Warrant Price: $1.000 per share
Issue Date: March 21, 2003

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for the agreed upon value of $1.00 and for
other good and valuable consideration, SILICON VALLEY BANK ("Holder") is
entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
class of securities (the "Shares") of the company (the "Company") at the Warrant
Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this
Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth
in this Warrant.
ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE.
1.1 Method of Exercise. Subject to compliance with the terms and
conditions of this Warrant and applicable laws, Holder may exercise this
Warrant, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, on or before the
Expiration Date, by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in
substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the
Company; provided that this Warrant may not be exercised prior to September 21,
2003; and provided that if the Expiration Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday, it shall automatically be extended until 5:00 p.m. Pacific
Standard Time the next business day. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion
right set forth in Article 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a
check, wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), or other from of
payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares
being purchased.
1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified
in Article 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or
in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair
market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair
market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be
determined pursuant to Article 1.3. If Holder elects to convert this Warrant as
provided in this Section 1.2, Holder shall tender to the Company this Warrant
for the amount being converted, along with a duly executed Notice of Exercise.
1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Company's Common Stock is traded on a
securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, the fair market value of each
share of Common Stock shall be the closing price of a share of Common Stock
reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of
Exercise to the Company. If the Company's Common Stock is traded
over-the-counter (including the "pink sheets"), the fair market value of each
share of Common Stock shall be the closing bid price of a share of Common Stock
for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise
to the Company. If the Company's Common Stock is not traded in a public market,
the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its
reasonable good faith judgment.
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder
exercises or converts this Warrant and, if applicable, the Company receives
payment of the aggregate Warrant Price, 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
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, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of
like tenor.
1.6 Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.
1.6.1 "Acquisition". For the purpose of this Warrant,
"Acquisition" means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any reorganization,
consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company's
securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction.
1.6.2 Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition.
(A) Upon the written request of the Company, Holder
agrees that, in the event of an Acquisition in which the sole consideration is
cash, either (a) Holder shall exercise its conversion or purchase right under
this Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the
consummation of such Acquisition or (b) if Holder elects not to exercise the
Warrant, this Warrant will expire upon the consummation of such Acquisition. The
Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of its request relating to
the foregoing (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may
request in connection with such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such
notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) days prior to
the closing of the proposed Acquisition.
(B) Upon the written request of the Company, Holder
agrees that, in the event of an Acquisition that is an "arms length" sale of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets (and only its assets) to a third
party that is not an Affiliate (as defined below) of the Company (a "True Asset
Sale"), either (a) Holder shall exercise its conversion or purchase right under
this Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the
consummation of such Acquisition or (b) if Holder elects not to exercise the
Warrant, this Warrant will continue until the Expiration Date if the Company
continues as a going concern following the closing of any such True Asset Sale.
The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of its request relating
to the foregoing (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may
request in connection with such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such
2
notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) days prior to
the closing of the proposed Acquisition.
(C) Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than
those particularly described in subsections (A) and (B) above, the successor or
surviving entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant
shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and 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 Warrant Price and/or number of Shares
shall be adjusted accordingly.
As used herein "Affiliate" shall mean any person or
entity that owns or controls directly or indirectly ten (10) percent or more of
the stock of Company, any person or entity that controls or is controlled by or
is under common control with such persons or entities, and each of such person's
or entity's officers, directors, joint venturers or partners, as applicable.
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a
dividend on the Shares payable in common stock, or other securities, 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 occurred. If the Company subdivides the Shares by reclassification or
otherwise into a greater number of shares or if the Shares are convertible into
stock of another class or series takes any other action which increase the
amount of stock into which the Shares are convertible, the number of shares
purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price
shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares are combined or
consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares,
the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares
shall be proportionately decreased.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations 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. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the
outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as
the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's Articles or
Certificate (as applicable) of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered
public offering of the Company's common stock. The Company or its successor
shall promptly issue to Holder an amendment to this Warrant setting forth the
number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise
or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification, exchange,
substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class
of securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant. The
amendment to this 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 Warrant Price and to the
number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The
provisions of this Article 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.
2.3 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles
or Certificate (as applicable) of Incorporation or through a reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid
3
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.
