No.  1     $2,000,000

                          7%  CONVERTIBLE  DEBENTURE
                                     of

     Creative  Host  Services, Inc., a California corporation (together with its
successors,  the  "Company"),  for  value  received  hereby  promises to pay to:

     GCA  STRATEGIC  INVESTMENT  FUND  LIMITED

(The  "Holder")  and  registered  assigns,  the  principal  sum  of  Two Million
($2,000,000)  or,  if  less,  the  principal  amount  of  this  Debenture  then
outstanding,  on  the  Maturity  Date  by wire transfer of immediately available
funds  to the Holder in such coin or currency of the United States of America as
at  the  time  of  payment  shall  be legal tender for the payment of public and
private debts, and to pay interest which shall accrue beginning the date hereof,
quarterly in arrears, on (i) the last day of March, June, September and December
of  each year until the Maturity Date, commencing December 31, 2000 (unless such
day  is  not a Business Day, in which event on the next succeeding Business Day)
(each an "Interest Payment Date"), (ii) the Maturity Date, (iii) each Conversion
Date,  as  hereafter  defined,  and  (iv)  the  date the principal amount of the
Convertible Debentures shall be declared to be or shall automatically become due
and  payable,  on the principal sum hereof outstanding in like coin or currency,
at  the  rates  per annum set forth below, from the most recent Interest Payment
Date  to  which  interest  has been paid on this Convertible Debenture, or if no
interest  has  been  paid  on  this Convertible Debenture, from the date of this
Convertible Debenture until payment in full of the principal sum hereof has been
made.  The  Maturity  Date  is  September  26,  2003.

     The  interest  rate  shall  be  seven percent (7%) per annum (the "Interest
Rate")  or,  if  less,  the  maximum rate permitted by applicable law.  Past due
amounts  (including  interest,  to the extent permitted by law) will also accrue
interest  at  the  Interest Rate plus 2% per annum or, if less, the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law, and will be payable on demand ("Default Interest").
Interest  on  this  Convertible  Debenture  will be calculated on the basis of a
360-day  year  of  twelve 30 day months.  All payments of principal and interest
hereunder  shall  be made for the benefit of the Holder pursuant to the terms of
the  Agreement  (hereafter defined).  At the option of the Company, interest may
be  paid in cash or in shares of Common Stock.  If the Company determines to pay
interest in shares of Common Stock, it shall be required to notify the Holder of
such  election  on the Closing Date.  On each Conversion Date, interest shall be
paid  in  shares  of Common Stock on the portion of the principal balance of the
Convertible  Debenture  then  being  converted.  The  number of shares of Common
Stock  issued  as  interest shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of
interest  due  on  the  applicable Interest Payment Date by the Conversion Price
then  in  effect.

     This  Convertible  Debenture  (this  "Convertible  Debenture")  is  a  duly
authorized issuance of Convertible Debentures of the Company referred to in that
certain  Securities  Purchase  Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the
Company  and  the  Purchaser  named  therein  (the  "Agreement").  The Agreement
contains  certain  additional  agreements  among the parties with respect to the
terms  of  this Convertible Debenture, including, without limitation, provisions
which  (A)  limit the conversion rights of the Holder, (B) specify voluntary and
mandatory  repayment,  prepayment  and redemption rights and obligations and (C)
specify  Events  of  Default following which the remaining balance due and owing
hereunder  may be accelerated.  All such provisions are an integral part of this
Convertible  Debenture  and  are  incorporated  herein  by  reference.  This
Convertible  Debenture is transferable and assignable to one or more Persons, in
accordance  with  the  limitations  set  forth  in  the  Agreement.

     Effective  as  of  October  26,  2000  this  Convertible Debenture shall be
secured by a Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") of even date herewith
made  by  the  Company  and  Holder creating a security interest in favor of the
Holder  in  certain of the Company's assets described in the Security Agreement.

