Registration Rights With Respect to the Securities (a) The Company agrees that it will prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), within ten (10) Trading Days after the date on which the staff of the Commission advises the Company that the staff has no further comments on the Form 10-SB, a registration statement (on Form SB-2 or S-1, or such other form as the Company may reasonably deem appropriate) under the Securities Act (the "Registration Statement"), at the sole expense of the Company (except as provided in Section 3(c) hereof), in respect of the Investors, so as to permit a public offering and resale of the Securities under the Act by the Investors as selling stockholders and not as underwriters. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days from the required filing date, or, if earlier, within five (5) days of SEC clearance to request acceleration of effectiveness, but in any event no later than February 1, 2000. The number of shares designated in the Registration Statement to be registered shall include all the Warrant Shares, at least 200% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture assuming the Conversion Price were based upon the Market Price at the time of filing, and such number of shares as the Company deems prudent for the purpose of issuing shares of Common Stock as dividends on the Convertible Debenture, and shall include appropriate language regarding reliance upon Rule 416 to the extent permitted by the Commission. The Company will notify the Investors of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement within one Trading Day of such event. In the event that the number of shares so registered shall prove to be insufficient to register the resale of all of the Securities, then the Company shall be obligated to file, within thirty (30) days of notice from any Investor, a further Registration Statement registering such remaining shares and shall use diligent best efforts to prosecute such additional Registration Statement to effectiveness within ninety (90) days of the date of such notice.

The Company shall immediately notify the Holders in writing upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Shelf Registration Statement or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by any Holder.
