or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or
permitted by this Indenture, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced
thereon such legend or legends or endorsements, not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to comply with any law or with
any rules or regulations pursuant thereto or with any rules or regulations of
any securities exchange or securities regulatory authority or to conform to
general usage, all as may be determined by the directors or officers of the
Corporation executing such Debentures on behalf of the Corporation, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Debentures. 

2.4    Form and Terms of Initial
  Debentures

	 	(a) 	
      The first series of Debentures (the “Initial
      Debentures”) authorized for issue immediately is limited to an
      aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 (before giving effect to the
      Over-Allotment Option) at an issue price of $1,000 per Debenture (the
      “Issue Price”) and shall be designated as “10% Convertible Secured
      Debentures”, which consists of the Debentures offered in the Offering. The
      Corporation has granted the underwriter of the Offering an option,
      exercisable at the Issue Price at any time until 30 days following the
      Closing of the Offering, to purchase up to 15% of the principal amount of
      the Initial Debentures on the same terms and conditions as the Offering
      for the purposes of covering over-allotments, if any (the
      “Over-Allotment Option”). In the event the Over-Allotment Option is
      exercised in full, the Initial Debentures authorized for issue immediately
      shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of
$11,500,000.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      The Initial Debentures shall be dated as of the date of
      issue of the Initial Debentures and shall mature on September 30, 2017
      (the “Maturity Date” for the Initial Debentures).

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      The Initial Debentures shall bear interest from the date
      of issue at the rate of 10% per annum (based on a year of 365 days and the
      actual number of days in the relevant interest period), payable in arrears
      in equal (with the exception of the first interest payment, which will
      include interest from and including the date of issue of the Initial
      Debentures as set forth below) semi-annual payments in arrears on March 31
      and September 30 in each year, the first such payment to fall due on March
      31, 2013 and the last such payment (representing interest payable from
      the last Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the
      Maturity Date of the Initial Debentures) to fall due on September 30,
      2017, payable after as well as before maturity and after as well as before
      default, with interest on amounts in default at the same rate, compounded
      semi-annually. For certainty, the first interest payment will include
      interest accrued from and including the date of issue of the Initial
      Debentures to, but excluding, March 31, 2013. Any payment required to be
      made on any day that is not a Business Day will be made on the next
      succeeding Business Day. The record dates for the payment of interest on
      the Initial Debentures will be the fifth Business Day prior to the
  applicable Interest Payment Date.

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 16 - 

	 	(d) 	
      The Initial Debentures will be redeemable in accordance
      with the terms of Article 4, provided that the Initial Debentures will not
      be redeemable before September 30, 2015, except in the event of the
      satisfaction of certain conditions after a Change of Control has occurred
      as outlined herein. On and after September 30, 2015 and at any time prior
      to the Maturity Date of the Initial Debentures, provided that the Current
      Market Price at the time of the Redemption Notice is not less than 125% of
      the Conversion Price, the Initial Debentures may be redeemed at the option
      of the Corporation in whole or in part from time to time on notice as
      provided for in Section 4.3 at a Redemption Price equal to their principal
      amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to (but excluding) the
      Redemption Date. The Redemption Notice for the Initial Debentures shall be
      substantially in the form of Schedule “B”. The Redemption Price, including
      any accrued and unpaid interest on such Initial Debentures to be redeemed,
      will be paid in cash.

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      The Guarantee Liabilities will rank in priority to any
      other obligations of NAT US to the extent the Guarantee Liabilities are
      secured by the Security Interest constituted by the Security Documents and
      otherwise will be subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness of NAT US in
      accordance with the provisions of Article 5. In accordance with Section
      2.11, and except to the extent the Guarantee Liabilities are secured by
      the Security Interest, the Initial Debentures will rank pari passu with
      each other series of Debentures issued under this Indenture or under
      indentures supplemental to this Indenture (regardless of their actual date
      or terms of issue) and, except as prescribed by law, with all other
      existing and future unsecured indebtedness of the Corporation other than
      Senior Indebtedness.

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      Upon and subject to the provisions and conditions of
      Article 6 and Section 3.7, the holder of each Initial Debenture shall have
      the right at such holder’s option, at any time prior to the close of
      business on the earlier of: (i) the Maturity Date of the Initial
      Debentures; and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption
      Date if the Initial Debentures are called for redemption by notice to the
      holders of Initial Debentures in accordance with Sections 2.4(d) and 4.3
      (the earlier of which will be the “Time of Expiry” for the purposes
      of Article 6 in respect of the Initial Debentures), to convert any part,
      being $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of the principal amount of a
      Debenture into Common Shares at the Conversion Price in effect on the Date
      of Conversion. To the extent a redemption is a redemption in part only of
      the Initial Debentures, such right to convert, if not exercised prior to the applicable Time of
      Expiry, shall survive as to any Initial Debentures not redeemed or
      converted and be applicable to the next succeeding Time of
  Expiry.

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 17 - 

	 		
      The Conversion Price in effect on the date hereof for
      each Common Share to be issued upon the conversion of Initial Debentures
      shall be equal to $2.90 such that approximately 344.8276 Common Shares
      shall be issued for each $1,000 principal amount of Initial Debentures so
      converted. Except as provided below, no adjustment in the number of Common
      Shares to be issued upon conversion will be made for dividends or
      distributions on Common Shares issuable upon conversion, the record date
      for the payment of which precedes the date upon which the holder becomes a
      holder of Common Shares in accordance with Article 6, or for interest
      accrued on Initial Debentures surrendered. No fractional Common Shares
      will be issued, and holders will receive a cash payment in satisfaction of
      any fractional interest based on the Current Market Price as of the Date
      of Conversion, provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be
      required to make any payment of less than $5.00. The Conversion Price
      applicable to, and the Common Shares, securities or other property
      receivable on the conversion of, the Initial Debentures is subject to
      adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.5.

	 	 	 
	 		
      Holders converting Debentures shall receive accrued and
      unpaid interest thereon from the period of the last Interest Payment Date
      prior to the Date of Conversion to the date that is one Business Day prior
      to the Date of Conversion.

	 	 	 
	 		
      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture,
      if a Debenture is surrendered for conversion on an Interest Payment Date
      or during the five preceding Business Days, the person or persons entitled
      to receive Common Shares in respect of the Debenture so surrendered for
      conversion shall not become the holder or holders of record of such Common
      Shares until the Business Day following such Interest Payment
  Date.

	 	 	 
	 		
      A Debenture in respect of which a holder has accepted a
      notice in respect of a Change of Control Purchase Offer pursuant to the
      provisions of Section 2.4(h) may be surrendered for conversion only if
      such notice is withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture.

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      The Initial Debentures shall be issued in denominations
      of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. Each Initial Debenture and the
      certificate of the Trustee endorsed thereon shall be issued in
      substantially the form set out in Schedule “A” (provided that Initial
      Debentures issued in the form of Definitive Debentures shall be issued
      without the Global Debenture Legend), with such insertions, omissions,
      substitutions or other variations as shall be required or permitted by
      this Indenture, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon
      such legend or legends or endorsements, not inconsistent with the
      provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to comply with any law or
      with any rules or regulations pursuant thereto or with any rules or
      regulations of any securities exchange or securities regulatory authority
      or to conform with general usage, all as may
be determined by the Board of Directors executing such
      Initial Debenture in accordance with Section 2.7, as conclusively
      evidenced by their execution of an Initial Debenture. Each Initial
      Debenture shall additionally bear such distinguishing letters and numbers
      as the Trustee shall approve. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Initial
      Debenture may be in such other form or forms as may, from time to time, be
      approved by a resolution of the Board of Directors, or as specified in an
  Officers’ Certificate.

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 18 - 

	 		
      The Initial Debentures may be engraved, lithographed,
      printed, mimeographed or typewritten or partly in one form and partly in
      another.

	 	 	 	 
	 		
      The Initial Debentures shall be issued in the form of one
      or more Global Debentures and/or one or more Definitive Debentures at the
      option of the Corporation; provided however that any Initial Debentures
      that are required to bear the U.S. Legend shall be issued in the form of
      one or more Definitive Debentures and may not be issued in the form of one
      or more Global Debentures.

	 	 	 	 
	 		
      The Global Debentures will be registered in the name of
      the Depository which, as of the date hereof, shall be CDS (or any nominee
      of the Depository). No Beneficial Holder will receive definitive
      certificates representing their interest in Debentures except as provided
      in this Section 2.4(g) and Section 3.2. A Global Debenture may be
      exchanged for Definitive Debentures, or transferred to and registered in
      the name of a person other than the Depository for such Global Debentures
      or a nominee thereof, as provided in Section 3.2.

	 	 	 	 
	 		
      The Definitive Debentures will be registered in the names
      of each holder thereof as provided in Section 3.1. A Definitive Debenture
      may be exchanged, or transferred to and registered in the name of a person
      other than the registered holder thereof, as provided in Section
    3.2.

	 	 	 	 
	 	(h) 	
      Within 30 days following the occurrence of a Change of
      Control, and subject to the provisions and conditions of this Section
      2.4(h), the Corporation shall be obligated to offer to purchase all of the
      Initial Debentures then outstanding. The terms and conditions of such
      obligation are set forth below:

	 	 	 	 
	 		(i) 	
      Within 30 days following the occurrence of a Change of
      Control, the Corporation shall deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee
      shall promptly deliver to the holders of the Initial Debentures, a notice
      stating that there has been a Change of Control and specifying the date on
      which such Change of Control occurred and the circumstances or events
      giving rise to such Change of Control (a “Change of Control
      Notice”) together with an offer in writing (the “Change of Control
      Purchase Offer”) to, at the option of the holder of the Initial
      Debentures, either: (i) purchase, on the Change of Control Purchase Date
      (as defined below), all (or any portion actually tendered to such offer)
      of the Initial Debentures then outstanding from the holders thereof made
      in accordance with the requirements of all applicable laws, including
      Applicable Securities Legislation, at a price per Initial Debenture equal
      to 100% of the principal amount thereof (the “Offer Price”) plus accrued and unpaid interest on
      such Initial Debentures up to, but excluding, the Change of Control
      Purchase Date (collectively, the “Total Offer Price”); or (ii)
      convert the Initial Debentures at the Change of Control Conversion Price.
      If such Change of Control Purchase Date is after a record date for the
      payment of interest on the Initial Debentures but on or prior to an
      Interest Payment Date, then the interest payable on such date will be paid
      to the holder of record of the Debentures on the relevant record date. The
      “Change of Control Purchase Date” shall be the date that is 30
      Business Days after the date that the Change of Control Notice and Change
      of Control Purchase Offer are delivered to holders of Initial
      Debentures.

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 19 - 

	 	(ii) 	
      The “Change of Control Conversion Price” will be
      calculated as follows:

	 	COCCP 	= 	
      ECP/( 1 +(CP x (c/t))) where: 

	 	 	 	 
	 	COCCP 	= 	
      is the Change of Control Conversion Price; 

	 	 	 	 
		ECP 	= 	
      is the Conversion Price in effect on the date of the
      Change of Control; 

	 	 	 	 
	 	CP 	= 	
      31.2%; 

	 	 	 	 
		c 	= 	
      the number of days from and including the date of the
      Change of Control to but excluding the Maturity Date; and 

	 	 	 	 
		t 	= 	
      the number of days from and including the issuance date
      to but excluding the Maturity Date. 

	 	(iii) 	
      If 90% or more in aggregate principal amount of the
      Initial Debentures outstanding on the date the Corporation provides the
      Change of Control Notice and the Change of Control Purchase Offer to
      holders of the Initial Debentures have been tendered for purchase pursuant
      to the Change of Control Purchase Offer on or before the expiration
      thereof, the Corporation has the right upon written notice provided to the
      Trustee within 10 days following the expiration of the Change of Control
      Purchase Offer, to redeem all the Initial Debentures remaining outstanding
      on the expiration of the Change of Control Purchase Offer at the Total
      Offer Price as at the Change of Control Purchase Date (the “90%
      Redemption Right”).

	 	 	 
	 	(iv) 	
      Upon receipt of notice that the Corporation has exercised
      or is exercising the 90% Redemption Right and is acquiring the remaining
      Initial Debentures, the Trustee shall promptly provide written notice to
      each holder of an Initial Debenture that did not previously accept the
      Offer that:

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 20 - 

	 	(A) 	
      the Corporation has exercised the 90% Redemption Right
      and is purchasing all outstanding Initial Debentures effective on the
      expiry of the Change of Control Purchase Offer at the Total Offer Price,
      and shall include a calculation of the amount payable to such holder as
      payment of the Total Offer Price as at the Change of Control Purchase
      Date;

	 	 	 
	 	(B) 	
      each such holder must transfer their Initial Debentures
      to the Trustee on the same terms as those holders that accepted the Change
      of Control Purchase Offer and must send their respective Initial
      Debentures, duly endorsed for transfer, to the Trustee within 10 days
      after the sending of such notice; and

	 	 	 
	 	(C) 	
      the rights of such holder under the terms of the Initial
      Debentures and this Indenture cease to be effective as of the date of
      expiry of the Change of Control Purchase Offer provided the Corporation
      has, on or before the time of notifying the Trustee of the exercise of the
      90% Redemption Right, paid the Total Offer Price to, or to the order of,
      the Trustee and thereafter the Initial Debentures shall not be considered
      to be outstanding and the holder shall not have any right except to
      receive such holder’s Total Offer Price upon surrender and delivery of
      such holder’s Initial Debentures in accordance with the
  Indenture.

	 	(v) 	
      The Corporation shall, on or before 11:00 a.m., Vancouver
      time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the Change of Control
      Purchase Date, deposit with the Trustee or any paying agent to the order
      of the Trustee, such sums of money as are sufficient to pay the Total
      Offer Price of the Initial Debentures to be purchased or redeemed by the
      Corporation on the Change of Control Purchase Date, provided the
      Corporation may elect to satisfy this requirement by providing the Trustee
      with a certified cheque or wire transfer for such amounts required under
      this Section 2.4(h)(v) post- dated to the date of expiry of the Change of
      Control Purchase Offer. The Corporation shall also deposit with the
      Trustee a sum of money sufficient to pay any charges or expenses which may
      be incurred by the Trustee in connection with such purchase. Every such
      deposit shall be irrevocable. From the sums so deposited, the Trustee
      shall pay or cause to be paid to the holders of such Initial Debentures,
      the Total Offer Price to which they are entitled on the Corporation’s
      purchase.

	 	 	 
	 	(vi) 	
      In the event that one or more of such Initial Debentures
      being purchased in accordance with this Section 2.4(h) becomes subject to
      purchase in part only, upon surrender of such Initial Debentures for
      payment of the Total Offer Price, the Corporation shall execute and the
      Trustee shall certify and deliver to the holder thereof or upon the
      holder’s order, one or more new Initial Debentures for the portion of the
      principal amount of the Initial Debentures not
purchased.

      Initial Debentures for which holders have accepted the
      Change of Control Purchase Offer and Initial Debentures which the
      Corporation has elected to redeem in accordance with this Section 2.4(h)
      shall become due and payable at the Total Offer Price on the Change of
      Control Purchase Date, in the same manner and with the same effect as if
      it were the date of maturity specified in such Initial Debentures,
      anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and from and
      after the Change of Control Purchase Date, if the money necessary to
      purchase or redeem, or the Common Shares necessary to purchase or redeem,
      the Initial Debentures shall have been deposited as provided in this
      Section 2.4(h) and affidavits or other proofs satisfactory to the Trustee
      as to the publication and/or mailing of such notices shall have been
      lodged with it, interest on the Initial Debentures shall cease. If any
      question shall arise as to whether any notice has been given as above
      provided and such deposit made, such question shall be decided by the
      Trustee whose decision shall be final and binding upon all
  parties.

	 	 	 
	 	(viii) 	
      In case the holder of any Initial Debenture to be
      purchased or redeemed in accordance with this Section 2.4(h) shall fail on
      or before the Change of Control Purchase Date to so surrender such
      holder’s Initial Debenture or shall not within such time accept payment of
      the monies payable or give such receipt therefor, if any, as the Trustee
      may require, such monies may be set aside in trust, without interest,
      either in the deposit department of the Trustee or in a chartered bank,
      and such setting aside shall for all purposes be deemed a payment to the
      Debentureholder of the sum or the Common Shares so set aside and the
      Debentureholder shall have no other right except to receive payment of the
      monies so paid and deposited upon surrender and delivery of such holder’s
      Initial Debenture. In the event that any money or certificates
      representing Common Shares required to be deposited hereunder with the
      Trustee or any depository or paying agent on account of principal,
      premium, if any, or interest, if any, on Initial Debentures issued
      hereunder shall remain so deposited for a period of six years from the
      Change of Control Purchase Date, then such monies, or certificates
      representing Common Shares, together with any accumulated interest
      thereon, or any distributions paid thereon, shall at the end of such
      period be paid over or delivered over by the Trustee or such depository or
      paying agent to the Corporation and the Trustee shall not be responsible
      to Debentureholders of such Initial Debentures for any amounts owing to
      them.

