Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

See Item 3.02 below.

Section 3 - Securities and Trading Markets

Item 3.02  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On March 22, 2007, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which they agreed to issue up to $3,000,000 of principal amount of convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase 100,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Purchase Agreement”). The convertible notes have a 5 year term and bear interest at twelve percent (12%). Beginning on the 7th month following issuance, we are required to make amortizing payments of principal plus interest in the amount equal to $224,375.41. If a registration statement is effective, this amount can be satisfied by conversion of the debenture. The notes are convertible into our common stock pursuant to a “variable conversion price” equal to the lesser of $0.075 and 75% of the lowest bid price for our common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion. Provided, however, upon an event of default (as defined) this conversion price will be reduced to the lesser of the then current conversion price and 50% of the lowest bid price for the 15 trading days prior to conversion. In no event shall the conversion price be less than $0.001 per share. In addition, upon an event of default (as defined) the holder can exercise its right to increase the face amount of the Debenture by 10% for the first default and by 10% for each subsequent event of default. In addition, the Holder may else to increase the face amount by 2.5% per month paid as liquidated damages The maximum amount that the face amount may be increased by holder for all defaults under the note and any other transaction document is 30%,. The debenture is secured by a 1st lien, a guaranty by our subsidiary and a pledge of 4 million shares of Mr. Marmion’s series B preferred stock

Under the terms of these notes and the related warrants, the notes and the warrants are convertible/exercisable by any holder only to the extent that the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to such securities, together with the number of shares of common stock owned by such holder and its affiliates (but not including shares of common stock underlying unconverted shares of the note or unexercised portions of the warrants) would not exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth therein, the notes are redeemable by us at a rate of between 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes plus interest. In addition, so long as the average daily price of our common stock is below the “initial market price” (as defined) we may prepay a such monthly portion due on the outstanding notes and the investors agree that no conversions will take place during such month where this option is exercised by us.

The notes were issued with warrants to purchase up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.015 per share, subject to adjustment. To the extent that the shares of common stock underlying the warrant of not registered for resale, the warrant holder may designate a "cashless exercise option." This option entitles the warrant holders to elect to receive fewer shares of common stock without paying the cash exercise price. The number of shares to be determined by a formula based on the total number of shares to which the warrant holder is entitled, the current market value of the common stock and the applicable exercise price of the warrant.

We agreed to register the secondary offering and resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes, the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants by April 16, 2007.

We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the offer and sale of the notes and the warrants.

The paragraphs above describe certain of the material terms of the financing transaction with the Subscribers. Such description is not a complete description of the material terms of the financing transaction and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreements entered into in connection with the financing which are included as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In the event the Holder does not elect to complete such financing within such period, the Company may proceed with the proposed third-party financing on the same terms and conditions as contained in the notice to Holder.

If at any time while the Debenture is outstanding, if the Company issues or agrees to issue any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding prior to the execution of this Agreement) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion price per share less than the Conversion Price, with or without the consent of the Holder, the Conversion Price shall automatically be reduced to the price of the new issuance provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price be less than the Floor Conversion Price (as defined in the Debenture) and provided, further, that no adjustment shall be made in the event the Company issues or distributes shares or its Common Stock in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements, the entering into or acquiring of material contracts in connection with the Company’s business as currently being conducted, and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and are not issued for services, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans in existence on the date hereof, (iv) the conversion of any notes, debentures or exercise of any warrants in existence on the date hereof, (v) as a result of the exercise of Warrants or conversion of Debentures which are granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement, (v) the payment of any interest on the Debenture issued pursuant to this Agreement and liquidated damages, or damages pursuant to the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Subscription Agreement, and (vi) as has been described in the Reports or Other Written Information filed with the Commission or delivered to the Holder prior to the Closing Date.

The rights of the Holder in this Section are in addition to any other right the Holder has pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

In the event the exercise of the rights described in the preceding paragraph would result in the issuance of an amount of Common Stock of the Company that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to the Holder calculated in the manner described in Section 3.d. of this Subscription Agreement, then the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to such Subscriber will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Subscriber is able to beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the maximum amount set forth calculated in the manner described in Section 3.d. of this Subscription Agreement.

2.    Registration.

a. Mandatory Registration. On or before April 16, 2007, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements (as is necessary) covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement(s) shall state that, in accordance with Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. The Company shall initially register for resale an amount of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable on the date preceding the filing of the Registration Statement based on the Conversion Price (as defined in the Debenture) of the Debenture and the amount reasonably calculated that represents the number of shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Warrant; or, an amount equal to the maximum amount allowed under Rule 415 (a)(1)(i) as interpreted by the SEC. In the event the Company cannot register sufficient shares of Common Stock, due to the remaining number of authorized shares of Common Stock being insufficient, the Company will use its best efforts to register the maximum number of shares it can based on the remaining balance of authorized shares and will use all commercially reasonable best efforts to increase the number of its authorized shares as soon as reasonably practicable.

b. The Company shall use all commercially reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement filed with the SEC by April 16, 2007 (“Filing Deadline”). If the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof is not filed by the Filing Deadline, then the Company shall pay the Holder the sum of two percent (2%) per month of the Face Amount of the Debentures outstanding as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty. In addition, if the Company fails to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline, and for each fifteen (15) day calendar period the Company fails to file the Registration Statement, the Conversion Price of the Debentures will decrease by ten percent (10%) of the original Conversion Price. By way of illustration only and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that upon the April 17, 2007, the Registration Statement has not been filed with the SEC, the Conversion Price shall decrease by seven and one-half tenths of a cent ($0.0075) per share (i.e., $.075 x 10% = $0.0075). The Holder shall have the right to lower the Conversion Price as described herein, at the time of each conversion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amounts payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 2 shall not be payable to the extent any delay in the filing of the Registration Statement occurs because of an act of, or a failure to act or to act timely by the Holder or is otherwise attributable to the Holder.

