Section 2.6 Execution of Debentures

Subject to Section 2.7 with respect to Uncertificated Debentures, all Debentures shall be signed (either manually or by electronic signature) by any one authorized director or officer of the Corporation holding office at the time of signing. An 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 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 2.7 Certification of Debentures

(1)            No Debenture shall be issued or, if issued, shall be obligatory on the Corporation or shall entitle the holder to the benefits of this Indenture, until it has been 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 certified or authenticated on a Written Direction of the Corporation.

(2)            The certificate of the Trustee signed on the Debentures, or interim Debentures hereinafter mentioned, and the authentication of Uncertificated Debentures, 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, and the authentication of Uncertificated 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.

(3)            The Trustee shall certify Uncertificated Debentures (whether upon original issuance, exchange, registration of transfer or otherwise) by completing its Internal Procedures and the Corporation shall, and hereby acknowledges that it shall, thereupon be deemed to have duly and validly issued such Uncertificated Debentures have been duly issued hereunder and that the holder or holders are entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. The register shall be final and conclusive evidence as to all matters relating to Uncertificated Debentures with respect to which this Indenture requires the Trustee to maintain records or accounts. In case of differences between the register at any time and any other time, the register at the later time shall be controlling, absent manifest error and such Uncertificated Debentures shall be binding on the Corporation.

Section 2.8 Interim Debentures or Certificates

Pending the delivery of definitive Debentures of any series to the Trustee, the Corporation may issue and the Trustee may certify in lieu thereof interim Debentures in such forms and in such denominations and signed in such manner as provided herein, entitling the holders thereof to definitive Debentures of the series when the same are ready for delivery; or the Corporation may execute and the Trustee may certify a temporary Debenture for the whole principal amount of Debentures of the series then authorized to be issued hereunder and the Corporation may 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 of the series 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 all other Debentures of such series 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 2.9 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 reasonably satisfactory to them in their discretion. The applicant shall pay all reasonable expenses incidental to the issuance of any substituted Debenture.

Section 2.10 Concerning Interest

(1)            Unless otherwise specifically provided in the terms of the Debentures of any series, 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 of that series, whichever shall be the later, or, in respect of Debentures subject to a Periodic Offering, from and including their issue date or from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment on such Debentures, in all cases, to and excluding the next Interest Payment Date.

(2)            Unless otherwise specifically provided in the terms of the Debentures of any series, interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. With respect to any series of Debentures, 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.

Section 2.11 Debentures to Rank Pari Passu

The Debentures will be direct unsecured obligations of the Corporation. Each Debenture of the same series of Debentures will rank pari passu with each other Debenture of the same series (regardless of their actual date or terms of issue) and, subject to statutory preferred exceptions, with all other present and future unsecured obligations or indebtedness of the Corporation.

Section 2.12 Payments of Amounts Due on Maturity

Except as may otherwise be provided herein or in any supplemental indenture in respect of any series of Debentures, payments of amounts due upon maturity of the Debentures will be made in the following manner. The Corporation will establish and maintain with the Trustee a Maturity Account for each series of Debentures. Each such Maturity Account shall be maintained by and be subject to the control of the Trustee for the purposes of this Indenture. On or before 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the Business Day immediately prior to each Maturity Date for Debentures outstanding from time to time under this Indenture, the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee a certified cheque or wire transfer for deposit in the applicable Maturity Account in an amount sufficient to pay the cash amount payable in respect of such Debentures (including the principal amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon less any tax required by law to be deducted), provided the Corporation may elect to satisfy this requirement by providing the Trustee with a cheque for such amounts required under this Section 2.12 post-dated to the applicable Maturity Date. The Trustee, on behalf of the Corporation, will pay to each holder entitled to receive payment the principal amount of and premium (if any) and accrued and unpaid interest on the Debenture, upon surrender of the Debenture at any branch of the Trustee designated for such purpose from time to time by the Corporation and the Trustee. The delivery of such funds to the Trustee for deposit to the applicable Maturity Account will satisfy and discharge the liability of the Corporation for the Debentures to which the delivery of funds relates to the extent of the amount delivered (plus the amount of any tax deducted as aforesaid) and such Debentures will thereafter to that extent not be considered as outstanding under this Indenture and such holder will have no other right in regard thereto other than to receive out of the money so delivered or made available the amount to which it is entitled.

