Use of Proceeds:
In accordance with the GGCR Interim Funding Budget, which is to be unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of GGCR

Funding Term:
Interim Period, defined as the period beginning immediately after the closing of the Joint Venture and ending at the completion of the Public Listing process as defined in section 2.4 of the Joint Venture agreement
 
Funding Process:
Given the dynamic funding requirements of the Properties, as defined in the Joint Venture agreement, all funding needs under the Board approved GGCR Budget will be met by periodic request from any one or more members of the GGCR Board following which approval will be required from 75% of the GGCR Board.  In the event of a GGCR stalemate for more than 10 days, a decision may be made based on a majority vote and the parties acknowledge and agree that funds for the budget may be provided from BNP Paribas, Industrial Minerals, ABB, Firebird Management, individual directors, or other sources that have provided funding in the past.

At the Liquidity Event, the principal amount of the Notes will be repaid in full based on the value of the Notes at market (the “Market Value”) assuming a conversion value into new common shares of GGCR representing a value agreed to in section 2.5 of the Joint Venture agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, the value is 1% of the existing shares of JVC then held by GGC for each $784,314 of the Notes).  Except as provided for under the Cash Election in Section 2.5 of the Joint Venture agreement, the Notes may not be voluntarily converted by CRA into GGCR except by the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors of GGCR and otherwise will become due at the earlier of the Liquidity Event or Maturity, subject to Section 2.5 of the Joint Venture agreement
