WARRANT AGREEMENT
To Purchase Shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of
INTERNET TRAVEL NETWORK
Dated as of June 29, 1999 (the "Effective Date")
WHEREAS, Internet Travel Network, a California corporation (the
"Company") has entered into a Master Lease Agreement dated as of April 2, 1996,
Equipment Schedule No. VL-4 dated as of June 29, 1999, and related Summary
Equipment Schedules (collectively, the Leases) with Comdisco, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Warrantholder"); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Warrantholder, in
consideration for such Leases, the right to purchase shares of its Series B
Preferred Stock;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Warrantholder executing,
performing and delivering such Leases and in consideration of mutual covenants
and agreements contained herein, the Company and Warrantholder agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE PREFERRED STOCK.
----------------------------------------------
The Company hereby grants to the Warrantholder, and the Warrantholder
is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth,
to subscribe to and purchase, from the Company, 19,500 fully paid and non-
assessable shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock")
at a purchase price to be calculated as follows (the "Exercise Price"). In the
event the next round of equity financing, which shall be defined as the earlier
to occur of (i) the closing of an initial public offering, (ii) the closing of
an acquisition or merger of the Company, or (iii) the closing of a round of
(raising $10,000,000 or more) Series E Preferred Stock financing ("Next Round")
occurs prior to August 11, 1999 the Exercise Price shall be the price per share
of the Next Round (in the event such price per share is being determined in
connection with an initial public offering, such price per share shall be deemed
to be the per share "price to public" set forth on the front cover of the
Company's final prospectus and in connection with an acquisition or merger the
imputed price per share of Series B Preferred Stock) ("100% Price"). In the
event the Next Round occurs on or after August 11, 1999 and
prior to November 12, 1999, then the Exercise Price shall be 85% of the price
per share of the Next Round ("85% Price"). In the event the Next Round occurs on
or after November 13, 1999 then the Exercise Price shall be $5.125 per share
(Series C Preferred Stock Price).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) the Next Round is
the closing of the sale by the Company of a Series E Preferred Stock raising
$10,000,000 or more; and (ii) the Company issues to the purchasers of the Series
E Preferred Stock in connection with the Next Round warrants having an exercise
price per share that is less than the Series E Preferred Stock price per share
(the "In-the Money Warrants"), then the Exercise Price of this warrant shall be
the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the sum of the aggregate gross proceeds to
the Company from the issuance of Series E Preferred Stock in the Next Round and
the aggregate gross proceeds the Company would receive upon the full exercise of
all In-the-Money Warrants as of the date of the close of the Next Round; by (y)
the sum of the total number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued in the
Next Round and the total number of shares that would be issuable upon the full
exercise of all the In-the Money Warrants as of the date of the close of the
Next Round. The Exercise Price determined in accordance with this paragraph
shall remain subject to adjustment as described in the preceding paragraph based
upon the closing date of the Next Round.
The number and purchase price of such shares are subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 8 hereof.
2. TERM OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT.
-----------------------------
Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Warrant
Agreement and the right to purchase Preferred Stock as granted herein shall
commence on the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period ending upon
the earlier of (i) seven (7) years from the Effective Date of this Warrant
Agreement or (ii) two (2) years from the effective date of the Company's initial
public offering.
Notwithstanding the term of this Warrant Agreement fixed pursuant to
the above paragraph, the right to purchase Preferred 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 (the "Merger")
provided in which Warrantholder realizes a value for its shares equal to or
greater than $4.98 per share.
The Company shall notify Warrantholder if the Merger is proposed in
accordance with the terms of 8(f) hereof, and if the Company fails to deliver
such written notice, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Warrant Agreement, the rights to purchase the Company's Preferred Stock shall
not expire until the Company complies with such notice provisions. Such notice
shall also contain such details of the proposed Merger as are reasonable in the
circumstances. If such closing does not take place, the Company shall promptly
notify the Warrantholder that such proposed transaction has been terminated, and
the Warrantholder may rescind any exercise of its purchase rights promptly after
such notice of termination of the proposed transaction if the exercise of
Warrants has occurred after the Company notified the
2
Warrantholder that the Merger was proposed. In the event of such recission, the
Warrants will continue to be exercisable on the same terms and conditions
contained herein.
3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.
-------------------------------
The purchase rights set forth in this Warrant Agreement are
exercisable by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time
to time, prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2 above, by
tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I ("Notice of Exercise"), duly completed and
executed. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of
the purchase price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event
later than twenty one (21) days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the
Warrantholder a certificate for the number of shares of Preferred Stock
purchased and shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit II (the "Acknowledgment of Exercise") indicating the number of
shares which remain subject to future purchases, if any.