Section 2.13 Payment of Interest

The following provisions shall apply to Debentures, except as otherwise provided in any supplemental indenture in respect of any series of Debentures or specified in a resolution of the Board of Directors, an Officer’s Certificate or a supplemental indenture relating to a particular series of Debentures:

(a) As interest becomes due on each Debenture (except, subject to certain exceptions set forth herein or in any supplemental indenture in respect of any series of Debentures, 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, wire 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 record date prior to the 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 days prior to each date on which interest becomes due and if payment is made by other means (such as electronic transfer of funds, provided the Trustee must receive confirmation of receipt of funds prior to being able to wire funds to holders), 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. 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.

- 20 -

(b) All payments of interest on Uncertificated Debentures shall be made by wire funds transfer or certified cheque made payable (i) to the Depository or its nominee on the day interest is payable for subsequent payment to Beneficial Holders of the applicable Uncertificated Debenture, unless the Corporation and the Depository otherwise agree or (ii) if the Corporation wishes to have the Trustee act as interest paying agent, to the Trustee by no later than the Business Day prior to the day interest is payable for subsequent payment to Beneficial Holders of the applicable Uncertificated Debenture. None of the Corporation, the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee for any Debenture issued as an Uncertificated Debenture will be liable or responsible to any Person for any aspect of the records related to or payments made on account of beneficial interests in any Uncertificated Debenture or for maintaining, reviewing, or supervising any records relating to such beneficial interests.

Article 3 – REGISTRATION, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND OWNERSHIP

Section 3.1 Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures

(1)            With respect to each series of Debentures issuable in whole or in part as one or more Global Debentures and/or as Book Based Only Debentures, the Corporation shall cause to be kept by and at the principal offices of the Trustee in Vancouver, British Columbia and by the Trustee or such other registrar as the Corporation, with the approval of the Trustee, may appoint at such other place or places, if any, as the Corporation may designate with the approval of the Trustee, a register in which shall be entered the name and address of the holder of each such Global Debenture and/or Book Based Only Debenture as holder thereof and particulars of the Global Debenture and/or Book Based Only Debenture held by it, and all transfers thereof. If any Debentures of such series are at any time not Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures, the provisions of Section 3.2 shall govern with respect to registrations of such Debentures.

- 21 -

(2)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, a Global Debenture or Book Based Only Debenture may not be transferred by the registered holder thereof and accordingly, no definitive certificates shall be issued to Beneficial Holders except in the following circumstances or as otherwise specified in a resolution of the Directors, an Officer’s Certificate or a supplemental indenture relating to a particular series of Debentures:

(a) Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures may be transferred by a Depository to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of a Depository to such Depository or to another nominee of such Depository or by a Depository or its nominee to a successor Depository or its nominee;

(b) Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures may be transferred at any time after (i) the Depository for such Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures, as the case may be, or the Corporation has notified the Trustee that the Depository is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures, or (ii) the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency or otherwise ceases to be eligible to be a Depository under Section 2.1(2), provided in each case that at the time of such transfer the Trustee and the Corporation are unable to locate a qualified successor Depository for such Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures;

(c) Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures may be transferred at any time after the Corporation has determined, in its sole discretion, with the consent of the Trustee to terminate the book-entry only registration system or book based entry, as the case may be, in respect of such Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures and has communicated such determination to the Trustee in writing;

(d) Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures may be transferred at any time after the Trustee has been notified that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Debentures of the series issued as a Global Debenture or Book Based Only Debentures, as the case may be, provided that Beneficial Holders of the Debentures representing, in the aggregate, more than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of such series advise the Depository in writing, through the Depository Participants, that the continuation of the book-entry only registration system or book based entry, as applicable, for such series of Debentures is no longer in their best interest and also provided that at the time of such transfer the Debentureholders have not waived the Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.3;

(e) Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures may be transferred if required by applicable law; or

- 22 -

(f) Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures may be transferred if the book-entry only registration system or book based entry, as applicable, ceases to exist.

