          --------------------------------------

     Each Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:

          (a)  Investment Purpose. Each Buyer is acquiring the Convertible
               ------------------
Debentures and, upon conversion of Convertible Debentures, the Buyer will
acquire the Conversion Shares then issuable, for its own account for investment
only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public
sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted
under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the representations
herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Conversion Shares at any
time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement
covering such Conversion Shares or an available exemption under the 1933 Act.

          (b)  Accredited Investor Status. Each Buyer is an "Accredited
               --------------------------                    ----------
Investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.
--------

          (c)  Reliance on Exemptions. Each Buyer understands that the
               ----------------------
Convertible Debentures are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and
accuracy of, and such Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in
order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of
such Buyer to acquire such securities.

          (d)  Information. Each Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its
               -----------
counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the
business, finances and operations of the Company and information he deemed
material to making an informed investment decision regarding his purchase of the

<PAGE>

Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Shares, which have been requested by
such Buyer. Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or
its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such
Buyer's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained
in Section 3 below. Each Buyer understands that its investment in the
Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk.
Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment,
family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer
to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks
of this investment. Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice,
as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with
respect to its acquisition of the Convertible Debentures and the Conversion
Shares.

          (e)  No Governmental Review. Each Buyer understands that no United
               ----------------------
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Convertible
Debentures or the Conversion Shares, or the fairness or suitability of the
investment in the Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares, nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares.

          (f)  Transfer or Resale. Each Buyer understands that except as
               ------------------
provided in the Investor Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Convertible
Debentures have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any
state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or
transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) such Buyer
shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally
acceptable form, to the effect that such securities to be sold, assigned or
transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from
such registration requirements; (ii) any sale of such securities made in
reliance on Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) ("Rule
                                                                        ----
144") may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if
---
Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in
which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to
be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such securities under the 1933 Act or
any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder. The Company reserves the right to place stop transfer
instructions against the shares and certificates for the Conversion Shares.

          (g)  Legends. Each Buyer understands that the certificates or other
               -------
instruments representing the Convertible Debentures and or the Conversion Shares
shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop
transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
          REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE

                                       4
<PAGE>

          STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR
          INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE
          OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
          EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE
          SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
          LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT
          REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE
          SECURITIES LAWS.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company within two (2)
business days shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the
Conversion Shares upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by
state securities laws, (i) in connection with a sale transaction, provided the
Conversion Shares are registered under the 1933 Act or (ii) in connection with a
sale transaction, after such holder provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public
sale, assignment or transfer of the Conversion Shares may be made without
registration under the 1933 Act.

          (h)  Authorization, Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and
               --------------------------
validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and is a
valid and binding agreement of such Buyer enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of
equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the
enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

          (i)  Receipt of Documents. Each Buyer and his or its counsel has
               --------------------
received and read in their entirety: (i) this Agreement and each representation,
warranty and covenant set forth herein, the Security Agreement, the Investor

Company regarding an investment in the Company; and each Buyer has relied on the
information contained therein and has not been furnished any other documents,
literature, memorandum or prospectus.

          (j)  Due Formation of Corporate and Other Buyers. If the Buyer(s) is a
               -------------------------------------------
corporation, trust, partnership or other entity that is not an individual
person, it has been formed and validly exists and has not been organized for the
specific purpose of purchasing the Convertible Debentures and is not prohibited
from doing so.

          (k)  No Legal Advice From the Company. Each Buyer acknowledges, that
               --------------------------------
it had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement with his or its own legal counsel and investment

                                       5

good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          (b)  Authorization, Enforcement, Compliance with Other Instruments.
               -------------------------------------------------------------
(i) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into

rights and remedies. The authorized officer of the Company executing this
Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Investor Registration Rights Agreement,
the Escrow Agreement, the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions and any
related agreements knows of no reason why the Company cannot file the
registration statement as required under the Investor Registration Rights
Agreement or perform any of the Company's other obligations under such

Company upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures, for interest owed
pursuant to the Convertible Debenture, and for any and all Liquidated Damages

                                       14

they act pursuant to the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company
shall not change its transfer agent without the express written consent of the

registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act, all such certificates
shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement.
The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer
Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions
to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares
prior to registration of such shares under the 1933 Act) will be given by the
Company to its transfer agent and that the Conversion Shares shall otherwise be
freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent
provided in this Agreement and the Investor Registration Rights Agreement.
Nothing in this Section 5 shall affect in any way the Buyer's obligations and
agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of
Conversion Shares. If the Buyer(s) provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, in form, scope and substance customary for opinions of counsel in
comparable transactions to the effect that registration of a resale by the
Buyer(s) of any of the Conversion Shares is not required under the 1933 Act, the
Company shall within two (2) business days instruct its transfer agent to issue
one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by
the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer by vitiating the intent and
purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company
acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this
Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5, that the Buyer(s)
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.