3

 
The liquidated damages set forth in this Section 2 shall continue until the obligation is fulfilled and shall be paid, at the Holder's option in cash or common stock priced at the Conversion Price, or portion thereof, until the Registration Statement is filed.

The Company acknowledges that its failure to have the Registration Statement filed by April 16, 2007, will cause the Holder to suffer irreparable harm, and, that damages 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 register the Common Stock and deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Debenture.

c. The Company shall use all commercially reasonable best efforts and take all available steps to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) calendar days after the Filing Deadline. If the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof has not become effective within said 90-day period of time, then the Company shall pay the Holder the sum of two percent (2%) of the Face Amount as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, for each thirty (30) calendar day period, pro rata, following the ninety (90) calendar day period until the Registration Statement becomes effective provided, however, that if the delay in obtaining effectiveness is due to certain information requested by the SEC related to Holder, then Holder shall not be entitled to receive the liquidated damages set forth under this paragraph.
 
If the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof has become effective, and, thereafter, the Holder’s right to sell is suspended, for any reason other than an Allowed Delay (as defined under Section 3(e)), then the Company shall pay the Holder the sum of two percent (2%) of the Face Amount plus interest and penalties due to the Holder for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Subscription Agreement for each five (5) calendar day period, pro rata, compounded daily, following the suspension, until such suspension ceases.

       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amounts payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 2 shall not be payable to the extent any delay in the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any suspension of the effectiveness occurs because of an act of, or a failure to act or to act timely by the Holder or is otherwise attributable to the Holder.

The damages set forth in this Section 2 shall continue until the obligation is fulfilled and shall be paid within five (5) business days after the end of each month in which they accrue.  

The Company acknowledges that its failure to have the Registration Statement become effective within said ninety (90) calendar day period or to permit the suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, will cause the Holder to suffer irreparable harm and, that damages 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 register the Common Stock and deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Debenture.

4

 
d.  The Company agrees to only register such securities as are necessary to meet its obligations to the Holder and agrees not to register additional securities without the Holder's prior written consent, to be agreed upon in writing by the Holder before the Filing Date. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it will not file any other Registration Statement, including those on Form S-8 or Form S-4, for other securities, until one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days after the Effective Date unless it has the prior written approval from the Holder or there are no further obligation under the Transaction Documents. Failure to obtain prior written approval from the Holder will cause the Holder to suffer damages that will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the Parties agree that it is appropriate to include a provision for liquidated damages and the Company agrees to pay the Holder the sum of two percent (2%) of the Face Amount as liquidated damages and not as a penalty for each thirty (30) calendar day period, pro rata, until the unauthorized Registration Statement is withdrawn.
 
3.    Related Obligations.

At such time as the Company is obligated to prepare and file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, the Company will use all commercially reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, with respect thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

a. The Company shall use all commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective within ninety (90) calendar days after the Filing Deadline and shall keep such Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act until the date on which (A) the Holder shall have sold all the Registrable Securities or the shares included therein otherwise cease to be Registrable Securities, and (B) the Holder has no right to convert the securities it owns into Common Stock under the Subscription Agreement, Debenture or Warrant, respectively (the “Registration Period”), which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall, as of the date thereof, not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The Company shall respond to any and all SEC comments or correspondence, whether written or oral, direct or indirect, formal or informal (“Comments”), within fifteen (15) business days of receipt by the Company of such Comments. If the Company fails to respond within 15 business days of receipt of SEC Comments, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to two percent (2%) per month, on a pro rata basis, of the Face Amount as liquidated damages and not as a penalty; provided that the 30 day period provided herein shall be extended as may be required by delays caused by Holder's counsel pursuant to Section 3(g) hereof, and, provided further, that such 30 day period shall be extended five (5) business days for responses to SEC staff accounting comments. The Company shall request acceleration of effectiveness of Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities no later than two (2) business days after notice from the SEC that the Registration Statement has been cleared of all comments. Failure to do so will result in the Face Amount of the Debentures to be increased (subject to the Damages Cap (as defined in the Debenture), as liquidated damages, by five percent (5%) per calendar day for each day that the Company does not request acceleration for effectiveness from the SEC.

5


b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holder as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the event the number of shares of Common Stock available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is at any time insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend such Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after the necessity therefor arises (based on the then Purchase Price of the Common Stock and other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably elects to rely), assuming the Company has sufficient authorized shares at that time, and if it does not, within thirty (30) calendar days after such shares are authorized. The Company shall use it best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.

Prior to conversion of the Debenture if at any time the conversion of the Debenture would result in an insufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock being available to cover all the conversions, or in the event that Holder deems that the shares of Common Stock authorized will become insufficient to honor conversion of the Debenture, the Company will move to call and hold a shareholder’s meeting within thirty (30) calendar days for the sole purpose of authorizing additional shares of Common Stock to facilitate the conversions. In such an event the Company shall recommend to all shareholders and management of the Company to vote their shares in favor of increasing the authorized number of shares of Common Stock in sufficient number to fully cover the Holder's conversion rights. The Company represents and warrants that except as otherwise set forth under the Transaction Documents it will not deny or prevent Holder’s right to convert the Shares as permitted under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. The Holder retains the right to request additional shares upon the determination the company may not be able to facilitate conversions in the future.

