• Any cash drawn will be subject to an annual interest rate of 6.0%; and
• The Loan Agreement will terminate on April 2, 2009 with any outstanding balance at that date becoming immediately repayable (if the proposed merger with Alliance occurs on or before April 1, 2009, then any outstanding debt will be treated as inter-company item and accordingly will be settled by way of elimination upon consolidation).
As of the date of this filing, we have not drawn any cash under the Loan
Agreement.
