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 Common 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 Common 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) $2.10, or (ii) 80% of the average of the 3 lowest
Volume Weighted Average Prices during the 18 Trading Days prior to Holder’s
election to convert (the percentage figure being a “Discount
Multiplier”).
The
Company reserves the right to increase the number of Trading Days in clause
(ii)
above, as it deems appropriate.
If
the
Holder elects to convert a portion of the Debenture and, on the day that the
election is made, the Volume Weighted Average Price per share of the Company’s
Common Stock is below $0.38 (the “Floor
Price”),
subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.7, the Company shall have the
right, within two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such
Conversion Notice, to prepay that portion of the Debenture that Xxxxxx elected
to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at 118% of such amount. In
the
event that the Company fails to prepay such portion of the Debenture by the
delivery of such cash prepayment amount to Holder within two (2) Business Days
after the Company’s receipt of such Conversion Notice, the Company shall no
longer have the right to prepay such portion of the Debenture in lieu of
honoring the Conversion Notice and shall issue to Holder the applicable Common
Stock Issued at Conversion set forth in the Conversion Notice under the terms
of
this Debenture. 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 Common Stock 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 Common Stock
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 Common Stock 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
Common Stock Issued at Conversion in accordance with the provisions of this
Article 3 and (b) cause to be mailed for delivery by overnight courier (x)
a
certificate or certificate(s) representing the number of Common Shares to which
the Holder is entitled by virtue of such conversion and (y) cash, as provided
in
Section 3.3, in respect of any fraction of a Common Share deliverable upon
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 Common Stock Issued at Conversion shall be issuable
shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Common
Shares represented thereby, and all voting and other rights associated with
the
beneficial ownership of such Common 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 Common 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 Common 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 eighteen percent (118%) 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. The Company agrees, without
cost
or expense to the Holder, to take or consent to any and all action necessary
to
effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. § 362.
SECTION
3.3 Fractional
Shares.
No fractional Common Shares or scrip representing fractional Common Shares
shall
be delivered upon conversion of this Debenture. Instead of any fractional
Common
Shares which otherwise would be delivered upon conversion of this Debenture,
the
Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount
equal to the same fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price on the
Conversion Date. No cash payment of less than $1.00 shall be required to
be
given unless specifically requested by the Holder.

(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, shares of common
stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, 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 common
stock
of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other
Property”)
are to
be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock 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 eighteen percent (118%) of the Principal Amount thereof, together with
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment,
(y) receive the number of shares of common stock of the successor or
acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and
Other Property as is receivable upon or as a result of such
Fundamental Corporate Change by a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock
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 corporation, 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, “common
stock of the successor or acquiring corporation”
shall
include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to
dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation 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

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 of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and
its
Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Debenture with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock 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 of the Company’s Common Stock)
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 of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock 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 of Common Stock 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 of Common Stock then
outstanding on the records of the Company as of the date of the request. In
any
case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock 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 of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial
Ownership Limitation”
shall
be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock 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 of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock 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 of Common Stock, 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 of Common Stock. 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 eighteen percent (118%) 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.

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

SECTION
3.7 Adjustments
to Floor Price
(i) Adjustment
of Floor Price upon Issuance of Common Stock.
If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, issues or
sells, or in accordance with this Section 3.7(i) is deemed to have issued or
sold, any shares of Common Stock, excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to
have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded
Securities, for a consideration per share (the “New
Issuance Price”)
less
than a price equal to the Floor Price in effect immediately prior to such issue
or sale (such price the “Applicable
Price”)
(the
foregoing a “Dilutive
Issuance”),
then
immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Floor Price then in effect shall
be
reduced to an amount equal to 95% of the New Issuance Price. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Floor Price under this Section 3.7(i), the following
shall be applicable:
(A) Issuance
of Options.
If the Company in any manner grants or sells any rights, warrants or options
to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or any stock or securities
(other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable
or
exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible
Securities”)
(“Options”)
and
the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable
upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise
of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less
than
the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock 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 Option for such price per share. For purposes of this
Section, the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange
or
exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option”
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 share of Common
Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and
upon
conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon
exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Floor Price shall be
made
upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of
such
Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible
Securities.

(B) Issuance
of Convertible Securities.
If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and
the
lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
such
conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price,
then such share of Common Stock 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, the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” 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 share of Common Stock upon the issuance or
sale
of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise
of
such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Floor Price shall be
made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion
or
exchange or exercise 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 the Floor Price had been or are to be made pursuant to
other
provisions of this Section, no further adjustment of the Floor Price shall
be
made by reason of such issue or sale.
(C) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.
If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration,
if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at
any
time, the Floor Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted
to
the Floor Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options
or
Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section, if the terms
of
any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Closing Date
are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence,
then
such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued
as
of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment
would
result in an increase of the Floor Price then in effect.

