Any Above Market Warrants or Above Market Options not exercised within the Exercise Period will be deemed cancelled and of no further effect and all Above Market Warrant Interest holders and Above Market Option Interest holders will thereafter be barred, and permanently enjoined, from asserting any rights or claims in respect of such Above Market Warrant Interests and Above Market Option Interests, and (ii) upon expiration of the Exercise Period all Post-Split Common Stock shall be cancelled and there shall be issued to each participant in distributions to Class 8 its Pro Rata share of the Class 8 Stock and New Warrants in accordance with the following subsection.

(iii)  The entitlements to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, with a consequent rounding up of the applicable per share price.

The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to (i) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under the Plan, (ii) make all distributions contemplated hereby, (iii) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities, and (iv) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to the implementation of the provisions hereof. The Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions required under this Plan (subject to the provisions of Articles III, V, and VI hereof), except with respect to a holder of a Claim whose distribution is governed by an indenture or other agreement and is administered by an indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, which distributions shall be deposited with the

 


 

C-25



 

appropriate indenture trustee, agent, or servicer, who shall deliver such distributions to the holders of Claims in accordance with the provisions of this Plan and the terms of the relevant indenture or other governing agreement.

 

If the Disbursing Agent is an independent third party designated by Reorganized Redback to serve in such capacity (or, in the case of an indenture or other agreement that governs distributions and is administered by an indenture trustee, agent, or servicer), such Disbursing Agent, indenture trustee, agent, or servicer shall receive, without the need for further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services, from Reorganized Redback on terms acceptable to Reorganized Redback. Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date (including, without limitation, taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement claims (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney and other professional fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by Reorganized Redback. No Disbursing Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. If otherwise so ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any such bond shall be paid by Reorganized Redback.

 

C.    Surrender of Securities, Instruments and Other Certificates

 

1.    Generally.

As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, the holder of such Claim or Interest, other than holders whose holdings are evidenced merely by electronic entry, shall be required to tender the applicable instruments, securities or other documentation (if any) evidencing such Claim or Interest (a “Certificate”) to Reorganized Redback or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, unless waived in writing by Reorganized Redback. Any Cash, New Common Stock or New Warrants to be distributed pursuant to the Plan on account of any such Claim or Interest shall, pending surrender of such Certificate, shall be treated as an undeliverable distribution pursuant to the Plan.

 

2.    Existing Securities Certificates.

On or before the applicable Distribution Date, each holder of a Certificate (if any) evidencing an Existing Security shall surrender its Certificate to Reorganized Redback or the Indenture Trustee or their agents, as applicable, in accordance with written instructions to be provided to such holders by Reorganized Redback or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date. Delivery of the Certificates will be effected, and risk of loss and title thereto will pass, only upon the proper delivery of such Certificates with a letter of transmittal in accordance with any instructions provided. All surrendered Certificates shall be marked as cancelled. In the event that the Certificates for the Subordinated Notes consists solely of one or more global notes held at the Depository Trust Company or other applicable depository, the Indenture Trustee shall surrender such Certificates to Reorganized Redback or its agents.

 

3.    Failure to Surrender Certificates.

 

Any holder of a Claim or Interest that fails to surrender or is deemed to have failed to surrender its Certificate within one (1) year after the Effective Date shall have its Claim or Interest and its distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest evidenced by such Certificate discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting any such Claim or Interest against Reorganized Redback or its

 


 

C-26



 

property. In such cases, any Cash, New Common Stock or New Warrants held for distribution on account of such Claim or Interest shall be treated as provided for pursuant to Article V.I. of the Plan.

 

D.    Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Securities

In addition to any requirements under the Indenture or any other applicable agreement, any holder of a Claim or Interest evidenced by a Certificate that has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed shall, in lieu of surrendering its Certificate, deliver to Reorganized Redback or the Indenture Trustee or their agents, as applicable: (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Reorganized Redback and, when applicable, the Indenture Trustee, of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by Reorganized Redback or, when applicable, the Indenture Trustee to hold Reorganized Redback and, when applicable, the Indenture Trustee harmless from any damages, liabilities or costs incurred in treating such individual as a holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest. Upon compliance with the foregoing by a holder of a Claim or Interest, such holder shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered its Certificate.

 

E.    Instructions to Disbursing Agent

Prior to any distribution on account of a Class 4.1 Subordinated Note Claim, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) inform the Disbursing Agent as to the amount of properly surrendered Subordinated Notes, and (ii) inform the Disbursing Agent in a properly completed letter of transmittal, accompanied where applicable with properly remitted securities, of the names of holders of Allowed Class 4.1 Subordinated Note Claims, and the number of shares of New Common Stock to be issued and distributed to or on behalf of each such holder of Allowed Class 4.1 Subordinated Note Claims in exchange for their Subordinated Notes.

