Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (telecopier no. (000) 000-0000), hereby
promises to pay to the order of __________________or registered assigns
("Payee"), having an address at ______________________________________,
Attn:________(telecopier no. ________), at Xxxxx's address set forth above (or
at such other place as Payee may from time to time hereafter direct by notice in
writing to Payor), the principal sum of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000),
in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time shall be
legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, on the first to occur
of the following dates: _____, 2000 (the "Maturity Date") [i.e., first
anniversary of Initial Closing]; (ii) the date on which the outstanding
principal amount of this Debenture is prepaid in full as hereinafter permitted
(the "Prepayment Date"); and (iii) any date on which any principal amount of, or
accrued unpaid interest on, this Debenture is declared to be, or becomes, due
and payable pursuant to its terms prior to the Maturity Date (the "Acceleration
Date").
This Debenture is part of a unit or units (the "Units") and one of a
series of Debentures being issued pursuant to Payor's Confidential Private
Offering Memorandum dated June 8, 1999 (the "Memorandum"), relating to the
offering of Units, each Unit consisting of a 10% subordinated convertible
debenture in the principal amount of $25,000 (each, a "Debenture").
1. INTEREST AND PAYMENT.
1.1. The principal amount of this Debenture outstanding from time
to time shall bear simple interest at the annual rate (the "Debenture Rate") of
ten percent (10%) from the date hereof through the earliest to occur of (i) the
Maturity Date, (ii) the Prepayment Date and (iii) the Acceleration Date.
1.2. Interest accrued on this Debenture shall be payable on the
earliest to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the Prepayment Date and (iii)
the Acceleration Date.
1.3. All payments made by the Payor on this Debenture shall be
applied first to the payment of accrued unpaid interest on this Debenture and
then to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Debenture.
1.4. If payment of the outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture, together with accrued unpaid interest thereon at the Debenture Rate,
is not made on the earliest to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the
Prepayment Date and (iii) the Acceleration Date, then interest shall accrue on
the outstanding principal amount due under this Debenture and on any unpaid
accrued interest due on this Debenture from and after such date of default to
the date of the payment in full of such amounts (including from and after the
date of the entry of judgment in favor of Payee in an action to collect this
Debenture) at an annual rate equal to the lesser of 18% or the maximum rate of
interest permitted by applicable law (the "Maximum Rate").
1.5. In no event shall Payee be entitled to receive interest,
however characterized and including other consideration received in connection
with this Debenture, at an effective rate in excess of the Maximum Rate. In the
event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such amounts paid
or agreed to be paid by Payor in connection with this Debenture causes the
effective interest rate on this Debenture to exceed the Maximum Rate, such
interest or other consideration shall automatically be reduced to a rate which
results in an effective interest rate under this Debenture equal to the Maximum
Rate over the term hereof, and, in such event, any amounts received by Payee
deemed to constitute excessive interest shall be applied first to the payment of
accrued unpaid interest on this Debenture and then to the reduction of the
unpaid principal balance of this Debenture.
1.6. In the event that the date for the payment of any amount
payable under this Debenture falls due on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday
under the laws of the State of New York, the time for payment of such amount
shall be extended to the next succeeding business day and interest at the
Debenture Rate shall continue to accrue on any principal amount so effected
until the payment thereof on such extended due date.
2. REPLACEMENT OF DEBENTURE.
2.1. In the event that this Debenture is mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen, Payor shall, at its sole expense, execute, register and deliver
a new Debenture, in exchange and substitution for this Debenture, if mutilated,
or in lieu of and substitution for this Debenture, if destroyed, lost or stolen.
In the case of destruction, loss or theft, Payee shall furnish to Payor
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Payor, and in any such case, and in the
case of mutilation, Payee shall also furnish to Payor evidence to its reasonable
satisfaction of the mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of this Debenture and
of the ownership thereof. Any replacement Debenture so issued shall be in the
same outstanding principal amount as this Debenture and dated the date to which
interest shall have been paid on this Debenture or, if no interest shall have
yet been paid, dated the date of this Debenture.
-2-
2.2. Every Debenture issued pursuant to the provisions of Section
2.1 above in substitution for this Debenture shall constitute an additional
contractual obligation of the Payor, whether or not this Debenture shall be
found at any time or be enforceable by anyone.
3. PREPAYMENT. At the option of the Payor, the principal amount of this
Debenture may be prepaid in whole at any time, or in part from time to time,
without penalty or premium, together with interest thereon accrued through the
Prepayment Date. Each partial prepayment of this Debenture shall first be
applied to interest accrued through the Prepayment Date and then to principal.
In the event of any such prepayment, Payor shall deliver written notice thereof
to the holder of this Debenture at least thirty (30) days prior to the
applicable Prepayment Date.
4. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If any of the following events (each an "Event of
Default") occurs:
4.1. The dissolution of Payor or any vote in favor thereof by the
board of directors and shareholders of Payor; or
4.2. Payor becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or files with a court of competent
jurisdiction an application for appointment of a receiver or similar official
with respect to it or any substantial part of its assets, or Payor files a
petition seeking relief under any provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or
any other federal or state statute now or hereafter in effect affording relief
to debtors, or any such application or petition is filed against Payor, which
application or petition is not dismissed or withdrawn within thirty (30) days
from the date of its filing; or
4.3. Payor fails to pay the principal amount, or interest on, or
any other amount payable under, this Debenture as and when the same becomes due
and payable; or
4.4. Xxxxx admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as
they mature; or
4.5. A proceeding is commenced to foreclose a security interest or
lien in any property or assets of Payor as a result of a default in the payment

