Amounts made pursuant to Section 1(a) shall not be subject to any Redemption

redemption (the "Redemption Notice") setting forth the amount of Principal it

desires to redeem. After receipt of the Redemption Notice the Holder shall have

three (3) Business Days to elect to convert all or any portion of this

Debenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4 (d).

(4) CONVERSION OF DEBENTURE. This Debenture shall be convertible into

shares of the Company's Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in

this Section 4.

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(c), at any

time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to

convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined

below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance

with Section 4(b), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The number of

shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount

pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such

Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the "Conversion Rate"). The

Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any

conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a

share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of

Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all

transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the

issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

(i) "Conversion Amount" means the portion of the Principal to be converted,

redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.

(ii) "Conversion Price" means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below)

or other date of determination, $5.60, subject to adjustment as provided herein

(the "Fixed Conversion Price"). Provided however in the event that an Event of

 

5

<PAGE>

Default has occurred which remained uncured for a period of ten (10) business

days from the date of receipt of written notice from the Holder to cure such

Event of Default the Conversion Price shall mean the lesser of a) the Fixed

Conversion Price then in effect or b) eighty percent (80%) of the lowest Volume

Weighted Average Price during the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding

the Conversion Date (the "Market Conversion Price").

(b) Forced Conversion. Provided that the Underlying Shares Registration

Statement is effective, and no Event of Default has occurred, if for a period of

twenty (20) out of twenty five (25) consecutive Trading Days i) the Volume

Weighted Average Price of the Company's Common Stock is at or above one hundred

twenty five percent (125%) of the then effective Conversion Price and ii) the

average daily trading volume of the Company's Common Stock, as quoted by

Bloomberg LP, exceeds two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares the Company

shall have the right to cause the Holder to convert all or a portion of then

outstanding principal hereunder, subject to Section 4(d)(i), herein pursuant to

the Sections 4(a) and (c) herein.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of

Common Stock on any date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by

facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New

York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form

attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company and (B) if

required by Section 4(b)(iv), surrender this Debenture to a nationally

recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an

indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect

to this Debenture in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before

the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the

"Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be

placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase

Agreement and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the

Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program,

credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall

be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through

its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is

not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue

and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate,

registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares

of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall

not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to Section 2(g) of the

Securities Purchase Agreement. If this Debenture is physically surrendered for

conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Debenture is greater than the

Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company

shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days

after receipt of this Debenture and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the

holder a new Debenture representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The

Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a

conversion of this Debenture shall be treated for all purposes as the record

holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a

Conversion Notice. In the event of a partial conversion of this Debenture

pursuant hereto, the principal amount converted shall be deducted from the

 

6

<PAGE>

Installment Amounts relating to the Installment Dates as set forth in the

Conversion Notice.

(ii) Company's Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Trading Days

after the Company's receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the

Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit

the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock

to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of any Conversion

Amount (a "Conversion Failure"), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder

purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver

in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such

conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"),

then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's

request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an

amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage

commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common

Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation

to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or

(ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or

certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an

amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A)

such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the

Conversion Date.

(iii) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth

herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Debenture in accordance with the

terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this

Debenture to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by

this Debenture is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company

with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice)

requesting reissuance of this Debenture upon physical surrender of this

Debenture. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the

Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use

such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as

not to require physical surrender of this Debenture upon conversion.

(d) Limitations on Conversions.

(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any conversions of

this Debenture and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of

this Debenture or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest

hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt

of such interest payment, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would

beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange

Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of

shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such

conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. Since the Holder will

not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock

it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at

issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99%

of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other

shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof,

the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the

 

7

<PAGE>

restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion

hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation

contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the

principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be the responsibility

and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice

for a principal amount of this Debenture that, without regard to any other

shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in

the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall

notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum

principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance

with Section 4(a) and, any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of

the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Debenture.

The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself

and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the

Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

(ii) The Total Transaction Shares shall not be greater than 199,500 shares

(which is less than 19.99% of the 998,667 outstanding shares of Common Stock as

of the date of this Debenture), until the Company's shareholders approve

(without the vote of any shares acquired in this transaction and related

transactions) the issuance of the Total Transaction Shares in excess of 19.99%

of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock.

 

(e) Other Provisions.

(i) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its

authorized Common Stock the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon

conversion of all outstanding amounts under this Debenture; and within three (3)

Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder's notice that

such minimum number of Underlying Shares is not so reserved, the Company shall

promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply with

such requirement.

(ii) All calculations under this Section 4 shall be rounded to the nearest

$0.0001 or whole share.

(iii) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep

available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for

the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of

interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights

or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder,

not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any

additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set

forth in this Debenture or in the Transaction Documents) be issuable (taking

into account the adjustments and restrictions set forth herein) upon the
