hereto;

(c) This Warrant.
Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a
certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in

designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time
after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised.
The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise
Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have
become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was
surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date
of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of
such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the
Corporation are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of
such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the
stock transfer books are open.
2.1. NET EXERCISE. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Corporation's Preferred
Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of exercise), I lieu of

thereof being canceled) be surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of

event the Corporation shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Preferred
Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y (A-B)
-------
A
Where X = the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to
the Holder
2.
Y = the number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable
under the Warrant or, If only a portion of the Warrant is
being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being
canceled (at the date of such calculation)
A = the fair market value of one share of the Corporation's
Preferred Stock (at the date of such calculation)

calculation)

share of Preferred Stock shall be determined by the Corporation's Board of
Directors in good faith as of the date of exercise; provided, however, that in
the event that this Warrant is exercised pursuant to this Section 2.1 in
connection with the Corporation's initial public offering of its Common Stock,
the fair market value per share shall be the product of (i) the per share
offering price to the public of the Corporation's initial public offering, and
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred
Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise.

and agrees that the Corporation will at all times during the Exercise Period,
have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number
of shares of its Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock shall not be
sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation will take such
corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase
its authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock to such number of shares
as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

to by the Holder, the Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of

Warrant or the Exercise Shares of the Corporation, or to comply with any
exemption from such registration.

public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public
information about the Corporation, the resale following the required holding
period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month
period not exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions
for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the
Corporation presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the
foreseeable future.
4.3. DISPOSITION OF WARRANT AND EXERCISE SHARES.
(a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition
of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and
until:

secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that

disposition; or

statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition
is made in accordance with said registration statement; or

Corporation of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Corporation
with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed
disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Corporation, the Holder shall
have furnished the Corporation with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Corporation, for the Holder to the effect that such
disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares
under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.
(b) The Holder understands and agrees that all
certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the
following legend:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE,
PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

transfer or dispose of all or any part of this Warrant or the Exercise Shares

further agrees that the Corporation may impose stop-transfer instructions with
respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of
such period.
4.4. ACCREDITED INVESTOR. The Holder represents that it is an
accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act.
5. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In the event of changes in the
outstanding Preferred Stock of the Corporation by reason of stock dividends,
split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of
shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and
class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise
Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on
exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and
kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised
prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after
the event requiring adjustment; provided, however, that such adjustment shall
not be made with respect to, and this Warrant shall terminate if not exercised
prior to, the events set forth in Section 7 below. The form of this Warrant need
not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares
subject to this Warrant.
6. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto.
All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result
in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise
would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Corporation shall, in
lieu of
5.
issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such
fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the
Exercise Price by such fraction.
7. EFFECT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. In the event of any capital
reorganization, or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation
(other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or no par
value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up
or combination of shares), or the consolidation or merger of the Corporation
with or into another corporation (other than a merger solely to effect a
re-incorporation of the Corporation into another state), or the sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the
Corporation in its entirety to any other person, lawful provision shall be made
so that the Holder, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 2 at any time
after the consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale or other disposition, as the case may be, shall be entitled to
receive, in lieu of the Preferred Stock issuable on such exercise prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if the
Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto.
8. No STOCK HOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall
not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of
the Corporation.
9. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws and the
restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, this
Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by
duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of
assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder. The
transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to
the Corporation.
10. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant
is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Corporation may, on such terms as
to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case
of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of
like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or
destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual
obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
