Initials

Organization; Reporting Company Status.

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state or jurisdiction in which it is incorporated and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the failure so to qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company or on the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) and the Company has not received any notice regarding, and to its Knowledge there is no threat of, the termination or discontinuance of the eligibility of the Common Stock for such trading.

Authorization. The Company (i) has duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance shares of Common Stock, which is a number sufficient for the conversion of the Debenture in full and (ii) at all times from and after the date hereof shall have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance to satisfy the conversion of the Debenture in full. The Company understands and acknowledges the potentially dilutive effect on the Common Stock of the issuance of the Conversion Shares. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Debenture in accordance with this Agreement is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company and notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. (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 conversion of the Debenture. The Company agrees, without cost or expense to Holder, to take or consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. § 362.

Authority; Validity and Enforceability. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into the Documents (as such term is hereinafter defined) and to perform all of its obligations hereunder and thereunder (including the issuance, sale and delivery to Holder of the Securities). The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Documents and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Debenture and the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no further filing, consent, or authorization is required by the Company, its board of directors, or its stockholders. Each of the Documents has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and each Document constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal or state securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws. The Securities have been duly and validly authorized for issuance by the Company and, when executed and delivered by the Company, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Documents” means (i) this Agreement; (ii) the Debenture; and (iii) the Promissory Note.

Initials

Validity of Issuance of the Securities. The Debenture and the Conversion Shares upon their issuance in accordance with the Debenture, will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, tag-along rights, drag-along rights or other similar rights.

Non-contravention. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Documents, the issuance of the Securities, and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not, and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and other Documents will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien (as such term is hereinafter defined) upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under, or result in the termination of, or require that any consent be obtained or any notice be given with respect to (i) the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its Subsidiaries, in each case as amended to the date of this Agreement, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, debenture, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or permit applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets or (iii) any statute, law, rule or regulation applicable to, or any judgment, decree or order of any court or government body having jurisdiction over, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets. A “Lien” means any assignment, transfer, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance of any nature, or an agreement to do so, or the ownership or acquisition or agreement to acquire any asset or property of any character subject to any of the foregoing encumbrances (including any conditional sale contract or other title retention agreement).

Approvals. No authorization, approval or consent of any court or public or governmental authority is required to be obtained by the Company for the issuance and sale of the Securities to Holder as contemplated by this Agreement, except such authorizations, approvals and consents as have been obtained by the Company prior to the date hereof.

Commission Filings. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company has properly and timely filed with the Commission all reports, proxy statements, forms and other documents required to be filed with the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act since becoming subject to such Acts (the “Commission Filings”), including without limitation the timely filing of all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months prior to the date hereof (or for such shorter period that the Company was required to file such reports). As of their respective dates, (i) the Commission Filings complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder applicable to such Commission Filings and (ii) none of the Commission Filings contained at the time of its filing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the Commission Filings, as of the dates of such documents, were true and complete in all material respects and complied with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) (except in the case of unaudited statements permitted by Form 10-QSB under the Exchange Act) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly presented the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments that in the aggregate are not material and to any other adjustment described therein).

Initials

Full Disclosure. There is no fact known to the Company (other than general economic or industry conditions known to the public generally) that has not been fully disclosed in the Commission Filings that (i) reasonably could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) reasonably could be expected to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations pursuant to the Documents.

Absence of Events of Default. No “Event of Default” (as defined in any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party) and no event which, with notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default (as so defined), has occurred and is continuing.

Securities Law Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Holder set forth in Article II, the offer and sale by the Company of the Securities is exempt from (i) the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and (ii) the registration and/or qualification provisions of all applicable state and provincial securities and “blue sky” laws. The Company shall not directly or indirectly take, and shall not permit any of its directors, officers or Affiliates directly or indirectly to take, any action (including, without limitation, any offering or sale to any person or entity of any security similar to the Debenture) which will make unavailable the exemption from Securities Act registration being relied upon by the Company for the offer and sale to Holder of the Debenture and the Conversion Shares, as contemplated by this Agreement. No form of general solicitation or advertising has been used or authorized by the Company or any of its officers, directors or Affiliates in connection with the offer or sale of the Debenture (and the Conversion Shares), as contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreement to which the Company is a party. As used in the Documents, “Affiliate” has the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

Initials

Registration Rights. Except as set forth on Schedule III.L., no Person has, and as of the Closing (as such term is hereinafter defined), no Person shall have, any demand, “piggy-back” or other rights to cause the Company to file any registration statement under the Securities Act relating to any of its securities or to participate in any such registration statement.

