Conversion Privilege:  

The Debentures are convertible into Paramount Energy Trust units at the option of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of the maturity date, being the Initial Maturity Date or the Final Maturity Date, as applicable, and the business day immediately preceding the date specified by the Trust for redemption of the Debentures.  Holders converting their Debentures will receive accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the conversion.


Redemption:

The Debentures will not be redeemable on or before 2 years before the Maturity Date and after that date and prior to maturity, the Debentures may be redeemed, at the option of the Trust with 30 to 60 days notice. In addition to the redemption price, any accrued or unpaid interest at the date of redemption will also be paid.


Payment upon Redemption or Maturity:

On redemption or at the maturity date, the Trust may, at its option subject to regulatory approval and with 30 to 60 days notice, pay the applicable redemption price or the principle amount of the Debentures by issuing Trust Units.  The amount of Units issued will be determined by dividing the redemption price or the principle amount outstanding by 95% of the current market price on the date fixed for redemption or the maturity date.  No fractional Units will be issued but in lieu the Trust will satisfy fractional interests by a cash payment equal to the current market price of any fractional interest.
