Terms of the Transaction

The transaction was structured as a three-cornered agreement and plan of merger by and between the Company, Illuria and TSH (Delaware) Corp.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued former holders of Illuria securities 10 million common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.105 per share in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding securities of Illuria (the "Transaction Shares").

9,198,000 Transaction Shares are subject to a voluntary 36-month pooling agreement, whereby 10% will be released on the closing date and 15% released every six months thereafter. The release period may be accelerated if the Company becomes an established issuer, or the weighted average of the Common Shares of the company trade at or over $2.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days, or unanimous agreement by the Company and the holders of the Transaction Shares, or via the sole discretion of the CFO of the Company and one independent director of the Company.

On close of the Transaction, the Company has 86,999,224 common shares issued and outstanding. The Transaction Shares together with the Finders' Shares represent approximately 12.64% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares on closing the Transaction. No new control person was created as a result of the Transaction and the Transaction is not considered a Fundamental Change or Change of Business as defined by the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
