Section 2.

Exercise of Warrant.

(a)

Method of Exercise.  The Holder of this Warrant may, at any time and from time to time on or after the Commencement Date and on or before the Expiration Date, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part for any number of Warrant Shares that such Holder is entitled to purchase hereunder.  The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”) at the Company’s office maintained pursuant to Section 15 for such purpose.  The Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by this Warrant and the Holder shall pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares then being purchased.  The Exercise Price may be paid at the Holder’s election either by check or wire transfer.

(b)

Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant.  Promptly after delivery of this Warrant, the Notice of Exercise and Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares being purchased, the Company shall cause to be executed and delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of fully-paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise.  The stock certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be specified in the Notice of Exercise and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to Section 10, such other name or names as shall be designated in the Notice of Exercise.  Such certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares, including to the extent permitted by law the right to vote such Warrant Shares or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder of the Company, as of the time the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company as aforesaid.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares then purchased, deliver to such Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of such Holder to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(c)

Validity of Warrant Shares.  All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all liens and other encumbrances thereon. The Company will from time to time take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the par value per share of the unissued Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant is at all times equal to or less than the Exercise Price then in effect.

(d)

No Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not issue certificates for fractional shares of stock upon any exercise of this Warrant whenever, in order to implement the provisions of this Warrant, the issuance of such fractional shares is required.  Upon such exercise, in lieu of any fractional share, the Company shall pay cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share multiplied by such fraction.

- 4 -




Section 3.

Transfer.

(a)

Method of Transfer.  Subject to Section 10, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 15, together with (a) a duly executed written assignment in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Assignment Form”), and (b) payment of funds sufficient to pay any stock transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender, execution and payment, the Company shall, subject to Section 10, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.  This Warrant, if properly assigned in compliance with this Section 3 and Section 10, may be exercised by an assig nee for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

(b)

Compliance with Securities Laws.  This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned without compliance with Section 10 hereof and all applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee.  Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act, title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the Holder executing the Assignment Form) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery.

(c)

Warrant Register.  The Company agrees to maintain books for the registration and transfer of this Warrant at the office of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 15.  The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant register, issuing the securities then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant, or any or all of the foregoing.  Thereafter, any such registration, issuance, exchange, or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at the office of such agent.

Section 4.

Adjustment of Warrant Shares or Exercise Price.  The number of Warrant Shares, and the Exercise Price per Warrant Share, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4.

(a)

Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall:

(i)

take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock, or

(ii)

subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or

(iii)

combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,

then the number of Warrant Shares immediately after the happening of any event described in clauses (i) through (iii) above (a “Common Stock Event”) shall be adjusted so as to consist of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Holder owned the Warrant Shares of record immediately prior to the happening of such Common Stock Event.

(b)

Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets.  In case the Company shall merge or consolidate into another corporation, or shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business to another corporation, the successor or acquiring corporation shall expressly assume this Warrant and the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all of the obligations and liabilities hereunder and thereunder, subject to such modification as shall be necessary to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4.  If, pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation that the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Holder owned the Warrant Shares of record immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets.  If, pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants, options or other subscription or purchase rights) are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in lieu of or in addition to common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, there shall be either, at the Holder’s option:

- 5 -




(i)

an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares to that number determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price at the date of such merger, consolidation or disposition, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price minus the amount of any such cash and the Fair Market Value of any and all such shares of stock, securities or other property that the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Holder owned one (1) Warrant Share of record immediately prior to the happening of such event, or

(ii)

a distribution to the Holder of such cash, shares of stock or other securities or property that the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Holder owned the Warrant Shares of record immediately prior to the happening of such event.

(c)

Reclassification.  Should the Company’s Common Stock be reclassified into another class or series of capital stock (“Conversion Stock”), then the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall immediately be that number of shares of Conversion Stock equal to the number of shares that the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Holder owned the Warrant Shares of record immediately prior to such reclassification.

(d)

Qualified IPO.  To the extent that 117,778 shares (as such shares are presently constituted, subject to proportional adjustment for any stock split or combination or reclassification) (the “Assumed Equity Plan Shares”) exceeds the actual number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (or options, warrants or rights therefor) that have been issued pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive or benefits plan prior to the occurrence of a Qualified IPO (excluding any such securities that are being issued upon consummation of such Qualified IPO, the “Actual Equity Plan Shares”), then the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted appropriately such that (excluding, only for the purposes of such calculation, the effects of any other adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares under this Section 4) one Warrant Share represents upon the Qualified IPO the same proportion of the fully-diluted equity of the Company that such Warrant Share would have represented on the date of issuance of this Warrant had the Actual Equity Plan Shares (rather than the Assumed Equity Plan Shares) been deemed issued on the date of issuance of this Warrant.

