        unpaid interest thereon and (ii) all other amounts, costs, expenses and

      (a)      The Company shall pay interest to the Holder
      on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of this
      Unsecured Debenture (including any interest added to such principal in
      accordance with this Section 2) at an annual rate equal to the Interest Rate,
      payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be
      calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and shall accrue daily commencing on
      the Original Issue Date. Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth
      below, the Company will pay interest under this Unsecured Debenture either (i)
      in cash, or (ii) by delivering by the third Trading Day following the Interest
      Payment Date, a number of freely tradable shares of Common Stock equal to the
      quotient obtained by dividing the amount of such interest by the arithmetic
      average of the VWAP for the five Trading Days immediately preceding (but not

      stock payment at least 20 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date,
      but the Company may indicate in any such notice that the election contained
      therein shall continue for subsequent Interest Payment Dates until revised on
      not less than 20 calendar days notice prior to an Interest Payment Date.
      Failure to timely provide such written notice shall be deemed an election by
      the Company to pay such interest in cash. All interest payable on any Interest
      Payment Date must be paid in the same manner.
    

    
                 (b)
           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may
      not pay interest in shares of Common Stock unless, on the Interest Payment
      Date, the Equity Conditions are satisfied with respect to all of the Underlying
      Shares then issuable upon conversion in full of all outstanding Unsecured
      Debentures. If the Company is required but fails to pay interest in cash on any
      Interest Payment Date, the Holder may (but shall not be required to), by notice
      to the Company, treat such interest as if it had been accreted to the principal
      amount of this Unsecured Debenture as of such Interest Payment Date.
    

    
           3.
           Registration of Unsecured Debentures. The
      Company shall register the Unsecured Debentures upon records to be maintained
      by the Company for that purpose (the "Unsecured Debenture Register") in
      the name of each record holder thereof from time to time. The Company may deem
      and treat the registered Holder as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of
      any conversion hereof or any payment of interest hereon, and for all other
      purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
    

    
           4.

      portion of this Unsecured Debenture in the Unsecured Debenture Register upon
      surrender of this Unsecured Debenture to the Company at its address for notice
      set forth herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new debenture, in
      substantially the form of this Unsecured Debenture (any such new debenture, a
      "New Unsecured Debenture"), evidencing the portion of this Unsecured
      Debenture so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Unsecured
      Debenture evidencing the remaining portion of this Unsecured Debenture not so
      transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance
      of the New
    

    
      -9-
    

    
    
      Unsecured Debenture by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
      acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
      of a Unsecured Debenture. This Unsecured Debenture is exchangeable for an equal
      aggregate principal amount of Unsecured Debentures of different authorized
      denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service
      charge or other fee will be imposed in connection with any such registration of
      transfer or exchange. Transfers of this Unsecured Debenture and the Underlying
      Shares issuable on conversion thereof hereby are governed by Section 4.1 of the
      Purchase Agreement.
    

    
           5.
           Conversion
    

    
                (a)     
      At the option of the Holder. The principal amount of this Unsecured
      Debenture then outstanding is convertible into shares of Common Stock at the
      Conversion Price (subject to limitations set forth in Section 5(d)), at the
      option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time from and after the
      Original Issue Date. Holders shall effect conversions under this Section 5(a),
      by delivering to the Company a Holder Conversion Notice together with a
      schedule in the form of Schedule 1 attached hereto (the "Conversion
      Schedule"). The number of Underlying Shares issuable upon any conversion
      hereunder shall (subject to limitations set forth in Section 5(d)) equal the
      outstanding principal amount of this Unsecured Debenture to be converted
      divided by the Initial Conversion Price. If the Holder is converting less than
      all of the principal amount represented by this Unsecured Debenture, or if a
      conversion hereunder may not be effected in full due to the application of
      Section 5(d)(i), the Company shall honor such conversion to the extent
      permissible hereunder and shall promptly deliver to the Holder a Conversion
      Schedule indicating the principal amount which has not been converted.
    

    
                 (b)
           At the option of the Company. Subject to
      the conditions set forth in this Section 5(b) and Section 5(d), at any time
      after the first year anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Company may
      require a conversion of principal amount of this Unsecured Debenture, at the
      Conversion Price and on the Company Conversion Date, of all or a portion of the
      outstanding principal amount of this Unsecured Debenture if: (i) both: (A) the
      average of the Closing Prices during any 30 consecutive Trading Days is equal
      to or greater than $5.10 (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits,
      recapitalizations and similar events) and (B) the Closing Price for each of 15
      Trading Days (which need not be consecutive) during such 30 consecutive Trading
      Day period is equal to or greater than $5.10 (subject to equitable adjustments
      for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events) and (ii) all of the
      Equity Conditions are satisfied as of the Company Conversion Date with respect
      to all of the Underlying Shares potentially issuable in connection with such
      proposed conversion. The Company shall exercise its right to require
      conversions hereunder by delivering to the Holder a Company Conversion Notice
      together with a Conversion Schedule within 10 Business Days of the satisfaction
      of the condition set forth in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence.
      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any of the conditions set
      forth in clauses (i) and (ii) herein shall cease to be in effect during the
      period between the date of the delivery of the Company Conversion Notice and
      the Company Conversion Date, then the Holder subject to such conversion may
      elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time after any such
      conditions shall cease to be in effect, to invalidate ab initio such
      conversion. The number of Underlying Shares issuable upon any conversion
      hereunder shall (subject to limitations set forth in Section 5(d)) equal the
      outstanding principal amount of this Unsecured Debenture to be converted
      (including any interest payments
    

    
      -10-
    

    
    
      accreted to principal pursuant to the terms hereof) divided by the
      Conversion Price. The conversion subject to each Company Conversion Notice,
      once given, shall be irrevocable as to the Company. If the conversion of a
      principal amount of Unsecured Debentures indicated in a Company Conversion
      Notice would result in the issuance to the Holder of Underlying Shares in
      excess of the amount permitted pursuant to Section 5(d)(i), the Holder shall
      notify the Company of this fact and the Company shall: (x) honor the conversion
      for the maximum principal amount of Unsecured Debentures permitted, pursuant to
      Section 5(d)(i), to be converted on such Company Conversion Date and (y) cancel
      the Company Conversion Notice with respect to the portion of the principal
      amount of Unsecured Debentures the conversion of which would violate Section
      5(d)(i). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not
      be entitled to deliver a Company Conversion Notice prior to the 10th
      Business Day following the delivery of a company conversion notice pursuant to
      any Debenture.
    

    
                (c)
           Company's option to adjust Conversion Price
      and force conversion. At any time and from time to time after the date the
      First Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, the
      Company shall have the option, upon the delivery of an Adjustment Notice to the
      Holder, to adjust the Conversion Price then in effect with respect to the
      Mandatory Convertible Amount applicable to such Adjustment Notice to equal the
      lesser of: (A) the Initial Conversion Price and (B) the product of (x) the
      applicable Adjustment Percentage and (y) the Index Price. Subject to the terms
      hereof (including, without limitation, Section 5(d)(i)), on each Adjustment
      Date immediately following the delivery of an Adjustment Notice, the applicable
      Mandatory Convertible Amount shall be converted into Underlying Shares at the
      Conversion Price as adjusted on such Adjustment Date pursuant to the terms of
      the immediately preceding sentence, provided, that such conversion shall
      only occur if all of the Equity Conditions are satisfied as of the Adjustment
      Date with respect to all of the Underlying Shares potentially issuable in
      connection with such proposed conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to
      the contrary, the Company shall not be entitled to deliver an Adjustment Notice
      prior to the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following the
      immediately preceding Delivery Date hereunder or a delivery date under any
      Debenture. If a conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Amount would result in
      the issuance to the Holder of Underlying Shares in excess of the amount
      permitted pursuant to Section 5(d)(i), the Holder shall notify the Company of
      this fact and the Company shall: (x) honor the conversion for the maximum
      principal amount of Unsecured Debentures permitted, pursuant to Section
      5(d)(i), to be converted on the applicable Adjustment Date and (y) cancel the
      portion of the Mandatory Convertible Amount the conversion of which would
      violate Section 5(d)(i).
    

