CONVERSION

Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price
Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 3, the Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, at any time following the receipt by the Company of required approvals of regulatory authorities, and prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, to convert such Convertible Note or any portion thereof (which is an integral multiple of $1,000) of the then outstanding principal amount thereof into fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares at the Conversion Price. The number of Common Shares shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Convertible Note being converted by the Conversion Price.
3.2
Manner of Exercise of Right to Convert
(1)
In order to exercise the Conversion Privilege, the Holder shall, within the time specified in section 3.1, surrender such Convertible Note to the Company at its principal office in the City of Vancouver accompanied by a written notice (which shall be irrevocable) in the form of the “Notice of Election to Convert” attached to this Certificate, duly signed by the Holder or the Holder’s executors, administrators or other legal representatives or the Holder’s attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Company stating:
(a)
that the Holder elects to convert the Convertible Note or a specified portion (which is an integral multiple of $100) of the then outstanding principal amount thereof;
(b)
the names (with addresses) in which the Common issuable upon such conversion are to be registered, provided that the Holder shall only be entitled to direct the registration of his entitlement to the Common Shares in a manner permitted by applicable securities legislation; and
(c)
the address or addresses to which the certificate(s) representing the Common Shares issuable upon conversion and the cheque for any amount payable under section 3.7 are to be delivered.
(2)
Upon surrender of the “Notice of Election to Convert” in accordance with section 3.2(1) above, the Holder or his permitted nominee shall be entitled to be entered in the books of the Company as at the Conversion Date, as defined below (or such later date as is specified in subsection 3.3(3)) as the Holder of the number of Common Shares into which this Convertible Note is convertible, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 3, and as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall deliver to the Holder electing to convert or, subject as aforesaid, its nominee or assignee a certificate or certificates representing the number of Common Shares comprising the number of Common Shares into which all or any portion of the principal amount hereof has been converted and, if applicable, a cheque for any amount payable under section 3.7 to the address indicated in the “Notice of Election to Convert”.
(3)
For the purposes of this Article 3, this Convertible Note shall be deemed to be surrendered for conversion on the date (the “Conversion Date”) on which it is so surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Article 3 and, if surrendered by mail or other means of delivery, on the date on which it is received by the Company, provided that if this Convertible Note is surrendered for conversion on a day on which the register of Common Shares is closed, the Person entitled to receive Common Shares shall become the holder of record of such Common Shares as at the date on which such register is next reopened and provided that if a Convertible Note is surrendered for conversion on any interest payment date such Convertible Note shall be deemed to be surrendered for conversion on such interest payment date.
(4)
In the event of any partial conversion of the Convertible Note, the Holder shall, upon the exercise of the Conversion Privilege, surrender the Convertible Note to the Company, and the Company shall cancel the same and shall, without charge, forthwith certify and deliver to the Holder a new Convertible Note in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted part of the principal amount of this Convertible Note so surrendered upon the same terms and conditions as this Convertible Note.
(5)
If this Convertible Note is surrendered for conversion in accordance with this section 3.3, the Holder shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the principal amount converted only for the period up to the Conversion Date, such interest to be paid at the time of delivery of the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion in accordance with section 2.3.
(6)
Notwithstanding anything herein contained, Common Shares will only be issued and registered upon conversion of this Convertible Note in compliance with the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that this Convertible Note is converted prior to the expiry of any applicable hold period under applicable securities legislation, the certificates representing the Common Shares thereby issued will bear such legend as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be necessary in order to avoid a violation of any securities laws of any province of Canada or the United States or to comply with the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed, provided that if, at any time, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such legends are no longer necessary in order to avoid a violation of any such laws, or the holder of any such legended certificate, at the holder’s expense, provides the Company with evidence satisfactory in form and substance to the Company (which may include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that such holder is entitled to sell or otherwise transfer such Common Shares in a transaction in which such legends are not required, such legended certificate may thereafter be surrendered to the Company in exchange for a certificate which does not bear such legend.
