TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUBSCRIPTION FOR SECURITIES
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 Shares and Warrants as is set forth on page 1 of this Agreement at an aggregate price equal to $1.53 multiplied by the number of Shares purchased, for the Subscription Amount shown on page 1 of this Agreement, which is tendered herewith (such subscription and agreement to purchase being the “ Subscription ”), and the Issuer agrees to sell the Shares and Warrants to the Subscriber, effective upon the Issuer’s acceptance of this Agreement.
1.2 The Warrants will be transferable. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Warrant Share, as presently constituted, for a period of twenty-four (24) months commencing from the Closing Date at an exercise price of $2.40 per Warrant Share; provided, however, that the holder shall not be entitled to exercise the Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares if, and to the extent that, such exercise would result in the holder being a “related party” of the Issuer within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “ Ownership Limitation ”), and subject further to the Acceleration Provision and Debenture Acceleration Provision described below. The Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares and Spacecom Convertible Debenture (as defined herein) are referred to herein as the “ Securities ”.
1.3 In the event that the Shares have a closing price on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “ CSE ”) (or such other exchange on which the Shares may principally be traded at such time) of greater than $2.64 per Share for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days at any time after four months and one day from the Closing Date (the " Acceleration Threshold "), the Issuer may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants (the “ Acceleration Provision ”) by giving notice to the holders thereof by no later than five (5) days following such tenth (10[th] ) consecutive trading day; in such case, the Warrants will expire on the thirtieth (30[th] ) day after the date on which such notice is given to the holder by the Issuer (the " Acceleration Exercise Deadline ").
1.4 In the event that the Acceleration Threshold is reached during the term of the Warrant and the Issuer has delivered a notice of exercise of the Acceleration Provision in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Certificate (as defined herein) and the Subscriber has provided written notice to the Issuer that they are unable to purchase any Warrant Shares underlying such Warrants due to the Ownership Limitation (the “ Ineligible Shares ”) prior to the expiry of the Acceleration Exercise Deadline, the Subscriber may within five (5) calendar days of such notice (the " Option Exercise Date "), at its option, choose to subscribe for a convertible debenture of the Issuer (the " Spacecom Convertible Debenture "), in the form to be attached to the Warrant Certificate, in a principal amount which is equal to up to the product of (A) $2.40 multiplied by (B) the number of Ineligible Shares (the " Debenture Acceleration Provision "). The principal amount of the Spacecom Convertible Debenture may be converted by the
AC/7955588.2 8745463.13
Page 4 of 26
Subscriber into Shares at a fixed conversion price of $2.40 per Share, subject again to the Ownership Limitation. The Subscriber shall complete, sign and return to the Issuer as soon as possible, on request by the Issuer, any additional documents, questionnaires, notices and undertakings as may be reasonably requested by Issuer's counsel and/or required by any regulatory authorities and applicable law in connection with the subscription for the Spacecom Convertible Debenture. Provided that notwithstanding the foregoing if the Subscriber chooses not to subscribe for the Spacecom Convertible Debenture on the Option Exercise Date the Warrant will immediately terminate and shall have no further force or effect.
1.5 The Subscriber acknowledges that the Securities have been offered to the Subscriber as part of an offering by the Issuer of additional Shares and Warrants to other subscribers for aggregate gross proceeds to the Issuer of up to $11,000,000 (the “ Offering ”).
2. Payment
2.1 The Subscription Amount must accompany this Subscription and shall be paid by, unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer: (i) if the Subscriber is drawing funds from a Canadian bank to pay for this Subscription, a certified cheque or bank draft drawn on a Canadian chartered bank or by wire to the Issuer; or (ii) 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 Issuer pursuant to the wiring instructions to be provided by the Issuer to the Subscriber. The Subscriber authorizes the Issuer to treat any Subscription Amounts advanced to the Issuer as an interest free loan until the closing of the Offering (the " Closing ").
2.2 The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the Subscription Amount and any other documents delivered in connection herewith will be held 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 Subscription Amount (without interest thereon) and any other documents delivered in connection herewith will be returned to the Subscriber at the address of the Subscriber as set forth on page 1 of this Agreement.

Guidance on Accredited Investor Exemptions for Individuals
An individual accredited investor is an individual:
-
(a) who, either alone or with a spouse, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 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; or
-
(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.
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
AC/7955588.2 8745463.13
Page 22 of 26
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.
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
AC/7955588.2 8745463.13
Page 23 of 26
- (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.
The Subscriber agrees that the above representations and warranties will be true and correct both as of the execution of this Questionnaire and as of the Closing and acknowledges that they will survive the completion of the issue of the Securities.
