All references to “$” in this Schedule A are to Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

 

PLEASE PLACE AN “X” AGAINST THE APPROPRIATE CATEGORY OR CATEGORIES BELOW:

 

[  ] (a) (i) except in Ontario, a Canadian financial institution, or a Schedule III bank, or (ii) in Ontario, a financial institution described in paragraph 1, 2 or 3 of subsection 73.1(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario);

[  ] (c) (i) except in Ontario, a person registered under the securities legislation of a jurisdiction of Canada as an adviser or dealer, or (ii) in Ontario, a person or company registered under the securities legislation of a province or territory of Canada as an adviser or dealer, except as otherwise prescribed by the regulations in respect of the Securities Act (Ontario);
     
[  ] (d) an individual registered under the securities legislation of a jurisdiction of Canada as a representative of a person referred to in paragraph (c)(i);
     
[  ] (e.1) an individual formerly registered under the securities legislation of a jurisdiction of Canada, other than an individual formerly registered solely as a representative of a limited market dealer under one or both of the Securities Act (Ontario) or the Securities Act (Newfoundland and Labrador);
     
[  ] (e) (i) except in Ontario, the Government of Canada or a jurisdiction of Canada, or any crown corporation, agency or wholly-owned entity of the Government of Canada or a jurisdiction of Canada, or (ii) in Ontario, the Government of Canada, the government of a province or territory of Canada, or any Crown corporation, agency or wholly owned entity of the Government of Canada or of the government of a province or territory of Canada;
     
[  ] (f) (i) except in Ontario, a municipality, public board or commission in Canada and a metropolitan community, school board, the Comité de gestion de la taxe scolaire de l’île de Montréal or an intermunicipal management board in Québec, or (ii) in Ontario, a municipality, public board or commission in Canada and a metropolitan community, school board, the Comité de gestion de la taxe scolaire de l’Île de Montréal or an intermunicipal management board in Quebec;

 

 A-1 
 

 

[  ] (g) (i) except in Ontario, any national, federal, state, provincial, territorial or municipal government of or in any foreign jurisdiction, or any agency of that government, or (ii) in Ontario, any national, federal, state, provincial, territorial or municipal government of or in any foreign jurisdiction, or any agency of that government;
     
[  ] (h) (i) except in Ontario, a pension fund that is regulated by either the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada), a pension commission or similar regulatory authority of a jurisdiction of Canada, or (ii) in Ontario, a pension fund that is regulated by either the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada) or a pension commission or similar regulatory authority of a province or territory of Canada;
     
[  ] (i) an individual who, either alone or with a spouse, beneficially owns financial assets having an aggregate realizable value that, before taxes but net of any related liabilities, exceeds $1,000,000;
     
    Note: Financial assets include cash and securities, but do not include a personal residence – see the definition of “financial assets” below. Financial assets are generally liquid or relatively easy to liquidate. You must subtract any liabilities related to your financial assets to calculate your net financial assets—see the definition of “related liabilities” below. In the case where financial assets are held in a trust or in another type of investment vehicle for the benefit of an individual there may be questions as to whether the individual beneficially owns the financial assets. The following factors are indicative of beneficial ownership of financial assets: (i) physical or constructive possession of evidence of ownership of the financial asset; (ii) entitlement to receipt of any income generated by the financial asset; (iii) risk of loss of the value of the financial asset; and (iv) the ability to dispose of the financial asset or otherwise deal with it as you see fit. For example, securities held in a self-directed RRSP, for your sole benefit, are beneficially owned by you. In general, financial assets in a spousal RRSP would also be included for the purposes of the financial assets test in this paragraph (j); however, financial assets held in a group RRSP under which you do not have the ability to acquire the financial assets and deal with them directly are not considered to be beneficially owned by you. If you meet the higher financial asset threshold set out in paragraph (j.1) as an individual exclusive of your spouse, then place an “X” at paragraph (j.1) instead of this paragraph (j). If the Subscriber is relying on this category of “accredited investor” to purchase Units, the Subscriber must also complete in duplicate Schedule B to the Subscription Agreement.
     
    Please provide the following information to the best of your knowledge based on the most recent information available to you:

 

    Aggregate realizable value of financial assets before taxes $ ___________________
       
    Related Liabilities $ ___________________

 

[  ] (j.1) an individual who beneficially owns financial assets having an aggregate realizable value that, before taxes but net of any related liabilities, exceeds $5,000,000;
     
    Note: See the definition of “financial assets” below and the guidance in paragraph (j) above. The financial assets of your spouse (including financial assets in a spousal RRSP) cannot be included in the calculation of net financial assets under this paragraph (j.1).
     
    Please provide the following information to the best of your knowledge based on the most recent information available to you:

 

  Aggregate realizable value of financial assets before taxes $ __________________
     
  Related Liabilities $ __________________

 

 A-2 
 

 

[  ] (j) an individual whose net income before taxes exceeded $200,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years or whose net income before taxes combined with that of a spouse exceeded $300,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years and who, in either case, reasonably expects to exceed that net income level in the current calendar year
     
    Note: If the Subscriber is relying on this category of “accredited investor” to purchase Units, the Subscriber must also complete in duplicate Schedule B to the Subscription Agreement.

[  ] (k) an individual who, either alone or with a spouse, has net assets of at least $5,000,000;
     
    Note: To calculate net assets, take the value of your total assets (which may include a personal residence) and subtract your total liabilities (which may include a mortgage). The value attributed to assets should reasonably reflect their estimated fair value. Income tax should be considered a liability if the obligation to pay it is outstanding at the time of the distribution of these securities. If the Subscriber is relying on this category of “accredited investor” to purchase the Units, the Subscriber must also complete in duplicate Schedule B to the Subscription Agreement.
     
    Please provide the following information by subtracting your total liabilities from your total assets (for example, the value your personal residence minus the related liabilities, such as a mortgage) and note that the value attributed to assets should reasonably reflect their estimated fair value and income tax should be considered a liability if the obligation to pay it is outstanding at the time of the distribution:

 

    Total Assets $ _________________________________
       
Minus -   Total Liabilities $ _________________________________
    (incl. outstanding taxes)  
       
Equals =   Net Assets $ _________________________________