2.4 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 the Warrant, the Company shall
eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by
multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
2.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant
Price, the Company shall promptly notify Holder in writing, and, at the
Company's expense, promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a
certificate of its 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 Warrant Price in effect
upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant
Price.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants
to the Holder as follows:
(a) All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
purchase right represented by this Warrant, and all securities, if any, issuable
upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances
except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable
federal and state securities laws.
(b) The Capitalization Table in the Company's most-recent
public filings with the Securities Exchange Commission remains true and complete
as of the Issue Date.
3.2 Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time (a)
to declare any dividend or distribution upon any of its stock, whether in cash,
property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend;
(b) to offer for sale additional shares of any class or series of the Company's
stock; (c) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of any of its
stock; (d) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell,
lease, license, 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 common stock will be
entitled thereto) 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 common stock will be entitled to exchange their common stock for securities
or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
3.3 No Shareholder Rights. Except as provided in this Warrant, the
Holder will not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company until the
exercise of this Warrant.
ARTICLE 4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER. The Holder represents and
warrants to the Company as follows:
4
4.1 Purchase for Own Account. This Warrant and the securities to be
acquired upon exercise of this Warrant by the Holder will be acquired for
investment for the Holder's account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a
view to the public resale or distribution within the meaning of the Act. Holder
also represents that the Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring this Warrant or the Shares.
4.2 Disclosure of Information. The Holder has received or has had full
access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an
informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of this Warrant and
its underlying securities. The Holder further has had an opportunity to ask
questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and
conditions of the offering of this Warrant and its underlying securities and to
obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such
information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense)
necessary to verify any information furnished to the Holder or to which the
Holder has access.
4.3 Investment Experience. The Holder understands that the purchase of
this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk. The Holder
has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development
stage and acknowledges that the Holder can bear the economic risk of such
Holder's investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such
knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that the Holder is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and
its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business
relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or
controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables the Holder to be aware
of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.
4.4 Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
4.5 The Act. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares
issuable upon exercise or conversion hereof have not been registered under the
Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends
upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder's investment intent
as expressed herein. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares
issued upon any exercise or conversion hereof must be held indefinitely unless
subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and qualified under applicable state
securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification
are otherwise available.
ARTICLE 5. MISCELLANEOUS.
5.1 Term: This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time
and from time to time on or before the Expiration Date.
5.2 Legends. This Warrant and the certificates representing Shares
issued to the Holder upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall be
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE ACT, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND, EXCEPT AND
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 5 BELOW, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD
OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL
5
REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR, IN
THE OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE
ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR
HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.
5.3 Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. This Warrant and the
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable,
directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) may not be
transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee
(including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation
letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably
requested by the Company). The Company shall not require Holder to provide an
opinion of counsel if the transfer is to Silicon Valley Bancshares (Holder's
parent company) or any other affiliate of Holder. Additionally, the Company
shall also not require an opinion of counsel if there is no material question as
to the availability of current information as referenced in Rule 144(c), Holder
represents that it has complied with Rule 144(d) and (e) in reasonable detail,
the selling broker represents that it has complied with Rule 144(f), and the

5.4 Transfer Procedure. Upon receipt by Holder of the executed Warrant,
Holder will transfer all of this Warrant to Silicon Valley Bancshares, Holder's
parent company, by execution of an Assignment substantially in the form of
Appendix 2. Subject to the provisions of Article 5.3 and upon providing Company
with written notice, Silicon Valley Bancshares and any subsequent Holder may
transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant (or the Shares issuable directly or indirectly, upon conversion of
the Shares, if any) to any transferee, provided, however, in connection with any
such transfer, Silicon Valley Bancshares or any subsequent Holder will give the
Company notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred with the name,
address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and Holder will
surrender this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and
Holder if applicable). The Company may refuse to transfer this Warrant or the
Shares to any person who directly competes with the Company, unless, in either
case, the stock of the Company is publicly traded.
5.5 Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The Company shall pay any and all
documentary, stamp, transfer and other similar taxes in connection with the
issuance and delivery of the Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. The
Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in
connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for
Shares in any name other than that of the Holder or Silicon Valley Bancshares,
and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificate or security until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has
been established to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other
charge is due.
5.6 Notices. All notices and other communications from the Company to
the Holder, or vice versa, shall be deemed delivered and effective when given
personally or mailed by first-class registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company or the
