nor
any other representative on behalf of the Company has made any
representations with respect to registration under the Securities

qualification under Canadian Securities Laws of the Purchased Securities

that there can be no assurance that there will be any market for
the
Purchased Securities or the Second Debenture Shares in the United
States
in the foreseeable future or any liquid market for four months,
and that,

otherwise; and, provided further, that the Company reserves the right not
to
provide information and to exclude the Observer from any meeting or portion

Exhibit
“II”
1.
|
Definitions
|
In
this
Exhibit II:
(a)
|
“Current
Market Price” per Share or Participating Share at any date shall be the
weighted average price per share for such shares for any 20 consecutive
trading days (such 20 consecutive trading days being selected by
the
Corporation) commencing not more than 25 trading days before such
date on
such stock exchange on which such shares are listed as may be selected
for
such purpose by the directors of the Corporation or if such shares
are not
listed on any stock exchange, then on an automated quotation system,
such
as NASDAQ or the over the counter market. The weighted average
price shall
be determined by dividing the aggregate sale price of all such
shares so
sold on the exchange, system or market, as the case may be, during
the
said 20 consecutive trading days by the total number of such shares
so
sold. If such shares are not listed on any stock exchange, automated
quotation system or traded on an over the counter market, the Current
Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors
of the Corporation.
|
(b)
|
“Dividends
Paid in the Ordinary Course” means cash dividends declared payable on the
Shares in any fiscal year of the Corporation to the extent that
such cash
dividends do not exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of: (i)
125% of the
aggregate amount or value of dividends declared payable by the
Corporation
on the Shares in its immediately preceding fiscal year; and (ii)
50% of
the aggregate net earnings of the Corporation, before extraordinary
items,
for its immediately preceding fiscal year (less the amount or value
of all
dividends paid or payable in respect of such fiscal year) as shown
in the
audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for
such
preceding fiscal year or, if there are no audited financial statements
with respect to such period, computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistent with the applications
made in
preparation of the most recent audited consolidated financial statements
of the Corporation, and for such purpose the amounts of any dividend
paid
in shares shall be the aggregate stated value of such shares and
the
amount of any dividend paid in other than cash or shares shall
be the fair
market value of such dividend as declared by resolution passed
by the
board of directors of the
Corporation.
|
(c)
|
“Participating
Share” means a share that carries the right to participate in earnings
or
in capital on a liquidation or winding-up to an unlimited degree,
or which
ranks, in terms of priority, equally with the Shares with respect
to
participation in earnings or in capital on a liquidation or
winding-up.
|

2.
|
Adjustment
of Subscription Rights
|
The
Subscription Price in effect and the number and type of securities purchasable
under the Warrant at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time
as follows:
(a)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior to
the Expiry
Time, the Corporation shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding
Shares into a greater number of shares, (ii) reduce, combine or
consolidate the outstanding Shares into a smaller number of shares,
or
(iii) issue Shares or other Participating Shares to the holders
of all or
substantially all of the outstanding Shares by way of a stock dividend,
the Subscription Price in effect on the effective date of any such
event
shall be adjusted immediately after such event or on the record
date for
such issue of Shares or other Participating Shares by way of stock
dividend, as the case may be, so that it shall equal the amount
determined
by multiplying the Subscription Price in effect immediately prior
to such
event by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total
number of
Shares and other Participating Shares outstanding immediately prior
to
such event and of which the denominator shall be the total number
of
Shares and other Participating Shares outstanding immediately after
such
event; and the number of Shares which the Holder is entitled to
purchase
under the terms of this Warrant certificate shall be adjusted at
the same
time by multiplying the number by the inverse of the aforesaid
fraction;
such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event
referred to
in this subsection (a)
shall occur; any such issue of Shares or other Participating Shares
by way
of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record
date
for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number
of
outstanding Shares or other Participating Shares immediately after
such
event under this subsection (a)
and subsection (e)
of
this Section.
