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 8, 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 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 to be included in the Registration Statement.

10.2 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 Subscriber will be responsible for payment of any legal fees it incurs in connection with the Registration Statement.

10.3 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.

10.4 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.

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;

(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;

·	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,

(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.

The 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 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.

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.

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 Agreement;

14.

15.	other than as set out in the Subscription Agreement, 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 ).

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.

[SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, by authority duly given, has caused this Notice and Questionnaire to be executed and delivered either in person or by its duly authorized agent.
