Related Party Transaction

Michael Kron, a director of the Company, purchased 100,000 Units at a price of $0.50 per Unit for a consideration of $50,000 (representing approximately 0.22% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company following the closing of the Private Placement). Immediately after the closing of the Private Placement, Mr. Kron owned, directly, 115,704 common shares of the Company, 50,000 Warrants and 10,000 stock options of the Company.

Mr. Kron is considered a "related party" and an "insider" of the Company for the purposes of applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules. The subscription and issuance of Units to Mr. Kron constitute a related party transaction, but is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as the Company's securities are not listed on any stock exchange identified in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and that the fair market value of the Units issued to Mr. Kron under the Private Placement, does not exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report with respect to the participation of Mr. Kron at least 21 days prior to the closing of the Private Placement as Mr. Kron's participation was not determined at that time.

Mr. Kron, a director of the Company, has disclosed his interest to the Board of the Directors of the Company pursuant to Section 132 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) to the effect that he may participate in the Private Placement and subscribe to Units. The terms of the Private Placement and the agreements relating thereto were submitted to and unanimously approved by way of a written resolution adopted by all the directors of the Company other than Mr. Kron. Mr. Kron did not vote on the resolution to approve the Private Placement and the agreements relating thereto.
