WARRANT

 

To Purchase Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of

SAVVIS Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation

 

1. Grant of Warrant. THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT             , or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to exercise this Warrant to purchase from SAVVIS Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to an aggregate of              shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Series B Stock”), subject to adjustment as set forth in accordance with Section 5 and exercisable in accordance with Section 3, all on the terms and conditions and pursuant to the provisions hereinafter set forth. This Warrant is being granted pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of February     , 2004 (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company, Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe VIII, L.P., the other purchaser parties thereto, and the Company and the Holder intend to be legally bound hereby and thereby. Any capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

2. Exercise Price. The purchase price payable for each of the shares of Series B Stock sold upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant shall be $16.30 (the “Exercise Price”). Such Exercise Price and the number of shares of Series B Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable or exchangeable are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 5.

 

3. Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised or exchanged in whole or in part at any time prior to January 30, 2009 (the “Expiration Date”).

 

Subject to the foregoing, in order to exercise or exchange this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder hereof shall deliver to the Company at its office at 12851 Worldgate Drive,

 

1


Herndon, Virginia 20170 Attention: Chief Legal Officer, or at such other office as shall be designated by the Company pursuant to the Agreement:

 

(a) written notice of the Holder’s election to exercise or exchange this Warrant, which notice shall be substantially in the form of the attached “Subscription Form” and shall specify the number of shares of Series B Stock to be purchased pursuant to such exercise or exchange;

 

(b) at the election of the Holder, either (i) a wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company or (ii) notice that the Exercise Price is satisfied by reduction of the number of shares to be received by the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant as provided in Section 4 below, with the amount of such reduction specified in such notice; in each case such wire transfer or reduction in the number of shares shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for all shares of Series B Stock to be purchased pursuant to such exercise or exchange; and

 

(c) this Warrant, properly endorsed.

 

Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed and delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series B Stock issuable upon such exercise or exchange plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Current Market Value of one full share. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be registered in the name of the Holder or such other name as shall be designated in said notice.

 

Current Market Value” means the Base Market Value multiplied by ten. “Base Market Value” means, on any date, the average of the daily closing market prices of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”) for each day for five trading days ending [one business day] [two business days] before such date as of which such a price can be established in the manner set forth below. The closing market price for each such trading day shall be the last sale price on such day as reported in the Consolidated Last Sale Reporting System or as quoted in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System, or if such last sale price is not available, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as reported in either such system, or in any other case the higher bid price quoted for such day as reported by The Wall Street Journal and the National Quotation Bureau pink sheets. If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised or exchanged and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date of that said notice, together with said payment and this Warrant, is received by the Company as aforesaid (the “Exercise Date”). Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement or this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall not, by virtue of its ownership of this Warrant, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in equity, obligated to purchase any shares of Series B Stock or subject to any liabilities on

 

2


such Holder as a stockholder of the Company; provided, however, that the Holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the Holder of record of such shares on the Exercise Date. If the exercise or exchange is for less than all of the shares of Series B Stock issuable as provided in this Warrant, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of such shares issuable hereunder to the Holder. The Holder of this Warrant, by its acceptance hereof, consents to and agrees to be bound by and to comply with all of the provisions of this Warrant.

 

4. “Cashless” Exchange. At the election of the Holder, the Holder may exchange this Warrant without a cash payment of the Exercise Price, by designating that the number of the shares of Series B Stock issuable to the Holder upon such exchange shall be reduced by the number of shares having a Current Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to the amount of the total Exercise Price for such exchange. In such instance, no cash or other consideration will be paid by the Holder in connection with such exchange other than the surrender of the Warrant itself, and no commission or other remuneration will be paid or given by the Holder or the Company in connection with such exchange. If such exchange results in only a partial exchange of this Warrant, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the remaining rights under the Warrant, as provided in Section 3 above.

 

5. Adjustments. If any of the following events shall occur at any time or from time to time prior to the exercise or exchange of the Warrant, the following adjustments shall be made in the Exercise Price and/or the number of shares then purchasable upon the exercise or exchange of the Warrant, as appropriate:

 

(a) “Stock Splits and Combinations.” In case the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof (i) subdivide or split the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iii) issue by reclassification of the shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event or the record date therefor, whichever is applicable, shall be proportionately increased or reduced, as applicable, and the aggregate number of shares for which this Warrant shall be exercisable or exchangeable shall be proportionately increased or reduced, as applicable, so that the Holder of this Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise or exchange shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Series B Stock or other securities of the Company such that the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series B Stock is convertible equals the number of shares of Common Stock which such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been surrendered for exercise or exchange, and the Series B Stock received upon such exercise or exchange been converted into shares of Common Stock, immediately prior to the occurrence of such event or the record date therefor, whichever is applicable. An adjustment made pursuant to this subparagraph (a) shall become effective at the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

 

(b) “Dividends and Distributions in Common Stock.” In case the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof pay a dividend or make a distribution payable in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Company other than dividends

 

3


or distributions of shares of Common Stock or other securities with respect to which adjustments are provided in paragraph (a) above, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying (i) the applicable Exercise Price by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore outstanding and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares issuable in such dividend or distribution. An adjustment made pursuant to this subparagraph (b) shall become effective as of the close of business on the record date of such dividend or distribution provided such plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution is not thereafter legally abandoned. The provisions of this clause shall similarly apply to successive distributions.

