In the absence of such registration, such shares may not be transferred unless, if the Company requests, the Company has received a written opinion from counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company stating that such transfer is being made in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. |
The legend set forth above may be removed if and when the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, are disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in the opinion of counsel to the Company experienced in the area of United States Federal securities laws such legends are no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act. The Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares shall also bear any other legends required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, which legends may be removed when in the opinion of counsel to the Company experienced in the applicable securities laws, the same are no longer required under the applicable requirements of such securities laws. The Company agrees that it will provide Purchaser, upon request, with a substitute certificate, not bearing such legend at such time as such legend is no longer applicable. Purchaser agrees that, in connection with any transfer of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares by it pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, Purchaser will comply with all prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

(e) Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the purchase of the Securities to be purchased by it has been duly and properly authorized and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it or on its behalf and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors rights generally and to general principals of equity; (ii) the purchase of the Securities to be purchased by it does not conflict with or violate its charter, by-laws or any law, regulation or court order applicable to it; and (iii) the purchase of the Securities to be purchased by it does not impose any penalty or other onerous condition on Purchaser under or pursuant to any applicable law or governmental regulation.
-10-

9. Existing Warrant Dilution. In the event that the Purchaser exercises its warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company issued to the Purchaser on July 31, 2002 (the Existing Warrant) and any of the shares of Series C Stock are then outstanding, the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) in effect on the date of exercise of the Existing Warrant shall be applied in determining the adjustment of the Per Share Warrant Price (as defined in the Existing Warrant) pursuant to Section 3(c) of such Existing Warrant with respect to the Series C Stock outstanding. If any of the Series C Stock is converted into Common Stock prior to the exercise of the Existing Warrant, the Per Share Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to said Section 3(c) of the Existing Warrant based on the number of shares of Common Stock issued and the Conversion Price used to convert the Series C Stock.
10. Registration Rights. Within 30 days from the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the Registrable Securities) for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (the Registration Statement). If the Company shall have used diligent efforts but is unable to file the Registration Statement within such 30-day period, the Company shall be granted an additional 15-day period within which to file the Registration Statement without penalty. The Registration Statement required hereunder shall be on Form SB-2. The Company shall register 17,242,443 Conversion Shares and 1,000,000 Warrant Shares. The Company shall use diligent efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within 90 days after the initial filing with the SEC, but shall not be liable for any damages should such effectiveness be delayed by the SEC review process. The Company shall use diligent efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is two years after the date that such Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC or such earlier date when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion to such effect addressed and acceptable to the Companys transfer agent. With respect to the Registration Statement, the Company shall comply, mutatis mutandis, with Sections 4(c), 4(d), 4(f), 4(g), 4(h), 4(j), 9 and 11 (provided, however, such rights shall inure only to a successor assignee of Purchaser as permitted under Section 15 hereof) of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 31, 2002, by and between the Company and Purchaser.
11. Redemption Option. The Company shall have the right to redeem the outstanding Series C Stock within the two (2) year period following the Closing Date upon and accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation.
