Each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures will be issued 10,000 common share purchase warrants (each, a "Warrant").

The principal amount of the Debentures will be repaid, in cash, by the Company on the third anniversary of issuance ("Maturity") and will carry an interest rate of 12% per year compounded monthly and payable at Maturity.

Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance.

The Debentures will be secured by way of a general security agreement made in favour of a collateral agent acting as agent for all of the holders of the Debentures, granting a security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company will have the right to prepay any or part of the Debentures at any time prior to the Maturity Date by paying the principal amount of the Debentures.
