WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
OF
MDU COMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
W—
This is to Certify That, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, or assigns ("Holder"), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from MDU Communications International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Company"), fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"), at a purchase price equal to $.33 per share at any time or from time to time commencing on the date hereof until June 24, 2008. The number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant and the price to be paid for each share of Common Stock may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise, and as adjusted from time to time, are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Warrant Shares" and the exercise price of a share of Common Stock in effect at any time and as adjusted from time to time is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Exercise Price."
This Warrant was originally issued in connection with a private offering of securities by the Company, pursuant to the terms of a Confidential Offering Memorandum dated June 10, 2003, as supplemented (the "Memorandum").
(a) EXERCISE OF WARRANT; CANCELLATION OF WARRANT.
(1) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to time commencing on the date hereof and until June 24, 2008 (the "Exercise Period"), provided, however, that if either such day is a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day. This Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office, or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form. As soon as practicable after each such exercise of this Warrant, but not later than seven days from the date of such exercise, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable thereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office, or by the stock transfer agent of the Company at its office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that
certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be physically delivered to the Holder.
(2) In lieu of the payment method set forth in Section (a)(1) above, at any time during the Exercise Period, the Holder may, at its option, exchange this Warrant, in whole or in part (a "Warrant Exchange"), without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration into the number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with this Section (a)(2), by surrendering this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, accompanied by a notice stating such Holder's intent to effect such exchange, the number of Warrant Shares to be exchanged and the date on which the Holder requests that such Warrant Exchange occur (the "Notice of Exchange"). The Warrant Exchange shall take place on the date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if later, the date the Notice of Exchange is received by the Company (the "Exchange Date"). Certificates for the shares issuable upon such Warrant Exchange and, if applicable, a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the balance of the shares remaining subject to this Warrant, shall be issued as of the Exchange Date and delivered to the Holder within seven days following the Exchange Date. In connection with any Warrant Exchange, this Warrant shall represent the right to subscribe for and acquire the number of Warrant Shares (rounded to the next highest integer) equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares specified by the Holder in its Notice of Exchange (the "Total Number") less (ii) the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Total Number and the existing Exercise Price by (B) the current market value of a share of Common Stock. Current market value shall have the meaning set forth in Section (c) below, except that for purposes hereof, the date of exercise, as used in such Section (c), shall mean the Exchange Date.
(b) RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants.
(c) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or script representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current market value of a share, determined as follows:
(1) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market, the current market value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or market on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day, the average closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or market; or
(2) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, but is traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the current market value shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such market and if the Common Stock is not so traded, the current market value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or
(3) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current market value shall be an amount, not less than book value thereof as at the end of the most recent fiscal year of the Company ending prior to the date of the exercise of the Warrant, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company.
2
(d) EXCHANGE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the principal office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term "Warrant" as used herein includes any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant executed and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
(e) RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
(f) ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. The Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
(1) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(2) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price (the "Subscription Price") (or having a conversion price per share ("Conversion Price") less than the Exercise Price on such record date or less than the current market price of the Common Stock (as defined in Subsection (8) below) on the record date mentioned below, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date mentioned below and the number of additional shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at either the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of
3
- (i)
- by dividing (x) the sum of (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale multiplied by the then-existing Exercise Price, plus (B) the aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale, by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale; or
such issuance or such current market price per share of the Common Stock (as applicable), and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date and the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such rights or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; and to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered (or securities convertible into Common Stock are not delivered) after the expiration of such rights or warrants the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered.
(3) In case the Company shall hereafter distribute to the holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions and dividends or distributions referred to in Subsection (1) above) or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in Subsection (2) above), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the current market price per share of Common Stock (as defined in Subsection (7) below), less the fair market value (as determined by the Company's Board of Directors) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such current market price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed.
