TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUBSCRIPTION FOR SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS
1.
Subscription
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 $0.25 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
Upon the occurrence of the Escrow Release Condition (as defined herein), each Subscription Receipt will automatically be exercised into one share of common stock 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 (the “Offering”).
1.4
All dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are in lawful money of the United States of America, 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, or as otherwise directed by the Subscriber.
2.
Payment and Escrow Provisions
2.1
At the closing of the Offering (the “Closing”), the Subscriber will deliver to the Escrow Agent payment of the Subscription Amount (the “Escrowed Funds”) by wire transfer, in accordance with the wire instructions set out in Exhibit E, attached hereto, which Escrowed Funds will be held in escrow, on behalf of the Subscriber, 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”).
2.2
The Escrowed Funds will be held by the Escrow Agent, pending receipt by the Escrow Agent of confirmation of the declaration by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of the effectiveness of the Issuer’s registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Escrow Release Condition”). The Subscriber acknowledges that, as of the Closing, the Form S-1 will not yet have been filed by the Issuer and, as such, the Escrow Release Condition may never be satisfied.
2.3
In the event that the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied prior to 5:00 p.m. (Nevada time) on May 29, 2015 (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, the Escrow Agent will immediately release the Escrowed Funds to the Issuer and 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. Notwithstanding the fulfilment of the Escrow Release Condition prior to the Escrow Deadline, the Subscriber agrees that the Escrow Agent will continue to hold any certificate(s) representing the Shares for a period of 12 months from the Issuance Date (as defined in the certificate representing the Subscription Receipts).
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, and the Subscriber will be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent a cheque representing refund of the Escrowed Funds, without interest thereon.
2.5
For greater certainty, the Subscription Receipts will be issued at Closing by the Issuer and the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it will be acquiring Subscription Receipts pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. It is further acknowledged and agreed that if the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied by the Escrow Deadline: (a) the Subscription Receipts will be exercised and will convert automatically, with no further action on the part of the Subscriber, into Shares, and (b) the Subscriber agrees that the Escrow Agent will continue to hold any certificate(s) representing the Shares for a period of 12 months from the Issuance Date (as defined in the certificate representing the Subscription Receipts). 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.
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 exchange and 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. If the Release Notice is not provided to the Escrow Agent, 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 specific attributes of the Subscription Receipts will be as set forth in the certificate representing the Subscription Receipts, which will be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.
3.

If the Subscriber is not a U.S. Person, the Subscriber hereby acknowledges that, upon the issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under applicable securities laws, any certificates representing any of the Securities will bear a legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN OFFERED IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION TO PERSONS WHO ARE NOT U.S. PERSONS PURSUANT TO REGULATION S UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”).
NONE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE 1933 ACT, OR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, UNLESS SO REGISTERED, NONE MAY BE OFFERED OR SOLD, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED HEREIN) EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S UNDER THE 1933 ACT, PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT AND IN EACH CASE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.

This is to certify that, in consideration of the purchase price of $ (the “Escrowed Funds”), [INSERT NAME OF SUBSCRIBER] (the “Holder”) of [INSERT ADDRESS OF SUBSCRIBER is the registered holder of () subscription receipts (each, a “Subscription Receipt”) of the Issuer.
(2)
Each Subscription Receipt will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Subscription Receipt Certificate, or in any certificate issued in replacement hereof (in any case, this “Certificate”), be exercisable, without payment of any additional consideration, into one share of common stock of the Issuer (each, a “Share”) at a deemed price of US$0.25 per Share by the Holder.
(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”).
(4)
On the date that is the earlier of: (a) the date on which the Issuer delivers the Release Notice to the Escrow Agent; (b) 5:00 p.m. (Nevada time) on the Escrow Deadline; and (c) the date on which the Issuer delivers the Default Notice to the Escrow Agent (in any case, the “Expiry Date”):

(ii)
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, be null and void and of no further force and effect on and after the Escrow Deadline, and the Holder will be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent a cheque representing refund of the Escrowed Funds, without interest thereon; and
(iii)
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.
(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.

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 on the Issuance Date;

(3)
If any of the Shares are to be issued to a person or persons other than the Holder, the Holder will comply with such reasonable 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.
