“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY, AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”) OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 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 HOLDER MAY NOT ENGAGE IN ANY HEDGING TRANSACTION WITH REGARD TO THESE SECURITIES EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.
“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 acknowledges that an investment in the Units is speculative, involving a high degree of risk, and the Subscriber 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 and is able to bear the economic risk of loss of its entire investment.
|
|
(f)
|
The Corporation and its counsel are relying on the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and in the attached Schedule “A” hereto to determine the Subscriber’s eligibility to subscribe for Units under applicable Securities Laws, and the Subscriber agrees to indemnify the Corporation and its directors and officers (“indemnitees”) against all losses, claims, costs, expenses, damages or liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, which any of them may suffer or incur as a result of or arising from reliance thereon.

The Subscriber undertakes to immediately notify the Corporation of any change in any statement or other information relating to the Subscriber set forth herein or in such applicable Schedules which takes place prior to the Closing Time.
|
|
(g)
|
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.
|
|
(h)
|

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 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any subsequent disposition by the Subscriber of any of such Unit Securities.

As a result of the 'cash-less exercise', the warrant holder will not make any payment to the Corporation in connection with exercising the warrants. 12 3

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 Corporation's stock price is $.50, then the number of shares of Common Stock issued will be 40,000, being the $20,000 of intrinsic value divided by $.50 per share.
3 For Canadian investors, the Adjusted Cost Base of the shares of Common Stock received will be zero. If a U.S. investor does not recognize gain or loss upon cashless exercise of the Warrant, the U.S. investor’s basis in the shares received on exercise will equal its basis in the Warrants. If the cashless exercise of the Warrants is treated as a taxable exchange, the U.S. investor would recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Warrants surrendered upon exercise and the investor’s basis in those Warrants.
4 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.
5 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.
