(2) The Debentures shall rank subordinate and be postponed in right of payment to the Senior Debt. In connection with such subordination and postponement, the Debentures and the Debentureholders’ rights under this Indenture shall be subject to the following terms and conditions, which terms and conditions shall be in favour of and for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, and each holder of any Debentures by his, her or its acceptance thereof agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.2:

The payment of present and future obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of the Corporation to the Debentureholders (the “Subordinate Obligations”), including without limitation payment by way of exchange, set-off, purchase or redemption but excluding conversion into or payment by Common Shares, is hereby postponed and subordinated to the Senior Debt until the Senior Debt is repaid in full. No Person shall grant, and no Debentureholder shall accept, any lien, mortgage, hypothec or security interest with respect to the Subordinate Obligations.

(b)

Until the date upon which the Senior Debt has been repaid in full, if an event or events occur which constitutes, or with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute, an event of default under the Credit Agreement, or if the Senior Lenders determine that any scheduled payment in respect of the Subordinate Obligations would result in, or with notice or lapse of time or both would result in, a default or event of default under the Credit Agreement or mandatory prepayment of the Senior Debt, and upon receipt by the Debentureholders of written notice thereof from the Senior Lenders (the “Default Notice”), and for so long as such Default Notice remains in effect, the Corporation shall be prohibited from making, and the Debentureholders shall not receive, any payment in cash, property or security but excluding conversion into or payment by Common Shares, by set-off or otherwise, owing and which may hereafter come owing by the Corporation to the Debentureholders (including, without limitation, interest and principal payments), without the prior written consent of the Senior Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt but without limitation, the principal amount of the Debentures may not be repaid or prepaid at any time that any Senior Debt is outstanding (other than by way of conversion into or payment by Common Shares in accordance with this Indenture), regardless of whether a Default Notice has or has not been issued, without written consent of the Senior Lenders.

(c)

So long as no Default Notice is in effect, the Corporation may pay and Debentureholders may receive: (i) all payments of interest due and payable in accordance with this Indenture (at the rate of 8% per annum); and (ii) all fees chargeable upon issuance and reasonable expenses due and payable pursuant to this Indenture; and (iii) payment in full of the principal amount of the Debentures by way of conversion into or payment by Common Shares in accordance with this Indenture.

Upon receipt by the Debentureholders of a Default Notice, and for so long as such Default Notice remains in effect, the Debentureholders shall not, without the prior written consent of the Senior Lenders: (i) exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Subordinate Obligations, including any collection or enforcement right or remedy; (ii) institute any action or proceeding against the Corporation, or enforce any right or remedy; (iii) appoint an interim receiver, receiver, receiver-manager, monitor or trustee in respect of the Corporation or any Affiliate or over all or any part of their assets, or apply for a bankruptcy order against the Corporation or any Affiliate; (iv) object to any enforcement process or action initiated by the Senior Lenders; or (v) accelerate the Subordinate Obligations unless the Senior Debt has been accelerated.

(g)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2(f), the Debentureholders may: (a) file a proof of claim or attend and vote at a meeting of creditors in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, so long as such vote does not impair any rights of the Senior Lenders (it being understood that such restriction shall, without limitation, prevent the Debentureholders from voting against, objecting to, or otherwise opposing (i) a sale consented to the Senior Lenders, (ii) a motion filed or supported by the Senior Lenders, or (iii) any plan of liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension in connection with an insolvency proceeding that is approved in writing by the Senior Lenders); (b) take action that is required to preserve the validity or priority of the Subordinate Obligations, including the commencement or initiation of any action required to comply with statutory limitation periods (provided that such proceeding is then stayed); and (c) provide the Corporation with notice of default, demand, enforcement or similar notice, so long as written notice is also provided to the Senior Lenders.

(h)

Any and all proceeds received by the Debentureholders (including, without limitation, from the Debentureholders’ realization, from the Corporation, any Affiliate or their respective assets, from any insolvency or similar proceedings, or from insurance proceeds) shall be paid to the Senior Lenders and dealt with in accordance with this Section 2.2. The priorities contained in this Section 2.2 shall extend to and include all principal, interest, fees, reimbursement and indemnity obligations, and enforcement costs.

A facsimile or electronic signature upon a Debenture shall for all purposes of this Indenture be deemed to be the signature of the person whose signature it purports to be. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature, either manual or in facsimile or electronic form, appears on a Debenture as a director or officer may no longer hold such office at the date of the Debenture or at the date of the certification and delivery thereof, such Debenture shall be valid and binding upon the Corporation and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.4 Certification

(1) No Debenture shall be issued or, if issued, shall be obligatory or shall entitle the holder to the benefits of this Indenture, until it has been manually certified by or on behalf of the Trustee substantially in the form set out in this Indenture, in the relevant supplemental indenture, or in some other form approved by the Trustee. Such certification or authentication of any Debenture shall be conclusive evidence that such Debenture is duly issued, is a valid obligation of the Corporation and the holder is entitled to the benefits hereof. Debentures will be authenticated on a Written Direction of the Corporation.

(2) The certificate of the Trustee signed on the Debentures, or interim Debentures hereinafter mentioned, shall not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Trustee as to the validity of this Indenture or of the Debentures or interim Debentures or as to the issuance of the Debentures or interim Debentures and the Trustee shall in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of the Debentures or interim Debentures or any of them or the proceeds thereof. The certificate of the Trustee on the Debentures or interim Debentures shall, however, be a representation and warranty by the Trustee that the Debentures or interim Debentures have been duly certified by or on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 2.5 Legends

(1) The Debenture Certificates representing the Debentures will bear the following legend:

“THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO SUBORDINATION AND POSTPONEMENT TERMS IN FAVOUR OF SENIOR LENDERS.”

“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE APRIL 6, 2020.”

(2) The Debentures and Common Shares issuable upon conversion or repayment thereof have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws. To the extent that Debentures are offered and sold in the United States, such Debentures and all Common Shares issuable on conversion or repayment thereof (collectively, the “Securities”), shall be “restricted securities” within the meaning assigned to that term in Rule 144(a)(3) under the 1933 Act. Subject to Section 2.5(4), the certificates representing such Securities, as well as all securities issued in exchange for or in substitution of the Securities, shall, until such time as the same is no longer required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or state securities laws, shall bear the following additional legend (the “US Legend”):

- 13 -

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY [for Debentures, insert: AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OR PAYMENT HEREOF] HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”) OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ONLY (A) TO THE CORPORATION, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 903 OR RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, (C) IN ACCORDANCE WITH (I) RULE 144A, IF AVAILABLE, OR (II) RULE 144, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (D) IN ANOTHER TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE “GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN CANADA.”

provided, that, if the Debentures or Common Shares are being sold in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S in circumstances where Rule 905 of Regulation S does not apply, and in compliance with Canadian local laws and regulations, the U.S. Legend may be removed by providing an executed declaration to the Corporation and the Trustee (or the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares, as applicable) substantially as set forth in Schedule D (or as the Corporation may prescribe from time to time), together with any other evidence reasonably requested by the Corporation, which evidence may include an opinion of counsel of recognized standing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, to the effect that the transfer is being made in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S; and provided further that, if any Debentures or Common Shares are being sold in accordance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, if available, the Debentures or Common Shares, as applicable, the U.S. Legend may be removed by delivery to the Corporation and the Trustee (or the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares, as applicable) of an opinion of counsel, of recognized standing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, that the U.S. Legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws. Provided that the Trustee (or the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares, as applicable) obtains confirmation from the Corporation that such counsel is satisfactory to it, it shall be entitled to rely on such opinion of counsel without further inquiry.

(3) The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the Securities may not be reoffered, or resold, pledged or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, except: (i) to the Corporation; (ii) outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations; (iii) in compliance with the exemption from registration under the 1933 Act provided by Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, if available, and in accordance with applicable state securities laws; or (iv) in another transaction that does not require registration under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws.

(4) Prior to the issuance of the Debentures, the Corporation shall notify the Trustee, in writing, concerning which Debentures shall bear the U.S. Legend. All Securities issued pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act shall bear the U.S. Legend. The Trustee will thereafter maintain a list of all registered holders from time to time of such legended Debentures.

