<PAGE>

pursuant to this Article Two, shall and issue and deliver to Holder certificates
evidencing such shares of Common Stock as hereinafter set forth. If a portion of
this Debenture is converted, Borrower shall deliver to the Holder a certificate
for the proper number of shares of Common Stock for the portion converted and a
new Debenture in the form hereof for the balance of the Principal amount hereof.
Upon transfer of this Debenture, the then-unexercised conversion or purchase
right set forth in this Article Two shall inure to the transferee(s) in
proportion to their respective interests, or as Holder shall allocate said
conversion or purchase right.

2.1.2 Conversion Rate. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section
2.2 hereof, Holder shall be entitled to convert the entire sum of the
indebtedness represented by this Debenture into shares of Capital Stock
(Conversion Shares) at a conversion rate per share equal to the average of the
closing bid prices of the Borrower's Common Stock quoted on the NASDAQ Over-The
Counter Bulletin Board, or such other national exchange or trading system as the
Borrower's Common Stock is then trading, for the ten (10) consecutive trading
days immediately prior to the date of notice of conversion (Conversion Rate).
Upon Borrower's issue and delivery of the Conversion Shares to Holder, the
account payable to Holder will be deemed satisfied and paid in full.

2.1.3 Overpayment. Holder agrees to repay any amounts overpaid on Borrower's
account payable to Borrower within 15 days of a sale of the Conversion Shares.
Borrower agrees that Holder may set-off any such amounts against any outstanding
balance owed by Borrower.

2.2 Cash Distributions. No adjustment on account of cash dividends or interest
on Common Stock or other securities purchasable hereunder will be made to the
Conversion Rate.

2.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in
connection with any conversion or purchase hereunder. In lieu of such fractional
shares, Borrower shall make a cash payment therefore upon the basis of the
Conversion Rate then in effect.

2.4 Authorized Shares. Borrower covenants that, during the period the conversion
or purchase right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common
Stock upon the conversion of this Debenture. Borrower agrees that its issuance
of this Debenture shall constitute full authority to its officers who are
charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the
necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this
Debenture or purchase of shares pursuant hereto.

2.5 Purchase Right. Notwithstanding any partial payment of the Principal of this
Debenture, the conversion right or right to purchase securities as set forth in
this Article Two shall continue with respect to such unpaid Principal, adjusted
as provided in this Article Two, until the Maturity Date.

2.6 Effect of Conversion. Upon any conversion of this Debenture under this
Article Two, such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately
prior to the close of business on the effective date of such conversion, and the
person or persons in whose name or names the certificates for shares of Common
Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall become the holder or holders
of record of such Common Stock at that time and date. The certificates for the
Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to Holder within a reasonable time,
not exceeding ten (10) business days, after the effective date of conversion,
and shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following restrictive
legend:

This security has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may
not be sold or offered for sale unless registered under said Act and any
applicable state securities laws or unless the Company has received an opinion
of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required.

registered and became eligible for resale in the public markets, on any trading

<PAGE>

day, Holder may not sell more than fifteen percent (15%) of the previous day's
trading volume, except pursuant to a prior written consent of Borrower. These
restrictions are to insure an orderly liquidation of the Conversion Shares so as
not to unduly affect the overall market for the Common Stock.
