        shall be paid, on December 31, 2007 and quarterly thereafter until Maturity,
        or

      By
        acceptance and purchase of this
        Debenture, the registered holder hereof agrees with the Company that the
        Debenture shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

      

      1.           Authorization
        of Debentures.  The Company has authorized the issue and sale of
        its 10% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due December 31, 2008
        (the
        "Debenture," such term includes any debentures which may be issued in exchange
        or in replacement thereof) in the aggregate principal amount of not more
        than
        U.S. $1,500,000.

      

      2.           Transfer
        or Exchange.  Prior to due presentation to the Company for
        transfer of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the Company may
        treat
        the person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the Company’s
        Debenture Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment
        as
        herein provided and for all other purposes.

      

      3.           Prepayment;

        = the Principal Amount
        of the Debenture, and

       *Conversion
        Price =
        $1.00

        of Debentures.

       

      4.1           Conversion
        of the Debenture.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          1.

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (a)

              	
                Right
                  to Convert.  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4.1(b),
                  below, the record holder of this Debenture shall be entitled, on
                  or after
                  the Date of Original Issuance, at the option of the Holder, to
                  convert
                  this Debenture, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable
                  shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the rate of $1.00 per
                  share.

              

      

      

      4.2           Exercise
        of Conversion Privilege. In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the
        Holder shall surrender such Debenture, together with the Notice of Conversion
        annexed hereto as Exhibit 1 appropriately endorsed to the Company at its
        principal office, accompanied by written notice to the Company (a) stating
        that
        the Holder elects to convert the Debenture or a portion thereof, and if a
        portion, the amount of such portion in multiples of $500 in principal amount,
        and (b) setting forth the name or names (with address) in which the certificate
        or certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
        shall
        be issued. Provided the Debenture is received properly endorsed promptly
        by the
        Company, the date of conversion of such Debenture shall be deemed to be the
        date
        of receipt of Notice of Conversion, even if the Company's stock transfer
        books
        are at that time closed, and the converting Holder shall be deemed to have
        become, on the date of conversion, the record holder of the shares of Common
        Stock deliverable upon such conversion.  If the Debenture is not
        received, properly endorsed by the fifth business day following the date
        the
        Company receives Notice of Conversion, the date of conversion shall be deemed
        to
        be the date the Debenture is received, provided that such later receipt will
        not
        lower the Conversion Price stated in the Notice of Conversion.

      

      As
        soon as reasonably possible after
        the date of conversion, the Company shall issue and deliver to such converting
        Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
        due on such conversion. No adjustments in respect of interest or cash dividends
        shall be made upon the conversion of any Debenture or Debentures.

      

      Upon
        conversion of the Debenture in
        part, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the
        expense of the Company, a new Debenture, in aggregate principal amount equal
        to
        the unconverted portion of such Debenture. Such new Debenture shall have
        the
        same terms and provisions other than the principal amount as the Debenture
        or
        Debentures surrendered for conversion.

      

      4.3           Duration
        of Conversion Privilege.  The right to subscribe for and purchase
        shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion privilege granted herein
        shall
        commence on the Original Issue Date and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York
        time
        on December 31, 2008.

      

      4.4           Stock
        Fully Paid; Restricted.  The Company covenants and agrees
        that:

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (a)

              	
                all
                  shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the conversion
                  privilege
                  granted herein will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms
                  hereof, be
                  fully paid, non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens and
                  charges
                  (except for taxes, if any, upon the income of the Holder) with
                  respect to
                  the issue thereof, and that the issuance thereof shall not give
                  rise to
                  any preemptive rights on the part of the
                  stockholders;

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (b)

              	
                the
                  failure of the Company to issue shares upon the conversion of the
                  Debenture will cause the holder immediate irreparable
                  harm.

              

      

      

      4.5   Antidilution
        Provisions.  The following provisions apply to the
        Debenture:

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (a)

              	
                In
                  case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution
                  in shares
                  of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
                  Stock
                  into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine
                  its
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares
                  of
                  Common Stock, (iv) make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares
                  of
                  its capital stock other than Common Stock, or (v) issue by
                  reclassification of its Common Stock other securities of the Company,
                  the
                  conversion privilege of the Debenture and the Conversion Price
                  then in
                  effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so
                  that

              

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2.

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                the
                  Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares
                  of
                  Common Stock and other securities of the Company which it would
                  have owned
                  or would have been entitled to receive after the happening of any
                  of the
                  events described above, had the Debenture been converted immediately
                  prior
                  to the happening of such event or any record date with respect
                  thereto.
                  Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become
                  effective
                  immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive
                  to the
                  record date, if any, for such
                  event.

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                 (b)

              	
                When
                  the number of shares of Common Stock or the Conversion Price is
                  adjusted
                  as herein provided, the Company shall cause to be promptly mailed
                  to the
                  Holder by first class mail, postage prepaid, notice of such adjustment
                  or
                  adjustments and a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants
                  selected by the Board of Directors of the Company (who may be the
                  regular
                  accountants employed by the Company) setting forth the number of
                  shares of
                  Common Stock and the Conversion Price after such adjustment, a
                  brief
                  statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation
                  by
                  which such adjustment was made.

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (c)

              	
                For
                  the purpose of this Section 4.5, the term "Common Stock" shall
                  mean (A)
                  the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Company
                  at the
                  date of this Debenture or (B) any other class of stock resulting
                  from
                  successive changes or reclassification of such Common Stock consisting
                  solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value,
                  or from
                  no par value to par value. In the event that at any time, as a
                  result of
                  an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.5, the Holder shall
                  become
                  entitled to receive any securities upon conversion of the Company
                  other
                  than shares of Common Stock thereafter the number of such other
                  securities
                  and the Conversion Price of such securities shall be subject to adjustment
                  from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent
                  as
                  practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock
                  contained
                  in this Section 4.5.

              

      

      

      4.6           No
        Adjustment for Dividends.  Except as provided in Section 4.5, no
        adjustment in respect to any dividends paid shall be made during the term
        of the
        Debenture or upon the exercise of the Debenture.

      

      4.7           Preservation
        of Purchase Rights Upon Reclassification Consolidation. etc. In the case of
        any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into another
        corporation or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation
        of
        all or substantially all of the property, assets or business of the Company,
        the
        Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be,
        shall
        provide that the Holder shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the
        Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action to purchase upon
        conversion of the Debenture the kind and amount of shares and other securities
        and property which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive
        after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had
        the
        Debenture been converted immediately prior to such action. Such agreement
        shall
        provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
        practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The provisions
        of
        this Section 4.7 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers,
        sales or conveyances.

      

      4.8           Par
        Value of Common Stock. Before taking any action which would cause an
        adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the
        shares
        of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture, the Company will
        take
        any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary
        in
        order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
        non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion
        Price.

      

      4.9
        a           Statement
        on Debenture Certificates.  Irrespective of any adjustments in the
        Conversion Price or the number of securities convertible, this Debenture
        certificate or any certificates hereafter issued may continue to express
        the
        same price and number of securities as are stated in this Debenture certificate.
        However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion (which shall
        be
        conclusive) make any change in the form of the Debenture certificate that
        it may
        deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof; and any
        Debenture certificate thereafter issued, whether upon registration or transfer
        of, or in exchange or substitution for, an outstanding Debenture certificate,
        may be in the form so changed.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          3.

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

                                   
         4.9b       Collateral. A first
        position lien (UCC filing ) will be filed at closing on all equipment listed
        on
        Exhibit 1 of this agreement.

      

      5.           Restrictions
        on Transferability.  The Debenture and the Common Stock issuable
        upon conversion of the Debenture shall not be transferred, hypothecated or
        assigned before satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Section
        5,
        which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of
        the
        Securities Act with respect to the Transfer of any Debenture or any Common
        Stock
        issuable upon conversion of the Debenture.  Holder, by acceptance of
        this Debenture, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section
        5.

