No.: W-02-__ Number of Shares: ___________
Date of Issuance: November 11, 2002
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the
undersigned, FiberNet Telecom Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with
its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), hereby certifies that
_______________________________ or its registered assigns is entitled to
subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to
____________________________________ (_____________) shares (subject to
adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price
per share equal to the Warrant Price (as hereinafter defined) then in effect,
subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 8 hereof.
1. Term. The right to subscribe for and purchase shares of Warrant Stock
represented hereby shall commence on November 11, 2002 and shall expire at 5:00
p.m., eastern time, on November 11, 2007 (such period being the "Term").
-1-
2. Method of Exercise Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and
Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised in whole or in part during the Term commencing on November 11, 2002
and expiring on November 11, 2007.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in
whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form
attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the
payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised, payable at such Holder's election (i) by certified or official bank
check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by
"cashless exercise" in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this
Section 2, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment
selected by the Holder of this Warrant.
(c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary, if the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater
than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu
of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this
Warrant by a cashless exercise by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in
which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common
Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y - (A)(Y)
------
B
Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder.
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon
exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the
Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being
exercised.
A = the Warrant Price.
B = the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
(d) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so
purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder
hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such
exercise or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration
statement under the Securities Act qualifying a public offering of the Warrant
Stock is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company
("DTC") account on the Holder's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission System ("DWAC") within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3)
Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for
-2-
all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of
the date of such exercise and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new
Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of shares of Warrant
Stock, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised (less any amount thereof which shall have been canceled in payment or
partial payment of the Warrant Price as hereinabove provided) shall also be
issued to the Holder hereof at the Issuer's expense within such time.
(e) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(g), this Warrant may
be transferred by a Holder without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred
pursuant to this paragraph and subject to the provisions of subsection (g) of
this Section 2, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by
the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the
Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of
any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such
transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for
Warrants for the purchase of the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant
Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares
of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such
exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the
Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the
number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto.
(f) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any
time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to
afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant,
provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the
failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such
rights to such Holder.
(g) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges
that this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise
hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder's own account and not as a
nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will
not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of
Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an
effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under
the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all
certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise
hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the
following form:
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE
UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT") OR ANY STATE
-3-
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS OR FIBERNET TELECOM GROUP, INC. SHALL HAVE
RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF
SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT
REQUIRED.
(iii) The restrictions imposed by this subsection (e) upon the
transfer of this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased
upon exercise hereof shall terminate (A) when such securities shall have
been resold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, (B) upon the Issuer's receipt of an opinion of counsel, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, addressed to the
Issuer to the effect that such restrictions are no longer required to
ensure compliance with the Securities Act and state securities laws or (C)
upon the Issuer's receipt of other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act
and state securities laws are not required. Whenever such restrictions
shall cease and terminate as to any such securities, the Holder thereof
shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer (or its transfer agent and
registrar), without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any),
new Warrants (or, in the case of shares of Warrant Stock, new stock
certificates) of like tenor not bearing the applicable legend required by
paragraph (ii) above relating to the Securities Act and state securities
laws.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Adjustments; Reservation and Listing of Shares;
Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully Paid; Other Adjustments. The Issuer represents, warrants,
covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Issuer. The Issuer also
covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be
exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the
purpose of the issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant. The Issuer further
represents and warrants that the issuance of this Warrant and the Warrant Stock
will not trigger an adjustment of the exercise price or the number of securities
issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange, of any exercisable,
convertible, or exchangeable security issued on the Original Issue Date.
(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder
require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any
federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in
good faith use its reasonable best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its
expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer
shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it
will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such
listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from
-4-
time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided
hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been registered pursuant to a
registration statement under the Securities Act then in effect), and, to the
extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued
shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any
shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each
securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other
securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon
the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class
shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
(c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without
limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the
Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent
specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its
Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or
modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the
Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of
the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order
that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and
restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant,
and (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations,
exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in
lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like
tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common
Stock.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at
which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The
Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires
an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Section 5.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, no adjustments shall
be made to the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or the
price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant as a
result of any registered exchange offer to be effected by the Issuer to holders
of all of its warrants outstanding prior to the Original Issue Date, as
described in the Lender Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
-5-
(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation,
Merger or Sale.
(i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of
the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate with or merge
into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or
surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any
other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer
shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such
consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed
into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other
property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or
assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or
reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such
Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis
and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of
this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after
the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is
not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant
Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such
Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and
property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the
consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the
rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to
adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as
possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the
contrary, a Triggering Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if, prior
to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may
be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise
of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument
delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant,
(A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer
shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption
shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any
continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the
obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of Securities, cash or
property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection
(a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have
similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person,
which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the
alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief
Financial Officer of such Person, stating that this Warrant shall
thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof
(including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection
(a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such
Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the
exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.
(b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the
Issuer shall:
-6-
(i) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution
of, shares of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock,
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in
effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after
such adjustment.
(c) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive any dividend or other distribution of:
(i) cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned
surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of
the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer),
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other
than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock),
or
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any
other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash,
Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock),
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per
Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the
denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount
allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of
the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm of recognized
national standing acceptable to (but not affiliated with) the Holder) of any and
all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities
-7-
or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so
distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to
equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of
the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares
of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the
holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within
the meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a
part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or
combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
within the meaning of Section 4(b).