 

F.    Services of Indenture Trustee

The Indenture Trustee’s services with respect to consummation of the Plan shall be as set forth in the Plan.

 

G.    Record Date for Distributions to Holders of Subordinated Notes and Redback Interests

At the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the transfer ledgers for the Existing Securities shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of such securities. Reorganized Redback and the Disbursing Agent, if any, shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of any such securities occurring after the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders stated on the transfer ledgers as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

 

H.    Means of Cash Payment

Cash payments under this Plan will be in U.S. funds by checks drawn on a domestic bank selected by Reorganized Redback, or by wire transfer from a domestic bank, at the option of Reorganized Redback. Cash payments to foreign creditors may be made, at the option of Reorganized Redback, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.

 

I.    Delivery of Distributions; Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions

Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests shall be made by the Disbursing Agent or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, (i) at the holder’s last known address, or (ii) at the address

 


 

C-27



 

in any properly completed written notice of address change delivered to the Disbursing Agent or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, or (iii) in the case of the holder of a Subordinated Note Claim, at the address in the Indenture Trustee’s or its registrar’s official records, or (iv) in the case of the holder of a Redback Interest, at the address in the Debtor’s or its registrars official records, or (v) at the address set forth in a properly completed letter of transmittal accompanying a Certificate properly remitted in accordance with the terms hereof. If any holder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder need be made, unless and until the Disbursing Agent or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, is notified of such holder’s then current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder without accounting for interest. Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions made through the Disbursing Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall be returned to Reorganized Redback or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, until such distributions are claimed.

 

All claims for undeliverable distributions must be made within one (1) year after the Effective Date, after which date the claim of any holder or successor to such holder with respect to such property will be discharged and forever barred. Any checks or other payments on account of distributions pursuant to the Plan which are not cashed or otherwise claimed within one year from the effective date may be cancelled by Reorganized Redback and shall be considered unclaimed or undeliverable distributions. Any Cash, New Common Stock or New Warrants held or reserved for distribution on account of unclaimed or undeliverable distributions shall become property of the Estate free of any restrictions thereon and notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. Any New Common Stock or New Warrants held for distribution on account of such Claim or Interest shall be canceled and of no further force or effect. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require any Disbursing Agent, including, but not limited to, Reorganized Redback, to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest.

 

J.    Withholding and Reporting Requirements

In connection with the Plan and all distributions thereunder, Reorganized Redback shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. Reorganized Redback shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (i) each holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest that is to receive a distribution of Cash, New Common Stock or New Warrants pursuant to the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution, and (ii) no distribution shall be required to be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to Reorganized Redback for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations or has, to Reorganized Redback’s satisfaction, established an exemption therefrom. Any Cash, New Common Stock or New Warrants to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall, pending the implementation of such arrangements, be treated as undeliverable pursuant to Article V.I. of the Plan.

 

K.    Allocation of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest

To the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under the Plan is comprised of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such distribution shall, for the Debtor’s federal income tax purposes, be allocated on the Debtor’s books and records to the principal amount of the Claim first and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to accrued but unpaid interest.

 


 

C-28



 

L.    Setoffs

 

1.    Setoffs.

Except as provided in the Plan, Reorganized Redback may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim or Interest or Passed Through Right, and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim or Interest or Passed Through Right, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor may have against the holder of such Claim or Interest or Passed Through Right; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so, nor the allowance of any Claim or Interest or Passed Through Right hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by Reorganized Redback of any claim that the Debtor may have against such Person.

 

2.    Application of Landlord Security.

The Allowed amount of any Lease Claim shall be determined net of the application of any security (including deposits and letters of credit) held in respect of such Claim.

 

3.    Application of Insurance to Litigation Claims.

The Litigation Claims shall be considered as contingent Disputed Claims unless and until such litigation or other adjudicative proceedings have been finally settled to the satisfaction of Debtor or resolved pursuant to a Final Order. Until such resolution distributions in respect of such Litigation Claims shall be treated as undeliverable pursuant to Article V.I. The Allowed amount of any such finally resolved Litigation Claim shall be determined after the application of all available insurance proceeds, letters of credit or Collateral and the holder of a Litigation Claim shall first proceed against and exhaust such sources of payment before any distribution need be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims.

