financial and business matters that she is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
prospective investment.




               (f) The Subscriber is a director of the Corporation and the Subscriber is
voluntarily participating in the purchase of the Securities.




               (g) The Subscriber has the full right, power and authority to enter into this
