1.1 On the basis of the representations and warranties, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth in this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase such number of Subscription Receipts as is set forth on page 2 of this Agreement at a price of $0.60 per Subscription Receipt for the Subscription Amount shown on page 2 of this Agreement, which is tendered herewith (such subscription and agreement to purchase being the “Subscription”), and the Issuer agrees to sell the Subscription Receipts to the Subscriber, effective upon the Issuer’s acceptance of this Agreement.
1.2 In the event of the occurrence of the Escrow Release Condition (as defined herein), each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert into one common share in the capital of the Issuer (each, a “Share”), for no additional consideration. The Subscription Receipts and the Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.
1.3 The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscription Receipts have been offered to the Subscriber as part of an offering by the Issuer of additional Subscription Receipts to other subscribers for gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 (or any such greater or lesser amount as may be determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion) (the “Offering”).
1.4 All dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are in lawful money of United States, unless otherwise indicated.
1.5 The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the Subscription Amount and any other documents delivered in connection herewith will be held by Xxxxx Xxxxxx LLP (the “Escrow Agent”), legal counsel to the Issuer, by or on behalf of the Issuer. In the event that this Agreement is not accepted by the Issuer for whatever reason, which the Issuer expressly reserves the right to do, the Issuer will cause the Escrow Agent to return the Subscription Amount (without interest thereon) to the Subscriber at the address of the Subscriber as set forth on page 2 of this Agreement.
2. Payment and Escrow Provisions
2.1 On or before the closing of the Offering (the “Closing”), the Subscriber will deliver to the Escrow Agent payment for the Subscription Amount (the “Escrowed Funds”), as follows:
(a) | if the Subscriber is drawing funds from a Canadian bank to pay for this Subscription, by a certified cheque or bank draft drawn on a Canadian chartered bank, or by wire transfer to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the wiring instructions set out in Exhibit E that is on page 41 of this Agreement; or | |
(b) | if the Subscriber is drawing funds from any source other than a Canadian chartered bank to pay for this Subscription, then ONLY by wire transfer to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the wiring instructions set out in Exhibit E that is on page 41 of this Agreement, |
which Escrowed Funds will be held in escrow, on behalf of the Issuer, by the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement to be entered into between the Issuer and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”) at or prior to the Closing.
- 5 - |
2.2 The Escrowed Funds will be held by the Escrow Agent until the receipt by the Issuer of conditional approval for the listing of the Shares on a Canadian stock exchange (the “Escrow Release Condition”).
2.3 In the event that the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on May 31, 2018 (the “Escrow Deadline”), the Issuer will deliver a notice to the Escrow Agent confirming the Escrow Release Condition has been satisfied (the “Release Notice”). Upon receipt of the Release Notice: (a) the Escrow Agent will, as soon as practicable thereafter, release the Escrowed Funds to the Issuer, and (b) each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert, without any further action on the part of the Subscriber, into one Share, without payment of any additional consideration by the Subscriber.
2.4 If the Escrow Release Condition is not satisfied by the Escrow Deadline, or if the Issuer delivers written notice to the Escrow Agent that the Escrow Release Condition will not be satisfied before the Escrow Deadline (the “Default Notice”), the Subscription Receipts will expire and be of no further force and effect, effective as of the earlier of: (a) the Escrow Deadline and (b) the date of the receipt of the Default Notice by the Escrow Agent, and the Subscriber will be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent a refund of the Escrowed Funds, without interest thereon and less applicable expenses required to return the Escrowed Funds, to be refunded in the same format and, if applicable, to the same account, as the Escrowed Funds were initially delivered by, or from, the Subscriber to the Escrow Agent, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Subscriber and the Escrow Agent.
2.5 For greater certainty, the Subscription Receipts will be issued at the Closing by the Issuer and the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it will be acquiring Subscription Receipts, and not Shares, pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that, if the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied by the Escrow Deadline, the Subscription Receipts will convert automatically, with no further action on the part of the Subscriber, into Shares. In the event that the Issuer fails to satisfy the Escrow Release Condition by the Escrow Deadline, or the Issuer delivers the Default Notice to the Escrow Agent, the Escrowed Funds will be refunded to the Subscriber, in accordance with the terms of the certificate representing the Subscription Receipts (the “Certificate”), which will be substantially in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit F.
2.6 Prior to the time that the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied and the Release Notice is provided, the Subscriber will not be a shareholder of the Issuer with respect to the Subscription Receipts (or the Shares issuable on the conversion thereof) and will not be entitled to vote on or in respect of any event which forms part of the Escrow Release Condition. The Subscriber will only be entitled to receive the Shares if the Release Notice is provided to the Escrow Agent by the Issuer prior to the Escrow Deadline. If the Release Notice is not provided to the Escrow Agent prior to the Escrow Deadline, the Subscriber will only be entitled to a return of the Escrowed Funds and will not be entitled to acquire any Shares.
2.7 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts into Shares as provided in this Agreement and the Certificate, the Issuer shall cause the Issuer’s Transfer Agent to issue the Shares by way of book entry on the register maintained by the Issuer’s Transfer Argent for the appropriate number of Shares issuable upon deemed exercise of the Subscription Receipts. The Issuer will not issue and deliver any certificates representing the Shares.

