       Legend International Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") with principal offices at 2000 Hamilton Street, #520, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania 19130-3883, for value received, hereby promises to pay the
registered holder hereof (the "Holder") the principal sum set forth above on
_________________, 20___ (the "Maturity Date"), in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment shall be the legal tender
for the payment of public and private debts, and to pay interest, less any
amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, computed on the basis of a
365-day year, on the unpaid principal balance hereof from the date hereof (the
"Original Issue Date"), at the rate of 8% per year, until such principal sum
shall have become due and payable, or has been converted by the Holder pursuant
to Section 6, below. Interest payments will be made at the option of the Holder
in either cash or in such number of shares of the Company's common stock, $.001
par value ("Common Stock"), computed in accordance with Section 5.2 below and
shall be paid, on _________________, 20___ and quarterly thereafter until
Maturity, or if the principal of the Debenture is earlier converted, upon
conversion pursuant to Section 6, below. All references herein to dollar
amounts refer to U.S. dollars.

       By acceptance and purchase of this Debenture, the registered holder
hereof agrees with the Company that the Debenture shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions:

       1. Authorization of Debentures. The Company has authorized the issue and
sale of its 8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due
_________________, 20___ (the "Debenture," such term includes any debentures
which may be issued in exchange or in replacement thereof) in the aggregate
principal amount of not more than U.S. $1,000,000.

       2. Transfer or Exchange. Prior to due presentation to the Company for
transfer of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat
the person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the Company's
Debenture Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as
herein provided and for all other purposes.

       3. Current Market Price. For purposes of this Debenture, "Current Market
Price" of the Common stock means:

             (a) If traded on a securities exchange, the average closing bid
       price of the Common Stock on such exchange  for the  fifteen  (15)
       trading  days immediately prior to conversion;

             (b) If traded over the counter, the average closing bid price
       reported by Bloomberg from the NASD OTC Bulletin Board for the fifteen
       (15) trading days immediately prior to conversion; or

             (c) In all other events, the market price determined by the Board
       of Directors of the Company in good faith.

       4. Prepayment; Payment of Interest in Shares.

             4.1 Optional Prepayment of Debenture. The Company may prepay the
       Debenture.

             4.2 Payment of Interest in Shares. Prior to the conversion of the
       principal amount of the Debenture, the Company will issue to the Holder,
       at the Holder's option, in lieu of cash interest, shares of Common Stock
       calculated in accordance with the following formula (the "Conversion
       Rate"):

             Interest Shares = (.8 x *Principal) / Conversion Price, where

             *Principal = the Principal Amount of the Debenture, and

             *Conversion Price = US$0.10

       5. Conversion of Debentures.

             5.1 Conversion of the Debenture.

                    (a) Right to Convert. The record holder of this Debenture
             shall be entitled, on or after _________________, 20___, at the
             option of the Holder, to convert this Debenture, in whole but not
             in part, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the
             Company's Common Stock at the rate of US$0.10 per share.

             5.2 Exercise of Conversion Privilege. In order to exercise the
       conversion privilege, the Holder shall surrender such Debenture,
       together with the Notice of Conversion annexed hereto as Exhibit 1
       appropriately endorsed to the Company at its principal office,
       accompanied by written notice to the Company (a) stating that the Holder
       elects to convert the Debenture or a portion thereof, and if a portion,
       the amount of such portion in multiples of US$1,000 in principal amount,
       and (b) setting forth the name or names (with address) in which the
       certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon
       such conversion shall be issued. Provided the Debenture is received
       properly endorsed promptly by the Company, the date of conversion of
       such Debenture shall be deemed to be the date of receipt of Notice of
       Conversion, even if the Company's stock transfer books are at that time
       closed, and the converting Holder shall be deemed to have become, on the
       date of conversion, the record holder of the shares of Common Stock
       deliverable upon such conversion. If the Debenture is not received,
       properly endorsed by the fifth business day following the date the
       Company receives Notice of Conversion, the date of conversion shall be
       deemed to be the date the Debenture is received, provided that such
       later receipt will not lower the Conversion Price stated in the Notice
       of Conversion.