|
(b)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior
to the
Expiry Time the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance
of
rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the
holders of
the outstanding Shares, entitling them, for a period expiring not
more
than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase
Shares
or other Participating Shares (or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Shares or other Participating 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 Subscription
Price
shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it
shall
equal the price determined by multiplying the Subscription Price
in effect
on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall
be the
total number of Shares outstanding on such record date plus the
number
arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number
of
additional Shares or other Participating Shares offered for subscription
or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the
convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Current
Market
Price, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of
Shares
outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional
Shares
or other Participating Shares offered for subscription or purchase
(or
into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered
are
convertible or exchangeable); any Shares owned by or held for the
account
of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation shall be
deemed
not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation;
and the
number of Shares which the Holder is entitled to purchase under
the terms
of this Warrant certificate shall be adjusted at the same time
by
multiplying the number by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction;
such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date
is
fixed; to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants
are not so
issued or any such rights, options or warrants are, not exercised
prior to
the expiration thereof, the Subscription Price and the exchange
rate shall
then be re-adjusted to the Subscription Price and the exchange
rate which
would then be in effect based upon the number and aggregate price
of
Shares or other Participating Shares (or securities convertible
into or
exchangeable for Shares or other Participating Shares) actually
issued
upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case
may
be.
|
3
(c)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior
to the
Expiry Time the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making
of a
distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding
Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Shares or Participating
Shares, other than shares distributed to holders of Shares pursuant
to
their exercise of options to receive dividends in the form of such
shares
in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course on the Shares
and other
than the issue of Shares or other Participating Shares to the holders
of
all or substantially all of the outstanding Shares by way of a
stock
dividend, or (ii) rights, options or Warrants (excluding rights
exercisable for 45 days or less) or (iii) evidences of its indebtedness,
or (iv) assets (excluding Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course),
including shares of other corporations, then, in each such case,
the
Subscription Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record
date so
that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Subscription
Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the
numerator
shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record
date
multiplied by the Current Market Price per Share on such record
date, less
the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors
of the
Corporation, acting reasonably, which determination, absent manifest
error, shall be conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or
warrants
or evidences or indebtedness or assets so distributed, and of which
the
denominator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on
such record
date multiplied by such Current Market Price per Share; any Shares
owned
by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not
to be
outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; and the number
of
Shares which the Holder is entitled to purchase under the terms
of this
Warrant certificate shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying
the
number by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction; such adjustment
shall be
made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; to the
extent that
such distribution is not so made, the Subscription Price and the
exchange
rate shall be re-adjusted to the Subscription Price and the exchange
rate
which would then be in effect if such record date had not been
fixed or to
the Subscription Price and the exchange rate which would then be
in effect
based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences
of
indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be,
and in
clause (iv) the term “Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course” shall include
the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed
in
lieu of cash Dividends Paid in the Ordinary
Course.
|
4
(d)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior
to the
Expiry Time there is a reclassification of the Shares at any time
outstanding or a change of the Shares into other shares or a capital
reorganization of the Corporation not covered in subsection (a)
or
a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with
or into
any other corporation or a sale of the property and assets of the
Corporation as or substantially as an entirety to any other person,
a
Holder holding the Warrant under this Warrant certificate which
has not
been exercised prior to the effective date of such reclassification,
capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or
sale shall
thereafter, upon the exercise of the Warrant, be entitled to receive
and
shall accept in lieu of the number of Shares, as then constituted,
to
which the Holder was previously entitled upon exercise of the Warrant,
but
for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the number
of
shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of
the
corporation resulting from such reclassification, consolidation,
amalgamation or merger or of the person to which such sale may
be made, as
the case may be, that such Holder would have been entitled to receive
on
such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation,
amalgamation, merger or sale if, on the effective date thereof,
the Holder
had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which
the Holder
was previously entitled upon due exercise of the Warrant; and in
any case,
if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application
of
the provisions set forth in this Warrant certificate with respect
to the
rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the
provisions set forth in this Warrant certificate shall thereafter
correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably
be, in
relation to any shares or securities or property to which the Holder
may
be entitled upon the exercise of the Warrant
thereafter.
|
(e)
|
In
any case in which this Warrant certificate 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 the Warrant if exercised
after
such record date and before the occurrence of such event the kind
and
amount of shares, other securities or property to which it would
be
entitled upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required
by such
event; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to
the Holder
an appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’s right to receive the
kind and amount of shares, other securities or property to which
it would
be entitled upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment
and
the right to receive any distributions made or declared in favour
of
holders of record of Shares as constituted from time to time on
and after
such date as the Holder would, but for the provisions of this
subsection(e),
have received, or become entitled to receive, on such
exercise.