(3)            With respect to the Global Debentures, unless and until definitive certificates have been issued to Beneficial Holders of the Debentures pursuant to Section 3.1(2):

(a) the Corporation and the Trustee may deal with the Depository for all purposes (including paying interest on the Debentures) as the sole holder of such series of Debentures and the authorized representative of the Beneficial Holders;

(b) the rights of the Beneficial Holders of the Debentures shall be exercised only through the Depository and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Holders and the Depository or the Depository Participants;

(c) the Depository will make book-entry or book based, as applicable, transfers among the Depository Participants; and

(d) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Debentureholders evidencing a specified percentage of the outstanding Debentures, the Depository shall be deemed to be counted in that percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from the Beneficial Holders of the Debentures or the Depository Participants, and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee.

(4)            Whenever a notice or other communication is required to be provided to Debentureholders, unless and until definitive certificate(s) have been issued to Beneficial Holders of the Debentures pursuant to this Section 3.1, the Trustee shall provide all such notices and communications to the Depository for forwarding by the Depository to such Beneficial Holders in accordance with Applicable Securities Legislation. Upon the termination of the book-entry only registration system or book based entry, as applicable, on the occurrence of one of the conditions specified in Section 3.1(2) with respect to a series of Debentures issued hereunder, the Trustee shall notify all applicable Depository Participants and Beneficial Holders, through the Depository, of the availability of definitive Debenture Certificates. Upon surrender by the Depository of the certificate(s) representing the Global Debentures and receipt of new registration instructions from the Depository, the Trustee shall deliver the definitive Debenture Certificates for such Debentures to the holders thereof in accordance with the new registration instructions and thereafter, the registration and transfer of such Debentures will be governed by Section 3.2 and the remaining Sections of this Article 3, as applicable.

(5)            Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Debentures, transfers and exchanges of Debentures and beneficial interests in Global Debentures shall be made in accordance the applicable rules and guidelines of the Securities Transfer Association of Canada.

(6)            Notwithstanding any provisions made in this Indenture for the issuance, certification and authentication of Debentures in physical form as Debentures or Global Debentures, the Debentures issued under the terms of this Indenture may also be issued to the Depository in book based only form, non-certificated and appearing on the register of the Trustee as a book based entry. In the absence of any physical securities being created for certification by the Corporation and authentication by the Trustee both at the initial issuance of the Debentures and at the time of any subsequent additional issuance of Debentures pursuant to the terms of a supplemental indenture, confirmation of the due issuance and validity of any Debentures shall be based upon the comparison of the Debentures in quantity and description appearing under the relevant broker’s instant deposit request identification number to the quantity and description of Debentures as detailed in the Written Direction of the Corporation addressed to the Trustee and to the broker upon whose posting of the Book Based Only Debentures to the book entry records of the Depository on a non-certificated basis on which both the Corporation and the Trustee shall depend. It is the responsibility of the Corporation to make the necessary arrangements with its broker or brokers to obtain, in a timely manner, the necessary instant deposit request identification number to facilitate the issuance of non-certificated Book Based Only Debentures.

- 23 -

(7)            In the establishment and maintenance of a non-certificated Book Based Only Debenture issue, the Trustee shall maintain such a record on its register for Debentures in book based form only. Transfers of Debentures appearing on the register of the Depository shall otherwise occur as provided for in this Indenture. The parties hereto further recognize that, notwithstanding the issuance of Book Based Only Debentures, conversions of Debentures shall occur as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture but the Trustee is permitted to employ whatever reasonable means it may from time to time require in order to guarantee the unhindered (but subject to the terms and conditions hereof) conversion of such Debentures appearing on the register for Debentures in book based only form by making whatever arrangements are deemed necessary by it with the Depository.

Section 3.2 Fully Registered Debentures

Such registration shall be noted on the Debentures by the Trustee or other registrar unless a new Debenture shall be issued upon such transfer.

(2)            No transfer of a Fully Registered Debenture shall be valid unless made on such register referred to in Section 3.2(1) by the registered holder or such holder’s executors, administrators or other legal representatives or an attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee or other registrar upon surrender of the Debentures together with a duly executed form of transfer acceptable to the Trustee upon compliance with such other reasonable requirements as the Trustee or other registrar may prescribe, or unless the name of the transferee shall have been noted on the Debenture by the Trustee or other registrar.

