A copy of the second Debenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.  The Debentures shall mature, unless extended by the holder in accordance with the terms of the Debentures, two years from the issue date, with the first Debenture maturing on July 29, 2010 (“Maturity Date”). The Debentures shall accrue interest at a rate equal to fourteen percent (14%) per annum and such interest shall be paid on the Maturity Date (or sooner as provided in the Debenture) in cash or, provided that certain Equity Conditions are satisfied (as such term is defined in the Debenture), in shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) at the applicable Conversion Price. At any time after the Transaction Date, the Investor shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued interest thereon into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the lesser of $0.02 and ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding each conversion date.

The Company shall not affect any conversion, and the Investor shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Debenture to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Investor (together with the Investor’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

The Company shall have the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding (subject to certain conditions in the Debenture) by paying the amount equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus a redemption premium equal to ten percent (10%) of the principal amount being redeemed, and accrued interest.

In connection with the second debenture, the Company placed the Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) monitoring fee into escrow, directly from the proceeds of the second closing on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Monitoring Fee” and as deposited into escrow, the “Escrow Funds”) which shall be used to compensate Yorkville Advisors LLC (“Investment Manager”) for monitoring and managing the purchase and investment made by the Investor, pursuant to the Investment Manager’s existing advisory obligations to the Investor.
