amended by letter, dated April 23, 1997, and amended by an Amendment No. 1,
dated as of January 25, 1998 (as so corrected and amended to the date hereof,
but without giving effect to this Amendment, the "Agreement"); capitalized terms
used in this Amendment without other definition are defined as in the Agreement.
WHEREAS, the parties to the Agreement wish to make certain changes therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
A. Extension Warrant to AOL
1. Upon AOL's execution and delivery of this Amendment, TS shall issue
and deliver to AOL a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Holdings Common
Stock at an exercise price per share equal to $22.25, which warrant shall be in
the form of Appendix A to this Amendment. This new warrant shall be a "Warrant"
for all purposes of the Warrantholder and Stockholders Agreement.
B. Agreement Amendments. The Agreement is amended as follows, effective as
of the Amendment Effective Date:
1. The references in the Agreement to "this Agreement" or "the
Agreement" (including indirect references such as "hereunder," "hereby,"
"herein" and "hereof") shall be deemed to be references to the Agreement as
amended by this Amendment.
2. Section I.A.41. of the Agreement is hereby amended to substitute a
reference to "June 30, 2001 (June 30, 2000 with respect to the parties' rights
and obligations hereunder regarding Local Telecommunications Services and
Commercial Mobile Communications Services)" for the reference to "June 30, 2000"
therein.
3. Section III.A.1.(c) of the Agreement is amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
"(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the parties agree that, commencing * * * and ending * * * , AOL
shall provide the marketing and promotions set forth in Schedule
X to this Agreement."
and the Agreement is amended to add as Schedule X thereto the Schedule
X attached to this Amendment.

new subsection:
"(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:
"(i) Section III.A.1(f) of this Agreement shall apply in
connection with all marketing efforts in connection with the
Services, including any * * * efforts directed to subscribers to
the AOL Service that may be provided under this Agreement.
"(ii) TS shall not contract formally or informally with or
otherwise make payments to vendors in connection with * * * in

"(iii) All AOL Service subscriber identity information
necessary to perform any * * * efforts in connection with the
Services shall be provided to * * * by AOL and shall not be
disclosed to TS, and TS shall not purposefully examine or take
possession of any such information or otherwise encourage any
vendor or other party to disclose such information, in each case
in a manner inconsistent with AOL's privacy policies (other than
by virtue of TS's contact with any such subscriber after such
subscriber becomes an End User).
"(iv) All marketing activities by TS in connection with the
Services shall be performed, and any subscriber information
obtained by TS in connection with the Agreement shall be handled
in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and in
compliance with AOL's policies, including, without limitation,
AOL's privacy policies and AOL's * * * procedures and
guidelines."
5. Section V.B. of the Agreement is amended to add the following new
subsections:
"7. Commencing with * * * and so long as AOL shall be providing
the marketing and promotions described in Schedule X hereto (including
from and after * * * , as AOL may elect), TS shall pay to AOL the
amount of * * * for each Qualified End User who subscribes to the Long
Distance Telecommunications Services, whether through the marketing
described on Schedule X or otherwise,
2
after such commencement date, which amounts will be paid, with respect
to any month, on or before the last day of the next succeeding month."

compliance with the provisions of Section III.A.1.g hereof and (b)
provide to AOL reports, detailing Gross Revenues, Actual Services
Costs, Pre-Tax Profit, the gross numbers of End Users and Qualified
End Users, the gross numbers of Qualified End Users since the end of
the prior quarter and net End Users from the end of the prior period.
At AOL's request, given reasonably in advance, TS shall provide the
foregoing information at a frequency of no more than once every two
weeks with respect to End User information and no more than once every
45 days with respect to Gross Revenues, Actual Services Costs and
Pre-Tax Profit. In addition, TS shall provide the foregoing

End Users who subscribed during the last month of any calendar quarter
and became End Users within 35 days after the last day of such month.
AOL has the right to inspect TS's records with respect to the use and
treatment of all subscriber information in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section V.B.4."
6. The second sentence of Section VII.A.5 is amended to substitute a
reference to "solely through AOL or AOL's agents" for the reference to "directly
or indirectly through a third party on its behalf."
7. Section X.B.2. of the Agreement is amended to provide that the
reference to "each of the first two Extension Periods" shall be deleted and
replaced with a reference to "the first Extension Period" and to the extent
required to reflect that there will be only one (1) "Additional Warrant".
8. Section X.C.1.c. of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:
"c. Either AOL or TS may terminate this Agreement by thirty (30)
days prior written notice to the other in the event of an acquisition
of the other party, or all or substantially all of the assets of such
other party, through merger, asset acquisition, stock acquisition or
otherwise, by a competitor of the party giving such notice; provided
that, for purposes of this clause, neither * * * nor * * * (each, an
"Excepted Company") shall be deemed a competitor of AOL if, in
connection with any acquisition of TS by an Excepted Company, such
Excepted Company shall agree with AOL to actively sell or market the
AOL Service on a stand-alone basis, on terms and conditions providing
reasonable compensation and profit to such Excepted Company; provided,
that * * * shall be an "Excepted Company" for purposes of this clause
only in respect of a transaction effected pursuant to the terms and
conditions of a definitive binding agreement subject only to customary
closing conditions (e.g., legal opinions, regulatory and other
approvals and due diligence) that is executed on or before * * * ."
3
9. Section X.D.4. of the Agreement is amended to replace the reference
therein to "June 30, 2000" with a reference to "June 30, 2001".
10. In the event of an acquisition of TS by * * * pursuant to Section
X.C.1.c of the Agreement , then, from and after such acquisition, Sections IV.E.
and X.C.1.d of the Agreement and the second sentence of Section IV.C.10 of the
Agreement shall be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that after
such acquisition all non-OBN traffic shall be carried on the AT&T or * * *
network or a network substantially equivalent to or better than the AT&T or * *
* network, and Sections IV.E., IV.C.10 and X.C.1.d of the Agreement are hereby
amended to reflect such agreement.
C. Amendment of Other Documents.
1. Upon effectiveness of this Amendment, the Warrant to Purchase
Common Stock of Tel-Save Holdings, Inc, dated as of February 22, 1997, No.
W-AOL-1 (the "Base Warrant"), and the Supplemental Warrant shall be amended to
read in their entireties as set forth in Appendices B-1 and B-2, respectively,
to this Amendment.
D. Miscellaneous.
This Amendment does not, and shall not be construed to, modify any
term or condition of the Agreement (including, without limitation, any
payment obligations under the Agreement) other than those specific terms
and conditions expressly referenced in this Amendment. Except as herein
provided, the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and
effect. In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the
Agreement and this Amendment, the terms and conditions set forth in this
Amendment shall control. Neither party shall be bound by, and each party
specifically objects to, any term, condition or other provision that is
different from or in addition to the provisions of this Amendment and the
Agreement (whether or not it would materially alter this Amendment or the
Agreement) and which is proffered by the other party in any correspondence
or other document, unless the party to be bound thereby specifically agrees
to such provision in writing in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same document. This Amendment shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of
conflict of laws thereof.

No. W-AOL-5
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Tel-Save Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(together with its successors and assigns, the "Company") hereby certifies and
agrees that America Online, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AOL" and, in its
capacity as the holder of this Warrant ("this Warrant"), together with its
permitted successors and assigns, the "Holder"), with its principal address at
00000 XXX Xxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000, is entitled, subject to the terms,
conditions and adjustments hereof, to receive, in one or more exercises of this
Warrant, from time to time, from the Company such number of shares of Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") as is
determined under Paragraph 1 hereof, during the period commencing at 9:00 AM,
Eastern Standard Time on the date hereof (the "Commencement Date") and ending at
5:00 PM. Eastern Standard Time on the fifth anniversary of the date hereof (such
time on such date, the "Termination Date") and at such respective times and for
such numbers of Warrant Shares (as defined below) as are set forth in Paragraph
1 at an exercise price per share (the "Exercise Price") of U.S. $22.25. The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the
number of shares vested and the exercise price per share shall be subject to
further adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as
set forth below. This Warrant is one of the "Warrants" referenced in, and issued
in conjunction with, the Telecommunications Marketing Agreement, dated as of
7
February 22, 1997 as subsequently amended as of January 25, 1998 and as of May
14, 1998 (as amended, the "Marketing Agreement"), among the Company, Tel-Save,
Inc. ("TS"), a Pennsylvania corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company and AOL.