The transferee of a Debenture shall be entitled, after the appropriate form of transfer is lodged with the Trustee or other registrar and upon compliance with all other conditions in that behalf required by this Indenture or by law, to be entered on the register as the owner of such Debenture free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the transferor or any previous holder of such Debenture, save in respect of equities of which the Corporation is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of Debentures, the Corporation shall issue and thereupon the Trustee shall certify and deliver a new Debenture Certificate or confirm the electronic deposit of Uncertificated Debentures of like tenor in the name of the designated transferee and register such transfer in accordance with Section 3.2. If less than all the Debentures evidenced by the Debenture Certificate(s) or Uncertificated Debentures so surrendered are transferred, the transferor shall be entitled to receive, in the same manner, a new Debenture Certificate or electronically deposited Uncertificated Debentures registered in his name evidencing the Debentures not transferred.

Section 3.4 No Notice of Trusts

Neither the Corporation nor the Trustee nor any registrar shall be bound to take notice of or see to the execution of any trust (other than that created by this Indenture) whether express, implied or constructive, in respect of any Debenture, and may transfer the same on the direction of the Person registered as the holder thereof, whether named as trustee or otherwise, as though that Person were the beneficial owner thereof.

(2)            In respect of exchanges of Debentures permitted by subsection 3.6(1), Debentures of any series may be exchanged only at the principal offices of the Trustee in Vancouver, British Columbia or at such other place or places, if any, as may be specified in the Debentures of such series and at such other place or places as may from time to time be designated by the Corporation with the approval of the Trustee. Any Debentures surrendered for exchange shall be surrendered to the Trustee. The Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall certify all Debentures necessary to carry out exchanges as aforesaid. All Debentures surrendered for exchange shall be cancelled.

(3)            Debentures issued in exchange for Debentures which at the time of such issue have been selected or called for redemption at a later date shall be deemed to have been selected or called for redemption in the same manner and shall have noted thereon a statement to that effect.

Notice of such transfer shall be given to the holders of such Debentures.

Section 3.8 Charges for Registration, Transfer and Exchange

For each Debenture exchanged, registered, transferred or discharged from registration, the Trustee or other registrar, except as otherwise herein provided, may make a reasonable charge for its services and in addition may charge a reasonable sum for each new Debenture issued (such amounts to be agreed upon from time to time by the Trustee and the Corporation), and payment of such charges and reimbursement of the Trustee or other registrar for any stamp taxes or governmental or other charges required to be paid shall be made by the party requesting such exchange, registration, transfer or discharge from registration as a condition precedent thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no charge shall be made to a Debentureholder hereunder:

(2)            The Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each of the Debentureholders, hereby waives any and all rights to require a Secured Creditor to pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies with respect to the Corporation or any property and assets subject to any Senior Security or in any other manner to require the marshalling of property, assets or security in connection with the exercise by the Secured Creditors of any rights, remedies or recourses available to them.

Section 6.4 Obligation to Pay Not Impaired

Section 6.5 No Payment if Secured Indebtedness in Default

(1)            Upon the maturity of any Secured Indebtedness by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, or any other enforcement of any Secured Indebtedness, then, except as provided in Section 6.8, all such Secured Indebtedness shall first be paid in full, or shall first have been duly provided for, before any payment is made on account of the Debenture Liabilities.

(2)            In case of a circumstance constituting a default or event of default with respect to any Secured Indebtedness permitting (whether at that time or upon notice, lapse of time, or satisfaction of any other condition precedent) a Secured Creditor to demand payment or accelerate the maturity thereof where the notice of such default or event of default has been given by or on behalf of the holders of Secured Indebtedness to the Corporation or the Corporation otherwise has knowledge thereof, unless and until such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment (by purchase of Debentures or otherwise) shall be made by the Corporation (except as provided in Section 6.8) with respect to the Debenture Liabilities and neither the Trustee nor the holders of Debentures shall be entitled to demand, institute proceedings for the collection of (which shall, for certainty include proceedings related to an adjudication or declaration as to the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Corporation and other similar creditor proceedings), or receive any payment or benefit (including without limitation by set-off, combination of accounts or otherwise in any manner whatsoever) on account of the Debentures after the happening of such a default or event of default (except as provided in Section 6.8), and unless and until such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, such payments shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and, if and when such Secured Indebtedness shall have become due and payable, shall be paid over to, the holders of the Secured Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing an amount of the Secured Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Secured Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Secured Indebtedness.

- 32 -

(3)            The fact that any payment hereunder is prohibited by this Section 6.5 shall not prevent the failure to make such payment from being an Event of Default hereunder.

