AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the "Agreement") is entered into
as of March 20, 2000, by and among Reconversion Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Retek"), Retek Merger Corp., a New York corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Retek ("Merger Sub"), Logisoft Corp., a New York
corporation ("Logisoft") and Robert Lamy, William Lamy, Robert Ballard and
Michael Pruitt (each of whom is a stockholder of Logisoft, and who are
collectively referred to herein as the "Principals" and each individual is
referred to as a "Principal").
RECITALS
The parties intend that, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement:
Merger Sub will merge with and into Logisoft in a statutory merger, with
Logisoft to be the corporation surviving the Merger (as defined below), all
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and a Plan of Merger in
the form of Exhibit"A" attached hereto (the "Plan of Merger") and the applicable
----------
provisions of the law of the State of New York.
Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, all of the outstanding capital stock of
Logisoft will be converted into shares of Retek Common Stock, as provided in
this Agreement and the Plan of Merger. The Merger is intended to be treated as
a tax-free reorganization pursuant to the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of
--------------------
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") by virtue of the
provisions of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code.
---------------------
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have
the meanings set forth below:
-1-
<PAGE>
1.1 "Retek Common Stock" means the Common Stock of Retek, $.0001 par
--------------------
value per share.
1.2 "Logisoft Common Stock" means the Common Stock of Logisoft, $____par
-----------------------
value per share.
1.3 "Effective Time" means the time and date on which a Certificate of
---------------
Merger (the "Certificate of Merger") has been filed with the New York Secretary
of State and the Merger becomes effective under New York law.
1.4 "Merger" means the statutory merger of Merger Sub with and into Logisoft
------
in a reverse triangular merger pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan of
Merger.
Other capitalized terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement and not defined in
this Section 1 have the meanings assigned to such terms in this Agreement.
----------
2. PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
2.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time, Merger Sub will be merged with
-----------
and into Logisoft pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan of Merger and in
accordance with applicable provisions of the laws of the State of New York.
Each share of Logisoft Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, and
without further action on the part of any holder thereof, be converted into such
number of shares as is shown on Exhibit 2.1.
------------
2.2 Adjustments for Capital Changes. If, prior to the Effective Time,
--------------------------------
Retek or Logisoft recapitalizes through a split-up of its outstanding shares
into a greater number, or a combination of its outstanding shares into a lesser
number, reorganizes, reclassifies or otherwise changes its outstanding shares
into the same or a different number of shares of other classes (other than
through a split-up or combination of shares provided for in the previous
clause), or declares a dividend on its outstanding shares payable in shares,
securities convertible into shares or other property, then the number of shares
of Retek Common Stock into which each share of Logisoft Common Stock is to be
converted ill be adjusted appropriately.
2.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Retek Common Stock will be
------------------
issued in connection with the Merger, but in lieu thereof, the holders of
Logisoft Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a
share of Retek Common Stock will receive an additional share of Retek Common
Stock.
-2-
<PAGE>
2.4 Options; Other Securities. No shares of Retek Common Stock (or any
-------------------------
other securities of Retek) shall be issued or issuable with respect to options
to purchase Logisoft Common Stock or with respect to any other equity securities
of Logisoft (including warrants), other than Logisoft Common Stock, and all such
options or other equity securities shall be canceled at the Effective Time.
2.5 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time: (a) the separate
------------------------
existence of the Merger Sub will cease and Merger Sub will be merged with and
into Logisoft, and Logisoft will be the surviving corporation of the Merger,
pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Merger; (b) the Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws of Logisoft will continue [UNCHANGED] to be the
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the surviving corporation of the
Merger; (c) each share of capital stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one share of Logisoft; (d)
the directors and certain officers of Retek shall become the directors and
officers of the surviving corporation as set forth in the Plan of Merger; (e)
each share of Logisoft Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive that number of shares
of Retek Common Stock as provided in Section 2.1; and (f) the Merger will, from
-----------
and after the Effective Time, have all of the effects provided by applicable
law.
2.6 Further Assurances. Each of Logisoft and the Principals agree that if,
-------------------
at any time after the Effective Time, Retek considers or is advised that any
further deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable
to vest, perfect or confirm in Retek title to any property or rights of
Logisoft, Retek and its officers and directors may execute and deliver all such
proper deeds, assignments and assurances and do all other things necessary or
desirable to vest, perfect or confirm title to such property or rights in Retek
and otherwise carry out the purpose of this Agreement, in the name of Logisoft
or otherwise.
2.7 Securities Law Compliance. Retek will issue the shares of Retek Common
--------------------------
Stock in the Merger pursuant to the "private placement" exemption from
registration under Section 4(2) of, or Regulation D promulgated under, the
-------------
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the shares
received by the Principals in the Merger will therefore be restricted securities
within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and certificates
evidencing such shares will bear a restrictive legend evidencing that fact.
Retek shall also take any action that is required to be taken under any
applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the issuance of
Retek Common Stock in the Merger. Logisoft and the Principals shall furnish to
Retek all information known to Logisoft or the Principals (or reasonably
ascertainable by Logisoft or the Principals) concerning each of Logisoft and the
Principals, as may be reasonably requested in connection with any action
contemplated by this Section.

