For any meeting of the Company Shareholders (or written consent in lieu of a meeting) for the election of members to the Board of Directors, the Company shall not nominate, in the aggregate, a number of nominees greater than eight (8), including, for greater certainty, the Purchaser Nominee.

(c)          In the event that the Purchaser Nominee is not duly elected to the Board of Directors or ‎shall cease to serve as a director of the Company, whether due to such Purchaser ‎Nominee’s death, disability, resignation or removal (including failure to be elected ‎by the Company Shareholders or being required to resign in accordance with any ‎applicable majority voting policy), the Company shall cause the Board of Directors ‎to appoint a Purchaser Nominee designated by the Purchaser to fill the vacancy so created.‎

(b)          The Purchaser will cause the Purchaser Observer to enter into a ‎confidentiality agreement with the Company in in the form attached hereto as Schedule F, and to ‎agree to be bound by the Company’s policies, including the Company’s insider ‎trading policy.

The Company and/or its Affiliate(s) shall, in good faith, work together with the Purchaser and/or ‎its Affiliate(s) to evaluate cost saving synergies as well as other production efficiencies and shall ‎use best efforts to enter into definitive ‎agreements relating to the Commercial Transactions, to be effective prior to or as of the Closing Time.

The Seller agrees to forbear from taking any actions with respect to the Event of Default arising solely pursuant to Section 9(k) of the Note (the “Permitted Event of Default”) until the Closing Time or, if earlier, ‎the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7.

The form of Exercise Notice (as defined in the Amendment Right) included in the Amendment Right sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Seller in order to exercise the Amendment Right. No legal opinion or other information or instructions, other than as included in the Amendment Right (including the confirmation by the Seller that, as of the date of such exercise and for the period of 90 days prior to such exercise, the Seller is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company) shall be required of the Seller in order to exercise the Amendment Right.

(a)          Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Seller), a register for the Amendment Right in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Amendment Right has been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), and the number of Amendment Right Shares issuable upon exercise of the Amendment Right held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection by the Seller or its legal representatives.

(b)          Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and any subsequent transfer agent in a form acceptable to the Seller (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the name of the Seller or its respective nominee(s), for the Amendment Right Shares issued and delivered to the Seller in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Seller to the Company upon the exercise of the Amendment Right. The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 4.24(a) will be given by the Company to its Transfer Agent with respect to the Amendment Right Shares (other than as described in Section 3.3(4)(ii) hereof) shall be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If the Seller effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Amendment Right Shares, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Seller to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Seller. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 4.25(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 4.25(b) that the Seller shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any fee of the Transfer Agent incurred in connection with this Section 4.25(b) shall be borne by the Company.

Any notice or other communication is deemed to be given and received (i) if sent by personal delivery, same day courier or electronic mail, on the date of delivery if it is a Business Day and the delivery was made prior to 4:00 p.m. (local time in place of receipt) and otherwise on the next Business Day or (ii) if sent by overnight courier, on the next Business Day. A Party may change its address for service from time to time by providing a notice in accordance with the foregoing. Any subsequent notice or other communication must be sent to the Party at its changed address. Any element of a Party’s address that is not specifically changed in a notice will be assumed not to be changed. Sending a copy of a notice or other communication to a Party’s legal counsel as contemplated above is for information purposes only and does not constitute delivery of the notice or other communication to that Party. The failure to send a copy of a notice or other communication to legal counsel does not invalidate delivery of that notice or other communication to a Party.

Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and to enforce compliance with the terms of this Agreement without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties may be entitled at law or in equity.

The representations and warranties of the Company, the Seller and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue (i) indefinitely with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company pursuant to Section 3.1(1), Section 3.1(2), Section 3.1(3), Section 3.1(4), Section 3.1(5) and Section 3.1(6), and (ii) for a period of four years thereafter with respect to all other representations and warranties. All covenants, obligations and agreements contained herein shall survive the Closing and continue in accordance with their terms.

