INTEREST
Section 2.1 Interest on Principal Sum.
The Corporation shall pay to the Holder, by depositing to the Payment
Account, Interest on the Principal Sum at a rate equal to the Interest Rate.
Such Interest is payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for the
Interest Period immediately concluded, which includes such Interest Payment
Date, and shall be calculated on a daily basis and on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days.
Section 2.2 Payment of Interest.
As Interest on this Debenture becomes due, the Corporation shall, on
each Interest Payment Date, cause to be deposited to the Payment Account an
amount equal to such Interest in immediately available funds.
Section 2.3 Payment of Overdue Interest.
The Corporation shall, on demand, pay to the Holder by depositing to
the Payment Account, interest on all overdue payments in connection with this
Debenture from the date any such payment becomes overdue and for so long as such
amount remains unpaid at a rate per annum which is equal to the Interest Rate.
Interest at the Interest Rate on overdue amounts shall be computed daily,
compounded monthly and shall be payable both before and after default, maturity,
and judgement.
Section 2.4 Compliance with the Interest Act (Canada).
For the purposes of this Debenture, whenever any interest is calculated
on the basis of a period of time other than a calendar year, the annual rate of
interest to which each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation
is equivalent for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) is such rate as so
determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which
the same is to be paid and divided by the number of days used in the basis of
such determination.
Section 2.5 Withholding Tax.
If the Corporation is obliged to withhold any payment hereunder on
account of present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental
charges, it shall make such withholding or deduction and pay the balance owing
to the Holder.
Section 2.6 Interest Generally.
The theory of deemed reinvestment shall not apply to the calculation of
Interest or payment of fees or other amounts hereunder, notwithstanding anything
contained in this Debenture, and all Interest and fees payable by the
Corporation to the Holder shall accrue from day to day and be computed as
described herein.
Section 2.7 Time, Place and Currency of Payment.
Payments of principal, (including the Principal Sum) Interest, fees and
all other amounts payable by the Corporation pursuant to this Debenture shall be
paid at or before 3:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the day such amount is due. If any
such day is not a Business Day such amount shall be deemed for all purposes of
this Debenture to be due on the next immediately following day that is a
Business Day. All payments shall be made to the Payment Account.
Section 2.8 Judgement Currency.
If, for the purpose of calculating the amount of any judgement in any
court, it is necessary to convert the currency of any obligation giving rise to
the judgement (the "First Currency") into another currency (the "Other
Currency"), the rate of exchange used shall be that at which the party obtaining
such judgement could purchase the First Currency with the Other Currency from
the Holder determined at the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the day on which judgement is rendered. The obligation of the party
making payment on account of any judgement shall, notwithstanding any judgement
in such Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business
Day following the receipt of any sum paid on account of the judgement in the
Other Currency, the recipient could purchase the First Currency from the Holder
at 12:00 o'clock noon (Toronto time) on such date. If the value in the Other
Currency of the First Currency so purchased or capable of being purchased is
less than the sum due to the payee in the First Currency before conversion into
the Other Currency, the payor, as a separate and distinct obligation and
notwithstanding such judgement or payment, shall indemnify the payee against any
loss and, if the value in the Other Currency of the First Currency so purchased
or capable of being purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the payee in the
First Currency before the conversion into the Other Currency, the payee shall
remit such excess to the payor.

the exercise of the Conversion Right, or the Forced Conversion Right,
or upon redemption, to issue fractions of Common Shares or to
distribute certificates which evidence fractional Common Shares. In
lieu of fractional Common Shares, the Corporation shall pay to the
Holder within five (5) Business Days after the Conversion Date, or
Forced Conversion Date, or upon redemption, an amount in lawful money
of Canada equal to the Conversion Price of the Common Shares on such
date multiplied by an amount equal to the fractional interest of Common
Shares such Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such
exercise or upon conversion, provided that the Corporation shall not be
required to make any payment, calculated as aforesaid, that is less
than $1.00.
Section 4.4 Cancellation and Distribution of Debenture.