Section 6.6 Payment on Debentures Permitted

Nothing contained in this Article 6 or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Debentures, shall affect the obligation of the Corporation to make, or prevent the Corporation from making, at any time except as prohibited by Sections 6.2 or 6.5, any payment of principal of or, premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures. The fact that any such payment is prohibited by Sections 6.2 or 6.5 shall not prevent the failure to make such payment from being an Event of Default hereunder. Nothing contained in this Article 6 or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Debentures, shall prevent the conversion of the Debentures or, except as prohibited by Sections 6.2 or 6.5, the application by the Trustee of any monies deposited with the Trustee hereunder for the purpose, to the payment of or on account of the Debenture Liabilities.

Upon request of the Corporation, and upon being furnished an Officer’s Certificate stating that one or more named Persons are Secured Creditors and specifying the amount and nature of the Secured Indebtedness of such Secured Creditor, the Trustee shall enter into a written agreement or agreements with the Corporation and the Person or Persons named in such Officer’s Certificate providing that such Person or Persons are entitled to all the rights and benefits of this Article 6 as a Secured Creditor and for such other matters, such as an agreement not to amend the provisions of this Article 6 and the definitions herein without the consent of such Secured Creditor, as the Secured Creditor may reasonably request. Such agreement shall be conclusive evidence that the indebtedness specified therein is Secured Indebtedness, however, nothing herein shall impair the rights of any Secured Creditor who has not entered into such an agreement.

- 33 -

Section 6.8 Knowledge of Trustee

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 6 or any provision in this Indenture or in the Debentures contained, the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of any Secured Indebtedness or of any default in the payment thereof, or of the existence of any Event of Default or any other fact that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless and until the Trustee has received written notice thereof from the Corporation, any Debentureholder or any Secured Creditor.

Section 6.9 Trustee May Hold Secured Indebtedness

The Trustee is entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 6 with respect to any Secured Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Secured Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture deprives the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

Section 6.10 Rights of Holders of Secured Indebtedness Not Impaired

 No right of any present or future holder of any Secured Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein will at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Corporation or by any non-compliance by the Corporation with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

Section 6.11 Altering the Secured Indebtedness

The holders of the Secured Indebtedness have the right to extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of the Secured Indebtedness or any security therefor and to release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise to deal freely with the Corporation, all without notice to or consent of the Debentureholders or the Trustee and without affecting the liabilities and obligations of the parties to this Indenture or the Debentureholders.

Section 6.12 Additional Indebtedness

This Indenture does not restrict the Corporation from incurring additional indebtedness for borrowed money or other obligations or liabilities (including Secured Indebtedness) or mortgaging, pledging or charging its properties to secure any indebtedness or liabilities. Except for Secured Indebtedness, any additional indebtedness for borrowed money or other obligations or liabilities or other debts will be subordinated to, or rank pari passu with, the Debentures.

Section 6.13 Right of Debentureholder to Convert Not Impaired

The subordination of the Debentures to the Secured Indebtedness and the provisions of this Article 6 do not impair in any way the right of a Debentureholder to convert its Debentures pursuant to Article 7 or the ability of the Corporation to issue Common Shares with respect to such Debentures upon such conversion, on any Interest Payment Date or otherwise.

Section 6.14 Invalidated Payments

 In the event that any of the Secured Indebtedness shall be paid in full and subsequently, for whatever reason, such formerly paid or satisfied Secured Indebtedness becomes unpaid or unsatisfied, the terms and conditions of this Article 6 shall be reinstated and the provisions of this Article shall again be operative until all Secured Indebtedness is repaid in full, provided that such reinstatement shall not give the Secured Creditors any rights or recourses against the Trustee or the Debentureholders for amounts paid to the Debentureholders subsequent to such payment or satisfaction in full and prior to such reinstatement.

- 34 -

Section 6.15 Contesting Security

The Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Debentureholders, agrees that it shall not contest or bring into question the validity, perfection or enforceability of any of the Secured Indebtedness, the Senior Security or the relative priority of the Senior Security.

Article 7 – CONVERSION OF DEBENTURES

Section 7.1 Applicability of Article

(1)            Any Debentures issued hereunder of any series which by their terms are convertible (subject, however, to any applicable restriction of the conversion of Debentures of such series) will be convertible into Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation, at such conversion rate or rates, and on such date or dates and in accordance with such other provisions as shall have been determined at the time of issue of such Debentures and shall have been expressed in this Indenture (including Section 2.3 and Section 3.7 hereof), in such Debentures, in an Officer’s Certificate, or in a supplemental indenture authorizing or providing for the issue thereof.