             As soon as reasonably possible after the date of conversion, the
       Company shall issue and deliver to such converting Holder a certificate
       or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock due on such
       conversion. No adjustments in respect of interest or cash dividends
       shall be made upon the conversion of any Debenture or Debentures.

             Upon conversion of the Debenture in part, the Company shall
       execute and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the
       Company, a new Debenture, in aggregate principal amount equal to the
       unconverted portion of such Debenture. Such new Debenture shall have the
       same terms and provisions other than the principal amount as the
       Debenture or Debentures surrendered for conversion.

             5.3 Duration of Conversion Privilege. The right to subscribe for
       and purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion privilege
       granted herein shall commence on the _________________, 20___ and shall
       expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time on _________________, 20___.

             5.4 Stock Fully Paid; Restricted. The Company covenants and agrees
       that:

                    (a) all shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
             conversion privilege granted herein will, upon issuance in
             accordance with the terms hereof, be fully paid, nonassessable,
             and free from all taxes, liens and charges (except for taxes, if
             any, upon the income of the Holder) with respect to the issue
             thereof, and that the issuance thereof shall not give rise to any
             preemptive rights on the part of the stockholders;

                    (b) the failure of the Company to issue shares upon the
             conversion of the Debenture will cause the holder immediate
             irreparable harm.

             5.5 Antidilution Provisions. The following provisions apply to the
       Debenture:

             (a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a
       distribution in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding
       shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock,
       (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
       number of shares of Common Stock, (iv) make a distribution on its Common
       Stock in shares of its capital stock other than Common Stock, or (v)
       issue by  reclassification  of its Common Stock other securities of the
       Company, the conversion privilege of the Debenture and the Conversion
       Price then in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that
       the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of
       Common Stock and other securities of the Company which it would have
       owned or would have been entitled to receive after the happening of any
       of the events described above, had the Debenture been converted
       immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with
       respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a)
       shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such
       event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

             (b) When the number of shares of Common Stock or the Conversion
       Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall cause to be
       promptly mailed to the Holder by first class mail, postage prepaid,
       notice of such adjustment or adjustments and a certificate of a firm of
       independent public accountants selected by the Board of Directors of the
       Company (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company)
       setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock and the Conversion
       Price after such adjustment, a brief  statement  of the facts  requiring
       such adjustment  and the  computation  by which such adjustment was
       made.

             (c) For the purpose of this Section 5.5, the following shall
       apply:

                    (i)   The term "Common Stock" shall mean (A) the class of
             stock designated as the Common Stock of the Company at the date of
             this Debenture or (B) any other class of stock resulting from
             successive changes or reclassification of such Common Stock
             consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no
             par value, or from no par value to par value. In the event that at
             any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
             Section 5.5, the Holder shall become entitled to receive any
             securities upon conversion of the Company other than shares of
             Common Stock thereafter the number of such other securities and
             the Conversion Price of such securities shall be subject to
             adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
             equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the
             Common Stock  contained in this Section 5.5.

                    (ii)   If the  Common  Stock is  traded on a securities
             exchange or over the counter, the "Current Market Price" for
             purposes of this Section 5.5 shall mean the average of the Current
             Market  Prices  for  the  five consecutive trading days
             immediate1y prior to the date of the event which necessitates an
             adjustment to the Conversion Price.

             5.6 No Adjustment for Dividends. Except as provided in Section
       5.5, no adjustment in respect to any dividends paid shall be made during
       the term of the Debenture or upon the exercise of the Debenture.

             5.7 Preservation of Purchase Rights Upon Reclassification
       Consolidation. Etc. In the case of any consolidation of the Company with
       or merger of the Company into another corporation or in the case of any
       sale or conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of
       the property, assets or business of the Company, the Company or such
       successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall provide
       that the Holder shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the
       Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action to purchase
       upon conversion of the Debenture the kind and amount of shares and other
       securities and property which the Holder would have owned or have been
       entitled to receive  after the  happening of such consolidation, merger,
       sale or conveyance had the Debenture been converted immediately prior to
       such action. Such agreement shall provide for adjustments, which shall
       be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
       provided for in this Section 5. The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall
       similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
       conveyances.

             5.8 Par Value of Common Stock. 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 the
       Debenture, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the
       opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may
       validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
       Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

             5.9 Statement on Debenture Certificates. Irrespective of any
       adjustments in the Conversion Price or the number of securities
       convertible, this Debenture certificate or any certificates hereafter
       issued may continue to express the same price and number of securities
       as are stated in this Debenture certificate. However, the Company may at
       any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any
       change in the form of the Debenture certificate that it may deem
       appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof; and any
       Debenture certificate thereafter issued, whether upon registration or
       transfer of, or in exchange or substitution for, an outstanding
       Debenture certificate, may be in the form so changed.

       6. Restrictions on Transferability. The Debenture and the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Debenture shall not be transferred,
hypothecated or assigned before satisfaction of the conditions specified in
this Section 6, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the Transfer of any Debenture
or any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture. Holder, by
acceptance of this Debenture, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this
Section 6.

             6.1 Restrictive Legend. The Holder by accepting this Debenture and
       any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture agrees that
       this Debenture and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion hereof may
       not be assigned or otherwise transferred unless and until (i) the
       Company has received an opinion of counsel for the Holder that such
       securities may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration  under
       the Securities Act or (ii) a registration statement relating to such
       securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the
       Commission.

                    (a)   Each certificate for Common Stock issuable hereunder
             shall bear a legend substantially worded as follows unless such
             securities have been sold pursuant to an effective registration
             statement under the Securities Act:

                    "The securities represented by this certificate have not
             been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
             "Act") or any state securities laws. The securities may not be
             offered for sale, sold, assigned, offered, transferred or
             otherwise distributed for value except (i) pursuant to an
             effective registration statement under the Act or any state
             securities laws or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from registration
             or prospectus delivery requirements under the Act or any state
             securities laws in respect of which the Company has received an
             opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to such effect."

                    (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6, the
             Debenture shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in
             substantially the following form:

                    "This Debenture and the securities represented hereby have
             not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
             or any state securities laws and may not be transferred in
             violation of such Act, the rules and regulations thereunder or any
             state securities laws or the provisions of this Debenture."

             6.2 Notice of Proposed Transfers. Prior to any Transfer or
       attempted Transfer of any Debenture or any shares of Restricted Common
       Stock, the Holder shall give five (5) days' prior written notice (a
       "Transfer Notice") to the Company of Holder's intention to effect such
       Transfer, describing the manner and circumstances of the proposed
       Transfer, and obtain from counsel to Holder an opinion that the proposed
       Transfer of such Debenture or such Restricted Common Stock may be
       effected without  registration under the Securities Act or state
       securities laws. After the Company's receipt of the Transfer Notice and
       opinion, such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to Transfer such
       Debenture or such Restricted Common Stock, in accordance with the terms
       of the Transfer Notice. Each certificate, if any, evidencing such shares
       of Restricted Common Stock issued upon such Transfer and the Debenture
       issued upon such Transfer shall bear the restrictive legends set forth
       in Section 6.1, unless in the opinion of such counsel such legend is not
       required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.

             6.3 Termination of Restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing
       provisions of Section 6, the restrictions imposed by this Section upon
       the transferability of the Debentures, the Common Stock issuable upon
       conversion and the Restricted Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable
       upon the conversion of the Debenture) and the legend requirements of
       Section 6.1 shall terminate as to any particular Debenture or Restricted
       Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the
       Debenture) (i) when and so long as such security shall have been
       effectively registered under the Securities Act and applicable state
       securities laws and disposed of pursuant thereto or (ii) when the
       Company shall have received an opinion of counsel that such shares may
       be transferred without registration thereof under the Securities Act and
       applicable state securities laws. Whenever the restrictions imposed by
       Section 6 shall terminate as to this Debenture, as hereinabove provided,
       the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company upon
       written request of the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new
       Debenture bearing the following legend in place of the restrictive
       legend set forth hereon:

             "THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF THE WITHIN DEBENTURE
       CONTAINED IN SECTION 6 HEREOF ARE TERMINATED ON AND ARE OF NO FURTHER
       FORCE AND EFFECT."

