74 Pages

           Agent's Warrants are convertible, at the option of Commonwealth, into
           an equal number of warrants with identical terms as the Warrants.

           Mr. Falk acquired  37,500  Shares of Series A Preferred  Stock in the
           Private  Placement,  initially  convertible  into  375,000  shares of
           Common  Stock,  for a purchase  price of  $150,000,  which amount was
           provided from Mr. Falk's personal funds.  The Falk Family  Foundation
           (the  "Trust"),  a  charitable  trust for which  Mr.  Falk  serves as
           trustee,  acquired  12,500 Shares of Series A Preferred  Stock in the
           Private  Placement,  initially  convertible  into  125,000  shares of
           Common  Stock,  for a purchase  price of  $50,000,  which  amount was
           provided from Mr. Falk's personal  funds.  Mr. Falk and the Trust are
           herein  referred to collectively as "Falk." In no case were any funds
           borrowed.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

           The Agent's  Warrants were acquired by  Commonwealth  as compensation
           for its services in connection with the Private  Placement solely for
           investment  purposes and not for the purpose of acquiring  control of
           the  Company.  The Series A Preferred  Stock was  acquired by Falk to
           make a profitable investment.

           The text of Item 5 of the Company's  Current Report on Form 8-K filed
           on December  12, 1997 is hereby  incorporated  herein by reference to
           describe  the  transaction  pursuant  to which the Series A Preferred
           Stock, Warrants and Agent's Warrants were issued by the Company.

           Other than as set forth above, the Reporting  Persons have no present
           plans or  proposals  which  relate to, or could result in, any of the
           matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item
           4 of Schedule  13D. The  Reporting  Persons may, at any time and from
           time to time, review or reconsider their position and formulate plans
           or proposals with respect thereto,  but have no present  intention of
           doing so.

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

           (a)    Commonwealth is the beneficial  owner of a total of 12,000,000
                  shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 9.7% of the
                  issued and outstanding  shares of Common Stock of the Company.
                  The General Partner is the beneficial owner of  Commonwealth's
                  12,000,000  shares of Common Stock. Mr. Falk is the beneficial
                  owner of an aggregate of  12,500,000  shares of Common  Stock,
                  consisting of 500,000  shares of Common Stock which he and the
                  Trust have the right to acquire at any time upon conversion of
                  the  shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock held by Falk and the
                  12,000,000  shares  of  Common  Stock  beneficially  owned  by
                  Commonwealth,  representing  approximately 10.1% of the issued
                  and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.  In his
                  capacity  as  Chairman  and  controlling  equity  owner of the
                  General Partner,  Mr. Falk shares voting and dispositive power
                  with  respect  to  the   securities   beneficially   owned  by
                  Commonwealth  and may be deemed to be the beneficial  owner of
                  such securities. The shares beneficially owned by Mr. Falk do

                  not include  shares of Common Stock  issuable upon exercise of
                  93,750  Warrants issued to him in connection with his purchase
                  of Units in the  Private  Placement,  which  Warrants  are not
                  exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof.

                  The  percentages of outstanding  shares of Common Stock of the
                  Company set forth in the preceding paragraph is computed based
                  on a total of 111,742,239  shares of Common Stock  outstanding
                  as of December 30,  1997,  which  figure  includes  50,000,000
                  shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock.  Holders of the Series A
                  Preferred Stock vote together with holders of the Common Stock
                  on the basis of one vote for each  share of Common  Stock into
                  which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible  (currently,
                  a  one-for-one  basis).  If the  shares of Series A  Preferred
                  Stock   are   excluded   from   Common   Stock    outstanding,
                  Commonwealth,   the   General   Partner  and  Mr.  Falk  would
                  beneficially  own  approximately   16.3%,   16.3%  and  16.8%,
                  respectively,  of the issued and outstanding  shares of Common
                  Stock of the Company.

           (b) Number of shares as to which each such person has:

                  (i)   sole power to vote or to direct the vote:

                        Mr.  Falk has the sole  power to vote or to  direct  the
                        vote of the 375,000  shares owned by him and the 125,000
                        shares owned by the Trust.

                  (ii)  shared power to vote or to direct the vote:

                        On December  30, 1997,  Commonwealth  granted to Richard

                        irrevocable  proxy  (the  "Proxy")  filed as  Exhibit  3
                        hereto to vote the  12,000,000  shares  of Common  Stock
                        issuable  upon  exercise of the Agent's  Warrants  for a
                        period   of   one   year   and,   accordingly,   neither
                        Commonwealth,  the  General  Partner or Mr. Falk has the
                        power  to  vote or to  direct  the  vote of such  shares
                        during the term of the Proxy.

                  (iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:

                        the  disposition  of the 375,000  shares of Common Stock
                        beneficially   owned  by  him  and  the  125,000  shares
                        beneficially owned by the Trust.

                  (iv)  shared power to dispose of or to direct the  disposition
                        of:

                        power to dispose or direct the disposition of all of the
                        12,000,000 shares of Common Stock  beneficially owned by

Gentlemen:

     iMALL,  INC. a Nevada  corporation (the  "Company"),  proposes to offer for
sale  to  "accredited  investors",  in a  private  placement,  up to  200  units
("Units"),  each Unit  consisting of 25,000  shares  ("Shares") of the Company's
Series A 9% Convertible  Preferred Stock  ("Preferred  Stock") and 62,500 common
stock  purchase  warrants  ("Warrants").  Such offering and sale are referred to
herein as the "Offering." Each Warrant will be exercisable  during the four-year
period  commencing  one year after the initial  closing to purchase one share of
the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise
price of $.40 per  share.  A  minimum  of 50 Units  ("Minimum  Offering")  and a

$100,000  per Unit.  The  Units  will be  offered  pursuant  to those  terms and

(the  "Memorandum").  Of the  Units,  50 will be  offered  on a "best  efforts -
all-or-none"  basis and the  remaining  150  Units  will be  offered  on a "best
efforts"  basis.  The Units are being  offered  pursuant to the  Memorandum  and

     2.  Representations  and Warranties of the Company.  The Company represents
and  warrants  to the  Placement  Agent and each  Selected  Dealer,  if any,  as
follows:

          (a) Securities Law Compliance.  The Offering  Documents conform in all
     respects with the  requirements  of Section 4(2) of the  Securities Act and
     Regulation D promulgated  thereunder and with the requirements of all other
     published rules and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
     (the "Commission")  currently in effect relating to "private  offerings" to
     "accredited  investors"  of  the  type  contemplated  by the  Company.  The
     Offering  Documents will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact
     or omit  to  state  any  material  fact  necessary  in  order  to make  the
     statements  therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
     not  misleading.  If at any time prior to the completion of the Offering or
     other  termination  of this  Agreement any event shall occur as a result of
     which it  might  become  necessary  to amend  or  supplement  the  Offering
     Documents so that they do not include any untrue  statement of any material
     fact or omit to state  any  material  fact  necessary  in order to make the
     statements  therein,  in the light of the circumstances then existing,  not
     misleading,  the Company will promptly  notify you and will supply you with
     amendments  or  supplements  correcting  such  statement or  omission.  The
     Company will also provide the Placement  Agent for delivery to all offerees
     and  purchasers  and  their  representatives,   if  any,  any  information,
     documents  and  instruments  which the Placement  Agent deems  necessary to
     comply with applicable state and federal law.

          (b) Organization. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
     existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has
     all  requisite   corporate  power  and  authority  to  own  and  lease  its
     properties, to carry on its business as currently conducted and as proposed
     to be conducted, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out the
     transactions  contemplated by this Agreement,  as appropriate,  and is duly
     licensed  or  qualified  to  do  business  as  a  foreign   corporation  in
     California, Utah and in each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its
     business or  ownership  or leasing of its  properties  requires it to be so
     qualified,  except where the failure to be so licensed or  qualified  would
     not have a material adverse effect on the business,  financial condition or
     prospects of the Company (a "Material Adverse Effect").

          (c)  Capitalization.  The authorized,  issued and outstanding  capital
     stock  of the  Company  prior  to  the  consummation  of  the  transactions
     contemplated hereby is as set forth in the Offering  Documents.  All issued
     and outstanding  shares of the Company are validly  issued,  fully paid and
     nonassessable  and have not been  issued  in  violation  of the  preemptive
     rights of any stockholder of the Company.  All prior sales of securities of
     the  Company  were either  registered  under the Act and  applicable  state
     securities  laws or exempt from such  registration,  and no security holder
     has any rescission rights with respect thereto.

          (d)  Warrants,  Preemptive  Rights,  Etc.  Except for the  warrants to
     purchase  shares of the Company's  Common Stock to be issued to you or your
     designees in  consideration  for your acting as Placement  Agent  hereunder
     (the "Agent's Warrants"), and except as set forth in or contemplated by the
     Memorandum,  there are not, nor will there be immediately after the Closing
     (as hereinafter defined),  any outstanding warrants,  options,  agreements,
     convertible  securities,  preemptive  rights  to  subscribe  for  or  other
     commitments  pursuant to which the Company is, or may become,  obligated to
     issue any shares of its capital  stock or other  securities  of the Company
     and this  Offering  will not cause any  anti-dilution  adjustments  to such
     securities or commitments except as reflected in the Memorandum.

          (e) Subsidiaries  and  Investments.  Except as set forth in Exhibit A,
     the Company has no other subsidiaries. The subsidiaries listed in Exhibit A
     (the  "Subsidiaries")  are corporations duly organized and validly existing
     under the laws of the States of Utah and  California.  The Company owns all
     of the  capital  stock of the  Subsidiaries  free and  clear of all  liens,
     security interests and encumbrances.

          (f) Financial  Statements.  The financial information contained in the
     Offering Documents is accurate in all material respects. The Company's Form
     10-QSB for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 contains the Company's
     (i) Balance Sheets at September 30, 1997, (ii) Statements of Operations for

     ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 (such
     financial  statements  attached  to  the  Offering  Documents   hereinafter
     referred to  collectively  as the  "Financial  Statements").  The Financial
     Statements  have  been  prepared  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
     accounting   principles   consistently   applied  and  show  all   material
     liabilities, absolute or contingent, of the Company required to be recorded
     thereon and present fairly the financial position and results of operations
     of the Company as of the dates and for the periods indicated.

          (g) Absence of Changes. Since the date of the Memorandum,  the Company
     has not incurred any liabilities or obligations,  direct or contingent, not
     in the ordinary course of business,  or entered into any transaction not in
     the ordinary  course of business,  which is material to the business of the
     Company, and, except as set forth in Schedule G to this Agreement there has
     not been any change in the capital stock of, or any incurrence of long-term
     debt by, the Company, or any issuance of options,  warrants or other rights
     to purchase the capital stock of the Company,  or any adverse change or any
     development involving,  so far as the Company can now reasonably foresee, a
     prospective adverse change in the condition  (financial or otherwise),  net
     worth, results of operations,  business,  key personnel or properties which
     would be material to the  business or  financial  condition of the Company,
     and the Company has not become a party to, and neither the business nor the
     property of the Company has become the subject of, any material  litigation
     whether or not in the ordinary course of business.

          (h) Title.  Except as set forth on Schedule H hereto,  the Company has
     good and marketable  title to all properties and assets,  owned by it, free
     and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances or restrictions,  except such
     as are not materially significant or important in relation to the Company's
     business;  all of the material leases and subleases under which the Company
     is the

     lessor or  sublessor  of  properties  or assets or under  which the Company
     holds  properties  or assets as lessee or  sublessee  are in full force and
     effect,  and the  Company is not in default in any  material  respect  with
     respect  to any of the  terms  or  provisions  of  any of  such  leases  or
     subleases,  and no material  claim has been  asserted by anyone  adverse to
     rights of the Company as lessor,  sublessor,  lessee or sublessee under any
     of the leases or subleases mentioned above, or affecting or questioning the
     right of the Company to  continued  possession  of the leased or  subleased
     premises or assets  under any such lease or  sublease.  The Company owns or
     leases  all such  properties  as are  necessary  to its  operations  as now
     conducted and to be conducted, as presently planned.

          (i) Proprietary Rights.  Except as set forth in Schedule I hereto, the
     Company  owns or  possesses  adequate  and  enforceable  rights  to use all
     patents, patent applications,  trademarks, service marks, copyrights, trade
     secrets, processes,  formulations,  technology or know-how used or proposed
     to be used in the conduct of its business as  described in or  contemplated
     by the Memorandum (the "Proprietary  Rights"). The Company has not received
     any notice of any claims,  nor does it have any knowledge of any threatened
     claims,  and knows of no facts  which  would  form the basis of any  claim,
     asserted by any person to the effect that the sale or use of any product or
     process  now used or  offered  by the  Company  or  proposed  to be used or
     offered by the Company  infringes on any patents or infringes  upon the use
     of any such  Proprietary  Rights of another  person and, to the best of the
     Company's  knowledge,  no others have  infringed the Company's  Proprietary
     Rights.

          (j)  Litigation.  There is no material  action,  suit,  investigation,
     customer  complaint,  claim or  proceeding at law or in equity by or before
     any arbitrator,  governmental  instrumentality  or other agency now pending
     or, to the  knowledge  of the Company,  threatened  against the Company (or
     basis  therefore  known to the Company) the adverse  outcome of which would
     have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not subject to any judgment,
     order, writ, injunction or decree of any Federal, state, municipal or other
     governmental   department,    commission,    board,   bureau,   agency   or
     instrumentality,  domestic or foreign  which would have a Material  Adverse
     Effect.

          (k) Non-Defaults;  Non-Contravention.  The Company is not in violation
     of or default under,  nor will the execution and delivery of this Agreement
     or any of the Offering  Documents,  the Fund Escrow  Agreement  (as defined
     herein), the Advisory Agreement (as defined herein) or the Agent's Warrants
     (as defined herein) or consummation of the transactions contemplated herein
     or  therein  result  in a  violation  of or  constitute  a  default  in the
     performance  or  observance  of any  obligation  (i) under its  Articles of
     Incorporation,  as amended,  or its By-laws,  or any  indenture,  mortgage,
     contract, material purchase order or other agreement or instrument to which
     the Company is a party or by which it or its  property is bound or affected
     or (ii) with respect to any material order,  writ,  injunction or decree of
     any  court  of  any  Federal,   state,   municipal  or  other  governmental
     department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality,  domestic
     or foreign, and there exists no condition,  event or act which constitutes,
     nor which  after  notice,  the lapse of time or both,  could  constitute  a
     default  under any of the  foregoing,  which in either  case  would  have a
     Material Adverse Effect.

          (l) Taxes. The Company has filed all Federal, state, local and foreign
     tax returns  which are  required to be filed by it and all such returns are
     true and correct in all material  respects.  The Company has paid all taxes
     pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any  assessments  received by it or
     which it is  obligated  to withhold  from  amounts  owing to any  employee,
     creditor  or third  party.  The  Company  has  properly  accrued  all taxes
     required  to be accrued.  The tax  returns of the  Company  have never been
     audited by any state,  local or Federal  authorities.  The  Company has not
     waived any statute of  limitations  with  respect to taxes or agreed to any
     extension of time with respect to any tax assessment or deficiency.

          (m) Compliance With Laws; Licenses,  Etc. The Company has not received
     notice of any violation of or noncompliance with any Federal,  state, local
     or foreign,  laws,  ordinances,  regulations  and orders  applicable to its
     business which has not been cured, the violation of, or noncompliance  with
     which,  would have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company has all licenses
     and permits and other governmental certificates, authorizations and permits
     and approvals  (collectively,  "Licenses") required by every Federal, state
     and local  government or regulatory  body for the operation of its business
     as  currently  conducted  and the use of its  properties,  except where the
     failure  to be  licensed  would not have a  Material  Adverse  Effect.  The
     Licenses  are in full force and effect and no  violations  are or have been
     recorded  in  respect  of any  License  and no  proceeding  is  pending  or
     threatened to revoke or limit any thereof.

