    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUBSCRIPTION FOR SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS 

    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 Subscription Receipts as is set forth on page 2 of this Agreement at a price of $0.45 per Subscription Receipt for the Subscription Amount shown on page 2 of this Agreement, which is tendered herewith (such subscription and agreement to purchase being the "Subscription"), and the Issuer agrees to sell the Subscription Receipts to the Subscriber, effective upon the Issuer's acceptance of this Agreement.

    1.2 In the event of the occurrence of the Escrow Release Condition (as defined herein), each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert into one Unit for no additional consideration. Each Unit will consist of one Share and one Warrant.  The Warrants will be transferable.  Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Warrant Share, as presently constituted, for a period of three (3) years commencing from the Closing Date at an exercise price of $0.55 per Warrant Share until the date of expiration of the Warrant.  The Subscription Receipts, the Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are referred to herein as the "Securities". Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that the Shares have a closing price on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") (or such other exchange on which the Shares may be traded at such time) of $1.75 or greater per Share for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days at any time from the Closing Date, the Issuer may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof (by disseminating a news release advising of the acceleration of the expiry date of the Warrants) and, in such case, the Warrants will expire on the thirtieth day after the date of such notice (the "Acceleration Provision").

    1.3 The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscription Receipts have been offered to the Subscriber as part of an offering by the Issuer of additional Subscription Receipts to other subscribers (the "Offering").

    1.4 All dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are in lawful money of the United States of America, unless otherwise indicated.

    1.5 The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the Subscription Amount and any other documents delivered in connection herewith will be held by Clark Wilson LLP (the "Escrow Agent"), legal counsel to the Issuer, 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 Issuer will cause the Escrow Agent to return the Subscription Amount (without interest thereon) to the Subscriber at the address of the Subscriber as set forth on page 2 of this Agreement.

    2. Payment and Escrow Provisions

    2.1 On or before the closing of the Offering (the "Closing"), the Subscriber will deliver to the Escrow Agent payment for the Subscription Amount (the "Escrowed Funds"), as follows:

    (a) if the Subscriber is drawing funds from a Canadian bank to pay for this Subscription, wire transfer to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the wiring instructions set out in Exhibit F that is on page 41 of this Agreement; or

    
        Page 4

    

    

    (b) if the Subscriber is drawing funds from any source other than a Canadian chartered bank to pay for this Subscription, by wire transfer to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the wiring instructions set out in Exhibit F that is on page 41 of this Agreement,

    which Escrowed Funds will be held in escrow, on behalf of the Issuer, by the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement to be entered into between the Issuer and the Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Agreement") at or prior to the Closing. 

    2.2 The Escrowed Funds will be held by the Escrow Agent until the receipt by the Issuer of an ordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Issuer approving the Offering and the issuance of the Securities thereunder (the "Escrow Release Condition").

    2.3 In the event that the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on July 15, 2020 (the "Escrow Deadline"), the Issuer will deliver a notice to the Escrow Agent confirming the Escrow Release Condition has been satisfied (the "Release Notice"). Upon receipt of the Release Notice: (a) the Escrow Agent will, as soon as practicable thereafter, release the Escrowed Funds to the Issuer, and (b) each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert, without any further action on the part of the Subscriber, into one Unit, without payment of any additional consideration by the Subscriber.

    2.4 If the Escrow Release Condition is not satisfied by the Escrow Deadline, or if the Issuer delivers written notice to the Escrow Agent that the Escrow Release Condition will not be satisfied before the Escrow Deadline (the "Default Notice"), the Subscription Receipts will expire and be of no further force and effect, effective as of the earlier of: (a) the Escrow Deadline and (b) the date of the receipt of the Default Notice by the Escrow Agent, and the Subscriber will be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent a refund of the Escrowed Funds, without interest thereon and less applicable expenses required to return the Escrowed Funds, to be refunded in the same format and, if applicable, to the same account, as the Escrowed Funds were initially delivered by, or from, the Subscriber to the Escrow Agent, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Subscriber and the Escrow Agent.

    2.5 For greater certainty, the Subscription Receipts will be issued at the Closing by the Issuer and the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it will be acquiring Subscription Receipts, and not Units, pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that, if the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied by the Escrow Deadline, the Subscription Receipts will convert automatically, with no further action on the part of the Subscriber, into Units. In the event that the Issuer fails to satisfy the Escrow Release Condition by the Escrow Deadline, or the Issuer delivers the Default Notice to the Escrow Agent, the Escrowed Funds will be refunded to the Subscriber, in accordance with the terms of the certificate representing the Subscription Receipts (the "Certificate"), which will be substantially in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit H.

    2.6 Prior to the time that the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied and the Release Notice is provided, the Subscriber will not be a shareholder of the Issuer with respect to the Subscription Receipts (or the Shares that form part of the Units issuable on the conversion thereof) and will not be entitled to vote on or in respect of any event which forms part of the Escrow Release Condition. The Subscriber will only be entitled to receive the Units if the Release Notice is provided to the Escrow Agent by the Issuer prior to the Escrow Deadline. If the Release Notice is not provided to the Escrow Agent prior to the Escrow Deadline, the Subscriber will only be entitled to a return of the Escrowed Funds (without interest thereon) and will not be entitled to acquire any Units.

    2.7 The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the Subscription Amount and any other documents or monies 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 Issuer will return the Subscription Amount (without interest thereon and less any wire charges) and any other documents delivered in connection herewith to the Subscriber at the address of the Subscriber as set forth on page 2 of this Agreement, or as otherwise directed by the Subscriber.

    (g) such other supporting documentation that the Issuer or the Escrow Agent may request to establish the Subscriber's qualification as a qualified investor,

    and the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer will not consider the Subscription for acceptance unless the Subscriber has provided all of such documents to the Issuer.

    3.2 As soon as practicable upon any request by the Issuer, the Subscriber will complete, sign and return to the Issuer any additional documents, questionnaires, notices and undertakings as may be required by any regulatory authorities or applicable laws.

    3.3 The Issuer and the Subscriber acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent has acted as counsel only to the Issuer and is not protecting the rights and interests of the Subscriber.  The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer and the Escrow Agent have given the Subscriber the opportunity to seek, and are hereby recommending that the Subscriber obtain, independent legal advice with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and, further, the Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Escrow Agent that the Subscriber has sought independent legal advice or waives such advice.

    7. Registration Rights

    7.1 The Issuer will prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-1 (or any other applicable form available to the Issuer at the time of such filing) with respect to the Shares and the Warrant Shares (the "Registration Statement") with the SEC within 30 days following the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Condition and will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible after filing.  The Registration Statement shall state, to the extent permitted by Rule 416 under the 1933 Act, that it also covers such indeterminate number of additional Shares in order to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar events. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 7, if the Issuer receives a comment from the staff of the SEC that effectively results in the Issuer having to reduce the number of Shares and Warrant Shares included in such Registration Statement, then the Issuer, after having first used commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the staff of the SEC to withdraw such comment, may in its sole discretion reduce on a pro rata basis (among all subscribers in the Offering) the number of Shares and Warrant Shares to be included in the Registration Statement.

    7.2 In connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will furnish to the Issuer, in writing, such information and representations with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as are reasonably necessary in order to assure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The Issuer will require the Subscriber to furnish to the Issuer, among other things as may be determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion, a certified statement as to the number of securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Subscriber and the name of the natural person that has voting and dispositive control over the Shares and the Warrant Shares. The Subscriber will be responsible for payment of any legal fees it incurs in connection with the Registration Statement.

    7.3 The Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (a) the Subscriber's failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act; (b) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent that: (i) such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by the Subscriber to the Issuer specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, (ii) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by the Subscriber expressly for use therein, or (iii) such information relates to the Subscriber or the Subscriber's proposed method of distribution of the Shares and the Warrant Shares and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by the Subscriber expressly for use in the Registration Statement or in any amendment or supplement thereto; or (c) the use by the Subscriber of an outdated or defective Registration Statement after the Issuer has notified the Subscriber in writing that the Registration Statement is outdated or defective.

    7.4 If a claim for indemnification hereunder is unavailable to the Issuer (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then the Subscriber, in lieu of indemnifying the Issuer, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Issuer as a result of such losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Subscriber and the Issuer in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Subscriber and the Issuer shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Subscriber or the Issuer, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this section was available to such party in accordance with its terms. 

    8. Representations and Warranties will be Relied Upon by the Issuer

    8.1 The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the representations and warranties contained herein are made by it with the intention that such representations and warranties may be relied upon by the Issuer and the Escrow Agent in determining the Subscriber's eligibility to purchase the Securities under applicable laws, or, if applicable, the eligibility of others on whose behalf the Subscriber is contracting hereunder to purchase the Securities under applicable laws. The Subscriber further agrees that, by accepting delivery of the certificates representing the Subscription Receipts, it will be representing and warranting that the representations and warranties contained herein are true and correct as at the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if they had been made by the Subscriber on the Closing Date and that they will survive the purchase by the Subscriber of the Securities and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any subsequent disposition by the Subscriber of such Securities.

    9. Acknowledgement and Waiver

    9.1 The Subscriber has acknowledged that the decision to acquire the Securities was solely made on the basis of the Public Record.

    Guidance On Accredited Investor Exemptions for Individuals

    An individual accredited investor is an individual:

    (a) who, either alone or with a spouse, 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 $1,000,000;

    
        Page 24

    

    

    (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; and

    (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 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;


    
        Page 25

    

    

    	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

    (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.

    Guidance on Close Personal Friend and Close Business Associate Determination

    A "close personal friend" of a director, executive officer, founder or control person of an issuer is an individual who knows the director, executive officer, founder or control person well enough and has known them for a sufficient period of time to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and to obtain information from them with respect to the investment.

    The following factors are relevant to this determination:

    (a)  the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person,

    (b)  the nature of the relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person including such matters as the frequency of contacts between them and the level of trust and reliance in the other circumstances, and

    (c)  the number of "close personal friends" of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance on the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption.

    An individual is not a close personal friend solely because the individual is:

    (a)  a relative,

    (b)  a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group,

    (c)  a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace,

    (d)  a client, customer, former client or former customer,

    (e)  a mere acquaintance, or

    (f)  connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.

    The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemption is not available to a close personal friend of a close personal friend of a director of the issuer. Further, a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an internet forum is not considered to be that of a close personal friend.

    A "close business associate" is an individual who has had sufficient prior business dealings with a director, executive officer, founder or control person of the issuer to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and to obtain information from them with respect to the investment.

    The following factors are relevant to this determination:

    (a)  the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person,

    
        Page 27

    

    

    (b)  the nature of any specific business relationships between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, including, for each relationship, when it began, the frequency of contact between them and when it terminated if it is not ongoing, and the level of trust and reliance in the other circumstances,

    (c)  the nature and number of any business dealings between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, the length of the period during which they occurred, and the nature and date of the most recent business dealing, and

    (d)  the number of "close business associates" of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance on the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption.

    An individual is not a close business associate solely because the individual is:

    (a)  a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group,

    (b)  a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace,

    (c)  a client, customer, former client or former customer,

    (d)  a mere acquaintance, or

    (e)  connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.

    The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemptions are not available for a close business associate of a close business associate of a director of the issuer. Further, a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an internet forum is not considered to be that of a close business associate.

    EXHIBIT C

    UNITED STATES ACCREDITED INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE

    TO: THE ALKALINE WATER COMPANY INC. (the "Issuer")

    RE: Purchase of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") of the Issuer
    

    Capitalized terms used in this U.S. Questionnaire (this "Questionnaire") and not specifically defined have the meaning ascribed to them in the Private Placement Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") between the undersigned, or if the undersigned is purchasing the Subscription Receipts as agent on behalf of a disclosed beneficial subscriber, such beneficial subscriber, as applicable (in either case, the "Subscriber") and the Issuer to which this Exhibit C is attached.

    This Questionnaire applies only to persons that are U.S. Purchasers.  A "U.S. Purchaser" is: (a) any U.S. Person, (b) any person purchasing the Subscription Receipts on behalf of any U.S. Person, (c) any person that receives or received an offer of the Subscription Receipts while in the United States, or (d) any person that is in the United States at the time the Subscriber's buy order was made or the Subscription Agreement was executed or delivered.

    The Subscriber understands and agrees that none of the Securities have been or will be registered under the 1933 Act, or applicable state, provincial or foreign securities laws, and the Subscription Receipts are being offered and sold to the Subscriber in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act for non-public offerings. The Subscription Receipts or Securities are being offered and sold within the United States only to "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.  The Securities offered hereby are not transferable except in accordance with the restrictions described herein. 

    The Subscriber represents, warrants, and certifies to, and covenants and agrees with, the Issuer (which representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and certifications will survive the Closing), and acknowledges that the Issuer is relying thereon, that:

    1. it is not resident in Canada;

    2. it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and it is able to bear the economic risk of loss of its entire investment;

    3. the Issuer has provided to it the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering and it has had access to such information concerning the Issuer as it has considered necessary or appropriate in connection with its investment decision to acquire the Securities;

    4. it is acquiring the Securities for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of the Securities in violation of the United States securities laws;

    5. it (a) has adequate net worth and means of providing for its current financial needs and possible personal contingencies, (b) has no need for liquidity in an investment in the Securities, and (c) is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time;

    
        Page 32

    

    

    6. if the Subscriber is an individual (that is, a natural person and not a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity), then it satisfies one or more of the categories indicated below (please place an "X" on the appropriate lines):

                a natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person's spouse, exceeds US$1,000,000. For purposes of this category, "net worth" means the excess of total assets at fair market value (including personal and real property, but excluding the estimated fair market value of a person's primary home) over total liabilities. Total liabilities excludes any mortgage on the primary home in an amount of up to the home's estimated fair market value as long as the mortgage was incurred more than 60 days before the Subscription Receipts are purchased, but includes (a) any mortgage amount in excess of the home's fair market value and (b) any mortgage amount that was borrowed during the 60 day period before the Closing Date for the purpose of investing in the Subscription Receipts,

            
	 	 
	
                ___________

            	
                a natural person who had an individual income in excess of US$200,000 in each of the two most recent years, or joint income with their spouse in excess of US$300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year, or

            
	 	 
	
                ___________

            	
                a director or executive officer of the Issuer;

            


    7. if the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity), then it satisfies one or more of the categories indicated below (please place an "X" on the appropriate lines):

    8. it has not purchased the Subscription Receipts as a result of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over radio, internet, television or other form of telecommunications, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation or general advertising;

    9. if the Subscriber decides to offer, sell or otherwise transfer any of the Securities, it will not offer, sell or otherwise transfer any of such Securities, directly or indirectly, unless:

    10. it understands and acknowledges that, upon the issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or applicable U.S. state laws and regulations, the certificates representing the Securities, and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, will bear a legend (in addition to the legends required by Canadian securities laws and the TSX Venture Exchange) in substantially the following form:

    "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "U.S. SECURITIES ACT").  THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ALKALINE WATER COMPANY INC. (THE "ISSUER") THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE ISSUER; (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR (C) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS; OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, IN THE CASE OF PARAGRAPH (C) OR (D), THE SELLER FURNISHES TO THE ISSUER AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO SUCH EFFECT.  DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE GOOD DELIVERY IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN CANADA."

