(b)The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.3.

(d)Fractional interests in Common Shares that would otherwise be issuable upon any conversion of the Principal Amount shall be adjusted in the manner provided in Section 2.4.

 

 4 

 

 

2.2Manner of Exercise of Right to Convert

 

(a)If the Holder wishes to convert the Principal Amount into Common Shares, the Holder shall, prior to the Time of Expiry, surrender this Debenture to the Debtor, together with written notice, substantially in the form of Appendix 1 hereto, duly executed by the Holder or its legal representative or attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Debtor, exercising its right to convert the Principal Amount into Common Shares. Thereupon, the Holder or, subject to the payment of all applicable security transfer taxes or other governmental charges by the Holder, its nominee(s) or assignee(s), shall be entitled to be entered in the books of the Debtor (as of the Date of Conversion) as the holder of the number of Common Shares into which the Principal Amount is converted and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the Debtor shall deliver to the Holder or, subject as aforesaid, its nominee(s), or assignee(s), a certificate or certificates for such Common Shares.

 

(b)For the purposes of this Article 2, this Debenture shall be deemed to be surrendered for conversion by the Holder on the date (herein called the “Date of Conversion”) on which it (and the notice contemplated by subsection 2.2(a) above) is actually received by the Debtor.

 

(c)Upon the surrender of this Debenture pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Holder shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect thereof up to the Date of Conversion. Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Principal Amount by the Holder shall only be entitled to receive dividends declared in favour of shareholders of record on or after the Date of Conversion, from which applicable date such Common Shares will for all purposes be and be deemed to be issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares.

 

2.3Adjustment of Conversion Price

 

(a)If, and whenever at any time and from time to time the Debtor shall (i) subdivide, redivide or change its then outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (ii) reduce, combine, consolidate or change its then outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, or (iii) issue Common Shares (or securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of its then outstanding Common Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend in the ordinary course paid in Common Shares or securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares) (any of such events being herein called a “Share Reorganization”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the effective date or record date for the Share Reorganization, by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by the quotient obtained when:

 

(i)the number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to the Share Reorganization,

 

is divided by

 

(ii)the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the completion of such Share Reorganization (but before giving effect to the issue of any Common Shares issued after such record date otherwise than as part of such Share Reorganization) including, in the case where securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such record date.

 

 5 

 

 

(b)If, and whenever there is a capital reorganization of the Debtor not otherwise provided for in subsection 2.3(a) or a consolidation, merger, arrangement or amalgamation (statutory or otherwise) of the Debtor with or into another body corporate (any such event being called a “Capital Reorganization”), and the Holder has not exercised its right of conversion prior to the effective date or record date for such Capital Reorganization, then the Holder shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon any conversion of the Principal Amount after the effective date or record date for such Capital Reorganization, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which it was theretofore entitled upon conversion, the aggregate number of Common Shares or other securities of the Debtor or of the corporation or body corporate resulting, surviving or continuing from the Capital Reorganization that the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date or record date thereof, it had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which it was theretofore entitled upon the conversion of the Principal Amount; provided that no such Capital Reorganization shall be carried into effect unless all necessary steps shall have been taken so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive such number of Common Shares or other securities of the Debtor or of the corporation or body corporate resulting, surviving or continuing from the Capital Reorganization. The foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.3(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis in respect of any interest proposed to be paid through the issuance of Common Shares by the Debtor.

 

2.4No Requirement to Issue Fractional Common Shares

 

The Debtor shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the conversion of the Principal Amount into Common Shares pursuant to this Article 2. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 2.5, be deliverable upon the conversion of the Principal Amount or the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest in Common Shares, the Debtor shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional interest, satisfy such fractional interest by issuing to the Holder one full Common Share and delivering a certificate representing such Common Share to the Holder.

 

2.5Cancellation of Converted Debenture

 

Upon conversion of the entire Principal Amount, if applicable, pursuant to this Article 2 and payment of all accrued and unpaid interest (whether in cash or Common Shares), this Debenture shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect.

