The right of the Company to deliver a Put Notice and the obligation of the Investors hereunder to acquire and pay for the Put Shares incident to a Closing is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Investors, on (i) the date of delivery of such Put Notice and (ii) the applicable Closing Date (each a "CONDITION SATISFACTION DATE"), of each of the following conditions: (a) REGISTRATION OF THE COMMON STOCK WITH THE SEC. The Company shall have filed with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the resale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. As set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration Statement shall have previously become effective and shall remain effective on each Put Date and each Condition Satisfaction Date and (i) neither the Company nor the Investors shall have received notice that the SEC has issued or intends to issue a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement or that the SEC otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened to do so (unless the SEC's concerns have been addressed and the Investors are reasonably satisfied that the SEC no longer is considering or intends to take such action), and (ii) no other suspension of the use or withdrawal of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or related prospectus shall exist. The Registration Statement must have been declared effective by the SEC prior to the first Put Date. (b) AUTHORITY.

The sale and issuance of the Put Shares shall be legally permitted by all laws and regulations to which the Company is subject. 20 (c) ACCURACY OF THE COMPANY'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of each Put Date and each Condition Satisfaction Date as though made at each such time (except for representations and warranties specifically made as of a particular date) with respect to all periods, and as to all events and circumstances occurring or existing to and including each Put Date and each Condition Satisfaction Date, except for any conditions which have temporarily caused any representations or warranties herein to be incorrect and which have been corrected with no continuing impairment to the Company or the Investors. (d) PERFORMANCE BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Escrow Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to each Put Date and each Condition Satisfaction Date. (e) NO INJUNCTION. No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits or directly and adversely affects any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no proceeding shall have been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or adversely affecting any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (f) ADVERSE CHANGES. Since the Subscription Date, no event that had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

The trading of the Common Stock (including, without limitation, the Put Shares) is not suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market, and the Common Stock (including, without limitation, the Put Shares) shall have been approved for listing or quotation on and shall not have been delisted from the Principal Market. The issuance of shares of Common Stock with respect to the applicable Closing, if any, shall not violate the shareholder approval requirements of the Principal Market (including, but not limited to, shareholder approval for the below market issuance of more than 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock).

On each Closing Date, the number of Put Shares then to be purchased by any Investor will not exceed the number of such shares which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then owned by any Investor beneficially or deemed beneficially owned by such Investor, would result in the Investor owning more than 4.99% of all of such Common Stock as would be outstanding on such Closing Date, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 7.2(h), in the event that the amount of Common Stock outstanding as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder is greater on a Closing Date than on the date upon which the Put Notice associated with such Closing Date is given, the amount of Common Stock outstanding on such Closing Date shall govern for purposes of determining whether the Investor, when aggregating all purchases of 21 Common Stock made pursuant to this Agreement and, if any, Warrant Shares, would own more than 4.99% of the Common Stock following such Closing. Then, in such event, the Company would reduce that number of Put Shares so issuable so that it would not exceed the aforementioned 4.99% limitation. Investor shall notify the Company as soon as possible, but in any event within three business days of receiving a Put Notice, if Investor believes Investor's purchase of the Put Shares specified in the Put Notice would result in Investor exceeding the 4.99% limitation described above. (i) MINIMUM BID PRICE. The Bid Price equals or exceeds the Floor Price during the applicable Valuation Period and during the ten Trading Days immediately preceding the Put Date (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, and similar events). (j) MINIMUM AVERAGE TRADING VOLUME. The average trading volume for the Common Stock over the 30 Trading Days immediately preceding the Put Date and the Condition Satisfaction Date exceeds 20,000 shares per Trading Day. (k) NO KNOWLEDGE. The Company has no knowledge of any event more likely than not to have the effect of causing such Registration Statement to be suspended or otherwise ineffective (which event is more likely than not to occur within the 30 Trading Days following the Trading Day on which such Put Notice is deemed delivered). (l) TRADING CUSHION. The Trading Cushion shall have elapsed since the next preceding Put Date. (m) MANAGEMENT. Since the Subscription Date there has been no change in control of the Company. (n) OTHER.

