    b) Remedies
      Upon Event of Default.
      If any
      Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture,
      plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing
      in
      respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s
      election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount.
      Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results
      in
      the eventual acceleration of this Debenture, the interest rate on this Debenture
      shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the
      maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Upon the payment in full of the
      Mandatory Default Amount, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Debenture
      to
      or as directed by the Company. In connection with such acceleration described
      herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any
      presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may
      upon the expiration of the applicable grace period, if any, enforce any and
      all
      of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it
      under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder
      at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights
      as a
      holder of the Debenture until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full
      payment pursuant to this Section 5(b). No such rescission or annulment shall
      affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent
      thereon.

    b) Absolute
      Obligation.
      Except
      as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Debenture shall alter or
      impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
      to
      pay the principal of, liquidated damages and accrued interest, as applicable,

      of
      such loss, theft or destruction of such Debenture, and of the ownership hereof,
      reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

    


    d) Governing
      Law.
      All
      questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
      of this Debenture shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
      with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
      principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal
      proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the
      transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought
      against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers,
      shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal
      courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New
      York Courts”).
      Each
      party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
      New
      York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection
      herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein
      (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents),
      and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action
      or
      proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
      of
      such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient
      venue
      for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service
      of
      process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
      proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
      overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address
      in
      effect for notices to it under this 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 other manner permitted by applicable 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 in
      the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
      proceeding.

    e) 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
      by
      the Company or the Holder must be in writing.

     

    f) 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 the applicable law governing
      usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be
      lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.
      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.

     

    g) Next
      Business Day.
      Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other
      than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business
      Day.

    


    h) 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.

    i) Assumption. 
      Any successor to the Company or any surviving entity in a Fundamental
      Transaction shall (i) assume, prior to such Fundamental Transaction, all of
      the
      obligations of the Company under this Debenture and the other Transaction
      Documents pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory
      to
      the Holder (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii)
      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 amount and the interest rate of this Debenture
      and
      having similar ranking to this Debenture, which shall be satisfactory to the
      Holder (any such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  The
      provisions of this Section 6(i) shall apply similarly and equally to successive
      Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations
      of this Debenture.

    j) Secured
      Obligation.
      The
      obligations of the Company under this Debenture are secured by certain assets
      of
      the Company and each Subsidiary pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as
      of
      May 22, 2007 between the Company, the Subsidiaries of the Company and the
      Secured Parties (as defined therein).
