THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD,
OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE
144 UNDER SUCH ACT.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
of
EQUINIX, INC.
Void after November 16, 2004
This Warrant is issued to MCI WORLDCOM, INC. or its registered assigns
("Holder") by Equinix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), on November
16, 1999 (the "Warrant Issue Date"). This Warrant is issued pursuant to the
terms of that certain Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Agreement")
and relates to the Company's Ashburn, Newark, Los Angeles and San Xxxx
facilities (the "Facilities"). In consideration of the Holder executing the
Agreement and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained
herein, the Company and the Holder agree as follows:
1. Purchase of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
------------------
set forth and set forth in the Agreement, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place
as the Company shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the
Company up to [*] [*] fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the
Company, as constituted on the Warrant Issue Date (the "Common Stock"). The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 1 (the
"Shares") shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 9 hereof.
2. Exercise Price. The purchase price for the Shares shall be $1.00, as
--------------
adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 9 hereof (the "Exercise Price").
3. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable during the term
---------------
commencing at such time as Holder provides Service (as defined in the Agreement)
to a given Facility (for such amount per Facility as set forth in the Agreement,
subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 9 hereof), and ending at 5:00 p.m. on
November 16, 2004. Notwithstanding the term of this Warrant fixed pursuant to
the preceding sentence, the right to purchase Common Stock as granted herein
shall expire, if not previously exercised, immediately upon the closing of a
merger