    
                (d)
           Certain Conversion Restrictions.
    

    
                    (i)
           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
      contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by
      a Holder upon any conversion of Unsecured Debentures (or otherwise in respect
      hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such
      conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then
      beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and any other Persons
      whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such
      Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed
      9.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
      (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
      conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be
    

    
      -11-
    

    
    
      determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
      rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of a Holder
      Conversion Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the applicable
      Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and
      determined that issuance of the full number of Underlying Shares issuable in
      respect of such Conversion Notice does not violate the restriction contained in
      this paragraph. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of
      Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to
      determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may
      receive in the event of a merger, sale or other business combination or
      reclassification involving the Company as contemplated herein.
    

    
                     (ii)
           If the Company has not previously obtained
      Shareholder Approval (as defined below), then the Company may not issue in
      excess of the Issuable Maximum upon conversions of the Unsecured Debentures.
      The "Issuable Maximum" means a number of shares equal to 2,973,847,
      less: any number of shares of Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of
      any Debenture and exercise of any Warrants. Each Holder shall be entitled to a
      portion of the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (x)
      the principal amount of Unsecured Debentures issued and sold to such Holder on
      the Original Issue Date by (y) the aggregate principal amount of Unsecured
      Debentures issued and sold by the Company on the Original Issue Date. If any
      Holder shall no longer hold Unsecured Debentures, then such Holder's remaining
      portion of the Issuable Maximum shall be allocated pro-rata among the remaining
      Holders. If on any Conversion Date: (A) the aggregate number of shares of
      Common Stock that would then be issuable upon conversion in full of all then
      outstanding principal amount of Unsecured Debentures would exceed the Issuable
      Maximum, and (B) the Company shall not have previously obtained the vote of
      shareholders, as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the
      Nasdaq (or any successor entity) applicable to approve the issuance of shares
      of Common Stock in excess of the Issuable Maximum pursuant to the terms hereof
      (the "Shareholder Approval"), then, the Company shall issue to the
      converting Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to such Holder's
      pro-rata portion (which shall be calculated pursuant to the terms hereof) of
      the Issuable Maximum and, with respect to the remainder of the principal amount
      of Unsecured Debentures then held by such Holder for which a conversion would
      result in an issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of such Holder's
      pro-rata portion (which shall be calculated pursuant to the terms hereof) of
      the Issuable Maximum (the "Excess Principal Amount"), the applicable
      Holder shall have the right to require the Company to either: (1) obtain the
      Shareholder Approval applicable to such issuance as soon as is possible, but in
      any event not later than the 90th day after such request, or (2) pay cash, in
      an amount equal to the Excess Principal Amount (and accrued and unpaid interest
      thereon). If a Holder shall have elected the first option pursuant to the
      immediately preceding sentence and the Company shall have failed to obtain the
      Shareholder Approval on or prior to the 90th day after such request, then
      within three (3) days of such 90th day, the Company shall pay cash to such
      Holder an amount equal to Excess Principal Amount (and accrued and unpaid
      interest thereon). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if on any
      date other than a Conversion Date: (A) the aggregate number of shares of Common
      Stock that would then be issuable upon conversion in full of all then
      outstanding principal amount of Unsecured Debentures would exceed the Issuable
      Maximum, and (B) the Company shall not have previously obtained the Shareholder
      Approval, then, the Holder shall be entitled to require the Company to pay to
      it in cash an amount equal to the principal amount of Unsecured Debentures (and
      accrued and unpaid interest thereon) then held by such Holder for which a
      potential
    

    
      -12-
    

    
    
      conversion on such date would result in an issuance of shares of Common
      Stock in excess of such Holder's pro-rata portion (which shall be calculated
      pursuant to the terms hereof) of the Issuable Maximum. The outstanding
      principal amount of Unsecured Debentures shall be reduced by the Excess
      Principal Amount upon the Holder's receipt of the Excess Principal Amount
      pursuant to the terms hereof. The Company and the Holder understand and agree
      that shares of Common Stock issued to and then held by the Holder as a result
      of conversions of Unsecured Debentures shall not be entitled to cast votes on
      any resolution to obtain Shareholder Approval pursuant hereto.
    

    
                (e)
           Mechanics of Conversion. By the third
      Trading Day after each Conversion Date, the Company shall issue or cause to be
      issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and
      in such name or names as the Holder may designate a certificate for the
      Underlying Shares issuable upon such conversion which, unless required by the
      Purchase Agreement, shall be free of all restrictive legends. The Holder, or
      any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Underlying Shares, shall be
      deemed to have become the holder of record of such Underlying Shares as of the
      Conversion Date. If the Company's transfer agent is eligible to participate in
      the Depositary Trust Corporation DWAC system and no legends are required to be
      included on the certificates representing Underlying Shares pursuant to the
      Purchase Agreement, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best
      efforts to deliver Underlying Shares hereunder electronically through the
      Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation
      performing similar functions.
    

    
                (f)
           To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall
      not be required to physically surrender this Unsecured Debenture unless the
      aggregate principal amount represented by such Unsecured Debenture is being
      converted, in which event, the Holder shall deliver such Unsecured Debenture
      promptly to the Company (it being understood that such delivery is not a
      condition precedent to the Company's obligations to deliver Underlying Shares
      upon such conversion). Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering
      the outstanding principal amount represented by such Unsecured Debenture in an
      amount equal to the applicable conversion, which shall be evidenced by entries
      set forth in the Conversion Schedule which will be maintained by the Company
      and the Holder and be binding on both parties absent manifest error.
    

    
                 (g)
           The Company's obligations to issue and deliver
      Underlying Shares upon conversion of this Unsecured Debenture in accordance
      with the terms hereof (including, without limitations, Section 5(d)) are
      absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the
      Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision
      hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to
      enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or
      termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person
      of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law
      by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance
      which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in
      connection with the issuance of such Underlying Shares.
    

    
                (h)
           If by the third Trading Day after a Conversion
      Date the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such Underlying Shares in such
      amounts and in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(e), then the Holder
      will have the right to rescind such conversion.
    

    
      -13-
    

    
    
                (i)
           If by the third Trading Day after a Conversion
      Date the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such Underlying Shares in such
      amounts and in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(e), and if after such
      third Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or
      otherwise) shares of 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 Company 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 shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y)
      the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of Underlying
      Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection
      with the conversion at issue by (2) the Closing Price at the time of the
      obligation giving rise to such purchase obligation and (B) at the option of the
      Holder, either reinstate the principal amount of Unsecured Debentures and
      equivalent number of Underlying Shares for which such conversion was not timely
      honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that
      would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and
      delivery obligations hereunder. 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 Unsecured Debentures with a market price on the
      date of conversion totaling $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
      preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The
      Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
      to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
    

    
                (j)
           Adjustments to Conversion Price. The
      Conversion Price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be subject to
      adjustments in accordance with this Section 5(j):
    

    
                     
      (i)      Stock Dividends and Splits. If the
      Company, at any time while any Unsecured Debentures are outstanding, (i) pays a
      stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any
      class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii)
      subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
      or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
      shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a
      fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
      outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be
      the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.
      Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become
      effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
      stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any
      adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become
      effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
      combination.
    