The Exercise Price may be paid at the Warrantholder's election either
(i) by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of Warrants ("Net Issuances") as
determined below. If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the
Company will issue Preferred Stock in accordance with the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
------
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the
Warrantholder.
Y = the number of shares of Preferred Stock requested to be exercised
under this Warrant Agreement.
A = the current fair market value of one (1 ) share of Preferred
Stock as of the date of exercise.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of
Preferred Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Preferred Stock:
(i) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public
offering of the Company's Common Stock, and if the Company's Registration
Statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the
SEC, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x) the
initial Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with respect to the
offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of
Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;
(ii) if this Warrant is exercised after, and not in connection
with the Company's initial public offering, and:
(a) if traded on a securities exchange, the fair market
value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the closing prices
over a ten (10) day period ending the day the current fair market value of the
securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into
which each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;
or
3
(b) if actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market
value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the closing bid
and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar system) over the ten
(10) day period ending the day the current fair market value of the securities
is being determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each
share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;
(iii) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any
securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter
market, the current fair market value of Preferred Stock shall be the product of
(x) the highest price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing
buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by
the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by
its Board of Directors and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which
each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise,
unless the Company shall become subject to a merger, acquisition or other
consolidation pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving party, in which
case the fair market value of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the value
received by the holders of the Companies Preferred Stock on a common equivalent
basis pursuant to such merger or acquisition.
Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company
shall promptly issue an amended Warrant Agreement representing the remaining
number of shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such
amended Warrant Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein,
including, but not limited to the Effective Date hereof.
4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
---------------------
During the term of this Warrant Agreement, the Company will at all
times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its
Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights to purchase Preferred
Stock as provided for herein.
5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.
-----------------------------
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares
the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise
Price then in effect.
6. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.
------------------------
This Warrant Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any
voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the
exercise of the Warrant.
7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.
----------------------
The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of
the registered holder of this Warrant Agreement.
4
8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.
-----------------
The purchase price per share and the number of shares of Preferred
Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:
(a) Merger and Sale of Assets. If at any time there shall
-------------------------
be a capital reorganization of the shares of the Company's stock (other than a
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise
provided for herein), or a 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 Company's properties and assess To
any other person (hereinafter referred to as a "Merger Event"), then, as a part
of such Merger Event, unless lawful provision shall be made so that the
Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the
Warrant, the number of shares of preferred stock or other securities of the
successor corporation resulting from such Merger Event, equivalent to that which
would have been issuable if Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant immediately
prior to the Merger Event (the "Assumption"), then upon the effective time of
such Merger Event, if not exercised at such time or prior by the Warrantholder,
by cash or otherwise, this Warrant shall automatically be exercised pursuant to
the Net Issuance provision set forth in Section 3 hereof for the full amount of
shares of the Preferred Stock remaining available for purchase according to the
terms and provisions hereof without any action by the Warrantholder, the Company
or any third party. In the event of an Assumption, appropriate adjustment (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company making the
Assumption) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant
Agreement with respect to the rights and interest of the Warrantholder after the
Merger Event to the end that the provisions of this Warrant Agreement (including
adjustments of the Exercise Price and number of shares of Preferred Stock
purchasable) shall be applicable to the greatest extent possible and the
Exercise Price of any replacement warrant or other security shall be adjusted
such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable thereunder remains equivalent to
the aggregate exercise price hereunder.
(b) Reclassification of Shares. If the Company at any time
--------------------------
shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities
or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under
this Warrant Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities
of any other class or classes, this Warrant Agreement shall thereafter represent
the right to acquire, for the same aggregate Exercise Price, such number and
kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with
respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this
Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such combination, reclassification,
exchange, subdivision or other change.
(c) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company
------------------------------------
at any time shall combine or subdivide its Preferred Stock, (i) the Exercise
Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or
proportionately increased in the case of a combination, and (ii) the number of
shares of Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately
increased in the case of a subdivision or proportionately decreased in the case
of a combination, in each case such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable
hereunder remains the same.
5
(d) Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time shall pay
---------------
a dividend payable in, or make any other distribution (except any distribution
specifically provided for in the foregoing subsections (a) or (h)) of the
Company's Preferred Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and
after the record date of such dividend or distribution, to that price determined
by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record
date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of all
shares of the Company's Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total
number of all shares of the Company's Preferred Stock outstanding immediately
after such dividend or distribution. The Warrantholder shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the
number of shares of Preferred Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share)
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment by the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise
hereof immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by
the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(e) Conversion of Preferred Stock. If the Company's
-----------------------------
outstanding Preferred Stock shall be converted into shares of the Company's
Common Stock pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, then this
Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock
that would have been issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant, if immediately prior to such conversion of the
outstanding Preferred Stock: (i) this Warrant had been exercised in full, and
(ii) the Preferred Stock issued upon such exercise had been converted to Common
Stock. In such event, (x) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted such that the
aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder remains the same, and (y) all
references to Preferred stock in this Warrant shall be deemed to be references
to the Company's Common Stock.
