1. Original
Issue Discount.
The
Lender shall purchase this Debenture at a price equal to 80% of the Issue Amount
which shall represent a 20% Original Issue Discount.
2. Terms
of Repayment.
Principal of and interest on this Debenture shall be paid by the Company as
follows:
(a) Interest
at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date hereof through
the
Maturity Date shall be paid monthly by the Company in cash or, at the sole
option of the Company, in registered shares of the Company’s common stock, no
par value (“Common Stock”) at the average closing bid price of the Common Stock
for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the payment date. Interest
payments shall be delivered to the Lender within five (5) business days of
the
first day of each month.
(b) Principal
shall be due and payable on the one-year anniversary of the date of issue of
this Debenture. The principal amount shall be repaid in cash and in full on
the
date it is due.
(c) The
Company further agrees that, if any payment made by the Company or any other
person is applied to this Debenture and is at any time annulled, set aside,
rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise
required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any property hereafter
pledged as security for this Debenture is required to be returned by Lender
to
the Company, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including,
without limitation, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law
or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the
Company’s liability hereunder (and any lien, security interest or other
collateral securing such liability) shall be and remain in full force and
effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made, or, if prior thereto
any such lien, security interest or other collateral hereunder securing the
Company’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue
of such cancellation or surrender, this Debenture (and such lien, security
interest or other collateral) shall be reinstated in full force and effect,
and
such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge,
impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company in respect to the
amount of such payment (or any lien, security interest or other collateral
securing such obligation).
(d) All
computations of interest shall be made by Lender on the basis of a year of
360
days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the
last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Whenever
any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is
not
a business day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding day and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment
of interest.
(e) The
Company may prepay all or any part of the outstanding principal amount of this
Debenture, together with interest accrued, if any, excluding the interest that
was prepaid as described in Section 1 (a) above on the amount prepaid through
the date of prepayment, plus a premium, upon not fewer than ten (10) trading
days’ prior written notice to the Lender. In the event such prepayment occurs,
the amount paid shall be 125% of the prepaid principal plus any accrued
interest.

earlier of: (a) September 1, 2008; or (b) the date that 100% of the Company’s
outstanding and unconverted Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is mandatorily
converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s
Certificate of Determination of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Restructure Election Date”), the
Company shall have the option to convert this Debenture, which shall at such
time be deemed fully paid and shall be terminated, cancelled, and deemed null
and void, to a Secured Convertible Debenture that, at the sole option of the
Investor, is convertible into common stock of the Company (the “Restructure”).
The Company’s option to Restructure shall expire on the tenth day of September
2008 (the “Restructure Expiration Date”), unless all parties mutually agree in
writing to extend the Restructure Expiration Date. In the event that the Company
elects to Restructure, the Company shall deliver to the Investors an executed

executed Secured Convertible Debenture. Upon receipt of the Notice, Board

in its originally executed form, to the Company for cancellation.
4. Liability

The
Company is unconditionally, and without regard to the liability of any other
person, liable for the payment and performance of this Debenture and such
liability shall not be affected by an extension of time, renewal, waiver, or
modification of this Debenture or the release, substitution, or addition of
collateral for this Debenture. Each person signing this Debenture consents
