ONE SHARE OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND TWO WARRANTS, CLASS A AND CLASS B.
Subscription
The undersigned (the “Subscriber”) hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from FACT Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Corporation”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, that number of Units (the “Units”) set forth on the Subscription Agreement Face Page (the “Face Page”), at the subscription price of US$0.25 (the “Subscription Price”) per Unit for a total investment as set forth on the Face Page. Each Unit consists of one (1) Share of Common Stock of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) and a Class A warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional share of Common Stock at any time on or before the first anniversary of the issuance of such warrant at an exercise price of US$0.30 per share, and a Class B entitling the holder to purchase an additional share of Common Stock at any time on or before the second anniversary of the issuance of such warrant at an exercise price of US$0.35 per share (the “Warrants”). The shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares”. The Units, Common Stock, Warrants and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.
The Subscriber agrees to pay to the Corporation the Subscription Price for the Units subscribed for hereunder by delivering to the Corporation, concurrent upon the execution of this private placement subscription agreement (“Agreement”), a wire transfer, a certified cheque, bank draft or money order for the full amount of the Subscription Price for the Units subscribed for hereunder. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the acceptance of the subscription is subject to rejection or allotment, in whole or in part, by the Corporation. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Units subscribed for hereunder form part of a larger private placement (the “Private Placement”) of up to a maximum of US$750,000. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Agreement to “$” or “dollars” refer to the currency of the United States of America. No fractional shares of the Corporation will be issued.
The Subscriber acknowledges that the Common Stocks are being sold by the Corporation in the United States of America (the “US”) and in other jurisdictions where it is legal to do so. Subject to the terms hereof, the subscription will be effective upon its acceptance by the Corporation. The Private Placement may be subject to minimum subscriptions for different jurisdictions. Each subscriber should check in this form to see if the subscription amount meets the requirements in their respective jurisdiction or contact the Corporation in regard to the required minimum subscription required for the investor’s subscribing jurisdiction. The Private Placement is not subject to minimum aggregate subscription level except for those minimum subscriptions required for each jurisdiction and, upon closing, all subscription proceeds will be retained by the Corporation in accordance with the terms hereof. Subscription proceeds may be accepted in one or more closings of this Private Placement. The closing of the Private Placement will be subject to receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals.

Representations, Warranties, Acknowledgements and Covenants of the Subscriber

|
(a)
|
The Subscriber is located outside the “United States,” as such term is defined in Regulation S, and is not a “U.S. person,” as such term is defined in Regulation S, and is not purchasing the Common Stocks by or on behalf a person inside the United States or a U.S. Person. The purchase of the Common Stocks was conducted in an “offshore transaction,” as such term is defined in Regulation S, such that when the offer to purchase the Common Stocks was made, such Subscriber was not a person within the United States, and at the time of purchase, the Subscriber is located outside the United States.
|
|
(b)
|
The Subscriber is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act, applicable state securities laws and applicable Canadian securities laws; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Subscriber reserves the right to dispose of all or any part of the Common Stocks at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Securities or an available exemption under the 1933 Act, including, without limitation, Regulation S promulgated under the 1933 Act (“Regulation S”). The Subscriber further represents that in consummating the transactions set forth herein: there is no intent to place the Securities offshore in an attempt to evade registration requirements with the result that the incidents of ownership never leave the domestic market, or that all or a substantial portion of any economic risk will be returned to the U.S. market during the restricted period under Rule 903 or that there is no reasonable expectation that the securities could be viewed as actually coming to rest abroad. There is no intent on the part of the Subscriber to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby for the purpose of “washing off” the resale restrictions through the use of Rule 904. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Subscriber to hold the Securities for any period of time, except that the Subscriber agrees that in connection with the resale of any Securities under Regulation S to comply with the offering restrictions set forth in Regulation S, including Rule 903(b)(2), and to not sell any Securities during the distribution compliance period as defined in Rule 903(b)(2) to a U.S. person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person. Such Subscriber is acquiring the Common Stocks hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Subscriber does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any of the Securities, in violation of United States federal or state securities laws or applicable Canadian or provincial securities laws.
|
|
(c)
|
The Subscriber has been independently advised as to restrictions with respect to trading in the Securities imposed by applicable securities legislation in the jurisdiction in which it resides, confirms that no representation has been made to it by or on behalf of the Corporation with respect thereto, acknowledges that it is aware of the characteristics of the Securities, the risks relating to an investment therein and of the fact that it may not be able to resell the Securities except pursuant to exemptions under applicable securities legislation and regulatory policy and that the Securities will be subject to resale restrictions and will bear a legend to this effect;
|
5
|
(d)
|
The Subscriber understands that the Common Stocks are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions or exclusions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and applicable Canadian securities laws and that the Corporation is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Subscriber to acquire such securities.
|
|
(e)
|
The decision to execute this Agreement and purchase the Securities agreed to be purchased hereunder has not been based upon any oral or written representation as to fact or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Corporation, and that the decision is based entirely upon its review (the receipt of which is acknowledged) of information which has been filed by the Corporation with the applicable securities commissions or exchange in compliance, or intended compliance with applicable securities legislation, including any of the Corporation's financial information currently available. The Subscriber understands that its investment in the Common Stocks involves a high degree of risk. The Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered necessary, to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Common Stocks.
|
|
(f)
|
The Subscriber understands that: (i) the Common Stocks and the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) such Subscriber shall have delivered to the Corporation an opinion of counsel in a form reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to the effect that such securities to be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements. The Corporation reserves the right to place stop transfer instructions against the shares and certificates for the Securities.
|
|
(g)
|
The Subscriber understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Common Stock and all certificates issued in substitution thereof and in exchange therefore shall bear restrictive legends in substantially the following forms (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such share certificates), until such time as it is no longer required under applicable securities laws:
|
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION/EXERCISE HEREOF] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES.

6
The legends set forth above shall be removed and the Corporation within two (2) business days shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder, unless the legend is otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) in connection with a sale transaction, provided the Common Stocks are registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or (ii) in connection with a sale transaction, after such holder provides the Corporation with an opinion of counsel, which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Common Stock, may be made without registration under the 1933 Act.