Interest. The timely payment of interest on the Debenture is not prohibited by the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, in each case as amended to the date of this Agreement, or any agreement, contract, document or other undertaking to which the Company is a party.

No Misrepresentation. No representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or any of the other Documents, any schedule, annex or exhibit hereto or thereto or any agreement, instrument or certificate furnished by the Company to Holder pursuant to this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

Subsidiaries. Other than the Subsidiaries, the Company does not presently own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any other corporation, association, or other business entity. The Company is not a participant in any joint venture, partnership, or similar arrangement.

Litigation. Other than as disclosed in the Commission Filings, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Company or its Subsidiaries that questions the validity of this Agreement, the Documents, or the right of the Company to enter into such agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or that might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse changes in the business, assets or condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries are parties or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company or its Subsidiaries currently pending or that the Company or its Subsidiaries intends to initiate.

There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

8-K Filing. 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 in the form required by the Exchange Act and attaching the material Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the Debenture) as exhibits to such filing (the “8-K Filing”).

Initials

Reserved Conversion Shares. The Company at all times from and after the date hereof shall have such number of shares of Common Stock duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance as shall be sufficient for issuance in full of the Conversion Shares. The Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect the full conversion of the Debenture and the Additional Debentures outstanding, if any. If at any time the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company is insufficient to effect the full conversion of the Debenture and the Additional Debentures outstanding, if any, the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company within thirty (30) days of such occurrence, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock. The Company's management shall recommend to the shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of shares of authorized Common Stock. Management shall also vote all of its shares in favor of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

Information. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that Holder shall not be provided with, nor be given access to, any material non-public information relating to the Company.

Accounting and Reserves. The Company shall maintain a standard and uniform system of accounting and shall keep proper books and records and accounts in which full, true, and correct entries shall be made of its transactions, all in accordance with GAAP applied on consistent basis through all periods, and shall set aside on such books for each fiscal year all such reserves for depreciation, obsolescence, amortization, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its operations as are required by such principles so applied.

Transactions with Affiliates. So long as the Debenture is outstanding, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, enter into any material transaction or agreement with any stockholder, officer, director or Affiliate of the Company or family member of any officer, director or Affiliate of the Company, unless the transaction or agreement is on terms no less favorable to the Company or the applicable Subsidiary than those obtainable from a nonaffiliated person. A “Subsidiary” means any entity of which securities or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions are owned directly or indirectly by the Company.

Certain Restrictions. So long as the Debenture is outstanding, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon any capital stock of the Company, nor shall any capital stock of the Company be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of shares of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan (including a stock option plan) of the Company or pursuant to any of the security agreements listed on Schedule IV.I) for any consideration by the Company, directly or indirectly, nor shall any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any Common Stock.

Initials

Short Selling.

So long as the Debenture is outstanding, Holder agrees and covenants on its behalf and on behalf of its affiliates that neither Holder nor its affiliates shall at any time engage in any short sales with respect to the Company’s Common Stock, or sell put options or similar instruments with respect to the Company’s Common Stock. The parties acknowledge that Holder shall be entitled to sell the Common Stock from each Debenture conversion immediately upon submission of the applicable Debenture Conversion Notice, and payment of the purchase price, to the Company for such Common Stock.

ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK

The Company undertakes and agrees that no instruction other than the instructions referred to in this Article V shall be given to its transfer agent for the Conversion Shares and that the Conversion Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and applicable law. Nothing contained in this Section V.A. shall affect in any way Holder’s obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of such Common Stock.