 

2.6Certificate as to Adjustment

 

The Debtor shall from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event that requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 2.3, deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Holder (the “Officer’s Certificate”) specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, provided, however, that in the event the Holder does not agree with the adjustment as set forth in the Officer’s Certificate, the Debtor shall obtain the certificate or opinion as to the appropriate adjustment from the Auditors of the Debtor, which certificate or opinion shall be conclusive and binding on the Debtor and the Holder.

2.7Notice of Special Matters

 

The Debtor covenants with the Holder that, so long as this Debenture remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Holder, in the manner provided in Section 12.4, of its intention to fix a record date or an effective date for any event referred to in Section 2.3 that may give rise to an adjustment in the Conversion Price, and, in each case, such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event; and, if prepared or available as at the date that such notice is required to be given pursuant to this Section 2.7, such notice shall be accompanied by the material (i.e. proxy circulars, information booklets etc.) sent to the holders of Common Shares in respect of the event in question, provided that the Debtor shall only be required to specify in such notice such particulars of such event as shall have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given.

All of which present and future property and assets of the Debtor referred to in the foregoing sub-paragraphs of this Section 4.1 are hereinafter collectively called the “Collateral” and the Holder’s rights in and to the Collateral is herein called the “Security Interest”. The aforesaid Security Interest shall be registered under and comply with the PPSA so as to provide the Holder or to whomsoever it may direct with a security interest and charge against the Collateral.

 

4.2       The Debtor and the Holder each agree and acknowledge that the Security Interest and the Collateral shall rank after any other security holders currently in place.

 

4.3       Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, which is continuing, the Debtor may dispose of or deal with the Collateral in the ordinary course of its business (including, for greater certainty, disposing of assets that are obsolete or surplus to its business) and for the purpose of carrying on the same, so that purchasers thereof or parties dealing with the Debtor take title thereto free and clear of the Security Interest. In the event of any such disposition in the ordinary course of business, the Holder will, at the written request of the Debtor (which will include a certificate of the Debtor stating that such Collateral is being dealt with or disposed of in accordance with this Section 4.3), release its Security Interest over the Collateral which has been disposed.

 

4.4       The Security Interest will not extend or apply to any personal property which is “consumer goods”, as such term is defined in the PPSA and the last day of the term of any lease of real property or agreement therefore, but upon the enforcement of the Security Interest, the Debtor will stand possessed of such last day in trust to assign the same at the direction of the Holder to any Person acquiring such term.

 

4.5       If any of the Collateral may not be assigned, or if the Security Interest may not be created therein by the Debtor in favour of the Holder (because the consent or approval of a third party or parties is required and such consent or approval has not been obtained or the requirement therefore waived as of the date hereof, and if the failure to obtain such consent or approval renders any of the Security Interest hereunder invalid and/or unenforceable or because rights appurtenant to the Collateral would not, as a matter of law, pass to the Holder as an incidence of the Security Interest made pursuant to this Debenture) the Debtor shall hold such Collateral and all benefits derived thereunder in trust for the Holder. The Debtor shall, at the request and under the direction of the Holder, in the name of the Debtor, take or cause to be taken all such action and do or cause to be done all such things as are necessary or desirable to preserve such Collateral and all benefits to be derived thereunder for the benefit and account of the Holder, and the Debtor agrees that following the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as the same is continuing, it shall, subject to Section 4.2, pay promptly to the Holder all monies collected by or paid to the Debtor in respect of such Collateral.

 

4.6       The Debtor confirms that value has been given, that the Debtor has rights in the Collateral, and that the Debtor and the Holder have not agreed to postpone the time for attachment of the Security Interest to any of the Collateral. In respect of Collateral that is acquired after the date of execution of this Debenture, the time for attachment will be the time when the Debtor acquires such Collateral.

 

4.7       Nothing herein contained shall render the Holder liable to any person for the fulfilment or non-fulfilment of the covenants, obligations, agreements and undertakings of the Debtor under the Collateral or any of them and the Debtor agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Holder from and against any and all claims or demands whatsoever of any person arising from or out of the Collateral, other than any claims or demands arising as a result of the negligence, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Holder.

 

4.8       The Security Interest does not and will not extend to, and the Collateral will not include, any agreement, right, franchise, licence or permit (the “Contractual Rights”) to which the Debtor is a party or of which the Debtor has the benefit, to the extent that the creation of the Security Interest would constitute a breach of the terms of, or permit any Person to terminate, the Contractual Rights, but the Debtor will hold its interest therein in trust for the Holder and will assign such Contractual Rights to the Holder forthwith upon obtaining the consent of the other party or parties thereto.