(2)            Such right of conversion shall extend only to the maximum number of whole Common Shares into which the aggregate principal amount of the Debenture or Debentures surrendered for conversion at any one time by the holder thereof may be converted. Fractional interests in Common Shares shall be adjusted for in the manner provided in Section 7.6.

Section 7.2 Notice of Expiry of Conversion Privilege

Notice of the expiry of the conversion privileges of the Debentures shall be given by or on behalf of the Corporation, not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the Time of Expiry, in the manner provided in Section 15.2.

Section 7.3 Revival of Right to Convert

If the redemption of any Debenture called for redemption by the Corporation is not made or the payment of the purchase price of any Debenture which has been tendered in acceptance of an offer by the Corporation to purchase Debentures for cancellation is not made, in the case of a redemption upon due surrender of such Debenture or in the case of a purchase on the date on which such purchase is required to be made, as the case may be, then, provided the Time of Expiry has not passed, the right to convert such Debentures shall revive and continue as if such Debenture had not been called for redemption or tendered in acceptance of the Corporation’s offer, respectively.

- 35 -

Section 7.4 Manner of Exercise of Right to Convert

(1)            The holder of a Debenture desiring to convert such Debenture in whole or in part into Common Shares shall surrender such Debenture to the Trustee at its principal office in Vancouver, British Columbia 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 their right to convert such Debenture in accordance with the provisions of this Article; provided that with respect to an Uncertificated Debenture, registration and surrender of interests in the Debentures will be made only through the Depository’s non-certificated system. Thereupon such Debentureholder or, subject to 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 subsection 7.4(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 deposit such Common Shares through the Depository’s non-certificated system and make or cause to be made any payment of interest to which such holder is entitled in accordance with subsection 7.4(5). With respect to a Global Debenture, the obligation to surrender a Debenture to the Trustee shall be satisfied if the Trustee makes a notation on the Global Debenture of the principal amount thereof so converted and the Trustee is provided with all other documentation which it may request.

(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 or, in the case of an Uncertificated Debenture which the Trustee received notice of and all necessary documentation in respect of the exercise of the conversion rights 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 subsection 7.4(1); provided that if a Debenture is surrendered for conversion on a day on which the register of Common Shares is closed, the Person or Persons entitled to receive Common Shares shall become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares as at the date on which such registers are next reopened.

(3)            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.

(4)            The holder of any Debenture of which only a part is converted shall, upon the exercise of their right of conversion surrender such Debenture to the Trustee in accordance with subsection 7.4(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 or, with respect to an Uncertificated Debenture, registration and surrender of interests in the Debentures will be made only through the Depository’s non-certificated system.

(5)            The holder of a Debenture surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Section 7.4 shall be entitled (subject to any applicable restriction on the right to receive interest on conversion of Debentures of any series) to receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect thereof, in cash, 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 subsection 7.4(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.

- 36 -

Section 7.5 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,

(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 7.5(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 (c) and (d) of this Section 7.5.

(b) If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry the Corporation shall fix a record date for the payment of a cash dividend or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price on such record date and of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such record date minus the amount in cash per Common Share distributed to holders of Common Shares. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such cash dividend or distribution is not paid, 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.

- 37 -

(c) 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.

(d) 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 7.5(a) or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, binding 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 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 7.5(m). If determined appropriate by the Board of Directors, to give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this Section 7.5(d), 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 7.5(d) shall be a supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to the provisions of Article 17. 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 7.5(d) and which shall apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, amalgamations, consolidations, mergers, share exchanges, acquisitions, combinations, sales or conveyances.

- 38 -

The Corporation shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 7.5(d).

(e) 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 7.5(c), and (ii) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 7.5(b)) (the “Distributed Securities”), then in each such case (unless the Corporation at its option chooses to distribute 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 preceding the record date with respect to such distribution)) the Conversion Price in effect immediately preceding the ex-distribution date fixed for the 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 ex-distribution date by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the five-day VWAP immediately prior to the ex-distribution date and of which the numerator shall be the five-day VWAP for the first five trading days that occur immediately post the ex-distribution date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective five Business Days immediately after the ex-distribution date. 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.

