The register referred to in this Section shall at all reasonable times be open for inspection by the Corporation, by the Trustee and by any Debentureholder.

The holder of a Debenture may at any time and from time to time have such Debenture transferred at any of the places at which a register is kept pursuant to the provisions of this Section, in accordance with such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe and all applicable Securities Laws.
 
Neither the Corporation nor the Trustee nor any registrar shall be required:

Except in the case of the register required to be kept at the City of Calgary, the Corporation shall have the power at any time to close any register upon which the registration of any Debenture appears and in that event it shall transfer the records thereof to another existing register or to a new register and thereafter such Debentures shall be deemed to be registered on such existing or new register, as the case may be.

Persons Entitled to Payment
 
2.8          The person in whose name any Debenture shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the owner thereof for all purposes of this indenture and payment of or on account of the principal on such Debenture shall be made only to or upon the order in writing of such holder thereof and such payment shall be a good and sufficient discharge to the Trustee and any registrar and to the Corporation and any paying agent for the amounts so paid. As interest on Debentures accrues (except interest payable at maturity or on redemption which may be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Debentures for payment), the Corporation either directly through the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee, at least three days prior to each date on which interest on such Debentures becomes due, shall forward or cause to be forwarded by prepaid post, to the holder for the time being, at his address appearing on the register hereinbefore mentioned, or in the case of joint holders, to the one whose name appears first on such register, a cheque for such interest (less any tax required by law to be deducted) payable to the order of such holder or holders and negotiable at par at each of the places at which interest upon such Debentures is expressed to be payable. The forwarding of such cheque shall satisfy and discharge the liability for the interest on such Debentures to the extent of the sum or sums represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax deducted as aforesaid) unless such cheque be not paid on presentation; provided that in the event of the non-receipt of such cheque by the holder, or the loss or destruction thereof, the Corporation, upon being furnished with reasonable evidence of such non-receipt, loss or destruction and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, shall issue to such holder a replacement cheque.
 
The holder for the time being of any Debenture shall be entitled to the principal monies and interest evidenced by such Debenture, free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the original or any intermediate holder thereof, and all persons may act accordingly and a transferee of a Debenture shall, after an appropriate form of transfer is lodged with the Trustee or other registrar and upon compliance with all other conditions in that behalf required by this indenture or by any conditions contained in such Debenture or by law, including Securities Laws, be entitled to be entered on any of the appropriate registers as the owner of such Debenture free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and his 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 Corporation by a Debentureholder of a Debenture or the receipt of such holder for the principal monies and interest evidenced by such Debenture, respectively, shall be a good and sufficient discharge to the Corporation, which shall not be bound to enquire into the title of such holder, save as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by statute. Neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor any registrar shall be bound to see to the execution of any trust affecting the ownership of any Debenture nor be affected by notice of any equity that may be subsisting in respect thereof.
 
 
10.
 
Where Debentures are registered in more than one name the principal monies and interest from time to time payable in respect thereof may be paid by cheque payable to the order of all such holders, failing written instruction from them to the contrary, and such payment shall be a valid discharge to the Trustee and any registrar and to the Corporation and any paying agent.
 
In the case of the death of one or more joint holders, the principal monies of and interest on any Debentures may be paid to the survivor or survivors of such registered holders whose receipt thereof shall constitute a valid discharge to the Trustee and any registrar and to the Corporation and any paying agent.
 
Mutilation, Loss, Theft or Destruction
 
2.9   In case any of the Debentures issued hereunder shall become mutilated or be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation, in its discretion, may issue, and thereupon the Trustee shall certify and deliver, a new Debenture upon surrender or cancel-lation of the mutilated Debenture, or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Debenture, in lieu of and in substitution for the same, and the substituted Debenture shall be in a form approved by the Trustee and shall be entitled to the benefits of this indenture equally with all other Debentures issued or to be issued hereunder without preference or priority one over another. In the case of loss, theft or destruction, the applicant for a substituted Debenture shall furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustee such evidence of such loss, theft or destruction as shall be satisfactory to them in their discretion and shall also furnish an indemnity satisfactory to them in their discretion. The applicant shall pay all reasonable expenses incidental to the issuance of any substituted Debenture.
 
