“The provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 shall not apply to any security which has been or is to be issued under an indenture which limits the aggregate principal amount of securities at any time outstanding thereunder to $10,000,000 or less, but this exemption shall not be applied within a period of thirty-six consecutive months to more than $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of securities of the same issuer.”

§4.2        Reliance on this Indenture.

 

Because the Debentures are not afforded many of the safeguards applicable under the Indenture Act, all of the terms of the Series 2021 Class B Preferred Convertible, Subordinated Debentures are contained in this instrument, consequently, its detailed terms are of substantial importance to Puget, the Debenture Agent and to the Debenture holders.

 

Article 5 Filing of Securities Act Registration Statement

 

§5.1        Piggyback Registration.

 

In the event Puget files a registration statement during the term of this Indenture, it shall notify all of the original Debenture holders of the series of the Series 2021 Class B Preferred Convertible, Subordinated Debentures in writing, and their successors in interest either in writing or by publication in a newspaper of national circulation (e.g., USA Today or the Wall Street Journal) of such intent and shall, at the request of any of them but at their expense, register their Debenture(s) and the shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock underlying the conversion rights described herein, in such registration statement.

 

§5.2        Report of Current Event on Commission Form 8-K.

 

Subscribers for Debentures hereby acknowledge that while Puget intends to file a copy of this Indenture with the SEC as an exhibit under the Exchange Act, such filing does not imply compliance with registration requirements under the Securities Act.

(b)Each Debenture Certificate originally issued to a U.S. Purchaser and each Debenture Certificate issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof will bear, for so long as required by the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, the following legend or such variations thereof as Puget may prescribe from time to time:

 

“This Debenture and the securities deliverable upon the conversion thereof have not been registered under the united states securities act of 1933, as amended or under the securities laws of any state. The holder hereof, by purchasing such securities, agrees for the benefit of the issuer of such securities and its successors (“Puget”) that such securities may be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, only (a) to Puget; (b) outside the United States in accordance with Commission Rule 904 of Regulation S and in compliance with local laws and regulations; (c) in accordance with the exemption from registration provided by Commission Rule 144 or Rule 144A thereunder, if available, and in compliance with applicable state securities laws; or (d) in a transaction that does not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and, in the case of paragraph (c) or (d), the seller has prior to such transfer furnished to Puget an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance satisfactory to Puget to such effect.”

 

(c)If the Debentures are being sold in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations, the legend above may be removed by providing a declaration to the Debenture Agent, substantially in the form set forth in Schedule “D” (or in such other form as Puget may prescribe from time to time), together with such other evidence of the availability of an exemption (which may, without limitation, include an opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Puget) as the Debenture Agent may reasonably require; provided that if any Debentures are being sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the above legend may be removed by delivery to the Debenture Agent of an opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Puget, to the effect that such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act.

 

(d)The Debenture Agent will be entitled to request any other documents that it may require in accordance with its internal policies for the removal of the legend set forth above.

 

(2)Each Global Debenture originally issued in the United States of America and held by the Depository, and each Global Debenture issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof will bear or be deemed to bear the following legend or such variations thereof as Puget may prescribe from time to time:

 

“Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Debenture Agent selected by Puget Technologies, Inc. (the “issuer”) or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued in respect thereof is registered in the name of the Debenture Agent or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of the Debenture Agent (and any payment is made to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Debenture Agent), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful since the registered holder hereof has a property interest in the securities represented by this certificate herein and it is a violation of its rights for another person to hold, transfer or deal with this certificate.”

(3)Each Certificated Debenture and each Global Debenture held by the Depository on the First Closing Date or a Subsequent Closing Date, as applicable (and each such Certificated Debenture or Global Debenture, as the case may be, issued in exchange therefore or in substitution thereof prior to the date that is 365 days after the First Closing Date or a Subsequent Closing Date, as applicable) will bear or be deemed to bear the following legend or such variations thereof as Puget my prescribe from time to time:

 

“Unless permitted under applicable securities legislation, the holder of this security must not trade the security before [insert the date that is 365 days after the first closing date or a Subsequent Closing Date, as applicable].”

 

§6.5        Register of Debentures.

 

(1)(a)The Debenture Agent will maintain records and accounts concerning the Debentures, whether certificated or uncertificated, which will contain the information called for below with respect to each Debenture, together with such other information as may be required by law or as the Debenture Agent may elect to record.

 

(b)All such information will be kept in one set of accounts and records which the Debenture Agent will designate (in such manner as will permit it to be so identified as such by an unaffiliated party) as the register of the holders of Debentures.