The shares of Common Stock or any other shares or other units of stock or
other securities or property or any combination thereof receivable upon exercise
of this Warrant, as adjusted from time to time, are sometimes referred to herein
as the "Exercise Shares."
1. Exercise of Warrant: Issuance of Exercise Shares.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised as to the then
remaining Warrant Shares that have vested as provided herein by the Holder in
whole or in part from time to time on or after the Commencement Date and until
and including the Termination Date as provided below. For purposes of this
Warrant, "Warrant Shares" shall mean 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (subject
to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 6 hereof and to successive reduction upon
any exercise of this Warrant as provided below in this clause (a)), all of which
Warrant Shares are deemed for all purposes hereof to have vested as of the date
hereof.
Following the Termination Date, in the absence of the exercise hereof, the
Holder shall have no rights herein to acquire any Exercise Shares and this
Warrant shall lapse as to such rights. This Warrant may be exercised on any
business day by delivering to the Company at its principal office, presently
located at the address of the Company set forth in Paragraph 9 hereof (or such
other office of the Company as shall theretofore have been designated by the
Company by written notice to the Holder), together with: (i) a completed and
executed irrevocable Notice of Warrant Exercise in the form set forth in
Appendix A hereto and made a part hereof, specifying therein the number of
Warrant Shares (which shall not exceed the number thereof then remaining as to
which this Warrant is then exercisable and as to which no Notice of Warrant
Exercise has previously been given) with respect to which the Holder is then
exercising its rights hereunder, and (ii) subject, as indicated below, to the
consent or election of the Company, within two (2) business days after receipt
by the Company of such Notice of Warrant, delivery to the Company of the full
Exercise Price as follows:
(A) if the Company shall not have elected that such exercise shall be a
"net issuance exercise" as provided in clause (C) of this Paragraph, payment of
the full Exercise Price therefor, in immediately available funds in which case
the Company, pursuant to such Notice of Warrant Exercise from Holder, (duly
completed, and in accordance with Subparagraph 1(c)), shall, upon receipt of
this Warrant and the original executed copy of such Notice of Warrant Exercise
and payment of such Exercise Price, issue, and deliver a certificate evidencing,
such number of Exercise Shares as to which this Warrant shall have been
exercised; or
(B) if the Company shall not have elected that such exercise shall be a
"net issuance exercise" as provided in clause (C) of this Paragraph, through
arrangements with a brokerage firm under which such brokerage firm, on behalf of
the Holder, shall pay the Company the Exercise Price, and the Company pursuant
to an irrevocable notice from the Holder (the form of which shall be
satisfactory to the Company), shall promptly deliver the Exercise Shares being
purchased to such firm; and
8
(C) if the Company shall, upon receipt of a Notice of Warrant Exercise from
the Holder as to Warrant Shares, and in its sole discretion, so elect, the
Company may deliver a certificate evidencing such number of Exercise Shares as
shall equal the quotient of (x) the product of (1) the difference between the
Current Market Price (as defined in Subparagraph 6(e)) on the date of delivery
of such Notice of Warrant Exercise and the then Exercise Price, multiplied by
(2) the number of Warrant Shares specified in such Notice of Warrant Exercise as
to which this Warrant is to be exercised, divided by (y) the Current Market
Price on the date of delivery of such Notice of Warrant Exercise (a "net
issuance exercise"), in which event no payment in cash of the Exercise Price in
respect of the Warrant Shares as to which such "net issuance exercise" applies
need be made.
(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing subparagraphs (A), (B) and (C), in the
event of a Change of Control (as defined below), the Holder, and not the
Company, may elect in its Notice of Warrant Exercise that the exercise shall be
a "net issuance exercise", in which event the Company shall deliver a
certificate evidencing such number of Exercise Shares as shall equal the
quotient of (x) the product of (1) the difference between the Current Market
Price (as defined in Subparagraph 6(e)) on the date of delivery of such Notice
of Warrant Exercise and the then Exercise Price, multiplied by (2) the number of
Warrant Shares specified in such Notice of Warrant Exercise as to which this
Warrant is to be exercised, divided by (y) the Current Market Price on the date
of delivery of such Notice of Warrant Exercise, in which event no payment in
cash of the Exercise Price in respect of the Warrant Shares as to which such
"net issuance exercise" applies need be made. "Change of Control" shall be
deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the following events:
a. During any period of twelve consecutive months, individuals
who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors
of the Company (together with any new or replacement directors whose
election by the Board of Directors or whose nomination for election by
the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least 66-2/3%
of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the
beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election
was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a
majority of the directors then in office;
b. At any time during any period of twelve consecutive months,
any "person" or "group" (each as defined in Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), who
or which was not an "Affiliate" (as defined in the Exchange Act) of
the Company at the beginning of such period, becomes the "beneficial
owner" (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) of
shares representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the
then-outstanding securities entitled to vote in the election of
directors of the Company; or
c. Any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation, or any merger of any other person into the
Company unless the holders of shares of the Company immediately prior
to such transaction are the owners, directly or indirectly,
immediately following such transaction, of at least a majority of the
total voting power of the corporation resulting from such
9
transaction, or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company or Tel-Save, Inc. to any person (other than to one or more
wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company);
provided that "Change of Control" shall in any event include any
transaction respecting TS that is referred to in Section X.C.1.(c) of
the Marketing Agreement.
Upon such exercise pursuant to a Notice of Warrant Exercise and issuance of
such Exercise Shares, the number of Warrant Shares automatically shall be
reduced by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is to be
exercised specified in such Notice of Warrant Exercise.
In the event that this Warrant shall be duly exercised in part prior to the
Termination Date, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of like tenor evidencing
the rights of the Holder thereof with respect to the balance of the Warrant
Shares under the Warrant so surrendered.
No adjustments shall be made for any cash dividends on Exercise Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Issuance of Exercise Shares; Delivery of Warrant Certificates. The
Company at its expense shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within
three (3) business days, after the exercise of this Warrant, issue in the name
of the Holder (or such other person or persons, if any, as specifically
permitted under the terms hereof and as the Holder shall have designated in the
Notice of Warrant Exercise) one or more certificates representing the Exercise
Shares to which the Holder (or such other persons or persons) shall be entitled
upon such exercise under the terms hereof. Such certificate or certificates
shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder (or such other person or
persons so permitted and designated) shall be deemed to have become the record
holder of the Exercise Shares as of the date of the due exercise of this Warrant
(including payment of the Exercise Price therefor).
(c) Exercise Shares Fully Paid and Non-assessable. The Company agrees and
covenants that all Exercise Shares issued or delivered upon the due exercise
(including payment of the Exercise Price therefor) of this Warrant will, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all taxes (other
than those taxes that, pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof, the Company shall not be
obligated to pay), liens, charges and security interests created by or in favor
of the Company with respect to the issuance thereof (other than the limitations
on such Exercise Shares imposed by applicable securities laws and limitations
expressly included in this Warrant).
(d) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractional shares of capital stock upon the exercise of this Warrant or to
deliver certificates that evidence fractional shares of capital stock. In the
event that any fraction of an Exercise Share would, except for the provisions of
this Subparagraph (d), be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the
Company shall pay to the Holder exercising the Warrant an amount in cash equal
to such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Exercise Share.
2. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, original
issue or similar taxes if any, attributable to the issuance of Exercise Shares
upon the exercise of this
10
Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax or taxes that may be payable in respect of any transfer of this Warrant or
any transfer involved in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any
certificates for Exercise Shares in a name other than that of the Holder of this
Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax required to be
withheld or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company
that such tax has been paid.
