___________
|
a
natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with
that person’s spouse, exceeds US$1,000,000. For purposes of
this category, "net worth" means the excess of total assets at fair
market value (including personal and real property, but excluding
the estimated fair market value of a person's primary home) over
total liabilities. Total liabilities excludes any mortgage on the
primary home in an amount of up to the home's estimated fair market
value as long as the mortgage was incurred more than 60 days before
the Securities are acquired, but includes (i) any mortgage amount
in excess of the home's fair market value and (ii) any mortgage
amount that was borrowed during the 60-day period before the date
of the acquisition of Securities for the purpose of investing in
the Securities;
|
___________
|
a
natural person who had an individual income in excess of US$200,000
in each of the two most recent years, or joint income with their
spouse in excess of US$300,000 in each of those years and has a
reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the
current year, or

The

for the registrant and have:
|
|
|
(a)
|
designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
ensure that material information relating to the registrant,
including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by
others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which this report is being prepared;
|
|
(b)
|
designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our
supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles;
|
|
(c)
|
evaluated
the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and
procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the
end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
and
|
|
(d)
|
disclosed
in this report any change in the registrant’s internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the

The

audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or
persons performing the equivalent functions):
|
|
|
(a)
|
all
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s
ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
information; and
|
|
(b)
|
any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s
internal control over financial reporting.