|
(f)
|
The
adjustments provided for in this Warrant certificate 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 Warrant
certificate provided that, notwithstanding any other provision
of this
Section, no adjustment of the Subscription Price or number of Shares,
as
then constituted, purchasable shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease, of at least 1% in the Subscription
Price or the number of Shares, as then constituted, purchasable
then in
effect; provided however, that any adjustments which by reason
of this
subsection (f)
are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
into
account in any subsequent
adjustment.
|
5
(g)
|
In
the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments
provided
in this Warrant certificate, such question shall, absent manifest
error,
be conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants appointed
by
the Corporation and acceptable to the Holder (who may be the auditors
of
the Corporation) with the assistance of legal counsel, who may
be legal
counsel to the Corporation; such accountants shall have access
to all
necessary records of the Corporation and such determination shall
be
binding upon the Corporation and the
Holder.
|
(h)
|
As
a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require
an
adjustment in any of the subscription rights pursuant to the terms
of the
Warrant, including the number of Shares which are to be received
upon the
exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take any action which may,
in the
opinion of legal counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation
may
validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all
the Shares
which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof
in
accordance with the provisions
hereof.
|
(i)
|
In
case the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Shares
other than
action described in this Warrant certificate, which in the opinion
of the
board of directors of the Corporation would materially affect the
rights
of Holder, the Subscription Price and/or the number of Shares which
may be
acquired upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted in such
manner and
at such time, by action of the board of directors of the Corporation,
in
its sole reasonable discretion as it may determine to be equitable
in the
circumstances, provided that no such adjustment shall be made unless
prior
approval of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed for
trading
has been obtained. Failure of the board of directors of the Corporation
to
make such an adjustment shall be conclusive evidence that the board
of
directors of the Corporation have determined that it is equitable
to make
no adjustment in the circumstances.
|
3.
|
Notice
of Adjustment
|
At
least
21 days prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of
any
event referred to in Clause 2,
the
Corporation shall notify the Holder of the particulars of such event and
the
estimated amount of any adjustment required as a result thereof. Promptly
after
the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment in the Subscription
Price or in any of the subscription rights pursuant to the terms of the Warrant
pursuant to this Warrant certificate, including the number of Shares, as
then
constituted, which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation
shall forthwith deliver to the Holder a certificate of the Corporation
specifying the particulars of such event and the required adjustment and
the
computation of such adjustment and give notice to the Holder of the particulars
of such event and the required adjustment in the manner provided in Subsection
5(b)
hereof.

Definitions
|
In
this
Exhibit I:
(a)
|
“Current
Market Price”
per Share or Participating Share at any date shall be the weighted
average
price per share for such shares for any 20 consecutive trading
days (such
20 consecutive trading days being selected by the Corporation)
commencing
not more than 25 trading days before such date on such stock exchange
on
which such shares are listed as may be selected for such purpose
by the
directors of the Corporation or if such shares are not listed on
any stock
exchange, then on an automated quotation system, such as NASDAQ
or the
over the counter market. The weighted average price shall be determined
by
dividing the aggregate sale price of all such shares so sold on
the
exchange, system or market, as the case may be, during the said
20
consecutive trading days by the total number of such shares so
sold. If
such shares are not listed on any stock exchange, automated quotation
system or traded on an over the counter market, the Current Market
Price
shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the
Corporation.
|
(b)
|
“Dividends
Paid in the Ordinary Course”
means cash dividends declared payable on the Shares in any fiscal
year of
the Corporation to the extent that such cash dividends do not exceed,
in
the aggregate, the greater of: (i) 125% of the aggregate amount
or value
of dividends declared payable by the Corporation on the Shares
in its
immediately preceding fiscal year; and (ii) 50% of the aggregate
net
earnings of the Corporation, before extraordinary items, for its
immediately preceding fiscal year (less the amount or value of
all
dividends paid or payable in respect of such fiscal year) as shown
in the
audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for
such
preceding fiscal year or, if there are no audited financial statements
with respect to such period, computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistent with the applications
made in
preparation of the most recent audited consolidated financial statements
of the Corporation, and for such purpose the amounts of any dividend
paid
in shares shall be the aggregate stated value of such shares and
the
amount of any dividend paid in other than cash or shares shall
be the fair
market value of such dividend as declared by resolution passed
by the
board of directors of the
Corporation.
|
(c)
|
“Participating
Share”
means a share that carries the right to participate in earnings
or in
capital on a liquidation or winding-up to an unlimited degree,
or which
ranks, in terms of priority, equally with the Shares with respect
to
participation in earnings or in capital on a liquidation or
winding-up.