Section 2.6 Interim Debentures or Certificates

Pending the delivery of definitive Debentures to the Trustee, the Corporation may issue and the Trustee certify in lieu thereof interim Debentures in such forms and in such denominations and signed in

- 14 -

such manner as provided herein, entitling the holders thereof to definitive Debentures when the same are ready for delivery; or the Corporation may execute and the Trustee certify a temporary Debenture for the whole principal amount of Debentures then authorized to be issued hereunder and deliver the same to the Trustee and thereupon the Trustee may issue its own interim certificates in such form and in such amounts, not exceeding in the aggregate the principal amount of the temporary Debenture so delivered to it, as the Corporation and the Trustee may approve entitling the holders thereof to definitive Debentures when the same are ready for delivery; and, when so issued and certified, such interim or temporary Debentures or interim certificates shall, for all purposes but without duplication, rank in respect of this Indenture equally with Debentures duly issued hereunder and, pending the exchange thereof for definitive Debentures, the holders of the interim or temporary Debentures or interim certificates shall be deemed without duplication to be Debentureholders and entitled to the benefit of this Indenture to the same extent and in the same manner as though the said exchange had actually been made. Forthwith after the Corporation shall have delivered the definitive Debentures to the Trustee, the Trustee shall cancel such temporary Debentures, if any, and shall call in for exchange all interim Debentures or certificates that shall have been issued and forthwith after such exchange shall cancel the same. No charge shall be made by the Corporation or the Trustee to the holders of such interim or temporary Debentures or interim certificates for the exchange thereof. All interest paid upon interim or temporary Debentures or interim certificates shall be noted thereon as a condition precedent to such payment unless paid by cheque to the registered holders thereof.

Section 2.7 Mutilation, Loss, Theft or Destruction

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 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, and the substituted Debenture shall be in a form approved by the Trustee and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Debentures issued or to be issued hereunder. In case of loss, theft or destruction, the applicant for a substituted Debenture shall furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustee such evidence of the loss, theft or destruction of the Debenture as shall be satisfactory to them in their discretion and shall also furnish an indemnity and surety bond satisfactory to them in their discretion. The applicant shall pay all reasonable expenses incidental to the issuance of any substituted Debenture.

Interest shall cease to accrue on the Debentures upon the Maturity Date provided the Trustee has received, by the Maturity Date, from the Corporation, all the funds due and payable on the Debentures.

(d)

The Trustee, on behalf of the Corporation, will pay to each holder entitled to receive payment the principal amount of, premium on, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures, upon surrender of the Debentures at any branch of the Trustee designated for such purpose from time to time by the Corporation and the Trustee.

(1) On the Maturity Date, the Debentureholders shall have the right to require the Corporation to repay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding in Common Shares (the “Share Payment Right”). In the event that a Debentureholder exercises the Share Payment Right, the Common Shares to be issued to the Debentureholder will be valued at the Current Market Price at the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date, subject to compliance with the applicable policies of the TSX and/or other principal exchange for trading of the Common Shares at that time. Without limitation to the foregoing: (i) no more than an aggregate of 64,252,771 Common Shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Debentures and/or the exercise of the Share Payment Right unless approval therefor is obtained by the Corporation’s shareholders by a majority of votes cast, (ii) no more than 25,701,108 Common Shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Debentures and/or the exercise of the Share Payment Right to insiders of the Corporation unless approval therefor is obtained by the Corporation’s shareholders by a majority of votes cast, other than insiders of the Corporation holding Debentures, their associates and affiliates; and (iii) should the issuance of Common Shares in excess of 31,645,570 Common Shares (being $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Debentures divided by the Conversion Price) materially affect control of the Corporation, such issuance shall require approval by the Corporation’s shareholders by a majority of votes cast. The Corporation is solely responsible for compliance with the restrictions regarding shareholder and TSX approval in this Section 2.10(1) including with respect to all calculations regarding the number of Common Shares issuable upon any conversion of the Debentures or any exercise of the Share Payment Right, and in processing and facilitating any conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Share Payment Right, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no applicable limits have been exceeded and that all required shareholder and TSX approvals have been obtained unless the Corporation expressly notifies the Trustee in advance that any such limits have been exceeded or required shareholder or TSX approvals have not been obtained.

(2) A Debentureholder desiring to exercise the Share Payment Right shall surrender the Debenture Certificate representing the Debentures held by the Debentureholder to the Trustee at its principal office in the City of Toronto, Ontario together with the Share Payment Right notice in the form of Schedule C or any other written notice in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, duly executed by the holder or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee, at least 10 Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, and indicating the principal amount of the Debentures in respect of which the Debentureholder wishes to exercise the Share Payment Right as set out in Schedule C. Common Shares issuable in respect of the principal amount of Debentures represented by Debenture Certificates bearing the U.S. Legend shall be marked to bear the U.S. Legend; provided that upon the Trustee receiving an executed Share Payment Right notice as set out in Schedule C with the box therein being ticked, the Trustee will issue Common Shares without the U.S. Legend. Thereupon such Debentureholder or, subject to compliance with the applicable terms and provisions hereof and payment of all applicable stamp or security transfer taxes or other governmental charges and compliance with all reasonable requirements of the Trustee, his nominee(s) or assignee(s) shall be entitled to be entered in the books of the Corporation as at the Maturity Date (or such later date as is specified in Section 5.4(2)) as the holder of the number of Common Shares, as applicable, issuable for the principal amount of the Debentures in respect of which the Share Payment Right is exercised in accordance with the provisions of this Article and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the Corporation shall deliver to such Debentureholder or, subject as aforesaid, his nominee(s) or assignee(s), a certificate or certificates for such Common Shares, or at the direction of the Corporation, Direct Registration System Advices for such Common Shares to be held in book entry form, and make or cause to be made any payment of interest to which such holder is entitled in accordance with Section 5.4(6). In the event that not all of the principal amount of the Debentures held by the Debentureholder is paid in Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Share Payment Right, the Corporation will pay or cause to be paid to the Debentureholder the balance of the principal amount of the Debentures not so satisfied in

- 17 -

Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8. The Corporation shall also pay or cause to be paid to the Debentureholder all accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8.

(4) Any part, being $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of a Debenture in a denomination in excess of $1,000 may be paid in Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Share Payment Right as provided in this Section 2.10 and all references in this Indenture to conversion of Debentures shall be deemed to include conversion of such parts.

Section 2.11 Change of Control

Within 30 days following a Change of Control, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.11, the Corporation shall, at the discretion of the Debentureholders, be obligated, subject to Section 2.2, to offer to purchase or convert all of the Debentures then outstanding. The terms and conditions of such obligation are set forth below:

(a)

Not less than 30 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Corporation shall deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the holders of the Debentures, a notice stating that there has been a Change of Control and specifying the date on which such Change of Control occurred and the circumstances or events giving rise to such Change of Control (a “Change of Control Notice”). Prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date (as defined below), the Debentureholders shall, in their sole discretion, have the right to require the Corporation to, either: (i) purchase the Debentures (the “Change of Control Purchase Option”) at 115% of the principal amount thereof plus unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Change of Control Purchase Date (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”); or (ii) convert the Debentures at the Conversion Price. The “Change of Control Purchase Date” shall be the date that is 30 Business Days after the date of the Change of Control Notice is delivered to holders of Debentures.

(b)

If 90% or more in aggregate principal amount of Debentures outstanding on the date the Corporation provides the Change of Control Notice to holders of the Debentures have been surrendered for purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Purchase Option on the expiration thereof, the Corporation has the right, upon written notice provided to the Trustee within 10 days following the expiration of the Change of Control Purchase Option, to redeem all the Debentures remaining outstanding on the expiration of the Change of Control Purchase Option at the Change of Control Purchase Price as at the Change of Control Purchase Date (the “90% Redemption Right”).

