Article 2
THE DEBENTURES

2.1

Limit of Debentures

The aggregate principal amount of Debentures authorized to be issued under this Indenture is limited to an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000, and may be issued only upon and subject to the conditions and limitations herein set forth.

-12-

2.2

Form of Debentures

The form of the Debentures is provided for herein. The form of the Debentures shall state that the holder, by acceptance of the Debenture, assents to the terms and conditions upon which the Debentures are issued and held and the rights and remedies of holders of the Debentures and of the Corporation and of the Trustee, all to the same effect as if the provisions of this Indenture were set forth in such Debenture.

2.3

Terms of Debentures

The Debentures authorized for issue immediately shall be designated as “9.0% 2024 Unsecured Convertible Debentures”, and shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)

Date and Interest. The Debentures shall be dated as of the date on which the Debentures are issued by the Corporation pursuant to this Indenture (the “Issuance Date”) and shall bear interest from and including the date of issuance at the rate of 9.0% per annum, payable in equal semi-annual instalments in arrears on June 10, and December 10 in each year, the first such interest payment to fall due on December 10, 2024 (which shall represent interest from May 28, 2024 to, but excluding, December 10, 2024, which will be equal to $48.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures, representing the longer than semi-annual period of time associated with the first interest payment), and the last such interest payment to fall due on May 29, 2029 (which shall represent interest from December 10, 2028 to, but excluding, May 29, 2029, which will be equal to $42.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures, representing the shorter than semi-annual period of time associated with the last interest payment), payable after as well as before maturity and after as well as before default, demand and judgment, with interest on amounts in default at the same rate, compounded semi-annually and calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

(b)

Maturity. The Debentures shall mature on May 29, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”).

(c)

Payment of Interest. Subject to applicable regulatory approval (including the approval of such stock exchange(s) on which the Shares are listed, if applicable) and the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Corporation shall satisfy its Interest Obligation on the Debentures on each Interest Payment Date (including, for greater certainty, following conversion or redemption or on the Maturity Date) by delivering: (i) cash for two-thirds of the Interest Obligation then due (equal to 6% per annum); and (ii) Freely Tradeable Shares for one-third of the Interest Obligation then due (equal to 3% per annum). The Shares to be issued in satisfaction of the Corporation’s Interest Obligation on the Debentures shall be issued at the then Current Market Price. To the extent the Current Market Price is lower than the price required by the policies or rules of any applicable exchange or market, the Shares to be issued in satisfaction of the Corporation’s Interest Obligation on the Debentures shall be issued at the lowest price permitted by such exchange or market. If on the applicable Interest Payment Date the Corporation is not a reporting issuer (or its equivalent) in good standing under Applicable Securities Legislation where the distribution of such Freely Tradeable Shares is to occur and the Shares are not listed on one of the NYSE, TSX, TSX Venture Exchange or NYSE MKT, applicable regulatory approvals (including the approval of such stock exchange(s) on which the Shares are listed, if applicable) required to issue Shares in satisfaction of part of the Corporation’s Interest Obligation or to have such Shares listed on the stock exchange(s) on which the Shares are then listed have not been obtained or the issuance of Shares in satisfaction of part of the Corporation’s Interest Obligation would constitute a “Flip-In Event” (as such term is defined in the Shareholder Rights Plan), or the Corporation reasonably determines that the issuance of a notice in accordance with section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) with respect to the Shares to be issued in satisfaction of the Corporation’s Interest Obligation would require the premature disclosure of material non-public information relating to the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, which the Corporation would not otherwise be required by Applicable Securities Legislation to disclose at such time, and, as a consequence, the Shares issuable in satisfaction of the Corporation’s Interest Obligation on the Debentures would not be Freely Tradeable, then the Corporation shall satisfy its entire Interest Obligation in respect of such Interest Payment Date in cash. If part of the Corporation’s Interest Obligation payable on an Interest Payment Date is to be satisfied in Freely Tradeable Shares, the Corporation shall confirm to the Trustee by the end of the Business Day before the Interest Payment Date by Officer’s Certificate compliance with the above noted conditions for issuance of the Freely Tradeable Shares, and confirm the Current Market Price and the number of Freely Tradeable Shares to be issued in connection with the Interest Payment Date. If part of the Corporation’s Interest Obligation payable on an Interest Payment Date is to be satisfied in Freely Tradeable Shares, the Corporation shall issue or cause to be issued the Freely Tradeable Shares as at the Interest Payment Date, and deliver or cause to be delivered such Shares to the Debentureholders accordingly. If the Corporation shall make payment of interest directly to the Debentureholders, the Corporation shall within one Business Day of the Interest Payment Date after payment has been made, provide confirmation as required above by Officer’s Certificate and also confirm the payments made including details of such payments to the Debentureholders and to the Trustee.

-13-

(d)

Priority. The Debentures will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Corporation and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Corporation.

(e)

Conversion. Upon and subject to the provisions and conditions of Article 5 and subject to applicable regulatory approval (including the approval of such stock exchange(s) on which the Shares are listed, if applicable), the holder of each Debenture shall have the right at such Debentureholder’s option, at any time and from time to time from the Issuance Date of such Debenture to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the earlier of the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date and the Business Day immediately preceding the date specified by the Corporation for redemption or conversion of the Debentures by notice to the holders of Debentures in accordance with Section 2.3(l), Section 2.3(n) or Article 4, as the case may be, (the earlier of which will be the “Time of Expiry” for the purposes of Article 5), to convert the whole or, in the case of a Debenture of a denomination in excess of $1,000, any part which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of the principal amount of such Debenture into that number of Shares equal to the quotient of such principal amount divided by the Conversion Price; provided that the aggregate number of Shares issuable upon the conversion of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures shall not exceed 23,299,161 Shares (the “Maximum Conversion Shares”) without prior approval of such stock exchange(s) on which the Shares are listed, if applicable. The Corporation shall confirm the Conversion Price and the number of Shares to be issued in respect of a conversion on the applicable Date of Conversion by way of Officer’s Certificate.

-14-

(f)

Conversion Price. The Conversion Price in effect on the date hereof for each Share to be issued upon the conversion of Debentures shall be equal to $10.73 per Share. The Conversion Price applicable to the Shares, securities or other property receivable on the conversion of the Debentures is subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4.

(g)

Payment of Principal Amount. On redemption or on maturity of the Debentures, the Corporation shall satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Debentures which are to be redeemed or which have matured in cash.

(h)

Form of Debentures. The Debentures shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 and the Trustee is hereby appointed as registrar and transfer agent for the Debentures. Each Debenture and the certificate of the Trustee endorsed thereon shall be issued in substantially the form set out in Schedule “A”, with such insertions, omissions, substitutions or other variations as shall be required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends or endorsements, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rules or regulations pursuant thereto or with any rules or regulations of any securities exchange or securities regulatory authority or to conform with general usage, all as may be determined by the directors or officers of the Corporation executing such Debenture in accordance with Section 2.5, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of a Debenture. Each Debenture shall additionally bear such distinguishing letters and numbers as the Trustee shall approve. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Debenture may be in such other form or forms as may, from time to time, be approved by a Board Resolution or as specified in an Officer’s Certificate. The Debentures may be engraved, lithographed, printed, mimeographed or typewritten or partly in one form and partly in another, including non-certificated electronic form.

(i)

Private Placement Legends. The Debentures have not been and will not be registered under Applicable Securities Legislation. Each certificate representing the Debentures (and the Shares issuable under the Debentures if issued before the date that is four months and one day after the Issuance Date) and any replacement certificate issued prior to the expiration of the applicable hold period or ownership statements issued under a direct registration system or other electronic book-entry system shall bear, as of the Issuance Date, a legend substantially in the following form:

-15-

“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE <INSERT DATE THAT IS FOUR (4) MONTHS AND ONE (1) DAY AFTER THE ISSUANCE DATE>.”

In addition, each certificate representing the Shares issuable under the Debentures and any replacement certificate, or ownership statements issued under a direct registration or other electronic book-entry system, shall bear any legend required by the TSX or otherwise required under Applicable Securities Legislation.

The Trustee shall be entitled to request any other documents that it may require in accordance with its internal policies for any legend removal that may be required.

(j)

Certificated Debentures. The Debentures shall be issued in definitive certificated form.

(k)

Redemption at the Option of the Corporation. The Debentures shall be redeemable by the Corporation in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3(k) and Article 4, provided that the Debentures will not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to May 28, 2027, except in the event of the satisfaction of certain conditions after a Change of Control has occurred as outlined in Section 2.3(l) or upon request of the Debentureholders pursuant to Section 2.3(m). From May 28, 2027 and prior to the Maturity Date, the Debentures shall be redeemable, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at the option of the Corporation on notice as provided for in Section 4.3 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest up to and excluding the Redemption Date, provided that the Current Market Price on the date immediately prior to the date the Redemption Notice is given exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price and the Corporation shall have provided to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate confirming such Current Market Price (and the applicable Exchange Rate, if any, used in determining the Current Market Price).

(l)

Corporation Redemption Right upon a Change of Control. Upon the completion of a Change of Control and subject to the provisions and conditions of this Section 2.3(l), the Corporation has a right to redeem all of the Debentures. The terms and conditions of such right are set forth below:

(i)

Upon the completion of a Change of Control, the Corporation has the right (the “Change of Control Redemption Right”) (but not the obligation) to redeem, on the date which is not later than 30 days following the date upon which the Trustee delivers a Change of Control Notice (as defined below) to the holders of all Debentures (the “Change of Control Redemption Date”), all (and not less than all) of such holders’ Debentures in cash at a price equal to (A) if the Change of Control occurred on or prior to May 28, 2027, 130% of the principal amount thereof and (B) if the Change of Control occurred after May 28, 2027, 115% of the principal amount thereof (in the case of (A) or (B), the “Change of Control Redemption Price”) plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Debentures up to, but excluding, the Change of Control Redemption Date (collectively, the “Total Change of Control Redemption Price”).

-16-

(ii)

The Corporation will, as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than five Business Days after the completion of a Change of Control, give written notice to the Trustee of the Change of Control (“Change of Control Notice”). The Trustee will, as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event no later than two Business Days after receiving the Change of Control Notice, provide the same to the holders of Debentures. The Change of Control Notice shall include a statement that there has been a Change of Control and the following: (A) the date on which such Change of Control occurred, (B) the circumstances or events giving rise to such Change of Control, (C) a statement that the Corporation is exercising the Change of Control Redemption Right, or a statement that the Corporation has decided not to exercise the Change of Control Redemption Right, and (D) if the Corporation is exercising the Change of Control Redemption Right, the Change of Control Redemption Date and the Total Change of Control Redemption Price.

(iii)

The Corporation shall, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the Change of Control Redemption Date, deposit with the Trustee or any paying agent to the order of the Trustee, such sums of money as may be sufficient to pay the Total Change of Control Redemption Price of the Debentures to be redeemed by the Corporation on the Change of Control Redemption Date. The Corporation shall satisfy this requirement by providing the Trustee or paying agent with a wire transfer for such amounts required under this Section 2.3(l)(iii). To the extent requested by the Trustee, the Corporation shall also deposit with the Trustee a sum of money sufficient to pay any charges or expenses which may be reasonably incurred by the Trustee in connection with such redemption. Every such deposit shall be irrevocable. From the sums so deposited, the Trustee shall pay or cause to be paid to the holders of such Debentures, the Total Change of Control Redemption Price to which they are entitled on the Corporation’s redemption. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating the amount owing but shall be entitled to rely on the Written Direction of the Corporation specifying the payments to be made.