 

 10 

 

 

4.9       If the grant of the Security Interest in respect of any contract, lease, agreement to lease, license, permit, approval or intellectual property right would result in the termination or breach of such contract, lease, agreement to lease, license, permit, approval or intellectual property right, then the applicable contract, lease, agreement to lease, license, permit, approval or intellectual property right will not be subject to the Security Interest but will be held in trust by the Debtor for the benefit of the Holder and, on exercise by the Holder of any of its rights under this Agreement following Default, assigned by the Debtor as directed by the Holder.

Article 6
ENFORCEMENT

 

6.1 Enforcement

 

Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Holder will be entitled to exercise any of the remedies specified below:

 

(a)Receiver. The Holder may appoint by instrument in writing one or more receivers, managers or receiver/manager for the Collateral or the business and undertaking of the Debtor pertaining to the Collateral (the “Receiver”). Any such Receiver will have, in addition to any other rights, remedies and powers which a Receiver may have at Law, in equity or by statute, the rights and powers set out in clauses (b) through (d) in this Section 6.1. In exercising such rights and powers, any Receiver will act as and for all purposes will be deemed to be the agent of the Debtor and the Holder will not be responsible for any act or default of any Receiver. The Holder may remove any Receiver and appoint another from time to time. No Receiver appointed by the Holder need be appointed by, nor need its appointment be ratified by, or its actions in any way supervised by, a court.

 

(b)Power of Sale. Any Receiver may sell, consign, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral by public auction, private tender, private contract, lease or deferred payment with or without notice, advertising or any other formality, all of which are hereby waived by the Debtor. Any Receiver may, at its discretion establish the terms of such disposition, including terms and conditions as to credit, upset, reserve bid or price. All payments made pursuant to such dispositions will be credited against the Principal Amount only as they are actually received. Any Receiver may buy in, rescind or vary any contract for the disposition of any Collateral and may dispose of any Collateral without being answerable for any loss occasioned thereby. Any such disposition may take place whether or not the Receiver has taken possession of the Collateral.

 

 12 

 

 

(c)Pay Liens and Borrow Money. Any Receiver may pay any liability secured by any actual or threatened mortgage, pledge, charge, assignment, security interest, hypothec, lien or other encumbrance, including, without limitation, any agreement to give any of the foregoing, or any conditional sale or other title retention agreement (each, a “Lien”) against any Collateral. Any Receiver may borrow money for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any Collateral or for carrying on any of the business or undertaking of the Debtor pertaining to the Collateral and may grant Liens in any Collateral (in priority to the Security Interest or otherwise) as security for the money so borrowed. The Debtor will forthwith upon demand reimburse the Receiver for all such payments and borrowings and such payments and borrowings will be secured hereby and will be added to the money hereby secured and bear interest at the rate set forth on the face page of this Debenture.

 

(d)Dealing with Collateral. Any Receiver may seize, collect, realize, dispose of, enforce, release to third parties or otherwise deal with any Collateral in such manner, upon such terms and conditions and at such time as it deems advisable, including without limitation:

 

(i)to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Collateral;

 

(ii)to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with subsection 6.1(d)(i);

 

(iii)to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Holder may deem to be necessary or desirable for the collection of the Collateral or to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of any contract or any account; and

 

(iv)to perform the affirmative obligations of the Debtor hereunder (including all obligations of the Debtor pursuant to this Debenture).

 

(e)Carry on Business. The Holder or any Receiver may carry on, or concur in the carrying on of, any or all of the business or undertaking of the Debtor and enter on, occupy and use (without charge by the Debtor) any of the premises, buildings, plant and undertaking of, or occupied or used by, the Debtor.

 

(f)Right to Have Court Appoint a Receiver. The Holder may, at any time, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Receiver, or other official, who may have powers the same as, greater or lesser than, or otherwise different from, those capable of being granted to a Receiver appointed by the Holder pursuant to this Debenture.

