Section 1.4 Covenant to Register.
(a) For purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall
apply:
(i) The terms "register," "registered," and "registration"
refer to a registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar
document in compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering of
effectiveness of such registration statement, document or amendment thereto.
(ii) The term "Registrable Securities" means the shares of
common stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of the Shares or the
Warrants comprising the Units, or upon conversion of any stock issued in payment
of dividends on the Shares, and any securities of the Company or securities of
any successor corporation issued as, or issuable upon the conversion or exercise
of any warrant, right or other security that is issued as a dividend or other
distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of, the
Shares or Warrants.
(iii) The term "holder of Registrable Securities" means the
Purchaser and any permitted assignee of registration rights pursuant to Section
1.4(h).
(b) (i) The Company shall no later than five (5) days following
the Closing amend its currently filed registration statement on Form SB-2 to
cover all the Registrable Securities, and shall use its best efforts to cause
such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible, but no
later than December 15, 1997 (the "Initial Registration"). In the event such
registration is not so declared effective or does not include all Registrable
Securities, holders of a majority of Registrable Securities, by giving notice in
writing, shall have the right to require that the Company register all or any
part of the Registrable Securities held by such holder (a "Demand Registration")
and the Company shall thereupon effect such registration in accordance herewith
(which may include adding such shares to an existing shelf registration). The
parties agree that if the holder of Registrable Securities demands registration
of less than all of the Registrable Securities, the Company, at its option, may
nevertheless file a registration statement covering all of the Registrable
Securities. If such registration statement is declared effective with respect to
all Registrable Securities and the Company is in compliance with its obligations
under Subsection (d) of this Section 1.4, the demand registration rights granted
pursuant to this Subsection (b)(i) shall cease, terminate and be of no further
force or effect. If such registration statement is not declared effective with
respect to all Registrable Securities or if the Company is not in compliance
with such obligations, the demand registration rights described herein shall
remain in effect. The Company shall provide holders of Registrable Securities
reasonable opportunity to review any such registration statement or amendment or
supplement thereto prior to the filing thereof.
(ii) The Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand
Registration under Subsection (b)(i) above: (A) if all of the Registrable
Securities held by the holder of Registrable Securities which are demanded to be
covered by the Demand Registration are, at the time of such demand, included in
an effective registration statement and the Company is in compliance with its
obligations under Subsection (d) of this Section 1.4; (B) if all of the
Registrable Securities may be sold under Rule 144(k) of the Act and the
Company's transfer agent has accepted an instruction from the Company to such
effect; or (C) at any time after two (2) years from the Closing Date.
(iii) Subject to Subsection (iv)(B) hereof, the Company may
suspend the effectiveness of any such registration effected pursuant to this
Subsection (b) in the event and for such period of time as, such a suspension is
required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"). The Company will use its best efforts to cause such suspension to
terminate at the earliest possible date.
(iv) (A) If a registration statement covering all
Registrable Securities is not effective by December 15, 1997 (the "Target
Date"), the Company shall pay Purchaser as liquidated damages an amount equal to
three percent (3%) of the total Purchase Price of the Units for each thirty (30)
day period following the Target Date until such time as the registration
statement is declared effective. The payment set forth above shall be pro-rated
daily as to any period of less than thirty (30) days. Such payment shall be made
to the Purchaser by cashier's check or wire transfer in immediately available
funds to such account as shall be designated in writing by the Purchaser and
shall be paid irrespective of the amount of Registrable Securities held by
Purchaser on the Target Date and thereafter.
(B) If, following effectiveness of a registration,
either the effectiveness of the registration statement is suspended or a current
prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act is not available
for delivery by the Purchaser (either referred to herein as a "suspension"), the
Company shall thereupon pay to Purchaser as liquidated damages an amount equal
to three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price of the Units for each thirty (30)
day period of the suspension. The payment set forth above shall be pro-rated
daily as to periods of less than thirty (30) days. Such payment shall be made to
the Purchaser by cashier's check or wire transfer in immediately available funds
to such account as shall be designated in writing by the Purchaser, and shall be
paid irrespective of the amount of Registrable Securities held by Purchaser on
or after the date following the suspension.
(C) Any amount payable and Penalty Warrants
deliverable pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection (iv) shall
be delivered on or before the fifth (5th) day following the end of the calendar
month in which such payment or delivery obligation arose.
(D) The rights and remedies in this subsection shall
be in addition to the provisions of Section 7.2(a) hereof.
(c) If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a
registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Purchaser)
any of its common stock under the Act in connection with a public offering of
such securities (other than a registration on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or other
limited purpose form) and all Registrable Securities have not theretofore been
included in a registration statement under Subsection (b) of this Section 1.4
which remains effective, the Company shall, at such time, promptly give all
holders of Registrable Securities written notice of such registration. Upon the
written request of any holder of Registrable Securities given within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of such notice by the holder of Registrable Securities,
the Company shall use its best efforts to cause to be registered under the Act
all Registrable Securities that such holder of Registrable Securities requests
to be registered. However, the Company shall have no obligation under this
Subsection (c) if (i) the Registrable Securities may be sold without
registration under Rule 144(k) and the Company's transfer agent has accepted an
instruction from the Company to such effect, (ii) the Registration Statement is
filed more than three years after the Closing Date, or (iii) to the extent that,
with respect to any underwritten offering initiated by the Company later than
one calendar year following the Closing, the managing underwriter of such
offering reasonably notifies such holder(s) in writing of its determination that
the Registrable Securities or a portion thereof shall be excluded therefrom.
(d) Whenever required under this Section 1.4 to effect the registration
of any Registrable Securities including, without limitation, the Initial
Registration, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(i) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement or
amendment thereto with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best
efforts to cause such registration to become effective as provided in Section
1.4(b)(i) hereof, and keep such registration statement effective for so long as
any holder of Registrable Securities desires to dispose of the securities
covered by such registration statement; provided, however, that in no event
shall the Company be required to keep the Registration Statement effective for a
period greater than three (3) years from the Closing Date;
(ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered
by such registration statement and notify the holders of the filing and
effectiveness of such Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements;
(iii) Furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities such