Section 8.2 NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION (a) The Company shall not disclose non-public information to the Investors, advisors to or representatives of the Investors unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being non-public information and provides the Investor, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such non-public information for review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing any non-public information hereunder, require the Investor's advisors and representatives to enter into a confidentiality agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Investors.

Nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to mean that such persons or entities other than the Investors (without the written consent of the Investors prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain non-public information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that based on such due diligence by such persons or entities, that the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. 23 ARTICLE IX LEGENDS Section 9.1 LEGENDS.

By ____________________________ By_____________________________ By_____________________________ By______________________________ SCHEDULE A LIST OF INVESTORS ----------------- EXHIBIT A IJNT INTERNATIONAL, INC. CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION FOR SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK --------------------------------- Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware --------------------------------- IJNT International, Inc. (the "CORPORATION"), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), does hereby certify that pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the DGCL, the Board of Directors of the Corporation, at a meeting duly convened on December 1, 1998 at which a quorum was present at all times, adopted the following resolution, which resolution remains in full force and effect as of the date hereof: WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized, within the limitations and restrictions stated in the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, to fix by resolution or resolutions the designation of each class or series of preferred stock (the "PREFERRED STOCK") and the voting powers, and any designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of any such class or series of Preferred Stock, as well as such other provisions with regard to redemption (at the option of the holders thereof and/or at the option of the Corporation), dividends, dissolution or the distribution of assets, conversion or exchange, and any qualifications or restrictions thereof or such other subjects or matters as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors; and WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to such authority, to authorize and fix the terms of the series of Preferred Stock designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved, that the terms and provisions of such series and all other right or preferences granted to or imposed upon such series or the holders thereof are as herein set forth: 1. DESIGNATION, AMOUNT AND PAR VALUE. Of the authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, 2,000 shares are designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK"). The Series A Preferred Stock will have a par value equal to $0.01 per share. 2. RANK. The Series A Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution and winding-up of the Corporation, rank PARI PASSU with all other series of Preferred Stock or other class of security expressly ranking PARI PASSU ("PARI PASSU CLASSES") with the Series A Preferred Stock and prior to all series or classes of common stock of the Corporation $0.002 par value per share (the "COMMON STOCK"). Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit the Corporation from authorizing or issuing, in accordance with its Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, as the same may be amended and in effect from time to time, any classes or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking senior to or PARI PASSU with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution and winding-up of the Corporation or both. 3. DIVIDENDS. The holders of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a dividend, payable, in cash or unrestricted shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at the option of the Corporation, on each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holders (the "SERIES A DIVIDEND") in an amount equal to eight percent (8%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30 day months) of the Series A Liquidation Preference (as defined below) on the Conversion Date (as defined below), or upon the Expiration Date (as defined below). In the event dividends become due and the Corporation is unable to issue unrestricted shares of Common Stock the Corporation shall pay such dividends in cash as set forth above. 4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. a) Subject to the rights of holders of any class of capital stock or series thereof expressly ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holder of each share of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders an amount equal to One Thousand ($1,000) Dollars for each share of Series A Preferred Stock (the "STATED VALUE") then held by such holder plus the Series A Dividend owed through such date (such amount being herein called the "LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE") before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of Common Stock or any other series of capital stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock. If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to pay in full the payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any Pari Passu Classes upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably with all other holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Pari Passu Classes in such distribution of assets in proportion to the Liquidation Preference of the respective shares. b) For the purposes of this Section 4, neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more other corporations or other entities shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. -2- 5. CONVERSION. a) RIGHTS OF HOLDER TO CONVERT. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock so that each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into such numbers of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of each share of Series A Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price defined herein (the "CONVERSION RATIO"). For the purposes hereof, the "CONVERSION PRICE" shall be equal to 80% of the average of the Closing Bid Price (as defined below) per share of the Common Stock over the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date the applicable holder of Series A Preferred Stock elects to have shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted (the "CONVERSION DATE"). The "CLOSING BID PRICE" means, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price on the OTC Bulletin Board (the "OTC") as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets ("BLOOMBERG"), or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the last closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price of such security on the pink sheets for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg. If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (all as appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split or other similar transaction during such period). b) ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION RATIO. The Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted, from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, to reflect the effect of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, merger, consolidation, recapitalization (other than the issuance of Common Stock in exchange for indebtedness or other obligation of similar value), reorganization or other similar transaction affecting the Corporation so that immediately following such event the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive upon conversion thereof the kind and amount of shares of securities of the Corporation and other property which they would have owned or been entitled to receive upon or by reason of such event if such shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted immediately before the record date (or, if no record date, the effective date) for such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph b) of this Section 5 shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the next day immediately following the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification, merger, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar transaction. In case of (i) any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, other than a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock (or such other class or series of common stock into which shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then convertible) or -3- (ii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, then provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock which is not converted into the right to receive stock or other securities and property in connection with such transaction shall have the right thereafter to convert such share of Series A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, subject to adjustment which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this paragraph (b) of this Section 5. The Corporation shall not enter into any of the transactions referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph unless, prior to the consummation thereof, effective provision shall be made in a certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document or written instrument of the Corporation or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, so as to provide for the assumption by the Corporation or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be, of the obligation to deliver to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock such stock or other securities and property and otherwise give effect to the provisions set forth in this paragraph. For the purposes hereof, "SURVIVING ENTITY" means any entity (other than the Corporation) surviving any consolidation or merger referred to in this paragraph, or the entity acquiring the Corporation's assets. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply similarly to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. The Corporation shall give each holder of Series A Preferred Stock prior written notice delivered to the applicable address set forth on the record books of the Corporation of each adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph b) of Section 5. c) PROCEDURES FOR CONVERSION. Any holder of Series A Preferred Stock electing to convert such shares or any portion thereof shall deliver to the Corporation at its principal office by telecopying an executed and completed Notice of Conversion and, by express courier, the certificate representing the Series A Preferred Stock to the Corporation. Each business date (between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time for the holder) on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to and received by the Corporation in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a "CONVERSION DATE". The Corporation will transmit the certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock (together with the certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock not so converted) to the holders via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise within five business days after the Conversion Date if the Corporation has received the original Notice of Conversion and Series A Preferred Stock certificate being so converted by such date, or within five business days after receipt by the Corporation of the original Notice of Conversion and Series A Preferred Stock certificate being so converted. In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the holders, in the event that the Corporation fails for any reason to effect delivery of such shares of Common Stock within such five business day period, the holders will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Corporation whereupon the Corporation and the holders shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion. The Notice of Conversion and Series A Preferred Stock representing the portion of the shares converted shall be delivered to the principal office of the Corporation at its then current address. -4- In the event that the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is not delivered within three business days after the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall pay to the holders, in immediately available funds, upon demand, as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty, for each $100,000 principal amount of Series A Preferred Stock sought to be converted, Five Hundred ($500) Dollars for each of the first 10 calendar days and One Thousand ($1,000) Dollars per calendar day thereafter that the shares of Common Stock due upon conversion are not delivered. Such liquidated damages shall run from the sixth business day after the Conversion Date up until the time that either the Notice of Conversion is revoked or the Common Stock has been delivered, at which time liquidated damages shall cease. Any and all payments required pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable only in immediately available funds to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock at the addresses indicated in the records of the Corporation. Payment by the Corporation of liquidation damages as set forth herein, shall not relieve the Corporation of its obligation to deliver the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the conversion provisions contained herein. d) NO FRACTIONAL SECURITIES. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to such holder, within the time restraints set forth in Section 5 c) above, in cash, the value of such fractional share which value shall be based upon the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Conversion Date. e) TAXES. If a holder converts shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of securities of the Corporation to the holder upon the conversion. f) RESERVATION OF SHARES. At all times, the Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as, from time to time, shall be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall be insufficient to satisfy the conversion rights hereunder, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. All shares of Common Stock issued upon due conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. -5- g) AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. In the event that this Series A Preferred Stock has not all been converted prior to the second anniversary of the date the Series A Preferred Stock was issued, then the Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted on the second anniversary of the date the Series A Preferred Stock was issued as if the holder voluntarily elected such conversion in accordance with the procedure, terms and conditions as set forth in this Certificate of Designation. h) CONVERSION LIMITS. Each holder agrees that it shall not convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock, which would result in any holder holding, at any time, more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. The preceding sentence shall not interfere with any holders right to convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock into more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, over time, and is not intended to mean that each holder is limited in its conversion to an aggregate total of no more than 4.99% of then outstanding shares of Common Stock. This restriction shall not apply in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 5 g) above. 6. ADJUSTMENTS. a) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, declare and pay to the holders of Common Stock a dividend in shares of Common Stock, or the Company shall subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the happening of such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the happening of such event. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day immediately following the record date, in the event of a stock dividend, or the day upon which the subdivision or combination becomes effective, as the case may be. b) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date on which the Series A Preferred Stock was first issued by the Company, make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company, including a distribution of evidence of indebtedness of the Company, other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made by the Company so that the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion, the amount of those securities of the Company that such holders would have received had their shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of conversion, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period. -6- c) If the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or any different number of shares of any class or any series of any class of capital stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise, then, and in each such event, the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change. d) Upon any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5 above, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are converted shall not be reissued. Upon conversion of all of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5 above and upon the taking of any action required by law, all matters set forth in this Certificate of Designation shall be eliminated from the Certificate of Incorporation, shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose whatsoever and all such shares shall revert to the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock. 7. VOTING RIGHTS. The holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matters presented to the stockholders of the Company for approval, except as required by law. 8. NO IMPAIRMENT. This Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation 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 Certificate of Designation and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock against impairment. 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS. a) "OUTSTANDING" SECURITIES. The term "outstanding", when used with reference to shares of stock, shall mean issued shares, excluding shares held by the Corporation, or a subsidiary thereof. b) HEADINGS. The headings of the paragraphs, subparagraphs, clauses, and sub-clauses of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference only and shall not define, limit, or affect any of the provisions hereof. -7- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, IJNT International, Inc. has caused this certificate to be signed by its Chairman and Secretary, respectively, this ____ day of December, 1998. ------------------------------------------ Name: Title: Chairman ------------------------------------------ Name: Title: Secretary EXHIBIT B ESCROW AGREEMENT THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT is made as of the __ day of December, 1998 by and among IJNT INTERNATIONAL, INC., with its principal office at 2800 Lafayette, Suite D, Newport Beach, California 92663 (hereinafter the "COMPANY"), HAVKIT CORPORATION (the "PLACEMENT AGENT") located at 64-31 Ellwell Crescent, Forest Hills, New York 11374, the "PURCHASERS" specified on Schedule A attached hereto, with their respective principal offices at the addresses set forth in Schedule A, and The Goldstein Law Group, PC, 65 Broadway, 10th Fl., New York, NY 10006 (hereinafter the "ESCROW AGENT").

By___________________________________ EXHIBIT D REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated the day of December, 1998, between the entities listed on Schedule A attached hereto (referred to as the "PURCHASERS"), and IJNT International, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, and having its principle place of business at 2800 Lafayette, Suite D, Newport Beach, CA 92663, (the "COMPANY"). WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Purchasers are purchasing from the Company, pursuant to a Preferred Stock and Private Equity Line of Credit Agreement dated the date hereof (the "EQUITY LINE AGREEMENT"), an aggregate of up to Eight Million ($8,000,000) Dollars principal amount of shares of Common Stock and an aggregate of Two Million ($2,000,000) Dollars principal amount of Series A Preferred Stock; All capitalized terms not hereinafter defined shall have that meaning assigned to them in the Equity Line Agreement; and WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Purchasers the registration rights set forth herein with respect to the Put Shares, and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Initial Shares (hereinafter referred to as the "STOCK" or "SECURITIES" of the Company). NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows: Section 1. REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. As used herein the term "REGISTRABLE SECURITY" means the Securities; provided, however, that with respect to any particular Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security when, as of the date of determination, (i) it has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 ACT") and disposed of pursuant thereto, (ii) registration under the 1933 Act is no longer required for the immediate public distribution of such security as a result of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, or (iii) it has ceased to be outstanding. The term "Registrable Securities" means any and/or all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of a "Registrable Security." In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the definition of "Registrable Security" as is appropriate in order to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the rights granted pursuant to this Section 1. Section 2. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Purchasers acknowledge and understand that prior to the registration of the Securities as provided herein, the Securities are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act. The Purchasers understand that no disposition or transfer of the Securities may be made by Purchasers in the absence of (i) an opinion of counsel to the Purchasers that such transfer may be made without registration under the 1933 Act or (ii) such registration. Section 3. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) The Company agrees that it will prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), within 30 calendar days after the Subscription Date, a registration statement (on Form S-3), under the 1933 Act (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT"), at the sole expense of the Company (except as provided in Section 3(c) hereof), in respect of all holders of Registrable Securities, so as to permit a public offering and sale of the Registrable Securities under the Act. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within 90 calendar days from the Subscription Date. The number of shares designated in the Registration Statement to be registered shall be 200% of the number of Securities that would be required if all the Registrable Securities were issued on the Trading Day immediately preceding before the filing of the Registration Statement. (b) The Company will maintain the Registration Statement or post-effective amendment filed under this Section 3 hereof current under the 1933 Act until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, (ii) the date the holders thereof receive an opinion of counsel that the Registrable Securities may be sold under the provisions of Rule 144 or (iii) three years after the Subscription Date. (c) All fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement under subparagraph 3(a) and in complying with applicable securities and Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees) shall be borne by the Company. The Purchasers shall bear the cost of underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, applicable to the Registrable Securities being registered and the fees and expenses of its counsel. The Company shall qualify any of the securities for sale in such states as such Purchasers reasonably designate and shall furnish indemnification in the manner provided in Section 6 hereof. However, the Company shall not be required to qualify in any state which will require an escrow or other restriction relating to the Company and/or the sellers. The Company at its expense will supply the Purchasers with copies of the Registration Statement and the prospectus or offering circular included therein and other related documents in such quantities as may be reasonably requested by the Purchasers. (d) The Company shall not be required by this Section 3 to include a Purchasers' Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement which is to be filed if, in the opinion of counsel for both the Purchasers and the Company (or, should they not agree, in the opinion of another counsel experienced in securities law matters acceptable to counsel for the Purchasers and the Company) the proposed offering or other transfer as to which such registration is requested is exempt from applicable federal and state securities laws and would result in all purchasers or transferees obtaining securities which are not "restricted securities", as defined in Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. -2- (e) In the event the Registration Statement to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 3(a) above is not filed with the SEC within thirty (30) calendar days from the Subscription Date and/or the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 90 days from the Subscription Date, then the Company will pay Purchasers (pro rated on a daily basis), as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty, two (2%) percent of the purchase price of the then outstanding Securities for every 30 calendar day period until the Registration Statement has been filed and/or declared effective. Such payment of the liquidated damages shall be made to the Purchasers in cash, immediately upon demand, provided, however, that the payment of such liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to register the Securities pursuant to this Section. If the Company does not remit the damages to the Purchasers as set forth above, the Company will pay the Purchasers reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys fees, in addition to the liquidated damages. The registration of the Securities pursuant to this provision shall not affect or limit Purchasers' other rights or remedies as set forth in this Agreement. (f) No provision contained herein shall preclude the Company from selling securities pursuant to any Registration Statement in which it is required to include Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3. (g) The Company agrees to only include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement. (h) The Company agrees that it will declare the Registration Statement effective within five days after being informed by the SEC that the Registration Statement may be declared effective, and will respond to any questions and/or comments from the SEC within five business days after receipt of same. Section 4. COOPERATION WITH COMPANY. Purchasers will cooperate with the Company in all respects in connection with this Agreement, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by the Company and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities. Section 5. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. If and whenever the Company is required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to effect the registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the Act, the Company shall (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), as expeditiously as possible: (a) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement whenever the Purchasers of such securities shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of the same (including prospectus supplements with respect to the sales of securities from time to time in connection with a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Act); -3- (b) furnish to each Purchaser such numbers of copies of a summary prospectus or other prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents, as such Purchasers may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the securities owned by such Purchasers; (c) register and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchasers shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable each Purchaser to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdiction of the securities owned by such