 

(g)Retention of Collateral. The Holder may elect to retain any Collateral in satisfaction of the Principal Amount. The Holder may designate any part of the Principal Amount to be satisfied by the retention of particular Collateral which the Holder considers to have a net realizable value approximating the amount of the designated part of the Principal Amount, in which case only the designated part of the Principal Amount will be deemed to be satisfied by the retention of the particular Collateral.

 

(h)Limitation of Liability. The Holder will not be liable or accountable for any failure to take possession of, seize, collect, realize, dispose of, enforce or otherwise deal with any Collateral and the Holder will not be bound to institute proceedings for any such purposes or for the purpose of reserving any rights, remedies and powers of the Holder, the Debtor or any other Person in respect of any Collateral. If any Receiver or the Holder takes possession of any Collateral, neither the Holder nor any Receiver will have any liability as a mortgagee in possession or be accountable for anything except actual receipts.

 

 13 

 

 

(i)Extensions of Time. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Holder may grant renewals, extensions of time and other indulgences, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges, and otherwise deal or fail to deal with the Debtor, debtors of the Debtor, guarantors, sureties and others and with any Collateral as the Holder may see fit, all without prejudice to the liability of the Debtor to the Holder or the Holder’s rights, remedies and powers under this Debenture.

 

(j)Validity of Sale. No Person dealing with the Holder or any Receiver, or with any officer, employee, agent or solicitor of the Holder or any Receiver will be concerned to inquire whether the Security Interests have become enforceable, whether the right, remedy or power of the Holder or the Receiver has become exercisable, whether the Principal Amount remaining outstanding or otherwise as to the proprietary or regularity of any dealing by the Holder or the Receiver with any Collateral or to see to the application of any money paid to the Holder or the Receiver, and in the absence of fraud on the part of such Person such dealings will be deemed, as regards such Person, to be within the rights, remedies and powers hereby conferred and to be valid and effective accordingly.

 

(k)Effect of Appointment of Receiver. As soon as the Holder takes possession of any Collateral or appoints a Receiver, all powers, functions, rights and privileges of the Debtor including, without limitation, any such powers, functions, rights and privileges which have been delegated to directors, officers of the Debtor or committees with respect to such Collateral will cease, unless specifically continued by the written consent of the Holder or the Receiver.

 

(l)Time for Payment. If the Holder demands payment of the Principal Amount that is payable on demand or if the Principal Amount is otherwise due by maturity or acceleration, it will be deemed reasonable for the Holder to exercise its remedies immediately if such payment is not made, and any days of grace or any time for payment that might otherwise be required to be afforded to the Debtor at law or in equity is hereby irrevocably waived.

 

(m)No Implied Waiver. The rights of the Holder (whether arising under this Debenture, any other agreement or at law or in equity) will not be capable of being waived or varied otherwise than by an express waiver or variation in writing, and in particular any failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any of such rights will not operate as a waiver or variation of that or any other such right; any defective or partial exercise of any of such rights will not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other such right, and no act or course of conduct or negotiation on the part of the Holder or on its behalf will in any way preclude the Holder from exercising any such right or constitute a suspension or any variation of any such right.

 

(n)Rights Cumulative. The rights, remedies and powers conferred by this Section 5.1 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights, remedies or powers that the Holder may have under this Debenture, at law, in equity, by or under the Personal Property Security Act (Ontario) or by any other statute or agreement. The Holder may proceed by way of any action, suit or other proceeding at law or in equity and no right, remedy or power of the Holder will be exclusive of or dependent on any other. The Holder may exercise any of its rights, remedies or powers separately or in combination and at any time.

 

6.2Application of Amounts Received

 

Subject to Section 4.2, the proceeds of or any other amount from time to time received by the Holder or the Receiver will be applied as follows: first, to the payment in full of all reasonable fees of the Holder and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and his own client substantial indemnity basis) incurred by the Holder and any Receiver or other enforcement agent appointed by the Holder or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, in connection with the collection or enforcement of the Principal Amount owed to the Holder, the enforcement of the Security Interest or the preservation of the Collateral; second, in payment to the Holder of the Principal Amount and other amounts payable hereunder; and third, the balance, if any, will be paid, subject to applicable law, to the Debtor.

 

 14 

 

 

6.3Deliver Possession
