      of Principal.
      On
      the
      Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash
      representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest.
The
      "Maturity
      Date"
      shall
      be May 31, 2010, as may be extended at the option of the Holder (i) in the
      event
      that, and for so long as, an Event of Default (as defined below) shall have
      occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant
      to
      this Section 1) or any event shall have occurred and be continuing on the
      Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 1) that with the
      passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an Event of Default.
      Other than as specifically permitted by this Debenture, the Company may not
      prepay or redeem any portion of the outstanding Principal without the prior
      written consent of the Holder.

      number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Interest
      hereunder shall be paid on the Maturity Date (or sooner as provided herein)

      Default has occurred, the full unpaid Principal amount of this Debenture,
      together with interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date

      payable in cash; provided however, the Holder may request (but shall have no

      Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies, the Holder shall have the right
      (but not the obligation) to act pursuant to the Security Agreement and use

      The
      Company at its option shall have the right to redeem (“Optional
      Redemption”)
      a
      portion or all amounts outstanding under this Debenture, provided that as of

      Closing Bid Price is less than $0.01, (ii) the Underlying Shares Registration
      Statement is effective, and (iii) no Event of Default has occurred. The Company

      equal
      to ten percent (10%) of the Principal amount being redeemed, and accrued
      Interest, (collectively referred to as the “Company

      provide thirty (30) calendar days advance written notice to the Holder of its
      intention to make a redemption (the “Redemption

      Notice, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Company Redemption Amount
      with respect to the Principal amount redeemed after giving effect to conversions
      effected during the three (3) Business Day period. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, the Company may redeem up to Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars
      ($800,000) of outstanding Principal and accrued interest within forty five
      (45)
      calendar days from the date hereof without a Redemption Premium.

    (b)  Forced
      Redemption.
      To the
      extent the Intercompany Note is repaid, the Holder will require that the Company
      redeem such portion of this Debenture equal to the amount of the Intercompany
      Note repaid, with such redemption to include a Redemption Premium. The Company
      will instruct the borrower pursuant to the Intercompany Note to remit any such
      repayment directly to the Holder. 

     

    (c)  SPAC
      Forced Redemption.
      If,
      prior to February 16, 2008, the SPAC has not been listed or quoted upon a
      national securities exchange or the OTCBB (the “Forced
      Redemption Date”),
      the
      Holder may require the Company to redeem the Debenture up to the full amount
      remaining in the operating accounts of Fortress America Acquisition Holdings,
      LLC on the Forced Redemption Date, with such redemption to include a Redemption
      Premium. 

     

    (4)  CONVERSION
      OF DEBENTURE.This
      Debenture shall be convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock, on
      the
      terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.

     

    (a)  Conversion
      Right.
      Subject
      to the provisions of Section 4(c), at any time or times on or after the Issuance
      Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding
      and
      unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable
      shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(b), at the Conversion Rate
      (as defined below). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
      conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be
      determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price
      (the "Conversion
      Rate").
      The
      Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any
      conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a
      share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of
      Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all
      transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the
      issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.
      

     

    (i)  "Conversion
      Amount"
      means
      the portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect
      to which this determination is being made.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (ii)  "Conversion
      Price"
      means,
      as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination,
      the
      lesser of (a) $0.004 (the “Fixed
      Conversion Price”),
      subject to adjustment as provided herein, or (b) ninety percent (90%) of
      the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price during the thirty (30) Trading Days
      immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the “Market
      Conversion Price”).

     

    (b)  Mechanics
      of Conversion.

     

    (i)  Optional
      Conversion.
      To
      convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a
      "Conversion
      Date"),
      the
      Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt
      on or
      prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice
      of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
      I
      (the
      "Conversion
      Notice")
      to the
      Company and (B) if required by Section 4(b)(iv), surrender this Debenture to
      a
      nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company
      (or
      an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with
      respect to this Debenture in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On
      or
      before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion
      Notice (the "Share
      Delivery Date"),
      the
      Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates
      of
      Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and provided that
      the
      Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC")
      Fast
      Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares
      of
      Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its
      designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
      Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the
      DTC
      Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address
      as
      specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of
      the
      Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
      Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive
      legends unless required pursuant to Section 2(g) of the Securities Purchase
      Agreement. If this Debenture is physically surrendered for conversion and the
      outstanding Principal of this Debenture is greater than the Principal portion
      of
      the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as
      practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt
      of
      this Debenture and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new
      Debenture representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person
      or
      Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a
      conversion of this Debenture shall be treated for all purposes as the record
      holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a
      Conversion Notice. In the event of a partial conversion of this Debenture
      pursuant hereto, the principal amount converted shall be deducted from the
      Installment Amounts relating to the Installment Dates as set forth in the
      Conversion Notice.

     

    (ii)  Company's
      Failure to Timely Convert.
      If
      within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile
      copy
      of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate
      to the Holder or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number
      of
      shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's
      conversion of any Conversion Amount (a "Conversion
      Failure"),
      and
      if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market
      transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
      by
      the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder
      anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"),
      then
      the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request
      and
      in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount
      equal
      to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other
      out of pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
      (the
"Buy-In
      Price"),
      at
      which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue
      such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to
      deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common
      Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any)
      of
      the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock,
      times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.

    (iii)  Book-Entry.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion
      of
      any portion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder
      shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company
      unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Debenture is being
      converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice
      (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance
      of
      this Debenture upon physical surrender of this Debenture. The Holder and the
      Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted
      and
      the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably
      satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical
      surrender of this Debenture upon conversion.

     

    (c)  Limitations
      on Conversions.

