OF
| Issue Date: January 13, 2006 | Warrant No. C-___ |
THIS CERTIFIES that [ ] and its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), has the
right to purchase from BOOKHAM, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), upon the
terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, up to [
] fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the “Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price per share
equal to the Exercise Price (as defined below), at any time and from time to time beginning on July
13, 2006 and ending at 6:00 p.m., eastern time, on January 13, 2011 (the “Expiration
Date”). This Warrant is issued pursuant to an Exchange Agreement, dated as of January 13, 2006
(the “Exchange Agreement”).
1. Exercise.
(a) Right to Exercise; Exercise Price. The Holder shall have the right to exercise
this Warrant at any time and from time to time during the period beginning on July 13, 2006 and
ending on the Expiration Date as to all or any part of the shares of Common Stock covered hereby
(the “Warrant Shares”). The “Exercise Price” for each Warrant Share purchased by
the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to $7.00, subject to adjustment for the
events specified in Section 6 below.
(b) Exercise Notice. In order to exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall send to the
Company by facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 6:00 p.m., eastern time, on the business
day on which the Holder wishes to effect such exercise (the “Exercise Date”), (i) a notice
of exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”),
and (ii) a copy of the original Warrant, and, in the case of a Cash Exercise (as defined below),
the Holder shall pay the Exercise Price to the Company by wire transfer. The Exercise Notice shall
state the name or names in which the shares of Common Stock that are issuable on such exercise
shall be issued. In the case of a dispute between the Company and the Holder as to the calculation
of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder (including, without
limitation, the calculation of any adjustment pursuant to Section 6 below), the Company shall issue
to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed within the time periods specified
in Section 2 below and shall submit the disputed calculations to a certified public accounting firm
of national reputation (other than the Company’s regularly retained accountants) within two (2)
business days following the date on which the Holder’s Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company.
The Company shall cause such accountant to calculate the Exercise Price and/or the number of
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder and to notify the Company and the Holder of the results in
writing no later than three (3) business days following the day on which such accountant received
the disputed calculations (the “Dispute Procedure”). Such accountant’s calculation shall be
deemed conclusive absent manifest error. The fees of any such accountant shall be borne by the
party whose calculations were most at variance with those of such accountant.
(c) Holder of Record. The Holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become
the holder of record of the Warrant Shares specified in an Exercise Notice on the Exercise Date
specified therein, irrespective of the date of delivery of such Warrant Shares. Except as
specifically provided herein, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the
Holder hereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the Exercise Date.
(d) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon its exercise in full
and, if this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time that it delivers Warrant
Shares to the Holder pursuant to such exercise as provided herein, issue a new warrant, and deliver
to the Holder a certificate representing such new warrant, with terms identical in all respects to
this Warrant (except that such new warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Common
Stock with respect to which this Warrant shall remain unexercised); provided, however, that the
Holder shall be entitled to exercise all or any portion of such new warrant at any time following
the time at which this Warrant is exercised, regardless of whether the Company has actually issued
such new warrant or delivered to the Holder a certificate therefor.
-2-
2. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Upon receipt of an Exercise Notice
pursuant to Section 1 above, the Company shall, (A) in the case of a Cash Exercise, no later than
the close of business on the later to occur of (i) the third (3rd) business day following the
Exercise Date specified in such Exercise Notice and (ii) such later date on which the Company shall
have received payment of the Exercise Price, (B) in the case of a Cashless Exercise (as defined
below), no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) business day following the Exercise
Date specified in such Exercise Notice, and (C) with respect to Warrant Shares that are the subject
of a Dispute Procedure, the close of business on the third (3rd) business day following the
determination made pursuant to Section 1(b) (each of the dates specified in (A), (B) or (C) being
referred to as a “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or caused to be delivered to the
Holder the number of Warrant Shares as shall be determined as provided herein. The Company shall
effect delivery of Warrant Shares to the Holder, as long as the Company’s designated transfer agent
or co-transfer agent in the United States for the Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”)
participates in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer
program (“FAST”) and no restrictive legend is required pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant or the Exchange Agreement, by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee at DTC (as
specified in the applicable Exercise Notice) with the number of Warrant Shares required to be
delivered, no later than the close of business on such Delivery Date. In the event that the
Transfer Agent is not a participant in FAST or if the Holder so specifies in a Exercise Notice or
otherwise in writing on or before the Exercise Date, the Company shall effect delivery of Warrant
Shares by delivering to the Holder or its nominee physical certificates representing such Warrant
Shares, no later than the close of business on such Delivery Date. Warrant Shares delivered to the
Holder shall not contain any restrictive legend unless such legend is required pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