Purchasers, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified or to file therein any general consent to service of process; (d) list such securities on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board or other national securities exchange on which any securities of the Company are then listed, if the listing of such securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or Nasdaq; (e) enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, if the offering is an underwritten offering, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering; (f) notify each holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto covered by the Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Act, of the happening of any event of which it has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. Section 6. INFORMATION BY PURCHASERS. Each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnished to the Company such information regarding such Purchasers and the distribution proposed by such Purchasers as the Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 6. Section 7. ASSIGNMENT. The rights granted the Purchasers under this Agreement shall not be assigned without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Section 8. TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights granted pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate as to each Purchaser (and permitted transferee under Section 7 above) upon the occurrence of any of the following: -4- (a) all such Purchasers' securities subject to this Agreement have been registered; (b) all of such Purchasers' securities subject to this Agreement may be sold without such registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act; (c) all of such Purchasers' securities subject to this Agreement can be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k); or (d) two years from the issuance of the Registrable Securities. Section 9. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) In the event of the filing of any Registration Statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers and each officer or director of the Purchasers or person, if any, who controls the Purchasers within the meaning of the Securities Act ("DISTRIBUTING PURCHASERS") against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys' fees), to which the Distributing Purchasers may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, or any related preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, offering circular, notification or 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 not misleading; 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 such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, offering circular, notification or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by the Distributing Purchasers, specifically for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. (b) Each Distributing Purchaser agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each officer, director of the Company or person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys' fees) to which the Company or any such officer, director or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof; arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration Statement requested by such Distributing Purchaser, or any related preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, offering circular, notification or amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the -5- alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, offering circular, notification or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by such Distributing Purchaser, specifically for use in the preparation thereof and, provided further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9(b) shall not inure to the benefit of the Company with respect to any person asserting such loss, claim, damage or liability who purchased the Registrable Securities which are the subject thereof if the Company failed to send or give (in violation of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) a copy of the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement to such person at or prior to the written confirmation to such person of the sale of such Registrable Securities, where the Company was obligated to do so under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Distributing Purchasers may otherwise have. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than as to the particular item as to which indemnification is then being sought solely pursuant to this Section. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated and 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 under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to its final conclusion. 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 indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that if the indemnified party is the Distributing Purchaser, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Distributing Purchaser and the indemnifying party and the Distributing Purchaser shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnifying party different from or in conflict with any legal defenses which may be available to the Distributing Purchaser (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Distributing Purchaser, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall, 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 -6- liable only for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate firm of attorneys for the Distributing Purchaser, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Distributing Purchaser). No settlement of any action against an indemnified party shall be made without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Section 10. CONTRIBUTION. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution under the Securities Act in any case in which (i) the Distributing Purchaser makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9 hereof but is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that the express provisions of Section 9 hereof provide for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any Distributing Purchaser, then the Company and the applicable Distributing Purchaser shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys' fees), in either such case (after contribution from others) on the basis of relative fault as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the applicable Distributing Purchaser, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Distributing Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Section 11. NOTICES. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement by the Company or by the Purchasers shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by (i) hand, (ii) by facsimile and followed by mail delivery or (iii) if mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows: (a) If to the Purchasers, to their respective address set forth on Schedule A annexed to this Agreement. (b) If to the Company, at the address set forth herein, or to such other address as any such party may designate by notice to the other party. Notices shall be deemed given at the time they are delivered personally or five (5) days after they are mailed in the manner set forth above. If notice is delivered by facsimile to the Company and followed by mail, delivery shall be deemed given two (2) days after such facsimile is sent. -7- Section 12. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Section 13. HEADINGS. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Section 14. JURISDICTION. This Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, except for matters arising under the Act, without reference to principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the State of New York in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on FORUM NON CONVENIENS, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. Each party hereby agrees that if another party to this Agreement obtains a judgment against it in such a proceeding, the party which obtained such judgment may enforce same by summary judgment in the courts of any country having jurisdiction over the party against whom such judgment was obtained, and each party hereby waives any defenses available to it under local law and agrees to the enforcement of such a judgment. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address set forth herein. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Section 15. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Attest: IJNT International, Inc. By:________________________________ By:________________________________ Name: Name: Title: Title: EXHIBIT E FORM OF OPINION OF THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT COUNSEL [Date] Address Re: Preferred Stock and Private Equity Line of Credit Agreement dated December __, 1998 Ladies and Gentlemen: This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to the Preferred Stock and Private Equity Line of Credit Agreement by and between, the entities (the "INVESTORS") listed on Schedule A, and IJNT International, Inc. (the "COMPANY"), dated December, 1998 (the "LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT"), which provides for the issuance of Preferred Stock, and sale by the Company of up to ____ shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "PUT SHARES"). All terms used herein have the meanings defined for them in the Line of Credit Agreement unless otherwise defined herein. We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the negotiation of the Line of Credit Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Escrow Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT") between the Investors, and the Company, dated December, 1998, and the Escrow Agreement between the Investors, the Company and the Escrow Agent, dated December, 1998 (the "ESCROW Agreement", and together with the Line of Credit Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the "Agreements"). As counsel, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquires as we have deemed advisable or necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion. In addition, we have examined, among other things, originals or copies of such corporate records of the Company, certificates of public officials and such other documents and questions of law that we consider necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to us as copies thereof, the legal capacity of natural persons, and the due execution and delivery of all documents (except as to due execution and delivery by the Company) where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof. As used in this opinion, the expression "to our knowledge" refers to the current actual knowledge of the attorneys of this firm who have worked on matters for the Company solely in connection with the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby. For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that you have all requisite power and authority, and have taken any and all necessary corporate action, to execute and deliver the Agreements, and we are assuming that the representations and warranties made by the Investor in the Agreements and pursuant thereto are true and correct. The opinions hereinafter expressed are subject to the following qualifications: Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite power and authority (corporate and other) to carry on its business and to own, lease and operate its properties and assets as described in the Company's SEC Documents. To our knowledge, the Company does not own or control any other business entity. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the Company owns or leases property, other than those in which the failure so to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Agreements, and the Certificate of Designation, and to issue the Preferred Stock, the Put Shares, and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock (the "Underlying Shares"). The execution and delivery of the Agreements, and the execution, issuance and delivery of the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock, and the Underlying Shares, by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. Each of the Agreements has been duly executed and delivered, and the Common Stock, and Preferred Stock have been duly executed, issued and delivered, by the Company and each of the Agreements, the Put Shares and the Preferred Stock constitutes valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application. 3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements, and the issuance of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock, by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Put Shares, the Preferred Stock, and the Underlying Shares, do not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Company's Articles or By-Laws; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a material default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture, instrument or any "lock-up" or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement to which the Company is a party, except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations and cancellations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) result in a violation of any federal or state law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except for such violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To our knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any terms of its Articles or Bylaws. -2- 4. The issuance of the Put Shares, the Preferred Stock, the Underlying Shares, and the Blackout Shares in accordance with the Line of Credit Agreement will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and will be in compliance with Delaware state securities laws. When so issued, the Put Shares, the Blackout Shares, the Preferred Stock, and the Underlying Stock, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens, encumbrances and preemptive or similar rights contained in the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "ARTICLES") or Bylaws or, to our knowledge, in any agreement to which the Company is party. 5. To our knowledge, except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, there are no claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations that are pending against the Company or its properties, or against any officer or director of the Company in his or her capacity as such, nor has the Company received any written threat of any such claims, actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations which are required to be and have not been disclosed in the SEC Documents. 