        of a
        365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted
        by

        Register”).

       

      Right
        of Redemption.

        to (i)
        the principal amount being redeemed, plus (ii) a redemption premium
        (“Redemption
        Premium”)
        equal
        to twenty percent (20%) of the principal amount being redeemed, plus (iii)
        accrued interest, (collectively referred to as the “Redemption
        Amount”).
        The
        Obligor shall deliver to the Holder the Redemption Amount on the third
        (3rd)

      Notwithstanding
        the foregoing in the event that the Obligor has elected to redeem a portion
        of
        the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under this Debenture
        the
        Holder shall be permitted to convert all or any portion of this Debenture
        during
        such three business day period.

        or the

        following the expiration of the applicable respective time periods set forth
        in
        the Investor Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration
        Rights Agreement”)
        dated
        as of March 30, 2006 between the Obligor and the Holder;

       

      (viii) Other
        than a Blackout Period as defined in Section 3(e) of the Investor’s Registration
        Rights Agreement, if the effectiveness of the Underlying Shares Registration
        Statement lapses for any reason or the Holder shall not be permitted to resell

        (8)
        Trading Day periods shall be tolled for up to forty five (45) additional
        calendar days in the event that any required amendment of the Registration

          3

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (ix) The
        Obligor shall fail for any reason to deliver Common Stock certificates to
        a
        Holder prior to the seventh (7th)
        Trading
        Day after a Conversion Date or the Obligor shall provide notice to the Holder,
        including by way of public announcement, at any time, of its intention not
        to
        comply with requests for conversions of this Debenture in accordance with
        the
        terms hereof; 

       

      (x) The
        Obligor shall fail for any reason to deliver the payment in cash pursuant
        to a
        Buy-In (as defined herein) within five (5) business days after notice is
        delivered hereunder. 

       

      (b) During
        the time that any portion of this Debenture is outstanding, if any Event
        of
        Default has occurred and is continuing which is not cured within the time
        prescribed, the full principal amount of this Debenture, together with interest
        and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration 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 which
        Common Stock shall be valued at a price equal to the volume weighted average
        price of the Common Stock on the date due .
        In
        addition to any other remedies, the Holder shall have the right (but not
        the
        obligation) to convert this Debenture at any time after (x) an Event of Default
        or (y) the Maturity Date at the Conversion Price then in-effect. The Holder
        need
        not provide and the Obligor hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest
        or
        other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration
        of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder
        and
        all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration
        may be
        rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder.
        No such
        rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair
        any right consequent thereon. Upon an Event of Default, notwithstanding any
        other provision of this Debenture or any Transaction Document, the Holder
        shall
        have no obligation to comply with or adhere to any limitations, if any, on
        the
        conversion of this Debenture or the sale of the Underlying Shares other
        than limitations imposed by applicable federal and state securities
        laws.
        

       

      Section
        3. Conversion.

       

      (a) Conversion
        at Option of Holder.

       

      (i) This
        Debenture (including all principal and accrued and unpaid interest) 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.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (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 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(b),
        and the
        Holder is unable to sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock as a result of a
        halt in the trading of the Obligor’s Common Stock on the OTC or Subsequent
        Market, or the existence of an Event of Default under Section 2, 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 thereon divided by the Conversion Price,
        chosen
        by the Holder, and multiplied by the highest closing price of the stock from
        date of the Conversion Notice (as defined below) until 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.

       

      (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 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      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. 

       

      (ii)
        The
        Holder shall not convert in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of
        principal amount of this Debenture at the Market Conversion Price in any
        thirty
        (30) day period. Notwithstanding the forgoing, this conversion restriction
        shall
        not apply upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or if waived in writing
        by
        the Company. 

       

      (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) One Dollar and Fifty Cents ($1.50) (the “Fixed
        Conversion Price”)
        or (b)
        ninety five percent (95%) 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;
        provided,
        that,
        in no
        event shall the Conversion Price be lower than $0.05 (such floor price to
        be
        adjusted in the same manner that the Fixed Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant
        to Section 3(c)(ii)).

       

      (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.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          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 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.

       

       

      (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”),
        other
        than Exempted Issuances,
        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.

       

      (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 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          7

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      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.

       

      (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 shall
        call and hold a special meeting of its shareholders within ninety (90) days
        of
        such occurrence, for the purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized.
        The Obligor's management shall recommend to the shareholders to vote in favor
        of
        increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized.

       

      (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 ten (10) calendar
        days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified,
        a
        notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose
        of
        such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record
        is
        not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of
        record
        to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants
        are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
        consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become
        effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders
        of the
        Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the
        Common
        Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
        reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange,
        provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in
        the
        mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required
        to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture
        during the 20-day calendar period commencing the date of such notice to the
        effective date of the event triggering such notice.

       

      (xi) Upon
        the
        consummation of any Change of Control Transaction (other than pursuant to
        clause
        (b) of the definition thereof) of the Obligor or any subsidiary of the Obligor,
        a Holder shall have the right to exercise any rights under Section
        2(b),
        if the
        Obligor fails, at the option of the Holder (A) to permit such Holder to convert
        the aggregate amount of this Debenture then outstanding into the shares of
        stock
        and other securities, cash and property receivable 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 (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation of the Obligor
        in
        which the Obligor is not the surviving entity, 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 (B), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of
        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 or
        shareholder approval of the issuance 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

        Event
        of Default pursuant to Section

        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

        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.

        Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
        of the
        State of New Jersey, without giving effect to conflicts of laws thereof.
        Each of
        the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the Superior Courts of the State
        of
        New Jersey sitting in Hudson County, New Jersey and the U.S. District Court
        for the District of New Jersey sitting in Newark, New Jersey in connection
        with

        to the
        bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. 

       

      Section
        11. If
        the
        Obligor fails to strictly comply with the terms of this Debenture, then the

        remedies and obligations, (ii) collecting any sums which become due to the
        Holder, (iii) defending or prosecuting any proceeding or any counterclaim

      Section
        12. Any
        waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Debenture shall
        not
        operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision
        or of any breach of any other provision of this Debenture. The failure of
        the
        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

        right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other
        term
        of this Debenture. Any waiver must be in writing.

       

      Section
        13. If

        provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance
        of

        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 Obligor 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 Obligor 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 Obligor
        (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.

       

      Section
        14. Whenever
        any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than
        a
        Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business
        Day.

       

      Section
        15. THE
        PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT ANY
        OF
        THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON
        OR
        ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
        DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER
        VERBAL
