The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company or to vote at any such meeting.

6. DEFINITIONS

In the rights, conditions, restrictions, limitations and prohibitions attaching to the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares:

(a) “Common Shares” means the Common Shares without par value of the Company and any shares resulting from any increase, subdivision, consolidation or re-classification thereof;

(b) “Basic Conversion Price” means [$0.01] per Common Share;

(c) “Current Conversion Price” means as at any particular time the Basic Conversion Price unless an adjusted conversion price is in effect under the provisions of paragraph 9 hereof in which case it means such adjusted conversion price;

(d) “Current Conversion Basis” means as at any particular time the result obtained (expressed to the nearest 1/1000th of a Common Share) by dividing the Current Conversion Price by [$0.01]; and

(e) “close of business” means the normal closing hours of the head office of the Company or of the office of any transfer agent for the Common Shares at which the conversion right is to be exercised, as the case may be.

7. CONVERSION PRIVILEGE

Any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares shall have the right, at his option, to convert, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, such Series A Convertible Preferred Shares into fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares at the then Current Conversion Basis; In addition, if the holder has not elected to redeem their Series A Convertible Preferred Shares by the Maturity Date, the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares shall be automatically converted into Common Shares. A sufficient number of Common Shares shall be reserved at all times for the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares.

8. MANNER OF EXERCISING CONVERSION PRIVILEGE

The conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares may only be effected by the surrender of the certificate(s) representing the same at any time during normal business hours at the option of the holder at the head office of the Company or at any office of any transfer agent of the Company at which the Common Shares or the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares are transferable accompanied by: (i) payment or evidence of payment of the tax (if any) payable as provided in paragraph 14 hereof; and (ii) a written instrument of surrender in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by the registered holder, or his attorney duly authorized in writing, in which instrument such holder may also elect to convert part only of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares represented by such certificate or certificates not theretofore called for redemption or redeemed, in which event the Company shall issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such holder, at the expense of the Company, a new certificate representing the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares represented by such certificate or certificates which have not been converted.


As promptly as practicable after the surrender, as herein provided, of any Series A Convertible Preferred Shares for conversion or upon the Mandatory Conversion Date for any Series A Convertible Preferred Shares still outstanding, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares so surrendered or subject to mandatory conversion, a certificate or certificates issued in the name of, or in such name or names as may be directed by such holder, representing the number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares to which such holder is entitled together with a scrip certificate or payment by cheque in respect of any fraction of a Common Share issuable on such conversion as provided in paragraph 13 hereof. Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph 8, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date and at the place where such Series A Convertible Preferred Shares have been surrendered for conversion or on the Mandatory Conversion Date as applicable, so that the rights of the holder of such Series A Convertible Preferred Shares as the holder thereof shall cease at such time and the person or persons entitled to receive Common Shares upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as having become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares at such time and such conversion shall be on the Current Conversion Basis as at such time; provided, however, that no such surrender on any date when the Company’s registers of transfers of Common Shares shall be properly closed shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive Common Shares upon such conversion as the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such Common Shares as the holder or holders of record thereof for all purposes at, and such conversion shall be at the Current Conversion Basis as at, the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such registers of transfers are properly open. For these purposes, the date of surrender of any Series A Convertible Preferred Share for conversion shall be deemed to be the date the certificate representing such Series A Convertible Preferred Share is received by the Company or by a transfer agent of the Company as provided in this paragraph 8.

9. CONVERSION BASIS AND PRICE

Initially and unless and until adjusted as provided in these conditions, the Current Conversion Basis shall be [one hundred (100)] Common Shares for each Series A Convertible Preferred Share and the Basic Conversion Price shall be [$0.01] per Common Share; provided that if and whenever there shall be a consolidation or subdivision of Common Shares so as to decrease or increase the number outstanding, such Basic Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased in the case of a consolidation or decreased in the case of a subdivision and such increased or decreased conversion price shall thereafter be the Basic Conversion Price for all purposes hereof until again increased or decreased pursuant the provisions of paragraph 10.

10. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE

The Current Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner following:

(a) If at a time hereafter, the outstanding Common Shares shall be subdivided, redivided or changed into a greater number or consolidated into a lesser number of Common Shares, or if the Common Shares are reclassified, upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, the holder shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of pre-capital reorganization Common Shares to be purchased by it, but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the aggregate number of shares of the appropriate classes that the holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares would have been entitled to receive as a result of such subdivision, redivision, change, consolidation or reclassification if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, it had been the registered holder of the pre-capital reorganization Common Shares to have been received on conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and the Current Conversion Price and the number of Common Shares shall be amended accordingly;


(b) If at any time hereafter while the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares are outstanding, there is a capital reorganization of Company not covered in paragraph 10(a) hereof or a consolidation or merger of the Company as or substantially as an entirety with or into any other corporation, the holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of pre-capital reorganization Common Shares it would have received on conversion, the number of Common Shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or to which such sale may be made, as the case may be, that the holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares would have been entitled to receive on such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, it had been the registered holder of the number of the pre-capital reorganization Common Shares it would have received on conversion and the Current Conversion Price shall be amended accordingly; and

(c) If and whenever the Basic Conversion Price is increased or decreased pursuant to paragraph 10 hereof, the then Current Conversion Price shall be adjusted proportionately, effective on the date of such increase or decrease.

