PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; METHOD OF PAYMENT
1.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. Payment of the principal and accrued interest on this Debenture shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the number of days elapsed) on the unpaid portion of said principal amount from time to time outstanding shall be paid by the Company in cash at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, in like coin and currency, or at the option of the Company during the first four quarters ending August 1, 2012, in shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), payable to the Payee in annual installments on each July 7 during the term of this Debenture (an “Interest Payment Date”), with the first Interest Payment Date hereunder scheduled to be July 7, 2012 and the last Interest Payment Date to be on the Maturity Date. Interest shall accrue from the Issuance Date. Both principal hereof and interest thereon are payable at the Holder’s address above or such other address as the Holder shall designate from time to time by written notice to the Company. The Company will pay or cause to be paid all sums becoming due hereon for principal and interest by check, sent to the Holder’s above address or to such other address as the Holder may designate for such purpose from time to time by written notice to the Company, without any requirement for the presentation of this Debenture or making any notation thereon, except that the Holder hereof agrees that payment of the final amount due shall be made only upon surrender of this Debenture to the Company for cancellation.
1.2 If there is an election to pay the interest due on a particular Interest Payment Date in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), the number of shares issued as payment of the accrued interest shall be equal to the quotient of the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest divided by the Market Price (as defined in Section 4.1 hereof) on the Interest Payment Date. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares will be issued upon the payment of accrued interest, but a payment in cash will be made, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable in connection with the payment of accrued interest in shares of Common Stock.
1.3 Prior to any sale or other disposition of this instrument, the Holder hereof agrees to endorse hereon the amount of principal paid hereon and the last date to which interest has been paid hereon and to notify the Company of the name and address of the transferee in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4 of this Debenture.

In the event that: (a) there shall be a consolidation, merger or acquisition of the Company with, into or by any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, acquisition or reorganization, own less than 50% of the Company’s voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or acquisition, by vote or value, on a fully diluted basis, or (b) the Market Price (as defined in Section 6.1 hereof) of the Common Stock on any day is equal to or greater than $0.25 per share, at the option of the Company, the principal of this Debenture, in whole or in part, shall be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 2.6.

The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued under this Debenture if fully converted. The Company also covenants that all of the shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon conversion of this Debenture shall, at the time of delivery, be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof (other than those which the Company shall promptly pay or discharge).

ARTICLE III
ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE
3.1 Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided.
3.2 Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock.
(a) (i) If and whenever after the date hereof the Company shall issue or sell any Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than $0.08 then, forthwith, upon such issue or sale, the Conversion Price shall be reduced (but not increased, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3.2(b) or 3.4), to the price (calculated to the nearest one-ten thousandth of a cent) determined by dividing (x) an amount equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale multiplied by the then existing Conversion Price plus (B) the consideration received by the Company upon such issue or sale by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.
3
(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.2, no adjustment shall be made in the Conversion Price in the event that the Company issues, in one or more transactions, (A) Common Stock upon exercise of any options issued to officers, directors or employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option plan or an employment, severance or consulting agreement as now or hereafter in effect, in each case approved by the Board of Directors (provided that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issuable, including options issued prior to the date hereof, under all such employee plans and agreements shall at no time exceed the number of such shares of Common Stock on the date hereof on a fully diluted basis that are authorized for issuance under currently effective employee plans and agreements); (B) Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture or any other currently issued Debenture; (C) Common Stock upon exercise of any stock purchase warrant or option (other than the options referred to in clause (A) above), any other right to purchase or other convertible security outstanding on the date hereof; or (D) Common Stock issued as consideration in connection with acquisitions. In addition, for purposes of calculating any adjustment of the Conversion Price as provided in this Section 3.2, all of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any of the foregoing shall be assumed to be outstanding prior to the event causing such adjustment to be made.
(b) For purposes of this Section 3.2(b), the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any time after the date hereof the Company shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called “Convertible Securities”), whether or not such rights or options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such rights or options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of such rights or options, or plus, in the case of such rights or options that relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options) shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect as of the date of granting such rights or options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options shall be deemed to be outstanding as of the date of the granting of such rights or options and to have been issued for such price per share, with the effect on the Conversion Price specified in Section 3.2(a) hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.2(b) hereof, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such rights or options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(ii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any right or option referred to in Section 3.2(b)(i) above, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3.2(b)(i) hereof, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3.2(b)(i) hereof, are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be readjusted (increased or decreased, as the case may be) to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at such time had such rights, options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. On the expiration of any such option or right referred to in Section 3.2(b)(i) hereof, or on the termination of any such right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3.2(b)(i) hereof, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be readjusted (increased or decreased, as the case may be) to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such right, option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been granted, issued or sold, and the Common Stock issuable thereunder shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding. If the purchase price provided for in Section 3.2(b)(i) hereof or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3.2(b)(i) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall be reduced at any time under or by reason of provisions with respect thereto designed to protect against dilution, then in case of the delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such right or option or upon conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall, if not already adjusted, forthwith be adjusted to such amount as would have obtained had such right, option or Convertible Securities never been issued as to such Common Stock and had adjustments been made upon the issuance of the Common Stock delivered as aforesaid, but only if as a result of such adjustment the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder is thereby reduced.

