subject to the conditions  described herein. The Shares will have the rights set

Purchaser  of the  Warrants,  which  grants  Purchaser  the right and  option to
purchase  the  Warrant  Shares  on the terms set  forth  therein.  The  Warrants
(including any Contingent  Warrants that may be issued from time to time) may be
exercised  in  whole or in part as set  forth in each  Warrant.  The  number  of
Warrant  Shares  subject to each Warrant and the exercise price shall be subject
to further  adjustment  as set forth in this  Agreement and as set forth in each
Warrant.

     2.03 Closing of Purchase and Sale of Shares and  Warrants.  At the Closing,
the  Company  agrees to issue and sell to  Purchaser,  and  Purchaser  agrees to
purchase,  an  aggregate  500,000  Shares and the Initial  Warrants  for a total
purchase price equal to Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars  ($500,000.00).
The purchase and sale of the Shares and the issuance of the Initial  Warrants to
Purchaser  shall take place by facsimile  delivery  exchange of signature  pages
followed by express delivery  exchange of the complete Closing  Documents on the
Closing  Date,  with the  Closing to be held at the offices of Hallett & Perrin,

Company shall deliver to Purchaser certificates  representing the Shares and the

Purchaser  shall deliver such other  agreements,  documents and  certificates as
specified in this Agreement or as may be reasonably requested by each party. The
purchase  price shall be paid by wire  transfer to an account  designated by the
Company.

     2.04 Registration of Warrants. The Company shall maintain a register of the
Warrants  to record  therein  the name and  address  of the  registered  holders
thereof,  instructions  for  notices,  and other  information  for  transfers or
exchanges of the Warrants. No transfer of a Warrant for less than 100,000 shares
shall be valid  unless  made by the  registered  holder  with the prior  written
consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The registered
holder of the  Warrants  shall be deemed the owner  thereof for purposes of this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding  anything in this Section 2.04 to the contrary,  the
transfer of any Warrant  shall also be subject to the  restrictions  on transfer
set forth therein.

     2.05 Line of Credit.  In connection  with the acquisition of the Shares and
Warrants, Purchaser has agreed to provide its standby limited guarantee to allow
the Company to obtain the Credit Line, if and when the Company decides to do so;
provided,  that Purchaser's  obligation to provide such a guarantee and any then
outstanding  guarantee  shall terminate on the earliest to


                                       4




occur of (a) the time at which the Company is able to obtain on the basis of its
own  financial  strength a  $1,000,000  line of credit  from a state or national
banking  institution  (or any other  financial  institution)  on business  terms
reasonably  acceptable  to the Board,  (b) the  redemption by the Company of the
outstanding  shares of Preferred  Stock,  and (c) December 31, 2006. The Company
shall have the discretion to determine when and to what extent it accesses funds
from the Credit Line; provided, that the Company shall draw down in multiples of
$250,000; and further provided that Purchaser will have the right, to reject any
draws on the Credit  Line if it  determines  in good  faith  that the  Company's
financial condition or outlook has suffered or is reasonably likely to suffer, a
Material Adverse Change.

     In  consideration  for  Purchaser's  guarantee,  and  for so  long  as such
guarantee remains in effect, if at any time the Company draws against the Credit
Line,  then  promptly  thereafter  (but in no event later than ten (10) business
days thereafter) the Company (i) shall issue Contingent  Warrants,  effective as
of the date that the Company  draws against the Credit Line,  exercisable  for a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the  aggregate  dollar  amount of such
advance,  in the case of the first  advance,  and (ii)  shall  issue  additional
Contingent Warrants  exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the dollar amount of any  additional  advance(s)  in the case of any  subsequent
advances,  with the effect  that  Purchaser  shall  have one or more  Contingent
Warrants that are  initially  exercisable  for an aggregate  number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the aggregate  principal amount of all advances made under
the Credit Line while the  guarantee of Purchaser is in effect,  in an aggregate
amount not to exceed 1,000,000 Warrant Shares. No additional Contingent Warrants
shall be  issued  for any  advances  made  against  the  Credit  Line  after the
guarantee of Purchaser has terminated or been withdrawn.

     2.06  Further  Assurances.  The Company  and  Purchaser  shall  execute and
deliver such additional  documents and take such additional actions as any party
reasonably  may deem to be practical and  necessary in order to  consummate  the
transactions  contemplated by this Agreement and to vest more fully  Purchaser's
ownership of the Shares and Warrants.

     2.07 Quest Warrants.  Upon completion of the Closing, Quest shall be issued
warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock,  exercisable at an exercise
price of $1.40 per share  (adjusted as provided in the  Warrants).  The warrants
issued to Quest (the form of which is attached as Exhibit E) will  terminate pro
rata as to 200,000 shares (as adjusted  therein),  on each of the third,  fourth
and fifth  anniversary  dates of the Closing,  unless the warrants are exercised
before the applicable  expiration  date. Quest agrees to timely make all filings
required  to be  made  by it  under  the  Exchange  Act or the  Securities  Act,
including  without  limitation any filings under Section 13 of the Exchange Act,

no equity  interests in any  corporation,  partnership,  joint  venture or other

including,  without limitation, any consents of the stockholders of the Company,
are required.  Each of the Closing  Documents  constitutes the valid and binding
obligation of the Company,  enforceable  against the Company in accordance  with
its terms, except :

     moratorium or other laws of general  application  affecting  enforcement of
     creditor's rights,

          (ii) as limited by general  principles  of equity  that  restrict  the
     availability of equitable remedies, and

          (iii) as the indemnity provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement
     may be limited by law.

     The Shares, when issued at the Closing in compliance with the provisions of
this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable,  free and
clear of any and all liens, charges, claims or encumbrances. The Warrant Shares,
if and when issued,  delivered and paid for in compliance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the Warrants,  as applicable,  will be validly issued,  fully

the time they were  filed with the SEC,  contained  any  untrue  statement  of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated  therein
or  necessary  in  order  to  make  the  statements  therein,  in  light  of the

     5.02 Authorized  Shares. The Company shall, from and at all times after the
Closing that the Warrants remain  outstanding,  maintain a reserve of authorized
shares of Common Stock  sufficient to cover both (a) the issuance of the Warrant

     5.03 Removal of Legends.  Any legend endorsed on a certificate  pursuant to
Section  3.07 and any related  stop  transfer  instructions  with respect to any

an opinion of counsel,  satisfactory to the Company,  to the effect that a sale,
transfer or  assignment of such  Securities  may be made pursuant to Rule 144(k)
under the Securities Act.

     5.04 Board of Directors.  During the period in which the Preferred Stock is
issued and  outstanding,  the holder of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
elect two (2) directors of the Company, in accordance with the rights granted to
them in the Certificate of  Designation.  The initial persons to be appointed to
the Board on behalf of the holders of the Preferred  Stock are Steven R. Crowder
and Steven W. Fox.  Messrs.  Crowder and Fox will enjoy the same  directors  and
officers'  liability  insurance  protection  and  indemnity  rights as the other
directors  and  executive  officers  of  Decorize  enjoy from time to time.  The
Company  has  provided  a  certificate  of  insurance  evidencing  its  existing
directors and officers liability insurance coverage to Messrs. Crowder and Fox.

     5.05 Chief  Executive  Officer;  Put  Option.  The Board will  appoint  Mr.

replacement  by the  Board.  During the  period in


                                       11




which  Mr.  Crowder  serves as  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer  of the
Company,  he will be eligible to receive the same benefits  (including,  without
limitation,  life insurance,  disability insurance,  health insurance and dental
insurance) that the Company's other executive  officers are eligible to receive.
Mr. Crowder shall receive an initial annual salary during the first two years of
his term in an amount equal to $150,000.  Any such payments made to Mr.  Crowder
shall be made in accordance  with the  Company's  standard  payroll  procedures,

time,  plus the  salary  and  benefits  payable  to Mr.  Crowder  for any period
following his initial  two-year  term,  shall be determined by the  Compensation
Committee of the Board.

     Purchaser  agrees  that for so long as Mr.  Crowder  continues  to serve as
President  and CEO of the  Company,  the  Company  shall have the sole right and
option to require  Purchaser  to purchase  from the Company for cash a number of
shares  of  Common  Stock  having  an  aggregate  Market  Price,  on the date of
issuance, equal to the amount necessary for the Company to fund its expenditures
from Mr. Crowder's  compensation and benefits,  but not exceeding $37,500 in any
quarter,  on the first day of each fiscal  quarter  beginning on January 1, 2004
(such issuance being on the Closing Date).  The Company shall give notice of its
exercise  of such option for any  quarter no later than the third  business  day
preceding the first day of the quarter, on which date the shares shall be issued

will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any and
all liens, charges, claims or encumbrances.

     5.06  Management  Fee. The Company shall pay a management fee in the amount

and  continuing  until the later of (a) the date that is  eighteen  (18)  months
after the Closing  Date,  and (b) the date on which Mr. Fox ceases to serve as a
director of the Company.  These  payments  shall be in lieu of any payments that
are due now or from time to time in the future pursuant to the letter  agreement
dated November 19, 2002.

     5.07 Option  Grants.  Using the form of option  agreement  attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit H:

          (a) At the  Closing Mr.  Crowder and Mr. Fox shall be granted  options
     under the 1999  Decorize,  Inc.  Equity  Incentive  Plan,  a  complete  and
     accurate  copy of which is filed as an  exhibit  to the Form SB-2  filed on
     September 29, 1999 (File No.  000-88083) (the "Plan"),  to purchase 125,000
     shares and 25,000 shares, respectively, of Common Stock at a price equal to
     $1.40 per share, which options shall expire on the third anniversary of the

     Agreement.  The holder of  Preferred  Stock  will be  granted  the right to
     approve any amendments to the Plan by the Certificate of Designation to the
     extent required by Delaware law or the rules and regulations of AMEX or the
     SEC.

          (b) If the Company achieves positive  earnings before tax,  determined
     by the certified  public  accountants  in charge of the Company's  audit in
     accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  consistently
     applied ("EBT") for two consecutive quarters,  then effective as of the end
     of the second  consecutive  quarter the Company  shall grant options to Mr.
     Crowder to  purchase an  additional  75,000  shares of


                                       12





     Common  Stock at the Market  Price per share of the Common  Stock as of the
     end of the second  consecutive  quarter.  These  options will expire on the
     third anniversary of their issuance.

          (c) Right to Subscribe. If the Company achieves positive EBT for three
     consecutive  quarters (which three quarters may include the two consecutive
     quarters described in (b) above), then effective as of the end of the third
     consecutive  quarter the  Company  shall  grant  options to Mr.  Crowder to
     purchase an additional  75,000  shares of Common Stock,  and options to Mr.

     at the  Market  Price  per share of the  Common  Stock as of the end of the
     third  consecutive  quarter.   These  options  will  expire  on  the  third
     anniversary of their issuance.

          (d) Registration of Option Shares. The Company represents and warrants
     to Purchaser that, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
     stock  options  described  in Section  5.07(a)  above are the subject of an
     effective Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-111058) filed by
