The Notes shall bear interest at 12% per annum from the date of issuance and shall mature on the date that is six months from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date"). The Notes will be convertible, in whole or in part, into common shares (each, a "Common Share") in the capital of the Company at a conversion price (the "Conversion Price") equal to CAD$0.11 per Common Share. The Note holders shall receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Note, paid in cash, up to, but excluding, the earlier of the date of conversion and the Maturity Date.
The Note issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement shall be secured by way of a general security agreement providing security ranking subordinate to the other secured indebtedness of the Company, over all of the present and after-acquired property of the Company.