has not been converted, and is otherwise outstanding at such time, and for which
the conversion notice described in Section 4.1 was not duly and properly given
before such time, except to the extent that the Holder has not received
certificates representing the Common Shares issued, or has not received payment
for any fractional Common Shares pursuant to Section 4.3(2), upon due exercise
of the Conversion Right prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Maturity Date,
in which instances the Holder's rights hereunder shall continue until it has
received that to which it is entitled hereunder.
Section 4.6 Securities Restrictions.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained, Common Shares will only be
issued pursuant to the Conversion Right in compliance with Applicable Securities
Laws.
Section 4.7 Holder Not a Shareholder.
Nothing in this Debenture shall, in itself, confer or be construed as
conferring upon the Holder any right or interest whatsoever as a Shareholder or
as any other shareholder of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the
right to vote at, to receive notice of, or to attend, meetings of Shareholders
or any other proceedings of the Corporation, or the right to receive dividends
and other distributions.

issued to Holders of Debentures in the aggregate (i) upon the exercise
of the Conversion Right set forth in this Article 4, (ii) as a result
of the exercise by the Corporation of its Forced Conversion Right set
forth in Article 5, and (iii) as a result of the redemption or purchase
for cancellation of any or all Debentures.
(2) Subject to Sections 4.9(3) and 4.9(4), the Corporation shall be limited
to issuing, in the aggregate under the Debentures, only 3,000,000
Common Shares upon the exercise of the Conversion Right, the Forced
Conversion Right, or upon the redemption of any or all Debentures,
which limitation the Holder hereby acknowledges.
(3) In the event that the due exercise of the Conversion Right would result
in the Corporation having issued more than 3,000,000 Common Shares in
the aggregate to Holders of the Debentures, the Corporation shall take
all action necessary (including the calling and holding of a meeting of
Shareholders), to permit it to duly and lawfully issue more than
3,000,000 Common Shares. The costs of complying with this section shall
be borne entirely by the Corporation.
(4) In the event that the proposed exercise of the Forced Conversion Right
by the Corporation, or the proposed redemption of any or all Debentures
would result in the Corporation having issued more than 3,000,000
Common Shares in the aggregate hereunder, such proposed action shall
only be permitted to the extent no more than 3,000,000 Common Shares
are issued less the number of Common Shares into which the Debentures
which remain outstanding after such Forced Conversion Right or
redemption are convertible in accordance with the Conversion Right.
(5) In the event the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Article 7,
the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable by the Corporation
hereunder, being 3,000,000 on the date hereof, shall also be rateably

Section 5.1 Forced Conversion Right
(1) Subject to the terms and conditions otherwise set forth herein, the
Corporation shall have the right (the "Forced Conversion Right"), at
its option, at any time, and from time to time, prior to the Maturity
Date, to give notice to all Holders of Debentures of the forced
conversion of all then outstanding Principal Sums, into fully paid
and non-assessable Common Shares at the Conversion Price in effect on
the Forced Conversion Date.
(2) The Forced Conversion Right may only be exercised by the Corporation
if, during any consecutive twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on

for each such Trading Day, shall have been no less than the Forced
Conversion Price.

Debentures;
(b) the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days during which the closing
price of Common Shares on each such day was no less than the

(1) The Holder may, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the
day immediately prior to the Forced Conversion Date, whether notice of
the exercise of the Forced Conversion Right having been received or
deemed to have been received, or not, exercise the Conversion Right set
forth in Article 4, in full in which case the conversion of all the
then outstanding Principal Sum under such Debenture shall be governed
by Article 4, and this Article 5 shall have no effect on such
conversion.
(2) Upon the exercise of the Forced Conversion Right on the Forced
Conversion Date, if a Holder shall have not exercised its Conversion
Right, the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders
of record of such Common Shares on the Forced Conversion Date, as set
out in the notice required by Section 5.1(3) unless the transfer
registers of the Corporation shall be closed on such date (including by
application of any Applicable Law), in which case the Common Shares
acquired shall be deemed to have been issued and such Person or Persons
deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Common
Shares, on the date on which such transfer registers are reopened. At
such time, the Holder shall cease to have any rights or to receive any
benefits whatsoever under the Debenture, except (i) the right to
receive a certificate representing the Common Shares converted under
this Article, and (ii) the right to receive accrued and unpaid Interest
on the Principal Sum so converted to the Forced Conversion Date.

