      shall become at the Holder's election, immediately due and payable in cash, *provided
      however* ,
      the
      Holder may request (but shall have no obligation to request) payment of such
      amounts in Common Stock of the Obligor. If an Event of Default occurs and
      remains uncured, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to Fifteen Cents ($0.15).
      In addition to any other remedies, the Holder shall have the right (but not
      the

*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
      (5 th )
      Trading
      Day after a Conversion Date.





(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.







4


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 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.







5


(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 (5 th )
      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.





(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.







6


(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 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

      purchase plans.

      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

      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

      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

      principal amount of this Debenture, plus all interest and other amounts due
      and

      provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or share
      exchanges.





(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)

      such requirement.

      of
      the facts requiring such adjustment.

      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

      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

      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,