      Subject to the provisions above related to Initial
      Debentures purchased in part, all Initial Debentures redeemed and paid

	 	(a) 	
      The Corporation may specify that the Debentures of a
      series are to be issued in whole or in part as one or more Global
      Debentures registered in the name of a Depository, or its nominee,
      designated by the Corporation in the Written Direction of the Corporation
      delivered to the Trustee at the time of issue of such Debentures, and in
      such event the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall certify and
      deliver one or more Global Debentures that shall:

	 	 	 	 
	 		(i) 	
      represent an aggregate amount equal to the principal
      amount of the outstanding Debentures of such series to be represented by
      one or more Global Debentures;

	 	 	 	 
	 		(ii) 	
      be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or
      pursuant to such Depository’s instructions; and

	 	 	 	 
	 		(iii) 	
      bear a legend substantially to the following
    effect:

	 	 	 	 
	 			
      “THIS DEBENTURE IS A GLOBAL DEBENTURE WITHIN THE MEANING
      OF THE INDENTURE HEREIN REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A
      DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS DEBENTURE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO
      OR EXCHANGED FOR DEBENTURES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF ANY PERSON OTHER
      THAN THE DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF AND NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE
      REGISTERED EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE.
      EVERY DEBENTURE AUTHENTICATED AND DELIVERED UPON REGISTRATION OF, TRANSFER
      OF, OR IN EXCHANGE FOR, OR IN LIEU OF, THIS DEBENTURE SHALL BE A GLOBAL
      DEBENTURE SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT IN SUCH LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES
      DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE.

	 	 	 	 
	 			
      UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
      REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS CLEARING AND DEPOSITORY SERVICES INC. (“CDS”) TO
      NATURALLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES INC. (THE “ISSUER”) OR ITS AGENT FOR
      REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT,
AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IN RESPECT THEREOF IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CDS & CO., OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CDS & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF, CDS & CO., HAS A PROPERTY INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HEREIN AND IT IS A VIOLATION OF ITS RIGHTS FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO HOLD, TRANSFER OR DEAL WITH THIS CERTIFICATE.

TRANSFERS OF THIS DEBENTURE SHALL BE
LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF CDS & CO. OR
TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE.” 

	 	(b) 	
      Each Depository designated for a Global Debenture must,
      at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as such
      Depository, be a clearing agency registered or designated under the
      securities legislation of the jurisdiction where the Depository has its
      principal offices.

2.7     Execution of
Debentures 

          All
Debentures shall be manually signed by any one authorized director or officer of
the Corporation holding office at the time of signing.

          Notwithstanding
that any person whose signature appears on a Debenture as a director or officer
may no longer hold such office at the date of the Debenture or at the date of
the certification and delivery thereof, such Debenture shall be valid and
binding upon the Corporation and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

2.8     Certification

          No
Debenture shall be issued or, if issued, shall be obligatory or shall entitle
the holder to the benefits of this Indenture, until it has been manually
certified by or on behalf of the Trustee substantially in the form set out in
this Indenture, in the relevant supplemental indenture, or in some other form
approved by the Trustee. Such certification on any Debenture shall be conclusive
evidence that such Debenture is duly issued, is a valid obligation of the
Corporation and the holder is entitled to the benefits hereof. 

          The
certificate of the Trustee signed on the Debentures shall not be construed as a
representation or warranty by the Trustee as to the validity of this Indenture
or of the Debentures or as to the issuance of the Debentures and the Trustee
shall in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of the Debentures
or any of them or the proceeds thereof. The certificate of the Trustee on the
Debentures shall, however, be a representation and warranty by the Trustee that
the Debentures have been duly certified by or on behalf of the
Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture.

2.9     Mutilation, Loss,
  Theft or Destruction

          In
case any of the Debentures issued hereunder shall become mutilated or be lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Corporation, in its discretion, may issue, and
thereupon the Trustee shall certify and deliver, a new Debenture upon surrender
and cancellation of the mutilated Debenture, or in the case of a lost, stolen or
destroyed Debenture, in lieu of and in substitution for the same, and the
substituted Debenture shall be in a form approved by the Trustee and shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and rank equally in accordance with
its terms with all other Debentures of such series issued or to be issued
hereunder. In case of loss, theft or destruction the applicant for a substituted
Debenture shall furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustee such evidence of
the loss, theft or destruction of the Debenture as shall be satisfactory to them
in their discretion and shall also furnish an indemnity and surety bond
satisfactory to them in their discretion. The applicant shall pay all reasonable
expenses incidental to the issuance of any substituted Debenture. 

2.10   Concerning Interest

	 	(a) 	
      All Debentures issued hereunder, whether originally or
      upon exchange or in substitution for previously issued Debentures which
      are interest bearing, shall bear interest (i) from and including their
      issue date, or (ii) from and including the last Interest Payment Date to
      which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment on the
      outstanding Debentures of that series, whichever shall be the later, or,
      in respect of Debentures subject to a Periodic Offering, from and
      including their issue date or from and including the last Interest Payment
      Date to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment
      on such Debentures, in all cases, to and excluding the next Interest
      Payment Date.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      Unless otherwise specifically provided in the terms of
      the Debentures of any series, interest for any period shall be computed on
      the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed in
      such period. With respect to any series of Debentures, for the purposes of
      disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), whenever interest is computed
      on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than
      the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate
      of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the
      Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual
      number of days in such calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the
      number of days in the deemed year.

2.11   Rank 

          The
Debentures will be direct unsecured obligations of the Corporation. Each
Debenture of the same series of Debentures will rank pari passu with each other
Debenture of the same series (regardless of their actual date or terms of issue)
and, subject to statutory preferred exceptions, with all other present and
future indebtedness of the Corporation, other than Senior Indebtedness. The
Guarantee Obligations will rank in priority to any other obligations of NAT US to the extent the Guarantee Obligations are secured by the
Security Interest constituted by the Security Documents and otherwise will be
subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness of NAT US in accordance with the
provisions of Article 5.

2.12   Payments of Amounts Due
  on Maturity

          Except
as may otherwise be provided herein or in any supplemental indenture in respect
of any series of Debentures, payments of amounts due upon maturity of the
Debentures will be made in the following manner. The Corporation will establish
and maintain with the Trustee a Maturity Account for each series of Debentures.
Each such Maturity Account shall be maintained by and be subject to the control
of the Trustee for the purposes of this Indenture. On or before 11:00 a.m.
(Vancouver time) on the Business Day immediately prior to each Maturity Date for
Debentures outstanding from time to time under this Indenture, the Corporation
will deliver to the Trustee a certified cheque or wire transfer for deposit in
the applicable Maturity Account in an amount sufficient to pay the cash amount
payable in respect of such Debentures (including the principal amount together
with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon). The Trustee, on behalf of the
Corporation, will pay to each holder entitled to receive payment the principal
amount of and premium (if any) and accrued and unpaid interest on the Debenture,
upon surrender of the Debenture at any branch of the Trustee designated for such
purpose from time to time by the Corporation and the Trustee. The delivery of
such funds to the Trustee for deposit to the applicable Maturity Account will
satisfy and discharge the liability of the Corporation for the Debentures to
which the delivery of funds relates to the extent of the amount delivered and
such Debentures will thereafter to that extent not be considered as outstanding
under this Indenture and such holder will have no other right in regard thereto
other than to receive out of the money so delivered or made available the amount
to which it is entitled. 

     2.13   U.S.
Legend on the Debentures and Common Shares 

	 	
      (a) 
	
      The Debentures and the Common Shares issuable upon
      conversion thereof have not been and will not be registered under the U.S.
      Securities Act or under the securities laws of any U.S. States. Any
      Debentures issued in the U.S. or to a U.S. Person, or to a person acting
      for the account or benefit of a person in the U.S. or a U. S. Person are,
      and any Common Shares issued upon conversion of such Debentures will be,
      “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U. S.
      Securities Act, and shall be issued in definitive (not global) form, and
      the certificates or other instruments representing such Debentures and the
      stock certificates representing any Common Shares issued upon conversion
      of such Debentures shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the
      following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer
      of such stock certificates):

	 	 	 
	 		
      “[THE SALE OF THIS DEBENTURE AND ANY COMMON SHARES
      ISSUABLE UPON ITS CONVERSION][THE COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
      CERTIFICATE] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF

      THE COMPANY PRIOR TO SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER; AND IN THE CASE OF

      Notwithstanding Section 2.13(a), provided that the
      Debentures or the Common Shares issuable upon conversion, redemption or
      maturity thereof are being sold in compliance with the requirements of
      Rule 904 of Regulation S, and provided that the Corporation is a “foreign
      issuer” within the meaning of Regulation S at the time of sale, the U.S.
      Legend may be removed by providing a declaration to the Trustee
      substantially as set forth in Schedule “E” hereto (or as the Corporation
      may prescribe from time to time); together with any other evidence
      reasonably requested by the Corporation or Trustee, which evidence may
      include an opinion of Counsel of recognized standing, in form and
      substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation or the Trustee, to
      the effect that the U.S. Legend is no longer required pursuant to the
      requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities
      laws; and provided, further, that if the Securities are being sold under
      Rule 144 of the U.S. Securities Act, the U.S. Legend may be removed by
      delivery to the Trustee of an opinion of Counsel, of recognized standing or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, that the U.S. Legend is no longer required under the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Provided that the Trustee obtains confirmation from the Corporation that such Counsel is satisfactory to it, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such opinion of Counsel without further inquiry.

2.14   Payment of Interest

          The
following provisions shall apply to Debentures, except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.4(c) or specified in a resolution of the Board of Directors, an
Officers’ Certificate or a supplemental indenture relating to a particular
series of Additional Debentures: 

	 	(a) 	
      As interest becomes due on each Debenture (except,
      subject to certain exceptions set forth herein including in Section 2.4,
      on conversion or on redemption, when interest may at the option of the
      Corporation be paid upon surrender of such Debenture), the Corporation,
      through the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, shall send or forward by
      prepaid ordinary mail, electronic transfer of funds or such other means as
      may be agreed to by the Trustee, payment of such interest to the order of
      the registered holder of such Debenture appearing on the registers
      maintained by the Trustee at the close of business on the fifth Business
      Day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date and addressed to the
      holder at the holder’s last address appearing on the register, unless such
      holder otherwise directs. If payment is made by cheque, such cheque shall
      be forwarded at least three days prior to each date on which interest
      becomes due and if payment is made by other means (such as electronic
      transfer of funds, provided the Trustee must receive confirmation of
      receipt of funds prior to being able to wire funds to holders), such
      payment shall be made in a manner whereby the holder receives credit for
      such payment on the date such interest on such Debenture becomes due. The
      mailing of such cheque or the making of such payment by other means shall,
      to the extent of the sum represented thereby, plus the amount of any tax
      withheld as aforesaid, satisfy and discharge all liability for interest on
      such Debenture, unless in the case of payment by cheque, such cheque is
      not paid at par on presentation. In the event of non-receipt of any cheque
      for or other payment of interest by the person to whom it is so sent as
      aforesaid, the Corporation will issue to such person a replacement cheque
      or other payment for a like amount upon being furnished with such evidence
      of non-receipt as it shall reasonably require and upon being indemnified
      to its satisfaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation is
      prevented by circumstances beyond its control (including, without
      limitation, any interruption in mail service) from making payment of any
      interest due on each Debenture in the manner provided above, the
      Corporation may make payment of such interest or make such interest
      available for payment in any other manner acceptable to the Trustee,
      acting reasonably, with the same effect as though payment had been made in
      the manner provided above.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      All payments of interest on the Global Debenture shall be
      made by electronic funds transfer or certified cheque made payable to the
      Depository or its nominee on the day interest is payable for subsequent
payment to Beneficial Holders of the applicable Global Debenture, unless the Corporation, the Trustee and the Depository otherwise agree. None of the Corporation, the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee for any Debenture issued as a Global Debenture will be liable or responsible to any person for any aspect of the records related to or payments made on account of beneficial interests in any Global Debenture or for maintaining, reviewing, or supervising any records relating to such beneficial interests.

2.15   Additional Amounts

	 	(a) 	
      All payments of interest by the Corporation in respect of
      the Initial Debentures will be made free and clear of, and without
      withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes or similar imposts
      (“Taxes”) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on
      behalf of the Government of Canada or of any province or territory thereof
      or by any authority or agency therein having power to tax (“Taxing
      Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is so required by
      law or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant
      governmental authority or agency. If any such withholding or deduction is
      so required, the Corporation will pay as additional interest such
      additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt
      by the holders of Initial Debentures of such amounts as would have been
      received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required,
      except that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a
      payment made to a holder of Initial Debentures for or in respect
  of:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 		(i) 	
      Taxes that would not have been imposed but for:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 			(A) 	
      the holder or Beneficial Holder of Initial Debentures
      being a resident, domicile or national of, or engaged in business or
      maintaining an establishment or other presence in, or otherwise having
      some present or former connection with, the Taxing Jurisdiction
      (including, without limitation, by virtue of the holder or Beneficial
      Holder carrying on a business or having a place of business in such
      jurisdiction), other than merely holding or ownership of such Initial
      Debenture; or

	 	 	 	 	 
	 			(B) 	
      the holder or Beneficial Holder not dealing at arm’s
      length, within the meaning of the Tax Act, with the Corporation at the
      relevant time; or

	 	 	 	 	 
	 			(C) 	
      all or any portion of the payment being deemed to be a
      dividend paid to the holder or Beneficial Holder pursuant to proposed
      subsection 214(16) of the Tax Act or any amended or successor provision
      substantially similar thereto;

	 	 	 	 	 
	 		(ii) 	
      any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal
      property or similar Taxes; or

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 30 - 

	 	(iii) 	
      any Taxes, deduction or withholding imposed by reason of
      the failure of the holder or Beneficial Holder of a Initial Debenture to
      comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements if
      such compliance is required or imposed by a statute, treaty or regulation
      or is in accordance with administrative practice of the relevant Taxing
      Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from or reduction in all or
      part of such Taxes, deduction or withholding.

	 	(b) 	
      If any such withholding or deduction is so required, the
      Corporation will (i) make such withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the
      full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance
      with applicable law.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any
      context, the payment of amounts based upon interest payable under or with
      respect to any Initial Debenture, such mention will be deemed to include
      mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such
      context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect
      thereof.

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      If the Corporation fails to make any payment required by
      this Section 2.15, the Trustee shall in no circumstances be required to
      make any such payment.

3.1     Definitive Debentures

	 	(a) 	
      With respect to each series of Debentures issuable as
      Definitive Debentures, the Corporation shall cause to be kept by and at
      the principal office of the Trustee in Vancouver, British Columbia or such
      other registrar as the Corporation, with the approval of the Trustee, may
      appoint at such other place or places, if any, as may be specified in the
      Debentures of such series or as the Corporation may designate with the
      approval of the Trustee, a register in which shall be entered the names
      and addresses of the holders of Definitive Debentures and particulars of
      the Debentures held by them respectively and of all transfers of
      Definitive Debentures. Such registration shall be noted on the Debentures
      by the Trustee or other registrar unless a new Debenture shall be issued
      upon such transfer.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      No transfer of a Definitive Debenture shall be valid
      unless made on such register referred to in Section 3.1 by the registered
      holder or such holder’s executors, administrators or other legal
      representatives or an attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing
      in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee or other
      registrar upon surrender of the Debentures together with a duly executed
      form of transfer acceptable to the Trustee and upon compliance with such
      other reasonable requirements as the Trustee or other registrar may
      prescribe, or unless the name of the transferee shall have been noted on
      the Debenture by the Trustee or other
registrar.

