(c)

The entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition of or in respect of the Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other applicable federal or state law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuation of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 30 consecutive days; or

6.

Acceleration of Maturity.  If an event of default occurs and is continuing then, in every such case, the holder of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures, may declare the principal of the Debentures to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company of such default, and upon any such declaration, such principal shall become immediately due and payable.  At any time after such declaration of acceleration has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of money due has been obtained by the holders, the holders of a majority of the principal of the outstanding Debentures, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, if all events of default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Debentures which has become due solely by such acceleration, has been cured or waived.  No such recession shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right contingent thereon.


7.

Conversion.  Subject to, and in compliance with, the provisions contained herein, the Holder of this Debenture is entitled, at its or his option, one year from the date of issuance, or in case this Debenture or some portion hereof shall have been called for prepayment or considered in default under paragraph 5 hereof, then, in respect of this Debenture or such portion hereof, to convert this Debenture (or any portion of the principal amount hereof), into validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable restricted shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest share) of common stock, $0.001 per share of the Company, (the “Common Stock” or “Shares”) where the conversion price shall be equal to ninety percent (90%) of the CAP of the Company’s common stock (“Conversion Price”), as defined herein, subject to such adjustment in such Conversion Price, if any, as may be required by the provisions of this Debenture, by surrender of this Debenture, duly endorsed (if so required by the Company) or assigned to the Company or in blank, to the Company at its offices, accompanied by written notice to the Company, that the Holder hereof elects to convert this Debenture or, if less than the entire principal amount hereof is to be converted, the portion hereof to be converted.  The number of Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount, including any accrued but unpaid dividends, of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price. On conversion, no adjustment for interest is to be made, but if any Holder surrenders this Debenture for conversion between the record date for the payment of any installment of interest and the next interest payment date, the holder of such Debenture when surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to payment of the interest thereon from the last preceding record date for interest through the date of conversion which the registered holder is entitled to receive on such conversion date.  No fraction of Shares will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest, the Company will pay cash adjustments as provided herein. Following receipt of the written notice of intention to convert the Debenture, the Company shall take such steps as it deems appropriate to permit conversion of the Debenture as specified herein without registration or qualification under applicable federal and state securities laws.  “CAP” means, for any date, the ninety (90) day average closing price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the average closing price of the Common Stock for the prior ninety (90) days from the date the notice of conversion was received (or the nearest



-3-



date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted for trading as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)); (b) if the Common Stock is not then quoted for trading on the OTCQB or other Trading Market and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices or as reported on other electronic quotation system), the ninety (90) day average closing price or if no closing price the bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company.  “Trading Market” means the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the OTCQB.  If no closing price is listed, the bid price shall be used as the closing price.


8.

Suits for Enforcement.  If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the holder of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debenture may, in their discretion, proceed to protect and enforce their rights by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the holders shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement under this Debenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.


9.

Limitation on Suits.  No holder of any Debenture shall have any right to institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Debenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy hereunder, unless such holder has previously given written notice to the Company of a continuing event of default as provided above; it being understood and intended that no one or more holders of this Debenture shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provisions of this Debenture to effect, disturb or prejudice the right of any other holders of Debentures, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other holders or to enforce any right under this Debenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the holders of the Debenture.


10.

Acts of Holders.  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action provided by this Debenture to be given or taken by the holder hereof or by the holders of the Debentures may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such holders in person or by their agent or attorney-in-fact, duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Company in the manner provided for giving notices herein.  Such instrument or instruments, and the action embodied therein or evidenced thereby, are herein sometimes referred to as the “act” of the holders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Debenture if the fact and date of execution by any person of any purpose of the Debenture if the fact and date of execution by any person of any such instrument or writing is verified by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action by the holder of this Debenture shall bind every Debenture holder of the same Debenture and the holder of every Debenture issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by any person in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Debenture.