- 39 -

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 “Spin-off 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 “Spin-off 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 Spin-off Valuation Period of the Spin-off Securities or, if no such prices are available, the fair market value of the Spin-off 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 Spin-off 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 Spin-off 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 make adequate provision so that each holder of Debentures shall have the right to receive upon conversion thereof the amount of such Spin-off Securities that such holder of Debentures would have received if such Debentures had been converted on the record date with respect to such distribution.

(f) 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 Section 7.5(f) to any issuer bid would result in a decrease in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such issuer bid under this Section 7.5(f).

For purposes of this Section 7.5(f), 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.

(g) In any case in which this Section 7.5 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 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 7.5(g), have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares pursuant to Section 7.4(2).

- 41 -

(h) The adjustments provided for in this Section 7.5 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 7.5(h) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

(i) 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.

(j) In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Section 7.5, such question shall be conclusively determined 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.

(k) In case the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Shares other than action described in this Section 7.5, 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.

(l) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of any event described in Section 7.5(a), (b), Section 7.5(c), Section 7.5(e) or Section 7.5(f) other than the events described in clauses 7.5(a)(i) or 7.5(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.

(m) Except as stated above in this Section 7.5, 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.

- 42 -

(n) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing in this Section 7.5, 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 7.6 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 Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering any certificate representing such fractional interest, make a cash payment to the holder of such Debenture of an amount equal to the fractional interest which would have been issuable multiplied by the Current Market Price, provided, however, the Corporation shall not be required to make any payment of less than $1.00.

Section 7.7 Forced Conversion

If prior to the Maturity Date, the VWAP of the Common Shares on the TSX (or such other stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed for trading) for 10 consecutive trading days exceeds $[·], as adjusted in accordance with Section 7.5, the Corporation may force conversion of all but not less than all of the principal amount (less any tax required by law to be deducted or withheld) of the Debentures at the Conversion Price, upon giving the Debentureholders 30 days advance written notice by way to the Trustee in accordance with Section 15.3 (the “Forced Conversion Notice”) and concurrently issuing a news release. The Corporation shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest (less any tax required by law to be deducted or withheld) in cash. The holder of a Debenture may convert such Debenture in whole or in part into Common Shares until 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Business Day prior to the date the Debenture is forced to convert in the manner provided in Section 7.7.

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 7.7, the effective date for the forced conversion (the “Forced Conversion Date”) shall be: (a) the date stipulated in the Forced Conversion Notice; or (b) if no date is so stipulated in the Forced Conversion Notice, the date that is 30 days following the date of such Forced Conversion Notice, and upon such Forced Conversion Date: (i) all of the principal amount (less any tax required by law to be deducted or withheld) of the 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 Forced Conversion Date as the holder 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, at Trader's Bank Building 000 – 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx XX X0X 0X0, by the Debentureholders, or in the case of Uncertificated Debentures, the surrender of interests in the Debentures through the Depository’s non-certificated system, the Corporation shall deliver to the Debentureholders certificates for the Common Shares or deposit Common Shares through the Depository’s non-certificated system, as applicable, for the Common Shares into which the Debentures held by them have been converted.

- 43 -

Section 7.8 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 7.9 Cancellation of Converted Debentures

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.4 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 7.10 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 7.5, 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 conclusively determined 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) and such advice or determination shall be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest. When so approved, the Corporation shall, except in respect of any subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation of the Common Shares, forthwith give notice to the Debentureholders in the manner provided in Section 15.2 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 this Section 7.10 covering all the relevant facts in respect of such event, no such notice need be given under this Section 7.10 .

Section 7.11 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 15.2, of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in Section 7.5(a), (b), Section 7.5(c), Section 7.5(d) or Section 7.5(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.

- 44 -

(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 15.2, at least 30 days prior to the (i) effective date of any transaction referred to in Section 7.5(d) 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 7.5(f) stating the consideration paid per Common Share in such transaction.

Section 7.12 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 8 – 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 8.1 To Pay Principal, Premium (if any) and Interest

Section 8.2 To Pay Trustee’s Remuneration

The Corporation will pay the Trustee reasonable remuneration for its services as Trustee hereunder and will repay to the Trustee on demand all monies which shall have been paid by the Trustee in connection with the execution of the trusts hereby created and such monies including the Trustee’s remuneration, shall be payable out of any funds coming into the possession of the Trustee in priority to payment of any principal of the Debentures, interest or premium, if any, thereon. 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.