Xxxxxx shall have the right to convert the Debenture by telecopying an executed and completed Conversion Notice (as such term is defined in the Debenture) to the Company. Each date on which a Conversion Notice is telecopied to and received by the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (as such term is defined in the Debenture). The Company shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates evidencing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture (together with a new debenture, if any, representing the principal amount of the Debenture not being so converted) to Holder via express courier, or if a Registration Statement covering the Common Stock has been declared effective by the SEC by electronic transfer, within two (2) business days after receipt by the Company of the Conversion Notice, as applicable (the “Delivery Date”).

Upon the conversion of the Debenture or respective part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action (including the issuance of an opinion of counsel) to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at conversion or exercise representing the number of shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion or exercise. The Company covenants that the Conversion Shares will be unlegended, free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Company Common Stock provided the Conversion Shares, as applicable, are being sold pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the Common Stock to be sold or is otherwise exempt from registration when sold.

The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this section, or the Mandatory Redemption Amount described in Section E hereof, beyond the Delivery Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to Section E hereof upon Conversion of the Debenture or late payment of the Mandatory Redemption Amount, in the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, as the case may be, for each $10,000 of Debenture principal amount being converted or redeemed. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Common Stock by the Delivery Date or make payment by the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind all or part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that late payment charges described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

Initials

Mandatory Redemption. In the event the Company is prohibited from issuing Common Stock, or fails to timely deliver Common Stock on a Delivery Date, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture) or for any reason other than pursuant to the limitations set forth herein, then at the Holder's election, the Company must pay to the Holder ten (10) business days after request by the Holder or on the Delivery Date (if requested by the Holder) a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the outstanding Principal Amount (as defined in the Debenture) of the Debenture designated by the Holder by 150%, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon ("Mandatory Redemption Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Holder on the same date as the Company Common Stock otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) business days after request, whichever is sooner ("Mandatory Redemption Payment Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Debenture principal and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding.

Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Debenture by the Delivery Date and if ten (10) days after the Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Common Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (A) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Debenture for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of Debenture principal, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000, plus interest. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

Initials

The Securities shall be delivered by the Company to the Holder pursuant to Section I.B. hereof on a “delivery-against-payment basis” at the Closing.

Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend: (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a Debenture is converted or exercised (as applicable) at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Conversion Shares, or if such Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations thereof) then such Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section, it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by Holder to the Company or the Company's transfer agent of a certificate representing the Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

VI.

CLOSING DATE

Promptly after receipt by a party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (an “Indemnified Party”) of written notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of which indemnification is being sought (each, a “Claim”), the Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Company against whom indemnification pursuant to this Article IX is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced and forfeits substantive rights or defenses by reason of such failure. In connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of legal counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment.

In the event one party hereunder should have a claim for indemnification that does not involve a claim or demand being asserted by a third party, the Indemnified Party promptly shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim, such dispute shall be resolved by mutual agreement of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof.

No cash payment of less than $1.00 shall be required to be given unless specifically requested by the Holder.

SECTION 3.4

Adjustments. The Conversion Price and the number of shares deliverable upon conversion of this Debenture are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(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 fifty percent (150%) 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 a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Corporate Changes.

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.

Initials			Initials

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 fifty percent (150%) 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.

SECTION 3.6

Surrender of Debentures. Upon any redemption of this Debenture pursuant to Sections 3.2, 3.5 or 6.2, or upon maturity pursuant to Section 2.4, the Holder shall either deliver this Debenture by hand to the Company at its principal executive offices or surrender the same to the Company at such address by nationally recognized overnight courier. Payment of the redemption price or the amount due on maturity specified 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 notice to the Company. If payment of such redemption price is not made in full by the redemption date, or the amount due on maturity is not paid in full by the Maturity Date, the Holder shall again have the right to convert this Debenture as provided in Article 3 hereof or to declare an Event of Default.