      

      5.1           Restrictive
        Legend.  The Holder by accepting this Debenture and any Common
        Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture agrees that this Debenture
        and
        the Common Stock issuable upon conversion hereof may not be assigned or
        otherwise transferred unless and until (i) the Company has received an opinion
        of counsel for the Holder that such securities may be sold pursuant to an
        exemption from registration under the Securities Act or (ii) a registration
        statement relating to such securities has been filed by the Company and declared
        effective by the Commission.

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (a)

              	
                Each
                  certificate for Common Stock issuable hereunder shall bear a legend
                  substantially worded as follows unless such securities have been
                  sold
                  pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
                  Act:

              

      

      “The
        securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under
        the
        Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any state securities
        laws.  The securities may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned,
        offered, transferred or otherwise distributed for value except (i) pursuant
        to
        an effective registration statement under the Act or any state securities
        laws
        or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from registration or prospectus delivery
        requirements under the Act or any state securities laws in respect of which
        the
        Company has received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to
        such
        effect.”

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                    
                  (b)

              	
                Except
                  as otherwise provided in this Sec­tion 5, the Debenture shall be
                  stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the
                  following form:

              

      

      

      “This
        Debenture and the securities represented hereby have not been regis­tered
        under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws
        and
        may not be transferred in violation of such Act, the rules and regulations
        thereunder or any state securities laws or the provisions of this
        Debenture.”

      

      5.2           Notice
        of Proposed Transfers.  Prior to any Transfer or attempted
        Transfer of any Debenture or any shares of Restricted Common Stock, the Holder
        shall give five (5) days’ prior written notice (a “Transfer Notice”) to the
        Company of Holder’s intention to effect such Transfer, describing the manner and
        circumstances of the proposed Transfer, and obtain from counsel to Holder
        an
        opinion that the proposed Transfer of such Debenture or such Restricted Common
        Stock may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or state
        securities laws.  After the Company’s receipt of the Transfer Notice
        and opinion, such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to Transfer such Debenture
        or such Restricted Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Transfer
        Notice.  Each certificate, if any, evidencing such shares of
        Restricted Common Stock issued upon such Transfer and the Debenture issued
        upon
        such Transfer shall bear the restrictive legends set forth in Section 5.1,
        unless in the opinion of such counsel such legend is not required in order
        to
        ensure compliance with the Securities Act.

      

      5.3           Termination
        of Restrictions.  Notwithstand­ing the foregoing provisions of
        Section 5, the restrictions imposed by this Section upon the transferability
        of
        the Debentures, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion and the Restricted
        Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Debenture)
        and
        the legend requirements of Section 5.1 shall terminate as to any particular
        Debenture or Restricted Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the
        conversion of the Debenture) (i) when and so long as such security shall
        have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and applicable
        state
        securities laws and disposed of pursuant thereto or (ii) when the Company
        shall have received an opinion of counsel that such shares may be transferred
        with­out registration thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state
        securities laws.  Whenever the restrictions imposed by Section 5 shall
        terminate as to this Debenture, as hereinabove provided, the Holder hereof
        shall
        be entitled to receive from the Company upon written request of the Holder,
        at
        the expense of the Company, a new Debenture

      
        
          
          

        

        
          4.

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      bearing
        the following legend in place of the restrictive legend set forth
        hereon:

      

      “THE
        RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABIL­ITY OF THE WITHIN DEBENTURE CONTAINED IN
        SECTION 5 HEREOF TERMINATED ON ___________, 20__, AND ARE OF NO FURTHER FORCE
        AND EFFECT.”

      

      All
        Debentures issued upon registration of transfer, division or combination
        of, or
        in substitution for, any Debenture or entitled to bear such legend shall
        have a
        similar legend endorsed thereon.  Whenever the restrictions imposed by
        this Section shall terminate as to any share of Restricted Common Stock,
        as
        hereinabove provided, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from
        the
        Company, at the Company’s expense, a new certificate representing such Common
        Stock not bearing the restrictive legends set forth in Section 5.1.

