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.
Subscription Agreement (with related appendices, acknowledgements, provisions and forms) |
Page 3 of 27 pages |
There are restrictions on your ability to resell exempt market securities. Exempt market securities are more risky than other securities.
You will receive an offering memorandum
Read the offering memorandum carefully because it has important information about the issuer and its securities. Keep the offering memorandum because you have rights based on it. Talk to a lawyer for details about these rights.
For more information on the exempt market, call your local securities regulatory authority:
British Columbia Securities Commission, (000) 000-0000, xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xx.xx/
Alberta Securities Commission, (000) 000-0000, xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx
Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission, (000) 000-0000, xxx.xxxx.xxx.xx.xx
Manitoba Securities Commission, (000)000-0000, xxx.xxx.xxx.xx.xx
Autorité des marchés financiers, (000) 000-0000, xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xx.xx
Contact information for other securities regulatory authorities are available at xxx.xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xx
The purchaser must sign two copies of this form. The purchaser and the issuer must each receive a signed copy.

NOTE: the provisions on this page are applicable ONLY if the Purchaser is in the United States or is a “U.S. person” as defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Delivery of certificates bearing such a legend may not constitute “good delivery” in settlement of transactions on Canadian stock exchanges or over-the-counter markets. If the Issuer is a “foreign issuer” with no “substantial U.S. market interest” (all within the meaning of Regulation S under the 0000 Xxx) at the time of sale, a new certificate, which will constitute “good delivery”, will be made available to the Purchaser upon provision by the Purchaser of a declaration in the form attached as Appendix “A” together with such other evidence of the availability of an exemption as the Issuer or its transfer agent may reasonably require.
Certificates representing Warrants, and all certificates issued in exchange therefore or in substitution thereof, shall bear the following legend in substantially the following form:
“THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES DELIVERABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE EXERCISED BY OR ON BEHALF OF A “U.S. PERSON” OR A PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES UNLESS THE WARRANT AND THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LEGISLATION OF ANY SUCH STATE OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS IS AVAILABLE. “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” ARE AS DEFINED BY REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.”

It understands and agrees that there may be material tax consequences to the Purchaser of an acquisition or disposition of the Securities. The Issuer gives no opinion and makes no representation with respect to the tax consequences to the Purchaser under United States, state, local or foreign tax law of the undersigned’s acquisition or disposition of such Securities, in particular, no determination has been made whether the Issuer will be a “passive Foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) within the meaning of Section 1291 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. |
11. |
It understands and agrees that the financial statements of the Issuer have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, which differ in some respects from United States generally accepted accounting principles, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies. |
12. |
It consents to the Issuer making a notation on its records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Issuer in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described in this Certification and the Subscription Agreement. |
13. |
It is resident in the United States of America, its territories and possessions or any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (collectively the “United States”), a “U.S. Person” as such term is defined in Regulation S of the 1933 Act or was in the United States at the time the securities were offered or the Subscription Agreement was executed. |
14. |
It understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the 1933 Act and the rules of the SEC provide in substance that the Purchaser may dispose of the Securities only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom, and, other than as set out herein, the Purchaser understands that the Issuer has no obligation to register any of the Securities or to take action so as to permit sales pursuant to the 1933 Act (including Rule 144 thereunder). Accordingly, the Purchaser understands that absent registration, under the rules of the SEC, the Purchaser may be required to hold the Securities indefinitely or to transfer the Securities in “private placements” which are exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, in which event the transferee will acquire “restricted securities” subject to the same limitations as in the hands of the Purchaser. As a consequence, the Purchaser understands that it must bear the economic risks of the investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time. |