|
Adjustment
of Subscription Rights
|
The
Conversion Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from
time
to time as follows:
(a)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior
to 5:00
p.m. (Toronto time) on the Maturity Date (the “Expiry Time”), the
Corporation shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Shares
into a
greater number of shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the
outstanding Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issue
Shares
or other Participating Shares to the holders of all or substantially
all
of the outstanding Shares by way of a stock dividend, the Conversion
Price
in effect on the effective date of any such event shall be adjusted
immediately after such event or on the record date for such issue
of
Shares or other Participating Shares by way of stock dividend,
as the case
may be, so that it shall equal the amount determined by multiplying
the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event by a
fraction,
of which the numerator shall be the total number of Shares and
other
Participating Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event;
such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred
to in
this subsection (a)
shall occur; any such issue of Shares or other Participating Shares
by way
of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record
date
for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number
of
outstanding Shares or other Participating Shares immediately after
such
event under this subsection (a)
and subsection (e)
of
this Section.
|
(b)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior
to the
Expiry Time the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance
of
rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the
holders of
the outstanding Shares, entitling them, for a period expiring not
more
than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase
Shares
or other Participating Shares (or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Shares or other Participating 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 Shares outstanding on such record date plus the
number
arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number
of
additional Shares or other Participating Shares offered for subscription
or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the
convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Current
Market
Price, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of
Shares
outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional
Shares
or other Participating Shares offered for subscription or purchase
(or
into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered
are
convertible or exchangeable); any Shares owned by or held for the
account
of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation shall be
deemed
not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation;
such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date
is
fixed; to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants
are not so
issued or any such rights, options or warrants are, not exercised
prior to
the expiration thereof, the Conversion Price shall then be re-adjusted
to
the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the
number
and aggregate price of Shares or other Participating Shares (or
securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Shares or other Participating
Shares)
actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants,
as
the case may be.
|
3
(c)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior
to the
Expiry Time the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making
of a
distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding
Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Shares or Participating
Shares, other than shares distributed to holders of Shares pursuant
to
their exercise of options to receive dividends in the form of such
shares
in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course on the Shares
and other
than the issue of Shares or other Participating Shares to the holders
of
all or substantially all of the outstanding Shares by way of a
stock
dividend, or (ii) rights, options or warrants (excluding rights
exercisable for 45 days or less) or (iii) evidences of its indebtedness,
or (iv) assets (excluding Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course),
including shares of other corporations, then, in each such case,
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 Shares outstanding on such record
date
multiplied by the Current Market Price per Share on such record
date, less
the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors
of the
Corporation, acting reasonably, which determination, absent manifest
error, shall be conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or
warrants
or evidences or indebtedness or assets so distributed, and of which
the
denominator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on
such record
date multiplied by such Current Market Price per Share; any Shares
owned
by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not
to be
outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; such adjustment
shall
be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; to the
extent
that such distribution is not so made, 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 such shares or rights, options or warrants
or
evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the
case may
be, and in clause (iv) the term “Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course”
shall include the value of any securities or other property or
assets
distributed in lieu of cash Dividends Paid in the Ordinary
Course.
|
(d)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior
to the
Expiry Time there is a reclassification of the Shares at any time
outstanding or a change of the Shares into other shares or a capital
reorganization of the Corporation not covered in subsection (a)
or
a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with
or into
any other corporation or a sale of the property and assets of the
Corporation as or substantially as an entirety to any other person,
the
Purchaser, to the extent that the Loan has not been converted,
prior to
the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization,
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale shall thereafter, upon
conversion of the Loan, be entitled to receive and shall accept
in lieu of
the number of Shares, as then constituted, to which the Purchaser
was
previously entitled upon conversion of the Loan, the number of
shares or
other securities or property of the Corporation or of the corporation
resulting from such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation
or
merger or of the person to which such sale may be made, as the
case may
be, that the Purchaser would have been entitled to receive on such
reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation,
merger or sale if, on the effective date thereof, the Purchaser
had been
the registered holder of the number of Shares to which the Purchaser
was
previously entitled upon due conversion of the Loan; and in any
case, if
necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application
of the
provisions set forth in this Agreement with respect to the rights
and
interests thereafter of the Purchaser to the end that the provisions
set
forth in this Agreement shall thereafter correspondingly be made
applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any
shares or
securities or property to which the Purchaser may be entitled upon
the
conversion of the Loan thereafter.