3.3 The Issuer and the Subscriber acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent has acted as legal counsel only to the Issuer and, notwithstanding its requirements as escrow agent, is not protecting the rights and interests of the Subscriber. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer and the Escrow Agent have given the Subscriber the opportunity to seek, and are hereby recommending that the Subscriber obtain, independent legal advice with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and the Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Escrow Agent that the Subscriber has sought such independent legal advice or waives such advice.

(a) | the Issuer has been duly incorporated and organized and is a valid and subsisting company under the laws of the State of Nevada, and is duly qualified to carry on business in each jurisdiction wherein the carrying out of the activities contemplated makes such qualifications necessary; | |

8. Registration Rights
8.1 The Issuer will prepare and file a registration statement with respect to 50% of the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC within 90 days following the Closing and will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible after filing. The Registration Statement shall state, to the extent permitted by Rule 416 under the 1933 Act, that it also covers such indeterminate number of additional Shares as may become issuable upon exercise of the Subscription Receipts in order to (i) prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar events and (ii) effect any required anti-dilution adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 8, if the Issuer receives a comment from the staff of the SEC that effectively results in the Issuer having to reduce the number of Shares included in such Registration Statement, then the Issuer, after having first used commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the staff of the SEC to withdraw such comment, may in its sole discretion reduce on a pro rata basis (among all subscribers in the Offering) the number of Shares to be included in the Registration Statement.
- 12 - |
8.2 In connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will furnish to the Issuer, in writing, such information and representations with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as are reasonably necessary in order to assure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The Issuer will require the Subscriber to furnish to the Issuer, among other things as may be determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion, a certified statement as to the number of securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Subscriber and the name of the natural person that has voting and dispositive control over such Shares. The Subscriber will be responsible for payment of any legal fees it incurs in connection with the Registration Statement.
8.3 The Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (a) the Subscriber’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act; (b) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent that: (i) such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by the Subscriber to the Issuer specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, (ii) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by the Subscriber expressly for use therein, or (iii) such information relates to the Subscriber or the Subscriber’s proposed method of distribution of the Shares and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by the Subscriber expressly for use in the Registration Statement or in any amendment or supplement thereto; or (c) the use by the Subscriber of an outdated or defective Registration Statement after the Issuer has notified the Subscriber in writing that the Registration Statement is outdated or defective.
8.4 If a claim for indemnification hereunder is unavailable to the Issuer (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then the Subscriber, in lieu of indemnifying the Issuer, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Issuer as a result of such losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Subscriber and the Issuer in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Subscriber and the Issuer shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Subscriber or the Issuer, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

9. Representations and Warranties will be Relied Upon by the Issuer
9.1 The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are made by it with the intention that such representations and warranties may be relied upon by the Issuer and the Escrow Agent in determining the Subscriber’s eligibility to purchase the Securities under applicable laws, or, if applicable, the eligibility of others on whose behalf the Subscriber is contracting hereunder to purchase the Securities under applicable laws.