(f) Antidilution Rights. Additional antidilution rights
-------------------
applicable to the Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder are as set forth in the
Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended through the Effective Date, a
true and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit IV (the "Charter")
and the Company shall provide Warrantholder with copies of all notices provided
to holders of Preferred Stock. The Company shall promptly provide the
Warrantholder with any restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the
Charter.
(g) Notice of Adjustments. If: (i) the Company shall
---------------------
declare any dividend or distribution upon its stock, whether in cash, property,
stock or other securities; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription prorate
to the holders of any class of its Preferred Stock or other convertible stock
any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall
be any Merger Event; (iv) there shall be an initial public offering; or (v)
there shall be any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company; then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall send to the
Warrantholder: (A) within twenty (20) days following such event, written notice
of the date on which the books of the Company closed or a record was taken for
such dividend, distribution, subscription rights (specifying the date on which
the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining
rights to vote in respect of such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up; (B) in the case of any such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up, at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date when
the same shall occur (and except in the
6
case of an Assumption under Section 8(a), specifying the date on which the
holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Preferred Stock
for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up); and (C) in the case of a public
offering, the Company shall give the Warrantholder at least ten (10) days
written notice prior to the expected effective date thereof.
Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i)
the event requiring the adjustment, (ii) the amount of the adjustment, (iii) the
method by which such adjustment was calculated, (iv) the Exercise Price, and (v)
the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed
to the Warrantholder, at the address as shown on the books of the Company.
(h) Timely Notice. Failure to timely provide such notice
-------------
required by subsection (h) above shall entitle Warrantholder to retain the
benefit of the applicable notice period notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any insufficient notice received by Warrantholder. The notice
period shall begin on the date Warrantholder actually receives a written notice
containing all the information specified above.
9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

------------------------------
issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholder's rights has been duly and validly

10. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE WARRANTHOLDER.
--------------------------------------------------
This Warrant Agreement has been entered into by the Company in
reliance upon the following representations and covenants of the Warrantholder:
8
(a) Investment Purpose. The right to acquire Preferred
------------------
Stock or the Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholder's
rights contained herein will be acquired for investment and not with a view to
the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Warrantholder has no
present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same
except pursuant to a registration or exemption.
(b) Private Issue. The Warrantholder understands (i) that
-------------
the Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is not registered
under the 1933 Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the
ground that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant Agreement will be exempt
from the registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the
Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set
forth in this Section 10.
(c) Disposition of Warrantholder's Rights. In no event
-------------------------------------
will the Warrantholder make a disposition of any of its rights to acquire
Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights unless
and until (i) it shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition,
and (ii) if requested by the Company, it shall have furnished the Company with
an opinion of counsel (which counsel may either be inside or outside counsel to
the Warrantholder) satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect
that (A) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the 1933 Act has been
taken, or (B) an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act is
available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the
transferability of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock or Preferred
Stock issuable on the exercise of such rights do not apply to transfers from the
beneficial owner of any of the aforementioned securities to its nominee or from
such nominee to its beneficial owner, and shall terminate as to any particular
share of Preferred Stock when (1) such security shall have been effectively
registered under the 1933 Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with
such registration or (2) such security shall have been sold without registration
in compliance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or (3) a letter shall have been
issued to the Warrantholder at its request by the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Warrantholder at
its request by such Commission stating that no action shall be recommended by
such staff or taken by such Commission, as the case may be, if such security is
transferred without registration under the 1933 Act in accordance with the
conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling
specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required. Whenever the
restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove provided, the
Warrantholder or holder of a share of Preferred Stock then outstanding as to
which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the
Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new certificates for the
Warrant or for such shares of Preferred Stock not bearing any restrictive
legend.
(d) Financial Risk. The Warrantholder has such knowledge
--------------
and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic
risks of its investment.
(e) Risk of No Registration. The Warrantholder
-----------------------
understands that if the Company does not register with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the 1933 Act, or file reports
pursuant to Section 15(d), of the Securities Exchange
9
Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), or if a registration statement covering the
securities under the 1933 Act is not in effect when it desires to sell (i) the
rights to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this Warrant Agreement, or (ii)
the Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the right to purchase, it may be
required to hold such securities for an indefinite period. The Warrantholder
also understands that any sale of its rights of the Warrantholder to purchase
Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock which might be made by it in reliance upon
Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be made only in accordance with the terms and
conditions of that Rule.

investor" within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Rule 501 of
Regulation D, as presently in effect.
