Section 3.3 Mechanics of Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date (the “Delivery Date”), the Maker shall deliver to the Holder by express courier a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of all or part of this Note. If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Maker at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion (if so tendered), whereupon the Maker and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation.
 
Section 3.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price.
 
(a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
(i) Adjustments for Subdivisions, Common Stock Dividends, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or increased, by stock split or stock dividend, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or payment of such stock dividend, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification, reverse stock split, redemption or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
 
(ii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination or shares provided for above), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted such that the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the Holder upon conversion of this Note immediately before that change.
 
-4-

(iii) Adjustments for Merger, Sale, Lease or Conveyance. In the event of any consolidation with or merger of the Maker with or into another entity, or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another person or entity of the assets of the Maker as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance) upon conversion of this Note would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of this Note.
 
(iv) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustment Under this Section. The following provisions will be applicable to the adjustments in Conversion Price as provided in this Section 3.4:
 
(1) The number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares thereof then directly or indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Maker.
 
(2) In case the Maker shall take any action affecting the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock other than an action described in any of the foregoing subsections above, inclusive, which would have an inequitable effect on the Holder, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors of the Maker on the advice of the Maker’s independent public accountants may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
 
(3) No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of any such adjustment would be an amount less than one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price then in effect, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereof shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate an increase or decrease of one percent (1%) or more.
 
(4) The Conversion Price shall not be adjusted upward except in the event of a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock.
 
(v) Adjustments for Sale of Securities. If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Conversion Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price), then, at the sole option of the Holder, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to mirror the conversion, exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including any reset provisions thereof) at issue. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than one (1) business day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms. No adjustment under this Section shall be made as a result of issuances of Excluded Securities.
 
-5-

Excluded Securities” shall mean shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued or issuable at any time after the date hereof pursuant to the following:

(2) in connection with the acquisition of another business entity by the Company by merger or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or equity securities of such other entity, approved by the Company’s Board of Directors;

(4) securities issued upon the exchange, exercise or conversion of presently outstanding securities which are directly or indirectly, convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock.
 
(b) Record Date. In the event that the Maker shall propose at any time:
 
(i) to declare any dividend or distribution (other than by purchase of Common Stock of employees, officers and directors pursuant to the termination of such persons or pursuant to the Maker’s exercise of rights of first refusal with respect to Common Stock held by such persons) of its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
 
(ii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its shares of Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
 
(iii) to merge or consolidate with or into any other entity, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, this Maker shall send to the Holder:
 
-6-

(1) at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend or distribution (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (i) and (ii) above; and
 
(2) in the case of the matters referred to in (ii) and (iii) above, at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
 
Each such written notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address first set forth above. Any such action shall at all times be subject to the voting rights and other rights, preferences and privileges of the Holder set forth herein.
 
(c) No Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action (other than actions taken in good faith), avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Section 3.4 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment.
 
(d) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this section, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustments and readjustments, (B) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note.
 
(e) Issue Taxes. The Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.
 
-7-

(f) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock into which this Note is convertible for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date. The term “Closing Bid Price” shall mean, on any particular date (i) the last closing bid price per share of the Common Stock on such date on the OTC Bulletin Board or another registered national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the last closing bid price on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest preceding such date, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed then on the OTC Bulletin Board or any registered national stock exchange, the last trading price for a share of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of business on such date, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the “Pink Sheet” quotes for the relevant conversion period, as determined in good faith by the Holder, or (iv) if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as reasonably determined by the Maker and reasonably acceptable to the Holder.
 
(g) Reservation of Common Stock.
 
(i) The Maker shall reserve for issuance such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note. In the event that at any time when this Note shall be outstanding the Maker shall not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock for the purpose of effecting the conversion of all amounts outstanding under this Note, it shall take all action necessary to increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock until such time as the Maker’s Certificate of Incorporation shall have been amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to such number as would, at a minimum, permit the reservation by the Maker of sufficient shares to allow conversion of all amounts outstanding under this Note as provided herein. The inability of the Maker to reserve the required number of shares of Common Stock required by this Section 3.4(g) shall have no impact on the rank, rights, preferences and privileges of the Common Stock, all of which shall be interpreted and applied as if the Maker had sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized but unissued to effect any conversion. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note or which would cause the effective purchase price for the Common Stock to be less than the par value of the shares of Common Stock, the Maker shall take any and all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Maker may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price or effective purchase price, as the case may be.
 
(h) Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
 
Section 3.5 No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Maker.
