ALTHOUGH AN OFFERING STATEMENT ON FORM 1-A FOR A TIER II OFFERING HAS BEEN FILED AND QUALIFIED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC"), THAT OFFERING STATEMENT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SAME INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement" or this "Subscription") is made and entered into as of [________ __, 20__], by and between the undersigned (the "Subscriber") and Algernon Neuroscience Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the "Company"), with reference to the facts set forth below.

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Subscriber wishes to irrevocably subscribe for and purchase (subject to acceptance of such subscription by the Company) common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share" and collectively, the "Common Shares") as more particularly set forth in Section 1 and on the signature page hereto, offered pursuant to that certain Offering Circular, incorporated into the Company's Form 1-A, filed and qualified with the SEC effective [________ __, 20__] (the "Offering Circular") of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to implement the foregoing, and in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Subscription for Common Shares.

1.1 Subject to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of Common Shares, at a price of US$1.00 per Common Share (the "Purchase"), for the aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase Price") set forth on the signature page to this Agreement. However, depending on the aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Subscriber, the Subscriber shall be entitled to receive additional Common Shares (each, a "Bonus Share") equal to five percent (5%), ten percent (10%), fifteen percent (15%), or twenty percent (20%) of the Common Shares purchased as follows:


 

Purchase Price Number of Bonus Shares and Deemed Price Per Share
   
$10,000 Tier 1
(5%)
500 Bonus Shares (deemed price per Common Share and Bonus Share of US$0.95)
     
$25,000 Tier 2
(10%)
2,500 Bonus Shares (deemed price per Common Share and Bonus Share of US$0.91)
     
$100,000 Tier 3
(15%)
15,000 Bonus Shares (deemed price per Common Share and Bonus Share of US$0.87)
     
$250,000 Tier 4
(20%)
50,000 Bonus Shares (deemed price per Common Share and Bonus Share of US$0.83)

In the event Bonus Shares are issued to a Subscriber, such will effectively act as a discount to the Purchase Price per Common Share and Bonus Share. If Bonus Shares are issued, the effective price per Common Share and Bonus Share will be calculated as the total Purchaser Price paid by the Subscriber divided by the total number of Common Shares and Bonus Shares issued to the Subscriber. The Common Shares and Bonus Shares are collectively referred to herein as, the "Shares", as the context requires.

Fractional Bonus Shares will not be issued and will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

1.2 The offering of Shares is described in the Offering Circular, which is available at www.algernonneuroscience.com (the "Site"), as well as on the EDGAR website of the SEC. Please read this Agreement and the Offering Circular. While they are subject to change, as described below, the Company advises the Subscriber to print and retain a copy of these documents for the Subscriber's records. By signing below, the Subscriber agrees to the following terms and consents to receive communications relating to the Shares electronically from the Company.

1.3 The Company has the right to reject this Subscription in whole or in part for any reason. The Subscriber may not cancel, terminate or revoke this Agreement, which, in the case of an individual, shall survive the Subscriber's death or disability and shall be binding upon the Subscriber and the Subscriber's heirs, trustees, beneficiaries, executors, personal or legal administrators or representatives, successors, transferees and assigns.

1.4 Once the Subscriber makes a funding commitment to purchase Common Shares, such commitment shall be irrevocable until the Common Shares, and any Bonus Shares, if applicable, are issued, the Purchase is rejected by the Company, or the Company otherwise determines not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


1.5 Upon acceptance of this Subscription by the Company, the Subscriber will become a stockholder of the Company as a holder of Common Shares and Bonus Shares, if applicable.

2. Purchase of Shares.

2.1 The Subscriber understands that the Purchase Price is payable with the execution and submission of this Agreement, and accordingly, will submit payment in the amount of the Purchase Price to the Company by certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds drawn on a United States bank in accordance with the banking instructions to be provided to the Subscriber upon execution and delivery of this Agreement to the Company.

2.2 If the Company returns the Subscriber's Purchase Price to the Subscriber, the Company will not owe or pay any interest to the Subscriber.

2.3 If this Subscription is accepted by the Company, the Subscriber agrees to comply fully with the terms of this Agreement, the Common Shares and Bonus Shares, if applicable, and all other applicable documents or instruments of the Company. The Subscriber further agrees to execute any other necessary documents or instruments in connection with this Subscription and the Subscriber's purchase of the Common Shares and Bonus Shares, if applicable.

2.4 In the event that this Subscription is rejected in full or the offering is terminated, payment made by the Subscriber for the Common Shares will be refunded to the Subscriber without interest and without deduction, and all of the obligations of the Subscriber hereunder shall terminate. To the extent that this Subscription is rejected in part, the Company shall refund to the Subscriber any payment made by the Subscriber to the Company with respect to the rejected portion of this Subscription without interest and without deduction, and all of the obligations of Subscriber hereunder shall remain in full force and effect except for those obligations with respect to the rejected portion of this Subscription, which shall terminate.