<PAGE>
2.8 Tax-Free Reorganization. The parties intend to adopt this
------------------------
Agreement as a tax-free plan of reorganization and to consummate the Merger in
accordance with the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code. The parties
--------------------
have negotiated the Merger on an arm's-length basis, and on the premise that the
value of the Retek Common Stock to be received in the Merger is equal to the
value of the Logisoft Common Stock to be surrendered in exchange therefor.
Unless advised by tax counsel that doing so is required under applicable law,
the parties shall not take a position on any tax returns inconsistent with this
Section 2.8. In addition, Retek and the Principals represent that now, and as
- ------------
of the Effective Time, each of them presently intends to continue Logisoft's
historic business or use a significant portion of Logisoft's business assets in
a business. At the Effective Time, officers of each of Retek and Logisoft shall
execute and deliver officers' certificates in the forms of Exhibits 2.8A and
-----------------
2.8B attached hereto. The provisions and representations contained or referred
- ----
to in this Section 2.8 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable
------------
statute of limitations.

if any, of (a) applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the rights
of creditors generally and (b) rules of law governing specific performance,
injunctive relief and other equitable remedies; provided, however, that the
Certificate of Merger will not be effective until the Effective Time.
3.3 Capitalization. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital
--------------
stock of Logisoft consists of 200 shares of Logisoft Common Stock, of which 100
shares are issued and outstanding. All issued and outstanding shares of

- ---
complete list of all holders of Logisoft Common Stock. There are no options,
warrants, calls, commitments, conversion privileges or preemptive or other
rights or agreements outstanding to purchase or otherwise acquire any of

conversion privilege or other right or agreement, and there is no liability for
dividends accrued but unpaid. There are no voting agreements, rights of first
refusal or other restrictions (other than normal restrictions on transfer under

the Securities Act any of its presently outstanding securities or any securities
that may be subsequently issued. All holders of Logisoft Common Stock reside in

------------
or indirectly, any interest in any other corporation, partnership, trust, joint
venture, association, or other entity.
-5-
<PAGE>
3.5 No Violation of Existing Agreements. Neither the execution and
---------------------------------------
delivery of this Agreement or any Logisoft Ancillary Agreement, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will conflict
with, or (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) result in a
termination, breach or violation of, or cause an acceleration or amendment of
any obligation under, (a) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws of Logisoft, as currently in effect, (b) in any material respect, any
Material Agreement (as defined in Section 3.11) to which Logisoft is a party or
------------
by which Logisoft or the Principals or his, her or its assets or properties are
bound, or (c) to the knowledge of Logisoft and the Principals, any federal,
state, local or foreign judgment, writ, decree, order, statute, rule or
regulation applicable to Logisoft or the Principals, or their respective assets
or properties, in each case, such that the conflict, termination, breach,
acceleration or amendment would have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.6 Litigation. There is no action, proceeding, claim or investigation
----------
pending against Logisoft or any Principal before any federal, state, municipal,
foreign or other court or administrative agency, department, board or
instrumentality that, if concluded adversely to Logisoft or a Principal, would
have a Material Adverse Effect, and, to the best of Logisoft's and the
Principals' knowledge, no such action, proceeding, claim or investigation has
been threatened. There is, to the best of Logisoft's and the Principals'
knowledge, no reasonable basis for any stockholder or former stockholder of
Logisoft, or any other person, firm, corporation or entity, to assert a claim
against Logisoft, any Principal or Retek based upon: (a) ownership or rights to
ownership of any shares of Logisoft Common Stock, (b) any rights as or to become
a holder of securities of Logisoft, including any option or preemptive rights or

