impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such
Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by

any amount payable under this Debenture remains unpaid:
Section 4.1. Payment of Debenture. The Issuer will punctually
pay or cause to be paid to the Holder the Debenture Amount and accrued and

payments of principal and interest by the Issuer under this Debenture shall be
made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for Canadian Taxes
(as hereinafter defined) (other than Excluded Taxes) (as hereinafter defined)
except that in the event that such withholding or deduction for Canadian Taxes
(other than Excluded Taxes) is required by law with respect to any payment, such
payment shall be increased as may be necessary so that after all such deductions
or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings required in respect of
additional amounts payable hereunder), the Holder shall receive such amounts as
it would have received had no such Canadian Taxes been required to be withheld
or deducted. For purposes herein, "Canadian Taxes" shall mean all taxes or other
charges imposed by Canada or a political subdivision thereof and "Excluded
Taxes" shall mean any Canadian Taxes payable by reason of the Holder carrying on
business in Canada or being or having in the past been resident in Canada or not
dealing at arm's length with the Issuer.
Section 4.2. Covenants. The Issuer covenants with the Holder
as follows:
(a) the Issuer will duly and punctually pay or cause to be

in the manner mentioned herein;
(b) the Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to
maintain its status as a reporting company under U.S. securities laws;

January 8, 2001 (the "Filing Date") a registration statement covering the resale

conversion of this Debenture (the "Registration Statement") and shall use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be
declared effective by March 7, 2001 (the "Registration Deadline"). If the
Company does not meet the Filing Deadline or the Registration Deadline, it shall
continue to use
7
<PAGE>
its commercially reasonable best efforts to complete such filing or cause such
registration statement, as the case may be, to become effective as soon as
possible thereafter. The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable best
efforts to cause such registration statement to remain effective until the
earliest of (i) the date on which this Debenture has been redeemed, (ii) the
date on which all of the shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture have
been sold by the Holder or (iii) the date on which all of the shares issuable
upon conversion of this Debenture may be immediately sold to the public without
registration or restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.
(d) the Issuer will duly and punctually perform and carry out
all of the acts or things to be done by it as provided in this Debenture and the
Securities Purchase Agreement;
(e) the Issuer shall at all times maintain its corporate
existence and the Issuer shall carry on and conduct or shall cause to be carried
on and conducted its business and the business of its subsidiaries in a proper
and efficient manner and shall keep or cause to be kept proper books of account
and make or cause to be made therein true and accurate entries of all its
dealings and transactions in relation to its business and the business of its
subsidiaries, as the case may be, all in accordance with generally accepted
account principles applicable in the jurisdiction in which such business is
carried on, and at all reasonable times it shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Holder or its duly authorized agent or attorney such
information relating to its business and that of its subsidiaries as the Holder
may reasonably require and such books of account shall at all reasonable times
be open for inspection by the Holder or such agent or attorney;
(f) the Issuer shall furnish or make available to the Holder a
copy of all publicly available financial statements, whether annual or interim,
of the Issuer and any report of the Issuer's auditors thereon and of all annual
and other periodic reports of the Issuer furnished to its shareholders at the
same time(s) as they are furnished to such shareholders; and
(g) at the reasonable request of, and on reasonable notice
from, the Holder, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holder a certificate executed
by the President of the Issuer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer
stating that the Issuer has complied with all covenants, conditions or other
requirements contained in this Debenture, non-compliance with which would, with
the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, constitute an Event of
Default hereunder or, if such is not the case, specifying the covenant,
condition or other requirement which has not been complied with and giving
particulars of such non-compliance and the action, if any, the Issuer proposes
to take with respect thereto.
