CAPITAL GROWTH SYSTEMS, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE
 
UP TO 2,660,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
 
Void after March [__], 2013, Unless Extended
 
Capital Growth Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), hereby
certifies that, for value received, CapStone Investments (including any
successors and assigns, “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
below, to purchase from the Company at any time or from time to time before 5:00
PM Central time, on March [__], 2013 (the “Expiration Date”), fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par value Common Stock (the
“Warrant Shares”) under the terms set forth herein
 
1. Number of Warrant Shares; Exercise Price. This Warrant shall evidence the
right of the Holder to purchase up to 2,660,000 Warrant Shares (which number of
Warrant Shares will remain fixed and is not subject to any adjustment except as
provided in Section 5 below) at an initial exercise price per Warrant Share of
$0.73 per share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 5 below.
 
2. Definitions. As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise
requires, have the following respective meanings:
 
(a) The term “Common Stock” shall mean the common stock, par value $0.0001 of
the Company.
 
(b) The term “Company” shall mean Capital Growth Systems, Inc., a Florida
corporation, and shall include any company which shall succeed to or assume the
obligations of the Company hereunder.
 
(c) The term “Corporate Transaction” shall mean (i) a sale, lease transfer or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (ii) a
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into,
another corporation or other business entity in which the stockholders of the
Company immediately prior to such consolidation or merger own less than 50% of
the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such consolidation or
merger; or (iii) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the
Company is a party in which in excess of 50% of the Company’s voting power is
transferred, excluding any consolidation or merger effected exclusively to
change the domicile of the Company and/or an effective change of the number of
issued and outstanding shares of the Company (i.e., reverse or forward split).
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
3. Exercise Date; Expiration. Subject to the terms hereof, this Warrant may be
exercised by the Holder at any time or from time to time before the Expiration
Date (the “Exercise Period”).
 
4. Exercise of Warrant; Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in full
or in part by the Holder by: (i) surrender of this Warrant, together with the
Holder’s duly executed form of subscription attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the
Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment, in cash or by certified
or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, of the aggregate
exercise price (as determined above) of the number of Warrant Shares to be
purchased hereunder (with a replacement warrant to be issued as necessary to
reflect the unexercised portion of this Warrant if exercised in part and not in
full); or (ii) by way of cashless exercise as provided in Section 6 of this
Warrant. The exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 4 shall be deemed
to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the business
day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in this
Section 4, and at such time the person in whose name any certificate for Warrant
Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to be the record
holder of such Warrant Shares for all purposes. As soon as practicable after the
exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in
the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a
certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable full
shares of Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise,
together with cash, in lieu of any fraction of a share, equal to such fraction
of the current fair market value of one full Warrant Share as determined in good
faith by the board of directors of the Company and as set forth in Section 7,
and, if applicable, a new warrant evidencing the balance of the shares remaining
subject to the Warrant.
 
5. Adjustments to Number of Warrants and Conversion Price. The number and kind
of Warrant Shares or any shares of stock or other securities which may be
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the exercise price hereunder
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain
events, as follows:
 
(a) Splits and Subdivisions. In the event the Company should at any time or from
time to time fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or
rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or
indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock, with the entitlement for the
holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common
Stock, hereinafter referred to as the “Common Stock Equivalents”) without
payment of any consideration by such Holder for the additional shares of Common
Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents, then, as of such record date (or the date
of such distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the
Exercise Price shall be appropriately decreased and the number of Warrant Shares
for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be appropriately increased in
proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.
 
 
2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(b) Combination of Shares. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
increased and the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable
shall be appropriately decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding
shares.
 
(c) Reclassification or Reorganization. If the Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or different number of
shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization,
reclassification or otherwise (other than a split, subdivision or stock dividend
provided for in Section 5(a) above or a combination of shares provided for in
Section 5(b) above, or a reorganization, merger or consolidation provided for in
Section 5(d) below, then and in each such event the Holder shall be entitled to
receive upon the exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization,
reclassification or other change, to which a holder of the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant would have received if this
Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization,
reclassification or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided
herein.
 
(d) Corporate Transaction. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a
Corporate Transaction of the Company, the Company shall provide to the Holder
not less than thirty (30) days advance written Notice of such Corporate
Transaction. In the event that as a result of the Corporate Transaction the
Company shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of an entity not wholly owned by
the existing shareholders and existing warrant holders and option holders of the
Company immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, then effective as of the
date of such Corporate Transaction, this Warrant shall lapse.
 
