• Optional Conversion To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email, facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, NY Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company. On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (A) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the then existing provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144”) and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant the Rule 144. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.

• Casual Conversion A casual Employee, who has been engaged by the Employer on a regular and systematic basis for a period in excess of six-weeks, thereafter, will have their contract of employment converted to permanent employment unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties. Regular and systematic shall be defined as an average of 4 days or more, per week, over 6 weeks. Eligible current employees will be transitioned to full time no later than 6 weeks from the date of approval of this agreement.

• Adjustment of Conversion Price (1) The Conversion Price in effect at any date will be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided in this Article 5. (2) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, the Corporation: (a) issues Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares as a stock dividend or otherwise; (b) makes a distribution on its outstanding Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (other than an issue of Common Shares to holders of Common Shares pursuant to a right granted to such holders to receive such Common Shares in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course); (c) subdivides its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or (d) reduces, combines or consolidates its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, (any of such events in subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) being called a “Common Share Reorganization”), then the Conversion Price then in effect will be adjusted effective immediately on the effective date or record date for the happening of a Common Share Reorganization, as the case may be, at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the Common Share Reorganization, so that it will equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such effective date or record date). (3) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share to the holder (or at an exchange price or conversion price per share during the Rights Period to the holder in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares) which is less than 95% of the Current Market Price for the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period so that it will equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction: (a) the numerator of which will be the aggregate of: (i) the total number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the commencement of the Rights Offering, and (ii) a number determined by dividing (I) either (x) the product of the number of Common Shares issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon the exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered for such issue or subscription, or, as the case may be, (y) the product of the exchange price or conversion price of such securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering could have been exchanged or converted during the Rights Period, by (II) the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the commencement of the Rights Offering, and (b) the denominator of which will be the number of Common Shares outstanding, or the number of Common Shares which would be outstanding if all the exchangeable or convertible securities were exchanged for or converted into Common Shares during the Rights Period, after giving effect to the Rights Offering and including the number of Common Shares actually issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering. Any Debentureholder who has exercised the right to convert to Common Shares in accordance with Article 4 during the period beginning immediately after the record date for a Rights Offering and ending on the last day of the Rights Period for the Rights Offering will, in addition to the Common Shares to which that holder would otherwise be entitled upon such conversion, be entitled to that number of additional Common Shares equal to the result obtained when the difference, if any, between the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the end of such Rights Offering and the Conversion Price as adjusted for such Rights Offering pursuant to this Section 5.01(3) is multiplied by the number of Common Shares received upon the conversion of the Debentures held by such Holder during such period, and the resulting product is divided by the Conversion Price as adjusted for such Rights Offering pursuant to this Section 5.01(3); provided that the provisions of Section 4.03 will be applicable to any fractional interest in a Common Share to which such Holder might otherwise be entitled under the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.01(3). Such additional Common Shares will be deemed to have been issued to the Debentureholder immediately following the end of the Rights Period and a certificate for such additional Common Shares will be delivered to such Holder within 15 Business Days following the end of the Rights Period. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not so exercised on or before the expiry thereof, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based on the number of Common Shares (or the securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually delivered on the exercise of such rights, options or warrants. (4) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue or the distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of (i) securities of the Corporation, including rights, options or warrants to acquire securities of the Corporation or any of its property or assets and including cash and evidences of indebtedness; or (ii) any property or other assets, including cash and evidences of indebtedness, and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course, a Common Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering or a distribution contemplated by Section 5.01(3) (any of such non-excluded events being called a “Special Distribution”), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted effective immediately after such record date so that it will equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction: (a) the numerator of which will be: (i) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; less (ii) the fair market value, as determined by action by the Board of Directors (whose determination, subject to the consent of a Recognized Stock Exchange, will be conclusive), to the holders of Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and (b) the denominator of which will be the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date. To the extent that any Special Distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price will be readjusted effective immediately to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon such securities or property or other assets as actually distributed. (5) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding or change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities or other capital reorganization (other than a Common Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a vertical short-form amalgamation with one or more of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation 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”), any Holder of Debentures who exercises the right to convert Debentures into Common Shares pursuant to Debentures then held 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 such Holder was previously entitled upon such conversion, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property that such 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 to which such holder was previously entitled upon conversion subject, however, to any requirements necessary to ensure that the interest payable on the Debentures will be and will remain exempt from Canadian withholding tax including the requirement in effect on the date hereof for so long as such requirement is in effect that a Holder of Debentures will not be entitled to receive shares, other securities or property other than securities that are “prescribed securities” as defined in Regulation 6208 to the Income Tax Act (Canada) on or prior to five years after the date of issue of the Debentures. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Corporation will take all steps necessary to ensure that, on a Capital Reorganization, the Holders of Debentures will receive the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property to which they are 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 5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of Holders of Debentures to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 5 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 any Debenture. Prior to or concurrent with effecting a Capital Reorganization, the Corporation will enter into an indenture supplemental hereto approved by action of the Board of Directors and by the Trustee, relying on advice of counsel, that will set forth an appropriate adjustment to give effect to this Section 5.01(5), in which event such adjustment will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment, subject to any required prior consent of a Recognized Stock Exchange. (6) If the purchase price provided for in any rights, options or warrants (the “Rights Offering Price”) referred to in Sections 5.01(3) or (4) is decreased, the Conversion Price will forthwith be changed so as to decrease the Conversion Price to the Conversion Price that would have been obtained if the adjustment to the Conversion Price made under Section 5.01(3) or (4), as the case may be, with respect to such rights, options or warrants had been made on the basis of the Rights Offering Price as so decreased, provided that the terms of this Section 5.01(6) will not apply to any decrease in the Rights Offering Price resulting from terms in any such rights, options or warrants designed to prevent dilution except to the extent that the resulting decrease in the Conversion Price under this Section 5.01(6) would be greater than the decrease, if any, in the Conversion Price to be made under the terms of this Section 5.01(6) by virtue of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such decrease in the Rights Offering Price. (7) In any case in which this Section 5.01 requires that an adjustment will 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, provided, however, that the Corporation will deliver to such Holder evidence of such Holder’s right to receive such additional Common Shares upon the occurrence of such event 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 on which such Holder would, but for the provisions of this Section 5.01(7), have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares.