6

 
c. The Company shall furnish to the Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement and its legal counsel without charge and upon request (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and, with regards to such Registration Statement(s), any correspondence by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC and any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, a copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Holder may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Holder may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities. The Company filing the documents described in this paragraph through EDGAR shall constitute delivery.
 
d. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as reasonably specified by the Holder, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Holder who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify each Holder of the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to any Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Holder as such Holder may reasonably request; provided that, for not more than twenty five (25) consecutive trading days (or a total of not more than fifty (50) trading days while there is an outstanding balance on the Debenture), the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company (as well as prospectus or Registration Statement updating) the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, however, that such 25 and 50 day grace periods shall be extended to 45 and 90 days, respectively, in the event that such Allowed Delay is pursuant to an acquisition by the Company which is required to be reported under Item 2 of Form 8-K and for which pro forma financial information is required to be reported pursuant to Regulation S-X (or Regulation S-B) promulgated under the 1933 Act and provided, further, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Holders in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of a Holder, shall the Company disclose to such holder any of the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay and (ii) advise the Holder in writing to cease all sales under such Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay. The Holder shall be given no less than two trading days prior notice by the Company that an Allowed Delay is about to occur. Upon expiration of the Allowed Delay, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of this Section 3e. with respect to the information giving rise thereto.

It is the intention of the parties that interest payable under any of the terms of this Agreement shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under any applicable law. If a law, which applies to this Agreement which sets the maximum interest amount, is finally interpreted so that the interest in connection with this Agreement exceeds the permitted limits, then: (1) any such interest shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the interest to the permitted limit; and (2) any sums already collected (if any) from the Company which exceed the permitted limits will be refunded to the Company. The Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the amount that the Company owes under this Agreement or by making a direct payment to the Company. If a refund reduces the amount that the Company owes the Holder, the reduction will be treated as a partial payment. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 
f.  The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Holder of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof. The Company will immediately notify the Holder of a proceeding, or threat of proceeding, the result of which could effect the effectiveness of the registration statement.

g. The Company shall permit the Holder and its counsel, of the Holder's choosing, to review and comment upon all Registration Statements, amendments and supplements, at least seven (7) days prior to filing. The Company shall not file any Registration Statement with which Holder or its counsel reasonably objects.

8

 
h. At the request of the Holder, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Holder, on the date of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in the form of Exhibit D attached to the Subscription Agreement.

i. The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) the Holder and (ii) one firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Holder (collectively, the “Inspectors”) all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to the Holder) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which the Inspector has knowledge. The Holder agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.

j. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Holder unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Holder and allow the Holder, at the Holder's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

k. The Company shall use all commercially reasonable best efforts to secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement on the Principal Market. If, despite the Company's best efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying this obligation, it shall use its best efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be listed on each other national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or system. If, despite the Company's best efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying its obligation in this Section, it will use its best efforts to secure the inclusion for quotation with Pink Sheets, LLC. The Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(k).

9

 
l. The Company shall cooperate with the Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Holder may reasonably request and registered in such names of the Persons who shall acquire such Registrable Securities from the Holder, as the Holder may request.

m. The Company shall provide a transfer agent for all the Registrable Securities not later than the Closing Date of the first Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto.

n. If requested by the Holder, the Company shall (i) as soon as reasonably practical, incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as Holder reasonably determines should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by Holder.

o. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

p. The Company shall make available to the Holder as soon as reasonably practical, but not later than ninety (90) calendar days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a 12-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following the effective date of any Registration Statement. Filing via EDGAR shall constitute delivery.

q. The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.

r. Within one (1) business day after the Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities, with copies to the Holder, confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Failure to do so will result in the Face Amount on the Debentures to be increased by two percent (2%) per day, as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty.

10

 
s. After the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective, the Company shall file a prospectus covering the resale of the Shares (“Prospectus”) within two (2) trading days. In the event the Company fails to file a final prospectus within two (2) trading days of the Effective Date, then the Company shall pay the Holder the sum of five percent (5%) of the Face Amount due to the Holder for each two (2) trading day period, pro-rata, compounded daily, following the two (2) trading day period until the Prospectus is filed.

t. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Holder of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

4.    Obligations Of The Holder.

a. At least five (5) calendar days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the information the Company requires from the Holder. The Holder covenants and agrees that, in connection with any resale of Registrable Securities by it pursuant to a Registration Statement, it shall comply with the “Plan of Distribution” section of the current prospectus relating to such Registration Statement.

b. The Holder, by the Holder's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder and in responding to SEC comments in connection therewith.

c. The Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) hereof or the first sentence of Section 3(e) hereof, the Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) hereof or the first sentence of Section 3(e) hereof.

5.    Expenses Of Registration.

All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 2 and Section 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printing and accounting fees, and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by, and are the sole obligation of, the Company.

6.    Indemnification.

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

11


a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby agrees to, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Holder who holds such Registrable Securities, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(c) hereof with respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse the Holder and each such controlling person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation committed by any Indemnified Person or which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus were timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof; (ii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on (a) a failure of the Holder to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company or (b) the Indemnified Person's use of an incorrect prospectus despite being promptly advised in advance by the Company in writing not to use such incorrect prospectus; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Holder pursuant to the Registration Statement.

12

 
b. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, any underwriter and any other shareholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such shareholder or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation by such Investor, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and subject to Section 6(c) such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses (promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable) reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Holder shall be liable under this Agreement (including this Section 6(b) and Section 7) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented.

c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, 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, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such counsel shall be selected by the Holder, if the Holder is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if the Company is entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

13

 
d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

7.    Contribution.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 hereof to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 hereof; (ii) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

14

 
8.    Reports Under The Exchange Act.
 
With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”) the Company agrees to:
 
a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents as are required by the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

c. furnish to the Holder so long as the Holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (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 to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

10.   Amendment Of Registration Rights.

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of both the Company and the Holder of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon the Holder and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the Holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

11.   Miscellaneous.

a. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided a confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

Re: Marmion Industries Corp..