      Global Debentures

	 	 	 	 
		(a) 	
      With respect to each series of Debentures issuable in
      whole or in part as one or more Global Debentures, the Corporation shall
      cause to be kept by and at the principal offices of the Trustee in
      Vancouver, British Columbia or such other registrar as the Corporation,
      with the approval of the Trustee, may appoint at such other place or
      places, if any, as the Corporation may designate with the approval of the
      Trustee, a register in which shall be entered the name and address of the
      holder of each such Global Debenture (being the Depository, or its
      nominee, for such Global Debenture) as holder thereof and particulars of
      the Global Debenture held by it, and of all transfers thereof.

	 	 	 	 
		(b) 	
      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, a
      Global Debenture may not be transferred by the registered holder thereof
      and accordingly, no definitive certificates shall be issued to Beneficial
      Holders except in the following circumstances or as otherwise specified in
      a resolution of the Trustee, a resolution of the Board of Directors,
      Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture relating to a particular
      series of Additional Debentures:

	 	 	 	 
			(i) 	
      Global Debentures may be transferred by a Depository to a
      nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of a Depository to such
      Depository or to another nominee of such Depository or by a Depository or
      its nominee to a successor Depository or its nominee;

	 	 	 	 
			(ii) 	
      Global Debentures may be transferred at any time after
      the Depository for such Global Debentures (i) has notified the Trustee, or
      the Corporation has notified the Trustee, that it is unwilling or unable
      to continue as Depository for such Global Debentures, or (ii) ceases to be
      eligible to be a Depository under Section 2.6(b), provided that at the
      time of such transfer the Corporation has not appointed a successor
      Depository for such Global Debentures;

	 	 	 	 
			(iii) 	
      Global Debentures may be transferred at any time after
      the Corporation has determined, in its sole discretion, to terminate the
      book-entry only registration system in respect of such Global Debentures
      and has communicated such determination to the Trustee in
  writing;

	 	 	 	 
			(iv) 	
      Global Debentures may be transferred at any time after
      the Trustee has determined that an Event of Default has occurred and is
      continuing with respect to the Debentures of the series issued as a Global
      Debenture, provided that Beneficial Holders representing, in the
      aggregate, not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the
      Debentures of such series advise the Depository in writing, through the
      Depository Participants, that the continuation of the book-entry only
      registration system for such series of Debentures is no longer in their
      best interest and also provided that at the time of such transfer the

	 	(v) 	
      Global Debentures may be transferred or exchanged for
      definitive certificates at any time after a Depository has determined, in
      its sole discretion, that such transfer or exchange is required to effect
      conversion and/or redemption rights in accordance with the terms hereof
      and has communicated such determination to the Trustee in
  writing;

	 		(iv) 	
      whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be
      taken based upon instruction or directions of Debentureholders evidencing
      a specified percentage of the outstanding Debentures, the Depository shall
      be deemed to be counted in that percentage only to the extent that it has
      received instructions to such effect from the Beneficial Holders or the

      transfer the registration of any Debentures registered thereon to another
      register (which may be an existing register) and thereafter such

		(a) 	
      Unless otherwise required by law, the person in whose

      the original or any intermediate holder thereof and all persons may act
      accordingly and the receipt of any such registered holder for any such

      be bound to inquire into the title of any such registered
holder.

	 	 	 
		(c) 	
      Where Debentures are registered in more than one name,
      the principal, premium, if any, and interest from time to time payable in
      respect thereof may be paid to the order of all such holders, failing
      written instructions from them to the contrary, and the receipt of any one
      of such holders therefor shall be a valid discharge, to the Trustee, any
      registrar and to the Corporation.

	 	 	 
		(d) 	
      In the case of the death of one or more joint holders of
      any Debenture the principal, premium, if any, and interest from time to
      time payable thereon may be paid to the order of the survivor or survivors

ARTICLE 4 
REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE OF DEBENTURES

4.1     Applicability
of Article 

          Subject
to regulatory approval, Section 2.4(d) and Article 5, the Corporation shall have
the right at its option to redeem, either in whole at any time or in part from
time to time before maturity, by payment of money, any Debentures issued
hereunder of any series which by their terms are made so redeemable (subject,
however, to any applicable restriction on the redemption of Debentures of such
series) at such rate or rates of premium, if any, and on such date or dates and
in accordance with such other provisions as shall have been determined at the
time of issue of such Debentures and as shall have been expressed in this
Indenture, in the Debentures, in an Officers’ Certificate, or in a supplemental
indenture authorizing or providing for the issue thereof, or in the case of
Additional Debentures issued pursuant to a Periodic Offering, in the Written
Direction of the Corporation requesting the certification and delivery thereof.

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 36 - 

          Subject
to regulatory approval and Article 5, the Corporation shall also have the right
at its option to repay, either in whole or in part, on maturity, by payment of
money in accordance with Section 2.12, any Debentures issued hereunder of any
series which by their terms are made so repayable on maturity (subject however,
to any applicable restriction on the repayment of the principal amount of the
Debentures of such series) at such rate or rates of premium, if any, and on such
date or dates and in accordance with such other provisions as shall have been
determined at the time of issue of such Debenture and shall have been expressed
in this Indenture, in the Debentures, in an Officers’ Certificate, or in a
supplemental indenture authorizing or providing for the issue thereof, or in the
case of Additional Debentures issued pursuant to a Periodic Offering, in the
Written Direction of the Corporation requesting the certification and delivery
thereof. 

4.2     Partial Redemption

         If less
than all the Debentures of any series for the time being outstanding are at any
time to be redeemed, the Debentures to be so redeemed shall be selected by the
Trustee on a pro rata basis to the nearest multiple of $1,000 in accordance with
the principal amount of the Debentures registered in the name of each holder or
in such other manner as the Trustee deems equitable, subject to the approval of
the TSXV or such other exchange on which the Debentures are then listed, as may
be required from time to time. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the
terms of any series of Debentures, no Debenture shall be redeemed in part unless
the principal amount redeemed is $1,000 or a multiple thereof. For this purpose,
the Trustee may make, and from time to time vary, regulations with respect to
the manner in which such Debentures may be drawn for redemption and regulations
so made shall be valid and binding upon all holders of such Debentures
notwithstanding that as a result thereof one or more of such Debentures may
become subject to redemption in part only or for cash only. In the event that
one or more of such Debentures becomes subject to redemption in part only, upon
surrender of any such Debentures for payment of the Redemption Price, together
with interest accrued to but excluding the Redemption Date, the Corporation
shall execute and the Trustee shall certify and deliver without charge to the
holder thereof or upon the holder’s order one or more new Debentures for the
unredeemed part of the principal amount of the Debenture or Debentures so
surrendered or, with respect to a Global Debenture, the Trustee shall make
notations on the Global Debenture of the principal amount thereof so redeemed.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Debenture” or “Debentures” as
used in this Article 4 shall be deemed to mean or include any part of the
principal amount of any Debenture which in accordance with the foregoing
provisions has become subject to redemption. 

4.3     Notice of Redemption

          Notice
of redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) of any series of Debentures shall
be given to the holders of the Debentures so to be redeemed not more than 60
days nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (the
“Redemption Date”) in the manner provided in Section 12.2. Every such
notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Debentures called for
redemption, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and the places of payment
and shall state that interest upon the principal amount of Debentures called for
redemption shall cease to be payable from and after the Redemption Date. In
addition, unless all the outstanding Debentures are to be redeemed, the
Redemption Notice shall specify: 

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 37 - 

	 	(a) 	
      the distinguishing letters and numbers of the registered
      Debentures which are to be redeemed (or of such thereof as are registered
      in the name of such Debentureholder);

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      in the case of a published notice, the distinguishing
      letters and numbers of the Debentures which are to be redeemed or, if such
      Debentures are selected by terminal digit or other similar system, such
      particulars as may be sufficient to identify the Debentures so
      selected;

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      in the case of a Global Debenture, that the redemption
      will take place in such manner as may be agreed upon by the Depository,
      the Trustee and the Corporation; and

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      in all cases, the principal amounts of such Debentures
      or, if any such Debenture is to be redeemed in part only, the principal
      amount of such part.

          In
the event that all Debentures to be redeemed are registered Debentures,
publication shall not be required. 

4.4     Debentures Due
  on Redemption Dates

          Notice
having been given as aforesaid, all the Debentures so called for redemption
shall thereupon be and become due and payable at the Redemption Price, together
with accrued interest to but excluding the Redemption Date, on the Redemption
Date specified in such notice, in the same manner and with the same effect as if
it were the date of maturity specified in such Debentures, anything therein or
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and from and after such Redemption Date,
if the monies necessary to redeem such Debentures shall have been deposited as
provided in Section 4.5 and affidavits or other proof satisfactory to the
Trustee as to the publication and/or mailing of such notices shall have been
lodged with it, interest upon the Debentures shall cease. If any question shall
arise as to whether any notice has been given as above provided and such deposit
made, such question shall be decided by the Trustee whose decision shall be
final and binding upon all parties in interest. 

4.5     Deposit of Redemption
  Monies

          Redemption
of Debentures shall be provided for by the Corporation depositing with the
Trustee or any paying agent to the order of the Trustee, on or before 11:00 a.m.
(Vancouver time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the Redemption Date
specified in such notice, such sums of money as may be sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of the Debentures so called for redemption, plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon up to but excluding the Redemption Date, provided the
Corporation may elect to satisfy this requirement by providing the Trustee with
a certified cheque or wire transfer for such amounts required under this Section
4.5 post-dated to the Redemption Date. The Corporation shall also deposit with
the Trustee a sum of money sufficient to pay any charges or expenses which may
be incurred by the Trustee in connection with such redemption. Every such
deposit shall be irrevocable. From the sums so deposited, the Trustee shall pay
or cause to be paid, to the holders of such Debentures so called for redemption,
upon surrender of such Debentures, the principal, premium (if any) and interest
(if any) to which they are respectively entitled on redemption.

4.6     Failure to Surrender
  Debentures Called for Redemption

          In
case the holder of any Debenture so called for redemption shall fail on or
before the Redemption Date to so surrender such holder’s Debenture, or shall not
within such time accept payment of the redemption monies payable, or give such
receipt therefor, if any, as the Trustee may require, such redemption monies may
be set aside in trust, either in the deposit department of the Trustee or in a
chartered bank, and such setting aside shall for all purposes be deemed a
payment to the Debentureholder of the sum so set aside and, to that extent, the
Debenture shall thereafter not be considered as outstanding hereunder and the
Debentureholder shall have no other right except to receive payment out of the
monies so paid and deposited, upon surrender and delivery of such holder’s
Debenture, plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the
Redemption Date. In the event that any money required to be deposited hereunder
with the Trustee or any depository or paying agent on account of principal,
premium, if any, or interest, if any, on Debentures issued hereunder shall
remain so deposited for a period of six years from the Redemption Date, then
such monies, together with any accumulated interest thereon, shall at the end of
such period be paid over or delivered over by the Trustee or such depository or
paying agent to the Corporation on its demand, and thereupon the Trustee shall
not be responsible to Debentureholders for any amounts owing to them and,
subject to applicable law, thereafter the holder of a Debenture in respect of
which such money was so repaid to the Corporation shall have no rights in
respect thereof except to obtain payment of the money due from the Corporation,
subject to any limitation period provided by the laws of British Columbia. 

4.7     Cancellation
  of Debentures Redeemed

          Subject
to the provisions of Sections 4.2 as to Debentures redeemed or purchased in
part, all Debentures redeemed and paid under this Article 4 shall forthwith be
delivered to the Trustee and cancelled and no Debentures shall be issued in
substitution for those redeemed. 

4.8     Purchase of Debentures
  by the Corporation

         Unless
otherwise specifically provided with respect to a particular series of
Debentures, the Corporation may, if it is not at the time in default hereunder,
at any time and from time to time, purchase Debentures in the market (which
shall include purchases from or through an investment dealer or a firm holding
membership on a recognized stock exchange) or by tender or by contract, at any
price. All Debentures so purchased will be delivered to the Trustee and shall be
cancelled and no Debentures shall be issued in substitution therefor. 

          If,
upon an invitation for tenders, more Debentures are tendered at the same lowest
price than the Corporation is prepared to accept, the Debentures to be purchased
by the Corporation shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis or in
such other manner as consented to by the TSXV or such other exchange on which
the Debentures are then listed which the Trustee considers appropriate, from the
Debentures tendered by each tendering Debentureholder who tendered at such
lowest price. For this purpose the Trustee may make, and from time to time
amend, regulations with respect to the manner in which Debentures may be so
selected, and regulations so made shall be valid and binding upon all
Debentureholders, notwithstanding the fact that as a result thereof one or more
of such Debentures become subject to purchase in part only. 

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 39 - 

          The
holder of a Debenture of which a part only is purchased, upon surrender of such
Debenture for payment, shall be entitled to receive, without expense to such
holder, one or more new Debentures for the unpurchased part so surrendered, and
the Trustee shall certify and deliver such new Debenture or Debentures upon
receipt of the Debenture so surrendered or, with respect to a Global Debenture,
the Trustee shall make notations on the Global Debenture of the principal amount
thereof so purchased. 

4.9     Deposit of Maturity
  Monies

          Payment
on maturity of Debentures shall be provided for by the Corporation depositing
with the Trustee or any paying agent to the order of the Trustee, on or before
11:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the
Maturity Date such sums of money as may be sufficient to pay the principal
amount of the Debentures, together with a sum of money sufficient to pay all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but excluding the Maturity Date,
provided the Corporation may elect to satisfy this requirement by providing the
Trustee with one or more certified cheques or with funds by electronic transfer,
for such amounts required under this Section 4.9. The Corporation shall also
deposit with the Debenture Trustee a sum of money sufficient to pay any charges
or expenses which may be incurred by the Trustee in connection therewith. Every
such deposit shall be irrevocable. From the sums so deposited, the Trustee shall
pay or cause to be paid to the holders of such Debentures, upon surrender of
such Debentures, the principal and interest to which they are respectively
entitled on the Maturity Date.

ranking, subject only to Permitted Priority Encumbrances, and will promptly
provide the Trustee with evidence (satisfactory to the Trustee) of such filing,
registration and deposit after the making thereof. The Corporation shall, if and
when requested to do so by the Trustee, furnish to the Trustee an opinion of
Counsel to establish compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.2.

      conduct of the business of NAT US or in the operation of the Secured
      Assets;

and the Trustee will, at the expense of the Corporation,
execute and deliver from time to time releases and discharges necessary or
required as advised by Counsel with respect to the foregoing Subsections. Except

Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness 

          Subject
to the Security Interest constituted by the Security Documents and prior payment
in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the holders of the Debentures shall be
subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive
payments or distributions of assets of the Corporation and NAT US, as the case
may be, to the extent of the application thereto of such payments or other
assets which would have been received by the holders of the Debentures but for
the provisions hereof until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Debentures shall be paid in full, and no such payments or distributions to
the holders of the Debentures of cash, property or securities, which otherwise
would be payable or distributable to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness,
shall, as between NAT US and the Corporation, their creditors other than the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders of Debentures, be deemed to be a
payment by the Corporation or NAT US, as applicable, to the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness or on account of the Senior Indebtedness, it being
understood that the provisions of this Article 5 are and are intended solely for
the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of the Debentures, on
the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. 

          The
Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each of the Debentureholders, hereby waives
any and all rights to require a Senior Creditor to pursue or exhaust any rights
or remedies with respect to the Corporation, NAT US or any property and assets
subject to any Senior Security or in any other manner to require the orderly
disposition of property, assets or security in connection with the exercise by
the Senior Creditors of any rights, remedies or recourses available to them.

5.8     Obligation to
  Pay Not Impaired

          Nothing
contained in this Article 5 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Debentures
is intended to or shall impair, as between the Corporation, its creditors, and
the holders of the Debentures, the obligation of the Corporation, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders of the Debentures the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures, as and when the
same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or affect the
relative rights of the holders of the Debentures and creditors of the
Corporation, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the
holder of any Debenture from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture. 

          Nothing
contained in this Article 5 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Debentures
is intended to or shall impair, as between NAT US, its creditors other than the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders of the Debentures, the
obligation of NAT US, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders
of the Debentures the Guarantee Liabilities, as and when the same shall become
due and payable in accordance with their terms, or affect the relative rights of
the holders of the Debentures and creditors of NAT US other than the holders of
the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the
Trustee or the holder of any Debenture from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the
rights, if any, under this Article 5 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness. 