(iv)

Debentures which the Corporation has elected to redeem in accordance with the Change of Control Redemption Right shall become due and payable at the Total Change of Control Redemption Price on the Change of Control Redemption Date, in the same manner and with the same effect as if it were the date of maturity specified in such Debentures, anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and from and after such Change of Control Redemption Date, if the money necessary to redeem the Debentures shall have been deposited as provided in this Section 2.3(l) and affidavits or other proofs satisfactory to the Trustee as to the mailing of such notices shall have been lodged with it, interest on the Debentures shall cease. If any question shall arise as to whether any notice has been given as above provided and such deposit made, such question shall be decided by the Trustee whose decision shall be final and binding upon all parties.

-17-

(v)

In case the holder of any Debenture to be redeemed in accordance with this Section 2.3(l) shall fail on or before the Change of Control Redemption Date to surrender such holder’s Debenture or shall not within such time accept payment of the monies payable, or give such receipt therefor, if any, as the Trustee may require, such monies or Shares payable pursuant to Section 2.3(c) may be set aside in trust without interest, either in the deposit department of the Trustee or in a chartered bank (which may, but need not be, an Affiliate of the Trustee) or, with respect to Shares, held in a book position by the Trustee, or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and Trustee, and such setting aside shall for all purposes be deemed a payment to the holder of such Debenture of the sum so set aside and, to that extent, the Debenture shall thereafter not be considered as outstanding hereunder and the holder of such Debenture shall have no other right except to receive payment out of the monies so paid and deposited upon surrender and delivery of such holder’s Debentures, of the Total Change of Control Redemption Price applicable to such Debenture. In the event that any monies or Shares required to be deposited hereunder with the Trustee or any depository or paying agent on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on Debentures issued hereunder shall remain so deposited for a period of six years from the Change of Control Redemption Date, then, subject to any applicable law regarding unclaimed property, such monies or Shares shall at the end of such period, upon the written request of the Corporation, be paid over or delivered over by the Trustee or such depository or paying agent to the Corporation, and thereupon the Trustee shall not be responsible to Debentureholders for any amounts owing to them, shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies or Shares, and, subject to applicable law, thereafter the holder of such Debenture in respect of which such monies or Shares was so repaid to the Corporation shall have no rights in respect thereof except to obtain payment of the monies due from the Corporation, subject to any limitation period provided by the laws of British Columbia.

Upon the completion of a Change of Control pursuant to paragraphs (i), (ii) or (iv) of such definition and a Change of Management, but without any requirement that such Change of Control pursuant to paragraphs (i), (ii) or (iv) of such definition and such Change of Management occur contemporaneously, each holder of Debentures shall have the right (the “Put Right”) to require the Corporation to redeem, on the date which is not later than 30 days following the date upon which the Trustee delivers a Change of Control Notice to the holders of Debentures (the “Put Date”) pursuant to Section 2.3(l)(ii) above, all or any part of such holder’s Debentures in cash at a price equal to (A) if the Change of Control occurred on or prior to May 28, 2027, 130% of the principal amount thereof and (B) if the Change of Control occurred after May 28, 2027, 115% of the principal amount thereof (in the case of (A) or (B), the “Put Price”) plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Debentures up to, but excluding, the Put Date (collectively, the “Total Put Price”), provided that the Change of Control Notice indicates that the Corporation has decided to not exercise the Change of Control Redemption Right.

(ii)

To exercise the Put Right, the holder of Debentures must deliver to the Trustee, not less than five Business Days prior to the Put Date, written notice of the holder’s exercise of such right in the form attached as Schedule “D”, together with the Debentures with respect to which the right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer.

(iii)

The Corporation shall, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the Put Date, deposit with the Trustee or any paying agent to the order of the Trustee, such sums of money and Shares required pursuant to Section 2.3(c), as may be sufficient to pay the Total Put Price of the Debentures to be purchased by the Corporation on the Put Date. The Corporation shall satisfy this requirement by providing the Trustee or paying agent with a wire transfer for such amounts required under this Section 2.3(m)(iii). To the extent requested by the Trustee, the Corporation shall also deposit with the Trustee a sum of money sufficient to pay any charges or expenses which may be reasonably incurred by the Trustee in connection with such purchase. Every such deposit shall be irrevocable. From the sums so deposited, the Trustee shall pay or cause to be paid to the holders of such Debentures, the Total Put Price to which they are entitled on the Corporation’s purchase. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating the amount owing but shall be entitled to rely on the Written Direction of the Corporation specifying the payments to be made.

-19-

(iv)

In the event that one or more of such Debentures being purchased in accordance with this Section 2.3(m) becomes subject to purchase in part only, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Trustee shall certify and deliver to the holder, without charge to such holder, a certificate (if applicable) or such other evidence of ownership representing the principal amount of the Debenture not purchased.

(v)

Debentures for which holders have exercised the Put Right shall become due and payable at the Total Put Price on the Put Date, in the same manner and with the same effect as if it were the date of maturity specified in such Debentures, anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and from and after such Put Date, if the money and the Shares necessary to purchase the Debentures shall have been deposited as provided in this Section 2.3(m) and affidavits or other proofs satisfactory to the Trustee as to the mailing of such notices shall have been lodged with it, interest on the Debentures shall cease. If any question shall arise as to whether any notice has been given as above provided and such deposit made, such question shall be decided by the Trustee whose decision shall be final and binding upon all parties.

(vi)

In case the holder of any Debenture to be purchased in accordance with this Section 2.3(m) shall fail on or before the Put Date to surrender such holder’s Debenture or shall not within such time accept payment of the monies and Shares payable, or give such receipt therefor, if any, as the Trustee may require, such monies may be set aside in trust without interest, either in the deposit department of the Trustee or in a chartered bank (which may, but need not be, an Affiliate of the Trustee) or, with respect to Shares, held in a book position by the Trustee, or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and Trustee, and such setting aside shall for all purposes be deemed a payment to the holder of such Debenture of the sum so set aside and, to that extent, the Debenture shall thereafter not be considered as outstanding hereunder and the holder of such Debenture shall have no other right except to receive payment out of the monies or Shares so paid and deposited upon surrender and delivery of such holder’s Debentures, of the Total Put Price applicable to such Debenture. In the event that any monies required to be deposited hereunder with the Trustee or any depository or paying agent on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on Debentures issued hereunder shall remain so deposited for a period of six years from the Put Date, then, subject to any applicable law regarding unclaimed property, such monies or Shares shall at the end of such period, upon the written request of the Corporation, be paid over or delivered over by the Trustee or such depository or paying agent to the Corporation, and thereupon the Trustee shall not be responsible to Debentureholders for any amounts owing to them, shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies or Shares, and, subject to applicable law, thereafter the holder of such Debenture in respect of which such monies was so repaid to the Corporation shall have no rights in respect thereof except to obtain payment of the monies or Shares due from the Corporation, subject to any limitation period provided by the laws of British Columbia.

-20-

(vii)

Subject to the provisions above related to Debentures purchased in part, all Debentures paid under this Section 2.3(m) shall forthwith be delivered to the Trustee and cancelled and no Debentures shall be issued in substitution therefor.

(viii)

The Corporation will comply with all Applicable Securities Legislation if the Corporation is required to repurchase Debentures pursuant to this Section 2.3(m).

(n)

Conditional Early Conversion Upon Announcement of Change of Control. From and after the announcement by the Corporation of a Change of Control that is recommended by the directors of the Corporation, and subject to the provisions and conditions of this Section 2.3(n), the Corporation shall have a right (the “Early Conversion Right”) to require the holders of Debentures to convert some or the whole or, in the case of a Debenture of a denomination in excess of $1,000, any part which is $1,000 or a multiple thereof, of the principal amount of such Debenture into Shares at the Conversion Price. The terms and conditions of such right are set forth below:

The conversion of Debentures pursuant to the Early Conversion Right shall be conditional upon completion of the Change of Control, and will be null and void if the Change of Control does not occur.

(iii)

Each holder of Debentures may elect, in its sole discretion, to not have the Debentures then held by such holder converted pursuant to the Early Conversion Right if the consideration to be received per Share upon completion of the Change of Control consists, in whole or in part, of property or securities, by delivering to the Trustee, no later than the close of business on the fifth Business Day after the date on which the Trustee mails pursuant to Section 13.2 the Early Conversion Notice (as defined below), an electronic mail transmission or a letter setting forth the name of such registered holder, the principal amount of the Debentures held by such holder and a statement that such holder has elected to not have the Debentures held by such holder converted pursuant to the Early Conversion Right. Upon receipt of such electronic mail transmission or letter from a holder of Debentures as noted above, the Trustee will promptly notify the Corporation in writing that it has received same, including a copy of mail transmission or letter thereof.

-21-

(iv)

The Corporation will, as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than two Business Days after the announcement of a Change of Control that has been publicly recommended by the Board of Directors and for which the Board has determined to exercise the Early Conversion Right, give written notice to the Trustee of the pending Change of Control (the “Early Conversion Notice”). The Trustee will, as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event no later than two Business Days after receipt of the Early Conversion Notice, provide the Early Conversion Notice to the holders of Debentures by mail pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof. The Early Conversion Notice shall be prepared by the Corporation and shall include (A) a description of the pending Change of Control, including the price to be paid for each Share in the Change of Control and the form of consideration such price will take; (B) a statement of the Corporation’s intention to exercise the Early Conversion Right, including confirmation of compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(n)(i) above; (C) the Conversion Price then in effect; (D) a statement that informs the holders of Debentures of their right to elect, in their sole discretion, to not have the Debentures converted pursuant to the Early Conversion Right by providing the notice to the Trustee called for in subsection (iii) above in the event the amount to be received by holders of the Debentures is payable, in whole or in part, in property or securities; and (E) a statement that the conversion pursuant to the Early Conversion Right is conditional upon the completion of the Change of Control and if such Change of Control is not completed, such Debentures will remain outstanding.

(v)

To the extent applicable, paragraphs 5.2, 5.3, 5.5. and 5.7 of this Indenture shall apply mutatis mutandis to the exercise by the Corporation of the Early Conversion Right.

2.4

Certification and Delivery of Debentures

The Corporation may from time to time request the Trustee to certify and deliver the Debentures by delivering to the Trustee the documents referred to below in this Section 2.4 whereupon the Trustee shall certify the Debentures and cause the same to be delivered in accordance with the Written Direction of the Corporation referred to below. In certifying the Debentures, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying and acting upon:

(a)

a Written Direction of the Corporation requesting certification and delivery of the Debentures and setting forth delivery instructions;

(b)

an opinion of Counsel to the Corporation addressed to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, acting reasonably, to the effect that all requirements imposed by this Indenture or by law in connection with the issue of the Debentures have been complied with, subject to the delivery of certain documents or instruments specified in such opinion; and

(c)

an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Corporation is not in default under this Indenture, that the terms and conditions for the certification and delivery of the Debentures (including those set forth in Section 14.4), have been complied with subject to the delivery of any documents or instruments specified in such Officer’s Certificate and that no Event of Default exists or will exist upon such certification and delivery.

2.5

Execution of Debentures

All Debentures shall be signed (either manually, by facsimile signature, scanned or other electronic copy) by any one authorized director or officer of the Corporation, holding office at the time of signing. A facsimile, scanned or other electronic signature upon a Debenture shall for all purposes of this Indenture be deemed to be the signature of the person whose signature it purports to be. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature, either manual or in facsimile, scan or other electronic form appears on a Debenture as a director or officer may no longer hold such office at the date of the Debenture or at the date of the certification and delivery thereof, such Debenture shall be valid and binding upon the Corporation and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

2.6

Certification

(a)

No Debenture shall be issued or, if issued, shall be obligatory or shall entitle the holder to the benefits of this Indenture, until it has been certified by or on behalf of the Trustee substantially in the form set out in this Indenture, in the relevant supplemental indenture, or in some other form approved by the Trustee. Such certification on any Debenture shall be conclusive evidence that such Debenture is duly issued, is a valid obligation of the Corporation and the holder is entitled to the benefits hereof.