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are counsel to Marmion Industries Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") entered into by and among the Company and Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Holder”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to the Holder shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holder (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the Subscription Agreement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 200__, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form ________ (File No. 333-________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names the Holder as a selling shareholder thereunder.

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act at [enter the time of effectiveness] on [enter the date of effectiveness] and to the best of our knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, no stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
 
Very truly yours,

Amounts of conversion of Face Amount and Interest made by Holder or the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 or Article 3, amounts redeemed pursuant to 2.1(f) shall first be applied to reduce the amount of the Face Amount.

(b)  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Debenture, the Company may pay in full to the Holder the Face Amount, or any balance remaining thereon, in readily available funds, at any time and from time to time without penalty.

(c)  After the date on which United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”) declares the registration statement (the “Registration Statement") covering the shares underlying the conversion of this Debenture (the “Conversion Shares”) effective the “Effective Date”), the Holder, at its sole option, shall be entitled to either (i) request a cash payment for any amounts due and payable under Article 1 or this Article 2, from the Company in the amounts set forth above (or such lesser amount as set forth in Payment Notice, as determined by the Holder); or (ii) elect to convert a portion of this Debenture pursuant to Article 3 hereof in an amount equal to or greater than the Amortizing Payment Amount; provided, however, that any Amortizing Payment Amount submitted for Conversion shall consist of the Interest and the remainder shall be applied to reduce the principal of the Debenture. In the event the Holder is unable to convert that portion of this Debenture equal to the Amortizing Payment Amount during any calendar month, the Holder may elect to request from the Company the remaining Amortizing Payment Amount then due, in cash on the Payment Date (each, a “Cash Payment”). In addition, in any month where the Holder’s Conversions exceed the Amortizing Payment Amount (the “Excess”), the Cash Payment due on the Amortizing Payment Amount in the month(s) following shall be reduced by the amount of such Excess but in no event shall such Excess be applied to more than 2 successive Payment Dates. For example, if Holder converted $800,000 in month 8, the Excess would equal $575,624.59.  Accordingly, this would reduce the Holder’s right to request any Cash Payments of the Company in month 9 and month 10 to zero.  However, no reduction would be made to the Amortizing Monthly Amount due in month 11 despite the remaining Excess. The Holder will send to the Company a notice (a “Payment Notice”) 4 business days prior to each Payment Date under which it will set forth the aggregate dollar amount of this Debenture actually converted during such month and the Cash Payment due, if any, on the Payment Date for such month.

2

 
(d)  Nothing contained in this Article 2 shall limit the amount the Holder can elect to convert during a calendar month except as defined in Section 3.2 (i) hereof.

(e)  All Payments made under this Article 2 shall be applied toward the total Redemption Amount as outlined in Article 14 hereof.

(f)  The Company may make additional payments toward Redemption (“Prepayments”) without any penalties.
 
Article 3 Conversion.
 
Section 3.1 Conversion Privilege.
 
(a)  The Holder of this Debenture shall have the right to convert (a “Conversion”) any and all amounts owing under this Debenture into shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at any time following the Closing Date (as such term is defined in that certain Debenture Registration Rights Agreement, of even date herewith, by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Debenture Registration Rights Agreement”) but which is before the close of business on the Maturity Date, except as set forth in Section 3.2(c) hereof. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Conversion of this Debenture is determined pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof and rounding the result up to the nearest whole share.
 
(b) This Debenture may not be converted, whether in whole or in part, except in accordance with this 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 shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock on such date in the manner set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
 
Section 3.2 Conversion Procedure.
 
(a) Conversion Procedures. The Holder may elect to convert the unpaid Face Amount of and accrued Interest on this Debenture, in whole or in part, at any time following the Closing Date. Such Conversion shall be effectuated by the Holder sending to the Company a facsimile or electronic mail version of the signed Notice of Conversion, attached hereto as Exhibit A, which evidences the Holder’s intention to convert the Debenture as indicated. The date on which the Notice of Conversion is delivered (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder has delivered to the Company a facsimile or electronic mail of the signed Notice of Conversion. Notwithstanding the above, any Notice of Conversion received after 5:00 P.M. Boston Time shall be deemed to have been received the following business day, with receipt being via a confirmation of time of facsimile of the Holder.
 
3

 
(b) Common Stock to be Issued.  Upon the Holder's Conversion of any Debenture, the Company shall issue the number of shares of Common Stock equal to amount of the Debenture being converted divided by the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2(c)). If, at the time of Conversion, the Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue stock certificates without restrictive legend (other than a legend referring to such Registration Statement and prospectus delivery requirements) or stop transfer instructions. If, at the time of the Holder's Conversion, the Registration Statement has not been declared effective, the Company shall instruct the transfer agent to issue the certificates with an appropriate legend. The Company shall act as Registrar and shall maintain an appropriate ledger containing the necessary information with respect to this Debenture. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder 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 otherwise set forth herein.
 
(c) Conversion Price.  The Holder is entitled to convert the unpaid Face Amount of this Debenture, plus accrued interest, any time following a Closing Date, at the lesser of the following prices (the “Conversion Price”): (i) seventy-five percent (75%) of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to a Conversion Notice; or (ii) seven and one-half cents ($.075) (the “Maximum Conversion Price”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price be less than $.001 (The “Floor Conversion Price”). No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued upon Conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded up, in the event of a partial share, to the nearest whole share. The Holder shall retain all rights of Conversion during any partial trading days.
 
