In addition, the Agent received 280,000 Agent's warrants (the "Agent's Warrants") representing 7% of the Units sold. Each Agent's Warrant is exercisable at any time up to 18 months following the closing of the private placement at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Company in connection with the non-brokered private placement will pay finders fees of 5% of the gross proceeds and warrants representing 5% of the gross Units sold on a portion of the financing.
