EXHIBIT "A"
With respect to individuals, an "accredited investor" is defined by Rule
501(a) of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Reg D"), as (i) "any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net
worth with that person's spouse, at the time of his purchase exceeds
$1,000,000," (ii) "any natural person who had an individual income in excess of
$200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person's
spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable
expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year," or (iii)
"any director, executive officer, or general partner of the issuer of the
securities being offered or sold, or any director, executive officer or general
partner of a general partner of that issuer."
"Purchaser representative" is defined by Reg D as a person that is "not an
affiliate, director, officer or other employee of the issuer, or beneficial
owner of 10 percent or more of any class of the equity securities or 10 percent
or more of the equity interest in the issuer," unless the purchaser is (a) a
relative of the purchaser representative by blood, marriage, or adoption, and is
not more remote than a first cousin; (b) a trust or estate in which the
purchaser representative and any persons related to him as described in sections
(a) or (c) of this paragraph collectively have more than 50% of the beneficial
interest (excluding contingent interest) or of which the purchaser
representative serves as trustee, executor, or in any similar capacity; (c) a
corporation or other organization of which the purchaser representative and any
persons related to him as described in sections (a) or (b) of this paragraph
collectively are the beneficial owners of more than 50% of the equity securities
(excluding directors' qualifying shares) or equity interests. A "purchaser
representative" must have such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that he is capable of evaluating (together with the purchaser
or other purchaser representatives of the purchaser) the merits and risks of the
prospective investment. A "purchaser representative" must also meet certain
acknowledgement and disclosure requirements described in Reg D.