• Extension and Conversion Subject to the terms of Section 5.2, the Borrower shall have the option, on any Business Day, to extend existing Loans into a subsequent permissible Interest Period or to convert Loans into Loans of another interest rate type; provided, however, that (i) except as provided in Section 3.8, Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) Eurodollar Loans may be extended, and Base Rate Loans may be converted into Eurodollar Loans, only if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of extension or conversion, (iii) Loans extended as, or converted into, Eurodollar Loans shall be subject to the terms of the definition of "

• Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.

• No Adjustment of Conversion Price No adjustment in the Conversion Price of a particular series of Preferred Stock shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common unless the consideration per share (as determined pursuant to paragraph 4(d)(v)) for an Additional Share of Common issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to such issue, for such series of Preferred Stock.

• Adjustment of Conversion Rate The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder. (a) If the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula: where, CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable; CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date; OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, split or combination); and OS’ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination. Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (b) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a stockholder rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula: where, CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date; OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

• Adjustments to Conversion Price (a) If the Company shall at any time while this Debenture is outstanding subdivide the outstanding shares of its Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and if the Company shall at any time while this Debenture is outstanding combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that combination shall be proportionately increased. Except as otherwise provided below, any adjustment under this Section 5.3 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. A dividend on any security of the Company payable in Common Stock, or a split of the Company's Common Stock, shall be considered a subdivision of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 5.3 at the close of business on the record date with respect to such dividend or stock split. A reverse split of the Company's Common Stock shall be considered a combination of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 5.3 at the close of business on the record date with respect to such reverse stock split. (b) In the event the Company, at any time or from time to time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Company's Common Stock payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event, provisions shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon conversion hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company which he would have received had this Debenture been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by him. (c) If while this Debenture is outstanding, the Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock of the Company, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or other exchange (other than a subdivision or combination of shares, or a capital reorganization, merger or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this Section 5.3), the Holder shall, upon the conversion of this Debenture, be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Shares which the Holder would have become entitled to receive but for such change, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock that would have been subject to receipt by the Holder if he had exercised his right of conversion of this Debenture immediately before that change. (d) If while this Debenture is outstanding, there shall be a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such merger, consolidation or sale, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of this Debenture, during the period specified in this Debenture, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger, consolidation or sale, to which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon conversion of this Debenture would have been entitled on such merger, consolidation or sale if this Debenture had been converted immediately before such merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5.3 with respect to the rights of the Holder after such merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Section 5.3 (including adjustments of the Conversion Price then in effect and number of shares purchasable upon conversion of this Debenture) shall continue to be applicable after that event and shall be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable. (e) The Company shall promptly and in any case not later than ten (10) days after the date of any adjustment of the Conversion Price give written notice of such adjustment and the number of Shares or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered Holder at the Holder's address as shown on the Debenture Register. The certificate shall state such adjustment and show in reasonable detail the facts on which such adjustment is based. (f) The form of this Debenture need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Conversion Price or in the number of Shares issuable upon its conversion. A Debenture issued after any adjustment on any partial conversion or upon replacement may continue to express the same Conversion Price and the same number of Shares (appropriately reduced in the case of partial conversion) as are stated on this Debenture as initially issued, and that Conversion Price and that number of Shares shall be considered to have been so changed as of the close of business on the date of the adjustment.

• Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

• Adjustments to Conversion Ratios The number of Ordinary Shares that the holders of Rights are entitled to receive as a result of the occurrence of an Exchange Event shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the Ordinary Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Exchange Event.