4.11 Material Agreements, Contracts and Commitments. All oral or
--------------------------------------------------
written contracts, obligations, commitments, plans, leases, instruments,
arrangements or licenses which are material to the business of Retek and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole (for purposes of this Section 4.11, a "Material

laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, (ii) rules of law governing
specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies, and (iii)

in breach or default in any material respect under the terms of any such
Material Agreement. A copy of each Material Agreement has been made available
to counsel for Logisoft and the Principals. Retek is not a party to any

to use, sell or license are reasonably sufficient for the conduct of its
business as presently conducted. Except for matters which would not have a

any third party or infringes any Intellectual Property Right of any other party;
and, except for matters which would not have a Material Adverse Effect, there is
no pending or, to the best knowledge of Retek, threatened claim or litigation

investigation thereof, is there any basis for any such claim; nor has Retek
received any notice asserting that any Retek IP Right or the proposed use, sale,
license or disposition thereof conflicts or will conflict with the rights of any
other party, nor, to the best knowledge of Retek, is there any basis for any
such assertion.

11. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNIFICATION AND REMEDIES,
CONTINUING COVENANTS
-34-
<PAGE>
11.1 Survival of Representations. All representations, warranties and
-----------------------------
covenants of Logisoft, the Principals, Retek and Merger Sub contained in this
Agreement will survive the Effective Time and remain operative and in full force
and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the parties
to this Agreement, until the earlier of (a) the termination of this Agreement or
(b) three (3) years after the Closing Date, whereupon such representations,
warranties and covenants will expire (except for covenants that by their terms
survive for a longer period); provided, however, that representations,
warranties and covenants involving intentional fraud or willful misconduct shall
survive the Closing without the limitations of subsections (a) or (b) above.
The period of such survival shall be referred to herein as the "Survival
--------
Period."
11.2 Agreement to Indemnify.
------------------------
11.2.1 Any one or more of the Principals (collectively, "Indemnified
Persons") seeking indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written
notification to Retek (the "Indemnification Representative") of the commencement
------------------------------
of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which
indemnification pursuant to this Section 11 may be sought; provided, however,
----------
that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Person in providing such notice
shall relieve Retek of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the
extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure.
Within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnification
Representative may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Person,
assume control of the defense of such action, suit or proceeding with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, provided that the
Indemnification Representative acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Person
that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against
the Indemnified Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding
constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 11. If the Indemnification
-----------
Representative does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified
Person shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may
participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnification
Representative assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Person
reasonably concludes that the indemnifying parties and the Indemnified Person
have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such
action, suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the
Indemnified Person shall be considered "Damage" for purposes of this Agreement.
The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the
status of such action, suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall
consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party with respect
thereto. The Indemnified Person shall not agree to any settlement of such
action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the
Indemnification Representative.
-35-
<PAGE>
11.2.2 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any payment made to an
----------------------------------
Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 11 or the Escrow Agreement shall be
----------
treated as a reduction in the merger consideration.
12. MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of New York
--------------
(irrespective of its conflict of law principles) will govern the validity of
this Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation and
enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto.
12.2 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. No party hereto
------------------------------------------------
may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other parties hereto and any attempt to do so will be void. This
Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
12.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
------------
application thereof, will for any reason and to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision
to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect
the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such
void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable
provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and
other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.
12.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts, each of which will be an original as regards any party whose
signature appears thereon and all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument. This Agreement will become binding when one or more
counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, will bear the signatures of
all parties reflected hereon as signatories. Facsimile copies of such
counterparts are acceptable.
12.5 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all
---------------
remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with

(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The
waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof will
not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding
breach or default. The Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any
time before or after approval of the shareholders of Logisoft but, after such
approval, no amendment will be made which by applicable law requires the further
approval of the shareholders of Logisoft obtaining such further approval.
12.7 No Waiver. The failure of any party to enforce any of the
----------
provisions hereof will not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such
party thereafter to enforce such provisions.
12.8 Expenses. Each party will bear its respective expenses and fees
--------
of its own accountants, attorneys and other professionals incurred with respect
to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
12.9 Attorneys' Fees. Should suit be brought to enforce or interpret

of whether such suit proceeds to final judgment.