          (n) Authorization of Agreement,  Etc. This Agreement has been duly and
     validly  authorized,   executed  and  delivered  by  the  Company  and  the
     execution,  delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement,  the
     Subscription Agreement,  the Warrant Agreement,  the Fund Escrow Agreement,
     the Advisory  Agreement and the M/A Agreement have been duly  authorized by
     all  requisite   corporate  action  by  the  Company  and  when  delivered,
     constitute or will constitute the legal,  valid and binding  obligations of
     the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

          (o) Authorization of Shares and Warrants,  Etc. The issuance, sale and
     delivery of the Shares and Warrants and the Agent's  Warrants have been, or
     prior to issuance and delivery  will be, duly  authorized  by all requisite
     corporate action of the Company.  When so issued,  sold and delivered,  the
     Shares, the Warrants and the Agent's Warrants will be duly executed, issued
     and  delivered  and will  constitute  valid  and legal  obligations  of the
     Company  enforceable in accordance with their respective terms and, in each
     case,  will not be subject to preemptive or any other similar rights of the
     stockholders  of the  Company or others  which  rights  shall not have been
     waived prior to the Initial Closing.

          (p) Authorization of Reserved Shares. The issuance,  sale and delivery
     by the Company of the shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon  conversion of
     the Shares and the  underlying  Common Stock  issuable upon the exercise of
     the Warrants and the Agent's Warrants (collectively, the "Reserved Shares")
     have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action of the Company,
     and  the  Reserved  Shares  have  been  duly  reserved  for  issuance  upon
     conversion of all or any of the Shares and exercise of the Agent's Warrants
     and when so issued, sold, paid for and delivered,  the Reserved Shares will
     be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable,

                                                             Page 18 of 74 Pages

     and  not  subject  to  preemptive  or  any  other  similar  rights  of  the
     stockholders  of the  Company or others  which  rights  shall not have been
     waived prior to the Initial Closing.

          (q)  Exemption  from  Registration.  Assuming  (i) the accuracy of the
     information  provided by the  respective  Subscribers  in the  Subscription
     Documents  and (ii) that the  Placement  Agent has complied in all material
     respects  with  the  provisions  of  Regulation  D  promulgated  under  the
     Securities  Act,  the offer and sale of the Units  pursuant to the terms of
     this  Agreement  are  exempt  from  the  registration  requirements  of the
     Securities Act and the rules and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder (the
     "Regulations").  The Company is not  disqualified  from the exemption under
     Regulation  D  by  virtue  of  the  disqualifications   contained  in  Rule
     505(b)(2)(iii) or Rule 507 promulgated thereunder.

          (r) Registration  Rights.  Except with respect to holders of the Units
     and the Agent's  Warrants,  and except as set forth in the  Memorandum,  no
     person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration  under
     the  Securities  Act of any  securities  of the Company.  The Company shall
     grant  registration  rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended to
     the investors in the Offering and/or their  transferees with respect to the
     Shares,  including the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares,
     and the Warrants,  including the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
     Warrants,  purchased  in  the  Offering  as  more  fully  described  in the
     Subscription  Agreement between the Company and the investors.  The Company
     will also grant one demand  registration  commencing  six months  after the
     Closing,  which,  at the  discretion  of the  Company,  may be filed on any
     applicable short form  registration  statement that the Company is eligible
     to use, and unlimited "piggyback"  registrations to Commonwealth Associates
     with respect to its Agent's  Warrants and the Common Stock  underlying such
     securities. The procedure to implement these registration rights will be as
     described in the Agent's Warrants.

          (s) Brokers.  Neither the Company nor any of its officers,  directors,
     employees or  stockholders  has employed any broker or finder in connection
     with  the  transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement  other  than  the
     Placement Agent.

          (t) Title to Units.  When  certificates  representing  the  securities
     comprising  the Units  and/or  the  Reserved  Shares  shall  have been duly
     delivered to the purchasers and payment shall have been made therefor,  the
     several  purchasers  shall have good and  marketable  title to the  Shares,
     Warrants   and/or  the  Reserved  Shares  free  and  clear  of  all  liens,
     encumbrances and claims whatsoever (with the exception of claims arising or
     through the acts of the  purchasers  and except as arising from  applicable
     Federal and state  securities  laws),  and the Company  shall have paid all
     taxes, if any, in respect of the original issuance thereof.

          (u) Right of First  Refusal.  Except  for the  right of first  refusal
     granted to the Placement Agent under Section 4(j) hereof,  no person,  firm
     or  other  business  entity  is a  party  to  any  agreement,  contract  or
     understanding,  written  or oral  entitling  such party to a right of first
     refusal with respect to the Company.

          (v) Securities Exchange Act Compliance. The Company has filed with the
     Securities  and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") on a timely basis all filings
     required of a

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 19 of 74 Pages

     company whose securities have been registered under the Securities Exchange
     Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). All information contained in such
     filings is true,  accurate  and  complete  in all  material  respects.  The
     Company  covenants to maintain the  registration  of its Common Stock under
     the Exchange Act and to make all filings  thereunder on a timely basis. For
     the  purpose of this  paragraph,  filings  pursuant  to Rule  12b-25 of the
     Exchange Act shall be deemed timely.

          (w)  Non-Affiliated  Directors.  Within two months  after the  Initial
     Closing,  the  Company's  Board of Directors  will have a majority (but not
     less than four)  directors  who  qualify  under the  criteria of the Nasdaq
     Stock Market as  independent  directors,  one of which may be a designee of
     Commonwealth. Unless any of such individuals refuse to serve, the following
     shall be the four  appointees:  Marshall  Geller,  Anthony  P.  Mazzarella,
     Harold S. Blue and Leonard M. Schiller.

  3. Closing; Placement and Fees.  

     (a) Closing.  Provided the Minimum  Offering shall have been subscribed for
and funds  representing  the sale  thereof  shall have  cleared,  a closing (the
"Initial  Closing") shall take place at the offices of the Placement  Agent, 830
Third Avenue,  New York, New York within ten (10) days following the Termination
Date  (which  date (the  "Closing  Date") may be  accelerated  or  adjourned  by
agreement  between the Company and the Placement Agent). At the Initial Closing,
payment  for the Units  issued  and sold by the  Company  shall be made  against
delivery of certificates  representing  the Shares and Warrants  comprising such
Units. In addition,  subsequent closings (if applicable) may be scheduled at the
discretion of the Company and Placement  Agent,  each of which shall be deemed a
"Closing" hereunder.

     (b) Conditions to Placement  Agent's  Obligations.  The  obligations of the
Placement Agent hereunder will be subject to the accuracy of the representations
and warranties of the Company  herein  contained as of the date hereof and as of
each  Closing  Date,  to the  performance  by  the  Company  of its  obligations
hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

          (i) Due Qualification or Exemption.  (A) The offering  contemplated by
     this Agreement will become qualified or be exempt from qualification  under
     the securities  laws of the several states pursuant to paragraph 4(e) below
     not later than the Closing Date,  and (B) at the Closing Date no stop order
     suspending the sale of the Units shall have been issued,  and no proceeding
     for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened;

          (ii) No Material  Misstatements.  Neither  the Blue Sky  qualification
     materials nor the Memorandum,  nor any supplement thereto,  will contain an
     untrue  statement of a fact which in the opinion of the Placement  Agent is
     material,  or omits to state a fact,  which in the opinion of the Placement
     Agent is material and is required to be stated therein,  or is necessary to
     make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
     were made, not misleading;

          (iii) Compliance with Agreements.  The Company will have complied with
     all  agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or
     satisfied hereunder at or prior to each Closing;

          (iv)  Corporate  Action.  The  Company  will have taken all  necessary
     corporate action, including, without limitation,  obtaining the approval of
     the Company's  board of  directors,  for the execution and delivery of this
     Agreement,  the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and
     the offering contemplated hereby;

          (v) Opinion of Counsel.  The Placement Agent shall receive the opinion
     of Loeb & Loeb LLP, dated the Closing(s), substantially to the effect that:

               (A) the Company has been duly  organized and is validly  existing
          and in good  standing  under the laws of the State of Nevada,  has all
          requisite power and authority  necessary to own or hold its respective
          properties  and conduct its business and is duly qualified or licensed
          to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in the
          State of California,  Utah and in each other jurisdiction in which the
          ownership  or leasing  of its  properties  or conduct of its  business
          requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify or
          be licensed would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

               (B)  each of this  Agreement,  the  Fund  Escrow  Agreement,  the
          Warrant Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, the Advisory Agreement,
          the M/A Agreement  and the Agent's  Warrants has been duly and validly
          authorized,  executed and  delivered by the Company,  and is the valid
          and  binding  obligation  of the  Company,  enforceable  against it in
          accordance  with its  terms,  subject  to any  applicable  bankruptcy,
          insolvency or other laws  affecting the rights of creditors  generally
          and to general equitable principles;

               (C) the authorized,  issued and outstanding  capital stock of the
          Company  as  of  the  date  hereof   (before   giving  effect  to  the
          transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement) is as set forth in the
          Offering  Documents.  Except  for the  Shares,  the  Warrants  and the
          Agent's  Warrants to be issued as contemplated  by this Agreement,  to
          such counsel's knowledge, there are no outstanding warrants,  options,
          agreements,   convertible  securities,   preemptive  rights  or  other
          commitments pursuant to which the Company is, or may become, obligated
          to issue any shares of its capital  stock or other  securities  of the
          Company other than as set forth in the  Memorandum.  All of the issued
          shares of capital stock of the Company  issued in connection  with the
          Company's  acquisition  of Madison,  York & Associates  on January 16,
          1997 and subsequent  thereof have been duly and validly authorized and
          issued,  are fully paid and  nonassessable and have not been issued in
          violation  of  the  preemptive  rights  of any  securityholder  of the
          Company.  The offers  and sales of such  outstanding  securities  were
          either  registered  under the Act and applicable state securities laws
          or exempt  from such  registration  requirements.  The  Shares and the
          Warrants included in the Units and the Agent's Warrants have been duly
          authorized,  validly  issued,  fully  paid  and  nonassessable  and no
          personal liability will attach to the ownership thereof.  The Reserved
          Shares have been, or prior to the issuance and delivery of the Shares,
          the Warrants and the Agent's Warrants will be, duly reserved, and when
          issued in  accordance  with the terms of the Shares,  the Warrants and
          the Agent's

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 21 of 74 Pages

          Warrants will be validly issued,  fully paid and nonassessable and not
          subject to  preemptive  or any other  similar  rights and no  personal
          liability will attach to the ownership thereof;

               (D) assuming (i) the accuracy of the information  provided by the
          Subscribers in the Subscription  Documents and (ii) that the Placement
          Agent has complied in all material  respects with the  requirements of
          section 4(2) of the Securities Act (and the provisions of Regulation D
          promulgated thereunder),  the issuance and sale of the Units is exempt
          from   registration   under  the   Securities  Act  and  Regulation  D
          promulgated thereunder;

               (E) neither the  execution  and delivery of this  Agreement,  the
          Fund  Escrow  Agreement,   the  Warrant  Agreement,  the  Subscription
          Agreement,  the Advisory  Agreement,  the M/A Agreement or the Agent's
          Warrants  nor  compliance  with the terms  hereof or thereof,  nor the
          consummation of the transactions herein or therein  contemplated,  nor
          the issuance of the Shares, the Warrants or the Agent's Warrants, has,
          nor will,  conflict  with,  result in a breach  of,  or  constitute  a
          default under the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or By-laws of
          the Company, or any material contract, instrument or document to which
          the  Company is a party,  or by which it or any of its  properties  is
          bound or violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order
          or decree of any governmental agency or court having jurisdiction over
          the Company or any of its properties or business;

               (F) to the best of such  counsel's  knowledge  after due inquiry,
          there are no claims,  actions,  suits,  investigations  or proceedings
          before  or  by  any  arbitrator,   court,  governmental  authority  or
          instrumentality   pending  or,  to  the  knowledge  of  such  counsel,
          threatened,   against  or  affecting  the  Company  or  involving  the
          properties of the Company which might  materially and adversely affect
          the  business,  properties  or  financial  condition of the Company or
          which might materially adversely affect the transactions or other acts
          contemplated  by this Agreement or the validity or  enforceability  of
          this Agreement, except as set forth in or contemplated by the Offering
          Documents; and

               (G) such  counsel  has  participated  in the  preparation  of the
          Offering  Documents  and  nothing  has come to the  attention  of such
          counsel to cause  them to have  reason to  believe  that the  Offering
          Documents  contained any untrue  statement of a material fact required
          to be stated therein or omitted to state any material fact required to
          be stated  therein or  necessary  to make the  statements  therein not
          misleading  (except for the  financial  statements,  notes thereto and
          other financial information and statistical data contained therein, as
          to which such counsel need express no opinion).

          (vi) Opinion of Trademark and Copyright  Counsel.  The Placement Agent
     shall receive the opinion of special trademark and copyright counsel to the
     Company,  dated  the  Closing(s),  in form and  substance  satisfactory  to
     counsel for the Placement Agent, to the effect that:

     (a) The  Company  holds a  valid  registered  trademark  for  "iMALL"  (the
"Trademark");

                                                             Page 22 of 74 Pages

     (b)  Neither  the  Company nor its  subsidiaries  has  received  any notice
challenging the validity or enforceability of the Trademark;

     (c) there have been no claims asserted  against the Company relating to the
potential  infringement of or conflict with any trademarks,  copyrights or trade
secrets of others.

          (vii)  Officers'  Certificate.  The  Placement  Agent shall  receive a
     certificate of the Company,  signed by the President and Secretary thereof,
     that the representations  and warranties  contained in Section 2 hereof are
     true and  accurate in all  material  respects at such Closing with the same
     effect as though expressly made at such Closing.

          (viii) Fund Escrow Agreement. The Placement Agent shall receive a copy
     of a duly executed  escrow  agreement in the form acceptable to the Company
     and the  Placement  Agent  regarding  the  deposit  of  funds  pending  the
     Closing(s)  with a bank or trust company  acceptable to the Placement Agent

     Placement  Agent shall  receive  agreements  from each of Messrs.  Craig R.
     Pickering,  Mark R. Comer,  Richard Rosenblatt and Martin Rosenblatt to the
     effect that (i) such individual shall not publicly sell, assign or transfer
     any of their  securities  of the Company for a period of 12 months from the
     final  Closing of this offering  without the prior  written  consent of the
     Placement Agent.

          (x) Transmittal  Letters.  The Placement Agent shall receive copies of
     all letters from the Company to the investors transmitting the Warrants and
     Shares and shall receive a letter from the Company  confirming  transmittal

          (xi)  Charter  Amendment.  On or prior  to the  Initial  Closing,  the
     Company shall have obtained the necessary board of director and shareholder
     approval  of an  amendment  to  the  Company's  articles  of  incorporation
     authorizing  the Preferred  Stock and shall have filed such  amendment with
     the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

     (c) Blue Sky. A summary blue sky survey shall be prepared by counsel to the
Placement Agent stating the extent to which and the conditions upon which offers
and sales of the Units may be made in certain  jurisdictions.  It is  understood
that such  survey may be based on or rely upon (i) the  representations  of each
Subscriber set forth in the Subscription Agreement delivered by such Subscriber,
(ii) the representations,  warranties and agreements of the Company set forth in
Section 2 of this  Agreement,  (iii) the  representations  and warranties of the

with the qualification of the Units under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the
states which the  Placement  Agent shall  designate.  The Company  will, at each
Closing,  issue to you or your designees  (which may include any Selected Dealer
or any officer of the Placement Agent or a Selected Dealer) the Agent's Warrants
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 1 to purchase  5,500,000  shares of Common
Stock in case of the Minimum  Offering and increasing by 500,000 shares for each
additional  $1,000,000  raised up to a total of 10,500,000 shares in the case of
the  Maximum  Offering,  at an exercise  price of $.40 per share.  The number of
warrants to be issued to the Placement Agent will be reduced on a pro rata basis
for each $1.00 less than the Maximum  Offering  raised.  In th event that any of
the Overallotment Units (as defined herein) are sold in the Offering, the number
of warrants to be issued to the Placement  Agent will be increased on a pro rata
basis for each  $1.00 in excess of the  Maximum  Offering  raised.  The  Agent's
Warrants  will be  exercisable  for a period  of five  years  from  the  Initial
Closing.  At the Initial  Closing,  the Company  shall enter into (i) a 12-month
financial advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with the Placement Agent
under which it will pay the  Placement  Agent $5,000 per month for 12 months and
(ii) a two-year  agreement  regarding mergers and acquisitions ("M/A Agreement")
pursuant  to  which  it will pay the  Placement  Agent  5% of any  consideration
received in such a transaction with a party introduced by the Placement Agent.

