1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES.

(a) Purchase of Convertible Debentures. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Buyer agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase at the Closings and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Buyer, severally and not jointly, at the Closings, the aggregate amount of Convertible Debentures corresponding with the Subscription Amount set forth opposite each Buyer’s name on Schedule I hereto. Upon execution hereof by a Buyer, the Buyer shall wire transfer the Subscription Amount set forth opposite its name on Schedule I in same-day funds or a check payable to “Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx XX, P.A. as Escrow Agent for Carbiz Inc./Trafalgar Capital Investment Fund,” which Subscription Amount shall be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and disbursed in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Buyer may withdraw his Subscription Amount and terminate this Agreement as to such Buyer at any time after the execution hereof and prior to Closing (as hereinafter defined) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the terms of the Convertible Debentures.

(b) Closing Date. The First Closing of the purchase and sale of the Convertible Debentures shall take place at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date hereof, subject to notification of satisfaction of the conditions to the First Closing set forth herein and in Sections 6 and 7 below (or such later date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Buyer(s)) (the “First Closing Date”). All other Closings shall take place subject to notification of satisfaction of the conditions to the other Closings set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below (or such later dates as are mutually agreed to by the Company and the Buyer(s)) on the dates and subject to the conditions set forth in the second recital to this Agreement (the “Subsequent Closing Dates,” and together with the First Closing Date, the “Closing Dates”). The Closings shall occur on their respective Closing Dates at the offices of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx XX, P.A., 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000 (or such other place as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Buyer(s)).

(c) Escrow Arrangements; Form of Payment. Upon execution hereof by Buyer(s) and pending the Closings, the Subscription Amount for the First Closing shall be deposited in a non-interest bearing escrow account with Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx XX, P.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on each Closing Date, (i) the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement such

aggregate proceeds for the Convertible Debentures to be issued and sold to such Buyer(s), minus the fees and expenses as set forth herein which shall be paid directly from the gross proceeds held in escrow, at each Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and (ii) the Company shall deliver to each Buyer, Convertible Debentures which such Buyer(s) is purchasing on such Closing Date in amounts indicated opposite such Buyer’s name on Schedule I, duly executed on behalf of the Company.

(d) “Closing Date Exchange Rate” means, as to each Closing Date, the Euro to US dollar spot exchange rate as quoted in the London edition of the Financial Times on such Closing Date.

(e) “Repayment Exchange Rate” means in relation to each date of a Conversion Notice or date of a Redemption Notice, the Euro to US dollar spot exchange rate as quoted by in the London edition of the Financial Times on such date.

(f) If on the date of any notice of conversion (a “Conversion Notice”) or notice of redemption (a “Redemption Notice”), the Repayment Exchange Rate is less than the corresponding Closing Date Exchange Rate for such Convertible Debenture, then the number of Conversion Shares to be issued shall be increased by the same percentage as results from dividing the Closing Date Exchange Rate by the relevant Repayment Exchange Rate. By way of example, if the number of Conversion Shares to be issued in respect of a particular Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice would, but for this Clause 1(f), be 1,000 and if the Closing Date Exchange Rate is 1.80 and the relevant Repayment Exchange Rate is 1.75, then 1,029 Shares will be issued in relation to that Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice, as the case may be.

(g) If on the date of repayment of principal and accrued interest (a “Repayment Date”) or any date of repayment of interest only (an “Interest Repayment Date”), the Cash Payment Date Exchange Rate, as defined below is less than the Closing Date Exchange Rate, then the amount of cash required to satisfy the amounts due at such time shall be increased by the same percentage as results from dividing the Closing Date Exchange Rate by the relevant Cash Payment Date Exchange Rate. “Cash Payment Date Exchange Rate” means in relation to each Repayment Date or Interest Repayment Date the Euro to US dollar spot exchange rate as quoted in the London edition of the Financial Times on such date. By way of example, if the amount of cash required to repay all amounts due on such date would, but for this Clause 1(g), be US$1,000 and if the Closing Date Exchange Rate is 1.80 and the relevant Repayment Date Exchange Rate is 1.75 then the amount of cash from the Cash Payment required to repay all amounts due on such date will be US$1,028.57.

2. BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:

(a) Investment Purposes. Each Buyer is acquiring the Convertible Debentures and the Warrants and, upon conversion of Convertible Debentures and exercise of the Warrants (as defined herein), the Buyer will acquire the Conversion Shares and Common Shares underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), respectively, then issuable, for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale

or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act, applicable state securities laws and applicable Canadian securities laws; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of all or any part of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares or an available exemption under the 1933 Act, including, without limitation, Regulation S promulgated under the 1933 Act (“Regulation S”) after delivering an opinion of counsel in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company that such disposition is exempt from registration under applicable United States federal and state securities laws and applicable Canadian securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Buyer to hold the Conversion Shares for any period of time. Such Buyer is acquiring the Convertible Debentures, the Warrant, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Buyer does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any of the Convertible Debentures, the Conversion Shares, the Warrant or the Warrant Shares in violation of United States federal or state securities laws or applicable Canadian or provincial securities laws.