Trustee Not Bound to Make Enquiries
 
2.10  The Trustee, prior to the certification and delivery of any Debentures under any of the provisions of this Section, shall not be bound to make any enquiry or investigation as to the correctness of the matters set out in any of the resolutions, opinions, certificates or other documents required by the provisions of this indenture, but shall be entitled to accept and to act upon the said resolutions, opinions, certificates and other documents. The Trustee may nevertheless, in its discretion, require further proof in cases where it deems further proof is desirable.

Redemption of Debentures
 
3.1   Subject to the provisions of Subsection 3.2, the Debentures shall be redeemable, without penalty or bonus, prior to maturity, in whole or in part at the option of the Corporation if the twenty (20) day average trading price of the Corporation's Common Shares on the Exchange is equal to or greater than 200% of the Conversion Price (in the manner hereinafter provided and in accordance with and subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth) at prices equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Debentures, or part thereof, so redeemed to the date fixed for redemption (the applicable price, including accrued and unpaid interest, at which Debentures may be redeemed being hereinafter referred to as the “redemption price”).

The Debentures so to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Trustee or on a pro-rata basis or in such other manner as the Trustee may deem equitable. For this purpose, the Trustee may make, and from time to time amend, regulations with regard to the manner in which such Debentures may be so selected and regulations so made shall be valid and binding upon all holders of Debentures notwithstanding the fact that, as a result thereof, one or more of such Debentures become subject to redemption in part only.
 
Debentures in denominations in excess of $1,000.00 may be selected and called for redemption in part only (such part being $1,000.00 on an integral multiple thereof) and unless the context otherwise requires, references to Debentures in this Section 3 shall be deemed to include any such part of the principal amount of Debentures which shall have been so selected and called for redemption. The holder of any Debenture called for redemption in part only, upon surrender of such Debenture for payment, shall be entitled to receive, without expense to such holder, one or more new Debentures for the unredeemed part of the Debenture so surrendered, and the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall certify and deliver, at the expense of the Corporation, such new Debenture or Debentures upon receipt from the paying agent of the Debenture so surrendered.

The notice of redemption shall, unless all of the Debentures then outstanding are to be redeemed and, in case a Debenture is to be redeemed in part only, shall specify that part of the principal amount thereof so to be redeemed, and shall specify the redemption date, the redemption price and place(s) of payment and shall state that all interest thereon shall cease from and after such redemption date.

12.
 
Debentures Due on Redemption Dates
 
3.4   Upon notice having been given as aforesaid, all the Debentures so called for redemption and which are not converted shall thereupon be and become due and payable at the redemption price, on the redemption date specified in such notice, in the same manner and with the same effect as if it were the date of maturity specified in such Debentures, anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and from and after such redemption date, if the monies necessary to redeem such Debentures shall have been deposited as hereinafter provided and affidavits or other proof satisfactory to the Trustee as to the mailing of such notices shall have been lodged with it, such Debentures shall not be considered as outstanding hereunder and interest upon such Debentures shall cease to accrue after said date.
 
In case any question shall arise as to whether any notice has been given as above provided and any such deposit made, such question shall be decided by the Trustee whose decision shall be final and binding upon all interested parties.
 
Deposit of Redemption Monies
 
3.5   Upon Debentures having been called for redemption as hereinbefore provided, the Corporation shall deposit with the Trustee or any paying agent to the order of the Trustee, on or before the redemption date fixed in the notice of the redemption thereof, such sums as may be sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Debentures so to be redeemed, together with the estimated charges and expenses to be incurred in connection with such redemption. From the sums so deposited, the Trustee shall pay or cause to be paid to the holders of such Debentures so called for redemption, upon surrender of such Debentures, the principal and interest to which they are respectively entitled on redemption.
 