      

      5.4           Listing
        on Securities Exchange.  If the Company shall list any shares of
        Common Stock on any securities exchange, it will, at its expense, list thereon,
        maintain and, when necessary, increase such listing of, all shares of Common
        Stock issued or, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities
        exchange rules, issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture so long as
        any
        shares of Common Stock shall be so listed during the Exercise
        Period.

      6.

      6.1           Abandonment
        or Delay.  If, at any time after giving written notice of its
        intention to register any equity securities and prior to the effective date
        of
        the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the
        Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration
        of such equity securities, the Company may, at its election, give written
        notice
        of such determination to all Holders and (i) in the case of a determination
        not
        to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Common Stock
        issuable upon conversion of the Debenture in connection with such abandoned
        registration, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay such registration
        of its equity securities, shall be permitted to delay the registration of
        such
        Common Stock for the same period as the delay in registering such other equity
        securities.

      

      6.2           Holder's
        Right to Withdraw.  Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw
        its request for inclusion of its Common Stock in any registration statement
        pursuant to this Section 6 by giving written notice to the Company of its
        request to withdraw; provided, however, that (i) such request must be made
        in
        writing prior to the earlier of the execution of the underwriting agreement
        or
        the execution of the custody agreement with respect to such registration,
        and
        (ii) such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal,
        a
        Holder shall no longer have any right to include such Common Stock in the
        registration as to which such withdrawal was made.

      

      6.3           Cutbacks.  If
        the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall inform the Company
        by letter of its belief that the number of shares of Common Stock requested
        to
        be included in a registration under this Section 6 would materially adversely
        affect such offering, then the Company will include in such registration,
        first
        the securities proposed by the Company to be sold for its own account and,
        second the Common Stock issuable upon conversion and all other securities
        of the
        Company to be included in such registration to the extent of the number and
        type, if any, which the Company is so advised can be sold in (or during the
        time
        of) such offering, pro rata among the Holders participating in such offering
        in
        accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such
        Holder.

      

      7.           Fractional
        Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection
        with any subscription hereunder but in lieu of such fractional shares, the
        Company shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product
        of the
        applicable fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price then in
        effect.

      

      8.           Subordination.
        Any right of the Holder to payment of principal or interest from the Company
        shall be subordinated to the claims and rights of the holders of the Senior
        Debt
        (“Senior Debt Holders”). "Senior Debt" means all Indebtedness of the Company
        other than the Debentures, whether outstanding on the date of execution of
        this
        Debenture or thereafter created, incurred or assumed, except (x) any such
        Indebtedness that by the terms of the instrument or instruments by which
        such
        Indebtedness was created, assumed or incurred expressly provides that it
        (i) is
        junior in right of payment to the Debentures or (ii) ranks pari passu in
        right of payment with the Debentures and (y) any amendments, modifications
        or
        supplements to, or any renewals, extensions, deferrals, refinancing and
        refunding of, any of the foregoing.  Any cash payment of principal or
        interest to the Holder shall be collected, enforced or received by the Holder
        as
        trustee for the Senior Debt Holders and paid over to the Senior Debt Holders.
        The Holder

      
        
          
          

        

        
          5.

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      agrees
        that in the event of any payment of principal or interest by the Company
        to the
        Holder by reason of any receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding,
        or
        proceeding for reorganization or readjustment of the Company or its properties,
        or otherwise, then, in any such event, the Senior Debt Holders shall be
        preferred in the payment of their claims over the claim of the Holder to
        payment
        of principal or interest against the Company or its properties, and the claims
        of the Senior Debt Holders shall be first paid and satisfied in full before
        any
        payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property,
        shall be made to the Holder. Provided, however, that this Section 8 shall
        not
        apply to any payment of principal or interest made to the Holder while the
        Company is solvent and not in default with respect to its Senior
        Debt.

