ARTICLE 4

CONVERSION

4.1 Conversion Right

The Holder has the right (the “Conversion Right”), from time to time and at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the earlier of the Business Day immediately preceding (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date fixed for redemption of this Note in accordance with terms hereof, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount plus, at the Holder’s option, all accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal Amount and any unpaid fees, into Shares, at a price equal to $0.83 per Share (the “Conversion Price”). For purposes of this Note, if the Conversion Right is exercised on or prior to October 31, 2019, then “Shares” means Class A shares in the capital of the Company, and if the Conversion Right is exercised after October 31, 2019, then “Shares” means common shares in the capital of the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Conversion Right shall not be exercisable by the Holder or any person who does not deal at arm’s length with the Holder for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (collectively, “Holder Related Parties”) to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder Related Parties would beneficially own or have a right to acquire shares of the Company that, in aggregate, represent: (i) 25% or more of the votes that could be cast at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company; or (ii) 25% or more of the fair market value of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at such time.

4.2 Exercise of Conversion Right

The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Lender by completing and signing the notice of conversion (the “Conversion Notice”) and delivering the Conversion Notice and this Note to the Borrower. The Conversion Notice shall provide that the Conversion Right is being exercised, shall specify the amount being converted, and shall set out the date (the “Issue Date”) on which Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of the Conversion Right (such date to be no earlier than three (3) Business Days and no later than seven (7) Business Days after the day on which the Conversion Notice is issued). The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Issue Date and the Shares issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to be issued as fully paid and non-assessable at such time. Within seven (7) Business Days after the Issue Date, a certificate for the required number of Common Shares shall be issued to the Lender. If less than all of the Principal Amount of this Note is the subject of the Conversion Right, then within seven (7) Business Days after the Issue Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender a replacement Note in the form hereof in the principal amount of the unconverted principal balance hereof, plus the unconverted portion of any accrued and unpaid Interest and fees, and this Note shall be cancelled. If the Conversion Right is being exercised in respect of the entire Principal Amount of this Note (and, if applicable, all accrued and unpaid Interest and fees), this Note shall be cancelled.

4.3 Adjustment of Conversion Price

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

 

  (a)

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

 

  (i)

subdivide or redivide the outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares;

 

  (ii)

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

 

  (iii)

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

 

  (iv)

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

the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, 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 in Sections 4.3(a)(i), (iii) and (iv) above, be decreased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision 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 4.3(a)(ii) 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. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.3(a) 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 Sections 4.3(b) and (g); 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.

 

  (b)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company 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 date of issue (such period from the record date to the date of expiry being referred to in this Section 4.3(b) as the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) (such subscription price per Common 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 4.3(b) as the “Per Share Cost”), the Borrowers 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 Note into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Note. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note, 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 Note, 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:

 

5


  (i)

the numerator of which is the aggregate of:

 

  (A)

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

 

  (B)

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

 

  1.

where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.3(b) 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

 

  2.

where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.3(b) 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 trading price of the Shares on the OTCQX Market (or such other recognized stock exchange or quotation on which the Shares are listed for trading) (the “Current Market Price”) as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

  (ii)

the denominator of which is:

 

  (A)

in the case described in subparagraph 4.3(b)(i)(B)(1), the number of Shares outstanding, or

 

  (B)

in the case described in subparagraph 4.3(b)(i)(B)(2), the number of Shares that would be outstanding if all the Shares described in subparagraph 4.3(b)(i)(B)(2) had been issued,

as at the end of the Rights Period.

 

6


  (c)

Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

  (d)

If by the terms of the rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 4.3(b), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered, will be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of:

(1) the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if such price is applicable to all Shares which are subject to the rights, options or warrants, and

(2) the average purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if the applicable price is determined by reference to the number of Shares acquired.

 

  (e)

To the extent that any adjustment in the Conversion Price occurs pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 4.3(b), 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 and remaining issuable after such expiration, and will be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.

 

  (f)

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 this Section 4.3(b), 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 4.3(b); provided that no fractional Shares will be issued. 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 10 Business Days following the end of the Rights Period.

 

  (g)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Shares (or other than securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares), or (ii) rights, options or warrants (other than rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 4.3(b)), or (iii) evidences of its indebtedness, or (iv) assets (in each case, other than dividends paid in the ordinary course) then, in each such case, the Borrowers 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 Note into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Note. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note, 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 Note, 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 in 4.3(h). In this Section 4.3(g) the term “dividends paid in the ordinary course” shall include the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of cash dividends paid in the ordinary course at the option of shareholders.

