The Convertible Debentures will have approximately a two-year term (the "Term"), with the principal amount being due to be repaid in full by the Company on January 31, 2026 (the "Maturity Date"). At any time during the Term, the Company will have the option to extend the Term by up to one additional year on payment of an extension fee to the holders of the Convertible Debentures (the "Holders") in the amount of six month's interest payable in Shares based on the greater of the Market Price and the 15-day VWAP or cash, at the Company's election, subject to Exchange approval.

In the event the Company announces a business combination and the 15-day VWAP of the Shares on the Exchange is greater than $0.07, the Company will have the right to require the Holders to convert the outstanding net principal amount into Shares at the Conversion Price by giving notice to the Holders by news release or other form of notice permitted by the Convertible Debentures that the Convertible Debentures will convert on the closing of the business combination.

Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Share at an exercise price of $0.15, for a period of 24 months (the "Expiry Time"), provided that, if after the later of four months from the date of issue and conversion, the closing price of the Shares on the Exchange is equal to or greater than $0.30 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company will have the right to accelerate the Expiry Time by giving notice to the holders of the Warrants by news release or other form of notice permitted by the certificate representing the Warrants that the Warrants will expire at 4:30 p.m. (Vancouver time) on a date that is not less than 15 days from the date notice is given.
