                                      -5-

                  b) Company's   Election to Pay Interest in Kind. Subject to the

         terms and   conditions   herein,   the   decision   whether to pay   interest

         hereunder in shares of Common Stock or cash shall be at the   discretion

         of the Company.   Not less than 10 Trading   Days prior to each   Interest

         Payment Date,   the Company shall provide the Holder with written notice

         of its election to pay interest   hereunder   either in cash or shares of

         Common Stock (the Company may indicate in such notice that the election

         contained   in such   notice   shall   continue   for   later   periods   until

         revised). Within 10 Trading Days prior to an Interest Payment Date, the

         Company's   election   (whether   specific to an Interest   Payment Date or

         continuous)   shall be   irrevocable   as to such   Interest   Payment Date.

         Subject to the   aforementioned   conditions,   failure to timely   provide

         such   written   notice shall be deemed an election by the Company to pay

         the interest on such Interest Payment Date in cash.

 

                  c) Interest Calculations.   Interest shall be calculated on the

         basis of a   360-day   year and   shall   accrue   daily   commencing   on the

         Original   Issue   Date   until   payment   in   full of the   principal   sum,

         together   with all accrued and unpaid   interest and other amounts which

         may become due hereunder,   has been made. Payment of interest in shares

         of Common Stock shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section   4(d)(ii) and

         only for   purposes of the payment of interest in shares,   the   Interest

         Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion Date.   Interest shall cease

         to accrue with respect to any principal amount converted, provided that

         the Company in fact   delivers   the   Conversion   Shares   within the time

         period required by Section 4(d)(ii). Interest hereunder will be paid to

         the Person in whose name this Debenture is registered on the records of

         the Company   regarding   registration   and transfers of Debentures   (the

         "Debenture   Register").   Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any

         time the Company   pays   interest   partially   in cash and   partially   in

         shares of Common Stock, then such payment shall be distributed   ratably

         among the Holders based upon the principal amount of Debentures held by

          each Holder.

 

                  d) Late Fee.   All overdue   accrued   and unpaid   interest to be

         paid hereunder shall entail a late fee at the rate of 18% per annum (or

         such lower   maximum   amount of interest   permitted to be charged   under

         applicable   law) ("Late Fees") which will accrue   daily,   from the date

         such   interest   is due   hereunder   through   and   including   the date of

         payment.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if

         on any Interest Payment Date the Company has elected to pay interest in

         Common   Stock and is not able to pay   accrued   interest   in the form of

         Common   Stock   because   it does not then   satisfy   the   conditions   for

         payment   in the form of   Common   Stock set forth   above,   then,   at the

         option of the Holder, the Company,   in lieu of delivering either shares

         of Common   Stock   pursuant   to this   Section 2 or paying the   regularly

         scheduled cash interest   payment,   shall deliver,   within three Trading

         Days of each applicable   Interest Payment Date, an amount in cash equal

         to the   product   of the   number of shares   of   Common   Stock   otherwise

         deliverable   to the Holder in   connection   with the payment of interest

         due on such Interest Payment Date and the average of the Closing Prices

         during the period commencing on the Interest Payment Date and ending on

         the Trading Day prior to the date such payment is made.

                  e)    Prepayment.    Except   as   otherwise   set   forth   in   this

         Debenture,   the   Company   may not prepay any   portion of the   principal

         amount of this   Debenture   without   the prior   written   consent   of the

         Holder.

 

         Section 3.      Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.

         ----------      ---------------------------------------

 

                  a) Different Denominations. This Debenture is exchangeable for

         an   equal   aggregate    principal   amount   of   Debentures   of   different

         authorized denominations, of not less than $50,000, as requested by the

         Holder   surrendering   the same. No service charge will be made for such

         registration of transfer or exchange.

 

                  b) Investment Representations.   This Debenture has been issued

         subject to certain   investment   representations   of the original Holder

         set forth in the Purchase Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged

         only in compliance with the Purchase   Agreement and applicable   federal

         and state securities laws and regulations.

 

                  c) Reliance on Debenture Register. 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 the Debenture   Register as the owner hereof for the

         purpose   of   receiving   payment   as herein   provided   and for all other

         purposes,   whether or not this   Debenture   is overdue,   and neither the

         Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

         Section 4.      Conversion.