(d) Maximum Interest. Nothing contained in this Debenture shall be deemed to establish or require the Company to pay interest to the Holder at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the rate of interest required to be paid thereunder shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted under applicable law and such excess, if so ordered, shall be credited on any remaining balances due to the Holder. In the event that the interest rate on this Debenture is required to be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.2(d), then the parties hereto agree that the terms of this Debenture shall remain in full force and effect except as is necessary to make the interest rate comply with applicable law.
 
(e) Opinion Letter. 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 or entity 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. The Company hereby acknowledges that the date of consideration for this Debenture is the Issuance Date and shall use all commercially reasonable best efforts to facilitate sales under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
 
4

 
(f) Delivery of Shares.
 
(i)   Within three (3) business days after receipt of the Notice of Conversion (the “Certificate Deadline”), the Company shall deliver a certificate, in accordance with Section 3.2(c) hereof for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a Conversion. In the event the Company does not make delivery of said certificate by the Certificate Deadline, the Company shall pay to Holder in cash, as liquidated damages, an additional fee per business day equal to two percent (2%) of the dollar value of the Debentures being converted.
 
(ii)   If the failure of the Company to issue the certificate pursuant to this Article 3.2(f) is due to the unavailability of a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company, then the provisions of this Article 3.2(f) shall apply as well as the provisions of Article 3.2(k) hereof shall apply.
 
(iii)   The Company shall make any payments required under this Article 3.2(f) by the 5th day of the month following the month in which it is accrued. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right, at the Holder's sole discretion, to pursue actual damages or cancel the conversion for the Company’s failure to issue and deliver the certificate by the Certificate Deadline.
 
(iv)   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 full amount of the Debentures then outstanding and due to the Holder, unless so waived by the Holder in writing. If, at any time, the 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 then currently available. Any Debentures or any portion thereof, which cannot be converted due to the Company's lack of sufficient authorized common stock (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 the Holder, by facsimile, within one (1) business days of such default.
 
(v)   In the event of Conversion Default, the Company will pay to the Holder an amount computed as follows (the “Conversion Default Rate”):
 
(N / 365) x (0.24) x (initial issuance price of outstanding and/or tendered but not converted Debentures held by the Holder)

5

 
Where N is equal to the number of days from the Conversion Default Date to the date that the Company authorizes a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to effect conversion of all remaining Debentures (the “Authorization Date”).
 
(vi)   The Company shall send notice to Holder of outstanding Debenture that additional shares of Common Stock have been authorized, stating the Authorization Date and the amount of Holder’s accrued Conversion Default Payments (“Authorization Notice”). 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, as follows: (i) in the event the Holder elects to take such payment in cash, cash payment shall be made to the Holder by the 5th day of the month following the month in which it was accrued, or (ii) in the event Holder elects to take such payment in stock, the Holder may convert at the Conversion Default Rate within five (5) business days until the expiration of the Conversion period.
 
(vii)   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 irreparable harm, and that damages 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. 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.
 
(viii)   If by the Certificate Deadline, any portion of the shares of the Debentures have not been delivered to the Holder and the Holder purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock necessary to make delivery of shares which would have been delivered if the full amount of the shares to be converted and delivered to the Holder by the Company (the “Covering Shares”), then the Company shall pay to the Holder, in addition to any other amounts due to the 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, minus (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 would be required to pay to the Holder would be $1,000.
 
6

 
(g) Prospectus and Other Documents. The Company shall furnish to the Holder one (1) prospectus and any other documents incidental to the registration of the Conversion Shares, including any amendment of or supplements thereto. Any filings submitted via EDGAR will constitute fulfillment of the Company's obligation under this Section.

(h) Limitation on Issuance of Shares. If the Company’s Common Stock becomes listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market after the issuance of this Debenture, the Company may be limited in the number of shares of Common Stock it may issue by virtue of (A) the number of authorized shares or (B) 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 necessary to issue the Conversion Shares without violating the Cap Regulations, and (ii) if, despite taking such steps, the Company cannot issue such Conversion Shares without violating the Cap Regulations or the Holder cannot convert as a result of the Cap Regulations (each such Debenture, an “Unconverted Debenture”) the Holder shall have the right to elect either of the following options:
 
(i)   if permitted by the Cap Regulations, require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock in accordance with the 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
 
(ii)   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 on which the Redemption Amount is paid to the holder (the “Redemption Date”).

The Holder may elect, without limitation, 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 Unconverted Debenture 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 Unconverted Debenture.
 
(i) 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 “Exchange Act”)), by the Holder, would exceed four and ninety-nine one hundredths percent (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 Exchange Act. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange 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 four and ninety-nine one hundredths percent (4.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such Conversion Date. However, nothing in this Section 3.2(i) shall be read to reduce the amount of principal, Interest or penalties, if any, due to the Holder.
 
7

 
(j) Legend. The Holder acknowledges that each certificate representing the Debentures, and the Common Stock unless registered pursuant to the Debenture 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, PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT (OR ANY SIMILAR RULE UNDER SUCH ACT RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES), OR (iii) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT.
 
(k) Prior to Conversion of this Debenture, 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 such as necessary to facilitate the Holder's 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 to an amount equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the remaining balance on this Debenture. Subject to Section 3(i) hereof, the Company represents and warrants that under no circumstances will it deny or prevent the Holder’s right to convert the Debentures as permitted under the terms of any of the Transaction Documents (as such term is defined in that certain Debenture Registration Rights Agreement, of even date herewith, by and between the Company and the Holder). Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Company to make the payments set forth in this Article 3. The Holder, at its sole option, may request the company to authorize and issue additional shares if the Holder feels it is necessary for Conversions in the future. 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 the sum of the principal of the outstanding Debentures plus accrued interest thereon multiplied by one hundred thirty-three percent (133%).
 