     (f)  Bring-Down  Opinions  and  Certificates.  If  there  is more  than one
Closing,  then at each such Closing  there shall be  delivered to the  Placement
Agent updated  opinions and  certificates as described in (v), (vi) and (vii) of
Section 3(b) above, respectively.

     (g) No Adverse Changes. There shall not have occurred, at any time prior to
the Closing or, if  applicable,  any  additional  Closing,  (i) any  domestic or
international event, act or occurrence which has materially disrupted, or in the
Placement Agent's opinion will in the immediate future materially  disrupt,  the
securities  markets;  (ii) a general  suspension of, or a general  limitation on
prices for, trading in securities on the New York Stock Exchange or the American
Stock Exchange or in the  over-the-counter  market;  (iii) any outbreak of major
hostilities  or other  national  or  international  calamity;  (iv) any  banking
moratorium declared by a state or federal authority; (v) any moratorium declared
in foreign exchange trading by major international banks or other persons;  (vi)
any material  interruption  in the mail service or other means of  communication
within the United  States;  (vii) any material  adverse  change in the business,
properties,  assets,  results  of  operations,  or  financial  condition  of the
Company;  or (viii) any change in the  market  for  securities  in general or in
political,  financial,  or economic  conditions  which, in the Placement Agent's
reasonable  judgment,  makes it inadvisable to proceed with the offering,  sale,
and delivery of the Units.

     4. Covenants of the Company.

     (a) Use of Proceeds.  The net proceeds of the Offering  will be used by the
Company substantially as set forth in the Memorandum.  The Company shall not use
more than $650,000 of the proceeds  from the Offering to repay any  indebtedness
of the  Company,  including  but not  limited  to  indebtedness  to any  current
executive officers,  directors or principal  stockholders of the Company,  other
than as set forth in the Memorandum.

     (b) Break-Up Fee. If the Private  Placement is not completed for any reason
except those specified in the next sentence, the Company shall be liable for the
Placement Agent's out of pocket expenses, not to exceed $200,000, in addition to
the other costs and expenses of the Offering set forth in Section  3(d).  If the
Placement Agent raises at least $5,000,000 in escrow and if, within 60 days from
the  printing of a final  Memorandum,  the Private  Placement  is not  completed
because  the  Company  prevents  it or because of a breach by the Company of any
such covenants, representations or warranties, the Company shall, in addition to
the  payments  set forth  above and in Section  3(d),  pay the  Placement  Agent
$500,000. In such event, the Placement Agent shall receive 5,500,000 Warrants to
purchase Common Stock with an exercise price of $.40 per share.

     (c)  Reservation  of Common  Stock.  The  Company  shall  reserve  and keep
available that maximum  number of its  authorized but unissued  shares of Common
Stock which are issuable upon  conversion  and/or exercise of the Shares and the
Warrants, including the shares underlying the Agent's Warrants.

     (d) Notification. The Company shall notify the Placement Agent immediately,
and in  writing,  (A) when any event  shall  have  occurred  during  the  period
commencing on the date hereof and ending on the later of the last Closing or the
Termination  Date as a result of which the Offering  Documents would include any
untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and (B) of the receipt of any  notification  with  respect to the  modification,
rescission, withdrawal or suspension of the qualification or registration of the
Units,  or of any exemption  from such  registration  or  qualification,  in any
jurisdiction.  The Company  will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any such  modification,  rescission,  withdrawal or suspension  and, if any such
modification, rescission, withdrawal or suspension is issued and you so request,
to obtain the lifting thereof as promptly as possible.

     (e) Blue Sky.  The Company will use its best efforts to qualify or register
the Units for  offering and sale under,  or  establish  an  exemption  from such
qualification  or registration  under, the securities or "blue sky" laws of such
jurisdictions as you may reasonably request;  provided however, that the Company
will not be obligated to qualify as a dealer in securities  in any  jurisdiction
in which it is not so  qualified.  The Company will not  consummate  any sale of
Units in any  jurisdiction  in which it is not so  qualified or in any manner in
which such sale may not be lawfully made.

     (f) Form D Filing.  The Company shall file five copies of a Notice of Sales
of  Securities  on Form D with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the
"Commission")  no later  than 15 days  after the first  sale of the  Units.  The
Company shall file  promptly such  amendments to such Notices on Form D as shall
become  necessary and shall also comply with any filing  requirement  imposed by
the laws of any state or  jurisdiction  in which offers and sales are made.  The
Company shall furnish the Placement Agent with copies of all such filings.

     (g)  Press  Releases,  Etc.  The  Company  shall  not,  during  the  period
commencing  on the date  hereof and ending on the later of the last  Closing and
the Termination Date,

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 25 of 74 Pages

issue any press  release or other  communication,  or hold any press  conference
with respect to the Company,  its financial  condition,  results of  operations,
business, properties, assets, or liabilities, or the Offering, without the prior
consent  of the  Placement  Agent,  which  consent  shall  not  be  unreasonably
withheld.

     (h) Form 10-QSB The Company will provide to the Placement  Agent,  promptly
upon the filing  thereof with the  Commission  (and in any event no later than 5
days of such  filing),  a copy of its Annual  Report in Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1997.

     (i)  Restrictions  on Issuance of Securities.  Prior to the Initial Closing
Date, the Company will not,  without the prior written  consent of the Placement
Agent, issue additional shares of Common Stock or grant any warrants, options or
other securities of the Company.

     (j) Absence of Changes.  Subsequent to the date of the Memorandum and prior
to the Closing,  the Company will not,  without the prior written consent of the
Placement Agent, incur any liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, not
in the ordinary  course of business,  or enter into any  transaction  not in the
ordinary  course of business,  which is material to the business of the Company,
and there will not be any change in the capital  stock of, or any  incurrence of
long-term  debt by, the Company,  or any issuance of options,  warrants or other
rights to purchase the capital stock of the Company.

     (k) Advisory  Agreement.  Prior to or on the Initial  Closing,  the Company
shall execute and deliver to the Placement  Agent the Advisory  Agreement in the
form previously delivered to the Company by the Placement Agent.

     (l) Key-Man Insurance. Prior to the Initial Closing, the Company shall have
obtained  "key-man" life insurance policies in the amount of at least $2,000,000
on each of the lives of Messrs.  Rosenblatt,  Comer and Pickering. Such policies
will be kept in for at least three years from the  Initial  Closing  Date or the
term of the  employment  agreements  with  such  officers,  whichever  period is
longer.

     (m) Executive  Compensation.  The compensation of the executive officers of
the Company shall not increase from the date of this  Agreement  until 12 months
from the Termination Date.

     (n)  Board  Designee.  The  Company  shall,  for a period  of  three  years
following  the  Initial  Closing  Date or such  earlier  date  after the  second
anniversary  of the  Initial  Closing  Date  as the  Preferred  Stock  has  been
converted pursuant to the automatic conversion feature set forth in Section 6(B)
of the Designation,  at the Placement Agent's option, nominate a designee of the
Placement  Agent to the  Company's  Board of Directors  or, at the option of the
Placement  Agent appoint an observer  selected by the Placement  Agent to attend
all meetings of the Company's Board of Directors.

     (o) Accounting Firm. The Company shall retain an accounting firm acceptable
to the Placement  Agent  promptly  following the Initial  Closing Date and for a
period of three years  following the Initial  Closing  Date,  shall not effect a
change in such  accounting  firm,  without  the  prior  written  consent  of the
Placement Agent, unless such new firm is a "big four" accounting firm.

     (p) Reports.  The Company will deliver to all  purchasers  in this Offering
(and/or  their  transferees),  within  45 days  after  the  close of each of the
Company's  first three  fiscal  quarters,  a quarterly  report and  shareholders
letter  substantially  similar in form and  substance to a Form 10-QSB under the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 and an  abbreviated  form of an annual  report
within 90 days after its year end.

     (q) M/A Agreement.  Prior to or on the Initial  Closing,  the Company shall
execute  and  deliver  to the  Placement  Agent  the M/A  Agreement  in the form

checks,  wires or money transfers  issued by the Company for an amount over $500
must bear two signatures, one of which must be that of Richard Rosenblatt.

5. Indemnification.

     (a) The Company  agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement  Agent
and each Selected Dealer, if any, and their respective shareholders,  directors,
officers,  agents and controlling  persons (an "Indemnified  Party") against any
and all loss,  liability,  claim, damage and expense whatsoever (and all actions
in respect  thereof),  and to reimburse the  Placement  Agent for legal fees and
related expenses as incurred (including,  but not limited to the costs of giving
testimony or furnishing  documents in response to a subpoena or  otherwise,  and
the costs of  investigating,  preparing  or  defending  any such action or claim
whether or not in connection  with  litigation in which the Placement Agent is a
party),  arising out of any untrue  statement or alleged  untrue  statement of a
material  fact  contained in the  Offering  Documents or the omission or alleged
omission  therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein,  in  light  of the  circumstances  under  which  they  were  made,  not
misleading;

     (b) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified  Party
to the  same  extent  as the  foregoing  indemnity,  against  any and all  loss,
liability,  claim,  damage and expense  whatsoever  directly  arising out of the
exercise by any person of any right under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
or the  securities or Blue Sky laws of any state on account of violations of the
representations, warranties or agreements set forth in Section 2 hereof.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by a person entitled to indemnification pursuant
to the  foregoing  subsection  (a) or (b) (an  "indemnified  party")  under this
Section of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party will,
if a claim in  respect  thereof is to be made  against  the  Company  under this
Section, notify in writing the Company of the commencement

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 27 of 74 Pages

thereof;  but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to the  indemnified  party otherwise than under this
Section. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, and it
notifies the Company of the commencement  thereof,  the Company will be entitled
to participate  in, and, to the extent that it may wish,  jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, subject to
the  provisions  herein  stated,  with counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to the
indemnified party, and after notice from the Company to the indemnified party of
its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to
the  indemnified  party  under  this  Section  for any  legal or other  expenses
subsequently  incurred by the  indemnified  party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable  costs of  investigation.  The  indemnified  party
shall  have the right to  employ  separate  counsel  in any such  action  and to
participate  in the defense  thereof,  but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall not be at the  expense  of the  Company if the  Company  has  assumed  the
defense of the action with counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to the indemnified
party;  provided  that the fees and  expenses  of such  counsel  shall be at the
expense  of the  Company  if  (i)  the  employment  of  such  counsel  has  been
specifically  authorized  in writing by the Company or (ii) the named parties to
any such action  (including any impleaded  parties) include both the indemnified
party or parties and the Company and, in the judgment of the indemnified  party,
it is  advisable  for the  indemnified  party or  parties to be  represented  by
separate  counsel (in which case the Company  shall not have the right to assume
the defense of such  action on behalf of the  indemnified  party or parties,  it
being  understood,  however,  that the Company shall not, in connection with any
one such action or separate but substantially  similar or related actions in the
same jurisdiction  arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances,
be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of
attorneys  for the  indemnified  party or parties.  No  settlement of any action
against  an  indemnified  party  shall  be  made  without  the  consent  of  the
indemnified  party,  which  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld in light of all
factors of importance to the indemnified party.

     6. Contribution.

     To provide for just and equitable contribution, if (i) an indemnified party
makes a claim for  indemnification  pursuant to Section (5) but it is found in a
final  judicial  determination,   not  subject  to  further  appeal,  that  such
indemnification  may not be  enforced in such case,  even though this  Agreement
expressly provides for  indemnification in such case, or (ii) any indemnified or
indemnifying  party seeks  contribution  under the Securities  Act, the Exchange
Act, or otherwise, then the Company (including for this purpose any contribution
made by or on  behalf  of any  officer,  director,  employee  or  agent  for the
Company,  or any  controlling  person of the Company),  on the one hand, and the
Placement  Agent  and any  Selected  Dealers  (including  for this  purpose  any
contribution by or on behalf of an indemnified  party), on the other hand, shall
contribute to the losses, liabilities,  claims, damages, and expenses whatsoever
to which any of them may be subject,  in such  proportions as are appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company,  on the one hand, and the
Placement Agent and the Selected Dealers, on the other hand; provided,  however,
that if  applicable  law does not permit such  allocation,  then other  relevant
equitable  considerations  such as the  relative  fault of the  Company  and the
Placement  Agent and the  Selected  Dealers in  connection  with the facts which
resulted in such losses,  liabilities,  claims, damages, and expenses shall also
be  considered.  In no case shall the  Placement  Agent or a Selected  Dealer be
responsible  for a  portion  of the  contribution  obligation  in  excess of the
compensation

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 28 of 74 Pages

received by it pursuant to Section 3 hereof or the Selected Dealer Agreement, as
the case may be. No person  guilty of a  fraudulent  misrepresentation  shall be
entitled to  contribution  from any person who is not guilty of such  fraudulent
misrepresentation.  For  purposes of this  Section 6, each  person,  if any, who
controls the Placement  Agent or a Selected Dealer within the meaning of Section
15 of the  Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and each officer,
director,  stockholder,  employee and agent of the Placement Agent or a Selected
Dealer, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Placement Agent or the
Selected  Dealer,  and each person,  if any who controls the Company  within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act
and each officer,  director,  employee and agent of the Company,  shall have the
same  rights  to  contribution  as the  Company,  subject  in  each  case to the
provisions  of this  Section  6.  Anything  in this  Section  6 to the  contrary
notwithstanding,  no party shall be liable for contribution  with respect to the
settlement of any claim or action  effected  without its written  consent.  This
Section  6 is  intended  to  supersede  any  right  to  contribution  under  the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise.

     7. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Survival.  Any termination of the Offering without consummation thereof
shall  be  without  obligation  on  the  part  of  any  party  except  that  the
indemnification  provided in Section 5 hereof and the  contribution  provided in
Section 6 hereof shall survive any termination and shall survive the Closing for
a period of five years.

     (b)  Representations,  Warranties  and Covenants to Survive  Delivery.  The
respective representations,  warranties, indemnities,  agreements, covenants and
other statements of the Company as of the date hereof shall survive execution of
this Agreement and delivery of the Shares and the Warrants. All of the Company's
obligations  for the payment of fees and expenses  shall survive  termination of
this Agreement,  subject to the maximum amounts payable by the Company  provided
in Section 4(b) hereof.

     (c) No Other  Beneficiaries.  This  Agreement  is intended for the sole and
exclusive  benefit of the parties  hereto and their  respective  successors  and
controlling  persons,  and no other person,  firm or corporation  shall have any
third-party beneficiary or other rights hereunder.

     (d)  Governing  Law. This  Agreement  shall be governed by and construed in
accordance  with the law of the State of New York without  regard to conflict of
law  provisions.  The Placement Agent and the Company will attempt to settle any
claim or controversy  arising out of this  Agreement  through  consultation  and
negotiation  in good  faith  and a spirit  of mutual  cooperation.  Should  such
attempts  fail,  then the  dispute  will be  mediated  by a mutually  acceptable
mediator  to be chosen by the  Placement  Agent and the  Company  within 15 days
after written notice from either party  demanding  mediation.  Neither party may
unreasonably  withhold  consent to the selection of a mediator,  and the parties
will share the costs of the  mediation  equally.  Any dispute  which the parties
cannot resolve through negotiation or mediation within six months of the date of
the initial  demand for it by one of the parties  may then be  submitted  to the
courts for  resolution.  The use of mediation  will not be  construed  under the
doctrine of latches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of either
party. Nothing in this paragraph will prevent either party from

                                                             Page 29 of 74 Pages

resorting  to  judicial  proceedings  if (a) good faith  efforts to resolve  the
dispute under these procedures have been unsuccessful or (b) interim relief from
a court if necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury.

