                         REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
April 3, 2001 ("Effective Date") between STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and THOMAS STONE (the "Investor").

                                   RECITALS

     A.  The Investor has executed a Subscription Agreement of even date hereof
("Subscription Agreement") for the purchase of "Units", with each Unit
consisting of 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001 (the
"Common Stock") and a Convertible Subordinated Debenture for the principal
amount of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the "Debenture").

     B.  The Company has agreed to enter this Agreement with each investor
(collectively, "Investors") that subscribes to purchase Units pursuant to a
Subscription Agreement in substantially the form executed by the Investor.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the terms and
conditions set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Company and the Investor
agree as follows:

     1.   Registration.
          ------------

          (a)    Agreement to Register.  The Company covenants and agrees to
                 ---------------------
cause the Investor's Common Stock and the Registrable Securities (as defined
below) to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), within
365 days from the Effective Date ("Registration Deadline"). The securities
entitled to the benefits of this Agreement ("Registrable Securities") are (i)
the shares of Common Stock subscribed and purchased by the Investor pursuant to
the Subscription Agreement, and (ii) any securities issued or issuable upon the
Investor's conversion of the Debentures (and after giving effect to any stock
split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or exchange
offer). For purposes of this Agreement, a Registrable Security ceases to be a
Registrable Security when it has been sold or distributed to any person pursuant
to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

          (b)    Procedure and Duration.  The Company will prepare and file with
                 ----------------------
the Commission the necessary registration statement, amendments, supplements and
other filings (collectively, "Registration Statement") for an offering to be
made covering the resale by the Investors thereof of all the Registrable
Securities. The registration will be on Form S-3 or another appropriate form
permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the
Investors. The Company will cause the Registration Statement to remain
continuously effective under the Securities Act for a period of thirty (30) days
(the "Effectiveness Period").

     2.   Failure to Register.  In the event that the Registration Statement is
          -------------------
not declared
<PAGE>

effective by the Commission on or before the Registration Deadline, then the
Company shall pay to the Investor an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the
Investor's original purchase price of the Registrable Securities per month, for
each month that the Registration Statement has not been declared effective.
Payment of amounts due and owing under this Section 2 shall be payable by the
Company within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a written demand from the
Investor.

     3.     Company Covenants.
            -----------------

     (a)    If the Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any reason
at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of
all of the securities registered thereunder), the Company will obtain the prompt
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and will within
thirty (30) days of such cessation of effectiveness amend the Registration
Statement in a manner reasonably expected to obtain the withdrawal of the order
suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional Registration
Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities (that have not otherwise
been sold or transferred).

     (b)    The Company will supplement and amend the Registration Statement if
required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used by the Company, if required by the Securities Act, or if
reasonably requested by the Investors holding a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Registrable Securities ("Majority Registrable Investors").

     (c)    The Company will notify the Investors (providing, if requested by
any such persons, confirmation in writing) as soon as practicable after becoming
aware of: (A) the filing of the Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto; (B) any request by the Commission for amendments or
supplements to such Registration Statement or for additional information; (C)
the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of
the qualification or registration (or exemption therefrom) of any Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction in the United States or the initiation
or threatening of any proceeding for such purposes; or (E) the happening of any
event that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or any
supplement, amendment or document incorporated therein by reference untrue in
any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such
Registration Statement or in any such supplement, amendment or other such
document so that it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading.

     (d)    As soon as practicable after filing such documents with the
Commission, the Company will furnish to the Investor, without charge, at least
one manually signed or conformed copy of the Registration Statement and any
post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules;
and as soon as practicable after the request of any Investor furnish to such
Investor at least one copy of any document incorporated by reference in such
Registration Statement or in any supplement or amendment, together with all
exhibits thereto (including those previously furnished or incorporated by
reference).

                                       2

     (e)    The Company will cooperate with the Investors and their respective
counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption
therefrom) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the
Investor will reasonably request in writing; and do any and all other acts and
things reasonably necessary or advisable to facilitate the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement; provided that the Company will not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not be required to qualify but
for this Agreement.

     (f)    The Company shall make available for inspection during reasonable
business hours by the Investor, and any attorney, accountant or other
representative retained by such selling Investor (provided that no more than two
law firms and one accounting firm will be retained by the Investor) all
pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
underwriter, attorney, accountant or other representative in connection with
such registration; provided, however, that if any information is determined in
good faith by the Company to be of a confidential nature at the time of delivery
of such information, then prior to delivery of such information, the Company and
the Investor will enter into a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable
to the Company and the Investor.

