CONVERSION OF DEBENTURE

 

2.1          Conversion and Conversion Price

 

(a)Upon and subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Article 2, and for no additional consideration:

 

(i)the Holder shall have the right, at its option at any time beginning on the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of the issuance of this Debenture, but prior to the earlier of the close of business on: (a) the business day prior to the Maturity Date; or (b) the business day prior to any Redemption Date or date of purchase of the Debenture (the “Time of Expiry”) to convert, in whole or in part, the Principal Amount into fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares, at the Conversion Price on the Date of Conversion; and

 

(b)The Conversion Price, wherever referenced in this Debenture, shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.5.

 

(c)The right of conversion set forth in Subsections 2.1(a)(i) shall extend only to the maximum number of whole Common Shares into which the Principal Amount may be converted in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 2.

 

(d)Fractional interests in Common Shares that would otherwise be issuable upon any conversion of the Principal Amount shall be adjusted in the manner provided in Section 2.6.

 

2.2          Manner of Exercise of Right to Convert

 

(a)If the Holder wishes to convert the Principal Amount into Common Shares pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a)(i), the Holder shall, prior to the Time of Expiry, send written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto, duly executed by the Holder or its legal representative or attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Debtor, exercising its right to convert the Principal Amount into Common Shares.

 

(b)For the purposes of Subsection 2.1(a)(i), the Holder shall be deemed to have converted the Principal Amount then outstanding into Common Shares on the date on which the notice contemplated by Subsection 2.2(a) above is actually received by the Debtor (the “Date of Conversion”).

 

 

A-4

 

2.3          Certificates

 

Within seven (7) business days of Date of Conversion pursuant to this Article 2, the Holder or, subject to the payment of all applicable security transfer taxes or other governmental charges by the Holder, its nominee(s) or assignee(s), shall be entered in the books of the Debtor (as of the Date of Conversion) as the holder of the number of Common Shares into which the Principal Amount is so converted and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the Debtor shall deliver to the Holder or, subject as aforesaid, its nominee(s), or assignee(s), a certificate or certificates for such Common Shares and, if applicable, a cheque for any amount payable under Section 2.6.

 

2.4          Interest and Dividends

 

Upon conversion pursuant to this Article 2, the Holder shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect thereof up to the Date of Conversion. Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Principal Amount by the Holder shall only be entitled to receive dividends declared in favour of shareholders of record on or after the Date of Conversion, from which date such Common Shares will for all purposes be and be deemed to be issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares.

 

2.5          Adjustment of Conversion Price

 

(a)If, and whenever at any time and from time to time the Debtor shall (i) subdivide, redivide or change its then outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (ii)   reduce, combine, consolidate or change its then outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, or (iii) issue Common Shares (or securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of its then outstanding Common Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend in the ordinary course paid in Common Shares or securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares) (any of such events being herein called a “Share Reorganization”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the effective date or record date for the Share Reorganization, by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by the quotient obtained when:

 

  (i) the number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to the Share Reorganization,

 

is divided by

 

(ii)the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the completion of such Share Reorganization (but before giving effect to the issue of any Common Shares issued after such record date otherwise than as part of such Share Reorganization) including, in the case where securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such record date.

 

 

A-5

 

(b)If, and whenever there is a capital reorganization of the Debtor not otherwise provided for in Subsection 2.5(a) or a consolidation, merger, arrangement or amalgamation (statutory or otherwise) of the Debtor with or into another body corporate (any such event being called a “Capital Reorganization”), and the Holder has not exercised its right of conversion prior to the effective date or record date for such Capital Reorganization, then the Holder shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon any conversion of the Principal Amount after the effective date or record date for such Capital Reorganization, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which it was theretofore entitled upon conversion, the aggregate number of Common Shares or other securities of the Debtor or of the corporation or body corporate resulting, surviving or continuing from the Capital Reorganization that the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date or record date thereof, it had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which it was theretofore entitled upon the conversion of the Principal Amount; provided that no such Capital Reorganization shall be carried into effect unless all necessary steps shall have been taken so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive such number of Common Shares or other securities of the Debtor or of the corporation or body corporate resulting, surviving or continuing from the Capital Reorganization. The foregoing provisions of this Subsection 2.5(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis in respect of any interest proposed to be paid through the issuance of Common Shares by the Debtor.

 

2.6          No Requirement to Issue Fractional Common Shares

 

The Debtor shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the conversion of the Principal Amount into Common Shares pursuant to this Article 2. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 2.6, be deliverable upon the conversion of the Principal Amount or the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest in Common Shares, the Debtor shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional interest, satisfy such fractional interest by either, at the Debtor’s option, (i) issuing to the Holder one full Common Share and delivering a certificate representing such Common Share to the Holder; or (ii) paying to the Holder an amount of lawful money of Canada equal to the Principal Amount remaining outstanding after so much of the Principal Amount as may be converted into a whole number of Common Shares has been so converted.

 

2.7          Cancellation of Converted Debenture

 

Upon conversion of the entire Principal Amount, if applicable, pursuant to this Article 2 and payment of all accrued and unpaid interest (whether in cash or Common Shares), this Debenture shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect.

 

2.8          Certificate as to Adjustment

 

The Debtor shall from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event that requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 2.5, deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Holder 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, provided, however, that in the event the Holder does not agree with the adjustment as set forth in the Officer's Certificate, the Debtor shall obtain the certificate or opinion as to the appropriate adjustment from the Auditors of the Debtor, which certificate or opinion shall be conclusive and binding on the Debtor and the Holder.

 

2.9          Notice of Special Matters

 

The Debtor covenants with the Holder that, so long as this Debenture remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Holder, in the manner provided in Section 10.4 of its intention to fix a record date or an effective date for any event referred to in Section 2.5 that may give rise to an adjustment in the Conversion Price, and, in each case, such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event; and, if prepared or available as at the date that such notice is required to be given pursuant to this Section 2.9, such notice shall be accompanied by the material (i.e. proxy circulars, information booklets etc.) sent to the holders of Common Shares in respect of the event in question, provided that the Debtor shall only be required to specify in such notice such particulars of such event as shall have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given. Such notice shall be given not less than seven (7) business days in each case prior to such applicable record date or effective date.

(e)In case the Holder shall fail on or before the Change of Control Purchase Date to surrender the Debenture or shall not within such time accept payment of the monies payable, or give such receipt therefor, if any, as the Debtor may require, such monies may be set aside in trust, without interest, and such setting aside shall for all purposes be deemed a payment to the Holder of the sum and the Holder shall have no other right except to receive payment of the monies so paid and deposited upon surrender and delivery the Holder's Debenture.