     (e)  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in  counterparts  with the
same effect as if both parties had signed one and the same instrument.

     (f) Notices.  Any communications  specifically  required hereunder to be in

     (g) Entire  Agreement.  This Agreement  constitutes the entire agreement of
the parties with respect to the matters herein referred and supersedes all prior
agreements  and  understandings,  written and oral,  between  the  parties  with
respect to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof
may be  changed,  waived or  terminated  orally,  but only by an  instrument  in
writing signed by the party against which  enforcement of the change,  waiver or
termination is sought.

                                   iMALL, INC.

     iMALL,  INC., a corporation  organized  and existing  under the laws of the
State of Nevada (the  "Company"),  by its President and  Secretary,  does hereby
certify  that,  pursuant to authority  conferred  upon the Board of Directors by
Article  IV of the  Articles  of  Incorporation,  as  amended,  of the  Company,
authorizing a class of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company,  the
Board of Directors  of the  Company,  by  unanimous  written  consent,  has duly
adopted resolutions  providing for the issuance out of such class of a series of
up to 5,000,000 shares of Series A 9% Convertible Preferred Stock at an issuance
price of $4.00 per share (the "Original  Purchase  Price") and setting forth the
voting powers, designation,  preferences and relative,  participating,  optional
and other special rights, and the  qualifications,  limitations and restrictions
thereof, which resolution is as follows:

     RESOLVED,  that pursuant to the authority  vested in the Board of Directors
of  the  Company  in  accordance   with  the   provisions  of  its  Articles  of
Incorporation,  as amended, there be, and hereby is, created out of the class of
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company  authorized in of Article IV
of its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, a series of preferred stock of the
Company with the following voting powers, designation, preferences and relative,
participating,   optional  and  other  special   rights,   and   qualifications,
limitations and restrictions:

     1. Designation and Number of Shares.

     5,000,000  shares of preferred  stock are hereby  designated as Series A 9%
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock").

     2. Dividends.

     (A) Commencing on the date of issuance (the "Issuance  Date"),  each issued
and  outstanding  share of Series A Preferred  Stock shall entitle the holder of
record  thereof to receive,  when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors,
out of any funds  legally  available  therefor,  dividends  as follows:  for the
period  commencing  with the first  closing  date (the "First  Closing")  of the
private  placement of the Series A Preferred  Stock  pursuant to a  Confidential
Placement  Memorandum,  dated November 7, 1997 (the "Private Placement") through
Commonwealth  Associates as placement agent until  conversion,  at the rate (the
"Dividend  Rate")  of $.36 per annum  per  share of  Series A  Preferred  Stock,
subject to adjustment in each case as hereinafter set forth, for the semi-annual
period (or, in the case of the first dividend period,  the period  commencing on
the Date of Issuance) ending on the date immediately preceding the Dividend

Payment Date payable  semi-annually  on each January 2 and July 1 (the "Dividend
Payment  Date"),  to holders  of record on  December  15 and June 15  ("Dividend
Record Date").  Dividends per share shall be payable,  at the Company's  option,
either  (i) in cash or (ii) in  shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock,  valued at
$4.00 per share.

     (B) Dividends  shall accrue from the date of issuance and shall accrue from
day to day,  whether or not earned or declared.  Cash dividends shall be paid on
the  Series A  Preferred  Stock only when,  as and if  declared  by the Board of
Directors,  out of funds legally  available  therefor.  Such dividends  shall be
cumulative  so that,  if such  dividends  in respect of any  previous or current
semi-annual period, at the annual rate specified above (subject to adjustment as
herein provided),  shall not have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for
payment thereof set apart,  the deficiency  shall first be fully paid before any
dividend  or other  distribution  shall be paid on or set apart  for any  equity
securities of the Company which is junior to the Series A Preferred  Stock.  Any
accumulation  of  dividends  on the  Series A  Preferred  Stock  shall  not bear
interest.

     (C) Unless full  cumulative  dividends on the Series A Preferred  Stock for
all past dividend  periods and the then current  dividend period shall have been
paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart:  (i) no
dividend  whatsoever  shall be paid or declared,  and no  distribution  shall be
made,  on any equity  security  of the  Company  which is junior to the Series A
Preferred  Stock,  and (ii) no shares of any equity  security which is junior to
the Series A Preferred  Stock of the Company  shall be purchased,  redeemed,  or
acquired  by the  Company  and no funds  shall be paid into or set aside or made
available  for a  sinking  fund for the  purchase,  redemption,  or  acquisition
thereof.

     (D) As set forth in the Company's  Articles of  Incorporation,  as amended,
the par value of the Series A Preferred Stock is $.001 per share.

     (E) If any dividend  previously due on the Series A Preferred Stock has not
been paid in full,  then no dividends  shall be paid or declared upon any shares
of any class or  series of stock of the  Company  ranking  on a parity  with the
Series A Preferred  Stock in the payment of  dividends  for any period  unless a
like proportionate dividend for the current period, ratably in proportion to the
respective annual dividend rates fixed thereupon, shall be paid upon or declared
for the Series A Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding.

     (F) In the event of a split or  subdivision  of the  outstanding  shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, or the combination or the outstanding shares of Series
A  Preferred  Stock,  as the case may be,  the  dividends  provided  for in this
Section 2 shall  automatically  and without any further action be decreased,  in
the case of a split or subdivision,  or increased, in the case of a combination,
in  proportion  to the  increase or decrease in the number of shares of Series A
Preferred  Stock  outstanding  immediately  before  such split,  subdivision  or
combination.

     3. Redemption.

     The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable.

     4. Liquidation

     Upon any  liquidation,  dissolution  or winding up of the Company,  whether
voluntary or involuntary ("Liquidation"), the holders of record of the shares of
the  Series A  Preferred  Stock  shall be  entitled  to  receive,  before and in
preference  to any  distribution  or  payment  of assets of the  Company  or the
proceeds thereof may be made or set apart for the holders of Common Stock of the
Company,  par value $.001 per share (the "Common  Stock") or any other  security
junior  to the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock in  respect  of  distributions  upon
Liquidation out of the assets of the Company legally  available for distribution
to its stockholders,  an amount in cash equal to the Original Purchase Price per
share  (subject to adjustment if the Series A Preferred  Stock has been adjusted
pursuant to  Paragraph  2(F)  hereof) plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid
dividends  on each share of Series A  Preferred  Stock on the date fixed for the
distribution of assets of the Company (the "Liquidation  Preference").  If, upon
such  Liquidation,  the assets of the Company  available for distribution to the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock and any other series of preferred stock then
outstanding ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock upon liquidation
("Parity  Stock") shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to the holders
of the Series A Preferred  Stock and Parity  Stock,  then the entire  assets and
funds of the Company legally  available for distribution to such holders and the
holders of the Parity Stock then outstanding shall be distributed  ratably among
the  holders of the Series A  Preferred  Stock and Parity  Stock  based upon the
proportion the total amount  distributable on each share upon liquidation  bears
to the aggregate amount available for distribution on all shares of the Series A
Preferred  Stock and of such  Parity  Stock,  if any. A merger or  consolidation
shall  be  considered  a  Liquidation  except  in  the  event  that  in  such  a
transaction,  the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock receive  securities of
the surviving  corporation having  substantially  similar rights as the Series A
Preferred Stock and the  stockholders of the Company  immediately  prior to such
transaction  are holders of at least a majority of the voting  securities of the
surviving corporation immediately thereafter.  Notwithstanding Section 7 hereof,
such provision may be waived in writing by a majority of the holders of the then
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

     5. Priority.

     (A) So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding,
no dividends,  whether in cash or property, shall be paid or declared, nor shall
any other  distribution be made, on the Common Stock of the Company or any other
security  junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend  rights,  unless
all dividends on the Series A Preferred  Stock for all past  quarterly  dividend
periods and the full  dividends  for the then current  semi-annual  period shall
have been paid or declared and duly provided for. The provisions of this Section
5 shall not,  however,  apply to a dividend payable in Common Stock or any other
security of the Company junior to the Series A Preferred  Stock. If any dividend
previously due on the Series A Preferred  Stock has not been paid in full,  then
no dividends shall be paid or declared upon any shares of any class or series of
stock of the Company  ranking on a parity  with the Series A Preferred  Stock in
the payment of

                                                             Page 34 of 74 Pages

dividends  for any period unless a like  proportionate  dividend for the current
period,  ratably in proportion to the  respective  annual  dividend  rates fixed
thereupon,  shall be paid upon or declared for the Series A Preferred Stock then
issued and outstanding.

     (B) The Company may issue, in the future, without the consent of holders of
the Series A Preferred  Stock,  other  series of  preferred  stock which rank on
parity  with or junior to the Series A  Preferred  Stock as to  dividend  and/or
liquidation rights. In accordance with Paragraph 7(C) hereof, the consent of the
holders of two-thirds of the outstanding  shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
is required for the issuance of any series of preferred stock which is senior as
to dividend and/or liquidation rights to the Series A Preferred Stock.

     6. Conversion Rights.

     Each holder of record of shares of the Series A Preferred  Stock shall have
the  right  to  convert  all or any  part of such  holder's  share  of  Series A
Preferred Stock into Common Stock as follows:

     (A) Voluntary Conversion.  Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be convertible at any time, at the option of the respective holders thereof,  at
the office of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred  Stock,  or if there
is none,  then at the office of the transfer  agent for the Common Stock,  or if
there is no such  transfer  agent,  at the  principal  executive  office  of the
Company,  into that  number of fully  paid and  non-assessable  shares of Common
Stock of the  Company  equal  to the  Original  Purchase  Price  divided  by the
conversion price in effect at the time of conversion (the  "Conversion  Price"),
determined as  hereinafter  provided.  The Conversion  Price shall  initially be
$.40.  The number of shares of Common  Stock into which each share of  Preferred
Stock is convertible is herein referred to as the "Conversion  Rate."  Dividends
accrued and payable at the time of  conversion  shall be paid,  at the Company's
option,  either  (i) in cash  or (ii) in such  number  of  shares  of  Series  A
Preferred Stock equal to the quotient  resulting from dividing the amount of any
unpaid and accrued  dividends  by the  Conversion  Price.  For  purposes of this
Paragraph 6(A), such  conversion  shall be deemed to have been made  immediately
prior to the close of  business on the date of such  surrender  of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock to be converted,  and the person or persons entitled to
receive  the  shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon such  conversion  shall be
treated  for all  purposes  as the record  holder or  holders of such  shares of
Common Stock as of such date.

     (B) Automatic  Conversion.  Commencing  one year after the final closing of
the Private  Placement (the "Final  Closing"),  at the Company's  option upon 30
days'  prior  written  notice to each  holder of record,  each share of Series A
Preferred Stock then outstanding shall, by virtue of such conditions and without
any action on the part of the holder thereof, be deemed automatically  converted
into that  number of shares of Common  Stock into  which the Series A  Preferred
Stock would then be converted at the then effective Conversion Rate provided (i)
the closing price  (determined,  other than the time period,  in accordance with
Paragraph  6(G)(ii)) of the  Company's  Common Stock equals or exceeds $1.00 per
share for 30 consecutive trading days and (ii) a registration statement covering
the shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon  conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company's  right to force  conversion  pursuant to this Paragraph 6(B) shall
terminate on the fifth anniversary of the Final Closing.

     (C) Mechanics of Conversion.  Before any holder of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common  Stock,  such holder
shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor,  duly endorsed, at the
office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock,
and shall give written notice to the Company at its principal  corporate office,
of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in
which the  certificate  or  certificates  for  shares of Common  Stock are to be
issued. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter,  issue and deliver
at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred  Stock, or to the nominee or
nominees of such holder,  a certificate or certificates for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid.

     (D) All Common  Stock which may be issued upon  conversion  of the Series A
Preferred   Stock  will,  upon  issuance,   be  duly  issued,   fully  paid  and
non-assessable  and free from all taxes,  liens, and charges with respect to the
issuance  thereof.  At all times that any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are
outstanding,  the Company shall have  authorized and shall have reserved for the
purpose of  issuance  upon such  conversion  into  Common  Stock of all Series A
Preferred  Stock,  a sufficient  number of shares of Common Stock to provide for
the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the then
effective Conversion Rate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if,
at any time, the Conversion  Price is decreased,  the number of shares of Common
Stock  authorized  and reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased.

     (E) The Conversion  Price shall be subject to adjustment  from time to time
as follows:

          (i) (a) In case the Company  shall issue shares of Common Stock or any
     securities  convertible into or exchangeable  for Common Stock,  other than
     "Excluded  Securities"  (as defined below),  for a consideration  per share
     (the "Offering Price") less than the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price
     shall be adjusted  immediately  thereafter so that it shall equal the price
     determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect  immediately prior
     to the date of issuance by a fraction,  the numerator of which shall be the
     number  of  shares of Common  Stock  outstanding  immediately  prior to the
     issuance of such additional shares and the number of shares of Common Stock
     which  the  aggregate  consideration  received  for  the  issuance  of such
     additional  shares  would  purchase  at  the  Conversion  Price  in  effect
     immediately  prior to the date of such  issuance,  and the  denominator  of
     which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
     after the issuance of such additional shares. Such adjustment shall be made
     successively whenever such an issuance is made. Notwithstanding anything to
     the  contrary  contained  herein,  in the event that at any time during the
     18-month period following the final closing of the Private  Placement,  the
     market price of the Company's  Common Stock  (determined in accordance with
     the  provisions  of  Paragraph  6(G)(ii)  hereof),  is less than $.40,  the
     Conversion Price shall be automatically adjusted to equal such lower market
     price.  In addition,  notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary  contained
     herein,  in the event the Company  shall,  at any time during  the 18-month
     period  commencing  on the  date  of the  initial  closing  of the  Private
     Placement, sell any shares

     of Common  Stock for a  consideration  per share  less than the  Conversion
     Price (including the securities described in subparagraphs  6(E)(ii)(c) and
     6(E)(ii)(d)),  the Conversion Price shall be immediately  adjusted to equal
     such issuance price. The provisions of this subparagraph  6(E)(i) shall not
     apply  retroactively  to any  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  which  has  been
     converted prior to the date of the adjustment.

          (b) Except as otherwise  provided in subparagraph  6(E)(iii) below, in
     no  event  shall  the  Conversion  Price be  increased  above  the  initial
     Conversion Price, as otherwise adjusted pursuant to this Section 6.

          (c) Upon each  adjustment  of the  Conversion  Price  pursuant to this
     subparagraph   6(E)(i).   the  total  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
     purchasable  upon the conversion of each share of Series A Preferred  Stock
     shall be such number of shares (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth and
     pursuant to the terms of subparagraph 6(G)(i);  provided,  however, that in
     no event shall the  Conversion  Price increase as a result of such rounding
     calculation)  purchasable  at the  Conversion  Price in effect  immediately
     prior to such adjustment  multiplied by a fraction,  the numerator of which
     shall  be  the  Conversion  Price  in  effect  immediately  prior  to  such
     adjustment and the  denominator  of which shall be the Conversion  Price in
     effect immediately after such adjustment.

          (d) No adjustment in the  Conversion  Price or the number of shares of
     Common  Stock  into  which a share  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  may be
     converted shall be required  unless such  adjustment  (plus any adjustments
     not previously  made by reason of this  subparagraph  (d)) would require an
     increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number of shares of Common Stock
     into which each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is then  convertible,
     provided,  however,  that any adjustments which are not required to be made
     by reason of this  subparagraph (d) shall be carried forward and taken into
     account in any subsequent  adjustment.  All  calculations  and  adjustments
     shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest  1/100th of a share, as
     the case may be.