 

M.    Compromise of Controversies

Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the classification, distribution and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims arising prior to the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the business or affairs of, or transactions with, the Debtor and any other Claims and controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of each of the foregoing compromises or settlements, and all other compromises and settlements provided for in the Plan, and the Bankruptcy Court’s findings shall constitute its determination that such compromises and settlements are in the best interests of the Debtor, the Estate, creditors and other parties in interest, and are fair, equitable and within the range of reasonableness.

 

N.    Payments Prior to the Distribution Date

Notwithstanding the contents of the Schedule of Claims and Interests, Claims listed therein as undisputed, liquidated and not contingent shall be reduced by the amount, if any, that was paid by the Debtor prior to the applicable Distribution Date, including pursuant to orders of the Bankruptcy Court. To the extent such payments are not reflected in the Schedule of Claims and Interests, such Schedule of Claims and Interests is hereby amended and reduced to reflect that such payments were made. Nothing in the Plan shall preclude Debtor from paying Claims that the Debtor was authorized to pay pursuant to any Final Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date.

 


 

C-29



 

Article VI.

 

Procedures for resolving disputed, contingent,

and unliquidated claims and interests; bar dates

 

A.    Objections to Claims and Interests; Disputed Claims and Interests

The Debtor intends to make distributions, as required by the Plan, in accordance with the Schedule of Claims and Interests. Unless disputed by the Debtor or a holder of a Claim or Interest, the amount set forth in the Schedule of Claims and Interests as liquidated, undisputed and not contingent, shall constitute the amount of the Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest of such holder. If any holder of a Claim or Interest disagrees with the amount so Scheduled by the Debtor, such holder must file a proof of claim, in which event, the Claim or Interest will be a Disputed Claim or a Disputed Interest. The Debtor will resolve any such disputes either consensually or through judicial means through the Bankruptcy Court, except to the extent that Reorganized Redback and the holder of such Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest agree to resolve such dispute in arbitration or some other judicial forum. The determination of whether such Claim or Interest shall be Allowed and/or the amount of any such Claim or Interest shall be determined, resolved or adjudicated, as the case may be, in accordance with relevant applicable law. All such objections will be litigated to Final Order; provided, however, that the Debtor may compromise and settle, withdraw or resolve by any other method approved by the Bankruptcy Court, any objections to Claims or Interests. In addition, any Debtor may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether such Debtor has previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount will constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, the Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate payment on such Claim. All of the afore-mentioned Claims objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and are not necessarily exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and thereafter resolved by any permitted mechanism. Unless otherwise provided herein, any distributions and deliveries to be made on account of Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests shall be in complete settlement, satisfaction and discharge of such Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests.

 

B.    No Distribution Pending Allowance

No payments or distributions will be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by Final Order, and the Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest, or relevant portion thereof, has become an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest.

 

C.    Distributions After Allowance

To the extent that a Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, a distribution will be made to the holder of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court, or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction, allowing any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall disburse to the holder of such Claim or Interest the distribution to which such holder is entitled under the Plan.

 


 

C-30



 

D.    Filing Proofs of Claim; Bar Dates for Claims and Interests

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, unless the holder of a Claim or Interest does not dispute the amount of their Claim or Interest shown on the Schedule of Claims and Interests as liquidated, undisputed and not contingent, any holder of a Claim or Interest shall be required to File and serve on the bankruptcy counsel for Debtor, and any other party specifically requesting a copy, a proof of claim or interest (as applicable) in respect of their Claim or Interest, by the date occurring ten (10) days prior to the date of the Confirmation Hearing. Holders of Claims and Interests that are required to so file a proof of claim or interest, but which do not do so within such prescribed time period shall be forever barred from asserting such Claims or Interests against the Debtor, the Estate, Reorganized Redback or their property. In the event that, for whatever reason, the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the setting of the bar dates as described above, the Debtor reserves the right, and shall be entitled, to set no bar date and to resolve any Claims or Interests or Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests after Confirmation in the ordinary course, or to seek approval, by appropriate order of the Bankruptcy Court, for the fixing of an alternative bar date following the Confirmation Date. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to set any such bar dates or to otherwise resolve such Claims, Interests, Disputed Claims and Disputed Interests.

 

E.    Objections to Claims

Except as otherwise provided for Professional Fee Claims and Administrative Claims under Article II.A. hereof, and as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, objections to Claims shall be Filed by Reorganized Redback and served upon the holder of such claim as applicable, not later than the later of (a) ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, and (b) sixty (60) days after a proof of claim or interest is Filed. Nothing in this Article VI.E. shall be construed to extend the applicable bar date or dates for the Filing of proofs of claims or interest, or requests for payment in these cases, or to make timely any proof of claim or interest, or request for payment Filed after the applicable bar date.

 

Article VII.