No.                                                                 US$
     ---                                                               --------

     This Secured Debenture (the "Debenture") is issued on September 30, 2004
                                  ---------
(the "Closing Date") by Roanoke Technology Corporation, a Florida corporation
      ------------
(the "Company"), to                             (together with its permitted
      -------       ----------------------------
successors and assigns, the "Holder") pursuant to exemptions from registration
                             ------
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                                   ARTICLE I.

     Section 1.01 Principal and Interest. For value received, the Company hereby
                  ----------------------
promises to pay to the order of the Holder on September ___, 2007 in lawful
money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds the
principal sum of ___________ U.S. Dollars (US$________), together with interest
on the unpaid principal of this Debenture at the rate of five percent (5%) per
year (computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual days elapsed) from
the date of this Debenture until paid. At the Company's option, the entire
principal amount and all accrued interest shall be either (a) paid to the Holder
on the third (3rd) year anniversary from the date hereof or (b) converted in
accordance with Section 1.02 herein provided, however, that in no event shall
the Holder be entitled to convert this Debenture for a number of shares of

<PAGE>

Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which, upon
giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99%
of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion.

     Section 1.02 Optional Conversion. The Holder is entitled, at its option, to
                  -------------------
convert, and sell on the same day, at any time and from time to time, until
payment in full of this Debenture, all or any part of the principal amount of
the Debenture, plus accrued interest, into shares (the "Conversion Shares") of
                                                        -----------------
the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), at the
                                                         ------------
price per share (the "Conversion Price") equal to the lesser of (a) an amount
                      ----------------
equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the closing bid price of the
Common Stock as listed on a Principal Market (as defined herein), as quoted by
Bloomberg L.P. (the "Closing Bid Price") as of the date hereof, or (b) an amount
                     -----------------
equal to eighty percent (80%) of the lowest volume weighted average price of the
Company's Common Stock, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP (the "VWAP"), for the five
                                                         ----
(5) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (as defined herein).
Subparagraphs (a) and (b) above are individually referred to as a "Conversion
                                                                   ----------
Price". As used herein, "Principal Market" shall mean The National Association
-----                    ----------------
of Securities Dealers Inc.'s Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, or American Stock Exchange. If the Common Stock is not traded on a
Principal Market, the Closing Bid Price and/or the VWAP shall mean, the reported
Closing Bid Price or the VWAP for the Common Stock, as furnished by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., for the applicable periods. No fraction
of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on
conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest
whole share. To convert this Debenture, the Holder hereof shall deliver written
notice thereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit "A" to this Debenture, with
appropriate insertions (the "Conversion Notice"), to the Company at its address
                             -----------------
as set forth herein. The date upon which the conversion shall be effective (the
"Conversion Date") shall be deemed to be the date set forth in the Conversion
 ---------------
Notice.

     Section 1.03 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall reserve and
                  ---------------------------
keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Debenture, such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect such
conversion, based upon the Conversion Price. If at any time the Company does not
have a sufficient number of Conversion Shares authorized and available, then the
Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within sixty
(60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock.

     Section 1.04 Right of Redemption. The Company at its option shall have the
                  -------------------
right to redeem, with three (3) business days advance written notice (the
"Redemption Notice"), a portion or all outstanding convertible debenture. The
 -----------------
redemption price shall be one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the amount
redeemed plus accrued interest.

     In the event the Company exercises a redemption of either all or a portion
the Convertible Debenture, the Holder shall receive a warrant to purchase fifty
thousand (50,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock for every One Hundred
Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$100,000) redeemed, pro rata (the "Warrant"). The
                                                            -------
Warrant shall be exercisable on a "cash basis" and have an exercise price of one

                                       2
<PAGE>

hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Closing Bid Price of the Company's Common
Stock on the Closing Date. The Warrant shall have "piggy-back" and demand
registration rights and shall survive for two (2) years from the Closing Date.