Corporation shall cause to be delivered to the Holder, or its
designated agent, a share certificate or certificates for the
appropriate number of Common Shares acquired.
(4) Within five (5) Business Days after the Forced Conversion Date, the
Holder shall cause to be delivered to the Corporation for cancellation,
at the address specified in the notice, this Debenture.

pursuant to the Forced Conversion Right in compliance with Applicable Securities
Laws and the limitation set forth in Section 4.9.

Section 6.1 Limited Right of Redemption.
The Debenture is not redeemable by the Corporation at any time prior to
the Business Day that is three (3) years following the Debenture Issue Date and
thereafter only if notice of redemption has been given in accordance with and
subject to the provisions of this Article 6, and the conditions to redemption
set out herein have occurred and are existing, as the case may be.
Section 6.2 Notice of Redemption by the Corporation.
Notice of intention of the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of
this Debenture pursuant to Section 6.1 must be given by the Corporation to the
Holder at least twenty-five (25) Trading Days prior to the date of redemption
specified in such notice. The Debenture and then outstanding Principal Sum may
be redeemed by the Corporation in whole, or in multiples of $1,000. The notice
of redemption required by this section shall specify the (a) Redemption Date,
(b) the Redemption Amount, indicating the Principal Sum thereof and Interest,
separately, in respect of which the right of redemption is being exercised, and
(c) subject to Section 6.6, whether the redemption is to occur in cash, Common
Shares, or a combination of the cash and Common Shares, provided that Interest
is only payable in cash. After giving a Notice of Redemption, the Holder may
continue to exercise the Conversion Right with respect to all or part of the
Principal Sum to be redeemed prior to the Redemption Date fixed for redemption
in which case the Corporation's right of redemption shall be extinguished to the
extent of the Principal Sum so converted by the Holder prior to the Redemption
Date.
Section 6.3 Debenture Due on Redemption Date.
Upon a notice having been given and subject to the Holder exercising
its Conversion Right prior to the Redemption Date as provided in Section 6.2,
the portion of this Debenture so called for redemption shall thereupon be and
become due and payable at the Redemption Amount, on the Redemption Date, in the
same manner and with the same effect as if it were the Maturity Date specified
in this Debenture, and from and after such Redemption Date, if the cash, or cash
and Common Shares, as the case may be, necessary to redeem this Debenture shall
have been paid to the Holder as herein provided, this Debenture shall not be
considered as outstanding hereunder to the extent of the Principal Sum redeemed,
and Interest on the Principal Sum so redeemed, shall cease to accrue after such
date.
Section 6.4 Payment of Redemption Amount.
Upon this Debenture having been called for redemption as hereinbefore
provided, the Corporation shall, on the Redemption Date fixed in the notice of
the redemption thereof, pay the Redemption Amount to the Holder by deposit to
the Payment Account of cash, as set out in the notice of redemption, and where
Common Shares are to be issued to pay the Redemption Amount, the Corporation
shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Redemption Date, cause to be
delivered to the Holder, a share certificate or certificates for the appropriate
number of Common Shares acquired.
Section 6.5 Partial Redemption of Debenture.
If this Debenture is called for redemption in part only, for the
purposes of this Article 6, unless the context otherwise requires:
(a) references to this Debenture shall be deemed to include any such
part of the Principal Sum of this Debenture which has been called
for redemption; and
(b) upon surrender of the Debenture for payment as required by
Section 6.7, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, without
expense to the Holder, a new Debenture for the unredeemed part of
the Debenture so surrendered, and the Corporation shall execute
and deliver such new Debenture of the Holder.
Section 6.6 Redemption in Common Shares.
(1) The Corporation may pay any or all of that portion of the Redemption
Amount representing the Principal Sum to be redeemed by issuing to the
Holder a number of Common Shares that is equal to the quotient
resulting from dividing that portion of the Redemption Amount
representing the Principal Sum which is to be redeemed in Common Shares
by the Common Share Redemption Price.
(2) The Common Share Redemption Price shall be equal to 95% of the Twenty
Day Weighted Average Trading Price determined as of the Trading Day
immediately prior to the date of redemption.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may only satisfy all or
part of the Redemption Amount by issuing Common Shares if on the
Trading Day immediately prior to the date of redemption, the closing
price of the Common Shares on the TSE or such other exchange or market
selected by the Directors shall have been no less than 120% of the
Conversion Price then in effect on such date.
Section 6.7 Surrender of Debenture for Cancellation.
If all or any portion of the Principal Sum due hereunder shall be paid
under this Article 6 before the Expiry Date, the Holder shall surrender this
Debenture for cancellation, and no Debenture shall be issued in substitution
therefor for the portion of Principal Sum so redeemed.
Section 6.8 Failure to Surrender Debenture Called for Redemption.
If this Debenture is called for redemption in whole or in part and the
amount required to be paid pursuant hereto is paid or deposited as contemplated
herein, and whether or not the Holder shall have surrendered the Debenture for
endorsement as to the amount of repayment or for cancellation, as the case may
be, prior to the date fixed for redemption, such payment shall for all purposes
be and be deemed to be a payment to the Holder of the Redemption Amount and, to
the extent of the Redemption Amount, this Debenture shall thereafter not be
considered as outstanding hereunder and the Holder shall have no right in
respect thereof.
Section 6.9 Cancellation and Destruction of Debenture.
Any portion of this Debenture redeemed under this Article 6 shall
forthwith be cancelled by the Corporation and no Debenture shall be issued in
substitution for the portion so cancelled.

