SORRENTO NETWORKS CORPORATION
WARRANT
Warrant No. [_] Date of Original Issuance: January [_], 2004
SORRENTO NETWORKS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
hereby certifies that, for value received, [_] or its registered assigns (the
"Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of [_] shares
of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company
(each such share, a "Warrant Share" and all such shares, the "Warrant Shares")
at an exercise price equal to $3.44 per share (as adjusted from time to time as
provided in Section 9, the "Exercise Price"), at any time and from time to time
from and after the date hereof and through and including January [_], 2009 (the
"Expiration Date"), and subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant,
capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of January __,
2004, to which the Company and the original Holder are parties (the "Purchase
Agreement").
2. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon
records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Transfers.
(a) In addition to the restrictions noted in the legend set forth on
the first page of this Warrant, this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are subject
to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Purchase Agreement including,
without limitation, the restrictions set forth in Section 4.1(a) and (b)
thereof.
(b) The Company shall register the transfer (subject to Section 3(a)
above) of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of
this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and
signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such
registration or transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in
substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a "New Warrant"),
evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the
transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant
not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The
acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any
time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the
Expiration Date. At 6:30 p.m., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the
portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and
of no value, provided, that if the closing sales price of the Common Stock on
the Expiration Date is greater than 102% of the Exercise Price on the Expiration
Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the
extent not previously exercised) on a "cashless exercise" basis at 6:30 P.M. New
York City time on the Expiration Date.
(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4(b), at any time after
the first anniversary of the Closing Date, if the: (i) closing price of the
Common Stock for each of 30 consecutive Trading Days after such first
anniversary is greater than 200% of the Exercise Price (as adjusted pursuant to
Section 9), (ii) the Warrant Shares are either registered for resale pursuant to
an effective registration statement naming the Holder as a selling stockholder
thereunder (and the prospectus thereunder is available for use by the Holder as
to all then available Warrant Shares) or freely transferable without volume
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, as
determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter
addressed and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder and the
transfer agent for the Common Stock, and (iii) the Company shall have fully
honored in accordance with the terms of this Warrant all Exercise Notices
delivered prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date (as defined
below), then the Company may require the exercise of all, but (subject to
Section 11) not less than all, of the portion of this Warrant for which Exercise
Notices have not been delivered by 6:30 p.m. on the Call Date. To exercise this
right, the Company must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written notice (a
"Call Notice"), indicating therein that this Warrant shall be exercised. If the
conditions for such Call are satisfied from the period beginning on the date of
the Call Notice through and including the Call
-2-
Date, then, except as provided below, this Warrant must be exercised in full at
6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the tenth Trading Day after the date the Call
Notice is received by the Holder (such date, the "Call Date"). The Company
covenants and agrees that it will honor all Exercise Notices with respect to
Warrant Shares that are tendered from the time of delivery of the Call Notice
through 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date. The Company and the
Holder agree that, if and to the extent Section 11 of this Warrant would
restrict the ability of the Holder to exercise this Warrant in full in the event
of a delivery of a Call Notice, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in the Call Notice, the Call Notice shall be deemed automatically
amended to apply only to such portion of this Warrant as may be exercised by the
Holder by the Call Date in accordance with Section 11. The Holder will promptly
(and, in any event, prior to the Call Date) notify the Company in writing
following receipt of a Call Notice if Section 11 would restrict its exercise of
the Warrant, specifying therein the number of Warrant Shares so restricted. If
the Holder fails to timely exercise this Warrant as set forth in and required by
this Section 4(b), the Company shall have the right to repurchase in cash that
portion of this Warrant subject to the Call Notice at a price equal to $0.01
multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares subject to the Call Notice.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to
physically surrender this Warrant unless the aggregate Warrant Shares
represented by this Warrant is being exercised. Upon delivery of the Exercise
Notice to the Company (with the attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its
address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price
multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase
hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading
Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the
Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, which,
unless otherwise required by the Purchase Agreement, shall be free of
restrictive legends. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and
subsequent to the date on which a registration statement covering the resale of
the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, use its best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder
electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available, provided, that,
the Company may, but will not be required to change its transfer agent if its
current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the
Depository Trust Corporation. A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the
Holder shall have delivered to Company: (i) the Exercise Notice (with the
Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed and duly signed
and (ii) if such Holder is not utilizing the cashless exercise provisions set
forth in this Warrant, payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant
Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.