 

Treatment of executory contracts and unexpired leases

 

A.    Assumed Contracts, Unexpired Leases and Passed Through Rights

1.    Except as otherwise provided below with respect to real estate leases or otherwise in the Plan, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement or document entered into in contemplation of the Plan, as of the Effective Date, Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed each executory contract and unexpired lease to which it is a party, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtor, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, or (iii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Confirmation Date. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code approving the contract and lease assumptions described above, as of the Effective Date. Nothing in the Plan, any Annex to the Plan, or any document executed or delivered in connection with the Plan or any such Annex creates any obligation or liability on the part of the Debtor, Reorganized Redback or any other person or entity that is not currently liable for such obligation, with respect to any executory contract or unexpired lease except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.

 

2.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of section VII.A.1., each unexpired lease for the use or occupancy of real estate shall, as of the Effective Date, be deemed to be rejected by the Debtor pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code unless such lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by the

 


 

C-31



 

Debtor, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, (iii) is the subject of a motion to assume filed on or before the Confirmation Date or (iv) is a Restructured Lease or Sales Office Lease. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code approving the lease rejections described above, as of the Effective Date.

 

3.    Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed or passed through and relates to the use, ability to acquire, or occupancy of real property shall include (i) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease and (ii) all executory contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the real estate, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, usufructs, reciprocal easement agreements, vaults, tunnel or bridge agreements or franchises, and any other interests in real estate or rights in related to such real estate, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, or is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Confirmation Date.

 

4.    As of the Effective Date, all Passed Through Rights, including any non-exclusive or exclusive patent, trademark, copyright, maskwork or other intellectual property license not assumable under Section 365(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be passed through for the benefit of the Reorganized Redback, unaltered and unaffected by the Chapter 11 Case.

 

B.    Payments Related to Assumption of Contracts and Leases

Any monetary amounts by which any executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed under the Plan is in default shall be satisfied, under Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the Debtor by Cure. Provided that upon assumption of any executory contract or unexpired lease the Debtor shall continue to have the benefit of any payment terms that existed prior to the Petition Date with respect to amounts payable under such contracts. If there is a dispute regarding (i) the nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of a Reorganized Redback or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption or assumption and assignment (as applicable), Cure shall occur following the entry of a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assumption and assignment, as the case may be. Any monetary defaults under each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed under the Plan shall be satisfied by Reorganized Redback, under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, either by payment of the cure amount (if any), in Cash, on the Effective Date, such other terms as agreed to by Reorganized Redback and the non-debtor party to the executory contract or unexpired lease, or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Unless the non-debtor party to any executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed Filed and served on the Debtor and its counsel an objection to the ‘cure amount’ specified on the Schedule of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be Assumed on or before the last date established by the Bankruptcy Court to File and serve objections to Confirmation of the Plan, such ‘cure amount’ shall be forever binding on such non-debtor party to said executory contract or unexpired lease. In the event of a timely Filed and served objection regarding (1) the amount of any cure payments, (2) the ability of Reorganized Redback to provide adequate assurance of future performance under the executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed, or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, any cure payment required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assumption and assignment, as the case may be.

 


 

C-32



 

C.    Rejected Contracts, Leases and Passed Through Rights

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan (including pursuant to Article VII.A.) or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in contemplation of the Plan, none of the executory contracts and unexpired leases to which a Debtor is a party shall be rejected under the Plan; provided, however, that the Debtor reserves the right, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, to seek to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease or Passed Through Right to which the Debtor is a party. Effective immediately prior to the Effective Date, each executory contract or unexpired lease or Passed Through Right of the Debtor listed on the “Schedule of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and Passed Through Rights to be Rejected,” is rejected, to the extent, if any, each constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease or Passed Through Right, and without conceding that each constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease or Passed Through Right or that the Debtor has any liability under each. Listing a contract or lease or Passed Through Right on the Schedule of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and Passed Through Rights to be Rejected is not deemed an admission by the Debtor or Reorganized Redback that such contract is an executory contract or unexpired lease or Passed Through Right or that the Debtor or Reorganized Redback has any liability thereunder. The Debtor reserves the right at any time before Confirmation to amend the Schedule of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases or Passed Through Rights to be Rejected, including to (a) delete any executory contract or unexpired lease or Passed Through Right listed on such Schedule and provide for its assumption or assumption and assignment or being passed through, as the case may be, or (b) add any executory contract or unexpired lease or Passed Through Right to such Schedule, thus providing for its rejection. The Debtor shall provide notice of any amendment of such Schedule to the party to the affected executory contract or unexpired lease, counsel for the Committee and the U.S. Trustee.