3. Failure to Deliver Warrant Shares.
(a) In the event that the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the number of
Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Exercise Notice on or before the Delivery Date therefor
(an “Exercise Default”), the Company shall pay to the Holder payments (“Exercise
Default Payments”) in the amount of (i) (N/365) multiplied by (ii) the aggregate
Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares which are the subject of such Exercise Default multiplied
by (iii) the lower of twelve percent (12%) per annum and the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law (the “Default Interest Rate”), where “N” equals the number of days elapsed
between the original Delivery Date of such Warrant Shares and the date on which all of such Warrant
Shares are issued and delivered to the Holder. Cash amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on or
before the fifth (5th) business day of each calendar month following the calendar month in which
such amount has accrued.
(b) In the event of an Exercise Default, the Holder may, upon written notice to the Company
(an “Exercise Default Notice”), regain on the date of such notice the rights of the Holder
under the portion of this Warrant that is the subject of such Exercise Default. In the event of
such Exercise Default and delivery of an Exercise Default Notice, the Holder shall retain all of
the Holder’s rights and remedies with respect to the Company’s failure to deliver such Warrant
Shares (including without limitation the right to receive the cash payments specified in Section
3(a) above); provided, however, that such cash payments shall cease to accrue
effective as of the date of such Exercise Default Notice.
-3-
(c) The Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and no right or remedy is
exclusive of any other. In addition to the amounts specified herein, the Holder shall have the
right to pursue all other remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Nothing herein shall limit
the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares on the applicable Delivery Date (including, without limitation, damages relating to any
purchase of Common Stock by the Holder to make delivery on a sale effected in anticipation of
receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise, such damages to be in an amount equal to (A) the aggregate
amount paid by the Holder for the Common Stock so purchased minus (B) the aggregate amount
of net proceeds, if any, received by the Holder from the sale of the Warrant Shares issued by the
Company pursuant to such exercise).
4. Exercise Limitations.
(a) In no event shall a Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant, or part hereof, if, upon
such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder (other than
shares which would otherwise be deemed beneficially owned except for being subject to a limitation
on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 4), would exceed
4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. As used herein,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this Section 4 applies, the submission of an Exercise Notice by the Holder shall be
deemed to be the Holder’s representation that this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the terms
hereof and the Company shall be entitled to rely on such representation without making any further
inquiry as to whether this Section 4 applies. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict
the right of a Holder to exercise this Warrant, or part thereof, at such time as such exercise will
not violate the provisions of this Section 4. This Section 4 may not be amended unless such
amendment is approved by the holders of a majority of the Common Stock then outstanding; provided,
however, that the limitations contained in this Section 4 shall cease to apply (x) upon sixty one
(61) days’ prior written notice from the Holder to the Company, or (y) immediately upon written
notice from the Holder to the Company at any time after the public announcement or other disclosure
of a Major Transaction (as defined in Section 6 below) or a Change of Control (as defined below).
(b) When used herein, the following terms shall have the respective meanings indicated:
(i) “Change of Control” means the existence or occurrence of any of the following: (a) the
sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (b) the
effectuation of a transaction or series of transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of
the voting power of the Company is disposed of; (c) the consolidation, merger or other business
combination of the Company with or into any other entity, immediately following which the prior
stockholders of the Company fail to own, directly or indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) of
the surviving entity; (d) a transaction or series of transactions in which any Person (as defined
below) or group acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting equity of the Company; and (e)
the Continuing Directors (as defined below) do not at any time constitute at least a majority of
the Board of Directors of the Company.
