Each Convertible Note plus accrued interest can be converted into shares at any time prior to redemption by the Note Holder at a Conversion Price of $0.55. (For example, on 19 March 2009 one Convertible Note can be converted into 3.64 shares, ignoring the effect of withholding taxes and other deductions. Note Holders may elect to reimburse Evergreen Forests for these taxes and other deductions, thus enabling the Note Holders to obtain full entitlement to 3.64 shares on conversion.) |