Guidance On Accredited Investor Exemptions for Individuals
An individual accredited investor is an individual:
(a) | who, either alone or with a spouse, beneficially owns financial assets (please see the guidance below regarding what financial assets are) having an aggregate realizable value that. before taxes but net of any related liabilities (please see the guidance below regarding what related liabilities are), exceeds $1,000,000; | |
(b) | whose net income before taxes exceeded $200,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years or whose net income before taxes combined with that of a spouse exceeded $300,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years and who, in either case, reasonably expects to exceed that net income level in the current calendar year; | |
(c) | who, either alone or with a spouse, has net assets (please see the guidance below regarding calculating net assets) of at least $5,000,000; and | |
(d) | who beneficially owns financial assets (please see the guidance below regarding what financial assets are) having an aggregate realizable value that, before taxes but net of any related liabilities (please see the guidance below regarding what related liabilities are), exceeds $5,000,000. |
- 24 - |
The monetary thresholds above are intended to create bright-line standards. Subscribers who do not satisfy these monetary thresholds do not qualify as accredited investors.
Spouses
Sections (a), (b) and (c) above are designed to treat spouses as a single investing unit, so that either spouse qualifies as an accredited investor if the combined financial assets of both spouses exceed $1,000,000, the combined net income of both spouses exceeds $300,000, or the combined net assets of both spouses exceed $5,000,000. Section (d) above does not treat spouses as a single investing unit.
If the combined net income of both spouses does not exceed $300,000, but the net income of one of the spouses exceeds $200,000, only the spouse whose net income exceeds $200,000 qualifies as an accredited investor.
Financial Assets and Related Liabilities
For the purposes of Sections (a) and (d) above, “financial assets” means: (1) cash, (2) securities, or (3) a contract of insurance, a deposit or an evidence of a deposit that is not a security for the purposes of securities legislation. These financial assets are generally liquid or relatively easy to liquidate. The value of a subscriber’s personal residence is not included in a calculation of financial assets.
The calculation of financial assets must exclude “related liabilities”, meaning: (1) liabilities incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing the acquisition or ownership of financial assets, or (2) liabilities that are secured by financial assets.
As a general matter, it should not be difficult to determine whether financial assets are beneficially owned by an individual, an individual’s spouse, or both, in any particular instance. However, in the case where financial assets are held in a trust or in another type of investment vehicle for the benefit of an individual, there may be questions as to whether the individual beneficially owns the financial assets. The following factors are indicative of beneficial ownership of financial assets:
● | physical or constructive possession of evidence of ownership of the financial asset; | |
● | entitlement to receipt of any income generated by the financial asset; | |
● | risk of loss of the value of the financial asset; and | |
● | the ability to dispose of the financial asset or otherwise deal with it as the individual sees fit. |
For example, securities held in a self-directed RRSP for the sole benefit of an individual are beneficially owned by that individual.
In general, financial assets in a spousal RRSP can be included for the purposes of the $1,000,000 financial asset test in Section (a) above because Section (a) takes into account financial assets owned beneficially by a spouse. However, financial assets in a spousal RRSP cannot be included for purposes of the $5,000,000 financial asset test in Section (d) above.
Financial assets held in a group RRSP under which the individual does not have the ability to acquire the financial assets and deal with them directly do not meet the beneficial ownership requirements in either Sections (a) or (d) above.
Net Assets
For the purposes of Section (c) above, “net assets” means all of a subscriber’s total assets minus all of the subscriber’s total liabilities. Accordingly, for the purposes of the net asset test, the calculation of total assets includes the value of a subscriber’s personal residence, and the calculation of total liabilities includes the amount of any liability (such as a mortgage) in respect of the subscriber’s personal residence.
- 25 - |
To calculate a subscriber’s net assets under the net asset test, subtract the subscriber’s total liabilities from the subscriber’s total assets. The value attributed to assets should reasonably reflect their estimated fair value. Income tax is considered a liability if the obligation to pay it is outstanding at the time of the distribution of the security to the subscriber by the Company.
