The principal indebtedness converted pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the accrued interest converted pursuant to the New Purchase Agreement constituted indebtedness and accrued interest, respectively, under FiberNet's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2001 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time on or prior to the date hereof, the "Credit Agreement"), among FiberNet Operations, Inc., Devnet, L.L.C., the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as lenders, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, Toronto Dominion (USA) Securities Inc., as syndication agent, and Wachovia, as documentation agent.

Wachovia understands that the other Group Members own certain other shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock; however, such other shares and warrants are not subject to the Amended and Restated Investor's Rights Agreement nor the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, and accordingly, Wachovia does not share voting or dispositive power with respect thereto.

Item 4 Purpose of Transaction.

Each Group Member executed the Purchase Agreement, and acquired shares of Common Stock and warrants thereunder, in connection with the conversion of a total amount of $66,000,000 of principal indebtedness under the Credit Agreement. Each Group Member also executed the New Purchase Agreement, and acquired shares of Common Stock and warrants thereunder, in connection with the conversion of a total amount of $2,000,000 of accrued interest on indebtedness under the Credit Agreement. In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, each Group Member entered into an Investor's Rights Agreement pursuant to which FiberNet granted to each Group Member certain registration and preemptive rights, and each Group Member consented to certain transfer restrictions on the shares of Common Stock and warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any exercise of such warrants. In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Fiber Net and the Group Members (other than Nortel) entered into a Stockholders Agreement pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to take certain actions to (a) cause two individuals approved by a majority in interest of such Group Members to be elected to FiberNet's board of directors and (b) change the number of directors constituting FiberNet's entire board of directors upon the request of a majority in interest of such Group Members. In connection with the execution of the New Purchase Agreement, the Investor's Rights Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement were amended and restated in order to cover the shares of Common Stock and warrants issued pursuant to the New Purchase Agreement. The complete text of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement and the Amended and Restated Investor's Rights Agreement is included in the exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5 Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Wachovia acquired an aggregate of 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 27,500,000 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the New Purchase Agreement, Wachovia acquired an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, Wachovia owns warrants of the Company to purchase an aggregate of 566,666 shares of Common Stock (these warrants were issued to Wachovia when it was known as First Union Investors, Inc.). Based upon information provided by FiberNet, such securities represent approximately 14.7% of the fully diluted number of issued and outstanding shares of FiberNet's Common Stock.

For description of the shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock owned by the other Group Members, please see Item 3.

(b) Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, Deutsche Bank, Wachovia, Bank One, IBM and TD share voting power with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued to each such entity pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the New Purchase Agreement or issuable upon any exercise of the warrants received by each such entity pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the New Purchase Agreement. Nortel has sole voting power of the shares of Common Stock it received pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the New Purchase Agreement or issuable upon any exercise of the warrants it received pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the New Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Investor's Rights Agreement, each Group Member has agreed to certain transfer restrictions on the shares of Common Stock it received pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the New Purchase Agreement or issuable upon any exercise of the warrants it received pursuant to the Purcha se Agreement and the New Purchase Agreement. The complete text of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement and the Amended and Restated Investor's Rights Agreement is included in the exhibits hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

        3. Liquidated Damages.
        4. If (i) the Shelf Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, or (iii) prior to the sale of all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement, the Shelf Registration Statement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded within two Business Days by a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself declared effective within five Business Days of filing such post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), a "Registration Default"), then the Company hereby agrees to pay to each record holder of Registrable Securities liquidated damages ("Liquidated Damages") for the period duri ng which such Registration Default continues at a per annum rate of 6% (or, for any period of time during which such Registration Default continues after June 30, 2004, 8%) of the Purchase Price of such Registrable Securities. Liquidated Damages shall be paid in shares of Common Stock at a per share rate equal to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (1) upon filing of the Shelf Registration Statement, (2) upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, or (3) upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement that causes the Shelf Registration Statement to again be declared effective or made usable, the Liquidated Damages payable with respect to the Registrable Securities as a result of such clause (i), (ii), or (iii), as applicable, shall cease to accrue. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(b), if a Registration Default shall have occurred in connection with the Company's exercise of its rights unde r Section 2.1(c) hereof, such Registration Default shall not be deemed to occur until one Business Day following the termination of the postponement or suspension permitted pursuant to such Section 2.1(c).

          All accrued Liquidated Damages shall be paid to the holders of Registrable Securities entitled thereto on the last Business Day of each month in which such Liquidated Damages accrued. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which Liquidated Damages are due cease to be Registrable Securities, all obligations of the Company to pay Liquidated Damages with respect to securities shall survive until such time as such obligations with respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full.

