      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
      4.  Conversion.

     

    a)  Voluntary
      Conversion.
      At any
      time after the Original Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer
      outstanding, this Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock
      at
      the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to
      time
      (subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 4(c)
      hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the
      form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Annex
      A
      (a
“Notice
      of Conversion”),
      specifying therein the principal amount of Debentures 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 Debentures to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this
      Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been so converted.
      Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding
      principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable
      conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the
      principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. The Company shall
      deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion within 2 Business Days of
      receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records
      of the Holder 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.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    b)  Conversion
      Price.
      The
      conversion price (the “Conversion
      Price”)
      in
      effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $0.12, as same may be adjusted
      as described in the Transaction Documents.

    


    c)  Conversion
      Limitations;
      Holder’s
      Restriction on Conversion.
      At any
      time after the Common Stock is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange
      Act,
      the Company shall not effect any conversion of this Debenture, and the Holder
      shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, pursuant
      to
      Section 4(a) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such
      conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on
      the applicable Notice of Conversion, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%
      of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
      effect to such conversion.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
      number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
      affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
      conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the determination of such
      sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock
      which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted
      portion of this Debenture beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
      affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
      portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation,
      any other Debentures or the Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion
      or
      exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by
      the
      Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding
      sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(c), beneficial ownership shall be
      calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. To the extent
      that the limitation contained in this section applies, the determination of
      whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned
      by
      the Holder) and of which a portion of this Debenture is convertible shall be
      in
      the sole discretion of such Holder. To ensure compliance with this restriction,
      the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers
      a
      Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion 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. For purposes
      of this Section 4(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common
      Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
      as reflected in (x) Schedule
      3.1(g)
      to the
      Purchase Agreement, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or
      (z)
      any other notice by the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth
      the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral
      request of the Holder, the Company shall within two Business Days confirm orally
      and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
      outstanding.  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 the Holder or its
      affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
      Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this Section 4(c) may be waived
      by
      the Holder, at the election of the Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior
      notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section 4(c) shall continue
      to
      apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder,
      as
      may be specified in such notice of waiver).

Mechanics
      of Conversion

     

    i.  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. 

     

    ii.  Delivery
      of Certificate Upon Conversion.
      Not
      later than three Business 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 Debentures and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and
      unpaid interest. 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. 

     

    iii.  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 Business
      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
      Debentures tendered for conversion. 

     

    iv.  Obligation
      Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages.
      If the
      Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or
      certificates pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) by the third Business Day after the
      Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated
      damages and not as a penalty, for each $1000 of principal amount being
      converted, $10 per Business Day (increasing to $20 per Business Day after 10
      Business Days after such damages begin to accrue) for each Business Day after
      such fifth Business Day until such certificates are delivered. The Company’s
      obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this
      Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
      irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
      waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
      judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
      counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
      breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or
      any
      violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and
      irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
      obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
      such
      Conversion Shares; provided,
      however,
      such
      delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the
      Company may have against the Holder. In the event a Holder of this Debenture
      shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof,
      the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or
      any
      one associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation
      of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court,
      on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this
      Debenture shall have been sought and obtained and the Company posts a surety
      bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the principal amount
      of this Debenture outstanding, which is subject to the injunction, which bond
      shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the
      dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent
      it obtains judgment. In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the
      Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly
      noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual
      damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 herein for the
      Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified
      herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available
      to
      it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
      performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall
      not
      prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other
      Section hereof or under applicable law.