Guidance On Accredited Investor Exemptions for Corporations, Trusts and Other Entities
Accredited investors that are corporations, trusts or other entities include:
(a) | a corporation, trust or other entity, other than an investment fund, that has net assets (please see the guidance below regarding calculating net assets) of at least $5,000,000 as shown on its most recently prepared financial statements in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles and that has not been created or used solely to purchase or hold securities as an accredited investor; | |
(b) | a corporation, trust or other entity in respect of which all of the owners of interests, direct, indirect or beneficial, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by directors, are persons that are accredited investors; and | |
(c) | a trust established by an accredited investor for the benefit of the accredited investor’s family members of which a majority of the trustees are accredited investors and all of the beneficiaries are the accredited investor’s spouse, a former spouse of the accredited investor or a parent, grandparent, brother, sister, child or grandchild of that accredited investor, of that accredited investor’s spouse or of that accredited investor’s former spouse. |
Net Assets
For the purposes of Section (a) above, “net assets” means all of the subscriber’s total assets minus all of the subscriber’s total liabilities. The minimum net asset threshold of $5,000,000 specified in Section (a) above must be shown on the entity’s most recently prepared financial statements. The financial statements must be prepared in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles.
Guidance on Close Personal Friend and Close Business Associate Determination
A “close personal friend” of a director, executive officer, founder or control person of an issuer is an individual who knows the director, executive officer, founder or control person well enough and has known them for a sufficient period of time to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and to obtain information from them with respect to the investment.
The following factors are relevant to this determination:
(a) | the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person, | |
(b) | the nature of the relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person including such matters as the frequency of contacts between them and the level of trust and reliance in the other circumstances, and | |
(c) | the number of “close personal friends” of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance on the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption. |
- 26 - |
An individual is not a close personal friend solely because the individual is:
(a) | a relative, | |
(b) | a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group, | |
(c) | a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace, | |
(d) | a client, customer, former client or former customer, | |
(e) | a mere acquaintance, or | |
(f) | connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. |
The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemption is not available to a close personal friend of a close personal friend of a director of the issuer. Further, a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an internet forum is not considered to be that of a close personal friend.
A “close business associate” is an individual who has had sufficient prior business dealings with a director, executive officer, founder or control person of the issuer to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and to obtain information from them with respect to the investment.
The following factors are relevant to this determination:
(a) | the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person, | |
(b) | the nature of any specific business relationships between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, including, for each relationship, when it began, the frequency of contact between them and when it terminated if it is not ongoing, and the level of trust and reliance in the other circumstances, | |
(c) | the nature and number of any business dealings between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, the length of the period during which they occurred, and the nature and date of the most recent business dealing, and | |
(d) | the number of “close business associates” of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance on the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption. |
An individual is not a close business associate solely because the individual is:
(a) | a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group, | |
(b) | a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace, | |
(c) | a client, customer, former client or former customer, | |
(d) | a mere acquaintance, or | |
(e) | connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. |
The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemptions are not available for a close business associate of a close business associate of a director of the issuer. Further, a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an internet forum is not considered to be that of a close business associate.