     The  Company  shall  keep  a  register  (the  "Register") in which shall be
entered  the  names  and  addresses of the registered holder of this Convertible
Debenture  and particulars of this Convertible Debenture held by such holder and
of  all  transfers  of  this Convertible Debenture.  References to the Holder or
"Holders"  shall  mean the Person listed in the Register as registered holder of
such  Convertible Debentures.  The ownership of this Convertible Debenture shall
be  proven  by  the  Register.

1.          CERTAIN  TERMS  DEFINED.  All terms defined in the Agreement and not
otherwise  defined  herein  shall have for purposes hereof the meanings provided
for  in  the  Agreement.

2.          COVENANTS.  The  Company covenants and agrees to observe and perform
each  of its covenants, obligations and undertakings contained in the Agreement,
which  obligations  and undertakings are expressly assumed herein by the Company
and  made  for  the  benefit  of  the  holder  hereof.

3.          PAYMENT  OF  PRINCIPAL;  PREPAYMENT.   The  Company  shall repay the
remaining  unpaid  balance  of  this Convertible Debenture on the Maturity Date.
For  so  long  as  no  Event of Default or Default has occurred, the Company may
prepay  all  of  the  outstanding  principal amount and accrued interest of this
Convertible  Debenture on or before the thirtieth day following the date of this
Convertible  Debenture  for a prepayment price equal to the original outstanding
principal amount of this Convertible Debenture plus all accrued interest thereon
(the  "Prepayment  Price").  In  addition  to  the foregoing, the Company may or
shall  be  obligated  to under certain circumstances, redeem all or a portion of
this Convertible Debenture on the terms specified in the Agreement in accordance
with  Section  5  of  this  Convertible  Debenture.

4.          CONVERSION.

4.1     CONVERSION  OF CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE.   Subject to Section 5 hereof, the
Holder  shall  have  the  right,  at  its option, at any time from and after the
thirtieth  day  following  the  date  of issuance of this Convertible Debenture,
convert  the  principal  amount of this Convertible Debenture, or any portion of
such  principal  amount, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares
of  Common  Stock (as such shares shall then be constituted) determined pursuant
to  this  Section  4.1.  The  number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
each  conversion  of  this Convertible Debenture shall be determined by dividing
the  Conversion  Amount  (as defined below) by the Conversion Price in effect on
the  date  (the  "Conversion  Date")  a Notice of Conversion is delivered to the
Company,  as applicable, by the Holder by facsimile or other reasonable means of
communication  dispatched  prior  to  5:00  p.m.,  E.S.T.  The  term "Conversion
Amount" means, with respect to any conversion of this Convertible Debenture, the
sum of (1) the principal amount of this Convertible Debenture to be converted in
such  conversion plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal
amount  at  the  interest  rates  provided  in this Convertible Debenture to the
Conversion  Date  plus (3) Default Interest, if any, on the interest referred to
in  the  immediately  preceding  clause (2) plus (4) at the Holder's option, any
amounts  owed  to the Holder pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, Section 10.1 of the
Agreement  or  Section  10.4  of  the  Agreement.

4.2     CONVERSION  PRICE.   At  the option of the Holder, any portion or all of
the  outstanding  principal  amount  of  this  Convertible  Debenture  shall  be
converted  into  a number of shares of Common Stock at the conversion price (the
"Conversion  Price")  equal  to  the  lesser  of (i) 110% of the volume weighted
average  sales  price  of the Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. on the
day  immediately  preceding  the Closing Date (the "Fixed Conversion Price") and
(ii)  85%  of  the  average of the five (5) lowest volume weighted average sales
prices  of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during the twenty-five
(25)  Trading  Days  immediately  preceding  but  not  including the date of the
related  Notice  of  Conversion  (the  "Formula  Conversion  Price").

4.3     AUTHORIZED  SHARES.

     (a)          Consistent with Section 7.11 of the Agreement, the Company (i)
shall  promptly  irrevocably  instruct  the  Company's  transfer  agent to issue
certificates  for  the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Convertible
Debenture  and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Convertible Debenture shall
constitute  full  authority  to its officers and agents who are charged with the
duty  of  executing  stock  certificates  to  execute  and  issue  the necessary
certificates  for  shares  of  Common  Stock  in  accordance  with the terms and
conditions  of  this  Convertible  Debenture.

