The Holder or any person or entity to whom the Holder has assigned its rights under this Warrant (collectively referred to as the "Warrantholder") may exercise this Warrant, at any time or from time to time, prior to the Expiration Date, on any business day, by surrendering the Warrant, accompanied by a written notice in the form attached hereto (the "Exercise Notice"), to the Company at the address designated in Section 8.4 hereof, exercising the Warrant and specifying the total number of Shares the Warrantholder will purchase pursuant to such exercise.

No fractions of a share of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but if a fractional share would be issuable upon exercise, the Company will pay in cash the fair market value thereof as determined under Section 1.2 below. 1.2. EXERCISE MECHANICS. The Warrantholder may exercise the Warrant by paying to the Company, by cash or check, an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares being purchased.

In the event that there were no sales in such a market within a reasonable period, the fair market value shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In the event the Warrantholder disagrees with the fair market value determined by the Board of Directors, the Company and the Warrantholder shall use their best efforts to agree upon the selection of an independent appraiser, who will have 30 days in which to determine the fair market value of the Common Stock, and whose determination will be final and binding on all parties concerned. All costs of such determination shall be borne by the Company. 2. RECORD HOLDER. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided in Section 1.1 above and the person entitled to receive the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise or conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of such Shares of record as of the close of business on such date. 3. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges (other than income taxes) that may be imposed in respect of the issue of delivery of the Shares or any portion thereof The Company shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of any certificate for the Shares or any portion thereof in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant surrendered in connection with the purchase of such shares, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate until such tax or other charge has been paid or it has been established to the Company's satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due. 4. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. 4.1 TRANSFER. Subject to the terms hereof, including, without limitation, Sections 5.1 and 5.3, the Warrant and all rights thereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, on the books 2 of the Company maintained for such purpose at its office designated in Section 8.4 hereof by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of the Warrant property endorsed.

Each taker and holder of the Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that the Warrant when endorsed in blank shall be deemed negotiable, and that when the Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the holder may be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with the Warrant as the absolute owner of such Warrant for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented thereby, or to the transfer on the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company may treat the registered holder of the Warrant as the owner for all purposes. The term "Warrant" as used herein shall include the Warrant and, any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein. 4.2 EXCHANGE. The Warrant is exchangeable for a warrant or warrants for the same aggregate number of Shares, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of Shares as the holder shall designate at the time of such exchange.

Within ten days after delivery to the Company and its counsel of such an opinion, the Company either shall deliver to the proposed transferor a statement to the effect that such opinion is not satisfactory in the reasonable opinion of its counsel (and shall specify in detail the legal analysis supporting any such conclusion) or shall authorize the Company's transfer agent to make the requested transfer; (b) the Company shall have been furnished with a letter from the Commission in response to a written request in form and substance acceptable to counsel for the Company setting forth all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the contemplated transfer, stating that the Commission will take no action with regard to the contemplated transfer; the Warrant or the Shares are transferred pursuant to a registration statement which has been filed with the Commission and has been effective; or (c) the restrictions on transfer imposed by this Section 5.1 shall cease and terminate as to the Warrant and the Shares when (i) such securities shall have been effectively registered under the 1933 Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration, or (ii) an acceptable opinion as described in Section 5.1.2(a) or a "no action" letter described in Section 5.1.2(b) states that future transfers of such securities by the transferor or the contemplated transferee would be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.

COOPERATION. The Company shall cooperate in supplying such information as may be reasonably requested by the Warrantholder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or subsequently required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption, presently existing or subsequently adopted, from the 1933 Act for the sale of the Warrant or Shares. 5.3. PERMITTED TRANSFERS. The Warrantholder may, subject to all applicable laws and rules, transfer this Warrant and any Shares purchased hereunder only with the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall terminate upon the effective date of the initial registration statement covering a public offering of the Company's Common Stock, which registration contemplates the registration and continued reporting under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Warrant prior to the effective date of such initial public offering shall bear a legend substantially to the effect of the foregoing. 6.