|
4
(e)
|
In
any case in which this Agreement 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 Purchaser if converted after such record date and
before
the occurrence of such event the kind and amount of shares, other
securities or property to which it would be entitled upon such
exercise by
reason of the adjustment required by such event; provided, however,
that
the Corporation shall deliver to the Purchaser an appropriate instrument
evidencing the Purchaser’s right to receive the kind and amount of shares,
other securities or property to which it would be entitled upon
the
occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right
to receive
any distributions made or declared in favour of holders of record
of
Shares as constituted from time to time on and after such date
as the
Purchaser would, but for the provisions of this subsection (e),
have received, or become entitled to receive, on such
exercise.
|
(f)
|
The
adjustments provided for in this Agreement 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 Agreement provided that,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment
of the
Conversion Price, as then constituted, purchasable 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 subsection (f)
are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
into
account in any subsequent
adjustment.
|
(g)
|
In
the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments
provided
in this Agreement, such question shall, absent manifest error,
be
conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants appointed
by
the Corporation and acceptable to the Purchaser (who may be the
auditors
of the Corporation) with the assistance of legal counsel, who may
be legal
counsel to the Corporation; such accountants shall have access
to all
necessary records of the Corporation and such determination shall
be
binding upon the Corporation and the
Purchaser.
|
5
(h)
|
As
a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require
an
adjustment in any of the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms
of this
Agreement, the Corporation shall take any action which may, in
the opinion
of legal counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may
validly
and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the Shares
which
the Purchaser is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof
in
accordance with the provisions
hereof.
|
(i)
|
In
case the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Shares
other than
action described in this Agreement, which in the opinion of the
board of
directors of the Corporation would materially affect the rights
of
Purchaser, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner
and at
such time, by action of the board of directors of the Corporation,
in its
sole reasonable discretion as it may determine to be equitable
in the
circumstances, provided that no such adjustment shall be made unless
prior
approval of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed for
trading
has been obtained. Failure of the board of directors of the Corporation
to
make such an adjustment shall be conclusive evidence that the board
of
directors of the Corporation have determined that it is equitable
to make
no adjustment in the circumstances.
|
3.
|
Notice
of Adjustment
|
At
least
21 days prior to the effective date or record date, as the case maybe, of
any
event referred to in Clause 2,
the
Corporation shall notify the Purchaser of the particulars of such event and
the
estimated amount of any adjustment required as a result thereof. Promptly
after
the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment in the Conversion
Price
pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation shall forthwith deliver to the
Purchaser a certificate of the Corporation specifying the particulars of
such
event and the required adjustment and the computation of such adjustment
and
give notice to the Purchaser of the particulars of such event and the required
adjustment in the manner provided in Section 7.3 hereof.

transaction with, a non-arm’s length third party except in the ordinary
course of, and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of, business

Exhibit
I
1.
|
Definitions
|
In
this
Exhibit I:
(a)
|
“Current
Market Price”
per Share or Participating Share at any date shall be the weighted
average
price per share for such shares for any 20 consecutive trading
days (such
20 consecutive trading days being selected by the Corporation)
commencing
not more than 25 trading days before such date on such stock exchange
on
which such shares are listed as may be selected for such purpose
by the
directors of the Corporation or if such shares are not listed on
any stock
exchange, then on an automated quotation system, such as NASDAQ
or the
over the counter market. The weighted average price shall be determined
by
dividing the aggregate sale price of all such shares so sold on
the
exchange, system or market, as the case may be, during the said
20
consecutive trading days by the total number of such shares so
sold. If
such shares are not listed on any stock exchange, automated quotation
system or traded on an over the counter market, the Current Market
Price
shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the
Corporation.
