<PAGE>

if any Event of Default has occurred, the full principal amount of this
Debenture, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to

         Section 3. Conversion.

         (a) Conversion at Option of Holder.

             (i) 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 5) (subject to the
limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(b) hereof). The number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals 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.

             (ii) 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 Pink
Sheet or on a Subsequent Market; (3) the Obligor has failed to timely satisfy
its conversion, then, at the option of the Holder, the Obligor, in lieu of
delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(i), 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.


                                       4
<PAGE>

             (iii) 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.

         (b) Certain Conversion Restrictions.

             (i) 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
4.99% 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 conversion at issue
would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% 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) 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.

         (c) Conversion Price and Adjustments to Conversion Price.

             (i) The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be
equal to the lesser of (a) $0.40 (the "Fixed Conversion Price") or (b) ninety
percent (90%) of the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock
during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date as
quoted by Bloomberg, LP (the "Market Conversion Price"). The Fixed Conversion
Price and the Market Conversion Price are collectively referred to as the
"Conversion Price." The Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the other
terms of this Debenture.

                                       5

             (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 Fixed
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 Fixed Conversion Price, then
the Fixed 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 the Fixed Conversion 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 Fixed Conversion Price pursuant to this
Section, if any such right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not have
been exercised, the Fixed 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 Fixed Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of
this Section after the issuance of such rights or warrants) had the adjustment
of the Fixed 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.


                                       6
<PAGE>

             (iv) If the Obligor or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, 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 Fixed 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 Fixed Conversion
Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Fixed
Conversion Price), then, at the sole option of the Holder, the Fixed 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 Fixed
Conversion Price at which this Debenture shall thereafter be convertible shall
be determined by multiplying the Fixed 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.

                                       7
<PAGE>

             (vii) The Obligor shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized Common Stock the full number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under 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 or whole share.

             (ix) Whenever the Conversion Price 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.


                                       8
<PAGE>

             (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
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) Other Provisions.

             (i) 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.

             (ii) 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.

             (iii) 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.

             (iv) 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.

             (v) 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) by the fifth (5th) 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). 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.

         Section 4. Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof must be
in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when
delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and
kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) trading day after deposit
with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly
addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses and facsimile numbers
for such communications shall be:
