                     ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE, INC.

                  9% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE DUE NOVEMBER 7, 2011

      THIS 9% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE, issued this 7th day of November 2008, is
one of duly authorized issue of 9% Convertible Debentures (including all 9%
Convertible Debentures issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this
"Debenture") of Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc., a corporation duly
organized and existing under the law of the State of Florida (the "Company"),
designated as its 9% Convertible Debentures Due November 7, 2011, in an
aggregate principal amount of U.S. $[2,566,077] (collectively, the "Debentures"
and such other Debentures, the "Other Debentures").

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to Bengt G. Odner, the
registered holder hereof (the "Holder"), the principal sum of $2,566,077, on or
prior to November 7, 2011 (the "Maturity Date"), and to pay interest on the
principal sum outstanding time to time on the yearly anniversary of the issuance
date set forth above (the "Issuance Date") of this Debenture (each an "Interest
Payment Date"), commencing November 7, 2009, up to and including the Maturity
Date, at the rate of 9% per annum, and shall be computed on the basis of a
365-day year and actual days elapsed. Accrual of interest on this Debenture
shall commence on the Issuance Date and shall continue to accrue until the next
Interest Payment Date. The interest so payable will be paid on each Interest
Payment Date to the person in whose name this Debenture (or one or more
predecessor Debentures) is registered on the records of the Company regarding
registration and transfers of the Debentures (the "Debenture Register") on the
first business day prior to such Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may elect to forego paying interest until such time as
this Debenture matures, is converted or redeemed, as the case may be. All
accrued and unpaid interest shall bear interest at the same rate of 9% per annum
from the date hereof until the date of payment. The principal of this Debenture
is payable in coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of
payment is legal tender for public and private debts or, at the option of the
Holder, in shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common
Stock"), under the same conversion formula as stated herein at the address of
the Holder last appearing on the Debenture Register of the Company as designated
in writing by the Holder from time to time. The Debenture Register shall
represent the record of ownership and right to receive principal and interest
payments on this Debenture. Interest and principal shall be payable only to the
registered Holder as reflected in the Debenture Register. At the option of the
Holder (as provided for in Section 4), interest on the within Debenture will be
payable in cash or shares of Common Stock under the conversion formulas as
stated herein. The right to receive principal and interest payments under this
Debenture shall be transferable only through an appropriate entry in the
Debenture Register as provided herein.

      This Debenture is subject to the following additional provisions:

1. Debentures. The Debentures are exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal
amount of Debentures of different authorized denominations, as requested by the
Holders surrendering the same, but shall not be issuable in denominations less
than integral multiples of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). No service charge
will be made for such registration of transfer or exchange.

2. [Intentionally Deleted]

3. Transfer. This Debenture has been issued subject to investment
representations of the original purchaser hereof and may be transferred,
assigned or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), including Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act. Any Holder of this Debenture, by acceptance hereof, agrees to
the representations, warranties and covenants herein. Prior to due presentment
to the Company for transfer of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the
Company may treat the person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on

receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not
this Debenture be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be

4. Conversion; Other Agreements. The record Holders of this Debenture shall have
conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):

      (a) Right to Convert. The record Holder of this Debenture shall be
entitled, at the option of the Holder, to convert any or all of the aggregate
principal and accrued and unpaid interest of Debentures held by such Holder, at
any time six (6) months after the date of issuance of this Debenture, at the
office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Debentures, into that number
of fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company
calculated in accordance with the following formula (the "Conversion Rate"): The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issuable upon conversion of any principal
amount shall be determined by dividing (x) the principal amount of this
Debenture to be converted by (y) the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined herein).
The number of shares of Common Stock to be issuable upon conversion of any
accrued and unpaid interest amount on this Debenture to be converted by (y) the
Fixed Conversion Price. The term "Fixed Conversion Price" means $0.25, subject
to adjustment as provided herein.

      (b) Mechanics of Conversion. In order to convert Debentures into shares of
Common Stock, the Holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates
therefor, duly endorsed, by either overnight courier or 2-day courier, to the
office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Debentures, and shall
give written notice to the Company at such office with a copy to Chief Financial
(Accounting) Officer, tel 905-695-4142, facsimile 905-695-5013, that such Holder
elects to convert the same, the amount of principal and/or interest of the
Debentures to be so converted and a calculation of the number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued upon conversion; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion unless either the certificates evidencing
such Debentures are delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided
above, or the Holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such
certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement
satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by
it in connection with such certificates.