- 45 -

Section 8.3 To Give Notice of Event of Default

The Corporation shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Debentureholders by way of an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of an Event of Default, its status and the action that the Corporation is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof upon obtaining knowledge of any Event of Default hereunder.

Section 8.4 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 corporate existence and rights, except where failure to do so would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 8.5 Keeping of Books

Section 8.8 Maintain Listing

The Corporation will use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Shares on a recognized stock exchange 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 11 would apply if carried out in compliance with Article 11 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 a recognized stock exchange.

- 46 -

Section 8.9 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 and continuation of an Event of Default unless and until such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist.

Section 8.10 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 under 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, as the case may be, the Corporation shall be entitled to liquidate such number of 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.

(2)            The Corporation confirms that it has either (i) a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act; or (ii) a reporting obligation pursuant to Section 15(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act, and has provided the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate (certifying such reporting obligation and other information as requested by the Trustee). The Corporation covenants that in the event that the Common Shares are no longer registered pursuant to Section 12 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying the Trustee of such termination and such other information as the Trustee may require at the time. The Corporation acknowledges that the Trustee is relying upon the foregoing representation and covenants in order to meet certain SEC obligations with respect to those clients who are filing with the SEC.

(i) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Debentures of that series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.3(1)(j);

Such payment when made shall be deemed to have been made in discharge of the Corporation’s obligations hereunder and any monies so received by the Trustee shall be applied in the manner provided in Section 9.6.

(2)            For greater certainty, for the purposes of this Section 9.1, a series of Debentures shall be in default in respect of an Event of Default if such Event of Default relates to a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures of such series in which case references to Debentures in this Section 9.1 refer to Debentures of that particular series.

- 49 -

(3)            For purposes of this Article 9, where the Event of Default refers to an Event of Default with respect to a particular series of Debentures as described in this Section 9.1, then this Article 9 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Debentures of such series and references in this Article 9 to the Debentures shall mean Debentures of the particular series and references to the Debentureholders shall refer to the Debentureholders of the particular series, as applicable.

The Trustee shall advise the Corporation in writing of such determination to withhold notice.

(2)            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.

(3)            The Trustee will not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default, except Events of Default under Section 9.1(1)(a) or Section 9.1(1)(b) hereof, unless a responsible officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event that is in fact such an Event of Default is received by the Trustee at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Debentures and this Indenture.

Section 9.3 Waiver of Default

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

- 50 -

(b) the Trustee, so long as it has not become bound to declare the principal, premium (if any) and interest (if any) 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 reasonable discretion, upon such terms and conditions as the Trustee may deem advisable in good faith.

(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.

(3)            Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, Debentureholders and/or the Trustee shall not be entitled to waive any Event of Default on behalf of any other Debentureholder:

(2)            The Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, either in its own name or as Trustee of an express trust, or as attorney-in-fact for the holders of the Debentures, or in any one or more of such capacities, to file such proof of debt, amendment of proof of debt, claim, petition or other document as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of the Debentures allowed in any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or its creditors or relative to or affecting its property.

- 51 -

If the Corporation shall solicit from the Debentureholders any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the Corporation may, at its option, by resolution of the Board of Directors, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Debentureholders entitled to take such action, but the Corporation shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Corporation’s discretion. If such a record date is fixed, such action may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Debentureholders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Debentureholders for the purpose of determining whether Debentureholders of the requisite proportion of Debentures outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such action, and for that purpose the Debentures outstanding shall be computed as of such record date. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Debentureholders is a continuing consent by the Debentureholders and every subsequent Debentureholders or portion of the Debenture that evidences the same debt as the consenting Debentureholder’s Debenture, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Debenture. However, any such Debentureholders or subsequent Debentureholders may revoke the consent as to its Debenture if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

Section 16.1 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. Any Trustee that has resigned or was removed shall remain subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent provided therein. 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.

(2)            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.

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, upon receipt by the Trustee of payment in full for any outstanding charges due to it, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all property and money held by the 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.

(4)            If at any time: (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act) or Section 16.20 after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any Debentureholder or then, in any such case, (i) the Corporation may remove the Trustee or (ii) subject to the Trust Indenture Act, any Debentureholder may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.