     

    (i)  Beneficial
      Ownership.
      The
      Company shall not effect any conversions of this Debenture and the Holder shall
      not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture or receive shares
      of
      Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent that after giving
      effect to such conversion or receipt of such interest payment, the Holder,
      together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined
      in
      accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
      thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock
      outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of
      shares as payment of interest. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report
      to the Company 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 Company 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 Section 4(a) and, any
      principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount
      hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Debenture. 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 Company. Other Holders
      shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (d)  Other
      Provisions.

     

    (i)  The
      Company 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 Company of a Holder's notice that such minimum
      number of Underlying Shares is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly
      reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply with such
      requirement.

     

    (ii)  All
      calculations under this Section 4 shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or
      whole share.

     

    (iii)  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 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 Company as to reservation of such shares set
      forth in this Debenture or in the Transaction Documents) be issuable (taking
      into account the adjustments and restrictions set forth herein) upon the
      conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment
      of
      interest hereunder. 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 Underlying Shares Registration
      Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act, registered
      for
      public sale in accordance with such Underlying Shares Registration
      Statement.

     

    (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 Company '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. 

     

    (5)  ADJUSTMENTS
      TO CONVERSION PRICE.

     

    (a)  Adjustment
      of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock.
      If the
      Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, issues or sells,
      or in
      accordance with this Section 5(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares
      of Common Stock, excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
      or
      sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Securities, for a
      consideration per share (the “New
      Issuance Price”)
      less
      than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
      issue or sale (such price the "Applicable
      Price")
      (the
      foregoing a "Dilutive
      Issuance"),
      then
      immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price then in effect
      shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes
      of
      determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 5(a), the following
      shall be applicable:

     

    
      
         

      

      
        8

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (i)  Issuance
      of Options.
      If the
      Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per
      share
      for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such
      Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities
      issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then
      such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
      issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such
      Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section, the "lowest
      price
      per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise
      of
      any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible
      Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option" shall be equal to the sum
      of
      the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the
      Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale
      of
      the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or
      exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.
      No
      further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
      issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon
      the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock
      upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible
      Securities.

     

    (ii)  Issuance
      of Convertible Securities.
      If the
      Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest
      price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such
      conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price,
      then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have
      been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of
      such
      Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
      Section, the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
      issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise" shall be equal to the
      sum
      of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the
      Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or
      sale
      of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise
      of
      such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall
      be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion
      or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue
      or
      sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
      which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant
      to
      other provisions of this Section, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price
      shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

     

    (iii)  Change
      in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.
      If the
      purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
      any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible
      Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible
      into
      or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the
      Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to
      the
      Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options
      or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional
      consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
      initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section, if the terms
      of
      any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance
      Date
      are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence,
      then
      such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon
      exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued
      as
      of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment
      would
      result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (iv)  Calculation
      of Consideration Received.
      In case
      any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities
      of
      the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
      consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
      will be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (x) the aggregate
      fair
      market value of such Options and other securities issued or sold in such
      integrated transaction, less (y) the fair market value of the securities other
      than such Option, issued or sold in such transaction and the other securities
      issued or sold in such integrated transaction will be deemed to have been issued
      or sold for the balance of the consideration received by the Company. If any
      Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed
      to
      have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will
      be
      deemed to be the gross amount raised by the Company; provided, however, that
      such gross amount is not greater than 110% of the net amount received by the
      Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are
      issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the
      consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value
      of
      such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities,
      in
      which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the
      Closing Bid Price of such securities on the date of receipt. If any Common
      Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the
      non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is
      the
      surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be
      the
      fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving
      entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible
      Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than
      cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder.
      If
      such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the
      occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation
      Event"),
      the
      fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business
      Days after the tenth (10th)
      day
      following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly
      selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser
      shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees
      and
      expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

     

    (v)  Record
      Date.
      If the
      Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of
      entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common
      Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase
      Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will
      be
      deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have
      been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of
      such
      other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription
      or
      purchase, as the case may be.

     

    (b)  Adjustment
      of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common
      Stock.
      If the
      Company, 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 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 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.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (c)  Purchase
      Rights.
      If at
      any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
      or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata
      to
      the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase
      Rights"),
      then
      the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
      Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
      acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
      upon complete conversion of this Debenture (without taking into account any
      limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Debenture) immediately
      before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale
      of
      such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which
      the
      record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or
      sale
      of such Purchase Rights.

     

    (d)  Other
      Events.
      If any
      event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 but
      not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation,
      the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights
      with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an
      appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights
      of
      the Holder under this Debenture; provided that no such adjustment will increase
      the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section
      5.

     

    (e)  Other
      Corporate Events.
      In
      addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to
      the
      consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares
      of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect
      to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a "Corporate
      Event"),
      the
      Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will
      thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Debenture, at
      the
      Holder's option, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon
      such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would
      have
      been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of
      Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate
      Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the
      convertibility of this Debenture) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock
      otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets
      received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the
      consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have
      been entitled to receive had this Debenture initially been issued with
      conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares
      of
      Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with
      the
      Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
      in a
      form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of
      this
      Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and
      shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or
      redemption of this Debenture.

    (f)  Whenever
      the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company
      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.

     

    (g)  In
      case
      of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the
      Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company or any
      subsidiary of the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company
      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.

     

    (6)  REISSUANCE
      OF THIS DEBENTURE.

     

    (a)  Transfer.
      If this
      Debenture is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Debenture to
      the
      Company, whereupon the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the transfer
      provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, forthwith issue and deliver
      upon the order of the Holder a new Debenture (in accordance with Section 5(d)),
      registered in the name of the registered transferee or assignee, representing
      the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less then
      the
      entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Debenture (in
      accordance with Section 5(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding
      Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance
      of
      this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of

      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

      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 shall violate 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.