numbers of copies of a current prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus,
conforming with the requirements of the Act, copies of the registration
statement any amendment or supplement to any thereof and any documents
incorporated by reference therein and such other documents as such holder of
Registrable Securities may reasonably require in order to facilitate the
disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such holder of Registrable
Securities;
(iv) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
"Blue Sky" laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
holder of Registrable Securities;
(v) Notify each holder of Registrable Securities immediately
of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in
such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing, and use its best efforts to promptly update and/or
correct such prospectus;
(vi) Furnish, at the request of any holder of Registrable
Securities, (A) an opinion of counsel of the Company, dated the effective date
of the registration statement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the holder and its counsel and covering, without limitation, such matters as the
due authorization and issuance of the securities being registered and (B) a
"comfort" letter or letters of the Company's independent public accountants
provided at the Company's expense in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the holder and its counsel;
(vii) Use its best efforts to list the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement with any national market or securities
exchange on which such securities are then listed;
(viii) Make available for inspection by the holder of
Registrable Securities, upon request, all SEC Documents (as defined below) filed
subsequent to the Closing and require the Company's officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any holder of
Registrable Securities in connection with such registration statement; and
(ix) Furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities prompt
notice of the commencement of any stop-order proceedings under the Act, together
with copies of all relevant documents in connection therewith, and use its best
efforts to obtain withdrawal of any such stop order as soon as possible.
(e) Upon request of the Company, each holder of Registrable Securities
will furnish to the Company in connection with any registration under this
Section such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities and other
securities of the Company held by it, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of
the Registrable Securities held by such holder of Registrable Securities. The
intended method of disposition (Plan of Distribution) of such securities as so
provided by Purchaser shall be included without alteration in the Registration
Statement covering the Registrable Securities and shall not be changed without
written consent of the Purchaser.
(f) (i) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless each holder of Registrable Securities which
are included in a registration statement pursuant to the provisions of
Subsections (b) or (c) and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
partners or controlling persons (within the meaning of the Act) (each, an
"indemnified party") from and against, and shall reimburse such indemnified
party with respect to, any and all claims, suits, demands, causes of action,
losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses ("Liabilities") to which such
indemnified party may become subject under the Act or otherwise, arising from or
relating to (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in
any such case to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or omission so made in strict conformity with
information furnished by such indemnified party in writing specifically for use
in the registration statement.
(ii) In the event of any registration under the Act of
Registrable Securities pursuant to Subsections (b) or (c), each holder of such
Registrable Securities hereby severally agrees to indemnity, defend and hold
harmless the Company, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, partners,
or controlling persons (within the meaning of the Act) (each, an "indemnified
party") from and against, and shall reimburse such indemnified party with
respect to, any and all Liabilities to which such indemnified party may become
subject under the Act or otherwise, arising from or relating to (A) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
registration statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;
provided, that such holders will be liable in any such case to the extent and
only to the extent, that any such 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, prospectus or amendment or supplement
thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by
such holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
(iii) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against another party (the "indemnifying
party") hereunder, notify such party in writing thereof, but the omission so to
notify such party shall not relieve such party from any Liability which it may
have to the indemnified party other than under this Section and shall only
relieve it from any Liability which it may have to the indemnified party under
this Section if and to the extent an indemnifying party is materially prejudiced
by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any
indemnified party and such indemnified party shall notify an indemnifying party
of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party,
and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its
election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party
shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section for any legal
expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with
counsel so selected; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such
action include both parties and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to them which are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if
the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with
the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the
right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and
otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable
expenses and fees of one such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses
related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as
incurred.
(g) (i) With respect to the inclusion of Registrable Securities
in a registration statement pursuant to Subsections (b) or (c), all fees, costs
and expenses of and incidental to such registration, inclusion and public
offering shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that any
securityholders participating in such registration shall bear their pro-rata
share of the underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, incurred by them in
connection with such registration.
(ii) The fees, costs and expenses of registration to be borne
by the Company as provided in this Subsection (g) shall include, without
limitation, all registration, filing and NASD fees, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Company, and all legal fees and
disbursements and other expenses of complying with state securities or Blue Sky
laws of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which securities to be offered are
to be registered and qualified. Subject to appropriate agreements as to
confidentiality, the Company shall make available to the holders of Registrable
Securities and their counsel its documents and personnel for due diligence
purposes, and will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel designated by
a majority in interest of the holders of Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement, if such counsel is so designated. Except as otherwise
provided herein, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the
selling security holders shall be borne by the respective selling security
holders.
(h) The rights to cause the Company to register all or any portion of
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section l.4 may be assigned by Purchaser
to a proper transferee or assignee as described herein. Within a reasonable time
after such transfer, the Purchaser shall notify the Company of the name and
address of such transferee or assignee, and the securities with respect to which
such registration rights are being assigned. Such assignment shall be effective
only if, (i) the Purchaser agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to
assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company
within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment (subject to the