3. Mutilated or Missing Warrant. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion issue, in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation of, this Warrant, if mutilated, or in
lieu of and in substitution for this Warrant if lost, stolen or destroyed, a new
Warrant of like tenor and in the same aggregate denomination (but reflecting the
number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was then exercisable), but
only (i) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of
this Warrant and, in the case of AOL as the Holder, AOL's indemnity, and, in the
case of any other Person as the holder, indemnity or bond, if requested, in each
case also reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and (ii) in the case of
mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant. The applicant for such substitute
Warrant shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such
other reasonable charges as the Company or its counsel may prescribe.
4. Rights of Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue of anything contained in
this Warrant or otherwise, be entitled to any right whatsoever, either in law or
equity, of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the
right to receive dividends or to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a
shareholder in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of
directors of the Company or any other matter.
5. Notices of Corporate Action. In the event of a proposal by the Company (or of
which the Company shall have knowledge) for:
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of
securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled
to receive any dividend (other than a regular periodic dividend payable in cash)
or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise
acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or
to receive any other right, or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any statutory exchange,
consolidation or merger involving the Company and any other Person or any
transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other
Person, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Company, the Company will deliver to the Holder a notice specifying (i)
the date or expected date on which any such record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of
such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the date or expected date on which
any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, statutory exchange,
consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to
take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the
holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of
Common Stock for the securities or
11
other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, statutory exchange, consolidation, merger, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall with respect to
Subparagraphs (a) and (b) hereof, be furnished at least 20 days prior to the
date therein specified and, with respect to Subparagraph (c) hereof, be
furnished promptly upon the commencement of any event described therein.
6. Adjustment of Exercise Price Warrant Shares and Exercise Shares. The Exercise
Price, the number of Warrant Shares and the kind of Exercise Shares issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the happening of certain events after the date hereof as hereinafter
provided. The Exercise Price in effect at any time, the number of Warrant Shares
and the kind of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) If the Company shall after the date hereof (i) pay a dividend or make a
distribution on its shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii)
subdivide or classify its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record
date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionally adjusted so
that the Holder of this Warrant exercised after such date shall be entitled to
receive the aggregate number and kind of shares that, if this Warrant had been
exercised by such Holder immediately prior to such date, such Holder would have
owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive upon such dividend,
subdivision, combination or reclassification. For example, if the Company
declares a 2-for-1 stock dividend or stock split and the Exercise Price
immediately prior to such event was $5.00 per share, the adjusted Exercise Price
immediately after such event would be $2.50 per share. Such adjustment shall be
made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) In case the Company shall after the date hereof issue rights or
warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at
a price (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market
Price of the Common Stock (as defined in Subparagraph (e) of this Paragraph
below) on the record date mentioned below, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the record date mentioned below and the number of additional
shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of
shares of Common Stock so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the
convertible securities so offered) would purchase at the Current Market Price
per share of the Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date and the
number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or
purchases (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible).
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such rights or warrants are
issued and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; and,
to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered (or securities
convertible into Common Stock are not delivered) after the expiration of such
rights or warrants, the Exercise Price for Warrant Shares as to which no
exercise has been made shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would then
be in effect had
12
the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made upon
the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or
securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered.
(c) If, after the date hereof, there shall be any reclassification, capital
reorganization or change of the Common Stock (other than as a result of a
subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Subparagraphs (a) and
(b) above), or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company
into, another corporation or other business organization (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and
that does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common
Stock), or any sale or conveyance to another corporation or other business
organization of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (referred
to in this Subparagraph (c) as a "Reclassification"), then, as a condition of
such Reclassification, lawful provisions 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 thereafter have the right to
purchase, at a total price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of this
Warrant in full, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable upon such Reclassification by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock that might have been purchased by the Holder immediately
prior to such Reclassification, and in any such case appropriate provisions
shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder to the end
that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for the
adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of shares issuable hereunder)
shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or other
securities and property thereafter deliverable upon exercise hereof.
(d) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant is
adjusted pursuant to Subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, the number of Warrant
Shares that have vested as of such time and the maximum number of Warrant Shares
that may then be issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall each simultaneously be
adjusted by multiplying (x) each such number by (y) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Exercise Price in effect just prior to such adjustment and the
denominator of which is the Exercise Price, as adjusted.
(e) For the purpose of any computation in this Warrant, the Current Market
Price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be deemed to be the average of
the daily closing prices for 10 consecutive business days before such date. The
closing price for each day shall be the last sale price regular way or, in case
no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the last reported
bid and lowest reported asked prices as reported by NASDAQ, or other similar
organizations if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such information, or if not so
available, the fair market price as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.
(f) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least ten cents ($0.10)
in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this
Subparagraph (f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder. All
calculations under this Paragraph 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the
nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Paragraph
6 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not
be required, to make such additional reductions in the Exercise Price, in
addition to those required by this Paragraph 6, as
13
it, in its sole discretion, shall determine to be advisable in order that any
dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock, subdivision,
reclassification or combination of Common Stock, issuance of warrants to
purchase Common Stock or distribution of evidences of indebtedness or other
assets (excluding cash dividends) referred to hereinabove in this Paragraph 6
hereafter made by the Company to the Holders of its Common Stock shall not
result in any tax to the Holders of its Common Stock or securities convertible
into Common Stock.
(g) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company
shall promptly cause a notice, setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and
adjusted number of Warrant Shares as to which a Notice of Warrant Exercise may
be given under this Warrant, to be mailed to the Holders, at their last
addresses appearing in the books of the Company, and shall cause a certified
copy thereof to be mailed to its transfer agent, if any. The Company may retain
a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Board of
Directors (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) to make
any computation required by this Paragraph 6, and a certificate signed by such
firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
(h) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to Subparagraph 6(a) above, the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall
become entitled to receive any Exercise Shares of the Company, other than Common
Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on
terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the
Common Stock contained in Subparagraphs (a) to (f), inclusive, of Paragraph 6
above.
(i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price, the number of
Warrant Shares or kind of Exercise Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued in exchange or substitution
for this Warrant or any part thereof may continue to express the same price and
number and kind of shares as are stated in this Warrant.
(j) Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as required by the
provisions hereof, the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office and with its stock
transfer agent, if any, an officer's certificate showing the adjusted Exercise
Price determined as herein provided and, in the case of an Exercise Price
adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such
adjustment, including a statement of the number of additional shares of Common
Stock, if any, and such other facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for
and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate
shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder and
the Company shall, forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy by
certified mail or such certificate to the Holder.
7. Restrictions on Transferability: Restrictive Legends: Indemnification.
(a) Neither this Warrant nor the right to exercise this Warrant or to
receive Exercise Shares upon any such exercise may be sold, assigned or
transferred by the Holder, except that this Warrant and such rights may be
transferred, upon compliance with the other Subparagraphs
-14-
of this Paragraph 7, by AOL, as the Holder, to (i) any successor to AOL by
reason of a merger, consolidation or statutory exchange of AOL or any successor
to all or substantially all of AOL's assets if such successor assumes in writing
this Warrant and all of AOL's liabilities and obligations under the Marketing
Agreement; or (ii) any subsidiary or affiliate of AOL; provided that AOL owns
voting stock of such subsidiary or affiliate entitling AOL to at least 80% of
the voting power thereof in the election of directors. Any sale, assignment or
transfer of this Warrant in violation of this Paragraph 7 is null and void as of
the time of such transfer.
(b) No Exercise Share may be offered for sale or sold, or otherwise
transferred or sold in any transaction that would constitute a sale thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act, unless (i) such security has been
registered for sale under the Securities Act and registered or qualified under
applicable state securities laws relating to the offer and sale of securities,
or (ii) an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
and the registration or qualifications requirements of all such state securities
laws are available and the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel
(which may be an opinion that covers multiple or all subsequent sales)
satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or other disposition of such
securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, such
counsel and such opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
(c) Except as otherwise permitted by this Paragraph 7, this Warrant and any
Warrant issued upon direct or indirect transfer of or in substitution for this
Warrant or any part thereof shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a
legend substantially in the form of the legend with respect to transfer
limitation and securities acts at the head of this Warrant.