|
(b)
|
“Dividends
Paid in the Ordinary Course”
means cash dividends declared payable on the Shares in any fiscal
year of
the Corporation to the extent that such cash dividends do not exceed,
in
the aggregate, the greater of: (i) 125% of the aggregate amount
or value
of dividends declared payable by the Corporation on the Shares
in its
immediately preceding fiscal year; and (ii) 50% of the aggregate
net
earnings of the Corporation, before extraordinary items, for its
immediately preceding fiscal year (less the amount or value of
all
dividends paid or payable in respect of such fiscal year) as shown
in the
audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for
such
preceding fiscal year or, if there are no audited financial statements
with respect to such period, computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistent with the applications
made in
preparation of the most recent audited consolidated financial statements
of the Corporation, and for such purpose the amounts of any dividend
paid
in shares shall be the aggregate stated value of such shares and
the
amount of any dividend paid in other than cash or shares shall
be the fair
market value of such dividend as declared by resolution passed
by the
board of directors of the
Corporation.
|
(c)
|
“Participating
Share”
means a share that carries the right to participate in earnings
or in
capital on a liquidation or winding-up to an unlimited degree,
or which
ranks, in terms of priority, equally with the Shares with respect
to
participation in earnings or in capital on a liquidation or
winding-tip.
|
2.
|
Adjustment
of Subscription Rights
|
The
Conversion Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from
time
to time as follows:
(a)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior
to 5:00
p.m. (Toronto time) on the Maturity Date (the “Expiry Time”), the
Corporation shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Shares
into a
greater number of shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the
outstanding Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issue
Shares
or other Participating Shares to the holders of all or substantially
all
of the outstanding Shares by way of a stock dividend, the Conversion
Price
in effect on the effective date of any such event shall be adjusted
immediately after such event or on the record date for such issue
of
Shares or other Participating Shares by way of stock dividend,
as the case
may be, so that it shall equal the amount determined by multiplying
the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event by a
fraction,
of which the numerator shall be the total number of Shares and
other
Participating Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event;
such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred
to in
this subsection (a)
shall occur; any such issue of Shares or other Participating Shares
by way
of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record
date
for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number
of
outstanding Shares or other Participating Shares immediately after
such
event under this subsection (a)
and subsection (e)
of
this Section.
|
(b)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior
to the
Expiry Time the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance
of
rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the
holders of
the outstanding Shares, entitling them, for a period expiring not
more
than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase
Shares
or other Participating Shares (or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Shares or other Participating 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 Shares outstanding on such record date plus the
number
arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number
of
additional Shares or other Participating Shares offered for subscription
or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the
convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Current
Market
Price, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of
Shares
outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional
Shares
or other Participating Shares offered for subscription or purchase
(or
into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered
are
convertible or exchangeable); any Shares owned by or held for the
account
of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation shall be
deemed
not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation;
such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date
is
fixed; to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants
are not so
issued or any such rights, options or warrants are, not exercised
prior to
the expiration thereof, the Conversion Price shall then be re-adjusted
to
the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the
number
and aggregate price of Shares or other Participating Shares (or
securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Shares or other Participating
Shares)
actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants,
as
the case may be.
|
2
(c)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior
to the
Expiry Time the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making
of a
distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding
Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Shares or Participating
Shares, other than shares distributed to holders of Shares pursuant
to
their exercise of options to receive dividends in the form of such
shares
in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course on the Shares
and other
than the issue of Shares or other Participating Shares to the holders
of
all or substantially all of the outstanding Shares by way of a
stock
dividend, or (ii) rights, options or warrants (excluding rights
exercisable for 45 days or less) or (iii) evidences of its indebtedness,
or (iv) assets (excluding Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course),
including shares of other corporations, then, in each such case,
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 Shares outstanding on such record
date
multiplied by the Current Market Price per Share on such record
date, less
the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors
of the
Corporation, acting reasonably, which determination, absent manifest
error, shall be conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or
warrants
or evidences or indebtedness or assets so distributed, and of which
the
denominator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on
such record
date multiplied by such Current Market Price per Share; any Shares
owned
by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not
to be
outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; such adjustment
shall
be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; to the
extent
that such distribution is not so made, 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 such shares or rights, options or warrants
or
evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the
case may
be, and in clause (iv) the term “Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course”
shall include the value of any securities or other property or
assets
distributed in lieu of cash Dividends Paid in the Ordinary
Course.
