The Underwriters will also receive broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") equal to 5% of the Offered Securities sold pursuant to the Offering. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common, non-flow-through, share of the Company at a price of $1.15 until the date that is 12 months from the closing of the Offering.
