Each Class A special warrant will be convertible into one flow-through common share and one-quarter of one common share-purchase warrant. Each Class B special warrant will be convertible into one non-flow-through common share and one-half of one warrant. One warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at any time prior to 12 months from the earlier of receipt of a final prospectus qualifying the common shares and warrants issuable upon exercise of the Class A special warrants and Class B special warrants (collectively the securities) and 18 months following closing. On closing, the company will pay agents' fees comprised of: 6 per cent of the gross proceeds in cash; and options (the agents' options) to acquire, in total, a number of units (the agents' units), each agents' unit comprising one common share and one-half of one warrant, equal to the number of special warrants sold by the agents. The purchase price for the agents' units is $2.55 per agents' unit. The warrant to be issued upon the exercise of an agents' unit will have the same terms and conditions as the warrants to be issued to the investors. Fifty per cent of the net proceeds from the sale of the Class B special warrants and interest earned will be held in escrow until a receipt has been issued for a final prospectus qualifying the securities and the agents' options in each Canadian jurisdiction where purchasers of the special warrants reside (collectively the receipt). If the receipt has not been issued before 120 days after closing, the company will pay a penalty to the holders of the special warrants consisting of: (a) for each Class A special warrant, an additional one-quarter of one warrant, making the total entitlement one common share and one-half of one warrant; and (b) for each Class B special warrant, an additional 0.10 common share and an additional 0.05 warrant, making the total entitlement 1.1 common shares and 0.55 of one warrant.