 

(c)The information to be entered for each account in the register of Debentures at any time will include (without limitation):

 

1.the name and address of the holder of the Debentures, the date of Authentication thereof and the number of Debentures;

 

2.whether such Debenture is a Certificated Debenture or an Uncertificated Debenture and, if a Debenture Certificate, the unique number or code assigned to and imprinted thereupon and, if an Uncertificated Debenture, the unique number or code assigned thereto if any;

 

3.whether such Debenture has been cancelled; and

 

4.a register of transfers in which all transfers of Debentures and the date and other particulars of each transfer will be entered.

 

  (d)1.The register will be available for inspection by Puget and or any Debenture holder during the Debenture Agent’s regular business hours on a Business Day and upon payment to the Debenture Agent of its reasonable fees.

 

2.Any Debenture holder exercising such right of inspection will first provide an affidavit in form satisfactory to Puget and the Debenture Agent stating the name and address of the Debenture holder and agreeing not to use the information therein except in connection with an effort to call a meeting of Debenture holders or to influence the voting of Debenture holders at any meeting of Debenture holders.

 

(2)(a)Once an Uncertificated Debenture has been Authenticated, the information set forth in the register with respect thereto at the time of Authentication may be altered, modified, amended, supplemented or otherwise changed only to reflect conversion or proper instructions to the Debenture Agent from the holder as provided herein, except that the Debenture Agent may act unilaterally to make purely administrative changes internal to the Debenture Agent and changes to correct errors.

 

(b)Each person who becomes a holder of an Uncertificated Debenture, by his, her or its acquisition thereof will be deemed to have irrevocably (i) consented to the foregoing authority of the Debenture Agent to make such minor error corrections and (ii) agreed to pay to the Debenture Agent, promptly upon written demand, the full amount of all loss and expense (including without limitation reasonable legal fees of Puget and the Debenture Agent plus interest, at an appropriate then prevailing rate of interest to the Debenture Agent), sustained by Puget or the Debenture Agent as a proximate result of such error if but only if and only to the extent that such present or former holder realized any benefit as a result of such error and could reasonably have prevented, forestalled or minimized such loss and expense by prompt reporting of the error or avoidance of accepting benefits thereof whether or not such error is or should have been timely detected and corrected by the Debenture Agent; provided, that no person who is a bona fide purchaser will have any such obligation to Puget or to the Debenture Agent.

Subject to the provisions hereof, each Registered Debenture holder may exercise the right conferred on such holder to convert such Debenture prior to the Expiry Time and in accordance with the conditions herein into shares of Puget’s Class B Convertible Preferred Stock at a conversion rate of $1.75 per share, thus, for example, at the end of the first year, the principal balance of a $1,000 Debenture plus accrued interest would be $1,080 entitling the holder to convert such Debenture for 617 shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

§7.2        Debenture Conversion.

(b)The Debentures represented by a Debenture Certificate will be deemed to be surrendered upon personal delivery of such certificate, Conversion Notice and aggregate Conversion Price or, if such documents are sent by mail or other means of transmission, upon actual receipt thereof by the Debenture Agent at the office referred to above.

 

(2)(a)A Registered holder of Uncertificated Debentures evidenced by a security entitlement in respect of Debentures must complete the Conversion Notice and deliver the executed Conversion Notice and a certified check, bank draft or money order payable to or to the order of Puget for the aggregate Conversion Price to the Debenture Agent at the Debenture Agency.

 

(b)The Uncertificated Debentures will be deemed to be surrendered upon receipt of the Conversion Notice and aggregate Conversion Price or, if such documents are sent by mail or other means of transmission, upon actual receipt thereof by the Debenture Agent at the office referred to above.

 

(3)(a)A beneficial owner of Debentures issued in uncertificated form evidenced by a security entitlement in respect of Debentures in the book entry registration system who desires to convert his or her Debentures must do so by causing a Book Entry Only Participant to deliver to the Depository on behalf of the entitlement holder, notice of the owner’s intention to convert Debentures in a manner acceptable to the Depository.

 

(b)Forthwith upon receipt by the Depository of such notice, as well as payment for the aggregate Conversion Price, the Depository will deliver to the Debenture Agent confirmation of its intention to convert Debentures (a “Confirmation”) in a manner acceptable to the Debenture Agent, including by electronic means through a book based registration system.

 

(c)An electronic conversion of the Debentures initiated by the Book Entry Only Participant through a book based registration system will constitute a representation to both Puget and the Debenture Agent that the beneficial owner at the time of conversion of such Debentures (a) is not in the United States; (b) is not a U.S. Person and is not exercising such Debentures on behalf of, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person or a person in the United States; (c) did not acquire the Debentures in the United States or on behalf of, or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States; (d) did not receive an offer to convert the Debenture in the United States; (e) did not execute or deliver the notice of the owner’s intention to convert such Debentures in the United States; and (f) has, in all other respects, complied with the terms of Regulation S in connection with such conversion.