(c)

Upon receipt of notice that the Corporation has exercised or is exercising the 90% Redemption Right and is acquiring the remaining Debentures, the Trustee shall promptly provide written notice to each Debentureholder that did not previously accept the Change of Control Purchase Option that:

(i)

the Corporation has exercised the 90% Redemption Right and is purchasing all outstanding Debentures effective on the expiry of the Change of Control Purchase Option at the Change of Control Purchase Price, and shall include a calculation of

- 18 -

the amount payable to such holder as payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price as at the Change of Control Purchase Date;

(ii)

each such holder must transfer their Debentures to the Corporation on the same terms as those holders that accepted the Change of Control Purchase Option and must send their respective Debentures, duly endorsed for transfer, to the Trustee within 10 days after the sending of such notice; and

(iii)

the rights of such holder under the terms of the Debentures and this Indenture cease effective as of the date of expiry of the Change of Control Purchase Option provided the Corporation has, on or before the time of notifying the Trustee of the exercise of the 90% Redemption Right, paid the Change of Control Purchase Price to, or to the order of, the Trustee and thereafter the Debentures shall not be considered to be outstanding and the holder shall not have any right except to receive such holder’s Change of Control Purchase Price upon surrender and delivery of such holder’s Debentures in accordance with this Indenture.

(d)

The Corporation shall, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date, deposit with the Trustee or any paying agent to the order of the Trustee, such sums of money as may be sufficient to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price of the Debentures to be purchased or redeemed by the Corporation on the Change of Control Purchase Date, provided the Corporation may elect to satisfy this requirement by providing the Trustee with a certified cheque or wire transfer for such amounts required under this Section 2.11 post-dated to the date of expiry of the Change of Control Purchase Option. The Corporation shall also deposit with the Trustee a sum of money sufficient to pay any reasonable charges or expenses which may be incurred by the Trustee in connection with such purchase. Every such deposit shall be irrevocable. From the sums so deposited, the Trustee shall pay or cause to be paid to the holders of such Debentures, the Change of Control Purchase Price to which they are entitled (less any tax required by law to be deducted in respect of accrued and unpaid interest) on the Corporation’s purchase.

(e)

In the event that one or more of such Debentures being purchased in accordance with this Section 2.11 becomes subject to purchase in part only, upon surrender of such Debentures for payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall certify and deliver without charge to the holder thereof or upon the holder’s order, one or more new Debentures for the portion of the principal amount of the Debentures not purchased.

(f)

Debentures for which holders have accepted the Change of Control Purchase Option and Debentures which the Corporation has elected to redeem in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall become due and payable at the Change of Control Purchase Price on the Change of Control Purchase Date, 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 the Change of Control Purchase Date, if the money necessary to purchase or redeem, or the Common Shares necessary to purchase or redeem, the Debentures shall have been deposited as provided in this Section 2.11 and affidavits or other proofs satisfactory to the Trustee as to the publication and/or mailing of such notices shall have been lodged with it, interest on the Debentures shall cease. If any question shall arise as to whether any notice has been given as above provided and such deposit made,

- 19 -

such question shall be decided by the Trustee whose decision shall be final and binding upon all parties in interest.

(g)

In case the holder of any Debenture to be purchased or redeemed in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall fail on or before the Change of Control Purchase Date to so surrender such holder’s Debenture or shall not within such time accept payment of the monies payable, to take delivery of certificates representing such Common Shares issuable in respect thereof, or give such receipt therefor, if any, as the Trustee may require, such monies may be set aside in trust, or such certificates may be held in trust, without interest, either in the deposit department of the Trustee or in a chartered bank, and such setting aside shall for all purposes be deemed a payment to the Debentureholder of the sum or the Common Shares so set aside and the Debentureholder shall have no other right except to receive payment of the monies so paid and deposited, or take delivery of the certificates so deposited, or both, upon surrender and delivery of such holder’s Debenture. In the event that any money or certificates representing Common Shares required to be deposited hereunder with the Trustee or any depository or paying agent on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on Debentures issued hereunder shall remain so deposited for a period of six years from the Change of Control Purchase Date, then such monies, or certificates representing Common Shares, or any distributions paid thereon, shall at the end of such period be paid over or delivered over by the Trustee or such depository or paying agent to the Corporation and the Trustee shall not be responsible to Debentureholders for any amounts owing to them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee will pay any remaining funds deposited hereunder on that date which is six years after the Change of Control Purchase Date (the “Unclaimed Funds Return Date”) to the Corporation and the Debenture Trustee shall not be responsible to Debentureholders for any amounts owing to them. If the remaining funds are paid to the Corporation prior to the Unclaimed Funds Return Date, the Corporation shall reimburse the Trustee for any amounts required to be paid by the Trustee to a holder of a Debenture pursuant to the Change of Control Purchase Option after the date of such payment of the remaining funds to the Corporation but prior to the Unclaimed Funds Return Date.

(h)

Subject to the provisions above related to Debentures purchased in part, all Debentures redeemed and paid under this Section 2.11 shall forthwith be delivered to the Trustee and cancelled and no Debentures shall be issued in substitution therefor.

Section 2.12 Payment of Interest

(1) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(3) or specified in a resolution of the Board of Directors or an Officer’s Certificate, and subject to Section 2.2, as interest becomes due on each Debenture (except, subject to certain exceptions set forth herein including in Section 2.1(3), on conversion or on redemption, when interest may at the option of the Corporation be paid upon surrender of such Debenture), the Corporation, either directly or through the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, shall send or forward by prepaid ordinary mail, electronic transfer of funds or such other means as may be agreed to by the Trustee, payment of such interest (less any tax required to be withheld therefrom) to the order of the registered holder of such Debenture appearing on the registers maintained by the Trustee at the close of business on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to each applicable Interest Payment Date and addressed to the holder at the holder’s last address appearing on the register, unless such holder otherwise directs. If payment is made by cheque, such cheque shall be forwarded at least three Business Days prior to each date on which interest becomes due, and if payment is made by other means (such as electronic transfer of funds), the Trustee must receive confirmation of receipt of funds by wire at least three Business Days in advance prior

- 20 -

to being able to forward funds or cheques to holders) and such payment shall be made in a manner whereby the holder receives credit for such payment on the date such interest on such Debenture becomes due.

(2) The mailing of such cheque or the making of such payment by other means shall, to the extent of the sum represented thereby, plus the amount of any tax withheld as aforesaid, satisfy and discharge all liability for interest on such Debenture, unless in the case of payment by cheque, such cheque is not paid at par on presentation. In the event of non-receipt of any cheque for or other payment of interest by the person to whom it is so sent as aforesaid, the Corporation will issue to such person a replacement cheque or other payment for a like amount upon being furnished with such evidence of non-receipt as it shall reasonably require and upon being indemnified to its satisfaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation is prevented by circumstances beyond its control (including, without limitation, any interruption in mail service) from making payment of any interest due on each Debenture in the manner provided above, the Corporation may make payment of such interest or make such interest available for payment in any other manner acceptable to the Trustee with the same effect as though payment had been made in the manner provided above.

Section 2.13 Concerning Interest

(1) All Debentures issued hereunder, whether originally or upon exchange or in substitution for previously issued Debentures which are interest bearing, shall bear interest (i) from and including their issue date, or (ii) from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment on the outstanding Debentures, whichever shall be the later, in each case, to and excluding the next Interest Payment Date.

(2) Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days composed of twelve 30-day months. Whenever interest is computed on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

ARTICLE 3– REGISTRATION, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND OWNERSHIP

Section 3.1 Register and Transfer

All Debentures so purchased may be delivered to the Trustee and shall be cancelled and no Debentures shall be issued in substitution therefor.

(2) If, upon an invitation for tenders, more Debentures are tendered at the same lowest price than the Corporation is prepared to accept, the Debentures to be purchased by the Corporation shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis from the Debentures tendered by each tendering Debentureholder who tendered at such lowest price. For this purpose the Trustee may make, and from time to time amend, regulations with respect to the manner in which Debentures may be so selected, and regulations so made shall be valid and binding upon all Debentureholders, notwithstanding the fact that as a result thereof one or more of such Debentures become subject to purchase in part only.

Fractional interests in Common Shares shall be adjusted for in the manner provided in Section 5.6.