The Parties intend that this Agreement will not benefit or create any right or cause of action in favour of any Person, other than the Parties, and that no Person, other than the Parties, shall be entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement in any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or other forum.

No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver. A Party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

This Agreement, including the Schedules hereto, and the other Transaction Documents, collectively, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties. There are no representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or other agreements, express or implied, collateral, statutory or otherwise, between the Parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. The Parties have not relied and are not relying on any other information, discussion or understanding in entering into and completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

The Parties to this Agreement waive the application of any Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in any agreement or other document shall be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or other document.

Each Party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and ‎performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other ‎agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request ‎in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the ‎consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.‎

The Parties expressly acknowledge that they have requested that this Agreement and all ancillary and related documents thereto be drafted in the English language only. Les parties aux présentes reconnaissent avoir exigé que la présente entente et tous les documents qui y sont accessoires soient rédigés en anglais seulement.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including counterparts by facsimile) and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties shall be entitled to rely upon delivery of an executed facsimile or similar executed electronic copy of this Agreement, and such facsimile or similar executed electronic copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the Parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Parties have executed this Transaction Agreement.

Upon the Purchaser’s receipt of a Blocker Release Notice, the Excess Shares shall be deemed to be owned by the Seller, regardless of the date of actual delivery of such Excess Shares. The Purchaser shall deliver any Excess Shares subject to a Blocker Notice to the Seller (or its designee) no later than the second (2^nd) Trading Day after the date of receipt of such Blocker Release Notice. If the Seller delivers a Blocker Notice to the Purchaser, all conditions to the ‎issuance of the Excess Shares, including the Equity Conditions, shall be deemed ‎to have been satisfied on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Top-Up Date.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, at the Holder’s sole discretion following receipt of a Fundamental Change Notice, in lieu of receiving the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (or any portion thereof), the Holder may, upon written notice to the Company (which may be delivered via email), require the Company to redeem this Note (or any portion of this Note in an Authorized Denomination) in exchange for a number of validly issued, fully paid and Freely Tradable Common Shares equal to the quotient (rounded up to the closest whole number) obtained by dividing the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (or applicable portion thereof) by the Market Stock Payment Price. The Fundamental Change Redemption Date for any Fundamental Change will be a Business Day of the Holder’s choosing that is no more than twenty (20) Business Days after the later of (x) the date the Company delivers to the Holder the related Fundamental Change Notice pursuant to Section 7(C); and (y) the effective date of such Fundamental Change. Any such Common Shares will be delivered by the Company to the Holder on or before the second (2nd) Business Day following a Fundamental Change Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Market Stock Payment Price is lower than the Floor Price on such Fundamental Change Redemption Date, (i) the Floor Price rather than the Market Stock Payment Price shall be used for purpose of calculating the number of Common Shares to be issued on such date pursuant to this Section 7(F) and (ii) the Company shall concurrently with the issuance of such shares also pay to the Holder an amount, in cash, equal to the product of (x) the number of shares by which the Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 7(F) was reduced as a result of the preceding clause (i), multiplied by (y) the Market Stock Payment Price.

(G)         Note Provisions Control. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent of any conflicts or inconsistencies, this Section 7 will apply to the Note in lieu of Article 12 of the Indenture, and such Article 12 of the Indenture will be deemed to be replaced with this Section 7 to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency, mutatis mutandis, and any provisions of Article 12 of the Indenture not specifically addressed or amended by this Section 7 shall continue to apply and control.

Section 8.           Conversion, Pre-Emptive Rights and Top-Up Rights.

(A)         Right to Convert.

(i)          Generally. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, the Holder may, at its option, convert this Note into Conversion Consideration.

(ii)         Conversions in Part. Subject to the terms of this Section 8, this Note may be converted in part, but only in an Authorized Denomination. Provisions of this Section 8 applying to the conversion of this Note in whole will equally apply to conversions of any permitted portion of this Note.

