The Convertible Notes will be convertible by the Investor in whole or in part into Common Shares at a price equal to the closing price of the Company's shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") on the day preceding the submission of a conversion notice by the Investor, subject to a minimum price of CAD$0.05 per Common Share in accordance with the rules of the CSE. The Company may, at any time and at its sole option, redeem the outstanding Convertible Notes at 110% of the principal amount thereof upon 10 trading days' notice prior to such redemption and during which the Investor shall be entitled to convert the Convertible Notes.

As of the date of this news release, and the closing of the first Tranche of Convertible Notes, the Company shall pay to the Investor, a commitment fee ("Commitment Fee") of CAD$240,750 (being 4.5% of the total principal amount of CAD$5,350,000), to be paid, at the election of the Investor, in the form of cash, in the form of convertible notes substantially in the form of the Convertible Notes or any combination of the two having an initial principal amount equal to the amount of the Commitment Fee. For greater clarity, all references herein to "Convertible Notes" and the conversion of Convertible Notes into Common Shares shall include the convertible promissory notes issuable in connection with the Commitment Fee and the Common Shares issuable upon valid conversion thereof, respectively.
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company has agreed, among other things to not, proceed with similar types of financings until the earlier of (a) the date which falls twelve months from the date of the Subscription Agreement, and (b) the termination date of the Subscription Agreement.