Section 5.2 Notice of Expiry of Conversion Privilege

Section 5.4 Manner of Exercise of Right to Convert

(1) The holder of a Debenture Certificate desiring to convert such Debenture in whole or in part into Common Shares shall surrender such Debenture Certificate to the Trustee at its principal office in the City of Toronto, Ontario together with the conversion notice in the form of Schedule B or any other written notice in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, duly executed by the holder or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee, exercising his right to convert such Debenture in accordance with the provisions of this Article. Debenture Certificates bearing the U.S. Legend shall be converted into Common Shares marked to bear the U.S. Legend; provided that upon the Trustee receiving an executed conversion notice as set out in Schedule B with the box therein being ticked, the Trustee will issue Common Shares without the US Legend. Thereupon such Debentureholder or, subject to compliance with the applicable terms and provisions hereof and payment of all applicable stamp or security transfer taxes or other governmental charges and compliance with all reasonable requirements of the Trustee, his nominee(s) or assignee(s) 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 Section 5.4(2)) as the holder of the number of Common Shares, as applicable, into which such Debenture is convertible in accordance with the provisions of this Article and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the Corporation shall deliver to such Debentureholder or, subject as aforesaid, his nominee(s) or assignee(s), a certificate or certificates for such Common Shares, or

at the direction of the Corporation, Direct Registration System Advices for such Common Shares to be held in book entry form, and make or cause to be made any payment of interest to which such holder is entitled in accordance with Section 5.4(6).

(2) For the purposes of this Article, a Debenture shall be deemed to be surrendered for conversion on the date (herein called the “Date of Conversion”) on which it is so surrendered when the register of the Trustee is open and in accordance with the provisions of this Article and, in the case of a Debenture so surrendered by mail or other means of transmission, on the date on which it is received by the Trustee at one of its offices specified in Section 5.4(1); provided that: (i) 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; and (ii) if a Debenture is surrendered for conversion on an Interest Payment Date or during the five Business Days preceding each Interest Payment Date, the Person or Persons entitled to receive Common Shares in respect of the Debenture so surrendered for conversion shall not become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares until the Business Day following such Interest Payment Date and, for clarity, any interest payable on such Debentures will be for the account of the holder of record of such Debentures at the close of business on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(3) A Debenture in respect of which a holder has accepted a notice in respect of a Change of Control Purchase Option pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11 may be surrendered for conversion only if such notice is withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture.

(4) Any part, being $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of a Debenture in a denomination in excess of $1,000 may be converted as provided in this Article and all references in this Indenture to conversion of Debentures shall be deemed to include conversion of such parts.

(5) The holder of any Debenture of which only a part is converted shall, upon the exercise of its right of conversion surrender such Debenture to the Trustee in accordance with Section 5.4(1), 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.

(6) The holder of a Debenture surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Section 5.4 shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect thereof (less any taxes required to be deducted), in cash, from and including the last Interest Payment Date prior to the Date of Conversion up to but excluding the Date of Conversion, and the Common Shares issued upon such conversion shall rank only in respect of distributions or 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 Section 5.4(2), 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.

Section 5.5 Adjustment of Conversion Price

The Conversion Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth below.

(a)

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 shares,

- 26 -

(ii)

reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or

(iii)

issue Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a dividend or distribution (other than the issue of Common Shares to holders of Common Shares who have elected to receive dividends or distributions in the form of Common Shares in lieu of cash dividends or cash distributions paid in the ordinary course on the Common Shares),

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 dividend or distribution, as the case may be, shall in the case of any of the events referred to in (i) and (iii) above be decreased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision or dividend, or shall, in the case of any of the events referred to in (ii) above, be increased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 5.5(a) shall occur. Any such issue of Common Shares by way of a dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the dividend or distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 5.5.

(b)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of options, rights or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible into Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on such record date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered) by such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such options, rights or warrants are not so issued or any such options, rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Price shall be re-adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such options, rights or warrants were included in such fraction, as the case may be.

(c)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in Section 5.5(a) or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, share exchange, merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or other entity or acquisition of the Corporation or other combination pursuant to which the Common Shares are converted

- 27 -

into or acquired for cash, securities or other property; or a sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other Person (other than a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) or other entity or a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation (any such event, a “Merger Event”), any holder of a Debenture who has not exercised its right of conversion prior to the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, share exchange, acquisition, combination, sale or conveyance or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, upon the exercise of such right thereafter, shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares then sought to be acquired by it, such amount of cash or the number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the Person or other entity resulting from such merger, amalgamation, arrangement, acquisition, combination or consolidation, or to which such sale or conveyance may be made or which holders of Common Shares receive pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, as the case may be, that such holder of a Debenture would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, share exchange, acquisition, combination, sale or conveyance or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares sought to be acquired by it and to which it was entitled to acquire upon the exercise of the conversion right, subject to Section 5.5(l). If determined appropriate by the Board of Directors, to give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this Section 5.5(c), the Corporation, its successor, or such purchasing Person or other entity, as the case may be, shall, prior to or contemporaneously with any such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, share exchange, acquisition, combination, sale or conveyance or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, enter into an indenture which shall provide, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set forth in this Indenture with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holder of Debentures to the end that the provisions set forth in this Indenture shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, with respect to any cash, shares or other securities or property to which a holder of Debentures is entitled on the exercise of its acquisition rights thereafter. Any indenture entered into between the Corporation and the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.5(c) shall be a supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to the provisions of Article 14. Any indenture entered into between the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or such purchasing Person or other entity and the Trustee shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 5.5(c) and which shall apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, amalgamations, consolidations, mergers, share exchanges, acquisitions, combinations, sales or conveyances. For greater certainty, nothing in this Section 5.5(c) shall affect or reduce the requirement for any Person to make a Change of Control Offer, and notice of any transaction to which this Section 5.5(c) applies shall be given in accordance with Section 5.10.

(d)

If the Corporation shall make a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares of shares in the capital of the Corporation, other than Common Shares, or evidences of indebtedness or other assets of the Corporation, including securities (but excluding (i) any issuance of rights or warrants for which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 5.5(b) and (ii) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash (the “Distributed Securities”), then in each such case (unless the Corporation distributes such Distributed Securities to the holders of Debentures on such dividend or distribution date (as if each holder had converted such Debenture into Common Shares immediately

- 28 -

preceding the record date with respect to such distribution)) the Conversion Price in effect immediately preceding the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately preceding such record date by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date and of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value, subject to approval by the TSX (or such other recognized stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed for trading) and which shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) on such record date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one Common Share (determined on the basis of the number of Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on such record date). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one Common Share is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of a Debenture shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Distributed Securities so distributed that such holder would have received had such holder converted each Debenture on such record date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this clause (d) of Section 5.5 by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the securities distributed by the Corporation to all holders of its Common Shares consist of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or other business of the Corporation (the “Spinoff Securities”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, unless the Corporation makes an equivalent distribution to the holders of Debentures, so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the weighted average trading price of one Common Share over the 20 consecutive trading day period (the “Spinoff Valuation Period”) commencing on and including the fifth trading day after the date on which ex-dividend trading commences for such distribution on the TSX (or such other exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed) and (B) the product of (i) the weighted average trading price (calculated in substantially the same way as the Current Market Price is calculated for the Common Shares) over the Spinoff Valuation Period of the Spinoff Securities or, if no such prices are available, the fair market value of the Spinoff Securities as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors (which determination shall be conclusive and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) multiplied by (ii) the number of Spinoff Securities distributed in respect of one Common Share and the numerator of which shall be the weighted average trading price of one Common Share over the Spinoff Valuation Period, such adjustment to become effective immediately preceding the opening of business on the 25th trading day after the date on which ex-dividend trading commences; provided, however, that the Corporation may in lieu of the foregoing adjustment elect to

- 29 -

make adequate provision so that each holder of Debentures shall have the right to receive upon conversion thereof the amount of such Spinoff Securities that such holder of Debentures would have received if such Debentures had been converted on the record date with respect to such distribution.

(e)

If any issuer bid made by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of Common Shares shall expire, then, if the issuer bid shall require the payment to shareholders of consideration per Common Share having a fair market value (determined as provided below) that exceeds the Current Market Price on the last date (the “Expiration Date”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such issuer bid (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the “Expiration Time”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately preceding the close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which (i) the denominator shall be the sum of (A) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (the fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) payable to shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the issuer bid) of all Common Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the Common Shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Common Shares”) and (B) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding (less any Purchased Common Shares and excluding any Common Shares held in the treasury of the Corporation) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price on the Expiration Date and (ii) the numerator of which shall be the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding (including Purchased Common Shares but excluding any Common Shares held in the treasury of the Corporation) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price on the Expiration Date, such increase to become effective immediately preceding the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Date. In the event that the Corporation is obligated to purchase Common Shares pursuant to any such issuer bid, but the Corporation is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually purchased, if any. If the application of this clause (e) of Section 5.5 to any issuer bid would result in a decrease in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such issuer bid under this clause (e).

