            A.  The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the
Board, and Options may be issued upon such adoption and from time to time
thereafter; provided, however, that the Plan shall be submitted to the
Company's stockholders for their approval at the next annual meeting of
stockholders, or prior thereto at a special meeting of stockholders expressly
called for such purpose, or by a unanimous consent of all stockholders
executed in writing; and provided further, that the approval of the Company's

meeting by the affirmative vote of a majority of all shares entitled to vote
upon the matter, or by unanimous written consent of all stockholders, then
the Plan and all Options then outstanding shall forthwith automatically
terminate and be of no force and effect.

            B.  Subject to the provisions hereinafter contained relating to
amendment or discontinuance, the Plan shall continue in effect for 10 years
from the date of its adoption by the Board. No Option may be granted
hereunder after such 10-year period.

     4.     ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.  The Plan shall be administered by
the Committee, consisting of not less than two persons, who shall be
directors of the Company, who shall not be employees of the Company, and who
shall be appointed by the Board to serve at the pleasure of the Board. Except
as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and
final authority to interpret the provisions of the Plan and the terms of any
Option issued under it and to promulgate and interpret such rules and
regulations relating to the Plan and Options as it may deem necessary or
desirable for the administration of the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing,
the Committee shall, subject to Section 6 and to the extent and in the manner
contemplated herein, determine who shall receive Options under the Plan and
how many Shares shall be subject to each such Option. The Committee shall
report to the Board the names of those granted Options and the terms and
conditions of each Option granted by it. The Committee may correct any defect
in the Plan or any Option in the manner and to the extent it shall deem
expedient to carry the Plan into effect and shall be the sole and final judge
of such expediency.

            No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken
or omitted or any determination made by him in good faith relating to the
Plan, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the
Committee and each other director or employee of the Company to whom any duty
or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has
been delegated against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or
liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval
of the Committee) arising out of any act or omission in connection with the
Plan, unless arising out of such person's own fraud or bad faith.

     5.     ELIGIBILITY.  The employees and directors of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, who, in the opinion of the Committee, have a capacity for
contributing in a substantial measure to the success of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. No options

                                       3

<PAGE>

intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options shall be granted under the
Plan to any person who, before or after the grant or exercise of any Option,
owns or would own, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, or its parent
or any Subsidiary, or who is not an employee or director of the Company.

     6.     STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.  Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 13 hereof, Options may be granted pursuant to the Plan with respect
to a number of shares that, in the aggregate, does not exceed Six Hundred
Thousand (600,000) Shares.

     7.     OPTIONS.

            A.  All Options granted under the Plan shall be clearly
identified either as Incentive Stock Options or as Nonqualified Stock
Options. All Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by agreements
in such form, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may adopt for
general use or for specific use from time to time. An Option shall be deemed
"granted" under the Plan on the date on which the Committee, by appropriate
action, awards the Option to a Participant, or on such subsequent date as the
Committee may designate.

            B.  (i)    The aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect
to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are exercisable for
the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and
any other stock option plan of the Company (and its parent and subsidiary
corporations as those terms are used in Section 422 of the Code) shall not
exceed $100,000. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on
which each such Incentive Stock Option is granted. To the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to such Incentive Stock
Options exceeds $100,000, such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as
Nonqualified Options, but all other terms and provisions of such Incentive
Stock Options shall remain unchanged.

                (ii)   Subparagraph (i) of this Paragraph B shall be applied
by taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted.

     8.     OPTION PRICE. The price per share at which Shares may be
purchased pursuant to any Option granted under the Plan shall be not less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is
granted.

     9.     DURATION OF OPTIONS.  No Option granted hereunder shall be
exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date such Option was
granted. All Options shall be subject to earlier termination as provided
elsewhere in the Plan.

     10.    CONDITIONS RELATING TO EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

                                       4

<PAGE>

            A.  The Board may, at its discretion, provide that an Option may
not be exercised in whole or in part for any period or periods of time
specified in the Option agreement. Except as provided in the Option
agreement, an Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during
its term. No Option may be exercised for a fractional share of stock.

            B.  No Option shall be transferable by a Participant otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and Options shall be
exercisable during the lifetime of a Participant only by such Participant.