 

D.    Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases; Bar Date

If the rejection by Debtor, pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, of an executory contract or unexpired lease or Passed Through Right gives rise to a Claim, a proof of Claim must be served upon Reorganized Redback and its bankruptcy counsel within thirty (30) days after the earlier of (i) notice of entry of the Confirmation Order, or (ii) other notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease or Passed Through Right has been rejected. Any Claims not served within such time periods will be forever barred from assertion against Reorganized Redback, its Estate, and its property. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving all such rejections as of the Effective Date. Debtor reserves the right to designate, at any time prior to the Confirmation Order, any such Claim as a Miscellaneous Impaired Claim.

 

E.    Compensation and Benefit Plans; Treatment of Retirement Plans

Except as, and to the extent, previously assumed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Confirmation Date, all employee compensation and benefit programs of the Debtor including the Retained Incentive Plans (but excluding the other Employee Incentive Plans and any Redback Stock Option Interests and Old Redback Common Stock Warrant Interests), and programs subject to Sections 1114 and 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code and including, without limitation, all savings plans, retirement plans, healthcare plans, disability plans, severance plans, incentive plans, and life, accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans, entered into before or after the Petition Date and not since terminated, will be deemed to be, and will be treated as executory contracts that are assumed under Article VII.A. of the Plan, but only to the extent that rights under such programs are held by the Debtor or Persons who are employees of the Debtor as of the Confirmation Date, and the Debtor’s obligations under such programs to persons who are employees of the Debtor on the Confirmation Date will survive confirmation of the Plan, except for executory contracts or plans as have previously been

 


 

C-33



 

rejected, are the subject of a motion to reject, or have been specifically waived by the beneficiaries of any plans or contracts. In addition, pursuant to the requirements of Section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan provides for the continuation of payment by the Debtor of all “retiree benefits,” as defined in Section 1114(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, if any, at previously established levels.

 

F.    Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the obligations of the Debtor to indemnify and/or provide contribution to any person or entity serving at any time on or prior to the Effective Date as one of its directors, officers, agents, employees or representatives by reason of such person’s or entity’s service in such capacity (or, as applicable, as a director, officer agent, employee or representative of any other corporation or legal entity), to the extent provided in the Debtor’s Corporate Documents, or by a written agreement with the Debtor, or pursuant to applicable general corporation law, each as applicable, in respect of all past, present and future actions, suits and proceedings against any of such directors, officers, agents, employees and representatives, shall not be discharged or impaired by confirmation or consummation of the Plan, but shall survive unaffected by the reorganization contemplated by the Plan and shall be deemed and treated as executory contracts that are assumed by Reorganized Redback pursuant to the Plan and Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. Accordingly, such indemnification obligations shall be treated as Assumed Unsecured Claims and shall survive Unimpaired and unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order, irrespective of whether such indemnification is owed for an act or event occurring before, on or after the Petition Date.

 

Article VIII.

 

Acceptance or rejection of the plan

 

A.    Classes Entitled To Vote

Each Impaired Class of Claims or Interests that will (or may) receive or retain property or any interest in property under the Plan, i.e., Classes 4, 5, 8 and 12, is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. By operation of law, each Unimpaired Class of Claims or Interests is deemed to have accepted the Plan and each Class of Claims or Interests not entitled to any distribution under the Plan is deemed to have rejected the Plan and, therefore, in either such case such Classes of Claims and Interests are not entitled to vote.

 

B.    Acceptance by Impaired Classes

An Impaired Class of Claims shall have accepted the Plan if (i) the holders of at least two-thirds in amount of the Allowed Claims actually voting in the Class have voted to accept the Plan, and (ii) the holders of more than one-half in number of the Allowed Claims actually voting in the Class have voted to accept the Plan, in each case not counting the vote of any holder designated by the Bankruptcy Court under Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. An Impaired Class of Interests shall have accepted the Plan if the holders (other than any holder designated by the Bankruptcy Court under Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) of at least two-thirds in amount of the Allowed Interests actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan.

 

C.    Elimination of Classes

Any Class that does not contain any Allowed Claims or Interests or any Claims or Interests temporarily allowed for voting purposes under Bankruptcy Rule 3018, as of the date of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, shall be deemed to have been deleted from this Plan for purposes of (i) voting to

 


 

C-34



 

accept or reject this Plan, and (ii) determining whether it has accepted or rejected this Plan under Section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

D.    Cramdown

To the extent necessary, the Debtor requests confirmation of the Plan, as it may be modified from time to time, under Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor reserves the right to modify the Plan to the extent, if any, that confirmation pursuant to Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification, including, if necessary, by the elimination of distributions to Classes 7 and 8.

