Section 2.4 Payment of Overdue Interest

 

The Borrower shall, on demand, pay to the Lender by depositing to the Payment Account, interest on all overdue payments in connection with this Debenture from the date any such payment becomes overdue and for so long as such amount remains unpaid at a rate per annum which is equal to the applicable interest rate.

Section 2.5 Compliance with the Interest Act (Canada)

 

For the purposes of this Debenture, whenever any interest is calculated on the basis of a period of time other than a calendar year, the annual rate of interest to which each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) is such rate as so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be paid and divided by the number of days used in the basis of such determination.

Section 4.3 Automatic Conversion

 

(1) Upon payment of the Guaranteed Interest Payment, less any interest paid on the Principal Amount up to and including the date of conversion, and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (the "Borrower VWAP Conversion"), if during the period commencing on the date of this Debenture and ending on the day immediately prior to the Maturity Date (the "Borrower Conversion Period"), for any forty five (45) consecutive trading days during the Borrower Conversion Period (the "VWAP Measurement Period"), the daily VWAP of the Shares on the Exchange is greater than $0.218, 100% of the Principal Amount then outstanding under this Debenture shall be converted into Shares at the Conversion Price on the day immediately following the end of the VWAP Measurement Period (the "Borrower Conversion Date") and this Debenture shall be cancelled. On the date of conversion, the Borrower will pay to the Lender accrued but unpaid interest up to and including the Borrower Conversion Date.

 

(2) The Borrower VWAP Conversion shall extend only to the maximum number of whole Shares into which the Principal Amount of this Debenture may be converted in accordance with this Section 4.3. Fractional interests in Shares shall be adjusted in the manner provided in Section 4.5.

Section 4.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price

 

The Conversion Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(1)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall:

   

 

(a)

subdivide, re-divide or change the outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares;

 

 

 

 

(b)

reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares;

 

 

 

 

(c)

issue Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Shares by way of stock dividend; or

 

 

 

 

(d)

make a distribution on its outstanding Shares payable in Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares,

     

then the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, change, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such issue of Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) by way of a stock dividend or other distribution, as the case may be, shall, in the case of the events referred to inSection 4.4(1)(a), (c) and (d) above, be decreased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision, change or dividend (including, in the case where securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares are issued, the number of Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been converted into or exchanged for Shares on such effective or record date) or shall, in the case of the events referred to in Section 4.4(1)(b) above, be increased in proportion to the decrease in the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation on such effective or record date; in each case by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such effective date or record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such date and the denominator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding immediately after such date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.4(1) shall occur. Any such issue of Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) by way of a stock dividend or other distribution shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the stock dividend or other distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Shares under Section 4.4(2) and (3). To the extent that any such securities are not converted into or exchanged for Shares prior to the expiration of the conversion or exchange right, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted effective as at the date of such expiration to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Shares actually issued on the exercise of such conversion or exchange right.

 

 
10

 

   

(2) If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than forty-five (45) days after such record date (such period from the record date to the date of expiry being referred to in thisSection 4.4(2) as the "Rights Period"), to subscribe for or purchase Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) at a price per share less than 95% of the Market Price for Shares ending on the third trading day prior to such record date (such subscription price per Share (inclusive of any cost of acquisition of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares in addition to any direct cost of Shares) being referred to in this Section 4.4(2) as the "Per Share Cost"), the Borrower shall give written notice to the Lender with respect thereto (any of such events herein referred to as a "Rights Offering"), and the Lender shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to elect to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Debenture into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Debenture. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Debenture, such conversion shall occur immediately prior to the record date for the issuance of such rights, options or warrants. If the Lender elects not to convert any of the Principal Amount of this Debenture, there shall continue to be an adjustment to the Conversion Price as a result of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants, in the manner hereinafter provided. The Conversion Price will be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction:

 

 

(a)

the numerator of which is the aggregate of:

     

 

(i)

the total number of Shares outstanding as of the record date for such Rights Offering; and

 

 

 

 

(ii)

the number determined by dividing the product of the Per Share Cost and:

   

 

 

(A)

where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.4(2) was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase additional Shares, the number of Shares so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period, or

 

 

 

 

 

 

