3.10 In order to remove the legend from any Units, Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares in order to facilitate sales by the Subscriber in qualifying offshore transactions pursuant to Rule 904 of Regulation S, the Company will require the delivery of a declaration of the Subscriber in the form of declaration attached hereto as Schedule B confirming the satisfaction of each of the above conditions in Section 3.09 prior to any legend removal (the “Rule 904 Declaration”) and must otherwise be satisfied that the conditions have been satisfied. The Company will cause the legend to be removed by Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as transfer agent for the Company (the “Transfer Agent”), from certificates representing the Shares for any resales pursuant to Rule 904 of Regulation S after the expiry of the initial forty-one day restrictive period. The legend will be removed in one of the following three scenarios, at the election of the Subscriber:

  (a)

  (b)
the Company will, at the request of the Subscriber, deliver to the Transfer Agent the irrevocable instruction of the Company to remove the legend from the certificates representing the Shares upon expiry of the initial forty-one day restrictive period and delivery by the Subscriber of the Rule 904 Declaration to the Transfer Agent. In this event, the Subscriber will be entitled to deliver the certificates representing the Shares to the Transfer Agent with the Rule 904 Declaration and will be delivered certificates representing the shares without legend.
   
  (c)
the Company will, at the request of the Subscriber, enter into an escrow agreement with a third party acceptable to the Company and the Subscriber (an “Escrow Agent”), in substantially the form of agreement attached hereto as Schedule C, whereby:
   
   
(i)
the certificates representing the Shares would be delivered to the Escrow Agent together with the irrevocable direction of the Company to the Transfer Agent to remove the legend from the certificates representing the Shares (the “Letter of Instruction”);
   
   
(ii)
the Escrow Agent would agree to hold the certificates for the 41 day period from the date of the issuance of the Shares to the Subscriber;
   
   
(iii)
After the expiry of the minimum forty-one day period, the Escrow Agent would agree to deliver the certificates and the Letter of Instruction to the Transfer Agent upon delivery by the Subscriber of the Rule 904 Declaration. Upon receipt of replacement share certificates without the restrictive legend, the Escrow Agent would deliver the replacement share certificates to the Subscriber;
   
   
(iv)
The Escrow Agent will deliver the certificates to the Subscriber upon the expiry of the one year period from the date of the Subscription Agreement in the event that the certificates have not been released to the Subscriber by such date. In this event, the Letter of Instruction would be delivered to the Company;
   
   
(v)
The Subscriber would be entitled to demand delivery of the certificates representing the Shares at any time without delivery of the Rule 904 declaration and in this event the certificates representing the shares would be delivered to the Subscriber, with the restrictive legend endorsed thereon, and the Letter of Instruction would be delivered to the Company.

The Company further agrees to enter into similar arrangements on the terms outlined above with respect to any Warrant Shares that may be issued upon exercise by the Subscriber of any Warrants.

4.               REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SUBSCRIBER

The Subscriber, represents and warrants to the Company as follows, and acknowledges that the Company is relying upon such covenants, representations and warranties in connection with the sale of the Units to such Subscriber:


4.1 The Subscriber is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Units. The Subscriber can bear the economic risk of this investment, and was not organized for the purpose of acquiring the Units.

4.2 The Subscriber has had full opportunity to review the Company’s filings with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the Company’s annual reports on Form 10-KSB and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, and additional information regarding the business and financial condition of the Company. The Subscriber believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Units. The Subscriber further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Offering and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The Subscriber has had full opportunity to discuss this information with the Subscriber’s legal and financial advisers prior to execution of this Agreement.

4.3. The Subscriber acknowledges that the offering of the Units by the Company has not been reviewed by the SEC and that the Units are being issued by the Company pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

4.4 The Subscribers understands that the Units it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Subscriber represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

4.5 The Units will be acquired by the Subscriber for investment for the Subscriber's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Subscriber has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Subscriber does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Units.

4.6 An investment in the Company is highly speculative and only Subscribers who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Units. The Subscriber is financially able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Company.

4.7 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Units involves a high degree of risk in that the Company is in the early stages of development of its business and may require substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of this private placement.

4.8 The Subscriber is not aware of any advertisement of the Units.

4.9 This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by the Subscriber.


4.10 The Subscriber has satisfied himself or herself as to the full observance of the laws of his or her jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Units or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within his jurisdiction for the purchase of the Units; (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to an investment in the Units; and (v) any restrictions on transfer applicable to any disposition of the Units imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Subscriber is resident.

5.                BRITISH COLUMBIA MATTERS

5.1 The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that the Subscriber is an “Accredited Investor” as defined by Subsection 1.1 of Multilateral Instrument 45-103 adopted by the British Columbia Securities Commission and as outlined in Schedule A attached to this Subscription Agreement.

5.2 The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that the Subscriber is not a resident of British Columbia.

5.3 The Subscriber acknowledges that the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed of for value in British Columbia, except pursuant to either a prospectus or statutory exemption available only in specific and limited circumstances.

6.               MISCELLANEOUS

6.1 Any notice or other communication given hereunder shall be deemed sufficient if in writing and sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the Company, at its head office at Suite 505, 1111 West Georgia Street, Vancouver British Columbia V6E 4M3, Attention: Mr. Garry Anselmo, President, and to the Subscriber at his/her address indicated on the last page of this Subscription Agreement. Notices shall be deemed to have been given on the date of mailing, except notices of change of address, which shall be deemed to have been given when received.

6.2 The parties agree to execute and deliver all such further documents, agreements and instruments and take such other and further action as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Subscription Agreement.


6.3 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein. The parties hereby submit to personal jurisdiction in the Courts of the Province of British Columbia for the enforcement of this Agreement and waive any and all rights under the laws of any state to object to jurisdiction within the Province of British Columbia for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Subscription Agreement is executed as of the day and year first written above.
