WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
OF
XXX.XXX, INC.
VOID AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2004
This Warrant (the "Warrant") is issued to U S WEST Internet Ventures,
Inc., a subsidiary of U S WEST, Inc. or its registered assigns ("Holder") by
XXX.xxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), on December 31, 1999 (the
"Warrant Issue Date") for consideration of [$5,000] in the aggregate, receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged.
1. Purchase Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal
corporate 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 476,190
shares of common stock (the "Warrant Shares") of the Company, $.001 par value
(the "Common Stock") at the Exercise Price (defined below), subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 8.
2. Exercise Price. The purchase price for the Shares shall be $10.50
per Warrant Share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 8 hereof
(the "Exercise Price").
3. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in
part, during the period commencing on the Warrant Issue Date and ending at 5:00
p.m. on December 31, 2004 (the "Exercise Period").
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 rights to purchase the Warrant Shares 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 Exercise attached hereto, to the
Secretary of the Company at its principal corporate offices; and
(b) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the
aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares being
purchased.
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, Warrant Shares 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 the Notice of Exercise attached
hereto indicating such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the
holder hereof a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:
Y (A - B)
X = A
Where: X = The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the
Holder pursuant to this net exercise;
Y = The number of Warrant Shares in respect of
which the net issue election is made;
A = The fair market value of one Warrant Share
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 Warrant Share 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 and offer 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.
6. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights
evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Warrant
Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter (with
appropriate restrictive legends, if applicable), and in any event within thirty
(30) days of the delivery of the subscription notice and the Holder's compliance
with Section 4 or 5 (as applicable) hereof.
7. Issuance of Shares. The Company covenants that the Warrant Shares,
when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges
with respect to the issuance thereof.
8. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Kind and Number of Shares. The
number 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 during the Exercise Period of this Warrant
(i) subdivide its Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine
its Common Stock, or (ii) issue additional shares of its Common Stock
or other equity securities as a dividend with respect to any shares of
its Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock 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 payable per Warrant Share, but the
aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares
purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any
adjustment under this Section 8(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 8(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 (subject
to adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 8, 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
purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate
purchase price shall remain the same.
(c) 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 of the number of shares of Common
Stock or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant.
(d) Issuance of New Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any of the
events listed in this Section 8 that results in an adjustment of the
type, number or exercise price of the securities underlying this
Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive a new warrant
reflecting such adjustment upon the Holder tendering this Warrant in
exchange. The new warrant shall otherwise have terms identical to this
Warrant.
9. Covenants and Conditions.
(a) No Impairment. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Warrant, Company shall: (i) reserve an appropriate number of
shares of Company's Common Stock to facilitate the issuance of shares
to Holder pursuant to this Warrant, (ii) not amend its articles in a
manner which would materially impair Company's ability to comply with
the terms of the Warrant or otherwise unfairly impair the rights of the
Holder.
(b) Registration Rights. The Company covenants that it will
use its best efforts to take all action necessary to enter into an
agreement with the Holder no later than 60 days from the date hereof,
which agreement shall grant to the Holder one piggyback registration
right on customary terms and conditions (including the Company's
agreement to pay all expenses of such registrations other than
underwriting discounts). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder's rights
hereunder shall be subordinate to holders of securities of the Company
who currently hold piggyback registration rights.

conditions of this Warrant, the Company represents and warrants that (i) the
Company is duly organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, and (ii) the
issuance of this Warrant has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action of the Company and does not conflict with the terms any of the bylaws,
articles of incorporation or any material agreements of the Company.
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 of Common Stock issuable on the exercise hereof, including, without
limitation, the right to vote such shares of Common Stock, 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

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. Any waiver or amendment effected
in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each holder of any shares
of Common Stock purchased under this Warrant at the time
outstanding (including securities into which such shares have been converted),
each future holder of all such Shares, and the Company.
15. Notices. All notices required under this Warrant shall be deemed to
have been given or made for all purposes (i) upon personal delivery, (ii) upon
an automatic machine generated confirmation receipt that the communication was