-23-

(b)

The certificate of the Trustee signed on the Debentures shall not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Trustee as to the validity of this Indenture or of the Debentures or as to the issuance of the Debentures and the Trustee shall in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of the Debentures or any of them or the proceeds thereof. The certificate of the Trustee signed on the Debentures shall, however, be a representation and warranty by the Trustee that the Debentures have been duly certified by or on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture.

2.7

Mutilation, Loss, Theft or Destruction

In case any of the Debentures issued hereunder shall become mutilated or be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation, in its discretion, may issue, and thereupon the Trustee shall certify and deliver, a new Debenture upon surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Debenture, or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Debenture, in lieu of and in substitution for the same, and the substituted Debenture shall be in a form approved by the Trustee and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Debentures issued or to be issued hereunder. In case of loss, theft or destruction the applicant for a substituted Debenture shall furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustee such evidence of the loss, theft or destruction of the Debenture as shall be satisfactory to them in their discretion and shall also furnish an indemnity and surety bond satisfactory to them in their discretion along with any other documents that might be required by the Trustee. The applicant shall pay all reasonable expenses incidental to the issuance of any substituted Debenture.

2.8

Concerning Interest

(a)

All Debentures issued hereunder, whether originally or upon exchange or in substitution for previously issued Debentures which are interest bearing, shall bear interest (i) from and including their issue date, or (ii) from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment on the outstanding Debentures, whichever shall be the later, to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date.

(b)

Interest for any period of less than six months shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months (the “deemed year”). Whenever interest is computed on the basis of the deemed year, interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

2.9

Payments of Amounts Due on Maturity

Payments of amounts due upon maturity of the Debentures will be made in the following manner. The Corporation will establish and maintain with the Trustee a Maturity Account for the Debentures. Such Maturity Account shall be maintained by and be subject to the control of the Trustee for the purposes of this Indenture. On or before 11:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date, the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee funds for deposit in the applicable Maturity Account in an amount sufficient to pay the cash amount payable in respect of such Debentures and the Shares pursuant to Section 2.3(c) (including the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon). The Trustee, on behalf of the Corporation, will pay to each holder entitled to receive payment the principal amount of and premium (if any) and accrued and unpaid interest on the Debenture upon surrender of the Debenture at any branch of the Trustee designated for such purpose from time to time by the Corporation and the Trustee. The delivery of such funds to the Trustee for deposit or the making available or such amounts to the applicable Maturity Account and delivery of Shares as noted above will satisfy and discharge the liability of the Corporation for the Debentures to which the delivery of funds relates to the extent of the amount deposited or made available and such Debentures will thereafter to that extent not be considered as outstanding under this Indenture and such holder will have no other right in regard thereto other than to receive out of the money and Shares so deposited or made available the amount to which it is entitled.

-24-

2.10

Payment of Interest

The following provisions shall apply to Debentures, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture or a supplemental indenture relating to the Debentures:

(a)

As interest becomes due on each Debenture (except on conversion, at maturity or on redemption, when interest may at the option of the Corporation be paid upon surrender of such Debenture) the Corporation, either directly (which shall be confirmed by the Corporation by Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Section 2.3(c)), or through the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, shall send or forward a cheque by prepaid ordinary mail, wire, electronic transfer of funds or such other means as may be agreed to by the Trustee, in accordance with those wire or other payment instructions provided by the applicable Debentureholder to the Corporation and the Trustee in writing from time to time, and, if applicable, deliver the Shares, pursuant to Section 2.3(c), in payment of such interest to the order of the registered holder of such Debenture appearing on the registers maintained by the Trustee as at the close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date and addressed to the holder at the holder’s last address appearing on the register (or in the case of joint holders, to such address of one of the joint holders), unless such holder otherwise directs in writing to the Trustee in advance. If cash payment is made by cheque, such cheque shall be forwarded at least three days prior to the Interest Payment Date and if payment is made by other means, such as wire or electronic transfer of funds, such payment shall be made in a manner whereby the holder receives credit for such payment on the Interest Payment Date. If payment is made through the Trustee, at least on or before 11:00 am (Vancouver time) one Business Day prior to each Interest Payment Date or prior to the date of mailing the cheques for the interest due on an Interest Payment Date, whichever is earlier, the Corporation shall deliver sufficient funds to the Trustee by wire transfer or make such other arrangements for the provision of funds as may be agreeable between the Trustee and the Corporation in order to effect such interest payment hereunder. The Trustee shall disburse such interest payments only upon receiving, at least one Business Day prior to each such date, funds in an amount sufficient for the interest payment. The mailing of such cheque or the making of such payment by other means shall, to the extent of the sum represented thereby, satisfy and discharge all liability for interest on such Debenture, unless in the case of payment by cheque, such cheque is not paid at par on presentation. In the event of non-receipt of any cheque for or other payment of interest by the person to whom it is so sent as aforesaid, the Corporation will issue to such person a replacement cheque or other payment for a like amount upon being furnished with such evidence of non-receipt as it shall reasonably require and upon being indemnified to its satisfaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation is prevented by circumstances beyond its control (including, without limitation, any interruption in mail service) from making payment of any interest due on each Debenture in the manner provided above, the Corporation may make payment of such interest or make such interest available for payment in any other manner acceptable to the Trustee with the same effect as though payment had been made in the manner provided above.

-25-

(b)

The Trustee shall have no obligation to disburse funds pursuant to this Section 2.10 unless it has received written confirmation satisfactory to it that the funds have been deposited with it in sufficient amount to pay in full all amounts due and payable with respect to such Interest Payment Date. The Trustee shall, if any funds are received by it in the form of uncertified cheques, be entitled to delay the time for release of such funds until such uncertified cheques shall be determined to have cleared the financial institution upon which the same are drawn.

2.11

Payment of Additional Amounts

(a)

All payments by the Corporation in respect of the Debentures (including the conversion thereof and including the issuance of Freely Tradeable Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.3(c) for interest payments or otherwise) will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction, unless such withholding or deduction is so required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant Governmental Authority. If any such withholding or deduction is so required, the Corporation will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder of Debentures after such withholding or deduction (including any withholding or deduction required to be made in respect of Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount the holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted. If any such withholding or deduction is not so required, or if required, is not made, and a holder of a Debenture who is a non-resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act is required to pay directly any Taxes imposed, levied, collected or assessed by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction, then, upon written request of such holder and provided that reasonable supporting documentation is provided, the Corporation will pay such additional amounts (the term “Additional Amounts” shall also include any such additional amounts) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each such holder of Debentures after payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes required to be paid in respect of such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount the holder would have received if such Taxes had not been imposed, levied, collected or assessed; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a Debentureholder for or in respect of:

-26-

(i)

Taxes that would not have been imposed:

(A)

but for the existence of any present or former connection between the holder or Beneficial Owner of Debentures and the jurisdiction imposing such tax (including without limitation, by virtue of the holder or Beneficial Owner carrying on a business or having a place of business in such jurisdiction), other than merely holding or ownership of such Debenture; or

(B)

if the Debentures are held in definitive registered form (“Definitive Registered Debentures”) and the presentation of Definitive Registered Debentures (where presentation is required) for payment had occurred within 30 days after the date such payment was due and payable or was provided for, whichever is later, except for Additional Amounts with respect to Taxes that would have been imposed had the holder presented the Debenture for payment within such 30-day period; or

(C)

but for the holder or Beneficial Owner not dealing at arm’s length, within the meaning of the Tax Act, with the Corporation at the relevant time (other than merely as a result of purchasing and holding a Debenture);

(ii)

any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Tax; or

(iii)

any Taxes, deduction or withholding imposed by reason of the failure of the holder or Beneficial Owner of a Debenture to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements if such compliance is required or imposed by a statute, treaty or regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from or reduction in all or part of such Taxes, deduction or withholding.

(b)

If any such withholding or deduction is so required, the Corporation will (i) make such withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. The Corporation will make reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from the relevant taxing authority. The Corporation will furnish to the holders of the Debentures, within 60 days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law or the interpretation or administration thereof, either certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments.

-27-

(c)

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Debentures is due and payable, if the Corporation will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the paying agent to pay such Additional Amounts to the holders on the payment date. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal of, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Debenture, such mention will be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(d)

The Corporation will pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary, value added or other similar Taxes and other duties (including interest and penalties) payable in Canada (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof), in respect of the creation, issue, offering, execution or enforcement of the Debentures, or any documentation with respect thereto.

(e)

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the covenants and provisions of this 2.11 shall survive any termination or discharge of this Indenture, and the repayment or conversion of all or any of the Debentures, and shall remain in full force and effect.

(f)

If the Corporation fails to make any payment required by this 2.11, the Trustee shall in no circumstances have any responsibility, duty, or be required, to make any such payment.

(g)

In accordance with this Indenture, the Corporation will be entitled to cause the Trustee to deduct and withhold any applicable Taxes or similar charges (including interest, penalties or similar amounts in respect thereof) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any government including the Canadian government, or of any province or territory thereof, or any authority or agency therein or thereof, having power to tax, from any payment to be made on or in connection with the Debentures (including, for greater certainty, the issuance of Freely Tradeable Shares upon any conversion of Debentures and in respect of an Interest Obligation), provided that the Corporation forthwith remits or causes the Trustee to remit such withheld amount to such government, authority or agency and files all required forms in respect thereof and, at the same time, provides copies of such remittance and filing to the Trustee and the relevant holder of Debentures, the amount of any such deduction or withholding will be considered an amount paid in satisfaction of the Corporation’s obligations under the Debentures. However, the Corporation shall satisfy all of its obligations pursuant to Section 2.11(a) to gross-up amounts paid to a holder in respect of such deductions or withholdings. The Trustee when acting as paying agent shall itself make such remittances, deductions and filings directly to the governmental authorities and shall act as the agent of the Corporation. The Corporation shall provide tax advice/opinion and directions to the Trustee concerning its obligations to make such deductions, remittances and tax filings and the Trustee may rely on such tax advice/opinion and directions and to be indemnified for such reliance.

-28-

(h)

The Trustee shall have no obligation to verify any payments or any provision of federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax law. The Trustee shall at all times be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation from and against any liabilities the Trustee incurred in connection with the failure of the Corporation or its agents, to report, remit or withhold taxes as required by any provision of federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, or otherwise failing to comply with any provision of federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax law. This indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of any person acting as the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture solely to the extent that such liabilities have been incurred in connection with taxation years occurring during the term of this Indenture.

Such registration shall be noted on the Debentures by the Trustee or other registrar unless a new Debenture shall be issued upon such transfer.

(b)

No transfer of a Debenture shall be valid unless made on such register referred to in Section 3.2(a) and in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Indenture, by the registered holder or such holder’s executors, administrators or other legal representatives or an attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Trustee or other registrar upon surrender of the Debentures together with a duly executed form of transfer in the form attached as “Assignment - Schedule I” thereto, or in a form acceptable to the Trustee and Corporation upon compliance with such other reasonable requirements as the Trustee or other registrar or Corporation may prescribe, and unless the name of the transferee shall have been noted on the Debenture by the Trustee or other registrar.

