The term "Superior Indebtedness" shall mean (i) all indebtedness now existing or hereafter issued, created, incurred or assumed by the Company for money borrowed from or guaranteed to banks, trust companies, insurance companies and other financial institutions and charitable trusts, pension trusts and other investing organizations, which indebtedness shall be evidenced by notes or other instruments or evidences of indebtedness, and (ii) any deferrals, renewals or extensions of any such Superior Indebtedness, or debentures, notes or other instruments or evidences of indebtedness issued in respect of or in exchange for any such Superior Indebtedness, unless in the instrument creating or evidencing the same, or pursuant to which it is outstanding, it is provided that such indebtedness or such deferral, renewal or extension thereof is not superior in right of payment to the Debentures.


Section 1.3

No payment on account of principal or interest on the Debentures shall be made, nor shall any property or assets be applied to the purchase or other acquisition or retirement of the Debentures, unless current payment of amounts then due for principal, premium, if any, or interest on Superior Indebtedness has been made or duly provided for in accordance with the terms of such Superior Indebtedness.


Section 1.4

 No payment on account of principal or interest on the Debentures shall be made, nor shall any property or assets be applied to the purchase or other acquisition or retirement of the Debentures, if, at the time of such payment or application or immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) there shall exist a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest with respect to any Superior Indebtedness, or (ii) there shall have occurred an event of default (other than a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) with respect to any Superior Indebtedness, as defined therein or in the instrument under which the same is outstanding, permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof and such event of default shall not have been cured or waived or shall not have ceased to exist.


Section 1.5

 Upon (i) any acceleration of maturity of the principal amount due on the Debentures or (ii) any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, upon any dissolution or winding-up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, or assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of assets and liabilities in respect of the Company, all principal, premium, if any, and interest due or to become due upon all Superior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full, including costs of collection or payment thereof provided for, in money or money's worth, in accordance with the terms of such Superior Indebtedness, before any payment is made on account of principal or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Debentures, and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the holders of the Debentures would be entitled, except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, directly to the holders of Superior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Superior Indebtedness may have been issued, pro rata, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Superior Indebtedness in full in accordance with its terms after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Superior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of the indebtedness evidenced by the Debentures.


Section 1.6

 The Company shall give prompt written notice to the holders of the Debentures of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement or similar proceedings, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any marshalling of assets and liabilities, in respect of the Company, within the meaning of Section 1.3 and shall also give prompt written notice to the holders of the Debentures of any event which pursuant to Section 1.2 would prevent payment by the Company on account of the principal or interest on the Debentures or with respect to the purchase of Debentures. The holders of the Debentures shall be entitled to assume that no such event has occurred unless the Company, or a holder of Superior Indebtedness, or any trustee therefor, has given such notice.


Section 1.7

 Subject to the payment in full of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all Superior Indebtedness, the holders of the Debentures shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Superior Indebtedness to receive distributions of assets of the Company or payments by or on behalf of the Company, made on the Superior Indebtedness, until the principal of and interest on the Debentures shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no distributions or payments to the holders of Superior Indebtedness of any cash, property, or securities to which the holders of the Debentures would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 1, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 1 to the holders of Superior Indebtedness by the holders of the Debentures, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Superior Indebtedness, and the holders of Debentures, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of Superior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article 1 are, and are intended, solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of the Debentures, on the one hand, and the holders of Superior Indebtedness, on the other hand.


Section 1.8

 Nothing contained in this Article 1 or elsewhere in the Debentures, is intended to or shall alter or impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Superior Indebtedness, and the holders of the Debentures the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders of the Debentures the principal of and interest on the Debentures at the time and place and at the rate and in the currency therein prescribed, or affect the relative rights of the holders of the Debentures and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Superior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the holder of any Debenture from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under the Debenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 1 of the holders of Superior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received or receivable upon the exercise of any such remedy.