          (e) After each  adjustment of the  Conversion  Price the Company shall
     promptly  prepare a certificate  signed by its President or Chief Financial
     Officer and a Secretary or Assistant Secretary setting forth the Conversion
     Price, as so adjusted;  the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
     Series A Preferred  Stock may be  converted,  and a statement  of the facts
     upon which such adjustment is based, and such  certificate  shall forthwith
     be filed with the transfer agent, if any, for the Series A Preferred Stock,
     and the Company shall cause such a copy of statement to be sent by ordinary
     first class mail to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock.

          (f) In the  case  of the  issuance  of  Common  Stock  for  cash,  the
     consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before
     deducting any reasonable discounts,  commissions or other expenses allowed,
     paid or  incurred by this  Company for any  underwriting  or  otherwise  in
     connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

          (g)  In  the  case  of  the   issuance  of  the  Common  Stock  for  a
     consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration  other
     than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value  thereof  as  determined  in
     good faith by the Board of Directors.

          (h) In the case of the issuance  after the Issuance Date of options to
     purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms
     convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or
     rights to subscribe for such  convertible or exchangeable  securities,  the
     following  provisions  shall apply for all  purposes  of this  subparagraph
     6(E)(i) and subparagraph 6(E)(ii):

               (1) The  aggregate  maximum  number of  shares  of  Common  Stock
          deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions
          to exercisability,  including without limitation, the passage of time,
          but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) of
          such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall
          be deemed to have been issued at the time such  options or rights were
          issued and for a  consideration  (determined in the manner provided in
          subparagraphs  6(E)(i)(f)  and  6(E)(i)(g)),  if any,  received by the
          Company  upon the  issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum
          exercise price provided in such options or rights (without taking into
          account  potential  antidilution  adjustments)  for the  Common  Stock
          covered thereby.

               (2) The  aggregate  maximum  number of  shares  of  Common  Stock
          deliverable  upon  conversion  of or in  exchange  for  (assuming  the
          satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility  or  exchangeability,
          including, without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking
          into account potential antidilution  adjustments) any such convertible
          or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase
          or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities
          and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have
          been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or
          rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration,
          if any,  received by the Company for any such  securities  and related
          options or rights  (excluding  any cash received on account of accrued
          interest  or  accrued   dividends),   plus  the   minimum   additional
          consideration,  if any, to be received by the Company  (without taking
          into account potential  antidilution  adjustments) upon the conversion
          or exchange of such  securities or the exercise of any related options
          or rights  (the  consideration  in each case to be  determined  in the
          manner provided in subparagraphs 6(E)(i)(f) and 6(E)(i)(g)).

               (3) In the event of any  change in the number of shares of Common
          Stock deliverable or in the consideration  payable to the Company upon
          exercise  of  such  options  or  rights  or upon  conversion  of or in
          exchange for such convertible or exchangeable  securities (excluding a
          change resulting solely from the  antidilution  provisions  thereof if
          such change results from an

          event  which  gives  rise to an  antidilution  adjustment  under  this
          Paragraph 6(E)), the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock,
          to the extent in any way affected by or computed  using such  options,
          rights or securities,  shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but
          no further  adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common
          Stock or any payment of such  consideration  upon the  exercise of any
          such  options  or  rights  or  the  conversion  or  exchange  of  such
          securities.

               (4) Upon  the  expiration  of any such  options  or  rights,  the
          termination  of  any  such  rights  to  convert  or  exchange  or  the
          expiration  of any options or rights  related to such  convertible  or
          exchangeable  securities,   the  Conversion  Price  of  the  Series  A
          Preferred  Stock,  to the extent in any way  affected  by or  computed
          using such options,  rights or securities or options or rights related
          to such  securities,  shall be  recomputed  to reflect the issuance of
          only the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  (and  convertible  or
          exchangeable  securities  which remain in effect) actually issued upon
          the  exercise  of such  options  or  rights,  upon the  conversion  or
          exchange  of such  securities  or upon the  exercise of the options or
          rights related to such securities.

               (5) The number of shares of Common  Stock  deemed  issued and the
          consideration   deemed  paid   therefor   pursuant  to   subparagraphs
          6(E)(i)(h)(1)  and (2) shall be appropriately  adjusted to reflect any
          change,  termination  or  expiration  of the type  described in either
          subparagraph 6(E)(i)(h)(3) or (4).

               (6)    Notwithstanding    the    provisions   of    subparagraphs
          6(E)(i)(h)(1)-(5) above, in the event that on or after the date hereof
          the Company  issues any options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
          Common  Stock,   securities  by  their  terms   convertible   into  or
          exchangeable  for Common  Stock or options  to  purchase  or rights to
          subscribe for such  convertible  or  exchangeable  securities,  if the
          conversion or exercise price is not then  determinable  or is based on
          future  events,  such shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to be
          issued until the price is  determinable or such event has occurred and
          the  conversion  or  exercise  price  shall be subject  to  adjustment
          pursuant  to   subparagraph   6(E)(i)   above  at  the  time  of  such
          determination  or the  occurrence  of such  event even if the price is
          determined or such event occurs after such date.

          (i) In the event that the Company  fails to (i) effect a  Registration
     Statement  covering the  securities  sold in the Private  Placement  within
     seven months of the Initial Closing or (ii) make any  semi-annual  dividend
     payment  when due,  the  Conversion  Price then in effect shall be adjusted
     downward by 10%.

          (ii) The following  issuances of Common Stock ("Excluded  Securities")
     shall be excluded from the  adjustments  set forth in this  Paragraph  6(E)
     (except as otherwise set forth in Paragraph 6(E)(i)(a)):

               (a) shares of capital stock issued  pursuant to a stock  dividend
          or a stock split or other subdivision or recombination of shares;

               (b) Common Stock issued upon exercise of any warrants, options or
          other securities outstanding on the date of the Final Closing;

               (c) securities  issued by the Company in an  underwritten  public
          offering  at not less than the then market  price of the Common  Stock
          (determined in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6(G)(ii));

               (d)  securities  issued  pursuant to the direct or indirect  bona
          fide  acquisition  by the  Company of any  Person,  whether by merger,
          purchase of stock, purchase of assets or otherwise;

               (e) securities  issued upon  exercise,  conversion or exchange of
          capital stock,  rights,  options or  subscription  calls,  warrants or
          other securities;

               (f) Common Stock or options or warrants to purchase  Common Stock
          issued to officers,  directors or employees of or  consultants  to the
          Company pursuant to any compensation agreement, plan or arrangement or
          the  issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such options or
          warrants,  provided such  issuances do not exceed 10% of the Company's
          outstanding  Common Stock and preferred stock on the date of the Final
          Closing; and

          (iii) In case the Company  shall (a) issue  Common Stock as a dividend
     or distribution on any class of the capital stock of the Company, (b) split
     or  otherwise  subdivide  its  outstanding  Common  Stock,  (c) combine the
     outstanding  Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,  or (d) issue by
     reclassification  of its  Common  Stock  (except  in the case of a  merger,
     consolidation  or sale of all or  substantially  all of the  assets  of the
     Company  as set forth in  subparagraph  6(E)(iv)  below)  any shares of the
     capital  stock of the  Company,  any  shares  of the  capital  stock of the
     Company,  the  Conversion  Price in effect on the record date for any stock
     dividend or the  effective  date of any such other event shall be decreased
     (or  increased in the case of a reverse  stock split) so that the holder of
     each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall  thereafter be entitled to
     receive,  upon the conversion of such share, the number of shares of Common
     Stock or other  capital  stock which it would own or be entitled to receive
     immediately  after the happening of any of the events  mentioned  above had
     such share of the Series A Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior
     to the  close of  business  on such  record  date or  effective  date.  The
     adjustments  herein provided shall become effective  immediately  following
     the record date for any such stock  dividend or the  effective  date of any
     such other events.  There shall be no reduction in the Conversion  Price in
     the event that the Company pays a cash dividend.

          (iv) In case of any  reclassification or similar change of outstanding
     shares of Common Stock of the Company,  or in case of the  consolidation or
     merger of the Company with another corporation, or the conveyance of all or
     substantially  all of the assets of the Company in a  transaction  in which
     holders  of the  Common  Stock  receive  shares of stock or other  property
     including  cash,  each share of the Series A Preferred  Stock shall,  after
     such event and subject to the other rights of the Series A Preferred  Stock
     as set forth  elsewhere  herein,  be  convertible  only into the  number of
     shares of stock or other securities or property, including cash, to which a
     holder of the number of shares of Common  Stock of the Company  deliverable
     upon  conversion of such shares of the Series A Preferred  Stock would have
     been entitled upon such reclassification,  change, consolidation, merger or
     conveyance had such share been converted immediately prior to the effective
     date of such event.

     (F) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep  available,  out of its
authorized but unissued  shares of Common Stock or out of shares of Common Stock
held in its treasury,  solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the
shares of the  Series A  Preferred  Stock,  the full  number of shares of Common
Stock  deliverable  upon the  conversion of all shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock  from time to time  outstanding.  The  Company  shall from time to time in
accordance  with Nevada law take all steps  necessary to increase the authorized
amount of its  Common  Stock if at any time the  authorized  number of shares of
Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion
of all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.

     (G) (i) No fractional  shares or scrip  representing  fractional  shares of
Common  Stock  shall be issued  upon the  conversion  of the Series A  Preferred
Stock.  In lieu of any  fractional  shares to which a holder would  otherwise be
entitled,  the Company shall pay cash, equal to such fraction  multiplied by the
closing price  (determined  as provided in  subparagraph  (ii) of this Paragraph
6(G) of the Common Stock on the day of conversion.

          (ii) For the purposes of any computation under  subparagraph  6(G)(i),
     the  current  market  price per share of Common  Stock on any date shall be
     deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the 20 consecutive
     business days prior to the day in question.  The closing price for each day
     shall be the last sales price regular way or in case no sale takes place on
     such day, the average of the closing high bid and low asked prices  regular
     way, in either case (a) as officially  quoted by the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
     or the  Nasdaq  National  Market or such  other  market on which the Common
     Stock is then listed for trading,  or (b) if, in the reasonable judgment of
     the Board of Directors of the Company,  the Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market or the
     Nasdaq National Market is no longer the principal  United States market for
     the Common Stock,  then as quoted on the principal United States market for
     the Common  Stock,  as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company,
     or (c) if, in the  reasonable  judgment  of the Board of  Directors  of the
     Company,  there exists no  principal  United  States  market for the Common
     Stock,  then as  reasonably  determined  by the Board of  Directors  of the
     Company.

     (H) The  Company  will pay any taxes  that may be payable in respect of any
issue or  delivery  of  shares of Common  Stock on  conversion  of shares of the
Series A Preferred

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 41 of 74 Pages

Stock.  However,  the Company  shall not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect to any transfer  involved in the issue and delivery of shares
of Common Stock upon conversion in a name other than that in which the shares of
the Series A Preferred Stock so converted were registered,  and no such issue or
delivery  shall be made  unless  and until the person  requesting  such issue or
delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established,
to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.

     (I) The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, as
amended,  or through any reorganization,  recapitalization,  transfer of assets,
consolidation,  merger,  dissolution,  issue or sale of  securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company,  but will at all
times in good faith  assist in the carrying  out of all the  provisions  of this
Section  6 and in the  taking  of  all  such  action  as  may  be  necessary  or
appropriate  in order to protect  the  conversion  rights of the  holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.

     (J) No shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock  which have been  converted  to
Common Stock shall be reissued by the Company, provided,  however, that any such
share, upon being converted and cancelled, shall be restored to the status of an
authorized  but unissued  share of preferred  stock  without  designation  as to
series,  rights  or  preferences  and may  thereafter  be  issued  as a share of
preferred stock not designated as Series A Preferred Stock.

     7. Voting Rights.

     (A) In  addition to any other  rights  provided  for herein or by law,  the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote, together with the
holders of Common  Stock as one  class,  on all  matters as to which  holders of
Common  Stock shall be  entitled  to vote,  in the same manner and with the same
effect as such  Common  Stock  holders.  In any such vote each share of Series A
Preferred  Stock  shall  entitle  the holder  thereof to the number of votes per
share that  equals the  number of whole  shares of Common  Stock into which each
such share of Series A Preferred  Stock is then  convertible,  calculated to the
nearest of a share.

     (B) In the event  that the  holders  of the  Series A  Preferred  Stock are
required to vote as a class,  the  affirmative  vote of holders of not less than
two-thirds  of the  outstanding  shares of  Series A  Preferred  Stock  shall be
required  to  approve  each such  matter to be voted  upon and if any  matter is
approved by such  requisite  percentage of holders of Series A Preferred  Stock,
such matter shall bind all holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

     (C)  So  long  as any  shares  of  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  remain
outstanding,  the consent of the holders of a two-thirds of the then outstanding
Series A Preferred Stock, voting as one class, together with any other series of
preferred  stock then  entitled to vote on such  matter,  regardless  of series,
either  expressed in writing or at a meeting  called for that purpose,  shall be
necessary to permit,  effect or validate the creation and issuance of any series
of preferred

stock of the Company which is senior as to liquidation and/or dividend rights to
the Series A Preferred Stock.

     (D)  So  long  as any  shares  of  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  remain
outstanding,  the consent of two-thirds  of the holders of the then  outstanding
Series A Preferred Stock, voting as one class, either expressed in writing or at
a meeting  called for that  purpose,  shall be  necessary  to  repeal,  amend or
otherwise change this Certificate of Designation,  Preferences and Rights or the
Articles of  Incorporation of the Company,  as amended,  in a manner which would
alter or change the powers,  preferences,  rights  privileges,  restrictions and
conditions  of the  Series A  Preferred  Stock  so as to  adversely  affect  the
Preferred Stock.

     (E) Each share of the Series A  Preferred  Stock  shall  entitle the holder
thereof to one vote on all matters to be voted on by the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock, as set forth above.

     8. Miscellaneous.

     (A) There is no sinking fund with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.

     (B) The  shares  of the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  shall  not  have  any
preferences, voting powers or relative,  participating,  optional, preemptive or
other  special  rights  except  as  set  forth  above  in  this  Certificate  of
Designation,  Preferences and Rights and in the Articles of Incorporation of the
Company, as amended.

     (C) The  holders of the  Series A  Preferred  Stock  shall be  entitled  to
receive  all  communications  sent by the  Company to the  holders of the Common
Stock.

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  iMALL,  INC., Inc. has caused this  Certificate to be
signed by Richard  Rosenblatt,  its Chief Executive Officer, on this ____ day of
November,  1997,  and such person  hereby  affirms under penalty of perjury that

                               IRREVOCABLE PROXY

     For  good  and   valuable   consideration,   receipt  of  which  is  hereby
acknowledged, the undersigned,  Commonwealth Associates, hereby appoints Richard
Rosenblatt ("Rosenblatt"), the proxy of the undersigned for a period of one year
(the "Proxy Term") commencing on the date hereof, with full power to vote at any
meeting  of  iMall,  Inc.(the  "Company")  in such  manner  as he,  in his  sole
discretion,  deems  proper with respect to (i) the  12,000,000  shares of Common
Stock,  $.001 par value per share, of the Company ("Common Stock") issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company, dated December
19, 1997,  owned by the  undersigned  (the  "Warrants")  and (ii) any additional
shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in respect of the Warrants  during the
Proxy Term.

     This  proxy is  irrevocable.  At any time and from time to time  during the
Proxy Term,  the  undersigned  shall  execute and deliver to  Rosenblatt  or his
designees such additional  proxies or instruments as may be deemed by Rosenblatt
necessary or desirable  to  effectuate  the purposes of this Proxy or further to
evidence the right and powers granted hereby.

