2.3	Judgment Interest

If the Holder obtains judgment on this Note or in respect of any amount owing hereunder, interest at the rate of 6% per annum, calculated monthly, not in advance, shall be payable on the amount which is outstanding under the said judgment.

With a reasonable time after the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder, by registered mail to the Holder’s address specified in the register of the Corporation, a certificate for the appropriate number of shares of Common Shares.

Notice

ARTICLE 4

ANTI-DILUTION

4.1	Adjustment for Capital Changes

If, prior to the Exercise Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, a Relevant Event shall have occurred then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date determined for purposes, on the date or the effective date, as the case may be, of such Relevant Event by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Shares outstanding on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, before giving effect to the Relevant Event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Relevant Event including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Shares are distributed, the number of shares of Common Shares that would be outstanding if such securities were exchanged for or converted into shares of Common Shares. From and after any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the number of shares of Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Note shall also be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Common Shares then otherwise issuable by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment.

4.2	Convertible Instruments

For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of convertible instruments of the Corporation shall not be considered a Relevant Event prompting an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Shares of the Corporation to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this ARTICLE 4.

Appendix “A’

Form of Warrant

UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE JANUARY 26, 2013.

NEULION, INC.

(a Delaware corporation)

WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

CERTIFICATE NO.: 2012PP-__

_______________ WARRANTS

THIS IS TO CERTIFY that _____________ (the “Holder”) is the registered holder of warrants (each a “Warrant”) to purchase from NeuLion, Inc. (the “Corporation”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant Certificate, up to the number of fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Corporation set forth above (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of US$0.30 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder is entitled to acquire upon exercise of these Warrants and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. The Warrants shall become wholly void and the unexercised portion of the subscription rights represented hereby will expire and terminate at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date.

2.	Definitions. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings, unless the context shall otherwise require:

“Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, NY are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

“Exercise Date” means the date on which the Corporation shall have received the Exercise Notice attached as Schedule A hereto duly executed by the Holder hereof.

“Expiration Date” means March 21, 2015.

“Fair Market Value” means the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock of the Corporation on the Corporation’s primary exchange for the five trading days immediately prior to the date the Exercise Notice is received by the Corporation

Exercise; Payment of Taxes. At any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Holder may exercise all or any number of Warrants represented hereby, upon delivering to the Corporation at its principal office at 1600 Old Country Road, Plainview, NY 11803 a duly completed and executed exercise notice in the form attached as Schedule A hereto (the “Exercise Notice”) evidencing the election (which on delivery to the Corporation shall be irrevocable) of the Holder to exercise the number of Warrants set forth in the Exercise Notice. Warrant exercise will take place on a cashless basis, which will result in the Holder receiving the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the intrinsic value of the Warrants being exercised by the Fair Market Value. The intrinsic value per share will be determined by subtracting the Exercise Price from the Fair Market Value (conversion from CDN dollars to US dollars will take place). As a result of the cashless exercise, the Holder will not make any payment to the Corporation in connection with exercising the Warrants. If the Holder is not exercising all Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a Warrant certificate representing the number of Warrants which is the difference between the number of Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and the number of Warrants being so exercised.

The Corporation shall pay all taxes and other expenses and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of certificates pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, except where such certificates are to be registered in the name or names other than the Holder or its nominee.

The Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of shares of Common Stock on the Exercise Date; provided, however, that if such date is not a Business Day then the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock on the next following Business Day. With a reasonable time after the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder, by registered mail to the Holder’s address specified in the register of the Corporation, a certificate for the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock.

Adjustment for Capital Changes. If, prior to the Expiration Date, a Relevant Event shall have occurred then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date determined for purposes, on the date or the effective date, as the case may be, of such Relevant Event by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, before giving effect to the Relevant Event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Relevant Event including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock are distributed, the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding if such securities were exchanged for or converted into shares of Common Stock. From and after any adjustment of the Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Warrants shall also be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock then otherwise issuable by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of convertible instruments of the Corporation shall not be considered a Relevant Event prompting an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 3.

Warrant Holders Not Deemed to be Stockholders. The Holder shall not, by virtue of holding Warrants, be entitled to vote or to receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock that may at any time be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issue or reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger or conveyance or otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights, until the Holder shall have exercised this Warrant and been issued shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Fractional Shares. To the extent that the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate confer the right to acquire a fraction of a share of Common Stock, such right may be exercised in respect of such fraction only in combination with one or more Warrants which in the aggregate entitle the Holder to acquire a whole number of shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant and the Holder will not be entitled to any cash payment as compensation in lieu of the exercise of the Warrants for a fractional share of Common Stock.

Compliance with Securities Act and Legend. The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof are subject to statutory restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws, applicable Canadian securities laws and the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“Applicable Securities Laws”) and may not be traded until the expiry of certain hold periods, except as permitted by and in compliance with Applicable Securities Laws. The Holder acknowledges that, until such time as the same is no longer required under Applicable Securities Laws, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, shall bear one or more of the following legends, as applicable:

UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE JANUARY 26, 2013.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE; HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY, ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT “GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE.”

8.	Miscellaneous.

(a)

If any Warrant certificate becomes stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed, the Corporation, shall, on such terms as it may in its discretion acting reasonably impose, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant certificate of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant certificate so stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed.

(b)

In the event of a dispute concerning an adjustment made for capital changes, such matters shall be conclusively determined by the independent auditor of the Corporation.

(c)

If any date upon or by which any action is required to be taken by the Corporation or the Holder is not a Business Day then such action shall be required to be taken on or by the next day which is a Business Day. In the event the Expiration Date falls on a date which is not a Business Day, the Expiration Date shall be extended to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.