     4.     Investor Covenants.  The Investor hereby covenants and agrees to use
            ------------------
its best efforts to cooperate with the Company in all reasonable respects in
connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement in
which such Registrable Securities are included or requested to be included.

     5.     Registration Expenses.  All expenses incident to the Company's
            ---------------------
performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation
all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with
securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications or registrations (or the
obtaining of exemptions therefrom) of the Registrable Securities), printing
expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, internal expenses, fees and
disbursements of its counsel and its independent certified public accountants,
securities acts liability insurance (if the Company elects to obtain such
insurance), reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the
Company in connection with any registration hereunder and reasonable fees and
expenses of other persons retained by the Company (all such expenses being
herein referred to as "Registration Expenses"), will be borne by the Company;
provided that Registration Expenses will not include any commissions or fees
attributable to the sale of the Registrable Securities or fees and expenses of
counsel for any Investor or out-of-pocket expenses of any Investor which will be
paid by the Investor as incurred.

     6.     Indemnification; Contribution.
            -----------------------------

            (a)  Indemnification by the Company.  The Company will indemnify, to
                 ------------------------------
the full extent permitted by law, each Investor holding Registrable Securities
and any investment

                                       3
<PAGE>

adviser thereof or agent therefor, against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal
expenses) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Registration Statement covering any Registrable
Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged
omission to state in any thereof a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except in each case
insofar, but only insofar, as the liability arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or an omission
or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Registration Statement,
amendment or supplement, as the case may be, made or omitted, as the case may
be, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Investor expressly for use therein. This indemnity is in
addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

            (b)  Indemnification by Investor of Registrable Securities.  Each
                 -----------------------------------------------------
Investor whose Registrable Securities are covered by an applicable Registration
Statement must furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits
with respect to such Investor as the Company reasonably requests for use in
connection with such Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, and will indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company,
the Company's directors, officers, employees and agents, each person or entity
who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any
investment adviser thereof or agent therefor, against all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation
and legal expenses) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement covering
any Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
omission or alleged omission to state in any thereof a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that the same arises out of or
is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or an omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Registration
Statement, amendment or supplement, as the case may be, made or omitted, as the
case may be, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use therein; provided,
however, that in no event will the liability of any Investor for indemnification
under this Section 6(b) exceed the proceeds received by such Investor from the
sale of Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement. This
indemnity is in addition to any liability that an Investor may otherwise have.

          (c)    Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Any party entitled to
                 --------------------------------------
indemnification under this Section 6 agrees to give prompt written notice to the
indemnifying party after the receipt by such party of any written notice of the
commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof
made in writing for which such party will claim indemnification or contribution
pursuant to this Agreement and, unless in the reasonable judgment of such
indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified
party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claim, permit the
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party. If the indemnifying party is not
entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a

                                       4
<PAGE>

claim, it will not be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of more
than one counsel with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of counsel to such indemnified party, expressed in a writing delivered to the
indemnifying party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified
party and any other indemnified party with respect to such claim, in which event
the indemnifying party will be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses
of such additional counsel or counsels (which will be limited to one counsel per
indemnified party). The indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability
for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld.

          (d)    Contribution.
                 ------------

               (i)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 from
the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party for any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, will
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and
indemnified parties in connection with the actions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event will the liability
of any of the Investors for contribution under this Section 6(d) exceed the
proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities under
the applicable Registration Statement. The relative fault of such indemnifying
party and indemnified parties will be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying
party or indemnified parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above will be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c) hereof, any legal
or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with any investigation or proceeding.

               (iii)  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. No party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from
any party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

               (iii)  If indemnification is available under this Section 6, the
indemnifying parties will indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent
provided in Section 6(a) and Section 6(b) hereof without regard to the relative
fault of said indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable
consideration provided for in this Section 6(d).

THIS CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE
UPON CONVERSION HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. THE ISSUER WILL REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY
TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES NOT MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND
MAY REQUIRE, AS A CONDITION TO ANY REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL, A CERTIFICATE OR SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY TO THE
ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT THE TRANSFER HAS BEEN MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
SECURITIES ACT. THIS DEBENTURE CONTAINS A CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT PROVISION WHICH
MAY ALLOW THE LENDER TO OBTAIN A JUDGMENT WITHOUT PROVIDING PRIOR NOTICE OR AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.

