3. SUBSCRIPTION FOR UNITS
3.1 Subscription for Units
The Subscriber hereby confirms its irrevocable subscription for and offer to purchase the Subscribed Units from the Corporation, and hereby tenders the Subscription Amount, which, upon acceptance by the Corporation, will constitute a binding agreement of the Subscriber with the Corporation to purchase from the Corporation, and, on the part of the Corporation, to sell to the Subscriber, the Subscribed Units, on and subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Subscription Agreement, for the Subscription Amount which is payable as described in Article 4 hereto.

3.2 Acceptance and Rejection of Subscription by the Corporation
The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding Section 3.1 above, the Corporation reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to reject this subscription for Units, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Closing Time. If this subscription is rejected in whole, any cheques or other forms of payment delivered on account of the Subscription Amount will be promptly returned to the Subscriber without interest or deduction. If this subscription is accepted only in part, a cheque representing any refund of the Subscription Amount for that portion of the subscription for Units which is not accepted will be promptly delivered to the Subscriber without interest or deduction.
3.3 No U.S. Registration
The Subscriber acknowledges that neither the Unit Securities nor any Warrant Stock have been, or will be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. Person, except pursuant to applicable exemptions from U.S. federal and state registration requirements.
3.4 The Warrants
Warrant exercise will take place on a 'cash-less' basis, which will result in the Warrant holder receiving shares of Common Stock equal to the value of the intrinsic value of the Warrants being exercised.

The Warrants will be transferable but will not be issued pursuant to a warrant indenture. The Warrants will not be listed on the TSX.
The certificates representing the Warrants will, among other things, include provisions for the appropriate adjustment in the class, number and price of the Warrant Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants upon the occurrence of certain events, including any subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of the Corporation’s Common Stock, the payment of stock dividends and the amalgamation of the Corporation.

THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE CORPORATION, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, (C) IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS, OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE HOLDER HAS, PRIOR TO SUCH SALE, FURNISHED TO THE CORPORATION AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, OR OTHER EVIDENCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, TO SUCH EFFECT.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE; HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY, ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT “GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE.”
|
(e)
|
The Subscriber and each beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting acknowledge that the Units are speculative in nature and that there are risks associated with the purchase of the Subscribed Units and the Subscriber and each beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Subscribed Units, fully understands the speculative nature of the Subscribed Units and is able to bear the economic risk of loss of its entire investment.
|
|
(f)
|
The Subscriber is not relying upon the Agent to conduct any due diligence investigation on its behalf concerning the Offering or the Corporation’s business, management, financial position, condition or prospects. The Subscriber has not received or been provided with a prospectus or offering memorandum within the meaning of the Securities Laws, or any sales or advertising literature in connection with the Offering and the Subscriber’s decision to subscribe for the Subscribed Units was not based upon, and the Subscriber has not relied upon, any verbal or written representations as to facts made by or on behalf of the Corporation or the Agent.

|
|
(g)
|

Without limiting the foregoing, the Subscriber shall so indemnify the indemnitees with respect to any unsuccessful action that Subscriber brings with respect to Subscriber’s investment hereunder.

|
13
|
(j)
|
The Subscriber acknowledges that investors who acquire securities by way of a private placement have significantly fewer rights and remedies available to them than investors who acquire securities offered by a prospectus. For example, investors who acquire securities by way of a private placement do not have the benefit of certain statutory remedies against an issuer’s agents, auditors, directors and officers that are available to investors who acquire securities offered by a prospectus. And the Subscriber is also aware that the common law may not provide investors with an adequate remedy in the event that they suffer investment losses in connection with securities acquired in a private placement.
|
|
(k)
|
The Corporation and the Agent are relying on an exemption from the requirement to provide the Subscriber with a prospectus or offering memorandum under the Securities Laws and, as a consequence of acquiring the Subscribed Units pursuant to such exemption, certain protections, rights and remedies provided by the Securities Laws, including statutory rights of rescission and/or damages, will not be available to the Subscriber, the Subscriber may not receive information that would otherwise be required to be provided to the Subscriber under the Securities Laws and the Corporation is relieved from certain obligations that would otherwise apply under the Securities Laws.
|
|
(l)
|
There is no government or other insurance covering the Unit Securities or Warrant Stock.
|
|
(m)
|
The Agent’s counsel and the Corporation’s counsel are acting as counsel to the Agent and the Corporation, respectively, and not as counsel to the Subscriber.
|
|
(n)
|
The Subscriber agrees that this Subscription Agreement does not constitute an offer to sell or issue, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for, the Subscribed Units in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is unlawful.
|
|
(o)
|
The Subscriber acknowledges that there is a risk that insufficient funds may be raised through the Closing to fund the Corporation’s objectives and that further financing may not be available.
|
|
(p)
|
The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that all costs and expenses incurred by the Subscriber (including any fees and disbursements of special counsel or other advisors retained by the Subscriber) relating to the purchase of the Subscribed Units shall be borne by the Subscriber.
|
|
(q)
|
Without limitation, this subscription and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are conditional upon and subject to the Corporation’s having obtained such regulatory approval of this subscription and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement as the Corporation and the Agent consider necessary.
|
5.4 Reliance on Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Acknowledgements
The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgements made by the Subscriber in this Subscription Agreement are made with the intention that they may be relied upon by the Corporation and the Agent in determining the Subscriber’s eligibility (and, if applicable, the eligibility of others for whom the Subscriber is acting) to purchase Units under the Securities Laws. The Subscriber further agrees that by accepting the Subscribed Units, the Subscriber shall be representing and warranting that such representations, warranties, acknowledgements and covenants are true as at the Closing Time with the same force and effect as if they had been made by the Subscriber at the Closing Time and that they shall survive the purchase by the Subscriber of Units for the benefit of the Corporation and the Agent shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any subsequent disposition by the Subscriber of any of such Unit Securities.

Each broker’s warrant will entitle the Agent to purchase one Broker Unit at US$0.21 at any time before the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date. Each Broker Unit shall consist of one share of Common Stock and one half of one Warrant, with each such whole Warrant exercisable into one share of Common Stock at US$0.30 per share at any time before the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date. The Corporation will also pay certain fees and expenses of the Agent in connection with the Offering, excluding proceeds arising from Units issued to insiders (directors, officers or persons owning or controlling more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation), for which no Compensation is payable; for greater certainty, Compensation of 8% cash and 4% Broker Units shall be payable in the form of finders’ fees and/or corporate finance fees with respect to all other Units issued concurrently with the Offering, however placed.

1 The warrant exercise price is in US dollars due to the fact that NeuLion reports in US dollars. Had the warrant exercise price been in Canadian dollars, time consuming, laborious and costly quarterly financial statement adjustments would have been required due to their status, in that case, as derivative instruments.
2 Assuming an investor exercises 100,000 warrants and the 5 day average closing price of the company's stock price is $0.50 then the number of shares of Common Stock issued will be 40,000, being the $20,000 of intrinsic value divided by $0.50 per share.
3 Canadian investors can re-sell their securities to non US investors after 4 months plus 1 day have elapsed, with the Regulation S legend remaining on the certificate.
4 To effect the removal of the hold period legend, US securities laws require that the Corporation’s financial statement filings be current during the period from 6 months to 12 months after closing. The Corporation or its counsel will advise Computershare, the transfer agent, at the end of the six-month period and periodically thereafter, during the six-to-12- month period, whether the Corporation is current in its reporting, so that shares can be transferred without further instruction.
