(CAD $100,000)
6% convertible bridge loan with a term to July 30, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”) to a director.

The conversion price of the note is equal to the twenty day moving average of the trading market price on the date of conversion (“variable conversion price”). The holder is entitled to the maximum allowable discount. As a top-up mechanism, on or before the maturity date, the Company is required to pay the holder $5,847. This top-up mechanism is payable in addition the
6% interest due on the note. In connection with the issuance of the bridge loan, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase
