Common Stock Purchase Warrant
-----------------------------
Bottomline Technologies (de), Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
for value received, hereby certifies that Citibank, N.A. or its registered
assigns (the "Registered Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time on or
before (i) the closing of a Sale of the Company (as defined in Section 2(e)) or
(ii) the third anniversary of the date of issuance of this Warrant, 324,000
shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Company, at a purchase
price of $55.00 per share. The shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant,
and the purchase price per share, each as adjusted from time to time pursuant to
the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the "Warrant
Shares" and the "Purchase Price," respectively.
1. Exercise.
---------
(a) This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole
or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto
as Exhibit I duly executed by the Registered Holder or by the Registered
Holder's duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at
such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment
in full, in lawful money of the United States, of the Purchase Price payable in
respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.
(b) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been
effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this
Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection
1(a) above (the "Exercise Date"). At such time, the person or persons in whose
name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such
exercise as provided in subsection 1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the
holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such
certificates.
(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full
or in part, and in any event within 10 days thereafter, the Company, at its
expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the
Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant
Shares to which the Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus,
in lieu of any fractional share to
-1-
which the Registered Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount
determined pursuant to Section 3 hereof; and
(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants
(dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or
faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to
any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of
this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder
upon such exercise.
2. Adjustments.
-----------
(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall
--------------------------------------------
at any time or from time to time after the date on which this Warrant was first
issued (the "Original Issue Date") effect a subdivision of the outstanding
Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that
subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time
or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the
combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this
paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the
subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event
--------------------------------------------------
the Company at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date
shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase
Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the
time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed,
as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Purchase
Price then in effect by a fraction:
(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of
such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and
(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time
of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend
or distribution;
provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend
is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed
therefor, the Purchase Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of
business on such record date and thereafter the Purchase Price shall be adjusted
pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or
distributions.
(c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is
--------------------------------------
required to be made in the Purchase Price pursuant to subsections 2(a) or 2(b),
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the
number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect
-2-
immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect
immediately after such adjustment.
(d) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event
-------------------------------------------------
the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall
make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
securities of the Company (other than shares of Common Stock) or in cash or
other property (other than cash out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), then and in each such
event provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder shall receive upon
exercise hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of the Company and/or cash and
other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive
had this Warrant been exercised into Common Stock on the date of such event and
had the Registered Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such
event to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such securities
receivable, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period
under this Section 2 with respect to the rights of the Registered Holder.
(e) Adjustment for Mergers or Reorganizations, etc. If there shall
----------------------------------------------
occur any reorganization, recapitalization or consolidation involving the
Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities,
cash or other property (other than a Sale of the Company transaction (as defied
below) or a transaction covered by subsections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(d)), then,
following any such reorganization, recapitalization or consolidation, the
Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been
entitled to receive if, immediately prior to such reorganization,
recapitalization or consolidation, the Registered Holder had held the number of
shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant. In any such case, appropriate
adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein
with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder, to
the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 2 (including provisions
with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Purchase Price) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any
securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of
this Warrant. For the purpposes hereof, a "Sale of the Company" shall mean (i)
the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or
(ii) the acquisition of the Company by means of a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or recapitalization unless the owners of the capital stock of the
Company before such transaction continue to own after such transaction more than
50% of the capital stock of the acquiring or succeeding entity in substantially
the same proportions as held prior to such transaction.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
-----------------------------
adjustment or readjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the
Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Registered Holder a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind
and amount of securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be
exercisable and the Purchase Price) and showing in detail the facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written
request at any time of the Registered Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished
to the Registered Holder a certificate
-3-
setting forth (i) the Purchase Price then in effect and (ii) the number of
shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or
property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.
3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required upon the exercise
-----------------
of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall make an adjustment
therefor in cash on the basis of the fair market value per share of Common Stock
on the date of exercise.
4. Requirements for Transfer.
-------------------------
(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall not be sold or
transferred unless either (i) they first shall have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or (ii) the Company first shall
have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Act.
(b) Each certificate representing Warrant Shares shall bear a legend
substantially in the following form:
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may
not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred, pledged or
hypothecated unless and until such securities are registered
under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company is obtained to the effect that such registration is not
required."
The foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing
any Warrant Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time as they
become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act.
5. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or
-------------
through reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but
will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and
in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against impairment.
6. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event:
----------------------------
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
(or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend
or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other
right; or
(b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company
with or into
-4-
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the surviving entity and its Common Stock is not converted into or exchanged
for any other securities or property), or any transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company; or
(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company,
then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Registered Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date
for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, 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 stock or
securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten days prior
to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.
7. Reservation of Stock. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
--------------------
available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant,
such number of Warrant Shares and other securities, cash and/or property, as
from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
8. Exchange of Warrants. Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder,
--------------------
properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal office of the Company, the
Company will, subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, issue and deliver
to or upon the order of such Holder, at the Company's expense, a new Warrant or
Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Registered Holder or as the
Registered Holder (upon payment by the Registered Holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces
thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash
and/or property) then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
9. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
-----------------------
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an
indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant of like tenor.
10. Transfers, etc.
--------------
(a) The Company will maintain a register containing the name and
address of the Registered Holder of this Warrant. The Registered Holder may
change its or his address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to
the Company requesting such change.
-5-
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of
this Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit II
hereto) at the principal office of the Company.
(c) Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant
register, the Company may treat the Registered Holder as the absolute owner
hereof for all purposes; provided, however, that if and when this Warrant is
properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to)
treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
11. Mailing of Notices, etc. All notices and other communications from the
-----------------------
Company to the Registered Holder shall be mailed by first-class certified or
registered mail, postage prepaid, to the address last furnished to the Company
in writing by the Registered Holder. All notices and other communications from
the Registered Holder or in connection herewith to the Company shall be mailed
by first-class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Company at
its principal office set forth below. If the Company should at any time change
the location of its principal office to a place other than as set forth below,
it shall give prompt written notice to the Registered Holder and thereafter all
references in this Warrant to the location of its principal office at the
particular time shall be as so specified in such notice.
12. No Rights as Stockholder. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the
------------------------
Registered Holder shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a
stockholder of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event (i) the
Company effects a split of the Common Stock by means of a stock dividend and the
Purchase Price of and the number of Warrant Shares are adjusted as of the date
of the distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such
dividend), and (ii) the Registered Holder exercises this Warrant between the
record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend, the Registered
Holder shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the stock
dividend with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise,
notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of the close
of business on the record date for such stock dividend.
13. Change or Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be changed or waived
----------------
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement
of the change or waiver is sought.
14. Section Headings. The section headings in this Warrant are for the
----------------
convenience of the parties and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict
the contractual obligations of the parties.
15. Governing Law. This Warrant will be governed by and construed in
-------------
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without reference to
the conflicts of law provisions thereof).
