NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF INFORMATION FURNISHED
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with Form 10-QSB instructions and in the opinion of management
contains all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position of Famous Fixins, Inc. as of
September 30, 2002, the results of operations for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the statements of cash flows for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the statement of
stockholders' equity (deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
These results have been determined on the basis of accounting principles and
practices generally accepted in the United States and applied consistently with
those used in the preparation of the Company's 2001 financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the
financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. It is
suggested that the accompanying financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto incorporated by reference in the
Company's 2001 financial statements.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY
See Note 5F in connection with the Company's May 15, 2002 divestiture of
all of its operations and sale of substantially all of its assets and assumption
of certain specified liabilities by Starbrand, LLC under a "Settlement of Debts
and Asset Purchase Agreement". After the divestiture of operations, the
Company's activities consist of seeking additional financing and/or capital and
acquiring a new business.
Until May 15, 2002, the Company was a promoter and marketer of celebrity
licensed consumer products for sale in supermarkets, other retailers and over
the Internet. The Company developed, marketed and sold licensed consumer
products based on the diverse professional, cultural and ethnic backgrounds of
various celebrities. The Company entered into licensing agreements with high
profile celebrities and created consumer products which included various product
lines consisting of salad dressings, candy products, cosmetic products, adhesive
bandages and other novelty products endorsed by the licensors. The Company sold
directly to customers and also utilized a network of consumer products brokers
to distribute its products throughout the United States and Canada. Third party
manufacturers produced the Company's various consumer products.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates are made when accounting for uncollectible accounts receivable,
advertising barter credits, depreciation and amortization, income taxes,
contingencies and valuation of warrants, among others. Estimates and assumptions
are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the
financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SALES RETURNS
Revenues are recognized when the earnings process is complete. This
generally occurs when products are shipped in accordance with terms of
agreements, title and risk of loss transfer to customers, collection is probable
and pricing is fixed or determinable.
Provision for uncollectible accounts is recorded, when appropriate.
Provision for sales returns and allowances are recorded in the period in which
the related revenue is recognized. When sales returns and allowances are in
excess of customer receivable balances, such excess amount is reflected as a
current liability under the category "Due To Customers".
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - WARRANTS
The Company accounts for warrants issued to purchase common stock in
connection with services rendered to the Company using the fair value method
prescribed in SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".
Compensation cost for all stock warrants issued by the Company is (a) measured
at the grant date based on the fair value of the warrants and (b) recognized
over the service period. Stock-based compensation cost charged to operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $274,303.
MERCHANDISE INVENTORY
Merchandise inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value on a
first-in, first-out basis.
10
FAMOUS FIXINS, INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The
cost of major improvements and betterments to existing plant and equipment are
capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
Upon retirement or other disposal of plant and equipment, the profit realized or
loss sustained on such transaction is reflected in income. Depreciation is
computed on the cost of plant and equipment on the straight-line method, based
upon the estimated useful lives of the assets.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting For The
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of".
SFAS No. 121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived
assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those
long-lived assets. Such long-lived assets include barter credits.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be
generated by the assets is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the
Company recognizes an impairment loss. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. When fair
values, such as quoted market prices, are not available, the Company estimates
fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate
commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the assets. Assets
to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value
less costs to sell.
BARTER CREDITS
The Company entered into arrangements in 1998 and 2000, pursuant to which
it received barter credit entitlements. Such credits generally relate to the
Company's right to exchange its credits for future television, radio and other
types of advertisements for its products. No additional payments of cash or
other property is required on exercise of the barter credits and the value of
the services to be received are deemed to be comparable to the utilization
charges to be made against the barter credit. Upon utilization (receipt of
services or goods in exchange for barter credits) of part or all of the barter
credits, charges are made to income (substantially all to selling expenses) for
the recovered carrying amount of the barter credits. The Company's policy for
review of the barter credits with respect to possible impairment, is described
above.
In 2002, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $119,186, to write
down unused barter credits to net realizable value based upon management's
estimate of future utilization of the unused credits. The Company sold all
unused barter credits to Starbrand, LLC on May 15, 2002 (See Note 5F).

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain items have been reclassified in the 2001 financial statements to
conform to account groupings used for financial reporting in 2002.
NOTE 3. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share was calculated under SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share". Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average outstanding shares of 20,360,179 and 18,990,784 for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively and 14,197,903 and
14,065,992 for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2001,
respectively. No effect has been given to the conversion of warrants and
debentures to common stock inasmuch as such conversions would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 4. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred
substantial losses from operations and has deficiencies in working capital and
stockholders' equity at September 30, 2002 which raise substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to operate as
a going concern is dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate
capital and financing as may be required. The Company is actively seeking to
acquire a new business and raise additional financing. There can be no assurance
that future capital contributions, financing and/or acquiring a new business
will be sufficient for the Company to operate as a going concern or that it can
achieve profitable operations in the future. If new capital should become
available, or if the Company acquires a new business, such transaction would
likely result in an immediate and substantial dilution to the presently existing
shareholders. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OCCURRING DURING THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
The following is a summary of the significant events which occurred during
the nine months ended September 30, 2002:
A. On January 28, 2002 and May 15, 2002, the Company borrowed $27,500 and
$21,283, respectively, from two lenders and issued notes payable at an
interest rate of 10% per annum. The notes are payable on demand, on or
after June 15, 2002. The lenders include one of the holders of its 4%
convertible debentures, due May, 2003, and an unrelated party.
B. On February 13, 2002, the Company entered into an accounts receivable
factoring agreement subject to a minimum annual fee of $5,000. Under
the agreement, the Company selectively assigns and sells part or all
of its accounts receivable, subject to approval by the factor. The
transactions with the factor have been insignificant.
C. On March 14, 2002, the Company issued 4,662,276 shares of its common
stock upon conversion of $46,623 of accrued interest on its 4%
convertible debentures.
D. On March 27, 2002, an officer/stockholder of the Company exercised
warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $.03 per share. In exchange for the issuance of common stock,
the Company accepted a note receivable in the amount of $45,000,
bearing interest of 6% per annum, due January 1, 2003. On May 15,
2002, this note was sold to Starbrand, LLC pursuant to an agreement
described in "F" below.
E. On March 31, 2002, the bondholders of the Company's 4%, $1,500,000
convertible debentures (reduced on May 15, 2002 by $450,000 - See "F"
below) agreed to extend the maturity date to May 8, 2003. In addition,
the bondholders agreed to waive a $75,000 bond premium payable in
connection with the indebtedness.
F. On May 15, 2002, the Company consummated a "Settlement of Debts and
Asset Purchase Agreement" pursuant to which the Company divested all
of its operations and sold substantially all of its assets and certain
specified liabilities to Starbrand, LLC in exchange for cancellation
of $450,000 of the Company's outstanding 4%, $1,500,000 convertible
debentures. The transaction resulted in a gain of $373,921 to the
Company. The members of Starbrand, LLC include certain stockholders of
the Company. The Company is contingently liable for the payment of the
liabilities transferred aggregating approximately $200,000.
G. On July 30, 2002, the Company received aggregate proceeds of $100,000
in connection with issuance of the Company's 4% $100,000 convertible
debentures, due July 30, 2003 with a 5% premium. The lender is the
unrelated party, reported in "A." above, who made loans to the Company
under its 10% demand notes payable.
H. In September, 2002, the Company advanced an aggregate of $60,000 to an
unrelated party under three separate 90 day promissory notes, each
bearing interest at 7% per annum.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
"FORWARD-LOOKING" INFORMATION
This report on Form 10-QSB contains certain "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Generally,
the words "anticipates," "expects," "believes," "intends," "could," "may," and
similar expressions identify forward looking statements. Forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties. We caution you that while we believe
any forward-looking statement are reasonable and made in good faith,
expectations almost always vary from actual results, and the differences between
our expectations and actual results may be significant.
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and our
financial condition should be read in conjunction with the information set forth
in the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
CHANGES IN BUSINESS OPERATIONS
On May 15, 2002, we completed a transaction pursuant to the Settlement of Debts
and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2002, with Starbrand, LLC,
pursuant to which we divested all of our operations and sold substantially all
of our assets and certain specified liabilities to Starbrand, LLC in exchange
for cancellation of $450,000 of outstanding 4%, $1,500,000 convertible
debentures. The transaction resulted in a gain of $373,921 to Famous Fixins. We
are contingently liable for the payment of the liabilities transferred
aggregating approximately $200,000.
Since May 15, 2002, we have not engaged in substantive business operations and
have no plans to engage in any such activity in the foreseeable future. In our
present form, we may be deemed to be a vehicle to acquire or merge with a
business or company. To the extent that we intend to seek the acquisition of
assets, property or business that may benefit our company and our stockholders,
we are essentially a "blank check" company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In reviewing our results of operations, you should note that we have not
conducted any substantive business operations since May 15, 2002. Our results of
operations for the period ended September 30, 2002 discusses the results of our
former discontinued business, and is in no way reflective of our operations on a
going-forward basis, because since May 15, 2002 and through the present, we have
not conducted any substantive business operations.