(iii)        The Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any conversion in connection with this Note or the actions or inactions of any party in connection with the conversion of this Note.

(B)         When this Note May Be Converted.

(i)          Generally. The Holder may convert this Note at any time until the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the Maturity Date.

(ii)         Limitations and Closed Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, if this Note (or any portion of this Note) is to be repurchased upon a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 7, then in no event may this Note (or such portion) be converted after the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided, that the limitations contained in this Section 8(B)(ii) shall no longer apply to this Note (or such applicable portion) if the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is not delivered on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date in accordance with Section 6.

(C)         Conversion Procedures.

(i)          Generally. To convert this Note, the Holder must (1) complete, manually sign and deliver to the Company, with a copy to the Trustee (which may be delivered via email), the conversion notice attached to this Note or a portable document format (.pdf) version of such conversion notice (at which time such conversion will become irrevocable); and (2) pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 8(C)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, the conversion notice may be delivered by e-mail in accordance with Section 14. If the Company fails to deliver, by the related Conversion Settlement Date, any Common Shares forming part of the Conversion Consideration of the conversion of this Note, the Holder, by notice to the Company, may rescind all or any portion of the corresponding conversion notice at any time until such Defaulted Shares are delivered.

(ii)         Holder of Record of Conversion Shares. The person in whose name any Common Shares are issuable upon conversion of this Note will be deemed to become the holder of record of such shares as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion, conferring, as of such time, upon such person, without limitation, all voting and other rights appurtenant to such shares.

(iii)        Taxes and Duties. If the Holder converts a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue of any Common Shares upon such conversion; provided, however, that if any tax or duty is due because such Holder requested such shares to be issued in a name other than that of such Holder, then such Holder will pay such tax or duty and, until having received a sum sufficient to pay such tax or duty, the Company may refuse to deliver any such shares to be issued in a name other than that of such Holder.

(D)         Settlement upon Conversion.

(i)          Generally. The consideration (the “Conversion Consideration”) due in respect of each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note to be converted will consist of the following:

(1)         subject to Section 8(D)(iii), a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date for such conversion; and

(2)         cash in an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on this Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Settlement Date for such conversion or, at the election of the Company, a number of validly issued, fully paid and Freely Tradable Common Shares equal to the quotient (rounded up to the closest whole number) obtained by dividing the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on this Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Settlement Date by the Market Stock Payment Price (the “Conversion Consideration Interest Shares”).

(ii)         Company’s Election to Convert Accrued Interest into Common Shares. At least ten (10) Trading Days prior to a Conversion Date, the Company, if it desires to elect to convert accrued and unpaid interest on this Note into Conversion Consideration Interest Shares pursuant to Section 8(D)(i)(2), shall deliver to the Holder, with a copy to the Trustee (which may be delivered via email), a written notice of such election and certifying that the Equity Conditions are satisfied as of such date (a “Conversion Consideration Interest Shares Notice”) (and such election shall be irrevocable with respect to such interest and all subsequent conversions until the Company provides to the Holder at least ten (10) Trading Days written notice of its intent to terminate such election). Failure to timely deliver such written notice to the Holder shall be deemed an election by the Company to pay such accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in cash. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not have the right to, and will not, make any conversion of accrued interest, if any, into Conversion Consideration Interest Shares if the Equity Conditions are not satisfied for each VWAP Trading Day occurring between the day of the delivery of the Conversion Consideration Interest Shares Notice and the applicable Conversion Settlement Date (and the Company shall certify in writing to the Holder on the applicable Conversion Settlement Date that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied during such period), and such conversion of accrued interest, if any, shall instead be paid in cash in accordance with Section 8(D)(i)(2), unless such failure of the Equity Conditions to be so satisfied is waived in writing by the Holder, which waiver may be granted or withheld by the Holder in its sole discretion.