The Subscriber agrees to provide to the Company any additional documentation the Company may reasonably request, including, in addition to the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Annex A, any other documentation as may be required by the Company to form a reasonable basis that the Subscriber qualifies as an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501 under Regulation D promulgated under the Act.


3.2 The Subscriber, if an entity, is, and shall at all times while it holds Shares remain, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state or other jurisdiction of the United States of America (or non-U.S. country) of its incorporation or organization, having full power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as conducted. The Subscriber, if a natural person, is eighteen (18) years of age or older and competent to enter into a contractual obligation.

The Subscriber has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and has obtained the necessary authorization to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his, her or its obligations herein and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement, assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by the Company, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.

3.4 At no time has it been expressly or implicitly represented, guaranteed or warranted to the Subscriber by the Company or any other person that:

(a) A percentage of profit and/or amount or type of gain or other consideration will be realized as a result of this investment; or

(b) The past performance or experience on the part of the Company and/or its officers or directors in any way indicates the predictable or probable results of the ownership of Shares or the overall Company venture.

3.5 The Subscriber has received and reviewed this Agreement and the Offering Circular. The Subscriber and/or the Subscriber's advisors, who are not affiliated with and not compensated directly or indirectly by the Company or an affiliate thereof, have such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters as will enable them to utilize the information which they have received regarding the Company and its business to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment, to make an informed investment decision and to protect the Subscriber's own interests in connection with the Purchase.


3.6 The Subscriber understands that the Shares being purchased are a speculative investment which involves a substantial degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber's entire investment in the Shares, and the Subscriber understands and is fully cognizant of the risk factors related to the purchase of the Shares. The Subscriber has read, reviewed and understood the risk factors set forth in the Offering Circular.

3.7 The Subscriber understands that any forecasts or predictions as to the Company's performance are based on estimates, assumptions and forecasts that the Company believes to be reasonable but that may prove to be materially incorrect, and no assurance is given that actual results will correspond with the results contemplated by the various forecasts.

3.8 The Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares being purchased and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, is able to hold the Shares purchased for an indefinite period of time. The Subscriber has adequate means to provide for the Subscriber's current needs and personal contingencies and has a sufficient net worth to sustain the loss of the Subscriber's entire investment in the Company.

3.9 The Subscriber has had an opportunity to ask questions of the Company or anyone acting on behalf of the Company and to receive answers concerning the terms of this Agreement and the Shares, as well as information about the Company and its business generally, and to obtain any additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense, that is necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in this Agreement. Further, all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Subscriber.

3.10 The Subscriber understands that no state or federal authority in the U.S. or authority outside the U.S. has scrutinized the terms of this Agreement or the Shares offered pursuant hereto, has made any finding or determination relating to the fairness of an investment of the Shares, or has recommended or endorsed the Shares, and that the Shares have not been registered under the Act or any state securities laws, in reliance upon exemptions from registration thereunder.

3.11 The Subscriber is subscribing for and purchasing the Shares without being furnished any offering materials, other than the Offering Circular and this Agreement with the Annexes hereto, and such other related documents, agreements or instruments as may be attached to the foregoing documents as exhibits or supplements thereto, or as the Subscriber has otherwise requested from the Company in writing, and without receiving any representations or warranties from the Company or its agents and representatives other than the representations and warranties contained in said documents, and is making this investment decision solely in reliance upon the information contained in said documents and upon any independent investigation made by the Subscriber or the Subscriber's advisors.


3.12 The Subscriber's true and correct full legal name, address of residence (or, if an entity, principal place of business), phone number, electronic mail address, United States taxpayer identification number, if any, and other contact information are accurately provided on the signature page hereto. The Subscriber is currently a bona fide resident of the state or jurisdiction set forth in the current address provided to the Company. The Subscriber has no present intention of becoming a resident of any other state or jurisdiction.

3.13 The Subscriber is subscribing for and purchasing the Shares as a principal and solely for the Subscriber's own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view toward or in connection with resale, distribution (other than to its shareholders or members, if any), subdivision or fractionalization thereof. The Subscriber has no agreement or other arrangement, formal or informal, with any person or entity to sell, transfer or pledge any part of the Shares, or which would guarantee the Subscriber any profit, or insure against any loss with respect to the Shares, and the Subscriber has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement.

3.14 The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of the obligations hereunder will not conflict with or result in any violation of or default under any provision of any other agreement or instrument to which the Subscriber is a party or any license, permit, franchise, judgment, order, writ or decree, or any statute, rule or regulation, applicable to the Subscriber. The Subscriber confirms that the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, including, but not limited to, the Subscriber's Purchase, will not violate any foreign law and that such transactions are lawful in the Subscriber's country of citizenship and residence.

