14.          
BOARD
REPRESENTATION

Board of Directors of the Borrower (the “Board”) will appoint Mr. Kopple
to the Board in accordance with section 14.8 of the Articles of the Borrower at
such time as Mr. Kopple determines in his sole discretion. Upon such
appointment, the Board will invite Mr. Kopple to act as Chairman of the Board.

14.2        
Additional Directors

The Borrower agrees that its Board will take such actions to
appoint up to two additional directors as put forward by the Lenders at any time

meeting following any such nomination made by the Lenders and to solicit proxies
for the election of such Lenders’ Nominees in conjunction with the other Board
nominees. The Lenders acknowledge that the 

7 

election of any such Lender’s Nominee is within the sole
discretion of the shareholders of the Borrower, however the failure of the
shareholders to approve the Lender’s Nominees will be a default under the Credit
Facility. The Borrower acknowledges that it is the intent of these provisions
that, to the extent approved by the shareholders of the Borrower and subject to
suitable nominations being made by the Lenders and the consent to act of any
Borrower’s Nominees, that a majority of the directors of the Borrower be

composed of at least three independent directors (as defined in National
Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees). 

15.           OTHER
CONDITIONS

15.1        
Private Placements 

The Borrower will use its reasonable commercial efforts to
raise, by way of one or more private placements of equity or subordinated debt,
an aggregate minimum net amount of US$2,200,000 by August 1, 2014; the proceeds
of which will be used to repay the Kopple LP Note and any accrued interest, if
still outstanding at such time.

15.2        
Shareholder Approvals 

The Borrower will hold its 2014 annual general meeting within
118 days from the Closing Date. At such meeting, in addition to the normal
business thereof, the Borrower will seek the approval of its shareholders of:
(i) any change of control which may result from any or all of the shares owned
or acquired by Mr. Kopple, the exercise by Mr. Kopple of his outstanding
options, and the Lenders exercising their warrants as presently held and which
will be granted hereunder; (ii) the grant of the Additional Warrants to the
Lenders referred to in Section 13 above; (iii) the proposed CAD 0.10 exercise
price for the Initial Warrants and the Additional Warrants, and (iv) an
amendment of Mr. Kopple’s incentive stock options (the “Stock Options”)
to preserve the Stock Options for a period of seven years from the grant thereof
in all events. 

16.          
REGULATORY ACCEPTANCE AND
APPROVAL

The Lenders acknowledge that the issuance of the Initial
Warrants and the Additional Warrants and the modification of the Stock Options
are subject to the acceptance for filing thereof by the TSX; and the Borrower
will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such acceptance as
expeditiously as possible.

      RE: 
	
      Facility Letter Dated December 5, 2013 (“Facility
      Letter”) with respect to USD 5,000,000 Line of Credit Facility from
      E.L. II Properties Trust (“Trust”) and Kopple Family Partnership,
      LP (“Kopple LP”) (collectively, the “Lenders”)

Each of the Lenders understands and agrees that neither the
common share purchase warrants to be received by the Lenders pursuant to the
Facility Letter (“Warrants”), nor the common shares which may be issued
upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) (collectively,
the “Securities”) have been nor will they be, registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the United States (“1933 Act”), or
applicable state securities laws, and the Securities are being offered and sold
by the Corporation to the Lenders in reliance upon the safe harbor exemption
from 1933 Act registration requirements set forth in Rule 506(b) of Regulation D
and pursuant to similar exemption under any applicable state securities laws.

Capitalized terms used in this certificate and defined in the
Facility Letter have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Facility Letter unless
otherwise defined herein. 

Each of the Lenders represents, warrants and covenants (which
representations, warranties and covenants shall survive the Closing) to and with
the Corporation (and acknowledges that the Corporation is relying thereon) that:

	 	(a) 	
      it is acquiring the Securities for its own account and
      not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution
      thereof, nor with the intention of distributing or reselling the same,
      provided, however, that by making the representation herein, it does not
      agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term