into as of March ___, 2000, by and between Reconversion Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company") and Robert Lamy, William Lamy, Mike Pruitt
and Robert Ballard (who are collectively referred to herein as the
"Shareholders" and individually referred to herein as a "Shareholder") and who
-----------
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (as defined below) are
certain of the Principals (as defined in the Plan) of Logisoft Corp., a New York
corporation ("Logisoft").
--------
RECITALS
A. Each of the Shareholders, Logisoft, the Company and Retek
Merger Corp., a New York corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company ("Merger Sub"), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of
-----------
Reorganization dated as of March ___, 2000, (the "Plan"), pursuant to which
----
Merger Sub will merge with and into Logisoft in a reverse triangular merger,
with Logisoft to be the surviving corporation of the merger (the "Merger").
------

Registration Rights Agreement in the form of this Agreement with respect to the

Merger, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
-81-
G:\UKL\LOGISOFT\Retek Agreements\Reorganization Agr\Reorganization Agr6.wpd
1. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
--------------------
1.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 1:
-----------
a) The terms "register", "registered", and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or
similar document in compliance with the Securities Act and Regulation S-B
thereunder, if available, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of
such registration statement or document;
-69-
<PAGE>
b) The term "Registrable Securities" means the shares of Common Stock
issued to the Shareholders pursuant to the Plan and any Common Stock of the
Company issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in
exchange for or in replacement of, such Common Stock, excluding in all cases,
however, any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which
his rights under this Section I are not assigned pursuant to an effective
registration statement or to the public pursuant to an exemption from
registration requirements under the Securities Act;
c) The number of shares of "Registrable Securities then outstanding"
shall be determined by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding which
are Registrable Securities;
d) The term "Holder" means any person owning or having the right to
acquire Registrable Securities or any assignee thereof in accordance with
Section 1.11 hereof;
e) The terms "Form SB-1" or "Form SB-2" mean such forms under
Regulation S-B of the Securities Act as in effect on the date hereof or any
comparable registration form under the Securities Act subsequently adopted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); and
1.2 Request for Registration. The Company intends to enter into a
-------------------------
further agreement with the Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to which
such Holders shall be entitled to request that the Company effect a registration
under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders request
to be registered. The terms and conditions of such agreement shall be those
typical of demand registration rights granted in mergers and reorganizations
such as that described in the Plan. The parties agree to negotiate in good
faith such terms and conditions promptly after the closing of the transaction
contemplated in the Plan.
1.3 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so) the
--------------------
Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected
by the Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or
other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering
of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to
the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock or dividend
reinvestment plan, or a registration on any form which does not include
substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a
registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), after
October 10, 2000 the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder
written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder
received within thirty (30) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in
accordance with Section 2.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 1.7, cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the
Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered.
1.4 Obligation of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1
--------------------------
to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as reasonably possible:
-70-
<PAGE>
a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect
to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such
registration statement effective for up to one hundred twenty (120) days for the
purpose of selling all stock or securities registered with the SEC.
b) 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
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.
c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order
to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
d) 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 Holders, provided
that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions.
e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating
in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under
such an agreement.
f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act 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 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.
-71-
<PAGE>
g) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1, on the date that such
Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection
with a registration pursuant to this Section 1 if such securities are being sold
through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through
underwriters on the date that the registration statement with respect to such
securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion dated such date of the counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and
substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public
offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting
registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a "cold comfort" letter dated
such date from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in
form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to
title underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of
Registrable Securities.
1.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
--------------------
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section I with
respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder
shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities
as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable
Securities.
1.6. Expenses of Company Registration. The Company shall bear and pay
------------ --------------------
all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or
qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to all registrations
pursuant to Section 1.3 for each Holder (which right may be assigned as provided
in Section 1.11), including without limitation all registration, filing, and
qualification fees, printing and accounting fees relating or apportionable
thereto and the fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders
---
selected by them, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating
to Registrable Securities.
-72-
<PAGE>
1.7 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering
--------------------------
involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company
shall not be required in any "piggy back" Registration under Section 1.3 to
include any of the Holders' securities in such underwriting unless they accept
the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the
underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the
underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in
their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the
Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of
securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in
their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the
Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such
securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine
in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the
securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling shareholders
according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein
owned by each selling shareholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually
be agreed to by such selling shareholders) but in no event unless mutually
agreed to by all Shareholders shall (i) the amount of securities, including
Registrable Securities and all other securities the holders of which have
