Date of Issuance: May 31, 2000 Certificate No. W-6
For value received, UNITED SHIPPING & TECHNOLOGY, INC., a Utah
corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to TH XXX.XXXXXX INTERNET
PARALLEL PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("THLI"), or its
transferees and assigns, the right to purchase from the Company 209,433
Warrant Shares (as defined herein) at a price per share equal to $9.00 (as
adjusted from time to time, the "Exercise Price"). This Warrant is one of
the "Additional Warrants" (collectively, the "Additional Warrants") issued
pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of May
15, 2000 between the Company and the purchasers named therein (as amended,
restated or modified from time to time, the "Purchase Agreement"). Certain
capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 4 hereof.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions:
SECTION 1. Exercise of Warrant.
1A. Exercise Period. The purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may only be exercised, in whole and not in part, at any time, and
from time to time until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on November 30, 2001 or,
if such day is not a business day, on the next preceding business day (the
"Exercise Period"); provided, that any delay described in Section 1B(ii)
which causes the issuance of the Warrant Shares to occur beyond the
Exercise Period shall in no event limit or affect the Registered Holder's
rights to receive such Warrant Shares at the termination of such delay.
Notwithstanding any contained in the foregoing to the contrary, the
Registered Holders' rights to receive the Warrant Shares shall terminate if
the Company fails to receive shareholder approval pursuant to Section
1B(ii) prior to November 30, 2001.
1B. Exercise Procedure.
(i) This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
when all of the following items have been delivered to the Company (the
"Exercise Time"):
(a) a completed Exercise Agreement, as described in
Section 1C below, executed by the Person exercising all or part of
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant (the "Purchaser");
(b) this Warrant;
(c) if the Purchaser is not the Registered Holder,
an Assignment or Assignments in the form set forth in Exhibit II
attached hereto evidencing the assignment of this Warrant to the
Purchaser; and
(d) a check or wire transfer payable to the Company
in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by
the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise (the
"Aggregate Exercise Price").
(ii) Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser
within five days after the date of the Exercise Time together with any cash
payable in lieu of a fraction of a share pursuant to the provisions of
Section 13 hereof; provided, that in the event that (i) the approval of the
Company's shareholders described in Section 5.07 of the Purchase Agreement
has not been obtained, or (ii) the applicable waiting period under the
Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, as described in
Section 7.02 of the Purchase Agreement has not expired, the Company shall
not issue such Warrant Shares until such approval has been obtained and
such waiting period has expired. Unless this Warrant has expired or all of
the purchase rights represented hereby have been exercised, the Company
shall prepare a new Warrant, substantially identical hereto, representing
the rights formerly represented by this Warrant which have not expired or
been exercised and shall, within such five-day period, deliver such new
Warrant to the Person designated for delivery in the Exercise Agreement.
(iii) The Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be deemed to have been issued to the Purchaser at the
Exercise Time, and the Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to have
become the Registered Holder of such Warrant Shares at the Exercise Time.
(iv) The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Registered
Holder or the Purchaser for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other
cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and the
related issuance of Warrant Shares.
(v) The Company shall not close its books against the
transfer of this Warrant or of any Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely
exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall from time to time take all such
action as may be necessary to assure that the par value per share of the
unissued Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant is at all
times equal to or less than the Exercise Price then in effect. In the event
that the Company fails to comply with its obligations set forth in the
foregoing sentence, the Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to)
purchase Warrant Shares hereunder at par value, and the Company shall be
obligated to reimburse the Purchaser for the aggregate amount of
consideration paid in connection with such exercise in excess of the
Exercise Price then in effect.
(vi) The Company shall assist and cooperate with the
Registered Holder or any Purchaser required to make any governmental
filings or obtain any governmental approvals prior to or in connection with
any exercise of this Warrant (including any filings described in Section
1B(ii) hereof.
(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an
exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a
public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of
stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Registered
Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which
case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately
prior to the consummation of such transaction.
(viii) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized but unissued Preferred Stock solely for the
purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Additional Warrants, the
maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the
Additional Warrants. All Warrant Shares which are so issuable shall, when
issued and upon the payment of the applicable Exercise Price, be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens
and charges except those created by actions of the holder hereof. The
Company shall take all such reasonable actions as may be necessary to
ensure that all such Warrant Shares may be so issued without violation by
the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any
requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of
Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed
(except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately
delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).
(ix) If the Warrant Shares issuable by reason of exercise
of this Warrant are convertible into or exchangeable for any other stock or
securities of the Company, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option and
upon surrender of this Warrant by such Purchaser as provided above together
with any notice, statement or payment required to effect such conversion or
exchange of Warrant Shares, deliver to such Purchaser (or as otherwise
specified by such Purchaser) a certificate or certificates representing the
stock or securities into which the Warrant Shares issuable by reason of
such conversion are convertible or exchangeable, registered in such name or
names and in such denomination or denominations as such Purchaser has
specified.
(x) The Company shall not, and shall not permit its
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, by any action (including, without
limitation, reincorporation in a jurisdiction other than Utah, amending its
Articles of Incorporation or through any Organic Change (as defined
in Section 2D), issuance or sale of securities or any other voluntary
action) avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
terms of this Warrant, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms of Warrant. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company shall (a) use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain all such authorizations, exemptions, or consents from any public
regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable
the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant, and (b) not
undertake any reverse stock split, combination, reorganization, or other
reclassification of its capital stock which would have the effect of making
this Warrant exercisable for less than one share of Preferred Stock.
1C. Exercise Agreement. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the
Purchaser shall deliver to the Company an Exercise Agreement in
substantially the form set forth as Exhibit I hereto, except that if the
Warrant Shares are not to be issued in the name of the Registered Holder,
the Exercise Agreement shall also state the name of the Person to whom the
certificates for the Warrant Shares are to be issued, and if the number of
Warrant Shares to be issued does not include all of the Warrant Shares
purchasable hereunder, it shall also state the name of the Person to whom a
new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the rights hereunder is to be
issued.
SECTION 2. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the
Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided
in this Section 2, and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as provided in this Section 2.
2A. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon
Issuance of Common Stock.
(i) If and whenever after the original date of issuance of
this Warrant the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 2B
is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for a
consideration per share less than the Market Price of the Common Stock
determined as of the date of such issue or sale, then immediately upon such
issue or sale the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the Exercise Price
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such issue or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum
of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately
prior to such issue or sale multiplied by the Market Price of the Common
Stock determined as of the date of such issuance of sale, plus (2) the
consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue or sale, and
the denominator of which shall be the product derived by multiplying the
Market Price of the Common Stock by the number of shares of Common Stock
Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.
(ii) Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder,
the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior
to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no
adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares obtainable
upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to (A) the issuance or granting
of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities to employees, officers,
consultants and directors of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries or the
exercise thereof pursuant to the Stock Option Plans, (B) the issuance or
granting of Options for up to 75,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted
for any stock splits, reverse stock splits, share combinations, stock
dividends, or similar reclassifications) to employees and consultants of
the Corporation outside of the Stock Option Plans, (C) the issuance of
Series B Preferred Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, (D) the issuance of
Common Stock upon (i) exercise of the Warrant To Purchase Shares of Common
Stock of United Shipping & Technology, Inc. or (ii) the conversion of the
9% Convertible Subordinated Promissory Note, in each case, dated as of
April 25, 2000, issued by the Company to J. Iver & Company, (E) the
issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant To Purchase Common
Stock of United Shipping & Technology, Inc., dated as of September 24,
1999, issued to Bayview Capital Partners L.P. (the "Bayview Warrant"), (F)
the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible
Subordinated Note, dated as of September 24, 1999, issued by the Company to
CEX Holdings, Inc. (the "CEX Convertible Note"), (G) the issuance of no
more than 100,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock splits,
reverse stock splits, share combinations, stock dividends or similar
reclassifications) to Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxx XX (or a trust solely for his
benefit) solely as payment in satisfaction of a court-approved settlement
of his claim against Corporate Express Delivery Systems, Inc., et al.,
pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Texas, Houston Division (Case No. H-98-1271), (H) the issuance of Common
Stock upon exercise of the Preferred Stock and the Common Warrants, and (I)
the issuance of Preferred Stock upon exercise of the Preferred Warrants.
2B. Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes
of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 2A, the following
shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any
manner grants or sells any Options and the price per share for which Common
Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such
Options, is less than the Market Price of the Common Stock determined as of
such time, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or exchange of the
total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the
exercise of such Options, shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have
been issued and sold by the Company at such time for such price per share.
For purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock
is issuable" is determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any,
received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or
sale of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options,
plus in the case of such Options which are exercisable into Convertible
Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if
any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible
Securities and the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Options or
upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable
upon the exercise of such Options. No further adjustment of the Exercise
Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of
such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the
actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the price per share
for which Common Stock is issuable upon conversion or exchange thereof is
less than the Market Price of the Common Stock determined as of such time,
then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price
per share. For the purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable" is determined by dividing (A) the total
amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue
or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount
of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall
be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of
such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which
adjustments of the Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant to
other provisions of this Section 2, no further adjustment of the Exercise
Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If the purchase
price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any,
payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Exercise
Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted immediately to
the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such
Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such
changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion
rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold and
the number of Warrant Shares shall be correspondingly adjusted. For
purposes of this Section 2B, if the terms of any Option or Convertible
Security which was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant
are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence,
then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed
issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to
have been issued as of the date of such change; provided, that (A) no such
change shall at any time cause the Exercise Price hereunder to be
increased, and (B) no adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this
clause (iii) shall be made as a result of any adjustment to the exercise
and/or conversion price with respect to the Bayview Warrant, CEX
Convertible Note or the Common Warrants pursuant to and in accordance with
the antidilution protection provisions of such securities as in effect on
May 31, 2000.
(iv) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible
Securities. Upon the expiration of any Option or the termination of any
right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities without the
exercise of such Option or right, the Exercise Price then in effect and the
number of Warrant Shares acquirable hereunder shall be adjusted immediately
to the Exercise Price and the number of shares which would have been in
effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or
Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior
to such expiration or termination, never been issued. For purposes of this
Section 2B, the expiration or termination of any Option or Convertible
Security which was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant
shall not cause the Exercise Price hereunder to be adjusted unless, and
only to the extent that, a change in the terms of such Option or
Convertible Security caused it to be deemed to have been issued after the
date of issuance of this Warrant.
(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor
shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. In
case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold
for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other
than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such
consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in
which case the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be the
Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. The fair value of any
consideration other than cash or securities shall be determined jointly by
the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach
agreement within a reasonable period of time, such fair value shall be
determined by an appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required
Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding on
the Company and the Registered Holders of the Warrants, and the fees and
expenses of such appraiser shall be paid by the Company.
(vi) Integrated Transactions. In case any Option (other than
the Common Warrants and the Preferred Warrants) is issued in connection
with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options shall be
deemed to have been issued without consideration.
(vii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or
for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the
disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or
sale of Common Stock.
(viii) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders
of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible
Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the
date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such
other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of
subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
2C. Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company
at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company
at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more
classes of its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into a smaller number
of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant
Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately
decreased.
2D. Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or
Sale. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets or other transaction, which in each case is effected in such a way
that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly
or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to
or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as "Organic Change."
Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company shall make
appropriate provision to insure that each of the Registered Holders of the
Warrants shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of
the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon
the exercise of such holder's Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or
assets as each such Registered Holder would have received in connection
with such Organic Change if such Registered Holder had exercised its
Warrants in full immediately prior to such Organic Change. In each such
case, the Company shall make appropriate provision with respect to such
holders' rights and interests to insure that the provisions of this Section
2 and Sections 3 and 4 hereof shall thereafter be applicable to the
Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or
sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if
other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or the
entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument, the obligation
to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be
entitled to acquire.
2E. Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type
contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided
for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of
stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity
features), then the Company's board of directors shall make an appropriate
adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the
holders of the Warrants; provided, that no such adjustment shall increase
the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares obtainable as
otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.
2F. Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, the
Company shall give written notice thereof to the Registered Holder, setting
forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such
adjustment.
(ii) The Company shall give written notice to the Registered
Holder at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its
books or takes a record (a) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer
to holders of Common Stock or (b) for determining rights to vote with
respect to any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation.
(iii) The Company shall also give written notice to the
Registered Holders at least 20 days prior to the date on which any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation shall take place.
Section 3. Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants,
issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase
stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record
holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the
Registered holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to acquire, upon the
terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights
which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of
Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (and
converted such Warrant Shares into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of
the Preferred Stock then in effect) immediately before the date on which a
record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights,
or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of
Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such
Purchase Rights.

