3.
Security
As security for the obligations of the Company to the Holder pursuant to this Debenture, the Holder and the Company agree to enter into the General Security Agreement.
4.
Conversion
4.1
At any time while the Principal Amount is outstanding, the Principal Amount then outstanding (together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) (the Indebted Amount) may be converted into units of the Company (each, a Unit) at the option of the Holder for all but not less than all the Indebted Amount, at any time until the Maturity Date. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a Share) and one non-transferable share purchase warrant (each, a Warrant). Each Warrant will entitle the Holder to acquire an additional Share at the exercise price of $0.40 per Share for a period of two years from the Closing Date.
4.2
The Holder shall effect a conversion by delivering to the Company a duly completed and executed Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto as Schedule A (a Notice of Conversion), specifying the aggregate amount of the Principal Amount to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a Conversion Date), which date shall not be more 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 five (5) days following the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion.
4.3
The number of Units issuable upon conversion of the Debenture shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the Indebted Amount being converted and (y) is $0.40 per Unit (the Conversion Price), subject to adjustment as set out herein.
- 3 -
4.4
Not later than ten (10) Business Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder certificates representing the number of Shares and Warrants being issued, which certificates shall bear such restrictive legends and trading restrictions as are required by applicable laws.
4.5
If the Company shall at any time or from time to time, while any Principal Amount is still outstanding, effect a subdivision or consolidation of the outstanding Shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before a subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and, conversely, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before a consolidation shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 4.5 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or consolidation becomes effective.
4.6
If at any time while any Principal Amount is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or combination 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 Shares are permitted to tender or exchange their Shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification or recapitalization of the Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than a subdivision, consolidation or dividend provided for elsewhere in this Section 4) (in any such case, a Fundamental Change), then, upon any subsequent conversion of a Principal Amount, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Unit 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 (the Alternate Consideration). If holders of Shares 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 Principal Amount following such Fundamental Change.
4.7
Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of Shares and Warrants, and the Company shall be entitled to round the number of Shares and Warrants down to the nearest whole number. The Holder agrees to waive any rights or entitlements to fractional Shares and Warrants that the Holder may have in connection with a conversion hereunder.