address of such transferee or assignee, (B) the Registrable Securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, (iii) following
such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of the Registrable
Securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act
and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or before the time that the
Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence

of the provisions contained herein, and (v) such transfer shall have been made
in accordance with the applicable requirements of the purchase agreement
covering the transaction and (vi) such transferee shall be an "accredited
investor", as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, promulgated
under the Securities Act.
(i) The Company shall not agree to allow the holders of any securities
of the Company to include any of their securities in any registration statement
filed by the Company pursuant to Subsection (b) unless such inclusion will not
reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities included therein.
Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The
Purchaser makes the following representations and warranties to the Company.
(a) Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an
"accredited investor", as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D,
promulgated under the Act.
(b) Speculative Investment. The Purchaser is aware
that an investment in the Units is highly speculative and subject to substantial
risks. The Undersigned is capable of bearing the high degree of economic risk
and the burden of this venture, including, but not limited to, the possibility
of complete loss of the Undersigned's investment in the Units and underlying
securities which make liquidation of this investment impossible for the
indefinite future.
(c) Disposition. The Purchaser understands that (i)
except as provided for in Section 1.4, the Units, Shares or Warrants and
underlying common stock of the Company (the "Securities"), have not been and are
not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
laws, and may not be transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder,
or (B) the Securities may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from
securities registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws or (C) sold pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the
Securities Act (or any successor Rule), or (ii) any sale of such Securities made
in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of such
Rule and further, if such Rule is not applicable, any resale of such Securities
under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is
made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the
Securities Act) may require compliance with another exemption under the
Securities Act or the rules of the SEC thereunder.
(d) Privately Offered. The offer to acquire the Units
was directly communicated to the Undersigned in such manner that the Purchaser
and its advisors were able to ask questions of and receive what Purchaser
considers satisfactory answers concerning the terms and conditions of this
transaction. At no time was the Undersigned presented with or solicited by or
through any leaflet, public promotional meeting, television advertisement, or
any other form of general advertising.
(e) Purchase for Investment. The Securities are being
acquired solely for the Undersigned's own account, for investment, and are not
being purchased with view to the resale, distribution, subdivision or
fractionalization thereof without a valid registration with applicable
governmental authorities.
(f) Reliance on Exemptions. The Purchaser understands
that the Securities are being offered and sold to Purchaser in reliance upon
specific exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of,
and the Purchaser's compliance with, the representations, warranties and
agreements of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire
the Securities.
Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchaser:
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Company is a
corporation duly incorporated and existing in good standing under the laws of
the State of New Jersey and has the requisite corporate power to own its
properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company and
each such subsidiary, if any, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do
business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of
the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary other than those in which the failure so to qualify would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. "Material Adverse Effect" means any adverse effect on
the business, operations, properties or financial condition of the entity with
respect to which such term is used and which is material to such entity and
other entities controlled by such entity taken as a whole.
(b) Authorization; Enforcement. (i) The Company has
the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to issue the Units,
including the Shares and Warrants, in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) the