5.9     No Payment if
  Senior Indebtedness in Default

          Upon
the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness by lapse of time, acceleration or
otherwise, or any other enforcement of any Senior Indebtedness, then, except as
provided in Section 5.12, all such Senior Indebtedness of NAT US shall first be
paid in full, or shall first have been duly provided for, before any payment is
made by NAT US under the NAT US Guaranty and Security Agreement and all such
Senior Indebtedness of the Corporation shall first be paid in full, or shall
first have been duly provided for, before any payment is made by the Corporation
under the Debentures. 

          In
case of a circumstance constituting a default or event of default with respect
to any Senior Indebtedness of the Corporation permitting (whether at that time
or upon notice, lapse of time, or satisfaction of any other condition precedent)
a Senior Creditor to demand payment or accelerate the maturity thereof where the
notice of such default or event of default has been given by or on behalf of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness to the Corporation or the Corporation otherwise
has knowledge thereof, unless and until such default or event of default shall
have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment (by purchase
of Debentures or otherwise) shall be made by the Corporation (except as provided
in Section 5.12) under the Debentures and neither the Trustee nor the holders of
Debentures shall be entitled to demand, institute proceedings for the collection
of (which shall, for certainty include proceedings related to an adjudication or
declaration as to the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Corporation and other
similar creditor proceedings), or receive any payment or benefit (including
without limitation by set-off, combination of accounts or otherwise in any
manner whatsoever) on account of the Debentures after the happening of such a
default or event of default (except as provided in Section 5.12), and unless and
until such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall
have ceased to exist, such payments shall be held in trust for the benefit of,
and, if and when such Senior Indebtedness shall have become due and
payable, shall be paid over to, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness or their
representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture under which any instruments evidencing an amount of the Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been
paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. For greater certainty, this Section 5.9
shall not restrict the Debentureholders or the Trustee from demanding or
instituting proceedings in respect of the guarantee of NAT US or the Secured
Assets or receiving any payment or benefit on account of the proceeds thereof
provided that any such proceeds are distributed in accordance with Section 5.5.

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 45 - 

          The
fact that any payment hereunder is prohibited by this Section 5.9 shall not
prevent the failure to make such payment from being an Event of Default
hereunder. 

5.10   Payment on Debentures Permitted

          Nothing
contained in this Article 5 or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the
Debentures, shall affect the obligation of the Corporation to make, or prevent
the Corporation from making, at any time except as prohibited by Sections 5.6 or
5.9, any payment of principal of or, premium, if any, or interest on the
Debentures. The fact that any such payment is prohibited by Sections 5.6 or 5.9
shall not prevent the failure to make such payment from being an Event of
Default hereunder. Nothing contained in this Article 5 or elsewhere in this
Indenture, or in any of the Debentures, shall prevent the conversion of the
Debentures, or, except as prohibited by Sections 5.5, 5.6 or 5.9, the
application by the Trustee of any monies deposited with the Trustee hereunder
for the purpose, to the payment of or on account of the Debentures or the
Guarantee Liabilities. 

5.11   Confirmation of Subordination

          Each
holder of Debentures by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the
Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
effect the subordination as provided in this Article 5 and appoints the Trustee
his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Upon request of the
Corporation or NAT US, and upon being furnished an Officers’ Certificate stating
that one or more named persons are Senior Creditors and specifying the amount
and nature of the Senior Indebtedness of such Senior Creditor, the Trustee shall
enter into a written agreement or agreements with the Corporation or NAT US, as
the case may be, and the person or persons named in such Officers’ Certificate
providing that such person or persons are entitled to all the rights and
benefits of this Article 5 as a Senior Creditor and for such other matters, such
as an agreement not to amend the provisions of this Article 5 and the
definitions herein without the consent of such Senior Creditor, as the Senior
Creditor may reasonably request. Such agreement shall be conclusive evidence
that the indebtedness specified therein is Senior Indebtedness, however, nothing
herein shall impair the rights of any Senior Creditor who has not entered into
such an agreement. 

5.12   Knowledge of Trustee

          Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Article 5 or any provision in this Indenture or in the
Debentures contained, the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of any
Senior Indebtedness or of any default in the payment thereof, or of the
existence of any Event of Default or any other fact that would prohibit the making of any payment
of monies to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the
Trustee, unless and until the Trustee has received written notice thereof from
the Corporation, NAT US any Debentureholder or any Senior Creditor.

5.13   Trustee May Hold Senior
  Indebtedness

          The
Trustee is entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 5 with respect
to any Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any
other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture deprives the
Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 

5.14   Rights of Holders of Senior
  Indebtedness Not Impaired

          No
right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the
subordination herein will at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by
any act or failure to act on the part of the Corporation or NAT US or by any
non-compliance by the Corporation with the terms, provisions and covenants of
this Indenture or NAT US with the terms, provisions and covenants of the NAT US
Guaranty and Security Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any
such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. 

5.15   Altering the Senior Indebtedness

          The
holders of the Senior Indebtedness have the right to extend, renew, modify or
amend the terms of the Senior Indebtedness or any security therefor and to
release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise to deal freely with the
Corporation or NAT US, as the case may be, all without notice to or consent of
the Debentureholders or the Trustee and without affecting the liabilities and
obligations of the parties to this Indenture or the Debentureholders. 

5.16   Additional Indebtedness

          This
Indenture does not restrict the Corporation or NAT US from incurring additional
indebtedness for borrowed money or other obligations or liabilities (including
Senior Indebtedness) or mortgaging, pledging or charging its properties to
secure any indebtedness or obligations or liabilities. 

5.17   Right of Debentureholder
  to Convert Not Impaired

          The
subordination of the Debentures to the Senior Indebtedness and the provisions of
this Article 5 do not impair in any way the right of a Debentureholder to
convert its Debentures pursuant to Article 6. 

5.18   Invalidated Payments

          In
the event that any of the Senior Indebtedness shall be paid in full and
subsequently, for whatever reason, such formerly paid or satisfied Senior
Indebtedness becomes unpaid or unsatisfied, the terms and conditions of this
Article 5 shall be reinstated and the provisions of this Article 5 shall again
be operative until all Senior Indebtedness is repaid in full, provided that such
reinstatement shall not give the Senior Creditors any rights or recourses
against the Trustee or the Debentureholders for amounts paid to the
Debentureholders subsequent to such payment or satisfaction in full and prior to
such reinstatement.

5.19   Contesting Security

          The
Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Debentureholders, agrees that it shall
not contest or bring into question the validity, perfection or enforceability of
any of the Senior Indebtedness, the Senior Security, or the relative priority of
the Senior Security. 

5.20   Subordination to Security
  Interest

          The
Corporation hereby grants to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Debentureholders, and the Security Interest priority over any interest, lien,
claim, encumbrance, mortgage, charge, or security interest that the Corporation
may now or hereafter have in or to the Secured Assets such that the Security
Interest shall have a prior claim to the Secured Assets. The Corporation hereby
postpones all its right, title and interest in and to the Secured Assets with
and to the intent that the interest of the Corporation therein and thereto shall
be subordinate to and shall rank subsequent and subject in all respects to the
rights of the Trustee in and to the Secured Assets. The priorities and
postponements granted herein shall be effective notwithstanding the respective
dates of crystallization of any security, the priorities or rights that might
otherwise apply at law or by virtue of the respective dates or times of
execution, registration, attachment, perfection, default or enforcement of the
respective security or any notice or filing with respect thereto, any priority
granted by any principle of law or any statute, including any legislation
dealing with personal property security, and the order of any bankruptcy court
having jurisdiction over NAT US or the Secured Assets.

Section 12.2. 

6.3     Revival of Right
  to Convert

the redemption of any Debenture called for redemption by the Corporation is not
made or the payment of the purchase price of any Debenture which has been
tendered in acceptance of an offer by the Corporation to purchase Debentures for
cancellation is not made, in the case of a redemption upon due surrender of such
Debenture or in the case of a purchase on the date on which such purchase is

      duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and executed in a
      manner satisfactory to the Trustee, exercising his right to convert such
      Debenture in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6; provided

      Debenture to the Trustee shall be satisfied if the Trustee makes notation
      on the Global Debenture of the principal amount thereof so converted and

      into which such Debenture is convertible in accordance with the provisions
      of this Article 6 and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the Corporation
      shall deliver to such Debentureholder or, subject as aforesaid, his
      nominee(s) or assignee(s), a certificate or certificates for such Common

to the requirements of the TSXV, the Conversion Price in effect at any date
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth below. 

	 	(a) 	
      If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry
      the Corporation shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Common
      Shares into a greater number of shares, (ii) reduce, combine or
      consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares,
      or (iii) issue Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of
      the outstanding Common Shares by way of a dividend in the ordinary course,
      distribution (other than the issue of Common Shares to holders of Common
      Shares who have elected to receive dividends or distributions in the form
      of Common Shares in lieu of cash dividends or cash distributions paid in
      the ordinary course on the Common Shares), or otherwise, 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 Common Shares by way of a dividend or distribution, as the case
      may be, shall in the case of any of the events referred to in (i) and
      (iii) above be decreased in proportion to the
number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such
      subdivision, redivision or dividend, or shall, in the case of any of the
      events referred to in (ii) above, be increased in proportion to the number
      of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or
      consolidation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any
      event referred to in this Section 6.5(a) shall occur. Any such issue of
      Common Shares by way of a dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have
      been made on the record date for the dividend or distribution for the
      purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under
  subsections (c) and (d) of this Section 6.5.

- 50 - 

	 	(b) 	
      If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry
      the Corporation shall fix a record date for the payment of a cash dividend
      or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the
      outstanding Common Shares in respect of any Applicable Period, the
      Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so
      that it shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the
      Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the
      denominator shall be the Current Market Price per Common Share on such
      record date and of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price
      per Common Share on such record date minus the amount in cash per Common
      Share distributed to holders of Common Shares, provided that the
      Conversion Price so adjusted is not less than $2.58, which represents the
      volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSXV for
      the five consecutive trading days prior to and including August 23, 2012,
      the date the Offering was announced, less the maximum permitted discount
      pursuant to the policies of the TSXV. Such adjustment shall be made
      successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any
      such cash dividend or distribution is not paid, the Conversion Price shall
      be re-adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if
      such record date had not been fixed.

	 	 	
       

	 	(c) 	
      If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry
      the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of options,
      rights or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its
      outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more
      than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common
      Shares (or securities convertible into Common Shares) at a price per share
      (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the
      Current Market Price of a Common Share on such record date, the Conversion
      Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it
      shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in
      effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be
      the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus a
      number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the
      aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered
      for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange
      price of the convertible securities so offered) by such Current Market
      Price per Common Share, and of which the denominator shall be the total
      number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total
      number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase
      (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible).
      Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is
      fixed. To the extent that any such options, rights or warrants are not so
      issued or any such options, rights or warrants are not exercised prior to
      the expiration thereof, the Conversion Price shall be re-adjusted to the
      Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not
      been fixed or to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based
      upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into Common
      Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such options, rights or
      warrants were included in such fraction, as the case may be.

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 51 - 

	 	(d) 	
      If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry,
      there is a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital
      reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in Section
      6.5(a) or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, binding share
      exchange, merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or other
      entity or acquisition of the Corporation or other combination pursuant to
      which the Common Shares are converted into or acquired for cash,
      securities or other property; or a sale or conveyance of the property and
      assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety
      to any other Person (other than a direct or indirect wholly-owned
      subsidiary of the Corporation) or other entity or a liquidation,
      dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, any holder of a Debenture
      who has not exercised its right of conversion prior to the effective date
      of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation,
      amalgamation, arrangement, merger, share exchange, acquisition,
      combination, sale or conveyance or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up,
      upon the exercise of such right thereafter, shall, subject to the
      immediately following paragraph, be entitled to receive and shall accept,
      in lieu of the number of Common Shares then sought to be acquired by it,
      such amount of cash or the number of shares or other securities or
      property of the Corporation or of the Person or other entity resulting
      from such merger, amalgamation, arrangement, acquisition, combination or
      consolidation, or to which such sale or conveyance may be made or which
      holders of Common Shares receive pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution
      or winding- up, as the case may be, that such holder of a Debenture would
      have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital
      reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, share
      exchange, acquisition, combination, sale or conveyance or liquidation,
      dissolution or winding-up, if, on the record date or the effective date
      thereof, as the case may be, the holder had been the registered holder of
      the number of Common Shares sought to be acquired by it and to which it
      was entitled to acquire upon the exercise of the conversion right. If
      determined appropriate by the Board of Directors, to give effect to or to
      evidence the provisions of this Section 6.5(d), the Corporation, its
      successor, or such purchasing Person or other entity, as the case may be,
      shall, prior to or contemporaneously with any such reclassification,
      capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger,
      share exchange, acquisition, combination, sale or conveyance or
      liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, enter into an indenture which
      shall provide, to the extent possible, for the application of the
      provisions set forth in this Indenture with respect to the rights and
      interests thereafter of the holder of Debentures to the end that the
      provisions set forth in this Indenture shall thereafter correspondingly be
      made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, with respect to any cash,
      shares or other securities or property to which a holder of Debentures is entitled on the
      exercise of its acquisition rights thereafter. Any indenture entered into
      between the Corporation and the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this
      Section 6.5(d) shall be a supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to
      the provisions of Article 14. Any indenture entered into between the
      Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or such purchasing Person or
      other entity and the Trustee shall provide for adjustments which shall be
      as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in
      this Section 6.5(d) and which shall apply to successive reclassifications,
      capital reorganizations, amalgamations, consolidations, mergers, share
      exchanges, acquisitions, combinations, sales or conveyances. For greater
      certainty, nothing in this Section 6.5(d) shall affect or reduce the
      requirement for any Person to make a Change of Control Purchase Offer or
      any payment in connection therewith in accordance with Section 2.4, and
      notice of any transaction to which this Section 6.5(d) applies shall be
      given in accordance with Section 6.10.

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 52 - 

	 		
      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or
      in the form of any Debenture, if a holder would otherwise become entitled
      to receive, upon conversion of a Debenture, any property or securities
      (herein, “Ineligible Consideration”) that would not constitute
      prescribed securities for the purposes of Section 212(1)(b)(vii)(E) of the
      Tax Act as it applied on December 31, 2007 (“Prescribed
      Securities”), such holder shall not be entitled to receive such
      Ineligible Consideration upon conversion of the Debenture, but shall
      instead be entitled to receive Prescribed Securities of the Corporation
      (or a successor, as the case may be) with a fair market value equal to the
      fair market value of such Ineligible Consideration, as reasonably
      determined by the Board of Directors (which determination shall be
      conclusive and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to
      the Trustee); provided, however, that the Corporation or a successor, as
      the case may be, shall have the right (at the sole option of the
      Corporation or the successor, as the case may be) but not the obligation
      to deliver such Ineligible Consideration to the holder upon the conversion
      of the Debenture in lieu of such Prescribed Securities. At least 30 days
      prior to the effective date of a transaction that would otherwise cause
      holders of Debentures to become entitled to receive Ineligible
      Consideration upon a conversion of the Debentures, the Corporation will
      give notice to such holders of the consideration into which the Debentures
      will be convertible following such transaction.

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      If the Corporation shall make a distribution to all or
      substantially all of the holders of Common Shares of shares in the capital
      of the Corporation, other than Common Shares, or evidences of indebtedness
      or other assets of the Corporation, including securities (but excluding
      (x) any issuance of rights or warrants for which an adjustment was made
      pursuant to Section 6.5(c) and (y) any dividend or distribution paid
      exclusively in cash for which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section
      6.5(b)) (the “Distributed Securities”), then in each such case
      (unless the Corporation at its option chooses to distribute such
      Distributed Securities to the holders of Debentures on such dividend or
      distribution date (as if each holder had converted such Debenture into
      Common Shares immediately preceding the record date with respect to such
      distribution)) the Conversion Price in effect immediately preceding the
      record date fixed for the dividend or distribution
shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately preceding such record date by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price for the Common Shares immediately prior to the record date and of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, all subject to the approval of the TSXV) on such record date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one Common Share (determined on the basis of the number of Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on such record date). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 53 - 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
securities distributed by the Corporation to all holders of its Common Shares
consist of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or
other business of the Corporation (the “Spinoff Securities”), the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted, unless the Corporation at its option chooses
to make an equivalent distribution to the holders of Debentures, so that the
same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price
in effect on the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders
entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the denominator of which
shall be the sum of (A) the weighted average trading price of one Common Share
over the 20 consecutive trading day period (the “Spinoff Valuation
Period”) commencing on and including the fifth trading day after the date on
which ex-dividend trading commences for such distribution on the TSXV, or such
other national or regional exchange or market on which the Common Shares are
then listed or quoted and (B) the product of (i) the weighted average trading
price (calculated in substantially the same way as the Current Market Price is
calculated for the Common Shares) over the Spinoff Valuation Period of the
Spinoff Securities or, if no such prices are available, the fair market value of
the Spinoff Securities as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors (which
determination shall be conclusive and shall be evidenced by an Officers’
Certificate delivered to the Trustee but shall be subject to the approval of the
TSXV) multiplied by (ii) the number of Spinoff Securities distributed in respect
of one Common Share and the numerator of which shall be the weighted average
trading price of one Common Share over the Spinoff Valuation Period, such
adjustment to become effective immediately preceding the opening of business on
the 25th trading day after the date on which ex-dividend trading commences;
provided, however, that the Corporation may in lieu of the foregoing adjustment
elect to make adequate provision so that each holder of Debentures shall have
the right to receive upon conversion thereof the amount of such Spinoff
Securities that such holder of Debentures would have received if such Debentures
had been converted on the record date with respect to such distribution. 

