This Note is one of the 6.00% Senior Secured 2025 Convertible Notes (referred to herein as the “2025 Convertible Notes”) of the Issuer issued under the provisions of the Indenture. The 2025 Convertible Notes authorized for issue immediately are limited to an aggregate principal amount of US$ in lawful money of the United States. Reference is hereby expressly made to the Indenture for a description of the terms and conditions upon which the 2025 Convertible Notes are or are to be issued and held and the rights and remedies of the holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes and of the Issuer and of the Trustee, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture were herein set forth to all of which provisions the holder of this Note by acceptance hereof assents.

The 2025 Convertible Notes are issuable at a price of US$1,000 per US$1,000 of principal amount and only in denominations of US$1,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000. Upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, 2025 Convertible Notes of any denomination may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes in any other authorized denomination or denominations.

Any part, being US$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of the principal of this 2025 Convertible Note, provided that the principal amount of this 2025 Convertible Note is in a denomination in excess of US$1,000, is convertible, at the option of the holder hereof, upon surrender of this 2025 Convertible Note at the principal office of the Trustee in Vancouver, British Columbia, at any time prior to the close of business on the date which falls 10 days prior to the Maturity Date, into Common Shares (without adjustment for interest accrued hereon or for dividends or distributions on Common Shares issuable upon conversion) at a conversion price per Common Share equal to US$6.49 payable on the Business Day prior to the date of conversion (the “Conversion Price”), adjusted downwards for any cash dividends paid to holders of the common shares of the Issuer (the “Common Shares”), all subject to the terms and conditions and in the manner set forth herein.

The Indenture makes provision for the adjustment of the Conversion Price in the events therein specified. No fractional Common Shares will be issued on any conversion and holders will receive a cash payment in satisfaction of any fractional interest.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Issuer, the Issuer is required to make an offer, at the option of each Holder, to purchase all of the 2025 Convertible Notes at a cash price equal to 101% principal amount of such 2025 Convertible Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

The indebtedness evidenced by this 2025 Convertible Note, and by all other 2025 Convertible Notes now or hereafter certified and delivered under the Indenture, is a direct secured obligation of the Issuer.

The principal hereof may become or be declared due and payable before the stated maturity in the events, in the manner, with the effect and at the times provided in the Indenture.

The 2025 Convertible Notes and Common Shares issuable upon conversion hereof have not and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state of the United States. The 2025 Convertible Notes and the Common Shares may only be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred to

The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all holders of 2025 Convertible Notes outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments signed by the holders of a specified majority of 2025 Convertible Notes outstanding, which resolutions or instruments may have the effect of amending the terms of this 2025 Convertible Note or the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions disclaiming any personal liability on the part of holders of Common Shares, officers, directors and employees of the Issuer in respect of any obligation or claim arising out of the Indenture or this 2025 Convertible Note.

Thereupon a new 2025 Convertible Note or 2025 Convertible Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange hereof.
