Direct Registration System (DRS) or Certificated
Unit Shares comprising the Units issuable under the Offering may be issued in the Direct Registration System (“DRS”). DRS is a system that allows the Unit Shares comprising the Units to be held in “book-entry” form without having a physical share certificate issued as evidence of ownership.
Instead, the Unit Shares comprising the Units are registered electronically by the Issuer’s transfer agent. DRS eliminates the need for shareholders to safeguard and store certificates, it avoids the significant cost of a surety bond for the replacement of, and the effort involved in replacing, physical certificate(s) that might be lost, stolen or destroyed and it permits / enables electronic share transactions.
The Unit Shares comprising the Units will be issued in electronic form using DRS of the Issuer's transfer agent. If the Subscriber prefers to receive the Unit Shares comprising the Units in certificated form rather than DRS, please express that preference here:
☐ The Subscriber elects to receive the Unit Shares comprising the Units in certificated form.

Terms defined or interpreted in National Instrument 45-106 and used in this Certificate have the respective meanings ascribed to them in that instrument.
In section 3.5 of Companion Policy 45-106CP, the Canadian securities regulatory authorities provide guidance on calculating financial assets in paragraphs (j) and (j.1), net income in paragraph (k) and net assets in paragraph (l) in order to rely on the Accredited Investor Exemption. The following excerpt of section 3.5 of Companion Policy 45-106CP is included for reference:
1.Individual qualification – financial tests
An individual is an “accredited investor” for the purposes of NI 45-106 if the individual satisfies one of four tests set out in the “accredited investor” definition in section 1.1 of NI 45-106:
·the $1,000,000 financial asset test in paragraph (j)
·the $5,000,000 financial asset test in paragraph (j.1) the net income test in paragraph (k)
·the net asset test in paragraph (l)
Three branches of the definition (in paragraphs (j), (k) and (l)) are designed to treat spouses as a single investing unit, so that either spouse qualifies as an “accredited investor” if the combined financial assets of both spouses exceed $1,000,000, the combined net income of both spouses exceeds $300,000, or the combined net assets of both spouses exceeds $5,000,000.
The fourth branch, the $5,000,000 financial asset test, does not treat spouses as a single investing unit.
For the purposes of the financial asset tests in paragraphs (j) and (j.1), “financial assets” are defined in NI 45-106 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 purchaser’s personal residence is not included in a calculation of financial assets.
28
By comparison, the net asset test under paragraph (l) means all of the purchaser’s total assets minus all of the purchaser’s total liabilities.
Accordingly, for the purposes of the net asset test, the calculation of total assets would include the value of a purchaser’s personal residence and the calculation of total liabilities would include the amount of any liability (such as a mortgage) in respect of the purchaser’s personal residence.
If the combined net income of both spouses does not exceed $300,000, but the net income of one of the spouses exceeds $200,000, only the spouse whose net income exceeds $200,000 qualifies as an accredited investor.
2.Bright-line standards – individuals
The monetary thresholds in the “accredited investor” definition are intended to create “brightline” standards. Investors who do not satisfy these monetary thresholds do not qualify as accredited investors under the applicable paragraph.
3.Beneficial ownership of financial assets
Paragraphs (j) and (j.1) of the “accredited investor” definition refer to the beneficial ownership 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.
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 paragraph (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 paragraph (j.1). 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 paragraph (j) or paragraph (j.1).
4.Calculation of an individual purchaser’s net assets
To calculate a purchaser’s net assets under the net asset test in paragraph (l) of the “accredited investor” definition, subtract the purchaser’s total liabilities from the purchaser’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.
5.Financial statements
The minimum net asset threshold of $5,000,000 specified in paragraph (m) of the “accredited investor” definition must, in the case of a non- individual entity, be shown on the entity’s “most recently prepared financial statements”. The financial statements must be prepared in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles.
NOTE FOR INDIVIDUALS
If the Subscriber (or, if the Subscriber is acting on behalf of a purchaser, the Purchaser) is an individual and falls within paragraph (j), (k) or (l) of the definition of “accredited investor” in National Instrument 45-106 and as set out above, also complete and sign Appendix C1 – Form 45-106F9 Form for Individual Accredited Investors.

