FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Borrower, residing at __________________________________, hereby promises to pay to the order of ______________ (the “Holder”), the principal sum of ___________________ Dollars ($_______________), upon the following terms and conditions:

1. Interest Rate. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Debenture from the date of issuance until paid or converted in full at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per year, calculated on a 365/366 day year, as applicable.

2. Maturity. The maturity date (“Maturity Date”) of the Debentures is the earlier of: (i) completion of a public offering (“Public Offering”) of the Borrower’s securities with gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000; or (ii) 180 days from the closing date of the Offering.

3.  Payment Terms. The Borrower agrees to pay fifty percent (50%) of the unpaid principal balance of this Debenture and all accrued and unpaid interest, in cash, within five (5) business days after the Maturity Date.

4. Manner and Place of Payment; Holidays. All cash payments payable under this Debenture shall be made in coin or currency which, at the time or times of payment, constitute legal tender for public or private debts in the United States of America. All cash payments on this Debenture shall be made to Holder at the address stated above, or at such other address as Holder shall designate in writing. If the prescribed date of payment of any of the principal or interest hereon is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding business day.

(i) Conversion. Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within five (5) business days after the Maturity Date (such fifth day being the “Delivery Date”) a certificate evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable for the portion of the Debenture converted in accordance with the foregoing. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price (as defined below). On the Maturity Date, any and all obligations of the Borrower with respect to the portion of the Debenture so converted shall be deemed satisfied, and the Borrower will have no further obligation under the Debenture with respect to such converted portion in any way other than to issue the shares of Common Stock (as set forth in Section 5(iv) below).

(ii)  Conversion Price. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(iii) hereof, the conversion shall be upon the same terms and conditions as that of the Public Offering, provided that the conversion price will be at a fifty percent (50%) discount of the purchase price of the Common Stock in the Public Offering (“Conversion Price”). In the event the Borrower has not commenced the Public Offering by the Debenture Maturity Date, then the conversion price will be $0.50 per share. Fractional shares will not be issued and will instead be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

(iii)  Adjustment. The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 5(i), shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

A. Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other corporation, this Debenture, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser.

B. Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the shares of Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes that may be issued or outstanding, this Debenture, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof 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 shares of Common Stock issuable immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

C. 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 shares of Common Stock in the form of additional shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares of Common Stock or share dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares of Common Stock, 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.
 
(iv) Method of Conversion. On the Delivery Date, the Borrower shall issue and deliver to Holder a certificate(s) for the number of full shares of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, to the person(s) entitled to receive the same. The Borrower shall issue the certificate(s) for Common Stock in the name(s) so designated with such legends affixed or restrictions imposed as required by federal, state or jurisdictional securities laws as determined by legal counsel for the Borrower; provided that the Borrower is not advised by its counsel that the issuance of such certificate(s) would be in violation of federal, state or jurisdictional securities law.

6. Registration Rights. The Holder is entitled to the registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock to be received upon conversion of the Debenture as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement of even date herewith.

7. Events of Default and Acceleration. Time is of the essence of this Debenture. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder: (i) Borrower's failure to pay timely any amount due hereunder, and such failure continues for ten (10) business days and if the Holder provides notice of default to Borrower pursuant to Section 15 hereunder; (ii) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against Borrower and, if instituted against Borrower, Borrower shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding or such proceedings shall not be dismissed within ninety (90) calendar days thereafter; (iii) any material breach by Borrower, that remains uncured for greater than 5 days after receipt of written notice of same, of any of the terms of this Debenture (other than payment obligations); (iv) dissolution of the Borrower; or (v) cessation or liquidation of the Borrower's business or suspension of the Borrower's business for more than forty-five consecutive days. If any such Event of Default occurs, Holder may, then or at any time thereafter, and at its option, accelerate maturity and cause the entire unpaid principal balance of this Debenture, together with interest accrued hereon, to become immediately due and payable. If Holder waives Holder's right to accelerate maturity as a result of an Event of Default hereunder, either one or more times or repeatedly, nevertheless Holder shall not be deemed to have waived the right to require strict compliance with the terms of this Debenture thereafter.

8. Interest After Event of Default, Acceleration or Maturity. Upon an occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the entire unpaid balance of said principal sum and interest then accrued shall bear interest, while such Event of Default continues both before and after judgment, at twelve percent (12%) per year on the unpaid balance until paid, calculated on a 365/366 day year, as applicable.