    
                     (ii)
           Additional Distributions. If the Company,
      at any time while any Unsecured Debentures are outstanding, shall distribute to
      all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness
      or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then
      in each such case the Conversion Price at which the principal amount of
      Unsecured Debentures shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by
      multiplying the 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 Price determined as
      of the record date mentioned above, and of
    

    
      -14-
    

    
    
      which the numerator shall be such Closing 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
      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 Holders
      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.
    

    
                     
      (iii)      Subsequent Equity Sales. If the
      Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this
      Unsecured Debenture is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or
      Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common
      Stock, at a price per share less than the Conversion Price (if the holder of
      the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time,
      whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating
      conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants,
      options or rights issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to
      receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Conversion Price, such
      issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price),
      then, at the option of the Holder for such conversions as it shall indicate,
      the 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 Company shall notify
      the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading 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. No further adjustments shall
      be made to the Conversion Price upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon
      conversion or exercise of the applicable Common Stock Equivalent.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section
      5(j)(iii) in respect of:
    

    
                          (A)
           Any grant of an option or warrant for Common
      Stock or issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any
      options or warrants to employees, officers and directors of or consultants to
      the Company pursuant to any stock option plan, employeestock purchase plan or
      similar plan or incentive or consulting arrangement approved by the Company's
      board of directors;
    

    
                          (B)
           Any rights or agreements to purchase Common Stock
      Equivalents outstanding on the date hereof and as specified in Schedule 3.1(g)
      to the Purchase Agreement (but not as to any amendments or other modifications
      to the number of Common Stock issuable thereunder, the terms set forth therein,
      or the exercise price set forth therein);
    

    
                          (C)
           Any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
      issued for consideration other than cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation,
      acquisition or other similar business combination;
    

    
                          
      (D)      Any issuances of Common Stock or Common Stock

    

    
      -15-
    

    
    
      Equivalents to a Person which is or will be, itself or through its
      subsidiaries, an operating company in a business related to or complementary
      with the business of the Company and in which the Company receives reasonably
      material benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include
      a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the
      purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing
      in securities;
    

    
                          
      (E)      Any Common Stock Equivalents that entitle the
      holders thereof to acquire up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant
      to any equipment leasing arrangement;
    

    
                          
      (F)      Any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
      issued to pay all or a portion of any investment banking, finders or similar
      fee or commission, which entitles the holders thereof to acquire shares of
      Common Stock at a price not less than the market price of the Common Stock on
      the date of such issuance and which is not subject to any adjustments other
      than on account of stock splits and reverse stock splits;
    

    
                          
      (G)      A bona fide underwritten public offering of
      the Common Stock resulting in gross proceeds in excess of $15 million to the
      Company (it being understood that equity line transactions, including any on
      going warrant financing, or any similar arrangements shall not constitute a
      bona fide underwritten public offering of the Common Stock for the purposes
      hereof);
    

    
                          
      (H)      Any adjustment to the Conversion Price
      pursuant to Section 5(c); or
    

    
                           (I)
           The issuance of any Debentures or Warrants
      pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or the issuance of any shares of Common
      Stock upon conversion and exercise, respectively, of Debentures and Warrants or
      upon exercise of warrants issued by the Company on June 19, 2002 to Pine Ridge
      Financial, Inc. and ZLP Master Technology Fund, Ltd.
    

    
                     
      (iv)      Calculations. All calculations under
      this Section 5(j) shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a
      share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
      any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of
      the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an
      issue or sale of Common Stock.
    

    
                     (v)
           Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the
      Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof the Company shall
      promptly mail to each Holder, a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after
      such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
      adjustment.
    

    
                (k)
           Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time
      while this Unsecured Debenture is outstanding: (i) the Company effects any
      merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the
      Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a
      series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer
      (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which
      holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for
      other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the
    

    
      -16-
    

    
    
      Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any
      compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively
      converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such
      case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then the Holder shall have the right
      thereafter to receive, upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount of
      this Unsecured Debenture, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or
      property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such
      Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental
      Transaction, the holder of the number of Underlying Shares then issuable upon
      conversion in full of the outstanding principal amount of this Unsecured
      Debenture (the "Alternate Consideration"). For purposes of any such
      exercise, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately
      adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of
      Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in
      such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion
      Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the
      relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If
      holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or
      property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be
      given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any
      conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Unsecured Debenture
      following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder's option and request, any
      successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction
      shall, either (i) issue to the Holder a new debenture substantially in the form
      of this Unsecured Debenture and consistent with the foregoing provisions
      (omitting Section 5(j)(iii) hereof) and evidencing the Holder's right to
      purchase the Alternate Consideration at the Conversion Price upon conversion
      thereof, or (ii) purchase the Unsecured Debenture from the Holder for a
      purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request
      (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to
      the Black Scholes value of the remaining unconverted portion of the outstanding
      principal amount of this Unsecured Debenture (together with any accrued but
      unpaid interest thereon) on the date of the Fundamental Transaction as well as
      assumptions reasonably mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder,
      provided that for purposes of such calculation, the market price of the Common
      Stock shall be the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
      immediately preceding the public announcement of the Fundamental Transaction
      and the volatility factor shall be determined by reference to the 12 month
      average industry volatility measures. The terms of any agreement pursuant to
      which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any
      such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this
      paragraph (k) and insuring that the Unsecured Debenture (or any such
      replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
      transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
    

    
                (l)
           Reclassifications; Share Exchanges. 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 (other than compulsory share exchanges which constitute Change
      of Control Transactions), the Holders of the Unsecured Debentures then
      outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares only into
      the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or
      deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification or
      share exchange, and the Holders shall be entitled upon such event to receive
      such amount of securities, cash or property as a holder of the number of shares
      of Common Stock of the Company into which such shares of Unsecured Debentures
      could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification or share
      exchange would have
    

    
      -17-
    

    
    
      been entitled. This provision shall similarly apply to successive
      reclassifications or share exchanges.
    

    
                (m)
           Notice of Corporate Events. If (a) the
      Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common
      Stock, (b) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or
      a redemption of the Common Stock, (c) the Company shall authorize the granting
      to all holders of 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 Company shall be required in connection with any Change
      of Control transaction or Fundamental Transaction, (e) the entering into an
      agreement to effectuate a Change of Control transaction or Fundamental
      Transaction, or (f) the Company shall authorize the Liquidation of the Company;
      then the Company shall file a press release or Current Report on Form 8-K to
      disclose such occurrence and notify the Holders at their last addresses as they
      shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 20 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 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 any such Change of Control
      transaction or Fundamental Transaction is expected to become effective or
      close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of
      record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities, cash or
      other property deliverable upon any such Change of Control Transaction or
      Fundamental Transaction. Holders are entitled to convert principal amount of
      this Unsecured Debenture during the 20-day period commencing the date of such
      notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
    

    
                (n)
           The Company covenants that it will at all times
      reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common
      Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Unsecured
      Debentures, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other
      actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less
      than such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the
      conversion of all outstanding principal amount of Unsecured Debentures. The
      Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable
      shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and
      nonassessable.
    

    
                 (o)
           Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not
      be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of
      Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of
      any final fraction of a share based on the Closing Price on the applicable
      Conversion Date. If any fraction of an Underlying Share would, except for the
      provisions of this Section 5(o), be issuable upon a conversion hereunder, the
      Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Conversion Price multiplied by
      such fraction.
    