You are buying Exempt Market Securities. They are called exempt market securities because two parts of securities law do not apply to them. If an issuer wants to sell exempt market securities to you:
● | the issuer does not have to give you a prospectus (a document that describes the investment in detail and gives you some legal protections), and | |
● | the securities do not have to be sold by an investment dealer registered with a securities regulatory authority or regulator. |
There are restrictions on your ability to resell exempt market securities. Exempt market securities are more risky than other securities.
You may not receive any written information about the issuer or its business. If you have any questions about the issuer or its business, ask for written clarification before you purchase the securities. You should consult your own professional advisers before investing in the securities.
The securities you are buying are not listed. The securities you are buying are not listed on any stock exchange, and they may never be listed. There may be no market for these securities. You may never be able to sell these securities.
For more information on the exempt market, refer to the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission’s website at xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx.xx.xx.
[Instruction: The purchaser must sign 2 copies of this form. The purchaser and the issuer must each receive a signed copy.]

UNITED STATES ACCREDITED INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE
Capitalized terms used in this United States Accredited Investor Questionnaire (this “Questionnaire”) and not specifically defined have the meaning ascribed to them in the Private Placement Subscription Agreement between the undersigned (the “Subscriber”) and AppCoin Innovations Inc. (the “Issuer”) to which this Questionnaire is attached.
This Questionnaire applies only to persons that are U.S. Purchasers. A “U.S. Purchaser” is: (a) any U.S. Person, (b) any person purchasing the Subscription Receipts on behalf of any U.S. Person, (c) any person that receives or received an offer of the Subscription Receipts while in the United States, or (d) any person that is in the United States at the time the Subscriber’s buy order was made or this Agreement was executed or delivered.

The Securities are being offered and sold within the United States only to “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE GOOD DELIVERY IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN CANADA.”