Transferee Entitled to Registration

The transferee of a Debenture shall be entitled, after the appropriate form of transfer is lodged with the Trustee or other registrar and upon compliance with all other conditions in that behalf required by this Indenture or by law, to be entered on the register as the owner of such Debenture free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the transferor or any previous holder of such Debenture, save in respect of equities of which the Corporation is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, in processing and registering transfers of Debentures, no duty or responsibility whatsoever shall rest upon the Trustee to determine the compliance by any transferor or transferee with Applicable Securities Legislation, including, without limitation, Regulation S under the US Securities Act, and the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that all transfers are legal and proper.

3.6

In addition to the procedures set out in the sections referred to above, the following procedures will apply.

-32-

4.2

Partial Redemption

If less than all the Debentures for the time being outstanding are at any time to be redeemed, the Corporation shall, at least 15 days before the date upon which the Redemption Notice is to be given, notify the Trustee by a Written Direction of the Corporation of its intention to redeem such Debentures and of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed. The Debentures to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee (i) on a pro rata basis to the nearest multiple of $1,000 in accordance with the principal amount of the Debentures registered in the name of each holder, or (ii) to the extent such pro rata allocation is not possible, by lot in such manner as the Trustee deems equitable, subject to any required approval of the exchange or market on which the Debentures are then listed, as may be required from time to time. No Debenture shall be redeemed in part unless the principal amount redeemed is $1,000 or a multiple thereof. For this purpose, the Trustee may make, and from time to time vary, regulations with respect to the manner in which such Debentures may be drawn for redemption and regulations so made shall be valid and binding upon all holders of such Debentures notwithstanding the fact that as a result thereof one or more of such Debentures may become subject to redemption in part only. In the event that one or more of such Debentures becomes subject to redemption in part only, upon surrender of any such Debentures for payment of the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued but unpaid to but excluding the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall certify and deliver without charge to the holder thereof or upon the holder’s order one or more new Debentures for the unredeemed part of the principal amount of the Debenture or Debentures so surrendered.

4.3

Notice of Redemption

Written notice of redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) of Debentures shall be given to the Trustee and the holders of the Debentures to be redeemed at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”) in the manner provided in Section 13.2. Every such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Debentures called for redemption, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, any right of the holders to convert such Debentures and the places of payment and shall state that interest upon the principal amount of Debentures called for redemption shall cease to accrue and be payable from and after the Redemption Date. In addition, unless all the outstanding Debentures are to be redeemed, and subject to Section 4.2, the Redemption Notice shall specify:

(a)

the distinguishing letters and numbers of the Debentures which are to be redeemed (or of such thereof as are registered in the name of such Debentureholder); and

(b)

in all cases, the principal amounts of such Debentures or, if any such Debenture is to be redeemed in part only, the principal amount of such part.

-33-

4.4

Debentures Due on Redemption Dates

Upon notice having been given as aforesaid, all the Debentures so called for redemption shall thereupon be and become due and payable at the Redemption Price, together with accrued but unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date, on the Redemption Date specified in such notice, in the same manner and with the same effect as if it were the date of maturity specified in such Debentures, anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and from and after such Redemption Date, if the monies necessary to redeem such Debentures shall have been deposited as provided in Section 4.5 and affidavits or other proof satisfactory to the Trustee as to the mailing of such notices shall have been lodged with it, interest upon the Debentures shall cease. If any question shall arise as to whether any notice has been given as above provided and such deposit made, such question shall be decided by the Trustee whose decision shall be final and binding upon all parties in interest.

4.5

Deposit of Redemption Monies

Redemption of Debentures shall be provided for by the Corporation depositing with the Trustee or any paying agent to the order of the Trustee, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the Redemption Date specified in the applicable Redemption Notice, such sums of money as may be sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Debentures so called for redemption, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon up to but excluding the Redemption Date. The Corporation shall also deliver or cause to be delivered the Shares pursuant to Section 2.3(c). At the request of the Trustee, the Corporation shall also deposit with the Trustee, by wire transfer a sum of money sufficient to pay any charges or expenses which may be reasonably incurred by the Trustee in connection with such redemption. Every such deposit shall be irrevocable. From the sums so deposited the Trustee shall pay or cause to be paid to the holders of such Debentures so called for redemption, upon surrender of such Debentures, the principal, premium (if any) and interest (if any) to which they are respectively entitled on redemption.

4.6

Failure to Surrender Debentures Called for Redemption

In case the holder of any Debenture so called for redemption shall fail on or before the Redemption Date to surrender such holder’s Debenture, or shall not within such time accept payment of the Redemption Price payable or give such receipt therefor, if any, as the Trustee may require, such redemption monies may be set aside in trust without interest either in the deposit department of the Trustee or in a chartered bank (which may, but need not be, an Affiliate of the Trustee), or with respect to Shares held in a book position by the Trustee, or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and Trustee, and such setting aside shall for all purposes be deemed a payment to the Debentureholder of the sum so set aside and, to that extent, the Debenture shall thereafter not be considered as outstanding hereunder and the Debentureholder shall have no other right except to receive payment out of the monies so paid and deposited upon surrender and delivery of such holder’s Debenture, of the Redemption Price plus accrued interest and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date in respect of such Debenture, and in the event that the Trustee receives the same, it shall hold the same in trust for the benefit of such holder. In the event that any money required to be deposited hereunder with the Trustee or any depository or paying agent on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on Debentures issued hereunder shall remain so deposited for a period of six years from the Redemption Date, then, subject to any applicable law regarding unclaimed property, such monies shall at the end of such period, upon the written request of the Corporation, be paid over by the Trustee or such depository or paying agent to the Corporation, and thereupon the Trustee shall not be responsible to Debentureholders for any amounts owing to them, shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies and, subject to applicable law, thereafter the Debentureholder in respect of which such monies was so repaid to the Corporation shall have no rights in respect thereof except to obtain payment of the monies due from the Corporation, subject to any limitation period provided by the laws of British Columbia.

4.7

Cancellation of Debentures Redeemed

Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.8 as to Debentures redeemed or purchased in part, all Debentures redeemed and whose obligations have been satisfied under this Article 4 shall forthwith be delivered to the Trustee and cancelled and no Debentures shall be issued in substitution therefor.

4.8

Purchase of Debentures by the Corporation

(a)

The Corporation may, at any time and from time to time, purchase Debentures in the market (which shall include purchase from or through an investment dealer or a firm holding membership on a recognized stock exchange) or by tender or by private contract, at any price, subject to compliance with Applicable Securities Legislation regarding issuer bids, and provided that any offer to purchase or invitation to tender is made to all Debentureholders on a pro-rata basis to the nearest multiple of $1,000 in accordance with the principal amount of the Debentures registered in the name of each holder. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Corporation may purchase all or any of the Debentures as aforesaid, except by private contract. All Debentures so purchased shall be cancelled and no Debentures shall be issued in substitution therefor.

(b)

If, upon an invitation for tenders, more Debentures are tendered at the same lowest price that the Corporation is prepared to accept, the Debentures to be purchased by the Corporation shall be selected by the Trustee, in such equitable manner (which may include selection by lot, selection on a pro rata basis, random selection by computer or any other method) or in such other manner consented to by the exchange or market on which the Debentures are then listed and the Trustee which the Corporation considers appropriate and so instructs the Trustee in writing, from the Debentures tendered by each tendering Debentureholder who tendered at such lowest price. For this purpose the Trustee may make, and from time to time amend, regulations with respect to the manner in which Debentures may be so selected, and regulations so made shall be valid and binding upon all Debentureholders, notwithstanding the fact that as a result thereof one or more of such Debentures become subject to purchase in part only. The Debentureholder of which a part only is purchased, upon surrender of such Debenture for payment, shall be entitled to receive, without expense to such holder, one or more new Debentures for the unpurchased part so surrendered, and the Trustee shall certify and deliver such new Debenture or Debentures upon receipt of the Debenture so surrendered.

-35-

Article 5
CONVERSION OF DEBENTURES

5.1

Applicability

(a)

Subject to applicable regulatory approval (including the approval of such stock exchange(s) on which the Shares are listed, if applicable), the Debentures issued hereunder (subject, however, to any applicable restriction on the conversion of Debentures contained in Sections 2.3(e), 2.3(n) and/or 5.3(a)) will be convertible into Freely Tradeable Shares, at such conversion rate or rates, and on such date or dates and in accordance with such other provisions as shall have been determined at the time of issue of such Debentures and shall have been expressed in this Indenture, in such Debentures, or in an Officer’s Certificate delivered in accordance with this Indenture.

(b)

Such right of conversion shall extend only to the maximum number of whole Shares into which the aggregate principal amount of the Debenture or Debentures surrendered for conversion at any one time by the holder thereof may be converted. Fractional interests in Shares shall be dealt with in the manner provided in Section 5.5.

5.2

Revival of Right to Convert

If the redemption of any Debenture called for redemption by the Corporation is not made or the payment of the purchase price of any Debenture which has been tendered in acceptance of an offer by the Corporation to purchase Debentures for cancellation is not made, in the case of a redemption upon due surrender of such Debenture or in the case of a purchase on the date on which such purchase is required to be made, as the case may be, then the right to convert such Debentures shall revive and continue as if such Debenture had not been called for redemption or tendered in acceptance of the Corporation’s offer, respectively.

5.3

Manner of Exercise of Right to Convert

(a)

The holder of a Debenture desiring to convert such Debenture in whole or in part into Shares shall surrender such Debenture to the Trustee at its principal office in Vancouver, British Columbia, together with the conversion notice in the form attached as “Conversion Notice - Schedule II” on the back of such Debenture or any other written notice in a form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Corporation, in either case duly executed by the holder or its executors or administrators or other legal representatives or its or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee, exercising its right to convert such Debenture in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5. If the number of Shares issuable upon a conversion of Debentures would result in the Maximum Conversion Shares being exceeded such that the approval of one or more stock exchange(s) on which the Shares are then listed is required for the Shares issuable upon a conversion of Debentures to be listed on such stock exchange(s), the Corporation shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain the approval of such stock exchange(s) (provided, for greater certainty, such commercially reasonable efforts shall not require the Corporation seeking securityholder approval, if required) and the conversion shall be conditional on such approval(s) being obtained. Thereupon such Debentureholder or, subject to payment of all applicable stamp or security transfer taxes or other governmental charges and compliance with all reasonable requirements of the Trustee, its nominee(s) or assignee(s), shall be entitled to be entered in the books of the Corporation as at the Date of Conversion (or such later date as is specified Section 5.3(b) or, if stock exchange approval is required in respect of a conversion, as soon as practicable following the date such approval is obtained) as the holder of the number of Shares into which such Debenture is convertible in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5 and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the Corporation shall deliver to such Debentureholder or, subject as aforesaid, its nominee(s) or assignee(s), a certificate or other evidence of such Shares.

-36-

(b)

For the purposes of this Article, a Debenture shall be deemed to be surrendered for conversion on the date (herein called the “Date of Conversion”) on which it is so surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5 and, in the case of a Debenture so surrendered by post or other means of transmission, on the date on which it is received by the Trustee at its principal office in Vancouver, British Columbia; provided that if a Debenture is surrendered for conversion on a day on which the register of Shares is closed, the person or persons entitled to receive Shares shall become the holder or holders of record of such Shares as at the date on which such registers are next reopened.

(c)

Any part, being $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, of a Debenture in a denomination in excess of $1,000 may be converted as provided in this Article and all references in this Indenture to conversion of Debentures shall be deemed to include conversion of such parts.

(d)

The holder of any Debenture of which only a part is converted shall, upon the exercise of its right of conversion surrender the said Debenture to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall cancel the same and shall, if applicable, without charge forthwith certify and deliver to the holder a new Debenture or Debentures in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted part of the principal amount of the Debenture so surrendered.