     (b)          If  at any time a Holder of this Convertible Debenture submits
a  Notice  of Conversion (x) the Company does not have sufficient authorized but
unissued  shares  of Common Stock available to effect such conversion in full in
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  Article  4  or  (y)  the Company is
prohibited  by  the  applicable  rules of the OTC Bulletin Board or the National
Market  on  which the Common Shares are listed and traded at that time to effect
such conversion in full as provided in subsection (d) below, without stockholder
approval  (each,  a "Conversion Default"), the Company shall issue to the Holder
all  of  the  shares  of  Common  Stock  which are then available to effect such
conversion.  The portion of this Convertible Debenture which the Holder included
in  its Conversion Notice and which exceeds the amount which is then convertible
into  available  shares  of  Common  Stock  (the  "Excess  Amount")  shall,
notwithstanding  anything  to  the contrary contained herein, not be convertible
into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof until (and at the Holder's
option  at  any  time  after)  the  date  additional  shares of Common Stock are
authorized by the Company, or its stockholders, as applicable, at which time the
Conversion  Price  in  respect  thereof shall be the lower of (i) the Conversion
Price  on the Conversion Default Date (as defined below) and (ii) the Conversion
Price  on  the  Conversion  Date  thereafter  elected  by  the Holder in respect
thereof.  The  Company  shall  pay  to  the Holder payments ("Conversion Default
Payments")  for a Conversion Default in the amount of (N/365) x .24 x the Excess
Amount  on  the  Conversion  Date  in  respect  of  the  Conversion Default (the
"Conversion  Default  Date"),  where  N = the number of days from the Conversion
Default  Date  to  the  date (the "Authorization Date") that the Company, or its
stockholders,  as applicable, authorizes a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock  to  effect  conversion  of the full outstanding principal balance of this
Convertible  Debenture.  The Company shall use its best efforts to authorize, or
cause  its  stockholders  to  authorize  within  40  days of the occurrence of a
Conversion Default, as applicable, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
as  soon  as  practicable following the earlier of (i) such time that the Holder
notifies  the Company or that the Company otherwise becomes aware that there are
or  likely will be insufficient shares to allow full conversion thereof and (ii)
a  Conversion  Default.  The  Company  shall  send  notice  to the Holder of the
authorization  of  additional shares of Common Stock, the Authorization Date and
the  amount  of  Holder's  accrued  Conversion  Default  Payments.  The  accrued
Conversion  Default  Payments  for  each calendar month shall be paid in cash or
shall  be  convertible  into  Common Stock (at such time as there are sufficient
authorized  shares of Common Stock) at the Market Price, at the Holder's option,
as  follows:

     (1)     In  the  event the Holder elects to take such payment in cash, cash
payment shall be made to Holder by the fifth Business Day of the month following
the  month  in  which  it  has  accrued;  and

     (2)     In  the  event  the  Holder  elects  to take such payment in Common
Stock,  the  Holder  may  convert  such  payment amount into Common Stock at the
Conversion  Price (as in effect at the time of conversion) at any time after the
fifth  Business Day of the month following the month in which it has accrued (at
such  time  as  there  are  sufficient  authorized  shares  of  Common Stock) in
accordance  with  the  terms  of  this  Article  4.

     (c)          The  Holder's  election  pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be
made  in  writing  to the Company at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., E.S.T., on the
third  Business Day of the month following the month in which Conversion Default
payments  have  accrued.  If  no election is made, the Holder shall be deemed to
have  elected  to receive cash.  Nothing herein shall limit the Holders right to
pursue  actual  damages  (to  the  extent  in  excess  of the Conversion Default
Payments)  due  to  the  Company's  failure  to  maintain a sufficient number of
authorized  shares  of  Common  Stock.

