U.S. - Accredited Investor

 

(e) it understands and acknowledges that the Common Shares have not been and
will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any state of the
United States and that:

 

  (i) the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance upon the exemption
from registration under the U.S. Securities Act provided by section 4(2) thereof
and exemptions from registration under applicable state securities laws; and

 

  (ii) all such sales are being made in transactions not involving any public
offering within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act. Accordingly, the Common
Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 144, and therefor may not be offered
or sold by it, directly or indirectly, in the United States without registration
under United States federal and state securities laws, except in compliance with
(i) below; and

 

(f) it is an institution or an individual that is an “Accredited Investor”, as
that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (5), (6) or (7) of Regulation
D under the U.S. Securities Act as set out in Exhibit ”1” attached hereto and
which is incorporated herein; and

 

(g) it is acquiring the Common Shares for its own account or for the account of
another Accredited Investor with respect to which it exercises sole investment
discretion; and

 

(h) it is purchasing Common Shares having an aggregate acquisition cost of not
less than CDN $97,000 and if it is a corporation, syndicate, partnership or
other form of unincorporated organization, it pre-existed the offering of the
Common Shares and has a bona fide purpose other than investment in the Common
Shares, or, if created to permit such investment, the individual share of the
aggregate acquisition cost for each participant is not less than CDN $97,000;
and

 

(i) it agrees that it will not offer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer the Common Shares except in compliance with applicable Canadian laws
and regulations as applicable and: (A) to the Corporation, (B) outside the
United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S.
Securities Act, or (C) inside the United States in a transaction exempt from
registration under the U.S. Securities Act and, in any event, in compliance with
any applicable state securities laws of the United States; it understands that
the Common Shares will bear a legend to the foregoing effect and that prior to
any transfer pursuant to the foregoing clause (C), the Corporation will require
an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to it, that such transfer is exempt from
registration under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws;
it understands and acknowledges that the certificates for the Common Shares and
any certificates issued in replacement thereof or exchange therefore shall have
been endorsed thereon a legend reflecting such restrictions on transfer; it
understands and acknowledges that the Corporation is not obligated to file and
has no present intention of filing with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission or with any state securities administrator any registration
statement in respect of resales of the Common Shares in the United States; and

 

(j) it further acknowledges that because the subscription is being made pursuant
to exemptions from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable
securities law:

 

  (i) its ability to enforce civil liabilities under the United States federal
securities laws may be affected adversely by, among other things: (1) the fact
that the Corporation is organized under the laws of Canada; (2) some or all of
its directors and its officers may be residents of Canada, and (3) all or
substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation and said persons may be
located outside the United States;

 

  (ii) it may not receive information that might otherwise be required to be
provided to the Subscriber under the applicable securities laws if the
exemptions were not being used; and

otherwise apply under the applicable securities laws if the exemptions were not
being used; and

U.S. - Accredited Investor

 

(k) it acknowledges that it has not purchased the Common Shares as a result of
any general solicitation or general advertising, as such terms are defined in
Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act, including without limitation,
advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media, or broadcast over radio or television, or
any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation
or general advertising; and

 

(l) it understands that the investment in the Common Shares may have tax
consequences under the laws of the United States and of Canada and that it is
the sole responsibility of the Subscriber to determine and assess such tax
consequences as may apply to its particular circumstances; and

 

(m) if an individual, it is of the full age of majority and is legally competent
to execute this Subscription Agreement and take all action pursuant hereto; and

 

(n) this Subscription Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed
and delivered by and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of the Subscriber; and

 

(o) if a corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity,
it has the legal capacity and competence to enter into and be bound by this
Subscription Agreement and further certifies that all necessary approvals of
directors, shareholders or otherwise have been given and obtained; and

 

(p) the entering into of this Subscription Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby will not result in a violation of any of the terms and
provisions of any law applicable to it, or any of its constating documents, or
of any agreement to which the Subscriber is a party or by which it is bound; and

 

(q) it has such knowledge in financial and business affairs as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment and it, or, where it is not
purchasing as principal, each beneficial purchaser, is able to bear the economic
risk of loss of its investment; and

 

(r) it understands and acknowledges that the Corporation: (i) is under no
obligation to be or to remain a “foreign issuer”; (ii) may not, at the time it
sells such securities or at any other time, be a “foreign issuer”; and (iii) may
engage in one or more transactions which could cause the Corporation not to be a
“foreign issuer”. If the Corporation is not a “foreign issuer” at the time of
any sale pursuant to Rule 904 of Regulation S, the certificate delivered to the
purchaser will, if required under the U.S. Securities Act, bear the legend
referred to in paragraph (i) above and may not constitute “good delivery” in
settlement of a trade on stock exchanges in Canada; and

 

(s) it is aware that no securities commission or similar regulatory authority
has reviewed or passed on the merits of the Common Shares; that there is no
government or other insurance covering the Common Shares; that there are risks
associated with the purchase of the Common Shares; that there are restrictions
on the Subscriber’s ability to resell the Common Shares and it is the
responsibility of the Subscriber to find out what those restrictions are and to
comply with them before selling the Common Shares; that the Corporation has
advised the Subscriber that the Corporation is relying on an exemption from the
requirements as to the filing of a prospectus, to provide the Subscriber with a
prospectus and as to the delivery of an offering memorandum, as well as to sell
securities through a person or company registered to sell securities under the
Securities Act (Alberta) and, as a consequence of acquiring securities pursuant
to this exemption, certain protections, rights and remedies provided by the
Securities Act (Alberta), including statutory rights of rescission or damages,
will not be available to the Subscriber, that it may not receive information
that might otherwise be required to be provided to the Subscriber under
applicable securities laws if the exemption were not being used; and that the
Corporation is relieved from certain obligations that would otherwise apply
under the applicable securities laws if the exemption were not being used; and

 

(t) if required by applicable securities legislation, regulations, rules,
instruments, policies or orders or by any securities commission, stock exchange
or other regulatory authority, the Subscriber will execute, deliver, file and
otherwise assist the Corporation in filing, such reports, undertakings and other
documents with respect to the issue of the Common Shares as may be required

undertaking required by The Toronto Stock Exchange and the Certificate of
Accredited Investor, copies of which are attached hereto); and

 

(u) it does not act jointly or in concert with any other Subscriber for Common
Shares for the purposes of the acquisition of the Common Shares; and