             All Debentures issued upon registration of transfer, division or
       combination of, or in substitution for, any Debenture or entitled to
       bear such legend shall have a similar legend endorsed thereon. Whenever
       the restrictions imposed by this Section shall terminate as to any share
       of Restricted Common Stock, as hereinabove provided, the holder thereof
       shall be entitled to receive from the Company, at the Company's expense,
       a new certificate representing such Common Stock not bearing the
       restrictive legends set forth in Section 6.1.

             6.4 Listing on Securities Exchange. If the Company shall list any
       shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange, it will, at its
       expense, list thereon, maintain and, when necessary, increase such
       listing of, all shares of Common Stock issued or, to the extent
       permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, issuable
       upon the conversion of this Debenture so long as any shares of Common
       Stock shall be so listed during the Exercise Period.

       7. Piggyback Registrations. If, at any time, the Company proposes or is
required to register any of its equity securities or securities convertible or
exchangeable for equity securities under the Securities Act (other than
pursuant to registrations on such form or similar form(s) solely for
registration of securities in connection with an employee benefit plan or
dividend reinvestment plan or a merger, consolidation or acquisition) on a
registration statement on Form S-1, Form SB-2 or Form S-3 (or an equivalent
general registration form then in effect), whether or not for its own account,
the Company shall give prompt written notice of its intention to do so to each
of the Holders of record of the Debentures. Upon the written request of any
Holder, made within 15 days following the receipt of any such written notice
(which request shall specify the maximum number of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Debenture intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the
intended method of distribution thereof), the Company shall use its best
efforts to cause all such Common Stock, the Holders of which have so requested
the registration thereof, to be registered under the Securities Act (with the
securities which the Company at the time proposes to register) to permit the
sale or other disposition by the Holders (in accordance with the intended
method of distribution thereof) of the Common Stock to be so registered. There
is no limitation on the number of such piggyback registrations pursuant to the
preceding sentence which the Company is obligated to effect.

             7.1 Abandonment or Delay. If, at any time after giving written
       notice of its intention to register any equity securities and prior to
       the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection
       with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not
       to register or to delay registration of such equity securities, the
       Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination
       to all Holders and (i) in the case of a determination not to register,
       shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Common Stock
       issuable upon conversion of the Debenture in connection with such
       abandoned registration, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay
       such registration of its equity securities, shall be permitted to delay
       the registration of such Common Stock for the same period as the delay
       in registering such other equity securities.

             7.2 Holder's Right to Withdraw. Any Holder shall have the right to
       withdraw its request for inclusion of its Common Stock in any
       registration statement pursuant to this Section 7 by giving written
       notice to the Company of its request to withdraw; provided, however,
       that (i) such request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of
       the execution of the underwriting agreement or the execution of the
       custody agreement with respect to such registration, and (ii) such
       withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, a
       Holder shall no longer have any right to include such Common Stock in
       the registration as to which such withdrawal was made.

             7.3 Cutbacks. If the managing underwriter of any underwritten
offering shall inform the Company by letter of its belief that the number of
shares of Common Stock requested to be included in a registration under this
Section 7 would materially adversely affect such offering, then the Company
will include in such registration, first the securities proposed by the Company
to be sold for its own account and, second the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion and all other securities of the Company to be included in such
registration to the extent of the number and type, if any, which the Company is
so advised can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering, pro rata among
the Holders participating in such offering in accordance with the number of
shares of Common Stock held by each such Holder.

       8. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be
issued in connection with any subscription hereunder but in lieu of such
fractional shares, the Company shall make a cash payment therefor equal in
amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Conversion
Price then in effect.

       9. Subordination. Any right of the Holder to payment of principal or
interest from the Company shall be subordinated to the claims and rights of the
holders of the Senior Debt ("Senior Debt Holders"). "Senior Debt" means all
Indebtedness of the Company other than the Debentures, whether outstanding on
the date of execution of this Debenture or thereafter created, incurred or
assumed, except (x) any such Indebtedness that by the terms of the instrument
or instruments by which such Indebtedness was created, assumed or incurred
expressly provides that it (i) is junior in right of payment to the Debentures
or (ii) ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Debentures and (y) any
amendments, modifications or supplements to, or any renewals, extensions,
deferrals, refinancing and refunding of, any of the foregoing. Any cash payment
of principal or interest to the Holder shall be collected, enforced or received
by the Holder as trustee for the Senior Debt Holders and paid over to the
Senior Debt Holders. The Holder agrees that in the event of any payment of
principal or interest by the Company to the Holder by reason of any
receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, or proceeding for
reorganization or readjustment of the Company or its properties, or otherwise,
then, in any such event, the Senior Debt Holders shall be preferred in the
payment of their claims over the claim of the Holder to payment of principal or
interest against the Company or its properties, and the claims of the Senior
Debt Holders shall be first paid and satisfied in full before any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property, shall be
made to the Holder. Provided, however, that this Section 9 shall not apply to
any payment of principal or interest made to the Holder while the Company is
solvent and not in default with respect to its Senior Debt.

       10. Replacement of Debenture Certificate. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Company of the certificate loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of the Debenture certificate and, in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction, upon delivery of a bond of indemnity satisfactory to the
Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of the Debenture  certificate,  the Company will issue a new
Debenture certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed
or mutilated Debenture certificate.

       11. Covenants of the Company. So long as any of the Debentures remain
outstanding, the Company shall:

             (a) At all times keep reserved the total number of shares of
       Common Stock necessary for the conversion of all of the then outstanding
       Debentures at the then current Conversion Rate;

             (b) Not pay any dividends in cash and/or property or other assets
       of the Company in respect of its Common Stock or otherwise.

             (c) Not issue any debentures of the Company other than the
       Debentures unless the rights of the holders of such debentures are
       subordinated to the Debentures, in which event the terms of the
       subordination provision shall be similar to the terms set forth in
       Section 9 of this Debenture;

             (d)   Not enter into a loan secured by the property and/or assets
       of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with (i) any director, officer
       or 5% stockholder of the Company, (ii) any entity in which a director,
       officer or 5% stockholder has an interest as an officer, director,
       partner, beneficiary of a trust or is a 5% or more equity holder of such
       entity, or (iii) any parent, spouse, child or grandchild of an officer,
       director or 5% stockholder of the Company upon terms no less favorable
       to the Company than those which could be obtained from an "arms-length"
       lender; and

             (e) Not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of the
common or preferred stock of the Company.

       12. Default. If any of the following events (herein called "Events of
Default") shall occur:

             (a) if the Company shall default in the payment or prepayment of
       any part of the principal of any of the Debentures after the same shall
       become due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for
       prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise, and such default shall
       continue for more than 30 days; or

             (b) if the Company shall default in the payment of any installment
       of interest on any of the Debentures for more than 30 days after the
       same shall become due and payable; or

             (c) if the Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of
       creditors or shall be unable to pay its debts as they become due; or

             (d) if the Company  shall  dissolve;  terminate its existence;
       become insolvent on a balance sheet basis; commence a  voluntary  case
       under the  federal bankruptcy laws or under any other federal or state
       law relating to insolvency or debtor's relief; permit the entry of a
       decree or order for relief against the Company in an involuntary case
       under the federal bankruptcy laws or under any other applicable federal
       or state law relating to insolvency or debtor's relief; permit the
       appointment or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or
       custodian of the Company or of any of the Company's property; make an
       assignment for the benefit of creditors; or admit in writing to be
       failing generally to pay its debts as such debts become due;

             (e) if the Company shall default in the performance of or
       compliance with any agreement, condition or term contained in this
       Debenture or any of the other Debentures and such default shall not have
       been cured within 30 days after such default,

             (f) Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company
       herein, in the Subscription Agreement, or in any certificate or
       financial or other statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on
       behalf of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of
       this Debenture or the Subscription Agreement shall be false or
       misleading in any material respect at the time made; or