     Upon the death or disability of Rosenblatt or his no longer  serving as the
Chairman or Chief Executive  Officer of the Company,  this proxy will terminate.
This proxy shall  terminate at such time that the undersigned and its affiliates
beneficially  own less than 10% of the outstanding  Common Stock of the Company.
If the  undersigned  sells or  otherwise  transfers  any of the  Warrants or the
shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants to any affiliate of the undersigned,
such shares underlying the Warrants will remain subject to this proxy during the
remainder of the Proxy Term. If the undersigned sells or otherwise transfers any
of the  Warrants or the shares  issued upon the exercise of Warrants to a person
unaffiliated  with the undersigned,  this proxy will terminate in respect to the
shares underlying the Warrants.

                                   Exhibit 4

                                  iMALL, INC.

     SUBSCRIPTION  AGREEMENT made as of this ____ day of ________,  1997 between
iMall,  Inc., a Nevada  corporation with offices at 4400 Coldwater Canyon Blvd.,
Suite 200,  Studio City,  California  91604 (the  "Company") and the undersigned
(the "Subscriber").

     WHEREAS,  the Company desires to issue a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 150
units  ("Units") in a private  placement,  each Unit consisting of 25,000 shares
(the  "Shares") of Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  par value $.001 per
share (the "Convertible Preferred Stock")(which Shares are each convertible into
10 shares of the Company's  Common Stock,  $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"))
as described in the  Certificate of the  Designations,  Powers,  Preferences and
Rights (the "Designation") of the Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock included
as Exhibit A to the Memorandum (defined below)) and 62,500 common stock purchase
warrants  (the  "Warrants")  in the form as set forth in the  Warrant  Agreement
attached  hereto as Exhibit B on the terms and conditions  hereinafter set forth
and the  Subscriber  desires  to  acquire  the  number of Units set forth on the
signature page hereof;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  for and in  consideration  of the premises and the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

     I.   SUBSCRIPTION  FOR  UNITS  AND  REPRESENTATIONS  BY  AND  COVENANTS  OF
          SUBSCRIBER

     1.1  Subject  to the  terms  and  conditions  hereinafter  set  forth,  the
Subscriber  hereby  subscribes  for and agrees to purchase from the Company such
number of Units as is set forth upon the signature  page hereof at a price equal
to  $100,000  per  Unit,  and the  Company  agrees  to sell  such  Units  to the
Subscriber for said purchase price subject to the Company's right to sell to the
Subscriber  such  lesser  number  of  Units  as the  Company  may,  in its  sole
discretion,  deem  necessary  or  desirable.  The  purchase  price is payable by
certified or bank check made payable to United States Trust Company of New York,
as Escrow Agent for iMall, Inc., or by wire transfer of funds, contemporaneously
with the execution  and delivery of this  Subscription  Agreement.  Certificates
representing the Shares and Warrants will be delivered by the Company within ten
(10) days  following the  consummation  of this offering as set forth in Article
III hereof. The Subscriber  understands however,  that this purchase of Units is
contingent  upon the Company  making sales of a minimum of 50 Units prior to the
Termination Date as defined in Article III hereof.

     1.2 The  Subscriber  recognizes  that the purchase of Units involves a high
degree of risk in that (i) an  investment  in the Company is highly  speculative
and only  investors  who can afford the loss of their entire  investment  should
consider  investing  in the  Company  and the Units;  (ii) he may not be able to
liquidate his investment; (iii) transferability of the securities

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 46 of 74 Pages

comprising  the  Units  is  extremely  limited;  and  (iv)  in  the  event  of a
disposition, an investor could suffer the loss of his entire investment, as well
as other  risk  factors  as more  fully  set  forth  herein  and in the  Private
Placement  Memorandum  dated November 7, 1997  (including all exhibits and other
attachments thereto, the "Memorandum").

     1.3 The  Subscriber  represents  and  warrants  that  he is an  "accredited
investor" as such term in defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated  under
the United States  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),  as indicated
by his responses to the Investor Questionnaire,  and that he is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Units. The Subscriber  further  represents
and warrants that the  information  furnished in the Investor  Questionnaire  is
accurate and complete in all material respects.

     1.4 The Subscriber  acknowledges  that he has prior investment  experience,
including  investment in non-listed  and  non-registered  securities,  or he has
employed the services of an investment  advisor,  attorney or accountant to read
all of the documents  furnished or made available by the Company both to him and
to all other  prospective  investors in the Units and to evaluate the merits and
risks of such an  investment on his behalf,  and that he  recognizes  the highly
speculative nature of this investment.

     1.5  The  Subscriber   acknowledges  receipt  and  careful  review  of  the
Memorandum and all other documents furnished in connection with this transaction
(collectively,  the "Offering Documents") and hereby represents that he has been
furnished  by the  Company  during  the  course  of this  transaction  with  all
information regarding the Company which he has requested or desires to know; and
that  such  information  and  documents  have,  in  his  opinion,  afforded  the
Subscriber  with all of the same  information  that would be  provided  him in a
registration  statement  filed  under  the Act;  that he has been  afforded  the
opportunity  to ask  questions  of and  receive  answers  from  duly  authorized
officers  or other  representatives  of the  Company  concerning  the  terms and
conditions  of  the  offering,  and  any  additional  information  which  he had
requested.

     1.6 The Subscriber acknowledges that this offering of Units may involve tax
consequences and that the contents of the Offering  Documents do not contain tax
advice or information.  The Subscriber  acknowledges that he must retain his own
professional  advisors  to  evaluate  the  tax  and  other  consequences  of  an
investment in the Units.

     1.7 The  Subscriber  acknowledges  that this offering of Units has not been
reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") because
of the  Company's  representations  that  this  is  intended  to be a  nonpublic
offering pursuant to Sections 4(2) or 3(b) of the Act. The Subscriber represents
that the Shares and Warrants  comprising  his Units are being  purchased for his
own account,  for investment and not for  distribution or resale to others.  The
Subscriber  agrees that he will not sell or otherwise  transfer such  securities
unless  they are  registered  under  the Act or unless  an  exemption  from such
registration is available.

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 47 of 74 Pages

     1.8 The Subscriber  understands that the Shares and Warrants comprising the
Units have not been registered under Act by reason of a claimed  exemption under
the provisions of the Act which depends, in part, upon his investment intention.
In this  connection,  the Subscriber  understands that it is the position of the
SEC that the  statutory  basis for such  exemption  would not be  present if his
representation  merely  meant  that  his  present  intention  was to  hold  such
securities for a short period, such as the capital gains period of tax statutes,
for a deferred sale, for a market rise, assuming that a market develops,  or for
any other fixed period. The Subscriber  realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a
purchase now with an intent to resell would  represent a purchase with an intent
inconsistent with his  representation  to the Company,  and the SEC might regard
such a sale or disposition  as a deferred sale to which such  exemptions are not
available.

     1.9 The  Subscriber  understands  that  there is no public  market  for the
Shares and Warrants  comprising  the Units and that only a limited public market
exists for the  Common  Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of the  Shares,  upon
conversion of any Convertible  Preferred Stock issued as dividends in respect of
the Shares and upon exercise of the Warrants (the "Reserved  Shares").  Rule 144
(the "Rule") promulgated under the Act requires,  among other conditions,  a one
year  holding  period  prior to the resale (in limited  amounts)  of  securities
acquired in a non-public  offering  without  having to satisfy the  registration
requirements under the Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company makes no
representation  or  warranty  regarding  its  fulfillment  in the  future of any
reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
its  dissemination to the public of any current  financial or other  information
concerning  the Company,  as is required by the Rule as one of the conditions of
its availability.  The Subscriber  understands and hereby  acknowledges that the
Company is under no obligation to register the  securities  comprising the Units
under the Act, with the exception of certain registration rights relating to the
Warrants and the Reserved Shares set forth in Article IV herein.  The Subscriber
consents  that the  Company  may,  if it  desires,  permit the  transfer  of the
securities  comprising the Units or issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof

of counsel reasonably  satisfactory to the Company that neither the sale nor the
proposed  transfer  results in a violation  of the Act or any  applicable  state
"blue sky" laws  (collectively  "Securities Laws") and subject to the provisions
of Section  1.10  hereof.  The  Subscriber  agrees to hold the  Company  and its
directors,   officers  and  controlling  persons  and  their  respective  heirs,
representatives,  successors and assigns  harmless and to indemnify them against

Securities Laws.

     1.10 Notwithstanding any registration  statement covering the resale of the
Warrants and the Reserved Shares,  the Subscriber agrees not to sell,  transfer,
assign,  hypothecate  or  otherwise  dispose of the Shares,  the Warrants or the
Reserved  Shares  for a period  of one year from the  final  Closing;  provided,
however,  that nothing  contained in this Section 1.10 shall prevent  holders of
the Shares from exercising their right of conversion pursuant to Section 6(A) of
the

     1.16 The Subscriber  acknowledges that at such time, if ever, as any of the

securities laws, including those of states which may require any securities sold
therein to be sold through a  registered  broker-dealer  or in reliance  upon an
exemption from registration.

     1.17 The  Subscriber  acknowledges  that the maximum  number of Units to be
sold  pursuant to the  Memorandum  may be  increased,  at the  discretion of the

described in Section 4.3 for the  registration  statement filed pursuant to this

the Holders, which shall be borne by the Holders.

     The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company may defer any such \registration
pursuant  to this  Section 4.1 for a period of not more than ninety (90) days if
the  Company's  Board of Directors  determines in good faith that it would be in
the best interest of shareholders to do so.

registration  statement,  except that the  Company  shall not for any purpose be
required to execute a general  consent to service of process or to qualify to do
business  as a foreign  corporation  in any  jurisdiction  wherein  it is not so
qualified;

          (e) notify the security holders  participating  in such  registration,

registration  statement has become  effective or a supplement to any  prospectus
forming a part of such registration statement has been filed;

          (f) notify  such  holders  promptly  of any request by the SEC for the
amending or  supplementing of such  registration  statement or prospectus or for
additional information;

such holders,  any amendments or supplements to such  registration  statement or
prospectus  which,  in the opinion of counsel for such holders (and concurred in
by  counsel  for the  Company),  is  required  under  the Act or the  rules  and
regulations  thereunder in connection  with the  distribution of Common Stock by
such holder;

          (h) prepare and promptly  file with the SEC and  promptly  notify such
holders of the  filing of such  amendment  or  supplement  to such  registration
statement  or  prospectus  as may be  necessary  to correct  any  statements  or
omissions  if, at the time when a  prospectus  relating  to such  securities  is
required to be  delivered  under the Act,  any event shall have  occurred as the
result of which any such  prospectus  or any other  prospectus as then in effect
would  include  an  untrue  statement  of a  material  fact or omit to state any
material  fact  necessary to make the  statements  therein,  in the light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; and

          (i) advise such holders,  promptly  after it shall  receive  notice or
obtain  knowledge  thereof,  of  the  issuance  of any  stop  order  by the  SEC
suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use its best efforts
to prevent the  issuance of any stop order or to obtain its  withdrawal  if such
stop order should be issued.

controls such holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Act, from and
against,   and  will  reimburse  such  holder  and  each  such  underwriter  and
controlling  person with respect to, any and all loss, damage,  liability,  cost
and expense to which such holder or any such  underwriter or controlling  person
may become subject under the Act or otherwise,  insofar as such losses, damages,
liabilities,  costs or expenses  are caused by any untrue  statement  or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration  statement,
any  prospectus  contained  therein or any amendment or supplement  thereto,  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,  in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading;  provided,  however, that the Company will not be liable in any such
case to the  extent  that any such loss,  damage,  liability,  cost or  expenses
arises out of or is based upon an untrue  statement or alleged untrue  statement
or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished
by  such  holder,  such  underwriter  or  such  controlling  person  in  writing
specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

          (b) Each holder of Registrable  Securities  included in a registration

                                                             Page 54 of 74 Pages

controlling  person and/or any  underwriter  may become subject under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages,  liabilities,  costs or expenses are
caused by any untrue  statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in such registration  statement,  any prospectus  contained therein or
any  amendment  or  supplement  thereto,  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,  in light of the
circumstances  in which  they were  made,  not  misleading,  in each case to the
extent,  but only to the extent,  that such untrue  statement or alleged  untrue
statement or omission or alleged  omission  was so made in reliance  upon and in
strict  conformity  with written  information  furnished by or on behalf of such
holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

          (c) Promptly  after receipt by an  indemnified  party  pursuant to the
provisions  of  paragraph  (a) or (b)  of  this  Section  4.4 of  notice  of the
commencement  of any  action  involving  the  subject  matter  of the  foregoing
indemnity  provisions such  indemnified  party will, if a claim thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of said paragraph
(a) or (b), promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement  thereof;
but the  omission to so notify the  indemnifying  party will not relieve it from
any  liability  which  it may  have  to any  indemnified  party  otherwise  than
hereunder.  In case such action is brought against any indemnified  party and it
notifies the indemnifying  party of the commencement  thereof,  the indemnifying
party  shall have the right to  participate  in,  and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying  party similarly  notified,  to assume
the defense  thereof,  with  counsel  satisfactory  to such  indemnified  party,
provided, however, if counsel for the indemnifying party concludes that a single
counsel cannot under applicable legal and ethical considerations, represent both
the  indemnifying  party and the indemnified  party,  the  indemnified  party or
parties have the right to select separate  counsel to participate in the defense
of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from
the indemnifying  party to such  indemnified  party of its election so to assume
the  defense  thereof,  the  indemnifying  party  will  not be  liable  to  such
indemnified  party  pursuant to the  provisions of said paragraph (a) or (b) for
any legal or other expense  subsequently  incurred by such indemnified  party in
connection   with  the  defense   thereof   other  than   reasonable   costs  of
investigation,  unless (i) the indemnified  party shall have employed counsel in
accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence,  (ii) the indemnifying
party shall not have employed counsel  satisfactory to the indemnified  party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after the notice of the
commencement  of the action or (iii) the  indemnifying  party has authorized the
employment  of  counsel  for  the  indemnified  party  at  the  expense  of  the
indemnifying party.

qualified with the  Commissioner  of Corporations of the State of California and
the  issuance  of such  securities  or the payment or receipt of any part of the
consideration  for such  securities  prior to such  qualification  is  unlawful,
unless the sale of securities  is exempt from  qualification  by Section  25100,
25102 or 25105 of the California Corporations Code. The rights of all parties to
this agreement are expressly conditioned upon such qualification being obtained,
unless the sale is so exempt.

registered under the Connecticut  Uniform Securities Act, as amended (the "Act")

                                    Exhibit 5

                        WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

                                       OF

                                   iMALL, INC.

            This  is  to  Certify  That,   FOR  VALUE   RECEIVED,   Commonwealth
Associates,  or assigns  ("Holder"),  is  entitled to  purchase,  subject to the
provisions of this Warrant, from iMall, Inc., a Nevada corporation  ("Company"),
Five Million (5,000,000) fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable  shares of
Common Stock of the Company ("Common Stock") at a price of $.40 per share at any
time or from time to time  during  the  period  from  December  19,  1997  until
December 5, 2002.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be received  upon the
exercise of this Warrant and the price to be paid for each share of Common Stock
may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The shares of Common
Stock  deliverable  upon such  exercise,  and as adjusted from time to time, are
hereinafter  sometimes referred to as "Warrant Shares" and the exercise price of
a share of Common Stock in effect at any time and as adjusted  from time to time
is  hereinafter  sometimes  referred to as the "Exercise  Price".  This Warrant,
together with  warrants of like tenor,  constituting  in the aggregate  warrants
(the  "Warrants") to purchase  5,000,000  shares of Common Stock, was originally
issued  pursuant to an agency  agreement  between  the Company and  Commonwealth
Associates  ("Commonwealth"),  in  connection  with a  private  offering  of the
Company's securities through Commonwealth (the "Private Placement").

      (a)   EXERCISE OF WARRANT; CANCELLATION OF WARRANT.