This Debenture shall be repayable in full as to the Principal Sum,
together with all accrued and unpaid Interest then outstanding hereunder, as
well as any and all other sums then payable by the Corporation to the Holder
hereunder, on the Maturity Date, provided that the Corporation may repay any or
all of the sums due on the Maturity Date in Common Shares, if it shall have
given to the Holder no less than thirty (30) Trading Days notice of its
intention to do so, failing which repayment on the Maturity Date shall be in
cash only. The number of Common Shares to be issued by the Corporation on the
Maturity Date, in satisfaction of its obligations under this Section 6.10 shall
be equal to the quotient resulting from dividing the Principal Sum to be
satisfied by the issuance of Common Shares by 95% of the Twenty Day Weighted
Average Trading Price for the period ending on the fifth Trading Day immediately
prior to the Maturity Date.
ARTICLE 7
ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE
Section 7.1 Adjustment of Conversion Price
The Conversion Price in effect at any date shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the
Corporation shall:
(i) subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding Common Shares
into a greater number of such shares; or
(ii) reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares
into a smaller number of such shares;
the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of such
subdivision, redivision, change, reduction, combination or
consolidation, as the case may be, shall in the case of the
events referred to in (i) above, be decreased in proportion to
the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such
subdivision, redivision or change, or shall, in the case of the
events referred to in (ii) above, be increased in proportion to
the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such
reduction, combination or consolidation in each case by
multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such effective date
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of
Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such date and the
denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares
outstanding immediately after such date. Such adjustment shall be
made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section
7.1(a) shall occur;
(b) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the
Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights,
options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of
its outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period
expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to
subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities
convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) at a price per
share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less
than the Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price on such record
date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after
such record date so that it shall equal the amount determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by
a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of
Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the
Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price on such record date,
less the fair market value (as determined by the Directors,
subject to Section 7.4) of such rights, options or warrants, and
of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common
Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Twenty
Day Weighted Average Trading Price provided that
(i) any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the
corporation or any subsidiary shall be deemed not to be
outstanding for the purpose of any such computation;
(ii) such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a
record date is fixed;
(iii)to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are
not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the
Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price
which would then be in effect if such record date had not
been fixed or to the Conversion Price which would then be in
effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities
convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) actually
issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or
warrants, as the case may be;
(c) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period the
Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a
distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its
outstanding Common Shares of (i) shares of any class, whether of
the Corporation or any other corporation (including stock
dividends), (ii) rights, options or warrants (excluding those
referred to in Section 7.1(b)); (iii) evidences of its
indebtedness or (iv) assets (including cash) of the Corporation,
then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted
immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the
price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on
such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be
the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date
multiplied by the Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price on
such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by
the Directors, subject to Section 7.4 of such shares, rights,
options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets so
distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total
number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date
multiplied by such Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price
provided that:
(i) Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the
Corporation or any subsidiary shall be deemed not to be
outstanding for the purpose of any such computation;
(ii) such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a
record date is fixed;
(iii)to the extent that such distribution is not so made, the
Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price
which would then be in effect if such record date had not
been fixed or to the Conversion Price which would then be in
effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants
or evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed,
as the case may be;
(d) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, there
