| 4.1 | $8.29; and |
|
|
|
| 4.2 | the price per Common Share, or the exercise price per Common Share issuable on exercise of securities convertible into Common Shares (collectively “Equity Securities”) issued pursuant to the most recently completed bona fide equity financing of Equity Securities by the Corporation that resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation of at least $5,000,000, prior to the Exercise Time. |
5. | Payment of Exercise Price: |
| 5.1 | The Holder may satisfy the aggregate Exercise Price payable in connection with any exercise of Warrants (each a “Warrant Exercise”), in its sole discretion, through any combination of: |
| 5.1.1 | cash; and |
|
|
|
| 5.1.2 | common shares in the capital of the Holder (the “Mogo Shares”), at a deemed issue price per Mogo Share equal to the greater of: (a) the volume weighted average price of the Mogo Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) during the 30-day period ended on the last trading day prior to the date of the Subscription Form (as defined herein) (the “30-day VWAP”); and (b) the minimum issue price permitted by the TSX; |
|
|
|
| provided that no less than 50% of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrants exercised pursuant to a Warrant Exercise shall be paid in cash. |
Warrant Certificate | Page 3 of 10 |
| 5.2 | If the Holder elects to deliver Mogo Shares in satisfaction of any portion of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Common Shares issuable upon a Warrant Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to represent and warrant to the Corporation on the date of issuance of the Mogo Shares with respect to such Warrant Exercise, that: |
| 5.2.1 | all necessary corporate action has been taken by the Holder to authorize the execution and delivery of and performance by the Holder of the Subscription Form and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Form and this Warrant, and to authorize for issuance such Mogo Shares; |
|
|
|
| 5.2.2 | the execution and delivery of the Subscription Form and delivery of the Mogo Shares to the Corporation: (a) do not and will not (or would not with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or the happening of any other event or condition) constitute or result in a violation or breach of, or conflict with, or allow any other person to exercise any rights under, any of the terms or provisions of its constating documents; (b) do not and will not (or would not with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or the happening or any other event or condition) constitute or result in a breach or violation of, or conflict with or allow any other person to exercise any rights under, any of the terms or provisions of any contracts or instruments to which it is a party; and (c) do not and will not result in the violation of any laws, statutes, regulations, or standards, policies, guidelines, notices and protocols of any governmental entity (including any stock exchange, or quasi-governmental or private body exercising any regulatory, expropriation or taxing authority); |
|
|
|
| 5.2.3 | such Mogo Shares have been validly issued and are outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Holder; |
|
|
|
| 5.2.4 | the Holder is a reporting issuer not in default under the securities laws of each Province and Territory of Canada, and is in compliance in all material respects with its disclosure obligations under applicable securities laws; and |
|
|
|
| 5.2.5 | the Mogo Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX, and the Holder has applied to list the Mogo Shares deliverable to the Corporation upon exercise of the Warrant on the TSX and any other stock exchange upon which the Mogo Shares are listed or posted for trading. |
6. | Exercise Procedure: |
| 6.1 | Deliveries: Subject to Section 6.3 and Section 11.2, the Holder may exercise the Warrants before the Expiry Time, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Corporation during regular business hours at its principal office (or at any other address in Canada as the Corporation may notify the Holder in writing): |

|
|

Warrant Certificate | Page 4 of 10 |
| 6.1.3 | if applicable, a certificate or DRS advice representing Mogo Shares issued in satisfaction of any portion of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Common Shares being purchased, delivered no later than three (3) Business Days after the delivery of the Subscription Form (failing which the Holder may not exercise this Warrant unless it delivers to the Corporation a new Subscription Form). |
|
|
|
| The deliveries made by the Holder under this Section 6.1 will be deemed to be made only upon actual receipt by the Corporation. |
| 6.2 | Issuance: The Common Shares subscribed for under the Subscription Form will be issued in the name of the Holder (or as otherwise directed by the Holder) as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Corporation effective as of a date that is no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of receipt by the Corporation of the deliveries made by the Holder under Section 6.1 (the “Issuance Date”). The Corporation will cause a certificate for the Common Shares to be issued under this Section 6.2 to be mailed to the Holder (or otherwise mailed or delivered as directed by the Holder in the Subscription Form) within three (3) Business Days of the Issuance Date. |
|
|
|
| 6.3 | Compliance with Laws: Any exercise of Warrants will be subject to compliance, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, and with all applicable laws and any applicable stock exchange requirements. |
7. | Legends: |
| 7.1 | Legends: Subject to Section 7.2, any certificate representing the Common Shares issued on exercise of the Warrants, and any certificate issued in exchange for or in substitution of this Warrant Certificate, 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) [insert the distribution date], and (ii) the date the issuer became a reporting issuer in any province or territory.” | |