(e)

The holder of a Debenture surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Section 5.3 shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with Section 2.3(c) in respect thereof up to but excluding the Date of Conversion of such Debenture and the Shares issued upon such conversion shall rank only in respect of distributions or dividends declared in favour of shareholders of record on and after the Date of Conversion or such later date as such holder shall become the holder of record of such Shares pursuant to Section 5.3, from which applicable date they will for all purposes be and be deemed to be issued and outstanding as fully paid, non-assessable Shares.

-37-

5.4

Adjustment of Conversion Price

The Conversion Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth below.

(a)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry the Corporation shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares, or (iii) issue Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Shares by way of a dividend or distribution (other than pursuant to any distribution re-investment or Share purchase plans or similar arrangements), the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such issue of Shares by way of a dividend or distribution, as the case may be, shall in the case of any of the events referred to in (i) and (iii) above be decreased in proportion to the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision, dividend or distribution (including, in the case where securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares are distributed, the number of Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Shares on such effective date or record date), or shall, in the case of any of the events referred to in (ii) above, be increased in proportion to the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this 5.4(a) shall occur. Any such issue of Shares by way of a dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the dividend or distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Shares under Subsections 5.4(b) and 5.4(c) of this Section 5.4.

(b)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of options, rights or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Shares) at a price per Share (or having a conversion or exchange price per Share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price of a Share on such record date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date plus that number of Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by the Current Market Price per Share, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such options, rights or warrants are not so issued or any such options, rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such options, rights or warrants, as the case may be.

-38-

(c)

If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Shares (other than pursuant to any distribution re-investment or share purchase plans or similar arrangements), (ii) rights, options or warrants (excluding rights, options or warrants entitling the holders thereof for a period of not more than 45 days to subscribe for or purchase Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Shares), (iii) evidences of its indebtedness, or (iv) other assets (excluding dividends or distributions paid in the ordinary course) then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price per Share on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by an Investment Dealer chosen by the Corporation and subject to applicable exchange or market approval, which determination shall be conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price per Share. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall be re-adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be.

(d)

Subject to Section 9.1, if and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, there is a reclassification of the Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in Section 5.4(a) or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other person, or a sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other person or other entity, or a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, any holder of a Debenture who has not exercised its right of conversion prior to the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger, sale or conveyance or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, upon the exercise of such right thereafter, shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Shares then sought to be acquired by it, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the person or other entity resulting from such merger, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation, or to which such sale or conveyance may be made, as the case may be, that such holder of a Debenture would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger, sale or conveyance or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the holder had been the registered holder of the number of Shares sought to be acquired by it and to which it was entitled to acquire upon the exercise of the conversion right. If determined appropriate by the directors to give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this Section 5.4(d), the Corporation, its successor, or such purchasing person or other entity, as the case may be, shall, prior to or contemporaneously with any such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up enter into an indenture which shall provide, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set forth in this Indenture with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holder of Debentures to the end that the provisions set forth in this Indenture shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable, with respect to any shares or other securities or property to which a holder of Debentures is entitled on the exercise of its acquisition rights thereafter. Any indenture entered into between the Corporation and the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.4(d) shall be a supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to the provisions of Article 5 hereof. Any indenture entered into between the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or such purchasing person or other entity and the Trustee shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 5.4(d) and which shall apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, amalgamations, consolidations, mergers, arrangements, sales, conveyances, and to any successive liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or other similar transactions.

-39-

(e)

In any case in which this Section 5.4 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Corporation shall defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the holder of any Debenture converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any dividends or distributions made on such additional Shares declared in favour of holders of record of Shares on and after the Date of Conversion or such later date as such holder would, but for the provisions of this Section 5.4(e), have become the holder of record of such additional Shares pursuant to Section 5.4(b).

-40-

(f)

The adjustments provided for in this Section 5.4 are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 5.4(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment

(g)

For the purpose of calculating the number of Shares outstanding, Shares owned by or for the benefit of the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation shall not be counted.

(h)

In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Section 5.4, such question shall be conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants appointed by the Corporation (who may be the Auditors of the Corporation); such accountants shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation and such determination shall be binding upon the Corporation, the Trustee, and the Debentureholders (subject to manifest error).

(i)

In case the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Shares other than action described in this Section 5.4, which in the opinion of the directors would materially adversely affect the rights of Debentureholders, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the directors in their sole discretion may determine to be equitable in the circumstances. Failure of the directors to make such an adjustment shall be conclusive evidence that the directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

(j)

Subject to the prior written consent of any stock exchange or market upon which the Shares are then listed, as the case may be, and if required, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of any event described in Section 5.4(a), Section 5.4(b) or Section 5.4(c) if the holders of the Debentures are entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if they had converted their Debentures prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of such event.

(k)

Except as stated above in this Section 5.4, no adjustment will be made in the Conversion Price for any Debentures as a result of the issuance of Shares at less than the Current Market Price for such Shares on the date of issuance.

5.5

No Requirement to Issue Fractional Shares

The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional Shares upon the conversion of Debentures pursuant to this Article 5. If more than one Debenture shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of whole Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of such Debentures to be converted. If any fractional interest in a Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 5.5, be deliverable upon the conversion of any principal amount of Debentures, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering any certificate representing such fractional interest, make a cash payment to the holder of such Debenture of an amount equal to the fractional interest which would have been issuable multiplied by the Current Market Price. Upon request by the Trustee, the Corporation shall provide, in writing to the Trustee, the price to be paid in respect of such fractional Shares.

-41-

5.6

Corporation to Reserve Shares

The Corporation covenants with the Trustee that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Shares, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of Debentures as in this Article 5 provided and for purposes of paying interest pursuant to Section 2.3(c), and conditionally allot to Debentureholders who may exercise their conversion rights hereunder, such number of Shares as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Debentures. The Corporation covenants with the Trustee that all Shares which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued and, subject to Section 5.1(a) and Section 2.3(c), Freely Tradeable.

5.7

Cancellation of Converted Debentures

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(d) as to Debentures converted in part, all Debentures converted in whole or in part under the provisions of this Article 5 shall be delivered in accordance with Section 5.3(a) to and cancelled by the Trustee and no Debenture shall be issued in substitution therefor.

5.8

Certificate as to Adjustment

The Corporation shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 5.4, deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee 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, which certificate and the amount of the adjustment specified therein shall be verified by an opinion of a firm of nationally recognized chartered accountants appointed by the Corporation and acceptable to the Trustee (who may be the Auditors of the Corporation) and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest (subject to manifest error). When so approved, the Corporation shall forthwith give notice to the Debentureholders in the manner provided in Section 13.2 specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof, including the resulting Conversion Price; provided that, if the Corporation has given notice otherwise than under this Section 5.8 covering all the relevant facts in respect of such event, no such notice need be given under this Section 5.8.

5.9

Notice of Special Matters

The Corporation covenants with the Trustee that so long as any Debenture remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Trustee and to the Debentureholders in the manner provided in Section 13.2 and Section 13.3, respectively, of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in Section 5.4(a), 5.4(b), or 5.4(c) which 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; provided that the Corporation 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. Such notice shall be given not less than fourteen (14) days, in each case, prior to such applicable record date.

-42-

5.10

Protection of Trustee

The Trustee:

(a)

shall be entitled to rely on the adjustment calculation of the Corporation, the directors and/or the Corporation’s Auditors delivered pursuant to Section 5.8;

(b)

shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Debentureholder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment in the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same;

(c)

shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Shares or of any shares or other securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Debenture; and

(d)

shall not be responsible for any failure of the Corporation to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver Shares or other securities certificates upon the surrender of any Debenture for the purpose of conversion, or to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Article 5.

Article 6

(b)

The Corporation will use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain its status as a “reporting issuer”, or the equivalent thereof, not in default of Applicable Securities Legislation; provided that, for greater certainty, the foregoing covenant shall not prevent or restrict the Corporation from carrying out a transaction to which Article 9 would apply if carried out in compliance with Article 9 even if as a result of such transaction the Corporation no longer maintains its status as a “reporting issuer”, or the equivalent thereof.

Any such obligation to provide such Financial Reports shall continue in the event that the Corporation ceases to be a “reporting issuer” (or its equivalent) as if it had continued to be a “reporting issuer” (or its equivalent).

The Corporation covenants that in the event that such registration shall be terminated by the Corporation in accordance with the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying the Trustee of such termination and such other information as the Trustee may reasonably require at the time.

6.9

No Distributions on Shares if Event of Default

The Corporation shall not, without the prior approval of the Debentureholders:

(a)

6.10

Maintenance of Office or Agency

The Corporation shall maintain an office or agency at each place of payment for any Debentures where the Debentures may be presented or surrendered for payment, or for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of such Debentures and this Indenture may be served.

7.7

Application of Monies by Trustee

(a)

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, any monies received by the Trustee from the Corporation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, or as a result of legal or other proceedings or from any trustee in bankruptcy or liquidator of the Corporation, shall be applied, together with any other monies in the hands of the Trustee available for such purpose, as follows:

provided, however, that no payment shall be made pursuant to clause (ii) above in respect of the principal, premium or interest on any Debenture held, directly or indirectly, by or for the benefit of the Corporation or any Subsidiary (other than any Debenture pledged for value and in good faith to a person other than the Corporation or any Subsidiary but only to the extent of such person’s interest therein) except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal, premium (if any) and interest (if any) on all Debentures which are not so held.

-51-

The Trustee shall not be bound to apply or make any partial or interim payment of any monies coming into its hands if the amount so received by it, after reserving thereout such amount as the Trustee may think necessary to provide for the payments mentioned in Section 7.7(a)(i), is insufficient to make a distribution of at least 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures, but it may retain the money so received by it and invest or deposit the same as provided in Section 14.8 until the money or the investments representing the same, with the income derived therefrom, together with any other monies for the time being under its control shall be sufficient for the said purpose or until it shall consider it advisable to apply the same in the manner hereinbefore set forth. The foregoing shall, however, not apply to a final payment or distribution hereunder.

7.8

Notice of Payment by Trustee

Not less than 15 days’ notice shall be given in the manner provided in Section 13.2 by the Trustee to the Debentureholders of any payment to be made under this Article 7.

The Trustee shall have the right to demand production of the Debentures in respect of which any payment of principal, interest or premium required by this Article 7 is made and may cause to be endorsed on the same, a memorandum of the amount so paid and the date of payment, but the Trustee may, in its discretion, dispense with such production and endorsement, upon such indemnity being given to it and to the Corporation as the Trustee shall deem sufficient.

7.10

Remedies Cumulative

No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, or upon or to the Debentureholders is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now existing or hereafter to exist by law or by statute.

7.12

Control by Holders

(a)

(b)

The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or any Ordinary Resolution.

7.14

Delay or Omission Not Waiver

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Debentureholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

Such notice shall state the time when and the place where the meeting is to be held and shall state briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat and it shall not be necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to be proposed or any of the provisions of this Article 12. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to any Debentureholder shall not invalidate any resolution passed at any such meeting. A holder may waive notice of a meeting either before or after the meeting.

12.3

Chair

Some person, who need not be a Debentureholder, nominated in writing by the Corporation (in case it convenes the meeting) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall be chair of the meeting and if no person is so nominated, or if the person so nominated is not present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, a majority of the Debentureholders present in person or by proxy shall choose some individual present to be chair (provided that, for so long as a member of the MMCap Group is then a Debentureholder, and is represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, a member of the MMCap Group that is a Debentureholder or its duly appointed proxy must consent to the choice of the chair).