8
or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation when the
Company is not the surviving corporation, or the sale of all or substantially
all of the Company's properties and assets to any other person, provided such
transaction is one in which Holder realizes a value for its shares equal to or
greater than three (3) times the Exercise Price for such shares (the
"Threshold") (in connection therewith, the "Termination Event"). The Threshold
shall be adjusted in tandem with each adjustment in the Exercise Price
hereunder. In the event of a proposed transaction of the kind described above,
the Company shall notify the holder of the Warrant at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the consummation of such Termination Event. If such closing does not
take place, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder that the proposed
Termination Event has been terminated and the Holder may rescind any exercise of
this Warrant which occurred after the Company first notified the Holder of the
Termination Event. In the event of such recission, this Warrant will continue to
be exercisable on the same terms and conditions contained herein.
4. Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and
------------------
exercisable in accordance with Section 3 above, the Holder may exercise, in
whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be
effected by:
(a) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy
of the form of Notice of Election attached hereto, to the
Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and
(b) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased, which
may be paid by cash, check, wire transfer or by the surrender of
promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness
of the Company to the Holder.
5. Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section
------------
4, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any
additional consideration, shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at
the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in
which event the Company shall issue to the holder hereof a number of shares of
Common Stock computed using the following formula:
Y (A - B)
---------
X = A
Where: X = The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder pursuant to this net exercise;
Y = The number of Shares in respect of which the net issue
election is made;
A = The fair market value of one share of the Common Stock at
the time the net issue election is made;
B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of the net
issuance).
9
For purposes of this Section 5, the fair market value of one share of Common
Stock as of a particular date shall be determined as follows: (i) if traded on
a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market, the value shall be
deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such
exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the net
exercise election; (ii) if traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to
be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over
the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the net exercise; and
(iii) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market
value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company; provided, that, if the Warrant is being exercised upon the closing of
the IPO, the value will be the initial "Price to Public" of one share of such
Common Stock specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering.
6. "Easy Sale" Exercise. In lieu of the payment methods set forth in
--------------------
Sections 4 and 5 above, when permitted by law and applicable regulations
(including Nasdaq Stock Market and National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. ("NASD") rules), the Holder may pay the Exercise Price through a "same day
sale" commitment from the Holder (and if applicable a broker-dealer that is a
member of the NASD (and "NASD Dealer")), whereby the Holder irrevocably elects
to exercise this Warrant and to sell a portion of the Common Stock so purchased
to pay for the Exercise Price and the Holder (or, if applicable, the NASD
Dealer) commits upon sale (or, in the case of the NASD Dealer, upon receipt) of
such Common Stock to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company.
7. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights
-----------------------
evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so
purchased shall be issued in the name of the Holder (or as the Holder may
direct) as soon as practicable thereafter (with appropriate restrictive legends,
if applicable), and in any event within ten (10) days of the delivery of the
Notice of Election.
8. Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and
------------------------------
warrants to Holder as follows:
(a) Corporate Power. The Company will have at the Warrant Issue
---------------
Date all requisite legal and corporate power to execute and deliver this
Warrant, to sell and issue from Shares and to carry out and perform its
obligations under the terms of this Warrant.
(b) Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company,
-------------
its directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution,
delivery and performance of this Warrant by the Company, the authorization, sale
issuance and delivery of the Shares and the performance of all of the Company's
obligations under this Warrant has been taken or will be taken prior to the
Warrant Issue Date. This Warrant, when executed and delivered by the Company,
shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms. The Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant have been duly and validly reserved and, when issued in
compliance with the provisions of this Warrant, will be validly issued and will
be fully paid and nonassessable and will have the rights, preferences and
privileges described in the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Restated Certificate"). The Shares, when issued upon
exercise of this Warrant, will be free of any liens or encumbrances other than
those created by or imposed upon
10
the holders thereof through no action of the Company; provided, however, that
the Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal
securities laws. The Common Stock is not subject to any preemptive rights or
rights of first refusal.
9. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and
-------------------------------------------------
kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company
----------------------------------------------
shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Common
Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock
as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock, the number of
Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be
proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or
proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments
shall also be made to the Exercise Price, but the aggregate Exercise Price
payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as
adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 9(a) shall
become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or
combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in
the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of
--------------------------------------------------
any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the Common Stock of
the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock
dividend provided for in Section 9(a) above), then, as a condition of such
reclassification, reorganization, or change, lawful provision shall be made, and
duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor
shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at any
time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal
to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares
of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such
reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of
shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to
such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder
so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any
shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise
hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price payable
hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.
(c) Adjustment for Capital Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In case of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other
than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares
otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another corporation whether or not the Company is the surviving
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company other than a Termination Event as defined in Section 3 hereof, then, and
in each such case, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale
or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant
shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during
the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in
effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the
successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation,
sale or transfer that the Holder would
11
have been entitled to if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 9. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 9(c) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of
any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant. If the per share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for shares
in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or
marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined
in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate
adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors)
shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect
to the rights ad interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that
the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event to the
greatest extent possible.
(d) Adjustment for Delays Under the Agreement. This Warrant shall
-----------------------------------------
be subject to downward adjustment in the event that Holder fails to timely meet
its obligations with respect to the Company's Ashburn, Newark, Los Angeles or
San Xxxx facility under the Agreement. The number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as follows, based on
number of days of delay of the timeline for the Facility outlined on Schedule A
----------
of the Agreement:
0 to 14 days delay: [*] adjustment
15 to 30 days delay: [*]% adjustment (total: [*]%)
31 to 45 days delay: additional [*]% adjustment (total: [*]%)
46 to 60 days delay: additional [*]% adjustment (total: [*]%)
61-90 days delay: additional [*]% adjustment (total: [*]%)
91+ days or more delay: additional [*]% adjustment (total: [*]%)
provided, however that no adjustment shall be made if the delay is caused by
acts, delays or omissions of the Company, the Company's contractors, equipment
vendors of the Holder, federal, state or local jurisdictions or the inability of
the Holder to obtain necessary licenses or permits necessary for the Holder's
Service (as defined in the Agreement). In addition, in the event the Facility
is not located at the address set forth on Schedule A of the Agreement, the
----------
timeline for the Facility shall be as mutually agreed to by Holder and the
Company at such time as a new address is identified for the Facility.
(e) Repurchase of Shares. In the event of a downward adjustment
--------------------
after Holder has exercised this warrant, the Company shall be entitled to
repurchase the shares subject to the downward adjustment at the exercise price.
(f) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be
--------------------
made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant,
or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such
event and (i) of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or
property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and (ii) the
Exercise Price after such adjustment.

Holder and certain other Investors (as defined therein) on the terms and
conditions set forth therein, as if such terms and conditions were set forth in

including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive dividends
or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of
stockholder meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled to any notice or
other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company. However,
nothing in this Section 12 shall limit the right of the Holder to be provided

--------------------
and state securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are

the Company upon the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the
Company at its principal offices, and the payment to the Company of all transfer
taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. In the event of a
partial transfer, the Company shall issue to the holders one or more appropriate
new warrants.

THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THEY
MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION
IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE
144 UNDER SUCH ACT.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
of
EQUINIX, INC.
Void after November 16, 2004
This Warrant is issued to MCI WORLDCOM, INC. or its registered assigns
("Holder") by Equinix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), on November
16, 1999 (the "Warrant Issue Date"). This Warrant is issued pursuant to the
terms of that certain Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Agreement").
In consideration of the Holder executing the Agreement and in consideration of
the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company and the Holder
agree as follows:
1. Purchase of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
------------------
set forth and set forth in the Agreement, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place
as the Company shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the
Company up to [*] [*] fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the
Company, as constituted on the Warrant Issue Date (the "Common Stock"). The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 1 (the
"Shares") shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 9 hereof .
2. Exercise Price. The purchase price for the Shares shall be $1.00, as
--------------
adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 9 hereof (the "Exercise Price").
3. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in
---------------
part, during the term commencing on the Warrant Issue Date and ending at 5:00
p.m. on November 16, 2004. Notwithstanding the term of this Warrant fixed
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the right to purchase Common Stock as
granted herein shall expire, if not previously exercised, immediately upon the
closing of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation when the Company is not the surviving corporation, or the sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other
person, provided such transaction is one in which
______________________
*CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
16
Holder realizes a value for its shares equal to or greater than three (3) times
the Exercise Price for such shares (the "Threshold") (in connection therewith,
the "Termination Event"). The Threshold shall be adjusted in tandem with each
adjustment in the Exercise Price hereunder. In the event of a proposed
transaction of the kind described above, the Company shall notify the holder of
the Warrant at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such
Termination Event. If such closing does not take place, the Company shall
promptly notify the Holder that the proposed Termination Event has been
terminated and the Holder may rescind any exercise of this Warrant which
occurred after the Company first notified the Holder of the Termination Event.
In the event of such recission, this Warrant will continue to be exercisable on
the same terms and conditions contained herein.
4. Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and
------------------
exercisable in accordance with Section 3 above, the Holder may exercise, in
whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be
effected by:
(a) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy
of the form of Notice of Election attached hereto, to the Secretary of the
Company at its principal offices; and
(b) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased, which may be paid
by cash, check, wire transfer or by the surrender of promissory notes or
other instruments representing indebtedness of the Company to the Holder.
5. Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section
------------
4, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any
additional consideration, shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at
the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in
which event the Company shall issue to the holder hereof a number of shares of
Common Stock computed using the following formula:
Y (A - B)
---------
X = A
Where: X = The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder pursuant to this net exercise;
Y = The number of Shares in respect of which the net issue
election is made;
A = The fair market value of one share of the Common Stock at
the time the net issue election is made;
B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of the net
issuance).
For purposes of this Section 5, the fair market value of one share of Common
Stock as of a particular date shall be determined as follows: (i) if traded on
a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market, the value shall be
deemed to be the average of the closing prices of
17
the securities on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3)
days prior to the net exercise election; (ii) if traded over-the-counter, the
value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices
(whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days
prior to the net exercise; and (iii) if there is no active public market, the
value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company; provided, that, if the Warrant is being
exercised upon the closing of the IPO, the value will be the initial "Price to
Public" of one share of such Common Stock specified in the final prospectus with
respect to such offering.
6. "Easy Sale" Exercise. In lieu of the payment methods set forth in
-------------------
Sections 4 and 5 above, when permitted by law and applicable regulations
(including Nasdaq Stock Market and National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. ("NASD") rules), the Holder may pay the Exercise Price through a "same day
sale" commitment from the Holder (and if applicable a broker-dealer that is a
member of the NASD (and "NASD Dealer")), whereby the Holder irrevocably elects
to exercise this Warrant and to sell a portion of the Common Stock so purchased
to pay for the Exercise Price and the Holder (or, if applicable, the NASD
Dealer) commits upon sale (or, in the case of the NASD Dealer, upon receipt) of
such Common Stock to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company.
7. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights
-----------------------
evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so
purchased shall be issued in the name of the Holder (or as the Holder may
direct) as soon as practicable thereafter (with appropriate restrictive legends,
if applicable), and in any event within ten (10) days of the delivery of the
Notice of Election.
8. Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and
------------------------------
warrants to Holder as follows:
(a) Corporate Power. The Company will have at the Warrant Issue Date
---------------
all requisite legal and corporate power to execute and deliver this
Warrant, to sell and issue from Shares and to carry out and perform its
obligations under the terms of this Warrant.
(b) Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company,
-------------
its directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution,
delivery and performance of this Warrant by the Company, the authorization,
sale issuance and delivery of the Shares and the performance of all of the
Company's obligations under this Warrant has been taken or will be taken
prior to the Warrant Issue Date. This Warrant, when executed an delivered
by the Company, shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. The
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant have been duly and validly
reserved and, when issued in compliance with the provisions of this
Warrant, will be validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable
and will have the rights, preferences and privileges described in the
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated
Certificate"). The Shares, when issued upon exercise of this Warrant, will
be free of any liens or encumbrances other than those created by or imposed
upon the holders thereof through no action of the Company; provided,