(iii)        Fractional Shares. The total number of Common Shares due in respect of any conversion of this Note will be determined on the basis of the total Principal Amount of this Note to be converted with the same Conversion Date; provided, however, that if such number of Common Shares is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

(iv)        Delivery of the Conversion Consideration. The Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of this Note to the Holder on or before the second (2nd) Business Day (or, if earlier, (x) the standard settlement period for the primary Eligible Exchange on which the Common Shares are traded or (y) the standard settlement period for the TSX) immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion (the “Conversion Settlement Date”).

(v)         Effect of Conversion. If this Note is converted in full, then, from and after the date the Conversion Consideration therefor is issued or delivered in settlement of such conversion, this Note will cease to be outstanding and Default Interest, if any, will cease to accrue on this Note and notice thereof (which may be delivered via email) shall be provided to the Trustee by the Holder.

(vi)        Conversion Settlement Defaults. If (x) the Company fails to deliver, by the related Conversion Settlement Date, any Common Shares (the “Defaulted Shares”) forming part of the Conversion Consideration of the conversion of this Note; and (y) the Holder (whether directly or indirectly, including by any broker acting on the Holder’s behalf or acting with respect to such Defaulted Shares) purchases any Common Shares (whether in the open market or otherwise) to cover any such Defaulted Shares (whether to satisfy any settlement obligations with respect thereto of the Holder or otherwise), then, without limiting the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedy available to it (whether hereunder, under applicable law or otherwise), the Holder will have the right, exercisable by notice to the Company, to cause the Company to either:

(1)         pay, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day after the date such notice is delivered, cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price (including any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket costs) incurred to purchase such shares (such aggregate purchase price, the “Covering Price”); or

(2)         promptly deliver, to the Holder, such Defaulted Shares in accordance with this Note, together with cash in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Covering Price over the product of (x) the number of such Defaulted Shares; and (y) the Daily VWAP per Common Share on the Conversion Date relating to such conversion.

To exercise such right, the Holder must deliver notice of such exercise to the Company, specifying whether the Holder has elected clause (1) or (2) above to apply. If the Holder has elected clause (1) to apply, then the Company’s obligation to deliver the Defaulted Shares in accordance with this Note will be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged to the extent the Company has paid the Covering Price in accordance with clause (1).

(E)         Reserve and Status of Common Shares Issued upon Conversion.

(i)          Stock Reserve. At all times when this Note is outstanding, the Company will reserve, out of its authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Shares, a number of Common Shares equal to the greater of (A) (x) the then outstanding Principal Amount, divided by (y) the Conversion Price then in effect and (B) two hundred percent (200%) of a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (x) the then outstanding Principal Amount plus an amount equal to all interest accruable on such outstanding Principal Amount through May 1, 2023, and the denominator of which shall be (y) the Market Stock Payment Price, for issuance upon the issuance of the Conversion Shares.

(ii)         Status of Conversion Shares; Listing. Each share of Common Shares delivered upon conversion of this Note will be a newly issued or treasury share and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any Lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any Lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the Holder or the Person to whom such share will be delivered). If the Common Shares are then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will cause each share of Common Shares issued upon conversion of this Note, when delivered upon such conversion, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system.

(i)          Transferability of Conversion Shares. Any Common Shares issued upon conversion of this Note will be issued in the form of book-entries at the facilities of DTC, identified therein by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number.

(F)          Forced Conversion.

(i)          Generally. If (1) the Daily VWAP per Common Share is equal to, or exceeds, US$3.00 (as proportionately decreased or increased to reflect any adjustment to the Conversion Rate contemplated in this Note) on each of twenty (20) consecutive VWAP Trading Days beginning after the Issue Date (such twenty (20) consecutive VWAP Trading Day period being the “Forced Conversion Qualification Period”); and (2) the Equity Conditions are satisfied on each of such twenty (20) consecutive VWAP Trading Days, then, subject to the limitations on conversion contained in Section 8(K), the Company may provide written notice to the Holder electing to convert all or a portion of the Principal Amount of this Note on the Conversion Date into Conversion Consideration and certifying that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied on each of such VWAP Trading Days (the “Forced Conversion Notice”); provided that no Forced Conversion will be effected unless (x) the Daily VWAP per Common Share is equal to, or exceeds, US$3.00 (as proportionately decreased or increased to reflect any adjustment to the Conversion Rate contemplated in this Note) and (y) the Equity Conditions are satisfied, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), on each VWAP Trading Day from the date of such notice until the corresponding Conversion Consideration is delivered (and the Company shall certify in writing to the Holder on the date that such Conversion Consideration is delivered that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied during such period); and provided further, that the Company may deliver no more than one Forced Conversion Notice in any thirty (30) Trading Day period.