(d) Except as otherwise permitted by this Paragraph 7, each certificate for
an Exercise Share issued upon exercise of this Warrant or any Warrant issued
upon direct or indirect transfer of or in substitution for this Warrant or any
part thereof shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:
The shares represented by this certificate are subject to
restrictions imposed by the federal Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and applicable state securities laws. The shares may not be
sold or transferred in the absence of registration or an exemption
therefrom under such Securities Act of 1933 and such applicable state
securities laws. All shares represented by this Certificate are
subject to the terms and conditions of a Warrantholder and
Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 22, 1997, and a Voting
Trust Agreement, dated as the same date both of which may be examined
at the offices of TelSave Holdings, Inc., New Hope, Pennsylvania.
(e) The Company shall, at the request of any registered holder of an
Exercise Share, exchange the certificate representing such security for a
certificate representing the same security not bearing the restrictive legend
required by Subparagraph 7(d) if the Exercise Shares may be sold or transferred
pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144(k) and, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel to the Company, such restrictive legend is no longer necessary.
-15-
(f) The Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against
any loss, damage, claim or liability arising solely from the disposition of this
Warrant or any Exercise Share held by such Holder or any interest therein in
violation of the provisions of this Subparagraph 7(b).
(g) The Holder of this Warrant is entitled to the benefit of such
registration rights in respect of the Shares of Common Stock issuable to such
Holder upon exercise of the Warrants as are set forth in the Warrantholder and
Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 22, 1997, among the Company,
Tel-Save, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company and the Holder.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Tel-Save Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(together with its successors and assigns, the "Company") hereby certifies and
agrees that America Online, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AOL" and, in its
capacity as the holder of this Warrant ("this Warrant"), together with its
permitted successors and assigns, the "Holder"), with its principal address at
00000 XXX Xxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000, is entitled, subject to the terms,
conditions and adjustments hereof, to receive, in one or more exercises of this
Warrant, from time to time, from the Company such number of shares of Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") as is
determined under Paragraph 1 hereof, during the period commencing at 9:00 AM,
Eastern Standard Time on the date hereof (the "Commencement Date") and ending at
5:00 PM. Eastern Standard Time on the fifth anniversary of the date hereof (such
time on such date, the "Termination Date") and at such respective times and for
such numbers of Warrant Shares (as defined below) as are set forth in Paragraph
1 at an exercise price per share (the "Exercise Price") of U.S. $15.50. The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the
number of shares vested and the exercise price per share shall be subject to
further adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as
set forth below. This Warrant is one of the "Warrants" referenced in, and issued
in conjunction with, the Telecommunications Marketing Agreement, dated as of
-21-
February 22, 1997 as subsequently amended as of January 25, 1998 and as of May
14, 1998 (as amended, the "Marketing Agreement"), among the Company, Tel-Save,
Inc. ("TS"), a Pennsylvania corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company and AOL.
The shares of Common Stock or any other shares or other units of stock
or other securities or property or any combination thereof receivable upon
exercise of this Warrant, as adjusted from time to time, are sometimes referred
to herein as the "Exercise Shares."
1. Exercise of Warrant: Issuance of Exercise Shares.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised as to the then
remaining Warrant Shares that have vested as provided herein by the Holder in
whole or in part from time to time on or after the Commencement Date and until
and including the Termination Date as provided below. For purposes of this
Warrant, "Warrant Shares" shall mean 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock (subject
to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 6 hereof and to successive reduction upon
any exercise of this Warrant as provided below in this clause (a)), all of which
Warrant Shares are deemed for all purposes hereof to have vested as of the date
hereof.
Following the Termination Date, in the absence of the exercise hereof, the
Holder shall have no rights herein to acquire any Exercise Shares and this
Warrant shall lapse as to such rights. This Warrant may be exercised on any
business day by delivering to the Company at its principal office, presently
located at the address of the Company set forth in Paragraph 9 hereof (or such
other office of the Company as shall theretofore have been designated by the
Company by written notice to the Holder), together with: (i) a completed and
executed irrevocable Notice of Warrant Exercise in the form set forth in
Appendix A hereto and made a part hereof, specifying therein the number of
Warrant Shares (which shall not exceed the number thereof then remaining as to
which this Warrant is then exercisable and as to which no Notice of Warrant
Exercise has previously been given) with respect to which the Holder is then
exercising its rights hereunder, and (ii) subject, as indicated below, to the
consent or election of the Company, within two (2) business days after receipt
by the Company of such Notice of Warrant, delivery to the Company of the full
Exercise Price as follows:
(A) if the Company shall not have elected that such exercise shall be a
"net issuance exercise" as provided in clause (C) of this Paragraph, payment of
the full Exercise Price therefor, in immediately available funds in which case
the Company, pursuant to such Notice of Warrant Exercise from Holder, (duly
completed, and in accordance with Subparagraph 1(c)), shall, upon receipt of
this Warrant and the original executed copy of such Notice of Warrant Exercise
and payment of such Exercise Price, issue, and deliver a certificate evidencing,
such number of Exercise Shares as to which this Warrant shall have been
exercised; or
(B) if the Company shall not have elected that such exercise shall be a
"net issuance exercise" as provided in clause (C) of this Paragraph, through
arrangements with a brokerage firm under which such brokerage firm, on behalf of
the Holder, shall pay the Company the Exercise Price, and the Company pursuant
to an irrevocable notice from the Holder (the form of which shall be
satisfactory to the Company), shall promptly deliver the Exercise Shares being
purchased to such firm; and
22
(C) if the Company shall, upon receipt of a Notice of Warrant Exercise from
the Holder as to Warrant Shares, and in its sole discretion, so elect, the
Company may deliver a certificate evidencing such number of Exercise Shares as
shall equal the quotient of (x) the product of (1) the difference between the
Current Market Price (as defined in Subparagraph 6(e)) on the date of delivery
of such Notice of Warrant Exercise and the then Exercise Price, multiplied by
(2) the number of Warrant Shares specified in such Notice of Warrant Exercise as
to which this Warrant is to be exercised, divided by (y) the Current Market
Price on the date of delivery of such Notice of Warrant Exercise (a "net
issuance exercise"), in which event no payment in cash of the Exercise Price in
respect of the Warrant Shares as to which such "net issuance exercise" applies
need be made.
(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing subparagraphs (A), (B) and (C), in the
event of a Change of Control (as defined below), the Holder, and not the
Company, may elect in its Notice of Warrant Exercise that the exercise shall be
a "net issuance exercise", in which event the Company shall deliver a
certificate evidencing such number of Exercise Shares as shall equal the
quotient of (x) the product of (1) the difference between the Current Market
Price (as defined in Subparagraph 6(e)) on the date of delivery of such Notice
of Warrant Exercise and the then Exercise Price, multiplied by (2) the number of
Warrant Shares specified in such Notice of Warrant Exercise as to which this
Warrant is to be exercised, divided by (y) the Current Market Price on the date
of delivery of such Notice of Warrant Exercise, in which event no payment in
cash of the Exercise Price in respect of the Warrant Shares as to which such
"net issuance exercise" applies need be made. "Change of Control" shall be
deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the following events:
a. During any period of twelve consecutive months, individuals who
at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors of
the Company (together with any new or replacement directors whose
election by the Board of Directors or whose nomination for election by
the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least 66-2/3%
of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the
beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election
was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a
majority of the directors then in office;
b. At any time during any period of twelve consecutive months, any
"person" or "group" (each as defined in Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), who
or which was not an "Affiliate" (as defined in the Exchange Act) of
the Company at the beginning of such period, becomes the "beneficial
owner" (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) of
shares representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the
then-outstanding securities entitled to vote in the election of
directors of the Company; or
c. Any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation, or any merger of any other person into the Company unless
the holders of shares of the Company immediately prior to such
transaction are the owners, directly or indirectly, immediately
following such transaction, of at least
23
a majority of the total voting power of the corporation resulting from
such transaction, or any sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company or Tel-Save, Inc. to any person (other than to
one or more wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company);
provided that "Change of Control" shall in any event include any
transaction respecting TS that is referred to in Section X.C.1.(c) of the
Marketing Agreement.