For the purposes of this Section 6, a distribution or series of distributions of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock in which the number of shares distributed is ten percent (10%) or more of the number of shares of Common Stock upon which the distribution is to be made shall be deemed to be a subdivision of Common Stock. 6.2. ADJUSTMENT FOR REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER. 6.2.1. In case of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of the Warrant) after the date on which this Warrant is first issued (the "Issuance Date"), or in case, after such date, the Company (or any such other corporation) shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation or convey all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, then and in each such case the Warrantholder, upon exercise of the Warrant as provided in Section 1 hereof at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which the Warrantholder would have been entitled upon such consummation if the Warrantholder had exercised or converted the Warrant immediately prior thereto; in each such case, the terms of this Warrant, including the exercise provisions of Section 1, shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant after such consummation. 6.2.2. The Company shall not effect any consolidation, merger or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation into or for the securities of which the previously outstanding stock of the Company shall be charged in connection with such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing such assets, as the case may be, shall assume by written instrument, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Warrantholder, executed and delivered in accordance with Section 10.4 hereof, the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Warrantholder is entitled to purchase. 6.2.3.

As used in this paragraph 6.2.3. the term "Person" shall mean and include an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a trust, a joint venture, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof. and an "Affiliate" of any Person shall mean any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with, such other Person.

If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date shall issue any Options (excluding Employee Options) or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 6.3.5 hereof) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock would be less than the applicable Exercise Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, or such record date, as the case may be, and provided further that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued: (A) No further adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; (B) If such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company, then upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Exercise Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or 7 upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities; (C) Upon the expiration or termination of any such unexercised Option or unconverted Convertible Security, the Exercise Price shall not be readjusted, but the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed issued as the result of the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security shall not be deemed issued for the purposes of any subsequent adjustment of the Exercise Price; (D) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof, the Exercise Price then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted to such Exercise Price as would have obtained had the adjustment which was made upon the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security not exercised, converted or exchanged prior to such change been made upon the basis of such change but no further adjustments shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of any such Option or Convertible Security; and (E) No readjustment pursuant to clause (B) or (D) above shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Exercise Price on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the Exercise Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date. In the event that, after the Series B Original Issue Date, the price at which Options or Convertible Securities may be exercised or converted is decreased, or the number of shares into which Options or Convertible Securities may be exercised or converted is increased, (whether such Options or Convertible Securities were outstanding on the Series B Original Issue Date or were issued after the Series B Original Issue Date), then such Options or Convertible Securities, as so modified, shall be deemed to have been issued after the Series B Original Issue Date and the provisions of this Subsection 6.3.3 shall apply 6.3.4 Adjustment of Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company shall at any time after the Series B Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Subsection 6.3.3, but excluding Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in a Qualifying Public Offering, as defined in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and in effect from time to time), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, such Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, (A) the numerator of 8 which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received or to be received by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Exercise Price; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, provided that, (i) for the purpose of this Subsection 6.3.4, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be deemed to be outstanding, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon conversion or exchange of such outstanding Convertible Securities shall not give effect to any adjustments to the conversion or exchange price or conversion or exchange rate of such Convertible Securities resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock that is the subject of this calculation. 6.3.5 Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Subsection 6.3, the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows: (A) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall: (I) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest; (II) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and (III) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (I) and (II) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. (B) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsection 6.3.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such 9 Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. 6.4. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Warrantholder of such event, of the calculation by which such adjustment is to be made and of the resulting Exercise Price. 6.5. DUTY TO MAKE FAIR ADJUSTMENTS IN CERTAIN CASES. If any event occurs as to which in the opinion of the Board of Directors the other provisions of this Section 6 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase and exercise rights of the Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid. 7. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock the full number of Shares deliverable upon exercise of the Warrant, Shares as such number may change from time to time. Also, the Company shall, at its own expense, take all such actions and obtain all such permits and orders as may be necessary to enable the Company lawfully to issue the Shares upon the exercise or conversion of the Warrant. 8.
