The Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States unless registered in accordance with United States federal securities laws and all applicable state securities laws or exemptions from such requirements are available;
5. during the 40 day distribution compliance period (as defined in Regulation S (the “Distribution Compliance Period”)), i.e. during the 40 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will not offer or sell any of the Shares in the United States of America or to a U.S. Person unless such Shares are registered under the U.S. Securities Act, and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States of America or an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Accordingly, during the Distribution Compliance Period, the Shares may only be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred: (a) to the Company; (b) outside the United States to, or for the account or benefit of, non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act; (c) in accordance with an available exemption from the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act; or (d) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act, and, in each case, in compliance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction; and
6. represents, warrants and certifies that the Buyer:

Guidance on Accredited Investor Exemption
Financial Assets
For the purposes of the financial asset tests in Sections (j) and (j.1) above, “financial assets” are defined to mean cash, securities, or a contract of insurance, a deposit or an evidence of a deposit that is not a security for the purposes of securities legislation. These financial assets are generally liquid or relatively easy to liquidate. The value of a buyer’s personal residence is not included in a calculation of financial assets.
As a general matter, it should not be difficult to determine whether financial assets are beneficially owned by an individual, an individual’s spouse, or both, in any particular instance. However, 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:
(a) | physical or constructive possession of evidence of ownership of the financial asset; |
(b) | entitlement to receipt of any income generated by the financial asset; |
(c) | risk of loss of the value of the financial asset; and |
(d) | the ability to dispose of the financial asset or otherwise deal with it as the individual sees fit. |
A-8 |
For example, securities held in a self-directed RRSP, for the sole benefit of an individual, are beneficially owned by that individual. In general, financial assets in a spousal RRSP would also be included for the purposes of the $1,000,000 financial asset test in Section (j) because it takes into account financial assets owned beneficially by a spouse. However, financial assets in a spousal RRSP would not be included for purposes of the $5,000,000 financial asset test in Section (j). Financial assets held in a group RRSP under which the individual does not have the ability to acquire the financial assets and deal with them directly would not meet the beneficial ownership requirements in either Sections (j) or (j.1).
Net Assets
By comparison, the net asset test under Sections (l) to (m) means all of the Buyer’s total assets minus all of the Buyer’s total liabilities. Accordingly, for the purposes of the net asset test, the calculation of total assets would include the value of a buyer’s personal residence and the calculation of total liabilities would include the amount of any liability (such as a mortgage) in respect of the Buyer’s personal residence.
To calculate a buyer’s net assets under the net asset test, subtract the Buyer’s total liabilities from the Buyer’s total assets. 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 the security.
