due and payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on September 29, 2006 and shall
continue on the first day of each calendar month thereafter that any amounts
under this Debenture are due and payable (each, an "Interest Payment Date").

plus a redemption premium equal to 20% of each such installment or the highest
rate permitted by applicable law. The installments of principal shall be due and

interest and charges and expenses owing under or in connection with this
Debenture in such order as the Holder elects, except that payments shall be

but unpaid interest, upon the closing of a Funding Event (as defined in Section
4 hereof) or pursuant to an Event of Default (as defined in Section 2 hereof).

any of the foregoing; or any corporate or other action is taken by the Obligor

            (iv) The Obligor or any subsidiary of the Obligor shall default in
any of its obligations under any other Debenture or any mortgage, credit

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

      Section 3. Conversion

      (a) (i) Conversion at Option of Holder.

            (A) 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, after the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 4) (subject to the
limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(a)(ii) hereof). The number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals the sum of
(i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of this
Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section
3(c)(i)). The Obligor shall deliver Common Stock certificates to the Holder
prior to the Fifth (5th) Trading Day after a Conversion Date.



                                       4
<PAGE>

            (B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on
any Conversion Date: (1) the number of shares of Common Stock at the time
authorized, unissued and unreserved for all purposes, or held as treasury stock,
is insufficient to pay principal and interest hereunder in shares of Common
Stock; (2) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted for trading on the OTC or on
a Subsequent Market; (3) the Obligor has failed to timely satisfy its
conversion; or (4) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would result in a
violation of Section 3(a)(ii), then, at the option of the Holder, the Obligor,
in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(i)(A),
shall deliver, within three (3) Trading Days of each applicable Conversion Date,
an amount in cash equal to the product of the outstanding principal amount to be
converted plus any interest due therein divided by the Conversion Price and
multiplied by the highest closing price of the stock from date of the conversion
notice till the date that such cash payment is made.

      Further, if the Obligor shall not have delivered any cash due in respect
of conversion of this Debenture or as payment of interest thereon by the fifth
(5th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder may, by notice to the
Obligor, require the Obligor to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section
3(c), except that for such purpose the Conversion Price applicable thereto shall
be the lesser of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date and the Conversion
Price on the date of such Holder demand. Any such shares will be subject to the
provisions of this Section.

            (C) The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Obligor
a completed notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a "Conversion
Notice"). The date on which a Conversion Notice is delivered is the "Conversion
Date." Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount outstanding
under this Debenture, the Holder is not required to physically surrender this
Debenture to the Obligor in order to effect conversions. Conversions hereunder
shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon in an amount equal to the
applicable conversion. The Holder and the Obligor shall maintain records showing
the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. In the event of
any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error.

            (ii) Certain Conversion Restrictions.

                  (A) A Holder may not convert this Debenture or receive shares
of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent such conversion
or receipt of such interest payment would result in the Holder, together with
any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in
excess of 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock,
including shares issuable upon conversion of, and payment of interest on, this
Debenture held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the
Holder will not be obligated to report to the Obligor the number of shares of
Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the


                                       5
<PAGE>

conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in
excess of 4.9% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to
any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate
thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether
the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion
hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation
contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the
principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be the responsibility
and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice
for a principal amount of this Debenture that, without regard to any other
shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in
the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Obligor shall
notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum
principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance
with the periods described in Section 3(a)(i)(A) and, at the option of the
Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of
the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess
principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by
a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than
65 days prior notice to the Obligor. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any
such waiver.

      (b) (i) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual
damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2 herein for the
Obligor 's failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock
upon conversion 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,
in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. 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.

            (ii) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the
Obligor fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant
to Section 3(a)(i)(A) by the fifth Trading Day after the Conversion Date, and if
after such fifth (5th) Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
such Holder of the Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon
such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Obligor 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 market
price of the Common Stock at the time of the sale giving rise to such purchase
obligation and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue a Debenture in
the 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 Obligor timely complied with its delivery requirements under
Section 3(a)(i)(A). 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 market price of the
Underlying Shares on the date of conversion was a total of $10,000 under clause
(A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Obligor shall be required to pay
the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Obligor written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.



                                       6
<PAGE>

      (c) (i) The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") in effect on any
Conversion Date shall be equal to Thirty Cents ($0.30), which may be adjusted
pursuant to the other terms of this Debenture.

            (ii) If the Obligor, at any time while this Debenture is
outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity
equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine
(including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of
the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Obligor, 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
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding 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.

