Additionally, PI Financial Corp. has been added as a co-agent of the financing. The Corporation issued $0.7 million of Debentures on the first closing on December 28, 2012.

The Debentures will have a face value of $1,000 per Debenture, a maturity date of January 31, 2017 (the "Maturity Date"), and will be convertible into Common Shares at the option of the holder at a conversion price, subject to certain adjustments, of $0.70 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price"), being a conversion rate of 1,428.57 Common Shares for each $1,000 principle amount of Debentures. The Debentures will accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on January 31, and July 31 of each year commencing July 31, 2013. The July 31, 2013 interest payment will represent accrued interest for the period from the closing date. The Debentures will not redeemable before January 31, 2016. On or after January 31, 2016 and prior to the Maturity Date, the Corporation may, at its option, subject to providing not more than 60 and not less than 30 days prior notice, redeem the Debentures, in whole or, from time to time, in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest provided that the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX Venture") during the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading days preceding the date on which the notice of redemption is given is not less than 125% of the Conversion Price. The Debentures are direct, unsecured obligations of the Corporation, subordinated to other indebtedness of the Corporation for borrowed money and ranking equally with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness. Subject to specified conditions, the Corporation has the right to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, on maturity or redemption, through the issuance of Common Shares. The Corporation also has the option to satisfy its obligation to pay interest through the issuance and sale of additional Common Shares.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for working capital, to fund the optimization and maximization of fluid handling capacity at each of the Corporation's facilities, and for general corporate purposes.