Upon such exercise pursuant to a Notice of Warrant Exercise and issuance of
such Exercise Shares, the number of Warrant Shares automatically shall be
reduced by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is to be
exercised specified in such Notice of Warrant Exercise.
In the event that this Warrant shall be duly exercised in part prior to the
Termination Date, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of like tenor evidencing
the rights of the Holder thereof with respect to the balance of the Warrant
Shares under the Warrant so surrendered.
No adjustments shall be made for any cash dividends on Exercise Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Issuance of Exercise Shares; Delivery of Warrant Certificates. The
Company at its expense shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within
three (3) business days, after the exercise of this Warrant, issue in the name
of the Holder (or such other person or persons, if any, as specifically
permitted under the terms hereof and as the Holder shall have designated in the
Notice of Warrant Exercise) one or more certificates representing the Exercise
Shares to which the Holder (or such other persons or persons) shall be entitled
upon such exercise under the terms hereof. Such certificate or certificates
shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder (or such other person or
persons so permitted and designated) shall be deemed to have become the record
holder of the Exercise Shares as of the date of the due exercise of this Warrant
(including payment of the Exercise Price therefor).
(c) Exercise Shares Fully Paid and Non-assessable. The Company agrees and
covenants that all Exercise Shares issued or delivered upon the due exercise
(including payment of the Exercise Price therefor) of this Warrant will, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all taxes (other
than those taxes that, pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof, the Company shall not be
obligated to pay), liens, charges and security interests created by or in favor
of the Company with respect to the issuance thereof (other than the limitations
on such Exercise Shares imposed by applicable securities laws and limitations
expressly included in this Warrant).
(d) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractional shares of capital stock upon the exercise of this Warrant or to
deliver certificates that evidence fractional shares of capital stock. In the
event that any fraction of an Exercise Share would, except for the provisions of
this Subparagraph (d), be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the
Company shall pay to the Holder exercising the Warrant an amount in cash equal
to such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Exercise Share.
2. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes,
original issue or similar taxes if any, attributable to the issuance of Exercise
Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes that may be payable in respect of
any transfer of this Warrant or any transfer involved in the issue of any
Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Exercise Shares in a name other
than that of the Holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be required
to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of
such tax required to be withheld or shall have established to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
3. Mutilated or Missing Warrant. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion issue, in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation of, this Warrant, if mutilated, or in
lieu of and in substitution for this Warrant if lost, stolen or destroyed, a new
Warrant of like tenor and in the same aggregate denomination (but reflecting the
number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was then exercisable), but
only (i) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of
this Warrant and, in the case of AOL as the Holder, AOL's indemnity, and, in the
case of any other Person as the holder, indemnity or bond, if requested, in each
case also reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and (ii) in the case of
mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant. The applicant for such substitute
Warrant shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such
other reasonable charges as the Company or its counsel may prescribe.
4. Rights of Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue of anything contained in
this Warrant or otherwise, be entitled to any right whatsoever, either in law or
equity, of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the
right to receive dividends or to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a
shareholder in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of
directors of the Company or any other matter.
5. Notices of Corporate Action. In the event of a proposal by the Company (or
of which the Company shall have knowledge) for:
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of
securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled
to receive any dividend (other than a regular periodic dividend payable in cash)
or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise
acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or
to receive any other right, or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any statutory exchange,
consolidation or merger involving the Company and any other Person or any
transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other
Person, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Company, the Company will deliver to the Holder a notice specifying (i)
the date or expected date on which any such record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of
such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the date or expected date on which
any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, statutory exchange,
consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to
25
take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the
holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of
Common Stock for the securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, statutory exchange,
consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such
notice shall with respect to Subparagraphs (a) and (b) hereof, be furnished at
least 20 days prior to the date therein specified and, with respect to
Subparagraph (c) hereof, be furnished promptly upon the commencement of any
event described therein.
6. Adjustment of Exercise Price Warrant Shares and Exercise Shares. The
Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares and the kind of Exercise Shares
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time upon the happening of certain events after the date hereof as
hereinafter provided. The Exercise Price in effect at any time, the number of
Warrant Shares and the kind of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) If the Company shall after the date hereof (i) pay a dividend or make a
distribution on its shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii)
subdivide or classify its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record
date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionally adjusted so
that the Holder of this Warrant exercised after such date shall be entitled to
receive the aggregate number and kind of shares that, if this Warrant had been
exercised by such Holder immediately prior to such date, such Holder would have
owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive upon such dividend,
subdivision, combination or reclassification. For example, if the Company
declares a 2-for-1 stock dividend or stock split and the Exercise Price
immediately prior to such event was $5.00 per share, the adjusted Exercise Price
immediately after such event would be $2.50 per share. Such adjustment shall be
made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) In case the Company shall after the date hereof issue rights or
warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at
a price (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market
Price of the Common Stock (as defined in Subparagraph (e) of this Paragraph
below) on the record date mentioned below, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the record date mentioned below and the number of additional
shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of
shares of Common Stock so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the
convertible securities so offered) would purchase at the Current Market Price
per share of the Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date and the
number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or
purchases (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible).
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such rights or warrants are
issued and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; and,
to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered (or securities
convertible into Common Stock are not delivered) after the
26
expiration of such rights or warrants, the Exercise Price for Warrant Shares as
to which no exercise has been made shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price
that would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such
rights or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of
shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually
delivered.
(c) If, after the date hereof, there shall be any reclassification, capital
reorganization or change of the Common Stock (other than as a result of a
subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Subparagraphs (a) and
(b) above), or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company
into, another corporation or other business organization (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and
that does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common
Stock), or any sale or conveyance to another corporation or other business
organization of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (referred
to in this Subparagraph (c) as a "Reclassification"), then, as a condition of
such Reclassification, lawful provisions 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 thereafter have the right to
purchase, at a total price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of this
Warrant in full, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable upon such Reclassification by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock that might have been purchased by the Holder immediately
prior to such Reclassification, and in any such case appropriate provisions
shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder to the end
that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for the
adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of shares issuable hereunder)
shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or other
securities and property thereafter deliverable upon exercise hereof.
(d) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant is
adjusted pursuant to Subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, the number of Warrant
Shares that have vested as of such time and the maximum number of Warrant Shares
that may then be issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall each simultaneously be
adjusted by multiplying (x) each such number by (y) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Exercise Price in effect just prior to such adjustment and the
denominator of which is the Exercise Price, as adjusted.
(e) For the purpose of any computation in this Warrant, the Current Market
Price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be deemed to be the average of
the daily closing prices for 10 consecutive business days before such date. The
closing price for each day shall be the last sale price regular way or, in case
no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the last reported
bid and lowest reported asked prices as reported by NASDAQ, or other similar
organizations if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such information, or if not so
available, the fair market price as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.
(f) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least ten cents ($0.10)
in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this
Subparagraph (f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder. All
calculations under this Paragraph 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the
nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Paragraph
6 to the
27
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be
required, to make such additional reductions in the Exercise Price, in addition
to those required by this Paragraph 6, as it, in its sole discretion, shall
determine to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in shares
of Common Stock, subdivision, reclassification or combination of Common Stock,
issuance of warrants to purchase Common Stock or distribution of evidences of
indebtedness or other assets (excluding cash dividends) referred to hereinabove
in this Paragraph 6 hereafter made by the Company to the Holders of its Common
Stock shall not result in any tax to the Holders of its Common Stock or
securities convertible into Common Stock.
(g) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company
shall promptly cause a notice, setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and
adjusted number of Warrant Shares as to which a Notice of Warrant Exercise may
be given under this Warrant, to be mailed to the Holders, at their last
addresses appearing in the books of the Company, and shall cause a certified
copy thereof to be mailed to its transfer agent, if any. The Company may retain
a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Board of
Directors (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) to make
any computation required by this Paragraph 6, and a certificate signed by such
firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
(h) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to Subparagraph 6(a) above, the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall
become entitled to receive any Exercise Shares of the Company, other than Common
Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on
terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the
Common Stock contained in Subparagraphs (a) to (f), inclusive, of Paragraph 6
above.
