	2.	EXERCISE OF WARRANTS 

 2.1. Time of Exercise. The
Warrants may be exercised if and only if the condition set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 2.1 is satisfied, but then only with respect to Warrant Shares vested in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.1:

 (a) The Company shall have on file with the Commission a registration statement on an applicable form under the Securities Act which
registers the offering and sale of Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants and which shall have been declared effective by the Commission and shall continue to be effective as of the time of exercise of the Warrants. 
 (b) The Warrants are exercisable only with respect to Warrant Shares which shall have vested in accordance with the Plan and as follows: 
  

	 	(1)	10,000 Warrant Shares shall vest as of the last day of the month on which (a) the Agent has, as an initial step, achieved for a calendar month New Monthly Commissionable
Revenue in an amount equal to or greater than the Revenue Target at the 10,000 Warrant Share level as set forth on Schedule A hereto, and (b) the Agent has maintained New Monthly Commissionable Revenue in an amount equal to or greater than such
Revenue Target for any subsequent three consecutive calendar month period ending no later than the end of the Final Month. 

  

	(2)	[[THIS PARAGRAPH FOR USE ONLY IF WARRANT CERTIFICATE IS FOR 20,000 WARRANT SHARES] The remaining 10,000 Warrant Shares shall vest as of the last day of the month on which
(a) the Agent has, as an initial step, achieved for a calendar month New Monthly Commissionable Revenue in an amount equal to or greater than the Revenue Target at the 20,000 Warrant Share level as set forth on Schedule A hereto, and
(b) the Agent has maintained New Monthly Commissionable Revenue in an amount equal to or greater than such Revenue Target for any subsequent three consecutive calendar month period ending no later than the end of the Final Month.]


  

 3 








 (c) If the Agent fails to achieve the applicable Revenue Target for New Monthly Commissionable Revenue
and then subsequently maintain the revenue level in the manner described above during the period ending no later than the end of the Final Month, then the Agent shall forfeit the right to purchase the Warrant Shares with respect to which the vesting
requirements of Section 2.1(b) have not been satisfied and any such Warrants shall become null and void. Unvested Warrants shall also be forfeited if the Agent’s status as an appointed sales agent of the Company is terminated for any
reason. Nothing herein shall require the Company to continue doing business with the Agent or to otherwise limit the Company’s rights under the applicable Agent Agreement. 
 2.2. Manner of Exercise. At any time after the Warrants become exercisable as provided in Section 2.1 hereof until 5:00 p.m., New York time,
on the Expiration Date, Holder may exercise the Warrants by either (i) paying the Exercise Price in cash for the Warrant Shares it elects to buy, or (ii) effecting a “cashless exercise” as described below. 
 Warrants that are vested and thus exercisable may be exercised in whole or in part by the Agent’s delivery, on any Business Day until the expiration
time set forth above, of a written notice of exercise, in the form attached to this Warrant Certificate as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice should be delivered to the Company’s principal office at One PAETEC
Plaza, 600 Willowbrook Office Park, Fairport, New York 14450, or such other address as the Company may specify. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Warrants are being exercised and must be
accompanied by (i) if the Exercise Price is being paid in cash, payment in full, by certified or bank check payable to the order of the Company, of the Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares for which the Warrants are being exercised plus the
amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Company may, in its judgment, be required to withhold with respect to an award, and (ii) this Warrant Certificate. The minimum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
Warrants may be exercised at any time shall be the lesser of (x) 100 shares or such lesser number set forth in the applicable Warrant Certificate and (y) the maximum number of shares available for purchase under the Warrant Certificate at
the time of exercise. 
 Upon receipt of all of these items the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the aggregate number of full Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise as hereinafter provided (or in the event that the Company elects not to issue certificated stock, such number of uncertificated Warrant Shares shall be
registered in the name of such Holder on the Company’s books and records); provided, however, that in the event that Holder elects to effect a “cashless exercise,” the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise a
number of Warrant Shares, computed as of the date on which the Company received the Exercise Notice together with this Warrant Certificate, determined by the following formula: 
 X = Y (A-B) 
 A 
 Where X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to Holder; 
 Y = the aggregate number of Warrant Shares with respect to which Holder elected to effect a cashless 
        exercise; 
  

 4 








   A = the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock (on the date of such
calculation); and 
   B = the Exercise Price. 
 In lieu of payment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall cancel such number of Warrants which are exercisable for Warrant Shares equal to the
difference (rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares) between Y and X. The Company may require the Holder to make a cash payment to the Company in the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Company may, in its judgment, be
required to withhold with respect to an award, or the Company may, in its sole discretion, make an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares delivered pursuant to the “cashless exercise” formula to account for any such amount. 