         ----------      -----------

 

                  a) Voluntary Conversion.   At any time after the Original Issue

         Date until this   Debenture   is no longer   outstanding,   this   Debenture

         shall be   convertible   into shares of Common Stock at the option of the

         Holder,   in whole or in part at any time and from time to time (subject

         to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 4(c) hereof). The

         Holder shall effect   conversions   by delivering to the Company the form

         of Notice   of   Conversion   attached   hereto   as Annex A (a   "Notice   of

         Conversion"),   specifying therein the principal amount of Debentures to

         be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a

         "Conversion   Date").   If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of

         Conversion,   the Conversion   Date shall be the date that such Notice of

         Conversion is provided hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder,   the

          Holder shall not be required to physically   surrender Debentures to the

         Company unless the entire   principal   amount of this Debenture plus all

         accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been so converted.   Conversions

         hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the   outstanding   principal

         amount   of   this   Debenture   in   an   amount   equal   to   the   applicable

         conversion.   The Holder and the Company   shall   maintain   detailed   and

         accurate records showing the principal amount converted and the date of

         such conversions. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice

         of Conversion   within 2 Business Days of receipt of such notice. In the

         event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be

         controlling and   determinative   in the absence of manifest   error.   The

         Holder and any assignee,   by acceptance of this Debenture,   acknowledge

         and   agree   that,   by   reason   of the   provisions   of   this   paragraph,

         following   conversion   of a portion of this   Debenture,   the

 

 

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

 

         unpaid and unconverted   principal   amount of this Debenture may be less

         than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

                  b) Conversion   Price.   The   conversion   price in effect on any

         Conversion   Date   shall   be   equal   to   $1.25   (subject   to   adjustment

         herein)(the "Conversion Price").

 

                  c) Conversion Limitations.

                     ----------------------

 

                     i. Trading   Market   Limitations.   Notwithstanding   anything

                  herein   to the   contrary,   if the   Company   has   not   obtained

                  Shareholder   Approval (as defined   below),   if required by the

                  applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market (or any

                  successor   entity),   then   the   Company   may   not   issue   upon

                  conversion   of the   Debentures   in   excess of   19.999%   of the

                  number of shares of Common   Stock   outstanding   on the Trading

                  Day   immediately   preceding the Original Issue Date,   less the

                  number of shares issued prior to such Conversion Date pursuant

                  to any   Debentures   and less the number of shares issued prior

                  to such   Conversion Date pursuant to any Warrants (such number

                  of shares,   the   "Issuable   Maximum").   Each   Holder   shall be

                  entitled   to a portion of the   Issuable   Maximum   equal to the

                  quotient   obtained by   dividing   (x) the   aggregate   principal

                  amount of the   Debenture(s)   issued and sold to such Holder on

                   the Original Issue Date by (y) the aggregate   principal amount

                  of all   Debentures   issued   and   sold   by the   Company   on the

                  Original   Issue Date.   If any Holder   shall no longer hold the

                   Debenture(s),   then such   Holder's   remaining   portion   of the

                  Issuable   Maximum   shall   be   allocated    pro-rata   among   the

                  remaining   Holders.    If   on   any   Conversion   Date:   (1)   the

                  applicable   Conversion   Price   then in effect is such that the

                  shares of Common Stock   issuable   under this   Debenture on any

                  Conversion   Date together with the aggregate   number of shares

                  of Common Stock that would then be issuable upon conversion in

                  full of all   then   outstanding   Debentures   would   exceed   the

                  Issuable Maximum, and (2) the Company's shareholders shall not

                  have previously approved the transactions   contemplated by the

                  Transaction   Documents,   as may be required by the   applicable

                  rules and   regulations of the Trading Market (or any successor

                  entity), if any (the "Shareholder Approval"), then the Company

                  shall issue to the Holder   requesting a conversion a number of

                  shares of Common Stock equal to such Holder's pro-rata portion

                  (which shall be   calculated   pursuant to the terms   hereof) of

                   the Issuable Maximum and, with respect to the remainder of the

                  aggregate   principal   amount of the Debentures   (including any

                  accrued   interest)   then   held   by   such   Holder   for   which a

                   conversion in accordance with the applicable   conversion price

                  would   result in an   issuance   of   shares   of Common   Stock in

                  excess   of such   Holder's   pro-rata   portion   (which   shall be

                  calculated   pursuant   to the   terms   hereof)   of the   Issuable

                  Maximum   (the   "Excess   Principal"),    the   Company   shall   be

                  prohibited from converting   such Excess   Principal,   and shall

                  notify the Holder of the reason therefor. This Debenture shall

                  thereafter   be   unconvertible   to such extent until and unless

                  Shareholder Approval is subsequently   obtained or is otherwise

                  not required,   but this Debenture   shall   otherwise   remain in

                  full force and effect.