            C.  An Option shall be exercised by the delivery to the Company
of a written notice signed by the Participant, which specifics the number of
Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and the date of
the proposed exercise. Such notice shall be delivered to the Company's
principal office, to the attention of its Secretary, no less than three
business days in advance of the date of the proposed exercise and shall be
accompanied by the applicable option certificate evidencing the Option. A
Participant may withdraw such notice at any time prior to the close of
business on the proposed date of exercise, in which case the option
certificate evidencing the Option shall be returned to the Participant.

            D.  Payment for Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall
be made at the time of exercise either in cash, by certified check or bank
cashier's check or in Shares owned by the Participant and valued at their Fair
Market Value on the date of exercise, or partly in Shares with the balance in
cash or by certified check or bank cashier's check. Any payment in Shares
shall be effected by their delivery to the Secretary of the Company, endorsed
in blank or accompanied by stock powers executed in blank.

            E.  Certificates for Shares purchased upon exercise of Options
shall be issued and delivered as soon as practicable following the date the
Option is exercised. Certificates for Shares purchased upon exercise of
Options shall be issued in the name of the Participant.

            F.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, no Option
may be exercised unless and until the shares to be issued upon the exercise
thereof have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable
state securities laws, or are, in the opinion of counsel to the Company,
exempt from such registration. Prior to the occurrence of a change in
Control, the Company shall not be under any obligation to register under
applicable federal or state securities laws any Shares to be issued upon the
exercise of an Option granted hereunder, or to comply with an appropriate
exemption from registration under such laws in order to permit the exercise of
an Option and the issuance and sale of the Shares subject to such Option. If
the Company chooses to comply with such an exemption from registration, the
shares issued under the Plan may, at the discretion of the Committee, bear an
appropriate restrictive legend restricting the transfer or pledge of the
Shares represented thereby, and the Committee may also give appropriate
stop-transfer instructions to the transfer agent to the Company. On or after
the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall be under an obligation
to register under applicable Federal or state securities law any Shares to

                                       5

<PAGE>

be issued upon the exercise of an Option granted hereunder, or to comply with
an appropriate exemption from registration under state or Federal securities
laws in order to permit the exercise of an Option and the issuance and sale
of the Shares subject to such Option.

            G.  Any person exercising an Option or transferring or receiving
Shares shall comply with all regulations and requirements of any governmental
authority having jurisdiction over the issuance, transfer, or sale of capital
stock of the Company, and as a condition to receiving any Shares, shall
execute all such instruments as the Company in its sole discretion may deem
necessary or advisable.

            H.  Notwithstanding Paragraph A of this Section 10, the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the date on which any Option granted
under the Plan, and outstanding at such time, shall became exercisable.

            I.  Notwithstanding Paragraph A of this Section 10, upon the
occurrence of a Change in Control any Option granted under the Plan and
outstanding at such time shall become fully and immediately exercisable and
shall remain exercisable until its expiration or termination as provided in
the Plan.

            J.  In the event of termination of a Participant's employment by
reason of such Participant's retirement in accordance with an applicable
retirement plan, any outstanding Option held by such Participant shall be or
immediately become fully exercisable as to the total number of Shares subject
thereto (whether or not exercisable to that extent prior to termination of
employment) and shall remain so exercisable but only for a period of three
months after commencement of such retirement, at the end of which time it
shall terminate (unless such Option expires earlier by its terms).

            K.  In the event of termination of a Participant's employment by
reason of such Participant's disability within the meaning of Section
22(e)(3) of the Code, any outstanding Option held by such Participant shall
be or immediately become fully exercisable as to the total number of Shares
subject thereto (whether or not exercisable to that extent prior to
termination of employment) and shall remain so exercisable but only for a
period of one year after termination of employment for such disability, at
the end of which time it shall terminate (unless such Option expires earlier
by its terms).

            L.  In the event of the death of any Participant (including death
during an approved leave of absence or following a Participant's retirement
or disability, any Option then held by him which shall not have lapsed or
terminated prior to his death shall be or immediately become fully
exercisable by the executors, administrators, legatees, or distributees of his
estate, as may be appropriate, as to the total number of Shares subject
thereto (whether or not exercisable to that extent at the time of death) and
shall remain so exercisable but only for a period of one year after death, at
the end of which time it shall terminate (unless such Option expires earlier
by its terms).

                                       6

<PAGE>

            M.  In the event of the termination of the Participant's
employment otherwise than as described in paragraphs J, K and L, any
outstanding Option held by such Participant shall be exercisable to the
extent exercisable at the time of such termination and remain so exercisable
for a period of 30 days following such termination. Whether an authorized
leave of absence, or absence in military or government service, shall
constitute termination of employment shall be determined by the Committee.