            (iii) If the Obligor, at any time while this Debenture is
outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common
Stock (and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares
of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Closing Bid Price at the
record date mentioned below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants (plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock
offered for subscription or purchase), and of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of the Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any)
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants, plus the number
of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so
offered would purchase at such Closing Bid Price. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such rights, options or warrants. However, upon the expiration of any
such right, option or warrant to purchase shares of the Common Stock the
issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to
this Section, if any such right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not
have been exercised, the Conversion Price shall immediately upon such expiration
be recomputed and effective immediately upon such expiration be increased to the
price which it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the
Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of this Section after the
issuance of such rights or warrants) had the adjustment of the Conversion Price
made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the
basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of the
Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights, options or
warrants actually exercised.

            (iv) If the Obligor or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, with
respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), at any time while this
Debenture is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or rights,
warrants, options or other securities or debt that are convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") entitling
any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the


                                       7
<PAGE>

Conversion Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent
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 a price per
share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to
have occurred for less than the Conversion Price), then, at the sole option of
the Holder, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to mirror the conversion,
exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
(including any reset provisions thereof) at issue. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Obligor
shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than one (1) business day following
the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this
Section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable
reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms. No
adjustment under this Section shall be made as a result of issuances and
exercises of options to purchase shares of Common Stock issued for compensatory
purposes pursuant to any of the Obligor's stock option or stock purchase plans.

            (v) If the Obligor, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding,
shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder)
evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price at which
this Debenture shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by
multiplying the 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 Closing Bid Price determined as
of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such
Closing Bid Price 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.

            (vi) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or any
compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into
other securities, cash or property, the Holder shall have the right thereafter
to, at its option, (A) convert the then outstanding principal amount, together
with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder
in respect of this Debenture into the shares of stock and other securities, cash
and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of the Common Stock
following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holder of this
Debenture shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of
securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of the Obligor
into which the then outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued but
unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder in respect of this
Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification
or share exchange would have been entitled, or (B) require the Obligor to prepay
the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, plus all interest and other
amounts due and payable thereon. The entire prepayment price shall be paid in
cash. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or
share exchanges.



                                       8
<PAGE>

            (vii) The Obligor shall maintain a share reserve of not less than
150% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture;
and within three (3) Business Days following the receipt by the Obligor of a
Holder's notice that such minimum number of Underlying Shares is not so
reserved, the Obligor shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock to comply with such requirement.

            (viii) All calculations under this Section 3 shall be rounded up to
the nearest $0.001 of a share.

            (ix) Whenever the Conversion is adjusted pursuant to Section 3
hereof, the Obligor shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the
Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of
the facts requiring such adjustment.

            (x) If (A) the Obligor shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Obligor shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the
Obligor 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 Obligor
shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock,
any consolidation or merger to which the Obligor is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Obligor, of any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; or (E) the Obligor shall authorize the voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Obligor; then, in each case, the Obligor 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 address as it shall appear upon the
stock books of the Obligor, at least twenty (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 calendar period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date
of the event triggering such notice.

            (xi) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Obligor or
any subsidiary of the Obligor with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the
Obligor or any subsidiary of the Obligor of more than one-half of the assets of
the Obligor in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder shall have the
right to (A) exercise any rights under Section 2(b), (B) convert the aggregate

<PAGE>

amount of this Debenture then outstanding into the shares of stock and other
securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall
be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount
of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into which such
aggregate principal amount of this Debenture could have been converted
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been
entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving
entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Debenture with a principal amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Debenture then held by such
Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon,
which such newly issued convertible Debenture shall have terms identical
(including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Debenture, and shall
be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Debenture
set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Debentures were
issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly
issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible Debentures shall be
based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common
Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The
terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as
to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and
property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following
such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.

      (d) The Obligor 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,
not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any
additional requirements of the Obligor as to reservation of such shares set
forth in this Debenture) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and
restrictions of Sections 2(b) and 3(c)) upon the conversion of the outstanding
principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The
Obligor 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 Underlying Shares Registration Statement has been
declared effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in
accordance with such Underlying Shares Registration Statement.

      (e) Upon a conversion hereunder the Obligor 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 Closing Bid Price at such time. If the Obligor 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.

      (f) The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on
conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder thereof
for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the
issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Obligor 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 Debenture so converted and the Obligor
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 Obligor
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Obligor that such tax has been paid.
