Shares”)
at the
option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time.

of Conversion attached hereto as
Annex
A
(a
“Notice
of Conversion”),
specifying therein the principal amount of this Debenture to be converted and
the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion
Date”).
If no
Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date
shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is provided hereunder. To
effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount

converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the

4.2 Conversion

of
its records as to Holder in a reasonable time following any conversion. If

objection to the Company within twenty days following the Company’s mailing of
such record to holder. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records
of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest
error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge
and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following
conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal
amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holders right to convert
hereunder shall in no way excuse the Company from having to meet its obligation
to pay the outstanding principal and interest on this Debenture nor shall it
limit the Holder’s right to seek any other remedy against the Company for
failing to meet such obligations. The right to convert this Debenture into
Conversion Shares is in addition to any other rights or remedies the Holder
may
have hereunder or under law.
3
4.3 Conversion
Price.

conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be $0.75 (subject to

4.4 Mechanics
of Conversion
(a) Conversion
Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount.
The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall
be
determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal
amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion
Price.
(b) Delivery
of Certificate Upon Conversion.
Not
later than three Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates
representing the Conversion Shares which shall be free of restrictive legends
and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Purchase Agreement)
representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the
conversion of this Debenture including payment of interest in shares of Common
Stock. The Company shall, if available and if allowed under applicable
securities laws, use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates
required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically
through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing
corporation performing similar functions.
(c) Failure
to Deliver Certificates.
If in
the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not
delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day
after a Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to
the
Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates
thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall
immediately return the certificates representing the principal amount of this
Debenture tendered for conversion.
(d) Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion.
The
Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of
its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of
issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this
Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other
actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (and the
other holders of the Debentures), not less than such number of shares of the
Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and
restrictions of Section 6) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal
amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Company
covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall,
upon
issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable
and,
if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act,
registered for public sale in accordance with such Registration
Statement.
(e) Fractional
Shares.
The
Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of fractional shares, one whole
share of Common Stock.
(f) Transfer
Taxes.
The
issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this
Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary
stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery
of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay
any
tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance
and
delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that
of
the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required
to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of
such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that
such
tax has been paid.

Section
5. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges
5.1 Different
Denominations.
This
Debenture is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures
of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same. No service charge will be made for such registration of transfer
or
exchange.
5.2 Investment
Representations.
This
Debenture has been issued subject to certain investment representations of
the
original Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement and may be transferred
or
exchanged only in compliance with the Purchase Agreement and applicable federal
and state securities laws and regulations.
5.3 Reliance
on Debenture Register.
Prior
to due presentment to the Company for transfer of this Debenture, the Company
and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Debenture
is duly registered on the Debenture Register as the owner hereof for the purpose
of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether
or
not this Debenture is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section
6. Certain Adjustments
6.1 Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits.
If the
Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (A) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its
Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in
shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Debenture,
including as interest thereon), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares
of
capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied
by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case
of a
subdivision, combination or re-classification.
6.2 Fundamental
Transaction.
If, at
any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series
of
related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities,
cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”),
then
upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the
right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon
such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it
would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate
Consideration”).
For
purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price
shall
be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on
the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration.
5
If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or
property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall
be
given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any
conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Transaction. To the
extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the
Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to
the
Holder a new debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing
the Holder’s right to convert such debenture into Alternate Consideration. The
terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected
shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply
with the provisions of this paragraph (d) and insuring that this Debenture
(or
any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
6.3 Calculations.
All
calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section
6,
the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as
of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
6.4 Notice
to the Holder.
(a) Adjustment
to Conversion Price.
Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 6,
the
Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion
Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate security,
despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall
be
deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest
possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted
or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement).
(b) Notice
to Allow Conversion by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
If (A)
the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common
Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on
or
a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting
to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the
approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection
with
any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which
the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the
assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common
Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall
authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of
the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to
be
filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of
this
Debenture, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last addresses
as
it shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 20 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not
to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to
be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are
to
be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the
failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture during the
20-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the
event triggering such notice.

Section
7. Optional Redemption Right
Commencing
six months after the Original Issuance Date, the Company shall have the right,
exercisable on not less than twenty (20) Trading Days prior written notice
to
the Holder of the Debentures, to prepay in part or in full the Debenture in

Company is exercising its right to prepay the Debentures issued on the Original

On
the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional
Prepayment Date”),
the
Company shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below)
to the Holder. If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Debenture,
the
Company shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to the
sum
of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture plus any amount
of
interest owed hereunder to the Holder (“Optional
Prepayment Amount”).
The
Holder shall at all times prior to the Optional Prepayment Date maintain the
right to convert all or any portion of the Debenture and any portion of
Debenture so converted after receipt of an Optional Prepayment Notice and prior
to the Optional Prepayment Date set forth in such notice and payment of the
aggregate Optional Prepayment Amount shall be deducted from the principal amount
of Debenture which is otherwise subject to prepayment pursuant to such notice.
If the Company delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the
Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Debenture on the Optional
Prepayment Date, then the Company shall forfeit its right to prepay the
Debenture pursuant to such Optional Prepayment Notice and shall thereafter
forfeit its right to Optional Prepayment.

Debenture and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by
applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Debenture or the transactions contemplated
hereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any
provisions of this Debenture, then the prevailing party in such action or
proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and
other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and
prosecution of such action or proceeding.
9.5 Waiver.
Any
waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this
Debenture 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
Debenture. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict
adherence to any term of this Debenture 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 Debenture. Any waiver
must be in writing.
9.6 Severability.
If any
provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance
of
this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable
to
any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all
other
persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other
amount deemed interest due hereunder violates applicable laws governing usury,
the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered
to
equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive
the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest
on
this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of
this
indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that
it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded the execution
of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

9.7 Next
Business Day.
Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other
than a Business Day or Trading Day, such payment or obligation shall be made
or
performed on the next succeeding Business Day.
9.8 Headings.
The
headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part
of
this Debenture and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
9.9 Assumption.
Any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in a Fundamental Transaction shall
(i) assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Debenture
and the other Transaction Documents prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
and
(ii) to issue to the Holder a new debenture of such successor entity evidenced
by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this
Debenture, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest
rate equal to the principal amounts and the interest rates of the Debentures
held by the Holder and having similar ranking to this Debenture, and
satisfactory to the Holder (any such approval not to be unreasonably withheld
or
delayed). The provisions of this Section 9.9 shall apply similarly and equally
to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard
to
any limitations of this Debenture.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Debenture to be duly executed
by a
