however, that the Company's obligation to a transferee of this Debenture arises
only if such transfer, sale or other disposition is made in accordance with the

The principal of, and interest on, this Debenture are payable at the address
last appearing on the Debenture Register of the Company as designated in writing
by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company will pay the outstanding
principal due upon this Debenture before or on the Maturity Date, less any
amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this
Debenture by check if paid more than 10 days prior to the Maturity Date or by
wire transfer
11
and addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the Debenture

of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability
for principal of this Debenture to the extent of the sum represented by such

below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein.
This Debenture is subject to the following additional
provisions:
1. The Debentures are issuable in denominations of a minimum
of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars (US$25,000). The Debentures are exchangeable
for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures of different authorized
denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same, but not less

transfer or exchange, except that Holder shall pay any tax or other
governmental charges payable in connection therewith.
2. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all
payments any amounts required to be withheld under the applicable laws.
3. This Debenture may be transferred or exchanged only in
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("ACT") and applicable
state 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 all other purposes, whether or not this Debenture be overdue,
and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice
to the contrary. Any Holder of this Debenture, electing to exercise the right
of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements
set forth in Section 4(a), and any prospective transferee of this Debenture,
are also required to give the Company written confirmation that the Debenture
is being converted ("NOTICE OF CONVERSION") in the form annexed hereto as
EXHIBIT I.
4. (a) The Holder of this Debenture is entitled, at its
option, at any time immediately following execution of this Agreement and
delivery of the Debenture hereof, to convert all or any amount over $25,000 of
the principal face amount of this Debenture then outstanding into shares of
Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company ("COMMON STOCK"), at
a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the lower of (a) 75%
of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the day immediately
preceding the date of receipt by the Company of Notice of Conversion
("CONVERSION SHARES") or (b) 75% of the closing bid price of the Common Stock
on the five (5) days immediately preceding the date of subscription by the
Holder as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Electronic
Bulletin Board ("NASDAQ") ("CONVERSION PRICE"). If the number of resultant
Conversion Shares would as a matter of law or pursuant to regulatory authority
require the Company to seek shareholder approval of such issuance, the Company
shall, as soon as practicable, take the necessary steps to seek such approval.
If such approval is not received within 30 days, then Company shall be required
to redeem the Debenture
-2-
12
pursuant to paragraph 4(c) herein. Such conversion shall be effectuated, as
provided in a certain Escrow Agreement executed simultaneously with this
Debenture, by the Company delivering the Conversion Shares to the Holder within
5 days of receipt by the Company of the Notice Of Conversion. Once the Holder
has received such Conversion Shares, the Escrow Agent shall surrender the
Debentures to be converted to the Company, executed by the Holder of this
Debenture evidencing such Holder's intention to convert this Debenture or a
specified portion hereof, and accompanied by proper assignment hereof in blank.
Accrued but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. No fractional
shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion,
but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
(b) Interest at the rate of 8% per annum shall be paid by
issuing Common Stock of the Company as follows: Based on the lower of (a) the
average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the day immediately preceding
the date of the monthly interest payment due or (b) the closing bid prices of
the Common Stock for the last 5 consecutive trading days prior to Closing
("MARKET PRICE"), the Company shall issue to the Holder shares of Common Stock
in an amount equal to the total monthly interest accrued and due divided by 75%
of the Market Price ("INTEREST SHARES"). The dollar amount of interest payable
pursuant to this paragraph 4(b) shall be calculated based upon the total amount
of payments actually made by the Holder in connection with the purchase of the
Debentures at the time any interest payment is due. If such payment is made by
check, interest shall accrue beginning 10 days from the date the check is
received by the Company. If such payment is made by wire transfer directly into
the Company's account, interest shall accrue beginning on the date the wire
transfer is received by the Company. Common Stock issued pursuant hereto shall
be issued pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D in accordance with the terms of
the Subscription Agreement.
(c) At any time after 90 days the Company shall have the
option to pay to the Holder 125% of the principal amount of the Debenture, in
full, to the extent conversion has not occurred pursuant to paragraph 4(a)
herein, or pay upon maturity if the Debenture is not converted. The Company
shall give the Holder 5 days written notice and the Holder during such 5 days
shall have the option to convert the Debenture or any part thereof into shares
of Common Stock at the Conversion Price set forth in paragraph 4(a) of this
Debenture. Any shares issued pursuant to this paragraph 4(c) shall be issued
pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D.
(d) The Debenture Holder shall cause its broker to send to
the Company duplicate confirmation receipts for all sales of the Conversion
Shares by the Debenture Holder.
5. 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 form, herein prescribed.
6. The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment

dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent
-3-

to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for
hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all
sums owing and to be owing hereto.