        5. Postponing Or Suspending Filing Or Effectiveness Of A Registration Statement.

        If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the Company which the Company's Board of Directors reasonably determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant business opportunity (including the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to the Company which such Board of Directors reasonably determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose, then the Company may postpone or suspend filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive days, provided that the Company may not postpone or suspend its obligation under this Section 2.1(c) for more than 45 days in the aggregate during any 12 month period; provided, however, that no such postponement or suspension shall be permitted for consecutive 20 day periods, arising out of the same set of facts, circumstances or transactions.

      2. Company Registration.
        1. Initiation. If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Investors) any of its stock in connection with a public offering of such securities for cash (other than an Exempt Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Investor notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Investor given within 20 days after receipt by such Investor of the Company's notice, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(b), cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Investor has requested to be registered.
        2. Underwritten Offering. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 2.2(a) to include an Investor's securities in such underwriting unless such Investor accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters advise the Company in writing will not adversely affect the marketing of the Company's capital stock. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the maximum amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine would not adversely affect the marketing of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Regist rable Securities, which the underwriters determine would not adversely affect the marketing of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata (to the nearest 100 shares) among the selling stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling stockholders). For purposes of the preceding apportionment, for any participating Investor that is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners, retired partners, members, retired members and stockholders of such Investor, or the estates and family members of any such partners, members, retired partners or members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "selling stockholder," and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such "selling stockholder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all persons included in such "selling stockholder," as defined in this sentence.

      3. Obligations of the Company
      4. . Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, in addition to any other obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

        1. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.
        2. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act.
        3. Furnish to the Investors such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
        4. Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investors, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
        5. In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter of such offering in usual and customary form and consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement. Each Investor participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
        6. Promptly notify each Investor of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement at any time when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the registration statement or the prospectus included in such registration statement or any supplement to the prospectus (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such time period to amend or supplement the registration statement or the prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act, whereupon, in either case, each Investor shall immediately cease to use such registration statement or prospectus for any purpose and, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, and furnish without ch arge to the appropriate Investors and managing underwriters, if any, a supplement or amendment to such registration statement or prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and such copies thereof as the Investors and any underwriters may reasonably request.
        7. Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed, if applicable.
        8. Provide a transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.
        9. Use its reasonable best efforts, after the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act qualifying a public offering of Registrable Securities held by an Investor, to issue and deliver, upon delivery of a certificate representing shares of Registrable Securities held by such Investor, that number of Registrable Securities represented by such certificate to the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") account on the Investor's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System ("DWAC").
        10. Use its reasonable best efforts to furnish, at the request of any Investor requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to Section 2.2, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Investors requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given b y independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Investors requesting registration of Registrable Securities (to the extent the then applicable standards of professional conduct permit said letter to be addressed to the Investors).

      5. Furnish Information
      6. . It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Investor's Registrable Securities.

      7. Expenses of Registration
      8. . All expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations initiated pursuant to this Section 2, including all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one special counsel for the selling Investors selected by Investors selling a majority of the subject Registrable Securities with the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall be borne by the Company.

      9. Delay of Registration
      10. . No Investor shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

      11. Indemnification
      12. . In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

        1. Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Investor, and each person, if any, who controls such Investor or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, brokers, investment advisors, employees, legal counsel, accountants, and agents (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to each such Indemnified Person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in se ttlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable to any Indemnified Person for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises solely out of or is based solely upon a Violation which occurs in reasonable reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration, by such Indemnified Person.
        2. Indemnification by the Investors. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Investor selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Investor, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs solely in reliance upon and in co nformity with written information furnished by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Investor will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.7(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Investor.
        3. Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.7, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.7. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settle ment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 2.7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the indemnifying party.
        4. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by an Investor under this Section 2.7(d) exceed the net proceeds from t he offering received by such Investor. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
        5. Underwriting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
        6. Survival. The obligations of the Company and Investors under this Section 2.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 2, and otherwise.

      13. Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934
      14. . With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit an Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

        1. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times for so long as the Company remains subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
        2. take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the Investors to use Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities;
        3. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents as may be required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
        4. furnish to any Investor, so long as the Investor owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company whether it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

      15. Assignment of Registration Rights
      16. . The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted Investors under Section 2 may be assigned to any Permitted Transferee or any transferee or assignee in connection with the transfer or assignment of all or any portion of such Investor's Registrable Securities; provided, that (a) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions on transfer applicable to such shares, (b) notice of such assignment is given to the Company and (c) such transferee or assignee agrees to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement.

