In consideration for its services, the Company paid to the Agent a cash fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Brokered Financing, and granted to the Agent compensation options (the "Compensation Options") equal to 8% of the number of units sold under the Brokered Financing.  Each Compensation Option entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of Cdn$1.00 for a period of two years from the date of issuance of the Compensation Option.
