DEBENTURE TERMS

   

Wescorp Energy Inc. (the "Company") for value received hereby promises to pay to <> of <> (the "Holder") on or before <>, 2008 [Six months from the date of issue] ( the “Maturity Date”), on presentation and surrender of this Debenture the sum of $_________ in lawful money of the United States and to pay interest on the principal amount hereof at the rate of 14% per annum from the date of issue of this Debenture (the "Closing Date"), such interest to be calculated and paid monthly, provided however that if the payment of interest would result in a breach of any applicable bank covenants of the Company, then such interest shall continue to accrue but shall only be paid when such payment would not result in a breach of any applicable bank covenants. Except when the payment of interest would result in a breach by the Company of any of its applicable bank covenants, should the Company at any time make default in the payment of any principal or interest, the Company agrees to pay interest on the amount in default at the same rate, annually on the same dates. As interest on this Debenture becomes due, the Company (except in case of payment at maturity or on redemption at which time payment of interest may be made upon surrender of this Debenture) shall, at least three business days prior to each date on which interest becomes due, forward or cause to be forwarded by prepaid post to the registered address of the registered holder of this Debenture for the time being, or in the case of joint holders to the registered address of whichever of such joint holders is named first, a cheque for such interest, less any tax required by law to be deducted, payable to the order of such holder



or holders. The forwarding of such cheque shall satisfy and discharge the liability for interest upon this Debenture to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax deducted as aforesaid) unless such cheque be not paid on presentation.

II.

REDEMPTION

   

This Debenture may be redeemed by the Company, without penalty, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, upon 30 days prior written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Holder, and the Debenture shall thereafter be redeemable in whole or in part from time to time at the option of the Company at a price equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Debenture (collectively the “Redemption Amount”).

   

The Redemption Notice shall be given by or on behalf of the Company to the holder of the Debenture at least 30 days prior to the date (the "Redemption Date") fixed for redemption. The Redemption Notice shall specify, in case of a partial redemption of this Debenture, that part of the principal amount thereof to be so redeemed and shall specify the redemption date, the redemption price and places of payment and shall state that all interest thereon shall cease from and after the Redemption Date.

   

If the Debenture has not been converted either in whole or in part by the Holder, commencing on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder who surrenders this Debenture Certificate which are subject of the redemption by the Company, the Redemption Amount in cash, and if the Debenture is being redeemed in part only, a new Debenture Certificate, to such Holder promptly upon receipt of this Debenture Certificate.

   

In case the Holder of this Debenture so called for redemption shall, within 30 days from the date fixed for redemption, fail so to surrender any of this Debenture or shall not within such time accept payment of the Redemption Amount payable in respect thereof, the Company shall set aside in trust for such holder such monies. Any monies shall be deposited in a chartered bank in Canada. Such setting aside shall for all purposes be deemed a payment to the Holder of the sum so set aside and to the extent such Debenture shall thereafter not be considered as outstanding and the Holder shall only have right to receive payment of the money so paid and deposited upon surrender and delivery up of his Debenture or Debentures, in which case, he shall be entitled to receipt of the Redemption Amount only.

   

If payment of the Redemption Amount of this Debenture which has been called for by the Company is not made upon due surrender of the such Debenture, the right to convert such Debenture, shall, in addition to all other rights that may then accrue to the Debenture Holder, revive and continue as if such Debenture had not been called for redemption.