Section 4.3. Liquidated Damages and Covenant to Pay. In
accordance with, and not in addition to, the Issuer's obligations under Section
4.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, if the Registration Statement referred
to in Section 4.2(c) above is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date then the
Issuer shall pay to the Holder, as the sole remedy of the Holder in respect of
such late filing and as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, a cash amount
("Damages") equal to the
8
<PAGE>
product of (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture multiplied by
(ii) .01 further multiplied by the number of full 30-day periods that passed
since the Filing Date. Such liquidated damages shall continue until the earlier
to occur of (i) the filing of such Registration Statement or (ii) the incurrence
by the Issuer of ten 30-day periods of Damages. In accordance with, and not in
addition to, the Issuer's obligations under Section 4.2 of the Securities
Purchase Agreement, if the Registration Statement required to be filed by the
Issuer pursuant to Section 4.2(c) above is filed by the Issuer prior to the
incurrence by the Issuer of ten full 30-day periods of Damages pursuant to the
first sentence of this Section 4.3 but is not declared effective by the SEC on
or prior to the Registration Deadline, then the Issuer shall pay to the Holder,
as the sole remedy of the Holder in respect of such late effective date and as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, Damages equal to the product of (i) the
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture multiplied by (ii) .01 further
multiplied by the number of full 30-day periods that passed since the
Registration Deadline. Such liquidated damages shall continue until the earlier
to occur of (i) the declaration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement
or (ii) the incurrence by the Issuer of ten full 30-day periods of Damages
inclusive of Damages pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.3. For
further clarity, the maximum amount of liquidated damages payable by the Issuer
pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be ten 30-day periods of Damages.
Section 4.4. Subordination. The Issuer agrees, and the Holder
by accepting this Debenture agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by this
Debenture and the payment of principal thereof and interest thereon are
subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt
and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. By
its acceptance of this Debenture, the Holder agrees to execute and deliver such
documents with respect to subordination as may be reasonably requested from time
to time by Issuer or a lender of Senior Debt.

indebtedness described in clauses (a), (b) and (d) of any other person, (d)

Section 5. Conversion; Redemption.
Section 5.1. Holder's Right to Convert. (a) Subject to Section
5.2 below, Holder shall have the right, exercisable at any time or times before
the Maturity Date, or in the case this
9
<PAGE>
Debenture has been called for redemption on or prior to such date, then up to
but not after the close of business on the last Business Day immediately prior
to the Redemption Date, by written notice to Issuer, to convert this Debenture
(in whole or in part) into such whole number of shares of Common Stock as is
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the principal amount to be converted
plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the "Conversion Amount") by the
conversion price in effect on the conversion date. The conversion price for
purposes of this Section 5.1 shall be the lower of (i) U.S. $1.50 per share of
Common Stock (the "Fixed Exchange Price") or (ii) 80% of the average of the
three lowest closing bid prices of the Issuer's Common Stock for the 30 days
immediately preceding the conversion date, unless, at the conversion date the
Common Stock is not listed and posted for trading on a recognized stock exchange
or quotation system, in which case the conversion price shall be U.S. $1.50.
(b) The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the
requirements for conversion is the conversion date. As soon as practicable
following the conversion date, the Issuer shall deliver a certificate for the
number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion and a check
in lieu of any fractional share in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof. The
person in whose name the certificate is registered shall be treated as a
stockholder of record on and after the conversion date.
(c) Upon surrender of this Debenture that is converted in
part, the Issuer shall authenticate for the Holder a new Debenture equal in
principal amount to the unconverted portion of this Debenture surrendered.
(d) If the last day on which this Debenture may be converted
is not a Business Day, this Debenture may be surrendered to the Issuer on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day.
(e) To convert this Debenture, the Holder must (1) complete
and sign the conversion notice on the back of this Debenture and deliver such
notice to the Issuer, (2) surrender this Debenture to the Issuer, (3) furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Issuer and
(4) pay any transfer or similar tax if required. The Holder may convert a
portion of this Debenture if the portion is $100,000 or a whole multiple of
$100,000.
(f) As promptly as practicable, but in any event not later
than five Business Days after the conversion date, the Issuer shall issue or
cause its registrar and transfer agent to issue and deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates in the name(s) of the
person(s) specified in the conversion notice delivered to the Issuer for the
number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all or such
portion of this Debenture so converted, and provision shall be made in respect
of any fraction of a share of Common Stock as provided in Section 5.4. Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close
of business on the conversion date and at such time the rights of the Holder as
the holder
10
<PAGE>
of all or such portion of this Debenture so converted shall cease and the
person(s) in whose name(s) any certificate or certificates for shares of Common
Stock shall be deliverable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become
at such time the holder or holders of record of the shares of Common Stock
represented thereby.
