Page 9 of 20
8.2 The Subscriber acknowledges that the Securities are subject to resale restrictions in Canada and may not be traded in Canada except as permitted by the Securities Act (Ontario) (the “Ontario Act”) and the rules made thereunder.

8.4 By executing and delivering this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber has directed the Company not to include the Canadian Legend on any certificates representing the Securities to be issued to the Subscriber.
8.5 As a consequence, the Subscriber may not be able to rely on the resale provisions of NI 45-102, and any subsequent trade in any of the Securities during or after the Canadian Hold Period may be a distribution subject to the prospectus and registration requirements of Canadian securities legislation, to the extent that the trade is at that time subject to any such Canadian securities legislation.
8.6 No Securities of any class of the Company shall be transferred without the approval of the directors, provided that approval of any transfer of Securities may be given as aforesaid after the transfer has been effected upon the records of the Company, in which event, unless the said approval stipulates otherwise, the said transfer shall be valid and shall take effect as from the date of its very entry upon the books of the Company.