     (d)          In  no  event  shall  the  Company issue more than the Maximum
Number  of  Shares  upon  conversion  of  this Convertible Debenture, unless the
Company  shall  have  obtained  approval  by  the  stockholders  of  the Company
("Stockholder  Approval")  or  a  waiver of such requirement by the OTC Bulletin
Board or the National Market on which the Common Shares are listed and traded at
that time.  Once the Maximum Number of Shares has been issued (the date of which
is hereinafter referred to as the "Maximum Conversion Date"), unless the Company
shall  have obtained Stockholder Approval or a waiver of such requirement by the
OTC  Bulletin Board or the National Market on which the Common Shares are listed
and  traded  at  that  time  within  40 days of the Maximum Conversion Date, the
Company  shall  pay  to  the Holder within five (5) Business Days of the Maximum
Conversion Date (or, if the Company is, in good faith, using its best efforts to
obtain  Stockholder  Approval,  then  the  earlier  of (x) 40 days following the
Maximum  Conversion  Date, and (y) such date that it becomes reasonably apparent
that  Stockholder Approval will not be obtained within such 40 days period), the
Formula  Price  plus  accrued  and unpaid Default Interest, if any.  The Maximum
Number  of  Shares  shall  be  subject to adjustment from time to time for stock
splits,  stock  dividends,  combinations,  capital  reorganizations  and similar
events  relating  to  the  Common  Stock  occurring  after  the  date  hereof as
contemplated  by  Article  XI  of the Agreement.  With respect to each Holder of
Convertible  Debentures,  the  Maximum  Number  of  Shares  shall  refer to such
Holder's  pro  rata  share thereof based upon the aggregate principal balance of
the  Convertible  Debentures  then  outstanding.  In  the event that the Company
obtains Stockholder Approval, approval of the OTC Bulletin Board or the National
Market  on  which  the  Common  Shares  are  listed  and traded at that time, or
otherwise  is  able  to  increase  the  number  of shares to be issued above the
Maximum Number of Shares (such increased number being the "New Maximum Number of
Shares"),  the  references  to Maximum Number of Shares above shall be deemed to
be,  instead,  references  to  the  New  Maximum  Number  of  Shares.

     4.4          METHOD  OF  CONVERSION.

     (a)          Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary set forth herein,
upon  conversion  of  this  Convertible  Debenture  in accordance with the terms
hereof,  the  Holder  shall  not  be  required  to  physically  surrender  this
Convertible  Debenture  to the Company unless the entire unpaid principal amount
of  this  Convertible  Debenture  is  so converted.  Rather, records showing the
principal amount converted (or otherwise repaid) and the date of such conversion
or  repayment shall be maintained on a ledger substantially in the form of Annex
A attached hereto (a copy of which shall be delivered to the Company or transfer
agent with each Notice of Conversion).  It is specifically contemplated that the
Holder hereof shall act as the calculation agent for conversions and repayments.
In  the  event  of  any dispute or discrepancies, such records maintained by the
Holder  shall  be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error
or  failure  of  Holder  to  record the principal amount converted (or otherwise
repaid)  from  time  to time, in which events the record of the Company shall be
controlling  and  determinative.  The  Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of
this  Convertible  Debenture,  acknowledge  and  agree  that,  by  reason of the
provisions  of  this  paragraph,  following  a  conversion  of a portion of this
Convertible  Debenture,  the  principal  amount  represented by this Convertible
Debenture  will be the amount indicated on Annex A attached hereto (which may be
less  than  the  amount  stated  on  the  face  hereof).

     (b)          The  Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable  in  respect  of  any  transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of
shares  of  Common  Stock  or other securities or property on conversion of this
Convertible  Debenture  in  a  name  other than that of the Holder (or in street
name), and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares
or  other  securities  or property unless and until the person or persons (other
than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held
for the Holder's account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the
Company the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction
of  the  Company  that  such  tax  has  been  paid.