(iii) Consideration for Stock. In case at any time Common Stock or Convertible Securities or any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor plus any brokerage or placement fees and commissions. In case at any time any Common Stock, Convertible Securities or any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In case at any time any Common Stock, Convertible Securities or any rights or options to purchase any Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as the Board of Directors may determine to be attributable to such Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or options as the case may be. In case at any time any rights or options to purchase any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of the Company, together consisting of one integral transaction in which no consideration is allocated to such rights or options by the parties, such rights or options shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.
(iv) 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 Convertible Securities, or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Common Stock or Convertible Securities deemed to have been issued or sold as a result of 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 ease may be.
(v) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned directly by the Company in treasury, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 3.2.
3.3 Stock Dividends. In case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any shares of the Company, payable in Common Stock or Convertible Securities, any Common Stock or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.
3.4 Stock Splits and Reverse Splits. In the event that the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Shares into which this Debenture may be converted immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall at any time be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares into which this Debenture may be converted immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately reduced. Except as provided in this Section 3.4 no adjustment in the Conversion Price and no change in the number of shares shall be made under this Article III as a result of or by reason of any such subdivision or combination.
5
3.5 Reorganizations and Asset Sales. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation, merger or share exchange of the Company with another Person, or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets to another Person shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive capital stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for their shares, then the following provisions shall apply:
(a) As a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, transfer or other disposition (except as otherwise provided below in Section 5.3(c)), lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the holder of this Debenture shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the terms and conditions specified in this Debenture and in lieu of the shares immediately theretofore receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such shares of capital stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares immediately theretofore so receivable had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange or sale not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision reasonably satisfactory to such holder shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of such holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares receivable upon the exercise) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, in relation to any shares of capital stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Debenture.
(b) In the event of a merger, share exchange or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person as a result of which a number of shares of common stock or its equivalent of the successor Person greater or lesser than the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such merger, share exchange or consolidation are issuable to holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such merger, share exchange or consolidation shall be adjusted in the same manner as though there were a subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(c) The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, transfer or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation, share exchange or merger or the Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets shall have assumed by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of capital stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to receive, and all other liabilities and obligations of the Company hereunder. Upon written request by the Holder hereof, such Successor Person will issue a new Debenture revised to reflect the modifications in this Debenture effected pursuant to this Section 3.5.
(d) If a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company shall not effect any consolidation, merger, share exchange or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets with the Person having made such offer or with any affiliate of such Person, unless prior to the consummation of such consolidation, merger, share exchange, sate, transfer or other disposition the holder hereof shall have been given a reasonable opportunity to then elect to receive upon the conversion of this Debenture either the capital stock, securities or assets then issuable with respect to the Common Stock or the capital stock, securities or assets, or the equivalent, issued to previous holders of the Common Stock in accordance with such offer.
3.6 Adjustment for Asset Distribution. If the Company declares a dividend or other distribution payable to all holders of shares of Common Stock in evidences of indebtedness of the Company or other assets of the Company (including, cash (other than regular cash dividends declared by the Board of Directors), capital stock (other than Common Stock, Convertible Securities or options or rights thereto) or other property), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such declaration of such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such dividend or distribution payable per share of Common Stock, in the case of a cash dividend or distribution, or by the fair value of such dividend or distribution per share of Common Stock (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company), in the case of any other dividend or distribution. Such reduction shall be made whenever any such dividend or distribution is made and shall be effective as of the date as of which a record is taken for purpose of such dividend or distribution or, if a record is not taken, the date as of which holders of record of Common Stock entitled to such dividend or distribution are determined.
6
3.7 De Minimis Adjustments. No adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one share of Common Stock purchasable upon conversion of this Debenture and no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $.01 in the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 3.7 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations shall be made to the nearest full share or nearest one hundredth of a dollar, as applicable.
3.8 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Price or the number of Shares issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture shall be adjusted as herein provided, or the rights of the holder hereof shall change by reason of other events specified herein, the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price and the adjusted number of Shares in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall prepare an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the adjusted number of Shares issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture or specifying the other shares of stock, securities or assets receivable as a result of such change in rights, and showing in reasonable detail the facts and calculations upon which such adjustments or other changes are based. The Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder hereof copies of such Officer’s Certificate together with a notice stating that the Conversion Price and the number of Shares purchasable upon conversion of this Debenture have been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the adjusted number of Shares purchasable upon conversion of this Debenture. The Company’s failure to comply with this Section 3.8 shall not in and of itself be conclusive evidence that there was not an event requiring a change in the Conversion Price or the number of Shares issuable under this Debenture.
3.9 Notifications to Holder. In case at any time the Company proposes:
(a) to declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in capital stock or make any special dividend or other distribution (other than cash dividends) to the holders of its Common Stock;
(b) to offer for subscription pro rata to all of the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of capital stock of any class or other rights;
(c) to effect any capital reorganization, or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation, merger or share exchange of the Company with another Person, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets; or
(d) to effect a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give the Holder (a) at least 10 days (but not more than 90 days) prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such issuance, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (b) in the case of any such issuance, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 days (but not more than 90 days) prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (b) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock, as the case may be, for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be.

3.10 Company to Prevent Dilution. If any event or condition occurs as to which other provisions of this Article are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the exercise or purchase rights of this Debenture evidenced hereby in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, or that might materially and adversely affect the exercise or purchase rights of the holder hereof under any provisions of this Debenture, then the Company shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such exercise and purchase rights as aforesaid, and any adjustments necessary with respect to the Conversion Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder as shall be determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith business judgment so as to preserve the rights of the holder hereunder. In no event shall any such adjustment have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Article except in the event of a combination of shares of the type contemplated in Section 3.4 hereof, and then in no event to an amount greater than the Conversion Price as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof.
