By

Debenture, the registered holder hereof agrees with the Company that the
Debenture shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Authorization
of Debentures. The Company has authorized the issue and sale of
its 10% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due December 31, 2008
(the
"Debenture," such term includes any debentures which may be issued in exchange
or in replacement thereof) in the aggregate principal amount of not more
than
U.S. $1,500,000.
2. Transfer
or Exchange. Prior to due presentation to the Company for
transfer of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the Company may

in Section 4, below, the Company may prepay the Debenture on ten days prior

3.2 Payment
of Interest in Shares. Prior to the conversion of the principal
amount of the Debenture, the Company will issue to the Holder, at the Holder’s
option, in lieu of cash interest, shares of Common Stock calculated in
accordance with the following formula (the “Conversion Rate”):

*Principal
= the Principal Amount
of the Debenture, and
*Conversion
Price =
$1.00
4. Conversion
of Debentures.
4.1 Conversion
of the Debenture.
1.
|
|
(a)
|
Right
to Convert. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4.1(b),
below, the record holder of this Debenture shall be entitled, on
or after
the Date of Original Issuance, at the option of the Holder, to
convert
this Debenture, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable
shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the rate of $1.00 per
share.
|
4.2 Exercise
of Conversion Privilege. In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the
Holder shall surrender such Debenture, together with the Notice of Conversion
annexed hereto as Exhibit 1 appropriately endorsed to the Company at its
principal office, accompanied by written notice to the Company (a) stating
that
the Holder elects to convert the Debenture or a portion thereof, and if a
portion, the amount of such portion in multiples of $500 in principal amount,
and (b) setting forth the name or names (with address) in which the certificate
or certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
shall
be issued. Provided the Debenture is received properly endorsed promptly
by the
Company, the date of conversion of such Debenture shall be deemed to be the
date
of receipt of Notice of Conversion, even if the Company's stock transfer
books
are at that time closed, and the converting Holder shall be deemed to have
become, on the date of conversion, the record holder of the shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon such conversion. If the Debenture is not
received, properly endorsed by the fifth business day following the date
the
Company receives Notice of Conversion, the date of conversion shall be deemed
to
be the date the Debenture is received, provided that such later receipt will
not
lower the Conversion Price stated in the Notice of Conversion.
As
soon as reasonably possible after
the date of conversion, the Company shall issue and deliver to such converting
Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
due on such conversion. No adjustments in respect of interest or cash dividends
shall be made upon the conversion of any Debenture or Debentures.
Upon
conversion of the Debenture in
part, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the
expense of the Company, a new Debenture, in aggregate principal amount equal
to
the unconverted portion of such Debenture. Such new Debenture shall have
the
same terms and provisions other than the principal amount as the Debenture
or
Debentures surrendered for conversion.
4.3 Duration
of Conversion Privilege. The right to subscribe for and purchase
shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion privilege granted herein
shall
commence on the Original Issue Date and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York
time
on December 31, 2008.
4.4 Stock
Fully Paid; Restricted. The Company covenants and agrees
that:
|
|
(a)
|
all
shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the conversion
privilege
granted herein will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms
hereof, be
fully paid, non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens and
charges
(except for taxes, if any, upon the income of the Holder) with
respect to
the issue thereof, and that the issuance thereof shall not give
rise to
any preemptive rights on the part of the
stockholders;
|
|
|
(b)
|
the
failure of the Company to issue shares upon the conversion of the
Debenture will cause the holder immediate irreparable
harm.
|
4.5 Antidilution
Provisions. The following provisions apply to the
Debenture:
|
|
(a)
|
In
case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution
in shares
of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine
its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares
of
Common Stock, (iv) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares
of
its capital stock other than Common Stock, or (v) issue by
reclassification of its Common Stock other securities of the Company,
the
conversion privilege of the Debenture and the Conversion Price
then in
effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so
that
|
2.
|
|
the
Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares
of
Common Stock and other securities of the Company which it would
have owned
or would have been entitled to receive after the happening of any
of the
events described above, had the Debenture been converted immediately
prior
to the happening of such event or any record date with respect
thereto.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become
effective
immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive
to the
record date, if any, for such
event.
|
|
|
(b)
|
When
the number of shares of Common Stock or the Conversion Price is
adjusted
as herein provided, the Company shall cause to be promptly mailed
to the
Holder by first class mail, postage prepaid, notice of such adjustment
or
adjustments and a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants
selected by the Board of Directors of the Company (who may be the
regular
accountants employed by the Company) setting forth the number of
shares of
Common Stock and the Conversion Price after such adjustment, a
brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation
by
which such adjustment was made.
|
|
|
(c)
|
For
the purpose of this Section 4.5, the term "Common Stock" shall
mean (A)
the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Company
at the
date of this Debenture or (B) any other class of stock resulting
from
successive changes or reclassification of such Common Stock consisting
solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value,
or from
no par value to par value. In the event that at any time, as a
result of
an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.5, the Holder shall
become
