Each Unit consists of:

  1. $10,000 principal amount, 2 year term, 10% interest rate (the "Note") and,
  1. 50,000 warrants entitling the holder to purchase one common share ("Share") per warrant, at a price of $0.095 per Share for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The warrants are exercisable in whole and not in part.

Interest is payable on a semi-annual basis in cash or, at the holder's option, in shares of the Corporation to be issued at the Market Price of the securities on settlement date.

The holder of the Note will have the option of converting the outstanding principal of the Note, in whole and not in part, into shares of the Corporation at a price of $0.16 per share at any time until maturity of the Note. Any accrued interest on the principal of the Note, at the time of conversion, is payable in cash, or at the holder's option, in shares of the Corporation to be issued at the Market Price of the securities on settlement date.

After filing of the initial press release, dated February 25, 2014, announcing the Private Placement, the Corporation has updated the redemption clauses to include a condition related to weighted average price of the Corporation's shares prior to redemption. Under this modification, the Corporation may elect to redeem the outstanding principal of the Note if, at any time after the first anniversary of this Note, the weighted average price of the Corporation's common shares is equal to or higher than $0.16 ("Redemption Price") for 20 consecutive trading days, provided that the Redemption Price is equal or higher than the Market Price of the shares, at redemption date. Any accrued interest on the principal, at the time of redemption, is payable in cash. The Corporation must give notice, in writing, at least 30 days prior to redemption.

The proceeds of the private placement will be used for business development, product development and general corporate purposes.

In connection with this first tranche of the private placement, DIAGNOS will pay a commission of $39,900 to a broker representing 7% of money received from purchasers referred by the broker.

Any conversion or redemption of the outstanding principal of the Note into shares of the Corporation and any payment of interests in shares of the Corporation will be subject to prior TSX Venture Exchange approval.
