taxes (but excluding any income taxes or capital gains taxes payable by the
Vendors), duties, transfer fees and other charges customarily payable in

Registration
Right
2.5
If the
Purchaser registers any of its securities under the U.S. Securities Act (other
than by a registration on Form X-0, X-0, F-4 or any successor similar forms or
any other form not available for registering “restricted securities” within the
meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act) for sale to the public,
whether or not for sale for its own account, it will each such time, at least
twenty (20) days prior to filing the registration statement, give written notice
to SEA of its intention to do so. If SEA or an Affiliate of SEA still
holds Shares that are either:
(a) “restricted
securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act;
or
(b) subject
to transfer restrictions under Rule 144 due to such shareholder’s status as an
“affiliate” of the Purchaser as defined thereunder,
(such
Shares, the “Restricted
Securities”) SEA or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall have the right,
upon the written request by it made within fifteen (15) days thereafter (which
request shall specify the Restricted Securities intended to be disposed of by
SEA or its Affiliate, as applicable, and the intended method of disposition
thereof), to request the Purchaser to register all or part of its Restricted
Securities. If so requested, the Purchaser agrees to use its
reasonable best efforts to include in such registration under the U.S.
Securities Act (if it proceeds with such registration) all Restricted Securities
which the Purchaser has been so requested to register. The Purchaser
may defer a registration of Restricted Securities for a period of not more than
180 days, but only if (i) the Purchaser furnishes to SEA or its Affiliate, as
applicable, a certificate signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Purchaser stating that, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors
of the Purchaser, effecting the requested registration would materially impede
the ability of the Purchaser to consummate a significant transaction (the 180
day deferral period beginning on the date that such certificate is sent to SEA
or its Affiliate, as applicable), and (ii) the Purchaser has not deferred a
filing during the previous 12 month period.
Securities
Matters
2.6
(a)
SEA and
the Vendors acknowledge and agree that, other than registrations pursuant to
§2.5, if any, the Securities issued pursuant to this Agreement will not be
registered under the U.S. Securities Act and that such Securities will be issued
to SEA in a private placement transaction effected in reliance on an exemption
from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in reliance on
exemptions from the qualification requirements of applicable state securities
laws.
- 8
-
(b)
SEA
agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities
issued to it unless such transfer shall be pursuant to registration under the
U.S. Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from
registration.
(c)
The
Debenture and the certificates representing the Shares issued to SEA hereunder
shall bear, in addition to any other legends required under applicable state
securities laws, a legend in substantially the following form:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED, PLEDGED,
HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, TO THE
EFFECT THAT ANY SALE OR TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES WILL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH
THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(d)
In order
to prevent any transfer from taking place in violation of this Agreement or any
applicable law, SEA and the Vendors acknowledge and agree that Purchaser may
cause a stop transfer order to be placed with Purchaser’s transfer agent with
respect to the Shares issued to SEA. Purchaser will not be required
to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or transferred in
violation of any provision of this Agreement or applicable law.
PART
3
OBLIGATIONS
OF THE PURCHASER
Obligation
to Advise of Relinquishment
3.1
From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall give SEA written notice not
less than 30 days before it relinquishes, or otherwise permits to lapse, its

being relinquished.
3.2

prevent the Purchaser from proceeding with, any option, assignment, sale, joint
venture, transfer or other divestiture of any of the Mineral Properties to any
third party, other than a relinquishment of the Leasehold Properties to the
property owner or permitting a Claim or Claims to lapse, and nothing in this

payable in quarterly payments in arrears on the last day of each calendar
quarter of each year in an amount determined by reference to the number of
days in the applicable quarter and the Principal Amount outstanding on
each such day, with the first such payment to fall due on March 31, 2010
and, for greater certainty, shall be payable before as well as after
default.

Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be
increased to 15% per annum effective as of the date of such Event of
Default. Such 15% per annum interest rate shall remain in
effect for as long as the Event of Default exists, and thereafter shall

longer exists.