-64-

12.4

Quorum

At any meeting of the Debentureholders a quorum shall consist of Debentureholders present in person or by proxy and representing at least 40% of the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures and a member of the MMCap Group (to the extent it remains as Debentureholder). If a quorum of the Debentureholders shall not be present within 30 minutes from the time fixed for holding any meeting, the meeting, if summoned by the Debentureholders or pursuant to a request of the Debentureholders, shall be dissolved, but in any other case the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the next week (unless such day is not a Business Day in which case it shall be adjourned to the next following Business Day thereafter) at the same time and place, to the extent possible, and no notice shall be required to be given in respect of such adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Debentureholders present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened notwithstanding that they may not represent Relevant Debentureholder(s) or 40% of the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures. Any business may be brought before or dealt with at an adjourned meeting which might have been brought before or dealt with at the original meeting in accordance with the notice calling the same. No business shall be transacted at any meeting unless the required quorum is present at the commencement of business.

12.5

Power to Adjourn

The chair of any meeting at which a quorum of the Debentureholders is present may, with the consent of the holders of a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures represented thereat, adjourn any such meeting and no notice of such adjournment need be given except such notice, if any, as the meeting may prescribe (provided that, for so long as a member of the MMCAP Group is then a Debentureholder and is represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, a member of the MMCAP Group that is a Debentureholder or its duly appointed proxy must consent to such adjournment).

12.6

Poll

A poll will be taken on every question submitted for approval at a meeting of Debentureholders, in such manner, and either at once or after an adjournment, as the chair shall direct.

Voting

On a poll each Debentureholder present in person or represented by a proxy duly appointed by an instrument in writing shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures of which he shall then be the holder.

In the case of joint holders of a Debenture, any one of them present in person or by proxy at the meeting may vote in the absence of the other or others but in case more than one of them is present in person or by proxy, they shall vote together in respect of the Debentures of which they are joint holders.

-65-

12.8

Proxies

A Debentureholder may be present and vote at any meeting of Debentureholders by an authorized representative. The Corporation (in case it convenes the meeting) or the Trustee (in any other case) for the purpose of enabling the Debentureholders to be present and vote at any meeting without producing their Debentures, and of enabling them to be present and vote at any such meeting by proxy and of lodging instruments appointing such proxies at some place other than the place where the meeting is to be held, may from time to time make and vary such regulations as it shall think fit providing for and governing any or all of the following matters:

(a)

the voting by proxy by Debentureholders and the form of the instrument appointing a proxy, which shall be in writing, and the manner in which the same shall be executed and the production of the authority of any person signing on behalf of a Debentureholder;

(b)

the deposit of instruments appointing proxies at such place as the Trustee, the Corporation or the Debentureholder convening the meeting, as the case may be, may, in the notice convening the meeting, direct and the time, if any, before the holding of the meeting or any adjournment thereof by which the same must be deposited; and

(c)

the deposit of instruments appointing proxies at some approved place or places other than the place at which the meeting is to be held and enabling particulars of such instruments appointing proxies to be mailed, faxed or sent by other electronic means before the meeting to the Corporation or to the Trustee at the place where the same is to be held and for the voting of proxies so deposited as though the instruments themselves were produced at the meeting.

Any regulations so made shall be binding and effective and the votes given in accordance therewith shall be valid and shall be counted. The Trustee may dispense with any such deposit and permit Debentureholders to make proof of ownership in such other manner, if any, as the Trustee may approve. Save as such regulations may provide, the only persons who shall be recognized at any meeting as the holders of any Debentures, or as entitled to vote or be present at the meeting in respect thereof, shall be Debentureholders and persons whom Debentureholders have by instrument in writing duly appointed as their proxies.

12.9

Persons Entitled to Attend Meetings

The Corporation and the Trustee, by their respective officers, employees, trustees and directors, the Auditors of the Corporation, and the legal advisers of the Corporation, the Trustee or any Debentureholder, may attend any meeting of the Debentureholders, but shall have no vote as such.

12.10

Powers Cumulative

Any one or more of the powers in this Indenture stated to be exercisable by the Debentureholders may be exercised from time to time and the exercise of any one or more of such powers from time to time shall not be deemed to exhaust the rights of the Debentureholders to exercise the same or any other such power or powers thereafter from time to time.

12.11

Minutes

Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting as aforesaid shall be made and duly entered in books to be from time to time provided for that purpose by the Trustee at the expense of the Corporation, and any such minutes as aforesaid, if signed by the chair of the meeting at which such resolutions were passed or proceedings had, or by the chair of the next succeeding meeting of the Debentureholders, shall be prima facie evidence of the matters therein stated and, until the contrary is proved, every such meeting, in respect of the proceedings of which minutes shall have been made, shall be deemed to have been duly held and convened, and all resolutions passed thereat or proceedings taken thereat to have been duly passed and taken.

12.12

Instruments in Writing

12.13

Binding Effect of Resolutions

Every resolution passed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 12 at a meeting of Debentureholders shall be binding upon all the Debentureholders, whether present at or absent from such meeting, and every instrument in writing signed by Debentureholders in accordance with Section 12.12 shall be binding upon all the Debentureholders, whether signatories thereto or not, and each and every Debentureholder and the Trustee (subject to the provisions for its indemnity herein contained) shall be bound to give effect accordingly to every such resolution and instrument in writing.

12.14

Evidence of Rights of Debentureholders

Article 14
CONCERNING THE DEBENTURE TRUSTEE

14.1

Replacement of Trustee

(a)

The Trustee may resign its trust and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder by giving to the Corporation 90 days’ notice in writing or such shorter notice as the Corporation may accept as sufficient. The Corporation shall have the power at any time on notice in writing to the Trustee, and the Debentureholders by Ordinary Resolution shall have the power at any time, to remove the existing Trustee and to appoint a new or successor Trustee. In the event of the Trustee resigning or being removed or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Corporation shall forthwith appoint a new debenture trustee unless a new Trustee has already been appointed by the Debentureholders. Failing such appointment by the Corporation, the retiring Trustee or any Debentureholder may apply to a Judge of the British Columbia Superior Court of Justice, on such notice as such Judge may direct at the Corporation’s expense, for the appointment of a new Trustee but any new debenture trustee so appointed by the Corporation or by such court shall be subject to removal as aforesaid and the appointment of such new debenture trustee shall be effective only upon such new debenture trustee becoming bound by this Indenture. Any new debenture trustee appointed under any provision of this Section 14.1 shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in all of the provinces and territories of Canada. On any new appointment the new debenture trustee shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Trustee.

-69-

(b)

Any company into which the Trustee may be merged or, with or to which it may be consolidated, amalgamated or sold, or any company resulting from any merger, consolidation, arrangement, sale or amalgamation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any person to which the Trustee has transferred substantially all of its corporate trust business, shall be the successor trustee under this Indenture without the execution of any instrument or any further act. Nevertheless, upon the written request of the successor debenture trustee or of the Corporation, the Trustee ceasing to act, on payment of all reasonable outstanding fees and expenses, shall execute and deliver an instrument assigning and transferring to such successor debenture trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the rights, powers and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all property and money held by such Trustee to the successor debenture trustee so appointed in its place. Should any deed, conveyance or instrument in writing from the Corporation be required by any new debenture trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts, then any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments in writing shall on request of said new debenture trustee, be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Corporation, as the case may require. The reasonable cost of any act, document or other instrument or thing required or permitted under this Section 14.1 shall be at the expense of the Corporation.

14.2

Duties of Trustee

In the exercise of the rights, duties and obligations prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Debentureholders and shall exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent trustee would exercise in comparable circumstances.

14.3

Reliance Upon Declarations, Opinions, Etc.

(a)

In the exercise of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder the Trustee may, if acting in good faith, act and rely, as to the truth of the statements and accuracy of the opinions expressed therein, upon statutory declarations, opinions, reports or certificates furnished pursuant to any covenant, condition or requirement of this Indenture or required by the Trustee to be furnished to it in the exercise of its rights and duties hereunder, if the Trustee examines such statutory declarations, opinions, reports or certificates and determines that they comply with Section 14.4, if applicable, and with any other applicable requirements of this Indenture. The Trustee may nevertheless, in its discretion, require further proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable. Without restricting the foregoing, the Trustee may act and rely on an opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee notwithstanding that it is delivered by a solicitor or firm which acts as solicitors for the Corporation.

-70-

(b)

Certificate No. ______

NEXGEN ENERGY LTD. (the “Corporation”) for value received hereby acknowledges itself indebted and, subject to the provisions of the trust indenture dated May 28, 2024 (the “Indenture”) between the Corporation and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Trustee”), promises to pay to [Name of registered holder to be inserted here] , the registered holder hereof on the Maturity Date, or on such earlier date as the principal amount hereof may become due in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture the principal sum of _______________________________________________ dollars ($_______________) in lawful money of the United States of America on presentation and surrender of this Debenture at the principal office of the Trustee in Vancouver, British Columbia, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and, subject as hereinafter provided, to pay interest on the principal amount hereof from and including the date hereof, or from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment hereon, whichever is later, to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date at the rate of 9.0% per annum (based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), in like money, in arrears in (with the exception of the first interest payment which will include interest from May 28, 2024 until, but excluding, December 10, 2024 and the last interest payment which will include interest from December 10, 2028 until, but excluding, the Maturity Date, as set forth below) equal semi-annual installments (less any tax required by law to be deducted) on June 10 and December 10 in each year commencing on December 10, 2024 and the last payment (representing interest payable from the last Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date) to fall due on the Maturity Date and, should the Corporation at any time make default in the payment of any principal, premium, if any, or interest, to pay interest on the amount in default at the same rate, in like money and on the same dates. For certainty, the first interest payment will include interest accrued from May 28, 2024 to, but excluding December 10, 2024, which will be equal to $48.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures and the last interest payment will include interest accrued from December 10, 2028 to, but excluding May 29, 2029, which will be equal to $42.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures.

Subject to applicable regulatory approval (including the approval of such stock exchange(s) on which the Shares are listed, if applicable) and the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Corporation shall satisfy its Interest Obligation on the Debentures on each Interest Payment Date (including, for greater certainty, following conversion or redemption or on the Maturity Date) by delivering: (i) cash for two-thirds of the Interest Obligation then due (equal to 6% per annum); and (ii) Freely Tradeable Shares for one-third of the Interest Obligation then due (equal to 3% per annum). The Shares to be issued in satisfaction of the Corporation’s Interest Obligation on the Debentures shall be issued at a price equal to the Current Market Price.

Interest hereon that is to be paid in cash shall be payable by wire, cheque, electronic transfer of funds or such other means as may be agreed to by the Trustee, to the registered holder hereof and, subject to the provisions of the Indenture.

From and after the announcement by the Corporation of a Change of Control that is recommended by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and subject to the terms on conditions set out in the Indenture, the Corporation shall have a right to require the holder of this Debenture to convert the whole or any part of this Debenture into Shares at the Conversion Price.

Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Indenture, if an Offer for all of the outstanding Debentures is made and, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Indenture, the Offer is accepted by holders of Debentures representing at least 90% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures (other than Debentures held by or on behalf of the Offeror or an Affiliate or Associate of the Offeror), and the Offeror is bound to take up and pay for, or has taken up and paid for the Debentures of the Debentureholders who accepted the Offer, the Offeror will be entitled to acquire, for the same consideration per Debenture payable under the Offer, the Debentures held by Debentureholders who did not accept the Offer.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture is a direct unsecured obligation of the Corporation, and will rank equally with all other Debentures and with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Corporation except as prescribed by law. The Indenture does not limit the Corporation from incurring additional indebtedness that ranks senior to the Debentures, or from mortgaging, pledging or charging the Corporation’s properties to secure any indebtedness.