SECTION 6.2

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 fifty percent (150%) 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) of Section 6.1, all amounts owing or otherwise outstanding under this Debenture automatically shall become immediately due and payable without the necessity of any notice or declaration as aforesaid. In the event that the Company is obligated to pay any amount to the Holder in connection with an acceleration of the maturity of this Debenture as set forth herein, the Company shall first apply against such amount an amount equal to the outstanding amount owed by the Holder to the Company under the Promissory Note, if any, and the amount otherwise owed by the Company to the Holder in connection with an acceleration of the maturity of this Debenture shall be reduced by the outstanding amount owed by the Holder to the Company under the Promissory Note, with the Promissory Note deemed paid by Holder to the extent of and with respect to such amount, and if the amount due from the Company to the Holder in connection with an acceleration of the maturity of this Debenture is equal to or greater than the outstanding amount owed under the Promissory Note, the Company shall cancel and deem the Promissory Note as paid in full in connection with the application of the amount owed by the Holder to the Company under Promissory Note against the amount otherwise owed by the Company to the Holder hereunder. The Company shall immediately pay in cash to the Holder any remaining amount owed by the Company to the Holder in connection with the acceleration of the maturity of this Debenture as described herein, after the application of the outstanding amount owed under the Promissory Note, if any, to such obligation.

SECTION 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.

		14
Initials			Initials

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.

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE


		Date of Issuance
$1,800,000		September 12, 2008

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Lender”), the principal sum of One Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,800,000.00) (the “Principal Amount”), plus interest calculated pursuant to Section 1 below. Unless earlier paid under the terms hereof, the principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable by the Company on demand by the Lender at any time after September 30, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”).

This Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) is issued in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement between the parties hereto, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), and capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Interest. The Company promises to pay interest to Lender at the rate of eight and one quarter percent (8 ¼ %) per annum, simple interest, on the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which interest shall be calculated from the date of this Note, until the date on which all amounts due and payable on this Note are paid in full or this Note is otherwise cancelled, (the “Payoff Date”). Interest hereunder shall be paid on a monthly basis, commencing on the 15^th date of the month following the month of issuance of this Note. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Payoff Date. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Nothing contained in this Note shall require the Company at any time to pay interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate allowable under applicable law and any payments in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to the Company or credited to reduce the principal amount hereunder.

Payment. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the principal office of the Company, or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment shall be credited first to Costs (as defined below), if any, then to accrued interest due and payable and any remainder applied to principal. Prepayment of principal, in part or in full, together with accrued interest, may be made from time to time in the sole discretion of the Company without the Lender’s consent.

Prepayment Obligation. Notwithstanding the option of the Company to prepay any portion of this Note, as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Company shall prepay, on a monthly basis, on any date(s) of such month during which this Note remains outstanding (each date referred to herein as the “Periodic Prepayment Date”), an amount equal to not less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (or such lesser amount that equals the remaining outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note), with the amount, if any, in excess of such sum to be determined by and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, until all principal and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note has been paid, subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on each Periodic Prepayment Date:

3.1

The Company may immediately sell all of the Common Stock Issued at Conversion (as defined in the Debenture) pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC (as defined in the Debenture) pursuant to the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC having substantially the same effect as such Rule;

3.2

No Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture) has occurred under the Debenture;

3.3

The average Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined in the Debenture) for every period of ten consecutive Trading Days (as defined in the Debenture) during the term of this Note shall not be less than $0.04 per share (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like); and

3.4

The Lender shall have honored all Conversion Notices (as defined in the Debenture) submitted by the Holder (as defined in the Debenture) within the applicable time period set forth in the Debenture.

The amount of any such prepayment made by the Company under the terms of this Section 3 (each such prepayment referred to herein as a “Periodic Prepayment”) shall be credited first to Costs, if any, then to accrued interest due and payable under this Note and the remainder applied to principal. Any prepayment made by the Company under this Note in excess of any otherwise required Periodic Prepayment may be applied to any future required Periodic Prepayment at the option of the Company, subject to the sole and absolute discretion of the Company. In the event that the Company fails to deliver any Periodic Prepayment that is otherwise required under the terms of this Section 3, the Lender’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be limited to the Interest Rate being increased by 0.25 percentage points per Periodic Prepayment required under this Section 3 that is not paid by the Company to the Lender, provided however, that in no event shall the Interest Rate exceed an amount equal to twelve and one-half percent (12.5%). In no event shall any failure by the Company to pay any Periodic Prepayment required hereunder give any right to the Lender to collect upon the Collateral or otherwise collect any outstanding sums under this Note.