(B)

where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.4(2) was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares, the number of Shares for which those securities so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period could have been exchanged or into which they could have been converted during the Rights Period,

 

 

 

 

 

 

by the Market Price of the Shares ending on the third trading day prior to such record date for the commencement of the Rights Offering; and

    

 
11

 

    

 

(b)

the denominator of which is:

   

 

(i)

in the case described in Section 4.4(2)(a)(ii)(A), the total number of Shares outstanding, or

 

 

 

 

(ii)

in the case described in Section 4.4(2)(a)(ii)(B), the total number of Shares that would be outstanding if all the Shares described in Section 4.4(2)(a)(ii)(B) had been issued,

 

 

 

 

in each case, at the end of the Rights Period.

     

Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

To the extent that any adjustment in the Conversion Price occurs pursuant to this Section 4.4(2) as a result of the fixing by the Borrower of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 4.4(2), the Conversion Price will be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Shares actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

 

If the Lender has exercised its Conversion Right in accordance herewith during the Rights Period, the Lender will, in addition to the Shares to which it is otherwise entitled upon such exercise, be entitled to that number of additional Shares equal to the result obtained when the difference, if any, between the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to, and the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the end of such Rights Offering pursuant to thisSection 4.4(2), is multiplied by the number of Shares received upon the exercise of the Conversion Right during such period, and the resulting product is divided by the Conversion Price as adjusted for such Rights Offering pursuant to this Section 4.4(2); provided that no fractional Shares will be issued and shall be adjusted in the manner provided in Section 4.5. Such additional Shares will be deemed to have been issued to the Lender immediately following the end of the Rights Period and a certificate for such additional Shares will be delivered to the Lender within ten Business Days following the end of the Rights Period.

 

(3) If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Shares of (a) shares of any class other than Shares (or other than securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares), or (b) rights, options or warrants (other than rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 4.4(2)), or (c) evidences of its indebtedness, or (d) assets (including cash) or property of the Borrower, or (e) cash dividends or distributions, then, in each such case, the Borrower shall give written notice to the Lender with respect thereto, and the Lender shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to elect to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Debenture into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Debenture. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Debenture, such conversion shall occur immediately prior to the record date for the making of such distribution. If the Lender elects not to convert any of the Principal Amount of this Debenture, there shall continue to be an adjustment to the Conversion Price as a result of the making of such distribution, (herein referred to as a "Special Distribution") determined in the manner hereafter set out.

 

 
12

 

   

The Conversion Price will be adjusted effective immediately after such record date to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:

 

 

(a)

the numerator of which is:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

the product of the number of Shares outstanding on such record date and the Market Price of the Shares on such record date; less

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

the aggregate fair market value (as determined by action by the directors of the Borrower, acting reasonably) to the holders of the Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and

 

 

 

 

 

(b)

the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Market Price of the Shares on such record date.

     

Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.4(3) shall occur.

 

(4) In the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Shares pursuant to a Change of Control, if the Lender elects not to redeem this Debenture in accordance with Section 3.1, the Lender may elect, prior to the effective date of such Change of Control, to convert all or any part of the Principal Amount of this Debenture into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Debenture. To exercise such right the Lender must provide a notice in writing to the Borrower no later than seven (7) days prior to the effective date of such Change of Control (provided the Borrower has provided the Lender 7 days prior written notice of such Change of Control), failing which the Lender’s right to convert this Debenture as a consequence of such Change of Control shall cease. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Debenture, such conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control. If the Lender elects not to convert any of the Principal Amount of this Debenture, the Conversion Price in effect after the effective date of such Change of Control shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to any decrease or increase in the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such Change of Control so that the Lender, upon exercising the Conversion Right after the effective date of such Change of Control, will be entitled to receive the aggregate number of Shares or other securities, if any, which the Lender would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Change of Control if, on the effective date thereof, the Lender had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which the Lender was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Conversion Right.