(d)If the Book Entry Only Participant is not able to make or deliver the foregoing representation by initiating the electronic conversion of the Debentures, then such Debentures will be withdrawn from the book based registration system by the Book Entry Only Participant and an individually registered Debenture Certificate will be issued by the Debenture Agent to such Beneficial Owner or Book Entry Only Participant and the conversion procedures set forth in §7.2(1) will be followed.

 

(4)Conversions of Debentures into shares of Puget’s Class B Convertible Preferred Stock will be effected in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof and consequently it is assumed that the holding period under applicable securities laws for the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock received on conversion will relate back to the date the Debenture was originally acquired by the converting holder, and, in the event that the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock is in turn converted into shares of Puget’s Common Stock, that Section 3(a)(9) will again apply to permit tacking of the prior holding periods.

 

(5)By causing a Book Entry Only Participant to deliver notice to the Depository, a Debenture holder will be deemed to have irrevocably surrendered his or her Debentures so converted and appointed such Book Entry Only Participant to act as his or her exclusive settlement agent with respect to the conversion and the receipt of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares in connection with the obligations arising from such conversion.

 

(6)(a)Any notice which the Depository determines to be incomplete, not in proper form or not duly executed will for all purposes be void and of no effect and the conversion to which it relates will be considered for all purposes not to have been exercised thereby.

 

(b)A failure by a Book Entry Only Participant to convert or to give effect to the settlement thereof in accordance with the Debenture holder’s instructions will not give rise to any obligations or liability on the part of Puget or Debenture Agent to the Book Entry Only Participant or the Debenture holder.

 

(7)Any conversion form or Conversion Notice referred to in this §7.2 will be signed by the Registered Debenture holder, or his, her or its executors or administrators or other legal representatives or an attorney of the Registered Debenture holder, duly appointed by an instrument in writing satisfactory to the Debenture Agent but such conversion form need not be executed by the Depository.

 

(8)Unless extended by Puget in its sole discretion, any conversion referred to in this §7.2 requires that the original Conversion Notice executed by the Registered Debenture holder or the Confirmation from the Depository be received by the Debenture Agent prior to the Expiry Time.

 

(9)Debentures may only be converted pursuant to this §7.2 by or on behalf of a Registered Debenture holder, as applicable, who makes the certifications set forth on, and delivers any other information or documents required pursuant to, the Conversion Notice set out in Schedule B or as provided herein.

 

(10)If the form of Conversion Notice set forth in the Debenture Certificate will have been amended, Puget will cause the amended Conversion Notice to be forwarded to all Registered Debenture holders.

 

(11)Conversion Notices and Confirmations must be delivered to the Debenture Agent at any time during the Debenture Agent’s actual business hours on any Business Day prior to the Expiry Time. Any Conversion Notice or Confirmations received by the Debenture Agent after business hours on any Business Day other than the Expiry Date will be deemed to have been received by the Debenture Agent on the next following Business Day.

(b)It is hereby understood that in order for persons to whom Class B Convertible Preferred Shares are to be issued, to become holders of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares on record on the Conversion Date, beneficial holders must commence the conversion process sufficiently in advance so that the Debenture Agent is in receipt of all items of conversion at least one Business Day prior to such Conversion Date.

 

(2)Within five Business Days after the Conversion Date with respect to a Debenture, the Debenture Agent will cause to be delivered or mailed to the person or persons in whose name or names the Debenture is registered or, if so specified in writing by the holder, cause to be delivered to such person or persons at the Debenture Agency where the Debenture Certificate was surrendered, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares subscribed for, or any other appropriate evidence of the issuance of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares to such person or persons in respect of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares issued under the book entry registration system.

§7.8       Expiration of Debenture Conversion Rights.

Article 8 Adjustment of Number of Shares and Conversion Price

 

§8.1        Adjustment of Number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares and Conversion Price.

 

The conversion rights in effect under the Debentures for Class B Convertible Preferred Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(1)(a)if, at any time during the Adjustment Period, Puget will:

 

(1)subdivide, re-divide or change its outstanding Class B Convertible Preferred Shares into a greater number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares;

 

Puget Technologies, Inc. * 1200 North Federal Highway, Suite 200-A; Boca Raton, Florida 33432 * 561 ###-###-####
***@*** * https://pugettechnologies.com/

Page 32 of 62 

 

(2)reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Class B Convertible Preferred Shares into a lesser number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares; or

 

(3)issue Class B Convertible Preferred Shares or securities exchangeable for, or convertible into, Class B Convertible Preferred Shares to all or substantially all of the holders of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend paid in the ordinary course or a distribution of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares upon the exercise of warrants (other than the Warrants comprising the Units in which the Debentures are included) or any outstanding options);

 

then the Conversion Price will be adjusted as of the effective date or record date of such subdivision, re-division, change, reduction, combination, consolidation or distribution, as the case may be.