      The Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder within five (5) business
days after delivery to the Company of such Debenture certificates, or after such
agreement and indemnification, to such Holder of Debentures at the address of
the Holder on the books of the Company, a certificate or certificates for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled as
aforesaid. The date on which notice of conversion is given (the "Date of
Conversion") shall be deemed to be the date in such notice of conversion is
received by the Company; provided, that the original Debentures to be converted
are received by the transfer agent or the Company within five (5) business days
thereafter, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date. If the
original Debentures to be converted are not received by the transfer agent or
the Company within five (5) business days after the Date of Conversion, the
notice of conversion shall become null and void.

      Following conversion of a Debenture, or a portion thereof, the principal
and, upon payment thereof of the interest owed on that Debenture or portion of
the Debenture so converted, will be deemed paid in full and satisfied, and such
Debenture or portion thereof will no longer be outstanding. If this Debenture
should be converted in part only, the Company shall promptly, upon surrender of
this Debenture, execute and deliver a new Debenture. Whenever the Company is
required to issue a new Debenture pursuant to the terms of this Debenture, such
new Debenture (i) shall be of like tenor with this Debenture, (ii) shall
represent, as indicated on the face of such new Debenture, the principal amount
remaining outstanding, (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the
face of such new Debenture, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this
Debenture, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Debenture, and
(v) shall represent the proportionate amount of accrued interest on the
principal amount and interest of this Debenture that correspond to the principal
of the new Debenture, from the Issuance Date.

      (c) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall use
its best efforts to keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the
Debentures, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time
be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Debentures. In
the event the Company shall have insufficient shares it undertakes to obtain
shareholder approval as soon as reasonably possible to increase its authorized
shares of Common Stock to insure there are sufficient shares upon conversion of
the Debenture. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon conversion of this Debenture will be validly authorized and reserved
for issuance and, if and when this Debenture is converted in whole or in part
the shares of Common Stock issued will be duly and validly issued, fully paid,
nonassessable, without any personal liability attaching to the ownership
thereof, and will not be issued in violation of any preemptive or other rights
of shareholders.

      (d) Mandatory Payment or Conversion on Maturity Date. Each Holder of a
Debenture outstanding on the Maturity Date, shall have the right to payment of
all principal (and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on this Debenture
paid to such Holder in cash or in immediately available funds or, at the option
of each Holder of a Debenture, in shares of Common Stock computed in accordance
with Section 4 above. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder
an amount in cash, in immediately available funds or, at the option of each
Holder of a Debenture, in shares of Common Stock computed in accordance with
Section 4 above an amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount (and
any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on this Debenture.

      (e) Adjustment to Conversion Price. (x) If, prior to the conversion of all
of the Debentures, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased
by a stock split, stock dividend or other similar event, then the Fixed
Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced. If prior to conversion of all
the Debentures, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by
a reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, or other
similar event, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased.
(y) In case the Company shall at any time after the date this Debenture is first
issued, sell additional shares of Common Stock or equivalents thereto, including
by way of example, pursuant to options, warrants, rights or other securities
convertible into shares of Common Stock (for purposes hereof respecting such
equivalent securities, such determination to be made at the time of sale, grant
or award of the equivalent security irrespective of the ultimate conversion or

                                       2
<PAGE>

exercise thereof) (other than pursuant to qualified or non-qualified employee
stock option plans approved by the Board of Directors or option grants to
consultants for bona fide services provided to the Company) in a private
transaction (as contrasted with a public sale registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission) at prices (including with respect to equivalent securities,
exercise, grant or conversion prices) less than the then current Fixed
Conversion Price, then the then current Fixed Conversion Price shall be reduced
to equal the sale, issuance, exercise or conversion price, as applicable, of the
Common Stock or equivalent thereto. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any event listed above shall occur. (z) No adjustment need be made if
it would result in a change of less than 1% of the Conversion Price. Any
adjustments required to be made by this subsection shall be rounded up to the
right to acquire the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.

      (f) No Charges or Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common
Stock upon conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to Holder
or the purchaser of any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred
by the Company in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion.