|
|
|
| and any other legend required by the unanimous shareholder agreement of the Corporation. | |
|
|
|
| 7.2 | Removal of Legends: If, at any time, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, the legend specified in Section 7.1 is no longer necessary or advisable, or the holder of a legended certificate provides the Corporation with evidence satisfactory in form and substance to the Corporation (which may include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation) to the effect that the legend is not required, a legended certificate may be surrendered to the Corporation in exchange for a certificate which does not bear the legend specified in Section 7.1. |
8. | Partial Exercise: The Holder may exercise a number of Warrants less than the total number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate. If there is a partial exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Holder will be entitled to receive, without charge, a new warrant certificate evidencing the balance of the Warrants which have not yet been exercised. |
|
|
9. | No Fractional Shares: Despite any adjustment provided for in Section 13, no fractional Common Shares will be issued on any exercise of Warrants, and the number of Common Shares issuable on the exercise of Warrants will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The Holder will not be entitled to any cash or other consideration in lieu of any fraction of a Common Share. |
Warrant Certificate | Page 5 of 10 |
10. | Transfer of Warrants: The Warrants are not transferable by the Holder. |
|
|
11. | U.S. Laws: |
| 11.1 | No Registration: The Warrants and the Common Shares issuable on the exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “United States Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and the Corporation has no obligation or present intention of filing a registration statement under the United States Securities Act in respect of any of the Warrants or the Common Shares issuable on the exercise of the Warrants. |
|
|
|
| 11.2 | Restrictions on Exercise: The Warrants may only be exercised by a Holder who, at the time of exercise, either: |
| 11.2.1 | provides written certification that (i) the Holder is outside the United States and (ii) the Holder is not a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act, a “U.S. Person”), and the Holder is not exercising any of the Warrants on behalf of, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person; or |
|
|
|
| 11.2.2 | provides a written opinion of U.S. counsel, in a form acceptable to the Corporation acting reasonably, that the Common Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants are exempt from registration requirements under the United States Securities Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States. |
12. | Not a Shareholder: The holding of a Warrant will not constitute the Holder a shareholder of the Corporation or entitle the Holder to any right or interest as a shareholder of the Corporation, except as expressly provided in this Warrant Certificate. |
|
|
13. | Adjustments: The Exercise Price (and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise) shall be subject to adjustment from time to time during the period starting on the date of this Warrant Certificate and ending at the Expiry Time (the “Adjustment Period”) in the events and in the manner provided as follows: |
| 13.1 | Special Distribution: If, during the Adjustment Period, the Corporation fixes a record date for the distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the Common Shares of: |
| 13.1.1 | shares of any class, whether of the Corporation or any other corporation; |
|
|
|
| 13.1.2 | rights, options or warrants; |
|
|
|
| 13.1.3 | evidences of indebtedness; or |
|
|
|
| 13.1.4 | other assets or property, |
|
|
|
| (a “Special Distribution”), then the Holder will, after the effective date of the Special Distribution and upon exercise of the Warrants, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was entitled upon exercise of the Warrants before the Special Distribution, the kind and amount of securities or other assets or property (including cash) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Special Distribution if, on the effective date of the Special Distribution, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares into which the Warrants were exercisable immediately before the Special Distribution. |
Warrant Certificate | Page 6 of 10 |
| 13.2 | Capital Reorganization: If and whenever during the Adjustment Period |
| 13.2.1 | the Common Shares are reclassified or changed into other shares or there is any other reorganization involving the Common Shares; |
|
|
|
| 13.2.2 | the Corporation is a party to any consolidation, amalgamation, merger or arrangement with any other person; or |
|
|
|
| 13.2.3 | all or substantially all of the undertakings or assets of the Corporation are transferred to another person; |
|
|
|
| (each event, a “Capital Reorganization”), then the Holder will, after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization and upon exercise of the Warrants, be entitled to receive, and will accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was entitled upon exercise of the Warrants before the Capital Reorganization, the kind and amount of securities or other assets or property (including cash) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date of the Capital Reorganization, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares into which the Warrants were exercisable immediately before the Capital Reorganization. |