For purposes of this Section 5.5(e), the term “issuer bid” shall mean an issuer bid under Applicable Securities Legislation or a take-over bid under Applicable Securities Legislation by a Subsidiary of the Corporation for the Common Shares and all references to “purchases” of Common Shares in issuer bids (and all similar references) shall mean and include the purchase of Common Shares in issuer bids and all references to “tendered Common Shares” (and all similar references) shall mean and include Common Shares tendered in issuer bids.

(f)

In any case in which this Section 5.5 shall require that an adjustment shall 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 before

- 30 -

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 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 as such holder would, but for the provisions of this Section 5.5(f), have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares pursuant to Section 5.4(2).

(g)

The adjustments provided for in this Section 5.5 are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 5.5(g) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

(h)

For the purpose of calculating the number of Common Shares outstanding, Common Shares owned by or for the benefit of the Corporation shall not be counted.

(i)

In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Section 5.5, such question shall be conclusively determined by the Board of Directors, and in the event holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding notify the Trustee that they do not agree with such determination within 14 days of such determination being communicated to all the holders, such determination shall be made by a firm of nationally recognized 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. In the absence of notice by holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding of their disagreement as aforesaid, the determination of the Board of Directors shall be binding.

(j)

In case the Corporation shall take any action (other than the payment of cash dividends) affecting the Common Shares other than action described in this Section 5.5, which in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would materially affect the rights of Debentureholders, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time, by action of the Board of Directors, as the Board of Directors, in their sole discretion may determine to be equitable in the circumstances. Failure of the directors to make such an adjustment shall be conclusive evidence that they have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

(k)

No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of any event described in Sections 5.5(a), 5.5(b), 5.5(c), 5.5(d), 5.5(e) or 5.5(f) other than the events described in 5.5(a)(i) or 5.5(a)(ii) if the holders of the Debentures are entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if they had converted their Debentures prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of such event. Participation in such event by the holders of the Debentures shall be subject to prior approval by the TSX.

- 31 -

(l)

Except as stated above in this Section 5.5, no adjustment will be made in the Conversion Price for any Debentures as a result of the issuance of Common Shares at less than the Current Market Price on the date of issuance or the then applicable Conversion Price.

(m)

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing in this Section 5.5, if a holder of a Debenture would otherwise be entitled to receive, upon conversion of the Debenture, any property (including cash) or securities that would not constitute “prescribed securities” for the purposes of clause 212(1)(b)(vii)(E) of the Tax Act as it applied on December 31, 2007 (“Ineligible Consideration”), such holder of a Debenture shall not be entitled to receive such Ineligible Consideration and the Corporation or the successor or acquirer, as the case may be, shall have the right (at the sole option of the Corporation or the successor or acquirer, as the case may be) to deliver to such holder “prescribed securities” for the purposes of clause 212(1)(b)(vii)(E) of the Tax Act as it applied on December 31, 2007 with a market value (as conclusively determined by the Board of Directors) equal to the market value of such Ineligible Consideration.

Section 5.6 No Requirement to Issue Fractional Common Shares

The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the conversion of Debentures pursuant to this Article. If more than one Debenture shall be surrendered for conversion 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 such Debentures to be converted. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be deliverable upon the conversion of any principal amount of Debentures, the number of Common Shares so issuable shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Section 5.7 Mandatory Conversion

(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and subject to any required regulatory approval and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if, at any time during the Conversion Period, the VWAP is greater than $7.50 per Common Share, as adjusted in accordance with Section 5.5, for any 15 consecutive trading days, the Corporation may force the conversion of all but not less than all of the principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures at the then applicable Conversion Price, upon giving the Debentureholders not less than 30 days’ advance written notice the “Mandatory Conversion Notice”), in accordance with Section 12.2.

(2) In the event that the Corporation exercises its right to force conversion of all of the principal amount of the Debentures pursuant to this Section 5.7, the effective date for the mandatory conversion (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) shall be: (a) the date stipulated in the Mandatory Conversion Notice; or (b) if no date is so stipulated in the Mandatory Conversion Notice, the date that is 30 days following the date of such Mandatory Conversion Notice, and upon such Mandatory Conversion Date: (i) all of the principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures shall be deemed to be converted into Common Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price; and (ii) the Debentureholders shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as at the Mandatory Conversion Date as the holders of the number of Common Shares, as applicable, into which the Debentures held by them are convertible. Upon the surrender of Debenture Certificates to the Trustee at its principal office in the City of Toronto, Ontario by the Debentureholders, the Corporation shall deliver to the Debentureholders certificates for the Common Shares for the Common Shares into which the Debentures held by them have been converted, or at the direction of the Corporation, Direct Registration System Advices for such Common Shares to be held in book entry form.

- 32 -

(3) The holder of a Debenture converted in accordance with this Section 5.7 shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect thereof (less any taxes required to be deducted), in cash, from and including the last Interest Payment Date prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date up to but excluding the Mandatory Conversion Date, and the Common Shares issued upon such conversion shall rank only in respect of distributions or dividends declared in favour of shareholders of record on and after the Mandatory Conversion Date or such later date as such holder shall become the holder of record of such Common Shares pursuant to Section 5.7(2), 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.

Section 5.8 Corporation to Reserve Common Shares

The Corporation covenants with the Trustee 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 Debentures as in this Article provided, and conditionally allot to Debentureholders who may exercise their conversion rights hereunder, such number of Common Shares as shall then be issuable upon the 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.

Section 5.9 Cancellation of Converted Debentures

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 as to Debentures converted in part, all Debentures converted in whole or in part under the provisions of this Article shall be forthwith delivered to and cancelled by the Trustee and no Debenture shall be issued in substitution for those converted.

Section 5.10 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 5.5, deliver an Officer’s 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 advice of a firm of nationally recognized chartered accountants appointed by the Corporation and acceptable to the Trustee (who may be the Auditors of the Corporation) and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest. When so approved, the Corporation shall forthwith give notice to the Debentureholders in the manner provided in Section 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 Section 5.11 covering all the relevant facts in respect of such event and if the Trustee approves, no such notice need be given under this Section 5.10.

Section 5.11 Notice of Special Matters

(1) 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 12.2, of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in Section 5.5(a), Section 5.5(b), Section 5.5(c), 5.5(d), or Section 5.5(e) (other than the subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination 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; 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 in each case prior to such applicable record date.

- 33 -

(2) In addition, 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 12.2, at least 30 days prior to the (i) effective date of any transaction referred to in Section 5.5(c) stating the consideration into which the Debentures will be convertible after the effective date of such transaction, and (ii) Expiration Date of any transaction referred to in Section 5.5(e) stating the consideration paid per Common Share in such transaction.

Section 5.12 Protection of Trustee

The Trustee:

(a)

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;

(b)

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

(c)

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 Article.

ARTICLE 6 – COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION

The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees with the Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and the Debentureholders, that so long as any Debentures remain outstanding:

Section 6.1 To Pay Principal, Premium (if any) and Interest

Subject to Section 2.2, the Corporation will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid to every Debentureholder the principal of, premium (if any) and interest accrued on the Debentures of which it is the holder on the dates, at the places and in the manner mentioned herein and in the Debentures.

Section 6.2 To Pay Trustee’s Remuneration

Such remuneration shall continue to be payable until the trusts hereof be finally wound up and whether or not the trusts of this Indenture shall be in the course of administration by or under the direction of a court of competent jurisdiction.

- 34 -

Section 6.3 To Give Notice of Default

The Corporation shall notify the Trustee immediately upon obtaining knowledge of any Event of Default hereunder. The Corporation shall also notify the Trustee immediately upon receiving any Default Notice from the Senior Lenders.

Section 6.4 Preservation of Existence, etc.

Subject to the express provisions hereof, the Corporation will carry on and conduct its activities, and cause its Subsidiaries to carry on and conduct their businesses, in a business-like manner and in accordance with good business practices, and, subject to the express provisions hereof, it will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and rights; provided that the foregoing covenant shall not prevent or restrict the Corporation from completing a transaction to which Article 9 would apply if carried out in accordance with Article 9.