(i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price, the number of
Warrant Shares or kind of Exercise Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued in exchange or substitution
for this Warrant or any part thereof may continue to express the same price and
number and kind of shares as are stated in this Warrant.
(j) Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as required by the
provisions hereof, the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office and with its stock
transfer agent, if any, an officer's certificate showing the adjusted Exercise
Price determined as herein provided and, in the case of an Exercise Price
adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such
adjustment, including a statement of the number of additional shares of Common
Stock, if any, and such other facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for
and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate
shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder and
the Company shall, forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy by
certified mail or such certificate to the Holder.

7. Restrictions on Transferability: Restrictive Legends: Indemnification.
(a) Neither this Warrant nor the right to exercise this Warrant or to
receive Exercise Shares upon any such exercise may be sold, assigned or
transferred by the Holder, except that this Warrant and such rights may be
transferred, upon compliance with the other Subparagraphs of this Paragraph 7,
by AOL, as the Holder, to (i) any successor to AOL by reason of a merger,
consolidation or statutory exchange of AOL or any successor to all or
substantially all of AOL's assets if such successor assumes in writing this
Warrant and all of AOL's liabilities and obligations under the Marketing
Agreement; or (ii) any subsidiary or affiliate of AOL; provided that AOL owns
voting stock of such subsidiary or affiliate entitling AOL to at least 80% of
the voting power thereof in the election of directors. Any sale, assignment or
transfer of this Warrant in violation of this Paragraph 7 is null and void as of
the time of such transfer.
(b) No Exercise Share may be offered for sale or sold, or otherwise
transferred or sold in any transaction that would constitute a sale thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act, unless (i) such security has been
registered for sale under the Securities Act and registered or qualified under
applicable state securities laws relating to the offer and sale of securities,
or (ii) an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
and the registration or qualifications requirements of all such state securities
laws are available and the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel
(which may be an opinion that covers multiple or all subsequent sales)
satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or other disposition of such
securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, such
counsel and such opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
(c) Except as otherwise permitted by this Paragraph 7, this Warrant and any
Warrant issued upon direct or indirect transfer of or in substitution for this
Warrant or any part thereof shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a
legend substantially in the form of the legend with respect to transfer
limitation and securities acts at the head of this Warrant.
(d) Except as otherwise permitted by this Paragraph 7, each certificate for
an Exercise Share issued upon exercise of this Warrant or any Warrant issued
upon direct or indirect transfer of or in substitution for this Warrant or any
part thereof shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:
The shares represented by this certificate are subject to
restrictions imposed by the federal Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and applicable state securities laws. The shares may not be
sold or transferred in the absence of registration or an exemption
therefrom under such Securities Act of 1933 and such applicable state
securities laws. All shares represented by this Certificate are
subject to the terms and conditions of a Warrantholder and
Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 22, 1997, and a Voting
Trust Agreement, dated as the same date both of which may be examined
at the offices of TelSave Holdings, Inc., New Hope, Pennsylvania.
(e) The Company shall, at the request of any registered holder of an
Exercise Share, exchange the certificate representing such security for a
certificate representing the same security
29
not bearing the restrictive legend required by Subparagraph 7(d) if the Exercise
Shares may be sold or transferred pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144(k) and,
in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company, such restrictive legend is
no longer necessary.
(f) The Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against
any loss, damage, claim or liability arising solely from the disposition of this
Warrant or any Exercise Share held by such Holder or any interest therein in
violation of the provisions of this Subparagraph 7(b).
(g) The Holder of this Warrant is entitled to the benefit of such
registration rights in respect of the Shares of Common Stock issuable to such
Holder upon exercise of the Warrants as are set forth in the Warrantholder and
Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 22, 1997, among the Company,
Tel-Save, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company and the Holder.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Tel-Save Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(together with its successors and assigns, the "Company") hereby certifies and
agrees that America Online, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AOL" and, in its
capacity as the holder of this Warrant ("this Warrant"), together with its

00000 XXX Xxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000, is entitled, subject to the terms,
conditions and adjustments hereof, to receive, in one or more exercises of this
Warrant, from time to time, from the Company such number of shares of Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") as is
determined under Paragraph 1 hereof, during the period commencing at 9:00 AM,
Eastern Standard Time on the date hereof (the "Commencement Date") and ending at

such numbers of Warrant Shares (as defined below) as are set forth in Paragraph

number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the

further adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as

in conjunction with, the Telecommunications Marketing Agreement, dated as of
February 22, 1997,
35
as subsequently amended as of January 25, 1998 and as of May 14, 1998 (as so
amended, the "Marketing Agreement"), among the Company, Tel-Save, Inc., a
Pennsylvania corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("TS"), and
AOL.
The shares of Common Stock or any other shares or other units of stock
or other securities or property or any combination thereof receivable upon
exercise of this Warrant, as adjusted from time to time, are sometimes referred
to herein as the "Exercise Shares."
Anything else herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the "Effective
Date" (as such term is defined in the Marketing Agreement) shall not have
occurred by March 6, 1997, this Warrant automatically shall expire and shall be
of no further force or effect.
1. Exercise of Warrant; Issuance of Exercise Shares.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised as to the then
remaining Warrant Shares that have vested as provided herein by the Holder in
whole at any time or in part from time to time on or after the Commencement Date
and until and including the Termination Date as provided below. For purposes of
this Warrant, "Warrant Shares" shall mean at any time such number of shares of
Common Stock as shall have vested as of such time as follows:
(i) such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal the product
of the Vesting Multiplier (as defined below) times the number (the "First
Quarter Number") of (x) End Users (as such term is defined in the Marketing
Agreement) for whom TS is providing Services, and (y) End Users as such
term is defined in a certain Telecommunications Marketing Agreement, dated
as of February 6, 1997, as amended, among the Company, TS, and CompuServe
Interactive Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 1997
(the "First Vesting Date"), shall vest and shall be Warrant Shares
hereunder as of such First Vesting Date;
(ii) such number of additional shares of Common Stock as shall equal
the product of the Vesting Multiplier times the amount by which (x) the
number of End Users (each, a "Subsequent Quarter Number") for whom TS is
providing Services as of the last day of each full calendar quarter (each,
a "Subsequent Vesting Date") after the First Vesting Date and on or before
the earlier of (x) the last day of the Term (as defined in the Marketing
Agreement) or any Extension Period (as defined in the Marketing Agreement)
and (y) the last day of the full calendar quarter in which the Marketing
Agreement is terminated prior to the end of such Term or Extension Period,
exceeds (y) the greater of the First Quarter Number and any prior
Subsequent Quarter Number, shall vest and shall be Warrant Shares hereunder
as of such Subsequent Vesting Date; and
(iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, all shares of Common Stock shall
vest and shall be Warrant Shares as of and upon a "Change of Control", as
defined below;
provided that, in no event will the aggregate number of Warrant Shares
exceed 7,000,000, subject to further adjustment as provided in Paragraph 6
hereof and to successive reduction upon any exercise of this Warrant as
provided below in this clause (a). For purposes hereof, the "Vesting
Multiplier" shall be two (2), provided that, from
36
and after the "Multiplier Adjustment Date" (as defined in the Marketing
Agreement), the Vesting Multiplier as in effect as of such Date shall be
doubled for purposes of subsequent vestings. "Change of Control" shall be
deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the following events:
a. During any period of twelve consecutive months,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted
the Board of Directors of the Company (together with any new
or replacement directors whose election by the Board of
Directors or whose nomination for election by the Company's
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least 66-2/3% of the
directors then still in office who were either directors at
the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination
for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason
to constitute a majority of the directors then in office;
b. At any time during any period of twelve
consecutive months, any "person" or "group" (each as defined
in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act")), who or which was not an
"Affiliate" (as defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company at
the beginning of such period, becomes the "beneficial owner"
(as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act)
of shares representing more than 50% of the combined voting
power of the then-outstanding securities entitled to vote in
the election of directors of the Company; or
c. Any merger or consolidation of the Company with or
into another corporation, or any merger of any other person
into the Company unless the holders of shares of the Company
immediately prior to such transaction are the owners, directly
or indirectly, immediately following such transaction, of at
least a majority of the total voting power of the corporation
resulting from such transaction, or any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or Tel-Save,
Inc. to any person (other than to one or more wholly owned
subsidiaries of the Company);
provided that "Change of Control" shall in any event include any transaction
respecting TS that is referred to in Section X.C.1.(c) of the Marketing
Agreement.
