CINTEL CORP.
5% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
DUE AUGUST___, 2007
No. ___ $240,000
This Secured Debenture is issued by CINTEL CORP., a Nevada corporation
(the "Company"), to CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP (together with its permitted
successors and assigns, the "Holder") on August ___, 2004 (the "Closing Date")
pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
ARTICLE I.
SECTION 1.01 PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. For value received, on August ___,
2007, the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of the Holder in lawful
money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds the
principal sum of Two Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars (US $240,000), together with
interest on the unpaid principal of this Debenture at the rate of five percent
(5%) per year (computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual days
elapsed) from the date of this Debenture until paid. At the Company's option,
the entire principal amount and all accrued interest shall be either (a) paid to
the Holder on the third (3rd) year anniversary from the date hereof or (b)
converted in accordance with Section 1.02 herein provided, however, that in no
event shall the Holder be entitled to convert this Debenture for a number of
shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which,
upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates to
exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such
conversion.
SECTION 1.02 OPTIONAL CONVERSION. The Holder is entitled, at its
option, to convert, and sell on the same day, at any time and from time to time,
until payment in full of this Debenture, up to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000)
plus accrued interest, into shares (the "Conversion Shares") of the Company's
common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock"), at the price per share
(the "Conversion Price") equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the lowest
Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding
the Conversion Date (as defined herein). As used herein, "Principal Market"
shall mean The National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.'s
Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or American Stock
Exchange. If the Common Stock is not traded on a Principal Market, the Closing
Bid Price shall mean, the reported Closing Bid Price for the Common Stock, as
furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., for the
applicable periods. No fraction of 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. To convert this Debenture, the Holder hereof
shall deliver written notice thereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit "A"
to this Debenture, with appropriate insertions (the "Conversion Notice"), to the
Company at its address as set forth herein. The date upon which the conversion
shall be effective (the "Conversion Date") shall be deemed to be the date set
forth in the Conversion Notice.
SECTION 1.03 RIGHT OF REDEMPTION. The Company at its option shall have
the right to redeem for cash, with thirty (30) business days advance written
notice (the "Redemption Notice"), a portion of or all of the outstanding
principal sum under this Debenture. The redemption price shall be equal to one
hundred twenty percent (120%) multiplied by the portion of the principal sum
being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
SECTION 1.04 RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company shall reserve and
keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Debenture, such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect such
conversion, based upon the Conversion Price. If at any time the Company does not
have a sufficient number of Conversion Shares authorized and available, then the
Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within ninety
(90) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock. Management shall recommend to the
shareholders of the Company to vote in favor of increasing the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock. Management shall also vote all of its shares
of Common Stock in favor of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common
Stock.
SECTION 1.05 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company is obligated to register
the resale of the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, between the
Company and the Holder of even date herewith (the "Investor Registration Rights
Agreement").
SECTION 1.06 INTEREST PAYMENTS. The interest so payable will be paid at
the time of maturity or conversion to the person in whose name this Debenture is
registered. At the time such interest is payable, the Holder, in its sole
2
discretion, may elect to receive the interest in cash (via wire transfer or
certified funds) or in the form of Common Stock. In the event of default, as
described in Article III Section 3.01 hereunder, the Holder may elect that the
interest be paid in cash (via wire transfer or certified funds) or in the form
of Common Stock. If paid in the form of Common Stock, the amount of stock to be
issued will be calculated as follows: the value of the stock shall be the
Closing Bid Price on: (i) the date the interest payment is due; or (ii) if the
interest payment is not made when due, the date the interest payment is made. A
number of shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the amount of interest
due shall be issued. No fractional shares will be issued; therefore, in the
event that the value of the Common Stock per share does not equal the total
interest due, the Company will pay the balance in cash.
SECTION 1.07 PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, the Company will
act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may change any paying agent,
registrar, or Company-registrar by giving the Holder not less than ten (10)
business days' written notice of its election to do so, specifying the name,
address, telephone number and facsimile number of the paying agent or registrar.
The Company may act in any such capacity.
ARTICLE II.
SECTION 2.01 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVER OF DEFAULT. The Debenture may not be
amended without the written consent of the Holder. Notwithstanding the above,
without the consent of the Holder, the Debenture may be amended to cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for assumption of the Company
obligations to the Holder or to make any change that does not adversely affect
the rights of the Holder.
ARTICLE III.
SECTION 3.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. An Event of Default is defined as
follows: (a) failure by the Company to pay amounts due hereunder within fifteen
(15) days of the date of maturity of this Debenture; (b) failure by the Company
to comply with the terms of the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions attached
to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement of even date herewith entered into
between the Company and the Holder (the "Standby Equity Distribution
Agreement"); (c) failure by the Company's transfer agent to issue Common Stock
to the Holder within five (5) days of the Company's receipt of the attached
Notice of Conversion from Holder; (d) failure by the Company for ten (10) days
after notice to it to comply with any of its other agreements in the Debenture;
(e) events of bankruptcy or insolvency; (f) a breach by the Company of its
obligations under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement or the Registration
Rights Agreement which is not cured by the Company within ten (10) days after
receipt of written notice thereof.
SECTION 3.02 FAILURE TO ISSUE UNRESTRICTED COMMON STOCK. As indicated
in Article III Section 3.01, a breach by the Company of its obligations under
the Investor Registration Rights Agreement shall be deemed an Event of Default,
which if not cured within ten (10) days, shall entitle the Holder to accelerate
full repayment of all debentures outstanding and accrued interest thereon. The
Company acknowledges that failure to honor a Notice of Conversion shall cause
irreparable harm to the Holder.

