This Debenture is issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) dated as of even date by and between the Company and the Holder.

The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the conditions to which this Debenture is subject, and to which the Holder hereof, by the acceptance of this Debenture, agrees:

3.             Rights of Holder Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Sections 2(c) and 2(d) hereof) and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Holder may declare all outstanding Obligations payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.  Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Sections 2(c) and 2(d) hereof, immediately and without notice, all outstanding Obligations payable by the Company hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.  In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the Holder may exercise any other right, power or remedy granted to it by the Transaction Documents or otherwise permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.  After an Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the Loan Amount at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum, or the highest lawful rate, whichever is lower, until all amounts owed to the Borrower are repaid.

5.             Conversion.

(a)           Conversion by the Holder.  At any time following the Maturity Date, the Holder shall have the right from time to time to convert all or any part of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Debenture (the “Loan Amount”) by submitting a Notice of Conversion to the Company on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”) (by facsimile or other reasonable means of communication on the Conversion Date) into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Loan Amount, divided by $0.25 (the “Conversion Price”) subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 6 herein.

(b)           Mechanics and Effect of Conversion.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Debenture.  Upon the conversion of all of the principal outstanding under this Debenture, in lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder, the Company shall round all shares to the next whole share.  Upon conversion of this Debenture pursuant to this Section, the Holder shall surrender this Debenture, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company.  At its expense, the Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder at such principal office a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of such Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing such legends as are required by the Subscription Agreement and applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to Company), together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Debenture.  Upon full conversion of this Debenture, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Debenture.

(c)           Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.  The Company shall at all times, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Debenture, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Debenture; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Debenture, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

(d)           Payment of Taxes.  The Company will pay all transfer taxes or charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture, except for any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which this Debenture was registered.

6.             Conversion Price Adjustments.

(a)           Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations.  If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after date of first issuance of this Debenture (the “Date of Original Issue”) effect a stock split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and, conversely, if the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Date of Original Issue combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustment under this Section 6(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the stock split, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(b)           Dividends and Distributions.  The Company at any time or from time to time after the Date of Original Issue to the Maturity Date shall not issue a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company or other property.  As used herein, the term “other property” does not include cash.

(c)           Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.  If at any time or from time to time after the Date of Original Issue, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or series of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 6), then in any such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Debenture into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.

(d)           Reorganizations.  If at any time or from time to time after the Date of Original Issue there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 6), as a part of such capital reorganization provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of this Debenture the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, subject to adjustment in respect of such stock or securities by the terms thereof.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 6 with respect to the rights of the Holders after such capital reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 6 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.

10.           Assignment by the Company.  Neither this Debenture nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company, without the prior written consent of the Holder.
