If approved by the TSXV, the Advance will be made by Dash to SSC on customary terms and conditions for a secured loan of this nature.

Concurrent Financing of SSC

SSC plans to conduct a brokered private placement financing (the "Concurrent Financing") of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") in connection with the Transaction. Each Subscription Receipt is expected to entitle its holder to receive, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipts, one common share of SSC ("SSC Share") immediately prior to closing of the Transaction. SSC will provide further details in respect of the Concurrent Financing in due course by way of press release.

Post-Closing Capitalization

Under the proposed Transaction, each SSC Share, each common share purchase warrant of SSC ("SSC Warrant") and each stock option of SSC ("SSC Option") will be exchanged for one post-consolidation common share of Dash upon completion of the Transaction (the "Resulting Issuer"), one common share purchase warrant of the Resulting Issuer ("Resulting Issuer Warrant") and one stock option of the Resulting Issuer ("Resulting Issuer Option"), respectively.

Pursuant to the Amending Agreement, if the price per Subscription Receipt (the "Financing Price") issued under the Concurrent Financing is less than $0.30, the consolidation ratio of common shares of Dash will be adjusted from 3:1 to 2.5:1. Further, if the Financing Price is less than $0.25, the number of Resulting Issuer Shares, Resulting Issuer Warrants and Resulting Issuer Options to be issued for each SSC Share, SSC Warrant and SSC Option, respectively, will be decreased on a pro rata basis based on the percentage that the Financing Price is less than $0.25.