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 were $0.00 a decrease of
100% from the $120,664 sales achieved for the three months ended September 30,
2001. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased approximately
69.7% to $428,881 from $1,418,646 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
The decrease in sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 is
attributable to the slowdown in sales in connection with the gradual
discontinuation of several product lines that were offered in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001, and the divestiture of the business on May 15,
2002. Because we have not engaged in substantive business operations since May
15, 2002, we do not anticipate generating any revenues in the foreseeable
future.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $0.00, due
to the lack of sales in the three month period, as compared to $70,122,
approximately 58% of sales for the comparable period in fiscal year 2001. Cost
of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $305,213,
approximately 71% of sales, as compared to $824,544, approximately 58% of sales,
for the comparable nine month period in fiscal year 2001. The decrease in the
amount of the cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2002 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 is
attributable to the discontinuation of several product lines that were offered
for sale in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2001, and the divestiture
of the business on May 15, 2002. Because we have not engaged in substantive
business operations since May 15, 2002, we do not
14
anticipate incurring any significant expenses that would be classified as Cost
of Goods Sold in the foreseeable future.
Gross profit on sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $0.00, a
decrease of 100%, as compared to gross profit of $50,542 for the three months
ended September 30, 2001. Gross profit on sales for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 was $123,668, a decrease of 79%, as compared to gross profit
of $594,102 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Gross profit was 0.0%
of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 due to the lack of sales.
During the comparable period in 2001, gross profit was approximately 42%. Gross
profit was approximately 29% of sales for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 as compared to gross profit as a percentage of sales for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 of 42%. The decrease in the amount of gross profit is
attributable to less sales resulting from the slowdown in sales in connection
with the gradual discontinuation of several product lines that were offered in
the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2001, and the divestiture of
the business on May 15, 2002.
For the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2001, operating expenses decreased to $28,238 from $358,576,
which represents an approximate 92% decrease in operation expenses from the
comparable period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, operating expenses
decreased to $750,770 from $1,260,132, which represents a 40% decrease in
operation expenses and an increase to 175% of sales during the current nine
month period from 88% of sales in the comparable period for 2001. The decrease
in our operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002
was due mainly to a decrease in selling expenses, decreased employment and the
cessation of most operating activities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2002, we operated at a net loss of
$(40,259), or a loss of $(0.002) per share basic, as compared to net loss of
$(327,515), or a loss of $(0.023) per share basic for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we operated at
a net loss of $(228,068), or a loss of $(0.012) per share basic, as compared to
net loss of $(730,597), or a loss of $(0.052) per share basic for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in net loss for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 was mainly due to a gain of $373,921 resulting in the sale of
our former business as well as the diminished expenses resulting from the
cessation of operations.
Our former business was not seasonal in nature.
Inflation was not deemed to be a factor in our former operations.
FINANCIAL CONDITION OR LIQUIDITY AND CAPTIAL RESOURCES
Financing Activities in connection with Former Business
In connection with our former business operations that were discontinued on May
15, 2002, we funded our operations through a line of credit, bank borrowings,
and borrowings from, and issuances of warrants and sales of securities to,
stockholders, and from operating revenues. Our inability to obtain sufficient
credit and capital financing has limited our operations and growth from
inception.
In October 1999, we entered into agreements pursuant to which certain investors
agreed to purchase an aggregate of $550,000 principal amount of 5% convertible
debentures due October 19, 2002 and 139,152 warrants to purchase shares of our
common stock. At the initial closing date, we received gross proceeds of
$450,000, and in February 2000, we received the remaining $100,000 when a
registration statement in connection with the resale of the underlying common
stock became effective. The warrants are exercisable between October 30, 1999
and October 30, 2004 at a purchase price of $.494 per share, which was 125% of
the market price on the closing date. Through June 30, 2002, debenture holders
have converted debentures with an aggregate of $526,032 in principal and
interest into 3,136,279 shares of common stock. Debentures with a principal of
$33,975 and interest thereon remain outstanding. None of the warrants have been
exercised.
15
In March 2000, we entered into an agreement pursuant to which certain investors
agreed to purchase an aggregate of $1,000,000 principal amount of 0% convertible
debentures due March 13, 2005 and warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of our
common stock. We received gross proceeds of $1,000,000 from the transaction. The
holders of the convertible debentures were entitled to convert the debentures
into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.40 per share. The
warrants are exercisable before March 13, 2005 at a purchase price of $.75 per
share. In October 2000, we entered into an agreement for the sale of $1,500,000
principal amount of 4% convertible debentures pursuant to which the outstanding
principal amount of the 0% convertible debentures were surrendered.
In October 2000, we entered into an agreement pursuant to which certain
investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of $1,500,000 principal amount of 4%
convertible debentures and warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock.
The principal amount of the 4% convertible debentures of $1,500,000 consists of
principal in the amount of $500,000 and the surrender of outstanding 0%
convertible debentures with a principal amount of $1,000,000 issued in March
2000. The warrants are exercisable before November 7, 2003 at a purchase price
per share of $0.0588. At the closing of the transaction, we received gross
proceeds of $500,000, less payment to the escrow agent of $10,000 for the
investors' legal, administrative and escrow costs, and less payment of a 10%
placement agent fee. We also issued to the placement agent 75,000 shares of
restricted common stock and a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock
as part of the placement agent fee. The warrants are exercisable before November
7, 2003 at a purchase price per share of $0.0588.
The 4% debenture holders have the right to convert the interest into shares of
common stock based on the average of the 5 lowest closing bid prices of the
common stock over a 22 trading day period immediately prior to the interest
payment date. We agreed to enter into an equity line of credit type of
transaction within 10 days of this transaction. If we are unable to pay the
amounts due on the maturity date but we can draw down on the equity line of
credit, we are to draw down the maximum amount each draw down period to pay the
investors the full amount due. To date, we are unable to draw down upon the
equity line of credit.
Since August 7, 2001, the 4% debenture holders may elect to convert the 4%
convertible debentures into shares of common stock because a registration
statement for the equity line of credit was not effective on the August 7, 2001
maturity date and because we are not able to draw down the maximum amount
permitted each month under the equity line under an effective equity line of
credit registration statement. The conversion price shall equal the lesser of
$0.054 or 85% of the average of the 5 lowest closing bid prices during the 22
trading days preceding the applicable conversion date. At the 4% debenture
holders' election, we shall redeem the 4% convertible debentures, including
interest and a redemption premium of 30%, using up to 50% of the net proceeds
received pursuant to the equity line of credit and any other equity financing
permitted under the agreement, and all proceeds received in an equity financing
not permitted under the future financing restrictions.
The 4% convertible debentures matured unpaid on August 7, 2001 with a 5% premium
on the principal and the accrued unpaid interest. In March 2002, the terms of
the 4% convertible debentures were amended to extend the due date for the
debentures until May 8, 2003 and to waive any premiums or penalties that may
have been incurred in connection the original due date having passed. In March
2002, the 4% convertible debenture holders converted accrued interest with an
aggregate amount of $46,623 into 4,662,276 shares. None of the principal amount
or other accrued interest have been repaid or converted into shares of common
stock, and none of the warrants have been exercised.
In October 2000, we entered into an agreement for the future issuance and
purchase of shares of our common stock which establishes what is sometimes
termed an equity line of credit or an equity drawdown facility. In general, the
drawdown facility operates as follows: the investor has committed to provide us
with up to $5 million as we request it over a 24 month period, in return for
shares of common stock we issue to the investor.
Subject to a maximum of 16 draws, once every 29 trading days, we may request a
draw of up to $5 million under the equity line, however, no single draw can
exceed $5 million. We must wait at least 7 trading days after each 22 trading
day drawdown period before requesting another drawdown. The maximum amount we
actually can draw down upon each request will be determined by 4.5% of the
volume-weighted average daily price of our common stock for the 3 month period
prior to our request and the total trading volume for the 3 months prior to our
request. Each draw down must be for at least $100,000.
16
The number of shares registered under the registration statement for the resale
of the common stock upon each drawdown under the equity line may limit the
amount of money we receive under the common stock purchase agreement. Moreover,
the funds we may receive could be further limited by a provision of the common
stock purchase agreement that prevents us from issuing shares to the investor to
the extent the investor would beneficially own more than 9.9% of our then
outstanding common stock.
At the end of a 22-day trading period following the drawdown request, the final
drawdown amount is determined based on the volume-weighted average stock price
during that 22-day period. We then use the formulas contained in the common
stock purchase agreement to determine the number of shares we will issue to the
investor in return for that money. The per share dollar amount the investor pays
for our common stock for each drawdown includes a 17.5% discount to the average
daily market price of our common stock for the 22-day period after our drawdown
request, weighted by trading volume. We will receive the amount of the drawdown
less an escrow agent fee equal to $1,500 per drawdown and less a 10% placement
fee.
In lieu of making a commitment to the investor to draw a minimum aggregate
amount, on October 31, 2000, we issued to the investor a stock purchase warrant
to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock and we also agreed to issue
additional warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to 50% of the shares
purchased by the investor on the settlement date of each drawdown. The warrants
to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock have an exercise price of $0.0636 and
expire on October 31, 2003. The additional warrants issuable at each settlement
date will be exercisable for 35 calendar days and have an exercise price equal
to the weighted average of the purchase prices of the common stock during the
applicable settlement period. A registration statement for the shares underlying
the equity line of credit is presently not effective. Until an effective
registration statement is in place, we cannot use and will not receive any funds
from the equity line.
In January 2002, we entered into promissory notes of $27,500 with interest at a
rate of 10% per year to pay for current business expenses. Beginning June 15,
2002, the notes become payable on demand.
In February 2002, we entered into an accounts receivable factoring agreement
subject to a minimum annual fee of $5,000. Under the agreement, we may
selectively assign and sell part or all of its accounts receivable, subject to
approval by the factor.
On March 29, 2002, we entered into a Settlement of Debts and Asset Purchase
Agreement with Starbrand, LLC, pursuant to which Starbrand agreed to acquire
substantially all of our assets, properties and business in exchange for the
assumption of certain of our liabilities. The assets to be transferred and the
liabilities to be assumed had an approximate value of $725,000, and $938,000,
respectively, at December 31, 2001. Based upon the structure of the Settlement
of Debts and Asset Purchase Agreement, immediately following the closing of the
transfer, we will retain assets with an estimated value of $33 as of December
31, 2001 and no business operations and will retain liabilities estimated to be
approximately $1,163,000 as of December 31, 2001, consisting mostly of certain
outstanding debentures, plus possible liabilities with respect to certain
unasserted claims against us. The Settlement of Debts and Asset Purchase
Agreement specifically provides that we shall retain all claims for tax refunds,
tax loss carry forwards or carrybacks or tax credits of any kind applicable to
our business prior to the closing of the asset purchase agreement. As of
December 31, 2001, we had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately
$2,426,000, all of which expire by 2021. Without future profits, such tax losses
are of limited or no value. The liabilities that will not be assumed by
Starbrand consist primarily of: principal amount of $1,050,000 of our 4%
convertible debentures, in the aggregate, owned by Roseworth Group Limited,
Balmore Funds, S.A. and Austost Anstalt Schaan, including accrued interest on
$1,500,000 of the debentures; principal amount of $33,975 of our 5% convertible
debentures owned by AMRO International, S.A., including accrued interest; and
promissory notes issued in 2002, as of June 30, 2002, totaling $27,500.
On May 15, 2002, we borrowed an aggregate of $21,283 from two lenders and issued
notes payable at an interest rate of 10% per annum. The notes are payable on
demand, on or after June 15, 2002. The lenders include a party related to the
holders of its 4% convertible debentures and another unrelated party.
Subsequently, in July 2002, we entered into an agreement for the sale of 4%
convertible debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 due on
July 30, 2003 with the unrelated party, Alpha Capital. There were no preexisting
arrangements or understandings among members of both the former and new control
groups and their associates with respect to such transaction.
17
Barter Credits in connection with Former Business
In connection with our former business operations that were discontinued on May
15, 2002, we entered into arrangements in 1998 and 2000, pursuant to which we
received barter credit entitlements. Such credits generally relate to our right
to exchange credits for future television, radio and other types of
advertisements for our products. In the six months ended June 30, 2002, we
recorded an impairment charge of $119,186, to write down unused barter credits
to net realizable value based upon management's estimate of future utilization
of the unused credits. On May 15, 2002, we sold all unused barter credit in
connection with the divestiture of our operations and sale of assets and certain
specified liabilities to Starbrand, LLC.
Going Concern Comment
The auditors' report to our financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2001 cites factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern. The factors include that we have incurred substantial operating
losses since inception of operations and as at December 31, 2001 reflect
deficiencies in working capital and stockholders' equity. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainties.
MANGEMENT'S PLAN OF ACTION
We have not engaged in any material operations since May 15, 2002. We presently
have no plans to engage in any such activity in the foreseeable future, other
than in seeking the acquisition of assets, property or business that may be
beneficial to us and our stockholders. In our present form, we may be deemed to
be a vehicle to acquire or merge with a business or company. To the extent that
we intend to seek the acquisition of assets, property or business that may
benefit our company and our stockholders, we are essentially a "blank check"
company.
Based upon our present status as a company with no substantive operations, our
foreseeable material cash requirements during the next twelve months relate to
maintaining our good standing in the State of New York, keeping current in
federal, state and local taxes, keeping current with filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, and making repayment of principal and interest on
convertible debentures and notes payable.
We have incurred substantial losses from operations and we have deficiencies in
working capital and stockholders' equity at September 30, 2002 which raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability
to operate as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to continue to raise
adequate capital and financing as may be required. We are actively seeking to
acquire a new business. There can be no assurance that future capital
contributions, financing or acquiring a new business will be sufficient for us
to continue as a going concern or that we can achieve profitable operations in
the future. If new capital should become available, or if we acquire a new
business such transaction would likely result in an immediate and substantial
dilution to the presently existing shareholders.
In connection with the divestiture of our former business and our current status
as substantially a non-operating company, the primary issue that management has
focused on to address the going concern matter has been to seek short term
financing through promissory notes and/or through issuance of convertible
debentures in order to fund operations in connection with our activities related
to seeking the acquisition of assets, property or business.
We are exploring various options to obtain financing and to resolve our existing
debt burden, including by means of merger, consolidation, sale of assets,
reorganization or restructuring. We do not presently have any such plans and
there can be no assurance that raising such capital or acquiring a new business
will be possible. If new capital should become available or we acquire a new
business, the financing or acquisition is likely to result in immediate and
substantial dilution to our presently existing shareholders.
During this current September 30, 2002 reporting period, we entered into an
agreement for the sale of 4% convertible debentures due July 30, 2003 with a
principal amount of $100,000. Our management does not anticipate that we will
have to raise additional funds during the next six to twelve months. We earlier
believed that the funds
18
from the 4% convertible debentures would be sufficient to fund our current
operating needs, subject to our ability to resolve the repayments due on
maturity of existing obligations, including convertible debentures.
Because, subsequent to the discontinuation of our former business, we do not
have any business or tangible assets with which to generate revenue, we do not
have any means to satisfy our liabilities or obligations unless and until we are
able to raise additional capital or acquire a business. Although the sale of
assets provides for the assumption by Starbrand of significant operating
liabilities of Famous Fixins, we remain contingently responsible for the
satisfaction of such liabilities and there can be no assurance that such
liabilities will be satisfied.
In any business venture, there are substantial risks specific to the particular
enterprise which cannot be ascertained until a potential acquisition,
reorganization or merger candidate has been identified; however, at a minimum,
our present business operations will be highly speculative and subject to the
same types of risks inherent in any new or unproven venture. We can provide no
assurance that any acquired business will produce any material revenues for us
or our stockholders or that any such business will operate on a profitable
basis. Because we are not currently engaged in any substantive business
activities, and with management's broad discretion with respect to the
acquisition of assets, property or business, we may be deemed to be a "blank
check" company. Although management intends to apply substantially all of the
proceeds that it may receive through the issuance of stock or debt to a suitable
acquisition, such proceeds will not otherwise be designated for any more
specific purpose. We can provide no assurance that any allocation of such
proceeds will allow us to achieve our business objectives. Because we have not
yet identified any assets, property or business that we may potentially acquire,
potential investors in our company will have virtually no substantive
information upon which to base a decision whether or not to invest in Famous
Fixins.
To date, we have not identified any particular industry or business in which to
concentrate our acquisition efforts. To the extent that we may acquire a
business in a highly risky industry, we will become subject to those risks.
Similarly, if we acquire a financially unstable business or a business that is
in the early stages of development, we will become subject to the numerous risks
to which such businesses are subject. Although management intends to consider
the risks inherent in any industry and business in which we may become involved,
there can be no assurance that we will correctly assess such risks. We are
unable to predict the time as to when and if we may actually participate in any
specific business endeavor.
Management has had some preliminary contacts and discussions regarding potential
business acquisitions during the current reporting period, but there are no
present plans, proposals or arrangements to acquire any specific assets,
property or business. Accordingly, it is unclear whether any such contemplated
acquisition would take the form of an exchange of capital stock, a merger or an
asset acquisition. However, because we have little resources as of the date of
this Report, management expects that any such acquisition would take the form of
an exchange of capital stock. This would result in substantial dilution of the
shares of current stockholders.
Current management is not required to devote full time to the affairs of the
company. Because of time commitments, as well as the fact that we have no
substantial operating business presently, management anticipates that an
insignificant amount of time will be devoted to the activities of the company,
at least until such time as we have identified a suitable acquisition target.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
During the current reporting period, we entered into agreements, dated July 30,
2002, with Alpha Capital A.G. for the sale of 4% convertible debentures due July
30, 2003 with a principal amount of $100,000, in transactions deemed to be
exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. We made a determination
that Alpha Capital was a sophisticated investor with enough knowledge and
experience in business to evaluate the risks and merits of the investment. Prior
to the transaction, Alpha Capital was an unrelated party who previously loaned
us an aggregate of $26,891 pursuant to short-term promissory notes.