is a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital
reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in
Section 7.1(a) or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or
merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate,
trust, partnership or other entity, or a sale or conveyance of
the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust,
partnership or other entity, the Holder shall, upon the exercise
of the Conversion Right, be entitled to receive and shall accept,
in lieu of the number of shares then sought to be acquired by it,
the number of Common Shares or other securities or property of
the Corporation or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or
other entity resulting from such merger, amalgamation,
arrangement or consolidation, or to which such sale or conveyance
may be made, as the case may be, that the Holder would have been
entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital
reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or
merger, sale or conveyance, if, on the record date or the
effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Holder had been
the registered holder of the number of Common Shares sought to be
acquired by it and to which it was entitled to acquire upon the
exercise of the Conversion Right and a contemporaneous and equal
adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price;
(e) in any case in which Section 7.1(b) or 7.1(c) require that an
adjustment be made to the Conversion Price, no such adjustment
shall be made if, subject to the prior approval of applicable
stock exchanges the Holder receives the rights, options or
warrants referred to in Section 7.1(b) or the share rights,
options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets referred
to in Section 7.1(c), as the case may be, in such kind and number
as it would have received if it had been a holder of Common
Shares on the applicable record date or effective date, as the
case may be, by virtue of the Principal Sum having then been
converted into Common Shares at the Conversion Price in effect on
the applicable record or effective date, as the case may be;
(f) the adjustments provided for in this Section 7.1 are cumulative,
and shall, in the case of adjustments to the Conversion Price be
computed to the nearest whole cent and shall apply to successive
subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations,
consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting
in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section 7.1.
(g) if, in the opinion of the Directors, the provisions of this
Section 7.1 are not strictly applicable, or if strictly
applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the Holder in
accordance with the intent and purposes hereof, the Directors
shall make any adjustment in such provisions for the benefit of
the Holder as the Directors deem appropriate.
Section 7.2 Entitlement to Securities on Exercise of Conversion Right
or Forced Conversion Right.
All shares of any class or other securities which the Holder is at the
time in question entitled or obligated to receive on the exercise of the
Conversion Right or Forced Conversion Right, whether or not as a result of
adjustments made pursuant to this Article 7, shall, for the purposes of the
interpretation of this Debenture, be deemed to be shares which the Holder is
entitled or obligated to acquire pursuant to the exercise of the Conversion
Right or Forced Conversion Right.
Section 7.3 No Adjustment for Stock Options.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 7, no adjustment shall be made
in the Conversion Price if the issue of Common Shares is being made pursuant to
this Debenture or pursuant to any stock option plan in force from time to time
for directors, officers or employees of the Corporation.
Section 7.4 Determination by Corporation's Auditors.
In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments
provided for in this Article 7, such question shall be conclusively determined
by the Corporation's Auditors, or if such auditors are unable or unwilling to
act, such other firm of chartered accountants mutually acceptable to the
Corporation and the Holder, who shall have access to all necessary records of
the Corporation, and such determination shall be binding upon the Corporation,
the Holder and all other Persons interested therein.
Section 7.5 Proceedings Prior to any Action Requiring Adjustment.
As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would
require an adjustment in any of the conversion rights pursuant hereto, including
the number of Common Shares which are to be received upon the exercise thereof,
the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of
Counsel to the Corporation, be necessary in order that the Corporation has
unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally
issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares or other securities which
the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise of the Conversion Right
in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Section 7.6 Certificate of Adjustment.
The Corporation shall from time to time immediately after the
occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided
in Article 7, deliver a certificate of the Corporation 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.
Section 7.7 Notice of Special Matters.
The Corporation covenants that it will give notice to the Holder of its
intention to fix a record date that is prior to the Expiry Date for the issuance
of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its
outstanding Common Shares or for the payment of any cash dividend, stock
dividend or other distribution on its Common Shares. Such notice shall specify
the particulars of such event, the record date for such event and, if prepared
or available as at the date that such notice is required to be given pursuant to
this Section 7.7, such notice shall be accompanied by the material (i.e., proxy
circulars, information booklets etc.) sent to the holders of Common Shares in
respect of the event in question, provided that the Corporation shall only be
required to specify in the notice such particulars of the event as shall have
been fixed and determined on the date on which the notice is given. The notice
shall be given in each case not less than ten (10) days prior to such applicable
record date.