Section 6.5 Keeping of Books

The Corporation will keep or cause to be kept proper books of record and account, in which full and correct entries shall be made of all financial transactions and the assets and business of the Corporation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Section 6.7 Performance of Covenants by Trustee

If the Corporation shall fail to perform any of its covenants contained in this Indenture, the Trustee may notify the Debentureholders of such failure on the part of the Corporation or may itself perform any of the covenants capable of being performed by it, but shall be under no obligation to do so or to notify the Debentureholders. All sums so expended or advanced by the Trustee shall be repayable as provided in Section 6.2. No such performance, expenditure or advance by the Trustee shall be deemed to relieve the Corporation of any default hereunder.

Section 6.8 Maintain Listing

The Corporation will use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Shares on the TSX, and to maintain the Corporation’s status as a “reporting issuer” not in default of the requirements of the Applicable Securities Legislation; provided that the foregoing covenant shall not prevent or restrict the Corporation from carrying out a transaction to which Article 9 would apply if carried out in compliance with Article 9 even if as a result of such transaction the Corporation ceases to be a “reporting issuer” in all or any of the provinces of Canada or the Common Shares cease to be listed on the TSX or any other stock exchange.

- 35 -

Section 6.9 No Dividends on Common Shares if Event of Default

The Corporation shall not declare or pay any dividend to the holders of its issued and outstanding Common Shares after the occurrence of an Event of Default unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist.

Section 6.10 Withholding Matters

All payments made by or on behalf of the Corporation under or with respect to the Debentures (including, without limitation, any penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) will be made free and clear of and without withholding, or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and other liabilities related hereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government of Canada or the United States or elsewhere, or of any province or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (“Withholding Taxes”), unless the Corporation is required by law or the interpretation or administration thereof, to withhold or deduct any amounts for, or on account of Withholding Taxes. If the Corporation is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for, or on account of, Withholding Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Debentures, the Corporation shall deduct and withhold such Withholding Taxes from any payment to be made or with respect to the Debentures and, provided that the Corporation forthwith remits such amount to the relevant governmental authority or agency, the amount of any such deduction or withholding will be considered an amount paid in satisfaction of the Corporation’s obligations under the Debentures. There is no obligation on the Corporation to gross-up or pay additional amounts to a holder of Debentures in respect of such deductions or withholdings. For greater certainty, if any amount is required to be deducted or withheld in respect of Withholding Taxes upon a conversion of a Debenture, the Corporation shall be entitled to liquidate such number of Common Shares (or other securities) issuable as a result of such conversion as shall be necessary in order to satisfy such requirement. The Corporation shall provide the Trustee with copies of receipts or other communications relating to the remittance of such withheld amount or the filing of any forms received from such government authority or agency promptly after receipt thereof.

ARTICLE 7– DEFAULT

- 37 -

Section 7.2 Notice of Events of Default

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Trustee shall, within 30 days after it receives written notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default, give notice of such Event of Default to the Debentureholders in the manner provided in Section 12.2, provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Trustee shall have been requested to do so by the holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, the Trustee shall not be required to give such notice if the Trustee in good faith shall have determined that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Debentureholders and shall have so advised the Corporation in writing.

When notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default has been given and the Event of Default is thereafter cured, notice that the Event of Default is no longer continuing shall be given by the Trustee to the Debentureholders within 15 days after the Trustee becomes aware the Event of Default has been cured.

Section 7.3 Waiver of Default

(1) Upon the happening of any Event of Default hereunder:

(a)

the holders of the Debentures shall have the power (in addition to the powers exercisable by Extraordinary Resolution as hereinafter provided) by requisition in writing by the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of Debentures then outstanding, to instruct the Trustee to waive any Event of Default and to cancel any declaration made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.1 and the Trustee shall thereupon waive the Event of Default and cancel such declaration, or either, upon such terms and conditions as shall be prescribed in such requisition; and

(b)

the Trustee, so long as it has not become bound to declare the principal and interest on the Debentures then outstanding to be due and payable, or to obtain or enforce payment of the same, shall have power to waive any Event of Default if, in the Trustee’s opinion, the same shall have been cured or adequate satisfaction made therefor, and in such event to cancel any such declaration theretofore made by the Trustee in the exercise of its discretion, upon such terms and conditions as the Trustee may deem advisable.

(2) No such act or omission either of the Trustee or of the Debentureholders shall extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect any subsequent Event of Default or the rights resulting therefrom.

Section 7.4 Enforcement by the Trustee

(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 and Section 2.2 and to the provisions of any Extraordinary Resolution that may be passed by the Debentureholders, if the Corporation shall fail to pay to the Trustee, forthwith after the same shall have been declared to be due and payable under Section 7.1, the principal of 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 25% in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding and upon being funded and 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 such principal and interest on all 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.

first, in payment or in reimbursement to the Trustee of its compensation, costs, charges, expenses, borrowings, advances or other monies furnished or provided by or at the instance of the Trustee in or about the execution of its trusts under, or otherwise in relation to, this Indenture, with interest thereon as herein provided;

(b)

second, but subject as hereinafter in this Section 7.6 provided, in payment, rateably and proportionately to the holders of Debentures, of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest and interest on amounts in default on the Debentures which shall then be outstanding in the priority of principal first and then premium, if any, and then accrued and unpaid interest and interest on amounts in default unless otherwise directed by Extraordinary Resolution and in that case in such order or priority as between principal and interest as may be directed by such resolution; and

(c)

third, in payment of the surplus, if any, of such monies to the Corporation or its assigns;

provided, however, that no payment shall be made pursuant to clause (b) above in respect of the principal or interest on any Debenture held, directly or indirectly, by or for the benefit of the Corporation or any Subsidiary (other than any Debenture pledged for value and in good faith to a person other than the Corporation or any Subsidiary but only to the extent of such person’s interest therein) except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal and interest (if any) on all Debentures which are not so held.

(2) The Trustee shall not be bound to apply or make any partial or interim payment of any monies coming into its hands if the amount so received by it, after reserving thereout such amount as the Trustee may think necessary to provide for the payments mentioned in Section 7.6(1), is insufficient to make a distribution of at least 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures, but it may retain the money so received by it and invest or deposit the same as provided in Section 13.9 until the money or the investments representing the same, with the income derived therefrom, together with any other monies for the time being under its control shall be sufficient for the said purpose or until it shall consider it advisable to apply the same in the manner hereinbefore set forth. The foregoing shall, however, not apply to a final payment in distribution hereunder.

Section 7.7 Notice of Payment by Trustee

Not less than 15 days’ notice shall be given in the manner provided in Section 12.2 by the Trustee to the Debentureholders of any payment to be made under this Article 7.

After the day so fixed, unless payment shall have been duly demanded and have been refused, the Debentureholders will be entitled to interest only on the balance (if any) of the principal monies, and

- 40 -

interest due (if any) to them, respectively, on the Debentures, after deduction of the respective amounts payable in respect thereof on the day so fixed.

The Trustee shall have the right to demand production of the Debentures in respect of which any payment of principal, interest or premium required by this Article 7 is made and may cause to be endorsed on the same a memorandum of the amount so paid and the date of payment, but the Trustee may, in its discretion, dispense with such production and endorsement, upon such indemnity being given to it and to the Corporation as the Trustee shall deem sufficient.

Section 7.9 Remedies Cumulative

No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, or upon or to the holders of Debentures is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now existing or hereafter to exist by law or by statute.

The chairman of any meeting shall be entitled, both on a show of hands and on a poll, to vote in respect of the Debentures, if any, held by him.

Section 11.7 Poll

On every Extraordinary Resolution, and on any other question submitted to a meeting when demanded by the chairman or by one or more Debentureholders or proxies for Debentureholders, a poll shall be taken in such manner and either at once or after an adjournment as the chairman shall direct. Questions other than Extraordinary Resolutions shall, if a poll be taken, be decided by the votes of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debentures, represented at the meeting and voted on the poll.

