The Company is relying on the exemption from the formal valuation requirement pursuant to subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, for the issuance of the Consideration Shares, as the Consideration Shares are not listed on a specified market, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101 and the Company is relying on the exemption from obtaining minority shareholder approval pursuant to subsection 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Consideration Shares to be issued to the Insiders is not expected to exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company.

Operating Financing
