The Slyce Common Shares into which the Subscription Receipts will convert will be exchanged for 20,000,000 Oculus Shares as part of the Amalgamation.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts were delivered to Olympia Trust Company and will be held in escrow pending the completion the Amalgamation. If the Amalgamation is completed on or before 5:00 p.m. on July 31, 2014, the net escrowed proceeds will be released to Slyce.

If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before 5:00 p.m. on July 31, 2014, or the Amalgamation Agreement is terminated at an earlier time or if Slyce or Oculus has advised the Agents or announced to the public that it does not intend to proceed with the Amalgamation (each a "Termination Event"), holders of Subscription Receipts will receive a cash payment equal to the offering price of the Subscription Receipts and any interest that was earned thereon during the term of the escrow.

In connection with the Financing, Slyce agreed to pay the Agents a commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised by the Financing (the "Agents' Fee"). Fifty percent of Agents' Fee was paid on closing. The remaining 50% of the Agents' Fee is being held in escrow and will be released to the Agents upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions being satisfied. In the event a Termination Event occurs, the portion of the Agents' Fee held in escrow will be used to refund the offering price of the Subscription Receipts to the holders of the Subscription Receipts, and the total Agents' Fee to which the Agents are entitled will be limited to the portion already paid. In addition, Slyce has issued to the Agents broker warrants which entitle the Agents to receive, in connection with the Amalgamation, warrants to purchase 1,200,000 Oculus Shares, which warrants will be exercisable up to two years from the date of closing of the Financing at an exercise price of $0.60 per Oculus Share.