11. RULES REGULATING CALCULATION OF ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE

For the purposes of paragraph 10 hereof:

(a) in case a state of fact occurs wherein, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the provisions of paragraph 10 hereof are not strictly applicable, or if strictly applicable, would not fairly protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares in accordance with intent and purposes hereof, then the Board of Directors of the Company may make an adjustment in the application of such provisions so as to protect only the conversion rights attaching to the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares; and

(b) notwithstanding anything herein contained, no adjustment of the Current Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one (1%) percent of the Current Conversion Price, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with all adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one (1%) percent of the Current Conversion Price.

12. EVIDENCE OF ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE

If and whenever any action is taken which requires an increase or decrease of the Basic Conversion Price pursuant to paragraph 10 hereof and an adjustment of the Current Conversion Price pursuant to paragraph 10 hereof, the Company shall forthwith file with all its transfer agents a certificate of the Company setting forth the details of the action taken and, as the case may be, the increased or decreased Basic Conversion Price, the details of the computation of the adjusted Current Conversion Price and the resulting Current Conversion Basis. No such transfer agent shall be under any duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to the statements contained in any such certificate or the manner in which any computation was made, but any such transfer agent may accept such certificate as evidence of the statements therein contained and shall be fully protected with respect to any and all acts done or actions taken or suffered by it in reliance thereon. The Company shall exhibit a copy of such certificate from time to time to any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares desiring to inspect same, and shall give notice of any such adjustment of the Current Conversion Price and the resulting adjustment of the Current Conversion Basis to the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares by posting the same in a postage paid envelope addressed to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares at the last address of such holder as it appears on the books of the Company or, in the event of the address of any holder not so appearing, then to the address of such holder last known to the Company. The Company may retain a firm of chartered accountants (who may be the auditors of the Company) to make any computation required under paragraph 10 hereof, and any computation so made shall be final and binding on the Company and all transfer agents and shareholders of the Company. Such firm of chartered accountants may, as to questions of law, request and rely upon an opinion of counsel (who may be the solicitor of the Company).


13. PAYMENT FOR FRACTIONAL SHARES

Upon the surrender of any Series A Convertible Preferred Shares for conversion, the number of full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of such Series A Convertible Preferred Shares to be converted. In any case where a fraction of a Common Share is involved the Company may, (i) adjust such fractional interest by payment by cheque of an amount equal to the then current market value of such fractional interest computed on the basis of the last sale price (or last bid price if there be no sales) for the Common Shares on any public market on which the Common Shares trade on the business day on which all such public markets were open next preceding the date of such surrender; or (ii) the Company may issue non-voting and non-dividend bearing scrip certificates for a fraction of a share in a form approved by the Board of Directors. Such scrip certificate may be consolidated into certificates for Additional Common Shares within such reasonable time as may be determined by the Board of Directors and if the aggregate number of Additional Common Shares represented by scrip certificates surrendered for consolidation is a number in excess if an even number of Additional Common Shares, the Company shall at the time of delivery of certificates for the number of full Additional Common Shares called for by the surrender of scrip certificates issue a new scrip certificate for an amount equal to such excess. (Such scrip certificates may contain provisions authorizing the sale by the Company after the expiration of such reasonable time as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the number of shares represented by such scrip certificates for the benefit of the holders of such scrip certificates.) All Additional Common Shares issued for the purpose of or with respect to any conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares into Common Shares or on the consolidation of scrip certificates and Common Shares so issued under the foregoing provisions shall be deemed to be fully paid and non-assessable.

14. TAXES ON CONVERSION

The issuance of certificates for Common Shares upon the conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares shall be made without charge to the converting holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares for any fee or charge in respect of the issuance of such certificates or the Common Shares represented thereby; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be imposed upon the person or persons to whom such Common Shares are issued in respect of the issuance of such Common Shares or the certificates therefor or which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name or names other than that of the holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

15. NOTICE OF CERTAIN ACTION

The Company shall give at lease twelve (12) days public notice of the record date for any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution on its Common Shares and prompt public notice of the issue to any of its shareholders of rights to subscribe for Common Shares or other securities and shall give at least thirty (30) days public notice before making any repayment of capital on its Common Shares. Any such public notice shall be sufficiently given if given in accordance with the regulations of any public markets from time to time in force and upon which the Common Shares of the Company trade with respect to required disclosure to the public by company.”