The 4% convertible debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 are
due on July 30, 2003 with a 5% premium on the principal and the accrued but
unpaid interest. We may not pay the principal before the maturity date without
the express written consent of Alpha Capital. Semi-annual interest payments are
due and payable in arrears on December 1 and June 1 of each year, commencing
with December 1, 2002. With respect to the interest, the holders have the right
to cause us to issue common stock in exchange for interest otherwise payable in
cash. The exact number of shares of common stock into which such interest
payment is convertible shall be based on the average of the five lowest closing
bid prices of the common stock over the twenty-two trading days immediately
prior to the interest payment date.
These 4% convertible debentures carry similar rights and privileges, including
registration rights, accorded the debentures executed and delivered pursuant to
the Convertible Debenture and Warrants Purchase Agreement dated as of October
27, 2000 between Famous Fixins, Inc. and those convertible debenture holders.
Under the October 2000 purchase agreement, we agreed to prepare, file and seek
effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act for the
resale of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the earlier
issued 4% convertible debentures, however, such a registration statement is not
currently effective. On October 31, 2002, we entered into an equity line of
credit transaction, for which the shares issuable upon drawdowns on the equity
line are also the subject of such a registration statement. If we are unable to
pay the amounts due on these 4% convertible debentures on the maturity date but
we can draw down on the equity line of credit, we are to draw down the maximum
amount each draw down period to pay these 4% convertible debenture holders the
full amount due.
At the election of Alpha Capital, we are to redeem these 4% convertible
debentures, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, along with a payment premium
of 30% of such total amounts due, using up to 50% of the net proceeds received
pursuant to the equity line of credit type of financing.
On or after the maturity date, Alpha Capital may elect to convert the 4%
convertible debentures and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of common
stock if the registration statement for the equity line is not effective on the
maturity date or if we do not draw down the maximum amount permitted each
drawdown period under the equity line after such a registration statement is
effective. In such an event, the conversion price shall equal the lesser of
$0.05 or 85% of the average of the 5 lowest closing bid prices during the 22
trading days preceding the applicable conversion date. The $0.05 conversion
price is subject to downward adjustment if we sell other securities at a lower
per share selling price.
The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be received upon the
conversion of the debentures by Alpha Capital is 9.9% of our then-outstanding
common stock after the conversion, including any other shares of common stock
held by Alpha Capital, however, this 9.9% limit may be waived by Alpha Capital.
20
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
In April 2002, we submitted an Information Statement on Schedule 14C related to
actions in connection with an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to
increase our authorized capital from 25,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares,
and actions in connection with the Settlement of Debts and Asset Purchase
Agreement with Starbrand, LLC. In March 2002, the holders of a majority of the
shares of our outstanding common stock approved in writing, in accordance with
the provisions of Section 615 of the New York Business Corporation Law, an
amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized capital
from 25,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares, and actions related to the
Settlement of Debts and Asset Purchase Agreement with Starbrand, LLC. Our
shareholders representing 10,931,770 shares voted for those actions. At the time
of the approval, the aggregate of these shares constituted 53.7% of the then
outstanding shares of common stock.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
We intend to file in the near future an amendment to our certificate of
incorporation to reflect the shareholder action approving an increase in our
authorized capital from 25,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares,
In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, filed on May 21, 2002, we reported that
on March 29, 2002, we entered into a Settlement of Debts and Asset Purchase
Agreement with Starbrand, LLC, pursuant to which Starbrand agreed to acquire
substantially all of our assets, properties and business in exchange for the
assumption of certain of our liabilities.
On May 15, 2002, we completed the transaction pursuant to the Settlement of
Debts and Asset Purchase Agreement. We have not engaged in any material
operations since May 15, 2002. We presently have no plans to engage in any such
activity in the foreseeable future, other than in seeking the acquisition of
assets, property or business that may be beneficial to us and our stockholders.
In our present form, we may be deemed to be a vehicle to acquire or merge with a
business or company. To the extent that we intend to seek the acquisition of
assets, property or business that may benefit our company and our stockholders,
we are essentially a "blank check" company. We are not aware of any
arrangements, including any pledge by any person of securities of Famous Fixins,
the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of
Famous Fixins.
On May 21, 2002, our Board of Directors accepted Victor Bauer's resignation from
the Board of Directors. On June 13, 2002, S. Michael Rudolph was appointed to
the Board of Directors. Mr. Rudolph was a nominee of certain beneficial owners
of Famous Fixins. Mr. Rudolph did not have any direct or indirect interest in
Famous Fixins prior to the completion of the transaction. On June 13, 2002,
Jason Bauer resigned from his positions as an executive officer and as a
director of Famous Fixins, Inc.
We have been advised by the New York Department of State that on June 26, 2002
our corporate status was dissolved by proclamation for failure to file any tax
returns with the New York State Tax Department. We have notified the New York
State Tax Department that, contrary to their assertions, we have filed all
required federal and state tax returns and believe the misunderstanding to be
administrative and related to the Tax Department associating us with the wrong
Employee Identification Number. We are currently providing the Tax Department
with the necessary information to rectify the situation and retroactively
reinstate our good standing in New York. We anticipate being retroactively
reinstated within the next 30 days.

12. INDEMNIFICATION
12.1 General.
a) Seller. The Seller hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the Buyer from, against and in respect of any and all
claims, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities,
damages, recoveries and deficiencies, including interest,
penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively "Losses"),
that the Buyer may incur, sustain or suffer as a result of the
failure of the Seller to perform any of the covenants and
agreements of the Seller contained in this Agreement on the
Closing Date or thereafter except to the extent such failure
results from the actions or omissions of the Buyer or its
nominees or representatives (hereinafter referred to as "Seller
Covenant Losses").
b) The Buyer. The Buyer does hereby agree to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless the Seller and the Investors from, against and in
respect of any and all Losses that the Seller or the Investors
many incur, sustain or suffer as a result of:
(i) a breach of any of the representations, and warranties of
the Buyer which are contained in Article 6 of this Agreement
(hereinafter referred to as "Buyer Breach of Warranty
Losses"); or
(ii) the failure of the Buyer to perform any of the covenants and
agreements of Buyer contained in this Agreement on the
Closing Date or thereafter (hereinafter referred to as
"Buyer Covenant Losses").
12.2 Limitations on Breach of Warranty Losses.
a) Anything elsewhere contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, except for any Losses involving a finding by any
court of competent jurisdiction (from which no appeal can or has
been taken) that statutory or common law fraud has been committed
by the Buyer, any affiliate of the Buyer, the Buyer shall not be
liable with respect to any Buyer Breach of Warranty Losses unless
and until the aggregate amount of all such Buyer Breach of
Warranty Losses incurred by the Seller or the Investors shall
exceed the sum of $5,000 (the "Basket").
b) The provisions of Section 12.2(a) shall apply only to a Buyer
Breach of Warranty Losses. In the event that any Seller Covenant
Losses or Buyer Covenant Losses shall occur and shall be
continuing at any time from and after the Closing Date, the
injured party or parties shall have all applicable remedies at
law or in equity available to it, as are provided in this
Agreement, without regard to any Basket.
12.3 Claims for Indemnity. Whenever a claim shall arise for which any party
shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder, the indemnified party
shall notify the indemnifying party in writing within sixty (60) days
of the indemnified party's first receipt of notice of, or the
indemnified party's obtaining actual knowledge of, such claim, and in
any event within such shorter period as may be necessary for the
indemnifying party or parties to take appropriate action to resist
such claim. Such notice shall specify all facts known to the
indemnified party giving rise to such indemnity rights and shall
estimate (to the extent reasonably possible) the amount of potential
liability arising therefrom. If the indemnifying party shall be duly
notified of such dispute, the parties shall attempt to settle and
compromise the same or may agree to submit the same to arbitration or,
if unable or unwilling to do any of the foregoing, such dispute shall
be settled by appropriate litigation, and any rights of
indemnification established by reason of such settlement compromise,
arbitration or litigation shall promptly thereafter be paid and
satisfied by the indemnifying party or parties obligated to make
indemnification hereunder.
12.4 Right to Defend. If the facts giving rise to any claim for
indemnification shall involve any actual or threatened action or
demand by any third party against the indemnified party or any of its
affiliates, the indemnifying party or parties shall be entitled
(without prejudice to the indemnified party's right to participate at
its own expense through counsel of its own choosing), at its expense
and through a single counsel of its own choosing, to defend or
prosecute such claim in the name of the indemnifying party or parties,
or any of them, or if necessary, in the name of the indemnified party.
In any event, the indemnified party shall give the indemnifying party
advance written notice of any proposed compromise or settlement of any
such claim. If the remedy sought in any such action or demand is
solely money damages, the indemnifying party shall have fifteen (15)
days after receipt of such notice of settlement to object to the
proposed compromise or settlement, and if the indemnifying party does
so object, the indemnifying party shall be required to undertake,
conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its
sole expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the indemnified
party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection
therewith.
