EXHIBIT 4.5
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF
UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Corporation: Abovenet Communications, Inc.
Number of Shares: 5,000 shares (subject to the conditions provided
below)
Class of Stock: Series D Preferred; provided, however, that if the
Series D round does not close on or before August
31, 1998, the Class of Stock shall be Series C
Preferred.
Initial Exercise Price: Purchase Price of Series D (not to exceed $1.00);
provided, however that if the Series D round does
not close on or before August 31, 1998, the Initial
Exercise Price shall be $1.00.
Issue Date: May 22, 1998.
Expiration Date: 5 years after this Warrant is Exercisable pursuant
to Section 1.1, below.
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for the agreed upon value of $1.00 and for
other good and valuable consideration, SILICON VALLEY BANK ("Holder") is
entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
class of securities (the "Shares") of the corporation (the "Company") at the
initial exercise price per Share (the "Warrant Price") all as set forth above
and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the
provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.
ARTICLE I. EXERCISE.
1.1 METHOD OF EXERCISE. Holder may exercise this Warrant by
delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form
attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is
exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also
deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares
being purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall not be
exercisable unless and until the Company fails to comply with the Quick Ratio
covenant set forth in the Loan Agreement. In the event the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan is greater than $100,000.00 at the time such
failure shall occur, the Company agrees to issue additional Warrant Coverage to
Holder (in accordance with the foregoing terms) equal to $25,000.00 at an
Initial Exercise Price equal to the Series D Round Price; provided, however,
that if for any reason the Series D Round does not close on or before August
31, 1998, the Initial Exercise Price shall be that of the Series C Round Price.
For purposes of the foregoing, the "Loan Agreement" is that certain Loan and
Security Agreement dated May 22, 1998, as may be amended, between the Company
and Holder; "Loan" is the Revolving Facility as described in the Loan
Agreement; and "Warrant Coverage" is defined as a number of Shares equal to
$25,000.00 divided by the Initial Exercise Price.
1.2 CONVERSION RIGHT. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as
specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in
whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the
aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of
such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of
the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.4.
1.3 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
2
1.4 FAIR MARKET VALUE. If the Shares are traded in a public
market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the average closing price
of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company's stock into which the
Shares are convertible) reported for the thirty (30) days immediately before
Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not
traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall
determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. The
foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing
that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder
shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to undertake such
valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than
that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such
investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all other
circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.
1.5 DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATE AND NEW WARRANT. Promptly after
Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder
certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully
exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the
Shares not so acquired.
1.6 REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS. On receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an
indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company
or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant,
a new warrant of like tenor.
1.7 REPURCHASE ON SALE, MERGER, OR CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMPANY.
1.7.1 "ACQUISITION". For the purpose of this Warrant,
"Acquisition" means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any reorganization,
consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company's
securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction.
1.7.2 ASSUMPTION OR NONASSUMPTION OF WARRANT. If, on the
closing date for any Acquisition, the fair market value of the Shares (or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) is greater than or equal to
three (3) times the Warrant Price, then the successor entity may, at its
option, either assume the obligations of the Company under this Warrant or not
assume the obligations of the Company under this Warrant. If, on the record
date for any Acquisition, the fair market value of the Shares (or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) is less than three (3) times
the Warrant Price, then the successor entity shall assume the obligations of
the Company under this Warrant. If the successor entity assumes the obligations
of the Company under this Warrant (whether voluntarily or involuntarily), then
this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same class and amount of securities,
cash and/or other property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date
for the Acquisition. If the successor entity does not assume the obligations of
the Company under this Warrant, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been
automatically converted pursuant to Section 1.2 and thereafter Holder shall
participate in the Acquisition as a holder of the Shares (or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) on the same terms as other holders of
the same class of securities of the Company.
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1 STOCK DIVIDENDS, SPLITS, ETC. If the Company declares or
pays a dividend on its common stock (or the Shares if the Shares are securities
other than common stock) payable in common stock, or other securities,
subdivides the outstanding common stock in a greater amount of common stock,
or, if the Shares are securities other than common stock, subdivides the Shares
in a transaction that increases the amount of common stock into which the
Shares are convertible, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share
acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and
kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned
the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.
2.2 RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE OR SUBSTITUTION. Upon any
reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a
change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or
conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise
or conversion of this
3
Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have
received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before
such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event
shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable
securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common
stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's Articles of Incorporation upon the
closing of a registered public offering of the Company's common stock. The
Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such
new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to
the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon
exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly
apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other
events.
2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are
combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser
number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.
2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The Warrant Price and the
number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or, if the Shares are
Preferred Stock, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of the Shares, shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time in the manner
provided to holders of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock.
2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
Articles of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but
shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions
of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect Holder's rights under this Article against impairment.
If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common stock other
than as described above that adversely affects Holder's rights under this
Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a
manner that the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant is unchanged.
2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon
exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued
shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share
interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company
shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder amount computed
by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share
as determined pursuant to Section 1.4, above.
2.7 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the
Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such
adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial
Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment
is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate
setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series
of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents
and warrants to the Holder as follows:
(a) The Capitalization Overview of the Company provided to
Holder dated March 13, 1998 is true and correct as of the such date.