(b) If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company
fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required
pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such
exercise.
(c) If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company
fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required
pursuant to Section 5(a),
-3-
and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant
Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares
of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the
Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
"Buy-In"), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by
which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if
any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained
by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to
deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the
closing bid price of the Common Stock at the time of the obligation giving rise
to such purchase obligation and (2) at the option of the Holder, either
reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for
which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder shall
provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder
in respect of the Buy-In.
(d) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in
accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any
Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the
Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or
alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of
any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the
Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it
hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's
failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer
agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such
certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any
certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the
Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may
arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant
Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe. If a New Warrant is
-4-
requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall
deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the
Company's obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all
times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the
payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or
otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs
during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the
calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect
such event.
(b) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (1) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, (2) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (3)
any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is
completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or
exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (4) the Company
effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or
exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a
"Fundamental Transaction"), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to
receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities,
cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence
of such Fundamental
-5-
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full
of this Warrant (the "Alternate Consideration"). For purposes of any such
exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of
Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price
among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative
value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of
Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be
received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same
choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this
Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder's option and
request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental
Transaction shall, either (1) issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in
the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and
evidencing the Holder's right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the
aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof, or (2) purchase the Warrant from
the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after
such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental
Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised
portion of this Warrant on the date of such request. The terms of any agreement
pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms
requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions
of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement
security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous
to a Fundamental Transaction.
(c) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to
the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, the number of
Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the
aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant
Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment.
(d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made
to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares
owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any
such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(e) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute
such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted
Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the
transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.
-6-
(f) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend
or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of
its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing
the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to
hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order
to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this
Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any
defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to
be described in such notice.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one
of the following manners:
(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds;
or
(b) Cashless Exercise. If an Exercise Notice is delivered after the
Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement among the
original Holder and the Company in connection with this Warrant) and a
registration statement permitting the Holder to resell the Warrant Shares is not
then effective or the prospectus forming a part thereof is not then available to
the Holder for the resale of the Warrant Shares, then the Holder may notify the
Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize cashless exercise, in
which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares
determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this
Warrant is being exercised.
A = the average of the closing prices for the five Trading
Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise
Date.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on
the date this Warrant was originally issued.
-7-
11. Limitations on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by
the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof)
shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise
(or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then
beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose
beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder's for
purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.999% of the
total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for
such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such
purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a
Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of
securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a
Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant. This
restriction may not be waived.
12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be
issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash
equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of one
Warrant Share as reported by the applicable Trading Market on the date of
exercise.
13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date
of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at
the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading
Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight
courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to
the Company, to SORRENTO NETWORKS CORPORATION, 0000 Xxxx Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, XX
00000, Attn: Chief Financial Officer, Facsimile No.: (000) 000-0000, with a copy

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Xxxx X. Xxxxx, Esq., Facsimile No.: (949)
725-4100, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing
on the Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder
may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.
14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 30 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent
-8-
shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the
preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any
Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right,
remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only
in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and
assigns.
(b) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without
regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all
legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of
this Warrant and the transactions herein contemplated ("Proceedings") (whether
brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or
agents) may be commenced non-exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting
in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the "New York Courts"). Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection
herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any New York Court, or
that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of
delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated
hereby. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of
this Warrant, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed
by the other party for its attorney's fees and other costs and expenses incurred
with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.
(c) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a
part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the
provisions hereof.
(d) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be
invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a
valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
-9-
commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall
incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.