(d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(i) In the event the Issuer shall at any time following the six month
anniversary of the Original Issue Date issue any Additional Shares of
Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (b)
through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant
Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon
each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price determined by
multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the
number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the
issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (y) the number
of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the
total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would
purchase at a price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in
effect, and
(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of
shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after the issuance of
such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(ii) The provisions of paragraph (i) of Section 4(d) shall not apply
to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an
adjustment is provided under Section 4(b) or 4(c). No adjustment of the
Warrant Price or the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant shall be exercisable shall be made under paragraph (i) of Section
4(d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are
issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any
such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such
Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other
rights therefor) pursuant to Section 4(e) or Section 4(f).
(e) Issuance of Warrants or Other Rights. If at any time the Issuer shall
take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or
by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation)
issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents (or issue any warrant or other
rights therefor), whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder
are
-8-
immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrant or
other rights therefor) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the number of shares
for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall
be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d) on the basis that the maximum number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock
Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) shall
be deemed to have been issued and outstanding and the Issuer shall have received
all of the consideration payable therefor, if any, as of the date of the actual
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, warrants or other rights. No
adjustments of the Warrant Price then in effect or the amount of Warrant Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made upon the actual issue of
such Common Stock or of such Common Stock Equivalents upon exercise of such
warrants or other rights or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon such
conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.
(f) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If at any time the Issuer shall
take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or
by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation)
issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not the rights to
exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per
share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall
be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such
issue or sale, then the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted as
provided in Section 4(d) on the basis that the maximum number of Additional
Shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding and
the Issuer shall have received all of the consideration payable therefor, if
any, as of the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents. No
further adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made under
this Section 4(f) upon the issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents which are
issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made
upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to Section 4(e). No
further adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon
the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Common
Stock Equivalents.
(g) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the
Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) or
Section 4(f) as the result of any issuance of warrants, other rights or Common
Stock Equivalents, and (i) such warrants or other rights, or the right of
conversion or exchange in such other Common Stock Equivalents, shall expire, and
all or a portion of such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or
exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Common Stock
Equivalents, as the case may be shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the
consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant
to such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be increased solely by virtue of
-9-
provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per
share upon the occurrence of a specified date or event, then for each
outstanding Warrant such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and
the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by
virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded
and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such
computation. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth above in this Section
4(g), there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock
Equivalents on the basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable
pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or other rights or any
such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates
of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable
therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which then remain
outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such
increase of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or
other property are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents; whereupon a new
adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new
adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.
(h) Purchase of Common Stock by the Issuer. If the Issuer at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary
or otherwise, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock
at a price per share greater than the Per Share Market Value, then the Warrant
Price upon each such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be adjusted to
that price determined by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction (i) the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock
immediately prior to such purchase, redemption or acquisition minus the number
of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number
of such shares of Common Stock so purchased, redeemed or acquired would purchase
at the Per Share Market Value; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after such purchase,
redemption or acquisition. For the purposes of this subsection (h), the date as
of which the Per Share Market Price shall be computed shall be the earlier of
(x) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for the
purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock, or (y) the date of
actual purchase, redemption or acquisition of such Common Stock. For the
purposes of this subsection (h), a purchase, redemption or acquisition of a
Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to be a purchase of the underlying
Common Stock, and the computation herein required shall be made on the basis of
the full exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalent on the
date as of which such computation is required hereby to be made, whether or not
such Common Stock Equivalent is actually exercisable, convertible or
exchangeable on such date.
(i) Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The
following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the
Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:
(i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional
Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or
other rights therefor)
-10-
shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the
Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Issuer
therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription
price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without
a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such
case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or
accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation,
discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the
underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). To
the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash,
then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such
consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at
the time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Issuer. In case any Additional Shares of Common Stock or
any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor)
shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Issuer issues
any securities, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be
the fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Issuer, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving
corporation as such Board in good faith shall determine to be attributable
to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents, or any
warrants or other rights therefor, as the case may be. The consideration
for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants
or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other
rights plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon
exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any
Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any
Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer
for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such
Common Stock Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the
Issuer in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Common Stock
Equivalents, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the
Issuer upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock
Equivalents. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares
of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of
any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Issuer
shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the amount of such
dividend so paid or satisfied.
(ii) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this
Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event
requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable that
would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a
subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for
in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such
adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made
adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of
such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such
minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried
forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other
adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would
result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose
of any adjustment, any
-11-
specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business
on the date of its occurrence.
(iii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this
Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account
to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
(iv) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record
of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and
shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof,
legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution,
subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be
required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment
previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(j) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be
changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind
of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(k) Escrow of Warrant Stock. If after any property becomes distributable
pursuant to this Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders
of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record
is taken, and the Holder exercises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any
other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall
be held in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon
and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the
current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary
herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is
rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Issuer and
escrowed property returned.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of
this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at
the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to one of the national
accounting firms currently known as the "big four" selected by the Holder,
provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from
such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such
Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of
objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the
preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such
-12-
matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after
submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding
on the parties hereto.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares,
the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of
the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect.
7. Intentionally Omitted.
