3.2 |
Repayment of the Loan. Enterra may not repay the Outstanding Amount until the Maturity Date except as required by C.M.M.G. as a result of an Event of Default. The repayment of the Outstanding Amount will not extinguish the requirement to pay the Introduction Fee. |

INTEREST TERMS AND INTRODUCTION FEE |
4.1 |
Simple interest. Simple interest shall accrue on the Advances made to Enterra pursuant to Section 2.6 of this Agreement at the rate of 3.95% per annum and become due and payable on the Maturity Date or an earlier date as contemplated in Sections 5 or 8 of this Agreement. |
4.2 |
Calculation of Introduction Fee. In addition to the interest and the Outstanding Amount, Enterra shall pay an introduction fee (the “Introduction Fee”) to C.M.M.G., calculated and payable as follows until Enterra has paid an amount equal to 150% of the total amount borrowed by Enterra under this Agreement: |
|
- 4 - |
|
(a) |
From the Closing Date up to and including the Maturity date, the Introduction Fee shall be calculated and payable annually at a rate of 3.5% on all of Enterra’s Net Revenues; |
|
(b) |
Following the Maturity Date, the Introduction Fee shall be calculated and payable annually at a rate of 2% on Enterra’s Net Revenues; |
4.3 |
Payment of Introduction Fee. Enterra shall pay the Introduction Fee to C.M.M.G. on or before 120 days following each fiscal year end of Enterra in an amount based upon the Net Revenues until the Introduction Fee is paid in full by Enterra or Enterra elects to repay the Introduction Fee in accordance with Section 4.4 herein. On the date of payment Enterra will also provide to C.M.M.G., its consolidated income statement. In the event that C.M.M.G. is not satisfied with the consolidated income statement, C.M.M.G. may conduct, at its own expense, an audit of the consolidated income statement for the applicable fiscal year end by an independent accounting firm (the “C.M.M.G. Audit”). Enterra will co-operate fully with the C.M.M.G. Audit. In the event that the C.M.M.G. Audit states the Net Revenues to be greater than 10% of that which was disclosed in the consolidated income statement, Enterra shall pay the Introduction Fee based upon the revenues set out in the C.M.M.G. Audit less the Introduction Fee already paid, if any, based upon the consolidated income statement, and shall compensate C.M.M.G. for all costs associated with conducting the C.M.M.G. Audit. |
4.4 |
Lump Sum Payment of Introduction Fee. At any time, at the sole discretion of Enterra, Enterra may pay, in one lump sum, 60% of the balance owing (“Lump Sum Payment”) on the Introduction Fee to C.M.M.G. and the payment of that amount will completely and immediately terminate the obligation on Enterra to pay the Introduction Fee. |
4.5 |
Criminal Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Lump Sum Payment constitutes a criminal rate of interest in any applicable jurisdiction, the Lump Sum Payment will be reduced to 1% below the criminal rate of interest applicable to that jurisdiction. |
5. |
RIGHT OF CONVERSION |
5.1 |
Conversion. If, as set out in Section 2 of this Agreement, C.M.M.G. has made each Advance within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of a notice from Enterra in the form set out in Schedule A attached hereto, C.M.M.G. is entitled, at its option, to convert (each a “Conversion”), at any time and from time to time, until payment in full at the Maturity Date, all or any part of the Outstanding Amount into units (the “Units”) of Enterra at $0.91 US per Unit. Each Unit shall consist of one share (each a “Conversion Share”) of the Common Stock and one share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle C.M.M.G. to purchase one additional share (each a “Warrant Share”) of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.15 US for a period of one (1) year from the date such Warrant is issued, with an option to extend the exercise period to a period of two (2) years from the date such Warrant is issued. To effect a Conversion, C.M.M.G. shall deliver written notice thereof, in the form set out in Schedule B attached to this Agreement, with appropriate insertions (the “Conversion Notice”), to Enterra at its address as set forth herein. The date upon which the Conversion shall be effective (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date set forth in the Conversion Notice. Upon receipt of the Conversion Notice, Enterra shall promptly sign the Conversion Notice, thereby acknowledging receipt of same, and fax back to C.M.M.G. in accordance with the notice provisions set out herein, then cause its registrar and transfer agent |
|
- 5 - |
to issue the certificates representing the Conversion Shares and the certificates representing the Warrant Shares if C.M.M.G. exercises the Warrants. If Enterra does not agree with the information set out on the Conversion Notice, it will amend the Conversion Notice to reflect the numbers of Units for which there is no dispute and cause those Units to be issued. If the dispute cannot be settled within 30 days, the parties will refer the matter to binding arbitration pursuant to Section 11.
5.2 |
Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no certificate for fractional shares of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares will be issued to C.M.M.G.. In lieu of any such fractional shares, if C.M.M.G. would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares following a Conversion or exercise, as applicable, C.M.M.G. will be entitled to receive from Enterra a stock certificate representing the nearest whole number of shares of Enterra. |
5.3 |
Issuance of Units. Enterra will issue the applicable number of Units to C.M.M.G., consisting of Conversion Shares and Warrants, such Warrants to be in the form set out in Schedule C attached hereto, within twenty-five (25) days of receipt of the Conversion Notice from C.M.M.G. |
5.4 |
Effect of Conversion on Outstanding Amount. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the Outstanding Amount in an amount equal to the applicable Conversion. C.M.M.G. and Enterra shall maintain records showing the Outstanding Amount converted and the date of such Conversions. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of Enterra shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. |
5.5 |
Adjustment of Conversion Terms. The Conversion Shares to be issued upon Conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while the right of Conversion specified by the provisions of this Agreement remains outstanding, as follows: |
|
(a) |
If Enterra at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets, the provisions of this Agreement shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase such number and type of securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the Conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. |
|
(b) |
If Enterra at any time shall, by subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities, or otherwise, change any of the securities then purchasable upon the exercise of the Conversion or purchase right specified by the provisions of this Agreement into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, the provisions of this Agreement shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase such number and type of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to such Conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change. If shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of |
|
- 6 - |
Common Stock, the Conversion shall be proportionately decreased in case of subdivision of shares or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in both situations by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such event.

