CONVERSION OF DEBENTURE
SECTION 3.1 Conversion; Conversion Price. At the option of the Holder, this Debenture may be converted, either in whole or in part, up to the full Principal Amount hereof into Shares (calculated as to each such conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share), at any time and from time to time on any Business Day, subject to compliance with Section 3.2. The number of Shares into which this Debenture may be converted is equal to the dollar amount of the Debenture being converted divided by the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall be equal to the lesser of (i) $0.02 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), or (ii) if the Shares are quoted, listed or admitted to trading on the OTCBB, any national securities exchange or quotation system, 50% of the lowest “Bid” price on the date of conversion..
If the Holder elects to convert a portion of the Debenture and, if applicable, on the day that the election is made, the lowest “Bid” price per share of the Shares is below $.001, the Company shall have the right to prepay that portion of the Debenture that Holder elected to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at 150% of such amount. In the event that the Company elects to prepay that portion of the Debenture, Holder shall have the right to withdraw its Conversion Notice.
SECTION 3.2 Exercise of Conversion Privilege.
(i) Conversion of this Debenture may be exercised on any Business Day by the Holder by telecopying an executed and completed Conversion Notice to the Company. Each date on which a Conversion Notice is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2 shall constitute a Conversion Date. The Company shall convert this Debenture and issue the Shares Issued at Conversion in the manner provided below in this Section 3.2, and all voting and other rights associated with the beneficial ownership of the Shares Issued at Conversion shall vest with the Holder, effective as of the Conversion Date at the time specified in the Conversion Notice. The Conversion Notice also shall state the name or names (with addresses) of the persons who are to become the holders of the Shares Issued at Conversion in connection with such conversion. As promptly as practicable after the receipt of the Conversion Notice as aforesaid, but in any event not more than two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such Conversion Notice, the Company shall (a) issue the Shares Issued at Conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Article 3 and (b) cause to be mailed for delivery by overnight courier a certificate or certificate(s) representing the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled by virtue of such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the time at which the Conversion Notice indicates, and at such time the rights of the Holder of this Debenture, as such (except if and to the extent that any Principal Amount thereof remains unconverted), shall cease and the Person and Persons in whose name or names the Shares Issued at Conversion shall be issuable shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Shares represented thereby, and all voting and other rights associated with the beneficial ownership of such Shares shall at such time vest with such Person or Persons. The Conversion Notice shall constitute a contract between the Holder and the Company, whereby the Holder shall be deemed to subscribe for the number of Shares which it will be entitled to receive upon such conversion and, in payment and satisfaction of such subscription (and for any cash adjustment to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.4), to surrender this Debenture and to release the Company from all liability thereon (except if and to the extent that any Principal Amount thereof remains unconverted). No cash payment aggregating less than $1.00 shall be required to be given unless specifically requested by the Holder.
(ii) If, at any time after the date of this Debenture, (a) the Company challenges, disputes or denies the right of the Holder hereof to effect the conversion of this Debenture into Shares or otherwise dishonors or rejects any Conversion Notice delivered in accordance with this Section 3.2 or (b) any third party who is not and has never been an Affiliate of the Holder commences any lawsuit or legal proceeding or otherwise asserts any claim before any court or public or governmental authority which seeks to challenge, deny, enjoin, limit, modify, delay or dispute the right of the Holder hereof to effect the conversion of this Debenture into Common Shares, then the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, by written notice to the Company, to require the Company to promptly redeem this Debenture for cash at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Principal Amount thereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. Under any of the circumstances set forth above, the Company shall be responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses of the Holder, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, as and when incurred in defending itself in any such action or pursuing its rights hereunder (in addition to any other rights of the Holder).
(iii) The Holder shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege notwithstanding the commencement of any case under the Bankruptcy Code. In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. § 362 in respect of the Holder’s conversion privilege. The Company hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. § 362 in respect of the conversion of this Debenture.

