Each unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the company and one common share purchase warrant.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 (Prospectus Exemptions), the LIFE units are being made available to purchasers resident in each of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec, pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106. The securities offered under the listed issuer financing exemption will not be subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

The agent will also be entitled to offer the units for sale in the United States pursuant to available exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in those other jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States provided it is understood that no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arises in such other jurisdiction.

The company has granted the agent an option to arrange for the sale of up to an additional 15 per cent of the units, in any combination, at the offering price. The agent's option may be exercise in whole or in part at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing date, subject to the limitations prescribed by the exemption.
