The Debentures will bear interest at an annual rate of 7.75% payable semi-annually in arrears on April 30 and October 31 in each year, commencing October 31, 2011. The maturity date of the Debentures will be April 30, 2016 (the "Maturity Date").

The Debentures will be convertible upon certain specified events including at the holder's option at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the business day immediately preceding the date specified by the Company for redemption of the Debentures into common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") at a conversion price of $0.50 per Common Share, being a conversion rate of 2000.000 Common Shares for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures.
