        - 4 -

    

    6.4 Any conversions hereunder will have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal Amount in an amount equal to the applicable amount of the Principal Amount being converted.  The Company will maintain records showing all Principal Amount converted and the date of such conversions. The Holder, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledges and agrees that, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

    6.5 The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon any conversion of the Principal Amount will be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the amount of the Principal Amount to be converted and (y) is the Conversion Price.

    6.6 Not later than ten (10) Business Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares being issued, which certificates will bear such restrictive legends and trading restrictions as are required by applicable laws and by the Exchange.

    6.7 If the Company will at any time or from time to time, while any Principal Amount is still outstanding, effect a subdivision or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before a subdivision will be proportionately decreased, and, conversely, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before a consolidation will be proportionately increased.  Any adjustment under this Section 6.7 will become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or consolidation becomes effective.

    6.8 If the Company at any time or from time to time while this Debenture is outstanding, issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable solely in Common Shares, the Conversion Price that is then in effect will be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the sum of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Common Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefore, the Conversion Price will be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price will be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6.8 to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.

    6.9 If at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or combination of the Company with or into another entity, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or more transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to tender or exchange their Common Shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than a subdivision, consolidation or dividend provided for elsewhere in this Article 6) (in any such case, a "Fundamental Change"), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder will have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Change, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Change if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Change, the holder of one Common Share (the "Alternate Consideration").  If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Change, then the Holder will be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Change.  In the event of a Fundamental Change, the Company or the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, will execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that:

    

    
        - 5 -

    

    (a) this Debenture will thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate Consideration; and

    (b) in the case of any such successor or purchasing entity, upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, such successor or purchasing entity will be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company's obligations under this Debenture and the Subscription Agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of this Debenture.

    6.10 If, in the case of any Fundamental Change, the Alternate Consideration includes shares, other securities, other property or assets of an entity other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, then such written agreement will also be executed by such other entity and will contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the board of directors of the Company will reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.  At the Holder's request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Change will issue to the Holder a new Debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to receive Alternate Consideration upon conversion of this Debenture. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Change is effected will include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Article 6 and insuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Change.

    6.11 Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company will not be required to issue share certificates representing fractions of Conversion Shares, and the Company will be entitled to round the number of Conversion Shares down to the nearest whole number. The Holder agrees to waive any rights or entitlements to fractional Conversion Shares that the Holder may have in connection with a conversion hereunder.

    6.12 In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price for the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, the Company, at its own expense, will cause its Secretary or other officer as directed by the board of directors of the Company to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and will deliver such certificate to the Holder in accordance with Section 8.1. The certificate will set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  No adjustment in the Conversion Price will be required to be made unless it would result in an increase or decrease of at least one cent, but any adjustments not made because of this sentence will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment otherwise required hereunder.

    

    
        - 6 -

    

    7. Events of Default

    7.1 The occurrence of any of the following will constitute an "Event of Default" under this Debenture:

    (a) the Company failing to pay any Principal Amount or interest payment hereof on the due date hereunder and such failure continuing for ten (10) days after written notice thereof is delivered to the Company;

    (b) the Company failing to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in this Debenture or the Subscription Agreement which failure is not cured, if possible to cure, within thirty (30) calendar days after notice of such default is sent by the Holder to the Company;

    (c) the Company (i) applying for or consenting to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) being unable, or admitting in writing its inability, to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) making a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iv) being dissolved or liquidated in full or in part (v) commencing a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consenting to any such relief, or to the appointment of, or taking possession of its property by, any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (vi) taking any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; and

    (d) proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company or of all or a substantial part of the property thereof, or an involuntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or the debts thereof under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect being commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding is not dismissed or discharged within thirty (30) days of commencement.

    7.2 Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default and following the expiry of any applicable grace periods and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Holder may, by written notice to the Company, declare all outstanding amounts payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Section 6.1(c) hereof, immediately and without notice, all outstanding amounts payable by the Company hereunder will automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the Holder may exercise any other right, power or remedy permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.

    8. Notices

    8.1 Any notice required or permitted to be given to the Company or the Holder will be in writing and may be given by prepaid registered post, electronic facsimile transmission or other means of electronic communication capable of producing a printed copy to the address of the party set forth below or such other address as such party may specify by notice in writing to the other party, and any such notice will be deemed to have been given and received by the party to whom it was addressed if mailed, on the third day following the mailing thereof, if by facsimile or other electronic communication, on the date sent, or, if delivered, on delivery; but if at the time of mailing or between the time of mailing and the third Business Day thereafter there is a strike, lockout, or other labour disturbance affecting postal service, then the notice will not be effectively given until actually delivered:
