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.

In addition to the foregoing acquisitions, in consideration of prior amendments to and waivers of the terms of the Credit Agreement, Wachovia had previously acquired immediately exercisable warrants 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.).

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, FiberNet 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 Purchase 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.
