THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES PURCHASABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS SECURITIES LAW.

This Warrant for Purchase of Series G Automatically Converting Preferred Stock (this “Warrant”) is being purchased in connection with the Holder’s (as defined below) investment in shares of Series G Automatically Converting Preferred Stock, $.001 par value (“Series G Preferred”) being offered by theglobe.com, inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to the terms of a Private Placement Term Sheet dated on or about June 19, 2003 (the “Series G Preferred Offering”). 




THIS INSTRUMENT certifies that, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, __________________________, a ___________________________ with an address at _________________________________________ (the "Holder"), or his registered permitted assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant, to purchase from the Company, ______(  ) shares of the Company’s Series G Preferred, commencing immediately, and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on July 2, 2008 (the “Warrant Expiration Date”), for an exercise price per share of Series G Preferred equal to the product of (x) 1,000 multiplied by (y) one dollar and thirty-nine cents ($1.39), such product being referred to herein as (the “Series G Exercise Price”).  “Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in the State of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.




Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and at such time as the Company files an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares (the “Capital Amendment”), this Warrant will automatically and without any action by any party cease to be exercisable for shares of Series G Preferred.  From and after the occurrence of the Capital Amendment until the Warrant Expiration Date, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number of shares of the Company’s common 







1

B.

Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.  If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Series G Preferred issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.C.), in any such event the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the maximum number of shares of Series G Preferred into which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof. 

C.

Adjustment for Capital Events.  If any reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into a corporation or other entity, or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets to a corporation or other entity (in any instance, a "Capital Event") shall be effected in such a way that holders of any shares of Series G Preferred shall be entitled to receive shares of stock, securities or assets or cash or other consideration of value with respect to or in exchange for their shares of Series G Preferred, then, as a condition of such Capital Event, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and

conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of the shares of Series G Preferred immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, an amount of the same or similar shares of stock, securities or assets as may have been issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of Series G Preferred equal to the number of Shares of Series G Preferred immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby as if such exercise occurred immediately prior to the Capital Event.

Adjustments for Subdivision, Dividends, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock.

(i)

If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date effect a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.

(ii)

If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the Common Stock Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.

a.

In the case of any such dividend, such proportionate decrease in the Common Stock Exercise Price shall take effect immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend.

b.

In the case of any such subdivision, such proportionate decrease in the Common Stock Exercise Price shall take effect at the close of business on the date immediately prior to the date upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

B.

If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date makes, or fixes 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 







4











other than shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder hereof shall receive upon exercise hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable hereunder, the amount of other securities of the Company that it would have received had this Warrant been exercised for Common Stock on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the exercise date, retained such securities, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the Holder hereof or with respect to such other securities by their terms.

Waiver and Modification.  The terms of this Warrant may be waived or modified either by mutual agreement of the Company and the Holder, or without the agreement of the Holder if the Company and the holders of at least eighty (80) percent of the number of securities issuable upon the exercise of all then outstanding warrants issued pursuant to the Series G Preferred Offering agree to such waiver or modification with respect to such warrants owned by them.