entitled to receive any securities upon conversion of the Company
other
than shares of Common Stock thereafter the number of such other
securities
and the Conversion Price of such securities shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent
as
practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock
contained
in this Section 4.5.
|
4.6 No
Adjustment for Dividends. Except as provided in Section 4.5, no
adjustment in respect to any dividends paid shall be made during the term
of the
Debenture or upon the exercise of the Debenture.
4.7 Preservation
of Purchase Rights Upon Reclassification Consolidation. etc. In the case of
any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into another
corporation or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation
of
all or substantially all of the property, assets or business of the Company,
the
Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be,
shall
provide that the Holder shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action to purchase upon
conversion of the Debenture the kind and amount of shares and other securities
and property which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive
after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had
the
Debenture been converted immediately prior to such action. Such agreement
shall
provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The provisions
of
this Section 4.7 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers,
sales or conveyances.
4.8 Par
Value of Common Stock. Before taking any action which would cause an
adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the
shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture, the Company will
take
any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary
in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion
Price.
4.9
a Statement
on Debenture Certificates. Irrespective of any adjustments in the
Conversion Price or the number of securities convertible, this Debenture
certificate or any certificates hereafter issued may continue to express
the
same price and number of securities as are stated in this Debenture certificate.
However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion (which shall
be
conclusive) make any change in the form of the Debenture certificate that
it may
deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof; and any
Debenture certificate thereafter issued, whether upon registration or transfer
of, or in exchange or substitution for, an outstanding Debenture certificate,
may be in the form so changed.
3.
4.9b Collateral. A first
position lien (UCC filing ) will be filed at closing on all equipment listed
on
Exhibit 1 of this agreement.
5. Restrictions
on Transferability. The Debenture and the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Debenture shall not be transferred, hypothecated or
assigned before satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Section
5,
which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of
the
Securities Act with respect to the Transfer of any Debenture or any Common
Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Debenture. Holder, by acceptance of
this Xxxxxxxxx, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section
5.
5.1 Restrictive
Legend. The Holder by accepting this Debenture and any Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture agrees that this Debenture
and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion hereof may not be assigned or
otherwise transferred unless and until (i) the Company has received an opinion
of counsel for the Holder that such securities may be sold pursuant to an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act or (ii) a registration
statement relating to such securities has been filed by the Company and declared
effective by the Commission.
|
|
(a)
|
Each
certificate for Common Stock issuable hereunder shall bear a legend
substantially worded as follows unless such securities have been
sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act:
|
“The
securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under
the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any state securities
laws. The securities may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned,
offered, transferred or otherwise distributed for value except (i) pursuant
to
an effective registration statement under the Act or any state securities
laws
or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from registration or prospectus delivery
requirements under the Act or any state securities laws in respect of which
the
Company has received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to
such
effect.”
|
|
(b)
|
Except
as otherwise provided in this Section 5, the Debenture shall be
stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the
following form:
|
“This
Debenture and the securities represented hereby have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws
and
may not be transferred in violation of such Act, the rules and regulations
thereunder or any state securities laws or the provisions of this
Debenture.”
5.2 Notice
of Proposed Transfers. Prior to any Transfer or attempted
Transfer of any Debenture or any shares of Restricted Common Stock, the Holder
shall give five (5) days’ prior written notice (a “Transfer Notice”) to the
Company of Holder’s intention to effect such Transfer, describing the manner and
circumstances of the proposed Transfer, and obtain from counsel to Holder
an
opinion that the proposed Transfer of such Debenture or such Restricted Common
Stock may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or state
securities laws. After the Company’s receipt of the Transfer Notice
and opinion, such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to Transfer such Debenture
or such Restricted Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Transfer
Notice. Each certificate, if any, evidencing such shares of
Restricted Common Stock issued upon such Transfer and the Debenture issued
upon
such Transfer shall bear the restrictive legends set forth in Section 5.1,
unless in the opinion of such counsel such legend is not required in order
to
ensure compliance with the Securities Act.
5.3 Termination
of Restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
Section 5, the restrictions imposed by this Section upon the transferability
of
the Debentures, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion and the Restricted
Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Debenture)
and
the legend requirements of Section 5.1 shall terminate as to any particular
Debenture or Restricted Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of the Debenture) (i) when and so long as such security shall
have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and applicable
state
securities laws and disposed of pursuant thereto or (ii) when the Company