Section 11.8 Voting

On a show of hands every person who is present and entitled to vote, whether as a Debentureholder or as proxy for one or more Debentureholders or both, shall have one vote. On a poll each Debentureholder present in person or represented by a proxy duly appointed by an instrument in writing shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures of which he shall then be the holder. In the case of any Debenture denominated in a currency or currency unit other than Canadian dollars, the principal amount thereof for these purposes shall be computed in Canadian dollars on the basis of the conversion of the principal amount thereof at the applicable spot buying rate of exchange for such other currency or currency unit as reported by the Bank of Canada at the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the meeting. Any fractional amounts resulting from such conversion shall be rounded to the nearest $100. A proxy need not be a Debentureholder. In the case of joint holders of a Debenture, any one of them present in person or by proxy at the meeting may vote in the absence of the other or others but in case more than one of them be present in person or by proxy, they shall vote together in respect of the Debentures of which they are joint holders.

Section 11.9 Proxies

A Debentureholder may be present and vote at any meeting of Debentureholders by an authorized representative. The Corporation (in case it convenes the meeting) or the Trustee (in any other case) for the purpose of enabling the Debentureholders to be present and vote at any meeting without producing their Debentures, and of enabling them to be present and vote at any such meeting by proxy and of lodging instruments appointing such proxies at some place other than the place where the meeting is to be held, may from time to time make and vary such regulations as it shall think fit providing for and governing any or all of the following matters:

(a)

the form of the instrument appointing a proxy, which shall be in writing, and the manner in which the same shall be executed and the production of the authority of any person signing on behalf of a Debentureholder;

(b)

the deposit of instruments appointing proxies at such place as the Trustee, the Corporation or the Debentureholder convening the meeting, as the case may be, may, in the notice convening the meeting, direct and the time, if any, before the holding of the meeting or any adjournment thereof by which the same must be deposited; and

(c)

the deposit of instruments appointing proxies at some approved place or places other than the place at which the meeting is to be held and enabling particulars of such instruments appointing proxies to be mailed, faxed, or sent by other electronic means before the meeting to the Corporation or to the Trustee at the place where the same is to be held and for the voting of proxies so deposited as though the instruments themselves were produced at the meeting.

Any regulations so made shall be binding and effective and the votes given in accordance therewith shall be valid and shall be counted. Save as such regulations may provide, the only persons who shall be recognized at any meeting as the holders of any Debentures, or as entitled to vote or be present at the meeting in respect thereof, shall be Debentureholders and persons whom Debentureholders have by instrument in writing duly appointed as their proxies.

Not less than 10 days’ notice shall be given of the time and place of such adjourned meeting in the manner provided in Section 12.2.

(2) If any notice given in accordance with the foregoing paragraph would be unlikely to reach the Debentureholders to whom it is addressed in the ordinary course of post by reason of an interruption in mail service, whether at the place of dispatch or receipt or both, the Corporation shall give such notice by publication at least once in the city of Toronto (or in such of those cities as, in the opinion of the Trustee, is sufficient in the particular circumstances), each such publication to be made in a daily newspaper of general circulation in the designated city.

ARTICLE 13– CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 13.1 No Conflict of Interest

The Trustee represents to the Corporation that, to the best of its knowledge, at the date of execution and delivery by it of this Indenture, there exists no material conflict of interest in the role of the Trustee as a fiduciary hereunder but, if, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.1, such a material conflict of interest exists, or hereafter arises, the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, and the Debentures issued hereunder, shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only that such material conflict of interest exists or arises but the Trustee shall, within 30 days after ascertaining that it has a material conflict of interest, either eliminate such material conflict of interest or resign in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 13.2.

Section 13.2 Replacement of Trustee

(1) The Trustee may resign its trust and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder by giving to the Corporation 90 days’ notice in writing or such shorter notice as the Corporation may accept as sufficient. If at any time a material conflict of interest exists in the Trustee’s role as a fiduciary hereunder the Trustee shall, within 30 days after ascertaining that such a material conflict of interest exists, either eliminate such material conflict of interest or resign in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 13.2. The validity and enforceability of this Indenture and of the Debentures issued hereunder shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only that such a material conflict of interest exists. 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 forthwith 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 Judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, on such notice as such Judge may direct at the Corporation’s expense, 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 and the appointment of such new Trustee shall be effective only upon such new Trustee becoming bound by this Indenture. Any new Trustee appointed under any provision of this Section 13.2 shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in all of the Provinces of Canada. On any new appointment the new Trustee shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Trustee.

(2) Any company into which the Trustee may be merged or, with or to which it may be consolidated, amalgamated or sold, or any company resulting from any merger, consolidation, sale or amalgamation to

- 55 -

which the Trustee shall be a party, or any company which shall purchase all or substantially all of the corporate trust book of business of the Trustee, 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 of the Corporation, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument assigning and transferring 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.

Section 13.3 Duties of Trustee

In the exercise of the rights, duties and obligations prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee shall act honestly and in good faith and exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent trustee would exercise in comparable circumstances.

In the exercise of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder the Trustee may, if acting in good faith, rely, as to the truth of the statements and accuracy of the opinions expressed therein, upon statutory declarations, opinions, reports or certificates furnished pursuant to any covenant, condition or requirement of this Indenture or required by the Trustee to be furnished to it in the exercise of its rights and duties hereunder, if the Trustee examines such statutory declarations, opinions, reports or certificates and determines that they comply with Section 13.5, if applicable, and with any other applicable requirements of this Indenture. The Trustee may nevertheless, in its discretion, require further proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable. Without restricting the foregoing, the Trustee may rely on an opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee notwithstanding that it is delivered by a solicitor or firm which acts as solicitors for the Corporation.

Section 13.5 Evidence and Authority to Trustee, Opinions, etc.

(1) The Corporation shall furnish to the Trustee evidence of compliance with the conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to any action or step required or permitted to be taken by the Corporation or the Trustee under this Indenture or as a result of any obligation imposed under this Indenture, including without limitation, the certification and delivery of Debentures hereunder, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the taking of any other action to be taken by the Trustee at the request of or on the application of the Corporation, forthwith if and when (a) such evidence is required by any other Section of this Indenture to be furnished to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Section 13.5, or (b) the Trustee, in the exercise of its rights and duties under this Indenture, gives the Corporation written notice requiring it to furnish such evidence in relation to any particular action or obligation specified in such notice.

Such evidence shall be, so far as appropriate, in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section.

(4) Each statutory declaration, certificate, opinion or report with respect to compliance with a condition precedent provided for in this Indenture shall include (a) a statement by the person giving the evidence that he has read and is familiar with those provisions of this Indenture relating to the condition precedent in question, (b) a brief statement of the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such evidence are based, (c) a statement that, in the belief of the person giving such evidence, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to make the statements or give the opinions contained or expressed therein, and (d) a statement whether in the opinion of such person the conditions precedent in question have been complied with or satisfied.

(5) The Corporation shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee at any time if the Trustee reasonably so requires, its certificate that the Corporation has complied with all covenants, conditions or other requirements contained in this Indenture, the non-compliance with which would, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, or otherwise, constitute an Event of Default, or if such is not the case, specifying the covenant, condition or other requirement which has not been complied with and giving particulars of such non-compliance. The Corporation shall, whenever the Trustee so requires, furnish the Trustee with evidence by way of statutory declaration, opinion, report or certificate as specified by the Trustee as to any action or step required or permitted to be taken by the Corporation or as a result of any obligation imposed by this Indenture.

Section 13.6 Officer’s Certificates Evidence

Subject to Sections 13.1 and 13.3, the Trustee may, in its personal or other capacity, buy, sell, lend upon and deal in the Debentures and generally contract and enter into financial transactions with the Corporation or otherwise, without being liable to account for any profits made thereby.

Section 13.9 Investment of Monies Held by Trustee

Until released in accordance with this Indenture, monies held by Trustee shall be kept segregated in the records of the Trustee and shall be deposited in one or more interest-bearing trust accounts to be maintained by the Trustee in the name of the Trustee at one or more banks having a Standard and Poors Issuer Credit rating of AA- or above (an “Approved Bank”). All amounts held by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall be held by the Trustee pursuant to the term of this Indenture and shall not give rise to a debtor-creditor or other similar relationship. The amounts held by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture are at the sole risk of Corporation and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution of the monies which may result from any deposit made with an Approved Bank pursuant to this Section 13.9, including any losses resulting from a default by the Approved Bank or other credit losses (whether or not resulting from such a default) and any credit or other losses on any deposit liquidated or sold prior to maturity.