purchase right represented by this Warrant, and all securities, if any,
issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens
and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or
under applicable federal and state securities laws.
4
3.2 Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time
(a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its common stock, whether in
cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash

series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or

securities for cash, then, in connection with each such event, the Company

entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the
matters referred to in (c) and (d) above; (2) in the case of the matters

and (3) in the case of the matter referred to in (e) above, the same notice as

fiscal year of the Company, the annual audited financial statements of the
Company certified by independent public accountants of recognized standing and
(c) such other financial statements required under and in accordance with any
loan documents between Holder and the Company (or if there are no such
requirements [or if the subject loan(s) no longer are outstanding]), then
within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three quarters
of each fiscal year, the Company's quarterly, unaudited financial statements.
3.4 Registration Under Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
Company agrees that the Shares or, if the Shares are convertible into common
stock of the Company, such common stock, shall be subject to the registration
rights provided to holders of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock.

INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT
(COLLATERAL SHARING)
This INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT is made by and between Silicon Valley Bank
("SVB") and Transamerica Business Credit Corporation ("Creditor").
RECITALS
A. Abovenet Communications, Inc. ("Borrower") has borrowed funds from
SVB under a line of credit (the "Revolving Facility") in the original principal
amount of $750,000, pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May
22, 1998, as may be amended (the "Loan Agreement"). The Revolving Facility is
secured by Borrower's Collateral as referred to in the Loan Agreement. The Loan
Agreement shall be referred to in this Agreement as the "Loan Documents."
B. Borrower has requested Creditor to lend Borrower $6,000,000, which
Borrower proposes to use to purchase equipment. Creditor is willing to make
such loan (the "Creditor Loan"), provided SVB subordinates its security
interest in certain of Borrower's personal property to the security interest of
Creditor. SVB is willing to subordinate its interest in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Creditor Collateral. As used in this Agreement, "Creditor Collateral"
means the following: all equipment of Borrower financed by Creditor and pledged
as security under a certain Master Loan and Security Agreement dated May 28,
1998 between Creditor and Borrower and all proceeds of the foregoing.
2. SVB Collateral. As used in this Agreement, "SVB Collateral" means all
of the property of Borrower, now owned and hereafter acquired, other than the
Creditor Collateral. ("Collateral" as used in this Agreement shall mean SVB
Collateral or Creditor Collateral, as the case may be.)
3. Subordination.
(a) All security interests now or hereafter acquired by Creditor in
Creditor Collateral shall at all times be prior and superior to any security
interest or other interest or claim now held or hereafter acquired by SVB in
Creditor Collateral. (SVB and Creditor are sometimes referred to herein as the
"Lenders.")
(b) All security interests now or hereafter acquired by SVB in the
SVB Collateral shall at all times be prior and superior to any security
interest, ownership interest, or other interest or claim now held or hereafter
acquired by Creditor in SVB Collateral.
(c) The priorities specified in this Agreement shall be applicable
irrespective of the time or order of attachment or perfection of any security
interest or the time or order of filing of any financing statements or other
documents, or the giving of any notices of purchase money security interests or
other notices, or possession of any Collateral, or any statutes, rules or law,
or court decisions to the contrary.
(d) The subordinations and priorities specified in this Agreement
are expressly conditioned upon the nonavoidability and perfection of the
security interest to which another security interest is subordinated, and if
the security interest to which another security interest is subordinated is not
perfected or is avoidable, for any reason, then the subordinations and relative
priority provided for in this Agreement shall not be effective as to the
particular Collateral which is the subject of the unperfected or avoidable
security interest.
4. Termination Statements.
1
14
(a) SVB agrees to execute and deliver to Creditor, promptly upon
Creditor's request, appropriate UCC termination statements or partial releases
with respect to any Creditor Collateral being sold or otherwise disposed of in
connection with the liquidation of Borrower's assets upon or after the
declaration of a default or an event of default by Creditor under any present