(ii)         Effect of Forced Conversion. A Forced Conversion will have the same effect as a conversion of the applicable outstanding Principal Amount of this Note effected at the Holder’s election pursuant to Section 8(A) with a Conversion Date occurring on the Business Day referred to in Section 8(F)(i) (for the avoidance of doubt, without the need for the Holder to deliver a conversion notice); provided, however, that the Company will not be obligated to deliver the Conversion Consideration until the Holder has complied, if applicable, with its obligations under Section 8(C)(iii).

(G)         Adjustments to the Conversion Rate.

(i)          Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. Subject to the prior approval of the TSX, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(1)          Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely Common Shares as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Shares, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Shares (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Shares Change Event, as to which Section 8(J) will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where:

If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 8(G)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

(2)          Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which the provisions set forth in Sections 8(G)(i)(3)(a) and 8(G)(v) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Common Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

To the extent that Common Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Common Shares actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants. To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 8(G)(i)(2), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Shares to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Common Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

(3)          Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property.

(a)          Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares, excluding:

(v)         dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 8(G)(i)(1) or Section 8(G)(i)(2);

(w)          dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 8(G)(i)(4);

(x)          rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 8(G)(v);

(y)          Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 8(G)(i)(3)(b); and

(z)          a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Shares Change Event, as to which Section 8(J) will apply,

then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

provided, however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note held by this Holder on the record date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Shares, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(b)          Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares (other than solely pursuant to a Common Shares Change Event, as to which Section 8(J) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 8(G)(i)(3)(b) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period.

To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this Section 8(G)(i)(3)(b) is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(4)          Cash Dividends (Other than in the Ordinary Course) or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note held by the Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Shares, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(5)         Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Shares (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors in good faith) of the cash and other consideration paid per Common Share in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per Common Share on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

provided, however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 8(G)(i)(5), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 8(G)(i)(5) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of the Company being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of Common Shares in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of Common Shares, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.

(ii)         No Adjustments in Certain Cases.

(1)          Where the Holder Participates in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8(G)(i), the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 8(G)(i) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in Section 8(G)(i)(1) or a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section 8(G)(i)(5)) if the Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Shares, and solely by virtue of being the Holder of this Note, in such transaction or event without having to convert this Note and as if the Holder held a number of Common Shares equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the related record date; and (ii) the aggregate Principal Amount (expressed in thousands) of this Note held by this Holder on such date. Any such participation will be subject to the prior approval of the TSX.

(2)          Certain Events. The Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 8(G), Section 8(H) or Section 8(I). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:

(a)          the sale of Common Shares, even if the purchase price is less than the market price per share of the Common Shares or less than the Conversion Price;

(b)          the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Shares under any such plan;

(c)          the issuance of any Common Shares, restricted stock, or options or rights to purchase Common Shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(d)          the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company outstanding as of the Issue Date (other than an adjustment pursuant to Section 8(G)(i)(3)(a) in connection with the separation of rights under the Company’s stockholder rights plan existing, if any, as of the Issue Date);

(e)          solely a change in the par value of the Common Shares; or

(f)           accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on this Note.

(iii)        Adjustments Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if:

(1)          this Note is to be converted;

(2)          the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8(G)(i) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date;

(3)          the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole Common Shares; and

(4)          such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related record date or otherwise),

then, solely for purposes of such conversion, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date. In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date.

