Each Warrant is subject to an accelerator clause whereby at the Company's option, the holder must exercise their Warrants within 14 calendar days in the event that Common Shares trade at or greater than a weighted average price of $0.45 per share for 15 consecutive trading days on the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company paid finder's fees of 6% in cash to certain introducing parties on the gross proceeds of the private placement attributable to the purchases made by purchasers introduced by such parties. Finder's fees totaling $63,300 have been paid with respect to the first tranche of the private placement.

Certain Common Shares and Common Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Warrants are subject to a four-month and one day hold period expiring on July 29, 2013.
