If the Purchaser or a trade in the Securities is subject to the securities laws of a jurisdiction other than Canada, additional resale restrictions may apply under other applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Purchaser agrees that all Exchange Units issued to it pursuant to this Agreement shall not be sold prior to the sale restrictions on all of the Medigus ADSs being issued to the Corporation expiring. |
(f) | The representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgements of the Purchaser contained in this Subscription Agreement, and in any schedules or other documents or materials executed and delivered by the Purchaser hereunder, are made by the Purchaser with the intent that they may be relied upon by the Corporation, and its professional advisors in determining the Purchaser’s eligibility to purchase the Units. |

(h) | The Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation may be required to provide applicable securities regulatory authorities with a list setting forth the identities of the beneficial purchasers of the Units and that the Purchaser will provide, on request, particulars as to the identity of such beneficial purchasers as may be required by the Corporation in order to comply with the foregoing. |

(vi) | disclosure to any person where such disclosure is necessary for legitimate business reasons; |

THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. |
B-3
(i) | Certificates evidencing the Common Shares and the Underlying Shares shall not contain the legend set forth in Section 2(g) above: (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), (iii) if such Common Shares or Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) without volume limitations and the current information requirements are met at such time or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder or if requested by a Purchaser to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without volume limitations and current information requirements are met at such time or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. |
(j) | understands that the Corporation (i) is under no obligation to remain a “foreign issuer” (as defined in Regulation S), and (ii) may engage in one or more transactions which could cause the Corporation not to be a “foreign issuer”; |

(m) | understands and acknowledges that the publicly available materials regarding the Corporation in Canada do not contain all the information that would be found in the applicable registration statement if the Securities were registered under the 1933 Act and that the Corporation’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards. IFRS differs in some respects from United States generally accepted accounting principles, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies; |
(n) | has relied solely upon its own independent investigation in making a decision to purchase the Units and acknowledges that (i) the Units are speculative investments which involve a substantial degree of risk with no assurance of any income from such investments and the possibility that such may become worthless and (ii) there is no market for the Securities in the United States, and investors must therefore be prepared to bear the economic risks for an indefinite period; |
(o) | certifies that the Purchaser has received or has had full access to all the information the Purchaser considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Units; |
(p) | certifies that the Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Corporation regarding the Corporation’s business, management and financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offer, sale and issuance of the Securities and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Corporation possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to the Purchaser or to which the Purchaser had access; |
B-4
(q) | certifies that the offer, sale and issuance of the Securities is not a transaction, or part of a chain of transactions which, although in technical compliance with Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the 1933 Act; |
(r) | certifies that, if the Purchaser is an entity or organization, the Purchaser was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Units; |
(s) | the funds representing the aggregate purchase price which will be advanced by the Purchaser for the subscription for the Units in the Offering will not represent proceeds of crime for the purposes of the United States Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (the “PATRIOT Act”), and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Corporation, and/or any of its respective affiliates in the United States may in the future be required by law to disclose the Purchaser’s name and other information relating to the Subscription Agreement and the undersigned’s subscription hereunder, on a confidential basis, pursuant to the PATRIOT Act, and (ii) no portion of the aggregate purchase price to be provided by the Purchaser (A) has been or will be derived from or related to any activity that is deemed criminal under the laws of the United States of America, or any other jurisdiction, or (B) is being tendered on behalf of a person or entity that has not been identified to or by the Purchaser; and the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Corporation and its affiliates in the United States if the Purchaser discovers that any of such representations ceases to be true and provide the Corporation and any of its affiliates in the United States with appropriate information in connection therewith; |
(t) | it acknowledges and understands that no agency, governmental authority, regulatory body, stock exchange or other entity (including, without limitation, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission) has made any finding or determination as to the merit of investment in, nor have any such agencies or governmental authorities made any recommendation or endorsement with respect to, any of the Units; |
(u) | understands and acknowledges that (i) if the Corporation is deemed to have been at any time previously an issuer with no or nominal operations and no or nominal assets other than cash and cash equivalents, Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may not be available for resales of the Securities and (ii) the Corporation is not obligated to make Rule 144 under the 1933 Act available for resales of such Securities; and |