(D) Calculation
of Consideration Received.
In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other
securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in
which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties
thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the difference
of
(x) the aggregate fair market value of such Options and other securities issued
or sold in such integrated transaction, less (y) the fair market value of the
securities other than such Option, issued or sold in such transaction and the
other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction will be deemed
to
have been issued or sold for the balance of the consideration received by the
Company. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued
or
sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received
therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount raised by the Company; provided,
however, that such gross amount is not greater than 110% of the net amount
received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount
of
the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair
value
of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities,
in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the
price per share in the last reported trade of the Common Stock on Trading Market
(the “Closing
Bid Price”)
of such securities on the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity
in
connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the
amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such
portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities
will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are
unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event
requiring valuation (the “Valuation
Event”),
the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business
Days after the tenth (10 th
)
day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly
selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser
shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees
and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(E) Record
Date.
If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them (x) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (y) to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities,
then
such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the
Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon 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 case may be.
(ii) Adjustment
of Floor Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.
If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall (a)
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, (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 Floor 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.

(iii) Other
Events.
If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section
3.7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without
limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights
or
other rights with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will
make an appropriate adjustment in the Floor Price so as to protect the rights
of
the Holder under this Debenture; provided that no such adjustment will increase
the Floor Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.7.
(iv) Whenever
the Floor Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.7 hereof, the Company
shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Floor Price after
such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such
adjustment.

6. Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case
the
Holder may, in Holder’s sole and absolute discretion, by a notice in writing to
the Company, rescind any outstanding Conversion Notice and declare that any
or
all amounts owing or otherwise outstanding under this Debenture are immediately
due and payable and upon any such declaration this Debenture or such portion
thereof, as applicable, shall become immediately due and payable in cash
at a
price of one hundred eighteen percent (118%) of the Principal Amount thereof,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of payment;
provided,
however,
in the
case of any Event of Default described in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) or (vii)

automatically shall become immediately due and payable without the necessity
of

of
the maturity of this Debenture as set forth herein, the Company shall first

owed under the Promissory Note, if any, to such obligation.

6.3 Late
Payment Penalty.
If any portion of the principal of or interest on this Debenture shall not
be
paid within ten (10) days of when it is due, the Discount Multiplier under
this
Debenture shall decrease by one percentage point (1%) for each period of
ten
(10) Business Days that any portion of such amount remains unpaid by the
Company
for all conversions of this Debenture thereafter.
SECTION
6.4 Maximum
Interest Rate.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate
as
provided for herein shall exceed the maximum lawful rate which may be contracted
for, charged, taken or received by the Holder in accordance with any applicable
law (the “Maximum
Rate”),
the
rate of interest applicable to this Debenture shall be limited to the Maximum
Rate. To the greatest extent permitted under applicable law, the Company
hereby
waives and agrees not to allege or claim that any provisions of this Debenture
could give rise to or result in any actual or potential violation of any
applicable usury laws.
SECTION
6.5 Remedies
Not Waived.
No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder or any delay in
exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver by the
Holder.
SECTION
6.6 Remedies.
The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will
cause
irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that
the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Debenture will be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Debenture, that the Holder shall be entitled
to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the
penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining,
preventing or curing any breach of this Debenture and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic
loss
and without any bond or other security being required.

SECTION
6.7 Payment
of Certain Amounts.
Whenever
pursuant to this Debenture the Company is required to pay an amount in excess
of
the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, the Company and the
Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash
payment on this Debenture may be difficult to determine and the amount to be
so
paid by the Company represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is
intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert
this Debenture and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock
acquired upon conversion of this Debenture at a price in excess of that price
paid for such shares pursuant to this Debenture. 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 of Common Stock.
SECTION
6.8 Filing
of Form 8-K.
On
or
before the fourth Business Day following the date hereof, the Company shall
file
a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the terms of the transactions
contemplated by the Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement),
as required by the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, in the form
required by the Exchange Act and attaching the material Documents (including,
without limitation, the Securities Purchase Agreement and this Debenture) as
exhibits to such filing (the “8-K
Filing”).
In
the event that the Company does not file the 8-K Filing within four Business
Days following the date hereof, the Discount Multiplier under this Debenture
shall decrease by one percentage point (1%) for each period of five Business
Days that the 8-K Filing is not filed by the Company following the date hereof
for all conversions of this Debenture thereafter.

INTEREST
RATE ADJUSTMENT
SECTION
7.1 Interest
Rate Adjustment.
In the event that the Common Stock shall trade on the Trading Market at a
price
per share that is $0.245 per share or lower at any time during the six month
period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the six month anniversary
of
the date hereof (as
adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions,
recapitalizations or the like),
then
(i) the Interest Rate shall immediately be increased to Nine and Three-Quarters
Percent (9 ¾ %) and shall remain at such level for the duration of this
Debenture; and (ii) the Company shall, within three Business Days of the
written
request of the Holder prepay to the Holder the amount of interest that would
be
otherwise paid under this Debenture from the date of such written request
through the Maturity Date (such amount referred to herein as the “Interest
Prepayment”).
In
the event that after the payment by the Company of the Interest Prepayment
all
or any of the Principal Amount of this Debenture is converted by Holder or
redeemed pursuant to the terms of this Debenture prior to the Maturity Date,
then the Holder shall repay the corresponding pro rata portion of the Interest
Prepayment equal to the amount of the Interest Prepayment that is represented
by
such portion of the Principal Amount at such time that that is so converted
or
redeemed (taking into account both the amount of the Principal Amount so
converted or redeemed and the date upon which such amount is so converted
or
redeemed).