     11.    NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.  Nothing contained in the Plan or any
Option shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the
continuation of his employment by the Company or interfere in any way with
the right of the Company, subject to the terms of any separate employment
agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or to
increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in
existence at the time of the grant of an Option.

     12.    RIGHTS OF A STOCKHOLDER. No person shall have any rights with
respect to any Shares covered by or relating to any grant hereunder of an
Option until the date of issuance of a certificate to him evidencing such
shares.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, no adjustment
to any Option shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the
record date occurs prior to the date such certificate is issued.

     13.    ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN CAPITAL STOCK.

            A.  If the capital stock of the Company shall be subdivided or
combined, whether by reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse
stock split or other similar transaction, then the number of shares
authorized under the Plan, the number of shares then subject to or relating
to unexercised Options granted hereunder and the exercise price per Share will
be adjusted proportionately. A stock dividend shall be treated as a
subdivision of the whole number of shares equal to such whole number of
shares so outstanding plus the number of Shares issued as a stock dividend.

            B.  In the case of any capital reorganization or any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (except pursuant to a
transaction described in Paragraph A of this Section 13) (a
"Reorganization"), appropriate adjustment may be made by the Committee in the
number and class of shares authorized to be issued under the Plan and the
number and class of shares subject to or relating to Options awarded under
the Plan and outstanding at the time of such Reorganization.

            C.  Each Participant will be notified of any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 13 and any such adjustment, or the failure to make
such adjustment, shall be binding on the Participant.

            D.  Except as expressly set forth herein, the number and kind of
Shares subject to Options, shall not be affected by any transaction
(including, without limitation, any merger,

                                       7

<PAGE>

recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, issuance of stock or similar
transaction) affecting the capital stock of the Company and no Participant
shall be entitled to any additional Options on account thereof.

     14.    WITHHOLDING TAXES.

            A.  Whenever Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of an
Option, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit
to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local
withholding tax requirements, if any, prior to the delivery of any
certificate or certificates for such shares.

            B.  Notwithstanding Paragraph A of this Section 14, at the
election of a Participant, subject to the approval of the Committee, when
shares are to be issued upon the exercise of an Option, the Participant may
tender to the Company a number of Shares, or the Company shall withhold a
number of such shares, the Fair Market Value of which is sufficient to
satisfy the Federal, state and local tax requirements, if any, attributable
to such exercise or occurrence. The Committee hereby grants its approval to
any election made pursuant to this Paragraph B, but reserves the right, in
its absolute discretion, to withdraw such approval in case of any such
election effective upon its delivery of notice thereof to the Participant.

            C.  Notwithstanding Paragraph E of Section 10 hereof, if a
Participant subject to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act
who has not made an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code, makes an
election described in Paragraph B of this Section 14 to have Shares withheld
with respect to an Option, then the Company shall hold as custodian for the
Participant certificates evidencing the total number of Shares required to be
issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option until the expiration of six
months following the date of such exercise. Upon the expiration of such
six-month period, the Company shall deliver to such Participant certificates
evidencing such Shares minus a number of such Shares, the Fair Market Value
of which on the date on which such period expires is sufficient to satisfy
the Federal, state and local tax requirements attributable to such exercise.

            D.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, an
individual who is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, may not make
either of the elections described in Paragraph B of this Section 14 prior to
the expiration of six months after the date on which the applicable Option was
granted. Such elections must be made either (i) during the 10-day window
period described in Section(e)(3)(iii) of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under such
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or (ii) at least six months prior to the
date as of which the income attributable to the exercise of the related
Option is recognized under the Code. Such elections shall be irrevocable and
shall be made by the delivery to the Company's principal office, to the
attention of its Secretary, of a written notice signed by Participant.

discontinue, modify or amend the Plan in any respect whatsoever except that
the Board may not suspend, discontinue, modify or amend the Plan so as to
adversely affect the rights of a Participant with respect to any grants that
have theretofore been made to such Participant without such Participant's
approval.

            B.  No amendment to or modification of the Plan which (i)
materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants; (ii) except as

Committee but does not require their exercise nor shall any person, by reason
of the adoption of the Plan, be deemed to be entitled to the grant of any
Option; nor shall any rights be deemed to accrue under the Plan except as
Options may be granted hereunder.

            B.  All rights hereunder shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of Delaware.

records, shall be borne by the Company.

election to issue a Debenture, it will tender to Ceatech, in cash or other form
of immediately available funds, sufficient funds for purchase of the portion of
such Debentures to be issued. Within three business days following receipt by
Ceatech of the purchase funds, Ceatech shall issue to Hibiscus a Debenture

Warrants, issued upon conversion of the Debentures) may not be sold,
transferred, or otherwise disposed of in the public market without registration
under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws, or an
exemption therefrom, unless restrictions under said Rule 144 have expired.

                                           7.75% Interest

       CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT AQUACULTURE TECHNOLOGY, INC., a Colorado
corporation, hereinafter called "Ceatech", for value received, hereby promises
to pay to HIBISCUS INVESTMENTS, INC. ("Hibiscus"), or the registered holder
hereof, upon presentation of this Debenture at the office of Ceatech in the City
of Honolulu, Hawaii, United States of America, the principal sum of

                                                                          4

FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00), on or before the date
due set forth above, being eighty-four (84) months after the date of the
Subscription Agreement hereinafter described, in legal of the United States
of America, and to pay interest on the principal sum at the rate of seven and
three quarters of one percent (7.75%) per annum, from date of issue until
payment of the principal sum has been duly tendered. The interest so payable
hereunder shall be paid to the person in whose name this Debenture is
registered with Ceatech.

       1.     General. This Debenture is one of two duly authorized Debentures
of Ceatech, designated as its 7.75% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, (the
Debentures") limited to $1,000,000.00 aggregate principal amount, all issued or
to be issued, pursuant to the terms of a "Convertible Debenture Subscription
Agreement" dated March 22, 2000, between Ceatech and Hibiscus ("Subscription
Agreement"), and under and pursuant to exemptions from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to Section 3(b) and/or Section 4(2) thereof,
and pursuant to an exemption under Section 304 of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939.

       This Debenture shall be signed on behalf of Ceatech by its President or a
Vice-President and by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. No instrument in
the form of this Debenture will  be valid for any purpose unless it shall bear
such signatures, manually signed. Such signatures shall be conclusive evidence
that this Debenture was duly executed and delivered.

       Interest shall be payable quarterly on the last day of each calendar
quarter during the term of this Debenture to the registered holder hereof on
each such date, as shown on registry maintained by Ceatech, unless and until
this Debenture is earlier redeemed or converted as hereinafter provided.

       Ceatech shall keep a register in which, subject to such reasonable
procedures as it may prescribe, Ceatech shall register Debentures and shall
register the transfer of Debentures. Upon due presentment of any Debenture to
Ceatech for registration of transfer, Ceatech shall execute, register and
deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debenture for the
principal amount.

       2.     Redemption. This Debenture shall be redeemable at the option of
Ceatech only as a whole and not in part, on not less than 30 days nor more than
60 days notice at a price equal to 100% of the

                                                                          5
<PAGE>

original purchase price, with all interest accrued to the redemption date.
Furthermore, if two Debentures have been issued pursuant to the Subscription
Agreement, redemption of the Debentures must be in the order of issuance.

       In the event Ceatech intends to exercise its right to redeem this
Debenture, Ceatech shall fix a date for redemption and shall mail a notice of it
intent to redeem at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed
for redemption to the registered holder of the Debenture at the last address of
the holder, as it appears on Ceatech's register. Such mailing shall be by first
class mail. Notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder
receives such notice.

       Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for
redemption, and shall state that the payment of the redemption price of the
Debenture, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption,
shall be made at the principal office of Ceatech, or at such other place
designated by Ceatech, upon presentation and surrender of such Debenture, and
that from and after such date interest thereon will cease to accrue.

       3.     Conversion Privilege and Price. The registered holder of this
Debenture shall have the right, at the holder's option, at any time following
the date which is three months after the date of issuance and which is prior to
the date of payment of the full redemption price hereof, to convert the whole of
this Debenture, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, into fully
paid and nonassessable Units, each of which consists of one share of Ceatech
Common Stock and one Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant entitling the holder
thereof to purchase an additional share of Ceatech Common Stock at a price of
$2.00 within two years of the date of issuance of the Warrant. The number of
Units into which this Debenture may be converted ("Conversion Units") shall be
determined by dividing the aggregate principal amount hereof, together with all
accrued interest to the date of conversion by the applicable Conversion Price
(as defined below) in effect at the time of such conversion. The Conversion
Price shall be equal to $1.00 per Unit.