(i) The Company shall have its Common Stock delisted
from the over-the-counter market; or
(j) The Company shall not deliver to the Buyer the
Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 herein without
restrictive legend within 3 business days,
Then, or at any time thereafter, unless cured, 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 (further) notice of any kind (other than notice of
acceleration), 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, and without expiration of any period of grace,
enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any
other rights or remedies afforded by law.
9. This Debenture represents a prioritized obligation of the
Company. However, 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, 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.
10. In case any provision of this Debenture is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid
or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if
possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Debenture will
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
11. This Debenture and the agreements referred to in this
Debenture constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between
the Company and the Holder with respect to the
-5-
15
subject hereof. Neither this Debenture nor any term hereof may be amended,
waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by
the Company and the Holder.
12. This Debenture shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly to
be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of each party hereto. The Holder and the Company hereby
mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in
the courts of the State of New York. At Holder's election, any dispute between
the parties may be arbitrated rather than litigated in the courts, before the
arbitration board of the National Association of Securities Dealers in New York
City and pursuant to its rules. Upon demand made by the Holder to the Company,
the Company agrees to submit to and participate in such arbitration. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and the facsimile transmission of an
executed counterpart to this Agreement shall be effective as an original.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to
be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

ESCROW AGREEMENT
ESCROW AGREEMENT ("ESCROW AGREEMENT") dated as of July 13,
1998 by and among REVENGE MARINE INC., a Nevada corporation, with a principal
place of business at 7711 S. Jamestown Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74136
("REVENGE"), and SHOLEM LIEBENTHAL, having an address at 2 Hachoma Hashlishit
Street, E. Jerusalem, Israel ("PURCHASER"), and EDWARD H. BURNBAURN, ESQ.,
having a principal place of business at 300 East 42nd Street, New York, New
York 10017 ("ESCROW AGENT").
WHEREAS:
A. Purchaser and Revenge entered into a Securities
Subscription Agreement dated as of July 13, 1998 ("AGREEMENT"), in which, INTER
ALIA, Purchaser agreed to purchase Revenge's 8% Series B Senior Subordinated
Convertible Redeemable Debentures ("DEBENTURES");
B. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Debentures are to be
delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold and administer in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective premises,
mutual covenants and agreements of the parties hereto, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1 . APPOINTMENT OF ESCROW AGENT. Escrow Agent is hereby
appointed as escrow agent and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment.
The Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with the instructions set forth in
this Escrow Agreement and any further instructions given to it by written
instrument signed by Revenge and Purchaser.
2. FUNDING OF ESCROW FUND. On the date hereof, the Purchaser
shall transfer to the Escrow Agent the sum of USD$100,000 to be held by Escrow
Agent in a trust account ("ESCROW FUND") and applied in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent shall provide to
Revenge confirmation that the Escrow Fund has been established in accordance
with this Escrow Agreement.
3. ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY OF THE DEBENTURES TO THE ESCROW
AGENT
On the date hereof, Revenge shall issue in the name of the
Purchaser and deposit with the Escrow Agent the Debenture in the face amount of
$160,000 as provided in the Agreement. If Revenge is not paid the Purchase
Price for the Debenture, as provided in this Escrow Agreement, then the
Debenture, or any portion of the Debenture which is not paid for at the time
when payment is due to be made, shall be canceled by Revenge, and the
18
Escrow Agent, upon written notice of such cancellation from Revenge, shall
promptly return the Debenture to Revenge. Upon such cancellation and return of
the Debenture, the parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities
each to the other under this Escrow Agreement, the Agreement or the Debenture.
4. CUSTODY AND DISPOSITION OF THE DEBENTURES. The Escrow
Agent shall hold and dispose of the Debentures only in accordance with the
terms of this Escrow Agreement.
5. CONVERSION OF DEBENTURES.
(a) As provided in paragraph 4 of the Debentures, Purchaser
may give Notice of Conversion of the Debentures to Revenge by facsimile to the
number set forth in Section 10 below. Conversion of Debentures may take place
at any time until the Maturity Date of the Debentures, as defined in the
Debentures. As provided in paragraph 4 of the Debentures, within 5 business
days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion, Revenge shall deliver to the
Purchaser, or to an account designated by Purchaser in the Notice of
Conversion, certificates representing the shares of common stock to which the
Purchaser shall be entitled by reason of the conversion ("CERTIFICATES").
Purchaser shall wire funds to make payment to Revenge of the face amount of the
Debentures converted on or before the date of conversion. If Purchaser does not
wire transfer payment to Revenge on or before the date of conversion, then
Revenge shall give written notice to Escrow Agent that it has not received
payment, with a copy of such notice to Purchaser, and Escrow Agent shall wire
transfer to Revenge from the Escrow Fund, the face amount of the Debentures
converted ("NOTICE OF PAYMENT") in accordance with the wire instructions
annexed to this Escrow Agreement as EXHIBIT A. In the event a Payment is made
from the Escrow Fund, Purchaser shall be required to replenish the Escrow Fund
before any additional conversions are done. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in paragraph 4 of the Debenture, Revenge may demand, in
writing, that the Purchaser pay outstanding principal amounts of the Debenture
("DEMAND") even though Purchaser has not converted all or any amount of the
Debenture into shares of common stock, as provided in subsections (A) and (B)
below. The Demand is a provision for payment of the Debenture only. Conversions
of the Debenture into shares of common stock shall be done in accordance with
paragraph 4 of the Debenture, and may be in an amount which is no less than
$25,000 but not necessarily as much as the Demand. However, (A) a Demand for
the first $100,000 may be given at any time regardless of the closing bid price
for Revenge's publicly traded common stock for the day preceding the Demand;
and (B) a Demand for the remaining $60,000 may only be given as follows: (i)
Demand may be given for the first $30,000 no less than 15 business days from
the last date the first $100,000 is completely converted; and (ii) a Demand may
be given for the final $30,000 no less than 10 business days thereafter,
PROVIDED HOWEVER, (x) the Demands set forth in subsections (B)(i) and (B)(ii)
may only be given if the closing bid price of Revenge's publicly traded common
stock for the day preceding the Demand is more than $1.33; (y) Revenge may
decline to convert the
-2-
19
remaining portion of unpaid for Debentures into shares of its common stock if
the closing bid price of the common stock for the day preceding the date of
conversion is less than $1.33; and, in any event (z) Revenge must honor any
Notice of Conversion and convert that portion of Debentures which have already
been paid for even if the closing bid price of its common stock for the day
preceding the date of any such conversion is less than $1.33.
On any single business day, Purchaser may sell up to (i)
7,500 Conversion Shares or (ii) Conversion Shares equal to 10% of the total
trading volume of Revenge's common stock at any time during a day when
Revenge's common stock trades, whichever of (i) or (ii) is greater.
(b) If Revenge fails to timely deliver Certificates, as
provided in Section 5(a) above, then Revenge shall pay Purchaser $150 per day
for each day late in delivering Certificates up to and including the 10th late
day, and $500 per day for each day late in delivering the Certificates after
the 10th late day ("LIQUIDATED DAMAGES"). Any Liquidated Damages incurred by
Revenge shall be payable immediately and in cash upon demand in writing by
Purchaser, or its agent, to Revenge. However, such Liquidated Damages may be
deducted from any amounts owed to Revenge by Purchaser pursuant to this
Section 5. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary,
including but not limited to the provisions of Section 6 regarding the
registration of restricted Conversion Shares, Purchaser shall be required to
pay the Liquidated Damages set forth in this Section 5(c).
6. BANKRUPTCY. In the event any proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Laws of the United States or any proceedings under any state laws
for the protection of debtors or creditors, are filed, voluntarily or
involuntarily, by or on behalf of Revenge, then the Escrow Agent shall not,
under any circumstances, give Notice of Payment or make a Demand even if
Revenge has delivered Certificates to the Purchaser as provided in this Escrow
Agreement and the Agreement. For purposes of this section 6, Escrow Funds shall
remain the sole property of the Purchaser until actually paid to Revenge by the
Escrow Agent
7. INDEMNIFICATION. Purchaser and Revenge agree, jointly
and severally to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and
against any and all costs (including, without limitation, legal fees and
expenses), liabilities, claims and losses arising out of or in connection with
this Escrow Agreement or any action or failure to act by the Escrow Agent
