Each Unit will consist of: (i) one $250,000 unsecured convertible debenture (each, a “Debenture”), and (ii) 3,571,429 share purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”). Each Debenture will have a term of 24 months (the “Term”) and will bear interest at a rate of 7% per annum, payable in cash. At the option of the issuer, the principal amount of each Debenture may be converted, at any time during the Term, into common shares of the Company (each, a “Share”) at a price of $0.055 per Share. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Share at a price of $0.07 per Share at any time during the Term.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to fund its growth initiatives and for general working capital purposes.

The Company will pay a cash finder’s fee in connection with the closing of the Private Placement equal to 6% of the gross proceeds received from subscribers introduced to the Company by arm’s-length finders.

The Units will be offered by way of private placement pursuant to exemptions from prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. The securities underlying the Units issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to resale restrictions, including a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
