The warrants are subject to accelerated expiry in the event that the common shares of the Company trade on the TSX Venture Exchange at CAD$1.80 or more for a ten consecutive day period; 1) after the four month resale restricted period applicable to the Common Shares in Canada expires and 2) before the end of the initial 12 months of the term of the warrant. All securities issued in connection with the placement are subject to a hold period expiring on December 27, 2015.
