Each unsecured convertible subordinated debenture (a "Convertible Debenture") will mature on the third anniversary of its issuance and will pay interest at a rate of 10.25% per annum, payable monthly. Each Convertible Debenture will be convertible into Posera - HDX Common Shares at $0.45 per Posera - HDX Common Share until the second anniversary of its issuance date and at $0.60 per Posera- HDX Common Share thereafter until maturity.