Section 5.2. Restrictions. (a) If the closing bid price of the
Common Stock, as reported by the Issuer's then principal trading market, is
equal to or less than U.S. $1.00 for five consecutive Trading Days, Holder shall
not convert any portion of this Debenture (or sell any shares of Common Stock
received upon prior conversions of this Debenture) for a period of 20
consecutive Trading Days beginning immediately after such five-Trading Day
period. If the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately following such 20-Trading Day Period is equal to or less than U.S.
$1.00, then the Issuer shall have the right, for a period of thirty (30) days
thereafter, to redeem all or a portion of this Debenture (plus all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon) at a price equal to 120% of the Conversion Amount and
Holder may not convert any portion of this Debenture during such 30-day period;
provided that if this Debenture has not been redeemed during such 30-day period,
then the restrictions under this Section 5.2 shall no longer be applicable.
(b) If the Issuer elects to redeem any or all of this
Debenture pursuant to this Section 5.2, the Issuer shall mail, in the manner
prescribed in Section 9 hereof, a notice of redemption (an "Issuer Notice") to
the Holder.
The notice shall identify the principal amount to be redeemed
and shall state:
1. the redemption date;
2. the redemption price (including the amount of accrued
interest to be paid); and
3. that interest on the portion of this Debenture to be
redeemed ceases to accrue on and after the redemption
date.
If the Issuer elects to redeem a portion of this Debenture,
the Issuer shall deliver to the Holder a new Debenture equal in principal amount
to the unredeemed portion of this Debenture.
Section 5.3. Redemption. At any time prior to the Maturity
Date, upon 30 days prior written notice, the Issuer may redeem for cash all or a
portion of this Debenture plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at a
redemption price (the "Redemption Price") of 120% of the Conversion Amount. If
the Issuer elects to redeem any or all of this Debenture pursuant to this
Section 5.3, the Issuer shall mail to the Holder in the manner provided in
Section 9 an Issuer Notice. For greater certainty, the Issuer acknowledges and
agrees that the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Debenture in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, at any time prior to the
11
<PAGE>
Redemption Date notwithstanding that the Issuer may have issued an Issuer Notice
under this Section 5.3.
Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, upon notice
having been given as provided in this Section 5.3, this Debenture shall
thereupon become due and payable at the Redemption Price and on the Redemption
Date in the same manner and with the same effect as if it were the Maturity Date
specified in this Debenture, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, and from and after the Redemption Date, if the monies necessary to
redeem this Debenture shall have been paid to the Holder, such principal amount
of this Debenture being redeemed shall not be considered as outstanding
hereunder and interest upon such principal amount shall cease to accrue after
such Redemption Date.
Section 5.4. Fractional Shares. Upon the conversion of this
Debenture pursuant to this Section 5, no fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued. With respect to any fraction of a share
called for upon the conversion or redemption of this Debenture or any portion
hereof, a cash amount equal to the then current market price of such fraction
shall be paid to Holder. The current market price of a share of Common Stock is
the closing price of the Common Stock on a recognized stock exchange on the last
Trading Day prior to the conversion date or Redemption Date. In the absence of
such a listing or quotation, the Issuer shall determine the then current market
price as it considers appropriate, acting reasonably.
Section 5.5. Reservation of Shares. The Issuer shall at all
times while this Debenture remains outstanding, reserve and keep available out
of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of this Debenture, such number of shares of Common
Stock as shall be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Debenture.
If, at any time, the Issuer does not have available out of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, Common Stock necessary to
satisfy the conversion of the principal amount of this Debenture and all accrued
but unpaid interest then outstanding, the Issuer shall call and hold a meeting
within 60 days of such occurrence, for the sole purpose of considering a
resolution to increase the authorized capital of the Issuer to provide for the
shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy such conversion. The Issuer shall
use its best efforts to cause all directors and officers of the Issuer to vote
any and all shares of the Issuer held by such persons in favor of such
resolution. If such resolution is not approved by the shareholders of the
Issuer, then such failure to approve shall be deemed to be an Event of Default
as contemplated in Section 3.1 hereof.

Section 6. Restrictions Upon Transferability and Registration
Requirement. This Debenture has not been registered under the Securities Act,
and may not be offered, sold, pledged, hypothecated, assigned or transferred
except (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, or
(ii) pursuant to a specific exemption from registration under the Securities Act
but only upon a holder hereof first having obtained the written opinion of U.S.
counsel to the Issuer, that the proposed disposition is consistent with all
applicable provisions of the Securities Act as well as any applicable "blue sky"
or other state securities law in the United States of America. Furthermore, no
transfer of this Debenture shall be effected until, and a transferee shall
succeed to the rights of the Holder only upon, registration of the transfer by
the Issuer in the Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a
Holder as provided herein, the Issuer (and any agent of the Issuer) shall treat
the person in whose name this Debenture is registered as the owner thereof for
all purposes.
Section 7. Adjustments. (a) If any reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Issuer, or consolidation or merger
of the Issuer with another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in
which the Issuer is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), or the sale of all
or substantially all of its assets to another corporation in which the holders
of Common Stock are entitled to receive shares, other securities or property
(hereinafter a "Capital Reorganization") shall be effected, and if the Holder
exercises the right to convert this Debenture into shares of Common Stock after
the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, then the Holder shall
receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock to which it was
previously entitled upon conversion of this Debenture, the aggregate number of
shares, other securities or other property which the Holder would have been
entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the
effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number
of shares of Common Stock to which it was previously entitled upon conversion
pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, and in any such case appropriate provision shall
be made with respect to the rights and interests of Holder to the end that the
provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in
relation to any securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise
hereof. The Issuer shall not effect any such reorganization, consolidation,
merger or sale unless, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation
thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Issuer) resulting from
such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall
assume by written instrument executed and delivered to Holder, the obligation to
deliver to Holder such securities or property as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, Holder may be entitled to purchase or receive.
(b) If the Issuer subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or issues shares of
Common Stock (or securities convertible or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock) to holders of shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend or other
distribution, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision or
stock dividend, the Fixed Exchange
13
<PAGE>
Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately
reduced. If the Company combines or consolidates (by reverse stock split,
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) its shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for
effecting such combination, the Fixed Exchange Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination will be proportionately increased.
(c) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and
prior to the Maturity Date the Issuer shall fix a record date for the issuance
of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for, acquire or
purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common
Stock at a price per share or having a conversion or exchange price per share
less than the Fixed Exchange Price on such record date, the Fixed Exchange Price
shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the
price determined by multiplying the Fixed Exchange Price then in effect on such
record date by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date and the denominator of
which will be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after the
issuance of such rights, options or warrants, treating as outstanding the
maximum number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon
the exercise of such rights, options or warrants; such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and to the extent that any
such rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options
or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Fixed
Exchange Price shall be readjusted to the Fixed Exchange Price which would then
be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Fixed Exchange
Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of shares of Common
Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) actually issued
upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.
(d) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and
prior to the Maturity Date the Issuer shall fix a record date for the making of
a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of its outstanding
shares of Common Stock of (i) shares of any class other than Common Stock or
securities convertible into shares of Common Stock and other than Common Stock
or securities convertible into Common Stock distributed to holders of shares of
Common Stock pursuant to their exercise of options to receive dividends in the
form of such shares in lieu of dividends paid in the ordinary course on the
shares of Common Stock; or (ii) rights, options or warrants (excluding those
referred to in subsection (c) above); or (iii) evidence of its indebtedness; or
(iv) assets (excluding dividends paid in the ordinary course); then, in each
such case, the Fixed Exchange Price shall be adjusted immediately after such
record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Fixed
Exchange Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, (A) the numerator of
which will be (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price (as hereinafter
defined) of the shares of Common Stock on such record date, less (y) the fair
market value, as determined by the board of directors of the Issuer, acting in
good faith, which determination shall be conclusive) of such
14
<PAGE>
securities, indebtedness or property or other assets so issued or distributed;
and (B) the denominator of which will be the product of the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on such record and the Current Market Price of the
shares of Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and to the extent that such
distribution is not so made, the Fixed Exchange Price shall be readjusted to the
Fixed Exchange Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not
been fixed or to the Fixed Exchange Price which would then be in effect based
upon such shares, rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or
assets actually distributed, as the case may be; in clause (iv) of this
subsection (d) the term "dividends paid in the ordinary course" shall include
the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of
cash dividends paid in the ordinary course at the option of shareholders of the
Issuer.