under this Escrow Agreement, except as provided in paragraph 8 below.
8. CONCERNING THE ESCROW AGENT. To induce the Escrow Agent to
act hereunder, it is further agreed by the undersigned that:
(a) This Escrow Agreement expressly sets forth all the duties
of the Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No
implied duties or obligations
-3-
20
shall on the part of the Escrow Agent shall be read into this Escrow Agreement.
The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by the provisions of any agreement among the
other parties hereto except this Escrow Agreement.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action or
failure to act in its capacity as Escrow Agent hereunder unless such action or
failure to act shall constitute willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow
Agent, in which case there shall be no indemnification obligations.
(c) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing
delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity
or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of
the service thereof. The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument
or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume, unless he has actual
knowledge to the contrary, that any person purporting to give notice or receipt
or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the
provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.
(d) The Escrow Agent may act pursuant to the advice of
counsel with respect to any matter relating to this Escrow Agreement and shall
not be liable for any action taken or omitted in accordance with such advice,
except as provided in paragraph 8(b) above.
(e) The Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the
Debentures, Conversion Shares, Escrow Fund or any other property deposited
hereunder but is serving as escrow holder only and having only possession
thereof, and is not charged with any duty or responsibility to determine the
validity or enforceability of any such documents.
(f) The Escrow Agent (and any successor Escrow Agent) may at
any time resign as such by delivering the Debentures to any successor Escrow
Agent, jointly designated by the other parties hereto in writing, or to any
court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall be discharged
of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this
Escrow Agreement thereafter. The resignation of the Escrow Agent will take
effect on the earlier of (a) the appointment of a successor (including a court
of competent jurisdiction) or (b) the day which is 30 days after the date of
delivery of its written notice of resignation to the other parties hereto. If
at that time the Escrow Agent has not received a designation of a successor
Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent's sole responsibility after that time shall be
to safekeep the Debentures and not make delivery or disposition thereof until
receipt of a designation of successor Escrow Agent or a joint written
disposition instruction by the other parties hereto or a final order of a court
of competent jurisdiction.
(g) In the event of any disagreement among the parties
hereto resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with
the Debentures, or in the event that
-4-
21
the Escrow Agent otherwise determines that the Debentures should be retained,
then the Escrow Agent may retain the Debentures until the Escrow Agent shall
have received (i) a final nonappealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction directing delivery of the Debentures, or (ii) a written agreement
executed by the other parties hereto directing delivery of the Debentures, in
which case the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Debentures in accordance
with such order or agreement. Any court order referred to in (i) above shall be
accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party reasonably
satisfactory to the Escrow Agent to the effect that said court order is final
and nonappealable. The Escrow Agent shall act on such court order and legal
opinion without further question.
(h) This Escrow Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
(including successors by way of merger) and assigns, heirs, administrators and
representatives and shall not be enforceable by or inure to the benefit of any
third party except as provided in paragraph (g) with respect to a resignation
by the Escrow AGENT.
(i) This Escrow Agreement may be modified by a writing signed
by all the parties hereto, and no waiver hereunder shall be effective unless in
a writing signed by the party to be charged.
9. GOVERNING LAW. This Escrow Agreement shall be governed in
all respects by the internal laws of the State of New York. The parties agree
to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court in New
York City having subject matter jurisdiction over the matter. Service may be
made by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at the
addresses set forth in paragraph 10 below, but the parties shall not be
precluded from making service in any other manner permitted by law.

service for next day delivery. Each such notice or other communication shall
for all purposes of this Escrow Agreement be treated as effective or having
