Amounts drawn under the facility are subject to 9% pa interest. In consideration for the grant of the facility, the Company has agreed to pay the lender, 191010 Investments Limited, an entity which is affiliated with a current shareholder, a 1% commitment fee and issue 4,347,826 share purchase warrants exercisable at C$0.69 per common share for a two-year period.
The warrants are subject to an exercise limitation which limits the exercise to circumstances where the total holding of Torq voting securities owned or controlled by the lender and its joint actors, including any convertible securities exercisable within 60 days, to 9.99% of the Company’s then issued voting securities. Furthermore, 1,449,274 warrants are subject to the additional restriction that they may only be exercised pro rata to the extent the additional $2.5 million available under the credit facility is actually drawn.

The facility will be secured by a general security agreement and is subject to customary loan covenants. Completion of the credit facility is subject to execution of a definitive agreement and TSX Venture approval. There are no finder’s or broker’s fees.