The principal hereof may become or be declared due and payable before the stated maturity in the events, in the manner, with the effect and at the times provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all Debentureholders outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments signed by the holders of a specified majority of Debentures outstanding, which resolutions or instruments may have the effect of amending the terms of this Debenture or the Indenture. Further, in certain cases, the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of Debentures then outstanding may, on behalf of all Debentureholders, waive an Event of Default and/or cancel a declaration of acceleration upon such terms and conditions as such holders shall prescribe. So long as a member of the MMCap Group is then a Debentureholder, in order to be valid, any such resolutions, instruments, and waivers must be approved by a member of the MMCap Group that is a Debentureholder.

This Debenture may only be transferred, upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, in one of the registers to be kept at the principal office of the Trustee in Vancouver, British Columbia and in such other place or places and/or by such other registrars (if any) as the Corporation with the approval of the Trustee may designate. No transfer of this Debenture shall be valid unless made on the register by the registered holder hereof or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives, or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee or other registrar, and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Trustee and/or other registrar may prescribe and upon surrender of this Debenture for cancellation. Thereupon a new Debenture or Debentures in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange hereof.

This Debenture shall not become obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been certified by the Trustee under the Indenture.

The Indenture and this Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

A foreign company registered in its original jurisdiction of British Columbia, Canada as NexGen Energy Ltd.

29 May 2024

Notice under sections 708A(5)(e) and 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)

NexGen Energy (Canada) Ltd. a foreign company registered in its original jurisdiction of British Columbia, Canada as NexGen Energy Ltd. (NexGen) gives this notice (Cleansing Notice) under sections 708A(5)(e) and 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) as notionally inserted by ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers: Securities Issued on Conversion of Convertible Notes) Instrument 2016/82 (ASIC Instrument 2016/82) and modified by ASIC Instrument 22-0915.

Where applicable, references in this Cleansing Notice to the Corporations Act are to those sections as modified by ASIC Instrument 2016/82 and ASIC Instrument 22-0915.

This Cleansing Notice is important and should be read in its entirety. Neither ASIC nor ASX takes any responsibility for the contents of this Cleansing Notice.

Background

2024 Convertible Debentures

On 8 May 2024, NexGen announced it had entered into a binding terms sheet with MMCap International Inc. SPC (MMCap) in relation the purchase of 2,702,410 pounds natural uranium concentrate (U₃O₈) for an aggregate purchase price of US$250 million based on the 5-day average UxC spot price (Purchase). In satisfaction of the purchase price for the U₃O₈, NexGen agreed to issue US$250 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured interest bearing convertible debentures.

In connection with the Purchase, NexGen has today announced the issue of:

•

250,000 convertible debentures with a face value of US$1,000 each (2024 Convertible Debentures) to MMCap and certain other investors (collectively, with MMCap, the Investors), convertible into fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of NexGen (Shares); and

•

909,090 Shares to MMCap (Establishment Shares).

The 2024 Convertible Debentures and Establishment Shares were issued without disclosure under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act in reliance on the disclosure exemptions contained in section 708 of the Corporations Act.

Investor Rights Agreements

NexGen has also announced that, in connection with the Purchase, NexGen has entered into an investor rights agreement with the Investors (Investor Rights Agreement), containing voting alignment, standstill, and transfer restrictions that will apply unless and until there is a change of control of NexGen. A summary of the Investor Rights Agreement is set out in Schedule 1.

Contents of this Cleansing Notice

This Cleansing Notice sets out the following:

(a)

in relation to the 2024 Convertible Debentures:

(i)

the effect of the issue of the 2024 Convertible Debentures on NexGen;

(ii)

a summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the 2024 Convertible Debentures; and

(iii)

a summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares issuable on the conversion of the 2024 Convertible Debentures;

(b)

any information that:

(i)

has been excluded from disclosure under the continuous disclosure obligations contained in Sec 408 of the Company Manual of the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) in accordance with exceptions in the Company Manual of the TSX as in force on 25 October 2022; and

(ii)

is information that investors and their professional advisors would reasonably require for the purpose of making an informed assessment of:

(A)

the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses and prospects of NexGen; and

(B)

the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares; and

(c)

any other information relating to NexGen's reporting and disclosure obligations under the Company Manual of the TSX and where certain documents may be obtained.

The effect of the 2024 Convertible Debentures on NexGen

The principal effects of the issue of the 2024 Convertible Debentures on NexGen are to:

(a)

increase the amount of physical U₃O on NexGen's balance sheet by 2,702,410 pounds;

(b)

increase the number of 2024 Convertible Debentures on issue from nil to 250,000; and

(c)

increase NexGen's indebtedness by an amount equal to US$250 million plus all accrued and unpaid interest.

The Investors may convert the 2024 Convertible Debentures to Shares, either in whole or in part, at US$10.73 per Share. If the 2024 Convertible Debentures are converted in whole or in part, this will dilute existing shareholders of NexGen (Shareholders).

Potential effect of the 2024 Convertible Debentures on NexGen's Capital Structure

The effect of conversion of the 2024 Convertible Debentures on NexGen’s issued share capital will depend on what portion (if any) of the 2024 Convertible Debentures are converted to Shares at any one time.

The effect of the 2024 Convertible Debentures on NexGen's capital structure is as follows.

Class		As at the date of this Cleansing Notice	After conversion of the 2024 Convertible Debentures⁽¹⁾ (face value only)	After conversion of the 2024 Convertible Debentures⁽¹⁾ (face value and all interest payments)
Shares (including CDIs)		561,166,699⁽²⁾	584,465,860⁽³⁾	589,292,114⁽⁴⁾
Options		49,715,807	49,715,807	49,715,807
2023 Convertible Debentures⁽⁵⁾		110,000	110,000	110,000
2024 Convertible Debentures		250,000	Nil	Nil
Notes:
1.	Assumes none of the 2023 Convertible Debentures or Options are exercised prior to conversion of the 2024 Convertible Debentures.
2.	Includes the Establishment Shares.
3.	The number of Shares to be issued on conversion of the 2024 Convertible Debentures is calculated based on a conversion price of US$10.73, being a 30% premium to the volume-weighted average trading price of NexGen's shares on the TSX for the 5-days ending on the day prior to the execution of the binding term sheet with MMCap (as described in Section 1).
4.	Interest is payable on the 2024 Convertible Debentures at a rate of 9%, compounded semi-annually, with two thirds of this amount payable in cash and one third payable in Shares. Refer to Section 5 for a summary of the terms and conditions of the 2024 Convertible Indentures. Assumes interest payments are made at the NYSE closing share price on 24 May 2024 of US$7.77.
5.	Convertible into a total of 16,272,189 Shares (principle) plus 198,198 Shares (interest), assuming interest payments are made at the NYSE closing share price on 24 May 2024 of US$7.77. Refer to NexGen's announcement to ASX on 25 September 2023, for further details of the 2023 Convertible Debentures.

Potential effect on control of NexGen

The level of ownership of Shares by the Investors if the 2024 Convertible Debentures are converted, will depend on the number of 2024 Convertible Debentures that are converted to Shares and the number of Shares on issue at the time of conversion.

However, based on the number of Shares each Investor already holds, the maximum number of Shares that the Investors would be entitled to upon conversion of the 2024 Convertible Debentures and the current number of Shares on issue:

•

MMCap would hold 5.50% of all Shares currently on issue; and

•

the other Investors, excluding MMCap, would hold 0.20% of all Shares currently on issue,

in each case inclusive of interest settled by way of issue of Shares.

Rights and liabilities attaching to the 2024 Convertible Debentures

A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the 2024 Convertible Debentures is outlined in the table below. The summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of the Investors.

Instrument	Unsecured Convertible Debentures.
Face Value	US$1,000 per 2024 Convertible Debenture.
Maturity Date	28 May 2029.
Conversion Price	US$10.73 per Share. In the event that NexGen issued Share capital is reconstructed (including, by way of consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) or otherwise altered as a result of NexGen issuing securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Shares by way of a dividend or distribution, the Conversion Price will be similarly adjusted to increase or decrease (as applicable) in proportion to the adjustment to the issued Share capital of NexGen.
Interest Rate	9.00% per annum, payable semi-annually.
Payment of Interest	Interest is payable in semi-annual instalments in arrears on 10 June and 10 December each year (Interest Payment Date). Two thirds (equal to 6% per annum) of the interest amount due on an Interest Payment Date is payable in cash in USD, and the remaining third (equal to 3% per annum) is payable in Shares to be issued at a price per Share equal to the Current Market Price. The *Current Market Price* is equal to the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price of the Shares trading on the NYSE, for a 20 day period ending three trading days prior to the Interest Payment Date. If Shares are not trading on the NYSE, the TSX must be used as the reference exchange and the Current Market Price must be converted into USD using the average daily exchange rate reported by the Bank of Canada on those 20 trading days.
Conversion	The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2024 Convertible Debentures is convertible at the relevant holder's option at any time prior to the Maturity Date, in whole or in part, into Shares at the Conversion Price (subject to any adjustment). The maximum aggregate number of Shares that the 2024 Convertible Debentures may convert into without the prior approval of any securities exchange is 23,299,161 Shares.
Ranking on Conversion	Shares issued on conversion of the 2024 Convertible Debentures will be fully paid common shares in the capital of NexGen, having all the rights set out in NexGen's articles (Articles).
Redemption	NexGen may redeem the 2024 Convertible Debentures in whole or in part: • after 28 May 2027 (Redemption Date) and prior to the Maturity Date; and • provided that the Current Market Price on the date that NexGen provides notice of its intention to redeem is greater than 130% of the Conversion Price, at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Redemption - Change of Control	NexGen may redeem all (but not part) of the 2024 Convertible Debentures in the event of a Change of Control, at a price equal to: • 130% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest, if the Change of Control occurs prior to the Redemption Date; or • 115% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest, if the Change of Control occurs after the Redemption Date. A *Change of Control* means: • the acquisition by any transaction, directly or indirectly, by a person or group of persons acting jointly or in concert of voting control or direction over 50% or more of NexGen's Shares; • the amalgamation, consolidation or merger of NexGen with or into another entity as a result of which the holders of the shares immediately prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly, hold less than 50% of voting control or direction over the entity carrying on the business of NexGen following such transaction; • the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property or assets of NexGen to another entity in which the holders of Shares immediately prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly, hold less than 50% of voting control or direction following such transaction; or • the removal by resolution of the Shareholders of NexGen, of more than 51% of the then incumbent directors of NexGen which removal has not been recommended in NexGen's management information circular, or the failure to elect to the Board a majority of the directors proposed for election by management in NexGen's management information circular. • In addition, upon the public announcement of a Change of Control that is supported by the board of directors of NexGen, NexGen may require the 2024 Convertible Debenture holders to convert their 2024 Convertible Debentures into Shares at the Conversion Price provided the consideration payable upon the Change of Control exceeds the Conversion Price.

Events of default

If any of the following events occur, the Investor may accelerate all amounts outstanding under the 2024 Convertible Debentures and render them immediately due for payment and payable:

• failure to pay any principal amount or interest when due;

• a breach of the applicable trust indenture by NexGen which remains unremedied for 30 days; or

• an insolvency event occurring in respect of NexGen under applicable Canadian law remains unstayed for a period of 60 days.

Governing Law

The laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applying there.

