WARRANT AGREEMENT NO. 2
To Purchase Shares of the Series B Preferred of
OPTICAL NETWORKS, INCORPORATED
Dated as of February 10, 1999 ( the "Effective Date")
WHEREAS, Optical Networks, Incorporated, a California corporation (the
"Company") has entered into a Subordinated Loan and Security Agreement dated as
of February 10, 1999, and related Subordinated Promissory Note(s) (collectively,
the "Subordinated Loan Documents") with Comdiso, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Warrantholder"); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant Warrantholder, in consideration for
such Subordinated Loan Documents, the right to purchase shares of its Series B
Preferred Stock;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Warrantholder executing and
delivering such Subordinated Loan Documents 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 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, 89,337 fully paid and non-assessable shares
of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") at a purchase
price of $1.1754 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The number and purchase price
of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 hereof.
If all of the Company's outstanding Preferred Stock is converted into
shares of Common Stock in connection with the registration of the Company's
Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or otherwise in
accordance with the terms of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation, then this Warrant shall automatically become exercisable for that
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the
shares of Preferred Stock received thereupon had been simultaneously converted
in Common Stock immediately prior to such even, and the Exercise Price shall be
automatically adjusted to equal the amount obtained by dividing (i) the
aggregated Exercise Price of the shares of Preferred Stock for which this
Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such conversion, by (ii) the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
after such conversion. The shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock subject to
this Warrant, as the case may be, are sometimes referred to herein as "Warrant
Stock".
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 of (i) ten (10) years
or (ii) five (5) years from the effective date of the Company's initial public
offering, whichever is shorter.
Notwithstanding the terms of this Warrant Agreement as set forth above, the
right to purchase Preferred Stock as granted shall expire, if not previously
exercised, immediately upon the closing of (i) the issuance and sale of shares
of Common Stock of the Company in the Company's first public offering of
securities for its own account pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Initial Public Offering"),
provided that the net proceeds to the Company exceed $10,000,000, and provided
further that the Warrantholder is afforded an opportunity to include Registrable
Securities issuable upon exercise hereof in such Initial Public Offering in
accordance with the terms of the Company's Investors' Rights Agreement or (ii) a
merger of consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation when the
Company is not the surviving corporation, or
1
the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to
any other person (the "Merger"), provided that the holders of Warrantholder
realizes a value for its shares of Preferred Stock issuable hereunder receive
consideration with a value equal to or greater than $2.35 per share in such
Merger. The Company shall notify the Warrantholder if the Initial Public
Offering is proposed with a reasonable period of time prior to the filing of a
registration statement and if the Company fails to deliver such written notice
within a reasonable period of time, anything to the contrary in this Warrant
Agreement notwithstanding, the rights to purchase will not expire until ten (10)
business days after the Company delivers such notice to the Warrantholder. Such
notice shall also contain such details of the proposed Initial Public Offering
or Merger as are reasonable in the circumstances and notice that this Warrant
Agreement is expected to expire upon closing thereof.
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 1 (the "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 Warrantholder's election either (i) by
cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of Warrants ("Net Issuance") as determined
below. If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the Company will
issue Warrant Stock in accordance with the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
------
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to the
Warrantholder.
Y = the number of shares of Warrant Stock requested to be
exercised under this Warrant Agreement.
A = the fair market value of one (1) share of Warrant Stock.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of the above calculation, the current fair market value of the
Warrant Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Warrant Stock:
(i) if this 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 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 average of the closing prices over a twenty-
one (21) day period ending three days before the day the current fair
market value of the securities is being determined; or
(b) if actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value
shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked prices
quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar system) over the twenty-one
(21) day period ending three days before the day the current fair
market value of the securities is being determined;
(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 Warrant Stock shall be the highest price per
share which the Company could obtain from a willing buyer (not a current
employee or director) for shares of Warrant Stock sold by the Company, from
authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by its Board of
Directors, 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
2
the fair market value of Warrant Stock shall be deemed to be the value
received by the holders of such Warrant 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.
---------------------
Authorization and 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 Warrant Stock to provide for the exercise of the
rights to purchase Warrant 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.
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) Xxxxxx 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 assets to any other
person, other than as defined in Section 2 hereof (hereinafter referred to as a
"Merger Event"), then, as a part of such Merger Event, 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 in value to that which would have been issuable if Warrantholder had
exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the Merger Event. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant
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.
(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 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 Warrant Stock, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately
increased in the case of a combination.
(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 (b)) of the Company's capital
stock to the holders of outstanding shares of the Company's Warrant Stock, then
the Warrantholder shall,
3
upon exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number
of shares or Warrant Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any
additional consideration therefore, the amount of the Company's capital stock
which would have been issuable to such Warrantholder if Warrantholder had
exercised this Warrant Immediately prior to the date on which holders of Warrant
Stock received such dividend or distribution of the Company's capital stock.
(e) Right to Purchase Additional Stock. If the Company has not paid any
----------------------------------
Subordinated Promissory Note(s) entered into pursuant to the Subordinated Loan
Documents in its entirety within twelve (12) months of the Maturity Date (as
defined in the applicable Subordinated Promissory Note(s)), then for each
additional month, or portion thereof, thereafter that the outstanding principal
is not paid. Warrantholder shall have the right to purchase from the Company, at
the Exercise Price (adjusted as set forth herein), an additional number of
shares of Warrant Stock which number shall be determined by (i) multiplying the
outstanding principal amount which is due, but unpaid, by 1% and (ii) dividing
the product thereof by the Exercise Price.
(f) Antidilution Rights. Shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise
-------------------
of this Warrant shall be entitled, with respect to such issuance or sale, to the
same antidilution benefits then applicable to other shares of the Preferred
Stock as set forth in its Company's Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation (the "Charter") as amended through the time of such issue or sale.
A copy of the Charter as currently in effect has been delivered to the
Warrantholder. The Company shall promptly provide the Warrantholder with any
restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment to the Exercise Price or the
number and character of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be made by virtue of this Section 8 to the extent that such adjustment is
effected (by adjusting the conversion price of tile Preferred Stock or
otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the Charter. The Company will provide
notice to Warrantholder of any such adjustments in accordance with the terms of
the Charter (assuming, solely for purposes of such notice, that Warrantholder
was currently a holder of the shares of Warrant Stock then issuable upon an
exercise of this Warrant).
(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 (excluding any dividend or distribution for which an adjustment will
be made pursuant to Section 8(d)); (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription
pro rata to the holders of any class of its Preferred or other convertible stock
any additional shams of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be

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

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).
Promptly following any adjustment to the Exercise Price or tire number and
character of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant effected pursuant
to this Section 8, the Company shall provide written notice of such adjustment
to the Warrantholder. 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 in timely provide such notice required by
-------------
subsection (g) above shall entitle Warrantholder to retain the benefit of the

registration or exemption.
(b) Private Issue. The Warrantholder understands (i) that the Warrant

Warrantholder presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated
newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or
solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Warrant
Securities.
(c) Disposition of Warrantholder's Rights. In no event will the
-------------------------------------
Warrantholder make a disposition of any of the Warrant Securities 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 by 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
Warrant Securities 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 Warrant Security 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 Warrant Securities 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 Warrant Securities
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, and has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with
the purchase of the Warrant Securities.
(e) Risk of No Registration. The Warrantholder understands that if the
-----------------------
Company does not register with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant

Section 15(d), of the 1934 Act, or if a registration statement covering the
securities under the 1933 Act is not in effect when it desires to sell Warrant
Securities, it may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite period.
The Warrantholder also understands that any sale of Warrant Securities 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.
