The Offering will be comprised of up to 23,000,000 units (the "Units") priced at $0.45 per Unit, each Unit being comprised of one Class A share in the capital of Orbite and one-half of one Class A share purchase warrant of Orbite (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant").

Orbite has retained MGI Securities Inc. (the "Agent") to act as placement agent and shall receive a cash compensation of 7% of the gross proceeds raised in addition to compensation options equal to 10% of the number of Units sold in the Offering. The Agent's compensation option will entitle the Agent to purchase one Unit at $0.45 per Unit at any time prior the second anniversary of the date of closing of the Offering.
The proceeds from the Offering will be used for working capital purposes. They are expected to contribute to the acceleration of Orbite's efforts towards the eventual establishment of a commercial-scale plant and the development of commercial applications.
The Offering will be made to "accredited investors" in the Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec and such other jurisdictions agreed upon by Orbite and the Agent.