(b) Outside the United States and Not a U.S. Person. Each Buyer is located outside the “United States,” as such term is defined in Regulation S, and is not a “U.S. person,” as such term is defined in Regulation S, and is not purchasing the Convertible Debenture or the Warrants by or on behalf a person inside the United States or a U.S. Person. The purchase of the Convertible Debenture and the Warrant was conducted in an “offshore transaction,” as such term is defined in Regulation S.

(c) Reliance on Exemptions. Each Buyer understands that the Convertible Debentures and the Warrants are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions or exclusions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and applicable Canadian securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire such securities.

(d) Information. Each Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and information it deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of the Convertible Debentures, the Warrant, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, which have been requested by such Buyer. Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Convertible Debentures, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares involves a high degree of risk. Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon its economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment. Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has

considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of such securities.

(e) No Governmental Review. Each Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Convertible Debentures, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in such securities, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of such securities.

(f) Transfer or Resale. Each Buyer understands that: (i) the Convertible Debentures, the Warrant, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such securities to be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements. The Company reserves the right to place stop transfer instructions against the shares and certificates for the Convertible Debentures, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.

(g) Legends. Each Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Convertible Debentures, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares and all certificates issued in substitution thereof and in exchange therefore shall bear restrictive legends in substantially the following forms (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such share certificates), until such time as it is no longer required under applicable securities laws:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION/EXERCISE HEREOF] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS SUCH SECURITIES ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR SUCH SECURITIES ARE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW AND THE COMPANY WILL BE PROVIDED WITH OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY OR OTHER SUCH INFORMATION AS IT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH EXEMPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE.

WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CANADIAN SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRADED IN CANADA OR TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF A CANADIAN RESIDENT UNTIL [FOUR MONTHS AND ONE DAY AFTER ISSUANCE].

The legends set forth above shall be removed and the Company within two (2) business days shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Conversion Shares upon which it is stamped, if, unless the legend is otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) in connection with a sale transaction, provided the Conversion Shares are registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or (ii) in connection with a sale transaction, after such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Conversion Shares may be made without registration under the 1933 Act.

(h) Authorization, Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and is a valid and binding agreement of such Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

(i) Receipt of Documents. Each Buyer and his or its counsel has received and read in their entirety: (i) this Agreement and each representation, warranty and covenant set forth herein, the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (as defined herein), (ii) all due diligence and other information necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of such representations, warranties and covenants; (iii) the Company’s publicly available information on the SEC’s website and (iv) answers to all questions each Buyer submitted to the Company regarding an investment in the Company; and each Buyer has relied on the information contained therein and any other publicly available information regarding the Company and has not been furnished any other documents, literature, memorandum or prospectus.

(j) Due Formation of Corporate and Other Buyers. If the Buyer(s) is a corporation, trust, partnership or other entity that is not an individual person, it has been formed and validly exists and has not been organized for the specific purpose of purchasing the Convertible Debentures and is not prohibited from doing so.

(k) No Legal Advice From the Company. Each Buyer acknowledges, that it had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with his or its own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. Each Buyer is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect

to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

(l) Foreign Private Issuer Status. The Buyer understands and acknowledges that the Company (i) is not obligated to remain a “foreign issuer” within the meaning of Regulation S, (ii) may not, at the time the Convertible Debentures, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares are resold by it or at any other time, be a foreign issuer, and (iii) may engage in one or more transactions which could cause the Company not to be a foreign issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that it will not purposefully engage in any action or transaction which would cause the Company to cease being a foreign issuer until after the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective.

(f) Corporate Existence. So long as any of the Convertible Debentures remain outstanding, the Company shall not directly or indirectly consummate any merger, reorganization, restructuring, reverse stock split consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or any similar transaction or related transactions (each such transaction, an “Organizational Change”) unless, prior to the consummation an Organizational Change, the Company obtains the written consent of each Buyer. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision with respect to such holders’ rights and interests to ensure that the provisions of this Section 4(f) will thereafter be applicable to the Convertible Debentures.

thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement, the Convertible Debentures, the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby, or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Buyer Indemnitee and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto by any of the Buyer Indemnities (other than a cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against a Buyer Indemnitee by such Buyer Indemnitee’s owners, investors or affiliates), (d) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Convertible Debentures or (e) the status of the Buyer or holder of the Convertible Debentures the Conversion Shares, as a Buyer of Convertible Debentures in the Company. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under applicable law.

(b) In consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the Buyer’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Buyer shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer(s) in this Agreement, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Buyer(s), (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Buyer(s) contained in this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Buyer(s), or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Company Indemnitee based on material misrepresentations or due to a material breach and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto by any of the Company Indemnities. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by each Buyer may be unenforceable for any reason, each Buyer shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under applicable law.

(c) Promptly after receipt by a Buyer Indemnitee or a Company Indemnitee, as the case may be (the “Indemnified Party”), of notice of the commencement of any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnified Party for which such Indemnity Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 8, such Indemnified Party shall, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party may retain its own counsel, but, except as provided in the following sentence, the fees and expenses of that counsel will be at the expense of that Indemnified Party, unless (i) the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party, as

applicable, shall have mutually agreed to the retention of that counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of such proceeding in a timely manner or (iii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel for the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay reasonable fees for not more than one separate legal counsel for the Buyer(s). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be or has been sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 8, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