 

7


  (h)

In circumstances described in Section 4.3(g), 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:

 

  (1)

the numerator of which is:

(A) the product of the number of Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Shares on such record date; less

(B) the aggregate fair market value (as determined by action by the directors of the Company, 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

 

  (2)

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

Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

  (i)

In the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Shares pursuant to a Change of Control Transaction, if the Lender elects not to redeem this Note in accordance with Article 5, the Lender may elect, prior to the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction, to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Note. To exercise such right the Lender must provide a notice in writing to the Borrowers no later than seven days prior to the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction, failing which the Lender’s right to convert this Note as a consequence of such Change of Control Transaction shall cease. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note, such conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction. If the Lender elects not to convert any of the Principal Amount of this Note, the Conversion Price in effect after the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction 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 Transaction so that the Lender, upon exercising the Conversion Right after the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction, 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 Transaction 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.

 

8


  (j)

In the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Shares (other than a change referred to in Section 4.3(a), Section 4.3(b), Section 4.3(g) or 4.3(i) hereof), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors of the Company determines to be appropriate on a basis consistent with the intent of this Section 4.3; provided that if at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in this Section 4.3(j), such dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Borrowers 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 Company, acting reasonably, and any such determination will be binding on the Borrowers and the Lender. The Borrowers will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Borrowers. 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 4.3(a), (b), (g) or (i)), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company 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 5.3(a)(i) or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company 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, 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 Company, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Lender to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4.3 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 Note approved by action by the directors of the Company, acting reasonably, and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

 

9


  (k)

In any case in which this Section 4.3 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Company 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 Borrowers 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 4.3(k), have become the holder of such additional Shares pursuant to Section 4.3(b).

 

  (l)

The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.3 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 4.3(l) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

No Conversion Price adjustment will be made to the extent that the Company makes an equivalent distribution to holders of Notes in respect of such Notes. No adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made for distributions or dividends on Shares issuable upon conversion of Notes that have been surrendered for conversion, provided that holders converting their Notes 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.

ARTICLE 5

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

5.1 No Early Redemption or Prepayment

Except pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 5.4, the Borrowers shall not be permitted to redeem or repay the Note prior to the Maturity Date without the prior written consent of the Lender.

5.2 Notice of Change of Control Transaction

Upon the occurrence of any event constituting or reasonably likely to constitute a Change of Control Transaction, the Borrowers shall give written notice to the Lender of such Change of Control Transaction at least thirty (30) days or, with the prior written consent of the Lender, as soon as reasonably possible prior to the effective date of any such Change of Control Transaction and another written notice on or immediately after the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction (the “Change of Control Notice”).

 

10


5.3 Redemption if Change of Control Transaction

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon receipt of a Change of Control Notice with respect to a Change of Control Transaction, the Holder shall, in its sole discretion on or before the closing of the Change of Control Transaction, have the right to require the Borrowers purchase the Note at a price equal to 105% of the then outstanding Principal Amount thereof together, at Holder’s option, with accrued and unpaid Interest and fees (the “Offer Price”); provided that, if 90% or more of the Principal Amount outstanding on the date of the Change of Control Notice have been tendered for redemption, the Company will have the right, in its sole discretion, to redeem all of the outstanding Notes at the Offer Price.

5.4 Voluntary Prepayment

Subject to the rest of this Section 5.4, beginning on the first day of Year 2, from time to time the Borrowers shall have the right to repay, in whole or in part, the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note together with accrued and unpaid Interest and fees, plus the Applicable Premium. For purposes of this Note, “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to Year 2, 2% of the Principal Amount being repaid, and with respect to Year 3, 1% of the Principal Amount being repaid. The Borrowers shall notify the Lender in writing of their intent to make prepayment under this Section 5.4 at least thirty (30) days (or such shorter time as is acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed prepayment date, and such notice shall include the Principal Amount, interest, fees and Applicable Premium to be paid on such prepayment date. Such prepayment will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Lender.

ORAL AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT, OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON.