shall have received an opinion of counsel that such shares may be transferred
without registration thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws. Whenever the restrictions imposed by Section 5 shall
terminate as to this Debenture, as hereinabove provided, the Holder hereof
shall
be entitled to receive from the Company upon written request of the Holder,
at
the expense of the Company, a new Debenture
4.
bearing
the following legend in place of the restrictive legend set forth
hereon:
“THE
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF THE WITHIN DEBENTURE CONTAINED IN
SECTION 5 HEREOF TERMINATED ON ___________, 20__, AND ARE OF NO FURTHER FORCE
AND EFFECT.”
All
Debentures issued upon registration of transfer, division or combination
of, or
in substitution for, any Debenture or entitled to bear such legend shall
have a
similar legend endorsed thereon. Whenever the restrictions imposed by
this Section shall terminate as to any share of Restricted Common Stock,
as
hereinabove provided, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from
the
Company, at the Company’s expense, a new certificate representing such Common
Stock not bearing the restrictive legends set forth in Section 5.1.
5.4 Listing
on Securities Exchange. If the Company shall list any shares of
Common Stock on any securities exchange, it will, at its expense, list thereon,
maintain and, when necessary, increase such listing of, all shares of Common
Stock issued or, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities
exchange rules, issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture so long as
any
shares of Common Stock shall be so listed during the Exercise
Period.
6.
6.1 Abandonment
or Delay. If, at any time after giving written notice of its
intention to register any equity securities and prior to the effective date
of
the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the
Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration
of such equity securities, the Company may, at its election, give written
notice
of such determination to all Holders and (i) in the case of a determination
not
to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Debenture in connection with such abandoned
registration, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay such registration
of its equity securities, shall be permitted to delay the registration of
such
Common Stock for the same period as the delay in registering such other equity
securities.
6.2 Holder's
Right to Withdraw. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw
its request for inclusion of its Common Stock in any registration statement
pursuant to this Section 6 by giving written notice to the Company of its
request to withdraw; provided, however, that (i) such request must be made
in
writing prior to the earlier of the execution of the underwriting agreement
or
the execution of the custody agreement with respect to such registration,
and
(ii) such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal,
a
Holder shall no longer have any right to include such Common Stock in the
registration as to which such withdrawal was made.
6.3 Cutbacks. If
the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall inform the Company
by letter of its belief that the number of shares of Common Stock requested
to
be included in a registration under this Section 6 would materially adversely
affect such offering, then the Company will include in such registration,
first
the securities proposed by the Company to be sold for its own account and,
second the Common Stock issuable upon conversion and all other securities
of the
Company to be included in such registration to the extent of the number and
type, if any, which the Company is so advised can be sold in (or during the
time
of) such offering, pro rata among the Holders participating in such offering
in
accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such
Holder.
7. Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection
with any subscription hereunder but in lieu of such fractional shares, the
Company shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product
of the
applicable fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price then in
effect.
8. Subordination.
Any right of the Holder to payment of principal or interest from the Company
shall be subordinated to the claims and rights of the holders of the Senior
Debt
(“Senior Debt Holders”). "Senior Debt" means all Indebtedness of the Company
other than the Debentures, whether outstanding on the date of execution of
this
Debenture or thereafter created, incurred or assumed, except (x) any such
Indebtedness that by the terms of the instrument or instruments by which
such
Indebtedness was created, assumed or incurred expressly provides that it
(i) is
junior in right of payment to the Debentures or (ii) ranks pari passu in
right of payment with the Debentures and (y) any amendments, modifications
or
supplements to, or any renewals, extensions, deferrals, refinancing and
refunding of, any of the foregoing. Any cash payment of principal or
interest to the Holder shall be collected, enforced or received by the Holder
as
trustee for the Senior Debt Holders and paid over to the Senior Debt Holders.
The Holder
5.
agrees
that in the event of any payment of principal or interest by the Company
to the
Holder by reason of any receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding,
or
proceeding for reorganization or readjustment of the Company or its properties,
or otherwise, then, in any such event, the Senior Debt Holders shall be
preferred in the payment of their claims over the claim of the Holder to
payment
of principal or interest against the Company or its properties, and the claims
of the Senior Debt Holders shall be first paid and satisfied in full before
any
payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property,
shall be made to the Holder. Provided, however, that this Section 8 shall
not
apply to any payment of principal or interest made to the Holder while the
Company is solvent and not in default with respect to its Senior
Debt.
9. Replacement
of Debenture Certificate. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the
Company of the certificate loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the
Debenture certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction,
upon delivery of a bond of indemnity satisfactory to the Company, or, in
the
case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Debenture
certificate, the Company will issue a new Debenture certificate, of like
tenor,
in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Debenture
certificate.
10. Covenants
of the Company. So long as any of the Debentures remain
outstanding, the Company shall:
|
|
(a)
|
At
all times keep reserved the total number of shares of Common Stock
necessary for the conversion of all of the then outstanding Debentures
at