      17. Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights
      18. . From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Investors holding at least a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Section 2 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of its securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Investors which is included or (b) except pursuant to the New Equity Registration Rights Agreement, to make a demand registration which could result in such registration statement being declared effective within 120 days after the effective date of any registration effected pursuant to Section 2.

      19. Market-Standoff Agreement.
        1. Market-Standoff Period; Agreement. In connection with a Qualified Public Offering of the Company's equity securities for cash subsequent to the date herein and upon request of the underwriters managing such offering of the Company's securities, each Investor hereby agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company (other than any disposed of in the registration and those acquired by the Investor in the registration or thereafter in open market transactions) without the prior written consent of such underwriters, for such period of time (not to exceed (i) 180 days with respect to the next Qualified Public Offering and (ii) 90 days with respect to each other Qualified Public Offering, or in each case such shorter period as the Company agrees to with any other person) from the effective da te of such registration as may be requested by such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of such Qualified Public Offering.
        2. Limitations. The obligations described in Section 2.11(a) shall apply only if and to the extent that all officers and directors of the Company enter into similar agreements. If any standoff or lockup restrictions imposed on any holder of securities of the Company is waived or terminated, then such waiver or termination shall be granted to all Investors subject to standoff or lockup restrictions pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially held by such holder and the Investors. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that all holders of capital stock of the Company agree to be bound by terms substantially similar to those set forth in this Section 2.11.
        3. Stop-Transfer Instructions. In order to enforce the foregoing covenants, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the securities of each Investor (and the securities of every other person subject to the restrictions in Section 2.11(a)).

      20. Termination of Registration Rights

      . No Investor shall be entitled to exercise any registration right provided for in this Section 2 after the earlier of (a) such time as Rule 144 is available for the sale of all of such Investor's Registrable Securities during a three-month period without registration, without reference to Rule 144(k) and (b) 2 years after the consummation of the Company's next Qualified Public Offering.

    4. Transfer Restrictions

      1. Restrictions on Transfer
      2. .

Each Investor's pro rata share is equal to the ratio of (a) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock (including all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of securities of the Company) which such Investor holds immediately prior to the issuance of such Equity Securities to (b) the total number of shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock (including all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of securities of the Company) immediately prior to the issuance of the Equity Securities.

Each Investor shall have 5 Business Days from the receipt of such notice to agree to purchase its pro rata share of the Equity Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of Equity Securities to be purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to offer or sell such Equity Securities to any Investor who would cause the Company to be in violation of applicable federal securities laws by virtue of such offer or sale,
        3. Excluded Securities. The rights of first offer established by this Section 3 shall have no application to any of the following Equity Securities:
          1. up to 100,441,177 shares of Common Stock, and/or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights and the Common Stock issued pursuant to such options, warrants or other rights (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like), issued to employees, officers, directors or strategic partners of, or consultants, advisors, lenders, vendors or lessors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plans or pursuant to other similar arrangements that are approved by the Board of Directors (including the representatives of the Investors);

The Company shall be obligated to reissue promptly certificates not having the second paragraph of the legend set forth above at the request of any holder of a security legended pursuant to this Section 4.1 if such holder is not a party to this Agreement or a person who is an Investor or transferee of an Investor hereunder.

      3. Entire Agreement
      4. . This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and any and all other written or oral agreements relating to the subject matter hereof existing among any of the parties hereto are expressly canceled.

      15. Delays or Omissions; Remedies Cumulative
      16. . No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.

FIBERNET TELECOM GROUP, INC.
FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED
STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT

This First Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of November 11, 2002, between FiberNet Telecom Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and the investors listed on Exhibit A hereto, each of which is herein referred to as an "Investor".

RECITALS

Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement among the Company and the Investors dated October 30, 2002 (the "Old Purchase Agreement"), the Investors purchased from the Company, and the Company sold to the Investors, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and warrants of the Company to purchase shares of Common Stock (the "Old Warrants");

The Company and the Investors have entered into a Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") of even date herewith pursuant to which the Company desires to sell to the Investors, and the Investors desire to purchase from the Company, shares of the Company's Common Stock and warrants to purchase an additional amount of such shares (the "New Warrants" and together with the Old Warrants, the "Warrants"). A condition to the Investors' obligations under the Purchase Agreement is that the Company and the Investors enter into this Agreement in order to provide the Investors with certain rights with respect to the Company's Common Stock. The Company desires to induce the Investors to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

The parties agree as follows:

  1. Covenants
    1. Negative Covenants with Other Holders of Common Stock

    . The Company shall not enter into any agreement with an existing or future investor acquiring shares of the Company's Common Stock in connection with such investor's investment that has the effect of establishing any material rights or otherwise providing any material benefits for such investor that have not been received by the Investors under this Agreement, the Old Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, or the First Amended and Restated Investors Rights Agreement entered into concurrently herewith, unless, in any such case, each Investor has been offered the opportunity to receive, for no additional consideration, such rights and the benefits of such agreement.