     (c)          Subject  to Section 5 hereof, upon receipt by the Company of a
Notice  of  Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of
the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount
and  the  amount  of  accrued  and unpaid interest on this Convertible Debenture
shall  be  deemed  reduced  to  reflect such conversion, and, unless the Company
defaults on its obligations under this Article 4, all rights with respect to the
portion  of  this  Convertible  Debenture  being  so  converted  shall forthwith
terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash
or  other  assets, as herein provided, on such conversion.  Subject to Section 5
hereof,  if  the  Holder  shall  have  given  a Notice of Conversion as provided
herein,  the  Company's  obligation  to  issue  and deliver the certificates for
shares  of Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the
absence  of  any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
with respect to any provisions thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any
person  or any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any failure or delay in
the  enforcement of any other obligation of the Company to the Holder of record,
or  any  setoff,  counterclaim,  recoupment,  limitation  or termination, or any
breach  or  alleged  breach  by the Holder of any obligation to the Company, and
subject  to  Section  4.4(a)  irrespective of any other circumstance which might
otherwise  limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with
such  conversion.  The  date of receipt (including receipt via telecopy) of such
Notice  of  Conversion  shall  be  the Conversion Date so long as it is received
before  5:00  p.m.,  E.S.T.,  on  such  date.

     (d)          Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if a Holder has not received
certificates  for  all  shares  of  Common  Stock prior to the expiration of the
Deadline  with  respect  to  a  conversion  of  any  portion of this Convertible
Debenture for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its
status  as  a  holder  of  Common Stock by so notifying the Company), the Holder
shall  regain  the rights of a Holder of this Convertible Debenture with respect
to  such  unconverted  portions  of  this  Convertible Debenture and the Company
shall,  as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Convertible Debenture to
the holder or, if the Convertible Debenture has not been surrendered, adjust its
records  to  reflect  that  such  portion of this Convertible Debenture not been
converted.  In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies
(including,  without  limitation,  (i)  the  right to receive Conversion Default
Payments  to  the  extent  required  thereby for such Conversion Default and any
subsequent  Conversion  Default  and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price
with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 4.3
for  the  Company's  failure  to  convert  this  Convertible  Debenture.

     (e)          In  lieu  of delivering physical certificates representing the
Common  Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Company's transfer agent is
participating  in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities
Transfer  program,  upon  request  of  the  Holder  and  its compliance with the
provisions  contained  in Section 4.1 and in this Section 4.4, the Company shall
use  its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the
Common  Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of
Holder's  Prime  Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
System.

5.          REDEMPTION  BY  COMPANY.

5.1     COMPANY'S  RIGHT  TO  REDEEM.   In accordance with the provisions of the
Purchase  Agreement,  the  Company may elect at any time following the thirtieth
day  following  the  date  of  issuance  of  this  Convertible  Debenture, or be
required, upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion, to redeem in whole or in part,
the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Convertible Debenture, for cash at
a redemption price (the "Redemption Price") equal to (x) the number of shares of
Common  Stock  into  which this Convertible Debenture is then convertible, times
(y)  the average Closing Bid Price of Common Stock for the five (5) trading days
as  reported  by  Bloomberg  L.P.  immediately  prior  to  the  date  that  this
Convertible  Debenture  is  called  for  redemption,  plus  accrued  and  unpaid
interest.