Section 1.9

 Each holder of any Debenture by his acceptance thereof acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Superior Indebtedness, whether such Superior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Debentures, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Superior Indebtedness, and each holder of Superior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Superior Indebtedness.


Section 1.10

A conversion in whole or in part of this Debenture shall not be considered a “payment” for the purposes of this Article I.  Any default in the terms or payment of Superior Indebtedness shall in no way affect the rights of the Holder to convert this Debenture in whole or in part.


Article 2

Interest


The Company shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Debenture (the “Debenture”) at the time of each conversion until the principal amount hereof is paid in full or has been converted. The  Debentures shall pay five percent (5%) cumulative interest, in cash or in shares of common stock, par value $.005 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), at the Company’s option, at the time of each conversion. The closing shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the funds (less commitment fees, escrow fees and attorney fees) are received by the Company (the “Closing Date”).  If the interest is to be paid in cash, the Company shall make such payment within five (5) business days of the date of conversion.   If the interest is to be paid in Common Stock, said Common Stock shall be delivered to the Holder, or per Holder’s instructions, within five (5) business days of the date of conversion. The Debentures are subject to automatic conversion at the end of three (3) years from the date of issuance at which time all Debentures outstanding will be automatically converted based upon the formula set forth in Section 4.2.  


Article 3

Method of Payment


This Debenture must be surrendered to the Company in order for the Holder to receive payment of the principal amount hereof.  The Company shall have the option of paying the interest on this Debenture in United States dollars or in Common Stock upon conversion pursuant to Article 1 hereof.  The Company may draw a check for the payment of interest to the order of the Holder of this Debenture and mail it to the Holder’s address as shown on the Register (as defined in Section 8.2 below).  Interest and principal payments shall be subject to withholding under applicable United States Federal Internal Revenue Service Regulations.


Article 4

Conversion


Section 4.1

Conversion Privilege


(a)

The Holder of this Debenture shall have the right to convert it into shares of Common Stock at any time following the Closing Date and  which is before the close of business on the Maturity Date, except as set forth in Section 4.1(c) below.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture is determined pursuant to Section 4.2 and rounding the result to the nearest whole share.     


(b)

Less than all of the principal amount of this Debenture may be converted into Common Stock if the portion converted is $5,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000 and the provisions of this Article 3 that apply to the conversion of all of the Debenture shall also apply to the conversion of a portion of it.  This Debenture may not be converted, whether in whole or in part, except in accordance with Article 3.


(c)

In the event all or any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding on the Maturity Date, the unconverted portion of such Debenture will automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock on such date in the manner set forth in Section 4.2.


Section 4.2

Conversion Procedure.



(a)

Conversion Procedures. The face amount of this Debenture may be converted, in whole or in part, any time following the Closing Date.  Such conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering to the Company, or its attorney, this Debenture to be converted together with a facsimile or original of the signed Notice of Conversion which evidences Holder’s intention to convert the Debenture indicated.  The date on which the Notice of Conversion is effective (“Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder has delivered to the Company a facsimile or original of the signed Notice of Conversion, as long as the original Debenture(s) to be converted are received by the Company within five (5) business days thereafter.  Notwithstanding the above, any Notice of Conversion not received by 5:00 P.M. EST, shall be deemed to have been received the next business day.


(b)

Common Stock to be Issued.

Upon the conversion of any Debentures and upon receipt by the Company or its attorney of a facsimile or original of Holder’s signed Notice of Conversion the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue stock certificates without restrictive legend or stop transfer instructions, if at that time the Registration Statement has been deemed effective (or with proper restrictive legend if the Registration Statement has not as yet been declared effective), in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, as applicable.   The Company shall act as Registrar and shall maintain an appropriate ledger containing the necessary information with respect to each Debenture. The Company warrants that no instructions, other than these instructions, have been given or will be given to the transfer agent and that the Common Stock shall otherwise be freely resold, except as may be set forth herein.


