The Aircraft Security Agreement and the Promissory Note were entered into in connection with the purchase by Falcon Fifty of an aircraft in order to improve the efficiency of the Company's business operations and accelerate its business plan. Further information regarding this acquisition is available in a press release of the Company issued on September 22, 2009, which is available on SEDAR, and other continuous disclosure documents filed by the Company, including its annual audited financial statements and associated management's discussion and analysis filed on April 12, 2010 and the AIF. On September 21, 2009 Falcon Fifty entered into an aircraft security agreement in connection with the purchase of the aircraft whereby it granted to VFS Financing, Inc. a security interest in the Falcon 50 aircraft to assure payment and performance on any and all debts, obligations and liabilities to VFS Financing, Inc., including those arising under the September 21, 2009 promissory note executed to VFS Financing, Inc. (as summarized below).  Among other terms, Falcon Fifty is required to ensure that the aircraft will be operated, maintained, repaired and stored properly, carefully and in compliance with all applicable regulations, and Falcon Fifty agreed not to lease or charter the aircraft without the written consent of VFS Financing, Inc.   On September 21, 2009, Falcon Fifty executed a promissory note in favor of VFS Financing, Inc. in connection with the purchase of the aircraft.  The ten-year note is in the amount of $4,600,000 and bears a fixed interest rate of 7.17% per annum. The note is payable in one hundred and twenty consecutive monthly installments of $40,649.40 commencing November 1, 2009, with a balloon payment of $2,300,000 due with the final installment on November 1, 2019.  Falcon Fifty can prepay in full, but not in part, all amounts outstanding before they are due on any installment date upon at least 30 days prior written notice to VFS Financing, Inc.  Falcon Fifty is subject to a prepayment fee of up to 3% of the original principal balance, depending on the timing of the prepayment, for a prepayment made within the first two years of the date of the promissory note.  The promissory note also provides terms whereby Falcon Fifty can make partial prepayments, on not more than one occasion per year, subject to a prorated portion of any prepayment fee that would be due on a prepayment in full.  The Licensing Agreement and the Services Agreement have been filed to remedy the inadvertent non-filing of these documents at the time they were entered into.