(e) Notice of Record Dates; Adjustments. The Company shall promptly notify the
Holder in writing of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price
hereunder and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant. Such Notice shall state the adjustment or readjustment and show in
reasonable detail the facts on which that adjustment or readjustment is based,
as well as whether this Warrant will be cancelable as specified above.
 
6. Cashless Exercise. In all events, Holder shall have the right to effect a
cashless exercise of the shares subject to this Warrant pursuant to the
following process.
 
(a) Upon execution of the cashless exercise of the shares subject to this
Warrant (the “Converted Warrant Shares”), the Company shall deliver to the
Holder (without payment by the Holder of any exercise price or any cash or other
consideration) that number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares
computed using the following formula:
 
 
3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

 
X =
Y (A - B)
     
A
 

 
Where:
X =
the number of shares of Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder;
   
Y =
the number of Converted Warrant Shares;
   
A =
the fair market value of one Warrant Share on the Conversion Date (as defined
below); and
   
B =
the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the Conversion Date).

(b) No fractional shares shall be issuable upon cashless exercise of the
Warrant, and if the number of shares to be issued, determined in accordance with
the foregoing formula, is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay to
the Holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the resulting
fractional share on the Conversion Date (as defined below).
 
(i) Method of Exercise. The Holder may execute the cashless exercise by the
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with a
written statement specifying that the Holder thereby intends to execute a
cashless exercise and indicating the total number of shares under this Warrant
that the Holder is exercising through the cashless exercise. Such conversion
shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant together with the
aforesaid written statement, or on such later date as is specified therein (the
“Conversion Date”). Certificates for the shares issuable upon execution of the
cashless exercise shall be delivered to the Holder within three business days
following the Conversion Date.
 
(ii) Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 6, fair
market value of a Warrant Share on the Conversion Date shall be determined as
follows:
 
(1) If the Common Stock is traded on a stock exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market
(or a similar national quotation system), the fair market value of a Warrant
Share shall be deemed to be the average of the closing selling prices of the
Common Stock on the stock exchange or system determined by the Board to be the
primary market for the Common Stock over the ten (10) trading day period ending
on the date prior to the Conversion Date, as such prices are officially quoted
in the composite tape of transactions on such exchange or system;
 
(2) If the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, the fair market value of a
Warrant Share shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices (or,
if such information is available, the closing selling prices) of the Common
Stock over the ten (10) trading day period ending on the date prior to the
Conversion Date, as such prices are reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers through its NASDAQ system or any successor system; and
 
 
4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(3) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then the fair market
value of a Warrant Share shall be determined by the board of directors of the
Company in good faith, and, upon request of the Holder, the Board (or a
representative thereof) shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any
event not later than 15 days after such request, notify the Holder of the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock.
 
7. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt by the Company 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 of this
Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver to the Holder, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
 
8. No Rights or Liability as a Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the
Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder as a
stockholder of the Company.
 
9. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through
reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets 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 carry out all such terms and
take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against impairment, subject to
any amendment or waiver as permitted pursuant to Section 10(e).
 
10. Miscellaneous.
 
(a) Transfer of Warrant. The Holder agrees not to make any disposition of this
Warrant, the Warrant Shares or any rights hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Company. Any such permitted transfer must be made by the Holder
in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the
form of assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B to any such permitted
transferee. As a condition precedent to such transfer, the transferee shall sign
an investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Company. Subject
to the foregoing, the provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon any successor to the Company and shall extend to any holder
hereof.
 
(b) Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Warrant are for
convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this
Warrant.
 
 
5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(c) Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given to a party pursuant to
the provisions of this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be effective and
deemed delivered to such party under this Warrant on the earliest of the
following: (a) the date of personal delivery; (b) two (2) business days after
transmission by facsimile, addressed to the other party at its facsimile number,
with confirmation of transmission; (c) four (4) business days after deposit with

charges prepaid and properly addressed to such party at the address set forth on
the signature page hereto, or at such other address as such party may designate
by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other party hereto. Notices to
the Company will be marked “Attention: Chief Financial Officer.”
 
(d) Attorneys’ Fees. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce
or interpret the terms of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled
to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements in addition to any other
relief to which such party may be entitled.
 
(e) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Warrant may be amended and the
observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written
consent of the Holder and the Company. Any amendment or waiver effected in
accordance with this Section 10(e) shall be binding upon the Holder of this
Warrant (and of any securities into which this Warrant is convertible), each
future holder of all such securities, and the Company.
 
(f) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Warrant are held to be
unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this
Warrant and the balance of the Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision
were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
 
(g) Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to
its conflicts of laws principles.
 
(h) Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
