Matt theatens me with incarceration if I do not spoon-feed information to EDIG investors who either refuse to read the SEC filings or don't know how to read them.
Therefore, for those who meet the above criteria, here is the clause in the 12/30/02 8-K filing that explains the upcoming registration statement. FWIW, any of you could have found this on your own if you had looked.
6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS On or before June 30, 2003, the Company shall undertake to file a registration statement for the resale of the Conversion Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Form S-3 or other appropriate form, and will utilize commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement effective as soon as possible thereafter. In the event that the foregoing registration statement is not declared effective, the Noteholder shall have the following additional registration rights with respect to the Conversion Shares:
(a) If, at any time from issuance to December 31, 2007 (the "EXERCISE PERIOD"), the Company proposes to prepare and file any registration statements covering its Common Stock (in either case, other than in connection with a merger or acquisition, pursuant to Form S-8 or any successor form, or pursuant to any other form or type of registration in which Registrable Securities (as defined below) cannot be appropriately included) (collectively, the "REGISTRATION STATEMENTS"), it will give written notice as provided herein at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each such Registration Statement to the then holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and/or Conversion Shares ("HOLDER") of its intention to do so. If the Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and/or Conversion Shares notify the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice of its or their desire to include the Conversion Shares (collectively, the "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES") in such proposed registration statement, the Company shall afford the Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and/or Conversion Shares the opportunity to have any such Registrable Securities registered under such registration statement at the Company's sole cost and expense.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the Company shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant hereto (irrespective of whether a written request for inclusion of any such securities shall have been made) to elect not to file any such proposed registration statement, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the effective date thereof.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, if the underwriter managing such registration notifies the Holders in writing that market or economic conditions limit the amount of securities which may reasonably be expected to be sold, the Holders of such Registrable Securities will be allowed to register their Registrable Securities pro rata based on the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by such Holders, respectively. No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter's marketing limitation shall be included in such registration.
(d) Each Holder of Conversion Shares to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement (each, a "DISTRIBUTING HOLDER") shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors, each underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Company and such underwriter, against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability, joint or several, as incurred, to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, in so far as such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any 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 under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Distributing Holder specifically for use therein. Such Distributing Holder shall reimburse the Company, such underwriter and each such officer, director or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such liability, as incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity with respect to such preliminary prospectus or such final prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of the Company, its officers or directors, or such underwriter (or such controlling person of the Company or the underwriter) if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability purchased the securities that are the subject thereof and did not receive a copy of the final prospectus (or the final prospectus as then amended, revised or supplemented) at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act in any case where any such untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected in the final prospectus (or, if contained in the final prospectus, was subsequently corrected by amendment, revision or supplement).
