The Corporation further understands and acknowledges that following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchaser may engage in hedging and/or trading activities at various times during the period that the Purchased Securities are outstanding, and that such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the existing shareholders’ equity interest in the Corporation both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted.

There are no agreements, waivers or other arrangements providing for an extension of time with respect to the filing of any tax return by the Corporation or the payment of any material tax, governmental charge, penalty, interest or fine against the Corporation. The Corporation has no liability for taxes except those arising in the ordinary course of its business. There are no material actions, suits, proceedings, audits, investigations or claims in progress, now threatened or pending against the Corporation which could result in a material liability in respect of taxes, charges or levies of any governmental authority, penalties, interest, fines, assessments or reassessments or any matters under discussion with any governmental authority relating to taxes, governmental charges, penalties, interest, fines, assessments or reassessments asserted by any such authority and the Corporation has withheld (where applicable) from each payment to each of the present and former officers, directors, employees and consultants thereof the amount of all taxes and other amounts, including, but not limited to, income tax and other deductions, required to be withheld therefrom, and has paid the same or will pay the same when due to the proper tax or other receiving authority within the time required under applicable tax legislation.

The Purchaser can afford the loss of its entire investment.

(c) The Purchaser is acquiring the Purchased Securities for investment for its own account and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Private Placement and sale of the Purchased Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. The Purchaser further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any third person with respect to any of the Purchased Securities. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Private Placement of the Purchased Securities will not be registered under the Securities Act nor under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction on the ground that the sale of the Purchased Securities to the Purchaser as provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state or other securities laws. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, for the reason(s) specified on the Accredited Investor Certification provided by the Purchaser as completed by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall submit to the Corporation such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation.

The Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person or entity, other than the Corporation and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Corporation. The Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Purchased Securities.

(g) The Purchaser has been advised to consult its own legal advisors with respect to the applicable hold periods imposed in respect of the Purchased Securities by the applicable Securities Laws and confirms that no representation by the Corporation has been made respecting the hold periods applicable to the Purchased Securities and the Purchaser is solely responsible (and the Corporation is not responsible) for compliance with the applicable resale restrictions.

(h) The Purchaser acknowledges and consents to the fact that the Corporation is collecting Personal Information of the Purchaser for the purpose of completing this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Personal Information” means any personal information as that term is defined under applicable privacy legislation, including, without limitation, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) and any other applicable similar, replacement or supplemental provincial or federal legislation or laws in effect from time to time and without limiting the foregoing, but for greater clarity in this Agreement, means information about an identifiable individual, including but not limited to any information about the Purchaser and includes information provided by the Purchaser in this Agreement.
