If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be deliverable upon the conversion of any principal of this Debenture, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering any certificate(s) for such fractional interest, satisfy such fractional interest by paying to the Holder an amount in lawful money of the United States of America equal (computed to the nearest cent) to the appropriate fraction of the value of a Common Share on the business day next preceding the Conversion Date.

 

5.5Manner of Conversion.

 

(a)This Debenture will be deemed to be surrendered for conversion by the Holder on the date on which it is so surrendered by the Holder in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5 and, in the case of this Debenture so surrendered by post or other means of transmission, on the date on which it is received by the Corporation at its office specified herein, whichever is the first to occur (the “Conversion Date”); provided that if this Debenture is surrendered for conversion on a day on which the register of Common Shares is closed, the person or persons entitled to receive Common Shares shall become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares as at the date on which such register is next reopened.

(c)In the event the Principal Amount, or any portion thereof, is converted into Common Shares pursuant to the terms hereof, then same shall be applied in the reverse order of payment of indebtedness as is set forth in Section 2.4 hereof.

 

5.6Adjustments.

 

(a)In the event of any reclassification, subdivision or redivision of the issued Common Shares at any time prior to the Maturity Date into a greater number of Common Shares (including the declaration or payment of any stock dividend), the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of any such event shall be adjusted immediately after such event, so that it shall equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this subparagraph (a), the number of Common Shares subject to the right of conversion under each Debenture (the “Exchange Rate”) shall be contemporaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore obtainable on the exercise thereof by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the respective Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator shall be the respective Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment. Any such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subparagraph (a) shall occur.

 

- 8 -
 

 

(b)In the event of any consolidation or change in the Common Shares of the Corporation at any time prior to the Maturity Date into a lesser number of Common Shares, the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of any such event shall be adjusted immediately after such event, so that it shall equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this subparagraph (b), the Exchange Rate shall be contemporaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore obtainable on the exercise thereof by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the respective Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator shall be the respective Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment. Any such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subparagraph (b) shall occur.

 

(c)Except in the case of a Change of Control Event, in which case the provisions of Article 4 will apply, in the event that the Corporation shall at any time prior to the Maturity Date, amalgamate, consolidate with or merge into another corporation, the Holder shall thereafter receive, upon the conversion of its right to purchase, but only as to the Common Shares in respect of which the Debenture are then converted, the securities or property which the Holder would have been entitled to if it had converted the Debenture immediately prior to the amalgamation, consolidation or merger, and the Corporation will take steps in connection with such amalgamation, consolidation or merger as may be necessary to ensure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be possible in relation to any securities or properties thereafter delivered upon the conversion of the Debenture. A sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation for a consideration (apart from the assumption of obligations) consisting primarily of securities, shall be deemed a consolidation, amalgamation or merger for the foregoing purposes.

 

(d)If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Corporation

 

(A)shall fix a record date or if a date of entitlement to receive is otherwise established (any such date, the “record date”) for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of the outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares at a price per share or, as the case may be, or

 

(B)issues or sells, or in accordance, is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares,

 

- 9 -
 

  

having a conversion or exchange price per share less than 100% of the Current Market Price then in effect (any such issuance, a “Rights Offering”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction,

 

(i)the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number equal to the number arrived at by dividing whichever, as applicable, of the following by the Current Market Price: (i) the aggregate subscription or purchase price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase; or (ii) the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered; and

 

(ii)the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares so offered (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable). In making the adjustment provided for in this subparagraph 5.6(d):

 

(A)Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation;

 

(B)such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and

 

(C)to the extent that any rights or warrants are not so issued or any such rights or warrants are not converted prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Price shall then be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares or conversion or exchange rights contained in convertible or exchangeable securities actually issued upon the conversion of such rights or warrants, as the case may be.

 

(e)If any time prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the Common Shares:

 

(i)shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares;

 

(ii)rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares (other than rights, options or warrants pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at an exchange or conversion price per share at the date of issue of such securities) of at least 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date);

 

(iii)evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation; or

 

- 10 -
 

 

(iv)any property or assets of the Corporation (excluding cash dividends that a Holder is otherwise entitled to receive); and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a corporate change contemplated in sections 5.6(a),5.6(b), 5.6(c) or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events, a “Special Distribution”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Special Distribution to the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the record date for the Special Distribution by a fraction:

 

(A)the numerator of which shall be the difference between:

 

(I)the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; and

 

(II)the fair value, as determined by the directors of the Corporation (provided, however, that if the Holder objects such valuation of the directors, the fair value shall be determined by a firm of independent chartered accountants (that qualifies as a big four accounting firm) as may be selected by the directors), to the holders of the Common Shares of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or property or assets to be issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and

 

(B)the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date.

 

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Conversion Price occurs pursuant to this Section 5.6(e) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares referred to in this section 5.6(e), the Conversion Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant conversion, exchange or conversion right to the amount which would then be in effect if the fair market value had been determined on the basis of the number of Common Shares issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiry, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.

 

5.7Rules Regarding Calculating Adjustments.

 

(a)Adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Article shall occur. Upon any adjustment of the number of Common Shares which may be purchased hereunder, the Corporation shall give written notice to the Holder, giving particulars of such adjustment.

 

(b)No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than 1% of the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the event giving rise to the adjustment, provided, however, that in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to at least 1% of the Conversion Price.

 

- 11 -
 

 

(c)Upon any adjustment of the number of Common Shares and upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, then and in each such case the Corporation shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Conversion Price and the number of Common Shares or other securities subject to the unconverted Debenture resulting from such adjustment, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the request of the Holder, there shall be transmitted promptly to the Holder a statement of the firm of independent chartered accountants retained to audit the financial statements of the Corporation to the effect that such firm concurs in the Corporation’s calculation of the change.

 

(d)In case at any time:

 

(i)the Corporation shall declare any dividend upon its Common Shares;

 

(ii)the Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Shares any additional shares of any class or other rights;

 

(iii)there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, or consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation; or

 

(iv)there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,

 

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Corporation shall give to the Holder:

 

(A)at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up; and

 

(B)in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place.

 

Such notice in accordance with the foregoing Section 5.7(d)(iv)(A) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Shares shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing Section 5.7(d)(iv)(B) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be.

 

5.8Reservation of Sufficient Common Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when any part of this Debenture remains outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Debenture, such number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion hereof and to satisfy the obligation to issue Common Shares. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment to the Conversion Price, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Corporation shall have unissued and reserved in its authorized capital, and may validly and legally issue, the Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled on the full exercise of its conversion rights in accordance with the provisions hereof.