8

 
Section 3.3 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, to the nearest whole share.
 
Section 3.4 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 3.5 Company to Reserve Stock. The Company shall reserve and maintain the number of shares of Common Stock required pursuant to and upon the terms set forth in the Transaction Documents to permit the Conversion of this Debenture. All Conversion Shares shall, upon issuance by the Company, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear from all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.
 
Section 3.6 Restrictions on Sale. This Debenture has not been registered under the Securities Act and is being issued under Section 4(2) of Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. This Debenture and the Conversion Shares may only be sold pursuant to registration under or an exemption from the Securities Act.
 
Section 3.7 Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Maximum Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in the case of a subdivision of shares or stock dividend, or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case, by the ratio that the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

Article 4 Mergers.
 
The Company shall not consolidate or merge into, or transfer any or 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 (as defined below) exists. Any reference herein to the Company shall refer to such surviving or transferee corporation and the obligations of the Company shall terminate only upon such written assumption of the Company's obligation. In the event of a merger, or other consolidation, the Company shall give notice to the Holder simultaneously with the announcement to the public markets.

Article 6 Defaults and Remedies.
 
Section 6.1 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if any one of the following occur:

(b) the Company does not make a Payment in cash for a period of ten (10) business days when due as described in this Debenture;

(f) the Company materially breaches any covenant or condition of the Transaction Documents, and such breach, if subject to cure, continues for a period of five (5) business days; or,

(g) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC within twelve (12) months of the Issuance Date; provided, however, that if such delay in effectiveness is due to certain information requested by the SEC related to the Holder, then such failure to procure effectiveness shall not constitute an Event of Default.

10

 
(h). after the Effective Date, the Registration Statement is no longer effective for any reason whatsoever other than an Allowed Delay (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreeement) or if the Holder requests withdrawal of the Registration Statement. .

Section 6.2 Remedies.

(a) In the Event of Default, the Holder may elect to secure a portion of the Company's assets in Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement.

(b) In the Event of Default, as outlined in this Debenture, the Holder can exercise its right to increase the Face Amount of the Debenture by ten percent (10%) as an initial penalty, and by ten percent (10%) for each subsequent Event of Default. In addition, the Holder may elect to increase the Face Amount by two and one-half percent (2.5%) per month (pro-rata for partial periods) paid as liquated damages (“Liquidated Damages”); provided, however, that the maximum amount that Holder shall be entitled to increase the Face Amount of the Debenture for all defaults collectively under this Debenture and the Registration Rights Agreement is 30% of the Face Amount on the original date of issuance (the “Damages Cap”). It is the intention and acknowledgement of both parties that the Liquidated Damages not be deemed as interest or a penalty under the terms of this Debenture.

(c) In the event of Default, under Section 6.1(g) hereof, the Holder may elect to switch the Conversion Price of the Debenture as outlined in Section 3.2(c) above (“Default Conversion Price”). The Default Conversion Price shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price or (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock during the fifteen (15) trading days prior to conversion; provided, however, that in no event will the Default Conversion Price be less than the Floor Conversion Price. Upon written notice being sent to the Company by the Holder of Default under Section 6.1(g), and the Holder's election to exercise the remedy to switch the conversion price to the Default Conversion Price, the Company shall immediately withdraw the Registration Statement. Further, the Company agrees that the date of consideration for the Debenture shall remain the Issuance Date stated herein. The Company shall provide an opinion letter from counsel within two (2) business days of written request by the Holder stating that the date of consideration for the Debenture is the Issuance Date and submission of proper Rule 144 support documentation consisting of a Form 144, a broker's representation letter and a seller's representation letter. In the event the Company does not deliver the opinion letter within two business days, the Default Conversion Price shall immediately decrease by two percent (2%) for each business day an opinion letter fails to be delivered. In the event that counsel to the Company fails or refuses to render an opinion as required to issue the Shares in accordance with this paragraph (either with or without restrictive legends, as applicable), then the Company irrevocably and expressly authorizes counsel to the Holder to render such opinion and shall authorize the Transfer Agent to accept and to rely on such opinion for the purposes of issuing the Shares (which is attached as Exhibit E to that certain Subscription Agreement, of even date herewith, by and between the Company and the Holder). Any costs incurred by Holder for such opinion letter shall be added to the Face Amount of the Debenture.

11

 
Section 6.3 Acceleration. If an Event of Default occurs, the Holder 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 immediately due and payable in full.
 
Section 6.4 Seniority. The Company warrants that 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. The Company warrants that it has taken all necessary steps to subordinate its other obligations to the rights of the Holder hereunder.

(q) further agrees to take other action reasonably requested by the Secured Party to insure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of the Secured Party to enforce, the security interests in any and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC, to the extent, if any, that the Debtor’s signature thereon is required therefor, (ii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Secured Party to enforce, the security interests in such Collateral, (iii) obtaining governmental and other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent of any licensor, lessor or other Person obligated on Collateral, (iv) obtaining waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, and (v) taking all actions required by the UCC in effect from time to time or by other law, as applicable in any relevant UCC jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction.
 
4.03 Taxes, Assessments, Charges, and Other Impositions. Debtor shall pay and discharge promptly, on or before the date due, all taxes, assessments, charges, and other impositions imposed by any governmental authority on Debtor, or on the Collateral, relating to the ownership or use of the Collateral, or relating to any sale, lease, license or other disposition of the Collateral; provided, however, Debtor shall not be required to pay or discharge, or to cause to be paid or discharged, any such tax, assessment, charge, or other imposition so long as (a) the validity of such tax, assessment, charge or other imposition is being contested in good faith by Debtor by appropriate proceedings.