Section 9.2 Acceleration.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder may by notice in
writing to the Corporation declare the Principal Sum and all accrued Interest
thereon, and all other amounts owing hereunder, to be immediately due and
payable and the same shall become immediately due and payable to the Holder and
the Corporation shall forthwith pay the same to the Holder, failing which all
rights and remedies of the Holder hereunder or at law or equity in respect of
such non-payment shall become enforceable.
Section 9.3 Remedies Not Exclusive.
No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy or
remedies, and each and every right, power and remedy shall, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other right, power or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute. The Holder shall have the power to waive any
Default or Event of Default, provided such waiver is obtained in accordance with
Article 14, and shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Default
or Event of Default. No delay or omission of the Holder or Holders in the
exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of
Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be
a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right, power and remedy given to the Holder by this Debenture or under
Applicable Law may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient by the Holder. In case the Holder shall have proceeded to enforce any
right under this Debenture and the proceedings for the enforcement thereof shall
have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Holder, then and in every such case, the Corporation and the
Holder shall, without any further action hereunder, to the full extent permitted
by Applicable law, subject to any determination in such proceedings, severally
and respectively, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and
thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Holder shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been taken.
Section 9.4 Power of Attorney.
The Corporation hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Holder
its true and lawful attorney and agent, with full power and authority in the
Corporation's name, place and stead from time to time to do all acts and things
and execute and deliver all share transfers, certificates, proxies, resolutions,
consents, assignments, transfers, conveyances and agreements, in such form as
the Holder, acting reasonably, considers necessary or desirable to do all things
which the Corporation is required to sign, execute and do hereunder if the
Corporation has failed to sign, execute or do the same and generally to use the
name of the Corporation, as applicable, in the exercise of all or any of the
powers hereby conferred on the Holder, with full powers of substitution and
revocation, provided that this power of attorney may not be exercised the Holder
until an Event of Default shall have occurred. Such appointment and power of
attorney is hereby declared by the Corporation to be an irrevocable power
coupled with an interest.
Section 9.5 Application of Monies.
Subject to Applicable Law, all monies collected or received by the
Holder pursuant to or in exercise of any right or remedy shall be applied on
account of the amounts outstanding hereunder in such manner as the Holder deems
best or, at the option of the Holder, or released to the Corporation, all
without prejudice to the liability of the Corporation or the rights of the
Holder hereunder, and any surplus shall be accounted for as required by law.