par value $.004 per share, and any securities into which such common stock

averaged over a period of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days
immediately prior to the day as of which "Market Price" is being
determined. If at any time such security is not listed on any securities
exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter market, the
"Market Price" shall be the fair value thereof determined jointly by the
Corporation and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach
agreement within a reasonable period of time, such fair value shall be

jointly selected by the Corporation and the Required Holders. The

Warrant shall not entitle the Registered Holder hereof to any voting rights
or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. No provision hereof, in
the absence of affirmative action by the Registered Holder to purchase
Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of
the Registered Holder shall give rise to any liability of such Registered
Holder for the Exercise Price of Warrant Shares acquirable by exercise
hereof or as a stockholder of the Company.
SECTION 6. Transferability. Subject to compliance with the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable securities law,

part, without charge to the Registered Holder, upon surrender of this
Warrant with a properly executed Assignment (in the form of Exhibit II
hereto).
SECTION 7. Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations.
This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Registered
Holder at the principal office of the Company, for new Warrants of like

otherwise), this Warrant may be exchanged for one or more Warrants to

SECTION 8. Exchange. In the event that it becomes unlawful or,

(including a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding)
in the capital structure of the Company, to hold any or all of the Warrants
or Warrant Shares, the Registered Holder of this Warrant shall have the
right to require all or part of such Registered Holder's Warrants or
Warrant Shares to be exchanged for nonvoting stock or similar interests
that convey equivalent economic benefits to such Warrants or Warrant Shares
and include, in the case of Warrants, equivalent anti-dilution protection.
Any such exchange shall occur as soon as practicable but in any event
within sixty (60) days after written notice by the Registered Holder of
this Warrant to the Company (or such earlier date if required to comply
