5. CONVERSION
Upon issuance of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to convert all or any portion of the principal sum and accrued interest of this Debenture remaining outstanding and owing to the Holder (the “Convertible Indebtedness”) (as at the date of the election to so convert) into common shares (the “Shares”) in the capital stock of the Company. The price per share shall be one half (1/2) of the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock (as quoted by OTC Markets) on the five (5) trading days immediately following receipt of the notice of conversion and ending on the date of conversion. The Holder may, at its option, elect to convert the Debentures held by the Holder in accordance with the foregoing in lieu of receiving any funds payable under the Debentures.
Such conversion may be effected by the presentation of this Debenture at the offices of the Company, accompanied by a conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”) in the form attached as Appendix 1, signed by the Holder, notifying the Company as to the exercise of the right of conversion, specifying the amount of the Convertible Indebtedness being converted, and setting forth the name(s) and address(es) of the nominee(s) of the Holder in whose name(s) the Shares issuable upon such conversion are to be registered. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date the Company receives the Conversion Notice.
As promptly as practicable after the presentation of this Debenture for conversion, the Company shall cause to be issued to the Holder or the Holder’s nominee(s) a certificate or certificates representing the number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares into which all or any portion of the Convertible Indebtedness has been converted and shall cause the Holder or the Holder’s nominee(s) to be entered in its books as the holder(s) of the number of Shares into which any of the Convertible Indebtedness is converted.
In the event that any amounts remain outstanding hereunder after giving effect to such conversion, the Company shall issue a new Debenture having a face amount equal to the remaining Convertible Indebtedness owing by the Company to the Holder as promptly as practicable after the presentation of this Debenture for conversion.
The conversion of the Convertible Indebtedness shall in respect of the amount so converted be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which this Debenture is surrendered for conversion. The Holder’s rights in respect of the converted portion shall terminate at such time of surrender, and the nominee(s) of the Holder entitled to receive the Shares into which all or any portion of any of the Convertible Indebtedness is converted shall be treated, as between the Company and such person or persons, as having become the holder or holders of record of such Shares on that date, provided that if this Debenture is surrendered for conversion on any day on which the register for the Company’s common shares is closed, the Holder or the Holder’s nominee(s) entitled to receive Shares upon the conversion of this Debenture shall become the shareholder(s) of record of such Shares as of the date on which the common share register is next open.
- 4 -
6. FRACTIONAL SHARES
No fractional Shares shall be issued upon conversion of any Debentures, and in lieu of any fractional Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price then in effect; and in determining the number of Shares and the payment, if any in lieu of fractional shares that the Holder shall receive, the principal sums of all debentures being converted as at a particular date shall be aggregated.
7. SECURITY INTEREST
(a) The Debenture is secured by a security interest granted to the Holder for the benefit of the Holder pursuant to a Security Agreement, as delivered by the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the Company, or if any of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) should become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Holder should be entitled to, among other relief to which the Holder may be entitled under this Agreement and any other agreement to which the Holder and Company are parties (collectively, "Loan Documents") and/or applicable law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Holder to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or applicable law. The Company expressly waives the benefit of the automatic stay imposed by 11 U.S.C. Section 362. Furthermore, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither 11 U.S.C. Section 362 nor any other section of the bankruptcy code or other statute or rule (including, without limitation, 11 U.S.C. Section 105) shall stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit in any way the ability of the Holder to enforce any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and/or applicable law. The Company hereby consents to any motion for relief from stay that may be filed by the Holder in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding initiated by or against the Company and, further, agrees not to file any opposition to any motion for relief from stay filed by the Holder. The Company represents, acknowledges and agrees that this provision is a specific and material aspect of the Loan Documents, and that the Holder would not agree to the terms of the Loan Documents if this waiver were not a part of this Debenture. The Company further represents, acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, that neither the Holder nor any person acting on behalf of the Holder has made any representations to induce this waiver, that the Company has been represented (or has had the opportunity to he represented) in the signing of this Note and the Loan Documents and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by the Company and that the Company has discussed this waiver with counsel.

| (a) |
The Company covenants and agrees that so long as this Debenture is outstanding it will at all times reserve out of its unissued share capital against the conversion rights conferred on the holder of such Debenture a sufficient number of unissued Shares to entitle all of the principal sum and accrued interest outstanding under such Debenture outstanding to be converted upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions provided for in this Debenture. | |
| (b) |
in the event of any subdivision or redivision or change of the Shares at any time while this Debenture is outstanding into a greater number of Shares, the Company shall deliver, at the time of the exercise thereafter of the right of conversion by the registered holder of this Debenture, such additional number of Shares as would have resulted from such subdivision, redivision or change if the right of conversion had been exercised prior to the date of such subdivision, redivision or change. In the event of any consolidation or change of the Shares any time while this Debenture is outstanding into a lesser number of Shares, the number of Shares deliverable by the Company on the exercise thereafter of the right of conversion shall be reduced to such number of Shares as would have resulted from such consolidation or change if the right of conversion had been exercised prior to the date of such consolidation or change; and | |
| (c) |
if the Company shall declare and pay a stock dividend upon its Shares or a dividend upon its Shares payable at the option of the respective holders either in Shares or in cash then in each such case from and after the payment date of such dividend the conversion right herein provided for | |
- 5 -
shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding Shares of the appropriate class resulting from such dividend.
