3.              Conversion

3.1            At any time after the Issue Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note may be converted into Conversion Shares at any time and from time-to-time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Holder. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the amount of principal and interest to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”); provided that the date upon which any such conversion may be effected may not be less than 5 calendar 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 10 calendar days after such Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Company. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion within 10 business days of receipt of such notice. The Holder, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.


A-3

3.2            The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of any outstanding principal under the Note shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the amount of outstanding principal to be converted and (y) is the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined).

3.3            The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of any accrued and outstanding interest on the Note (the “Accrued Interest”) shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the amount of Accrued Interest to be converted and (y) is the Market Price on the Conversion Date.

3.4            Not later than five Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable law and those required by the Subscription Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of Note.

3.5            The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $0.50.

3.6            The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock such number of shares as is necessary in order to ensure that a sufficient number are available for the purpose of issuance of Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note, free from pre-emptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder. The Company covenants that all Conversion Shares shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

3.7            Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of any Conversion Shares, and the number of Conversion Shares shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions in shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

4.            Prepayment

If the aggregate unconverted and outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is converted by the Holder on or before March 31, 2010 then the Holder shall not be entitled to any interest, Accrued Interest or other amount deemed interest due under the Note.

The Company may, from time to time at its option, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice (a “Prepayment Notice”) to the Holder, prepay (each a “Prepayment”) all or part of this Note (with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon) prior to the Maturity Date (the “Outstanding Principal”). The Prepayment (less any tax required to be withheld by the Company) shall be paid by cheque or by such other reasonable means as the Company deems desirable. The mailing of such cheque from the Company's registered office, or the payment by such other reasonable means as the Company deems desirable, 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 is not received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to require at any time, and from time to time, that the Prepayment be paid to the Holder only upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Company or at any other place or places designated by the Prepayment Notice. If only a part of the Note is to be prepaid, a new certificate for the balance shall be issued at the expense of the Company.

At any time after a Prepayment Notice is given, the Company shall have the right to deposit the amount of the prepayment with any chartered bank or banks or with any trust company or trust companies in British Columbia named for such purpose in the Prepayment Notice to the credit of a special account or accounts in trust for Holder, to be paid to it upon surrender to such bank or banks or trust company or trust companies of the certificate or certificates representing the Note. Upon such deposit or deposits 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.