       In case this Debenture is called for redemption by Ceatech and payment of
the full redemption price hereof is duly tendered and made available to the
record holder of this Debenture in accordance with paragraph 2, the right of the
holder to convert this Debenture shall cease and terminate at the close of
business on the date fixed for

                                                                          6
<PAGE>

redemption, whether or not the holder tenders this Debenture and accepts
payment.

       In order to convert this Debenture into Units, the holder shall surrender
this Debenture at the principal office of Ceatech, accompanied by written notice
to Ceatech of the holder's election to convert.  The written notice shall state
the name or names in which the certificate or certificates representing the
Conversion Units are to be issued. As soon as practicable thereafter, Ceatech
shall cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver to the person or entity
specified in the written notice of conversion, a certificate or certificates for
the proper number of shares of Ceatech Common Stock and Class A Common Stock
Purchase Warrants issuable upon conversion.  Such conversion shall be deemed to
have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of
surrender of the Debenture and receipt by Ceatech of written notice of
conversion, and the person or entity entitled to receive the Conversion Units
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of thereof as of such
date.

       No fractional shares of Units shall be issued upon conversion of this
Debenture.  In lieu of issuing any fractional Units upon the conversion of this
Debenture, Ceatech shall pay in cash to the record holder any amount of
outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest which is not so converted.

       Ceatech shall pay any and all transfer agent fees or other costs that may
be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of Conversion Units to the
record holder hereof upon conversion of this Debenture. However, Ceatech shall
not be required to pay any transfer tax or other similar fee which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of
Conversion Units in a name other than that in which the Debenture so converted
was registered.

       Ceatech shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock and Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants,
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Debenture, the full number
of Conversion Units then deliverable upon the conversion of this Debenture.

       In the event that Ceatech issues any "Additional Shares of Common Stock"
(as hereinafter defined), at any time during the term of this Debenture and
prior to its conversion or redemption, an adjustment shall be made in the
Conversion Price of this Debenture.

                                                                          7
<PAGE>

For purposes of this paragraph 3, the term "Additional Shares of Common
Stock" shall mean all shares of Common Stock (in excess of the 4,355,450
presently outstanding shares), issued by Ceatech at any time during the term
of this Debenture and prior to its conversion or redemption, other than
shares of Common Stock issued or issuable:

(a) For consideration per share which is equal to, or greater than, the
Conversion Price for this Debenture in effect on the date of, and immediately
prior to, such issue.

(b) Upon conversion of this Debenture and/or any other outstanding Debenture
which is a part of the same authorized issue of Debentures as this Debenture;
and

(c) Upon conversion of a Debenture issued subsequent to this Debenture under a
different and separately authorized issue of Debentures under different terms
and conditions, including a different Conversion Price; and

(d) Upon exercise of the Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued and
outstanding as of the date of hereof; and

       The Conversion Price in effect with respect to this Debenture shall be
reduced, concurrently with the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common
Stock, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying
such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the
number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by
Ceatech for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued
would purchase at such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
issuance, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock so issued.  For purposes of the above calculation, the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue
shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis, as if all convertible Debentures
and all other outstanding convertible securities of Ceatech had been fully
converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance, and
all issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants had been fully
exercised immediately prior to such issuance, but not including in such
calculation any additional shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to the
Debentures solely as a result of the adjustment of the

                                                                          8
<PAGE>

Conversion Price resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common
Stock causing such adjustment.

       For purposes of this paragraph 3, insofar as the consideration received
by Ceatech for the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock consists of
cash, it shall be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by Ceatech.
To the extent such consideration consists of property other than cash, it shall
be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issuance, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

       In the event that Ceatech shall declare or pay, without consideration,
any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to
acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common
Stock (by split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in
Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock), or in the event that the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by
reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock,
then the Conversion Price for this Debenture in effect immediately prior to such
event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be
proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate.  In the event that
Ceatech shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common
Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then
Ceatech shall be deemed to have made a dividend payable in Common Stock in an
amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of
such rights to acquire Common Stock.