Person were the beneficial owner

|
(d)

The
Holder shall not be permitted to transfer the Debenture or issue or

set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the Holder thereof
(except any equities of which the Corporation is required to take notice
by law) and all Persons may act accordingly and a permitted transferee of
the Debenture shall, after the Transfer Form is recorded by the
Corporation and upon compliance with all other conditions contained in the
Debenture or by law or by any policy of any regulatory body, be deemed to
be owner of such Debenture free from all equities or rights of set-off or
counterclaim between the Corporation and the transferor or any previous
Holder thereof, save in respect of equities of which the Corporation is
required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent
jurisdiction. Delivery to the Holder by the Corporation or the receipt by
the Holder of the principal monies and interest evidenced by the Debenture
or the Common Shares issuable on the conversion of this Debenture, if any,
shall be a good discharge to the Corporation of its obligations hereunder
and the Corporation shall not be bound to enquire into the title of the
Holder, save as ordered by a Court of competent jurisdiction or as
required by statute.

Replacement
of Debenture
If the
Debenture shall
become mutilated or be lost, stolen or destroyed and in the absence of notice
that such Debenture has been acquired by a purchaser in good faith, the
Corporation will issue 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. In
case of loss, theft or destruction, the applicant for a new Debenture shall
furnish to the Corporation such evidence of such loss, theft or destruction as
shall be satisfactory to the Corporation in its discretion and shall also
furnish an indemnity in amount and form satisfactory to the Corporation, acting
reasonably. The applicant shall pay all reasonable expenses incidental to the
issuance of any such new Debenture.
2.7
Application
of Funds
Any
monies that are paid, from time to time, to the Holder pursuant to this
Debenture shall be applied firstly, to indebtedness hereunder other than on
account of interest and principal; secondly, on account of accrued and unpaid
interest; and thirdly, to any outstanding Principal Amount.

The
conversion price for each Common Share to be issued upon the conversion of
the Debenture is $1.00, subject to adjustment as provided in this Article
3 (the "Conversion
Price").
|
(b)
|
Subject
to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 3, the Holder
of the Debenture shall have the right, at its option, at any time after
the thirtieth (30th)
day prior to the Time of Expiry, to convert such Debenture, or any portion
of the Principal Amount thereof which is $10,000 or an integral multiple
of $10,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest, into Common Shares at the
Conversion Price (an "Optional
Conversion").
|
J -

(c)
|
The
number of Common Shares to be issued to the Holder upon an Optional
Conversion shall be determined by dividing the amount to be converted by
the Conversion Price.
|
(d)

In
the event of an Optional Conversion, the accrued and unpaid interest on
the converted portion of the Principal Amount of the Debenture will be
paid in cash (and/or Common Shares in accordance with Subsection 3.1(b))

Conversion.
|
3.2
Manner
of Exercise of Right to Convert
(a)
|
The
Holder of the Debenture wishing to convert such Debenture in whole or in
part into Common Shares as an Optional Conversion shall provide to the
Corporation, at its office in the City of Lima, Peru, written notice (an
"Option Conversion Notice") in form and substance satisfactory to the
Corporation, acting reasonably, substantially in the form of Exhibit "2"
annexed hereto, duly executed by the Holder, its legal representatives or
its attorney duly appointed by an instrument in form and substance
satisfactory to the Corporation, acting reasonably, exercising its right
to convert such Debenture in accordance with the provisions of this
Article 3. Thereupon the Holder or, subject to payment of all
applicable stamp taxes, security transfer taxes or other governmental
charges and compliance with all reasonable requirements of the
Corporation, its nominee or assignee, shall be entitled to be entered in
the books of the Corporation as at the Date of Conversion (or such later
date as is specified in Subsection 3.2(b)) as the registered holder of the
number of Common Shares so converted in accordance with the provisions
hereof and within five Business Days thereafter, the Corporation shall
deliver to the Holder or, subject as aforesaid, its nominee or assignee,
certificates for such Common Shares and a cheque for any amounts payable
under Section 2.2, Subsection 3.1(d) or Section
3.5.
|
(b)
|
For
the purposes hereof, an Option Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be
received by the Corporation on the date (the "Date of Conversion") of
deemed receipt in accordance with Section 7.1 of this Agreement, provided
that if the Option Conversion Notice is deemed to have been received 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.
|
(c)
|
Any
part, being $10,000 or an integral multiple thereof plus accrued interest,
of the Debenture may be converted as provided herein and all references in
this Debenture to conversion of the Debenture shall be deemed to include
conversion of such parts.
|
(d)
|
The
Common Shares issued upon conversion shall rank equally with all other
issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the Date of Conversion or such
later date as such Holder shall become the holder of record of such Common
Shares pursuant to Subsection 3.2(b), from which applicable date they will
for all purposes be and be deemed to be issued and outstanding as fully
paid and non-assessable Common
Shares.
|
3.3
Adjustment
of Conversion Price
The
Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events
and in the manner provided as follows:
J -
9
(a)
|
If
and whenever at any time after the date hereof, and prior to the Time of
Expiry, the Corporation:
|
(i)
|
subdivides,
re-divides or changes its then outstanding Common Shares into a greater
number of Common Shares;
|
(ii)
|
reduces,
combines or consolidates its then outstanding Common Shares into a lesser
number of Common Shares; or
|
(iii)
|
issues
Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common
Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding
Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or other
distribution,
|
(any of
such events in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Subsection 3.3(a) being
called a "Common Share
Reorganization"), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted effective
immediately after the effective date of any such event in clauses (i) or (ii)
above or record date at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for
the purpose of any such dividend or distribution in clause (iii) above, as the
case may be, by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such effective date or record date, as the case may be, by a fraction, the
numerator of which will be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such
effective date or record date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such
Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which will be the 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, subject to
amendment such that after expiry of rights of exchange or conversion only those
Common Shares actually issued on exchange or conversion are
included).
(b)
|
If
and whenever at any time after the date hereof, and prior to the Time of
Expiry the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue of rights,
options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of Common
Shares (the "Rights") under which
such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days
after the date of such issue (the "Rights Period"), to
subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable into Common Shares (each, a "Convertible Security")
at a price per share (or having a conversion, exercise or exchange price
per share during the Rights Period to the holder in the case of securities
exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares) of less than 85% of
the Current Market Price (as defined below) on the earlier of the record
date and the date on which the Corporation announces its intention to make
such issuance (any such issuance being herein called a "Rights Offering"), then the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted, subject to acceptance of the Principal
Market, if required, effective immediately after the end of the Rights
Period to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date by a
fraction:
|
(i)
|
the
numerator of which will be the aggregate
of:
|
(A)
|
the
total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the record
date for the Rights Offering; plus
|
(B)
|
a
number determined by dividing (a) the product of the total 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 (or
in the case of securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into
equity securities, assuming the conversion, exercise or exchange of such
securities), and the price at which such Common Shares are offered,
converted, exercised or exchanged, as applicable, by (b) the Current
Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights
Offering, and
|
J -
10
(ii)
|
the
denominator of which will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding
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
(or in the case of securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable
into equity securities, the Common Shares issuable upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange of such
securities).
|
For the
purposes of this Subsection 3.3(b), "Current Market Price", at any date, means the
last closing price per Common Share at which the Common Shares have traded: (a)
on the Principal Market; or (b) if the Common Shares are not quoted on the
Principal Market, on any stock exchange or over the counter market upon which
the Common Shares are then listed or quoted for trading, (in either case on
which at least 500
Common Shares are traded in board lots). In the case of any Rights Offering that
includes more than one type of security, adjustments shall only be made in
respect of those types of securities actually sold and which are issued or
issuable at less than 85% of the Current Market Price and separate and
successive calculations shall be made in respect of each such type of
security.
If the
Holder has exercised the right to convert the Principal Amount of the Debenture
(or any portion thereof) into Common Shares in accordance with this Article 3
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, the Holder will, in addition to the Common Shares to which the Holder
would otherwise be entitled upon such conversion, be entitled to that number of
additional Common Shares equal to the difference between the number of Common
Shares received on such conversion and the number of Common Shares that would
have been received if the Conversion Price, as adjusted for such Rights Offering
pursuant to this Subsection 3.3(b), had applied when the Holder exercised the
right to convert; provided that the provisions of Section 3.5 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 Subsection 3.3(b).
Such additional Common Shares will be deemed to have been issued to the Holder
immediately following the end of the Rights Period and certificates for such
additional Common Shares will be delivered to such Holder within five 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.
(c)
|
If
and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Time of
Expiry, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue or the
distribution to holders of all or substantially all the then outstanding
Common Shares of (i) securities of the Corporation, including rights,
options or warrants to acquire securities of the Corporation (other than
those referred to in Subsection 3.3(b) above) or (ii) any property or
other assets, including evidences of indebtedness, and if such issuance or
distribution does not constitute a dividend paid in the ordinary course, a
Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded
events being called a "Special Distribution"),
the Conversion Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after such
record date to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in
effect on such record date by a
fraction:
|
J -
11
(i)
|
the
numerator of which will be:
|
(A)
|
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
|
(B)
|
subject
to the prior written consent of the Principal Market, if applicable, the
excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value, as determined by action by
the Corporation's board of directors (whose determination 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 over (b) the fair market value of the consideration received
therefore by
the Corporation from the holders of Common Shares, as determined by the
Corporation's board of directors (whose determination will be conclusive);
and
|
(ii)
|
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.
(d)
|
If
and whenever at any time after the date hereof, and prior to the Time of
Expiry, there is a capital reorganization of the Corporation or a
reclassification or other change in the Common Shares at any time
outstanding (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 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
Securities), or a transfer of all or substantially all of the
Corporation's undertaking and assets 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 the Debenture into Common Shares pursuant
to the Debenture 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, warrants, other securities or other property or cash
which 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 to adjustment
thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly possible, as
those contained in this Article 3. The Corporation will take all steps
necessary to ensure that, on a Capital Reorganization, the Holder will
receive the aggregate number of shares, warrants, other securities or
other property or cash 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 of the Debenture 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, warrants, other
securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of
any Debenture.
|
J -
12
Subject
to the prior written consent of the Principal Market, if applicable, any such
adjustment will be made by and set forth in an instrument supplemental hereto
approved by action of the board of directors of the Corporation and will for all
purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
(e)
|
If
the purchase price provided for in any rights, options or warrants (the
"Rights Offering
Price") referred to in Subsections 3.3(b) or 3.3(c) 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 such Subsections, 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 Subsection 3.3(e) 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 Subsection 3.3(e)
would be greater than the decrease, if any, in the Conversion Price to be
made under the terms of this Section 3.3 by virtue of the occurrence of
the event giving rise to such decrease in the Rights Offering
Price.
|
(f)
|
In
any case in which this Section 3.3 requires that an adjustment 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 shall deliver to such Holder an
appropriate instrument evidencing 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 Subsection 3.3(f), have become the holder of record
of such additional Common Shares pursuant to Subsection
3.2(a).
|
3.4
Rules
Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of Conversion Price
For the
purposes of Section 3.3:
(a)
|
The
adjustments provided for in Section 3.3 are cumulative and will be
computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and will be made
successively whenever an event referred to therein occurs, subject to the
remaining provisions of this Section
3.3.
|
(b)
|
No
adjustment in the Conversion Price will be required unless such adjustment
would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Conversion
Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the
provisions of this Subsection 3.4(b), would otherwise have been required
to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment.
|
(c)
|
No
adjustment in the Conversion Price will be made in respect of any event
described in Section 3.3 if the Holder is entitled to participate (and did
so participate) in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if
it had converted its Debenture prior to or on the effective date or record
date of such event. Any such participation will be subject to the prior
consent of the Principal Market on which the Common Shares are listed or
quoted for unlisted trading
privileges, or were listed in the year prior to the occurrence of the
event described in this Subsection 3.4(c), if
applicable.
|
J -
13
(d)
|
If
at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in
Section 3.3, subject to the prior written consent of the Principal Market,
if applicable, such dispute will be conclusively determined by a firm of
independent chartered accountants (who may be the Corporation's auditors)
and any such determination will be binding upon the Corporation, the
Holder and shareholders of the
Corporation.
|
(e)
|
If
the Corporation sets a record date to take any action and thereafter and
before the taking of such action, legally abandons its plan to take such
action, then no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be
made.
|
(f)
|
In
the absence of a resolution of the Corporation's board of directors fixing
a record date for a Capital Reorganization, Special Distribution or Rights
Offering, the Corporation shall be deemed to have fixed as a record date
therefor the date on which the Capital Reorganization, Special
Distribution or Rights Offering is
affected.
|
3.5
No
Requirement to Issue Fractional Shares
The
Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the
conversion of the Debenture. If more than one Debenture is converted 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 the
Debentures to be converted plus accrued interest. If any fractional interest in
a Common Share, would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.5, be
deliverable upon any conversion of the Debenture, the Corporation shall, in lieu
of delivering any certificate of such fractional interest, satisfy such
fractional interest by paying to the Holder an amount in lawful money of the
United States of America equal to the value of such fractional interest based
upon the Closing Market Price of the Common Shares on the Business Day preceding
the Date of Conversion.
3.6
Corporation
to Reserve Shares
The
Corporation covenants 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 the Debenture as provided
herein, and conditionally issue to the Holder who may exercise its conversion
rights hereunder, such number of Common Shares as shall then be issuable upon
the conversion of the Debenture. All Common Shares which shall be so issuable
shall be duly and validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable.
3.7
Cancellation
of Converted Debenture
The
Debenture, upon conversion in whole of the Debenture shall be forthwith
cancelled by the Corporation and, subject to Subsection 3.2(c), no Debenture
shall be issued in substitution therefor. Upon any partial conversion of this
Debenture, concurrently with the issuance to the Holder of the Common Shares
issued in connection with such conversion, this Debenture shall be cancelled and
a new Debenture shall be issued to the Holder in the same form but showing the
remaining outstanding Principal Amount owing.
J -
14
3.8
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 3.3,
deliver a certificate of an officer of the Corporation to the Holder specifying
the nature of the event requiring the same and certifying 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. Except in respect of any subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination
or consolidation of the Common Shares, the Corporation shall forthwith give
notice to the Holder specifying the event requiring such adjustment or
readjustment and the amount thereof, including the resulting Conversion Price;
provided that if the Corporation has given notice under Section 3.9 covering all
the relevant facts in respect of such event, no such notice need be given under
this Section 3.8.
3.9
Notice
of Special Matters
The
Corporation covenants that, so long as the Debenture remains outstanding, it
will give notice to the Holder of its intention to fix a record date for any
event referred to in Subsections 3.3(a), 3.3(b), 3.3(c) or 3.3(d) (other than
the subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation of Common
Shares) or a cash dividend (other than a dividend paid in the ordinary course)
which may give rise to an adjustment in the Conversion Price, and 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 prior to the applicable record
date.

as hereinafter provided, the Corporation shall have the right to redeem at its
option, in the manner provided for in this Article 4 and at any time after the
Date of Issue and prior to the Maturity Date, but subject to the Holder’s rights

(30th) day
before the Time of Expiry, in whole but not in part, the Principal Amount then
outstanding of the Debenture upon payment in lawful money of the United States

and unpaid interest to and including the Redemption Date. The Corporation shall
give not less than 15 days' prior written notice (the "Redemption Notice") of the
Corporation's election to redeem such Principal Amount to the
Holder.
4.2

4.3
Notice
of Redemption
The
Redemption Notice shall specify the Redemption Date (which shall be no more than
forty-five (45) days from the date of the Redemption Notice) and the place of
payment and shall state that interest upon the Redemption Price shall cease to be
payable from and after the Redemption Date.
4.4
Payment
of Redemption Price
Upon
notice being given in accordance with Sections 4.1, 4.3 and 7.2, the Redemption
Price together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount to be redeemed to
and including the Redemption Date, shall be and become due and payable 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 Amount so becoming due and
payable shall cease unless payment of the Redemption Price together with accrued
and unpaid interest to, but excluding the Redemption Date, shall not be
made.

Cancellation
of Redeemed Debenture
This
Debenture, upon redemption in full by the Corporation pursuant to this Article
4, shall be forthwith cancelled by the Corporation and not
re-issued.
