PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; METHOD OF PAYMENT
1.1. Payment of Principal and Interest. Payment of the principal and accrued interest on this Debenture shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year for the number of days elapsed) on the unpaid portion of said principal amount from time to time outstanding shall be paid by the Company at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, in like coin and currency, or at the option of the Company, in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), payable to the Payee on the Maturity Date. Interest shall accrue from the Issuance Date. Both principal hereof and interest thereon are payable at the Holder’s address above or such other address as the Holder shall designate from time to time by written notice to the Company. The Company will pay or cause to be paid all sums becoming due hereon for principal and interest by check, sent to the Holder’s above address or to such other address as the Holder may designate for such purpose from time to time by written notice to the Company, without any requirement for the presentation of this Debenture or making any notation thereon, except that the Holder hereof agrees that payment of the final amount due shall be made only upon surrender of this Debenture to the Company for cancellation.

If the Company elects to pay the interest due on the Maturity Date in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, the number of shares issued as payment of the accrued interest shall be equal to the quotient of the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest divided by the Market Price (as defined in Section 4.1 hereof) on the Maturity Date. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares will be issued upon the payment of accrued interest, but a payment in cash will be made, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable in connection with the payment of accrued interest in shares of Common Stock.

All payments received by the Holder shall be applied first to the payment of all accrued interest payable hereunder.
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION AND OTHER RIGHTS
2.1. Automatic Conversion into Common Stock. The Holder acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to fully convert the amounts due under this Debenture into shares of Common Stock. Therefore, the Holder further acknowledges that this Debenture may not be converted into shares of Common Stock except in the circumstances described in this Section 2.1. The entire principal amount of this Debenture and all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder, without any further action by the Holder, shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock immediately upon the effectiveness of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation that increases the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to a level sufficient to allow all amounts due under this Debenture (including principal and accrued and unpaid interest) to convert into shares of Common Stock. Upon the automatic conversion of this Debenture, this Debenture shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled. The aggregate principal amount of this Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to [$0.005] [$0.0122] (“Conversion Price”), subject to the adjustments as provided for in Section 2.4. Interest shall accrue to and include the day prior to the date of conversion and shall be paid upon conversion of this Debenture. Accrued and unpaid interest shall be convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest divided by the Market Price (as defined in Section 3.1 hereof) on the date this Debenture converts. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but a payment in cash will be made, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture. The Company shall deliver a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion and a check for any fractional share.

2.2. No Transfer of Debenture; Issuance of Common Stock Upon Conversion. This Debenture is not divisible or transferable.
Subject to the terms of this Debenture, upon surrender of this Debenture, the Company shall issue and deliver with all reasonable dispatch a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock due to such Holder upon the conversion of this Debenture. The Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the date of the conversion of this Debenture.
2.3. Covenants.
(a) Issuance and Shares of Common Stock upon Conversion. The Company covenants that all of the shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon conversion of this Debenture shall, at the time of delivery, and, subject to Section 2.4 hereof, be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof (other than those which the Company shall promptly pay or discharge).
(b) Restrictive Legend. Each certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder following the conversion of this Debenture shall bear the following restrictive legend or a similar legend until such time as the transfer of such security is not restricted under the federal securities laws:

2.4. Adjustment of Conversion Price and Number of Underlying Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture and the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the date of this Debenture effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock or combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall have the right to convert the Holder’s interests into the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder would have owned after the event had such shares of Common Stock been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. Any adjustment under this Section 2.4(a) shall become effective as of the date and time such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
3
(b) No Impairment. The Company will not, through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company.
(c) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, or in any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock (such rights or options or warrants being herein called “Options”) or in any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called “Convertible Securities”) or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(d) Actions to Maintain Conversion Price Above Par Value. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment in the Conversion Price such that, upon conversion of this Debenture, shares of Common Stock with par value, if any, would be deemed to be issued below the then par value of the Common Stock, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be reasonably necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price as so adjusted.
(e) Certificate of Adjustment. In any case of an adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, the chief financial officer or the president of the Company shall compute such adjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare and sign a certificate showing such adjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder of this Debenture at the Holder’s address as shown in the Company’s books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a statement of the number of shares of Common Stock and the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of this Debenture.
(f) Notices of Record Date. In the event of (i) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, (ii) any reclassification or recapitalization of Common Stock, (iii) any sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person (as defined in Section 3.1 hereof), (iv) any consolidation, merger or other transaction which is effected in such a way that holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets of another Person with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock (being herein called a “Restructuring”) or (v) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder of this Debenture, not less than ten (10) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date on which the books of the Company shall close, the record date specified therein or the effective date thereof as the case may be, a notice specifying (A) the material terms and conditions of the proposed action, (B) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (C) the date on which any such sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, Restructuring, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (D) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, Restructuring, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