6. To our knowledge, there are no outstanding options, warrants, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any right to subscribe for or acquire any shares of Common Stock or contracts, commitments, understanding, or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, except as described in the SEC Documents. To our knowledge, the Company is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality. 7. The issuance of the Securities will not violate the applicable listing agreement between the Company and any securities exchange or market on which the Company's securities are listed. 8. As more specifically described in the Reports, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of shares of Common Stock, no par value per share ("COMMON STOCK") and shares of Preferred Stock, par value $___ per share. This opinion is furnished to the Investors solely for their benefit in connection with the transactions described above and may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

EXHIBIT G INSTRUCTIONS TO TRANSFER AGENT IJNT INTERNATIONAL, INC. December 2, 1998 Brian Kelley, President Executive Registrar & Transfer Agency, Inc. P.O. Box 56517 Phoenix, AZ 85079-6517 Re: Equity Line Financing Dear Mr. Kelley: Reference is made to the Preferred Stock and Private Equity Line of Credit Agreement and all Exhibits and Attachments thereto (the "Agreement") dated as of December 2, 1998, between Investors listed in Schedule A (the "Investor") and IJNT International, Inc. (the "Company"). Pursuant to the Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement the Investor has agreed to purchase from the Company and the Company has agreed to sell to the Investor from time to time during the term of the Agreement shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), and Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). As a condition to the effectiveness of the Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to you, as the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent"), these instructions relating to the Common Stock to be issued to the Investors (or a permitted assignee) pursuant to the Agreement or upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. 1. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK WITHOUT THE LEGEND Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is required to prepare and file with the SEC, and maintain the effectiveness of, a registration statement or registration statements registering the resale of the Common Stock to be acquired by the Investors under the Agreement. The Company will advise the Transfer Agent in writing of the effectiveness of any such registration statement promptly upon its being declared effective. The Transfer Agent shall be entitled to rely on such advice and shall assume that the effectiveness of such registration statement remains in effect unless the Transfer Agent is otherwise advised in writing by the Company and shall not be required to independently confirm the continued effectiveness of such registration statement. In the circumstances set forth in the following two paragraphs, the Transfer Agent shall deliver to the Investor certificates representing Common Stock not bearing the Legend without requiring further advice or instruction or additional documentation from the Company or its counsel or the Investor or its counsel or any other party (other than as described in such paragraphs). At any time after the effective date of the applicable registration statement (provided that the Company has not informed the Transfer Agent in writing that such registration statement is not effective) upon any surrender of one or more certificates evidencing Common Stock which bear the Legend, to the extent accompanied by a notice requesting the issuance of new certificates free of the Legend to replace those surrendered, the Transfer Agent shall deliver to the Investor the certificates representing the Common Stock not bearing the Legend, in such names and denominations as the Investor shall request. In the event the Company files a Form S-3 registration statement and such registration statement is declared effective by the SEC in connection with any such event, the Investor (or its permitted assignee) shall confirm in writing to the Transfer Agent that (i) the Investor has sold, pledged or otherwise transferred or agreed to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Common Stock in a bona fide transaction to a third party that is not an affiliate of the Company; and (ii) the Investor confirms to the transfer agent that the Investor has complied with the prospectus delivery requirement. In the event the Company files a registration statement other than on Form S-3, which is subsequently declared effective by the SEC, the Investors need not confirm the above in writing to the Transfer Agent. In the event a registration statement is not filed by the Company, or for any reason the registration statement which is filed by the Company is not declared effective by the SEC the Investor, or its permitted assignee, or either of their brokers confirms to the Transfer Agent that (i) the Investor has held the shares of Common Stock for at least one year, (ii) counting the shares surrendered as being sold upon the date the unlegended Certificates would be delivered to the Investor (or the Trading Day immediately following if such date is not a Trading Day), the Investor will not have sold more than the greater of (a) one percent (1%) of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or (b) the average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock for the preceding four weeks during the three months ending upon such delivery date (or the Trading Day immediately following if such date is not a Trading Day), and (iii) the Investor has complied with the manner of sale and notice requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Any advice, notice, or instructions to the Transfer Agent required or permitted to be given hereunder may be transmitted via facsimile to the Transfer Agent's facsimile number of ###-###-####. 2. MECHANICS OF DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING COMMON STOCK In connection with any Closing pursuant to which the Investor acquires Common Stock under the Agreement, the Transfer Agent shall deliver to the Transfer Agent as defined in the Agreement certificates representing Common Stock (with or without the Legend, as appropriate) immediately. -2- 3. FEES OF TRANSFER AGENT; INDEMNIFICATION The Company agrees to pay the Transfer Agent for all fees incurred in connection with these Irrevocable Instructions. The Company agrees to indemnify the Transfer Agent and its officers, employees and agents, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which it or they become subject based upon the performance by the Transfer Agent of its duties in accordance with the Irrevocable Instructions. 4. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY The Company and the Transfer Agent acknowledge and agree that the Investors are an express third party beneficiary of these Irrevocable Instructions and shall be entitled to rely upon, and enforce, the provisions thereof.