however, that the Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer under
state and/or federal securities laws. The Common Stock is not subject to
any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal.
18
9. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and
-------------------------------------------------
kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company
----------------------------------------------
shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its
Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or issue additional shares of its
Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock,
the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall
forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or
stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.
Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, but the
aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable
under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment
under this Section 9(a) shall become effective at the close of business on
the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the
record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed,
upon the making of such dividend.
(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of
--------------------------------------------------
any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the Common Stock
of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or
stock dividend provided for in Section 9(a) above), then, as a condition of
such reclassification, reorganization, or change, lawful provision shall be
made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or
its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall
have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to
purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this
Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable in connection with such reclassification,
reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of shares of
Common Stock as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to such
reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the
Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with
respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable
upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the
Exercise Price payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price
shall remain the same.
(c) Adjustment for Capital Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In case of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company
(other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of
shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another corporation whether or not the Company is
the surviving corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company other than a Termination Event as defined in Section
3 hereof, then, and in each such case, as a part of such reorganization,
merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so
that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive
upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon
payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock
or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from
such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that the
Holder would have been entitled to if this Warrant had been exercised
immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or
transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 9.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 9(c) shall similarly apply to
successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers
and to the stock or securities of any
19
other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant. If the per share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for
shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash
or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be
determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. In all
events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the
Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the
provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights ad interests of the
Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this
Warrant shall be applicable after that event to the greatest extent
possible.
(d) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made
--------------------
in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant,
or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of
such event and (i) of the number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
and (ii) the Exercise Price after such adjustment.
10. Registration Rights. Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights
-------------------
set forth in Section 1 of the Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement
(the "Investors' Rights Agreement") dated August 26, 1999 among the Company,
Holder and certain other Investors (as defined therein) on the terms and
conditions set forth therein, as if such terms and conditions were set forth in
this Warrant Agreement. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, the Company
and Holder agree that the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are
"Registrable Securities," as that term is defined in the Investors' Rights
Agreement. The Company shall provide Holder with all notices and information at
the time and to the extent it is required to do so pursuant to Section 1 of the
Investors' Rights Agreement.
11. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
-----------------------------
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash
payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
12. No Stockholder Rights. Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder
---------------------
shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares,
including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive dividends
or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of
stockholder meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled to any notice or
other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company. However,
nothing in this Section 12 shall limit the right of the Holder to be provided
the Notices required under this Warrant or the Agreement.
13. Transfers of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable federal
--------------------
and state securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable in whole or in part by the Holder to any person or entity upon
written notice to the Company. The transfer shall be recorded on the books of
the Company upon the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the
Company at its principal offices, and the payment to the Company of all transfer
taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. In the event of a
partial transfer, the Company shall issue to the holders one or more appropriate
new warrants.
20
14. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Warrant and
----------------------
the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company
and the Holders hereof and their respective successors and assigns.
15. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Warrant may be amended and
----------------------
the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in
a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.
16. Reservation of Stock. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
--------------------

Warrant, such shares of Common Stock and other stock, securities and property,

shall notify the Holder hereof in writing). Notices to the Holder shall be sent
to the address of the Holder on the books of the Company (or at such other place
as the Holder shall notify the Company hereof in writing).
18. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably

this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an
indemnity agreement in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in
the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the
Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
19. Attorneys' Fees. If any action of law or equity is necessary to