Recourse. Each party hereto accepts and agrees that this Note is a full recourse promissory note and that subject to the terms of this Note, Lender may exercise any and all remedies available to it under law.

Security Interest.

5.1

To secure the payment and performance of the Company’s obligations under this Note, provided however that any obligations of the Company to prepay any amounts under this Note pursuant to Section 3 are not so secured, the Company hereby grants to Lender a security interest in the Company’s entire right, title, and interest in and to all of the following, wherever located and whether now existing or owned or hereafter acquired or arising (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(a)

all accounts, accounts receivable, contract rights, rights to payment, letters of credit, documents, securities, promissory notes, debentures, money, and investment property, whether held directly or through a securities intermediary, and other obligations of any kind owed to the Company, however evidenced;

(b)

all inventory, including, without limitation, all materials, components, work in progress, finished goods, merchandise, and all other goods which are held for sale, lease or other disposition or furnished under contracts of service or consumed in the Company’s business;

(c)

all equipment, including, without limitation, all machinery, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, tools, parts, automobiles, trucks, and other vehicles, appliances, computer and other electronic data processing equipment and other office equipment, computer programs and related data processing software, and all additions, substitutions, replacements, parts, accessories, and accessions to and for the foregoing;

(d)

all books, records and other written, electronic or other documentation in whatever form maintained by or for the Company in connection with the ownership of its assets or the conduct of its business; and

(e)

all products and proceeds, including insurance proceeds, of any and all of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no security interest is granted in any contract rights if such grant causes a default enforceable under applicable law or if a third party has the right enforceable under applicable law to terminate the Company’s rights under or with respect to any such contract and such third party has exercised such right of termination.

5.2

The security interest on the Collateral granted by this Note shall continue and remain in effect until terminated pursuant to subsection 5.4 below.

5.3

The Company shall execute any further documents reasonably requested by Lender, which are necessary or appropriate to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Collateral.

5.4

Upon the Payoff Date, the security interest granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall terminate, and Lender shall promptly execute and deliver to the Company such documents and instruments reasonably requested by the Company as shall be necessary to evidence termination of all security interests given by the Company to Lender hereunder.

5.5

So long as an Event of Default does not exist, the Company shall have the right to possess the Collateral, manage its property and sell its inventory in the ordinary course of business.

Event of Default. An “Event of Default” shall exist under this Note upon the happening of a failure of the Company to pay the outstanding Principal Amount and all other outstanding sums under this Note, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the Maturity Date, provided that such sums have not previously been paid, at the Company’s sole option, prior to the Maturity Date, which failure is not cured within 30 days after the Company’s receipt of written notice thereof sent by Lender to the Company. Any failure by the Company to pay any Periodic Prepayment that may otherwise be due under this Note shall not be an Event of Default under this Note. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies afforded by the Uniform Commercial Code as from time to time in effect in the State of California or afforded by other applicable law.

Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be subordinated to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company. For the purposes of this Note, “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean the principal of (and premium, if any) and unpaid interest on, indebtedness of the Company, or with respect to which the Company is a guarantor, to banks, insurance companies, lease financing institutions or other lending or financial institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money, which is for money borrowed (or purchase or lease of equipment in the case of lease financing) by the Company, and which is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, whether or not secured, and whether or not previously incurred or incurred in the future. Senior Indebtedness shall include all obligations of the Company pursuant to any modifications, renewals and extensions of such Senior Indebtedness. Lender acknowledges that the Company may incur additional Senior Indebtedness and that such Senior Indebtedness shall be senior in repayment preference to the Note. Upon written request of the Company, Lender agrees to execute a subordination agreement from any lender of Senior Indebtedness in order to give effect to this Section 7.

Amendments and Waivers; Cure Period. This Note may not be amended without the prior written consent of each of the Company and the Lender. Any waiver by the Company or the Lender of a breach of any provision of this Note 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 Note. The failure of the Company or the Lender to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note 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 Note. Any waiver by the Company or the Lender must be in writing. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8 shall be binding upon Lender and Lender’s successors and assigns. Any party to this Note shall have a cure period of not less than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of any alleged breach or default under the terms of this Note to cure such alleged breach or default.
