Mr. Kang has, for the past year, provided outsourced regulatory compliance and financial consulting services to the Company, working closely with Brian Cameron, Certive's CFO, and Peggy Turner, Certive's Controller. As the Company has matured and grown, so has the need to ensure that all regulatory filings and financial reporting functions are conducted in both a timely and efficient manner. Mr. Cameron's duties with the Company have recently expanded to include managing the Company's regional markets expansion, sourcing and managing opportunities for acquisitions, and overseeing all financing activities associated with Certive. It was therefore deemed timely and appropriate for the Company to seek additional support in compliance, filings, and financial administration.

Mr. Kang's familiarity with the affairs of the Company made him the ideal choice for the role of Director of Finance and Regulatory Compliance of Certive. Mr. Kang's experience in regulation and financing is extensive. For over 15 years, Mr. Kang served as the Director of Listings for the TSX Venture Exchange. Mr. Kang was responsible for overseeing all listings functions for junior issuers on the TSX Venture Exchange, as well as developing and implementing policies that were relevant to the financial climate in which issuers participated in the Canadian capital markets. Mr. Kang's background is ideally suited to Certive.

Mr. Kang's responsibilities will include, but not be limited to, the following matters:

• Continuous disclosure document preparation, review, and filing - working closely with legal counsel, Mr. Kang will be responsible for the timely preparation, review, and filing of reports of exempt distribution, financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, Canadian Securities Exchange monthly, quarterly, and annual forms, and the coordination of all accounting and audit functions with Peggy Turner and Brian Cameron;
• Preparation and review of all documents for near-term financings, including any offering memorandums to be prepared in connection with offering memorandum private placements to be conducted by the Company;
• Working closely with the Board of Directors of Certive to ensure that all governance matters are considered by the Board at regularly scheduled meetings and clearly reflected and defined in the Company's policies, as adopted by the Board.