                     ii. Holder's   Restriction on Conversion.   The Company shall

                  not effect any   conversion of this   Debenture,   and the Holder

                  shall   not   have the   right to   convert   any   portion   of this

                  Debenture,   pursuant   to   Section   4(a) or   otherwise,   to the

                  extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder

                  (together with the Holder's   affiliates),   as set forth on the

                  applicable   Notice of Conversion,   would   beneficially   own in

                  excess of 4.99% of the   number of shares of the   Common   Stock

                  outstanding    immediately    after    giving    effect    to   such

                  conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number

                  of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and

                   its   affiliates   shall   include the number of shares of Common

                  Stock issuable upon   conversion of this Debenture with respect

                  to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but

                  shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would

                  be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted

                  portion of this Debenture   beneficially owned by the Holder or

                  any of its   affiliates   and (B) exercise or   conversion of the

                  unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of

                  the   Company   (including,    without    limitation,    any   other

                  Debentures   or   the   Warrants)   subject   to   a   limitation   on

                  conversion or exercise   analogous to the limitation   contained

                  herein   beneficially   owned   by   the   Holder   or   any   of   its

                  affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for

                  purposes of this Section 4(c)(ii),   beneficial ownership shall

                  be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange

                  Act.   To the   extent   that the   limitation   contained   in this

                  section applies,   the   determination of whether this Debenture

                  is convertible (in relation to other   securities   owned by the

                  Holder)   and   of   which   a   portion   of   this    Debenture    is

                   convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder. To

                  ensure   compliance with this   restriction,   the Holder will be

                  deemed to   represent   to the   Company   each time it delivers a

                  Notice of Conversion   that such Notice of   Conversion   has not

                  violated the   restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the

                  Company   shall have no   obligation   to verify or   confirm   the

                  accuracy of such   determination.   For purposes of this Section

                  4(c)(ii),   in determining the number of outstanding   shares of

                  Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding

                  shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company's   most

                  recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K,   as the case may be, (y) a more

                  recent   public   announcement   by the   Company or (z) any other

                  notice by the Company or the Company's   Transfer Agent setting

                  forth the number of shares of Common Stock   outstanding.   Upon

                  the written   request of the Holder,   the Company   shall within

                  two Trading   Days   confirm in writing to the Holder the number

                  of shares of Common Stock then   outstanding.   In any case, the

                  number   of   outstanding    shares   of   Common   Stock   shall   be

                  determined   after giving effect to the   conversion or exercise

                   of securities of the Company, including this Debenture, by the

                  Holder   or its   affiliates   since   the date as of   which   such

                  number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The

                  provisions   of this   Section   4(c)(ii)   may be   waived   by the

                  Holder upon,   at the election of the Holder,   not less than 61

                  days' prior notice to the Company,   and the provisions of this

                  Section   4(c)(ii)   shall continue to apply until such 61st day

                  (or such later date, as   determined   by the Holder,   as may be

                  specified in such notice of waiver).

                   d) Mechanics of Conversion

                     -----------------------

 

                     i. Conversion   Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal

                  Amount.   The number of shares of Common Stock   issuable upon a

                  conversion   hereunder   shall   be   determined   by the   quotient

                  obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding   principal   amount of

                  this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.

 

                     ii. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than

                  three   Trading   Days   after   any   Conversion   Date,    assuming

                  Holder's compliance with Section 4(c) hereof, the Company will

                  deliver   to   the   Holder   (A) a   certificate   or   certificates

                  representing   the   Conversion   Shares which,   if not otherwise

                  required to have a legend   pursuant   to Section   4.1(c) of the

                  Purchase   Agreement,   shall be free of restrictive legends and

                  trading   restrictions,   representing   the   number of shares of

                  Common Stock being   acquired upon the conversion of Debentures

                  (including,   if so timely   elected by the   Company,   shares of

                  Common Stock representing the payment of accrued interest) and

                  (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid   interest

                  (if the Company is required to pay accrued   interest in cash).

                   The   Company    shall,    if   available   and   if   allowed   under

                  applicable   securities   laws,   use its best efforts to deliver

                  any   certificate or   certificates   required to be delivered by

                  the   Company   under this   Section   electronically   through the

                  Depository Trust Corporation or another   established   clearing

                  corporation performing similar functions.

 

                     iii. Failure to Deliver Certificates. If in the case of any

                  Notice of Conversion such   certificate or certificates are not

                  delivered   to or as directed b