 

(c) “Distribution of Indebtedness, Securities or Assets.” In case the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof distribute to any holders of Common Stock (whether by dividend or in a merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, other securities, cash or assets (other than securities referred to in subparagraph (b) above or (e) below or a dividend payable exclusively in cash and other than as a result of a Fundamental Change) in respect of such holder’s Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Volume Weighted Market Value on such record date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination in good faith shall be conclusive) of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock, other securities, cash and assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which is the Volume Weighted Market Value. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such event shall occur. “Capital Stock” means as to any entity (whether a corporation, partnership or another entity), corporate stock and any and all shares, partnership interests, limited partnership interests, limited liability company interests, membership interests, equity interests, participations, rights or other equivalents (however designated) of corporate stock or any of the foregoing issued by any such entity. “Volume Weighted Market Value” means, at any date, the price per share of Common Stock which equals (i) the sum of the products, for each of the 20 trading days prior to such date, of the Closing Market Price on such date, multiplied by the volume of shares traded on such date, (ii) divided by the total volume of shares traded during the 20 trading days prior to such date. If no Closing Market Price for shares of Common Stock can be determined, the Volume Weighted Market Value shall be the fair market value thereof as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. For purposes of this definition, “Closing Market Price” means, on any trading day, the last sale price for shares of Common Stock on such day as reported in the Consolidated Last Sale Reporting System or as quoted in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System, or if such last sale price is not available, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as reported in either such system, or in any other case the higher bid price quoted for such day as reported by The Wall Street Journal and the National Quotation Bureau pink sheets.

 

(d) “Fundamental Changes”. In case of any Fundamental Change, this Warrant shall be exercisable or exchangeable for the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash and assets which the Holder of a Warrant would have owned immediately after the Fundamental Change if the Holder had exercised or exchanged the Warrant, and converted the shares of Series B Stock received upon such exercise or exchange into shares of Common Stock, immediately before the

 

4


effective date of the Fundamental Change (or anything that such stock, other securities or assets are later converted or changed into). In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the Holder of the Warrant after the Fundamental Change to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 shall be applicable after that event in a manner as nearly equivalent as practicable as before the Fundamental Change. The Company shall not consummate such Fundamental Change, unless, concurrently with the consummation of such Fundamental Change, the surviving or successor entity, if other than the Company, or the acquiror in a sale of assets of the Company, shall assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and mail to the Holder a copy thereof. “Fundamental Change” means any transaction or event, including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, reclassification, recapitalization, compulsory share exchange or liquidation, in which all or substantially all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock are converted into or exchanged for stock, other securities or assets.

 

(e) “Adjustment of Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.”

 

(i) In the event the Company shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 5(e)(ii)), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than an amount equal to (a) the Exercise Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, divided by (b) ten (the “Base Exercise Price”), then, and in each such event, the Exercise Price will be recalculated in accordance with the following formula: the Exercise Price then in effect shall be multiplied by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (“Outstanding Common Stock”) plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration (determined in the manner provided in Section 5(e)(iii)) received by the Company for such issuance would purchase at the Base Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance; and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock plus the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the foregoing calculation, the term “Outstanding Common Stock” shall include, without limitation, shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise, exchange or conversion of outstanding securities, excluding Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, exchange or conversion of options, warrants or similar rights to acquire Common Stock, at a price greater than the Volume Weighted Market Value as of the date of adjustment. “Additional Shares of Common Stock” means any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 5(e)(ii)) by the Company other than: (a) Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in Section 5(a) or 5(b), (b) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, (c) in addition to the shares of Common Stock described in (d) below, shares of Common Stock or options, warrants or similar rights to purchase shares of Common Stock, which shares are issuable or issued to employees, consultants or directors of the Company directly or pursuant to a stock option, restricted stock, employee stock purchase or similar plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, and (d) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of all securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for, or rights to purchase, shares of Common Stock validly issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.

 

5


(ii) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms or by agreement with the Company convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall be taken into account in making the adjustment:

 

(A) The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in Section 5(e)(iii)), if any, received by the Company upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock covered thereby.

 

(B) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any condition to convertibility or exchangeability, including without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments, accrual of dividends or payment of any premiums or preferences conditioned upon the occurrence of specified transactions) for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Company for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Company (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in Section 5(e)(iii)).