or future instrument or agreement between the Borrower and Creditor. The
proceeds of any Creditor Collateral so sold or disposed of shall be applied,
after the deduction of any and all costs relating to such sale or disposition
(including attorneys' fees, advertising costs and auctioneer's fees) to any and
all outstanding present or future indebtedness, liabilities, guaranties or
other obligations of the Borrower to Creditor (the "Creditor Obligations") in
such order as Creditor may, in its discretion, determine and, only if all
Creditor Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, then to all or any
part of the present or future indebtedness, liabilities, guaranties or other
obligations of the Borrower to SVB (the "SVB Obligations") in such order as SVB
may, in its discretion, determine.
(b) Creditor agrees to execute and deliver to SVB, promptly upon
SVB's request, appropriate UCC termination statements or partial releases with
respect to any SVB Collateral being sold or otherwise disposed of in connection
with the liquidation of Borrower's assets upon or after the declaration of
default or any event of default by SVB under any present or future instrument
or agreement between the Borrower and SVB. The proceeds of any SVB Collateral
so sold or disposed of shall be applied, after the deduction of any and all
costs relating to such sale or disposition (including attorney's fees,
advertising costs and auctioneer's fees) to any and all outstanding SVB
Obligations in such order as SVB, in its discretion, may determine, and only if
all SVB Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, then to all or any
part of the Creditor Obligations in such order as Creditor, in its discretion,
may determine.
5. Lender's Rights. SVB and Creditor each agree that the other may at
any time, and from time to time, without the consent of the other party and
without notice to the other party, renew, extend or increase any of the
indebtedness, liabilities or obligations owing to it from the Borrower (the
"Secured Obligations") or that of any other person at any time directly or
indirectly liable for the payment of any Secured Obligations, accept partial
payments of the Secured Obligations, settle, release (by operation of law or
otherwise), compound, compromise, collect or liquidate any of the Secured
Obligations, make loans or advances to the Borrower secured in whole or in part
by its Collateral or refrain from making any loans or advances to the Borrower,
change, alter or vary the interest charge on, or any other terms or provisions
of the Secured Obligations or any present or future instrument, document or
agreement with the Borrower, and take any other action or omit to take any
other action with respect to its Secured Obligations or its Collateral as it
deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion. SVB and Creditor each
waive any right to require the other to marshal any Collateral or other assets
in favor of it or against or in payment of any or all of its Secured
Obligations.
6. Remedies. SVB shall not collect, take possession of, foreclose upon,
or exercise any other rights or remedies with respect to Creditor Collateral,
judicially or nonjudicially, or attempt to do any of the foregoing, without the
prior written consent of Creditor, which shall be a matter of Creditor's sole
discretion. Creditor shall not collect, take possession of, foreclose upon, or
exercise any other rights or remedies with respect to SVB Collateral,
judicially or nonjudicially, or attempt to do any of the foregoing, without the
prior written consent of SVB, which shall be a matter of SVB's sole discretion.
7. No Commitment by Lenders. It is understood and agreed that this
Agreement shall in no way be construed as a commitment or agreement by SVB or
Creditor to continue financing arrangements with the Borrower, and that SVB and
Creditor may terminate such arrangement at any time.
8. Insurance. The Lender having a senior security interest or lien in
the Collateral shall, subject to such Lender's rights under its agreements with
Borrower, have the sole and exclusive right, as against the other Lender, to
adjust settlement of such insurance policy in the event of any loss. All
proceeds of such policy shall be paid to the Lender having the senior claim as
set forth in this Agreement. After payment of such senior Lender's claim and
all expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other
costs, fees and expenses, any remaining proceeds shall be promptly remitted to
the other Lender for application to the Secured Obligations owing to it.
2
15
9. BANKRUPTCY FINANCING. In the event of any financing of the Borrower
by SVB or Creditor during any bankruptcy, arrangement, or reorganization of the
Borrower, each Lender agrees that the other's "Secured Obligations" shall
include without limitation all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations
incurred by the Borrower in any such proceeding, and the other's "Collateral"
shall include without limitation all Collateral arising during any such
proceeding, and this Agreement shall continue to apply during any such
proceeding.
10. NOTICES OF DEFAULT; CONSULTATION. Creditor and SVB agree to use