-4-
(ii) “Continuing Director” means at any date a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (i)
who was a member of such board on the date of the Exchange Agreement or (ii) who was nominated or
elected by at least a majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such
nomination or election or whose election to the Company’s Board of Directors was recommended or
endorsed by at least a majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such
nomination or election or such lesser number comprising a majority of a nominating committee if
authority for such nominations or elections has been delegated to a nominating committee whose
authority and composition have been approved by at least a majority of the directors who were
Continuing Directors at the time such committee was formed.
(iii) “Person” means means any individual, corporation, trust, association, company,
partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, governmental authority
(which shall include any nation or government, any state, provincial or political subdivision
thereof and any entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative
functions of or pertaining to government and any stock exchange, securities market or
self-regulatory organization) or other entity.
5. Payment of the Exercise Price; Cashless Exercise. The Holder may pay the Exercise
Price in either of the following forms or, at the election of Holder, a combination thereof:
(a) through a cash exercise (a “Cash Exercise”) by delivering immediately available
funds, or
(b) if an effective Registration Statement is not available for the resale of all of the
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder at the time an Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company,
through a cashless exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”), as hereinafter provided. The Holder
may effect a Cashless Exercise by surrendering this Warrant to the Company and noting on the
Exercise Notice that the Holder wishes to effect a Cashless Exercise, upon which the Company shall
issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
| X = Y x (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 Market Price (as defined below) as of the Exercise Date; and | ||
| B = the Exercise Price. |
For purposes of Rule 144, it is intended 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 required by Rule 144 shall be deemed to have been
-5-
commenced on November 8, 2002 (the date of the original issuance of the Series B-1 Senior Secured
Note due 2006 for which this Warrant was exchanged).
(c) When used herein, the following terms shall have the respective meanings indicated:
(i) “Market Price” means, as of a particular date, the average of the daily VWAP on each of
the five (5) consecutive Trading Days occurring immediately prior to (but not including) such date.
(ii) “VWAP” on a Trading Day means the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for
such Trading Day on the Principal Market as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets or, if
Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting such prices, by a comparable reporting service of
national reputation selected by the Investors and reasonably satisfactory to the Company. If the
VWAP cannot be calculated for the Common Stock on such Trading Day on any of the foregoing bases,
then the Company shall submit such calculation to an independent investment banking firm of
national reputation reasonably acceptable to the holders (the “Warrant Holders”) of all of warrants
issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and shall cause such investment banking firm to perform
such determination and notify the Company and the Warrant Holders of the results of determination
no later than two (2) business days from the time such calculation was submitted to it by the
Company. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock
split or other similar transaction during such period.
(iii) “Principal Market” means the principal exchange or market on which the Common Stock is
listed or traded.
(iv) “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is purchased and sold on the
Principal Market.
6. Anti-Dilution Adjustments; Distributions; Other Events. The Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
provided in this Section 6. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price required herein
results in a fraction of a cent, the Exercise Price shall be rounded up or down to the nearest one
hundredth of a cent.
(a) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time after the
date on which this Warrant is originally issued (the “Issue Date”), subdivides (by any
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then effective upon the close
of business on the record date for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company, at any time
after the Issue Date, combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, then, effective upon the close of business on the record date for effecting such
combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be
proportionally increased.
-6-
(b) Distributions. If, at any time after the Issue Date, the Company declares or
makes any distribution of cash or any other assets (or rights to acquire such assets) to holders of
Common Stock, including without limitation any dividend or distribution to the Company’s
stockholders in shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (a
“Distribution”), the Company shall deliver written notice of such Distribution (a
“Distribution Notice”) to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the earlier to
occur of (i) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to such Distribution (the
“Record Date”) and (ii) the date on which such Distribution is made (the “Distribution
Date”) (the earlier of such dates being referred to as the “Determination Date”). In
the Distribution Notice to a Holder, the Company shall indicate whether the Company has elected (A)
to deliver to such Holder, upon any exercise of this Warrant on or after the Determination Date,
the same amount and type of assets (including, without limitation, cash) being distributed as
though the Holder were, on the Determination Date, a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock
into which the this Warrant is exercisable as of such Determination Date (such number of shares to
be determined without giving effect to any limitations on such exercise) or (B) upon any exercise
of this Warrant on or after the Determination Date, to reduce the Exercise Price applicable to such
exercise by reducing the Exercise Price in effect on the business day immediately preceding the
Record Date by an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets to be distributed divided
by the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Distribution is to be made, such fair
market value to be reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. If the
Company does not notify the Holders of its election pursuant to the preceding sentence on or prior
to the Determination Date, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) of the preceding
sentence.
