3.1 If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry the outstanding Shares of the Corporation are subdivided, redivided or changed into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of Shares or reclassified into different shares, if the Holder has not fully exercised its right of conversion prior to the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, change, or consolidation or reclassification (herein individually called a "Change"), the Holder shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon the exercise of such right at any time thereafter in lieu of the number of Shares to which the Holder was entitled upon conversion immediately prior to such Change, the aggregate number of Shares of the Corporation that the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Change if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which it was entitled upon conversion immediately prior to such Change.

 

3.2 If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry there is a capital reorganization of the Corporation or an amalgamation of the Corporation with or into any other Corporation including by way of a sale whereby all or substantially all of the Corporation's undertaking and assets would become the property of any other Corporation, if the Holder has not fully exercised its right of conversion prior to the effective date of such reorganization, consolidation, merger, amalgamation or sale (herein individually called a "Reorganization"), the Holder shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon exercise of such right at any time on or thereafter, in lieu of the number of Shares to which the Holder was entitled upon conversion immediately prior to such Reorganization, the aggregate number of Shares or other securities or property of the Corporation resulting from the Reorganization that the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which it was entitled upon conversion immediately prior to such Reorganization.

Any such adjustment shall be made by and set forth in a supplement to this Option approved by the Directors of the Corporation.

 

3.4 The adjustments provided for in this Option are cumulative and shall apply to successive Changes, Reorganizations or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Option.

 

3.5 After any adjustment pursuant to this Option, the term "Shares" where used herein, other than in Section 1 herein, shall be interpreted to mean the shares of any class or classes or the other securities or property which, as a result of all prior adjustments pursuant to this Option, the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the conversion of the Indebtedness. All shares of any class or other securities or property which the Holder is at the time in question entitled to receive hereunder on the conversion of the Indebtedness, whether or not as a result of adjustments made pursuant to this Option, for the purpose of the interpretation of this Option, shall be deemed to be the Shares which the Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the conversion of the Indebtedness.

 

3.6 In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Option, such question shall be determined by a firm of chartered accountants appointed by the Corporation (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 all parties in interest.

 

3.8 No Requirement to Issue Fractional Shares

 

The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional Shares upon the conversion of the Indebtedness pursuant to this Option. If any fractional interest in a Share would be deliverable upon the conversion of the Indebtedness, the Corporation shall issue such number of Shares as are determined by rounding any fractional interest to the closest integer.

 

3.9 Certificate as to Adjustment

 

The Corporation shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment as provided in this section 3, deliver a copy of a certificate signed by two of its Officers to the Holder 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 and the method of calculation and the amount of the adjustment specified in such certificate shall be reported on by a firm of chartered accountants appointed by the Corporation (who may be the auditors of the Corporation) and, shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties in interest.

 

4. Notice of Special Matters and Holder not a shareholder

 

The Corporation covenants with the Holders, and each of them, that at any time prior to the Time of Expiry that the Indebtedness remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Holder of its intention:

 

(a)To declare any stock dividend on any shares;

 

(b)To distribute to all holders of shares any securities or assets (other than cash dividends),

 

and, in each notice shall specify the record date or, if none, the effective date for such dividend or distribution, provided that the Corporation shall only be required to specify in such notice particulars of such action as shall have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given. Such notice shall be given not less than thirty (30) days in each case prior to such applicable record date or effective date.

The holding of a Debenture will not constitute the holder thereof a shareholder of the Corporation, nor entitle him to any rights or interest in respect thereof except as in the Debenture expressly provided.

 

5. Satisfaction and Discharge

Upon the earlier of the payment by the Corporation of all of the Principal Amount and Interest due on the Debentures or the conversion of the Indebtedness into Shares, the Holder shall deliver the Debenture to the Corporation and the Debenture shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Corporation.

 

5.2 Non-Presentation of Debentures

 

If the Holder of any Debenture shall fail to present the same for payment on the date on which the Principal Amount and Interest becomes payable, either on the Maturity Date or otherwise, or shall not accept payment on account thereof and give such receipt therefor (if any) as the Corporation may require, the Corporation shall be entitled to set aside the Principal Amount and Interest in trust to be paid to the Holder of such Debenture upon due presentation and surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Debenture; and thereupon the Principal Amount and Interest payable on or represented by each Debenture in respect whereof such moneys have been set aside shall be deemed to have been paid and thereafter such Debentures shall not be considered as outstanding and the Holders thereof shall thereafter have no right in respect thereof except that of receiving payment of the moneys so set aside by the Corporation (without interest thereon).

 

5.3 Repayment of Unclaimed Moneys

 

Any moneys set aside under section 5.2 and not claimed by and paid to Holders of Debentures within six years after the date of such setting aside shall, subject to applicable law, be repaid to the Corporation and thereafter the Holders of the Debentures in respect of which such moneys were so paid to the Corporation shall have no rights in respect thereof except to obtain payment of such moneys without interest thereon from the Corporation.

 

5.4 Discharge

 

Upon the payment by the Corporation of all of the Principal Amount and Interest due on the Debentures or upon the conversion of the Indebtedness into Shares, the Holder shall, at the request of the Corporation, execute and deliver to the Corporation such deeds or other instruments as shall be necessary to evidence the satisfaction and discharge of the Debentures and to release the Corporation from its covenants contained herein.