(4) In case the Company shall issue or sell shares of its Common Stock or other securities convertible, exchangeable, or exercisable into Common Stock [excluding shares issued (i) in any of the transactions described in Subsection (1) above, (ii) to any employee, but not in excess of 1 million shares in the aggregate, or upon exercise of (y) options granted to or (z) shares sold to, the Company's employees, consultants, officers and directors under a plan or plans adopted by the Company's Board of Directors and approved by its shareholders, if such shares would otherwise be included in this Subsection (4), (but only to the extent that the aggregate number of shares excluded hereby and issued after the date hereof, shall not exceed 5% of the Company's Common Stock outstanding at the time of any issuance), (iii) upon exercise of options and warrants outstanding on the date of the Memorandum, (iv) to shareholders of any corporation which merges into the Company in proportion to their stock holdings of such corporation immediately prior to such merger, upon such merger, or (v) issued in a bona fide public offering pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting, but only if no adjustment is required pursuant to any other specific subsection of this Section (f) (without regard to Subsection (9) below) with respect to the transaction giving rise to such rights)] for a consideration per share (the "Offering Price") less than the Exercise Price and/or less than ninety percent (90%) of the current market price per share (as defined in Subsection (8) below) on the date of such sale or issuance of such securities, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so that it shall be reduced to the lower of either of the following prices, determined as follows:
4
- (ii)
- by multiplying (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, multiplied by ninety percent (90%) of the current market price per share (as defined in Subsection (8) below) immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (B) the consideration received by the Company upon such issue or sale, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, multiplied by (2) ninety percent (90%) of the current market price per share immediately prior to such issue or sale.
(5) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Subsections (1), (2), (3) and (4) above, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares initially issuable upon exercise of this Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.
(6) For purposes of any computation respecting consideration received pursuant to Subsections (4) above, the following shall apply:
(A) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no case shall any deduction be made for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the Company for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;
(B) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof), whose determination shall be conclusive; and
(C) in the case of the issuance of securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, the aggregate consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Company for the issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in clauses (A) and (B) of this Subsection (6)).
(7) For the purpose of any computation under Subsections (2), (3) and (4) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be determined in the manner set forth in Section (c) hereof except that the current market price per share shall be deemed to be the average of the prices for thirty (30) consecutive business days before such date.
(8) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least five cents ($0.05) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection (8) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder. All calculations under this Section (f) shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section (f) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to make such changes in the Exercise Price, in addition to those required by this Section (f), as it shall determine, in its sole discretion, to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock, or any subdivision, reclassification or combination of Common Stock, hereafter made by the Company shall not result in any Federal Income tax liability to the holders of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock (including Warrants).
5
(9) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly but no later than 10 days after such adjustment, cause a notice setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number of shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, and, if requested, information describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments, to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses appearing in the Warrant Register, and shall cause a certified copy thereof to be mailed to its transfer agent, if any. In the event the Company does not provide the Holder with such notice and information within such ten (10) days, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Section (f), the Exercise Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the lowest Offering Price, Subscription Price or Conversion Price, as applicable, since the date of this Warrant, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company may retain a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) to make any computation required by this Section (f), and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
(10) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section (i) below, the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company, other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Subsections (1) to (8), inclusive above.
(11) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the similar Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.
(g) OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as required by the provisions of the foregoing Section, the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office and with its stock transfer agent, if any, an officer's certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price and Warrant Shares determined as herein provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, including a statement of the number of additional shares of Common Stock, if any, and such other facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder or any holder of a Warrant executed and delivered pursuant to Section (a) and the Company shall, forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy by certified mail of such certificate to the Holder or any such holder.
(h) NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding, (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution upon the Common Stock or (ii) if the Company shall offer to the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any share of any class or any other rights or (iii) if any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected, then in any such case, the Company shall cause to be mailed by certified mail to the Holder, at least fifteen days prior the date specified in (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (x) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock or other securities shall receive cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
6
(i) RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION OR MERGER. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety, the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter by exercising this Warrant at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which might have been purchased upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section (i) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. In the event that in connection with any such capital reorganization or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, in whole or in part, for a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Common Stock covered by the provisions of Subsection (1) of Section (f) hereof.
(j) REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. The Holder shall have registration rights with respect to the Warrant Shares as more particularly set forth in the subscription agreement executed in connection with the Private Placement.
