hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of
this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The
Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount
converted and the date of such conversions. The Company shall deliver
any objection to any Notice of Conversion within 1 Business Day of receipt of
such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records
of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest
error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge
and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following
conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal
amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face
hereof.
14
b) Conversion
Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date
shall be equal to $0.005(the “Conversion
Price”).
c) Mechanics of
Conversion
i. Conversion Shares Issuable
Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.
ii. Delivery of Certificate Upon
Conversion. Not later than five Business Days after any Conversion Date,
the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Conversion Shares representing the number of shares of Common
Stock being acquired upon the conversion of Debentures.
d) Merger or
Consolidation If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding,
(A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of
its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or
exchange offer is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or
any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively
converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such
case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, for each underlying share of Common
Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental
Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it
would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate
Consideration”). To the extent necessary to effectuate the
foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such
Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new debenture consistent
with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to convert such
debenture into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to
which a Fundamental Transaction is affected shall include terms requiring any
such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this
paragraph and insuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security)
will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a
Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be
made under this that would result in an increase to the Conversion
Price.
15
e) If
the Company, at any time while the Debenture is outstanding: (A) shall pay a
stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of
its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in
shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Debenture,
including as interest thereon), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any
shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion 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
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,
combination or re-classification.
f) Reservation of Shares
Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Debentures free
from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock
as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of
the Debentures. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock
that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized,
issued and fully paid, nonassessable.
g) Fractional Shares.
Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock
certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, but may if
otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a
share based on the Closing Price at such time. If the Company elects
not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to
receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common
Stock.
16
h) Transfer
Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common
Stock on conversion of the Debentures shall be made without charge to the
Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable
in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the
Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon
conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such Debentures so
converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been
paid.
i) Prepayment. The
Company may not prepay any portion of the principal amount of this Debenture
without the prior written consent of the Holder.

alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of, and liquidated damages (if any) on, this
Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed. This Debenture is a direct debt obligation of the Company. This

Company shall not without the consent of the Holder, (a) amend its certificate

shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation of a mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of or in substitution for a
lost, stolen or destroyed Debenture, a new Debenture for the principal amount of
this Debenture so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of
evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Debenture, and of the
ownership hereof, and indemnity, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory to
the Company.
Section
8. So long as any portion of this Debenture is outstanding, the Company will
not, directly or indirectly, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any indebtedness of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or
assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or
profits therefrom that is senior in any respect to the Company's obligations
under the Debentures without the prior consent of the Holder, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section
9. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Debenture shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida, without regard to
the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal
proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by any of the Subscription Agreement (whether brought
against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers,
shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal
courts sitting in Miami-Dade County, Florida (the "Florida Courts"). Each party
hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Florida
Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with
respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such
court, or such Florida Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such
proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
(with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices
to it under this Debenture and agrees that such Service shall constitute good
and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner
permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any
legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Debenture or the
transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an action or
proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Debenture, then the prevailing
party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for
its attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
18
Section
10. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this
Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other
breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this
Debenture. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict
adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not be
considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon
strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Debenture. Any waiver
must be in writing.
Section
11. If any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is
inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain
applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any
interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates applicable laws
governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall
automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The
Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not
at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which
would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the
principal of or interest on the Debentures as contemplated herein, wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any
such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder,
delay or impeded the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but
will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has
been enacted.
Section
12. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day.
