The Company has agreed to pay RFC a retainer of $15,000 per month, payable as to $7,500 in cash and the balance in common shares of the Company at the discounted market price of such shares (as determined in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) at each quarter end during the term of the engagement, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval of each share issuance. 7,840 common shares have been issued in respect of the first quarter and are subject to a hold period expiring September 1, 2007. Any subsequent quarterly share issuances will be subject to a hold period expiring 4 months and a day after the date of their issuance.

Pursuant to the engagement, the Company has also agreed, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, to pay RFC a success fee if the Company enters into and closes a merger, acquisition, sale, joint venture, asset sale, asset purchase or vend-in transaction otherwise than in the ordinary course of the Company’s business during the term of the engagement. Such success fee is to be based on a sliding scale with reference to the value of such a transaction to a maximum agreed amount. The Company has the option of paying up to 50% of the success fee in shares at the discounted market price of such shares.