      (g) No Interference. The Company shall not close its books against the
transfer of this Debenture or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
upon the conversion of this Debenture in any manner which interferes with the
timely conversion of this Debenture.

      (h) Assistance. The Company shall assist and cooperate with any reasonable
request by the Holder or any purchaser which is required to make any
governmental filings or obtain any governmental approvals prior to or in
connection with any conversion of this Debenture.

      (i) Contingent Conversion. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if
a conversion of any portion of this Debenture is to be made in connection with a
public offering or sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock or
otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon
the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be
deemed to be effective until immediately prior to consummation of such
transaction.

      (j) Certain Actions. The Company shall take all such actions as may be
necessary to ensure that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued without
violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any
requirements of any domestic securities exchange or quotation system upon which
shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting securities that may be
issuable upon conversion of this Debenture may be listed or quoted (except for
official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company
upon each such issuance). The Company will use its best efforts to cause the
shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Debenture, immediately
upon such conversion, to be listed on any domestic national securities exchange
or quotation system upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities
issuable upon conversion of this Debenture are listed or quoted at the time of
such exercise.

      (k) Non-Circumvention. The Company shall not, and shall not permit its
subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, by any action avoid or seek to avoid
the observance or performance of any terms of this Debenture or impair or
diminish its value, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out
of all such terms of this Debenture.

      (l) Authority. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority
to enter into and perform its obligations under this Debenture and to issue and
deliver the Debenture to the Holder. The execution, delivery, and performance by
the Company of its obligations under this Debenture, including the issuance and
delivery of the Debenture to the Holder, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Debenture has been
duly executed and delivered by the Company and is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company and is enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms.

      (m) Governmental Actions. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or
consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be
necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Debenture.

      (n) Registration Rights. The Holder shall have the registration rights and
be subject to the same obligations and undertakings with respect to the shares
issuable upon exercise of this Debenture as are granted pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2008 (the "Registration
Rights Agreement"), as amended or supplemented from time to time, providing
registration rights to the Holder.

5. Redemption.

      (a) Right to Redeem. Except as provided in Sections 5(b) and (d) herein,
the Company may at its sole option elect to redeem this Debenture in accordance
with Section 5(c).

      (b) Right to Redeem on Conversion. The Company shall not have the right,
after receipt of a notice of conversion pursuant to Section 4, to redeem in
whole or in part any Debentures submitted for conversion. If the Company wishes
to redeem some, but not all, of the Debentures previously submitted for
conversion, the Company shall notify the Holder on five (5) days written notice,
and it will be the option of the Holder to elect to have the Debenture redeemed.

      (c) Mechanics of Redemption on Conversion. The Company shall effect each
such redemption by giving notice of its election to redeem, by facsimile to
Holder. Such redemption notice shall indicate whether the Company will redeem
all or part of the Debentures. The Company shall not be entitled to send any
notice of redemption and begin the redemption procedure unless it has the full
amount of the redemption price, in cash, available in a demand or other
immediately available account in a bank or similar financial institution on the
date the redemption notice is sent to Holder.

      (d) Mechanics of Conversion on Redemption. The Holder may within three (3)
business days of receipt of the Notice of Redemption elect to send Notice of
Conversion to the Company should Holder wish for the Debenture to be converted
rather than redeemed by the Company.

                                       3
<PAGE>

      (e) Redemption Price. The redemption price per Debenture shall equal one
hundred and ten percent (110%) multiplied by the then outstanding principal
amount plus unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

      The redemption price shall be paid in cash to the Holder of Debentures
redeemed within ten (10) business days of the delivery of the notice of such
redemption to such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to deliver any portion of such redemption price unless either the
certificates evidencing the Debentures redeemed are delivered to the Company or
its transfer agent as provided in Section 4(b), or the Holder notifies the
Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or
destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the
Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.

6. No Impairment. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this
Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Debenture at
the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, or Common Stock herein
prescribed. This Debenture and all other Debentures now and hereafter issued of
similar terms are direct obligations of the Company.

