In this regard the Lender has agreed that the extension for the payment of the Loan and Interest will be granted under all circumstances and has agreed to accept such final and maximum number of Bonus Shares as may be approved by the TSXV upon application by the Borrower therefore.";

D.

Thereupon, and should the proposed Redemption Amount in fact represent all of the Loan Amount which would be due and owing by the Borrower to the Lender under this Promissory Note at the Redemption Date, then the Lender will be required to immediately provide to the Borrower all such registerable discharges as may be necessary to relieve the Borrower of any obligation to the Lender under this Promissory Note