3.15 The Company's intent is to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws designed to combat money laundering and similar illegal activities, including the provisions of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the "PATRIOT Act").  The Subscriber agrees that, if at any time it is discovered that the Company has been or may be found to have violated the PATRIOT Act or any other anti-money laundering laws or regulations as a result of the Purchase or receipt of the Purchase Price, or if otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations, the Company may undertake appropriate actions, and the Subscriber agrees to cooperate with such actions, to ensure compliance with such laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, segregation and/or redemption of the Subscriber's interest in the Shares. The Subscriber agrees to provide any and all documentation requested by the Company to ensure compliance with the PATRIOT Act or other laws or regulations.

3.16 The Subscriber confirms that the Subscriber has been advised to consult with the Subscriber's independent attorney regarding legal matters concerning the Company, and to consult with independent tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of investing in the Company.

3.17 The Subscriber acknowledges that the purchase price per Common Share, subject to discount to the purchase price based on the aggregate purchase price and the number of Bonus Shares to be issued to the Subscriber, if any, to be sold in this offering was set by the Company on the basis of the Company's internal valuation, and no warranties are made as to value. The Subscriber further acknowledges that future offerings of securities of the Company may be made at lower valuations, with the result that the Subscriber's investment will bear a lower valuation.


4. Indemnification. The representations, warranties and covenants made by the Subscriber herein shall survive the closing of the Purchase. The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable attorneys' fees, including attorneys' fees on appeal) and expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any false representation or warranty or breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Subscriber herein or in any other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of the foregoing in connection with this transaction.

5. No Advisory Relationship. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arms-length transaction between the Subscriber and the Company. The Company is not acting as the Subscriber's agent or fiduciary in connection with the Purchase. The Company has not provided the Subscriber with any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the Shares, and the Subscriber has consulted his, her or its own respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent the Subscriber has deemed appropriate.

6. Bankruptcy. In the event that the Subscriber files or enters a bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding, the Subscriber agrees to use its best efforts to avoid the Company being named as a party or otherwise involved in the proceeding. Furthermore, this Agreement should be interpreted so as to prevent, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any bankruptcy trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession from asserting, requiring or seeking that (i) the Subscriber be allowed by the Company to return any part of the Shares to the Company for a refund, or (ii) the Company be mandated or ordered to redeem or withdraw any part of the Shares held or owned by the Subscriber.

7. Legends.  It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Shares may bear any legend required by the Articles of the Company or applicable state or federal securities laws in the U.S., in Canada, or in other laws and regulations of the U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdiction where the Subscriber is resident or domiciled.

The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees that the certificates representing the Shares will bear the following legend:

"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE LATER OF (I) [THE DISTRIBUTION DATE], AND (II) THE DATE THE COMPANY BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY IN CANADA."

The Subscriber further agrees to sign such documents as may be requested by the Lead Underwriter to effect the foregoing and agrees that the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Shares subject to the lock-up period until the end of such period.  The Company and the Subscriber acknowledge that each Lead Underwriter of such offering of the Company's securities, during the period of such offering and for the lock-up period thereafter, is an intended beneficiary of this Section 9.

ANNEX A

INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE

Dear Subscriber:

The information contained in this questionnaire is being furnished to Algernon Neuroscience Inc. (the "Company") in order that the Company may determine whether acquisition of the Company's securities (the "Securities") may be made by you, as an investor ("Subscriber"), in light of the requirements of Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). You understand that the information is needed for the Company to determine whether it has reasonable grounds to believe that you are an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act. If you are not an accredited investor, you may only purchase the Securities if the aggregate purchase price to be paid by you for the Securities (including the actual or maximum estimated conversion, exercise or exchange price for any underlying Securities that are qualified) is no more than ten percent (10%) of the greater of your: (1) annual income or net worth, if you are a natural person (with annual income and net worth determined as provided in Rule 501 (§ 230.501)); or (2) revenue or net assets for your most recently completed fiscal year end if you are a non-natural person.

You understand that (a) the Company will rely on the information contained herein for purposes of such determination, (b) the Securities may not be registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state, and (c) this questionnaire is not an offer to acquire the Securities or any other securities in any case where such offer would not be legally permitted.

The Company may offer the Securities through one or more broker-dealers who are registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Industry. In the event the Company engages a broker-dealer for the offering of the Securities, such broker-dealer may require additional information from Subscriber, and may require Subscriber to complete a separate questionnaire.   

Information contained in this questionnaire will be kept confidential by the Company and its agents, employees and representatives.  You understand, however, that the Company may have the need to present it to such parties as it deems advisable in order to establish the applicability under any federal or state securities laws of an exemption from registration.

In accordance with the foregoing, the following representations and information are hereby made and furnished by Subscriber.

Please answer all questions. If the answer is "none" or "not applicable," please so state.