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 54 - 

	 	(f) 	
      In any case in which this Section 6.5 shall require that
      an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for
      an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the
      occurrence of such event, issuing to the holder of any Debenture converted
      after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the
      additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the
      adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment;
      provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to such holder an
      appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such
      additional Common Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such
      adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such
      additional Common Shares declared in favour of holders of record of Common
      Shares on and after the Date of Conversion or such later date as such
      holder would, but for the provisions of this Section 6.5(f), have become
      the holder of record of such additional Common Shares pursuant to Section
      6.4(b).

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      The adjustments provided for in this Section 6.5 are
      cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions,
      reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other
      events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section
      6.5, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
      6.5, 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 6.5(g) are not required to be made shall
      be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
    adjustment.

	 	 	 
	 	(h) 	
      For the purpose of calculating the number of Common
      Shares outstanding, Common Shares owned by or for the benefit of the
      Corporation shall not be counted.

	 	 	 
	 	(i) 	
      In the event of any question arising with respect to the
      adjustments provided in this Section 6.5, such question shall be
      conclusively determined by a firm of nationally recognized chartered
      accountants appointed by the Corporation and acceptable to the Trustee
      (who may be the Auditors of the Corporation); such accountants shall have
      access to all necessary records of the Corporation and such determination
      shall be binding upon the Corporation, the Trustee and the
      Debentureholders.

	 	 	 
	 	(j) 	
      In case the Corporation shall take any action affecting
      the Common Shares other than action described in this Section 6.5, which
      in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would materially affect the
      rights of Debentureholders, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such
      manner and at such time, by action of the Board of Directors, subject to
      the prior written consent of the TSXV or such other exchange on which the
      Debentures are then listed, as the Board of Directors in their sole
      discretion may determine to be equitable in the circumstances. Failure of
      the directors to make such an adjustment shall be conclusive evidence that
      they have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the
      circumstances.

- 55 - 

	 	(k) 	
      Subject to the prior written consent of the TSXV or such
      other exchange on which the Debentures are then listed, no adjustment in
      the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of any event described in
      Sections 6.5(a), 6.5(b), 6.5(c) or 6.5(e) other than the events described
      in Section 6.5(a)(i) or (a)(ii) if the holders of the Debentures are
      entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis
      mutandis as if they had converted their Debentures prior to the
      effective date or record date, as the case may be, of such
event.

	 	 	 
	 	(l) 	
      Except as stated above in this Section 6.5, no adjustment
      will be made in the Conversion Price for any Debentures as a result of the
      issuance of Common Shares at less than the Current Market Price for such
      Common Shares on the date of issuance or the then applicable Conversion
      Price.

6.6     No Requirement
to Issue Fractional Common Shares 

          The
Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the
conversion of Debentures pursuant to this Article. If more than one Debenture
shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number
of whole Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the
basis of the aggregate principal amount of such Debentures to be converted. If
any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of
this Section, be deliverable upon the conversion of any principal amount of
Debentures, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering any certificate
representing such fractional interest, make a cash payment to the holder of such
Debenture of an amount equal to the fractional interest which would have been
issuable multiplied by the Current Market Price, provided, however, that the
Corporation shall not be required to make any payment of less than $5.00. 

6.7     Corporation to
  Reserve Common Shares

          The
Corporation covenants with the Trustee that it will at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized Common Shares (if the number thereof is or
becomes limited), solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of Debentures
as in this Article 6 provided, and conditionally allot to Debentureholders who
may exercise their conversion rights hereunder, such number of Common Shares as
shall then be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Debentures. The
Corporation covenants with the Trustee that all Common Shares which shall be so
issuable shall be duly and validly issued as fully-paid and non-assessable. 

6.8     Cancellation
  of Converted Debentures

          Subject
to the provisions of Section 6.4 as to Debentures converted in part, all
Debentures converted in whole or in part under the provisions of this Article 6
shall be forthwith delivered to and cancelled by the Trustee and no Debenture
shall be issued in substitution for those converted. 

6.9     Certificate as
  to Adjustment

          The
Corporation shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any
event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 6.5,
deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee 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, which certificate and the amount of the
adjustment specified therein shall be verified by an opinion of a firm of
nationally recognized chartered accountants appointed by the Corporation and
acceptable to the Trustee (who may be the Auditors of the Corporation) and shall
be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest. When so approved, the
Corporation shall, except in respect of any subdivision, redivision, reduction,
combination or consolidation of the Common Shares, forthwith give notice to the
Debentureholders in the manner provided in Section 12.2 specifying the event
requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof, including the
resulting Conversion Price; provided that, if the Corporation has given notice
under this Section 6.9 covering all the relevant facts in respect of such event
and if the Trustee approves, no such notice need be given under this Section
6.9.

6.10   Notice of Special Matters

          The
Corporation covenants with the Trustee that so long as any Debenture remains
outstanding, it will give notice to the Trustee, and to the Debentureholders in
the manner provided in Section 12.2, of its intention to fix a record date for
any event referred to in Sections 6.5(a), 6.5(b), 6.5(c) or 6.5(e) (other than
the subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation of its
Common Shares) which 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; provided that the
Corporation 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 14 days in each case
prior to such applicable record date. 

          In
addition, the Corporation covenants with the Trustee that so long as any
Debenture remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Trustee, and to the
Debentureholders in the manner provided in Section 12.2, at least 40 days prior
to the effective date of any transaction referred to in Section 6.5(d) stating
the consideration into which the Debentures will be convertible after the
effective date of such transaction. 

6.11   Protection of Trustee

          Subject
to Section 13.3, the Trustee: 

	 	(a) 	
      shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility
      to any Debentureholder to determine whether any facts exist which may
      require any adjustment in the Conversion Price, or with respect to the
      nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the
      method employed in making the same;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or
      value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares or of any shares or
      other securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered
      upon the conversion of any Debenture; and

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 57 - 

	 	(c) 	
      shall not be responsible for any failure of the
      Corporation to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver
      Common Shares or share certificates upon the surrender of any Debenture
      for the purpose of conversion, or to comply with any of the covenants
      contained in this Article 6.

6.12   U.S. Legend on Common
Shares 

          Each
certificate representing Common Shares issued to a U.S. Person, a person in the
United States, or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the
United States, upon conversion of Debentures shall have imprinted or otherwise
reproduced thereon such legend or legends in substantially the form of Schedule
“D” attached hereto.

officers of the Corporation who execute the Officers’ Certificate of the
Corporation’s compliance with all conditions and covenants in this Indenture
certifying that after reasonable investigation and inquiry, the Corporation has
complied with all covenants, conditions or other requirements contained in this
Indenture, the non-compliance with which could, with the giving of notice, lapse
of time or otherwise, constitute an Event of Default hereunder, or if such is
not the case, setting forth with reasonable particulars the circumstances of any
failure to comply and steps taken or proposed to be taken to eliminate such
circumstances and remedy such Event of Default, as the case may be. 

7.7     Performance of
  Covenants by Trustee

          If
the Corporation shall fail to perform any of its covenants contained in this
Indenture, the Trustee may notify the Debentureholders of such failure on the
part of the Corporation or may itself perform any of the covenants capable of
being performed by it, but shall be under no obligation to do so or to notify
the Debentureholders. All sums so expended or advanced by the Trustee shall be
repayable as provided in Section 7.2. No such performance, expenditure or
advance by the Trustee shall be deemed to relieve the Corporation of any default
hereunder. 

7.8     SEC Notice

          The
Corporation confirms that it has a class of securities registered pursuant to
Section 12 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act or has a reporting obligation

the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate (in a form provided by the Trustee)
certifying such reporting obligation and other information as requested by the
Trustee. The Corporation covenants that in the event that any such registration
or reporting obligation shall be terminated by the Corporation in accordance
with the U.S. Securities Exchange Act, the Corporation shall promptly notify the
Trustee of such termination and such other information as the Trustee may
require at the time. The Corporation acknowledges that Computershare is relying
upon the foregoing representation and covenants in order to meet certain SEC

7.10   Maintain Listing

          The
Corporation will use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the listing of
the Common Shares and the Debentures on the TSXV, and to maintain the
Corporation’s status as a “reporting issuer” not in default of the requirements
of the Applicable Securities Legislation; provided that the foregoing covenant
shall not prevent or restrict the Corporation from carrying out a transaction to
which Article 10 would apply if carried out in compliance with Article 10 even
if as a result of such transaction the Corporation ceases to be a “reporting
issuer” in all or any of the provinces of Canada or the Common Shares or
Debentures cease to be listed on the TSXV or any other stock exchange.

          The

	 	(a) 	
      ensure that each of the Security Documents will at all
      times constitute valid and perfected first ranking security on the Secured
      Assets, subject only to Permitted Priority Encumbrances, and at all times
      take all actions necessary or desirable to create, perfect and maintain
      the Security Interests granted pursuant to the Security Documents as
      perfected first ranking security over the Secured Assets, subject only to
      Permitted Priority Encumbrances;

      at all times do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or
      cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such acts,
      deeds, mortgages, hypothecs, transfers, assignments and assurances in law
      (including consents, approvals or waivers from third parties under
      applicable documents or applicable legislation) as may be necessary or
      desirable to ensure that the Trustee (for itself and the Debentureholders)
      has a first priority (subject only to Permitted Priority Encumbrances) and
      perfected Security Interest upon the Secured Assets;

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      cause all necessary and proper steps to be taken
      diligently to protect and defend the Secured Assets and the proceeds
      thereof against any adverse claims or demands, including without

      defence of litigation and the contest, settlement, release or discharge of
      any such claim or demand; and

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      if the Security Interests created by the Security
      Documents shall have become enforceable and the Trustee shall have become
      bound to enforce or has commenced enforcing the same, it shall from time
      to time execute and do all such assurances and things as the Trustee may
      reasonably require for facilitating the realization of the Security
      Interests created by the Security Documents and for exercising all the
      powers, authorities and discretions conferred upon the Trustee under this
      Indenture and for confirming to any purchaser of the Secured

ARTICLE 8 
DEFAULT 

8.1     Events of
Default 

          Each
of the following events constitutes, and is herein sometimes referred to as, an
“Event of Default”: 

	 	(a) 	
      failure for 15 days to pay interest on the Debentures
      when due;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      failure to pay principal or premium, if any, when due on
      the Debentures whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or

	 	(c) 	
      default in the delivery, when due, of all cash and any
      Common Shares or other consideration, if any, payable on conversion with
      respect to the Debentures, which default continues for 15 days;

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      default in the observance or performance of any covenant
      or condition of the Indenture by the Corporation, or of the NAT US
      Guaranty and Security Agreement by NAT US, and the failure to cure (or
      obtain a waiver for) such default for a period of 60 days after notice in
      writing has been given by the Trustee or from holders of not less than
      66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures to the Corporation
      specifying such default and requiring the Corporation or NAT US, as
      applicable, to rectify such default or obtain a waiver for same;

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      if a decree or order of a Court having jurisdiction is
      entered adjudging the Corporation or NAT US a bankrupt or insolvent under
      the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or any other bankruptcy,
      insolvency or analogous laws, or issuing sequestration or process of
      execution against, or against any substantial part of, the property of the
      Corporation or NAT US, or appointing a receiver of, or of any substantial
      part of, the property of the Corporation or the Secured Assets or ordering
      the winding-up or liquidation of either one’s, and any such decree or
      order continues unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 days;

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      if the Corporation or NAT US institutes proceedings to be
      adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or consents to the institution of
      bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it under the Bankruptcy
      and Insolvency Act (Canada) or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or
      analogous laws, or consents to the filing of any such petition or to the
      appointment of a receiver of, or of any substantial part of, the property
      of the Corporation or the Secured Assets or makes a general assignment for
      the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its
      debts generally as they become due; or

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 61 - 

	 	(g) 	
      if a resolution is passed for the winding-up or
      liquidation of the Corporation or NAT US except in the course of carrying
      out or pursuant to a transaction in respect of which the conditions of
      Section 10.1 are duly observed and performed;

then in each and every such event
listed above, the Trustee may, in its discretion, and shall, upon receipt of a
request in writing signed by the holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the Debentures then outstanding, subject to the provisions of Section
8.3, by notice in writing to the Corporation declare the principal of and
interest and premium, if any, on all Debentures then outstanding and all other
monies outstanding hereunder to be due and payable and the same shall thereupon
forthwith become immediately due and payable to the Trustee, and upon such
amounts becoming due and payable, the Corporation shall forthwith pay to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Debentureholders such principal, accrued and
unpaid interest and premium, if any, and interest on amounts in default on such
Debenture and all other monies outstanding hereunder, together with subsequent
interest at the rate borne by the Debentures on such principal, interest,
premium and such other monies from the date of such declaration or event until
payment is received by the Trustee, such subsequent interest to be payable at
the times and places and in the manner mentioned in and according to the tenor
of the Debentures. Such payment when made shall be deemed to have been made in
discharge of the Corporation’s obligations hereunder and any monies so received
by the Trustee shall be applied in the manner provided in Section 8.6. 

For greater certainty, for the purposes
of this Section 8.1, a series of Debentures shall be in default in respect of an
Event of Default if such Event of Default relates to a default in the payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures of such series in
which case references to Debentures in this Section 8.1 refer to Debentures of
that particular series. 

For purposes of this Article 8, where
the Event of Default refers to an Event of Default with respect to a particular
series of Debentures as described in this Section 8.1, then this Article 8 shall
apply mutatis mutandis to the Debentures of such series and references in this
Article 8 to the Debentures shall mean Debentures of the particular series and
references to the Debentureholders shall refer to the Debentureholders of the
particular series, as applicable. 

8.2     Notice of Events
  of Default

          If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Trustee shall, within 30
days after it receives written notice of the occurrence of such Event of
Default, give notice of such Event of Default to the Debentureholders in the
manner provided in Section 12.2, provided that notwithstanding the foregoing,
unless the Trustee shall have been requested to do so by the holders of at least
25% of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, the Trustee
shall not be required to give such notice if the Trustee in good faith shall
have determined that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of
the Debentureholders and shall have so advised the Corporation in writing.

      Waiver of Default

	 	 	 
		
      Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
    hereunder:

	 	 	 
		(a) 	
      the holders of the Debentures shall have the power (in
      addition to the powers exercisable by Extraordinary Resolution as
      hereinafter provided) by requisition in writing by the holders of more
      than 50% of the principal amount of Debentures then outstanding, to
      instruct the Trustee to waive any Event of Default and to cancel any
      declaration made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.1 and the Trustee
      shall thereupon waive the Event of Default and cancel such declaration, or
      either, upon such terms and conditions as shall be prescribed in such
      requisition; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing if the Event of
      Default has occurred by reason of the non-observance or non-performance by
      the Corporation of any covenant applicable only to one or more series of
      Debentures, then the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of
      the outstanding Debentures of that series shall be entitled to exercise
      the foregoing power and the Trustee shall so act and it shall not be
      necessary to obtain a waiver from the holders of any other series of
      Debentures; and

	 	 	 
		(b) 	
      the Trustee, so long as it has not become bound to
      declare the principal and interest on the Debentures then outstanding to
      be due and payable, or to obtain or enforce payment of the same, shall
      have power to waive any Event of Default if, in the Trustee’s opinion, the
      same shall have been cured or adequate satisfaction made therefor, and in
      such event to cancel any such declaration theretofore made by the Trustee
      in the exercise of its discretion, upon such terms and conditions as the
      Trustee may deem advisable.