(c)

Conversion Rate.  Holder is entitled to convert the face amount of this Debenture, plus accrued interest, any time following the Closing Date, at the lesser of (i) 125% of the final “Volume Weighted Average Price” of the Closing Date or (ii) 85% of the average of the four (4) lowest closing bid prices during the five (5) trading days prior to the Conversion Date, each being referred to as the “Conversion Price”.  “Volume Weighted Average Price” shall mean the daily volume average weighted price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on a trading day as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (“BLOOMBERG”), or if not available through Bloomberg because of delisting, then the average of the bid prices for the Common Stock of any market makers for the Common Stock as reported in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share.


(d)

Nothing contained in this Debenture shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to the Holder at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by governing law.  In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid exceeds the maximum rate permitted by governing law, the rate of interest required to be paid thereunder shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted under the governing law and such excess shall be returned with reasonable promptness by the Holder to the Company.


(e)

It shall be the Company’s responsibility to take all necessary actions and to bear all such costs to issue the Common Stock as provided herein, including the responsibility and cost for delivery of an opinion letter to the transfer agent, if so required.  The person in whose name the certificate of Common Stock is to be registered shall be treated as a shareholder of record on and after the conversion date. Upon surrender of any Debentures that are to be converted in part, the Company shall issue to the Holder a new Debenture equal to the unconverted amount, if so requested in writing by Holder.


(f)

Within five (5) business days after receipt of the documentation referred to above in Section 4.2(b), the Company shall deliver a certificate, in accordance with Section 4.2(c) for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion.  In the event the Company does not make delivery of the Common Stock, as instructed by Holder, within five (5) business days after the Conversion Date, then in such event the Company shall pay to Holder one percent (1%) in cash, of the dollar value of the Debentures being converted per each day after the fifth (5th) business day following the Conversion Date that the Common Stock is not delivered to the Purchaser.



The Company acknowledges that its failure to deliver the Common Stock within five (5) business days after the Conversion Date will cause the Holder to suffer damages in an amount that will be difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, the parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Debenture a provision for liquidated damages.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this section represents the parties’ good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty.  The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Debenture.


To the extent that the failure of the Company to issue the Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.2(g) is due to the unavailability of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, the provisions of this Section 4.2(g) shall not apply but instead the provisions of Section 4.2(h) shall apply.


The Company shall make any payments incurred under this Section 4.2(g) in immediately available funds within five (5) business days from the date the Common Stock is fully delivered.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or cancel the conversion for the Company’s failure to issue and deliver Common Stock to the Holder within five (5) business days after the Conversion Date.


(g)

The Company shall at all times reserve (or make alternative written arrangements for reservation or contribution of shares) and have available all Common Stock necessary to meet conversion of the Debentures by all Holders of the entire amount of Debentures then outstanding. If, at any time Holder submits a Notice of Conversion and the Company does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or alternative shares of Common Stock as may be contributed by Stockholders) available to effect, in full, a conversion of the Debentures (a “Conversion Default”, the date of such default being referred to herein as the “Conversion Default Date”), the Company shall issue to the Holder all of the shares of Common Stock which are available, and the Notice of Conversion as to any Debentures requested to be converted but not converted (the “Unconverted Debentures”), may be deemed null and void upon written notice sent by the Holder to the Company.  The Company shall provide notice of such  Conversion Default (“Notice of Conversion Default”) to all existing Holders of outstanding Debentures, by facsimile, within three (3) business day of such default  (with the original delivered by overnight or two day courier), and the Holder shall give notice to the Company by facsimile within five business days of receipt of the original Notice of Conversion Default (with the original delivered by overnight or two day courier) of its election to either nullify or confirm the Notice of Conversion.


