2. Issuance of an aggregate of $3-million worth of common shares of Upside to West: 100,000 Upside shares at a deemed price of 20 cents per share, having an aggregate deemed value of $20,000 on Sept. 1, 2025; an additional $500,000 worth of shares on or before Jan. 20, 2026; an additional $980,000 worth of shares on or before Feb. 19, 2026; an additional $500,000 worth of shares on or before Jan. 20, 2027; and an additional $1-million worth of shares on or before Jan. 20, 2028).