    
                 (p)
           The issuance of certificates for Common Stock on
      conversion of principal amount of this Unsecured Debenture shall be made
      without charge to the Holders 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 Company 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
    

    
      -18-
    

    
    
      certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of
      such Unsecured Debentures so converted.
    

    
                (q)
           Any and all notices or other communications or
      deliveries to be provided by the Holders, including, without limitation, any
      Conversion Notice, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile
      or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the
      attention of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company addressed to 1
      Industrial Way West, Eatontown, New Jersey, Facsimile No.: (732) 542-4010, or
      to such other address or facsimile number as shall be specified in writing by
      the Company for such purpose. Any and all notices or other communications or
      deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and
      delivered personally, by facsimile or sent by a nationally recognized overnight
      courier service, addressed to each Holder at the facsimile telephone number or
      address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such
      facsimile telephone number or address appears, at the principal place of
      business of the Holder. Any notice or other communication or deliveries
      hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date
      of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at
      the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 5(q) prior to 6:30
      p.m. (New York City time)(with confirmation of transmission), (ii) the date
      after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
      via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 5(q)
      later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than 11:59
      p.m. (New York City time) on such date (with confirmation of transmission),
      (iii) upon receipt, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier
      service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
      required to be given.
    

    
           6.
           Prepayments Upon Events of Default. Upon
      the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Holder shall (in addition to all
      other rights it may have hereunder or under applicable law), have the right
      exercisable at the sole option of such Holder, and by delivery of a written
      notice to the Company to require the Company (an "Event of Default
      Notice"), to prepay all or a portion of the Unsecured Debentures then held
      by such Holder and, at the option of the Holder, all or a portion of the
      Reinstated Principal, for an amount, in cash, equal to the Mandatory Prepayment
      Amount. The Mandatory Prepayment Amount shall be due and payable within five
      Trading Days of the date of the Event of Default Notice. For purposes of this
      Section 6 principal amount of Unsecured Debentures shall remain outstanding
      until such date as the Holder shall have received Underlying Shares upon a
      conversion (or attempted conversion) thereof that meets the requirements
      hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of
      a Bankruptcy Event, all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest
      on this Unsecured Debenture shall immediately become due and payable in full in
      cash, without any further action by the Holder, and the Company shall
      immediately be obligated to pay the Mandatory Prepayment Amount pursuant to
      this paragraph as if the Holder had delivered a Event of Default Notice
      immediately prior to the occurrence of any such Event of Default. The Holder
      need not provide and the Company 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.
    

    
      -19-
    

    
    
           7.
           Prepayment at the Option of the Company.
    

    
                (a)
           At any time following the Original Issue Date and
      prior to the Maturity Date, upon delivery of a written notice to the Holder (a
      "Company Prepayment Notice" and the date such notice is delivered by the
      Company, the "Company Notice Date"), the Company shall be entitled to
      prepay a principal amount of Unsecured Debentures equal to the lesser of (x)
      the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Unsecured Debentures then held by
      the Holder and (y) the principal amount of Unsecured Debentures which may be
      converted without violation of Section 5(d)(i), in either case, for an amount
      in cash equal to the Company Prepayment Price. Notwithstanding anything herein
      to the contrary, the Company shall only be entitled to deliver a Company
      Prepayment Notice pursuant to the terms hereof if the Equity Conditions are
      satisfied with respect to all shares of Common Stock issuable upon a Company
      Notice Date. If any of Equity Conditions shall cease to be in effect during the
      period between the Company Notice Date and the date the Company Prepayment
      Price is paid in full, then the Holder subject to such prepayment may elect, by
      written notice to the Company given at any time after any of the Equity
      Conditions shall cease to be in effect, to invalidate ab initio such
      optional prepayment, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary.
      The Holder may convert any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the
      Unsecured Debentures subject to a Company Prepayment Notice prior to the date
      that the Company Prepayment Price is due and paid in full. Once delivered, the
      Company shall not be entitled to rescind a Company Prepayment Notice.
    

    
                (b)
           The Company Prepayment Price shall be due on the
      30th Trading Day immediately following the Company Notice Date. Any
      such prepayment shall be free of any claim of subordination. If any portion of
      the Company Prepayment Price shall not be timely paid by the Company, interest
      shall accrue thereon at the rate of 12% per annum (or the maximum rate
      permitted by applicable law, whichever is less) until the Company Prepayment
      Price plus all such interest is paid in full, which payment shall constitute
      liquidated damages and not a penalty. In addition, if any portion of the
      Company Prepayment Price remains unpaid after such date, the Holder subject to
      such prepayment may elect by written notice to the Company to invalidate ab
      initio such Company Prepayment Notice with respect to the unpaid amount,
      notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary. If the Holder makes
      such an election, this Unsecured Debenture shall be reinstated with respect to
      such unpaid amount and the Company shall no longer have any prepayment rights
      under this Section 7.
    

    
           8.
           Ranking. This Unsecured Debenture ranks
      pari passu with all other Unsecured Debentures now or hereafter issued pursuant
      to the Transaction Documents. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(x) to
      the Purchase Agreement, no indebtedness of the Company is senior to this
      Unsecured Debenture in right of payment, whether with respect of interest,
      damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise. Other than in
      connection with the Company's reimbursement obligation to Wachovia Bank,
      National Association pursuant to the Letter of Credit to be issued in
      connection with the issuance of the Secured Debentures and except as set forth
      in Schedule 3.1(x) to the Purchase Agreement, the Company will not, and
      will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into, create,
      incur, assume or suffer to exist indebtedness of any kind, on or with respect
      to any of its property or assets now owned or
    

    
      -20-
    

    
    
      hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits
      therefrom, that is senior in any respect to the Company's obligations under the
      Unsecured Debentures.

      other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or
      omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair

            Underlying Shares it is entitled to receive subsequent to such Conversion Date
            pursuant to Section 6(e), by an amount equal to the principal amount of Secured
            Debentures converted on such Conversion Date less any interest payment accreted
            to principal up to such date;
       

       
                       
              (ii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an
            amount equal to the Holder Prepayment Price or the Company Prepayment Price
            paid by the Company pursuant to the delivery of a Holder Prepayment Notice or
            Company Prepayment Notice, as applicable, as set forth in Section 8, upon
            receipt by the Holder of such payment;
       

       
                       
              (iii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced by
            an amount equal to the principal amount of Secured Debentures being exchanged
            pursuant to Section 7 into Exchange Debentures, upon receipt by the Holder of
            such Exchange Debenture; and
       

       
                       
              (iv) on the Final Release Date and provided that: (A) the
            Equity Conditions are satisfied on such date with respect to the Underlying
            Shares issuable upon conversion in full of the then outstanding principal
            amount of Secured Debentures and (B) the Underlying Shares issuable upon
            conversion in full of the then outstanding principal amount of Secured
            Debentures would not violate Section 6(d)(i), the Letter of Credit shall be
            canceled and shall cease to secure any Secured Debentures which may be
            outstanding as of such Final Release Date.
       

       
                 
                 (c)  The Holder shall, within five
            Trading Days of the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 2(b),
            provide the Bank with Exhibit C attached to the Letter of Credit
            indicating the occurrence of such event.
       

       
                 
                 (d)  Upon the failure of the Company to
            timely pay to the Holder any amount which is then due and payable to the Holder
            under this Secured Debenture, whether pursuant to Section 8, Section 9 or any
            other applicable Section herein, the Holder shall be entitled to draw on the
            Letter of Credit to the extent of any such payment or payments so due to the
            Holder is not timely paid by the Company.
       