(e)

Certain Adjustments of Exercise Price.  If the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted pursuant to Section 4(a), Section 4(b), Section 4(c) or Section 4(d), the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as applicable, as follows:  the Exercise Price following the adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares shall equal the Exercise Price prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of Warrant Shares immediately prior to such adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Warrant Shares immediately following such adjustment.

(f)

Sale of Shares Below Exercise Price.

(i)

Adjustment Formula.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 4(f), if at any time or from time to time after the Commencement Date the Company issues or sells, or is deemed by the provisions of this Section 4(f) to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock, otherwise than in connection with a Common Stock Event as provided in Section 4(a), or a recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other change as provided in Section 4(b) or Section 4(c), for an Effective Price that is less than the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale), then, and in each such case the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted, as of the close of business on the date of such issue or sale, to the amount obtained by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction:

(A)

the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of Common Stock Equivalents Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale of Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Consideration Received by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued and/or sold (and/or deemed so issued and sold) by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale; and

(B)

the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of Common Stock Equivalents Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale) plus (y) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold (and/or deemed so issued and sold).

- 6 -




(ii)

Deemed Issuances.  For the purpose of making any adjustment to the Exercise Price required under this Section 4(f), if the Company issues or sells any Rights or Options or Convertible Securities and if the Effective Price of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Rights or Options and/or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (computed without reference to any additional or similar protective or antidilution clauses and assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability including, without limitation, the passage of time) is less than the Exercise Price then in effect, then the Company shall be deemed to have issued, at the time of the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities, that number of Additional Shares of Common Stock that is equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities upon their issuance and to have received, as the Aggregate Consideration Received for the issuance of such shares, an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of such Rights or Options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise in full of such Rights or Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion or exchange thereof; provided that:

(A)

if the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses, then the Company shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses;

(B)

if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities is reduced over time or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution or similar protective adjustments, then the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; and

(C)

if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, then the Effective Price shall again be recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

No further adjustment of the Exercise Price, as adjusted upon the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Securities.  If any such Rights or Options or the conversion rights represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been fully exercised, then the Exercise Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only shares of Common Stock so issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, that were actually issued or sold on the exercise of such Rights or Options or rights of conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and such shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the granting of all such Rights or Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling all such Convertible Securities actually converted or exchanged, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(g)

Adjustment is Cumulative.  The provisions of this Section 4 shall similarly apply to successive Common Stock Events, mergers, consolidations, dispositions, reclassifications, sales of shares below the Exercise Price or other applicable events.

- 7 -




(h)

No Impairment.  The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, and shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the Holder’s rights under this Section 4 against impairment.

Section 5.

Notice to the Holder.

(a)

Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the number of Warrant Shares, or the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by an officer of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a statement of the Fair Market Value, as determined by the Board of Directors or by appraisal (if applicable), of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights referred to in Section 4(b)) and specifying the number of Warrant Shares and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Section 4(c)) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock comprising the Warrant Shares, and any change in the Exercise Price thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or change.  The Company shall keep at its office or agency, maintained for the purpose pursuant to Section 15, copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, by the Holder of this Warrant or any prospective purchaser of this Warrant designated by the Holder.

(b)

Notice of Certain Corporate Action.  In case the Company shall propose to (i) pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of its Common Stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock (other than a cash dividend), (ii) effect any capital reorganization, (iii) effect any consolidation, merger or sale, organic change, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business, (iv) effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, (v) effect a Qualified IPO, then in each such case, at least thirty (30) days before such action (or, in the case of a Qualified IPO, at least thirty (30) days before the filing of a registration statement pertaining to such Qualified IPO), the Company shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such stock dividend, distribution or rights, or the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, organic change, transfer, disposition, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Qualified IPO is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action on the Warrant Shares and the number and kind of any other shares of stock which will comprise Warrant Shares, and the Exercise Price thereof, after giving effect to any adjustment which will be required as a result of such action.

Section 6.

Reservation of Warrant Shares.  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Voting Common Stock or other stock comprising Warrant Shares as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.  All shares of Voting Common Stock or other stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of this Warrant or upon such conversion, as the case may be, shall be duly and validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.

Section 7.

Taking of Record; Stock and Warrant Transfer Books.  In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day.  The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up or as otherwise may be required by law, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.

Section 8.

Taxes.  The Company will pay all taxes (other than federal, state, local or foreign income taxes) which may be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Warrant or the issuance and sale of the Warrant Shares hereunder or in connection with any modification of any such securities and will indemnify and hold the Holder harmless without limitation as to time against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying, or omission to pay, such taxes; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder.  The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall survive any redemption, repurchase or acquisition of any such Warrant Shares by the Company.