          No
such act or omission either of the Trustee or of the Debentureholders shall
extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect any subsequent Event of
Default or the rights resulting therefrom. 

8.4     Enforcement by
  the Trustee

	 	(a) 	
      Subject to the provisions of Section 8.3 and to the
      provisions of any Extraordinary Resolution that may be passed by the
      Debentureholders, if the Corporation shall fail to pay to the Trustee,
      forthwith after the same shall have been declared (or have been deemed to
      be declared) to be due and payable under Section 8.1, the principal of and
      premium (if any) and interest on all Debentures then outstanding, together
      with any other amounts due hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion
      and shall upon receipt of a request in writing signed by the holders of
      not less than 25% in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding
      and upon being funded and indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction
      against all costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred, proceed in its
      name as trustee hereunder to obtain or enforce payment of such principal
      of and premium (if any) and interest on all the Debentures then
      outstanding together with any other amounts due hereunder by such
      proceedings authorized by this Indenture or by law or equity as the
      Trustee in such request shall have been directed to take, or if such
      request contains no such direction, or if the Trustee shall act without
      such request, then by such proceedings authorized by this Indenture or by suit at
  law or in equity as the Trustee shall deem expedient.

      its own name or as trustee of an express trust, or as attorney-in-fact for
      the holders of the Debentures, or in any one or more of such capacities,
      to file such proof of debt, amendment of proof of debt, claim, petition or
      other document as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
      claims of the Trustee and of the holders of the Debentures allowed in any
      insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other judicial proceedings relative
      to the Corporation or its creditors or relative to or affecting its
      property. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed (and the successive
      respective holders of the Debentures by taking and holding the same shall
      be conclusively deemed to have so appointed the Trustee) the true and
      lawful attorney-in-fact of the respective holders of the Debentures with
      authority to make and file in the respective names of the holders of the
      Debentures or on behalf of the holders of the Debentures as a class,
      subject to deduction from any such claims of the amounts of any claims
      filed by any of the holders of the Debentures themselves, any proof of
      debt, amendment of proof of debt, claim, petition or other document in any
      such proceedings and to receive payment of any sums becoming distributable
      on account thereof, and to execute any such other papers and documents and
      to do and perform any and all such acts and things for and on behalf of
      such holders of the Debentures, as may be necessary or advisable in the
      opinion of the Trustee, in order to have the respective claims of the
      Trustee and of the holders of the Debentures against the Corporation or
      its property allowed in any such proceeding, and to receive payment of or
      on account of such claims; provided, however, that subject to Section 8.3,
      nothing contained in this Indenture shall be deemed to give to the
      Trustee, unless so authorized by Extraordinary Resolution, any right to
      accept or consent to any plan of reorganization or otherwise by action of
      any character in such proceeding to waive or change in any way any right
      of any Debentureholder.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      The Trustee shall also have the power at any time and
      from time to time to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings

      the Trustee as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment
      shall be for the rateable benefit of the holders of the Debentures subject
      to the provisions of this Indenture. In any proceeding brought by the
      Trustee (and also any proceeding in which a declaratory judgment of a
      court may be sought as to the interpretation or construction of any
      provision of this Indenture, to which the Trustee shall be a party) the
      Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders of the Debentures, and
      it shall not be necessary to make any holders of the Debentures parties to
      any such proceeding.

principal of or interest on the Debentures or for the execution of any trust or
power hereunder or for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver or for a
receiving order under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or to

Event of Default hereunder; and (b) the Debentureholders by Extraordinary
Resolution or by written instrument signed by the holders of at least 66-2/3% in
principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding shall have made a request to
the Trustee and the Trustee shall have been afforded reasonable opportunity
either itself to proceed to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to
institute an action, suit or proceeding in its name for such purpose; and (c)
the Debentureholders or any of them shall have furnished to the Trustee, when so
requested by the Trustee, sufficient funds and security and indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
therein or thereby; and (d) the Trustee shall have failed to act within a
reasonable time after such notification, request, receipt of sufficient funds,
security and offer of indemnity and such notification, request, receipt of
sufficient funds, security and offer of indemnity are hereby declared in every
such case, at the option of the Trustee, to be conditions precedent to any such
proceeding or for any other remedy hereunder by or on behalf of the holder of
any Debentures.

      first, if and to the extent that the Debenture Trustee
      deems it in the interest of the Debentureholders generally, in payment of
      all liens, Security Interests and other encumbrances (if any) on the
      Secured Assets ranking or capable of ranking in priority to the Security
      Interest granted pursuant to the Security Documents or to keep in good
      standing any such prior encumbrances, including without limitation the
      Senior Security (if applicable);

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      second, in payment or in reimbursement to the Trustee or

	 	(e) 	
      fifth, in payment of the surplus, if any, of such monies
      to the Corporation or its assigns;

provided, however, that no payment shall be made pursuant to

Trustee shall have the right to demand production of the Debentures in respect

paid and the date of payment, but the Trustee may, in its discretion, dispense
with such production and endorsement, upon such indemnity being given to it and
to the Corporation and such surety bond being posted, as the Trustee shall deem
sufficient. 

8.9     Remedies Cumulative

      If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or securities
      in accordance with this Section 9.5 by reason of any legal proceeding or
      any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
      restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Corporation’s
      obligations under this Indenture and the affected Debentures shall be
      revived and reinstated as though no money or securities had been deposited
      pursuant to this Section 9.5 until such time as the Trustee is permitted
      to apply all such money or securities in accordance with this Section 9.5,
      provided that if the Corporation has made any payment in respect of
      principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Debentures or, as
      applicable, other amounts because of the reinstatement of its obligations,
      the Corporation shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such
      Debentures to receive such payment from the money or securities held by

      shall continue to have and be subject to their respective rights, duties
      and obligations under Article 2 and Article 4.

      In the event that, after the deposit of trust funds or
      trust property pursuant to Section 9.5 in respect of a series of

      Defeased Debentures from time to time converts its Debentures to Common

      Corporation return to the Corporation from time to time the proportionate
      amount of the trust funds or other trust property deposited with the
      Trustee pursuant to Section 9.5 in respect of the Defeased Debentures
      which is applicable to the Defeased Debentures so converted (which amount
      shall be based on the applicable principal amount of the Defeased
      Debentures being converted in relation to the aggregate outstanding
      principal amount of all the Defeased Debentures).

	 	 	 
		(c) 	
      In the event that, after the deposit of trust funds or
      trust property pursuant to Section 9.5, the Corporation is required to
      make a Change of Control Purchase Offer to purchase any outstanding

      to Initial Debentures or to make an offer to purchase Debentures pursuant
      to any other similar provisions relating to any other series
of Debentures, the Corporation shall be entitled to use any trust money or trust property deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.5 for the purpose of paying to any holders of Defeased Debentures who have accepted any such offer of the Corporation the Total Offer Price payable to such holders in respect of such Change of Control Purchase Offer in respect of Initial Debentures (or the total offer price payable in respect of an offer relating to any other series of Debentures). Upon receipt of a Written Direction from the Corporation, the Trustee shall be entitled to pay to such holder from such trust money or trust property deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.5 in respect of the Defeased Debentures which is applicable to the Defeased Debentures held by such holders who have accepted any such offer to the Corporation (which amount shall be based on the applicable principal amount of the Defeased Debentures held by accepting offerees in relation to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all the Defeased Debentures).

MEETINGS OF DEBENTUREHOLDERS 

11.1   Right to Convene
Meeting 

          The
Trustee or the Corporation may at any time and from time to time, and the
Trustee shall, on receipt of a Written Direction of the Corporation or a written
request signed by the holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of
the Debentures then outstanding and upon receiving funding and being indemnified
to its reasonable satisfaction by the Corporation or by the Debentureholders
signing such request against the costs which may be incurred in connection with
the calling and holding of such meeting, convene a meeting of the
Debentureholders. In the event of the Trustee failing, within 30 days after
receipt of any such request and such funding of indemnity, to give notice
convening a meeting, the Corporation or such Debentureholders, as the case may
be, may convene such meeting. Every such meeting shall be held in the City of
Vancouver, British Columbia or at such other place as may be approved or
determined by the Trustee. 

11.2   Notice of Meetings

	 	(a) 	
      At least 21 days’ notice of any meeting shall be given to
      the Debentureholders in the manner provided in Section 12.2 and a copy of
      such notice shall be sent by post to the Trustee, unless the meeting has
      been called by it. Such notice shall state the time when and the place
      where the meeting is to be held and shall state briefly the general nature
      of the business to be transacted thereat and it shall not be necessary for
      any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to be proposed or
      any of the provisions of this Article. The accidental omission to give
      notice of a meeting to any holder of Debentures shall not invalidate any
      resolution passed at any such meeting. A holder may waive notice of a
      meeting either before or after the meeting.

	 	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      If the business to be transacted at any meeting by
      Extraordinary Resolution or otherwise, or any action to be taken or power
      exercised by instrument in writing under Section 11.15, especially affects
      the rights of holders of Debentures of one or more series in a manner or
      to an extent differing in any material way from that in or to which the
      rights of holders of Debentures of any other series are affected
      (determined as provided in Sections 11.2(c) and (d)), then:

	 	 	 	 
	 		(i) 	
      a reference to such fact, indicating each series of
      Debentures in the opinion of the Trustee so especially affected
      (hereinafter referred to as the “especially affected series”) shall
      be made in the notice of such meeting, and in any such case the meeting
      shall be and be deemed to be and is herein referred to as a “Serial
      Meeting”; and

	 	 	 	 
	 		(ii) 	
      the holders of Debentures of an especially affected
      series shall not be bound by any action taken at a Serial Meeting or by
      instrument in writing under Section 11.15 unless in addition to compliance
      with the other provisions of this Article 11:

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 73 - 

	 	(A) 	
      at such Serial Meeting: (I) there are Debentureholders
      present in person or by proxy and representing at least 25% in principal
      amount of the Debentures then outstanding of such series, subject to the
      provisions of this Article 11 as to quorum at adjourned meetings; and (II)
      the resolution is passed by the affirmative vote of the holders of more
      than 50% (or in the case of an Extraordinary Resolution not less than
      66-2/3%) of the principal amount of the Debentures of such series then
      outstanding voted on the resolution; or

	 	 	 
	 	(B) 	
      in the case of action taken or power exercised by
      instrument in writing under Section 11.15, such instrument is signed in
      one or more counterparts by the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in
      principal amount of the Debentures of such series then
  outstanding.

	 	(c) 	
      Subject to Section 11.2(d), the determination as to
      whether any business to be transacted at a meeting of Debentureholders, or
      any action to be taken or power to be exercised by instrument in writing
      under Section 11.15, especially affects the rights of the Debentureholders
      of one or more series in a manner or to an extent differing in any
      material way from that in or to which it affects the rights of
      Debentureholders of any other series (and is therefore an especially
      affected series) shall be determined by an opinion of Counsel, which shall
      be binding on all Debentureholders, the Trustee and the Corporation for
      all purposes hereof.

	 	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      A proposal:

	 	 	 	 
	 		(i) 	
      to extend the maturity of Debentures of any particular
      series or to reduce the principal amount thereof, the rate of interest or
      redemption premium thereon or to impair any conversion right
    thereof;

	 	 	 	 
	 		(ii) 	
      to modify or terminate any covenant or agreement which by
      its terms is effective only so long as Debentures of a particular series
      are outstanding; or

	 	 	 	 
	 		(iii) 	
      to reduce with respect to Debentureholders of any
      particular series any percentage stated in this Section 11.2 or Sections
      11.4, 11.12 or 11.15;

shall be deemed to especially affect the rights of the
Debentureholders of such series in a manner differing in a material way from
that in which it affects the rights of holders of Debentures of any other
series, whether or not a similar extension, reduction, modification or
termination is proposed with respect to Debentures of any or all other series.

11.3   Chairman

          Some
person, who need not be a Debentureholder, nominated in writing by the Trustee
shall be chairman of the meeting and if no person is so nominated, or if the
person so nominated is not present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for the
holding of the meeting, a majority of the Debentureholders present in person or by proxy shall choose
some person present to be chairman.

11.4   Quorum

          Subject
to the provisions of Section 11.12, at any meeting of the Debentureholders a
quorum shall consist of Debentureholders present in person or by proxy and
representing at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures and,
if the meeting is a Serial Meeting, at least 25% of the Debentures then
outstanding of each especially affected series. If a quorum of the
Debentureholders shall not be present within 30 minutes from the time fixed for
holding any meeting, the meeting, if summoned by the Debentureholders or
pursuant to a request of the Debentureholders, shall be dissolved, but in any
other case the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the next week
(unless such day is not a Business Day in which case it shall be adjourned to
the next following Business Day thereafter) at the same time and place and no
notice shall be required to be given in respect of such adjourned meeting. At
the adjourned meeting, the Debentureholders present in person or by proxy shall,
subject to the provisions of Section 11.12, constitute a quorum and may transact
the business for which the meeting was originally convened notwithstanding that
they may not represent 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures
or of the Debentures then outstanding of each especially affected series. Any
business may be brought before or dealt with at an adjourned meeting which might
have been brought before or dealt with at the original meeting in accordance
with the notice calling the same. No business shall be transacted at any meeting
unless the required quorum is present at the commencement of business. 

11.5   Power to Adjourn

          The
chairman of any meeting at which a quorum of the Debentureholders is present
may, with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Debentures represented thereat, adjourn any such meeting and no notice of such
adjournment need be given except such notice, if any, as the meeting may
prescribe. 

11.6   Show of Hands

          Every
question submitted to a meeting shall, subject to Section 11.7, be decided in
the first place by a majority of the votes given on a show of hands except that
votes on Extraordinary Resolutions shall be given in the manner hereinafter
provided. At any such meeting, unless a poll is duly demanded as herein
provided, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or
carried unanimously or by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a
particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact. The chairman of
any meeting shall be entitled, both on a show of hands and on a poll, to vote in
respect of the Debentures, if any, held by him. 

11.7   Poll

          On
every Extraordinary Resolution, and on any other question submitted to a meeting
when demanded by the chairman or by one or more Debentureholders or proxies for
Debentureholders, a poll shall be taken in such manner and either at once or
after an adjournment as the chairman shall direct. Questions other than
Extraordinary Resolutions shall, if a poll be taken, be decided by the votes of
the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debentures and of each especially affected series, if applicable,
represented at the meeting and voted on the poll.

11.8   Voting

          On
a show of hands every person who is present and entitled to vote, whether as a
Debentureholder or as proxy for one or more Debentureholders or both, shall have
one vote. On a poll each Debentureholder present in person or represented by a
proxy duly appointed by an instrument in writing shall be entitled to one vote
in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures of which he shall then
be the holder. In the case of any Debenture denominated in a currency or
currency unit other than Canadian dollars, the principal amount thereof for
these purposes shall be computed in Canadian dollars on the basis of the
conversion of the principal amount thereof at the applicable spot buying rate of
exchange for such other currency or currency unit as reported by the Bank of
Canada at the close of business on the Business Day preceding the meeting. Any
fractional amounts resulting from such conversion shall be rounded to the
nearest $100. A proxy need not be a Debentureholder. In the case of joint
holders of a Debenture, any one of them present in person or by proxy at the
meeting may vote in the absence of the other or others but in case more than one
of them be present in person or by proxy, they shall vote together in respect of
the Debentures of which they are joint holders. 

11.9   Proxies

          A
Debentureholder may be present and vote at any meeting of Debentureholders by an
authorized representative. The Corporation (in case it convenes the meeting) or
the Trustee (in any other case) for the purpose of enabling the Debentureholders
to be present and vote at any meeting without producing their Debentures, and of
enabling them to be present and vote at any such meeting by proxy and of lodging
instruments appointing such proxies at some place other than the place where the
meeting is to be held, may from time to time make and vary such regulations as
it shall think fit providing for and governing any or all of the following
matters: 

	 	(a) 	
      the form of the instrument appointing a proxy, which
      shall be in writing, and the manner in which the same shall be executed
      and the production of the authority of any person signing on behalf of a
      Debentureholder;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      the deposit of instruments appointing proxies at such
      place as the Trustee, the Corporation or the Debentureholder convening the
      meeting, as the case may be, may, in the notice convening the meeting,
      direct and the time, if any, before the holding of the meeting or any
      adjournment thereof by which the same must be deposited; and

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      the deposit of instruments appointing proxies at some
      approved place or places other than the place at which the meeting is to

      power to assent to any compromise or arrangement with any
      creditor or creditors or any class or classes of creditors, whether
      secured or otherwise, and with holders of any shares or other securities
      of the Corporation;

	 	 	 
	 	(j) 	
      power to appoint a committee with power and authority
      (subject to such limitations, if any, as may be prescribed in the

Indenture, all other powers of and matters to be determined by the
Debentureholders may be exercised or determined from time to time by Ordinary
Resolution. 

