1.2. Interest Calculations . Interest on the outstanding Principal Amount shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the date of the first issuance of the Debenture (the “ Issue Date ”) until payment or conversion in full of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts which may become due hereunder, has been made.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Debenture, this Debenture shall not be convertible by the Holder hereof, and the Borrower shall not effect any conversion of this Debenture or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto, to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such conversion or other share issuance hereunder the Holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Debenture shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Borrower for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be).

The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Debenture. By written notice to the Borrower, at any time the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Borrower, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder sending such notice and not to any other holder of Debentures.

2.3. Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion . In the event that the Holder elects to convert this Debenture into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (“ Notice of Conversion ”) to Borrower and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Conversion Amount being converted. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount and accrued Interest as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Borrower on the Conversion Date. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the “ Conversion Date ”). A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A . Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel to Borrower of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by physical delivery or crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“ DTC ”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by Borrower of the Notice of Conversion (the “ Delivery Date ”). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by Borrower of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock, unless the Holder provides Borrower written instructions to the contrary.

2.4. Late Payments . The Borrower understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Borrower agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of such shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of the Debenture, in the amount equal to $500 per business day after the Delivery Date. The Borrower shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.

2.5. Conversion Mechanics .

(a) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Debenture shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.

(b) The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

A. Reclassification, etc. If Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Debenture, as to the unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock (i) immediately prior to or (ii) immediately after such reclassification or other change at the sole election of the Holder.

B. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends . If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by Borrower in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

2.6. Reservation of Shares . During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Debenture. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Debenture shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Debenture.

2.7. Book-Entry . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article II, following 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 Borrower unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Debenture is being converted (in which event this Debenture shall be delivered to the Borrower following conversion thereof) or (B) the Holder has provided the Borrower 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 Borrower shall maintain records showing the Principal Amount and Interest converted and/or paid and/or adjusted (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments and/or adjustments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Debenture upon conversion.