5.2     MECHANICS  OF REDEMPTION.  The Company shall effect each such redemption
within  three  business  days  of  giving  notice  of  its election to redeem by
facsimile with a copy by either overnight or 2-day courier to the Holder of this
Convertible Debenture to be redeemed at the address and facsimile number of such
Holder appearing in the Company's register for the Convertible Debentures.  Such
redemption  notice shall indicate whether the Company will redeem all or part of
such  portion  of  the  Convertible  Debenture to be redeemed and the applicable
Redemption  Price.  The  Company  shall  not  be  entitled to send any notice of
redemption  and begin the redemption procedure unless it has (i) the full amount
of  the  Redemption  Price,  in cash, available in a demand or other immediately
available account in a bank or similar financial institution or (ii) immediately
available  credit facilities, in the full amount of the Redemption Price, with a
bank  or similar financial institution on the date the redemption notice is sent
to  the  Holders  of this Convertible Debenture.  Provided, however, the Company
will process any Notice of Conversion received prior to the issuance of a notice
of  redemption; and further provided that, after a notice of redemption has been
issued,  the  Holder  may issue a Notice of Conversion which will not be honored
unless  the Company fails to make the redemption payment when due.  In the event
of  such failure, the Notice of Conversion will be honored as of the date of the
Notice  of Conversion.  Additionally, if the Company fails to make full payments
of  the  Redemption  Price  of  this Convertible Debenture being redeemed by the
third  business  day following the notice or redemption, then the Company waives
its  right  to  redeem  any of the remaining then outstanding Debentures, unless
approved  by  the  Holder.

5.3     PAYMENT  OF REDEMPTION PRICE.  The Redemption Price shall be paid to the
Holder  of this Convertible Debenture within three business days of the delivery
of  the  notice  of  such  redemption  to  such  Holder.

6.     HOLDER'S  RIGHT  TO  ADVANCE  NOTICE  OF  ELECTION  REDEEM.

6.1     HOLDER'S RIGHT TO ELECT TO RECEIVE NOTICE OF CASH REDEMPTION BY COMPANY.
The Holder of this Convertible Debenture shall have the right to require Company
to  provide  advance notice stating whether the Company will elect to redeem all
or  part of the redeemable portion in cash, pursuant to the Company's redemption
rights  discussed  in  Section  5.1  above.

6.2     MECHANICS  OF HOLDER'S ELECTION NOTICE.  Holder shall give notice to the
Company  by  facsimile  (the  "Election  Notice"),  requiring  that  the Company
disclose  whether  the  Company  would elect to redeem the redeemable portion of
this Convertible Debenture (in whole or in part) if the Holder were to provide a
Notice  of  Conversion  and  sought to convert the Convertible Debenture in such
principal  amount  as  is  specified  in  the  Notice  of  Election.

6.3     COMPANY'S  RESPONSE.  Company  must  respond,  disclosing  its election,
within  two  (2)  business  days  of  receipt  of  Holder's  Election Notice via
facsimile.  If  Company  does not respond to Holder within two (2) business days
(by  12:00  noon,  if  required above) via facsimile, Company shall be deemed to
have  forfeited  its  right to exercise redemption pursuant to Section 5(a) upon
its  receipt  of  (but  only  with  respect  to)  that  Notice  of  Conversion.

7.          MISCELLANEOUS.  This  Convertible  Debenture shall be deemed to be a
contract  made  under  the laws of the State of California, and for all purposes
shall  be  governed  by and construed in accordance with the laws of said State.
The  parties  hereto,  including  all  guarantors  or  endorsers,  hereby  waive
presentment,  demand,  notice,  protest  and  all  other  demands and notices in
connection  with  the  delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this
Convertible  Debenture,  except  as  specifically  provided herein, and asset to
extensions  of  the  time of payment, or forbearance or other indulgence without
notice.  The  Company hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States  District  Court  for  the  Central  District  of  California  and of any
California  state  court  sitting  in  San Diego, California for purposes of all
legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Convertible Debenture.  The
Company  irrevocably  waives,  to  the  fullest  extent  permitted  by  law, any
objection  which  it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any
such  proceeding  brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding
brought  in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  The Company
hereby  irrevocably  waives  any  and  all  right  to trial by jury in any legal
proceeding  arising  out  of  or  relating  to  this  Convertible  Debenture.

     The  Holder of this Convertible Debenture by acceptance of this Convertible
Debenture  agrees  to  be  bound by the provisions of this Convertible Debenture
which  are  expressly  binding  on  such  Holder.



     IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  Company  has  caused this instrument to be duly
executed.