The expression “Ordinary
Resolution” when used in this Indenture means, except as otherwise provided
in this Indenture, a resolution proposed to be passed as an ordinary resolution
at a meeting of Debentureholders duly convened for the purpose and held in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 11 at which a quorum of the
Debentureholders is present and passed by the affirmative votes of
Debentureholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting who
hold more than 50% of the principal amount of the Debentures voted in respect of
such resolution 

Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 11.11 none of such provisions shall in any manner
allow or permit any amendment, modification, abrogation or addition to the
provisions of Article 5 which could reasonably be expected to detrimentally
affect the rights, remedies or recourse of the priority of the Senior Creditors.

11.12 Meaning of “Extraordinary Resolution”

	 	(a) 	
      The expression “Extraordinary Resolution” when
      used in this Indenture means, subject as hereinafter in this Article
      provided, a resolution proposed to be passed as an Extraordinary
      Resolution at a meeting of Debentureholders (including an adjourned
      meeting) duly convened for the purpose and held in accordance with the
      provisions of this Article at which the holders of not less than 25% of
      the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, and if the
      meeting is a Serial Meeting, at which holders of not less than 25% of the
      principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding of each especially
      affected series, are present in person or by proxy and passed by the
      favourable votes of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the principal
      amount of the Debentures, and if the meeting is a Serial Meeting by the
      affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of each
      especially affected series, in each case present or represented by proxy
      at the meeting and voted upon on a poll on such resolution.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      If, at any such meeting, the holders of not less than 25%
      of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding and, if the
      meeting is a Serial Meeting, 25% of the principal amount of the Debentures
      then outstanding of each especially affected series, in each case are not
      present in person or by proxy within 30 minutes after the time appointed for the meeting, then
      the meeting, if convened by or on the requisition of Debentureholders,
      shall be dissolved but in any other case it shall stand adjourned to such
      date, being not less than 14 nor more than 60 days later, and to such
      place and time as may be appointed by the chairman. Not less than 10 days’
      notice shall be given of the time and place of such adjourned meeting in
      the manner provided in Section 12.2. Such notice shall state that at the
      adjourned meeting the Debentureholders present in person or by proxy shall
      form a quorum. At the adjourned meeting the Debentureholders present in
      person or by proxy shall form a quorum and may transact the business for
      which the meeting was originally convened and a resolution proposed at
      such adjourned meeting and passed thereat by the affirmative vote of
      holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the principal amount of the Debentures
      and, if the meeting is a Serial Meeting, by the affirmative vote of the
      holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the principal amount of the Debentures
      of each especially affected series, in each case present or represented by
      proxy at the meeting voted upon on a poll shall be an Extraordinary
      Resolution within the meaning of this Indenture, notwithstanding that the
      holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Debentures then
      outstanding, and if the meeting is a Serial Meeting, holders of not less
      than 25% of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding of
      each especially affected series, are not present in person or by proxy at
such adjourned meeting.

      given on a poll and no demand for a poll on an Extraordinary Resolution
      shall be necessary.

11.13 Powers Cumulative 

          Any
one or more of the powers in this Indenture stated to be exercisable by the
Debentureholders by Extraordinary Resolution or otherwise may be exercised from
time to time and the exercise of any one or more of such powers from time to
time shall not be deemed to exhaust the rights of the Debentureholders to
exercise the same or any other such power or powers thereafter from time to
time. 

11.14 Minutes

          Minutes
of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting as aforesaid shall be made
and duly entered in books to be from time to time provided for that purpose by
the Trustee at the expense of the Corporation, and any such minutes as
aforesaid, if signed by the chairman of the meeting at which such resolutions
were passed or proceedings had, or by the chairman of the next succeeding
meeting of the Debentureholders, shall be prima facie evidence of the matters
therein stated and, until the contrary is proved, every such meeting, in respect
of the proceedings of which minutes shall have been made, shall be deemed to
have been duly held and convened, and all resolutions passed thereat or
proceedings taken thereat to have been duly passed and taken. 

11.15 Instruments in Writing

          All
actions which may be taken and all powers that may be exercised by the
Debentureholders at a meeting held as hereinbefore in this Article provided may
also be taken and exercised by the holders of 66-2/3% of the principal amount

might be taken would be a Serial Meeting, by the holders of 66-2/3% of the
principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding of each especially affected
series, by an instrument in writing signed in one or more counterparts and the
expression “Extraordinary Resolution” when used in this Indenture shall include

11.16 Binding Effect of Resolutions

          Every
resolution and every Extraordinary Resolution passed in accordance with the
provisions of this Article at a meeting of Debentureholders shall be binding
upon all the Debentureholders, whether present at or absent from such meeting,
and every instrument in writing signed by Debentureholders in accordance with
Section 11.15 shall be binding upon all the Debentureholders, whether
signatories thereto or not, and each and every Debentureholder and the Trustee
(subject to the provisions for its indemnity herein contained) shall be bound to
give effect accordingly to every such resolution, Extraordinary Resolution and
instrument in writing. 

11.17 Evidence of Rights Of Debentureholders

	 	(a) 	
      Any request, direction, notice, consent or other
      instrument which this Indenture may require or permit to be signed or
      executed by the Debentureholders may be in any number of concurrent
      instruments of similar tenor signed or executed by such
      Debentureholders.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      The Trustee may, in its discretion, require proof of
      execution in cases where it deems proof desirable and may accept such
      proof as it shall consider proper.

11.18 Concerning Serial Meetings

          If
in the opinion of Counsel any business to be transacted at any meeting, or any
action to be taken or power to be exercised by instrument in writing under
Section 11.15, does not adversely affect the rights of the holders of Debentures
of one or more series, the provisions of this Article 11 shall apply as if the
Debentures of such series were not outstanding and no notice of any such meeting
need be given to the holders of Debentures of such series. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, a proposal to modify or terminate any covenant or
agreement which is effective only so long as Debentures of a particular series
are outstanding shall be deemed not to adversely affect the rights of the
holders of Debentures of any other series.

12.2   Notice to Debentureholders

          All
notices to be given hereunder with respect to the Debentures shall be deemed to
be validly given to the holders thereof if sent by first class mail, postage
prepaid, by letter or circular addressed to such holders at their post office
addresses appearing in any of the registers hereinbefore mentioned and shall be
deemed to have been effectively given three days following the day of mailing.
Accidental error or omission in giving notice or accidental failure to mail
notice to any Debentureholder or the inability of the Corporation to give or
mail any notice due to anything beyond the reasonable control of the Corporation
shall not invalidate any action or proceeding founded thereon. 

          If
any notice given in accordance with the foregoing paragraph would be unlikely to
reach the Debentureholders to whom it is addressed in the ordinary course of
post by reason of an interruption in mail service, whether at the place of
dispatch or receipt or both, the Corporation shall give such notice by
publication at least once in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia and each
such publication to be made in a daily newspaper of general circulation in the
designated city. 

          Any
notice given to Debentureholders by publication shall be deemed to have been
given on the day on which publication shall have been effected at least once in
each of the newspapers in which publication was required. 

          All

holders thereof (if more than one) is named first in the registers hereinbefore
mentioned, and any notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all holders of
any persons interested in such Debenture.

postage prepaid, to such office and so addressed and, if mailed, shall be deemed
to have been effectively given three days following the mailing thereof. 

12.4   Mail Service Interruption

          If
by reason of any interruption of mail service, actual or threatened, any notice
to be given to the Trustee would reasonably be unlikely to reach its destination

12.3, such notice shall be valid and effective only if delivered at the
appropriate address in accordance with Section 12.3.

ARTICLE 13 
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 

13.1   No Conflict of
Interest 

          The
Trustee represents to the Corporation that at the date of execution and delivery
by it of this Indenture there exists no material conflict of interest between
the role of the Trustee as a fiduciary hereunder and its role in any other
capacity but if, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.1, such a
material conflict of interest exists, or hereafter arises, the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, and the Debentures issued hereunder, shall not
be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only that such material conflict
of interest exists or arises but the Trustee shall, within 30 days after
ascertaining that it has a material conflict of interest, either eliminate such
material conflict of interest or resign in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 13.2. 

13.2   Replacement of Trustee

          The
Trustee may resign its trust and be discharged from all further duties and
liabilities hereunder by giving to the Corporation 90 days’ notice in writing or
such shorter notice as the Corporation may accept as sufficient. If at any time
a material conflict of interest exists in the Trustee’s role as a fiduciary
hereunder the Trustee shall, within 30 days after ascertaining that such a
material conflict of interest exists, either eliminate such material conflict of
interest or resign in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section
13.2. The validity and enforceability of this Indenture and of the Debentures
issued hereunder shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only
that such a material conflict of interest exists. In the event of the Trustee
resigning or being removed or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into
liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Corporation
shall forthwith appoint a new Trustee unless a new Trustee has already been
appointed by the Debentureholders. Failing such appointment by the Corporation,
the retiring Trustee or any Debentureholder may apply to an British Columbia
Court, on such notice as such Court may direct at the Corporation’s expense, for
the appointment of a new Trustee but any new Trustee so appointed by the
Corporation or by the Court shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the
Debentureholders and the appointment of such new Trustee shall be effective only
upon such new Trustee becoming bound by this Indenture. Any new Trustee
appointed under any provision of this Section 13.2 shall be a corporation
authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in all of the Provinces
of Canada. On any new appointment the new Trustee shall be vested with the same
powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named
herein as Trustee. 

          Any
company into which the Trustee may be merged or, with or to which it may be
consolidated, amalgamated or sold, or any company resulting from any merger,
consolidation, sale or amalgamation to which the Trustee shall be a party, shall
be the successor trustee under this Indenture without the execution of any
instrument or any further act. Nevertheless, upon the written request of the
successor Trustee or of the Corporation, the Trustee ceasing to act shall
execute and deliver an instrument assigning and transferring to such successor
Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the rights, powers and trusts of
the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all
property and money held by such Trustee to the successor Trustee so appointed in
its place. 

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 83 - 

         Should
any deed, conveyance or instrument in writing from the Corporation be required
by any new Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it
such estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts, then any and all such
deeds, conveyances and instruments in writing shall on request of said new
Trustee, be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Corporation. 

13.3   Duties of Trustee

          In
the exercise of the rights, duties and obligations prescribed or conferred by
the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee shall act honestly and in good faith
with a view to the best interests of the Debentureholders and exercise that
degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent trustee would
exercise in comparable circumstances. 

13.4   Reliance Upon Declarations,
  Opinions, etc.

          In
the exercise of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder the Trustee may, if
acting in good faith, rely, as to the truth of the statements and accuracy of
the opinions expressed therein, upon statutory declarations, opinions, reports
or certificates furnished pursuant to any covenant, condition or requirement of
this Indenture or required by the Trustee to be furnished to it in the exercise
of its rights and duties hereunder, if the Trustee examines such statutory
declarations, opinions, reports or certificates and determines that they comply
with Section 13.5, if applicable, and with any other applicable requirements of
this Indenture. The Trustee may nevertheless, in its discretion, require further
proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable. Without restricting the
foregoing, the Trustee may rely on an opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
Trustee notwithstanding that it is delivered by a solicitor or firm which acts
as solicitors for the Corporation. 

13.5   Evidence and Authority to
  Trustee, Opinions, etc.

          The
Corporation shall furnish to the Trustee evidence of compliance with the
conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to any action or
step required or permitted to be taken by the Corporation or the Trustee under
this Indenture or as a result of any obligation imposed under this Indenture,
including without limitation, the certification and delivery of Debentures
hereunder, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the taking of
any other action to be taken by the Trustee at the request of or on the
application of the Corporation, forthwith if and when (a) such evidence is
required by any other Section of this Indenture to be furnished to the Trustee
in accordance with the terms of this Section 13.5, or (b) written notice
requiring it to furnish such evidence in relation to any particular action or
obligation specified in such notice. 

          Such
evidence shall consist of: 

	 	(a) 	
      a certificate made by any two officers or directors of
      the Corporation, stating that any such condition precedent has been
      complied with in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      in the case of a condition precedent compliance with
      which is, by the terms of this Indenture, made subject to review or
      examination by a solicitor, an opinion of Counsel that such condition precedent has been complied
  with in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

	 	 	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

- 84 - 

	 	(c) 	
      in the case of any such condition precedent compliance
      with which is subject to review or examination by auditors or accountants,
      an opinion or report of the Auditors of the Corporation whom the Trustee
      for such purposes hereby approves, that such condition precedent has been
      complied with in accordance with the terms of this
  Indenture.

          Whenever
such evidence relates to a matter other than the certificates and delivery of
Debentures and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, and except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, such evidence may consist of a report or
opinion of any solicitor, auditor, accountant, engineer or appraiser or any
other person whose qualifications give authority to a statement made by him,
provided that if such report or opinion is furnished by a trustee, officer or
employee of the Corporation it shall be in the form of a statutory declaration.
Such evidence shall be, so far as appropriate, in accordance with the
immediately preceding paragraph of this Section. 

         Each
statutory declaration, certificate, opinion or report with respect to compliance
with a condition precedent provided for in the Indenture shall include (a) a
statement by the person giving the evidence that he has read and is familiar
with those provisions of this Indenture relating to the condition precedent in
question, (b) a brief statement of the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such evidence
are based, (c) a statement that, in the belief of the person giving such
evidence, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to
enable him to make the statements or give the opinions contained or expressed
therein, and (d) a statement whether in the opinion of such person the
conditions precedent in question have been complied with or satisfied. 

          The
Corporation shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee at any time if
the Trustee reasonably so requires, its certificate that the Corporation has
complied with all covenants, conditions or other requirements contained in this
Indenture, the non-compliance with which would, with the giving of notice or the
lapse of time, or both, or otherwise, constitute an Event of Default, or if such
is not the case, specifying the covenant, condition or other requirement which
has not been complied with and giving particulars of such non-compliance. The
Corporation shall, whenever the Trustee so requires, furnish the Trustee with
evidence by way of statutory declaration, opinion, report or certificate as
specified by the Trustee as to any action or step required or permitted to be
taken by the Corporation or as a result of any obligation imposed by this
Indenture. 

13.6   Officers’ Certificates
  Evidence

          Except
as otherwise specifically provided or prescribed by this Indenture, whenever in
the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or
omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee, if acting in good faith, may rely
upon an Officers’ Certificate.

(A corporation formed under the laws of British Columbia)

10% CONVERTIBLE SECURED DEBENTURES 

NATURALLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES INC. (the “Corporation”)
  for value received hereby acknowledges itself indebted and, subject to the provisions
  of the Debenture Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of September
  20, 2012 between the Corporation and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the
  “Trustee”), promises to pay to the registered holder hereof
  on September 30, 2017 or on such earlier date as the principal amount hereof
  may become due in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (any such
  date, the “Maturity Date”) the principal sum of [•
  ] Dollars [$•] in lawful money of Canada on presentation and surrender
  of this Initial Debenture at the main branch of the Trustee in Vancouver, British
  Columbia in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and, subject as hereinafter
  provided, to pay interest on the principal amount hereof from the date hereof,
  or from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest shall have been paid
  or made available for payment hereon, whichever is later, at the rate of 10%
  per annum (based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in
  that period), in like money, in arrears in equal (with the exception of the
  first interest payment which will include interest from September 20, 2012 as
  set forth below) semi-annual instalments on March 31 and September 30 in each
  year commencing on March 31, 2013 and the last payment (representing interest payable from the
last Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date) to fall due on
the Maturity Date and, should the Corporation at any time make default in the
payment of any principal, premium, if any, or interest, to pay interest on the
amount in default at the same rate, in like money and on the same dates. For
certainty, the first interest payment will include interest accrued from
September 20, 2012 to, but excluding March 31, 2013. For the purposes of
disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), whenever interest is computed under
this Initial Debenture on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which
contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of
calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate by
multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in such calendar
year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year. 