Failure to Surrender Debentures Called for Redemption
 
3.6   In case the holder of any such Debentures so called for redemption shall within thirty (30) days from the date fixed for redemption fail so to surrender any of his Debentures or shall not within such time accept payment of the redemption monies payable in respect thereof or give such receipt therefor, if any, as the Trustee may require, such redemption monies shall be set aside in trust for such holder, at such rate of interest as the depositary may allow, either in the deposit department of the Trustee or in a chartered bank in Canada and such setting aside shall for all purposes be deemed a payment to the Debentureholder of the sum so set aside, and to that extent such Debentures shall thereafter not be considered as outstanding hereunder and the Debentureholder shall have no right except to receive payment out of the monies so paid and deposited upon surrender and delivery up of his Debenture or Debentures of the redemption price of such Debenture or Debentures, plus such interest thereof, if any, as the depositary may allow.
 
 
13.
 
Cancellation and Destruction of Debentures
 
3.7   All Debentures so redeemed under this Section and all Debentures purchased by the Corporation under this Section shall forthwith be delivered to the Trustee and shall be cancelled by it and no Debentures shall be issued in substitution therefor.
 
All matured Debentures of which the Corporation may be able to regain possession shall likewise be delivered to the Trustee and cancelled by it and no Debentures shall be issued in substitution therefor.
 
Surrender of Debentures for Cancellation
 
3.8   If the principal monies due upon any Debenture issued hereunder shall become payable by redemption or otherwise before the date of maturity thereof, the person presenting such Debenture for payment must surrender the same for cancellation, the Corporation nevertheless paying or causing to be paid the interest accrued and unpaid thereon (computed on a per diem basis if the date fixed for payment is not an interest due date).
 
SECTION 4  - CONVERSION OF DEBENTURES
 
Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price
 
4.1   Upon and subject to the provisions and conditions of this Section, the holder of each Debenture shall have the right, at his option, at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of December 15th, 2004, or, if such Debenture be previously called for redemption, the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption of such Debenture (such time and date in this Section being referred to as the “Time of Expiry”), to convert the whole or, in the case of a Debenture of a denomination in excess of One Thousand ($1,000.00) Dollars any part which is a minimum of One Thousand ($1,000.00) Dollars, of the principal amount of such Debenture plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon into Common Shares of the Corporation at the Conversion Price in effect on the Date of Conversion.
 
Such right of conversion shall extend only to the maximum number of whole Common Shares into which the aggregate principal amount of the Debenture or Debentures surrendered for conversion plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at any one time by the holder thereof may be converted in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section. Fractional interests in Common Shares shall be adjusted for in the manner provided in Subsection 4.5.

Manner of Exercise of Right to Convert
 
4.3   The holder of a Debenture desiring to convert such Debenture in whole or in part into Common Shares shall prior to the Time of Expiry, surrender such Debenture to the Trustee at its principal office in the City of Calgary, together with the written notice, substantially in the form of the Schedule attached hereto (the “Conversion Notice”) or any other written notice in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, in either case duly executed by the holder or his executors, administrators, successors, other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee, exercising his right to convert such Debenture in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Thereupon such Debentureholder shall be entitled to be entered in the books of the Corporation as at the Date of Conversion as the holder of the number of Common Shares into which such Debenture is convertible in accordance with the provisions of this Section and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the Corporation shall deliver to such Debentureholder a certificate or certificates for such Common Shares.
 
For the purposes of this Section 4, a Debenture shall be deemed to be surrendered for conversion on the date (herein called “Date of Conversion”) on which it is so surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section and, in the case of a Debenture so surrendered by post or other means of transmission, on the date on which it is received by the Trustee; provided that if a Debenture is surrendered for conversion on a day on which the register of Common Shares is closed, the person or persons entitled to receive Common Shares shall become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares as at the date on which such registers are next reopened.
 