All such certificated Collateral shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party. Security Party shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to exchange certificates representing or evidencing such pledged Equity Interests for certificates of smaller or larger denominations. If any issuer of pledged Equity Intersets is organized in a jurisdiction which does not permit the use of certificates to evidence equity ownership, or if any of such pledged Equity Interests are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable Debtor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, record such pledge on the equityholder register or the books of the issuer, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete the pledge and give the Secured Party the right to transfer such pledged Equity Interests.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon written notice from the Secured Party, all rights of each Debtor to receive distributions otherwise permitted hereunder shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party. Any distributions which are received by any Debtor in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds of such Debtor and shall immediately be paid over to the Secured Party as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(a) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Secured Party may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make the Collateral available to Secured Party at a place designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to Secured Party and Debtor. If Secured Party requires Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make the Collateral available to Secured Party, as described in the preceding sentence, Debtor shall do so promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days after Secured Party gives Debtor a notice requesting Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make the Collateral available to Secured Party at the place designated by Secured Party. Without limiting Secured Party’s right to designate any place which is reasonably convenient to Debtor for making Collateral available to Secured Party, Debtor agrees that any place designated by Secured Party and located within one hundred (100) miles of any place where Debtor stores, uses, sells, leases, licenses, or maintains Collateral in the ordinary course of Debtor’s business shall be conclusively deemed to be a place reasonably convenient to Debtor for making the Collateral available to Secured Party.

(b) Secured Party may dispose of Collateral by public or private proceedings, by one or more contracts, as a unit or in parcels, and at any time and place and on any terms.
 
(c) Secured Party may purchase Collateral (1) at a public disposition or (2) if the Collateral is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at a private disposition.
 
(d) A contract for sale, lease, license, or other disposition includes the warranties relating to title, possession, quiet enjoyment, and the like which by operation of law accompany a voluntary disposition of property of the kind subject to the contract; provided, however, Secured Party may disclaim or modify such warranties (1) in a manner that would be effective to disclaim or modify the warranties in a voluntary disposition of property of the kind subject to the contract of disposition, or (2) by communicating to the purchaser a Record evidencing the contract for disposition and including an express disclaimer or modification of the warranties, and provided further that a Record is sufficient to disclaim such warranties if such Record indicates “There is no warranty relating to title, possession, quiet enjoyment, or the like in this disposition” or uses words of similar import.
 
(e) Prior to a disposition of Collateral, Secured Party shall give Debtor, and any other parties required to receive notice under Article 9 of the UCC, notification as required under Article 9 of the UCC before a sale, lease, license, or other disposition of Collateral.
 
6.06 Additional Provisions Regarding Sales and Other Dispositions. In the event that Secured Party shall sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the following additional provisions shall be applicable to such sale or other disposition:
 
(a) Such sale or other disposition may be at public or private sale (or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange) for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as Secured Party shall deem appropriate. Secured Party shall be authorized at any such sale (if Secured Party deems it advisable to do so with regard to any type or item of Collateral) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own use (or for their own account for investment, as applicable) and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale, Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of Debtor, and Debtor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which Debtor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Secured Party shall give Debtor at least ten (10) days’ written notice (which Debtor agrees is reasonable notice) of Secured Party’s intention to make any sale of Collateral owned by Debtor. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Secured Party may fix and state in the notice of such sale, and Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if Secured Party shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given, and Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice to Debtor or anyone else, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.
 
15

 
(b) In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such of the Collateral may be sold again upon notice to Debtor as set forth in this Section.
 
(c) At any public sale, Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of Debtor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to Secured Party from Debtor as a credit against the purchase price, and Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to Debtor therefor.
 
(d) For purposes of any sale of Collateral in accordance with this Agreement, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof. Secured Party shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement, and Debtor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after Secured Party shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.
 
(e) Upon any sale of Collateral by Secured Party (including a sale pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of Secured Party or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral being sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Secured Party or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

Secured Party agrees that it shall not exercise any power or authority granted under this power of attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
 
(b) NONE OF SECURED PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO DEBTOR FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and in addition to such other rights and remedies as Secured Party may have under other provisions of this Agreement or any other Finance Document, Secured Party may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies under common or statutory law. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Finance Document and no course of dealing between Debtor or any other Obligor or other Person and Secured Party shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Finance Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Secured Party would otherwise have and may be exercised simultaneously. No notice to or demand on Debtor in any case shall entitle Debtor or any other obligor or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Marmion Industries Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received from Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Island exempted company (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company up to a total of one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”), at an exercise price equal to one and one-half cent ($.015) per share (the “Exercise Price”). This Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis anytime after issuance through and including the fifth (5th) anniversary of its original issuance as noted above (the “Expiration Date”), subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall, from time to time and whenever requested by the Holder, register this Warrant in conformity with records to be maintained by the Company for such purpose (the “Warrant Register”) in the name of the Holder.

2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.

(a) The Company or the transfer agent shall enter or record the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at the office specified herein or pursuant to Section 11 hereof. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant hereinafter referred to as a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

At 5:00 P.M., Boston time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise redeem this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Holder, which consent shall be given or withheld at the sole and absolute discretion of the Holder.

(b) Subject to Section 2(b), Section 6 and Section 10 hereof, upon: (x) surrender of this Warrant, together with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 11 hereof; and (y) payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner provided hereunder, all as specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined below)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to the Holder in such name(s) as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise and free of restrictive legends unless (i) a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective or the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act then the Warrant Shares will bear a Securities Act restrictive legend, or (ii) this Warrant shall have been issued pursuant to a written agreement between the original Holder and the Company, as required by such agreement. Any person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (I) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), together with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed; and (II) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the holder hereof to be purchased.