1.1 | This is to certify that, in consideration of the purchase price of $♦ (the “Escrowed Funds”), ♦ [NAME OF HOLDER] (the “Holder”), of ♦[ADDRESS OF HOLDER], is the registered holder of ♦ [number] subscription receipts (each, a “Subscription Receipt”) of the Issuer. |
1.2 | Each Subscription Receipt will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Subscription Receipt Certificate and subject to the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Escrow Agreement between the Issuer and the Escrow Agent dated ♦ , or in any certificate issued in replacement hereof (in any case, this “Certificate”), be convertible, without payment of any additional consideration by the Holder, into one common share in the capital of the Issuer (each, a “Share”) at a deemed price of USD$0.60 per Share. |
1.3 | Any capitalized term used but not defined herein will have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Subscription Agreement between the Holder and the Issuer having an acceptance date by the Issuer of even date herewith (the “Subscription Agreement”). |
- 42 - |
1.4 | On the earlier of: (a) the delivery by the Issuer to the Escrow Agent of the Release Notice; (b) the Escrow Deadline; and (c) the delivery by the Issuer to the Escrow Agent of the Default Notice (in any case, the “Expiry Time”): |
(a) | if the Escrow Release Condition has been met, the Subscription Receipts will be deemed exercised on the earlier of: (A) the date of delivery by the Issuer of the Release Notice to the Escrow Agent, or (B) the date of the Escrow Deadline, and will automatically convert into Shares pursuant to the terms hereof. For more specificity, the Holder shall not be required to surrender the Subscription Receipts to the Escrow Agent in order to receive the Shares to which the Holder is entitled on the deemed exercise, or | |
(b) | if the Issuer delivers the Default Notice to the Escrow Agent, or if the Escrow Deadline occurs without satisfaction of the Escrow Release Condition, the Subscription Receipts will expire and, together with this Certificate, will be null and void and of no further force and effect on and after such time, and the Holder will be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent a refund of the Escrowed Funds, without interest thereon and less any applicable expenses to return the Escrowed Funds, to be refunded in the same format and, if applicable, to the same account, as the Escrowed Funds were initially delivered by, or from, the Holder to the Escrow Agent, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Holder and the Escrow Agent; and | |
(c) | the Subscription Receipts and this Certificate will be void and of no value or effect, provided that, if the Issuer has not then performed any of its obligations hereunder, no rights of the Holder against the Issuer will be diminished or affected. |
1.5 | The number of Shares the Holder is entitled to acquire upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof. |
2. | Satisfaction of Escrow Release Condition |
2.1 | If the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied on or prior to the Escrow Deadline: |
(a) | on the earlier of: (i) the date of delivery by the Issuer to the Escrow Agent of the Release Notice, or (ii) the Escrow Deadline (in either case, the “Issuance Date”), each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert into one Share on the basis of the Subscription Rate (as defined herein), subject to adjustment as provided for in Section 4, without the payment of any consideration or the undertaking of any further action by the Holder; | |
(b) | the Shares will be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder will be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Shares as of the Issuance Date and, within five Business Days after the Issuance Date, the Issuer shall cause the Issuer’s Transfer Agent to issue the Shares by way of book entry on the register maintained by the Issuer’s Transfer Agent for the appropriate number of Shares issuable upon deemed exercise of the Subscription Receipts; and | |
(c) | the Subscription Receipts and this Certificate will be void and of no value or effect, provided that, if the Issuer has not then performed any of its obligations hereunder, no rights of the Holder against the Issuer will be diminished or affected. |
2.2 | Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate, the Issuer will not be required to issue fractions of Shares to the Holder. To the extent that the Holder holds one or more Subscription Receipts that otherwise entitle it to receive, on the conversion thereof, a fraction of a Share, the Holder may exercise that right in respect of the fraction only in combination with other Subscription Receipts that, in the aggregate, entitle the Holder to acquire a whole number of Shares. |
- 43 - |
2.3 | If any of the Shares are to be issued to a person other than the Holder, the Holder will comply with such requirements as the Issuer may prescribe, and pay to the Issuer all applicable transfer or similar taxes or fees required to be paid in connection therewith, and the Issuer will not be required to register the Shares unless the Holder has paid the amount of such tax or fee, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Issuer, that such fee or tax has been paid or that no such fee or tax is required. |
2.4 | Other than as set out in the Subscription Agreement, none of the Subscription Receipts, nor the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts, have been or will be registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws. As a result, the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts may not be issued within the United States or by or for the benefit of a U.S. Person, and may not be delivered within the United States unless: (a) such Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act and the securities laws of all applicable states (unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available); or (b) the Holder was the original purchaser of the Subscription Receipts and completed Exhibit C (United States Accredited Investor Questionnaire) to the Subscription Agreement and the representations and warranties made by the Holder therein remain true and correct at the time of conversion. |
3. | Failure to Satisfy Escrow Release Condition |
3.1 | If the Escrow Release Condition has not been satisfied by the Escrow Deadline, or if the Issuer delivers the Default Notice to the Escrow Agent, then: |
(a) | the Issuer will cause the Escrow Agent to return the Escrowed Funds (without interest thereon and less any applicable expenses to return the Escrowed Funds) to the Holder within five business days of the earlier of: (i) the delivery of the Default Notice, and (ii) the Escrow Deadline; and | |
(b) | the Subscription Receipts and this Certificate will be void and of no value or effect, provided that, if the Issuer has not then performed any of its obligations hereunder, no rights of the Holder against the Issuer will be diminished or affected. |

(e) | in the event of a pro rata cancellation of capital attributable to the Shares, the number of Subscription Receipts will be reduced in the same ratio as the capital attributable to the Shares; and | |
(f) | in the event of any other reorganization of the Shares, the number of Subscription Receipts will be reorganized so that neither the Holder nor the holders of the Shares will benefit or be harmed relative to each other by such reorganization. |
4.3 | There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Subscription Receipts and the Holder will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered or made to shareholders of the Issuer prior to the Expiry Time. |
4.4 | In the event of any new or bonus issue of Shares by the Issuer prior to the Expiry Time, there will be no change in the number of Shares into which the Subscription Receipts can be converted. |

9.1 | All notices and other communications hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication, including email or other means of electronic communication capable of producing a printed copy.