Rights and Liabilities attaching to Shares and CDIs

Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares

The Shares issued to the Investor upon conversion of the 2024 Convertible Debentures will rank equally in all respects with all of NexGen's existing Shares. A summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares, including the Shares to be issued to the Investors on conversion of the 2024 Convertible Notes, is detailed below.

The summary is not exhaustive and does not purport to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders and is qualified by the full terms of the Articles (a full copy of the Articles is available from NexGen on request free of charge).

General meetings

An annual general meeting of Shareholders is required to be held by NexGen once in every calendar year and not more than 15 months after the last annual general meeting of Shareholders.

NexGen is required to give Shareholders at least 21 days' and not more than 2 months' notice of a meeting of Shareholders. Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at any meeting of Shareholders and to receive all notices required to be sent to Shareholders under applicable law.

Voting rights

Unless the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or Articles require a special resolution, any action that must or may be taken or authorised by the shareholders of NexGen may be taken or authorised by an ordinary resolution. Ordinary resolutions of NexGen are passed by a simple majority of votes cast on the resolution. The majority of votes required for NexGen shareholders to approve a special resolution at a meeting of Shareholders is two-thirds of the votes cast on the resolution.

The quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of Shareholders is two persons who are, or represent by proxy, Shareholders which hold, in the aggregate, at least 5% of the issued Shares entitled to be voted at the meeting.

Every motion put to a vote at a meeting of Shareholders will be decided on a show of hands unless a poll, before or on the declaration of the result of the vote by show of hands, is directed by the chair or demanded by at least one Shareholder entitled to vote who is present in person or by proxy.

Subject to any special rights or restrictions attached to any Shares and to the restrictions imposed on joint shareholders on a vote by show of hands, every person present who is a shareholder or proxy holder and entitled to vote on the matter has one vote, and on a poll, every shareholder entitled to vote on the matter has one vote in respect of each Share entitled to be voted on the matter and held by that shareholder and may exercise that vote either in person or by proxy.

As detailed below in 'Rights of CDI Holders', holders of CDIs can attend but cannot vote in person at a general meeting, and must instead direct CDN (defined below) how to vote in advance of the meeting. Any notice of meeting issued to CDI holders will include a form permitting the holder to direct CDN to cast proxy votes in accordance with the holder's written instructions.

Dividend rights

Pursuant to the Articles and subject to applicable law, the Board may from time to time declare and authorise payment of such dividends on the Shares as they may deem advisable, and the Board may determine the time for payment of such dividends and the record date for determining the Shareholders entitled thereto.

Transfer of Shares

A transfer of the Shares must not be registered unless:

• a duly signed instrument of transfer in respect of the Share has been received by NexGen;

• if a share certificate has been issued by NexGen in respect of the Share to be transferred, that share certificate has been surrendered to NexGen; and

• if a non-transferable written acknowledgement of the Shareholder's right to obtain a share certificate has been issued by NexGen in respect of the Share to be transferred, that acknowledgment has been surrendered by NexGen.

Rights of CDI holders

NexGen is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, and the requirements of applicable securities laws that registered shareholders have the right to receive a stock certificate do not permit the CHESS system (being ASX's system of electronic transfer and settlement) of holding uncertificated securities. Accordingly, for Shareholders to trade their Shares on ASX, they must first be transmuted into a Chess Depository Interest (CDI).

CDIs are electronic depositary interests or receipts issued and are units of beneficial ownership in underlying Shares registered on the Canadian register of Shareholders in the name of CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd (CDN). CDN is a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX. The main difference between holding CDIs and Shares is that the holder of CDIs has beneficial ownership of the underlying Shares instead of legal title. Legal title to the underlying Shares is held by CDN for the benefit of the CDI holder. The Shares converted into CDIs will be registered in the name of CDN for the benefit of the CDI holders. Each NexGen CDI represents one underlying Share.

CDN receives no fees from investors for acting as the depositary nominee in respect of CDIs. CDI holders have the same economic benefits of holding the underlying Shares. CDI holders are able to transfer and settle transactions electronically on ASX. With the exception of voting rights, the CDI holders are generally entitled to equivalent rights and entitlements as if they were the legal owners of Shares.

CDI holders will receive notices of general meetings of Shareholders. As CDI holders are not the legal owners of underlying Shares, CDN, which holds legal title to the Shares underlying the CDIs, is entitled to vote at shareholder meetings of NexGen on the instruction of the CDI holders.

CDI holders are entitled to give instructions for one vote for every underlying Share held by CDN. NexGen participates in CHESS, which is the ASX electronic transfer and settlement system in Australia, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and ASX Operating Rules.

Set out below is a summary of CDIs.

Nature of CDIs	A CDI is a unit of beneficial ownership in a share (or beneficial interest in a share) or option of a foreign company, where the underlying share, interest or option is registered in the name of a depositary nominee (in this case CDN), for the purpose of enabling the foreign share, interest or option to be traded on the ASX.
Specific Features of a CDI	The main difference between holding CDIs and Shares is that the holder of CDIs has beneficial ownership of the underlying Shares instead of legal title. Legal title to the underlying Shares is held by CDN on the Canadian register of Shareholders for the benefit of the CDI Holder. Each CDI will represent one underlying Share. CDI holders have the same economic benefits of holding the underlying Shares. CDI holders are able to transfer and settle transactions electronically on ASX. With the exception of voting rights, the CDI holders are entitled to equivalent rights and entitlements as if they were the legal owners of Shares. CDI holders will receive notices of general meetings of Shareholders.
Dividend rights	The ASX Settlement Rules require that all economic benefits, such as dividends, bonus issues, or other distributions flow through to CDI holders as if they were the legal owners of the underlying securities. As each CDI will represent one underlying Share, in the event NexGen pays a dividend or undertakes a distribution, CDI holders will receive the same benefit as if they were holding Shares.
Voting Rights	CDI holders cannot vote personally at Shareholder meetings. The CDI Holder must convert their CDIs into certificated Shares prior to the relevant meeting in order to vote in person at the meeting. As CDI holders are not the legal owners of underlying Shares, CDN, which holds legal title to the Shares underlying the CDIs, is entitled to vote at Shareholder meetings of NexGen on the instruction of the CDI holders. The ASX Settlement Rules require NexGen to give notices to CDI holders of general meetings of Shareholders. The notice of meeting must include a form permitting the CDI Holder to direct CDN how to vote on a particular resolution, in accordance with the CDI Holder's written directions. CDN is then obliged under the ASX Settlement Rules to lodge proxy votes in accordance with the directions of CDI holders.

Corporate Actions

The ASX Settlement Rules require that all economic benefits, such as dividends, bonus issues, rights issues or similar corporate actions flow through to CDI holders as if they were the legal owners of the underlying securities.

However, in some cases, marginal difference may exist between the resulting entitlements of CDI holders and the entitlements they would have accrued if they held Shares directly. This is because, for the purposes of certain corporate actions, CDN's holding of Shares is, for Canadian legal reasons, treated as a single holding, rather than as a number of smaller separate holdings corresponding to the individual interests of CDI holders (thus, for example, CDI holders will not benefit to the same extent from the rounding up of fractional entitlements as if they held Shares directly).

Takeovers

If a takeover bid or similar transaction is made in relation to the Shares of which CDN is the registered holder, the ASX Settlement Rules require that CDN must not accept the offer made under the takeover bid except to the extent that acceptance is authorised by the relevant CDI Holder. In these circumstances, CDN must ensure that the offeror, pursuant to the takeover bid, processes the takeover acceptance.

Converting Between Shares and CDIs

CDI holders may at any time convert their holding of CDIs (tradeable on ASX) into Shares held on the Canadian register of Shareholders by:

• in the case of CDIs held through the issuer sponsored sub-register, contacting the Computershare Australia (NexGen's Australian share registry) directly to obtain the applicable 'CDI Cancellation Australian to Canadian Register' request form for completion and return it to NexGen's share registry (see www.computershare.com/au); or

• in the case of CDIs held on the CHESS sub-register, contacting their controlling participant (generally a stockbroker), who will liaise with the Australian Share Registry to obtain and complete the request form.

Upon receipt of a request form, the relevant number of CDIs will be cancelled and Shares will be transferred from CDN into the name of the CDI holder and a registered uncertificated book-entry position created or share certificate issued. This will cause the CDI holder's Shares to be registered on the Canadian register of Shareholders and trading will no longer be possible on ASX. The Canadian Share Registry will not charge an individual security holder or NexGen a fee for converting CDI holdings into Shares (although a fee will be payable by market participants). It is expected that this process will be completed within 24 hours, provided that Computershare Australia has received a duly completed and valid form. No guarantee can be given regarding the actual timing for the conversion to take place.

A holder of Shares may also convert their Shares to CDIs by contacting their Canadian stockbroker (or applicable controlling participant) or the Canadian Share Registry where applicable.

Continuous Disclosure Obligations

NexGen is admitted to the official list of ASX as a 'Foreign Exempt Listing', meaning NexGen is not subject to section 674 of the Corporations Act and is exempt from complying with the continuous disclosure provisions in the ASX Listing Rules. Therefore, NexGen is not a 'disclosing entity' (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of this Cleansing Notice.

However, NexGen is subject to substantially equivalent continuous disclosure obligations under the rules and policies of the TSX applicable to NexGen (TSX Rules), whereby NexGen is required to disclose, via a news release that is to be filed on SEDAR, all material information concerning its business or affairs, which is information that results in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a significant change in the market price or value of NexGen's listed securities, forthwith upon the information becoming known to management, or in the case of information previously known, forthwith upon it becoming apparent that the information is material. NexGen is required to lodge any documents lodged under the TSX Rules concurrently on the ASX market announcements platform in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 1.15.2.

NexGen has received relief from ASIC in the form of ASIC Instrument 22-0915 permitting NexGen to issue this Cleansing Notice under sections 708A(5)(e) and 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act (as notionally inserted by ASIC Instrument 2016/82). Refer to Section 11 below for further details on ASIC Instrument 22-0915.

This Cleansing Notice is a ''cleansing notice' under sections 708A(5)(e) and 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act to which the special content rules under section 708A(12D) of the Corporations Act apply (each as notionally inserted by ASIC Instrument 2016/82 and modified by ASIC Instrument 22-0915).

This provision (as modified by ASIC Instrument 22-0915) allows sale offers of securities issued on conversion of convertible securities to be made to retail investors within 12 months of their issue without disclosure under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act, provided that a cleansing notice is issued in relation to the convertible securities to which they relate.

In general terms 'cleansing notices' under section 708A(5)(e) and 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of new securities on the issuing company and the rights attaching to the new securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, the financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Cleansing Notice is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to NexGen which has been notified to ASX under ASX Listing Rule 1.15.2 and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of NexGen's securities in Australia. Investors should therefore have regard to the publicly available information in relation to NexGen before making a decision whether or not to invest in NexGen.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, NexGen states that:

(a)

it is subject to:

(i)

regulatory reporting and disclosure obligations of the TSX Company Manual; and

(ii)

section 601CK of the Corporations Act;

(b)

copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to NexGen may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of ASIC; and

(c)

it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request:

(i)

the most recent balance sheet and other documents lodged with ASIC under section 601CK of the Corporations Act; and

(ii)

any notices given by NexGen in accordance with its obligations under ASX Listing Rule 1.15.2, as in force on 25 October 2022 (being the date of ASIC Instrument 22-0915), after the lodgement of its most recent balance sheet and other documents lodged with ASIC under section 601CK of the Corporations Act and before the lodgement of the Prospectus.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to NexGen can be inspected at the office of the Australian Company Secretary at Suite 8, 7 The Esplanade, Mount Pleasant, Western Australia during normal office hours.