ARTICLE IV.
SECTION 4.01 RIGHTS AND TERMS OF CONVERSION. Commencing on the date

closing, into shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the Conversion Price as
described in Section 1.02 above.
SECTION 4.02 RE-ISSUANCE OF DEBENTURE. When the Holder elects to
convert a part of the Debenture, then the Company shall reissue a new Debenture
in the same form as this Debenture to reflect the new principal amount.
SECTION 4.03 TERMINATION OF CONVERSION RIGHTS. The Holder's right to
convert the Debenture into the Common Stock in accordance with paragraph 4.01
shall terminate on the date that is the third (3rd) year anniversary from the
date hereof and this Debenture shall be automatically converted on that date in
accordance with the formula set forth in Section 4.01 hereof, and the
appropriate shares of Common Stock and amount of interest shall be issued to the
Holder.
ARTICLE V.
SECTION 5.01 ANTI-DILUTION. In the event that the Company shall at any
time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock
dividend on the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision or the issuance of such dividend shall be
proportionately decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time
combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased,
effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, dividend or
combination as the case may be.
SECTION 5.02 CONSENT OF HOLDER TO SELL CAPITAL STOCK. Except for the
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company
and Cornell Capital Partners, LP. so long as any of the principal of or interest
on this Debenture remains unpaid and unconverted, the Company shall not, without
the prior consent of the Holder, issue or sell (i) any Common Stock or Preferred
Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than its fair
market value determined immediately prior to its issuance other than pursuant to
a presently contemplated financing of up to Five Million U.S. Dollars
($5,000,000), (ii) issue or sell any Preferred Stock, warrant, option, right,
contract, call, or other security or instrument granting the holder thereof the

share less than such Common Stock's fair market value determined immediately
prior to its issuance other than pursuant to a presently contemplated financing
of up to Five Million U.S. Dollars ($5,000,000), (iii) enter into any security
instrument granting the holder a security interest in any and all assets of the
Company other than pursuant to a presently contemplated financing of up to Five
Million U.S. Dollars ($5,000,000) or (iv) file any registration statement on
Form S-8 that registers more than two million (2,000,000) shares of Common
Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company intends to file a
registration statement on Form S-8 that registers two million (2,000,000) or
fewer shares of Common Stock, the Company must provide the Investor(s) fifteen
(15) days prior written notice.
