The Flow-Through Common Shares will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of closing of the Offering.

In consideration for their services, the Underwriters will receive a cash commission equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including any proceeds realized from the exercise of the Underwriters’ option.