12.5 Resolution of Disputes.
a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts
made in New York by persons domiciled in New York City and
without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. Each party
hereto agrees to submit themselves to the in personam
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts situated within the
Southern District of the State of New York with regard to any
controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The
non-prevailing party to any dispute hereunder shall pay the
expenses of the prevailing party, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, in connection with any such dispute.
b) Notwithstanding Section 12.5(a) above, in the event that any
actual or anticipatory breach of any covenant and agreement
contained herein by any one or more party may cause irreparable
damage to any other parties hereto for such actually or
potentially damaged party would have no adequate remedy at law,
the aggrieved party or parties may immediately apply to any court
of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order or
such other preliminary or permanent injunctive or interim relief
as may be deemed appropriate by such court.

HEREOF HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE OR UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THE SECURITIES ARE

EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.
No. S-1 US $50,000
Famous Fixins, Inc.
4% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE DUE JULY 30, 2003
THIS DEBENTURE is issued by Famous Fixins, Inc., a corporation organized
and existing under the laws of the State of New York (the "Company") and is
designated as its 4% Convertible Debenture Due July 30, 2003.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to Alpha Capital A.G. or
permitted assigns (the "Holder"), the principal sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars
and 00/100 (US $50,000) Dollars on July 30, 2003 (the "Maturity Date") and to
pay interest on the principal sum outstanding from time to time semi-annually in
arrears at the rate of 4% per annum accruing from the date of initial issuance.
Accrual of interest shall commence on the first business day to occur after the
date of initial issuance and continue until payment in full of the principal sum
has been made or duly provided for. Semi-annual interest payments shall be due
and payable on December 1 and June 1 of each year, commencing with December 1,
2002. If any interest payment date or the Maturity Date is not a business day in
the State of New York, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
business day. The Company will pay the principal of, and any accrued but unpaid
interest due upon this Debenture on the Maturity Date, by check or wire transfer
to the person who is the registered holder of this Debenture as of the tenth day
prior to the Maturity Date and addressed to such holder at the last address
appearing on the Debenture Register. The forwarding of such check or money order
shall constitute a payment of principal and interest hereunder and shall satisfy
and discharge the liability for principal and interest on this Debenture to the
extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer plus any amounts so
deducted.
This Debenture is subject to the following additional provisions:
1. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments of
interest on this Debenture any amounts required to be withheld under
the applicable provisions of the United States income tax laws or
other applicable laws at the time of such payments, and Holder shall
execute and deliver all required documentation in connection
therewith.
2. This Debenture has been issued subject to investment representations
of the original purchaser hereof and may be transferred or exchanged
only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), and other applicable state and foreign securities laws. The
Holder shall deliver written notice to the Company of any proposed
transfer of this Debenture. In the event of any proposed transfer of
this Debenture, the Company may require, prior to issuance of a new
Debenture in the name of such other person, that it receive reasonable
transfer documentation including legal opinions that the issuance of
the Debenture in such other name does not and will not cause a
violation of the Act or any applicable state or foreign securities
laws. Prior to due presentment 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, whether or not this
Debenture be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary. This Debenture shall have the
same rights and privileges, including registration rights, accorded
the debentures executed and delivered pursuant to the Convertible
Debenture and Warrants Purchase Agreement dated as of October 27, 2000
between the Company and the original Holder (the "Purchase
Agreement"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Purchase
Agreement.
3. Provided that (i) a registration statement registering shares of
Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Equity Line (the "Equity Line
Registration Statement") is not effective on the Maturity Date, or
(ii) the Equity Line Registration Statement is effective and the
Company does not draw down the maximum amount permitted pursuant to
the Equity Line during each month after the date the Equity Line
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Holder of
this Debenture is entitled, at its option, to convert at any time
commencing on or after the Maturity Date, the principal amount of this
Debenture or any portion thereof, plus, at the Holder's election, any
accrued and unpaid interest, into shares of Common Stock of the
Company ("Conversion Shares") at a conversion price for each share of
Common Stock ("Conversion Price") equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05
(the "Set Price") (subject to adjustment for stock splits and the
like), and (ii) 85% of the average of the five (5) lowest closing bid
prices of the Common Stock during the twenty-two (22) Trading Days
preceding the applicable Conversion Date (as reported by Bloomberg
L.P.)(and, at each Investor's option, if not listed on the Principal
Market, on the pink sheets or any other trading market). If, upon any
conversion of this Debenture, the Company's issuance of Conversion
Shares would cause it to violate any listing requirement of the
Principal Market, then in lieu of such stock issuance, the Company
shall pay the Holder cash in an amount equal to the closing price of
the Common Stock on the Conversion Date multiplied by the number of
shares which would otherwise have been issuable upon such conversion
within five (5) calendar days. Additionally, except for sales of its
securities (i) pursuant to the exercise of options granted or to be
granted under an employee benefit plan which plan has been approved by
the Company's stockholders, (ii) pursuant to any compensatory plan for
a full-time employee or key consultant, or (iii) in connection with a
strategic partnership or other business transaction, the principal
purpose of which is not simply to raise money, if during the period
beginning on the date hereof and ending when the Holder no longer
holds any of the principal amount of this Debenture or any accrued but
unpaid interest of this Debenture (the "MFN Period"), the Company
sells any shares of its Common Stock at a per share selling price
("Per Share Selling Price") lower than the Set Price per share, then
the Set Price shall be adjusted downward to equal such lower Per Share
Selling Price. The Company shall give to each Investor written notice
of any such sale within 24 hours of the closing of any such sale.
(a) For the purpose of this Section 3, the term "Per Share Selling
Price" shall mean the amount actually paid by third parties for
each share of Common Stock. A sale of shares of Common Stock
shall include the sale or issuance of rights, options, warrants
or convertible securities ("derivative securities") under which
the Company is or may become obligated to issue shares of Common
Stock, and in such circumstances the sale of Common Stock shall
be deemed to have occurred at the time of the issuance of the
derivative securities and the Per Share Selling Price of the
Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise or
conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration per
underlying share of Common Stock received by the Company upon
such sale or issuance of the derivative security). In case of any
such security issued within the MFN Period in a "Variable Rate
Transaction" or an "MFN Transaction" (each as defined below), the
Per Share Selling Price shall be deemed to be the lowest
conversion or exercise price at which such securities are
converted or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate
Transaction, or the lowest adjustment price in the case of an MFN
Transaction. If shares are issued for a consideration other than
cash, the per share selling price shall be the fair value of such
consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
(b) For the purpose of Section 3(a), the term "Variable Rate
Transaction" shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues
or sells (a) any debt or equity securities that are convertible
into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to
receive additional shares of Common Stock either (x) at a
conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is
based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations
for the Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of
such debt or equity securities, or (y) with a fixed conversion,
exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some
future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events
directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or
the market for the Common Stock (but excluding standard stock
split anti-dilution provisions), or (b) any securities of the
Company pursuant to an "equity line" structure which provides for
the sale, from time to time, of securities of the Company which
are registered for resale pursuant to the Securities Act.
(c) For the purposes of Section 4(a), the term "MFN Transaction"
shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells any
securities in a capital raising transaction or series of related
transactions (the "New Offering") which grants to an investor
(the "New Investor") the right to receive additional shares based
upon future transactions of the Company on terms more favorable
than those granted to the New Investor in the New Offering.
(d) In case of any stock split or reverse stock split, stock
dividend, reclassification of the common stock, recapitalization,
merger or consolidation, or like capital adjustment affecting the
Common Stock of the Company, the provisions of this Section 3
shall be applied in a fair, equitable and reasonable manner so as
to give effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes hereof.
4. The rate of interest on this Debenture shall be four percent (4%), per
annum, on the outstanding principal until paid or converted. The
Holder shall have the right to cause the Company to issue Common Stock
in exchange for interest otherwise payable in cash pursuant to this
Debenture. The exact number of shares of Common Stock into which such
interest payment is convertible shall be based on the average of the
five (5) lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock over the
twenty-two (22) Trading Days immediately prior to the interest payment
date.
5. At the election of the Holder, the Company shall use (i) up to 50% of
the net proceeds received pursuant to (A) the equity line of credit
type of financing arranged by Union Atlantic, L.C., and (B) any other
equity financing permitted pursuant to the exceptions to the general
prohibition on future financing in Section 6.9 of the Purchase
Agreement, and (ii) all of the proceeds received pursuant to any
equity financing entered into in violation of the general prohibition
on future financing in Section 6.9 of the Purchase Agreement (each a
"Subsequent Sale") to redeem this Debenture, plus all accrued but
unpaid interest and the applicable Payment Premium. The Payment
Premium shall be 30% of the outstanding principal balance plus any
accrued but unpaid interest. The Company shall give the Holder at
least five (5) Trading Days' notice prior to the closing date of a
Subsequent Sale (each a "Subsequent Sale Closing Date") and the Holder
shall give the Company one (1) Trading Day's notice prior to any such
Subsequent Sale Closing Date that this Debenture or any portion hereof
shall be redeemed pursuant to this Section. The Company shall make
redemption payments to the Holder on such Subsequent Sale Closing Date
out of the proceeds of any such Subsequent Sale.
