On March 31, 2020, PACE and the Company reached an agreement with respect to the repayment of the outstanding balances owing to PACE ((a), (b) and (c) above). One of the credit facilities, in the amount of $34,391 ($48,788 CAD), was repaid in full on April 3, 2020, as noted below and the remaining credit facilities and the corporate term loan are due on or before September 30, 2020. On April 3, 2020, the Company provided PACE with funds, held in trust on March 31, 2020, to bring the remaining credit facilities and the corporate term loan current. The funds remaining, which were held in trust on March 31, 2020 are to be used to satisfy the principal and interest payments on the noted debt partially, through August 2020. Included in prepaid expenses and deposits in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements is $50,797 ($69,224 CAD) relating to prepaid principal and interest payments. In addition, the letter of credit the Company has with PACE in favor of the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (the "MECP"), was renewed to September 30, 2020. On April 3, 2020, the shares previously pledged as security to PACE, were released and are currently held as security for the personal guarantee from the CEO and charge against the Haute leased premises. This long-term debt is considered to be in default as a result of defaults on the convertible promissory notes (see note 14). As a result, PACE may demand repayment before September 30, 2020.

(e) As a result of the COVID-19 virus, the Government of Canada launched the Canada Emergency Business Account (the "CEBA"), a program to ensure that small businesses have access to the capital they need to see them through the current challenges and better position them to quickly return to providing services to their communities and creating employment. The program is administered by Canadian chartered banks and credit unions.

On April 27, 2020, the Company received a total of $59,976 ($80,000 CAD) under this program, from its Canadian chartered bank.

Under the initial term date of the loans, which is detailed in the CEBA term loan agreements, the amount is due on December 31, 2022 and is interest-free. If the loans are not repaid by December 31, 2022, the Company can make payments, interest only, on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 5%, under the extended term date, beginning January 31, 2023, maturing December 31, 2025. In addition, if 75% of the loans are repaid by the initial term, December 31, 2022, the Company's Canadian chartered bank will forgive the balance. The CEBA term loan agreements contain a number of positive and negative covenants, for which the Company is not in full compliance.