ARTICLE 4

CONVERSION

4.1 Conversion Right

The Holder has the right (the “Conversion Right”), from time to time and at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the earlier of the Business Day immediately preceding (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date fixed for redemption of this Note in accordance with terms hereof, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount plus, at the Holder’s option, all accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal Amount and any unpaid fees, into Shares, at a price equal to $0.83 per Share (the “Conversion Price”). For purposes of this Note, if the Conversion Right is exercised on or prior to October 31, 2019, then “Shares” means Class A shares in the capital of the Company, and if the Conversion Right is exercised after October 31, 2019, then “Shares” means common shares in the capital of the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Conversion Right shall not be exercisable by the Holder or any person who does not deal at arm’s length with the Holder for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (collectively, “Holder Related Parties”) to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder Related Parties would beneficially own or have a right to acquire shares of the Company that, in aggregate, represent: (i) 25% or more of the votes that could be cast at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company; or (ii) 25% or more of the fair market value of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at such time.

4.2 Exercise of Conversion Right

The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Lender by completing and signing the notice of conversion (the “Conversion Notice”) and delivering the Conversion Notice and this Note to the Borrower. The Conversion Notice shall provide that the Conversion Right is being exercised, shall specify the amount being converted, and shall set out the date (the “Issue Date”) on which Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of the Conversion Right (such date to be no earlier than three (3) Business Days and no later than seven (7) Business Days after the day on which the Conversion Notice is issued). The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Issue Date and the Shares issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to be issued as fully paid and non-assessable at such time. Within seven (7) Business Days after the Issue Date, a certificate for the required number of Common Shares shall be issued to the Lender. If less than all of the Principal Amount of this Note is the subject of the Conversion Right, then within seven (7) Business Days after the Issue Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender a replacement Note in the form hereof in the principal amount of the unconverted principal balance hereof, plus the unconverted portion of any accrued and unpaid Interest and fees, and this Note shall be cancelled. If the Conversion Right is being exercised in respect of the entire Principal Amount of this Note (and, if applicable, all accrued and unpaid Interest and fees), this Note shall be cancelled.

 

4


4.3 Adjustment of Conversion Price

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

 

  (a)

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

 

  (i)

subdivide or redivide the outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares;

 

  (ii)

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

 

  (iii)

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

 

  (iv)

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

the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, 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 in Sections 4.3(a)(i), (iii) and (iv) above, be decreased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision 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 4.3(a)(ii) 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. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.3(a) 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 Sections 4.3(b) and (g); 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.

 

5


  (b)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company 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 date of issue (such period from the record date to the date of expiry being referred to in this Section 4.3(b) as the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) (such subscription price per Common 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 4.3(b) as the “Per Share Cost”), the Borrowers 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 Note into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Note. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note, 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 Note, 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:

 

  (i)

the numerator of which is the aggregate of:

 

  (A)

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

 

  (B)

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

 

  1.

where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.3(b) 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

 

  2.

where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.3(b) 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 trading price of the Shares on the OTCQX Market (or such other recognized stock exchange or quotation on which the Shares are listed for trading) (the “Current Market Price”) as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

  (ii)

the denominator of which is:

 

  (A)

in the case described in subparagraph 4.3(b)(i)(B)(1), the number of Shares outstanding, or

 

  (B)

in the case described in subparagraph 4.3(b)(i)(B)(2), the number of Shares that would be outstanding if all the Shares described in subparagraph 4.3(b)(i)(B)(2) had been issued,

as at the end of the Rights Period.

 

6


  (c)

Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

  (d)

If by the terms of the rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 4.3(b), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered, will be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of:

(1) the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if such price is applicable to all Shares which are subject to the rights, options or warrants, and

(2) the average purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if the applicable price is determined by reference to the number of Shares acquired.

 

  (e)

To the extent that any adjustment in the Conversion Price occurs pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 4.3(b), 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 and remaining issuable after such expiration, and will be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.

 

  (f)

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 this Section 4.3(b), 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 4.3(b); provided that no fractional Shares will be issued. 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 10 Business Days following the end of the Rights Period.

 

  (g)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Shares (or other than securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares), or (ii) rights, options or warrants (other than rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 4.3(b)), or (iii) evidences of its indebtedness, or (iv) assets (in each case, other than dividends paid in the ordinary course) then, in each such case, the Borrowers 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 Note into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Note. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note, 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 Note, 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 in 4.3(h). In this Section 4.3(g) the term “dividends paid in the ordinary course” shall include the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of cash dividends paid in the ordinary course at the option of shareholders.

