8.7.5 The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Lender, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 8.7) or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
8.7.6 If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund or credit of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.7, it shall notify the Borrower and it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 8.7 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest, net of Taxes thereon, paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit), provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the written request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Schedule 2.6
Conversion Provisions
1. Conversion Right. Subject to applicable securities laws and the limitations set forth in Section 4 of this Schedule 2.6, the Lender shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Principal and, subject to Pricing Shareholder Approval, any accrued Interest into Conversion Shares in accordance with Section 2 of this Schedule 2.6, at a conversion price per share of US$0.185 (the "Conversion Price").
2. Conversion. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4 of this Schedule 2.6, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount (as defined below) by (y) the Conversion Price.
i. "Conversion Amount" means the portion of the Principal and any accrued Interest to be converted, prepaid or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.
ii. Subject to Stock Exchange approval, the Conversion Price is subject to equitable adjustments resulting from any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or similar events.
iii. The Parent shall not issue any fraction of a Conversion Share upon any conversion; the Parent shall round any fractional share up to the nearest whole share. The Parent shall pay in cash any and all reasonable transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the transfer agent) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares.
3. Conversion Mechanics. To convert any Conversion Amount into Conversion Shares on a Conversion Date, the Lender shall deliver to the Parent (whether via facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or before 6:00 p.m., New York time on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Conversion Notice"). The Parent will issue and deliver certificates (or make electronic delivery to the Lender's account) representing the Conversion Shares within three (3) Business Days of the Parent's receipt of the Conversion Notice. The Lender shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Shares to be issued on the Conversion Date.
4. Compliance with Stock Exchange Rules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary and in addition to the limitations set forth in Section 7 of this Schedule 2.6, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued:
i. to the Lender in connection with the Offering together with the holders of Notes and Warrants (pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants, the conversion of the Notes (and/or payment of interest thereon in Shares) and/or the conversion of the amounts outstanding (i.e. the Principal and accrued Interest into Conversion Shares) under this Agreement (as the case may be)) shall be limited to 43,664,524 Shares (the "General Cap"), which equals 24.99% of the issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) as of the date of the subscription documents executed by the Lender in connection with the Offering, unless the General Shareholder Approval is obtained; and
ii. to insiders of the Parent (as of the date hereof) from time to time in connection with the Offering (pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants, the conversion of the Notes (and/or payment of interest thereon in Shares) and/or the conversion of the amounts outstanding (i.e. the Principal and accrued Interest into Conversion Shares) under this Agreement (as the case may be)) shall be limited to 17,465,809 Shares (the "Insider Issuance Cap"), which equals 9.99% of the issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) as of the date of the subscription documents executed by the Lender in connection with the Offering, unless the Insider Shareholder Approval is obtained.
Each of the General Cap and the Insider Issuance Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse-stock split or other similar transaction. For certainty, in the event that the General Shareholder Approval and/or the Insider Shareholder Approval have been obtained, the General Cap and/or the Insider Issuance Cap, as applicable, shall not be applicable.
5. The right of the Lender to convert amount outstanding under this Agreement as set out in Section 1 of this Schedule 2.6 shall be subject to confirmation by the Parent that the proposed conversion of the Conversion Amount complies with the General Cap and/or the Insider Issuance Cap, or the obtaining of the General Shareholder Approval and/or the Insider Shareholder Approval, as the case may be, such confirmation to be evidenced by the acceptance of the Conversion Notice by the Parent in writing.
6. For greater certainty, the Parent shall not effect any conversion of any Conversion Amount, and the Lender shall not have the right to exercise the Warrants, convert the Notes (and/or payment of interest thereon in Shares) and/or convert any Conversion Amount (as the case may be), to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance, the General Cap or the Insider Issuance Cap would be exceeded, without the General Shareholder Approval and/or the Insider Shareholder Approval, as applicable.
24
7. Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Parent shall not effect any conversion of any Conversion Amount, and the Lender shall not have the right to convert any portion of any Conversion Amount to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance of the Conversion Shares after conversion as set forth on the applicable Conversion Notice, the Lender (together with the Lender's Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Lender or any of the Lender's Affiliates (such Persons, "Attribution Parties")), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Lender and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Shares issuable upon the Conversion of the Conversion Amount with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Shares which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Agreement beneficially owned by the Lender or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Parent (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Lender or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 7, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Lender that the Parent is not representing to the Lender that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Lender is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 7 applies, the determination of whether any amount outstanding under this Agreement is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Lender together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of the amount outstanding under this Agreement is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Lender, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Lender's determination of whether such amount is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Lender together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of such amount is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Parent shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 7, in determining the number of outstanding Shares, a Lender may rely on the number of outstanding Shares as reflected in (A) the Parent's most recent periodic or annual report filed with applicable securities regulators, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Parent or (C) a more recent written notice by the Parent or its transfer agent setting forth the number of Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Lender, the Parent shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Lender the number of Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Parent, including the amount outstanding under this Agreement, by the Lender or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Shares was reported. The "Beneficial Ownership Limitation" shall be 9.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares issuable upon conversion of such amounts. The Lender, upon notice to the Parent, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 7, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares upon conversion of the amount outstanding under this Agreement held by the Lender and the provisions of this Section 7 shall continue to apply, unless: (A) the Lender, provides the applicable stock exchange with a personal information form pursuant to the rules of such stock exchange, and (B) if required, the form has been approved by such stock exchange. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Parent. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 7 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not apply if the Lender beneficially owns in excess of 9.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately before giving effect to the issuance of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.
8. The Lender acknowledges that the Conversion Shares acquired upon conversion of the amounts outstanding, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws. The certificate or DRS statement representing the Conversion Shares issued upon such Conversion of the amounts outstanding shall bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "U.S. SECURITIES ACT"), OR UNDER ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVE UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.