    Delivery of certificates bearing such a legend may not constitute "good delivery" in settlement of transactions on Canadian stock exchanges or over-the-counter markets. If the Issuer is a "foreign issuer" with no "substantial U.S. market interest" (all within the meaning of Regulation S under the 1933 Act) at the time of sale, a new certificate, which will constitute "good delivery", will be made available to the purchaser upon provision to the Issuer by the Subscriber of a declaration, together with such other evidence of the availability of an exemption, as the Issuer or its transfer agent may reasonably require.

    Certificates representing the Warrants, and all certificates issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, will bear the following legend in substantially the following form:

    "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY, AND THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE EXERCISABLE, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "U.S. SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES.  THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE EXERCISED BY OR ON BEHALF OF A "U.S. PERSON" OR A PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES UNLESS THE WARRANT AND THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LEGISLATION OF ANY SUCH STATE OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS IS AVAILABLE. "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" ARE AS DEFINED BY REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.";

    
        Page 34

    

    

    11. it understands and agrees that there may be material tax consequences to the Subscriber of an acquisition or disposition of the Securities. The Issuer gives no opinion and makes no representation with respect to the tax consequences to the Subscriber under United States, state, local or foreign tax law of the Subscriber's acquisition or disposition of the Securities. In particular, no determination has been made whether the Issuer will be a "passive Foreign investment company" within the meaning of Section 1291 of the United States Internal Revenue Code;

    12. it understands and agrees that the financial statements of the Issuer have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, which differ from United States generally accepted accounting principles, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies;

    13. it consents to the Issuer making a notation on its records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Issuer in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described in this Questionnaire and the Subscription Agreement;

    14. it is resident in the United States of America, its territories and possessions or any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (collectively the "United States"), is a "U.S. Person" as such term is defined in Regulation S or was in the United States at the time the Securities were offered or the Subscription Agreement was executed;

    15. it understands that the Issuer has no obligation to register any of the Securities or to take action so as to permit sales pursuant to the 1933 Act (including Rule 144 thereunder); and

    16. it understands and acknowledges that the Issuer is not obligated to remain a "foreign issuer".

    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 Subscription Receipts.

    10. Reliance on Responses. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its legal counsel shall be entitled to rely on its responses in this Questionnaire in all matters pertaining to the Registration Statement and the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

    The undersigned hereby acknowledges and is advised of the SEC's Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 239.10 regarding short selling:

    "An Issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective.  One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock "against the box" and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement become effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made.  There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date."

    By returning this Questionnaire, the undersigned will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation.

    If the Company is required to file a new or additional registration statement to register Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the selling securityholder, the undersigned hereby agrees to complete and return to the Company, upon the request of the Company, a new Questionnaire (in a form substantially similar to this Questionnaire).

    If the selling securityholder transfers all or any portion of its Registrable Securities after the date on which the information in this Questionnaire is provided to the Company, the undersigned hereby agrees to notify the transferee(s) at the time of transfer of its rights and obligations hereunder.

    By signing below, the undersigned represents that the information provided herein is accurate and complete.  The undersigned agrees to promptly notify the Company of any inaccuracies or changes in the information provided herein that may occur subsequent to the date hereof at any time while the Registration Statement remains effective.

    By signing below, the undersigned consents to the disclosure of the information contained herein and the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto.  The undersigned understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company in connection with the preparation or amendment of the Registration Statement and the related prospectus.

            block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

        
	
            purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

        
	
            an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

        
	
            privately negotiated transactions;

        
	
            in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

        
	
            through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

            any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

        


    The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

    Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121 and Supplementary Material .01 and Supplementary Material .02 thereto in the case of an agency transaction.

    The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. To our knowledge, each selling stockholder does not have any written or oral agreement, arrangement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares of our common stock.

    Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. To our knowledge, there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders.

    Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of our common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states, the shares of our common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

    Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of our common stock may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person.
