ii.
Lender shall not be obligated to make any Advance which would cause the outstanding principal balance of the Credit Facility plus accrued and unpaid interest (the "Credit Balance") to exceed the Maximum Credit Balance.

The Debentures are and will be issued under and pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated March 30, 2007 between Maker, as Borrower, and Holder, as Lender (the "Credit Agreement").

If prior to the expiration of this Debenture by conversion or by its terms, the Company should issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (except (a) pursuant to warrants, options and securities convertible into common stock issued by the Company and outstanding on the date this Debenture, (b) to officers, directors, or employees of the Company or any subsidiary, and to certain consultants and contractors who perform substantial services for the Company, pursuant to a management or key employee bonus or incentive plan approved by the Board of Directors prior to the date of this Debenture, or (c) in consideration for property or services) for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then forthwith upon such issue or sale, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price (computed to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the existing Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (i) (w) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (x) the number of shares which, when multiplied by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale would equal the consideration received by the Company upon such issue or sale, and the denominator of which is (ii) the sum of (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issue or sale plus (z) the number of additional shares issued.
(ii)
Adjustment for Dividends. In the event the Company shall make or issue, or shall have issued, or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of common stock entitled to receive a dividend or the distribution (other than a distribution otherwise provided for herein) payable in (a) securities of the Company other than shares of common stock or (b) assets (including cash paid or payable out of capital or capital surplus or surplus created as a result of a revaluation of property, but excluding the cumulative dividends payable with respect to an authorized series of Preferred Stock), then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Debentures shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of common stock receivable thereupon, the number of securities or such other assets of the Company which they would have received had their Debentures been converted into common stock on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities or such other assets receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this paragraph with respect to Debenture holders.
(iii)
Adjustment for Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise then and in each such event the holder of the Debentures shall have the right thereafter to exercise such Debentures and receive the kind an amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of common stock into which such Debenture might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(iv)
Convertible Securities. For the purpose of the adjustment provided for in section (iv) of this Paragraph 6(e), if at any time or from time to time after the date of this Debenture the Company shall issue any rights or options for the purchase of, or stock or other securities convertible into, additional shares of common stock (such convertible stock or securities being hereafter referred to as "convertible securities,") then and in such event, whether or not the convertible security is actually converted or exercised to acquire additional shares of Common Stock, such convertible securities shall be deemed to have been so converted or exercised, in which event the conversion value or exercise price of the convertible securities shall be treated as the consideration per share received by the Company for such securities for the purpose of determining the adjustment, if any, provided for in Subsection (i) of this paragraph.
(v)
Adjustment of Number of Shares. Anything in this Certificate to the contrary notwithstanding, in case the Company shall at any time issue Common Stock or Convertible Securities by way of dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company or subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of such issuance (on the day following the date fixed for determining shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution) or decreased in the case of such subdivision or increased in the case of such combination (on the date that such subdivision or combination shall become effective).
(vi)
No Adjustment for Small Amounts. Anything in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to give effect to any adjustment in the Conversion Price unless and until the net effect of one or more adjustments, determined as above provided, shall have required a change of the Converion Price by at least one cent, but when the cumulative net effect of more than one adjustment so determined shall be to change the actual Conversion Price by at least one cent, such change in the Conversion Price shall thereupon be given effect.
(vii)
Number of Shares Adjusted. Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Holder of this Debenture shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase, at the new Conversion Price, the number of shares, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon exercise of this Debenture by the Conversion Price in effect on the date hereof and dividing the product so obtained by the new Conversion Price.
(viii)
Common Stock Defined. Whenever reference is made in this paragraph 6(e) to the issue or sale of shares of Common Stock, the term "Common Stock" shall mean
the Common Stock of the Company of the class authorized as of the date hereof and any other class of stock ranking on a parity with such Common Stock. However, subject to the provisions of paragraph 6 hereof, shares issuable upon exercise hereof shall include only shares of the class designated as Common Stock of the Company as of the date hereof.
f.
Exercise of Conversion Privilege. To exercise its conversion privilege or in the event of the automatic conversion of the Debenture, the Holder shall surrender such Debenture, or recognize partial prepayment therefor, being converted to Maker at its principal office, and shall give written notice to Maker at that office that Holder is delivering the Debenture for conversion or recognizing partial prepayment. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be issued. The Debenture, if surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by proper assignment thereof to the Company or in blank.
g.

(1)
any taking by Maker of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or

Assignment of Debenture. This Debenture may not be assigned by Maker without the Holder’s written consent.
11.
Non-Waiver.

If the performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof, or any agreement between Maker and Holder shall result in Interest exceeding the limit for Interest prescribed by law, then the amount of such Interest shall be reduced to such limit. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder should receive as Interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the amount which would be excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing hereunder (or, at the option of Holder, be paid over to Maker) and not to the payment of Interest.
