Transaction Summary

The Transaction will be effected by way of GAC acquiring all of the common shares of LookNow through share exchanges which will result in LookNow becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of GAC. The Share Exchange Agreement contemplates the acquisition of shares of LookNow from the Majority Securityholders representing approximately 86% of the currently outstanding LookNow shares and offers to acquire the remaining shares from the minority shareholders on the same financial terms. The deemed value of the common shares of LookNow has been determined to be $0.2484 per share (the "LookNow Deemed Price") and is based on a fully diluted issued and outstanding share capital of 50,331,377 common shares of LookNow with an aggregate value of $12,500,000. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, GAC would issue 1.6272 GAC shares for each one (1) LookNow share (the "Exchange Ratio") subject to adjustment in certain events, with each GAC share having a deemed value of $0.1526. The Transaction is conditional upon the following matters occurring prior to, or in connection with, the completion of the Transaction:


   (a) the acquisition by GAC of all the issued and outstanding shares of
       LookNow;

   (b) the completion by LookNow of an arm's length brokered offering or
       private placement of LookNow shares for gross proceeds of not less
       than $1.5 million on terms acceptable to LookNow and GAC (the
       "Private Placement");

   (c) the resignation of all but one of the current directors of GAC and
       the appointment of Leighton Powell, Jay Brightman, Robert Houle and
       Alan Powell as directors of GAC;

   (d) the resignation of all of the current officers of GAC and the
       appointment of Leighton Powell as Chief Executive Officer and Allan
       Ringler as Chief Financial Officer of GAC;

   (e) the creation of an advisory committee to GAC for a period of one year
       after the closing on which one of Allan Ringler or George Duguay,
       current directors and officers of GAC, shall be entitled to be a
       member; and

   (f) subject to Exchange approval, the concurrent issuance of stock
       options of GAC to each of the eligible individuals currently holding
       stock options of LookNow on such terms and conditions, including
       exercise price, as are agreed to byLookNow, consistent with the stock
       option plan of GAC and as approved by the Exchange.

LookNow intends to engage a registered dealer to assist with the Private Placement however, an engagement agreement has not yet been entered into and the terms for the Private Placement have not yet been established. The proceeds from the Private Placement are intended to be used for the development of LookNow's marketing strategy to universities in North America. To the extent that the Private Placement price is less than the LookNow Deemed Price, the Exchange Ratio is to be adjusted downward proportionately.

Assuming completion of the Transaction and without giving effect to the Private Placement or any adjustment of the Exchange Ratio that may be required in connection therewith, the current LookNow shareholders would hold approximately 65,939,783 or 88.58% of the 74,439,783 GAC common shares that would be issued and outstanding and the current GAC shareholders would hold approximately 8,500,000 or 11.42% of the issued and outstanding GAC common shares.

The Transaction is to be completed on or before January 31, 2010. A $25,000 deposit has been provided by GAC to LookNow, which would be repayable if the Transaction is not completed.

The Transaction is an arm's length transaction as no related party of GAC has any interest in LookNow. Accordingly, the Transaction will not, as currently contemplated, be subject to approval by the shareholders of GAC.

GAC and LookNow confirm that there are no finder's fees or other similar fees payable to any person or party with respect to the Transaction.

GAC intends to apply to the Exchange for a waiver of the sponsorship requirements for the Transaction based upon the Private Placement and/or other exemptions available in Exchange policies.