 

Article IX.

 

Securities to be issued in connection with the plan

 

A.    New Securities

On or before the applicable Distribution Date, Reorganized Redback shall issue, for distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, the New Common Stock and New Warrants required for distribution pursuant to the provisions hereof. All securities to be issued shall be deemed issued as of the Effective Date regardless of the date on which they are actually distributed. A description of the terms of the New Common Stock is annexed hereto as Exhibit B.

 

B.    Exemption from Registration

The issuance of the New Securities pursuant to the Plan shall be, and the Confirmation Order shall provide that they, and any securities issued upon exercise thereof, are, exempt, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, from registration under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws (including state securities laws) pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, except to the extent of any restrictions applicable under Section 1145 to any holders of New Securities deemed to be “underwriters,” as that term is defined in Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Article X.

 

Conditions precedent to the plan’s confirmation and the effective date

 

A.    Conditions to Confirmation

(b)  the provisions of the Confirmation Order are nonseverable and mutually dependent;

 

(c)  all executory contracts or unexpired leases or Passed Through Rights assumed or assumed and assigned or passed through by the Debtor during the Chapter 11 Case or under the Plan shall remain in full force and effect for the benefit of Reorganized Redback or its assignees, notwithstanding any provision in such contract or lease or Passed Through Right (including those described in Sections 365(b)(2) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code) that prohibits such assignment or transfer or that enables, permits, or requires termination of such contract or lease or Passed Through Right;

 

(d)  the transfers of property by the Debtor (i) to Reorganized Redback (a) are or will be legal, valid, and effective transfers of property, (b) vest or will vest Reorganized Redback with good title to such property free and clear of all liens, charges, claims, encumbrances, or interests, except as expressly provided in the Plan or Confirmation Order, (c) do not and will not constitute avoidable transfers under the Bankruptcy Code or under applicable bankruptcy or nonbankruptcy law, and (d) do not and will not subject Reorganized Redback to any liability by reason of such transfer under the Bankruptcy Code or under applicable nonbankruptcy law, including, without limitation, any laws affecting successor, transferee or stamp or recording tax liability, and (ii) to holders of Claims and Interests under the Plan are for good and adequate consideration and value;

(g)  the Plan does not provide for the liquidation of all or substantially all of the property of the Debtor and its Confirmation is not likely to be followed by the liquidation of Reorganized Redback or the need for further financial reorganization; and

 

(h)  the New Common Stock and New Warrants (and stock issuable upon exercise thereof) issued or issuable pursuant to the Plan in exchange for Claims and Interests, as applicable, are exempt from registration under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws (including state securities laws) pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, except to the extent of any restrictions applicable under Section 1145 to any holders of New Common Stock or New Warrants deemed to be “underwriters,” as that term is defined in Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

C.    Severability of Plan Provisions

If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Debtor, shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

C-42



 

the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, not have or incur any liability to any holder of a Claim or Interest or Passed Through Right, or any other party in interest, or any of their respective agents, employees, equity holders, partners, members, representatives, financial advisors, attorneys, or affiliates, or any of their successors or assigns, for any act or omission arising after the Petition Date, except for their willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by Final Order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and in all respects shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under the Plan and the Lock-Up Agreement.

All injunctions or stays contained in this Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, «Name» (the “Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from REDBACK NETWORKS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), «Warrants» fully paid and nonassessable shares (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 hereof) (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at the purchase price of [Five Dollars ($5.00)] [Nine Dollars and Fifty Cents ($9.50) per share] (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 hereof) (the “Exercise Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agent Agreement between the Company and U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation as Warrant Agent, dated                          , 2003, which is hereby incorporated by reference in and made part of this Warrant.

 

1.  Exercise Rights.

 

(a)  Cash Exercise.    The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time during the term hereof, in whole or in part, by surrender of this Warrant and delivery of a completed and duly executed Notice of Cash Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit A, accompanied by payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased by the Holder in connection with such cash exercise of this Warrant, which amount may be paid, at the election of the Holder, by wire transfer or delivery of a certified check payable to the order of the Company to the principal offices of the Company.

 

(b)  Net Issue Exercise.

 

(i)  In lieu of exercising the purchase rights represented by this Warrant on a cash basis pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof, the Holder may elect to exercise such rights represented by this Warrant at any time during the term hereof, in whole or in part, on a net-issue basis by electing to receive the number of Warrant Shares which are equal in value to the value of this Warrant (or any portion thereof to be canceled in connection with such net-issue exercise) at the time of any such net-issue exercise, by delivery to the principal offices of the Company of this Warrant and a completed and duly executed Notice of Net-Issue Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit B, properly marked to indicate (A) the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder in connection with such net-issue exercise, (B) the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being

 


 

C-50



 

surrendered in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder in connection with such net-issue exercise, calculated as of the Determination Date (as defined below) and (C) the number of Warrant Shares which remain subject to the Warrant after such net-issue exercise, if any (each as determined in accordance with Section 1(b)(ii) hereof).