 

(iii) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof. In the case of the issuance of the Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company irrespective of any accounting treatment.

 

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5(e), no adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 5(e) shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price above the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(f) “Number of Shares Upon Adjustment of Exercise Price.” Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder of a Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

6. Taxes. The issuance of any Common Stock or other certificate upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the registered Holder hereof, or for any tax in respect of the issuance of such certificate, unless such tax is imposed by law upon the Holder (including, without limitation, Federal, state or local income taxes), in which case such taxes shall be paid by the Holder. The obligations of the parties under this Section shall survive any redemption, repurchase or acquisition of this Warrant or the Series B Stock issued upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant by the Company, and any cancellation or termination of this Warrant.

 

7. Transfer. Except as otherwise provided under the Agreement, this Warrant and all options and rights hereunder are transferable, as to all or any part of the number of shares of Series B Stock purchasable upon its exercise or exchange, by the Holder hereof in person or by its duly authorized attorney on the books of the Company upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal offices of the Company, together with the “Assignment Form” attached hereto duly executed. The Company shall deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant at any time as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. If this Warrant is transferred in part, the Company shall, at the time of surrender of this Warrant, issue to the transferee a Warrant covering the number of shares of Common Stock transferred and to the transferor a Warrant covering the number of shares not transferred.

 

8. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, at all times prior to the Expiration Date, reserve and keep available such number of authorized shares of its Series B Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise or exchange of this Warrant, as may from time to time be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain any authorization, consent, approval or other action by or make any filing with any court or administrative body that may be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Series B Stock upon exercise or exchange of the Warrant.

 

9. Registration of Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Stock issuable upon exercise or exchange of this warrant shall constitute Covered Warrant Common Shares (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Each Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to all of the benefits afforded to a holder of any such Covered Warrant Common Shares under the Registration Rights Agreement and such Holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to be bound by and to comply with the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to such holder as a holder of such Covered Warrant Common Shares. The Company will, at its expense, obtain promptly and maintain the approval for listing on each such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

10. Applicable Law. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY SUBMITS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION

 

7


AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION AS TO VENUE IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK. SERVICE OF PROCESS ON THE PARTIES IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE EFFECTIVE IF MAILED TO THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.04 OF THE AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS HEREUNDER.

 

11. Successors and Assigns. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Holder hereof and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. In the event this Warrant is sold, transferred or assigned, the transferor will give written notice to the Company within fifteen (15) days following such sale, transfer or assignment and in such notice designate the name and address of the transferee.

 

12. Exchange of Certificates for Warrants. This Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder, and upon surrender of such Warrant to the Company, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Series B Stock. The Holder shall make such request in a writing delivered to the Company, and must surrender the Warrant to be so exchanged. Thereupon, the Company will execute and deliver to the Holder the new Warrants so requested. The Warrant surrendered for exchange will be cancelled by the Company.

 

13. Replacement of Instruments. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate or instrument evidencing this Warrant, and (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the Holder is an institutional lender or investor, its own agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company, at its expense, shall execute, register and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new certificate or instrument for an equal number of Warrants.

 

14. Notices of Certain Events.

 

(a) In the event of (i) any setting by the Company of a record date with respect to the holders of any class of securities of the Company for the purpose of determining which of such holders are entitled to dividends or other distributions, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right; (ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification or recapitalization of the Common Stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, any other entity or Person; or (iii) any involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; then, and in each such event, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder of the Warrant at the time (as reflected in the records of the Company), a notice specifying, as the case may be: (A) the date on which any such record is to be set for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right; or (B) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer,

 

8


consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other Capital Stock or securities receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other Capital Stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such event. Any such notice shall be given, as provided in Section 8.04 of the Agreement, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date therein specified and the Holder may exercise this Warrant at any time within the fifteen (15) day period from the date of mailing of such notice.

 

(b) If there shall be any adjustment as provided in Section 5, or if the securities or property other than shares of Series B Stock of the Company shall become purchasable in lieu of shares of such Series B Stock upon exercise or exchange of the Warrant, the Company shall forthwith cause written notice thereof to be sent, as provided in Section 8.04 of the Agreement, to the Holder of this Warrant at the address of such Person shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the Holder becoming entitled to purchase such shares and the number of shares that may be purchased and the Exercise Price thereof, or the facts requiring any such adjustment and the Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable after such adjustment, or the kind and amount of any such securities or property so purchasable upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant, or the number of shares issued to the Holder as ownership protection, as the case may be. At the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, the Company shall reissue this Warrant in a form conforming to such adjustments.

 

15. Amendment and Waiver. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition in this Warrant may be amended, or compliance therewith may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), by a written instrument or written instruments executed by the Company and the Holder.

 

16. Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the Holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