6. Intentionally omitted.
7. On the Maturity Date, the Company will pay 105% of the principal of
and any accrued but unpaid interest due upon this Debenture, less any
amounts required by law to be deducted, to the registered holder of
this Debenture and addressed to such holder at the last address
appearing on the debenture register. If the Company is unable to pay
the Holder such amount on the Maturity Date and if the Company is able
to make a draw down pursuant to an equity line of credit arrangement,
the Company shall immediately exercise draw downs under such equity
line arrangement for the maximum amount allowed pursuant to such
arrangement for the purpose of paying all amounts owed to the Holder
until the Company has paid all such amounts in full. The Company shall
not be permitted to pay the outstanding principal of this Debenture
prior to the Maturity Date without the express written consent of the
Holder.
8. (a) Conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering this Debenture to
the Company (if such Conversion will convert all outstanding
principal) together with the form of conversion notice attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the "Notice of Conversion"), executed by the Holder of
this Debenture evidencing such Holder's intention to convert this
Debenture or a specified portion (as above provided) hereof, and
accompanied, if required by the Company, by proper assignment hereof
in blank. Interest accrued or accruing from the date of issuance to
the date of conversion shall be paid as set forth above. No fraction
of a share or scrip representing a fraction of a share will be issued
on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to
the nearest whole share. The date on which Notice of Conversion is
given (the "Conversion Date") shall be deemed to be the date on which
the Holder faxes the Notice of Conversion duly executed to the
Company. Facsimile delivery of the Notice of Conversion shall be
accepted by the Company at facsimile number (650) 343-2506 Attn.:
Michael Rudolph. Certificates representing Common Stock upon
conversion will be delivered to the Holder within three (3) Trading
Days from the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the
Company. Delivery of shares upon conversion shall be made to the
address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Conversion.
(b) The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of shares of
Common Stock upon a conversion pursuant to Section 3 herein
beyond three (3) Trading Days could result in economic loss to
the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the
Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion in accordance
with the following schedule (where "No. Trading Days Late" is
defined as the number of Trading Days beyond three (3) Trading
Days from the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the
Company).

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Paragraph 8(b) in
immediately available funds upon demand. Nothing herein shall limit Holder's
right to pursue injunctive relief and/or actual damages for the Company's
failure to issue and deliver Common to the holder, including, without
limitation, the Holder's actual losses occasioned by any "buy-in" of Common
Stock necessitated by such late delivery. Furthermore, in addition to any other
remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company
fails for any reason to effect delivery of such shares of Common Stock within
three (3) Trading Days from the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered to
the Company, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of
Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the
Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions
immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion, and in such event no
late payments shall be due in connection with such withdrawn conversion.
(c) In the event the Holder shall elect to convert this Debenture or
any part hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on
any claim that the Holder or any one associated or affiliated
with the Holder, including but not limited to a Company
stockholder who is not and has never been an affiliate (as
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Holder, has
been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason,
unless an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and/or
enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have
been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company posts a
surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the amount of
150% of the principal amount outstanding of this Debenture, which
is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect
until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and
the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the
extent it obtains judgment, within three (3) business days of
such judgement. Under the circumstances set forth above, the
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the holder and be
responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses of the
Holder, including its reasonable legal fees and expenses, as and
when incurred in disputing any such action or pursuing its rights
hereunder (in addition to any other rights of the Holder).
9. No provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of
the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal
of, and interest on, this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and
in the coin or currency or shares of Common Stock herein prescribed.
This Debenture is a direct obligation of the Company.
10. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or the
interest on, this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or
otherwise in respect hereof, against any incorporator, shareholder,
employee, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of
the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the
acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.
11. In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another Person, or (2) sale by the Company of more than one-half of
the assets of the Company (on an as valued basis) in one or a series
of related transactions, the Holder shall have the right to (A) deem
such an occurrence an Event of Default and exercise its rights of
prepayment pursuant to Paragraph 14 herein, (B) convert its aggregate
principal amount of this Debenture then outstanding into (i) shares of
Common Stock of the Company pursuant to Section 3 herein, (ii) shares
of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or
deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger,
consolidation or sale, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such
event or series of related events to receive such amount of
securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into which
such aggregate principal amount of this Debenture could have been
converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales
would have been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or
consolidation, (x) require the surviving entity to issue convertible
debentures with such aggregate stated value or in such face amount, as
the case may be, equal to the aggregate principal amount of this
Debenture then held by the Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid
interest and other amounts owing thereon, which newly issued
debentures shall have terms identical (including with respect to
conversion) to the terms of this Debenture and shall be entitled to
all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Debenture set
forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Debenture was
issued (including, without limitation, as such rights relate to the
acquisition, transferability, registration and listing of such shares
of stock other securities issuable upon conversion thereof), and (y)
simultaneously with the issuance of such convertible debentures, shall
have the right to convert such instrument only into shares of stock
and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to
be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger or
consolidation. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price
applicable for the newly convertible debentures shall be based upon
the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common
Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such
transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall
include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to
receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Paragraph
upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This Paragraph
shall similarly apply to successive such events.
12. The Holder of the Debenture, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this
Debenture is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will
not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Debenture or the Shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except under
circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any
applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to
the sale of securities.
13. This Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York. Each of the parties consents to the
jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part
of the City of New York or the state courts of the State of New York
sitting in the City of New York in connection with any dispute arising
under this Agreement and hereby waives, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on
forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such
jurisdictions.
14. The following shall constitute an "Event of Default":
a. The Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest
on this Debenture and same shall continue for a period of three
(3) Trading Days; or
b. Any of the material representations or warranties made by the
Company herein, in the Purchase Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement, or in any agreement, certificate or financial
statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Debenture or
the Purchase Agreement shall be false or misleading in any
material respect at the time made; or
c. The Company fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder
or to cause its Transfer Agent to issue shares of Common Stock
upon proper exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of
the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Debenture, fails
to transfer or to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any
certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon
conversion of this Debenture as and when required by this
Debenture or the Registration Rights Agreement, and such transfer
is otherwise lawful, or fails to remove any restrictive legend or
to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any certificate or any
shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of
this Debenture as and when required by this Debenture, the
Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement and such
legend removal is otherwise lawful, and any such failure shall
continue uncured for five (5) business days; or
d. The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material
respect, any other covenant, term, provision, condition,
agreement or obligation of the Company under the Purchase
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or this Debenture
and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of thirty
(30) days after written notice from the Holder of such failure;
or
e. The Company shall (1) admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they mature; (2) make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution;
or (3) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee,
liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its
property or business; or
f. A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the
Company or for a substantial part of its property or business
without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60)
days after such appointment; or
g. Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at
the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or
control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties
or assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within sixty
(60) days thereafter; or
h. Any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment, or similar
process in excess of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars 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 sixty (60) days
or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any
proposed sale thereunder; or
i. 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
the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be
dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution or the
Company 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;
j. The Registration Statement is not declared effective by the
Commission within one hundred eighty (180) days from the Closing
Date;
k. Upon a properly noticed Notice of Conversion, the Company fails
to deliver Conversion Shares free of a legend, when lawful to do
so, within 10 Trading Days of such Notice of Conversion; and
l. The Company shall have its Common Stock suspended or delisted
from trading on a Principal Market for in excess of five (5)
Trading Days.
Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case,
unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by
the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the
Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Debenture
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest
or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived,
anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to
the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately
enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided
herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.
15. Nothing contained in this Debenture shall be construed as conferring
upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to
consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting
of shareholders or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the
Company, unless and to the extent converted in accordance with the
terms hereof.
16. In no event shall the Holder be permitted to convert this Debenture
for shares of Common Stock to the extent that (x) the number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder (other than shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture) plus (y)
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this
Debenture, would be equal to or exceed 9.9% of the number of shares of
Common Stock then issued and outstanding, including shares issuable
upon conversion of this Debenture held by such Holder after
application of this Paragraph 16. As used herein, beneficial ownership
shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Paragraph 16 applies, the determination of whether this Debenture is
convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder) and
of which a portion of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the
sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of
Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder's determination of
whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities
owned by such holder) and of which portion of this Debenture is
convertible, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage
limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or
confirm the accuracy of such determination. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to restrict the right of a holder to convert this
Debenture into shares of Common Stock at such time as such conversion
will not violate the provisions of this Paragraph 16. The provisions
of this Paragraph 16 may be waived by the Holder of this Debenture
upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 75 days' prior
notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Paragraph 16 shall
continue to apply until such 75th day (or such later date as may be
specified in such notice of waiver). No conversion of this Debenture
in violation of this Paragraph 16 but otherwise in accordance with
this Debenture shall affect the status of the Common Stock issued upon
such conversion as validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable. If
instead of receiving cash on the Maturity Date the Holder instead
exercises its right to convert this Debenture into Common Stock
pursuant to Paragraph 3 by delivery of a Notice of Conversion prior to
receipt of payment, and such conversion would cause the limit
contained in the first sentence of this Paragraph 16 to be exceeded,
such conversion of this Debenture shall occur up to such limit and the
remaining unconverted portion of this Debenture shall be converted
into Common Stock (1) in accordance with one or more Notices of
Conversion delivered by the Holder or (2) 65 days after the Maturity
Date, whichever is earlier. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, no interest shall accrue after the Maturity Date on
any such unconverted portion of this Debenture.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly
executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

Famous Fixins, Inc.
4% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE DUE JULY 30, 2003
THIS DEBENTURE is issued by Famous Fixins, Inc., a corporation organized
and existing under the laws of the State of New York (the "Company") and is
designated as its 4% Convertible Debenture Due July 30, 2003.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to Alpha Capital AG or
permitted assigns (the "Holder"), the principal sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars
and 00/100 (US $50,000) Dollars on July 30, 2003 (the "Maturity Date") and to
pay interest on the principal sum outstanding from time to time semi-annually in
arrears at the rate of 4% per annum accruing from the date of initial issuance.
Accrual of interest shall commence on the first business day to occur after the
date of initial issuance and continue until payment in full of the principal sum
has been made or duly provided for. Semi-annual interest payments shall be due
and payable on December 1 and June 1 of each year, commencing with December 1,
2002. If any interest payment date or the Maturity Date is not a business day in
the State of New York, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
business day. The Company will pay the principal of, and any accrued but unpaid
interest due upon this Debenture on the Maturity Date, by check or wire transfer
to the person who is the registered holder of this Debenture as of the tenth day
prior to the Maturity Date and addressed to such holder at the last address
appearing on the Debenture Register. The forwarding of such check or money order
shall constitute a payment of principal and interest hereunder and shall satisfy
and discharge the liability for principal and interest on this Debenture to the
extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer plus any amounts so
deducted.
This Debenture is subject to the following additional provisions:
1. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments of
interest on this Debenture any amounts required to be withheld under
the applicable provisions of the United States income tax laws or
other applicable laws at the time of such payments, and Holder shall
execute and deliver all required documentation in connection
therewith.
2. This Debenture has been issued subject to investment representations
of the original purchaser hereof and may be transferred or exchanged
only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), and other applicable state and foreign securities laws. The
Holder shall deliver written notice to the Company of any proposed
transfer of this Debenture. In the event of any proposed transfer of
this Debenture, the Company may require, prior to issuance of a new
Debenture in the name of such other person, that it receive reasonable
transfer documentation including legal opinions that the issuance of
the Debenture in such other name does not and will not cause a
violation of the Act or any applicable state or foreign securities
laws. Prior to due presentment 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, whether or not this
Debenture be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary. This Debenture shall have the
same rights and privileges, including registration rights, accorded
the debentures executed and delivered pursuant to the Convertible
Debenture and Warrants Purchase Agreement dated as of October 27, 2000
between the Company and the original Holder (the "Purchase
Agreement"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Purchase
Agreement.
3. Provided that (i) a registration statement registering shares of
Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Equity Line (the "Equity Line
Registration Statement") is not effective on the Maturity Date, or
(ii) the Equity Line Registration Statement is effective and the
Company does not draw down the maximum amount permitted pursuant to
the Equity Line during each month after the date the Equity Line
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Holder of
this Debenture is entitled, at its option, to convert at any time
commencing on or after the Maturity Date, the principal amount of this
Debenture or any portion thereof, plus, at the Holder's election, any
accrued and unpaid interest, into shares of Common Stock of the
Company ("Conversion Shares") at a conversion price for each share of
Common Stock ("Conversion Price") equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05
(the "Set Price") (subject to adjustment for stock splits and the
like), and (ii) 85% of the average of the five (5) lowest closing bid
prices of the Common Stock during the twenty-two (22) Trading Days
preceding the applicable Conversion Date (as reported by Bloomberg
L.P.)(and, at each Investor's option, if not listed on the Principal
Market, on the pink sheets or any other trading market). If, upon any
conversion of this Debenture, the Company's issuance of Conversion
Shares would cause it to violate any listing requirement of the
Principal Market, then in lieu of such stock issuance, the Company
shall pay the Holder cash in an amount equal to the closing price of
the Common Stock on the Conversion Date multiplied by the number of
shares which would otherwise have been issuable upon such conversion
within five (5) calendar days. Additionally, except for sales of its
securities (i) pursuant to the exercise of options granted or to be
granted under an employee benefit plan which plan has been approved by
the Company's stockholders, (ii) pursuant to any compensatory plan for
a full-time employee or key consultant, or (iii) in connection with a
strategic partnership or other business transaction, the principal
purpose of which is not simply to raise money, if during the period
beginning on the date hereof and ending when the Holder no longer
holds any of the principal amount of this Debenture or any accrued but
unpaid interest of this Debenture (the "MFN Period"), the Company
sells any shares of its Common Stock at a per share selling price
("Per Share Selling Price") lower than the Set Price per share, then
the Set Price shall be adjusted downward to equal such lower Per Share
Selling Price. The Company shall give to each Investor written notice
of any such sale within 24 hours of the closing of any such sale.
(a) For the purpose of this Section 3, the term "Per Share Selling
Price" shall mean the amount actually paid by third parties for
each share of Common Stock. A sale of shares of Common Stock
shall include the sale or issuance of rights, options, warrants
or convertible securities ("derivative securities") under which
the Company is or may become obligated to issue shares of Common
Stock, and in such circumstances the sale of Common Stock shall
be deemed to have occurred at the time of the issuance of the
derivative securities and the Per Share Selling Price of the
Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise or
conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration per
underlying share of Common Stock received by the Company upon
such sale or issuance of the derivative security). In case of any
such security issued within the MFN Period in a "Variable Rate
Transaction" or an "MFN Transaction" (each as defined below), the
Per Share Selling Price shall be deemed to be the lowest
conversion or exercise price at which such securities are
converted or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate
Transaction, or the lowest adjustment price in the case of an MFN
Transaction. If shares are issued for a consideration other than
cash, the per share selling price shall be the fair value of such
consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
(b) For the purpose of Section 3(a), the term "Variable Rate
Transaction" shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues
or sells (a) any debt or equity securities that are convertible
into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to
receive additional shares of Common Stock either (x) at a
conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is
based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations
for the Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of
such debt or equity securities, or (y) with a fixed conversion,
exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some
future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events
directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or
the market for the Common Stock (but excluding standard stock
split anti-dilution provisions), or (b) any securities of the
Company pursuant to an "equity line" structure which provides for
the sale, from time to time, of securities of the Company which
are registered for resale pursuant to the Securities Act.
(c) For the purposes of Section 4(a), the term "MFN Transaction"
shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells any
securities in a capital raising transaction or series of related
transactions (the "New Offering") which grants to an investor
(the "New Investor") the right to receive additional shares based
upon future transactions of the Company on terms more favorable
than those granted to the New Investor in the New Offering.
(d) In case of any stock split or reverse stock split, stock
dividend, reclassification of the common stock, recapitalization,
merger or consolidation, or like capital adjustment affecting the
Common Stock of the Company, the provisions of this Section 3
shall be applied in a fair, equitable and reasonable manner so as
to give effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes hereof.
4. The rate of interest on this Debenture shall be four percent (4%), per
annum, on the outstanding principal until paid or converted. The
Holder shall have the right to cause the Company to issue Common Stock
in exchange for interest otherwise payable in cash pursuant to this
Debenture. The exact number of shares of Common Stock into which such
interest payment is convertible shall be based on the average of the
five (5) lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock over the
twenty-two (22) Trading Days immediately prior to the interest payment
date.
5. At the election of the Holder, the Company shall use (i) up to 50% of
the net proceeds received pursuant to (A) the equity line of credit
type of financing arranged by Union Atlantic, L.C., and (B) any other
equity financing permitted pursuant to the exceptions to the general
prohibition on future financing in Section 6.9 of the Purchase
Agreement, and (ii) all of the proceeds received pursuant to any
equity financing entered into in violation of the general prohibition
on future financing in Section 6.9 of the Purchase Agreement (each a
"Subsequent Sale") to redeem this Debenture, plus all accrued but
unpaid interest and the applicable Payment Premium. The Payment
Premium shall be 30% of the outstanding principal balance plus any
accrued but unpaid interest. The Company shall give the Holder at
least five (5) Trading Days' notice prior to the closing date of a
Subsequent Sale (each a "Subsequent Sale Closing Date") and the Holder
shall give the Company one (1) Trading Day's notice prior to any such
Subsequent Sale Closing Date that this Debenture or any portion hereof
shall be redeemed pursuant to this Section. The Company shall make
redemption payments to the Holder on such Subsequent Sale Closing Date
out of the proceeds of any such Subsequent Sale.