 

(ii)  In the event that the Holder will elect to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant in whole or in part on a net-issue basis pursuant to this Section 1(b), the Company will issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

X    =

   Y (A-B)     
     A     

 

X

   =    the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder in connection with such net-issue exercise.

Y

   =    the number of Warrant Shares to be surrendered, up to the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant.

A

   =    the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock.

B

   =    the Exercise Price in effect as of the date of such net-issue exercise (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 hereof).

 

(c)  Fair Market Value.    For purposes of this Section 1, the “Fair Market Value” of the Common Stock will have the following meanings:

 

(i)  If the Common Stock is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or admitted for trading on a national market or other quotation system, then the Fair Market Value of Common Stock will be deemed to be the closing price quoted on the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for trading, or if not so listed, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for Common Stock quoted on the national market or other quotation system on which Common Stock is admitted for trading, each as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal (or, if such prices are not published in the Western Edition of the Wall Street Journal, as reported by the applicable authority or association governing trading of the Common Stock), in each case for the ten trading days prior to the Determination Date. The “Determination Date” of Fair Market Value will be the date indicated on the Notice of Net Issue Exercise; provided, however, that if the Company does not receive the Notice of Net Issue Exercise within five (5) business days of the date indicated thereon, the Determination Date will be the date the Company receives the Notice of Net Issue Exercise.

 

(ii)  If the Common Stock is not listed for trading on a national securities exchange or admitted for trading on a national market or other quotation system, then the Fair Market Value of Common Stock will be deemed to be the fair market value of Common Stock as determined in good faith from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) as at the Determination Date, and receipt and acknowledgment of this Warrant by the Holder will be deemed to be an acknowledgment and acceptance of any such determination of the fair market value of Common Stock by the Board of Directors as the final and binding determination of such Fair Market Value for purposes of this Warrant.

 

(d)  Certain Distributions.    The Company will provide the Holder with prior written notice of any Distribution (as defined below) to be made by the Company after the date hereof and prior to the expiration of this Warrant. Such notice will be delivered to the Holder not less than twenty (20) days prior to the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive the Distribution. “Distribution

 


 

C-51



 

will mean a distribution by the Company to all holders of its shares of Common Stock (i) evidences of indebtedness of the Company to its stockholders, (ii) assets (excluding cash distributions made as a dividend payable out of the lesser of the undistributed earnings for the fiscal year during which the dividend is declared and the retained earnings of the Company) or (iii) rights to subscribe to shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that the foregoing will not apply to any stockholder rights plan of the Company.

 

(e)  Fractional Shares.    Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Company will not be obligated to issue fractional shares of Common Stock, and in lieu thereof, the Company will pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such exercise multiplied by such fraction (rounded to the nearest cent).

 

(f)  Expiration of Warrant.    This Warrant will expire and will no longer be exercisable on [7 years from the date of issuance], 2010 (the “Expiration Date”).

 

(g)  Record Ownership of Warrant Shares.    The Warrant Shares will be deemed to have been issued, and the person in whose name any certificate representing Warrant Shares will be issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (as indicated in the appropriate Notice of Exercise) will be deemed to have become the holder of record of (and will be treated for all purposes as the record holder of) the Warrant Shares represented thereby, immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which the rights represented by this Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(h)  Stock Certificates.    In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased pursuant hereto will be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant will not have been exercised will also be issued to the Holder within such time.

 

(i)  Issuance of Shares.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, the obligation of the Company to deliver Warrant Shares upon any exercise of this Warrant will be subject to compliance with any law, rule, regulation, order, decree or other similar authority that may be applicable to such issuance.

 

(j)  Issue Taxes.    The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of this Warrant.

 

2.  Adjustment Rights.

 

(a)  Right to Adjustment.    The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, and the Exercise Price therefor, will be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

 

(i)  Reclassifications.    In the event of a reclassification of the Common Stock other than by stock split, subdivision, consolidation or combination thereof, the Company will execute a new Warrant, the terms of which provide that the holder of this Warrant will have the right to exercise the rights represented by such new Warrant, and procure upon such exercise and payment of the

 


 

C-52



 

same aggregate Exercise Price then in effect, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock previously issuable upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification by a holder of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock at the time of such reclassification. Such new Warrant will provide for adjustments which are as equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2. The provisions of this Section 2(a)(i) will apply with equal force and effect to all successive reclassifications of the Common Stock.