Any part, being a minimum of One Thousand ($1,000.00) Dollars, of a Debenture of a denomination in excess of One Thousand ($1,000.00) Dollars may be converted as provided in this Section and all references in this indenture to conversion of Debentures shall be deemed to include conversion of such portions.
 
 
15.
 
The holder of any Debenture of which part only is converted shall, upon the exercise of his right of conversion, surrender the said Debenture to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall cancel the same and shall without charge forthwith certify and deliver to the holder a new Debenture or Debentures in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted part of the principal amount of the Debenture so surrendered.
 
Upon the surrender of a Debenture for conversion in accordance with this Section, the holder shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the principal amount of the Debenture so converted up to the Date of Conversion of the Debenture and the Common Shares issued upon such conversion shall rank only in respect of dividends declared in favour of shareholders of record on and after the Date of Conversion or such later date as such holder shall become the holder of record of such Common Shares pursuant to this Subsection 4.3, 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.
 
Adjustment of Conversion Price
 
4.4   The Conversion Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
4.4.1 if and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, or (iii) issue Common Shares, or securities convertible into or exchangeable into Common Shares of the Corporation to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend other than a dividend paid in the ordinary course, the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend, as the case may be, shall in the case of events referred to in clauses (i) and (iii) above be decreased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision or dividend, (including, in the case where securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares are issued, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been converted into or exchanged for Common Shares on such effective date) or shall, in the case of events referred to in clause (ii) above, be increased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation, in each such case so that upon a subsequent conversion of the principal amount of any Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof the holder shall receive the same number of Common Shares that it would have owned immediately following such event if it had converted such principal amount of the Debenture immediately prior to such event. The proportion shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price times a fraction the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the date of such events. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Subsection 4.4 shall occur. Any issue of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares for the purposes of this Section; to the extent that any such securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares are not converted into or exchanged for Common Shares prior to the expiration of a conversion or exchange right, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted effective as at the date of such expiration to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued on the exercise of such conversion or exchange right;
 
 
16.
 
 
4.4.2 in the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation other than a subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner as the board of directors, with the approval of the Trustee, determines to be appropriate on a basis consistent with this Subsection 5.4;
 
4.4.3 in any case in which this Subsection 5.4 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event or until the time that particulars of any possible re-adjustment of the Conversion Price are determinable hereunder, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event or determination, issuing to the holder of any Debenture, in the case of a conversion of the principal amount of the Debenture (or a portion thereof) after such record date or effective date and before the occurrence of such event or time at which a possible readjustment of the Conversion Price is determinable, the additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; 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 the event requiring such adjustment or the final determination of any possible readjustment to the Conversion Price being made and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Common Shares to which the Debentureholder is ultimately determined to be entitled to declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares on and after the Date of Conversion or such later date as such holder would, but for the provision of this paragraph 4.4.3, have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares;
 
 
17.
 
 
4.4.4 the adjustments provided for in this Subsection 5.4 are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment of the Conversion Price under the provisions of this Section. No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one (1%) per cent in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph 4.4.4 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment;
 
4.4.5 in the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Subsection 5.4, such question shall be conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants appointed by the Corporation and acceptable to the Trustee (who may be the Auditors of the Corporation); such accountants shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation and such determination shall be binding upon the Corporation, the Trustee and the Debentureholders;
 
4.4.6 if and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry reclassification of the Common Shares, reorganization, consolidation, merger, arrangement or amalgamation of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity or person or a sale or conveyance whereby all or substantially all of the Corporation's undertaking and assets would become the property of any body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity or person, the holders of Debentures, if they have not exercised their right of conversion under Subsection 4.1 prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, arrangement, amalgamation or sale shall, upon any such conversion at any time thereafter, be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which they were theretofore entitled upon conversion, the aggregate number of Common Shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity or person resulting from the reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, arrangement or amalgamation or to which such sale may be made, as the case may be, that the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, arrangement, amalgamation or sale if, on the record date or effective date thereof, as the case may be, the holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which it was theretofore entitled upon conversion.
 