Following the Termination Date, in the absence of the exercise hereof, the
Holder shall have no rights herein to acquire any Exercise Shares and this
Warrant shall lapse as to such rights. This Warrant may be exercised on any
business day by delivering to the Company at its principal office, presently
located at the address of the Company set forth in Paragraph 9 hereof (or such
other office of the Company as shall theretofore have been designated by the
Company by written notice to the Holder), together with: (1) a completed and
executed irrevocable Notice of Warrant Exercise in the form set forth in
Appendix A hereto and made a part hereof, specifying therein the number of
Warrant Shares (which shall not exceed the number thereof then remaining as to
which this Warrant is then exercisable and as to which no Notice of Warrant
Exercise has previously been given) with respect to which the Holder is then
exercising its rights hereunder, and (2), subject, as indicated below, to the
consent or election of the Company, within
37
two (2) business days after receipt by the Company of such Notice of Warrant,
delivery to the Company of the full Exercise Price as follows:
(A) if the Company shall not have elected that such exercise shall be a
"net issuance exercise" as provided in clause (C) of this Paragraph, payment of
the full Exercise Price therefor, in immediately available funds, in which case
the Company, pursuant to such Notice of Warrant Exercise from Holder, duly
completed, and in accordance with Subparagraph 1(c) hereof, shall, upon receipt
of this Warrant and the original executed copy of such Notice of Warrant
Exercise and payment of such Exercise Price, issue, and deliver a certificate
evidencing, such number of Exercise Shares as to which this Warrant shall have
been exercised;
(B) if the Company shall not have elected that such exercise shall be a
"net issuance exercise" as provided in clause (C) of this Paragraph,
arrangements with a brokerage firm under which such brokerage firm, on behalf of
the Holder, shall pay the Company the Exercise Price, and the Company pursuant
to an irrevocable notice from the Holder (the form of which is satisfactory to
the Company), shall, upon receipt of this Warrant, such irrevocable notice and
payment of such Exercise Price, promptly deliver the Exercise Shares being
purchased to such firm; and
(C) if the Company shall, upon receipt of a Notice of Warrant Exercise from
the Holder as to Warrant Shares, and in its sole discretion, so elect, the
Company may deliver a certificate evidencing such number of Exercise Shares as
shall equal the quotient of (x) the product of (1) the difference between the
Current Market Price (as defined in Subparagraph 6(e) hereof) on the date of
delivery of such Notice of Warrant Exercise and the then Exercise Price,
multiplied by (2) the number of Warrant Shares specified in such Notice of
Warrant Exercise as to which this Warrant is to be exercised, divided by (y) the
Current Market Price on the date of delivery of such Notice of Warrant Exercise
(a "net issuance exercise"), in which event no payment in cash of the Exercise
Price in respect of the Warrant Shares as to which such "net issuance exercise"
applies need be made.
(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing subparagraphs (A), (B) and (C), in the
event of a Change of Control (as defined above), the Holder, and not the
Company, may elect in its Notice of Warrant Exercise that the exercise shall be
a "net issuance exercise", in which event the Company shall deliver a
certificate evidencing such number of Exercise Shares as shall equal the
quotient of (x) the product of (1) the difference between the Current Market
Price (as defined in Subparagraph 6(e)) on the date of delivery of such Notice
of Warrant Exercise and the then Exercise Price, multiplied by (2) the number of
Warrant Shares specified in such Notice of Warrant Exercise as to which this
Warrant is to be exercised, divided by (y) the Current Market Price on the date
of delivery of such Notice of Warrant Exercise, in which event no payment in
cash of the Exercise Price in respect of the Warrant Shares as to which such
"net issuance exercise" applies need be made.
Upon such exercise pursuant to a Notice of Warrant Exercise and issuance of
such Exercise Shares, the number of Warrant Shares automatically shall be
reduced by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is to be
exercised specified in such Notice of Warrant Exercise.
38
In the event that this Warrant shall be duly exercised in part prior to the
Termination Date, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of like tenor evidencing
the rights of the Holder thereof with respect to the balance of the Warrant
Shares under the Warrant so surrendered.
No adjustments shall be made for any cash dividends on Exercise Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Issuance of Exercise Shares; Delivery of Warrant Certificates. The
Company shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within three (3) business
days after the exercise of this Warrant, issue in the name of the Holder (or
such other person or persons, if any, as specifically permitted under the terms
hereof and as the Holder shall have designated in the Notice of Warrant
Exercise) one or more certificates representing the Exercise Shares to which the
Holder (or such other person or persons) shall be entitled upon such exercise
under the terms hereof. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have
been issued and the Holder (or such other person or persons so permitted and
designated) shall be deemed to have become the record holder of the Exercise
Shares as of the date of the due exercise of this Warrant (including payment of
the Exercise Price therefor).
(c) Exercise Shares Fully Paid and Non-assessable. The Company agrees and
covenants that all Exercise Shares issued or delivered upon the due exercise
(including payment of the Exercise Price therefor) of this Warrant will, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all taxes (other
than those taxes that, pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof, the Company shall not be
obligated to pay), liens, charges and security interests created by or in favor
of the Company with respect to the issuance thereof (other than the limitations
on such Exercise Shares imposed by applicable securities laws and limitations
expressly included in this Warrant).
(d) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractional shares of capital stock upon the exercise of this Warrant or to
deliver certificates that evidence fractional shares of capital stock. In the
event that any fraction of an Exercise Share would, except for the provisions of
this Subparagraph (d), be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the
Company shall pay to the Holder exercising the Warrant an amount in cash equal
to such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Exercise Share.
2. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes and
original issue or similar taxes, if any, attributable to the issuance of
Exercise Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes that may be payable in
respect of any transfer of this Warrant or any transfer involved in the issue of
any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Exercise Shares in a name other
than that of the Holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be required
to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of
such tax required to be withheld or shall have established to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
3. Mutilated or Missing Warrant. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion issue, in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation of, this Warrant, if mutilated, or in
lieu of and in substitution for this Warrant if lost,
39
stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and in the same aggregate
denomination (but reflecting the number of Warrant Shares as to which this
Warrant was then exercisable), but only (i) in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant and, in the case of AOL as the
Holder, AOL's indemnity, and, in the case of any other Person as the holder,
indemnity or bond, if requested, in each case also reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, and (ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant.
The applicant for such substitute Warrant shall also comply with such other
reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company or
its counsel may prescribe.
4. Rights of Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue of anything contained in
this Warrant or otherwise, be entitled to any right whatsoever, either in law or
equity, of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the
right to receive dividends or to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a
shareholder in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of
directors of the Company or any other matter.
5. Notices of Corporate Action. In the event of a proposal by the Company (or
of which the Company shall have knowledge) for: (a) any taking by the Company of
a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of
determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other
than a regular periodic dividend payable in cash) or other distribution, or any
right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any statutory exchange,
consolidation or merger involving the Company and any other Person or any
transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other
Person, or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of
the Company,
the Company will deliver to the Holder a notice specifying (i) the date or
expected date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right, or (ii) the date or expected date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, statutory exchange,
consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to
take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the
holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of
Common Stock for the securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, statutory exchange,
consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such
notice shall with respect to Subparagraphs (a) and (b) hereof, be furnished at
least 20 days prior to the date therein specified and, with respect to
Subparagraph (c) hereof, be furnished promptly upon the commencement of any
event described therein.
