Such interest will be calculated monthly, not in advance, on the basis of a year of 365 days and payable within ten (10) days of the end of each month, commencing with the first full month that ends subsequent to the Issue Date.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the Principal Amount of this Debenture or accrued interest thereon as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Debenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power of the Holder as though no such law has been enacted.
|
3.3
|
The Company covenants that it will obtain the written approval of the Holder prior to incurring any debt which ranks in priority with respect to repayment to this Debenture.
|
4.
|
Prepayment
|
4.1
|
The Company shall have the right to prepay all or any part of sums due under this Debenture at any time and from time to time, upon the Company giving to the Holder at least 30 calendar days prior written notice of the Company’s intent to make a prepayment (a “Prepayment Notice”), as follows:
|
|
(a)
|
on or before ____________________, the Company shall pay105% of the Principal Amount or any portion thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest on such amount to be repaid; and
|
|
(b)
|
from ____________________ to ____________________, the Company shall pay 102.5% of the Principal Amount or any portion thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest on such amount to be repaid.
|
4.2
|
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
|
17
|
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.
|
4.3
|
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.
|
5.
|
Conversion
|
5.1
|
At any time after the Issue Date until the Maturity Date, and provided that this Debenture is then outstanding, the Principal Amount then outstanding and any accrued interest thereon may be converted into Conversion Shares at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time. The Holder shall convert a minimum $100,000 of the Principal Amount for any conversion, unless there is less than $100,000 of the Principal Amount outstanding.
|
5.2
|
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 the amount of the Principal Amount to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”), which shall not be less than ten (10) 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 ten (10) 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 has been converted.
|
5.3
|
Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal Amount in an amount equal to the applicable amount of the Principal Amount being converted. 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 (5) business days of receipt of such notice. The Holder, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledges and agrees that following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
|
5.4
|
The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the amount of the Principal Amount to be converted plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Principal Amount to be converted and (y) is the Conversion Price.
|
5.5
|
Not later than ten (10) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which shall bear such restrictive legends and trading restrictions as are required by applicable laws, representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired.
|
5.6
|
If the Company shall at any time or from time to time while any Principal Amount is still outstanding, effect a subdivision or reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before a subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and, conversely, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before a reverse stock split shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this subsection 5.6 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or reverse stock split becomes effective.
|
18
5.7
|
If the Company at any time or from time to time while any Principal Amount is still outstanding, issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable solely in additional shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price that is then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection 5.7 to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.
|
5.8
|
If the Company at any time or from time to time while any Principal Amount is still outstanding, issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock or in other property, in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon conversion hereof, in addition to the number of Conversion Shares receivable hereupon, the amount of securities of the Company or other property which the Holder would have received had this Debenture been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had it thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities or other property receivable by it as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this subsection 5.8 with respect to the rights of the Holder or with respect to such other securities or other property by their terms. As used herein, the term “other property” does not include cash.
|
5.9
|
If at any time or from time to time while any Principal Amount is still outstanding, the Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture are changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or series of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or reverse stock split or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 5), then in any such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Debenture into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
|
5.10
|
The Company covenants that 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 Debenture, free from pre-emptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder, not less than such number of Conversion Shares 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 Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon. The Company covenants that all Conversion Shares that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
|
5.11
|
Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of Conversion Shares, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a Conversion Share, cash equal to the value of such fraction of a Conversion Share.
|
5.12
|
If at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or more transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or
|
19
|
exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than a subdivision or reverse stock split or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 5) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Change”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Change, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Change if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Change, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Change, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Change. In the event of a Fundamental Change, the Company or the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that:
|
|
(a)
|
this Debenture shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate Consideration;
|
|
(b)
|
in the case of any such successor or purchasing entity, upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor or purchasing entity shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Debenture and the Subscription Agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of this Debenture; and
|
|
(c)
|
if registration or qualification is required under the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock and other securities so issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, such registration or qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination or sale.
|
5.13
|
If, in the case of any Fundamental Change, the Alternate Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of an entity other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Change, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other entity and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the board of directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Change shall issue to the Holder a new Debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such Debenture into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Change is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this section and insuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Change.
|
5.14
|
In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price for the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause its Secretary or Treasurer to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at the Holder’s address as shown in the Company’s books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required to be made unless it would result in an increase or decrease of at least one cent, but any adjustments not made because of this sentence shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment otherwise required hereunder
|
