or its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from Nettaxi, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), at any time or from time to time during the period
specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, One Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000) fully paid
and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise price of $12.375 per share (the
"Exercise Price"). The term "Warrant Shares," as used herein, refers to the
shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares and the
Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 4 hereof. The
term Warrants means this Warrant and the other warrants issued pursuant to that
certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 31, 1999, by and among the
Company and the Buyers listed on the execution page thereof (the "Securities
Purchase Agreement").
This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and conditions:
1. MANNER OF EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a
completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the "Exercise
Agreement"), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at
the Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and upon (i)
payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire
transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant
Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the resale of the Warrant
Shares by the holder is not then registered pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election to
effect a "Cashless Exercise" (as' defined in Section 11 (c) below) for the
Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement-. The Warrant Shares so
purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder's
designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the
date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Exercise
Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment shall have been made for such
shares as set forth above. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased,
representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement,
shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding
three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by
the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such
other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have
been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company
shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to
the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which
this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no event shall
the Holder of this Warrant be entitled to exercise a number of Warrants (or
portions thereof) in excess of the number of Warrants (or portions thereof) upon
exercise of which the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common
Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the
unexercised Warrants and the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other
securities of the Company (including the Debentures (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement)) subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein) and (ii) the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (or portions
thereof) with respect to which the determination described herein is being made,
would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more
than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause
(i) hereof.
- 2 -
2. Period of Exercise. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or
---------------------
from time to time on or after the date on which this Warrant is issued and
delivered pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Issue
Date") and before 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth (5') anniversary of
the Issue Date(the "Exercise Period").
3. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company hereby covenants
-----------------------------------
and agrees as follows:
(a) SHARES TO BE FULLYPAID. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance
-------------------
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the
issue thereof.
(b) RESERVATION OF SHARES. During the Exercise Period, the Company
------------------------
shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance
upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the full exercise of this Warrant.
(c) LISTING. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
-------
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon
exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of
Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from
time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall
so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as
the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital
stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long
as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities
exchange or automated quotation system.
(d) CERTAIN ACTIONS PROHIBITED. The Company will not, by amendment
----------------------------
of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i)
will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii)
will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(e) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Warrant will be binding upon any
-------------------------
entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of all
or substantially all the Company's assets.
- 3 -
4. ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS. During the Exercise Period, the
-------------------------
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as provided in this Paragraph 4.
In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein
results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the
nearest cent.
(a) ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES UPON ISSUANCE OF
-------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMON STOCK. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(e)
--------------
hereof, if and whenever on or after the Issue Date, the Company issues or sells,
or in accordance with Paragraph 4(b) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold,
any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share
(before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting
discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Market Price (as
hereinafter defined) on the date of issuance (or deemed issuance) of such Common
Stock (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the
Exercise Price will be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance by a fraction, (i)
the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares
of Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance,
plus (y) the quotient of the aggregate consideration, calculated as set forth in
Paragraph 4(b) hereof, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance
divided by the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive
Issuance, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of
Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below) immediately after the
Dilutive Issuance.
(b) EFFECT ON EXERCISE PRICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. For purposes of
-----------------------------------------------
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Paragraph 4(a) hereof, the
following will be applicable:
(i) ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS OR OPTIONS. If the Company in any manner
----------------------------------
issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not immediately
exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible Securities")
(such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible
Securities are hereinafter referred to as "Options") and the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than
the Market Price on the date of issuance or grant of such Options, then the
maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all
such Options will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Options, be
deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for
such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per
share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options" is
determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by
the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options,
plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable
to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or
exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become
convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the
- 4 -
maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all
such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if
applicable). No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the
actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon
the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of
such Options.
(ii) ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If the Company in any
--------------------------------------
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately
convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of
Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such
conversion or exchange is less than the Market Price on the date of issuance of
such Convertible Securities, then the maximum total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities,
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for
such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per
share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange" is
determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by
the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if
any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time
such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii)
the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion
or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the
Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iii) CHANGE IN OPTION PRICE OR CONVERSION RATE. Ifthere is a
------------------------------------------------ --
change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the
Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of
any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible
Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than
under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted 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 additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold.
(IV) TREATMENT OF EXPIRED OPTIONS AND UNEXERCISED CONVERTIBLE
--------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock
----------
issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such
Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired
or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the
Exercise Price 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 (other than in respect of
the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion
thereof), never been issued.
- 5 -
(v) CALCULATION OF CONSIDERATION RECEIVED. If any Common Stock,
-----------------------------------------
Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the
consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the amount
received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions,
underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or
incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case
any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the
consideration other than cash received by the Company will 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 will be the
Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any acquisition,
merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the
amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such
portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible -Securities, as the
case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities
will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(vi) EXCEPTIONS-TO ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. No adjustment to
---------------------------------------------
the Exercise Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options
or convertible -securities granted, issued and outstanding on the date of
issuance of this Warrant; (ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or
options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee benefit
plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as
the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the
independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of
the members of a committee of independent directors established for such
purpose; (iii) upon the exercise of the Warrants; or (iv) upon the issuance of
7,000,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Company's acquisition of
Plus Net, Inc.
(c) SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at
---------------------------------------------
any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock
acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of
record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any
time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder
into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting
such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased.
(d) ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the
-----------------------------------
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 4, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted
by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
- 6 -
(e) CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE. In case of any consolidation of
------------------------------
the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other corporation, or in
case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the
Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or
conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the holder of this Warrant
will have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu
of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be
issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of
Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of
this Warrant had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken
place. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision to insure
that the provisions of this Paragraph 4 hereof will thereafter be applicable as
nearly as may be in relation to any shards of stock or securities thereafter
deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any
consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation
thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes by
written instrument the obligations under this Paragraph 4 and the obligations to
deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to
acquire.
(f) DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In case the Company shall declare or
-------------------------
make any distribution of its assets (including cash) to holders of Common Stock
as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise,
then, after the date of record for determining stockholders entitled to such
distribution, but prior to the date of distribution, the holder of this Warrant
shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all
of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such
assets which would have been payable to the holder had such holder been the
holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to such distribution.
(g) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Upon the occurrence of any event which
-----------------------
requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the
Company shall give notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, which notice
shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase
or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon
exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified
by the chief financial officer of the Company.
(h) MINIMUM ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. No adjustment of the
-----------------------------------------
Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than I% of the Exercise Price
in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any
such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time
and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1 % of such
Exercise Price.
- 7 -
(i) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock are
----------------------
to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable
in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of a share of Common
Stock on the date of such exercise.
OTHER NOTICES. In case at any time:
---------------
(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock
payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution
(including dividends or distributions payable in cash out of retained earnings)
to the holders of the Common Stock;
(ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders
of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;
(iii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company
with or into, or sale of all or substantially all its assets to, another
corporation or entity; or
(iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up of the Company;
then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant
(a) notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record
shall be taken for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive
any such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining the
holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, notice of
the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation thereof by the
Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date
on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend,
distribution, or subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock
or other securities or property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or
winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least 30 days
prior to the record date or the date on which the Company's books are closed in
respect thereto. Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii)
and (iv) above.
(k) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated
by the adjustment provisions of this Paragraph 4 but not expressly provided for
by such provisions, the Company will give notice of such event as provided in
Paragraph 4(g) hereof, and the Company's Board of Directors will make an
appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common
Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant so that the rights of the Holder
shall be neither enhanced nor diminished by such event.