7. Termination. After this Debenture shall have been surrendered for conversion
as herein provided or notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company
pursuant to Section 5(c) herein, this Debenture shall no longer be deemed to be
outstanding and all rights with respect to this Debenture, including, without
limitation, the right to receive interest hereon and the principal hereof, shall
forthwith terminate as of the Date of Conversion, except, as applicable, as
otherwise provided herein, the right of the Holder hereof to receive shares of
Common Stock in exchange therefor or the right to be paid pursuant to the
provisions of Section 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the
Holder or the Company, as applicable, is converting less than the outstanding
principal amount and/or less than the amount of unpaid interest accrued thereon,
then the rights and obligations under this Debenture shall terminate only with
respect to the principal and/or interest being so converted.

8. [Intentionally Deleted]

9. Costs and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorney's fees, which may be incurred by the Holder in
collecting any amount due under this Debenture.

10. Events of Default; Remedies. If one or more of the following described
"Events of Default" shall occur:

      (a) The Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest on
these Debentures; or

      (b) Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein,
in the Securities Subscription Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, relating
to these Debentures (the "Subscription Agreement") or in any certificate or
financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on
behalf of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Debenture or the Subscription Agreement shall be false or misleading in a any
material respect at the time made; or

      (c) The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material respect,
any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the

shall continue uncured for a period of fifteen (15) business days after notice
from Holder of such failure; or

      (d) The Company or any of its subsidiaries shall (1) admit in writing its

or business without their consent and shall not be discharged within forty five
(45) business days after such appointment; or

      (f) Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the
instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole
or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries and shall not be dismissed within forty five (45) business days
thereafter; or

      (g) Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or
other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief
of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company or any of its
subsidiaries and, if instituted against the Company or any of its subsidiaries
shall not be dismissed within forty five (45) business days after such

answer approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the
material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any
proceeding; or

      (h) The Common Stock shall not be traded on an exchange or over the
counter market.

      Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless
such Event or Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which
waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the
option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the principal (and any
accrued interest) amount of this Debenture shall become immediately due and
payable, without presentment, demand protest or notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments
contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and

11. Mergers, Consolidations, Change of Control, etc.

      (a) Change of Control. Each of the following events shall constitute a
"Change of Control":

            (i) the consolidation, merger or other business combination
      (including, without limitation, a reorganization or recapitalization) of
      the Company with or into another person or entity (other than (A) a
      consolidation, merger or other business combination (including, without
      limitation, reorganization or recapitalization) in which holders of the
      Company's voting power immediately prior to the transaction continue after
      the transaction to hold, directly or indirectly, the voting power of the
      surviving entity or entities necessary to elect a majority of the members
      of the board of directors (or their equivalent if other than a
      corporation) of such entity or entities, or (B) pursuant to a migratory
      merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of
      incorporation of the Company);

            (ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
      Company's or its subsidiaries' assets (as determined on a consolidated
      basis); or

            (iii) a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by
      the holders of more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common
      Stock.

      No sooner than 21 days nor later than 15 days prior to the consummation of
a Change of Control the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via
facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a "Change of Control Notice").
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) no Change of Control Notice
shall be made prior to the public announcement of a Change of Control and (y) no
Change of Control Notice shall be made prior to the public announcement of the
Change of Control described in (a)(iii) above as long as the terms of the
underlying Change of Control transaction will permit the Holder to participate
in such transaction on the same per share terms as the other participating
holders of Common Stock in the event the Holder elects to convert all or a
portion of this Debenture into Common Stock as herein provided. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Change of Control Notice shall be delivered
no later than one Business Day following the events described in (x) and (y) of
the preceding sentence.

      (b) Assumption. Prior to the consummation of any Change of Control, the
Company will secure from any person or entity purchasing the Company's assets or
Common Stock or any successor resulting from such Change of Control (in each
case, an "Acquiring Entity") a written agreement (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Debentures representing at least a majority of
the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding) to deliver to
each holder of Debentures in exchange for such Debentures, a security of the
Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form
and substance to the Debentures, including, without limitation, having a
principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts and the
interest rates of the Debentures held by such holder, and satisfactory to the
holders of Debentures representing at least a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding. In the event that an
Acquiring Entity is directly or indirectly controlled by a company or entity
whose common stock or similar equity interest is listed, designated or quoted on
a securities exchange or trading market, the holders of Debentures representing
at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then
outstanding may elect to treat such person or entity as the Acquiring Entity for
purposes of this Section 11(b).