                      CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE

U.S. $100,000.00                                                   April 3, 2001

        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), promises to pay to the order of the holder
of this Debenture named below (the "Holder"), the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND and No Hundredths UNITED STATES DOLLARS (U.S.$100,000), or so much as
has been paid by the Holder pursuant to Section 2 below on April 2, 2005 (the
"Maturity Date").

        1.     Interest.  Amounts outstanding under this Debenture will accrue
               --------
interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until paid. Interest will be
calculated on the basis of three hundred sixty (360) days per year for the
actual number of days elapsed. The Company's interest calculations will control
absent manifest error.

        2.     Payment. Unless previously paid as provided in Section 4 below,
               -------
the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest hereon, will be due and payable on the Maturity Date, at the address of
the Holder stated below or at such other place as the Holder hereof may
designate in writing to the Company. All payments hereunder received from the
Company by the Holder will be applied first to interest to the extent then
accrued and then to principal.

        3.     Conversion.
               ----------

               3.1    Conversion by the Holder. Subject to the terms and
                      ------------------------
conditions of this Section 3, the Holder will have the right, at its option at
any time, to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of this
Debenture (in increments of not less than $25,000) into the number of fully paid
and nonassessable whole shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001
("Common Stock") as is obtained by dividing the aggregate amount of unpaid
principal balance by the conversion price of
<PAGE>

$0.10 per share, as such price is appropriately adjusted for events described in
Section 6 below (such price, or such price as last adjusted, being referred to
herein as the "Conversion Price"). Such rights of conversion may be exercised by
the Holder by giving written notice to the Company that the Holder elects to
convert a stated amount of principal and/or interest into Common Stock and by
surrender of this Debenture to the Company at its principal office (or such
other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in
writing to the Holder) at any time during its usual business hours, together
with a statement of the name or names (with address), subject to compliance with
applicable laws to the extent such designation will involve a transfer, in which
the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued.

               3.2.    Issuance of Certificates; Time Conversion Effected.
                       --------------------------------------------------
Promptly after receipt by the Company of the written notice referred to in
Section 3.1 and surrender of this Debenture, the Company will issue and deliver,
or cause to be issued and delivered, to the Holder, registered in such name or
names as the Holder may direct, subject to compliance with applicable laws to
the extent such designation will involve a transfer, a certificate or
certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of this Debenture. To the extent permitted by law, such conversion
will be deemed to have been effected and the Conversion Price will be determined
as of the close of business on the date on which the Company receives written
notice and this Debenture has been surrendered as aforesaid, and at such time
the rights of the Holder will cease (with respect to this Debenture), and the
person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for the
shares issuable upon conversion will be deemed to have become the holder or
holders of record of the shares represented thereby.

               4.      Prepayment by the Company. The Company may redeem or
                       -------------------------
prepay all or any portion of the then outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture then held by the Holder for an amount equal to: (i) one hundred
twenty-five percent (125%) of the outstanding principal of the Debenture to be
redeemed before the first anniversary of the date of this Debenture; (ii) one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the outstanding principal of the Debenture to be
redeemed between the first and second anniversary of the date of this Debenture;
and (iii) one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of the outstanding principal
of the Debenture to be redeemed between the second and third anniversary of the
date of this Debenture. The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice
("Redemption Notice") of its intent to redeem or prepay any portion of the
Debenture pursuant to this Section 4 at the address of the Holder stated below
or at such other place as the Holder hereof may designate in writing to the
Company. Within ten (10) days of the Holder's receipt of the Redemption Notice,
the Holder may elect to convert that portion of the Debenture to be redeemed or
prepaid by the Company into shares of Common Stock by providing the Company with
proper notice in accordance with Section 3.1 above. If the Holder does not
timely elect to convert that portion of the Debenture to be redeemed or repaid,
the Holder will surrender this Debenture to the Company for redemption or
repayment in accordance with the Redemption Notice.

               5.      Fractional Shares; Partial Conversion. No fractional
                       -------------------------------------
shares will be issued upon conversion or exchange of this Debenture into Common
Stock and the number of shares to be issued will be rounded to the nearest whole
share. In case of a partial conversion the Company will, upon

                                       2
<PAGE>

such conversion, execute and deliver to the Holder a new debenture representing
that portion of this Debenture that is not converted.