    v.  Compensation
      for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
      Conversion.
      In
      addition to any other rights available to the Holder and only if after the
      Original Issue Date the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements
      of
      the Exchange Act, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder
      such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) by the third
      Business Day after the Conversion Date, and if after such third Business Day
      the
      Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market
      transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
      by
      such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving
      upon
      such conversion (a “Buy-In”),
      then
      the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies
      available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder’s
      total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common
      Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares
      of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated receiving from the conversion
      at
      issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price of the Common Stock at the time
      of
      the sale (including brokerage commissions, if any) giving rise to such purchase
      obligation and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue Debentures in
      principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion
      or
      deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have
      been
      issued had the Company timely complied with its delivery requirements under
      Section 4(d)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having
      a
      total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
      conversion of Debentures with respect to which the actual sale price of the
      Conversion Shares at the time of the sale (including brokerage commissions,
      if
      any) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause
      (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to
      pay
      the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
      indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
      Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a Holder requires
      the Company to make payment in respect of a Buy-In for the failure to timely
      deliver certificates hereunder and the Company timely pays in full such payment,
      the Company shall not be required to pay such Holder liquidated damages under
      Section 4(d)(iv) in respect of the certificates resulting in such
      Buy-In.

    vi.  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 the Debentures, 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 any additional
      requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set forth in the
      Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and
      restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal
      amount of the Debentures. 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.

    


    vii.  Fractional
      Shares.
      Upon a
      conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock
      certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, but may
      if
      otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of
      a
      share based on the VWAP at such time. If the Company elects not, or is unable,
      to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu
      of
      the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

    


    viii.  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 such Debentures 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. Certain
      Adjustments.

    


    a)  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. 

    


    b)  Subsequent
      Equity Sales.
      If the
      Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this
      Debenture is outstanding, shall sell, grant any option to purchase or offer,
      sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of
      or
      issue any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to
      acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the
      then Conversion Price (such lower price, the "BASE CONVERSION PRICE" and such
      issuances collectively, a "DILUTIVE ISSUANCE"), as adjusted hereunder (if the
      holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any
      time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions,
      floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to
      warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in connection with such
      issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price
      per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed
      to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive
      Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base
      Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock
      or
      Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
      adjustment will be made under this Section 5(b) in respect of an Exempt
      Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the
      Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock
      Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance
      price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other
      pricing terms (such notice the DILUTIVE ISSUANCE NOTICE"). For purposes of
      clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice
      pursuant to this Section 5(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance,
      after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive
      a
      number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price regardless
      of
      whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice
      of Conversion.

    c) Pro
      Rata Distributions.
      If the
      Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall distribute
      to
      all holders of Common Stock (and not to the holders of the Debenture) evidences
      of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights
      or
      warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case
      the
      Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in
      effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
      stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the
      denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above,
      and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the
      then
      fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence
      of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common
      Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case
      the
      adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the
      portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
      subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment
      shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
      immediately after the record date mentioned above.

    


    d) 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. 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 he foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving
      entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall (i) assume in writing all of the
      obligations of the Company under thisDebenture 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) 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 the Debenture, and satisfactory to the Holder (any such approval not to
      be
      unreasonably withheld or delayed). The provisions of this Section shall apply
      similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be
      applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of
      this Debenture.

    e) Calculations.
      All
      calculations under this Section 5 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
      5,
      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.

    


    Section
      6. Notice
      To The Holder.

    


    i.     
      Adjustment
      To Conversion Price.
      Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 5, 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).

    ii. Notice
      To Allow Conversion By Holder.
      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 10 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
      10-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the
      event triggering such notice.

    


    Section
      7. Negative
      Covenants.
      So long
      as any portion of this Debenture is outstanding, the Company will not and will
      not permit any of its Subsidiaries to directly or indirectly:

      8. Events
      of Default.
      

    


    a)  “Event
      of Default”,
      wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason

      in cash. The aggregate amount payable upon an Event of Default shall be equal
      to
      the Mandatory Prepayment Amount. Commencing 15 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 the rate of 18% per annum,
      or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged under
      applicable law. All Debentures for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Amount

      surrendered to or as directed by the Company. The Holder need not provide and
      the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice
      of
      any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace
      period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other
      remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded
      and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder
      shall have all rights as a Debenture holder until such time, if any, as the
      full
      payment under this Section shall have been received by it. 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, interest and liquidated damages (if any) on, this
      Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein

      execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
      of a

      so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of
      such loss, theft or destruction of such Debenture, and of the ownership hereof,
      and indemnity, if requested, all 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 conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal
      proceedings concerning the interpretations, 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
      any such court, 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 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.

    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
      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 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.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    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.