(c) Convertible Securities; Purchase Rights. If, at any time after the Issue Date,
the Company issues any securities or other instruments which are convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) or options, warrants or other rights to
purchase or subscribe for Common Stock or Convertible Securities (“Purchase Rights”) to the record
holders of the Common Stock, whether or not such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights are
immediately convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, then the Holders shall be entitled, upon any
exercise of this Warrant after the date of record for determining stockholders entitled to receive
such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights (or if no such record is taken, the date on which
such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights are issued), to receive the aggregate number of
Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights which the Holder would have received with respect to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise (without giving effect to any limitations on
such exercise contained in this Warrant or the Exchange Agreement) had the Holder been the holder
of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights (or if no such record is taken, the date on
which such Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights were issued).
(d) Major Transactions. In the event of a merger, consolidation, business
combination, tender offer, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, redemption or
other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or
a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities or
other assets of the Company or another entity or the Company shall sell all or substantially all of
its assets (each of the foregoing being a “Major Transaction”), the Company will give the
Holder
-7-
at least ten (10) Trading Days written notice prior to the earlier of (x) the closing or
effectiveness of such Major Transaction and (y) the record date for the receipt of such shares of
stock or securities or other assets. In the event of a Major Transaction, the Holder shall be
permitted (but not required) to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time prior to the
record date for the receipt of such consideration and shall be entitled to receive, for each share
of Common Stock issuable to Holder upon such exercise, the same per share consideration payable to
the other holders of Common Stock in connection with such Major Transaction. If and to the extent
that the Holder retains any portion of this Warrant following such record date, the Company will
cause the surviving or, in the event of a sale of assets, purchasing entity, as a condition
precedent to such Major Transaction, to assume the obligations of the Company under this Warrant,
with such adjustments to the Exercise Price and the securities covered hereby as may be reasonably
necessary in order to preserve the economic benefits of this Warrant to the Holder.
(e) Adjustments; Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any
time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6, the Holder of this Warrant
shall, upon exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive securities or assets (other than
Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be
deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the
number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this
Section 6. Any adjustment made herein pursuant to Section 6(a) that results in a decrease in the
Exercise Price shall also effect a proportional increase in the number of shares of Common Stock
into which this Warrant is exercisable.
7. Fractional Interests.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but on exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof may purchase only a
whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof would
be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of
Common Stock, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional share, pay to the Holder an
amount in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying such fraction by the Market Price as
of the Exercise Date.
8. Transfer of this Warrant.
The Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole
or in part, as long as such sale or other disposition is made pursuant to an effective registration
statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and is otherwise made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Exchange
Agreement. Upon such transfer or other disposition (other than a pledge), the Holder shall deliver
this Warrant to the Company together with a written notice to the Company, substantially in the
form of the Transfer Notice attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Transfer Notice”),
indicating the person or persons to whom this Warrant shall be transferred and, if less than all of
this Warrant is transferred, the number of Warrant Shares to be covered by the part of this Warrant
to be transferred to each such person. Within three (3) business days of receiving a Transfer
Notice and the original of this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the each transferee
-8-
designated by the Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number
of Warrant Shares and, if less than all this Warrant is transferred, shall deliver to the Holder a
Warrant for the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
9. Benefits of this Warrant.
This Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Holder of this Warrant and
nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the Holder of this
Warrant any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder.
10. Loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of Warrant.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, and upon surrender of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.
11. Notice or Demands.
Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by the Company or the Holder
pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when
delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day
that is not a business day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next
succeeding business day, (ii) on the next business day after timely delivery to an overnight
courier and (iii) on the business day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), addressed as follows:
