The Company will pay a finder's fee to certain eligible persons (each, a "Finder") for subscriptions to the private placement completed by qualified investors who have been introduced by such Finders. The Company will pay a cash finder's fee equal to, in the aggregate, 8% of the gross proceeds of any Units acquired by investors introduced to the Company by such Finders and will issue to such Finders, warrants (each, a "Finder's Warrant") equal to 8% of the aggregate number of Units sold under the Offering by such Finder. Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.10 for a period of 12 months from the date of closing of the Offering.