  2. Voting
    1. Election of Directors
    2. . At any annual or special shareholders meeting, and whenever the shareholders of the Company act by written consent with respect to election of directors, each Investor agrees to vote or otherwise give such Investor's consent in respect of all shares of the Company's Common Stock acquired by such Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or Old Purchase Agreement or upon any exercise of any Warrants, and the Company shall take all necessary and desirable actions within its control, in order to cause:

      1. the election to the Board of two Independent Individuals (as defined below) approved by Investors holding shares of the Company's capital stock entitled to cast a majority of the total number of votes entitled to be cast by all Investors in the election of directors to the Company's Board of Directors (the "Majority Investors");
      2. the authorized number of directors of the Board as set forth in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or other similar document (in each case, as amended, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time) of the Company and/or the Bylaws of the Company to remain at six or such other number as the Majority Investors may specify from time to time in a notice delivered to the Company and the other Investors;
      3. the removal from the Board (with or without cause) of any director approved hereunder by the Majority Investors, upon the written request of the Majority Investors for the removal of such director, but only upon such written request; provided, however, that the removal of any director for cause or otherwise shall not prejudice the right of the Majority Investors to nominate pursuant to this Agreement a substitute director to fill the vacancy created by such removal; and
      4. upon any vacancy in the Board as a result of any individual approved as provided in clause (1) above ceasing to be a member of the Board, whether by resignation, removal or otherwise, the election to the Board of an individual approved by the Majority Investors.

    For purposes of this Agreement, an "Independent Individual" shall mean any natural person who upon election to the Board will be an "independent director" within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the primary national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which shares of the Company's Common Stock are traded.

  3. Miscellaneous.
    1. Legends
    2. . Each certificate representing shares of Common Stock held by an Investor or any subsequent holder of such shares to which rights under this Agreement are transferred pursuant to the terms of Section III.H shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

      "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AN AGREEMENT WHICH PLACES CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE VOTING OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY. ANY PERSON ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT. A COPY OF SUCH VOTING AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE RECORD HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE WITHOUT CHARGE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS."

      The Company agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it will not remove, and will not permit to be removed (upon registration of transfer, reissuance or otherwise), the legend set forth above from any such certificate and will place or cause to be placed such legend on any new certificate issued to represent shares of Common Stock held by the Investors and such transferees theretofore represented by a certificate carrying such legend. At any time after the termination of the Company's and the Investors' obligations under Section II of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section III.B and in connection with any transfer of the shares evidenced by a certificate legended pursuant to this Section III.A, any holder of a stock certificate so legended may surrender such certificate to the Company for removal of such legend, and the Company will duly reissue a new certificate without such legend.

    3. Termination of Covenants
    4. . All covenants of the Company and the Investors contained in Section I and Section II of this Agreement shall expire and terminate upon the earliest of,

      1. the closing of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the First Amended and Restated Investor's Rights Agreement, dated November 11, 2002, between the Company and the Investors), or
      2. (i) the sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than 50% of the Company's voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, 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 (a "Change in Control"), or
      3. the date upon which the aggregate securities of the Company then held by the Investors that are a party to this Agreement on the date hereof comprise less than 30% of the Company's Common Stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis.
    5. Attendance at Meetings
    6. . Each of the Investors agrees to be present, either in person or by proxy, at all meetings of shareholders of the Company at which one or more members of the Board are to be elected, so that all shares held by such Investor may be voted for the election of the directors as set forth herein; provided, that the Company shall have given notice of such meeting to each Investor not less than 10 days prior to the date of such meeting (unless waived in writing by such person). Each Investor may abstain from voting at all such meetings with respect to any matter except for the election of directors.

    7. Further Assurances
    8. . The Company agrees to take all actions required to ensure that the rights given to the parties hereunder are effective and that they enjoy the benefits thereof. The Company will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Agreement and in the taking of all such actions as may be appropriate in order to protect the rights of the parties hereunder against impairment.

