The Company, at its option, may raise such financing through in mezzanine debt financing, which may be satisfied by a subsequent placement of common stock of the Company at the Placement Price.


 


Each Unit is expected to consist of one share of common stock of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), each Warrant exercisable to acquire one share of common stock of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $0.25 per Warrant Share for a period of two (2) years.


 


C.  Upon completion of a sufficient portion of the Placement set forth in Section 1.B, the Company will advance Anadolun $200,000  in the form of the Bridge Loan, the proceeds of which will be used as set forth in Schedule A (the “Use of Proceeds”).