            (1) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or
from time to time on or after  December 15, 1997 and until December 5, 2002 (the
"Exercise  Period"),  subject  to  the  provisions  of  Section  (j)(2)  hereof;
provided,  however,  that  (i) if  either  such  day is a day on  which  banking
institutions  in the State of New York are  authorized by law to close,  then on
the next  succeeding day which shall not be such a day, and (ii) in the event of
any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all the assets of the Company
as an entirety,  resulting in any  distribution  to the Company's  stockholders,
prior to December  5, 2002,  the Holder  shall have the right to  exercise  this
Warrant  commencing  at such  time  through  December  5, 2002 into the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other  securities  and property  (including  cash)
receivable  by a holder of the number of shares of Common  Stock into which this
Warrant might have been exercisable  immediately prior thereto. This Warrant may
be  exercised  by  presentation  and  surrender  hereof  to the  Company  at its
principal office, or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the
Purchase  Form annexed  hereto duly executed and  accompanied  by payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares  specified in such form. As soon
as practicable after each such

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 60 of 74 Pages

exercise  of the  warrants,  but not later  than seven (7) days from the date of
such  exercise,  the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate
or certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, registered in
the name of the Holder or its designee.  If this Warrant  should be exercised in
part only, the Company shall,  upon surrender of this Warrant for  cancellation,
execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to
purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable thereunder.  Upon receipt
by the Company of this Warrant at its office,  or by the stock transfer agent of
the Company at its  office,  in proper form for  exercise,  the Holder  shall be
deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon
such  exercise,  notwithstanding  that the stock  transfer  books of the Company
shall then be closed or that  certificates  representing  such  shares of Common
Stock shall not then be physically delivered to the Holder.

            (2) At any time during the Exercise  Period,  the Holder may, at its
option, exchange this Warrant, in whole or in part (a "Warrant Exchange"),  into
the number of Warrant Shares  determined in accordance with this Section (a)(2),
by  surrendering  this Warrant at the principal  office of the Company or at the
office  of its  stock  transfer  agent,  accompanied  by a notice  stating  such
Holder's  intent to effect  such  exchange,  the number of Warrant  Shares to be
exchanged and the date on which the Holder  requests that such Warrant  Exchange
occur (the "Notice of Exchange").  The Warrant  Exchange shall take place on the
date  specified in the Notice of Exchange  or, if later,  the date the Notice of
Exchange is received by the Company (the "Exchange Date").  Certificates for the
shares issuable upon such Warrant Exchange and, if applicable,  a new warrant of
like  tenor  evidencing  the  balance of the  shares  remaining  subject to this
Warrant,  shall be issued as of the  Exchange  Date and  delivered to the Holder
within  seven (7) days  following  the Exchange  Date.  In  connection  with any
Warrant  Exchange,  this Warrant shall  represent the right to subscribe for and
acquire the number of Warrant Shares (rounded to the next highest integer) equal
to (i) the number of  Warrant  Shares  specified  by the Holder in its Notice of
Exchange (the "Total  Number")  less (ii) the number of Warrant  Shares equal to
the  quotient  obtained by dividing  (A) the product of the Total Number and the
existing  Exercise  Price by (B) the current  market  value of a share of Common
Stock.  Current market value shall have the meaning set forth Section (c) below,
except that for purposes hereof,  the date of exercise,  as used in such Section
(c), shall mean the Exchange Date.

      (b)  RESERVATION  OF SHARES.  The Company  shall at all times  reserve for
issuance  and/or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of
its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of
the Warrants.

      (c)  FRACTIONAL  SHARES.  No  fractional  shares  or  script  representing
fractional  shares  shall be issued  upon the  exercise  of this  Warrant.  With
respect to any  fraction of a share  called for upon any  exercise  hereof,  the
Company  shall  pay to the  Holder  an  amount  in cash  equal to such  fraction
multiplied by the current market value of a share, determined as follows:

            (1) If the Common Stock is listed on a national  securities exchange
      or admitted to unlisted trading  privileges on such exchange or listed for
      trading on the Nasdaq National  Market,  the current market value shall be
      the last  reported  sale price of the  Common  Stock on such  exchange  or
      market  on the last  business  day prior to the date of  exercise  of this
      Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day,  the  average  closing bid
      and asked prices for such day on such exchange or market; or

            (2) If the Common  Stock is not so listed or  admitted  to  unlisted
      trading  privileges,  but is traded on the  Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market,  the
      current  market  value  shall be the  average of the closing bid and asked
      prices  for  such day on such  market  and if the  Common  Stock is not so
      traded,  the current  market value shall be the mean of the last  reported
      bid and asked prices reported by the National  Quotation  Bureau,  Inc. on
      the last  business day prior to the date of the exercise of this  Warrant;
      or

            (3) If the Common  Stock is not so listed or  admitted  to  unlisted
      trading  privileges  and bid and asked  prices  are not so  reported,  the
      current market value shall be an amount,  not less than book value thereof
      as at the end of the most recent  fiscal year of the Company  ending prior
      to the date of the exercise of the Warrant,  determined in such reasonable
      manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

      (d) EXCHANGE,  TRANSFER,  ASSIGNMENT  OR LOSS OF WARRANT.  This Warrant is
exchangeable,  without expense,  at the option of the Holder,  upon presentation
and  surrender  hereof to the  Company  or at the  office of its stock  transfer
agent,  if any, for other  warrants of  different  denominations  entitling  the
holder  thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common
Stock  purchasable  hereunder.  Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at
its principal  office or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with
the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer  tax,  the Company  shall,  without  charge,  execute and deliver a new
Warrant in the name of the assignee  named in such  instrument of assignment and
this  Warrant  shall  promptly  be  cancelled.  This  Warrant  may be divided or
combined  with other  warrants  which carry the same  rights  upon  presentation
hereof at the  principal  office of the  Company  or at the  office of its stock
transfer agent, if any,  together with a written notice specifying the names and
denominations  in which new  Warrants  are to be issued and signed by the Holder
hereof.  The term "Warrant" as used herein includes any Warrants into which this
Warrant  may be divided or  exchanged.  Upon  receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory  to it of the  loss,  theft,  destruction  or  mutilation  of  this
Warrant,  and  (in  the  case of  loss,  theft  or  destruction)  of  reasonably
satisfactory  indemnification,  and  upon  surrender  and  cancellation  of this
Warrant,  if  mutilated,  the Company  will execute and deliver a new Warrant of
like  tenor  and  date.  Any such  new  Warrant  executed  and  delivered  shall
constitute  an  additional  contractual  obligation  on the part of the Company,
whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at
any time enforceable by anyone.

      (e) RIGHTS OF THE  HOLDER.  The Holder  shall not,  by virtue  hereof,  be
entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those  expressed  in the Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

      (f)  ANTI-DILUTION  PROVISIONS.  Subject  to the  provisions  of Section k
hereof,  the  Exercise  Price in effect at any time and the  number  and kind of
securities  purchasable  upon the exercise of the  Warrants  shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

            (1) In case the  Company  shall  (i)  declare a  dividend  or make a
      distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common
      Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock
      into a greater  number of  shares,  or (iii)  combine  or  reclassify  its
      outstanding  shares of Common Stock into a smaller  number of shares,  the
      Exercise  Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend
      or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision,  combination
      or  reclassification  shall be  adjusted  so that it shall equal the price
      determined  by  multiplying   the  Exercise  Price  by  a  fraction,   the
      denominator  of which  shall be the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
      outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the numerator of which
      shall be the  number of shares of  Common  Stock  outstanding  immediately
      prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively  whenever
      any event listed above shall occur.

            (2) In case the Company  shall fix a record date for the issuance of
      rights or warrants to all holders of its Common  Stock  entitling  them to
      subscribe  for  or  purchase   shares  of  Common  Stock  (or   securities
      convertible into Common Stock) at a price (the  "Subscription  Price") (or
      having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price of
      the Common Stock (as defined in  Subsection  (8) below) on the record date
      mentioned  below,  or less than the Exercise Price on such record date the
      Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the lower of
      (i) the price  determined  by  multiplying  the  Exercise  Price in effect
      immediately  prior  to the  date  of  such  issuance  by a  fraction,  the
      numerator  of which  shall be the sum of the  number  of  shares of Common
      Stock  outstanding  on the record date  mentioned  below and the number of
      additional  shares of Common Stock which the aggregate  offering  price of
      the total  number of shares of Common  Stock so offered (or the  aggregate
      conversion price of the convertible  securities so offered) would purchase
      at such  current  market  price per  share of the  Common  Stock,  and the
      denominator  of which  shall be the sum of the  number of shares of Common
      Stock  outstanding on such record date and the number of additional shares
      of Common Stock  offered for  subscription  or purchase (or into which the
      convertible  securities so offered are  convertible)  or (ii) in the event
      the Subscription Price is equal to or higher than the current market price
      but is less than the Exercise Price, the price

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 63 of 74 Pages

      determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect  immediately  prior
      to the date of issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
      sum of the number of shares outstanding on the record date mentioned below
      and the number of  additional  shares of Common Stock which the  aggregate
      offering  price of the total  number of shares of Common  Stock so offered
      (or the  aggregate  conversion  price  of the  convertible  securities  so
      offered) would purchase at the Exercise Price in effect  immediately prior
      to the date of such  issuance,  and the  denominator of which shall be the
      sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date
      mentioned  below and the  number  of  additional  shares  of Common  Stock
      offered  for  subscription  or  purchase  (or into  which the  convertible
      securities  so offered are  convertible).  Such  adjustment  shall be made
      successively  whenever such rights or warrants are issued and shall become
      effective  immediately  after the  record  date for the  determination  of
      shareholders  entitled  to receive  such  rights or  warrants;  and to the
      extent  that  shares of  Common  Stock are not  delivered  (or  securities
      convertible  into Common Stock are not delivered)  after the expiration of
      such rights or warrants  the  Exercise  Price shall be  readjusted  to the
      Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon
      the  issuance  of such  rights  or  warrants  been  made upon the basis of
      delivery  of only the  number of shares  of  Common  Stock (or  securities
      convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered.

            (3) In case the Company shall hereafter distribute to the holders of
      its Common Stock evidences of its  indebtedness or assets  (excluding cash
      dividends or distributions  and dividends or distributions  referred to in
      Subsection (1) above) or subscription  rights or warrants (excluding those
      referred to in Subsection (2) above),  then in each such case the Exercise
      Price in effect thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise
      Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction,  the numerator of
      which  shall be the total  number of  shares of Common  Stock  outstanding
      multiplied  by the  current  market  price per  share of Common  Stock (as
      defined  in  Subsection  (8)  below),  less  the  fair  market  value  (as
      determined  by the  Company's  Board  of  Directors)  of  said  assets  or
      evidences of  indebtedness  so  distributed or of such rights or warrants,
      and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
      Stock  outstanding  multiplied  by such current  market price per share of
      Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made  successively  whenever such a
      record date is fixed.  Such  adjustment  shall be made  whenever  any such
      distribution  is made and shall  become  effective  immediately  after the
      record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
      distribution.

            (4) In case the  Company  shall  issue  shares of its  Common  Stock
      [excluding  shares  issued  (i) in any of the  transactions  described  in
      Subsection  (1)  above,  (ii) upon  exercise  of  options  granted  to the
      Company's  employees  under a plan or plans adopted by the Company's Board
      of Directors and approved by its

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 64 of 74 Pages

      shareholders,   if  such  shares  would  otherwise  be  included  in  this
      Subsection  (4),  (but only to the  extent  that the  aggregate  number of
      shares excluded hereby and issued after the date hereof,  shall not exceed
      5% of the Company's Common Stock outstanding at the time of any issuance),
      (iii) upon  exercise of options and warrants  outstanding  at December 15,
      1997,  and this  Warrant (iv) to  shareholders  of any  corporation  which
      merges into the  Company in  proportion  to their  stock  holdings of such
      corporation  immediately  prior to such merger,  upon such merger,  or (v)
      issued  in a bona  fide  public  offering  pursuant  to a firm  commitment
      underwriting,  but only if no adjustment is required pursuant to any other
      specific  subsection of this Section (f) (without regard to Subsection (9)
      below) with respect to the  transaction  giving rise to such rights] for a
      consideration  per share  (the  "Offering  Price")  less than the  current
      market  price per share [as defined in  Subsection  (8) below] on the date
      the Company  fixes the offering  price of such  additional  shares or less
      than the Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted  immediately
      thereafter so that it shall equal the lower of (i) the price determined by
      multiplying  the Exercise Price in effect  immediately  prior thereto by a
      fraction,  the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares
      of Common  Stock  outstanding  immediately  prior to the  issuance of such
      additional  shares  and the  number of shares  of Common  Stock  which the
      aggregate consideration received [determined as provided in Subsection (7)
      below] for the issuance of such  additional  shares would purchase at such
      current  market price per share of Common Stock,  and the  denominator  of
      which  shall  be  the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock   outstanding
      immediately  after the issuance of such  additional  shares or (ii) in the
      event the  Offering  Price is equal to or higher than the  current  market
      price per share but less than the Exercise Price,  the price determined by
      multiplying the Exercise Price in effect  immediately prior to the date of
      issuance  by a  fraction,  the  numerator  of which shall be the number of
      shares of Common Stock  outstanding  immediately  prior to the issuance of
      such additional  shares and the number of shares of Common Stock which the
      aggregate consideration received [determined as provided in subsection (7)
      below] for the issuance of such  additional  shares would  purchase at the
      Exercise Price in effect  immediately  prior to the date of such issuance,
      and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
      outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares. Such
      adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made.

            (5) In case the Company shall issue any securities  convertible into
      or  exchangeable  for its Common  Stock  [excluding  securities  issued in
      transactions   described  in   Subsections   (2)  and  (3)  above]  for  a
      consideration per share of Common Stock (the "Conversion Price") initially
      deliverable upon conversion or exchange of such securities  [determined as
      provided in Subsection  (7) below] less than the current  market price per
      share [as defined in Subsection (8) below] in effect  immediately prior to
      the  issuance of such  securities,  or less than the Exercise  Price,  the
      Exercise

      Price shall be adjusted immediately  thereafter so that it shall equal the
      lower of (i) the price  determined by  multiplying  the Exercise  Price in
      effect  immediately  prior  thereto by a fraction,  the numerator of which
      shall be the sum of the  number  of shares  of  Common  Stock  outstanding
      immediately  prior to the  issuance of such  securities  and the number of
      shares  of  Common  Stock  which  the  aggregate   consideration  received
      [determined as provided in Subsection (7) below] for such securities would
      purchase at such current  market price per share of Common Stock,  and the
      denominator  of which  shall be the sum of the  number of shares of Common
      Stock  outstanding  immediately  prior to such  issuance  and the  maximum
      number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  of  the  Company  deliverable  upon
      conversion of or in exchange for such securities at the initial conversion
      or  exchange  price or rate or (ii) in the event the  Conversion  Price is
      equal to or higher than the current  market  price per share but less than
      the Exercise Price, the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price
      in effect  immediately  prior to the date of issuance  by a fraction,  the
      numerator  of which  shall be the sum of the number of shares  outstanding
      immediately  prior to the  issuance of such  securities  and the number of
      shares  of  Common  Stock  which  the  aggregate   consideration  received
      [determined as provided in subsection (7) below] for such securities would
      purchase at the Exercise Price in effect  immediately prior to the date of
      such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number
      of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of
      such  securities  and the maximum  number of shares of Common Stock of the
      Company  deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for such securities
      at the initial conversion or exchange price or rate. Such adjustment shall
      be made successively whenever such an issuance is made.

            (6)  Whenever  the  Exercise  Price  payable  upon  exercise of each
      Warrant is adjusted  pursuant to  Subsections  (1),  (2), (3), (4) and (5)
      above,  the number of Shares  purchasable  upon  exercise of this  Warrant
      shall  simultaneously  be  adjusted  by  multiplying  the number of Shares
      initially  issuable upon exercise of this Warrant by the Exercise Price in
      effect on the date  hereof and  dividing  the  product so  obtained by the
      Exercise Price, as adjusted.