    9. Proxies
    10. . Each Investor hereby grants to each other Investor an irrevocable proxy (a "Proxy") with respect to the voting of the shares of capital stock of the Company owned or controlled by such Investor in accordance with this Agreement. The Proxy granted by each Investor to each other Investor is exercisable by any Investor at any time or from time to time, commencing with the breach by any Investor granting the Proxy of its obligation to vote its shares of capital stock in accordance with this the Agreement. Each Proxy shall expire upon the termination of the Company's and the Investors' obligations under Section II of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section III.B. Each Investor agrees that each Proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest.

    11. Entire Agreement
    12. . This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and any and all other written or oral agreements relating to the subject matter hereof existing among any of the parties hereto are expressly canceled.

    13. Recapitalizations, Etc
    14. . The provisions of this Agreement (including any calculation of share ownership) shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to the Common Stock, to any and all shares of capital stock of the Company or any capital stock, partnership or member units or any other security evidencing ownership interests in any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) that may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of the Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, split, combination, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise.

    15. Successors and Assigns
    16. . Except as provided below, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties (including transferees of any Common Stock or Warrants). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

      The rights of an Investor under Sections I and II of this Agreement may be assigned to any Permitted Transferee (as defined below) or to any transferee or assignee in connection with the transfer or assignment of at least 40% of such Investor's Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis); provided, that (a) such transfer is otherwise effected in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions on transfer applicable to such shares, (b) notice of such assignment is given to the Company and (c) such transferee or assignee agrees to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Permitted Transferee" shall mean (i) in the case of an Investor who is an individual, such person's ancestors, descendants or spouse, or any custodian or trustee for the account of such person (or for the account of such person's ancestors, descendants or spouse), (ii) in the case of an Investor which is a partnership or limited liability company, any constituent partner or member of such entity, (iii) in the case of an Investor which is a corporation, any parent corporation or wholly-owned subsidiary corporation or any officer, director or 10% stockholder of such corporation, and (iv) any other Investor.

    17. Amendments and Waivers
    18. . Any term of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the written consent of the Company and Investors holding at least 75% of the shares of Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or the Old Purchase Agreement and then held by all Investors. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in any particular instance a party's obligations or rights under this Agreement are adversely affected thereby in a disproportionately adverse manner from that in which other parties are affected by application of this Section, the consent of such party shall also be required in such instance.

    19. Notices
    20. . Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon delivery, when delivered personally or by overnight courier or sent by telegram or confirmed fax, or if mailed to a domestic address, 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, and addressed to the party to be notified at such party's address or fax number as set forth below or on Exhibit A hereto or as subsequently modified by written notice.

    21. Severability
    22. . If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (a) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (b) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (c) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

    23. Specific Performance; Delays or Omissions; Remedies Cumulative
    24. . The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to a party hereto or to their heirs, personal representatives, or assigns by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable without the requirement for the posting of a bond. If any party hereto or his heirs, personal representatives, or assigns institutes any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, any person against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense therein that such party or such personal representative has an adequate remedy at law, and such person shall not offer in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists.

      No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alterna tive.

    25. Attorney's Fees
    26. . If any action at law or in equity (including arbitration) is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, costs and disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

    27. Governing Law
    28. . This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

    29. Counterparts
    30. . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

    31. Titles and Subtitles

. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

Thursday, October 28, 1999 Other SEC File No.

SEC File No.: 1-10000

Friday, March 31, 2000 Other Special Advisory Consultants

A special classification of directors was created on 12/16/1997 called Special Advisory Consultants. They were paid an annual retainer and were eligible to participate in benefit programs that the directors of FUNC were eligible to participate in. This special class of directors was established to make room for the CoreStates & Signet directors to come on the FUNC Board. Those elected to that capacity were Howard H. Haworth, Max A. Lennon, Jack A. Laughery, Dewey L. Trogdon, John D. Uible and B. J. Walker, for a term commencing on 4/21/1998 and ending on 4/17/2001. The foregoing were the only persons who have been elected to such category by the Board. The naming of individuals to this special class and their terms was determined by the Board, based on recommendations of the Nominating Committee.

Friday, March 31, 2000 Other South Carolina Registered Agent

For purposes of the South Carolina Bank Holding Company Registration Form, Corporation Service Company (1301 Gervais Street, Columbia, SC 29201) was listed as FUNC's registered agent in SC who is authorized to accept process, even though FUNC is not qualified in SC. This was all footnoted on the form.

This issue arose from 1998's form. Bob Andersen, Lisa Clontz, & Anne Daniel spoke with SC's Commissioner of Banking who said FUNC had to have a registered agent in SC to accept process. Afterwards, Lisa Clontz contacted CSC & made it so that CSC would accept process for FUNC in SC, even though they are not qualified there.