             (g) Any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment, or similar
       process not covered by insurance in excess of One Hundred Thousand
       Dollars  (US$100,000) in the aggregate shall be entered or filed against
       the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain
       unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days
       or in any event later than ten (10) days prior to the date of any
       proposed sale thereunder; or then and in any such event the Holder of
       this Debenture shall have the option (unless the default shall have
       theretofore been cured) by written notice to the Company to declare the
       Debenture to be due and payable, whereupon the Debenture shall forthwith
       mature and become due and payable, at the applicable prepayment price on
       the date of such notice, without presentment, demand, protest or further
       notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything
       contained in this Debenture to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon the
       occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify the
       Holder of this Debenture in writing setting out the nature of the
       default in reasonable detail.

       13. Remedies on Default; Notice to Other Holders. In case any one or
more of the Events of Default shall occur, the Holder may proceed to protect
and enforce his or her rights by a suit in equity, action at law or other
appropriate proceeding, whether, to the extent permitted by law, for the
specific performance of any agreement of the Company contained herein or in aid
of the exercise of any power granted hereby. If any Holder of one or more of
the Debentures shall declare the same due and payable or take any other action
against the Company in respect of an Event of Default, the Company will
forthwith give written notice to the Holder of this Debenture, specifying such
action and the nature of the default alleged.

       14. Amendments. With the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding, the
Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, may enter
into a supplementary agreement for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Debenture
or of any supplemental agreement or modifying in any manner the rights and
obligations of the holders of Debentures or Common Stock issued upon conversion
of the Debentures, and of the Company, provided, however, that no such
supplemental agreement shall (a) extend the fixed maturity of any Debenture, or
reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon, or alter or impair the right to convert the same
into Common Stock at the rates and upon the terms provided in this Debenture,
without the consent of the Holder of each of the Debentures so affected, or (b)
reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures, the Holders of which are
required to consent to any supplemental agreement, without the consent of the
Holders of all Debentures then outstanding.

       15. Changes, Waivers. Etc. Neither this Debenture nor any provisions
hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by a
statement in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the
change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, except to the extent
provided in Section 15 of this Debenture.

       16. Entire Agreement. This Debenture embodies the entire agreement and
understanding between the Holder and the Company and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

       17. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, etc.

             (a) It is the intention of the parties that the laws of the State
       of Pennsylvania shall govern the validity of this Debenture, the
       construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights and
       duties of the parties.

             (b) In the case of any dispute, question, controversy or claim
       arising among the parties hereto which shall arise out of or in
       connection with this Debenture, the same shall be submitted to
       arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators in Philadelphia,
       Pennsylvania, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
       Association. One arbitrator shall be appointed by the party or parties
       bringing the claims ("Claimant") and one arbitrator shall be appointed
       by the party or parties defending the claim ("Respondent").  The
       arbitrators selected by such parties shall be selected within thirty
       (30) days after notification by the Claimant to the Respondent that it
       has determined to submit such dispute, question, controversy or claim to
       arbitration.  The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third
       arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the selection of the arbitrator
       selected by such parties. Should a party fail to select an arbitrator
       within the specified time period, or should the arbitrators selected by
       the parties fail to select a third arbitrator, the missing arbitrator or
       arbitrators shall be appointed by the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office
       of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the panel shall
       be final and binding on the parties and enforceable in any court of
       competent jurisdiction. The costs of the arbitration will be imposed
       upon the Claimant and Respondent as determined by the arbitration panel
       or, failing such determination, will be borne equally by the Claimant
       and the Respondent. The successful or prevailing party or parties shall
       be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees in addition to any other
       relief to which it may be entitled.

             (c)   In the event of any dispute, question, controversy or claim
       arising among the parties hereto which shall arise out of or in
       connection with this Debenture, the parties shall keep the proceeding
       related to such controversy in strict confidence and shall not disclose
       the nature of said dispute, the status of the proceeding or any
       testimony, documents or information obtained or exchanged in the course
       of said proceeding without the express written consent of all parties to
       such dispute.