       
                 
                 (e)  Any amounts received by the Holder
            pursuant to a draw on the Letter of Credit shall be applied against all
            unsatisfied obligations of the Company under this Secured Debenture.
       

       
            -8-
       

       
       
                   3. Interest.
       

       
                       (a)
              The Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate
            unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of this Secured Debenture
            (including any interest added to such principal in accordance with this Section
            2) at an annual rate equal to the Interest Rate, payable quarterly in arrears
            on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a
            360-day year and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date.
            Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below, the Company will pay
            interest under this Secured Debenture either (i) in cash, or (ii) by delivering
            by the third Trading Day following the Interest Payment Date, a number of
            freely tradable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by
            dividing the amount of such interest by the arithmetic average of the VWAP for
            the five Trading Days immediately preceding (but not including) the Interest
            Payment Date. To pay the interest payable on an Interest Payment Date in freely
            tradable shares of Common Stock, the Company must deliver written notice to the
            Holder indicating its election to make such stock payment at least 20 calendar
            days prior to such Interest Payment Date, but the Company may indicate in any
            such notice that the election contained therein shall continue for subsequent
            Interest Payment Dates until revised on not less than 20 calendar days notice
            prior to an Interest Payment Date. Failure to timely provide such written
            notice shall be deemed an election by the Company to pay such interest in cash.
            All interest payable on any Interest Payment Date must be paid in the same
            manner.
       

       
                 
                 (b)   Notwithstanding the foregoing,
            the Company may not pay interest in shares of Common Stock unless, on the
            Interest Payment Date, the Equity Conditions are satisfied with respect to all
            of the Underlying Shares then issuable upon conversion in full of all
            outstanding Secured Debentures. If the Company is required but fails to pay
            interest in cash on any Interest Payment Date, the Holder may (but shall not be
            required to), by notice to the Company, treat such interest as if it had been
            accreted to the principal amount of this Secured Debenture as of such Interest
            Payment Date.
       

       
                 4. Registration of Secured
            Debentures. The Company shall register the Secured Debentures upon records
            to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Secured Debenture
            Register") in the name of each record holder thereof from time to time. The
            Company may deem and treat the registered Holder as the absolute owner hereof
            for the purpose of any conversion hereof or any payment of interest hereon, and
            for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
       

       
                 5. Registration of Transfers and
            Exchanges. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this
            Secured Debenture in the Secured Debenture Register upon surrender of this
            Secured Debenture to the Company at its address for notice set forth herein.
            Upon any such registration or transfer, a new debenture, in substantially the
            form of this Secured Debenture (any such new debenture, a "New Secured
            Debenture"), evidencing the portion of this Secured Debenture so
            transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Secured Debenture
            evidencing the remaining portion of this Secured Debenture not so transferred,
            if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New
            Secured Debenture by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by
            such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Secured
            Debenture. This Secured Debenture is exchangeable for an
       

       
            -9-
       

       
       
            equal aggregate principal amount of Secured Debentures of different
            authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No
            service charge or other fee will be imposed in connection with any such
            registration of transfer or exchange. Transfers of this Secured Debenture and
            the Underlying Shares issuable on conversion thereof hereby are governed by
            Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement.
       

       
                 6. Conversion 
       

       
                 
                 (a)  At the option of the
            Holder. The principal amount of this Secured Debenture then outstanding is
            convertible into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price (subject to
            limitations set forth in Section 6(d)), at the option of the Holder, at any
            time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date. Holders
            shall effect conversions under this Section 6(a), by delivering to the Company
            a Holder Conversion Notice together with a schedule in the form of Schedule
            1 attached hereto (the "Conversion Schedule"). The number of
            Underlying Shares issuable upon any conversion hereunder shall (subject to
            limitations set forth in Section 6(d)) equal the outstanding principal amount
            of this Secured Debenture to be converted divided by the Initial Conversion
            Price. If the Holder is converting less than all of the principal amount
            represented by this Secured Debenture, or if a conversion hereunder may not be
            effected in full due to the application of Section 6(d)(i), the Company shall
            honor such conversion to the extent permissible hereunder and shall promptly
            deliver to the Holder a Conversion Schedule indicating the principal amount
            which has not been converted.
       

       
                       (b)
              At the option of the Company. Subject to the conditions set
            forth in this Section 6(b) and Section 6(d), at any time after the first year
            anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Company may require a conversion,
            at the Conversion Price and on the Company Conversion Date, of all or a portion
            of the outstanding principal amount of this Secured Debenture if: (i) both: (A)
            the average of the Closing Prices during any 30 consecutive Trading Days is
            equal to or greater than $5.10 (subject to equitable adjustments for stock
            splits, recapitalizations and similar events) and (B) the Closing Price for
            each of 15 Trading Days (which need not be consecutive) during such 30
            consecutive Trading Day period is equal to or greater than $5.10 (subject to
            equitable adjustments for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events)
            and (ii) all of the Equity Conditions are satisfied as of the Company
            Conversion Date with respect to all of the Underlying Shares potentially
            issuable in connection with such proposed conversion. The Company shall
            exercise its right to require conversions hereunder by delivering to the Holder
            a Company Conversion Notice together with a Conversion Schedule within 10
            Business Days of the satisfaction of the condition set forth in clause (i) of
            the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
            contrary, if any of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) herein
            shall cease to be in effect during the period between the date of the delivery
            of the Company Conversion Notice and the Company Conversion Date, then the
            Holder subject to such conversion may elect, by written notice to the Company
            given at any time after any such conditions shall cease to be in effect, to
            invalidate ab initio such conversion. The number of Underlying Shares
            issuable upon any conversion hereunder shall (subject to limitations set forth
            in Section 6(d)) equal the outstanding principal amount of this Secured
            Debenture to be converted (including any interest payments accreted to
            principal pursuant to the terms hereof) divided by the Initial Conversion
            Price. The conversion subject to each Company Conversion Notice, once given,
            shall be irrevocable as to the
       

       
            -10-
       

       
       
            Company. If the conversion of a principal amount of Secured Debentures
            indicated in a Company Conversion Notice would result in the issuance to the
            Holder of Underlying Shares in excess of the amount permitted pursuant to
            Section 6(d)(i), the Holder shall notify the Company of this fact and the
            Company shall: (x) honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount of
            Secured Debentures permitted, pursuant to Section 6(d)(i), to be converted on
            such Company Conversion Date and (y) cancel the Company Conversion Notice with
            respect to the portion of the principal amount of Secured Debentures the
            conversion of which would violate Section 6(d)(i). Notwithstanding anything
            herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be entitled to deliver a Company
            Conversion Notice prior to the 10th Business Day following the
            delivery of a company conversion notice pursuant to any Debenture.
       

       
                 
                 (c)  Company’s option to adjust
            Conversion Price and force conversion. At any time and from time to time
            after the date the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Underlying
            Shares issuable upon conversion of the Secured Debentures has been declared
            effective by the Commission, the Company shall have the option, upon the
            delivery of an Adjustment Notice to the Holder, to adjust the Conversion Price
            then in effect with respect to the Mandatory Convertible Amount applicable to
            such Adjustment Notice to equal the lesser of: (A) the Initial Conversion Price
            and (B) the product of (x) the applicable Adjustment Percentage and (y) the
            Index Price. Subject to the terms hereof (including, without limitation,
            Section 6(d)(i)), on each Adjustment Date immediately following the delivery of
            an Adjustment Notice, the applicable Mandatory Convertible Amount shall be
            converted into Underlying Shares at the Conversion Price as adjusted on such
            Adjustment Date pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding sentence,
            provided, that such conversion shall only occur if all of the Equity
            Conditions are satisfied as of the Adjustment Date with respect to all of the
            Underlying Shares potentially issuable in connection with such proposed
            conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall
            not be entitled to deliver an Adjustment Notice prior to the tenth
            (10th) Trading Day immediately following the immediately preceding
            Delivery Date hereunder or a delivery date under any Debenture. If a conversion
            of the Mandatory Convertible Amount would result in the issuance to the Holder
            of Underlying Shares in excess of the amount permitted pursuant to Section
            6(d)(i), the Holder shall notify the Company of this fact and the Company
            shall: (x) honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount of Secured
            Debentures permitted, pursuant to Section 6(d)(i), to be converted on the
            applicable Adjustment Date and (y) cancel the portion of the Mandatory
            Convertible Amount the conversion of which would violate Section 6(d)(i).
       

