As security for the Facility, Golconda shall grant the lenders a first charge against its assets to rank pari passu with the first charge held by Lyncorp International Corp. The issuance of the Facility is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").

First "M" Investments Ltd. has advanced Golconda an unsecured loan in the amount of $300,000, which amount will be used by Golconda for general working capital purposes.
