If necessary, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 6 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder so that the provisions set forth in this Article 6 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exchange of the Debenture. Any such adjustments shall be made by and set forth in a supplemental debenture approved by the [Directors] and the Holder and shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

-17-

(3)

The Holder of the Debenture of which part only is exchanged shall, upon the exercise of the right of exchange, surrender such Debenture to the Corporation, and the Corporation shall cancel the same and shall forthwith certify and deliver to the Holder a new Debenture in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted part of the principal amount of the Debenture so surrendered.

Section 6.2 Manner of Exercise of Right to Exchange for Common Shares.

The Holder may exercise its rights to exchange by sending to the Corporation at its principal address a notice exercising its right to exchange in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6. Upon receipt of the notice, the Holder shall receive, as soon as practicable thereafter, from the Corporation, a certificate or certificates representing the number of Common Shares into which the Debenture is exchangeable and, if applicable, a cheque for any amount payable under Section 6.5.

Section 6.3 Accrued Interest, etc.

At the time of the exchange, the Holder shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Debenture up to but excluding the date of such exchange. Common Shares issued upon such exchange shall rank only in respect of dividends declared in favour of shareholders of record on and after the date of exchange or such later date as the Holder becomes the holder of record of Common Shares pursuant to Section 6.2.

Section 6.4 Adjustment of Exchange Price.

(1)

The Exchange Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as in this Section 6.4 provided.

(2)

If and whenever BMG shall (i) subdivide or redivide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, (iii) issue any Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend (other than any stock dividends constituting dividends paid in the ordinary course), or (iv) the Corporation shall issue Common Shares at any time that this Debenture is outstanding at a price per Common Share (inclusive of commission or underwriting fee) of less than $0.50, the number of Common Shares which may be acquired pursuant to Section 6.1 on the date of the subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for the issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend, or on the date any such sale of Common Shares is completed, as the case may be, shall be increased, in the case of the events referred to in (i), (iii) and (iv) above, in the proportion which the number of Common Shares outstanding before the subdivision, redivision or dividend bears to the number of Common Shares outstanding after the subdivision, redivision or dividend, or shall be decreased, in the case of the events referred to in (ii) above, in the proportion which the number of

-18-

Common Shares outstanding before the reduction, combination, or consolidation bears to the number of Common Shares outstanding after the reduction, combination or consolidation. Any issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date fixed for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under this Section 6.4(2).

(3)

In the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Common Shares other than a subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation, or issue of Common Shares at a price that is lower than $0.50 per Common Share, the number of Common Shares which may be acquired pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be adjusted in such manner as the Corporation, with the approval of the Holder, determines to be appropriate on a basis consistent with this Section 6.4.

(4)

The Corporation shall give the Holder not less than 30 days written notice prior to the record date of any proposed dividend or other distribution to holders of Common Shares.

(5)

If any question arises with respect to the adjustments provided in this Section 6.4, such question shall be conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants (who may be the Corporation’s Auditors) appointed by the Corporation and acceptable to the Holder. Such chartered accountants shall be given access to all necessary records of the Corporation and their determination shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Holder.

Section 6.5 No Requirement to Deliver Fractional Shares.

The Corporation shall not be required to deliver fractional Common Shares upon the exchange. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Article 6, be deliverable upon the exchange of the Debenture, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering any certificate of fractional interest, satisfy the fractional interest by paying to the Holder an amount of lawful money of the United States of America equal (computed to the nearest whole cent, and one-half of a cent being rounded up) to the principal amount of the Debenture remaining outstanding after so much of the principal amount as may be converted into a whole number of Common Shares has been so converted.

Section 6.6 Certificate as to Adjustment.

The Corporation shall, from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or re-adjustment as provided in Section 6.4, deliver a Certificate of the Corporation to the Holder specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the necessary adjustment 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 chartered accountants (who may

-19-

be the Corporation’s Auditors) appointed by the Corporation and acceptable to the Holder and, when approved by the Corporation, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest.

Section 6.7 Notice of Special Matters.

The Corporation shall give notice to the Holder, in the manner provided in Article 9, of any intention of BMG made known to it to fix a record date for any event mentioned in Section 6.4 which may give rise to an adjustment in the number of Common Shares which may be acquired pursuant to Section 6.1, and, in each case, the notice shall specify the particulars of the event and the record date and the effective date for the event; provided that the Corporation shall only be required to specify in the notice such particulars of the 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 14 days prior to the applicable record date.

Section 7.4 Notice of Redemption.

Notice of redemption of the Debenture shall be given to the Holder by the Corporation not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the applicable Redemption Date, in the manner provided in Section 10.5. Such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Debenture, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and the place of payment and shall state that interest upon the principal amount of the Debenture shall cease to be payable from and after the Redemption Date and that the right, if any, to convert the principal of the Debenture to be so redeemed will terminate and expire at 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date unless the Corporation shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price for the Debenture.

Section 7.5 Payment of Redemption Price.

Upon notice being given in accordance with Section 7.4, the Redemption Price in respect of the Debenture shall be and become due and payable on the Redemption Date and with the same effect as if it were the Maturity Date specified in such Debenture, anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding and, from and after such Redemption Date, if the moneys necessary to redeem the Debenture shall have been deposited as hereinafter provided interest upon the principal amounts so becoming due and payable shall cease to accrue and the Debenture shall not be considered as outstanding hereunder.

Section 7.6 Cancellation of Retired Debenture.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 as to where the Debenture is redeemed in part, the Debenture redeemed in whole or in part under the provisions of this Article 7 shall be forthwith delivered to and cancelled by the Trustee.