SECTION 3.3 Intentionally deleted.
SECTION 3.4 Adjustments. The Conversion Price and the number of Shares deliverable upon conversion of this Debenture are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) Reclassification, Etc. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another Person (where the Company is not the survivor or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another Person, or effectuate a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company is disposed of (each, a “Fundamental Corporate Change”) and, pursuant to the terms of such Fundamental Corporate Change, securities of the successor or acquiring entity, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of securities of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”) are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Shares of the Company, then the Holder of this Debenture shall have the right thereafter, at its sole option, to (x) require the Company to prepay this Debenture for cash at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Principal Amount thereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment, (y) receive the number of securities of the successor or acquiring entity or of the Company, if it is the surviving entity, and Other Property as is receivable upon or as a result of such Fundamental Corporate Change by a holder of the number of Shares into which the outstanding portion of this Debenture may be converted at the Conversion Price applicable immediately prior to such Fundamental Corporate Change, or (z) require the Company, or such successor, resulting or purchasing entity, as the case may be, to, without benefit of any additional consideration therefor, execute and deliver to the Holder a debenture with substantial identical rights, privileges, powers, restrictions and other terms as this Debenture in an amount equal to the amount outstanding under this Debenture immediately prior to such Fundamental Corporate Change. For purposes hereof, “securities of the successor or acquiring entity” shall include capital of such entity of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such entity and which is not subject to prepayment and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Corporate Changes.
(ii) Adjustment upon Issuance of Securities. If the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3.4 is deemed to have issued or sold, any securities (including the issuance or sale of securities owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding securities comprising Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Fixed Conversion Price in effect (the “Applicable Price”) immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 3.4, the following shall be applicable:
(iii) Adjustment for Splits, Subdivisions or Combinations of Shares. The Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionally decreased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Debenture shall be proportionally increased to reflect any split or subdivision of the Company’s Shares. The Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionally increased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this shall be proportionally decreased to reflect any combination of the Company’s Shares.
3.4.1 Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options (not including Excluded Securities) and the lowest price per share for which one Share is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such Unit shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Share for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 3.4.1, the “lowest price per Share for which one Share is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one Unit upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. In the event of the reduction of the Conversion price of any such Option (or the conversion, exercise or exchange price of any related Convertible Security), the adjustments set forth in this Section 3.4 shall be recomputed, taking into account such lower price. No further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Share or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Unit upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
3.4.2 Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities (not including Excluded Securities) and the lowest price per share for which one Share is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Share shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per Share. For the purposes of this Section 3.4.2, the “lowest price per share for which one Share is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one Share upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. In the event of the reduction of the conversion, exercise or exchange price of any Convertible Security, the adjustments set forth in this Section 3.4 shall be recomputed, taking into account such lower price. No further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Share upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Debenture has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3.4, no further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
SECTION 3.5 Certain Conversion Limits. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Debenture, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion, as set forth on the applicable Conversion Notice, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Shares beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Shares which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Debenture beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Debentures or warrants to purchase Shares) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3.5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3.5 applies, the determination of whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether this Debenture may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitations. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Conversion Notice that such Conversion Notice has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 3.5, in determining the number of outstanding Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Shares provided to the Holder in writing by the Company after Holder makes such request or in the event that the Company files, any of the following with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the most recent of the following: (A) the Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company; or (C) a more recent notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of Shares then outstanding on the records of the Company as of the date of the request. In any case, the number of outstanding Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Debenture, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3.5 may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, to, at the sole discretion of the Holder, either change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to (i) 9.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares upon conversion of the Debenture held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall continue to apply, or (ii) remove any Beneficial Ownership Limitation under this Debenture. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.5 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the foregoing limitation is ineffective to prevent a Holder from being deemed the beneficial owner of more than 9.99% of the then outstanding Shares, then the Company shall prepay such portion of this Debenture as shall cause such Holder not to be deemed the beneficial owner of more than 9.99% of the then outstanding Shares. Upon such determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Holder shall have no interest in or rights under such portion of the Debenture. Any and all interest paid on or prior to the date of such determination shall be deemed interest paid on the remaining portion of this Debenture held by the Holder. Such prepayment shall be for cash at a prepayment price of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Principal Amount thereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Debenture. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall not apply if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or does not have any class of securities registered under such Act.
SECTION 3.6 Surrender of Debentures. Upon any redemption of this Debenture pursuant to Sections 3.2, 3.5 or 6.2, or upon maturity pursuant to Section 2.4, the Holder shall either deliver this Debenture by hand to the Company at its principal executive offices or surrender the same to the Company at such address by nationally recognized overnight courier. Payment of the redemption price or the amount due on maturity specified in Section 2.4, shall be made by the Company to the Holder against receipt of this Debenture (as provided in this Section 3.5) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as the Holder shall specify by written notice to the Company. If payment of such redemption price is not made in full by the redemption date, or the amount due on maturity is not paid in full by the Maturity Date, the Holder shall again have the right to convert this Debenture as provided in Article 3 hereof or to declare an Event of Default.

Except and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder or as otherwise permitted under the terms hereof, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or similar corporate charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Debenture and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.
SECTION 5.8 Right of First Refusal on Other Financing. In the event that the Company obtains a commitment for any other financing (either debt, equity, or a combination thereof) which is to close during the term of this Debenture, Holder shall be entitled to a right of first refusal to enable it to, at Holder’s option, either: (i) match the terms of the other financing, or (ii) add additional principal to this Debenture, in the amount of such other financing, on the same terms and conditions as this Debenture. The Company shall deliver to Holder, at least 10 days prior to the proposed closing date of such transaction, written notice describing the proposed transaction, including the terms and conditions thereof, and providing Holder an option during the 10 day period following delivery of such notice to either provide the financing being offered in such transaction on the same terms as contemplated by such transaction, or to add additional principal to this Debenture, in the amount of such other financing, on the same terms and conditions as this Debenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks to consummate such financing on terms less favorable to the Company than those terms that were provided to Holder, such financing shall be subject to Holder’s right of first refusal set forth in this Section 5.8.

The Company and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Debenture into Shares.
