the Subscriber is purchasing the Convertible Debentures as principal for its own account, or for the account of a beneficial purchaser for which it is acting as fiduciary or agent, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to the resale of distribution of all or any of the Convertible Debentures in violation of United States federal or state securities laws;
(aa)
the Subscriber acknowledges that the Convertible Debentures, the Underlying Shares and the Interest Shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and therefore may not be offered or sold unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States or an exemption from such registration requirements is available, and the Subscriber therefore acknowledges and agrees that the Convertible Debentures, the Underlying Shares and the Interest Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, and may not be offered, sold, pledged

(bb)
the Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that upon the original issuance of the Convertible Debentures, and until such time as the same is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, the certificates representing the Convertible Debentures, the Underlying Shares and the Interest Shares may bear a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other legends required by applicable law:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE COMMON SHARES, IF ANY, ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE GOOD DELIVERY IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN CANADA.”

if the Subscriber is an “affiliate” of the issuer for purposes of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE HELD BY A PERSON WHO MAY BE DEEMED TO BE AN AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER FOR PURPOSES OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”).