The Company agrees to pay to all Holders of outstanding Debentures payments for a Conversion Default (“Conversion Default Payments”) in the amount of (N/365) x (.24) x the initial issuance price of the outstanding and/or tendered but not converted Debentures held by each Holder where N = the number of days from the Conversion Default Date to the date (the “Authorization Date”) that the Company authorizes a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to effect conversion of all remaining Debentures.  The Company shall send notice (“Authorization Notice”) to each Holder of outstanding Debentures that additional shares of Common Stock have been authorized, the Authorization Date and the amount of Holder’s accrued  Conversion Default Payments.  The accrued Conversion Default shall be paid in cash or shall be convertible into Common Stock at the Conversion Rate, upon written notice sent by the Holder to the Company, which Conversion Default shall be payable as follows:  (i) in the event Holder elects to take such payment in cash, cash payments shall be made to such Holder of outstanding Debentures by the fifth day of the following calendar month, or (ii) in the event Holder elects to take such payment in stock, the Holder may convert such payment amount into Common Stock  at  the conversion rate set forth in Section 4.2(d) at any time after the 5th day of the calendar month following the month in which the Authorization Notice was received, until the expiration of the mandatory three (3) year conversion period.

The Company acknowledges that its failure to maintain a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to effect in full a conversion of the Debentures will cause the Holder to suffer damages in an amount that will be difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, the parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Agreement a provision for liquidated damages.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this section represents the parties’ good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty.  The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Debenture.  Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to maintain a sufficient number of authorized shares of  Common Stock.


(h)

If, by the fifth (5th) business day after the Conversion Date of any portion of the Debentures to be converted (the “Delivery Date”), the transfer agent fails for any reason to deliver the Common Stock upon conversion by the Holder and after such Delivery Date, the Holder purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the "Covering Shares") solely in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Holder (the "Sold Shares"), which delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the Common Stock issuable upon conversion (a "Buy-In"), the Company shall pay to the Holder, in addition to any other amounts due to Holder pursuant to this Debenture, and not in lieu thereof, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below).  The "Buy In Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares.  The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Holder in immediately available funds within five (5) business days of written demand by the Holder.  By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which the Company will be required to pay to the Holder will be $1,000.


(i)

Prospectus and Other Documents. The Company shall furnish to Holder such number of prospectuses and other documents incidental to the registration of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Debentures, including any amendment of or supplements thereto.


(j)

Limitation on Issuance of Shares. If the Company’s Common Stock becomes listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market after the issuance of the Debentures, the Company may be limited in the number of shares of Common Stock it may issue by virtue of (X) the number of authorized shares or (Y) the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, including, but not necessarily limited to, NASDAQ Rule 4310(c)(25)(H)(i) or Rule 4460(i)(1), as may be applicable (collectively, the “Cap Regulations”).  Without limiting the other provisions thereof, (i) the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to be in a position to issue shares of Common Stock on conversion of the Debentures without violating the Cap Regulations and (ii) if, despite taking such steps, the Company still cannot issue such shares of Common Stock without violating the Cap Regulations, the holder of a Debenture which cannot be converted as result of the Cap Regulations (each such Debenture, an “Unconverted Debenture”) shall have the right to elect either of the following remedies:


(x)  if permitted by the Cap Regulations, require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock in accordance with such holder's Notice of Conversion at a conversion purchase price equal to the average of the closing bid price per share of Common Stock for any five (5) consecutive trading days (subject to certain equitable adjustments for certain events occurring during such period) during the sixty (60) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date; or


(y)  require the Company to redeem each Unconverted Debenture for an amount (the “Redemption Amount”), payable in cash, equal to the sum of (i) one hundred thirty-three percent (133%) of the principal of an Unconverted Debenture, plus (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon through and including the date (the “Redemption Date”) on which the Redemption Amount is paid to the holder.


A holder of an Unconverted Debenture may elect one of the above remedies with respect to a portion of such Unconverted Debenture and the other remedy with respect to other portions of the Unconverted Debenture.  The Debentures shall contain provisions substantially consistent with the above terms, with such additional provisions as may be consented to by the Holder.  The provisions of this section are not intended to limit the scope of the provisions otherwise included in the Debentures.