Section 13.13 Conditions Precedent to Trustee’s Obligations to Act Hereunder

HEXO CORP.

(A corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario)

8.0% UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

DUE DECEMBER 5, 2022

HEXO CORP. (the “Corporation”) for value received hereby acknowledges itself indebted and, subject to the provisions of the Debenture Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of December 5, 2019 between the Corporation and TSX TRUST COMPANY (the “Trustee”), promises to pay to [●], the registered holder hereof on December 5, 2022 or on such earlier date as the principal amount hereof may become due in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (any such date, the “Maturity Date”) the principal sum of [●] Dollars ($[●]) in lawful money of Canada on presentation and surrender of this Debenture at the main branch of the Trustee in Toronto, Ontario in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and, subject as hereinafter provided, to pay interest on the principal amount hereof from, and including, the date hereof, or from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment hereon, whichever is later, at the rate of 8.0% per annum (based on a year of 360 days comprised of twelve

A - 1

30-day months), in like money, in arrears in equal (with the exception of the first interest payment which will include interest from December 5, 2019 as set forth below) quarterly instalments (less any tax required by law to be deducted) on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 in each year commencing on December 31, 2019 and the last payment (representing interest payable from the last Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date) to fall due on the Maturity Date and, should the Corporation at any time make default in the payment of any principal, premium, if any, or interest, to pay interest on the amount in default at the same rate, in like money and on the same dates. For certainty, the first interest payment will include interest accrued from December 5, 2019 to December 31, 2019, which will be equal to $57.77 for each $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures.

This Debenture is one of the 8.0% Unsecured Convertible Debentures (referred to herein as the “Debentures”) of the Corporation issued or issuable under the provisions of the Indenture. The Debentures authorized for issue immediately are limited to an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 in lawful money of Canada, in connection with the non-brokered private placement thereof. Reference is hereby expressly made to the Indenture for a description of the terms and conditions upon which the Debentures are or are to be issued and held and the rights and remedies of the holders of the Debentures and of the Corporation and of the Trustee, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture were herein set forth to all of which provisions the holder of this Debenture by acceptance hereof assents.

The Debentures are issuable only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, Debentures of any denomination may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures in any other authorized denomination or denominations.

At any time on or after December 7, 2020, any part, being $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of the principal of this Debenture, provided that the principal amount of this Debenture is in a denomination in excess of $1,000, is convertible, at the option of the holder hereof, upon surrender of this Debenture at the principal office of the Trustee in Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the Maturity Date or, if called for repurchase pursuant to a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture) on the Business Day immediately prior to the payment date, into common shares of the Corporation (the “Common Shares”) (without adjustment for interest accrued hereon or for dividends or distributions on Common Shares issuable upon conversion) at a conversion price of $3.16 (the “Conversion Price”) per Common Share, being a rate of approximately 316.45 Common Shares for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, all subject to the terms and conditions and in the manner set forth in the Indenture. No Debentures may be converted during the five Business Days preceding each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 in each year, commencing December 31, 2019, as the registers of the Trustee will be closed during such periods. The Indenture makes provision for the adjustment of the Conversion Price in the events therein specified. No fractional Common Shares will be issued on any conversion, and any Common Shares so issuable will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Holders converting their Debentures will receive accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If a Debenture is surrendered for conversion on an Interest Payment Date or during the five preceding Business Days, the person or persons entitled to receive Common Shares in respect of the Debentures so surrendered for conversion shall not become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares until the Business Day following such Interest Payment Date and, for clarity, any interest payable on such Debentures will be for the account of the holder of record of such Debentures at the close of business on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date.

Subject to the provisions in the Indenture and without further action on the part of the registered holder, if at any time during the Conversion Period, the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) (or such other recognized stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed for trading) for 15 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $7.50, as adjusted in

A - 2

accordance with the Indenture, the Corporation may deliver a written notice (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) to the registered holder to cause the registered holder to convert all but not less than the principal amount of the Debentures into that number of Common Shares of the Corporation equal to the principal amount of the Debentures to the date of such mandatory conversion divided by the Conversion Price. The effective date for the mandatory conversion (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) shall be: (a) the date stipulated in the Mandatory Conversion Notice; or (b) if no date is so stipulated in the Mandatory Conversion Notice, the date that is 30 days following the date of such Mandatory Conversion Notice, and upon such Mandatory Conversion Date: (i) all of the principal amount of the Debentures shall be deemed to be converted into Common Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price; and (ii) the registered holder shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as at the Mandatory Conversion Date as the holder of the number of Common Shares, as applicable, into which the Debentures are convertible. In the event that the Corporation delivers a Mandatory Conversion Notice, upon surrender of this Debenture to the Trustee, the Corporation shall deliver certificates for the Common Shares into which the Debentures have been converted, or at the direction of the Corporation, Direct Registration System Advices for such Common Shares to be held in book entry form.

Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, on the Maturity Date, the holders of the Debentures shall have the right to require the Corporation to repay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding through the issuance of Common Shares in satisfaction of such amounts at a price equal to the Current Market Price at the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date, being the VWAP of the Common Shares on the TSX, if the Common Shares are listed on the TSX, for the 5 consecutive trading days ending on the date immediately preceding the applicable date, or if the Common Shares are not listed on the TSX, the principal securities exchange or market on which the Common Shares are listed or quoted, or if no such prices are available, the fair value of a Common Share as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the holders of the Debentures shall, in their sole discretion, have the right to require the Corporation to, either: (i) purchase the Debentures (the “Change of Control Purchase Option”) at 115% of the principal amount thereof plus unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date the Debentures are so repurchased; or (ii) convert the Debentures at the Conversion Price. If 90% or more of the principal amount of all Debentures outstanding on the date the Corporation provides notice of a Change of Control to the Trustee have been surrendered for purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Purchase Option, the Corporation has the right to redeem all the remaining outstanding Debentures on the same date and at the same price.

If an offer is made for the Debentures which is a take-over bid for the Debentures within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and 90% or more of the principal amount of all the Debentures (other than Debentures held at the date of the offer by or on behalf of the Offeror, associates or affiliates of the Offeror or anyone acting jointly or in concert with the Offeror) are taken up and paid for by the Offeror, the Offeror will be entitled to acquire the Debentures of those holders who did not accept the offer on the same terms as the Offeror acquired the first 90% of the principal amount of the Debentures.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture, and by all other Debentures now or hereafter certified and delivered under the Indenture, is a direct unsecured obligation of the Corporation.

The Debentures rank subordinate in right of payment to all Senior Debt. Specifically but without limitation, (a) payment of principal, interest or any other amount under the Debentures (including without limitation, payment by way of exchange, set-off, purchase or redemption but excluding conversion) shall be indefinitely postponed where a default or event of default exists under any Senior Debt or would be caused thereby, (b) enforcement of the Debentures shall be subject to an indefinite

A - 3

standstill in favour of the Senior Debt (subject only to traditional rights preservation steps) where a default or event of default exists under any Senior Debt, and (c) there shall be turnover obligations in favour of the Senior Debt with respect to any payments received in contravention of such terms.

These Debentures and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion hereof have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state of the United States. The Debentures and Common Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (as such term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is available.

The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all holders of Debentures outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments signed by the holders of a specified majority of Debentures outstanding, which resolutions or instruments may have the effect of amending the terms of this Debenture or the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions disclaiming any personal liability on the part of holders of Common Shares and officers, directors and employees of the Corporation in respect of any obligation or claim arising out of the Indenture or this Debenture.

This Debenture may only be transferred, upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, in one of the registers to be kept at the principal office of the Trustee in the City of Toronto and in such other place or places and/or by such other registrars (if any) as the Corporation with the approval of the Trustee may designate. No transfer of this Debenture shall be valid unless made on the register by the registered holder hereof or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives, or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee or other registrar, and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Trustee and/or other registrar may prescribe and upon surrender of this Debenture for cancellation. Thereupon a new Debenture or Debentures in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange hereof.

This Debenture shall not become obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been certified by the Trustee under the Indenture.

Capitalized words or expressions used in this Debenture shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Indenture. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Debenture and the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.