      

      9.           Replacement
        of Debenture Certificate. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the
        Company of the certificate loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the
        Debenture certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction,
        upon delivery of a bond of indemnity satisfactory to the Company, or, in
        the
        case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Debenture
        certificate, the Company will issue a new Debenture certificate, of like
        tenor,
        in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Debenture
        certificate.

      

      10.           Covenants
        of the Company.  So long as any of the Debentures remain
        outstanding, the Company shall:

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (a)

              	
                At
                  all times keep reserved the total number of shares of Common Stock
                  necessary for the conversion of all of the then outstanding Debentures
                  at
                  the then current Conversion Rate;

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (b)

              	
                Not
                  pay any dividends in cash and/or property or other assets of the
                  Company
                  in respect of its Common Stock or
                  otherwise.

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (c)

              	
                Not
                  issue any debentures of the Company other than the Debentures unless
                  the
                  rights of the holders of such debentures are subordinated to the
                  Debentures or paripassu therewith, in which event the terms
                  of the subordination provision shall be similar to the terms set
                  forth in
                  Section 9 of this Debenture;

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                 (d)

              	
                Not
                  enter into a loan secured by the property and/or assets of the
                  Company or
                  any of its subsidiaries with (i) any director, officer or 5% stockholder
                  of the Company, (ii) any entity in which a director, officer or
                  5%
                  stockholder has an interest as an officer, director, partner, beneficiary
                  of a trust or is a 5% or more equity holder of such entity, or
                  (iii) any
                  parent, spouse, child or grandchild of an officer, director or
                  5%
                  stockholder of the Company upon terms no less favorable to the
                  Company
                  than those which could be obtained from an “arms-length” lender;
                  and

              

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (e)

              	
                Not
                  redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of the common
                  or
                  preferred stock of the Company.

              

      

      

      11.           Default.  If
        any of the following events (herein called “Events of Default”) shall
        occur:

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (a)

              	
                if
                  the Company shall default in the payment or prepayment of any part
                  of the
                  principal of any of the Debentures after the same shall become
                  due and
                  payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment
                  or by
                  acceleration or otherwise, and such default shall continue for
                  more than
                  30 days; or

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (b)

              	
                if
                  the Company shall default in the payment of any installment of
                  interest on
                  any of the Debentures for more than 30 days after the same shall
                  become
                  due and payable; or

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (c)

              	
                if
                  the Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors
                  or shall
                  be unable to pay its debts as they become due;
                  or

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (d)

              	
                if
                  the Company shall dissolve; terminate its existence; become insolvent
                  on a
                  balance sheet basis; commence a voluntary case under the federal
                  bankruptcy laws or under any other federal or state law relating
                  to
                  insolvency or debtor's relief; permit the entry of a decree or
                  order for

                  covered by insurance in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
                  ($100,000)
                  in the aggregate shall be entered or filed against the Company

      then
        and
        in any such event the Holder of this Debenture shall have the option (unless
        the
        default shall have theretofore been cured) by written notice to the Company
        to
        declare the Debenture to be due and payable, whereupon the Debenture shall
        forthwith mature and become due and payable, at the applicable prepayment
        price
        on the date of such notice, without presentment, demand, protest or further
        notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained
        in this Debenture to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence of
        an
        Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of this Debenture
        in writing setting out the nature of the default in reasonable
        detail.

      

      12.           Remedies
        on Default; Notice to Other Holders. In case any one or more of the Events
        of Default shall occur, the Holder may proceed to protect and enforce his
        or her
        rights by a suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding,
        whether, to the extent permitted by law, for the specific performance of
        any
        agreement of the Company contained herein or in aid of the exercise of any
        power
        granted hereby. If any Holder of one or more of the Debentures shall declare
        the
        same due and payable or take any other action against the Company in respect
        of
        an Event of Default, the Company will forthwith give written notice to the
        Holder of this Debenture, specifying such action and the nature of the default
        alleged.