(c) This Warrant shall be exercisable in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant. Subject to the limitations set forth under Section 9(c) below, in the event the Common Stock representing the Warrant Shares is not delivered per the written instructions of the Holder within five (5) business days after the Notice of Election and Warrant is received by the Company (the “Delivery Date”), then the Company shall pay to Holder in cash two percent (2.0%) of the dollar value of the Warrant Shares to be issued per each day after the Delivery Date that the Warrant Shares are not delivered. The Company acknowledges that its failure to deliver the Warrant Shares by the Delivery Date will cause the Holder to suffer damages in an amount that will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that it is appropriate to include in this Warrant this provision for liquidated damages. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this section represents the parties’ good faith effort to quantify such damages and therefore agree that the form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. The Company shall make any payments incurred under this Section 3 in immediately available funds by the 5th day of the month following the date such payment is accrued. Nothing herein shall limit Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or cancel the Notice of Election for the Company’s failure to issue and deliver Common Stock to the Holder within seven (7) business days following the Delivery Date.
 
4. Registration Rights. During the term of this Warrant, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder on or before April 16, 2007 (unless the Warrant Shares are otherwise freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act). The registration rights granted to the Holder pursuant to this Section shall continue until all of the Holder's Warrant Shares have been sold in accordance with an effective registration statement or upon the Expiration Date, or as otherwise provided in the Debenture Registration Rights Agreement entered into between the Company and the original Holder as of the original issuance date hereof. The Company will pay all registration expenses in connection therewith.

5. Payment of Taxes. Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

6. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to it. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.

7. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8 hereof). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that shall be so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. If the Company does not have a sufficient amount of Common Stock authorized to reserve for the Warrant Shares, it shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, use its best efforts to increase the number of its authorized shares such that the Company will have a sufficient amount of Common Stock authorized to reserve for the Warrant Shares.

8. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 8. Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 8, the Holder shall thereafter but prior to the Expiration Date be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

(a) An adjustment shall be made, if the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) pays a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on outstanding preferred stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated dividend rate) or otherwise make distribution(s) on shares of its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock and not the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock; (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares. If either (i), (ii) or (iii) above occurs, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination, and shall apply to successive subdivisions and combinations.
 
4


(b) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. The terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 8(b) upon any exercise following any such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange.

(c)  At any time while this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company distributes to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders of this Warrant) evidence of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in Section 8(a), Section 8(b) and Section 8(d) hereof), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Exercise Price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Exercise Price on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants that regularly examines the financial statements of the Company (the “Appraiser”).

(d) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued rights or warrants to acquire or otherwise sell or distribute shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the lower of the Exercise Price then in effect and the then fair market value of the Common Stock, then, forthwith upon such issue or sale, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price (calculated to the nearest one hundredth of a cent) determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (or to be received, assuming exercise or conversion in full of such rights, warrants and convertible securities) for the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock would purchase at the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made in the event the Company issues or distributes shares or its Common Stock in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements, the entering into or acquiring of material contracts in connection with the Company’s business as currently being conducted, and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and are not issued for services, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans in existence on the date hereof, (iv) the conversion of any notes, debentures or exercise of any warrants in existence on the date hereof, (v0 as a result of the exercise of Warrants or conversion of Debentures which are granted or issued pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement dated as of March 22, 2007 pursuant to which this Warrant was issued (the “Subscription Agreement”), (v) the payment of any interest on the Debenture issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and liquidated damages, or damages pursuant to the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Subscription Agreement, and (vi) as has been described in the Reports or Other Written Information filed with the Commission or delivered to the Holder prior to the Closing Date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made.
 
5


(e) For the purposes of this Section 8, the following clauses shall also be applicable:

(i) Record Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or in securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
 
6


(ii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(f) All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

(g) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 8(c) hereof, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case the adjustment shall be equal to the average of the adjustments recommended by each of the Appraiser and such additional appraiser appointed under this Section 8(g). The Holder shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to the Company, a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above, if:

(i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock;
 
(ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock;

(iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights;

(iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or

(v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; provided, however, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

9. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder, at its sole election, may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder shall deliver immediately available funds; or
(b) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after one year from the date of issuance of this Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder at such time, this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a cashless exercise. In such event, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, together with a notice of cashless exercise, and the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

X = Y (A-B)/A

where:
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.

A = the average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the Date of Exercise on which the Common Stock actually trades.

B = the Exercise Price.

For purposes of Rule 144 of the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been commenced, on the issue date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Holder is limited in the amount of this Warrant it may exercise. In no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any amount of this Warrant in excess of that amount upon exercise of which the sum of (1) 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 amended (the “Exchange Act”)) by the Holder, and (2) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of any Warrants then owned by Holder, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder of more than four and ninety-nine one hundredths percent (4.99%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, as determined in accordance with Rule13d-1(j) of the Exchange Act. Furthermore, the Company shall not process any exercise that would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder of more than four and ninety-nine one hundredths percent (4.99%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
 
8


10. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 10, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

11. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section prior to 5:00 p.m. Boston time on a business day, (ii) the business day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section later than 5:00 p.m. Boston time on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. Boston time on such date, (iii) the business day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

12. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon thirty (30) days notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further action. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

(h) This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Warrant.

(i) This Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be assignable by the Company.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree to the following: (i) Holder makes no representations or covenants that it will not engage in trading in the securities of the Company; (ii) the Company shall, within 4 business days following the date hereof, file a current report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Transaction Documents; (ii) the Company has not and shall not provide material non-public information to the Holder unless prior thereto the Holder Party shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information; and (iii) the Company understands and confirms that the Holder will be relying on the acknowledgements set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above if the Holder effects any transactions in the securities of the Company.