their best efforts to give to the other copies of any written notice of the
occurrence or existence of an event of default sent to Borrower, simultaneously
with the sending of such notice to Borrower, and to consult with each other for
a reasonable period, not to exceed sixty (60) days, as to enforcement of their
respective remedies against Borrower and its property, but the failure to do so
shall not affect the validity of such notice or create a cause of action
against or liability on the part of the party failing to give such notice, nor
shall it create any claim or right on behalf of the other party, the Borrower
or any third party. The sending of such notice shall not give the recipient the
obligation to cure such default or event of default.
11. NO CONTEST. Neither Creditor nor SVB shall contest the validity,
perfection, priority or enforceability of any lien or security interest granted
to the other, and each agrees to cooperate in the defense of any action
contesting the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of such liens
or security interest at the cost of the party defending such action.
12. FINANCIAL CONDITION OF BORROWER. Creditor and SVB are each
presently informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all other
circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the
risk of non-payment of the Secured Obligations owing to them. Creditor and SVB
each waives any right to require the other to disclose to it any information
which the other may now or hereafter acquire concerning the Borrower.
13. Revivor. If, after payment of the Creditor Obligations, the
Borrower thereafter becomes liable to Creditor on account of the Creditor
Obligations, or any payment made on the Creditor Obligations shall for any
reason be required to be returned or refunded by Creditor, this Agreement shall
thereupon in all respects become effective with respect to such subsequent or
reinstated Creditor Obligations, without the necessity of any further act or
agreement between Creditor and SVB. If, after payment of the SVB Obligations,
the Borrower thereafter becomes liable to SVB on account of the SVB
Obligations, or any payment made on the SVB Obligations shall for any reason be
required to be returned or refunded by SVB, this Agreement shall thereupon in
all respects become effective with respect to such subsequent or reinstated SVB
Obligations, without the necessity of any further act or agreement between SVB
and Creditor.
14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. SVB and Creditor each hereby waive the right
to trial by jury in any action or proceeding based upon, arising out of, or in
any way relating to: (i) this Agreement; or (ii) any other present or future
instrument or agreement between SVB and Creditor relating to the Borrower; or
(iii) any conduct, acts or omissions of SVB or Creditor or any of their
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other persons
affiliated with SVB or Creditor, relating to Borrower, in each of the foregoing
cases, whether sounding in contract or tort or otherwise.
15. GENERAL. Creditor and SVB are not in any manner to be construed to
be partners or joint venturers or to have any other legal relationship other
than as expressly set forth in written agreements between them. Creditor and
SVB each agrees to execute all such documents and instruments and take all such
actions as the other shall reasonably request in order to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation appropriate amendments
to Financing Statements executed by the Borrower in favor of Creditor or SVB in
order to refer to this Agreement (but this Agreement shall remain fully
effective notwithstanding any failure to execute any additional documents,
instruments, or amendments). Creditor and SVB each represents and warrants to
the other that it has not heretofore transferred to assigned any Financing
Statement naming the Borrower as debtor and it as secured party, and that it
will not do so without first
3
16
notifying the other in writing, and delivering a copy of this Agreement to the
proposed transferee or assignee, and obtaining the acknowledgment of the
proposed transferee or assignee that the transfer or assignment is subject to
all of the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of
SVB and Creditor and their successors and assigns, and neither the Borrower nor
any other person shall have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or
because of the existence of, this Agreement. This Agreement sets forth in full
the terms of agreement between Creditor and SVB with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and may not be modified or amended, nor may any rights
hereunder be waived, except in a writing signed by Creditor and SVB. In the
event of any litigation between the parties based upon or arising out of this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs
and expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) from the
non-prevailing party. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns, and shall be construed in
accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of California. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Intercreditor
Agreement as of May 22, 1998.