            (7)  For  purposes  of  any  computation  respecting   consideration
      received  pursuant to Subsections  (4) and (5) above,  the following shall
      apply:

                  (A) in the case of the  issuance of shares of Common Stock for
            cash, the consideration  shall be the amount of such cash,  provided
            that in no case  shall any  deduction  be made for any  commissions,
            discounts  or  other  expenses  incurred  by  the  Company  for  any
            underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;

                  (B) in the case of the  issuance of shares of Common Stock for
            a   consideration   in  whole  or  in  part  other  than  cash,  the
            consideration  other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market
            value  thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
            of the Company  (irrespective of the accounting  treatment thereof),
            whose determination shall be conclusive; and

                  (C) in the case of the issuance of securities convertible into
            or   exchangeable   for  shares  of  Common  Stock,   the  aggregate
            consideration   received   therefor   shall  be  deemed  to  be  the
            consideration  received  by the  Company  for the  issuance  of such
            securities plus the additional minimum consideration,  if any, to be
            received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof [the
            consideration  in each case to be  determined  in the same manner as
            provided in clauses (A) and (B) of this Subsection (7)].

            (8) For the purpose of any computation  under  Subsections (2), (3),
      (4) and (5) above,  the current  market price per share of Common Stock at
      any date shall be determined in the manner set forth in Section (c) hereof
      except that the current  market  price per share shall be deemed to be the
      higher of (i) the average of the prices for 30  consecutive  business days
      before  such  date or (ii)  the  price  on the  business  day  immediately
      preceding such date.

            (9) No  adjustment  in the Exercise  Price shall be required  unless
      such  adjustment  would  require an  increase or decrease of at least five
      cents ($0.05) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which
      by reason of this  Subsection  (9) are not  required  to be made  shall be
      carried  forward  and taken  into  account  in any  subsequent  adjustment
      required to be made  hereunder.  All  calculations  under this Section (f)
      shall be made to the  nearest  cent or to the nearest  one-hundredth  of a
      share,  as the case may be.  Anything in this  Section (f) to the contrary
      notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be required,
      to make such changes in the Exercise  Price, in addition to those required
      by this Section (f), as it shall determine, in its sole discretion,  to be
      advisable in order that any dividend or  distribution  in shares of Common
      Stock,  or any  subdivision,  reclassification  or  combination  of Common
      Stock,  hereafter  made by the  Company  shall not  result in any  Federal
      Income  tax  liability  to the  holders  of  Common  Stock  or  securities
      convertible into Common Stock (including Warrants).

            (10) Whenever the Exercise  Price is adjusted,  as herein  provided,
      the Company shall promptly but no later than 10 days after any request for
      such an  adjustment  by the  Holder,  cause a  notice  setting  forth  the
      adjusted  Exercise  Price and  adjusted  number of  Shares  issuable  upon
      exercise of each Warrant,  and, if requested,  information  describing the
      transactions giving rise to such adjustments,  to be mailed to the Holders
      at their last addresses appearing in the Warrant Register, and shall

                                                             Page 67 of 74 Pages

      cause a certified copy thereof to be mailed to its transfer agent, if any.
      In the event the Company  does not provide the Holder with such notice and
      information   within  10  days  of  a   request   by  the   Holder,   then
      notwithstanding  the  provisions  of this Section (f), the Exercise  Price
      shall  be  immediately  adjusted  to  equal  the  lowest  Offering  Price,
      Subscription  Price or Conversion Price, as applicable,  since the date of
      this  Warrant,  and the number of shares  issuable  upon  exercise of this
      Warrant  shall be adjusted  accordingly.  The Company may retain a firm of
      independent   certified  public  accountants  selected  by  the  Board  of
      Directors (who may be the regular accountants  employed by the Company) to
      make any  computation  required by this  Section  (f),  and a  certificate
      signed by such firm shall be  conclusive  evidence of the  correctness  of
      such adjustment.

            (11) In the  event  that at any time,  as a result of an  adjustment
      made  pursuant  to  Subsection  (1)  above,  the  Holder  of this  Warrant
      thereafter  shall  become  entitled to receive any shares of the  Company,
      other than Common  Stock,  thereafter  the number of such other  shares so
      receivable  upon  exercise of this Warrant  shall be subject to adjustment
      from  time to time in a  manner  and on  terms  as  nearly  equivalent  as
      practicable to the provisions  with respect to the Common Stock  contained
      in Subsections (1) to (9), inclusive above.

            (12)  Irrespective  of any  adjustments in the Exercise Price or the
      number  or kind of  shares  purchasable  upon  exercise  of this  Warrant,
      Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same
      price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the similar  Warrants
      initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

      (g) OFFICER'S  CERTIFICATE.  Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
as  required by the  provisions  of the  foregoing  Section,  the Company  shall
forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant  Secretary at its
principal  office  and with its  stock  transfer  agent,  if any,  an  officer's
certificate  showing the adjusted  Exercise Price determined as herein provided,
setting  forth  in  reasonable  detail  the  facts  requiring  such  adjustment,
including a statement of the number of  additional  shares of Common  Stock,  if
any,  and such other facts as shall be  necessary to show the reason for and the
manner of computing such adjustment.  Each such officer's  certificate  shall be
made  available  at all  reasonable  times for  inspection  by the holder or any
holder of a Warrant  executed  and  delivered  pursuant  to Section  (a) and the
Company shall,  forthwith after each such  adjustment,  mail a copy by certified
mail of such certificate to the Holder or any such holder.

      (h)  NOTICES  TO  WARRANT  HOLDERS.  So  long  as this  Warrant  shall  be
outstanding,  (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution
upon the  Common  Stock or (ii) if the  Company  shall  offer to the  holders of
Common Stock for  subscription or purchase by them any share of any class or any
other rights or (iii) if any capital reorganization of the

Company,  reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into another corporation,  sale, lease or transfer
of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another
corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution,  liquidation or winding up
of the Company shall be effected, then in any such case, the Company shall cause
to be mailed by certified  mail to the Holder,  at least  fifteen days prior the
date  specified in (x) or (y) below,  as the case may be, a notice  containing a
brief  description  of the  proposed  action and stating the date on which (x) a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,  distribution or rights,
or (y) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
lease, dissolution,  liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if
any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock or other  securities
shall receive cash or other  property  deliverable  upon such  reclassification,
reorganization,  consolidation,  merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up.

      (i)   RECLASSIFICATION,   REORGANIZATION   OR  MERGER.   In  case  of  any
reclassification,  capital  reorganization or other change of outstanding shares
of Common Stock of the Company, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another  corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary
in which  merger the Company is the  continuing  corporation  and which does not
result  in any  reclassification,  capital  reorganization  or other  change  of
outstanding  shares of Common Stock of the class  issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant) or in case of any sale,  lease or conveyance to another  corporation of
the property of the Company as an entirety,  the Company  shall,  as a condition
precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that the
Holder shall have the right  thereafter by  exercising  this Warrant at any time
prior to the  expiration  of the  Warrant,  to  purchase  the kind and amount of
shares  of  stock  and  other  securities  and  property  receivable  upon  such
reclassification,   capital  reorganization  and  other  change,  consolidation,
merger,  sale or  conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
which might have been purchased upon exercise of this Warrant  immediately prior
to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any
such provision shall include  provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent  as may  be  practicable  to the  adjustments  provided  for in  this
Warrant.  The foregoing  provisions of this Section (i) shall similarly apply to
successive  reclassifications,  capital reorganizations and changes of shares of
Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. In
the  event  that  in  connection  with  any  such  capital   reorganization   or
reclassification,  consolidation,  merger, sale or conveyance, additional shares
of Common  Stock  shall be  issued  in  exchange,  conversion,  substitution  or
payment,  in whole or in part,  for a security of the Company  other than Common
Stock,  any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Common  Stock  covered by
the provisions of Subsection (1) of Section (f) hereof.

      (j) REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

            (1)  Commencing  December  5,  1998  until  December  5,  2004  (the
      "Registration Rights Period"), the Company shall advise the Holder of this
      Warrant or of the Warrant Shares or any then holder of Warrants or Warrant
      Shares (such

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 69 of 74 Pages

      persons  being  collectively  referred to herein as  "holders") by written
      notice  at least  four  weeks  prior  to the  filing  of any  registration
      statement  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended  (the  "Act")
      covering  securities  of the  Company  and  upon the  request  of any such
      holder, include in any such registration statement such information as may
      be  required to permit a public  offering  of the  Warrants or the Warrant
      Shares.  The Company shall supply  prospectuses and other documents as the
      Holder  may  request  in  order to  facilitate  the  public  sale or other
      disposition  of the Warrants or Warrant  Shares,  qualify the Warrants and
      the Warrant  Shares for sale in such states as any such holder  designates
      and do any and all  other  acts  and  things  which  may be  necessary  or
      desirable  to enable such Holders to  consummate  the public sale or other
      disposition of the Warrants or Warrant Shares, and furnish indemnification
      in the manner as set forth in Subsection  (3)(C) of this Section (j). Such
      holders  shall furnish  information  and  indemnification  as set forth in
      Subsection  (3)(C) of this  Section  (j),  except that the maximum  amount
      which may be  recovered  from the Holder shall be limited to the amount of
      proceeds  received by the Holder from the sale of the  Warrants or Warrant
      Shares.

            (2)  If  Commonwealth  or  any  "majority  owner"  (the  "Requesting
      Holder")  shall  give  notice  to the  Company  at  any  time  during  the
      Registration Rights Period to the effect that such holder contemplates (i)
      the  transfer  of all or any part of his or its  Warrants  and/or  Warrant
      Shares,  or (ii) the exercise and/or  conversion of all or any part of his
      or its Warrants and the transfer of all or any part of the Warrants and/or
      Warrant Shares under such circumstances that a public offering (within the
      meaning of the Act) of Warrants  and/or  Warrant  Shares will be involved,
      and desires to register  under the Act,  the  Warrants  and/or the Warrant
      Shares,  then the Company  shall,  within four weeks after receipt of such
      notice,  file a  registration  statement on Form S-1 or such other form as
      the holder  requests,  pursuant to the Act,  to the end that the  Warrants
      and/or Warrant Shares may be sold under the Act as promptly as practicable
      thereafter  and the  Company  will use its  best  efforts  to  cause  such
      registration  to become  effective and continue to be effective  (current)
      (including the taking of such steps as are necessary to obtain the removal
      of any stop order)  until the holder has advised  that all of the Warrants
      and/or  Warrant  Shares have been sold;  provided  that such holder  shall
      furnish  the  Company  with  appropriate   information  (relating  to  the
      intentions of such  holders) in connection  therewith as the Company shall
      reasonably  request in writing.  The Requesting Holder may, at its option,
      request  the  registration  of the  Warrants  and/or  Warrant  Shares in a
      registration  statement made by the Company as  contemplated by Subsection
      (1) of this Section (j) or in  connection  with a request made pursuant to
      Subsection (2) of this Section (j) prior to the acquisition of the Warrant
      Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and even though the Requesting Holder
      has  not  given  notice  of  exercise  of the  Warrants.  If  the  Company
      determines  to  include  securities  to be sold by it in any  registration
      statement originally requested pursuant to this Subsection (2) of this

<PAGE>

                                                             Page 70 of 74 Pages

      Section  (j),  such  registration  shall  instead be deemed to have been a
      registration  under  Subsection  (1) of this  Section  (j)  and not  under
      Subsection  (2)  of  this  Subsection  (j).  The  Requesting   Holder  may
      thereafter  at its option,  exercise the Warrants at any time or from time
      to time subsequent to the effectiveness  under the Act of the registration
      statement in which the Warrant Shares were included.

            (3) The  following  provision  of this  Section  (j)  shall  also be
      applicable:

                  (A) Within ten days after  receiving any such notice  pursuant
            to Subsection (2) of this Section (j), the Company shall give notice
            to the other holders of Warrants and Warrant  Shares,  advising that
            the  Company is  proceeding  with such  registration  statement  and
            offering to include  therein  Warrants and/or Warrant Shares of such
            other  holders,  provided  that they shall  furnish the Company with
            such  appropriate  information  (relating to the  intentions of such
            holders) in  connection  therewith as the Company  shall  reasonably
            request  in  writing.   Following   the   effective   date  of  such
            registration,  the  Company  shall upon the  request of any owner of
            Warrants  and/or  Warrant Shares  forthwith  supply such a number of
            prospectuses  meeting  the  requirements  of the  Act,  as  shall be
            requested  by such  owner to  permit  such  holder  to make a public
            offering of all  Warrants  and/or  Warrant  Shares from time to time
            offered or sold to such holder, provided that such holder shall from
            time to time furnish the Company with such  appropriate  information
            (relating to the intentions of such holder) in connection  therewith
            as the Company shall request in writing.  The Company shall also use
            its best  efforts to  qualify  the  Warrant  Shares for sale in such
            states as the Requesting Holder shall designate.

                  (B) The Company  shall bear the entire cost and expense of any
            registration of securities  initiated by it under  Subsection (1) of
            this Section (j) notwithstanding that Warrants and/or Warrant Shares
            subject to this  Warrant may be  included in any such  registration.
            The Company shall also comply with one request for registration made
            by the majority  holder  pursuant to Subsection  (2) of this Section
            (j) at its own  expense  and  without  charge  to any  holder of any
            Warrants  and/or Warrant  Shares;  and the Company shall comply with
            one  additional  request  made by the  majority  holder  pursuant to
            Subsection (2) of this Section (j) (and not deemed to be pursuant to
            Subsection  (1) of this  Section  (j)) at the sole  expense  of such
            majority  holder.  Any holder whose  Warrants and/ or Warrant Shares
            are  included in any such  registration  statement  pursuant to this
            Section (j) shall, however, bear the fees of his own counsel and any
            registration  fees,  transfer  taxes or  underwriting  discounts  or
            commissions  applicable  to the Warrant  Shares sold by him pursuant
            thereto.

                  (C) The Company  shall  indemnify  and hold harmless each such
            holder and each underwriter,  within the meaning of the Act, who may
            purchase  from or sell  for any  such  holder  any  Warrants  and/or
            Warrant Shares from and against any and all losses,  claims, damages
            and  liabilities  caused by any untrue  statement or alleged  untrue
            statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement
            under the Act or any  prospectus  included  therein  required  to be
            filed or  furnished  by reason of this  Section (j) or caused by any
            omission  or  alleged  omission  to state  therein a  material  fact
            required to be stated  therein or necessary  to make the  statements
            therein  not  misleading,  except  insofar as such  losses,  claims,
            damages or  liabilities  are caused by any such untrue  statement or
            alleged untrue  statement or omission or alleged omission based upon
            information  furnished or required to be furnished in writing to the
            Company by such holder or  underwriter  expressly  for use  therein,
            which  indemnification  shall  include  each  person,  if  any,  who
            controls  any  such  underwriter  within  the  meaning  of such  Act
            provided,  however,  that the Company will not be liable 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 said  registration
            statement,  said  preliminary  prospectus,  said final prospectus or
            said amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with
            written  information  furnished by such Holder or any other  Holder,
            specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

                  (D)  Neither  the  giving of any  notice by any such  majority
            holder nor the making of any request for  prospectuses  shall impose
            upon  such  majority   holder  or  owner  making  such  request  any
            obligation to sell any Warrants and/or Warrant  Shares,  or exercise
            any Warrants.

      The  Company's  agreements  with respect to Warrants or Warrant  Shares in
this  Section  (j) shall  continue  in effect  regardless  of the  exercise  and
surrender of this Warrant.

      (k)  CONVERSION  OF  WARRANTS.  The holder may,  at its  option,  elect to
convert the Warrants into warrants identical to those issued to the investors in
the Private  Placement (the "Private  Placement  Warrants").  In such event, the
exercise  price,  anti-dilution  provisions  and  other  terms  of  the  Warrant
Agreement  governing the Private  Placement  Warrants shall govern the Warrants;
provided,  however,  that Section (j) hereof shall  survive  conversion  and the
Warrants shall not be subject to redemption by the Company.