 
18.
 
No Requirement to Issue Fractional Common Shares
 
4.5   The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the conversion of Debentures pursuant to this Section 4. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be deliverable upon the conversion of all or any principal amount of any Debenture, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering any certificate or certificates of such fractional interest, satisfy such fractional interest by paying to the holder an amount in lawful money of Canada equal (computed to the nearest cent) to the appropriate fraction of the value, being the last reported sale price or, if none, the mean between the closing bid and ask quotations on the Exchange or if the Common Shares are not then listed on the Exchange, on such stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed as may be selected for such purpose by the directors or, if the Common Shares are not listed on any stock exchange, the current market price of a Common Share on the business day next preceding the Date of Conversion.
 
Corporation to Reserve Shares
 
4.6   The Corporation covenants with the Trustee that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Shares, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of Debentures as in this Section provided, such number of Common Shares as shall then be issuable upon the full conversion of all outstanding Debentures. The Corporation covenants with the Trustee that all Common Shares which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable.
 
Cancellation of Converted Debentures
 
4.7   All Debentures converted in whole or in part pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be forthwith delivered to and cancelled by the Trustee and, subject to the provisions of Subsection 5.3, no Debenture shall be issued in substitution therefor.
 
 
19.
 
 
Certificate as to Adjustment
 
4.8   The Corporation shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Subsection 5.4, deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate and the amount of the adjustment specified therein shall be verified by an opinion of a firm of chartered accountants appointed by the Corporation and acceptable to the Trustee (who may be the Auditors of the Corporation) and, when approved by the Trustee, shall be conclusive and binding on all interested parties. When so approved, the Corporation shall, except in respect of any subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation of the Common Shares, forthwith give notice to the Debentureholders in the manner provided in Subsection 12.2 specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof, including the resulting Conversion Price; provided that, if the Corporation has given notice under Subsection 5.9 covering all the relevant facts in respect of such event and if the Trustee approves, no such notice need be given under this Subsection 5.8.
 
Notice of Special Matters
 
4.9   The Corporation covenants with the Trustee that so long as any Debenture remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Trustee and to the Debentureholders in the manner provided in Section 12, of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in Subsection 5.4 (other than the subdivision or consolidation of its Common Shares) which may give rise to an adjustment in the Conversion Price, and, in each case, such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event; and, if prepared or available as at the date that such notice is required to be given pursuant to this Subsection 4.9, such shall be accompanied by the material (i.e. proxy circular, information booklets etc.) sent to the holders of Common Shares in respect of the event in question; 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 fourteen (14) days in each case prior to such applicable record date.
 
Notice of Rights Issue
 
4.10         If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry the Corporation proposes to issue subscription warrants or other rights to the holders of its Common Shares generally to purchase shares or other securities of the Corporation, the Corporation shall so notify each holder of a Debenture at least fourteen (14) days prior to the date fixed by the Corporation as the record date in connection with the issue of such subscription warrants or other rights to purchase shares or securities.
 
 
20.
 
 
Protection of Trustee
 
4.11  Subject to Subsection 13.3, the Trustee:
 
4.11.1 shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Debentureholder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment in the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same;
 
4.11.2 shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares or of any shares or other securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Debenture; and
 
4.11.3 shall not be responsible for any failure of the Corporation to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver Common Shares or share certificates upon the surrender of any Debenture for the purpose of conversion, or to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Section.

provided that no act or omission either of the Trustee or of the Debentureholders in the premises shall extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect any subsequent Event of Default or the rights resulting therefrom.
 