 

(b)In the case of the events referred to in (a)(1) or (a)(3) above, the Conversion Price will be decreased in proportion to the number of outstanding Class B Convertible Preferred Shares resulting from such subdivision, re-division, change or distribution, or will, in the case of the events referred to in (a)(2) above, be increased in proportion to the number of outstanding Class B Convertible Preferred Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Class B Convertible Preferred Share Reorganization and the denominator of which will be the number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares outstanding as of the effective date or record date after giving effect to such Class B Convertible Preferred Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Class B Convertible Preferred Shares are distributed, the number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Class B Convertible Preferred Shares on such record date or effective date).

 

(c)Such adjustment will be made successively whenever any event referred to in this §8.1(1) will occur.

 

(d)Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to §8.1(1), the Conversion Rate will be contemporaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares theretofore obtainable on the conversion thereof by a fraction of which the numerator will be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator will be the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment;

 

(2)(a)If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, Puget will fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Class B Convertible Preferred Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Class B Convertible Preferred Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Class B Convertible Preferred Shares) at a price per Class B Convertible Preferred Share (or having a conversion or exchange price per Class B Convertible Preferred Share) less than 100% of the Current Market Price on such record date (a “Rights Offering”), the Conversion Price will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator will be the total number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Class B Convertible Preferred Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by the Current Market Price, and of which the denominator will be the total number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Class B Convertible Preferred Shares offered for subscription or purchase or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable;

Page 33 of 62 

 

(b)Any Class B Convertible Preferred Shares owned by or held for the account of Puget will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed;

 

(c)To the extent that no such rights or warrants are exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or, if any such rights or Debentures are converted, to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Class B Convertible Preferred Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights or Debentures, as the case may be.

 

(d)Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this §8.1(2), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator will be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator will be the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

(e)Such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates or record dates referred to in this §8.1(2) are fixed within a period of 25 Trading Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates.

 

(3)(a)If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period Puget will fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Class B Convertible Preferred Shares of (i) securities of any class, whether of Puget or any other entity (other than Class B Convertible Preferred Shares), (ii) rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Class B Convertible Preferred Shares (or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class B Convertible Preferred Shares), other than pursuant to a Rights Offering; (iii) evidences of its indebtedness or (iv) any property or other assets (other than dividends paid in the ordinary course) and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a Class B Convertible Preferred Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering or a distribution of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares upon the conversion of Debentures or any outstanding options, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator will be the total number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price on such record date, less the excess, if any, of the fair market value on such record date, as determined by Puget (whose determination will be conclusive), of such securities or other assets so issued or distributed over the fair market value of any consideration received therefor by Puget from the holders of the Class B Convertible Preferred Shares, and of which the denominator will be the total number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price;

 

(b)Class B Convertible Preferred Shares owned by or held for the account of Puget will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed;

 

(c)To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

 

(d)Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this §8.1(3), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator will be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator will be the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment.

(4)(a)If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, there is a reclassification of the Class B Convertible Preferred Shares or a capital reorganization of Puget other than as described in §8.1(1) or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of Puget with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a sale or conveyance of the property and assets of Puget as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, any Registered Debenture holder who has not converted its Debentures prior to the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger, sale or conveyance, upon the conversion of such Debenture thereafter, will be entitled to convert the subject Debentures but accept, in lieu of the number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares that prior to such effective date the Registered Debenture holder would have been entitled to receive, the number of shares or other securities or property of Puget or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such merger, amalgamation or consolidation, or to which such sale or conveyance may be made, as the case may be, that such Registered Debenture holder would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger, sale or conveyance, if, on the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Registered Debenture holder had been the registered holder of the number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares to which prior to such effective date it was entitled to acquire upon the conversion of the Debentures.

 

(b)If determined appropriate by the Debenture Agent, relying on advice of Counsel, to give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this §8.1(4), Puget, its successor, or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity, as the case may be, will, prior to or contemporaneously with any such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance, enter into an indenture which will provide, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set forth in this Indenture with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Debenture holders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Indenture will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which a Registered Debenture holder is entitled on the exercise of his, her or its conversion rights thereafter.

