19. The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Note may not be converted in the United States, or by or on behalf of a U.S. person or a person in the United States, unless an exemption is available from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and the securities laws of all applicable states, and the holder has furnished an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to such effect; provided that the Holder will not be required to deliver an opinion of counsel in connection with the due conversion of this Note by the Holder if the Holder certifies that:

	(a)	the Holder is the original holder of this Note, and, to the Holder’s knowledge, no commission or other remuneration has been paid or given, directly or indirectly, for soliciting such conversion;

	(b)	the Holder at the time of conversion of this Note was not in the United States, is not a U.S. person and is not converting this Note on behalf of, or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person or a person in the United States, and the Holder did not execute or deliver the Conversion Notice in the United States; or

	(c)	the Holder at the time of conversion of this Note is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act, and is not converting this Note as a result of any “general solicitation” or “general advertising” as those terms are used in Rule 502 of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act.

- 5 -

21. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided in section 22, as follows:

(a)	if during the Adjustment Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall:

	(i)	issue to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Shares, by way of a stock dividend or otherwise, Common Shares or Convertible Securities; or

	(ii)	subdivide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares; or

	(iii)	combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares,

(any of such events being herein called a “Common Share Reorganization”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Common Share Reorganization to a number which is the product of (1) the Conversion Price in effect on such record date and (2) a fraction:

	(iv)	the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date before giving effect to the Common Share Reorganization; and

	(v)	the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization;

	(b)	if during the Adjustment Period the Company shall issue or distribute to all or substantially all the holders of Common Shares, (i) shares of any class other than Common Shares, or (ii) rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a stock option plan or employee share purchase plan adopted by the shareholders of the Company at a general meeting of shareholders of the Company), or (iii) evidences of indebtedness, or (iv) any other assets (excluding cash dividends paid in the ordinary course) and such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization (any of such events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution to a price which is the product of (1) the Conversion Price in effect on such record date and (2) a fraction:

		(i) the numerator of which shall be the difference between:

- 6 -

	(I)	the product of (i) the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and (ii) the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) of the Common Shares on such date; and

	(II)	the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and

(ii)

the denominator of which shall be the product of (A) the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and (B) the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such date.

		Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. To the extent that such distribution of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets is not so made or to the extent that any rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon such shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed or based upon the number of Common Shares or Convertible Securities actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after such record date;

	(c)	if during the Adjustment Period there is a reorganization of the Company not otherwise provided for in subsection 21(a) or a consolidation or merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into another body corporate including a transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Company’s undertaking and assets become the property of any other corporation (any such event being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Holder, if he has not converted the entire Loan Amount prior to the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon the exercise of such right of conversion at any time after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon conversion of this Note, the aggregate number of shares or other securities or property of the Company, or such continuing, successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, under the Capital Reorganization that the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, he had been the holder of the number of Common Shares to which immediately before such transaction he was entitled upon conversion of this Note. No such Capital Reorganization shall be carried into effect unless all necessary steps shall have been taken so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive such number of shares or other securities or property of the Company, or of such continuing successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, under the Capital Reorganization, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this section 21 or section 22;

- 7 -

(d)

if the Company reclassifies or otherwise changes the outstanding Common Shares, the conversion right shall be adjusted effective immediately upon such reclassification becoming effective so that Holder shall be entitled to receive such Common Shares as he would have received had the principal amount of this Note been converted immediately prior to such effective date, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions of this Note, as nearly as may be possible as those contained in this section 21 or section 22.

22. The following rules and procedures are applicable to adjustments made pursuant to section 21:

	(a)	the adjustments and readjustments provided for in herein are cumulative and, subject to subsection 22(b), apply (without duplication) to successive issues, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations, distributions and any other events which require adjustment of the Conversion Price or the number or kind of shares or securities issuable hereunder;

	(b)	no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect, provided however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this subsection 22(b) would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment;

	(c)	no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of any event described in subsections 21(a)(i), 21(b) or 21(c) if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Holder had converted the entire Loan Amount immediately prior to the effective date or record date of such event;

	(d)	no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to subsection 21 in respect of the issue of Common Shares pursuant to:

	(i)	this Note; or

	(ii)	any stock option or purchase plan for officers, employees or directors of the Company outstanding or in existence as at the date hereof or any amendment to such plan;

and any such issue shall be deemed not to be a Common Share Reorganization or a Special Distribution.

- 8 -

	(e)	if a dispute arises with respect to adjustments of the Conversion Price, such dispute shall be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Company or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such firm of independent public accountants as may be selected by the board of directors of the Company and acceptable to the Holder and any such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the Holder; and

	(f)	if the Company sets a record date to determine the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall thereafter legally abandon its plans to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.

23. In any case where the application of the foregoing provisions results in a decrease of the Conversion Price taking effect immediately after the record date for a specific event, if the Loan Amount is converted after that record date and prior to completion of the event, the Company may postpone the issuance to the Holder of the Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled by reason of the decrease of the Conversion Price, but such Common Shares shall be so issued and delivered to the Holder upon completion of that event with the number of such Common Shares calculated on the basis of the Conversion Price on the exercise date adjusted for completion of that event. The Company shall deliver to the person or persons in whose name or names the Common Shares are to be issued an appropriate instrument evidencing his or their right to receive such Common Shares.

24. Subject to any requirement for a longer notice period pursuant to applicable securities legislation or stock exchange policy, at least 10 business days prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of any event referred to in sections 21 or 22, whether or not the event requires or might require an adjustment in the conversion rights pursuant hereto, if the Holder is not then an officer or director of the Company, the Company shall give notice to the Holder of the particulars of such event and, if determinable, any adjustment. Such notice need only set forth such particulars as shall have been determined at the date that notice is given.

25. In case any adjustment for which a notice in section 24 has been given is not then determinable, the Company shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable give notice to the Holder of the adjustment.

26. As used in this Note, the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the following meanings:

	(a)	“Adjustment Period” means the period from and including the date hereof to and including the last business day prior to the Due Date;