(e) If any event occurs as to which in the reasonable opinion
of the Issuer, in good faith, the other provisions of this Section 7 are not
strictly applicable but the lack of any adjustment would not in the opinion of
the Issuer fairly protect the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with
the basic intent and principles of such provisions, or if strictly applicable
would not fairly protect the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with
the basic intent and principles of such provisions, then the Issuer shall
appoint a firm of independent certified public accountants (which may be the
regular auditors of the Issuer) of recognized national standing, which shall
give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the
basic intent and principles established in the other provisions of this Section
7, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the conversion rights of the Holder.
Upon receipt of such opinion, the Issuer shall forthwith make the adjustments
described therein.
(f) Whenever the Fixed Exchange Price shall be adjusted as
provided in Section 7 hereof, the Issuer shall forthwith file at each office
designated for the exercise of the conversion rights provided for herein, a
statement, signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice
President or Treasurer of the Issuer, showing in reasonable detail the facts
requiring such adjustment and the Fixed Exchange Price that will be effective
after such adjustment. The Issuer shall also cause a notice setting forth any
such adjustments to be sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the Holder
at its address appearing on the stock register.
(g) The Issuer shall not, by amendment of its charter or
through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Debenture, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of
Holder against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Issuer will not increase the par value, if any, of any shares
of stock receivable upon the conversion of this Debenture above the amount
payable therefor upon such conversion, and at all times will take all such
action as may be necessary or
15
<PAGE>
appropriate in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid
and non-assessable stock upon the conversion of this Debenture.
(h) For the purposes of Section 7 hereof:
(i) The adjustments provided herein are
cumulative and will be computed to the
nearest one-tenth of one cent and will be
made successively whenever an event referred
to in Section 7 occurs, subject to the
following subsections of this section.
(ii) No adjustment in the Fixed Exchange Price
will be required unless such adjustment
would result in a cumulative change of at
least 1% in the prevailing Fixed Exchange
Price; provided, however, that any
adjustments which, except for the provisions
of this subsection would otherwise have been
required to be made, will be carried forward
and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment.
(iii) No adjustment in the Fixed Exchange Price
will be required upon the exercise from time
to time of options under the Issuer's stock
option plans for directors, officers and
employees of the Issuer adopted by the
Issuer from time to time.
(iv) No adjustment in the Fixed Exchange Price
will be made in respect of any event
described in Section 7 hereof, other than
the events referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section 7, if the Holder is entitled to
participate in such event on the same terms,
mutatis mutandis, as if it had converted the
Debenture prior to the effective date or
record date of such event.
(v) For the purposes of this Section 7, "Current
Market Price" as at any date means the
average of the closing bid prices of the
Issuer's Common Stock for the 10 Trading
Days immediately preceding such date.
(vi) All subdivisions of this Section 7 are
intended to operate independently of one
another. If a series of transactions or
events occur that requires the application
of more than one subsection, all applicable
subsections shall be given independent
effect.
Upon each adjustment of the Fixed Exchange Price pursuant to
the provisions of Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Debenture shall
16
<PAGE>
be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Fixed Exchange Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of this Debenture at such Fixed Exchange Price
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the
adjusted Fixed Exchange Price.
Section 8. Representations and Warranties of the Issuer. The
Issuer hereby represents and warrants to the Holder and acknowledges that the
Holder is relying on such representations and warranties in entering into this
Debenture:
