(a) by issuing Common Shares to Northwest, as follows:

(i) Common Shares with a value of $250,000 on the effective date of the Agreement;

(ii) additional Common Shares with a value of $500,000, on or before the date which is twelve (12) months from the effective date of the Agreement;

(iii) additional Common Shares with a value of $750,000, on or before the date which is twenty-four (24) months from the effective date of the Agreement; and

(iv) additional Common Shares such that Northwest holds 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares on the date prior to such issuance, on or before the date which is thirty-six (36) months from the effective date of the Agreement;
