Issue Date: January 30, 2004

FOR THE AGREED UPON VALUE of $1.00, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
this Warrant is issued to SILICON VALLEY BANK (together with its successors and

is entitled upon surrender of this Warrant and the duly executed Notice of
Exercise form annexed hereto as Appendix 1 ("Notice of Exercise"), at the
principal office of the Company, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000 or such other office as the Company shall notify the Holder of in writing,
to purchase from the Company Fifty Thousand (50,000) fully paid and
non-assessable shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par
value per share ("Common Stock") at a purchase price per Share of $5.75 (the
"Exercise Price"). This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at time and
from time to time on or after September 1, 2004 until 5:00 PM, Eastern time, on
the Expiration Date, and shall be void thereafter; notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part immediately upon
and after an Acquisition (as defined below) until 5:00 PM, Eastern time, on the
Expiration Date. Until such time as this Warrant is exercised in full or
expires, the Exercise Price and the Shares are subject to adjustment from time
to time as hereinafter provided.
ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE.
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant
by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise to the principal office of the
Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section
1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Exercise
Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant
as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant
(by surrendering this Warrant, and delivering a duly executed Notice of
Exercise, to the principal office of the Company), in whole or in part, into a
number of Shares determined as follows:
X = Y (A-B)/A
where:
X = the number of Shares to be issued to the
Holder.
Y = the number of Shares with respect to
which this Warrant is being exercised.
A = the Fair Market Value (as determined
pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share.
B = the Exercise Price.
1.3 Fair Market Value.
1.3.1 If shares of Common Stock are traded on a
nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over
the counter market, the fair market value of one Share shall be the closing
price of a share of Common Stock reported for the business day immediately
preceding the date of Holder's Notice of Exercise to the Company.
1.3.2 If shares of Common Stock are not traded on
a nationally recognized securities exchange or over the counter market, the
Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value of a
share of Common Stock in its reasonable good faith judgment.
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly
after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to
Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been
fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the
right to purchase the Shares not so acquired.
1.5 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on
delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to
the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this
Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.
1.6 Assumption on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the
Company.
-2-
1.6.1. "Acquisition". For the purpose of this
Warrant, "Acquisition" means any sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any acquisition,
reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Company where the holders of the
Company's outstanding voting equity securities immediately prior to the
transaction beneficially own less than a majority of the outstanding voting
equity securities of the surviving or successor entity immediately following the
transaction.
1.6.2. In connection with, and upon the closing of,
any Acquisition (other than an Acquisition in which the consideration received
by the Company's stockholders consists solely of cash), and as a condition
precedent thereto, the successor or surviving entity shall assume the
obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant thereafter shall be exercisable
for the same kind and amount of securities and other property as would be
payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this
Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the
Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Exercise Price shall be adjusted such
that the product of (i) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
closing of such Acquisition, and (ii) the number of Shares then issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, equals the product of (i) the number of shares or
other securities or property for which this Warrant shall be exercisable
immediately following the closing of such Acquisition, and (ii) the Exercise
Price in effect immediately following the closing of such Acquisition, and the
Exercise Price and number and class of Shares shall continue to be subject to
adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof.
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares
or pays a dividend on the outstanding shares of Common Stock, payable in Common
Stock or other securities, or subdivides the outstanding Common Stock into a
greater amount of Common Stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each
Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number
and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned
the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any
reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a
change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or
conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise
or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property
that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been
exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or
other event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new
Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide
for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation,
adjustments to the Exercise Price and to the number of securities or property
issuable upon
-3-
exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly
apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other
events.
2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding
shares of Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or
otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately
decreased.
2.4 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of
its Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws, or through a reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, 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, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying
out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may
be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder's rights under this Article
against impairment.
2.5 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be
issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to
be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional
Share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the
Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder an
amount computed by multiplying such fractional interest by the Fair Market Value
(determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of one Share.
2.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment
of the Exercise Price, number of Shares or class of security for which this
Warrant is exercisable, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such
adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of the Company's chief
financial officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such
adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a
certificate setting forth the Exercise Price, number of Shares and class of
security for which this Warrant is exercisable in effect upon the date thereof
and the series of adjustments leading to such Exercise Price, number of Shares
and class of security.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby
represents and warrants to the Holder as follows:

exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly

except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable
federal and state securities laws.
-4-
(b) The Company covenants that it shall at all
times cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued
shares such number of shares of its Common Stock and other securities as will be
sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant and the conversion or
exchange of such Common Stock into or for such other securities.
3.2 Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at
any time (a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon any of its Common
Stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not
a regular cash dividend; (b) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders
of Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other
rights; (c) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of any of its
Common Stock; or (d) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation,
or sell, lease, or convey all or substantially all of its assets, or to
liquidate, dissolve or wind up, then, in connection with each such event, the
Company shall give Holder (1) at least 10 days prior written notice of the date
on which a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription
rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of securities of the
Company shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights) or
for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in
(c) and (d) above; and (2) in the case of the matters referred to in (c) and (d)
above at least 10 days prior written notice of the date when the same will take
place (and specifying the date on which the holders of securities of the Company
will be entitled to exchange their securities of the Company for securities or
other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
3.3 Registration Under Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The Shares issued and issuable hereunder shall have certain incidental
or "piggyback" registration rights pursuant to, and as set forth in, that
certain Registration Rights Agreement of even date herewith between the Company
and Holder. The Company represents and warrants to Holder that the Company's
foregoing grant of registration rights and its execution, delivery and
performance of the aforementioned Registration Rights Agreement (a) have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company's Board of
Directors and shareholders, (b) will not violate the Certificate or the
Company's by-laws, each as amended, (c) will not violate or cause a breach or
default (or an event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or
both, would constitute a breach or default) under any agreement, instrument,
mortgage, deed of trust or other arrangement to which the Company is a party or
by which it or any of its assets is subject or bound, and (d) do not require the
approval, consent or waiver of or by any shareholder, registration rights holder
or other third party which approval, consent or waiver has not been obtained as
of the date of issuance of this Warrant.
ARTICLE 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER.

then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be
converted pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or such other
securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised or converted,
and the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate representing the Shares (or
such other securities) issued upon such conversion to the Holder.