	 	A - 2	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

This Initial Debenture is one of the 10% Convertible Secured
Debentures (referred to herein as the “Initial Debentures”) of the
Corporation issued or issuable in one or more series under the provisions of the
Indenture. The Initial Debentures authorized for issue immediately are limited
to an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 in lawful money of Canada
($11,500,000 if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full).
Reference is hereby expressly made to the Indenture for a description of the
terms and conditions upon which the Initial Debentures are or are to be issued
and held and the rights and remedies of the holders of the Initial Debentures
and of the Corporation and of the Trustee, all to the same effect as if the
provisions of the Indenture were herein set forth to all of which provisions the
holder of this Initial Debenture by acceptance hereof assents. 

The Initial Debentures are issuable only in denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Upon compliance with the provisions of
the Indenture, Debentures of any denomination may be exchanged for an equal
aggregate principal amount of Debentures in any other authorized denomination or
denominations. 

Any part, being $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of the
  principal of this Initial Debenture, provided that the principal amount of this
  Initial Debenture is in a denomination in excess of $1,000, is convertible,
  at the option of the holder hereof, upon surrender of this Initial Debenture
  at the principal office of the Trustee in Vancouver, British Columbia, at any
  time prior to the close of business on the Maturity Date or, if this Initial
  Debenture is called for redemption on or prior to such date, then, to the extent
  so called for redemption, up to but not after the close of business on the last
  Business Day immediately preceding the date specified for redemption of this
  Initial Debenture, into Common Shares (without adjustment for interest accrued
  hereon or for dividends or distributions on Common Shares issuable upon conversion)
  at a conversion price of $2.90 (the “Conversion Price”) per
  Common Share, being a rate of approximately 344.8276 Common Shares for each
  $1,000 principal amount of Initial Debentures, all subject to the terms and
  conditions and in the manner set forth in the Indenture. No Initial Debentures
  may be converted during the ten Business Days preceding and including March
  31 and September 30 in each year, commencing March 31, 2013, as the registers
  of the Trustee will be closed during such periods. The Indenture makes provision
  for the adjustment of the Conversion Price in the events therein specified.
  No fractional Common Shares will be issued on any conversion but in lieu thereof,
  the Corporation will satisfy such fractional interest by a cash payment equal
  to the market price of such fractional interest determined in accordance with
  the Indenture. Holders converting Debentures shall receive accrued and unpaid
  interest thereon from the period of the last Interest Payment Date prior to
  the Date of Conversion to the date that is one Business Day prior to the Date
  of Conversion. If a Debenture is surrendered for conversion on an Interest Payment Date or during the five preceding Business Days, the
person or persons entitled to receive Common Shares in respect of the Debentures
so surrendered for conversion shall not become the holder or holders of record
of such Common Shares until the Business Day following such Interest Payment
Date. 

	 	A - 3	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

This Initial Debenture may be redeemed at the option of the
Corporation on the terms and conditions set out in the Indenture at the
redemption price therein and herein set out provided that this Initial Debenture
is not redeemable before September 30, 2015, except in the event of the
satisfaction of certain conditions after a Change of Control has occurred. On
and after September 30, 2015 and at any time prior to the Maturity Date of the
Initial Debentures, and provided that the Current Market Price of the Common
Shares of the Corporation is at least 125% of the Conversion Price of the
Initial Debentures, the Initial Debentures are redeemable at the option of the
Corporation at a price equal to $1,000 per Initial Debenture plus accrued and
unpaid interest and otherwise on the terms and conditions described in the
Indenture.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Corporation,
the Corporation is required to make an offer to purchase all of the Initial
Debentures at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Initial
Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the
date the Initial Debentures are so repurchased (the “Change of Control
Purchase Offer”). If 90% or more of the principal amount of all Debentures
outstanding on the date the Corporation provides notice of a Change of Control
to the Trustee have been tendered for purchase pursuant to the Change of Control
Purchase Offer, the Corporation has the right to redeem all the remaining
outstanding Initial Debentures on the same date and at the same price. 

If an offer is made for the Initial Debentures which is a
take-over bid for the Initial Debentures within the meaning of applicable
Canadian securities laws and 90% or more of the principal amount of all the
Initial Debentures (other than Initial Debentures held at the date of the offer
by or on behalf of the Offeror, associates or affiliates of the Offeror or
anyone acting jointly or in concert with the Offeror) are taken up and paid for
by the Offeror, the Offeror will be entitled to acquire the Initial Debentures
of those holders who did not accept the offer on the same terms as the Offeror
acquired the first 90% of the principal amount of the Initial Debentures. 

The indebtedness evidenced by this Initial Debenture, and by
all other Initial Debentures now or hereafter certified and delivered under the
Indenture, is a direct unsecured obligation of the Corporation. Each Debenture
of the same series of Debentures will rank pari passu with each other Debenture
of the same series (regardless of their actual date or terms of issue) and,
subject to statutory preferred exceptions, with all other present and future
indebtedness of the Corporation, other than Senior Indebtedness as set out in
the Indenture.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Initial Debenture, and by
all other Initial Debentures now or hereafter certified and delivered under the
Indenture shall be guaranteed by NAT US with recourse under the guarantee
limited to certain Secured Assets of NAT US as set out in the Indenture. NAT US
shall provide a security interest over the Secured Assets as security for its
guarantee obligations which shall rank in priority to all other indebtedness of
NAT US except statutory preferred exceptions in accordance with the provisions
of the Indenture. 

The principal hereof may become or be declared due and payable
before the stated maturity in the events, in the manner, with the effect and at
the times provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all holders
  of Debentures outstanding thereunder (or in certain circumstances specific series
  of Debentures) resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such
provisions and instruments signed by the holders of a specified majority of
Debentures outstanding (or specific series), which resolutions or instruments
may have the effect of amending the terms of this Initial Debenture or the
Indenture. 

	 	A - 4	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE INDENTURE 

The Indenture contains provisions disclaiming any personal
liability on the part of holders of Common Shares and officers, directors and
employees of the Corporation in respect of any obligation or claim arising out
of the Indenture or this Debenture. 

This Debenture and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion
of this Debenture have not been and will not be registered under the United
States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the securities laws of any
state of the United States. Each certificate representing Common Shares issued
to a U.S. Person, a person in the United States, or for the account or benefit
of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States upon conversion of this
Debenture shall bear a U.S. restrictive legend. 

This Initial Debenture may only be transferred, upon compliance
with the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, in one of the registers to be
kept at the principal office of the Trustee in the City of Vancouver, British
Columbia and in such other place or places and/or by such other registrars (if
any) as the Corporation with the approval of the Trustee may designate. No
transfer of this Initial Debenture shall be valid unless made on the register by
the registered holder hereof or his executors or administrators or other legal
representatives, or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee or other registrar, and upon
compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Trustee and/or other
registrar may prescribe and upon surrender of this Initial Debenture for
cancellation. Thereupon a new Initial Debenture or Initial Debentures in the
same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange
hereof. 

This Initial Debenture shall not become obligatory for any
purpose until it shall have been certified by the Trustee under the Indenture.

Capitalized words or expressions used in this Initial Debenture
shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meaning ascribed thereto in the
Indenture.

- 11 - 

Confidential Information 

8.1                    
The Executive acknowledges that: 

	 	(a) 	
      the Executive may, during the course of employment with
      the Company, acquire information which is confidential in nature or of
      great value to the Company and its subsidiaries including, without
      limitation, matters or subjects concerning corporate assets, cost and
      pricing data, customer listing, financial reports, formulae, inventions,
      know-how, marketing strategies, products or devices, profit plans,
      research and development projects and findings, computer programs,
      suppliers, and trade secrets, whether in the form of records, files,
      correspondence, notes, data, information, or any other form, including
      copies or excerpts thereof (collectively, the “Confidential
      Information”); the disclosure of any of which to competitors,
      customers, clients or suppliers of the Company, unauthorized personnel of
      the Company or to third parties would be highly detrimental to the best
      interests of the Company; and

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      the right to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential
      Information, and the right to preserve the Company’s goodwill, constitute
      proprietary rights which the Company is entitled to
  protect.

8.2                    
The Executive will, while employed with the Company and at all times
thereafter:

	 	(a) 	
      hold all Confidential Information that the Executive
      receives in trust for the sole benefit of the Company and in strictest
      confidence;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      protect all Confidential Information from disclosure and
      will not take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in
      any Confidential Information losing its character as Confidential
      Information, and will take all lawful action necessary to prevent any
      Confidential Information from losing its status as Confidential
      Information; and

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      neither, except as required in the course of performing
      duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, directly or indirectly
      use, publish, disseminate or otherwise disclose any Confidential
      Information to any unauthorized personnel of the Company or to any third
      party, nor use Confidential Information for any purpose other than the
      purposes of the Company, without the prior written consent of the Company,
      which consent may be withheld in the Company’s sole and absolute
      discretion.

8.3                    
The restrictions on the Executive’s use or disclosure of all Company
Information, as set forth in this Part 8, shall continue following the
expiration or termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company
regardless of the reasons for or manner of such termination. 

8.4                    
Notwithstanding section 8.2 herein, the Executive may, if and solely to the
extent required by lawful subpoena or other lawful process, disclose
Confidential Information but, to the extent possible, shall first notify the
Company of each such requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate
protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. The
Executive will co-operate fully with the Company at the expense of the Company
in seeking any such protective order.

PART 9 

  NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION

Non-Competition and Payments for Enforcement by the Company
during Standstill Period 

9.1                    
The Executive acknowledges that the Executive’s Services under this Agreement
are of special, unique and extraordinary character which give the Executive
value to the Company; the loss of which cannot adequately be compensated in
damages or by an action at law. In addition to, and not in limitation of any
other restrictive covenant which may be binding on the Executive, the Executive
shall not anywhere in North America and Europe, for a period of one year after
the termination of this Agreement (the “Standstill Period” herein) for
any reason in any manner whatsoever: 

	 	(a) 	
      carry on, engage in, or be concerned with or interested
      in; or

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      permit the Executive’s name or any part thereof to in any
      manner whatsoever to be used or connected with any business that is, or
      any interest in any business that is;

similar to or competitive with the business of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries. 

9.2                    
The Executive agrees that: 

	 	(a) 	
      all restrictions contained in section 9.1 herein are
      reasonable and valid in the circumstances and all defences to the strict
      enforcement thereof by the Company are hereby waived by the
    Executive;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      the remedy available to the Company at law for any breach
      by him of section 9.1 herein will be inadequate and that the Company, on
      any application to a Court, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
      injunctive relief against the Executive without the necessity of proving
      actual damage to the Company; and

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      if the foregoing covenant is found to be unreasonable to
      any extent by a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicating upon the
      validity of the covenant, whether as to the scope of the restriction, the
      area of the restriction or the duration of the restriction, then such
      restriction shall be reduced to that which is in fact declared reasonable
      by such court, or a subsequent court of competent jurisdiction, requested
      to make such a declaration.

9.3                    
Should this Agreement be terminated for any reason (in such instance on the
“Effective Date of Termination” herein) and should the Executive, during
the one year Standstill Period from the Effective Date of Termination, secure a
bona fide employment or consulting position outside of the Company (which the
Executive evidences in writing to the Company; the “Other Position”)
which may in any manner infringe the restrictions contained in section 9.1
herein, and should the Company, acting reasonably, not release the Executive
from the restrictions contained in sections 9.1 and 9.2 herein in taking such
Other Position, then, during the Standstill Period, and in order to compensate
the Executive for not being in a position to accept the Other Position, the
Company will, during the Standstill Period: 

	 	(a) 	
      continue to pay the Executive the Executive’s then Base
      Salary; and

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      continue to maintain the Executive’s then Group
      Benefits.

- 13 - 

Non-Solicitation 

9.4                   
The Executive hereby agrees that the Executive will not, during the period
commencing on the Effective Date hereof and ending one year following the
termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, be a party to or
abet any solicitation of customers, clients, referral services, consultants or
suppliers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, to transfer business from
the Company or any of its subsidiaries to any other person, or seek in any way
to persuade or entice any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to
leave that employment or to be a party to or abet any such action.

by the Company.

PART 11 

  INDEMNIFICATION AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Indemnification 

11.1                  
The Parties hereby each agree to indemnify and save harmless the other Party and
including, where applicable, the other Party’s respective subsidiaries and
affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, associates,
affiliates and agents (each such party being an “Indemnified Party”),
harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, suits,
proceedings, damages, liabilities or expenses of whatever nature or kind and
including, without limitation, any investigation expenses incurred by any
Indemnified Party, to which an Indemnified Party may become subject by reason of
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

No indemnification 

11.2                  
This indemnity will not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party in the event
and to the extent that a Court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment
shall determine that the Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or guilty of
wilful misconduct. 

- 15 - 

Claim of indemnification 

11.3                  
The Parties agree to waive any right they might have of first requiring the
Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy,
security or claim payment from any other person before claiming this indemnity.

Notice of claim 

11.4                  
In case any action is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought against either of the Parties (said Party then being the
“Indemnitee”), the Indemnified Party will give both Parties prompt
written notice of any such action of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge
and the Indemnitee will undertake the investigation and defense thereof on
behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt employment of counsel
acceptable to the Indemnified Party affected and the Indemnitee and the payment
of all expenses. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not relieve
the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee‘s obligation of indemnification hereunder
unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture by the
Indemnitee of substantive rights or defenses. 

Settlement 

11.5                  
No admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without
the consent of each of the Parties and the consent of the Indemnified Party
affected, such consent not to be unreasonable withheld. 

Legal Proceedings 

11.6                  
Notwithstanding that the Indemnitee will undertake the investigation and defense
of any action, an Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party
unless: 

	 	(a) 	
      such counsel has been authorized by the
  Indemnitee;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      the Indemnitee has not assumed the defense of the action
      within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the
      action;

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      the named parties to any such action include that any
      Party and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that
      there may be a conflict of interest between any Party and the Indemnified
      Party; or

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      there are one or more legal defenses available to the
      Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those
      available to any Party.

Contribution 

11.7                  
If for any reason other than the gross negligence or bad faith of the
Indemnified Party being the primary cause of the loss claim, damage, liability,
cost or expense, the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified
Party or insufficient to hold them harmless, the Indemnitee shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any and all
such losses, claim, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnitee on the one
hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of the
Indemnitee and the Indemnified Party and other equitable considerations which
may be relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall in any
event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost
or expense (other than a loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the
primary cause of which is the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified
Party), any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received
by the Indemnified Party hereunder.

PART 12 

  ARBITRATION

Matters for arbitration 

12.1                  
Except for matters of indemnity or in the case of urgency to prevent material
harm to a substantive right or asset, the Parties agree that all questions or
matters in dispute with respect to this Agreement shall be submitted to
arbitration pursuant to the terms hereof. This provision shall not prejudice a
Party from seeking a Court order or assistance to garnish or secure sums or to
seek summary remedy for such matters as counsel may consider amenable to summary
proceedings. 

Notice 

12.2

days’ prior written notice of its intention to do so to the other Party together
with particulars of the matter in dispute. On the expiration of such five

arbitration as provided for herein. Except for matters of indemnity or in the
case of urgency to prevent material harm to a substantive right or asset, the
Parties agree that all questions or matters in dispute with respect to this
Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the terms hereof. This

Appointments

arbitrators so named, before proceeding to act, shall, within five business days
of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator, unanimously agree on the
appointment of a third arbitrator, to act with them and be chairperson of the
arbitration herein provided for. If the other Party shall fail to appoint an
arbitrator within five business days after receiving notice of the appointment
of the first arbitrator, and if the two arbitrators appointed by the Parties
shall be unable to agree on the appointment of the chairperson, the chairperson
shall be appointed in accordance with the provisions of the British Columbia
International Commercial Arbitration Act (the “Arbitration Act”).
Except as specifically otherwise provided in this section, the arbitration
herein provided for shall be conducted in accordance with such Arbitration Act.
The chairperson, or in the case where only one arbitrator is appointed, the
single arbitrator, shall fix a time and place for the purpose of hearing the
evidence and representations of the Parties, and the chairperson shall preside
over the arbitration and determine all questions of procedure not provided for
by the Arbitration Act or this section. After hearing any evidence and
representations that the Parties may submit, the single arbitrator, or the
arbitrators, as the case may be, shall make an award and reduce the same to
writing, and deliver one copy thereof to each of the Parties. The expense of the
arbitration shall be paid as specified in the award.