6. Intentionally omitted.
7. On the Maturity Date, the Company will pay 105% of the principal of
and any accrued but unpaid interest due upon this Debenture, less any
amounts required by law to be deducted, to the registered holder of
this Debenture and addressed to such holder at the last address
appearing on the debenture register. If the Company is unable to pay
the Holder such amount on the Maturity Date and if the Company is able
to make a draw down pursuant to an equity line of credit arrangement,
the Company shall immediately exercise draw downs under such equity
line arrangement for the maximum amount allowed pursuant to such
arrangement for the purpose of paying all amounts owed to the Holder
until the Company has paid all such amounts in full. The Company shall
not be permitted to pay the outstanding principal of this Debenture
prior to the Maturity Date without the express written consent of the
Holder.
8. (a) Conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering this Debenture to
the Company (if such Conversion will convert all outstanding
principal) together with the form of conversion notice attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the "Notice of Conversion"), executed by the Holder of
this Debenture evidencing such Holder's intention to convert this
Debenture or a specified portion (as above provided) hereof, and
accompanied, if required by the Company, by proper assignment hereof
in blank. Interest accrued or accruing from the date of issuance to
the date of conversion shall be paid as set forth above. No fraction
of a share or scrip representing a fraction of a share will be issued
on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to
the nearest whole share. The date on which Notice of Conversion is
given (the "Conversion Date") shall be deemed to be the date on which
the Holder faxes the Notice of Conversion duly executed to the
Company. Facsimile delivery of the Notice of Conversion shall be
accepted by the Company at facsimile number (650) 343-2506 Attn.:
Michael Rudolph. Certificates representing Common Stock upon
conversion will be delivered to the Holder within three (3) Trading
Days from the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the
Company. Delivery of shares upon conversion shall be made to the
address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Conversion.
(b) The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of shares of
Common Stock upon a conversion pursuant to Section 3 herein
beyond three (3) Trading Days could result in economic loss to
the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the
Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion in accordance
with the following schedule (where "No. Trading Days Late" is
defined as the number of Trading Days beyond three (3) Trading
Days from the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the
Company).

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this
Paragraph 8(b) in immediately available funds upon demand.
Nothing herein shall limit Holder's right to pursue injunctive
relief and/or actual damages for the Company's failure to issue
and deliver Common to the holder, including, without limitation,
the Holder's actual losses occasioned by any "buy-in" of Common
Stock necessitated by such late delivery. Furthermore, in
addition to any other remedies which may be available to the
Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to
effect delivery of such shares of Common Stock within three (3)
Trading Days from the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered
to the Company, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the
relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such
effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall
each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior
to delivery of such Notice of Conversion, and in such event no
late payments shall be due in connection with such withdrawn
conversion.
(c) In the event the Holder shall elect to convert this Debenture or
any part hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on
any claim that the Holder or any one associated or affiliated
with the Holder, including but not limited to a Company
stockholder who is not and has never been an affiliate (as
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Holder, has
been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason,
unless an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and/or
enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have
been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company posts a
surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the amount of
150% of the principal amount outstanding of this Debenture, which
is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect
until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and
the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the
extent it obtains judgment, within three (3) business days of
such judgement. Under the circumstances set forth above, the
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the holder and be
responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses of the
Holder, including its reasonable legal fees and expenses, as and
when incurred in disputing any such action or pursuing its rights
hereunder (in addition to any other rights of the Holder).
9. No provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of
the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal
of, and interest on, this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and
in the coin or currency or shares of Common Stock herein prescribed.
This Debenture is a direct obligation of the Company.
10. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or the
interest on, this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or
otherwise in respect hereof, against any incorporator, shareholder,
employee, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of
the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the
acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.
11. In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another Person, or (2) sale by the Company of more than one-half of
the assets of the Company (on an as valued basis) in one or a series
of related transactions, the Holder shall have the right to (A) deem
such an occurrence an Event of Default and exercise its rights of
prepayment pursuant to Paragraph 14 herein, (B) convert its aggregate
principal amount of this Debenture then outstanding into (i) shares of
Common Stock of the Company pursuant to Section 3 herein, (ii) shares
of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or
deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger,
consolidation or sale, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such
event or series of related events to receive such amount of
securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into which
such aggregate principal amount of this Debenture could have been
converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales
would have been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or
consolidation, (x) require the surviving entity to issue convertible
debentures with such aggregate stated value or in such face amount, as
the case may be, equal to the aggregate principal amount of this
Debenture then held by the Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid
interest and other amounts owing thereon, which newly issued
debentures shall have terms identical (including with respect to
conversion) to the terms of this Debenture and shall be entitled to
all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Debenture set
forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Debenture was
issued (including, without limitation, as such rights relate to the
acquisition, transferability, registration and listing of such shares
of stock other securities issuable upon conversion thereof), and (y)
simultaneously with the issuance of such convertible debentures, shall
have the right to convert such instrument only into shares of stock
and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to
be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger or
consolidation. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price
applicable for the newly convertible debentures shall be based upon
the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common
Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such
transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall
include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to
receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Paragraph
upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This Paragraph
shall similarly apply to successive such events.
12. The Holder of the Debenture, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this
Debenture is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will
not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Debenture or the Shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except under
circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any
applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to
the sale of securities.
13. This Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York. Each of the parties consents to the
jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part
of the City of New York or the state courts of the State of New York
sitting in the City of New York in connection with any dispute arising
under this Agreement and hereby waives, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on
forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such
jurisdictions.
14. The following shall constitute an "Event of Default":
m. The Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest
on this Debenture and same shall continue for a period of three
(3) Trading Days; or
n. Any of the material representations or warranties made by the
Company herein, in the Purchase Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement, or in any agreement, certificate or financial
statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Debenture or
the Purchase Agreement shall be false or misleading in any
material respect at the time made; or
o. The Company fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder
or to cause its Transfer Agent to issue shares of Common Stock
upon proper exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of
the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Debenture, fails
to transfer or to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any
certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon
conversion of this Debenture as and when required by this
Debenture or the Registration Rights Agreement, and such transfer
is otherwise lawful, or fails to remove any restrictive legend or
to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any certificate or any
shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of
this Debenture as and when required by this Debenture, the
Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement and such
legend removal is otherwise lawful, and any such failure shall
continue uncured for five (5) business days; or
p. The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material
respect, any other covenant, term, provision, condition,
agreement or obligation of the Company under the Purchase
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or this Debenture
and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of thirty
(30) days after written notice from the Holder of such failure;
or
q. The Company shall (1) admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they mature; (2) make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution;
or (3) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee,
liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its
property or business; or
r. A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the
Company or for a substantial part of its property or business
without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60)
days after such appointment; or
s. Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at
the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or
control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties
or assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within sixty
(60) days thereafter; or
t. Any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment, or similar
process in excess of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars 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 sixty (60) days
or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any
proposed sale thereunder; or
u. 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
the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be
dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution or the
Company 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;
v. The Registration Statement is not declared effective by the
Commission within one hundred eighty (180) days from the Closing
Date;
w. Upon a properly noticed Notice of Conversion, the Company fails
to deliver Conversion Shares free of a legend, when lawful to do
so, within 10 Trading Days of such Notice of Conversion; and
x. The Company shall have its Common Stock suspended or delisted
from trading on a Principal Market for in excess of five (5)
Trading Days.
Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case,
unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by
the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the
Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Debenture
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest
or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived,
anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to
the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately
enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided
herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.
17. Nothing contained in this Debenture shall be construed as conferring upon
the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or
receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders
or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the
extent converted in accordance with the terms hereof.
18. In no event shall the Holder be permitted to convert this Debenture for
shares of Common Stock to the extent that (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder (other than shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture) plus (y) the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, would be
equal to or exceed 9.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued
and outstanding, including shares issuable upon conversion of this
Debenture held by such Holder after application of this Paragraph 16. As
used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
rules and regulations thereunder. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this Paragraph 16 applies, the determination of whether this
Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the
Holder) and of which a portion of this Debenture is convertible shall be in
the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of
Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder's determination of whether
this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by
such holder) and of which portion of this Debenture is convertible, in each
case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall
have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of a holder
to convert this Debenture into shares of Common Stock at such time as such
conversion will not violate the provisions of this Paragraph 16. The
provisions of this Paragraph 16 may be waived by the Holder of this
Debenture upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 75 days' prior
notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Paragraph 16 shall
continue to apply until such 75th day (or such later date as may be
specified in such notice of waiver). No conversion of this Debenture in
violation of this Paragraph 16 but otherwise in accordance with this
Debenture shall affect the status of the Common Stock issued upon such
conversion as validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable. If instead of
receiving cash on the Maturity Date the Holder instead exercises its right
to convert this Debenture into Common Stock pursuant to Paragraph 3 by
delivery of a Notice of Conversion prior to receipt of payment, and such
conversion would cause the limit contained in the first sentence of this
Paragraph 16 to be exceeded, such conversion of this Debenture shall occur
up to such limit and the remaining unconverted portion of this Debenture
shall be converted into Common Stock (1) in accordance with one or more
Notices of Conversion delivered by the Holder or (2) 65 days after the
Maturity Date, whichever is earlier. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, no interest shall accrue after the Maturity Date on
any such unconverted portion of this Debenture.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly
executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.
