The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsisidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Credit Facility is secured by all existing personal and real property of the Borrower and the Guarantors, and the equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Credit Facility matures in four years and bears a 15% annual interest rate. In the event that the Borrower prepays all or any portion of the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility prior to the second anniversary of the Loan Agreement, the Borrower will be obligated to pay a prepayment premium equal to 7.5%. In the event that the Borrower prepays all or any portion of the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the Loan Agreement (but prior to maturity), the Borrower will be obligated to pay a prepayment premium equal to 3.5%. After the third anniversary of the Loan Agreement, the Borrower may prepay all or any portion of the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility together with all interest accrued thereon, without any premium, bonus, penalty or other charge.

The exercise price of each Fixed Share Warrant is US$3.15 and the exercise price of each Floating Share Warrant is US$3.01.
