The Debentures mature on August 6, 2017 and bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum calculated and payable semi-annually. Each Debenture is convertible at the election of the holder into common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) at a price of $0.50 per Common Share, exercisable at any time prior to the maturity of the Debentures.

At any time after February 6, 2015, the Company has the right to force the conversion of the Debentures into Common Shares if the Common Shares trade at a price of at least $0.65 per Common Share for a period of at least 20 consecutive trading days. If the Common Shares do not trade on any trading day and the bid price of the Common Shares is $0.65 or greater, the Common Shares shall be deemed to have traded at a price of at least $0.65 on that trading day.

The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures, in whole or in part, (a) during the 12 months ending August 6, 2015, at a premium of 15% to the principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued interest, (b) during the 12 months ending August 6, 2016, at a premium of 5% to the principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued interest, (c) during the 12 months ending August 6, 2017, at a premium of 2% to the principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued interest.

The Debentures are subject to a hold period, and any Common Shares issued under the Debentures, are subject to a hold period expiring on February 6, 2014, subject to applicable laws and certain conditions.

Proceeds from the private placement will be used for the expansion of the Company’s sales force network, the purchase of inventory and working capital purposes.