      

      13.           Amendments.
        With the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount
        of the Debentures at the time outstanding, the Company, when authorized by
        a
        resolution of its Board of Directors, may enter into a supplementary agreement
        for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
        eliminating any of the provisions of this Debenture or of any supplemental
        agreement or modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the holders
        of Debentures or Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Debentures, and
        of
        the Company, provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall
        (a)
        extend the fixed maturity of any Debenture, or reduce the principal amount
        thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon,
        or alter or impair the right to convert the same into Common Stock at the
        rates
        and upon the terms provided in this Debenture, without the consent of the
        Holder
        of each of the Debentures so affected, or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage
        of
        Debentures, the Holders of which are required to consent to any supplemental
        agreement, without the consent of the Holders of all Debentures then
        outstanding.

      

      14.           Changes,
        Waivers. etc.  Neither this Debenture nor any provisions hereof
        may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by a statement
        in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver,
        discharge or termination is sought, except to the extent provided in Section
        13
        of this Debenture.

      

      16.           Entire
        Agreement. This Debenture embodies the entire agreement and understanding
        between the Holder and the Company and supersedes all prior agreements and
        understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

                (a)   It
                  is the intention of the parties that the laws of the State of Florida
                  shall govern the validity of this Debenture, the construction of
                  its terms
                  and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the
                  parties.

                In
                  the case of any dispute, question, controversy or claim arising
                  among the
                  parties hereto which shall arise out of or in connection with this
                  Debenture, the same shall be submitted to arbitration before a
                  panel of
                  three arbitrators in Tampa, Florida, in accordance with the rules
                  of the
                  American Arbitration Association.  One arbitrator shall be
                  appointed by the party or parties bringing the claims ("Claimant")
                  and one
                  arbitrator shall be appointed by the party or parties defending
                  the claim
                  ("Respondent").  The arbitrators selected by such parties shall
                  be selected within thirty (30) days after notification by the Claimant
                  to
                  the Respondent that it has determined to submit such dispute, question,
                  controversy or claim to arbitration.  The two arbitrators so
                  selected shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days
                  after the
                  selection of the arbitrator selected by such parties.  Should a
                  party fail to select an arbitrator within the specified time period,
                  or
                  should the arbitrators selected by the parties fail to select a
                  third
                  arbitrator, the missing arbitrator or arbitrators shall be appointed
                  by
                  the Tampa, Florida office of the American Arbitration
                  Association.  The decision of the panel shall be final and
                  binding on the parties and enforceable in any court of competent
                  jurisdiction.  The costs of the arbitration will be imposed upon
                  the Claimant and Respondent as determined by the arbitration panel
                  or,
                  failing such determination, will be borne equally by the Claimant
                  and the
                  Respondent.  The successful or prevailing party or parties shall
                  be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys fees in addition to
                  any other
                  relief to which it may be entitled.

                  parties hereto which shall arise out of or in connection with this
                  Debenture, the parties shall keep the proceeding related to such
                  controversy in strict confidence and shall not disclose the nature
                  of said
                  dispute, the status of the proceeding or any testimony, documents
                  or

                  dispute.

      RECITAL

      

      The

        continue his employment by the Company, in each case on the terms and subject
        to
        the conditions set forth in this Agreement.  The parties agree that
        any and every preexisting agreement, understanding and arrangement with respect
        to Employee’s employment and benefits (not including accrued and unpaid
        compensation and retirement benefits, if any) between the Company and the
        Employee is cancelled and terminated and replaced by this

        rules and procedures in force from time to time.

      

      1.3    Employee
        shall devote his full time, attention, skill and efforts to his tasks and
        duties
        hereunder and to the affairs of the Company.  Without the prior
        written consent of the Company based on approval by the board of directors,
        Employee shall not provide services for compensation to any other person
        or
        business entity during the Term of his employment by the Company, as defined
        in
        paragraph 2.1, or engage in any other business activity (not including any
        passive investment activities), whether or not such other business activity

        pursued for profit or pecuniary advantage.

        from the Chairman of the Board of Directors or his designee, stating the

        for termination.  Such termination shall be effective immediately upon
        the giving of such notice (subject to the terms set forth in Section 2.7(a)

        full
        extent of Employee’s rights under such plans, accrued vacation pay, and any
        appropriate business expenses incurred by Employee in connection with his
        duties

        kind, including without limitation, severance compensation.

