The expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated, at the option of the Company, if the closing price of the Common Shares on a Canadian stock exchange exceeds $0.20 for a period of twenty consecutive trading days commencing on the date that is four months and one day after the closing of the Financing by giving notice to the holders thereof, in which case the Warrants will expire on the thirtieth day after the date on which such notice is given by the Company.

All of the securities issued by the Company in connection with this financing are subject to a hold period of 4 months from the closing date of the offering.