Section 10.1 Expenses.
Unless stated to the contrary, all statements, reports, certificates,

Holder by the Corporation under this Debenture shall be supplied by the
Corporation without cost to the Holder. If the Corporation fails to pay any
amounts required to be paid by it under this Debenture or if the Corporation
fails to observe or perform any of the covenants and obligations set forth in
this Debenture to be observed or performed by it, the Holder may, but shall be
under no obligation to, pay such amounts or do such acts or things as may be
required to ensure such observance and performance, without waiving any of its
rights under this Debenture. No such payment, act or thing done by the Holder
shall relieve the Corporation from any Default under this Debenture or the
consequences of such Default. The Corporation shall reimburse the Holder for any
such payments made or reasonable expenditures incurred by the Holder in
connection with ensuring the observance and performance of any of the covenants
or obligations under this Debenture, other than expenses for management time and

Corporation therefrom (except as described in Article 13), shall in any event be

conditions set forth in Article 14, and then such amendment, waiver or consent

destruction or theft shall, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof,
furnish to the Corporation such evidence of ownership and of the loss,
destruction or theft of this Debenture as shall be satisfactory to the

of the Holders of the Debentures. The Corporation shall, from time to time,
convene such a meeting upon receiving a Meeting Request. If within twenty-one
(21) Business Days of receiving a Meeting Request, the Corporation shall have
not called a meeting of Holders of Debentures, then those Holders of Debentures
signing the Meeting Request may organize and convene such a meeting on the terms
and conditions of this Article 14 as though such Holders were the Corporation,
and the Corporation shall pay all reasonable costs associated with the convening
and organizing of a meeting by such Holders of Debentures. Every such meeting
shall be held in the City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada or at such other place in
the Province of Ontario as the Holders may determine.
Section 14.2 Notice of Meetings.
At least twenty-one (21) days notice of any meeting shall be given to
the Holders of Debentures by the Corporation. Such notice shall state the time
when, and the place where, the meeting is to be held and shall state briefly the
general nature of the business to be transacted thereat, but it shall not be
necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to be
proposed or any of the provisions of this Article. The accidental omission to
give notice of a meeting to any Holder of Debentures shall not invalidate any
resolution passed at any such meeting.
Section 14.3 Chairman.
The Holders present in person or by proxy at the meeting shall choose
from among their number the chairman of the meeting.
Section 14.4 Quorum.
At any meeting of the Holders of Debentures a quorum shall consist of
one Holder present in person or by proxy and representing at least 50% in
Principal Sum of the then outstanding Debentures. If a quorum of the Holders
shall not be present within 30 minutes from the time fixed for holding any
meeting, the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the next week (unless
such day is not a Business Day in which case it shall be adjourned to the first
Business Day thereafter) at the same time and place and no notice shall be
required to be given with respect to such adjourned meeting. At the adjourned
meeting the Holders present in person or by proxy shall form a quorum and may
transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened
notwithstanding, that they may not represent 50% of the Principal Sum of the
outstanding Debentures. Any business may be brought before or dealt with at an
adjourned meeting, which might have been brought before or dealt with at the
original meeting in accordance with the notice calling the same. No business
shall be transacted at any meeting unless the required quorum be present at the
commencement of business.
Section 14.5 Power to Adjourn.
The chairman of any meeting at which a quorum is present may, with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in Principal Sum of the Debentures
represented thereat, adjourn any such meeting and no notice of such adjournment
need be given except such notice, if any, as the meeting may prescribe.
Section 14.6 Show of Hands.
Every question submitted to a meeting shall, subject to Section 14.7,
be decided in the first place by a majority of the votes given on a show of
hands. At any such meeting, unless a poll is duly demanded as herein provided, a
declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried
unanimously or by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular
majority shall be conclusive evidence of that fact. The chairman of any meeting
shall be entitled, both on a show of hands and on a poll, to vote with respect
to the Debentures, if any, held by him.
Section 14.7 Poll.
On every Extraordinary Resolution, and on any other question submitted
to a meeting, when demanded by the chairman or by one or more Holders or proxies
for Holders, a poll shall be taken in such manner and either at once or after an
adjournment as the chairman shall direct. Questions other than Extraordinary
Resolutions shall, if a poll be taken, be decided by the votes of the Holders of
a majority in Principal Sum of the Debentures represented at the meeting and
voted on the poll.
Section 14.8 Voting.
On a show of hands every person who is present and entitled to vote,
whether as a Holder or as proxy for one or more Holders or both, shall have one
vote. On a poll each Holder present in person or represented by a proxy duly
appointed by an instrument in writing shall be entitled to one vote with respect
to each $1,000 Principal Sum of Debentures of which he shall then be the Holder.
A proxy need not be a Holder. In the case of joint registered Holders, any one
of them present in person or by proxy at the meeting may vote in the absence of
the other or others, but in case more than one of them be present in person or
by proxy, they shall vote together with respect to the Debentures of which they
are joint registered Holders.

of the Holders of Debentures, but shall have no vote as such.

of the Debenture or by law, a meeting of the Holders shall have the following
powers exercisable from time to time by Extraordinary Resolution:

omission or amendment;

this Debenture stated to be exercisable by the Holders by Extraordinary
