United States Purchasers.  If the Subscriber is a U.S. Purchaser, it is purchasing the Subscriber’s Securities as principal and no other person, corporation, firm or other organization will have a beneficial interest in the Subscriber’s Securities, and the Subscriber:
(i)
is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (a “U.S. Accredited Investor”) and is purchasing the Subscriber’s Securities pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the rules and regulation promulgated thereunder (the “U.S. Securities Act”) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder, and has executed and delivered herewith a copy of Schedule C;

While reciprocal enforcement of judgment legislation exists between Canada and the United States, the Corporation may have defences available to avoid in Canada the effect of U.S. judgments under Canadian law, making enforcement difficult or impossible, and as such there is uncertainty as to whether Canadian courts would enforce (a) judgments of United States courts obtained against the Corporation predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal and state securities laws or (b) in original actions brought in Canada, liabilities against the Corporation predicated upon the United States federal and state securities laws.