(iv)        Conversion Rate Adjustments where the Converting Holder Participates in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if:

(1)          a Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 8(G)(i);

(2)          a Note is to be converted;

(3)          the Conversion Date for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;

(4)          the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole Common Shares based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and

(5)          such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 8(C)(ii)),

then (x) such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion; (y) the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution; and (z) there will be added, to the Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution with respect to such Common Shares had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

(v)         Stockholder Rights Plans. If any Common Shares are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Note upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Shares at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 8(G)(i)(3)(a) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common Shares, subject to readjustment in accordance with such Section if such rights expire, terminate or are redeemed.

(vi)        Limitation on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Adjustments. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event that would (without respect to TSX's right to approve adjustments) require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted (x) pursuant to this Section 8(G) without the prior consent of the Holder, which the Holder may grant or withhold in its sole discretion or (y) pursuant to Section 8(H) or Section 8(I) to an amount that would result in the Conversion Price per Common Share being less than the par value per Common Share.

(vii)       Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever any provision of this Note requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), the Company will make proportionate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8(G)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.

(viii)      Calculation of Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Shares. For purposes of this Section 8(G), the number of Common Shares outstanding at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common Shares; and (ii) exclude Common Shares held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on Common Shares held in its treasury).

(ix)         Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a Common Share (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).

(x)          Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8(G)(i), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holder containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.

(H)         Voluntary Adjustments.

(i)          Generally. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such increase is either (x) in the best interest of the Company; or (y) advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Shares or rights to purchase Common Shares as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Shares or any similar event; and (ii) such increase is irrevocable. The Company and the Holder agree that any such voluntary adjustment to the Conversion Rate and any conversion of any portion of the Note based upon any such voluntary adjustment shall not constitute material non-public information with respect to the Company.

(ii)         Notice of Voluntary Increases. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8(H)(i), then, no later than the first Business Day following such determination, the Company will send notice to the Holder of such increase, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase will be in effect.

(I)          Adjustments to the Conversion Rate in Connection with an Event of Default. If an Event of Default occurs and the Conversion Date for the conversion of a Note occurs during the related Event of Default Conversion Period, then the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion will be increased by a number of shares equal to the Event of Default Additional Shares.

(J)          Effect of Certain Recapitalizations, Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers and Sales.

(i)          Generally. If there occurs:

(1)          recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Shares (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Shares, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);

(2)          consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;

(3)          sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or

(4)          other similar event,

and, in each case, as a result of such occurrence, the Common Shares are converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities or other property (including cash or any combination of the foregoing) (such an event, a “Common Shares Change Event,” and such other securities or other property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Shares would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Shares Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue fractional shares of securities or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, at the effective time of such Common Shares Change Event, (x) the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Note will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of Common Shares in this Section 8 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (y) for purposes of Section 8(A), each reference to any number of Common Shares in such Section (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (z) for purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change,” the term “Common Shares” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity, if any, forming part of such Reference Property. For these purposes, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of common equity securities will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg page for such class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of common equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per Common Share, by the holders of Common Shares. The Company will notify the Holder of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

At or before the effective date of such Common Shares Change Event, the Company and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Shares Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such instruments or agreements that (x) provides for subsequent conversions of this Note in the manner set forth in this Section 8(J); (y) provides for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8(G), Section 8(H) and Section 8(I) in a manner consistent with this Section 8(J); and (z) contains such other provisions as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder and to give effect to the provisions of this Section 8(J). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such instruments or agreements and such instruments or agreements will contain such additional provisions the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder.

(ii)         Notice of Common Shares Change Events. As soon as practicable after learning the anticipated or actual effective date of any Common Shares Change Event, the Company will provide written notice to the Holder of such Common Shares Change Event, including a brief description of such Common Shares Change Event, its anticipated effective date and a brief description of the anticipated change in the conversion right of this Note.

(iii)        Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Common Shares Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 8(J).

(K)         Pre-Emptive Right.

(i)          In connection with any Distribution, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation (the “Pre-Emptive Right”), exercisable in accordance with Section 8(K)(iii), to directly, or indirectly through an Affiliate, subscribe for up to an aggregate number of Distributed Securities, on the same terms and conditions as all other participants in the Distribution (including the same price but, in each case, excluding any underwriting commissions and discounts, to the extent not payable by the Company in relation to the securities issued on the exercise of the Pre-Emptive Right, it being agreed that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such charges not apply to the Holder), mutatis mutandis, determined in accordance with the following formula:

A = B X C

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

(ii)         The Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice in writing, as soon as practicable following a determination by the Company to effect a Distribution and in no event less than 15 Business Days prior to closing of any proposed Distribution (a “Distribution Notice”), which Distribution Notice shall: (a) specify the total number and type of Distributed Securities which are being offered in the Distribution, to the extent known; (b) specify the rights, privileges, restrictions, terms and conditions of such Distributed Securities; (c) specify the price at which the Distributed Securities are being offered in the Distribution and any other material terms, to the extent known; (d) to the extent known, specify the maximum number of Distributed Securities for which the Holder has the right to subscribe pursuant to Section 8(K)(i) and the aggregate subscription price therefor; (e) specify the date (which shall not be less than 15 Business Days after the date on which the Distribution Notice is delivered) on which the Distribution is to be completed; (f) state the reasons for the issuance of the Distributed Securities; and (g) specify the resulting dilution to the Holder if pre-emptive rights are not exercised, to the extent known.

(iii)        The Holder may elect to subscribe for up to such number of Distributable Securities as is calculated under Section 8(K)(i) by delivering a written subscription notice to the Company (the “Pre-Emptive Right Subscription Notice”) within five Business Days after receipt of a Distribution Notice pursuant to Section 8(K)(ii), setting out the number of Distributed Securities for which the Holder and/or its Affiliates wish to subscribe and the aggregate price therefor.

(iv)        In the event that the Company expects to complete the applicable Distribution and the Holder has delivered a Pre-Emptive Right Subscription Notice, no later than two Business Days prior to the expected closing date thereof, the Company shall deliver a written notice to the Holder confirming: (a) the expected closing date thereof; and (b) the number of Distributed Securities allocated to the Holder and the aggregate subscription price therefor. The Holder shall or shall cause, on or prior to the closing date of the Distribution, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company (or as the Company may otherwise direct) a certified cheque, bank draft or wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of the aggregate subscription price for the Distributed Securities allocated to the Holder, and the Company shall issue, or shall cause the issuance of, such Distributed Securities as directed by the Holder to the Holder or an Affiliate of the Holder, concurrently with the closing of the Distribution and in any event no later than 60 days following closing of the Distribution.

(L)         Top-Up Right.

(i)          In connection with any Top-Up Distribution, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation (the “Top-Up Right”), exercisable in accordance with Section 8(L)(iii), to directly, or indirectly through an Affiliate, subscribe for up to an aggregate number of Top Up Distributed Shares on the same terms and conditions as all other participants in the Top-Up Distribution (including for any Top-Up Distribution (other than Designated ELOC Common Shares and/or ATM Shares), at the lower of (A) the same price as utilized in the Top-Up Distribution, and (B) the price at the end of the relevant quarter less the maximum discounted permitted by the rules of the TSX), mutatis mutandis, determined in accordance with the following formula:

A = [B / (1 – C)] – B

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

(ii)         Concurrently with and, in any event, no later than two Business Days following:

(1)          the end of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters; or

(2)          if the Holder's Ownership Percentage is reduced by more than 1% in the aggregate solely as a result of one or more Top-Up Distributions contemplated in Section 8(L)(i) that have been completed since the end of the most recent fiscal quarter, the closing of the most recent Top-Up Distribution; or