      

      2.3    Voluntary
        Termination.  In the event of a Voluntary Termination (as

        to
        the date of termination, but no other compensation or reimbursement of any

        including without limitation, severance compensation. Employee may affect

        termination to the Company.

      

      2.4     Termination
        by Death.  In the event of Employee’s death during the Term
        of this Agreement, Employee’s employment shall be deemed to have terminated as
        of the last day of the month during which his death occurs and the Company
        shall
        pay to his estate or such beneficiaries, as Employee may from time to time
        designate, all accrued salary, bonus to the extent earned, any benefits under

        Agreement, a physician selected by the Company certifies that Employee has
        become physically or mentally incapacitated or unable to perform his full-time
        duties under this Agreement, and that such incapacity has continued for a
        period
        of five consecutive months or 180 calendar days within any period of 365
        consecutive days, the Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s
        employment hereunder by written notification to Employee, and such termination
        shall be effective on the seventh (7th) day
        following the
        giving of such notice (“Termination by Reason of Disability”).  In
        such event, the Company will pay to Employee all accrued salary, bonus to

        incurred by Employee in connection with his duties hereunder, all to the
        date of
        termination, and all severance compensation required under Section 4.1, but
        Employee shall not be paid any other compensation or reimbursement of any
        kind.  In the event of a Termination by Reason of Disability, upon the
        termination of the disability, the Company will use its best efforts to reemploy
        Employee, provided that such reemployment need not be in the same capacity
        or at
        the same salary or benefits level as in effect prior to the Termination by
        Reason of Disability.

        Obligation Upon Termination. Upon the Termination of Employee’s
        employment for any reason, Employee shall within ten (10) days of such
        termination return to the Company all personal property and proprietary
        information in Employee’s possession belonging to the Company.  Unless
        and until all such property and information is returned to the Company (which
        shall be determined by the Company’s standard termination and check-out
        procedures), the Company shall have no obligation to make any payment of
        any
        kind to Employee hereunder.

        purposes of this Agreement the following terms shall have the following

      3.      
        Salary, Benefits and Bonus Compensation.

      

      3.1    Base

        Employee as provided in Section 1 and subject to the terms and conditions
        of
        Section 2, the Company agrees to pay to Employee a “Base Salary “at the rate of

        regular payroll practices. On the  anniversary date of
        this Agreement each year, an increase of at least 10% in the “Base Pay”
rate will occur. Such rate and Employee’s performance shall be reviewed by the
        Company’s Board of Directors on an annual basis, commencing Starting Date, for a
        determination of whether other adjustment(s) in Employee’s Base Salary should be
        made, which adjustment shall be in sole discretion of the Company’s Board of
        Directors.   In no event shall Employee’s Base Pay be
        decreased.

      

      3.2    Performance
        Bonus.  Employee shall be paid a performance bonus upon the
        occurrence of certain earned annual gross revenues by the Company (“Gross
        Revenue”) according to the following terms:

      

      (a)    Employee
        shall receive $75,000 if the Company achieves Revenue From Operations (“RFO”) of
        $50 million, and an additional $75,000 for every $15 million increment
        thereafter (e.g., $65 million, $80 million, etc.).

      

      (b)    Any
        bonus
        paid pursuant to this section shall be paid upon only the first achievement
        of initial RFO amount and increments thereto identified in
        3.2(a).

      

      (c)    The
        RFO from
        audited financial statements of the most recent fiscal year prior to acquisition
        (as of the date of acquisition) of any businesses or entities acquired pursuant
        to Section 3.3 below shall not be calculated in the Gross Revenue figure
        used
        for this section.  However, amounts over the RFO shall be included in
        the calculation of Employee’s bonus pursuant to Section 3.2(a).  If
        any acquired business or entity ceases its affiliation with the Company in
        any
        way, its RFO shall be removed from the calculation of Employee’s bonus pursuant
        to this section.

      

      (d)    The
        RFO of
        the Company shall be audited gross revenues beginning for the 2008
        fiscal

      
        
          
          

        

        
          4.

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      year
        and
        shall be done on a consolidated basis for the Company and all of its acquired
        companies, subsidiaries and affiliates.

      

      (e)     The
        performance bonus shall be payable in cash, common stock, or any combination
        of
        both, at the sole election of Employee.  If the Employee elects a
        stock distribution, the stock shall be issued not later than forty-five days
        following the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB.

      

      (f)    Upon
        the
        occasion that the RFO of the Company exceeds $200 million, the Parties agree
        to
        attempt to renegotiate this Agreement.  During the pendency of the
        renegotiation, or if agreement cannot be reached as a result of the
        renegotiation, the terms of this Agreement shall remain in force and effect;
        provided, however, that the incremental amount specified in 3.2(a) shall
        increase to $20 million for RFO exceeding $200 million (e.g. $220
        million, $240 million, etc.).

      

      3.3    Acquisition
        Bonus.  Notwithstanding the terms set forth in Section 3.2
        above, Employee shall be paid an acquisition bonus of $75,000 for each $15
        million of RFO of any company acquired directly or indirectly by the Company,
        its parents, or subsidiaries, the acquisition of which is identified and
        substantially negotiated by the Employee, provided that neither the Company
        nor
        the acquired company are obligated to pay brokerage fees to a third
        party.  By way of illustration, if Employee identifies a business
        which the Company or its affiliate acquires (by way of stock or asset
        acquisition) that earned $45 million RFO, Employee shall be entitled to an
        acquisition bonus of $225,000.  The bonus shall be paid within thirty
        days following the closing of such acquisition.

        equivalent policy that the Employee shall elect.

      

      (d)    Vacation. Employee
        is entitled to take five (5) weeks paid vacation annually, as measured from
        the
        Starting Date.  Employee shall be entitled to an additional one (1)
        week of vacation upon each anniversary as measured from the Starting Date,
        but
        shall accrue no more than eight (8) weeks of paid vacation per
        year.  Vacation time banked and unused may be rolled over to
        subsequent years or paid out in cash, at the sole election of
        Employee.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          5.

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

      (e)    Reimbursement
        for Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Employee for reasonable and
        properly documented out-of-pocket business and/or entertainment expenses
        incurred by Employee in connection with his duties under this Agreement in
        accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policy in effect from time to time.
        Company’s reimbursement policy currently in force must be provided to Employee
        in writing before execution of this Agreement.  Any changes to
        Company’s policy must be provided to Employee in writing thirty (30) days prior
        to the changes becoming effective.

      

      4.     
        Severance Compensation.

      

      4.1    Payment. Following
        a Termination by Reason of Disability, Employee shall be entitled to severance
        compensation equal to the Base Salary remaining under the term of this Agreement
        at the time of said termination.  The severance compensation will be
        paid in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices. The
        Company may, in the Company’s sole discretion, if Employee so requests within
        thirty (30) days following a Termination by Reason of Disability, elect to
        pay
        to Employee a lump sum severance payment by bank cashier’s check equal to the

        Employee’s
        Death, neither Employee nor his
        estate shall be paid any severance compensation.

        livelihood apart from the activities which are prohibited by this covenant
        during the specified period, and that the value and expected value of the
        consideration given for this covenant is sufficient compensation for this
        agreement.

      

      5.2    Non-solicitation. From
        a period one year after the termination of Employee’s employment with the

        is agreed by the parties that the covenants contained in this Article 5 may
        be
        enforced against Employee by injunction, without requirement imposed by the
        court for posting bond which Employee specifically and knowingly waives,