Enforcement by the Trustee
 
7.4   Subject to the provisions of Subsection 8.3 and to the provisions of any extraordinary resolution that may be passed by the Debentureholders, in case the Corporation shall fail to pay to the Trustee, forthwith after the same shall have been declared to be due and payable under Subsection 8.1, the principal and interest on all Debentures then outstanding, together with any other amounts due hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion and shall upon receipt of a request in writing signed by the holders of not less than twenty five (25%) per cent in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding and upon being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred, proceed in its name as Trustee hereunder to obtain or enforce payment of the said principal and interest on all of the Debentures then outstanding, together with any other amounts due hereunder, by such proceedings authorized by this indenture or by law or equity as the Trustee in such request shall have been directed to take, or if such request contains no such direction, or if the Trustee shall act without such request, then by such proceedings authorized by this indenture or by suit at law or in equity as the Trustee shall deem expedient.
 
The Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, either in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, or as attorney-in-fact for the holders of the Debentures, or in any one or more of such capacities, to file such proof of debt, amendment of proof of debt, claim, petition or other document as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of the Debentures allowed in any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or its creditors or relative to or affecting its property or assets.

28.
 
 
The Trustee shall also have power at any time and from time to time to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may be advised by Counsel shall be necessary or advisable to preserve and protect its interests and the interests of the Debentureholders.
 
All rights of action hereunder may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Debentures or the production thereof in the trial or other proceedings relative thereto. Any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in the name of the Trustee as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the rateable benefit of the holders of the Debentures subject to the provisions of this indenture. In any proceeding brought by the Trustee (and also any proceeding in which a declaratory judgment of a Court may be sought as to the interpretation or construction of any provision of this indenture, to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all of the holders of the Debentures, and it shall not be necessary to make any holders of the Debentures parties to any such proceeding.
 
No Suits by Debentureholders
 
7.5   No holder of any Debenture shall have any right to institute any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity for the purpose of enforcing payment of the principal or interest on the Debentures or for the execution of any trust or power here-under or for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver or for a receiving order under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or to have the Corporation wound up or to file or prove a claim in any liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
 
7.5.1 such holder shall previously have given to the Trustee written notice of the happening of an Event of Default hereunder; and
 
 
29.
 
 
7.5.2 the Debentureholders by extraordinary resolution (as hereinafter defined) or by written instrument signed by the holders of at least twenty five (25%) per cent in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding   shall have made a request to the Trustee and the Trustee shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity either itself to proceed to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to institute an action, suit or proceeding in its name for such purpose; and
 
7.5.3 the Debentureholders or any of them shall have furnished to the Trustee, when so requested by the Trustee, sufficient funds and security and indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; and
 
7.5.4 the Trustee shall have failed to act within a reasonable time after such notification, request and offer of security and indemnity and such notification, request and offer of security and indemnity are hereby declared in every such case, at the option of the Trustee, to be conditions precedent to any such proceeding.
 
Application of Monies by Trustee
 
7.6           Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, any monies received by the Trustee from the Corporation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section, or as a result of legal or other proceedings or from any trustee in bankruptcy or liquidator of the Corporation, shall be applied, together with any other monies in the hands of the Trustee available for such purpose, as follows:

Replacement of Trustee
 
12.1  The Trustee may resign its trust and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder by giving to the Corporation three (3) months’ notice in writing or such shorter notice as the Corporation may accept as sufficient. In the event of the Trustee resigning or being removed or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Corporation shall forth-with appoint a new Trustee unless a new Trustee has already been appointed by the Debentureholders; failing such appointment by the Corporation, the retiring Trustee or any Debentureholder may apply to a Justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench on such notice as such Justice may direct, for the appointment of a new Trustee; but any new Trustee so appointed by the Corporation or by the Court shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Debentureholders. On any new appointment, the Trustee shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Trustee.
 
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or amalgamated or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or amalgamation to which the Trustee shall be a party, shall be the successor trustee under this indenture without the execution of any instrument or any further act. Nevertheless, upon the written request of the successor trustee or the Corporation, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument assigning and trans-ferring to such successor Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the rights, powers and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all property and money held by such Trustee to the successor trustee so appointed in its place. Should any deed, conveyance or instrument in writing from the Corporation be required by any new Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts, then any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments in writing shall on request of said new trustee, be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Corporation.
