The Debentures will be repaid over a period of three (3) years from the last day of the month following the month of issuance of the Debentures and interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance at a rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly, with the first payment being made on the last day of the month following the month of issuance of the Debentures. The Company will repay the principal amount in thirty (30) equal monthly instalments with the first payment being made on the last day of the 7th month following the month of issuance of the Debentures.

Subject to applicable regulatory approval, purchasers of Debentures will also receive 250,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") (for each Debenture purchased), entitling the holder to acquire 250,000 common shares in the capital of the Company for a period of three (3) years from the issue date at an exercise price as follows (i) on or before the first anniversary of the issue date at a price of CDN$0.10 per share; (ii) from the first anniversary of the issue date to the second anniversary of the issue date at a price of CDN$0.15 per share; and (iii) from the second anniversary of the issue date to the third anniversary of the issue date at a price of CDN$0.25 per share.
