Terms of the Transaction

The Transaction is expected to be completed by way of a share exchange, amalgamation or other form of business combination determined with input from the legal and tax advisors to each of Shine Box and Ciscom, which will result in Ciscom becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shine Box.

Upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set out in the definitive transaction agreement to be entered into by Shine Box and Ciscom (the "Definitive Agreement"), the following, among other things, will be completed in connection with the Transaction:

• contemporaneous with the closing of the Transaction, Ciscom will complete the Initial Acquisition and, potentially, the Additional Acquisitions.

• the holders of common shares of Ciscom ("Ciscom Share"), including any former shareholders of the companies acquired through the Initial and Additional Acquisitions, will receive common shares of the Resulting Issuer in exchange for their Ciscom Shares on the basis of an exchange ratio of one Shine Box common share for every one Ciscom Share issued and outstanding as at the Closing (the "Exchange Ratio");

• all outstanding warrants and stock options of Ciscom either automatically adjust in accordance with the terms thereof such that following completion of the Transaction, the holders thereof shall acquire the common shares of Shine Box in lieu of the Ciscom Shares adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio, with the exercise prices adjusted by the inverse of the Exchange Ratio, or will be replaced with equivalent convertible or exchangeable securities of Shine Box entitling the holders thereof to acquire common shares of Shine Box in lieu of common shares of Ciscom adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio, and otherwise bearing the same terms of the securities they replace;

• the management and board of directors of the Resulting Issuer will be determined by Ciscom and announced in further press releases; and

• Shine Box will change its name to Ciscom Corp.

The Transaction constitutes an Arm's Length Transaction under the policies of the TSXV.

A more comprehensive news release will be issued by Shine Box disclosing details of the Transaction, including financial information respecting Ciscom and the companies to be acquired pursuant to the Initial and Additional Acquisitions and details of insiders and proposed directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer, once an agreement has been finalized and certain conditions have been met, including:

• approval of the Transaction by Shine Box's Board of Directors;

• satisfactory completion of due diligence; and

• execution of the Definitive Agreement.

Private Placement Financing

In connection with and as a condition to the Transaction, Ciscom intends to complete an equity financing through a non-brokered private placement of Ciscom Shares for minimum gross proceeds of $5,000,000 and maximum proceeds of $10,000,000 (the "Private Placement"). It is expected that the issue price per Ciscom Share will be a minimum of $0.25, determined by Ciscom in the context of the market. The Ciscom Shares will be sold to "accredited investors" and other exempt parties pursuant to exemptions from prospectus requirements under Canadian securities laws.

The Private Placement is intended to be completed prior to or concurrently with closing of the Transaction. The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to complete the Initial Acquisition, the Additional Acquisitions, future acquisitions, working capital and general corporate purposes.

Listing

An application will be made to TSXV to list the Resulting Issuer Shares on TSXV subject to all applicable shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Finder's Fee

Subject to approval of the TSXV, a finder's fee in either cash or securities of the Resulting Issuer of up to five percent (5%) of the value of Transaction will be paid to Arcana Inc. (2.5%) and Genco Management Inc. (2.5%).

Sponsorship of Transaction

Sponsorship of a qualifying transaction of a capital pool company is required by the TSXV unless exempt in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.