       4.     Events of Default. If any of the events specified in this
paragraph 4 shall occur (herein individually referred to as an "Event of
Default"), the holder of the Debenture may, so long as such condition exists,
declare the entire principal and accrued interest hereon immediately due and
payable by written notice to Ceatech:

       (a)    Default in the payment of the principal and unpaid accrued
interest of this 7.75% Debenture and of any other outstanding Debentures which
are part of the authorized issue of 7.75% Convertible Subordinated Debentures of
Ceatech, when due and payable, if such default is not cured by Ceatech within
ten days after the holder has given Ceatech written notice of such default; or

                                                                          9
<PAGE>

       (b)    The voluntary institution by Ceatech of proceedings to be
adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to institution of
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or the filing by it of a
petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or release under the
federal Bankruptcy Act, or any other applicable federal or state law, or the
consent by it to the filing of any petition or the appointment of a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official of Ceatech, or of any
substantial part of its property or the making by it of an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by Ceatech in
furtherance of such action; or

       (c)    If, within 60 days after the commencement of an action against
Ceatech (and service of process in connection therewith on Ceatech) seeking any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar
relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such action shall
not have been resolved in favor of Ceatech or all orders or proceedings
thereunder affecting the operations or the business of Ceatech stayed, or if the
stay of any such order or proceeding shall thereafter be set aside, or if,
within 60 days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of
Ceatech of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Ceatech or of all or any
substantial part of the properties of Ceatech, such appointment shall not have
been vacated; or

       (d)    Ceatech fails to pay and discharge in a timely manner, or cause to
be paid or discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or
business of Ceatech, including but not limited to, any and all payroll taxes and
withholding; provided however, that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy
need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and if Ceatech shall have set aside on its
books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided further, that Ceatech
will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the
commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have attached as
security therefor; or

       (e)    Ceatech shall fail to keep any properties and assets which are
pledged as collateral security for payment of all outstanding Debentures, in
good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, or
shall fail to make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements,
additions and improvements thereto, or shall fail to comply at any time with any
material term or condition of any lease to which it is a party or pursuant to
which it occupies or has

                                                                          10
<PAGE>

possession of any property if the breach of such provision might have a
material and adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or
operation of Ceatech; or

       (f)    Ceatech shall fail at any time to duly observe and conform to all
valid requirements of governmental authorities relating to the conduct of
Ceatech's business or to its property or assets, including but not limited to,
maintaining any and all necessary governmental permits or licenses.

       5.     Consolidation, Merger and Sale. Upon any consolidation, merger or
sale in which Ceatech is not the continuing entity, this Debenture shall be
immediately due and payable in full unless the continuing corporation (other
than Ceatech) shall enter into a supplemental Debenture satisfactory to the
holder undertaking to make all payments due and to assume all covenants made
under the Debenture. Nothing in the Debenture will prohibit Ceatech from
consolidating or merging with or into any other corporation, or from selling or
conveying all or substantially all of the property and assets of Ceatech to any
other corporation if such an undertaking is given contemporaneously with such
transaction.

       6.     Subordination.  This Debenture shall be subordinate or subject in
right of payment of principal only to the prior payment by Ceatech of its
promissory note dated on or about October 20, 1998, as amended, in the amount of
$3,000,000.00, in favor of Bank of America, Bank of America Community
Development Bank, Rancho Cordova, California, but shall not be subordinate or
subject in right of payment to any other debts or obligations of Ceatech.

       7.     Other.  No provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of Ceatech, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal
and interest on this Debenture at the time and place and at the rate and in the
currency herein prescribed.

       In accordance with the Subscription Agreement, the 7.75% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures, including this Debenture, are issuable, in registered
form without coupons, only in denominations of $500,000.00.

       Ceatech may deem and treat the registered holder of this Debenture as the
absolute owner hereof, whether or not this Debenture shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon, for the
purpose of receiving payment hereof or

                                                                          11
<PAGE>

on account hereof and for all other purposes, and Ceatech shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.

       No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal or the interest
on this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect
hereof, or based on or in respect of any Debenture supplemental hereto, against
any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of
Ceatech or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution,
statute, or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof, and as part of
the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

       In the event of a dispute regarding or involving the meaning of the terms
and provisions of this Debenture, the laws of the State of Hawaii shall govern.

       Unless the holder of this Debenture is otherwise notified in writing, all
notices to Ceatech shall be sent to its principal place of business as it
appears on the face of this document with a copy sent to:

                            CEATECH USA, Inc.

       A facsimile transmission copy of this Debenture, or any notice given
pursuant hereto, which bears signatures of authorized representatives of either
Ceatech or the holder hereof, as the case may be, shall be deemed valid evidence
of the instrument or document, provided that a true copy of the instrument or
document bearing actual signatures is sent to the receiving party within three
business days of the facsimile transmission.