 

(5)If and whenever at any time after the date hereof there is a reclassification or redesignation of the Shares outstanding at any time or change of the Shares into other shares or into other securities (other than as set out in Section 4.4(1), (2), (3) or (4)), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Borrower with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or redesignation of the outstanding Shares or a change of the Shares into other shares and other than as set forth in Section 4.4(4)), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Borrower as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity (any of such events being called a "Capital Reorganization"), the Lender, upon the exercising the Conversion Right, after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, will be entitled to receive in lieu of the number of Shares to which the Lender was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property of the Borrower or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such Capital Reorganization, if any, which the Lender would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Lender had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which such Lender was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Conversion Right. If determined appropriate by action of the directors of the Borrower, acting reasonably and in good faith, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Lender to the end that the provisions set forth in thisSection 4.4 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Conversion Right. Any such adjustment must be made by and set forth in an amendment to this Debenture approved by action by the directors of the Borrower, acting reasonably and in good faith, and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

 

 
13

 

     

(6) If, in the opinion of the board of directors of the Borrower, acting reasonably and in good faith, the provisions of this Section 4.4 are not strictly applicable, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the Lender in accordance with the intent and purposes hereof, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the board of directors of the Borrower determines to be appropriate, acting reasonably and in good faith, on a basis consistent with the intent of this Section 4.4; provided that if at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in this Article 4, such dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Borrower or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action by the directors of the Borrower, acting reasonably and in good faith, and any such determination will be binding on the Borrower and the Lender. The Borrower will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Borrower.

 

(7) In any case in which this Section 4.4 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Borrower may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Lender before the occurrence of such event, the additional Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender an appropriate instrument evidencing the Lender’s right to receive such additional Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Shares declared in favour of holders of record of Shares on and after the Issue Date or such later date as the Lender would, but for the provisions of this Section 4.4(6), have become the holder of such additional Shares pursuant to Section 4.4(2).

 

(8) The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.4 are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other event resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 4.4(8) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

 

(9) No Conversion Price adjustment will be made to the extent that the Borrower makes an equivalent distribution to the Lender under Section 5.1(2) in respect of such Debenture. No adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made for distributions or dividends on Shares issuable upon conversion of the Debenture that have been surrendered for conversion, provided that the Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the applicable number of Shares, accrued and unpaid interest payable in cash from, and including, the most recent interest payment date to, but excluding, the date of conversion.

 

 
14

 

   

Section 4.5 No Requirement to Issue Fractional Shares

 

The Borrower shall not be required to issue fractional Shares upon the conversion of the Debenture pursuant to this Article 4. If any fractional interest in a Share, would, except for the provisions of this Section 4.5, be deliverable upon the conversion of any amount hereunder, the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share and in lieu of fractional Shares, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender within ten (10) Business Days after the Lender Conversion Date or the Borrower Conversion Date, as applicable, an amount in lawful money of the United States equal to the Conversion Price of the Shares on such date multiplied by an amount equal to the fractional interest of Shares such Lender would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such exercise or upon conversion, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to make any payment, calculated as aforesaid, that is less than $1.00.

 

Section 4.6 Borrower to Reserve Shares

 

The Borrower covenants with the Lender that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Shares, solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the Conversion Right, and conditionally allot to the Lender, such number of Shares as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture. The Borrower covenants with the Lender that all Shares which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued as fully paid and non- assessable. The Borrower covenants with the Lender to cause the Shares and the certificates, as applicable, representing the Shares, from time to time acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Conversion Right, to be duly issued and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

Section 4.7 Certificate as to Adjustment

 

The Borrower shall from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 4.4, deliver an officer’s certificate to the Lender specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Subject to the dispute resolution procedure inSection 4.4(5), such certificate shall be binding and determinative of the adjustment to be made, absent manifest error.

 

Section 4.7 Shareholder of Record

 

Except as also provided for herein, on the Issue Date or the applicable date specified in Section 4.2 the Lender or its nominee(s) shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Shares into which the Principal Amount of this Debenture (or a portion thereof) is converted in accordance with Section 4.2.