forth in
Section 9 of this Debenture;
|
|
|
(d)
|
Not
enter into a loan secured by the property and/or assets of the
Company or
any of its subsidiaries with (i) any director, officer or 5% stockholder
of the Company, (ii) any entity in which a director, officer or
5%
stockholder has an interest as an officer, director, partner, beneficiary
of a trust or is a 5% or more equity holder of such entity, or
(iii) any
parent, spouse, child or grandchild of an officer, director or
5%
stockholder of the Company upon terms no less favorable to the
Company
than those which could be obtained from an “arms-length” lender;
and

|
|
(e)
|
Not
redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of the common
or
preferred stock of the Company.
|

|
Any
of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein,
in the

or
the Subscription Agreement shall be false or misleading in any
material
respect at the time made; or

|
then
and
in any such event the Holder of this Debenture shall have the option (unless
the
default shall have theretofore been cured) by written notice to the Company
to
declare the Debenture to be due and payable, whereupon the Debenture shall
forthwith mature and become due and payable, at the applicable prepayment
price
on the date of such notice, without presentment, demand, protest or further
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained
in this Debenture to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence of
an
Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of this Debenture
in writing setting out the nature of the default in reasonable
detail.
12. Remedies
on Default; Notice to Other Holders. In case any one or more of the Events

or her
rights by a suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding,
whether, to the extent permitted by law, for the specific performance of
any
agreement of the Company contained herein or in aid of the exercise of any
power
granted hereby. If any Holder of one or more of the Debentures shall declare
the
same due and payable or take any other action against the Company in respect
of
an Event of Default, the Company will forthwith give written notice to the
Holder of this Debenture, specifying such action and the nature of the default
alleged.

extend the fixed maturity of any Debenture, or reduce the principal amount
thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon,
or alter or impair the right to convert the same into Common Stock at the
rates
and upon the terms provided in this Debenture, without the consent of the
Holder
of each of the Debentures so affected, or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage
of
Debentures, the Holders of which are required to consent to any supplemental
agreement, without the consent of the Holders of all Debentures then
outstanding.
14. Changes,
Waivers. etc. Neither this Debenture nor any provisions hereof
may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by a statement
in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought, except to the extent provided in Section
13
of this Debenture.