similar rights, of the selling shareholders included in the offering be reduced
below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in
such offering, or (ii) notwithstanding (i) above, any shares being sold by a
shareholder exercising registration right similar to that granted in Section 1.2
be excluded from such offering. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical,
apportionment of securities of any selling shareholder which is a holder of
Registrable Securities and which is a partnership or corporation, the partners,
retired partners and shareholders of such holder, or the estates and family
members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit
of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "selling
shareholder", and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such "selling
shareholder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such
"selling shareholder", as defined in this sentence.
1.8 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or
---------------------
seek any injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as a
result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of this Section 1.
1.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are
---------------
included in a registration statement under this Section 1:
a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold
harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder
and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the
meaning of the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"), against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities Joint or several) to
which they may become subject under the Act, or the 1934 Act or other federal or
state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereto arise out of or are based upon any of the following
statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation:): (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) 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, or (iii) any
violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any
state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, or the
1934 Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to each such
Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.09(a) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be
liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action
to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for
use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter or
controlling person.
-73-
<PAGE>
b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, advisor, professional,
agent, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and
any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the
foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, or the 1934 Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon and in conformity
with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in
connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred,
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be
indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.09(b), in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection
1.09(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent
of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that
in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.09(b) exceed the gross
proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
1.09 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.09, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory
to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all
other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one
counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and
expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such
indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
parties in the indemnified proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to
the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section
1.09, but the omission to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will
not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 1.09.
-74-
<PAGE>
d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.09 is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with
respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expenses referred to therein,
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim,
damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on
indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered
into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with
the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall
control.
f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.09
shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.
1.10 Reports, Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to
-------------------------------------------------
making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a
Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or
pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after ninety (90) days
following the effective date of an initial registration filed by the Company for
the offering of its securities to the general public;
b) take such action as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize
Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities;
c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Act and 1934 Act; and
d) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time
after ninety (90) days following the effective date of an initial public
offering of the Company), the Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has
become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a
registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time
after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the
Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in
availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the
selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
-75-
<PAGE>
1.11 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
------------------------------------
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be
assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or
assignee of such securities provided the Company is within a reasonable time
after such transfer furnished with written notice of the name and address of
such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being assigned; and provided further, that such
assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the
further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is
restricted under to the same extent as they were in the hands of the Holder.
1.12 No Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company may,
-----------------------------------------------
without the prior written consent of the Holders of the outstanding Registrable
Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of
any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective
holder registration rights, including without limitation the right (a) to
include such securities in any registration filed under Section 1.2 hereof or
(b) to make a demand registration which could result in such registration
statement being declared effective prior to January 1, 2003.
1.13 "Market Stand-Off" or "Lock-Up" Agreement. Each Investor hereby
-------------------------------------------
agrees that, during the period of duration specified by the Company and an
underwriter of common stock or other securities of the Company following the
effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act,
it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter,
directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without
limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase, or otherwise transfer
or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any
securities of the Company held by it at any time during such period except
common stock included in such registration; provided however, that:
a) such agreement shall be applicable only to the first such
registration statement of the Company which covers common stock (or other
securities) to be sold on its behalf to the public in an underwritten offering;
and
b) all officers and directors of the Company and all other persons with
registration rights (whether or not pursuant to this Agreement) enter into
similar agreements.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each
Investor (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the
foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
1.14 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be
--------------------------------------
entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section I after December 31,
2005; nor shall the Company be obligated to furnish the reports and information
required by Section 1.10 after such date.

THIS AGREEMENT, made as of the ____ day of March, 2000, between JOEL C.