 

Section 4.8 Resale Restrictions, Legending and Disclosure

 

Borrower agrees to register the Shares issuable upon conversion hereof in such name(s) as the Lender may direct in writing. By its acceptance hereof the Lender acknowledges that this Debenture is, and the Shares issuable upon conversion hereof will be, subject to certain resale restrictions as set forth in the Subscription Agreement and under applicable securities laws, and the Lender agrees to comply with all such restrictions and laws. Upon issuance of the Shares pursuant to the conversion of this Debenture, the Lender shall be deemed to have reaffirmed its representations and warranties set forth in the Subscription Agreement. The Lender further acknowledges and agrees that all Share certificates will bear the Canadian and US legends substantially in the form set forth on the face page hereof as well as any legends required by the Exchange, provided that such Canadian legend shall not be required on Share certificates issued at any time following four months plus one day after the date hereof. The Lender acknowledges that the Borrower will be required to provide to the applicable securities regulatory authorities the identity of the Lender and its principals and the Lender hereby agrees thereto.

if the Borrower fails to observe, perform or comply with any material term, covenant, condition or obligation of the Borrower contained herein or is otherwise in default of any of the material provisions contained herein (other than a payment default referred in Section 7(1)(a)) and such default, if capable of being remedied, is not remedied within 60 days after the Borrower receives written notice of such default from the Lender, it being understood that the notice delivered by the Lender must specify in reasonable detail all defaults which the Lender asserts as the basis for the Event of Default;

 

 

 

 

(c)

if the Borrower shall generally fail to pay, or admit in writing its inability or unwillingness to pay, debts as they become due or if a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction is entered adjudging the Borrower a bankrupt or insolvent;

Section 7.2 Remedies Not Exclusive

 

No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy or remedies, and each and every right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. The Lender shall have the power to waive any Event of Default, provided such waiver is obtained in accordance with Section 9.5, and shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default. No delay or omission of the Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right, power and remedy given to the Lender by this Debenture or under Applicable Laws may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Lender. In case the Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Debenture and the proceedings for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Lender, then and in every such case, the Borrower and the Lender shall, without any further action hereunder, to the full extent permitted by Applicable Laws, subject to any determination in such proceedings, severally and respectively, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Lender shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

ARTICLE 9 – GENERAL

 

Section 9.1 Taxes, etc.

 

All payments made by the Borrower to the Lender under this Debenture shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, any withholding Taxes now or hereafter imposed by any official body in any jurisdiction. If any such withholding Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender hereunder, the Borrower shall:

 

 

(a)

within the time period for payment permitted by Applicable Laws, pay to the appropriate governmental body the full amount of such withholding Taxes and any additional Taxes in respect of the payment required under Section 9.1(b) and make such reports and filings in connection therewith in the manner required by Applicable Laws; and

 

 

 

 

(b)

pay to the Lender an additional amount which (after deduction of all withholding Taxes incurred by reason of the payment or receipt of such additional amount) will be sufficient to yield to the Lender the full amount which would have been received by it had no deduction or withholding been made.

     

Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt for (or other satisfactory evidence as to) the payment of each of the withholding Taxes (if any) payable in respect of such payment. If the Lender receives a refund of any withholding Taxes with respect to which the Borrower has paid any additional amount under thisSection 9.1, the Lender shall pay over such refund to the Borrower. Nothing herein is intended to require payment by the Borrower to or for the Lender in respect of any Taxes payable by the Lender in respect of Taxes on the Lenders’ own income, capital, capital gains, dividends, or other earnings realized pursuant to payments made pursuant to the terms of this Debenture.

Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by the Lender of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which the Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

This Debenture shall be non-transferable, except that this Debenture may be transferred to: (a) an Affiliate of the Lender; or (b) any other Person; provided that no proposed transfer to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Lender will be permitted without the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless the Borrower determines, in its sole discretion, that the proposed transferee is, or is reasonably expected to become, a competitor of the Borrower. Any proposed transfer shall not be valid unless otherwise made in accordance with Applicable Laws, including all applicable Canadian Securities Laws and United States securities laws. Subject to the preceding sentence, if the Lender intends to transfer this Debenture or any portion thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrower the transfer form attached to this Debenture as Schedule C, duly executed by the Lender. Upon compliance with the foregoing conditions and the surrender by the Lender of this Debenture, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the applicable transferee a new Debenture registered in the name of the transferee. If less than the full Principal Amount of this Debenture is transferred, the Lender shall be entitled to receive, in the same manner, a new Debenture registered in its name evidencing the portion of the Principal Amount of this Debenture not so transferred. Prior to registration of any transfer of this Debenture, the Lender and the applicable transferee shall be required to provide the Borrower with necessary information and documents, including certificates and statutory declarations, as may be required to be filed under Applicable Laws.