(3)          if applicable securities laws (including Canadian Securities Laws) do not permit the exercise in full of the Top-Up Right until the passage of a prescribed period of time, the later of: (i) the time implied by (1) and (2) above; and (ii) 20 Business Days prior to the expiry of such prescribed period of time, as applicable,

the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice (“Top-Up Notice”), which Top-Up Notice shall: (A) specify the total number and type of Top-Up Distributable Securities which were issued in connection with the Top-Up Distribution; (B) specify the rights, privileges, restrictions, terms and conditions of such Top-Up Distributable Securities; (C) specify the price at which such Top-Up Distributable Securities were issued; (D) specify the maximum number of Top-Up Distributable Securities for which the Holder has the right to subscribe pursuant to Section 8(L)(i) and the aggregate subscription price therefor; (E) in the case of a Top-Up Distribution, state with reasonable supporting details the specific clause of the definition of “Top-Up Distribution” hereunder applicable thereto; and (F) specify the resulting dilution to the Holder if top-up rights are not exercised.

(iii)        The Holder shall have the right, exercisable by the Holder within 90 days after receipt of a Top-Up Notice pursuant to Section 8(L)(ii), by delivering a subscription notice to the Company (the “Top-Up Right Subscription Notice”) setting out: (a) the number of Top-Up Distributable Securities for which the Holder and/or its Affiliates wish to subscribe; and (b) the desired closing date for the issuance of such Top-Up Distributable Securities (which date shall not be earlier than five Business Days after receipt by the Company of the Top-Up Right Subscription Notice and not earlier than, if applicable, the passage of the prescribed period of time referenced in Section 8(L)(ii)).

(iv)        On or prior to the desired closing date for the issuance of the Top-Up Distributable Securities set out in the Top-Up Right Subscription Notice, The Holder shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company (or as the Company may otherwise direct) a certified cheque, bank draft or wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of the aggregate subscription price in respect of such Top-Up Distributable Securities, and the Company shall issue, or shall cause the issuance of, such Top-Up Distributable Securities as directed by the Holder to the Holder or an Affiliate of the Holder, on the desired closing date for such issuance as set out in the Top-Up Right Subscription Notice.

(v)         For greater certainty, the provisions of paragraphs (i) to (iv) of this Section 8(L) shall apply to a Top-Up Distribution that is either a distribution or issuance of Designated ELOC Common Shares or ATM Shares, but except for the pricing provisions of paragraph (i), which shall not apply to a Top-Up Distribution that is either a distribution or issuance of Designated ELOC Common Shares or ATM Shares. With respect to any such Top-Up Distribution that is either a distribution or issuance of Designated ELOC Common Shares or ATM Shares, the relevant Top-Up Notice shall, in addition to such other details required to be included therein pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this Section 8(L), also specify the volume weighted average price of all Designated ELOC Common Shares or ATM Shares, as applicable, issued and sold by the Company during its last fiscal quarter and the Holder’s Top-Up Right with respect thereto shall be exercisable at a price per Common Share equal to the foregoing volume weighted average price of all Designated ELOC Common Shares or ATM Shares, as applicable, so issued during the quarter and as so stated in the Top-Up Notice.

(M)         Required Approvals.

(i)          In the event that the approval of the TSX, any governmental authority or other applicable stock exchange on which the Company's Common Shares are then listed, is required in connection with (1) any exercise by the Holder of the Pre-Emptive Right or the Top-Up Right, or (2) any issuance of securities by the Company to the Holder pursuant thereto, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain any such approval as promptly as practicable.

Section 9.           Affirmative and Negative Covenants.

(A)         Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of the Note or may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Holder by this Note, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(ii)         the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

provided, however, that the Company need not preserve or keep in full force and effect any such rights (charter and statutory), license or franchise or existence of any of its Subsidiaries if the Board of Directors determines in good faith that (x) the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and (y) the loss thereof is not, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to the Company; and provided further, that any Subsidiary may merge into, amalgamate or consolidate with any other Subsidiary and any Subsidiary may liquidate or dissolve if all of its property passes to the Company or another Subsidiary.