 

7


  (h)

In circumstances described in Section 4.3(g), 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:

(1) the numerator of which is:

(A) the product of the number of Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Shares on such record date; less

(B) the aggregate fair market value (as determined by action by the directors of the Company, 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

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

Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

  (i)

In the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Shares pursuant to a Change of Control Transaction, if the Lender elects not to redeem this Note in accordance with Article 5, the Lender may elect, prior to the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction, to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Note. To exercise such right the Lender must provide a notice in writing to the Borrowers no later than seven days prior to the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction, failing which the Lender’s right to convert this Note as a consequence of such Change of Control Transaction shall cease. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note, such conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction. If the Lender elects not to convert any of the Principal Amount of this Note, the Conversion Price in effect after the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction 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 Transaction so that the Lender, upon exercising the Conversion Right after the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction, 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 Transaction 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.

In the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Shares (other than a change referred to in Section 4.3(a), Section 4.3(b), Section 4.3(g) or 4.3(i) hereof), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors of the Company determines to be appropriate on a basis consistent with the intent of this Section 4.3; provided that if at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in this Section 4.3(j), such dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Borrowers 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 Company, acting reasonably, and any such determination will be binding on the Borrowers and the Lender. The Borrowers will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Borrowers. 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 4.3(a), (b), (g) or (i)), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company 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 5.3(a)(i) or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company 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, 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 Company, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Lender to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4.3 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 Note approved by action by the directors of the Company, acting reasonably, and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

  (k)

In any case in which this Section 4.3 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Company 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 Borrowers 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 4.3(k), have become the holder of such additional Shares pursuant to Section 4.3(b).

 

  (l)

The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.3 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 4.3(l) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

No Conversion Price adjustment will be made to the extent that the Company makes an equivalent distribution to holders of Notes in respect of such Notes. No adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made for distributions or dividends on Shares issuable upon conversion of Notes that have been surrendered for conversion, provided that holders converting their Notes 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.

ARTICLE 4

CONVERSION

4.1 Conversion Right

The Holder has the right (the “Conversion Right”), from time to time and at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the earlier of the Business Day immediately preceding (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date fixed for redemption of this Note in accordance with terms hereof, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount plus, at the Holder’s option, all accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal Amount and any unpaid fees, into Shares, at a price equal to $0.83 per Share (the “Conversion Price”). For purposes of this Note, if the Conversion Right is exercised on or prior to October 31, 2019, then “Shares” means Class A shares in the capital of the Company, and if the Conversion Right is exercised after October 31, 2019, then “Shares” means common shares in the capital of the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Conversion Right shall not be exercisable by the Holder or any person who does not deal at arm’s length with the Holder for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (collectively, “Holder Related Parties”) to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder Related Parties would beneficially own or have a right to acquire shares of the Company that, in aggregate, represent: (i) 25% or more of the votes that could be cast at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company; or (ii) 25% or more of the fair market value of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at such time.

4.2 Exercise of Conversion Right

The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Lender by completing and signing the notice of conversion (the “Conversion Notice”) and delivering the Conversion Notice and this Note to the Borrower. The Conversion Notice shall provide that the Conversion Right is being exercised, shall specify the amount being converted, and shall set out the date (the “Issue Date”) on which Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of the Conversion Right (such date to be no earlier than three (3) Business Days and no later than seven (7) Business Days after the day on which the Conversion Notice is issued). The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Issue Date and the Shares issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to be issued as fully paid and non-assessable at such time. Within seven (7) Business Days after the Issue Date, a certificate for the required number of Common Shares shall be issued to the Lender. If less than all of the Principal Amount of this Note is the subject of the Conversion Right, then within seven (7) Business Days after the Issue Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender a replacement Note in the form hereof in the principal amount of the unconverted principal balance hereof, plus the unconverted portion of any accrued and unpaid Interest and fees, and this Note shall be cancelled. If the Conversion Right is being exercised in respect of the entire Principal Amount of this Note (and, if applicable, all accrued and unpaid Interest and fees), this Note shall be cancelled.

4.3 Adjustment of Conversion Price

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

 

  (a)

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

 

  (i)

subdivide or redivide the outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares;

 

4


  (ii)

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

 

  (iii)

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

 

  (iv)

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

the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, 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 in Sections 4.3(a)(i), (iii) and (iv) above, be decreased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision 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 4.3(a)(ii) 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. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.3(a) 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 Sections 4.3(b) and (g); 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.