 

(ii)  Stock Splits, Capital Stock Dividends, Combinations and Consolidations.    In the event of a stock split, capital stock dividend or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to such stock split, capital stock dividend or subdivision will be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price then in effect will be proportionately decreased, effective at the close of business on the date of such stock split, capital stock dividend or subdivision, as the case may be. Conversely, in the event of a reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event of or in respect of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to such reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event will be proportionately decreased and the Exercise Price will be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event, as the case may be. Nothing in this Warrant will entitle the Holder to receive any capital stock dividend or other distribution to all of the Company’s stockholders until this Warrant will have been exercised.

 

(iii)  Merger or Consolidation.    If at any time there will be effected a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or a sale of all or substantially of the Company’s assets, in such way that holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for their Common Stock, then, as a part of such merger, consolidation or sale, lawful provision will be made so that the Holder will thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of its rights to purchase the Warrant Shares, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such merger, consolidation or sale, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of the right to purchase the Warrant Shares under this Warrant would have been entitled in such merger, consolidation or sale if the right to purchase the Warrant Shares had been exercised immediately prior to such transaction. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) will be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustments of the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant) will be applicable after the transaction, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities or property deliverable after that transaction upon the exercise of the Holder’s rights to purchase the Warrant Shares.

 

(b)  Adjustment Notices.    Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, and any increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, in accordance with this Section 2, the Company thereafter will give written notice thereof to the Holder at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice will state the Exercise Price as adjusted and, if applicable, the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each such adjustment.

 

3.  Transfer of Warrant.    This Warrant and the rights represented hereby may only be transferred in accordance with the conditions set forth in this Section 3. This Warrant and the rights represented hereby

 


 

C-53



 

may only be transferred in whole and no partial transfer of this Warrant will be permitted. In order to effect any transfer of all or a portion of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, the Holder hereof will deliver to the Company a completed and duly executed Notice of Transfer, in the form attached as Exhibit C.

 

4.  Representations and Warranties of the Company.    The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder as follows:

 

(a)  Valid Execution.    This Warrant has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, by an implied covenant of good faith, reasonableness and fair dealing and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

(b)  Authorization.    The Warrant Shares have been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and, when issued upon the exercise of such rights in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Warrant Shares will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. At all times during the term hereof, the Company will have authorized and reserved for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

 

5.  No Stockholder Rights.    Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2 of this Warrant, the Holder (and any transferee hereof) will not be entitled to vote on matters submitted for the approval or consent of the stockholders of the Company or to receive dividends or other distributions declared on or in respect of shares of Common Stock, or otherwise be deemed to be the holder of Common Stock or any other capital stock or other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby for any purpose, nor will anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder (or any transferee hereof) any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted for the approval or consent of the stockholders, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, merger or consolidation, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant will have been exercised and the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby will have become deliverable as provided herein.

 

6.  Miscellaneous.

 

(a)  Governing Law.    This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Warrant will be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware as applied to agreements made and performed in Delaware by residents of Delaware.

 

(b)  Successors and Assigns.    Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Section 3, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

 

(c)  Waiver and Amendment.    This Warrant may be terminated in advance of the Expiration Date, and any provision of this Warrant may be amended, waived or modified upon, either (i) the written consent

 


 

C-54



 

of the Company and the Holder or (ii) the written consent of the Company and the consent of those Holders holding at least a majority of the then-outstanding Warrant Shares, calculated assuming the exercise for cash of all of the then-outstanding Warrants.

 

(d)  Notices.    All notices and other communications provided for hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given if mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by recognized overnight courier, or delivered by personal delivery at the respective addresses of the parties as set forth in this Section 6 or on the register maintained by the Company, or, as to each party, at such other address as will be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party. Notices to the Company will be directed to it at its address at Redback Networks Inc., 300 Holger Way, San Jose, California 95134; Attn: Chief Financial Officer. Any party hereto may by notice so given change its address for future notice hereunder. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, notice will conclusively be deemed to have been given when received.

 

(e)  Severability.    In case any provision of this Warrant is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

(f)  Further Assurances; No Impairment.    The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any other means, directly or indirectly, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant and will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against impairment. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of this Warrant or of any Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in any matter which interferes with a timely exercise of such rights. The Company will not, by any action, seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith seek to carry out all such terms and take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder under this Warrant against impairment.

 

(g)  Lost Warrant.    Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at the Holder’s expense will execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like date and tenor.
