20. | Conversion. |
20.1 At any time after the Financing Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note may be converted into Conversion Shares at any time and from time-to-time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Holder.

If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that is 2 calendar days after such Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Company. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion within 10 business days of receipt of such notice.

20.3 Not later than five Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable law and those required by the Subscription Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of Note.

20.5 At any time after the Financing Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note may be converted into Conversion Shares at any time and from time-to-time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company. The Company shall effect conversions by delivering to the Holder written notice of conversion specifying therein the amount of principal to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”);
20.6 Limitations on Conversions by Company. Unless the Holder otherwise directs the Company, the Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to Section 3.1 hereto, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder would beneficially own, for purposes of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") , in excess of 9.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Other Notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3, beneficial ownership pursuant to the Exchange Act shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, except as set forth in the preceding sentence. For purposes of this Section 3 in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported.

4. | EXERCISE OF WARRANTS |
4.1 Method of Exercise of Warrants
The right to purchase shares conferred by the Warrants may be exercised by the Holder surrendering the Warrant Certificate representing same, with a duly completed and executed subscription in the form attached hereto and a bank draft or certified cheque payable to or to the order of the Company, at par, in Fox Island, Washington, for the purchase price applicable at the time of surrender in respect of the shares subscribed for in lawful money of the United States of America, to the Company at the address set forth in, or from time to time specified by the Company pursuant to, Section 3.2.
4.2 Effect of Exercise of Warrants
(a) | Upon surrender and payment as aforesaid the shares so subscribed for will be deemed to have been issued and such person or persons will be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record of such shares on the date of such surrender and payment, and such shares will be issued at the subscription price in effect on the date of such surrender and payment. |
(b) | Within ten business days after surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Company will forthwith cause to be delivered to the person or persons in whose name or names the shares so subscribed for are to be issued as specified in such subscription or mailed to him or them at his or their respective addresses specified in such subscription, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of shares not exceeding those which the Warrant Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant surrendered. |
4.3 Subscription for Less Than Entitlement
The Holder of any Warrant may subscribe for and purchase a number of shares less than the number which he is entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant. In the event of any purchase of a number of shares less than the number which can be purchased pursuant to a Warrant, the Holder thereof upon exercise thereof will in addition be entitled to receive a new Warrant in respect of the balance of the shares which he was entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant and which were not then purchased.
4.4 Warrants for Fractions of Shares
To the extent that the Holder of any Warrant is entitled to receive on the exercise or partial exercise thereof a fraction of a share, such right may be exercised in respect of such fraction only in combination with another Warrant or other Warrants which in the aggregate entitle the Holder to receive a whole number of such shares.
4.5 Expiration of Warrants
After the expiration of the period within which a Warrant is exercisable, all rights thereunder will wholly cease and terminate and such Warrant will be void and of no effect.
4.6 Time of Essence
Time will be of the essence hereof.
- 4 -
4.7 Subscription Price
Each Warrant is exercisable at a price per share (the “Exercise Price”) of US$0.14. One (1) Warrant and the Exercise Price are required to subscribe for each share during the term of the Warrants.
4.8 Adjustment of Exercise Price
(a) | The Exercise Price and the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event and in the manner following: |
(i) | If and whenever the shares at any time outstanding are subdivided into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of shares the Exercise Price will be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may be; upon any such subdivision or consolidation the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be. |
(ii) | In case of any capital reorganization or of any reclassification of the capital of the Company or in the case of the consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other Company (hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Reorganization”), each Warrant will after such Reorganization confer the right to purchase the number of shares or other securities of the Company (or of the Company’s resulting from such Reorganization) which the Warrant Holder would have been entitled to upon Reorganization if the Warrant Holder had been a shareholder at the time of such Reorganization. |
In any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions of this Article Four relating to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holders of the Warrants so that the provisions of this Article Four will be made applicable as nearly as reasonably possible to any shares or other securities deliverable after the Reorganization on the exercise of the Warrants.
The subdivision or consolidation of shares at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares (whether with or without par value) will not be deemed to be a Reorganization for the purposes of this clause 4.8(a)(ii).
(b) | The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.8 are cumulative and will become effective immediately after the record date or, if no record date is fixed, the effective date of the event which results in such adjustments. |
4.9 Determination of Adjustments
If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the Exercise Price or any adjustment provided for in Section 4.8, such questions will be conclusively determined by the Company’s Auditors, or, if they decline to so act any other firm of certified public accountants in the United States of America that the Company may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records and such determination will be binding upon the Company and the Holders of the Warrants.
5. | COVENANTS BY THE COMPANY |
5.1 Reservation of Shares
The Company will reserve and there will remain unissued out of its authorized capital a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the rights of purchase provided for herein and in the Warrants should the Holders of all the Warrants from time to time outstanding determine to exercise such rights in respect of all shares which they are or may be entitled to purchase pursuant thereto and hereto.