       
                 
                 (d)  Certain Conversion
            Restrictions
       

       
                 
                   (i)  Notwithstanding
            anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock
            that may be acquired by a Holder upon any conversion of Secured Debentures (or
            otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure
            that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares
            of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and
            any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be
            aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the
            Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.999% of the total number of issued and
            outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
            Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial
            ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
            Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
       

       
            -11-
       

       
       
            thereunder. Each delivery of a Holder Conversion Notice hereunder will
            constitute a representation by the applicable Holder that it has evaluated the
            limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that issuance of the full
            number of Underlying Shares issuable in respect of such Conversion Notice does
            not violate the restriction contained in this paragraph. This provision shall
            not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or
            beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other
            consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a merger, sale or
            other business combination or reclassification involving the Company as
            contemplated herein.
       

       
                 
                   (ii)  [intentionally left
            blank].
       

       
                       (e)
              Mechanics of Conversion. By the third Trading Day after each
            Conversion Date, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued and cause to be
            delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names
            as the Holder may designate a certificate for the Underlying Shares issuable
            upon such conversion which, unless required by the Purchase Agreement, shall be
            free of all restrictive legends. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the
            Holder to receive Underlying Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder
            of record of such Underlying Shares as of the Conversion Date. If the
            Company’s transfer agent is eligible to participate in the Depositary
            Trust Corporation DWAC system and no legends are required to be included on the
            certificates representing Underlying Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
            the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver
            Underlying Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust
            Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar
            functions.
       

       
                       (f)  To
            effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically
            surrender this Secured Debenture unless the aggregate principal amount
            represented by such Secured Debenture is being converted, in which event, the
            Holder shall deliver such Secured Debenture promptly to the Company (it being
            understood that such delivery is not a condition precedent to the
            Company’s obligations to deliver Underlying Shares upon such conversion).
            Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding
            principal amount represented by such Secured Debenture in an amount equal to
            the applicable conversion, which shall be evidenced by entries set forth in the
            Conversion Schedule which will be maintained by the Company and the Holder and
            be binding on both parties absent manifest error.
       

       
                  
                 (g)  The Company’s obligations to
            issue and deliver Underlying Shares upon conversion of this Secured Debenture
            in accordance with the terms hereof (including, without limitations, Section
            6(d)) are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by
            the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any
            provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action
            to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or
            termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person
            of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law
            by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance
            which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in
            connection with the issuance of such Underlying Shares.
       

       
            -12-
       

       
       
                       (h)  
            If by the third Trading Day after a Conversion Date the Company fails to
            deliver to the Holder such Underlying Shares in such amounts and in the manner
            required pursuant to Section 6(e), then the Holder will have the right to
            rescind such conversion.
       

       
                       (i)  
            If by the third Trading Day after a Conversion Date the Company fails to
            deliver to the Holder such Underlying Shares in such amounts and in the manner
            required pursuant to Section 6(e), and if after such third Trading Day the
            Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of 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 Company 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 shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y)
            the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of Underlying
            Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection
            with the conversion at issue by (2) the Closing Price at the time of the
            obligation giving rise to such purchase obligation and (B) at the option of the
            Holder, either reinstate the principal amount of Secured Debentures and
            equivalent number of Underlying Shares for which such conversion was not timely
            honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that
            would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and
            delivery obligations hereunder. 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 Secured Debentures with a market price on the
            date of conversion totaling $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
            preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The
            Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
            to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
       

       
                       (j)  Adjustments
            to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price in effect on any Conversion Date
            shall be subject to adjustments in accordance with this Section 6(j):
       

       
                 
                    (i)  Stock
            Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while any Secured
            Debentures are outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or
            otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
            shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into
            a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock
            into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price
            shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
            shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
            the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
            immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of
            this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
            determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
            distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this
            paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such
            subdivision or combination.
       

       
                 
                    (ii)  Additional
            Distributions. If the Company, at any time while any Secured Debentures are
            outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to
            Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to
            subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion
            Price at which the principal amount of Secured Debentures shall thereafter be
            convertible shall be determined by multiplying
       

       
            -13-
       

       
       
            the 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 Price determined as of
            the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such
            Closing 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 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 Holders 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.
       

       
                 
                    (iii)  Subsequent
            Equity Sales. If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at
            any time while this Secured Debenture is outstanding, shall issue shares of
            Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares
            of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Conversion Price (if the
            holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any
            time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions,
            floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to
            warrants, options or rights issued in connection with such issuance, be
            entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Conversion
            Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the
            Conversion Price), then, at the option of the Holder for such conversions as it
            shall indicate, the 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 Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the
            Trading 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. No further adjustments shall be made to the Conversion Price
            upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exercise of the
            applicable Common Stock Equivalent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
            adjustment will be made under this Section 6(j)(iii) in respect of:
       

       
                 
                        (A) Any
            grant of an option or warrant for Common Stock or issuance of any shares of
            Common Stock upon the exercise of any options or warrants to employees,
            officers and directors of or consultants to the Company pursuant to any stock
            option plan, employee stock purchase plan or similar plan or incentive or
            consulting arrangement approved by the Company’s board of directors;
       

       
                 
                        (B) Any
            rights or agreements to purchase Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on the
            date hereof and as specified in Schedule 3.1(g) to the Purchase Agreement (but
            not as to any amendments or other modifications to the number of Common Stock
            issuable thereunder, the terms set forth therein, or the exercise price set
            forth therein);
       

       
                 
                        (C) Any
            Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued for consideration other than
            cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other
       

       
            -14-
       

       
       
            similar business combination;
       

       
                 
                        (D) Any
            issuances of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to a Person which is or
            will be, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business
            related to or complementary with the business of the Company and in which the
            Company receives reasonably material benefits in addition to the investment of
            funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing
            securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose
            primary business is investing in securities;
       

       
                 
                        (E) Any
            Common Stock Equivalents that entitle the holders thereof to acquire up to
            500,000 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any equipment leasing
            arrangement;
       

       
                 
                        (F) Any
            Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued to pay all or a portion of any
            investment banking, finders or similar fee or commission, which entitles the
            holders thereof to acquire shares of Common Stock at a price not less than the
            market price of the Common Stock on the date of such issuance and which is not
            subject to any adjustments other than on account of stock splits and reverse
            stock splits;
       

       
                 
                        (G) A
            bona fide underwritten public offering of the Common Stock resulting in gross
            proceeds in excess of $15 million to the Company (it being understood that
            equity line transactions, including any on going warrant financing, or any
            similar arrangements shall not constitute a bona fide underwritten public
            offering of the Common Stock for the purposes hereof);
       

       
                 
                        (H) Any
            adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 6(c); or
       

       
                 
                        (I) The
            issuance of any Debentures or Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or
            the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion and exercise,
            respectively, of Debentures and Warrants or upon exercise of warrants issued by
            the Company on June 19, 2002 to Pine Ridge Financial, Inc. and ZLP Master
            Technology Fund, Ltd.
       