               6.      Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price
                       -------------------------------
will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                6.1    Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. If at any time
                       ---------------------------------------
there is a reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation or entity when the Company is not the surviving entity, or
the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any
other person or entity under any plan or arrangement contemplating the
dissolution of the Company, then in each such case, the Company or such
successor entity will execute a new Debenture which will contain provisions
relating to the rights and obligations of the Holder and the Company after such
reorganization, consolidation or merger that will have, as nearly as possible
after such adjustment, the same effect as the provisions of this Debenture,
including the provisions of this Debenture relating to the Conversion Price and
the number and type of shares deliverable upon conversion or exchange. The
Holder will have the right to convert such Debenture and, upon such conversion,
to receive in lieu of each share of stock issuable upon the Conversion of this
Debenture, the number and kind of shares of stock, other securities, money or
other property receivable upon such reorganization, consolidation or merger by a
holder of the number of shares into which this Debenture is convertible or
exchangeable and the Conversion Price of this Debenture will be appropriately
adjusted.

                6.2    Adjustments for Stock Dividends and Splits. In the event
                       ------------------------------------------
the Company should at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, fix a
record date for a stock split, or subdivision of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (except in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially
all of its assets) or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to
receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common
Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder
thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock
(hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any
consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the
Common Stock Equivalents, then, as of such record date (or the date of such
dividend, distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the
Conversion Price will be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of this Debenture will be
increased in proportion to the increase of outstanding shares resulting from
such stock split, stock dividend, distribution or subdivision.

               6.3     Reverse Stock Splits. In the event the Company should at
                       --------------------
any time or from time to time after the date hereof, fix a record date for a
reverse stock split, or a transaction having a similar effect on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (except in connection with the
merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets), then, as of such
record date (or the date of such reverse stock split or similar transaction if
no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price will be appropriately increased
so that the number of shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of this
Debenture will be decreased in proportion to the decrease of outstanding shares
resulting from the reverse stock split or similar transaction.

                                       3

               6.4     Reclassification. In the event the Company should at any
                       ----------------
time or from time to time after the date hereof, fix a record date for a
reclassification of its Common Stock, then, as of such record date (or the date
of the reclassification if no record date is set), this Debenture will
thereafter be convertible or exchangeable into such number and kind of
securities as would have been issuable as the result of such reclassification to
a holder of a number of shares equal to the number of shares issuable upon
conversion or exchange of this Debenture immediately prior to such
reclassification.

               6.5.    Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the
                       --------------------
Conversion Price, then and in each such case the Company will give written
notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at
the address of the Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice
will state the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, setting forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such
calculation is based.

               7.      Stock to be Reserved. Until such time as this Debenture
                       --------------------
has been converted or exchanged into shares of Common Stock or paid in full, the
Company will reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to permit the conversion or exchange of the entire
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture. All shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion or exchange of this Debenture will be fully paid and
nonassessable.

               8.      Issue and Transfer Tax. The issuance of certificates for
                       ----------------------
shares of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of this Debenture will be
made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof,
provided that the Company will not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
certificate in a name other than that of the Holder.

               9.      Security. This Debenture is secured only by the general
                       --------
credit of the Company, and not by any mortgage, deed of trust or security
interest in or upon any real or personal property.

               10.     Agreement to Subordinate. The Holder agrees that the
                       ------------------------
payment of the principal and interest accrued on this Debenture is subordinate
and junior in right of payment to (i) all prior secured borrowings or
obligations of the Company, including any extension or renewal of such prior
secured borrowings or obligations, (ii) any obligations of the Company under the
Company's line of credit, including any subsequent draws made on such line of
credit, and (iii) any purchase money mortgages, financing leases, conditional
sales, or other financed purchases whether or not secured by a purchase money
mortgage, now outstanding or made subsequently in the ordinary course of
business. Upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Company, all
indebtedness that is senior to this Debenture shall be paid in full before any
payment may be made by the Company under this Debenture.

               11.     Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Debenture will be
                       ------------------------------
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
without regard to conflicts of

                                       4
<PAGE>

laws principles. The Company covenants and agrees that the courts of Delaware
will have jurisdiction of any legal action or proceeding involving this
Debenture.

               12.     Severability. In the event any provision (or any part of
                       ------------
any provision) contained in this Debenture is for any reason finally held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any
other provision (or remaining part of the affected provision) of this Debenture;
but this Debenture will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had never been contained herein, but
only to the extent it is invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
