Conversion. |
(a) At any time after the Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, all or any part of the principal and interest due under this Debenture may be converted into Conversion Shares at any time and from time-to-time at the option of the Holder. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the amount of principal and interest to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”); provided that the date upon which any such conversion may be effected may not be less than 61 calendar days following the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion. If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that is 61 calendar days after such Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Company. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion within 20 business days of receipt of such notice.

(b) The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of principal and interest of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.
(c) Not later than five Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable law and those required by the Subscription Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of Debenture.
(d) |
The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to U.S.$0.03. |
(e) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock such number of shares as is necessary in order to ensure that a sufficient number are available for the purpose of issuance of Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder. The Company covenants that all Conversion Shares shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
(f) Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of any Conversion Shares, and the number of Conversion Shares shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.