|
(d)
|
If
and whenever at any time following April 17, 2002 and prior
to the
Expiry Time there is a reclassification of the Shares at any time
outstanding or a change of the Shares into other shares or a capital
reorganization of the Corporation not covered in subsection (a)
or
a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with
or into
any other corporation or a sale of the property and assets of the
Corporation as or substantially as an entirety to any other person,
the
Purchaser, to the extent that the Loan has not been converted,
prior to
the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization,
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale shall thereafter, upon
conversion of the Loan, be entitled to receive and shall accept
in lieu of
the number of Shares, as then constituted, to which the Purchaser
was
previously entitled upon conversion of the Loan, the number of
shares or
other securities or property of the Corporation or of the corporation
resulting from such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation
or
merger or of the person to which such sale may be made, as the
case may
be, that the Purchaser would have been entitled to receive on such
reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation,
merger or sale if, on the effective date thereof, the Purchaser
had been
the registered holder of the number of Shares to which the Purchaser
was
previously entitled upon due conversion of the Loan; and in any
case, if
necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application
of the
provisions set forth in this Agreement with respect to the rights
and
interests thereafter of the Purchaser to the end that the provisions
set
forth in this Agreement shall thereafter correspondingly be made
applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any
shares or
securities or property to which the Purchaser may be entitled upon
the
conversion of the Loan thereafter.
|
3
(e)
|
In
any case in which this Agreement 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 Purchaser if converted after such record date and
before
the occurrence of such event the kind and amount of shares, other
securities or property to which it would be entitled upon such
exercise by
reason of the adjustment required by such event; provided, however,
that
the Corporation shall deliver to the Purchaser an appropriate instrument
evidencing the Purchaser’s right to receive the kind and amount of shares,
other securities or property to which it would be entitled upon
the
occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right
to receive
any distributions made or declared in favour of holders of record
of
Shares as constituted from time to time on and after such date
as the
Purchaser would, but for the provisions of this subsection (e),
have received, or become entitled to receive, on such
exercise.
|
(f)
|
The
adjustments provided for in this Agreement 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 Agreement provided that,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment
of the
Conversion Price, as then constituted, purchasable 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 subsection (f)
are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
into
account in any subsequent
adjustment.
|
(g)
|
In
the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments
provided
in this Agreement, such question shall, absent manifest error,
be
conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants appointed
by
the Corporation and acceptable to the Purchaser (who may be the
auditors
of the Corporation) with the assistance of legal counsel, who may
be legal
counsel to the Corporation; such accountants shall have access
to all
necessary records of the Corporation and such determination shall
be
binding upon the Corporation and the
Purchaser.
|
4
(h)
|
As
a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require
an
adjustment in any of the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms
of this
Agreement, the Corporation shall take any action which may, in
the opinion
of legal counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may
validly
and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the Shares
which
the Purchaser is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof
in
accordance with the provisions
hereof.
|
(i)
|
In
case the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Shares
other than
action described in this Agreement, which in the opinion of the
board of
directors of the Corporation would materially affect the rights
of
Purchaser, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner
and at
such time, by action of the board of directors of the Corporation,
in its
sole reasonable discretion as it may determine to be equitable
in the
circumstances, provided that no such adjustment shall be made unless
prior
approval of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed for
trading
has been obtained. Failure of the board of directors of the Corporation
to
make such an adjustment shall be conclusive evidence that the board
of
directors of the Corporation have determined that it is equitable
to make
no adjustment in the circumstances.
|
3.
|
Notice
of Adjustment
|
At
least
21 days prior to the effective date or record date, as the case maybe, of
any
event referred to in Clause , the Corporation shall notify the Purchaser
of the
particulars of such event and the estimated amount of any adjustment required
as
a result thereof. Promptly after the occurrence of any event which requires
an
adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation
shall forthwith deliver to the Purchaser a certificate of the Corporation
specifying the particulars of such event and the required adjustment and
the
computation of such adjustment and give notice to the Purchaser of the
particulars of such event and the required adjustment in the manner provided
in
Section 7.3 hereof.