 

(c)Any indenture entered into between Puget and the Debenture Agent pursuant to the provisions of this §8.1(4) will be a supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to the provisions of Article 12 hereof.

 

(d)Any indenture entered into between Puget, any successor to Puget or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity and the Debenture Agent will provide for adjustments which will be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this §8.1 and which will apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, consolidations, amalgamations, arrangements, mergers, sales or conveyances.

 

(5)In any case in which this §8.1 will require that an adjustment will become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, Puget may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Registered Debenture holder of any Debenture converted after the record date and prior to completion of such event the additional Class B Convertible Preferred Shares issuable by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that Puget will deliver to such Registered Debenture holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such Registered Debenture holder’s right to receive such additional Class B Convertible Preferred Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Class B Convertible Preferred Shares declared in favor of holders of record of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares on and after the relevant date of conversion or such later date as such Registered Debenture holder would, but for the provisions of this §8.1(5), have become the holder of record of such additional Class B Convertible Preferred Shares pursuant to §8.1.

(6)In any case in which §8.1(1)(c), §8.1(2) or §8.1(3) require that an adjustment be made to the Conversion Price, no such adjustment will be made if the Registered Debenture holders of the outstanding Debentures receive, subject to any required stock exchange or regulatory approval, the rights or warrants referred to in §8.1(1)(c), §8.1(2) or the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets referred to in §8.1(3), as the case may be, in such kind and number as they would have received if they had been holders of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares on the applicable record date or effective date, as the case may be, by virtue of their outstanding Debenture having then been converted into Class B Convertible Preferred Shares at the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable record date or effective date, as the case may be.

 

(7)The adjustments provided for in this §8.1 are cumulative, and will, in the case of adjustments to the Conversion Price be computed to the nearest whole cent and will apply to successive subdivisions, re-divisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this §8.1, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this article, no adjustment of the Conversion Price will be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 5% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this §8.1(7) are not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

 

(8)After any adjustment pursuant to this §8.1, the term “Class B Convertible Preferred Shares” where used in this Indenture will be interpreted to mean securities of any class or classes which, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this §8.1, the Registered Debenture holder is entitled to receive upon the conversion of his Debenture, and the number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares indicated by any conversion made pursuant to a Debenture will be interpreted to mean the number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares or other property or securities a Registered Debenture holder is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this §8.1, upon the full conversion of a Debenture.

 

§8.2       Entitlement to Class B Convertible Preferred Shares on Conversion of Debenture.

 

All Class B Convertible Preferred Shares or shares of any class or other securities which a Registered Debenture holder is at the time in question entitled to receive on the conversion of his, her or its Debenture, whether or not as a result of adjustments made pursuant to this Article 8, will, for the purposes of the interpretation of this Indenture, be deemed to be Class B Convertible Preferred Shares which such Registered Debenture holder is entitled to acquire pursuant to such Debenture.

 

§8.3        No Adjustment for Certain Transactions.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8, no adjustment will be made in the conversion rights attached to the Debentures if the issue of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares is being made pursuant to the private placement for which this Indenture was created or in connection with (a) any share incentive plan or restricted share plan or share purchase plan in force from time to time for directors, officers, employees, consultants or other service providers of Puget; or (b) the satisfaction of existing instruments issued at the date hereof.

 

§8.4        Determination by Independent Firm.

 

(1)In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Article 8 such question will be conclusively determined by an independent firm of certified public accountants other than the Auditors, who will have access to all necessary records of Puget, and such determination will be binding upon Puget, the Debenture Agent, all holders and all other persons interested therein.

 

(2)The costs of such determination shall be born equally by Puget on the one hand and the persons demanding such determination unless it is clear that the request was made without a reasonable basis, in which case the costs will be borne by the parties making such request.

  

§8.5       Proceedings Prior to any Action Requiring Adjustment.

 

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in any of the acquisition rights pursuant to any of the Debentures, including the number of Class B Convertible Preferred Shares which are to be received upon the conversion thereof, Puget will take any action which may, in the opinion of Counsel, be necessary in order that Puget has unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the Class B Convertible Preferred Shares which the holders of such Debentures are entitled to receive on the full conversion thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

§8.6       Certificate of Adjustment.

 

(1)Puget will from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in §8.1, deliver a certificate to the Debenture Agent specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment or readjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate will be supported by a certificate of Puget’s Auditors verifying such calculation.

Schedule “A”

Form of Debenture

 

For all Debentures include the following legend until such time as it is no longer required in accordance with applicable United States securities laws and Pink Open Market policies:

 

Unless permitted under securities legislation, the holder of this security must not trade the security before [insert the date that is 365 after the First Closing Date or a Subsequent Closing Date, as applicable].