|
- 11 - |
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then Enterra shall deliver a certificate in writing to C.M.M.G.

In the event of any Suspension, Enterra will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the use of the prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as possible after delivery of a Suspension Notice to C.M.M.G.. C.M.M.G. agrees that the Suspension and Suspension Notice described in this Section 7.2(b) shall be held by them in strictest confidence and not be disclosed by C.M.M.G. unless authorized by Enterra in writing, except to the extent publicly known or as required by applicable law. In addition to any suspension rights under this Section 7.2(b), and subject to paragraph (d) below, Enterra may, upon the happening of any event, that, in the reasonable good faith judgment of Enterra’s Chief Executive Officer and board of directors, renders it advisable to suspend use of the prospectus for periods of time more than sixty (60) days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period of time due to pending corporate developments, public filings with the SEC or similar events, and upon delivery of a Suspension Notice, effect a Suspension until copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus are distributed to C.M.M.G. or until C.M.M.G. is advised in writing by Enterra that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed.

|
(ii) |

EXERCISE OF WARRANTS |
4.1 |
Method of Exercise of Warrants |
The right to purchase shares conferred by the Warrants may be exercised by the Holder surrendering the Warrant Certificate representing same, with a duly completed and executed subscription in the form attached hereto and a bank draft or certified cheque payable to or to the order Company, at par, in Vancouver, Canada, for the purchase price applicable at the time of surrender in respect of the shares subscribed for in lawful money of the United States of America, to the Company at the address set forth in, or from time to time specified by the Company pursuant to, Section 3.2.
4.2 |
Effect of Exercise of Warrants |
|
(a) |
Upon surrender and payment as aforesaid the shares so subscribed for will be deemed to have been issued and such person or persons will be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record of such shares on the date of such surrender and payment, and such shares will be issued at the subscription price in effect on the date of such surrender and payment. |
|
(b) |
Within ten business days after surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Company will forthwith cause to be delivered to the person or persons in whose name or names the shares so subscribed for are to be issued as specified in such subscription or mailed to him or them at his or their respective addresses specified in such subscription, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of shares not exceeding those which the Warrant Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant surrendered. |

Subscription for Less Than Entitlement |

|
- 4 - |

(i) |
If and whenever the shares at any time outstanding are subdivided into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of shares the Exercise Price will be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may be; upon any such subdivision or consolidation the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be. |
|
(ii) |
In case of any capital reorganization or of any reclassification of the capital of the Company or in the case of the consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other Company (hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Reorganization”), each Warrant will after such Reorganization confer the right to purchase the number of shares or other securities of the Company (or of the Company’s resulting from such Reorganization) which the Warrant Holder would have been entitled to upon Reorganization if the Warrant Holder had been a shareholder at the time of such Reorganization. |
In any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions of this Article Four relating to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holders of the Warrants so that the provisions of this Article Four will be made applicable as nearly as reasonably possible to any shares or other securities deliverable after the Reorganization on the exercise of the Warrants.
The subdivision or consolidation of shares at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares (whether with or without par value) will not be deemed to be a Reorganization for the purposes of this clause 4.8(a)(ii).

|
(b) |
The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.8 are cumulative and will become effective immediately after the record date or, if no record date is fixed, the effective date of the event which results in such adjustments. |
4.9 |
Determination of Adjustments |
If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the Exercise Price or any adjustment provided for in Section 4.8, such questions will be conclusively determined by the Company’s Auditors, or, if they decline to so act any other firm of certified public accountants in the United States of America that the Company may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records and such determination will be binding upon the Company and the Holders of the Warrants.

COVENANTS BY THE COMPANY |