 

  (b)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company 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 date of issue (such period from the record date to the date of expiry being referred to in this Section 4.3(b) as the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) (such subscription price per Common 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 4.3(b) as the “Per Share Cost”), the Borrowers 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 Note into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Note. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note, 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 Note, 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:

 

5


  (i)

the numerator of which is the aggregate of:

 

  (A)

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

 

  (B)

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

 

  1.

where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.3(b) 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

 

  2.

where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.3(b) 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 trading price of the Shares on the OTCQX Market (or such other recognized stock exchange or quotation on which the Shares are listed for trading) (the “Current Market Price”) as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

  (ii)

the denominator of which is:

 

  (A)

in the case described in subparagraph 4.3(b)(i)(B)(1), the number of Shares outstanding, or

 

  (B)

in the case described in subparagraph 4.3(b)(i)(B)(2), the number of Shares that would be outstanding if all the Shares described in subparagraph 4.3(b)(i)(B)(2) had been issued,

as at the end of the Rights Period.

 

6


  (c)

Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

  (d)

If by the terms of the rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 4.3(b), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered, will be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of:

(1) the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if such price is applicable to all Shares which are subject to the rights, options or warrants, and

(2) the average purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if the applicable price is determined by reference to the number of Shares acquired.

 

  (e)

To the extent that any adjustment in the Conversion Price occurs pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 4.3(b), 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 and remaining issuable after such expiration, and will be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.

 

  (f)

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 this Section 4.3(b), 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 4.3(b); provided that no fractional Shares will be issued. 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 10 Business Days following the end of the Rights Period.

 

  (g)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Shares (or other than securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares), or (ii) rights, options or warrants (other than rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 4.3(b)), or (iii) evidences of its indebtedness, or (iv) assets (in each case, other than dividends paid in the ordinary course) then, in each such case, the Borrowers 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 Note into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Note. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note, 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 Note, 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 in 4.3(h). In this Section 4.3(g) the term “dividends paid in the ordinary course” shall include the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of cash dividends paid in the ordinary course at the option of shareholders.

 

7


  (h)

In circumstances described in Section 4.3(g), 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:

 

  (1)

the numerator of which is:

(A) the product of the number of Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Shares on such record date; less

(B) the aggregate fair market value (as determined by action by the directors of the Company, 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

 

  (2)

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

Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

  (i)

In the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Shares pursuant to a Change of Control Transaction, if the Lender elects not to redeem this Note in accordance with Article 5, the Lender may elect, prior to the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction, to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Note. To exercise such right the Lender must provide a notice in writing to the Borrowers no later than seven days prior to the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction, failing which the Lender’s right to convert this Note as a consequence of such Change of Control Transaction shall cease. If the Lender elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note, such conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction. If the Lender elects not to convert any of the Principal Amount of this Note, the Conversion Price in effect after the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction 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 Transaction so that the Lender, upon exercising the Conversion Right after the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction, 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 Transaction 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.

 

8


  (j)

In the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Shares (other than a change referred to in Section 4.3(a), Section 4.3(b), Section 4.3(g) or 4.3(i) hereof), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors of the Company determines to be appropriate on a basis consistent with the intent of this Section 4.3; provided that if at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in this Section 4.3(j), such dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Borrowers 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 Company, acting reasonably, and any such determination will be binding on the Borrowers and the Lender. The Borrowers will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Borrowers. 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 4.3(a), (b), (g) or (i)), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company 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 5.3(a)(i) or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company 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, 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 Company, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Lender to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4.3 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 Note approved by action by the directors of the Company, acting reasonably, and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

 

9


  (k)

In any case in which this Section 4.3 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Company 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 Borrowers 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 4.3(k), have become the holder of such additional Shares pursuant to Section 4.3(b).

 

  (l)

The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.3 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 4.3(l) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

No Conversion Price adjustment will be made to the extent that the Company makes an equivalent distribution to holders of Notes in respect of such Notes. No adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made for distributions or dividends on Shares issuable upon conversion of Notes that have been surrendered for conversion, provided that holders converting their Notes 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.

ARTICLE 5

5.4 Voluntary Prepayment

Subject to the rest of this Section 5.4, beginning on the first day of Year 2, from time to time the Borrowers shall have the right to repay, in whole or in part, the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note together with accrued and unpaid Interest and fees, plus the Applicable Premium. For purposes of this Note, “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to Year 2, 2% of the Principal Amount being repaid, and with respect to Year 3, 1% of the Principal Amount being repaid. The Borrowers shall notify the Lender in writing of their intent to make prepayment under this Section 5.4 at least thirty (30) days (or such shorter time as is acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed prepayment date, and such notice shall include the Principal Amount, interest, fees and Applicable Premium to be paid on such prepayment date. Such prepayment will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Lender.