3.3
Adjustment of Conversion Price
If and whenever at any time after the date hereof, and prior to the Conversion Date, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding or other change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities, whether of the Company or of another body corporate, or other capital reorganization, or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporate or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity in which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or other property (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Holder who exercises the right to convert this Convertible Note pursuant to this Convertible Note after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization will be entitled to receive, and will accept for the same aggregate consideration in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was previously entitled upon such conversion, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares into which this Convertible Note was convertible immediately prior to such Capital Reorganization. The Company will take all steps necessary to ensure that, on a Capital Reorganization, the Holder will, if it exercises its conversion rights hereto, receive the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property to which it is entitled as a result of the Capital Reorganization. Appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder under this Convertible Note to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 3 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Convertible Note.
3.4
Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of Conversion Price
If within five days of receipt of an Adjustment Notice a Holder notifies the Company in writing that it disputes the content of the Adjustment Notice, or if at any time a dispute is made by a shareholder or other creditor of the Company with respect to adjustments provided for in section 3.4, such dispute will be conclusively determined by the Company’s Auditors, or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors of the Company, and any such determination will be binding upon the Company, the Holder and shareholders of the Company; such auditors or accountants will be given access to all necessary records of the Company. If any such determination is made, the Company will deliver a certificate of the Company to the Holder describing such determination.
3.5
Notice as to Adjustment
The Company shall from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in section 3.4, deliver a notice in writing (an “Adjustment Notice”) to the Holder specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment or readjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Such notice and the amount of the adjustment specified therein shall, subject to the provisions of subsection 3.5, be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest.
3.6
No Requirement to Issue Fractional Common Shares
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the conversion of all or any part of this Convertible Note pursuant to this Article 3. The number of whole Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Convertible Note shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Note so 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 the Convertible Note, the Company may, at its sole option, in lieu of delivering any certificate representing such fractional interest, satisfy such fractional interest by paying to the Holder an amount in lawful money of Canada equal (to the nearest amount) to the corresponding fraction of the value of a Common Share on the Conversion Date, determined by the directors of the Company acting in good faith which determination shall be conclusive, provided that the Company shall not be required to make any payment, calculated as aforesaid, that is less than $10.00.
3.7
Company to Reserve Shares
The Company shall at all times while any principal amount of the Convertible Note remains outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of this Convertible Note as provided in this Article 3, and conditionally allot to the Holder who may exercise its conversion rights hereunder, such number of Common Shares as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of this Convertible Note. All Common Shares which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable.
3.8
Cancellation of Converted Convertible Note
This Convertible Note when converted shall be forthwith delivered to and cancelled by the Company and no Convertible Note shall be issued in substitution therefor.
ARTICLE 4
REDEMPTION
4.1
Optional Redemption
Subject as hereinafter provided, the Company shall have the right to redeem at its option, in the manner provided for in this Article 4 and at any time after the nine-month anniversary of the Issue Date and prior to the Maturity Date, the whole or from time to time any part of the principal amount then outstanding of the Convertible Note upon payment in lawful money of Canada to the Holder of 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Note (the “Redemption Price”) together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the Redemption Date.

Notice of Redemption
Every redemption notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Note called for redemption, the date fixed for redemption, the Redemption Price and the place of payment and shall state that interest upon the principal amount of the Convertible Note called for redemption shall cease to be payable from and after the Redemption Date and that the right to convert the principal amount of the Convertible Note to be redeemed will terminate and expire at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date.
4.4
Payment of Redemption
Upon notice being given in accordance with section 4.3, the principal amount of the Convertible Note so called for redemption shall be and become due and payable at the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date and with the same effect as if it were the Maturity Date, anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding and, from and after such Redemption Date, interest upon the principal amounts so becoming due and payable shall cease unless payment of the Redemption Price shall not be made on surrender of the Convertible Note.