      (c) Other Corporate Events. Prior to the consummation of any
recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, merger, spin-off or other
business combination (other than a Change of Control) pursuant to which holders
of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect
to or in exchange for Common Stock (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall make
appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right
to receive upon a conversion of this Debenture, (i) in addition to the shares of
Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to
which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common
Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the
consummation of such Corporate Event or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common
Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets
received by the holders of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of
such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to
receive had this Debenture initially been issued with conversion rights for the
form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a
conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rates.
Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and
substance satisfactory to the holders of Debentures representing at least a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding.

12. Lost or Destroyed Debenture. If this Debenture shall be mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of
or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Debenture, a new Debenture
for the principal amount of this Debenture so mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction
of such Debenture, and of the ownership thereof, and indemnity and bond, if
requested, all reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

mean any day on which banks are generally open for business in the State of New

provision of this Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver
of any breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this
Debenture. The failure of the Company or the Holder hereof to insist upon strict
adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not be
considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon
strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Debenture. Any waiver
must be in writing.

18. Notices of Certain Actions. In case at any time the Company shall propose
to:

      (a) pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock in
shares of Common Stock or equivalents thereto or make any other distribution; or

      (b) issue any rights, warrants or other Common Stock to all holders of
Common Stock entitling them to purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or
any other rights, debentures, warrants or other Common Stock; or

      (c) effect any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, or any consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance of property,
described in Sections 4 or 11 hereof; or

      (d) effect any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company; or

      (e) take any other action which would cause an adjustment to the Fixed
Conversion Price; or

      (f) provide to its shareholders any information which is regularly
provided to shareholders,

      then, and in any one or more of such cases (a) through (f), the Company
shall, subject to any other Sections of this Debenture, give written notice
thereof, by certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at the Holder's
address as it shall appear in the Debenture Register, mailed at least fifteen
(15) days prior to (i) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of
securities to be entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, rights,
debentures, warrants or other securities are to be determined, (ii) the date on
which any such reclassification, change of outstanding shares of Common Stock,
consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property, liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of
which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property, if any,
deliverable upon such reclassification, change of outstanding shares,
consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property, liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up, or (iii) the date of such other action which would
require an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price. In the case of subsection
(f) above, written notice to the Holder may be given by regular mail.

19. Unenforceable Provisions. If any provision of this Debenture is invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect,
and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall
nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.

20. Restriction on Redemption and Dividends. Until all of the Debentures have
been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms,
the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, (A) repurchase, redeem, or
declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, the Common Stock or (B)
distribute any material property or assets of any kind to holders of the Common
Stock in respect of the Common Stock.

21. Rank. Obligations under this Debenture, including payments of principal and
interest and other payments due under this Debenture, shall rank pair passe with
all Other Debentures.

22. Vote to Issue, or Change the Terms of, Debentures. The affirmative vote at a
meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of
the holders of Debentures representing not less than a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures shall be required for any
change or amendment to this Debenture or the Other Debentures; provided, that
the Holder of this Debenture may waive any term or provision of this Debenture
without such vote or written consent.

23. Payment of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (a) this Debenture is
placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected
or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to
collect amounts due under this Debenture or to enforce the provisions of this
Debenture or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of
the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors' rights and
involving a claim under this Debenture, then the Company shall pay the
reasonable costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or
action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or
other proceeding, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements.

24. Construction; Headings. This Debenture shall be deemed to be jointly drafted
by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any person as
the drafter hereof. The headings of this Debenture are for convenience of
reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Debenture.

25. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive
Relief. The remedies provided in this Debenture shall be cumulative and in
addition to all other remedies available under this Debenture and any of the
other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), at law
or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive
relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue actual
damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this
Debenture. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments,
conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be

                                       6

received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be
subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach
may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such
breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the
necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.

26. Waiver of Notice. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives
demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the
delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Debenture and
the Subscription Agreement.

27. Further Acknowledgement. The Company will, at the time of each conversion of
this Debenture, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing
its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights (including,
without limitation, any rights to registration, pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement, of the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion) to
which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such conversion in
accordance with its terms of this Debenture; PROVIDED, that if the Holder of
this Debenture shall fail to make any such requests, such failure shall not
affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to such
Holder.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Debenture to be duly
executed by an officer thereof duly authorized.
