5. Conversion

 

5.1 The Parties agree that the Principal Amount, plus any accrued interest thereon, will, at the election of the Holder, be convertible into Conversion Shares subject to the limitations set forth in this Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, this Note shall not be convertible by the Holder, and the Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note or otherwise issue any Conversion Shares pursuant hereto, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the issued and outstanding Shares after such conversion. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Note shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to the Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to convert this Note or to issue Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 5.1 with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. For purposes of this Section 5.1, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall only be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5.1 to correct this Section 5.1 (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to the Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 5.1 shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Shares then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Shares, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Note. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that: (a) any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (b) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder sending such notice.

 

5.2 In order to effect any conversion under this Note and subject to the limitations set forth in this Note, the Holder must provide written notice (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company setting out the portion of the Principal Amount, and accrued interest thereon, that is to be converted into Conversion Shares.

 

5.3 The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Principal Amount to be converted shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the Principal Amount to be converted and (y) is the Conversion Price.

 

5.4 The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any accrued and outstanding interest on this Note shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the amount of accrued interest on the Principal Amount to be converted and (y) is the Conversion Price.

 

5.5 Not later than five Business Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate representing the Conversion Shares (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable law) representing the aggregate number of Conversion Shares being acquired.

5.6 Upon any conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a Conversion Share, and the number of Conversion Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

 

5.7 If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (a) subdivides outstanding Shares into a larger number of Shares, (b) combines (including by way of reverse split) outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares, or (c) issues, by reclassification of Shares, any equity securities of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares outstanding before such event and the denominator shall be the number of Shares outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall become effective after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

6. Repayment

 

6.1 Payment of this Note (less any tax required to be withheld by the Company) shall be paid to the Holder by the Company by cheque, wire transfer or such other method as may be mutually agreed to by the Parties from time to time.

 

7. Prepayment

 

7.1 Subject to Sections 5 and 7 of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder the Principal Amount, and accrued interest thereon, in cash on the Maturity Date. The Company may, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, upon ten calendar days’ prior written notice to the Holder (a “Prepayment Notice”), prepay any portion of the Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, without the prior written consent of the Holder, provided that at the time of such prepayment the Holder is able to convert all amounts being prepaid without exceeding the Maximum Percentage.

 

7.2 The Prepayment Notice shall set forth the date on which prepayment is to occur, such date being no earlier than ten calendar days after the date of the Prepayment Notice and no later than the Maturity Date (in any case, the “Prepayment Date”), and shall set forth that portion of the Principal Amount to be prepaid, along with the calculated accrued interest thereon, as through and including the Prepayment Date (the “Prepayment Amount”).

 

7.3 The Prepayment Amount (less any tax required to be withheld by the Company) shall be paid to the Holder by the Company by cheque, wire transfer or such other method as may be mutually agreed to by the Parties from time to time. The mailing of such cheque, or payment by other means, by the Company on or before the Prepayment Date shall be deemed to be payment on the Prepayment Date unless the cheque is not paid upon presentation, or payment by such other means as may be mutually agreed to by the Parties is not received prior to the Prepayment Date. If only a part of the Principal Amount is to be prepaid, a new certificate for the balance of the Principal Amount shall be issued at the expense of the Company and delivered to the Holder, together with the cheque representing the Prepayment as provided for in this Section 7.3.

7.4 At any time after a Prepayment Notice is given, the Company shall have the right to deliver to the Holder, or to such other Person as may be directed by the Holder, the Prepayment Amount. Upon the delivery of the Prepayment Amount to the Holder being made, or upon the Prepayment Date, whichever is later, the Note shall be, and be deemed to be, paid and the rights of the Holder shall be limited to receiving, without interest, the amount so deposited. Any interest allowed on such deposit shall accrue to the Company.

  (b) the Company fails to issue the Conversion Shares within ten (10) Business Days after a Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company;

  (d) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against the Company seeking any reorganization, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, and such order, judgment or decree remains unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of 60 Business Days (whether or not consecutive) from the first date of entry thereof; or any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company is appointed without the consent or acquiescence of the Company and such appointment remains unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of 60 Business Days (whether or not consecutive); or
     
  (e) the Company ceases or threatens to cease to carry on its business.

 

8.2 If any Event of Default occurs, subject to any cure period, the full Principal Amount, together with interest thereon accrued to the date of the Event of Default, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Upon payment of the full Principal Amount, together with accrued interest and any other amounts owing under this Note, this Note shall promptly be surrendered to or as directed by the Company. The Holder need not provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately, subject to any cure period, enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a Note holder until such time, if any, as the full payment of amounts owing under this Note shall have been received by it. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