       
                 
                    (iv)  Calculations.
            All calculations under this Section 6(j) shall be made to the nearest cent or
            the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of
            Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or
            held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such
            shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
       

       
                 
                    (v)   Notice of
            Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to the
            terms hereof the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder, a notice setting
            forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
            statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
       

       
                       (k)  
            Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Secured Debenture is
            outstanding: (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
            with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or
            substantially all of its
       

       
            -15-
       

       
       
       

       
            assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer
            or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed
            pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange
            their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company
            effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
            exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or
            exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a
            "Fundamental Transaction"), then the Holder shall have the right
            thereafter to receive, upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount of
            this Secured Debenture, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or
            property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such
            Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental
            Transaction, the holder of the number of Underlying Shares then issuable upon
            conversion in full of the outstanding principal amount of this Secured
            Debenture (the "Alternate Consideration"). For purposes of any such
            exercise, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately
            adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of
            Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in
            such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion
            Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the
            relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If
            holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or
            property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be
            given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any
            conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Secured Debenture
            following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder's option and request, any
            successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction
            shall, either (i) issue to the Holder a new debenture substantially in the form
            of this Secured Debenture and consistent with the foregoing provisions
            (omitting Section 6(j)(iii) hereof) and evidencing the Holder's right to
            purchase the Alternate Consideration at the Conversion Price upon conversion
            thereof, or (ii) purchase the Secured Debenture from the Holder for a purchase
            price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if
            later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the
            Black Scholes value of the remaining unconverted portion of the outstanding
            principal amount of this Secured Debenture (together with any accrued but
            unpaid interest thereon) on the date of the Fundamental Transaction as well as
            assumptions reasonably mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder,
            provided that for purposes of such calculation, the market price of the Common
            Stock shall be the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
            immediately preceding the public announcement of the Fundamental Transaction
            and the volatility factor shall be determined by reference to the 12 month
            average industry volatility measures. The terms of any agreement pursuant to
            which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any
            such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this
            paragraph (k) and insuring that the Secured Debenture (or any such replacement
            security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous
            to a Fundamental Transaction.
       

       
                       (l)  
            Reclassifications; Share Exchanges. 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 (other than
            compulsory share exchanges which constitute Change of Control Transactions),
            the Holders of the Secured Debentures then outstanding shall have the right
            thereafter to convert such shares only into the shares of stock and other
            securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders
            of Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the
            Holders shall be entitled upon
       

       
            -16-
       

       
       
            such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or property as a
            holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such
            shares of Secured Debentures could have been converted immediately prior to
            such reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled. This
            provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or share
            exchanges.
       

       
                       (m)  Notice
            of Corporate Events. If (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any
            other distribution) on the Common Stock, (b) the Company shall declare a
            special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (c)
            the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of 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 Company
            shall be required in connection with any Change of Control transaction or
            Fundamental Transaction, (e) the entering into an agreement to effectuate a
            Change of Control transaction or Fundamental Transaction, or (f) the Company
            shall authorize the Liquidation of the Company; then the Company shall file a
            press release or Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose such occurrence and
            notify the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock
            books of the Company, at least 20 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 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 any such Change of Control transaction or Fundamental Transaction
            is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
            expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange
            their Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon any
            such Change of Control Transaction or Fundamental Transaction. Holders are
            entitled to convert principal amount of this Secured Debenture during the
            20-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the
            event triggering such notice.
       

       
                       (n)  The
            Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of
            its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of
            issuance upon conversion of Secured Debentures, each as herein provided, free
            from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of
            persons other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of Common
            Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding principal
            amount of Secured Debentures. The Company covenants that all shares of Common
            Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly
            authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
       

       
                       (o)  Upon
            a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock
            certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may if
            otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a
            share based on the Closing Price on the applicable Conversion Date. If any
            fraction of an Underlying Share would, except for the provisions of this
            Section 6(o), be issuable upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall pay an
            amount in cash equal to the Conversion Price multiplied by such fraction.
       

       
                       (p)  The
            issuance of certificates for Common Stock on conversion of principal amount of
            this Secured Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof
       

       
            -17-
       

       
       
            for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect
            of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company 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 Secured Debentures so
            converted.
       

       
                       (q)  Any
            and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the
            Holders, including, without limitation, any Conversion Notice, shall be in
            writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or sent by a nationally
            recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the attention of the Chief
            Financial Officer of the Company addressed to 1 Industrial Way West, Eatontown,
            New Jersey, Facsimile No.: (732) 542-4010, or to such other address or
            facsimile number as shall be specified in writing by the Company for such
            purpose. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be
            provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally,
            by facsimile or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service,
            addressed to each Holder at the facsimile telephone number or address of such
            Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such facsimile telephone
            number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the Holder.
            Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given
            and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice
            or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number

               7.  Automatic Exchange of Principal Amount
            of Secured Debentures
       

       
                 
                       (a)  If,
            at any time and from time to time, subsequent to a conversion of the
            outstanding principal amount of either Unsecured Debentures or Exchange
            Debentures (collectively, the “Target Debentures”) both: (x)
            the outstanding principal amount of the last-issued Target Debentures then held
            by the Holder is less than $1,000,000 and (y) the Additional Registration
            Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) filed pursuant to
            the Registration Rights Agreement in connection with the occurrence of the
            event described in clause (x) has been declared effective by the Commission and
            is not subject to any actual or threatened stop order or suspension, then the
            lesser of: (i) $3,000,000 principal amount of Secured Debentures plus accrued
            and unpaid interest thereon and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of
            Secured Debentures and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be
            automatically exchanged for an Exchange Debenture in an equal aggregate
            principal amount.
       

       
                 
                 (b)   In order to effectuate such
            automatic exchanges, upon the occurrence of the conditions set forth in Section
            7(a), the Holder shall promptly tender to the Company this Secured Debenture
            and the Company shall promptly tender to the Holder an Exchange Debenture in
            the aggregate principal amount of the principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid
            interest) of Secured Debenture being exchanged and (if applicable) a new
            Secured Debenture reflecting the principal amount not being exchanged. The date
            a Holder receives such
       

       
            -18-
       

       
       
            Exchange Debentures shall be referred to as an “Exchange
            Date.” Each Exchange Debenture issued pursuant to this Section 7 will
            mature on the ninth (9th) month anniversary of the applicable
            Exchange Date, provided, that such maturity date may be extended by
            mutual consent of the Holder and the Company on six occasions by 30 days.
       

       
                 8.   Prepayments Upon Events
            of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Holder shall
            (in addition to all other rights it may have hereunder or under applicable
            law), have the right exercisable at the sole option of such Holder, and by
            delivery of a written notice to the Company to require the Company (an
            "Event of Default Notice"), to prepay all or a portion of the Secured
            Debentures then held by such Holder and, at the option of the Holder, all or a
            portion of the Reinstated Principal, for an amount, in cash, equal to the
            Mandatory Prepayment Amount. The Mandatory Prepayment Amount shall be due and
            payable within five Trading Days of the date of the Event of Default Notice.
            For purposes of this Section 8, principal amount of Secured Debentures shall
            remain outstanding until such date as the Holder shall have received Underlying
            Shares upon a conversion (or attempted conversion) thereof that meets the
            requirements hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the
            occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event, all outstanding principal and accrued but
            unpaid interest on this Secured Debenture shall immediately become due and
            payable in full in cash, without any further action by the Holder, and the
            Company shall immediately be obligated to pay the Mandatory Prepayment Amount
            pursuant to this paragraph as if the Holder had delivered a Event of Default
            Notice immediately prior to the occurrence of any such Event of Default. The
            Holder need not provide and the Company 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.
       