(hereinafter the "Pledgor") and RECONVERSION TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware

WHEREAS, Pledgor has purchased from Pledgee one thousand five hundred
(1,500) shares of the issued and outstanding common stock (the "Shares") of

provisions of a certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated March __, 2000
(hereinafter the "Stock Purchase Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Pledgor has, pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders'

agrees to deposit with the Pledgee all other certificates for or other evidence

hereof, immediately upon his/her/its receipt by Pledgor. All such certificates
now or hereafter held by the Pledgee (the "Escrowed Certificates") will be held
and disposed of by the Pledgee in accordance with the terms and provisions of
this Pledge Agreement.
-10-
<PAGE>
10. Default. If an Event of Default, as defined in the Note, occurs and in
-------
accordance with the terms of the Note all amounts due under the Note are
declared or become immediately due and payable it shall be an event of default
under this Pledge Agreement (an "Event of Default"), and thereupon Pledgee shall
have the right to exercise all of the rights of a secured party under the
Delaware Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Shares, including the
authority to retain such legal, accounting, business and/or other advisors as
Pledgee may consider necessary or advisable to assist Pledgee in the disposition
of the Shares. In the event of a public or private sale of the Shares, twenty
(20) business days' written notice shall be given to Pledgor, which is hereby

the Pledgee shall then apply the sale proceeds to the satisfaction of all
obligations under the Note and shall thereafter deliver any surplus to Pledgor.

request, deliver to the Pledgor either (a) the Escrowed Certificates and related
stock powers or (b) a written statement that one or more obligations under the
Note remains unsatisfied, in which latter case the Pledgee shall withhold
delivery of the Escrowed Certificates and continue to hold and dispose of the
same as otherwise provided herein.
12. Cash Dividends/Redemptions. During the term of this Agreement, any
---------------------------
amounts received by the Pledgor or Pledgee as cash dividends or distributions on
the Shares, or as a result of a complete or partial redemption of any of the
Shares, shall be applied to the pre-payment of the obligations under the Note,
whether or not then due.
13. Voting Rights. During the term of this Agreement, and so long as an
--------------
Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor shall
have the right to vote the pledged Shares on all corporate questions, provided
that Pledgor shall not vote such shares for any action which would cause a
default or Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the
Pledgee shall be authorized and is hereby directed to vote the pledged Shares in
such manner as Pledgee shall determine.
14. Adjustments. If, during the term of this Agreement, any issuance of
-----------
shares of capital stock in the Corporation, securities convertible into capital
stock or other securities, is made to Pledgor arising from any share dividend,
reclassification, readjustment or other change in the capital structure of the
Corporation, all new, substituted and additional shares, or other securities,
issued by reason thereof, together with appropriate stock powers properly
executed in blank, shall be delivered to and held by the Pledgee under the terms
of this Agreement in the same manner as the Shares originally pledged hereunder.

-------

such party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a
written notice to the other. All notices and communications shall, if mailed,

18. Modifications; Waiver. No modification or waiver of this Agreement or
----------------------
any part hereof shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party or
parties sought to be charged therewith. No waiver of any breach or condition of
this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach
or condition, whether of like or different nature. No waiver of any breach or
condition of this Agreement by or with respect to any party hereto shall be
deemed to be a waiver of the same breach or condition with respect to any other
party hereto. No course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto
will be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this
Agreement or the rights or obligations of any party hereunder.
19. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held
-------------------
invalid or unenforceable by competent authority, such provision shall be
construed so as to be limited or reduced to be enforceable to the maximum extent
compatible with the law as it shall then appear. The total invalidity or
unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect
the other provisions hereof and this Agreement shall be construed in all
respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

to measure in money the damages which will accrue to a party hereto, his
successors, assigns or legal or personal representatives, by reason of the
failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, if
any party, his successors, assigns or legal or personal representatives, shall
institute any action or proceeding, to enforce the provisions of this Agreement,
any person or entity against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby

specific performance of the terms of this Agreement.

to commercial disputes. Judgment upon any resulting award may, after its
rendering, be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction by any party.
22. Fair Meaning. This Pledge Agreement shall be construed according to its
------------
fair meaning, the language used shall be deemed the language chosen by the
parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no presumption or rule of
strict construction will be applied against any party hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Pledge Agreement
on the day and year first above written.

and remedies.
