3.1	The Company shall have the right to prepay all or any part of sums due under this Debenture at any time, without penalty or prepayment premium.

3.2	The prepayment rights provided for herein shall be exercised by giving to the Holder at least 14 calendar days prior written notice of the Company’s intent to make a prepayment (a “Prepayment Notice”).

3.3	For a period of 10 calendar days after the Company provides the Holder with a Prepayment Notice, the Holder shall have a pre-emptive right to convert the principal amount of the Debenture to be prepaid into Units at the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date of the Prepayment Notice.

3.4	The prepayment (less any tax required to be withheld by the Company) shall be paid by cheque or by such other reasonable means as the Company deems desirable. The mailing of such cheque from the Company's registered office, or the payment by such other reasonable means as the Company deems desirable, on or before the prepayment date shall be deemed to be payment on the prepayment date unless the cheque is not paid upon presentation or payment by such other means is not received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to require at any time, and from time to time, that the prepayment be paid to the Holder only upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Company or at any other place or places in British Columbia designated by the Prepayment Notice. If only a part of the Debenture is to be prepaid, a new certificate for the balance shall be issued at the expense of the Company.

3.5	At any time after a Prepayment Notice is given, the Company shall have the right to deposit the amount of the prepayment with any chartered bank or banks or with any trust company or trust companies in British Columbia named for such purpose in the Prepayment Notice to the credit of a special account or accounts in trust for Holder, to be paid to it upon surrender to such bank or banks or trust company or trust companies of the certificate or certificates representing the Debenture. Upon such deposit or deposits being made or upon the prepayment date, whichever is later, the Debenture shall be and be deemed to be paid and the rights of the Holder shall be limited to receiving, without interest, the amount so deposited. Any interest allowed on such deposit or deposits shall accrue to the Company.

4.	Conversion.

4.1	At any time after the Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, this Debenture may be converted into Units at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the amount of principal to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”), which shall not be less than 21 days following the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion. If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that is 21 days following the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture has been converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion within five business days of receipt of such notice. The Holder, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

4.2	The number of Units issuable upon a conversion shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the amount of outstanding principal to be converted plus any interest to be converted and (y) is the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined).

4.3	Not later than ten Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares and the Warrants comprising the Units, which shall bear such restrictive legends and trading restrictions as are required by applicable law, representing the number of Conversion Shares and Warrants being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture.

4.4	The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) in effect on any Conversion Date shall be U.S$0.10.

4.5	If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions in shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity

	equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

4.6	The Company covenants that, unless it then has authority to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Debentures, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set forth in the Subscription Agreement) be issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and the exercise of the Warrants. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

4.7	Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole Conversion Share and one whole Warrant.

5.	Notices

5.1	Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder hereunder, including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at 602 - 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx X.X.