or assets) of Payor; or
4.6. A final judgement for the payment of money in excess of
$250,000 is entered against Payor by a court of competent jurisdiction, and such
judgment is not discharged (nor the discharge thereof duly provided for) in
accordance with its terms, nor a stay of execution thereof procured, within
sixty (60) days after the date such judgment is entered, and, within such period
(or such longer period during which execution of such judgment is effectively
stayed), an appeal therefrom has not been prosecuted and the execution thereof
caused to be stayed during such appeal; or

the date of its effectiveness; or
4.8. Payor defaults in the due observance or performance of any
covenant, condition or agreement on the part of Payor to be observed or
performed pursuant to the terms of this Debenture (other than the default
specified in Section 4.3 above) and such default continues uncured for a period
of sixty (60) days; or
4.9. Payor defaults in the payment (regardless of amount) when due
of the principal of, interest on, or any other liability on account of, any
indebtedness of Payor having a face or principal amount in excess of $250,000,
or a default occurs in the performance or observance by Payor of any covenant or
condition (other than for the payment of money) contained in any note or
agreement evidencing or pertaining to any such indebtedness, which causes the
maturity of such indebtedness to be accelerated and such default is not waived
or cured within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice by the Payor that such
default has occurred;
then, upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default and at any time
thereafter, the holder of this Debenture shall have the right (at such holder's
option) to declare the principal of, accrued unpaid interest on, and all other
amounts payable under this Debenture to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon
all such amounts shall be immediately due and payable to the holder of this
Debenture, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived; provided, however, that in case of the
occurrence of an Event of Default under any of Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 above,
such amounts shall become immediately due and payable without any such
declaration by the holder of this Debenture.
5. CONVERSION.
5.1. The holder of this Debenture shall have the right, at its
option (the "Conversion Option"), at any time within not more than twenty (20)
days, or less than ten (10) days, prior to the earliest to occur of the Maturity
Date or the Prepayment Date, to convert, in whole but not in part, the principal
amount of this Debenture, together with accrued unpaid interest thereon,
outstanding at the close of business on the date Payor receives notice of such
holder's exercise of the Conversion Option, into fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Conversion Shares"), at a
conversion price per Conversion Share equal to $0.50, as such price may be
adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5
(the "Conversion Price"), such that the number of Conversion Shares obtained
upon conversion shall be determined by dividing the then Conversion Price into
the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of, and accrued unpaid interest
on, this Debenture.
5.2. To exercise the Conversion Option, the holder hereof shall
give written notice to Payor that it elects to convert the principal amount of
this Debenture, together with accrued unpaid interest thereon, into Conversion
Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1 above (the "Conversion
Notice"). The Conversion Notice shall specify the name or names in which the
holder wishes the certificates for the Conversion Shares to be registered,
together with the address or addresses of the persons so named, provided such
Conversion Shares may not be registered in the name of a person or persons other
than the holder of this Debenture unless the Debenture, when surrendered for
conversion, is accompanied by (i) instruments of
-4-
transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to Payor, duly executed by the holder
hereof and (ii) if requested by Xxxxx, an instrument executed by such other
person, in form reasonably satisfactory to Payor, representing that the
Conversion Shares are being acquired for investment and not with a view to
distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
5.3. Promptly after the delivery of the Conversion Notice to
Payor, Payor shall cause to be delivered to the holder and/or the holder's
designees certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares into which
this Debenture is being converted and a cash adjustment in respect of any
fraction of a Conversion Share to which the holder shall be entitled. No
fractional Conversion Shares will be issued, but an amount of cash equal to the
product of the fraction of a Conversion Share which would otherwise be issuable
upon the surrender of this Debenture for conversion multiplied by the then
existing Conversion Price per Conversion Share will be paid to the holder upon
such conversion.
Conversion of this Debenture shall be deemed to have been made at the
close of business on the date the Conversion Notice is delivered to Payor (the
"Conversion Date"), so that interest shall not accrue from and after such date
on the principal amount of this Debenture converted and the person or persons
entitled to receive Conversion Shares upon such conversion shall be treated for
all purposes as having been the record holder or holders thereof at such time
and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time. The
issuance of certificates for Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture
shall be made without charge to the holder of this Debenture for any tax in
respect of the issuance of such certificates; provided, however, that Payor
shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificates in a
name other than that of the Payee and Payor 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 Payor the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of Payor that such tax has been paid. Upon
Payor's (i) delivery of the certificates for the Conversion Shares to the holder
of this Debenture and/or its designees and (ii) payment of the cash adjustment,
if any, due to the holder of this Debenture pursuant to the terms of this
Section 5, the holder of this Debenture shall surrender this Debenture to Payor.
The Certificates representing the Conversion Shares shall be executed
on behalf of Payor by the manual or facsimile signature of those officers
required to sign such certificates under applicable law, and shall bear legends
substantially similar to the following:
"The securities represented by this certificate and/or the securities
issuable upon exercise thereof have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and may not be offered
or sold except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Act, (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) upon the delivery by the holder to
the Company of an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to counsel to the
Company, stating that an exemption from registration under such Act is
available."
5.4. Payor shall at all times keep available out of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for effecting the conversion of this
Debenture, the full
-5-
number of whole Conversion Shares then deliverable upon conversion of the entire
principal amount of this Debenture, and accrued unpaid interest thereon, at the
time outstanding. Payor shall take at all times such corporate action as shall
be necessary in order that Payor may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 5.
5.5. In the event Payor shall at any time after the date hereof
pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of
Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution, the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall be reduced to a
price determined by dividing an amount equal to the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution
multiplied by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend
or distribution, by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such issuance or sale. For purposes of any computation to be
made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.5, the shares of Common
Stock issuable by way of dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been
issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date
fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution.
5.6. In the event the Payor shall at any time subdivide or combine
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall forthwith be
proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of
combination.
5.7. In the event the Payor shall, at any time or from time to
time after the date hereof, issue any shares of Common Stock or other securities
convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock, in each case
other than Excluded Shares (as hereinafter defined), for no consideration or for
a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to the issuance of such Common Stock or other securities, the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall automatically be
lowered to a price equal to the consideration per share received by the Payor
upon such issuance. In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a
consideration in whole or part in property other than cash, the value of such
property shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such property as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Payor. As used herein,
the term "Excluded Shares" shall mean (i) shares of Common Stock issued in
connection with transactions described in Sections 5.5 and 5.6 hereof, (ii)
shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of any options,
rights, warrants or other securities outstanding on the date hereof, and (iii)
shares of Common Stock issued to officers, directors or employees of, or
consultants to, the Payor pursuant to any agreement, plan or arrangement
approved prior to the date hereof by the Board of Directors of the Payor or a
committee thereof authorized to give such approval.
5.8. In the event of any reclassification or change of the
outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in nominal value to no nominal
value, or from no nominal value to nominal value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination), or in the case of any consolidation of the Payor
with, or merger of the Payor into, another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Payor is the surviving corporation and
which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding
Common Stock, except a change as a result of a subdivision or combination of
such shares or a change in nominal value, as aforesaid), or in the case of a
sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Payor as an
entirety, the holder
-6-
of this Debenture shall thereafter have the right to convert this Debenture into
the kind and number of shares of stock and other securities and property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this
Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, subject to further
adjustments as provided herein.
5.9. In the event:
(1) Payor shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution
payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable
otherwise than out of current or retained earnings, as indicated by the
accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of Payor; or
(2) Payor shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock
any additional shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of Payor
or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or other shares
of capital stock of Payor, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe
therefor; or
(3) a reclassification or change of the outstanding Common
Stock (other than a change in nominal value to no nominal value, or from no
nominal value to nominal value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination),
or any consolidation of the Payor with, or merger of the Payor into, another
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Payor is the
surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of the outstanding Common Stock, except a change as a result of a
subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in nominal value, as
aforesaid), shall be proposed; or
(4) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Payor (other
than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or
substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety shall be
proposed;
then, in any one or more of said events, Payor shall give written notice of such
event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the
date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the shareholders
entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities
or subscription rights, options or warrants, or entitled to vote on such
proposed reclassification, merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation,
winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of
closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to give such notice or
any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken in
connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend or distribution,
or the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription
rights, options or warrants, or any proposed reclassification, merger,
consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.

Exhibit H to the Memorandum ("Warrants"), to purchase an aggregate of 50,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to
adjustment under certain circumstances, for each Debenture converted into Common

shall receive, concurrent with such payment, Warrants to purchase an aggregate

Default shall occur and be continuing, the Payee may proceed to (i) protect and
enforce Payee's rights either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both,

on, this Debenture, all costs and expenses incurred by Payee in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements.
8.3. No forbearance, indulgence, delay or failure to exercise any
right or remedy with respect to this Debenture shall operate as a waiver or as
an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any

of any other right or remedy.
