is purchasing the Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view
towards distribution.  Subscriber acknowledges that it must bear the

exemption from such registration is available.

    


    (D)           Subscriber

acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the
Company’s public filings on EDGAR with his or its own legal counsel and
investment and tax advisors.  The Subscriber is relying solely on such
counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company
or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with
respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

    


    (J)           Subscriber
has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from,
the Company concerning the investment and to obtain any additional information
that Subscriber deemed necessary.

    


    (K)           Subscriber
understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on
specific provisions of United States federal and state securities laws and that
the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Subscriber set
forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such
provisions.

    


    (L)           Subscriber

ability to sell or transfer the Shares, and (ii) it may not be possible to
readily liquidate Subscriber’s investment in the Shares.

Shares and such entity has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring
Shares in this Offering.  If Subscriber is one of the aforementioned

    Accredited Investor
Questionnaire

    CardioGenics Holdings Inc. (“CardioGenics”)

     

     

    The purpose of this Questionnaire is to
determine whether you meet the standards for participation in a non-public
offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"),
and under the laws of the various States.

     

    We do not use your confidential
information for any purpose other than determining that you meet the definition
of Accredited Investor as required by State and Federal law; however, each
individual or entity that completes and submits this Questionnaire thereby
agrees that CardioGenics may present such responses to this Questionnaire to
such parties as CardioGenics deems appropriate for verification in order to
assure itself and future issuers that the subsequent offer and sale of
securities will not result in a violation of the provisions of State or Federal
securities laws.

     

    Please complete this form as thoroughly
as possible and submit it. If the answer to any question is "None" or "Not
Applicable", please so
state. Do not leave blanks.