it of the transactions contemplated hereby 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, (iii) this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, (iv) this
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application) and (v) prior to the Closing Date, any necessary Certificate of
Amendment to the Company's Charter authorizing Company to issue all of the
Shares and Registerable Securities, in accordance with Schedule I, will have
been filed with the New Jersey Secretary of State and will be in full force and
effect, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

Stock issued and outstanding.
All of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. Except as
set forth in the Company's Form SB-2 originally filed with the SEC and its
currently-filed Form SB-2, no shares of Common Stock are entitled to preemptive
rights or registration rights and there are no outstanding options, warrants,
scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever
relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital
stock of the Company, or contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements
by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of
capital stock of the Company or options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe
to, or commitments to purchase or acquire, any shares, or securities or rights
convertible into shares, of capital stock of the Company. The Company has
furnished to the Purchaser true and correct copies of the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (the "Charter"), and the
Company's By-Laws, as in effect on the date hereof (the "By-Laws").
(d) Issuance of Shares. The issuance of the Units has
been duly authorized and, when paid for and issued in accordance with the terms
hereof, the Shares and Warrants underlying the Units shall be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable and entitled to the rights and preferences set
forth in Schedule I hereto. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Shares and Warrants will be duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon
conversion, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and the
holders shall be entitled to all rights and preferences accorded to a holder of
Common Stock.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company
of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) result in a
violation of the Company's Charter or By-Laws or (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event which 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 agreement, indenture or
instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or result
in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and
regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which
any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or
affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments,
accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect); provided that, for purposes of such
representation as to Federal, state, local or foreign law, rule or regulation,
no representation is made herein with respect to any of the same applicable
solely to the Purchaser and not to the Company. The business of the Company is
not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulations of any
governmental entity, except for violations which either singly or in the
aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not
required under Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation in the United
States to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing

Secretary of State) or registration with, any court or governmental agency in
order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement or issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof
(other than any SEC, NASD or state securities filings which may be required to
be made by the Company subsequent to the Closing, and any registration statement
which may be filed pursuant
hereto); provided that, for purposes of the representation made in this
sentence, the Company is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant
representations and agreements of the Purchaser herein.

Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the Company has filed
on a timely basis all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act, including material filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d), in addition to one or more registration statements and amendments thereto
heretofore filed by the Company with the SEC under the Act (all of the foregoing
including filings incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as
the "SEC Documents"). The Company, through its agent, has delivered to the
Purchaser true and complete copies of the SEC Documents (except for exhibits and
incorporated documents). The Company has not provided to the Purchaser any

been disclosed publicly by the Company but which has not been so disclosed,
other than with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Act or the
Exchange Act as the case may be and the rules and regulations of the SEC
promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local laws, rules and
regulations applicable to such SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents
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 circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC or other