40
6. Adjustment of Exercise Price, Warrant Shares and Exercise Shares. The
Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares, the Vesting Multiplier and the
kind of Exercise Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events
after the date hereof as hereinafter provided. The Exercise Price in effect at
any time, the number of Warrant Shares and the kind of securities issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) If the Company shall after the date hereof (i) pay a dividend or make a
distribution on its shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii)
subdivide or classify its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record
date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionally adjusted so
that the Holder of this Warrant exercised after such date shall be entitled to
receive the aggregate number and kind of shares that, if this Warrant had been
exercised by such Holder immediately prior to such date, such Holder would have
owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive upon such dividend,
subdivision, combination or reclassification. For example, if the Company
declares a 2-for-1 stock dividend or stock split and the Exercise Price
immediately prior to such event was $5.00 per share, the adjusted Exercise Price
immediately after such event would be $2.50 per share. Such adjustment shall be
made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) In case the Company shall after the date hereof issue rights or
warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at
a price (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market
Price of the Common Stock (as defined in Subparagraph (e) of this Paragraph
below) on the record date mentioned below, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the record date mentioned below and the number of additional
shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of
shares of Common Stock so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the
convertible securities so offered) would purchase at the Current Market Price
per share of the Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date and the
number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or
purchases (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible).
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such rights or warrants are
issued and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; and,
to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered (or securities
convertible into Common Stock are not delivered) after the expiration of such
rights or warrants, the Exercise Price for Warrant Shares as to which no
exercise has been made shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would then
be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights or
warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of
Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered.
(c) If, after the date hereof, there shall be any reclassification, capital
reorganization or change of the Common Stock (other than as a result of a
subdivision, combination or stock
41
dividend provided for in Subparagraph (a) and (b) above), or any consolidation
of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation or other
business organization (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification
or change of the outstanding Common Stock), or any sale or conveyance to another
corporation or other business organization of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company (referred to in this Subparagraph (c) as a
"Reclassification"), then, as a condition of such Reclassification, lawful
provisions 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 thereafter have the right to purchase, at a total price not to
exceed that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full, the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
Reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that might
have been purchased by the Holder immediately prior to such Reclassification,
and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the
rights and interest of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof
(including, without limitation, provisions for the adjustment of the Exercise
Price and the number of shares issuable hereunder) shall thereafter be
applicable in relation to any shares of stock or other securities and property
thereafter deliverable upon exercise hereof.
(d) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant is
adjusted pursuant to Subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, the number of Warrant
Shares that have vested as of such time, the maximum number of Warrant Shares
that may then be issuable pursuant to this Warrant and the then Vesting
Multiplier applicable to the calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock
that will vest after the date of such adjustment shall each simultaneously be
adjusted by multiplying (x) each such number and the Vesting Multiplier by (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Exercise Price in effect just prior to
such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Exercise Price, as adjusted.
(e) For the purpose of any computation in this Warrant, the Current Market
Price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be deemed to be the average of
the daily closing prices for 10 consecutive business days before such date. The
closing price for each day shall be the last sale price regular way or, in case
no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the last reported
bid and lowest reported asked prices as reported by NASDAQ, or other similar
organizations if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such information, or if not so
available, the fair market price as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.
(f) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least ten cents ($0.10)
in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this
Subparagraph (f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder. All
calculations under this Paragraph 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the
nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Paragraph
6 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not
be required, to make such additional reductions in the Exercise Price, in
addition to those required by this Paragraph 6, as it, in its sole discretion,
shall determine to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in
shares of Common Stock, subdivision, reclassification or combination of Common
Stock, issuance of warrants to purchase Common Stock or distribution of
evidences of indebtedness or other assets (excluding cash dividends) referred to
hereinabove in this Paragraph 6 hereafter
42
made by the Company to the Holders of its Common Stock shall not result in any
tax to the Holders of its Common Stock or securities convertible into Common
Stock.
(g) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company
shall promptly cause a notice, setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and
adjusted number of Warrant Shares as to which a Notice of Warrant Exercise may
be given under this Warrant, to be mailed to the Holders, at their last
addresses appearing in the books of the Company, and shall cause a certified
copy thereof to be mailed to its transfer agent, if any. The Company may retain
a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Board of
Directors (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) to make
any computation required by this Paragraph 6, and a certificate signed by such
firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
(h) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to Subparagraph 6(a) above, the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall
become entitled to receive any Exercise Shares of the Company, other than Common
Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on
terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the
Common Stock contained in Subparagraphs (a) to (e), inclusive, of Paragraph 6
above.
(i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price, the number of
Warrant Shares or kind of Exercise Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued in exchange or substitution
for this Warrant or any part thereof may continue to express the same price and
number and kind of shares as are stated in this Warrant.
(j) Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as required by the
provisions hereof, the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office and with its stock
transfer agent, if any, an officer's certificate showing the adjusted Exercise
Price determined as herein provided and, in the case of an Exercise Price
adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such
adjustment, including a statement of the number of additional shares of Common
Stock, if any, and such other facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for
and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate
shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder and
the Company shall, forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy by
certified mail or such certificate to the Holder.
7. Restrictions on Transferability; Restrictive Legends; Indemnification
(a) Neither this Warrant nor the right to exercise this Warrant or to
receive Exercise Shares upon any such exercise may be sold, assigned or
transferred by the Holder, except that this Warrant and such rights may be
transferred, upon compliance with the other Subparagraphs of this Paragraph 7,
by AOL, as the Holder, to (i) any successor to AOL by reason of a merger,
consolidation or statutory exchange of AOL or any successor to all or
substantially all of AOL's assets if such successor assumes in writing this
Warrant and all of AOL's liabilities and obligations under the Marketing
Agreement (ii) to any subsidiary or affiliate of AOL; provided
43
that AOL owns voting stock of such subsidiary or affiliate entitling AOL to at
least 80% of the voting powers thereof at the election of directors. Any sale,
assignment or transfer of this Warrant in violation of this Paragraph 7 is null
and void as of the time of such transfer.
(b) No Exercise Share may be offered for sale or sold, or otherwise
transferred or sold in any transaction that would constitute a sale thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act, unless (i) such security has been
registered for sale under the Securities Act and registered or qualified under
applicable state securities laws relating to the offer and sale of securities,
or (ii) an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
and the registration or qualifications requirements of all such state securities
laws are available and the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel
(which may be an opinion that covers multiple or all subsequent sales)
satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or other disposition of such
securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, such
counsel and such opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
(c) Except as otherwise permitted by this Paragraph 7, this Warrant and any
Warrant issued upon direct or indirect transfer of or in substitution for this
Warrant or any part thereof shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a
legend substantially in the form of the legend with respect to transfer
limitation and securities acts at the head of this Warrant.
(d) Except as otherwise permitted by this Paragraph 7, each certificate for
an Exercise Share issued upon exercise of this Warrant or any Warrant issued
upon direct or indirect transfer of or in substitution for this Warrant or any
part thereof shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:
The shares represented by this certificate are subject to
restrictions imposed by the federal Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and applicable state securities laws. The shares may not be
sold or transferred in the absence of registration or an exemption
therefrom under such Securities Act of 1933 and such applicable state
securities laws. All shares represented by this certificate are
subject to the terms and conditions of a Warrantholder and
Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 22, 1997, and a Voting
Trust Agreement, dated as of the same date, both of which may be
examined at the offices of Tel-Save Holdings, Inc., New Hope,
Pennsylvania.
(e) The Company shall, at the request of any registered holder of an
Exercise Share, exchange the certificate representing such security for a
certificate representing the same security not bearing the restrictive legend
required by Subparagraph 7(d) if the Exercise Shares may be sold or transferred
pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144(k) and, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel to the Company, such restrictive legend is no longer necessary.
(f) The Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against
any loss, damage, claim or liability arising solely from the disposition of this
Warrant or any Exercise Share held by such Holder or any interest therein in
violation of the provisions of this paragraph 7.
44
(g) The Holder of this Warrant is entitled to the benefit of such
registration rights in respect of the Shares of Common Stock issuable to such
Holder upon exercise of the Warrants as are set forth in the Warrantholder and
Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 22, 1997, among the Company,
Tel-Save, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company and the Holder.