(k)

Limitation on Amount of Conversion and Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Debenture, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert that amount of Debenture, and in no event shall the Company permit that amount of conversion, into that number of shares, which when added to the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as may be amended, (the “1934 Act”)), by the Holder, would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Conversion Date, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act is different on any Conversion Date than it was on the Closing Date, then the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such Conversion Date shall govern for purposes of determining whether the Holder would be acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such Conversion Date.


(l)

Legend. The Holder acknowledges that each certificate representing the Debentures, and the Common Stock unless registered pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:


THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT (i) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (ii) TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT (OR ANY SIMILAR RULE UNDER SUCH ACT RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES), OR (iii) IF AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS AVAILABLE.


(m)

Prior to conversion of all the Debentures and exercise of all the Warrants, if at any time the conversion of all the Debentures and exercise of all the Warrants outstanding would result in an insufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock being available to cover all the conversions, then in such event, the Company will move to call and hold a shareholder’s meeting or have shareholder action with written consent of the proper number of shareholders within thirty (30) days of such event, or such greater period of time if statutorily required or reasonably necessary as regards standard brokerage house and/or SEC requirements and/or procedures, for the purpose of authorizing additional shares of Common Stock to facilitate the conversions.   In such an event management of the Company shall recommend to all shareholders to vote their shares in favor of increasing the authorized number of shares of Common Stock. Management of the Company shall vote all of its shares of Common Stock in favor of increasing the number of shares of authorized Common Stock.  Company represents and warrants that under no circumstances will it deny or prevent Holder’s right to convert the Debentures as permitted under the terms of this Subscription Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement.  Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Company to make the payments set forth in Section 4.2(g).   In the event the Company’s shareholder’s meeting does not result in the necessary authorization, the Company shall redeem the outstanding Debentures for an amount equal to (x) the sum of the principal of the outstanding Debentures plus accrued interest thereon multiplied by (y) 133%.

 

Section 4.3

Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock, or scrip representing fractions of such shares, upon the conversion of this Debenture.  Instead, the Company shall round up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share.


Section 4.4

Taxes on Conversion.  The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Debenture.  However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the shares are issued in a name other than its name.


Section 4.5

Company to Reserve Stock.  The Company shall reserve the number of shares of Common Stock required pursuant to and upon the terms set forth in the Subscription Agreement to permit the conversion of this Debenture.  All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the conversion hereof shall upon issuance be validly issued,  fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.


Section 4.6

Restrictions on Sale.  This Debenture has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Act”) and is being issued under Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.  This Debenture and the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion thereof may only be sold pursuant to registration under or an exemption from the Act.


Section 4.7

Mergers, Etc.  If the Company merges or consolidates with another corporation or sells or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another person and the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities or property in respect of or in exchange for Common Stock, then as a condition of such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, it may thereafter be converted on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth above into the kind and amount of stock, securities or property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Debenture might have been converted immediately before such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to adjustments provided for in this Article 3.


Section 4.8

Company Mandatory Redemption. During the first one hundred eighty (180) calendar days following the Issuance Date, the Company, at its sole option, shall have the right to exercise a “Mandatory Redemption” to redeem, in whole or in part, the outstanding amount of the Debenture, as follows: The Company must notify the Holder in writing, via facsimile transmission, that it is exercising its right of Mandatory Redemption.  The Company shall not be entitled to exercise a Mandatory Redemption of any amount being converted once it receives a Notice of Conversion, unless it is for the balance remaining unconverted on the Debenture. In the event the Company exercises such right of Mandatory Redemption the Company shall pay the Holder in U.S. currency 120% of that portion of the Debenture being redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any.  The redemption amount shall be paid to the Holder within five (5) calendar days of the date the Holder receives written notice from the Company of the Mandatory Redemption notice and if not paid in such time the Company shall not be entitled to any further Mandatory Redemption.


Article 5

Mergers

The Company shall not consolidate or merge into, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, any person, unless such person assumes in writing the obligations of the Company under this Debenture and immediately after such transaction no Event of Default exists.  Any reference herein to the Company shall refer to such surviving or transferee corporation and the obligations of the Company shall terminate upon such written assumption.


Article 6   Reports

The Company will mail to the Holder hereof at its address as shown on the Register a copy of any annual, quarterly or current report that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission promptly after the filing thereof and a copy of any annual, quarterly or other report or proxy statement that it gives to its shareholders generally at the time such report or statement is sent to shareholders.

Events of Default.  An “Event of Default” occurs if (a) the Company does not make the payment of the principal of this Debenture by conversion into Common Stock within ten (10) business days of the Maturity Date, upon redemption or otherwise, (b) the Company does not make a payment, other than a payment of principal, for a period of five (5) business days thereafter, (c) any of the Company’s representations or warranties contained in the Subscription Agreement or this Debenture were false when made or the Company fails to comply with any of its other agreements in the Subscription Agreement or this Debenture and such failure continues for the period and after the notice specified below, (d) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined):  (i) commences a voluntary case; (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian (as hereinafter defined) of it or for all or substantially all of its property or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (v) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:  (A) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case; (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for sixty (60) calendar days, (e) the Company’s Common Stock is suspended or no longer listed on any recognized exchange including electronic over-the-counter bulletin board for in excess of five (5) consecutive trading days.  As used in this Section 7.1, the term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors.  The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.  A default under clause (c) above is not an Event of Default until the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding notify the Company of such default and the Company does not cure it within thirty (30) business days after the receipt of such notice, unless the Company commences to cure such default within such period, which must specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that it is a “Notice of Default”. Prior to the expiration of the time for curing a default as set forth in the preceding sentence, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding (exclusive of Debentures then owned by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate) may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures, waive any past Event of Default hereunder (or any past event which, with the lapse of time or notice and lapse of time designated in subsection 6(a), would constitute an Event of Default hereunder) and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Debentures. In the case of any such waiver, such default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Debenture and the Company and the holders of the Debentures shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.


Section 7.2

Acceleration.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holder hereof by notice to the Company, may declare the remaining principal amount of this Debenture, together with all accrued interest and any liquidated damages, to be due and payable.  Upon such declaration, the remaining principal amount shall be due and payable immediately.



Section 7.3

Concerning Seniority.  Except as disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings, no indebtedness of the Company is senior to this Debenture in right of payment, whether with respect to interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise.


Article 8

Registered Debentures


Section 8.1

Record Ownership.  The Company, or its attorney, shall maintain a register of the holders of the Debentures (the “Register”) showing their names and addresses and the serial numbers and principal amounts of Debentures issued to them.  The Register may be maintained in electronic, magnetic or other computerized form.  The Company may treat the person named as the Holder of this Debenture in the Register as the sole owner of this Debenture.   The Holder of this Debenture is the person exclusively entitled to receive payments of interest on this Debenture, receive notifications with respect to this Debenture, convert it into Common Stock and otherwise exercise all of the rights and powers as the absolute owner hereof.


Section 8.2

Worn or Lost Debentures.  If this Debenture becomes worn, defaced or mutilated but is still substantially intact and recognizable, the Company or its agent may issue a new Debenture in lieu hereof upon its surrender.   Where the Holder of this Debenture claims that the Debenture has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue a new Debenture in place of the original Debenture if the Holder so requests by written notice to the Company actually received by the Company before it is notified that the Debenture has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser and the Holder has delivered to the Company an indemnity bond in such amount and issued by such surety as the Company deems satisfactory together with an affidavit of the Holder setting forth the facts concerning such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and such other information in such form with such proof or verification as the Company may request.