Terms defined or interpreted in National Instrument 45-106 and used in this Certificate have the respective meanings ascribed to them in that instrument.
In sections 2.7 and 2.8 of Companion Policy 45-106CP, the Canadian securities regulatory authorities provide guidance for assessing whether the tests for being a "close personal friend" or “close business associate” have been satisfied in order to rely on the Family, Friends and Close Business Associates Exemption or the Private Issuer Exemption. The following excerpt of sections 2.7 and 2.8 of Companion Policy 45-106CP is included for reference:
2.7 Close Personal Friend
For purposes of both the private issuer exemption in section 2.4 of NI 45-106 and the family, friends and business associates exemption in section 2.5 of National Instrument 45-106, a “close personal friend” of a director, executive officer, founder or control person of an issuer is an individual who knows the director, executive officer, founder or control person well enough and has known them for a sufficient period of time to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and to obtain information from them with respect to the investment. The term “close personal friend” can include a family member who is not already specifically identified in the exemptions if the family member satisfies the criteria described above.
We consider the following factors as relevant to this determination:
(a)the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person,
(b)the nature of the relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person including such matters as the frequency of contacts between them and the level of trust and reliance in the other circumstances, and
(c)the number of “close personal friends” of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance on the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption.
An individual is not a close personal friend solely because the individual is:
(a)a relative,
(b)a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group,
(c)a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace,
(d)a client, customer, former client or former customer
(e)a mere acquaintance, or
(f)connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
37
The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemption is not available to a close personal friend of a close personal friend of a director of the issuer
We would not consider a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an Internet forum to be that of a close personal friend.
2.8 Close Business Associate
For the purposes of both the private issuer exemption in section 2.4 of NI 45-106 and the family, friends and business associates exemption in section 2.5 of National Instrument 45-106, a “close business associate” is an individual who has had sufficient prior business dealings with a director, executive officer, founder or control person of the issuer to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and to obtain information from them with respect to the investment.
We consider the following factors as relevant to this determination:
(a)the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person,
(b)the nature of any specific business relationships between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, including, for each relationship, when it began, the frequency of contact between them and when it terminated if it is not ongoing, and the level of trust and reliance in the other circumstances,
(c)the nature and number of any business dealings between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, the length of the period during which they occurred, and the nature and date of the most recent business dealing, and
(d)the number of “close business associates” of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance on the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption.
An individual is not a close business associate solely because the individual is:
(a)a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group,
(b)a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace,
(c)a client, customer, former client or former customer,
(d)a mere acquaintance, or
(e)connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemptions are not available for a close business associate of a close business associate of a director of the issuer.
We would not consider a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an internet forum to be that of a close business associate.

APPENDIX D2
FORM 45-106F5
You are buying Exempt Market Securities
They are called exempt market securities because two parts of securities law do not apply to them. If an issuer wants to sell exempt market securities to you:
·the issuer does not have to give you a prospectus (a document that describes the investment in detail and gives you some legal protections), and
·the securities do not have to be sold by an investment dealer registered with a securities regulatory authority or regulator.
There are restrictions on your ability to resell exempt market securities. Exempt market securities are more risky than other securities.
You may not receive any written information about the issuer or its business
If you have any questions about the issuer or its business, ask for written clarification before you purchase the securities. You should consult your own professional advisers before investing in the securities.
You will not receive advice
Unless you consult your own professional advisers, you will not get professional advice about whether the investment is suitable for you.
For more information on the exempt market, refer to the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission's website at http://www.sfsc.gov.sk.ca. [Instruction: The purchaser must sign 2 copies of this form. The purchaser and the issuer must each receive a signed copy.]
