Each Convertible Note issued under the Financing will be due and payable on the date that is 5 years from the date hereof (the “Maturity Date”), and will accrue simple interest at a rate of 13% per annum. The Company will make quarterly interest payments in cash in satisfaction of a portion of the interest that has accrued on the principal amount of the Convertible Notes in each quarter. Each quarterly interest payment will be equal to 50% of interest that has accrued onto the principal amount of each Convertible Note in each quarter. The principal amount of each Convertible Note outstanding on the Maturity Date plus all interest accrued thereon that has not been previously paid in connection with the quarterly interest payments will be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

On the Maturity Date, payment of the principal amount of each Convertible Note then outstanding will be satisfied, at the holder’s sole discretion, through either (i) a cash payment equal to the entirety of the principal amount of the Convertible Note then outstanding, (ii) the issuance of that number of common shares of the Company (each a “Common Share”) equal to the entirety of the principal amount of the Convertible Note then outstanding divided by CDN$0.55 (the “Conversion Price”), or (iii) a combination of a cash payment and the issuance of Common Shares at the Conversion Price subject to the requirement that at least 50% of the principal amount of a Convertible Note then outstanding must be converted into Common Shares.

On the Maturity Date, payment of all accrued and unpaid interest up to and including the Maturity Date that has not been previously satisfied by way of the quarterly interest payments will be satisfied, at the holder’s sole discretion, through either (i) a cash payment equal to the entirety of all accrued and unpaid interest up to and including the Maturity Date, (ii) the issuance of Common Shares at the then prevailing market price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), subject to prior written approval of the TSXV, or (iii) a combination of a cash payment and the issuance of Common Shares at the then prevailing market price of the Common Shares on the TSXV, subject to prior written approval of the TSXV.

Certain insiders of the Company have participated in the Financing and subscribed for approximately US$800,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. Such participation represents a related-party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), but the transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of the transaction, nor the consideration paid, exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Financing for network expansion and customer acquisition, new unit capital expenditures, business operations and technology and for general corporate purposes.

All securities to be issued in connection with the Financing are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date hereof in accordance with applicable securities legislation in Canada.