| 13.3 | Other Adjustments. If, during the Adjustment Period, the Corporation takes any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action or event requiring an adjustment under Sections 13.1 or 13.2, which the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) determines would have a material effect on the rights of the Holder under this Warrant Certificate, then the terms of the Warrants will be adjusted in any manner and at any time as the Board (in its sole discretion, acting reasonably) determines is equitable in the circumstances. If the Board fails to provide for an adjustment under this Section 13.3 before the effective date of the action affecting the Common Shares, that failure will be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the Board has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances. |
|
|
|
| 13.4 | Rules: |
| 13.4.1 | The adjustments provided for in Section 13 are cumulative, and shall, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price be computed to the nearest one tenth of one cent and shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur, subject to the following paragraphs of this Section 13. |
|
|
|
| 13.4.2 | For greater certainty, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made pursuant to Section 13 in respect of the issue of Common Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate, or securities of the Corporation pursuant to any share option, share option plan, share purchase plan or other benefit plan for the benefit of directors, officers, employees, advisers or consultants of the Corporation from time to time (including, for greater certainty, upon exercise of any securities issued or granted under such plans), and any such issue shall be deemed not to be a Capital Reorganization. |
|
|
|
| 13.4.3 | If the Corporation fixes a record date which (if it were not for this Section 13.4.3) would trigger an adjustment under this Section 13, and the event in respect of which that record date is set is abandoned (or that record date is changed), then no adjustment under this Section 13 will be required by reason of the setting of that (original) record date. If a calculation is made under this Section 13 based on the assumed conversion or exchange of securities convertible into Common Shares or on the assumed exercise of rights, options or warrants, and any portion of the securities convertible into Common Shares are not actually converted or exchanged or any portion of the rights, options or warrants are not actually exercised within the time permitted, the calculation will be adjusted once the number of Common Shares actually issued on the conversion or exchange of the securities convertible into Common Shares and on the exercise of the rights, options and warrants is known. |
Warrant Certificate | Page 7 of 10 |
| 13.4.4 | If the Corporation does not fix a record date for a Special Distribution by way of a resolution of the directors, the Corporation will be deemed to have fixed a record date on the record date determined under corporate law. |
|
|
|
| 13.4.5 | No adjustments under this Section 13 will be made to the extent that the Holder is entitled to participate in the relevant event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Holder had exercised the Warrants before the relevant date. |
|
|
|
| 13.4.6 | If any dispute arises with respect to the calculation of an adjustment under this Section 13, the dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Corporation or, if they are unable or unwilling to act, by another firm of independent chartered accountants selected by the Board. The Corporation will provide to the auditors or accountants access to all necessary records of the Corporation to make a determination under this Section 13.4.6 and that determination will be binding on the Corporation and the Holder. |
| 13.5 | Condition Precedent: As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment under this Section 13, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, be necessary to ensure that the Corporation may validly and legally issue the securities, or may validly and legally distribute the property, of the Corporation which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise of the Warrants. |
|
|
|
| 13.6 | Notice: At least ten (10) Business Days before the effective date or record date, as applicable, of any event which requires or may require an adjustment to be made under this Section 13, the Corporation will give notice to the Holder of the relevant particulars of that event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the calculation of that adjustment. If the final adjustment is not determinable at the time that the initial notice is given under this Section 13.6, then the Corporation will give notice to the Holder of the required adjustment and the calculation of that adjustment as soon as the final adjustment is determinable. |
|
|
|
| 13.7 | Interpretation: As of the original date of this Warrant Certificate, “Common Share” means a common share in the capital of the Corporation as constituted on the original date of this Warrant Certificate. If the common shares are subsequently reorganized, reclassified, substituted or otherwise changed, the term “Common Share” will then be interpreted to reflect that change. |
Warrant Certificate | Page 8 of 10 |

|
|
|
| 15.3 | the Common Shares to be issued in connection with any Warrant Exercise will be, on the applicable Issuance Date, validly issued and outstanding as fully paid and non- assessable Common Shares in the capital of the Corporation; and |

|
|
|
| (b) | the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Person for all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim prior to the date the Indemnifying Party validly exercised its right to assume the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim; |