     Section 1.05 Registration Rights. The Company is obligated to register the
                  -------------------
resale of the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, between the Company
and the Holder of even date herewith (the "Investor Registration Rights
Agreement").

     Section 1.06 Interest Payments. The interest so payable will be paid at the
                  -----------------
time of maturity or conversion to the person in whose name this Debenture is
registered. At the time such interest is payable, the Company may elect to pay
the interest in cash (via wire transfer or certified funds) or in the form of
Common Stock. If paid in the form of Common Stock, the amount of stock to be
issued will be calculated as follows: the value of the stock shall be the
Closing Bid Price on: (i) the date the interest payment is due; or (ii) if the
interest payment is not made when due, the date the interest payment is made. A
number of shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the amount of interest
due shall be issued. No fractional shares will be issued; therefore, in the
event that the value of the Common Stock per share does not equal the total
interest due, the Company will pay the balance in cash.

     Section 1.07 Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Company will act as
                  --------------------------
paying agent and registrar. The Company may change any paying agent, registrar,
or Company-registrar by giving the Holder not less than ten (10) business days'
written notice of its election to do so, specifying the name, address, telephone
number and facsimile number of the paying agent or registrar. The Company may
act in any such capacity.

     Section 1.08 Secured Nature of Debenture. This Debenture is secured by all
                  ---------------------------
of the assets and property of the Company as set forth on Exhibit A to the
Security Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and the Holder (the
"Security Agreement"). As set forth in the Security Agreement, Holder's security
 ------------------
interest shall terminate upon the occurrence of an Expiration Event as defined
in the Security Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE II.

     Section 2.01 Amendments and Waiver of Default. The Debenture may not be
                  --------------------------------
amended. Notwithstanding the above, without the consent of the Holder, the
Debenture may be amended to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to
provide for assumption of the Company obligations to the Holder.

                                  ARTICLE III.

     Section 3.01 Events of Default. An Event of Default is defined as follows:

with the terms of the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions attached to the

issue freely tradeable Common Stock to the Holder within five (5) days of the
Company's receipt of the attached Notice of Conversion from Holder; (d) failure
by the Company for ten (10) days after notice to it to comply with any of its

<PAGE>

other agreements in the Debenture; (e) events of bankruptcy or insolvency; (f) a
breach by the Company of its obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement
or the Investor Registration Rights Agreement which is not cured by the Company
within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder may, in its sole discretion,
accelerate full repayment of all debentures outstanding and accrued interest
thereon or may, notwithstanding any limitations contained in this Debenture
and/or the Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof between the
Company and Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (the "Securities Purchase
                                                 -------------------
Agreement"), convert all debentures outstanding and accrued interest thereon
---------
into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.02 herein.

     Section 3.02 Failure to Issue Unrestricted Common Stock. As indicated in
                  ------------------------------------------
Article III Section 3.01, a breach by the Company of its obligations under the
Investor Registration Rights Agreement shall be deemed an Event of Default,
which if not cured within ten (10) days, shall entitle the Holder to accelerate
full repayment of all debentures outstanding and accrued interest thereon or,
notwithstanding any limitations contained in this Debenture and/or the
Securities Purchase Agreement, to convert all debentures outstanding and accrued
interest thereon into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.02 herein.
The Company acknowledges that failure to honor a Notice of Conversion shall
cause irreparable harm to the Holder.

     Section 4.01 Rights and Terms of Conversion. This Debenture, in whole or in
                  ------------------------------
part, may be converted at any time following the Closing Date, into shares of
Common Stock at a price equal to the Conversion Price as described in Section
1.02 above.

     Section 4.02 Re-issuance of Debenture. When the Holder elects to convert a
                  ------------------------
part of the Debenture, then the Company shall reissue a new Debenture in the
same form as this Debenture to reflect the new principal amount.

     Section 4.03 Termination of Conversion Rights. The Holder's right to
                  --------------------------------
convert the Debenture into the Common Stock in accordance with paragraph 4.01
shall terminate on the date that is the third (3rd) year anniversary from the

appropriate shares of Common Stock and amount of interest shall be issued to the
Holder.

effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, dividend or
combination as the case may be.