       
                 9.  Other Prepayments
       

       
                 
                 (a)  Prepayment at the Option of the
            Company.
       

       
                 
                      (i)  At
            any time following the Original Issue Date and prior to the Maturity Date, upon
            delivery of a written notice to the Holder (a “Company Prepayment
            Notice” and the date such notice is delivered by the Company, the
            “Company Notice Date”), the Company shall be entitled to
            prepay a principal amount of Secured Debentures equal to the lesser of (x) the
            aggregate outstanding principal amount of Secured Debentures then held by the
            Holder and (y) the principal amount of Secured Debentures which may be
            converted without violation of Section 6(d)(i), in either case, for an amount
            in cash equal to the Company Prepayment Price. The Holder may convert any
            portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Debentures subject
            to a Company Prepayment Notice prior to the date that the Company Prepayment
            Price is due and paid in full. Once delivered, the Company shall not be
            entitled to rescind a Company Prepayment Notice.
       

       
                 
                      (ii)  The
            Company Prepayment Price shall be due on the 30th Trading Day
            immediately following the Company Notice Date. Any such prepayment shall be
       

       
            -19-
       

       
       
            free of any claim of subordination. If any portion of the Company
            Prepayment Price shall not be timely paid by the Company, interest shall accrue
            thereon at the rate of 12% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by
            applicable law, whichever is less) until the Company Prepayment Price plus all
            such interest is paid in full, which payment shall constitute liquidated
            damages and not a penalty. In addition, if any portion of the Company
            Prepayment Price remains unpaid after such date, the Holder subject to such
            prepayment may elect by written notice to the Company to invalidate ab
            initio such Company Prepayment Notice with respect to the unpaid amount,
            notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary. If the Holder makes
            such an election, this Secured Debenture shall be reinstated with respect to
            such unpaid amount and the Company shall no longer have any prepayment rights
            under this Section 9.
       

       
                       (b)  Prepayment
            at the Option of the Holder.
       

       
                 
                     (i)  At any
            time following June 30, 2003 and prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder shall
            have the right, exercisable at the sole option of the Holder, and by delivery
            of a written notice (a “Holder Prepayment Notice” and the date
            such notice is delivered by the Holder, the “Holder Notice
            Date”) to the Company, to require the Company to prepay all or a
            portion of the Secured Debentures then held by the Holder for an amount in
            cash, equal to the Holder Prepayment Price which shall be due and payable on
            the 20th Trading Day following the Holder Notice Date.
            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall only be
            entitled to deliver a Holder Prepayment Notice pursuant to the terms hereof if:
            (x) on or prior to June 30, 2003, there has not occurred an automatic exchange
            pursuant to Section 7 hereof for a minimum of $3,000,000 of aggregate principal
            amount of Secured Debentures, provided, that such date shall be extended
            to September 30, 2003 if the Company shall have filed the first Additional
            Registration Statement with the Commission, (y) on or prior to December 31,
            2003, there have not occurred automatic exchanges pursuant to Section 7 hereof
            for a minimum of $6,000,000 of aggregate principal amount of Secured Debentures
            or (z) on or prior to June 30, 2004, there have not occurred automatic
            exchanges pursuant to Section 7 hereof for all of the original principal amount
            of Secured Debentures.
       

       
                 
                     (ii)  In
            addition to prepayment rights under Section 9(b)(i), if an Additional
            Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement in
            connection with the occurrence of the event described in Section 7(a)(x) has
            been not been declared effective by the Commission by its applicable
            Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the
            Holder shall have the right, exercisable at the sole option of the Holder, and
            by delivery of Holder Prepayment Notice to the Company, to require the Company
            to prepay all or a portion of the Secured Debentures then held by the Holder
            for an amount in cash, equal to the Holder Prepayment Price which shall be due
            and payable on the 20th Trading Day following the Holder Notice
            Date.
       

       
                 
                     (iii)   If any
            portion of the Holder Prepayment Price due pursuant to the terms hereof remains
            unpaid after the 20th Trading Day following the Holder Notice Date,
            the Holder may elect by written notice to the Company to invalidate ab
            initio such Holder Prepayment Notice with respect to the unpaid amount,
            notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary. If the Holder makes
            such an election, this Secured Debenture shall be reinstated with respect to
            such unpaid amount. For purposes of this Section 9, principal amount of Secured
            Debentures shall remain outstanding until such date as the Holder shall have
            received
       

       
            -20-
       

       
       
            Underlying Shares upon a conversion (or attempted conversion) thereof
            that meets the requirements hereof. The Holder may convert any portion of the
            outstanding principal amount of the Secured Debentures subject to a prepayment
            hereunder prior to the date that the Holder Prepayment Price is due and paid in
            full.
       

       
               10.  Ranking. This Secured Debenture
            ranks pari passu with all other Secured Debentures now or hereafter issued
            pursuant to the Transaction Documents. Except as set forth in Schedule
            3.1(x) to the Purchase Agreement, no indebtedness of the Company is senior
            to this Secured Debenture in right of payment, whether with respect of
            interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise. Other than
            in connection with the Company’s reimbursement obligation to the Bank
            pursuant to the Letter of Credit and except as set forth in Schedule
            3.1(x) to the Purchase Agreement, the Company will not, and will not permit
            any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into, create, incur, assume or
            suffer to exist indebtedness of any kind, on or with respect to any of its
            property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or
            any income or profits therefrom, that is senior in any respect to the
            Company’s obligations under the Secured Debentures.
       

       
               11.  Miscellaneous.
       

       
                       (a)  
            This Secured Debenture shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the
            parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Secured
            Debenture may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder
            and their successors and assigns.
       

       
                       (b)  Subject
            to Section 11(a), above, nothing in this Secured Debenture shall be
            construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal
            or equitable right, remedy or cause under this Secured Debenture. This Secured
            Debenture shall inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the
            Holder.
       

       
                       (c)  
            All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
            interpretation of this Secured Debenture shall be governed by and construed and
            enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without
            regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that
            all Proceedings shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts
            sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York
            Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the
            exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for any proceeding, and hereby
            irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that
            it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any New York Court or that
            a New York Court is an inconvenient forum for such Proceeding. Each party
            hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
            process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via
            registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery)
            to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Secured
            Debenture and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
            service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
            to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
            Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
            applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal Proceeding. If
            either party shall commence a Proceeding, then the prevailing
       

       
            -21-
       

       
       
            party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its
            attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the
            investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.
       

       
                       (d)  The
            headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
            Secured Debenture and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the
            provisions hereof.
       

       
                       (e)  
            In case any one or more of the provisions of this Secured Debenture shall be
            invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the
            remaining terms and provisions of this Secured Debenture shall not in any way
            be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to
            agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially
            reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such
            substitute provision in this Secured Debenture.
       

       
                       (f)  
            No provision of this Secured Debenture may be waived or amended except in a
            written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the
            Holder or, or, in the case of a waiver, by the Holder. No waiver of any default
            with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Secured
            Debenture shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver
            of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or
            requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise
            any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
       

       
                 
                  (g)  If it shall be found that
            any interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the
            applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall be reduced to the maximum
            permitted rate of interest under such law.

                 (h)  Except pursuant to Sections 8 and
            9 hereunder, the outstanding principal amount and interest under this Secured
            Debenture may not be prepaid by the Company without the prior written consent
            of the Holder.