The stock certificate or certificates so delivered or, in the event the Company does not issue certificated stock, the uncertificated shares so issued
shall be registered in the name of Holder. The Warrants shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for
all purposes, as of the date the notice, together with the Exercise Price (if applicable) and this Warrant Certificate, are received by the Company as described above. If the Warrants shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time
of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares (or the direct registration system statement in the event the Company does not issue certificated stock), deliver to Holder a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the right
of Holder to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares, which new Warrant Certificate shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant Certificate or, in the sole discretion of the Company, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant
Certificate and the same returned to Holder. 
 2.3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share
of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants. In lieu of any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon exercise, the Company, at its sole discretion, either shall round the fractional share up to the nearest
whole share of Common Stock or shall pay cash in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise. 
 2.4 Expiration Date. Unless extended in writing by the Company in its sole discretion, any vested but unexercised Warrants shall automatically expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, and
this Warrant Certificate shall be of no further force or effect. 
  

	3.	RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK 

 From and
after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares 

  

 5 








 
of Common Stock (or its authorized and issued shares of Common Stock held in treasury) as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants.
All shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of the Warrants and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to
preemptive rights. 
  

	4.	ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. 

 The
Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Warrants are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4. 
 (a) In case the Company shall at any time after the date of this Warrant Certificate (i) effect a distribution payable in shares of Common Stock to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issue any securities of the Company in a reclassification or recapitalization of the
Common Stock, then the number and kind of securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (commencing on the record date for such distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination, reclassification or recapitalization) shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the Holder of the Warrants exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of securities which, if such Warrants had been exercised in full immediately prior to such date, the
Holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such distribution, subdivision, combination, reclassification or recapitalization. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall
occur. 
 (b) Upon each adjustment of the number or kind of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable as provided in
Section 4(a) hereof, the per share Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock covered by the Warrants prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Warrants immediately after such adjustment. 
 (c) If the Company is involved in any Corporate Transaction other than a Corporate Transaction of the type described in Section 4(d), the number and
kind of securities issuable upon exercise of Warrants shall be adjusted so that the Holder of the Warrants would be entitled to receive the number and kind of securities that such Holder would have received pursuant to such Corporate Transaction if
the securities subject to such Warrants had been issued immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. For purposes of this Section 4, “Corporate Transaction” means any reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction.
In the event that the Company is not the issuer of the securities that such Holder would have so received pursuant to such Corporate Transaction, provision shall be made in writing in connection with such transaction for the assumption of the Plan
and all then-outstanding Warrants by the corporation or entity that is the issuer of such securities. From and after any such assumption, unless the context otherwise requires (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company 

  

 6 








 
in good faith), references in the Plan and each outstanding Warrant to the “Company” or “PAETEC Holding Corp.” shall be deemed to be
references to such issuer, and such references and the other provisions of the Plan and such Warrants shall be interpreted so as to maintain the interests of the Holders intended by the Plan as of the date hereof and by each such Warrant as of its
date. Upon each adjustment of the number or kind of securities for which the Warrants are exercisable as provided in this paragraph, the per share Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be appropriately and proportionately
adjusted, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or the board of directors of such issuer in good faith. 
 (d) In the event
of any Corporate Transaction in which the consideration that the Holder of the Warrants would have received pursuant to such Corporate Transaction if the securities subject to the Warrant had been issued immediately prior to such Corporate
Transaction is cash or other property that is not securities, all outstanding but unexercised Warrants will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction. Any exercise of a Warrant during the 15-day period immediately
prior to the consummation of any such Corporate Transaction shall be conditioned, at the Holder’s discretion, on the consummation of the Corporate Transaction and shall be effective only immediately before such consummation. 
  

	5.	RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER 

 Neither this Warrant
Certificate nor the rights evidenced hereby may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Holder without the prior written consent of the Company, and any attempted transfer without prior written consent will be void. 

 

	6.	LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION 

 Upon receipt by
the Company from any Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate and indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company and reimbursement
to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor
to such Holder; provided that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity or security shall be required if this Warrant Certificate in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation. 
  

	7.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER 

 No
provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price of
any Warrant Shares or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. 
 Prior to the exercise of the Warrants and the date of the stock certificate representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise (or, in the case of uncertificated stock, the registering of such stock on the Company’s books and
records), the Holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, 

  

 7 








 
shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to, or be deemed for any purpose the holder of, shares for which the
Warrants shall be exercisable, including without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends or other distributions, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein.
