when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully

hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption.

manner all documents that the Company was required to file under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), during the twelve (12)
months preceding the date of this Warrant (the "SEC Filings"). The SEC Filings
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), as the case may be, as of
their respective filing or effective dates, and the information contained
therein was true and correct in all material respects as of the date or
effective date of such documents, and each of the SEC Filings, as of such date,
did not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor
hereby represents and warrants that:
3.1 Authorization. Such Investor has full power and authority to
enter into this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and each such
Agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in
accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or
other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions
contained in the Registration Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable
federal or state securities laws.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made
with such Investor in reliance upon such Investor's representation to the
Company, which by such Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor
hereby confirms, that the Common Shares and the Warrant to be received by such
Investor and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant to be
received by such Investor (collectively, the "Securities") will be acquired for
investment for such Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such
Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Investor
further represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Securities.
3.3 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes it has
received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to purchase the Common Shares and the Warrant. Such Investor further
represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Common Shares and the Warrant and the business, properties, prospects and
financial condition of the Company.
3.4 Investment Experience. Such Investor is an investor in
securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is
able to fend for itself, can bear
3
7
the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in
financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in the Common Shares and the Warrant. If other than an
individual, Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose
of acquiring the Common Shares and the Warrant.
3.5 Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule
501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.
3.6 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the
Securities are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal
securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a
transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor
represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and
understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.
3.7 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way
limiting the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not
to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until
the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound
by this Section 3 and the Registration Rights Agreement provided and to the
extent this Section 3 and such agreement are then applicable, and:
(a) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under
the Act, covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such Registration Statement; or
(b) (i) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if
reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the
Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that
such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It
is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions
made pursuant to SEC Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraphs (a) and (b)
above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary
for a transfer by an Investor that is a partnership to a partner of such
partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date
hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer
by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to
the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her
spouse, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to
the same extent as if he or she were an original Investor hereunder.
3.8 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing
the Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:
4
8
(a) "These securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale,
pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect
with respect to the securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required or unless
sold pursuant to Rule 144 of such Act."
(b) Any legend required by the laws of the State of
California, including any legend required by the California Department of
Corporations and Sections 417 and 418 of the California Corporations Code.

indirectly, less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity, or (ii) a
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to any
other person, then, as a part of such acquisition, sale or transfer, lawful
provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to
receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and
upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock
or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such
acquisition, sale or transfer which a holder of the shares deliverable upon
exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such
acquisition, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately
before such acquisition, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as
provided in this Section 5; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment (as
determined by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application
of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests
thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth herein
(including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the
number of Shares the Holder is entitled to purchase) shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as possible, in relation to any shares of common stock or
other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of
this Warrant.

6. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase
rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of
Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter (with
appropriate restrictive legends, if applicable), and in any event within thirty
(30) days of the delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
7. Issuance of Shares. The Company covenants that the Shares,
when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges
with respect to the issuance thereof.
8. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number
of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the
Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
8.1 Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the
Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its
Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue
additional shares of its Common Stock or Common Stock as a dividend with respect
to any shares of its Common Stock, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise
of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a
subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a
combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price
payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number
of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same.
Any adjustment under this Section 8(a) shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of
the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed,
upon the making of such dividend.
8.2 Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case
of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the Common Stock
of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock
dividend provided for in Section 8(a) above), then, as a condition of such
reclassification, reorganization, or change, lawful provision shall be made, and
duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor
shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at any
time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal
to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares
of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such
reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of
shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to
such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder
so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any
shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise
hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per
share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the
same.
8.3 Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be
made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant,
or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such
event and of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or
property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

9. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash
payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
10. No Shareholder Rights. Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the
Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive
dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be
notified of shareholder meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled to any
notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company.
However, nothing in this Section 10 shall limit the right of the Holder to be
provided the notices required under this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement.
11. Transfers of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable in whole or in part by the Holder to any person or entity upon
written notice to the Company. The transfer shall be recorded on the books of
the Company upon the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the
Company at its principal offices, and the payment to the Company of all transfer
taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. In the event of a
partial transfer, the Company shall issue to the Holders one or more appropriate
new warrants.
12. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this
Warrant and the Purchase Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, the Company and the Holders hereof and their respective successors and
assigns.
13. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Warrant may be
amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(a) The Company shall use diligent efforts to prepare and

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance,
pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by
the Holders;
(ii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a
certificate signed by the chief executive officer or the president of the
Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the
Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders
for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the
Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration
statement for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after such date,
provided that such right to defer filing shall be exercised by the Company not
more than once in any twelve (12) month period; or

(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall effect such registration,
qualification, or compliance (including, without limitation, the execution of an
undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under
applicable blue sky (except that in no event shall the Company be required to

receive from either (x) the Holders of at least forty (40%) of the Warrant
Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants or (y) the
Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant Shares issued or issuable

effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance
with respect to all or a part of the Warrant Shares owned by such Holder or
Holders, the Company shall:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders;
and
(b) use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as
soon as practicable, such registration and all such qualifications and
compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale
and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders' Warrant Shares as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Warrant
Shares of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a
written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written

underwriters' discounts or commissions) of less than $1,500,000;
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a
certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the
Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders
for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in
3
24
which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3
registration statement for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120)
days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section
1.3; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than
once in any twelve (12) month period;
(iv) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month
period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2)
registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Agreement; or
(v) in any particular jurisdiction in which the
Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general
consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or
compliance.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Warrant Shares and other securities so
entitled to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or
requests of the Holders.
1.4 Obligations of the Company. When required under Section 1
to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC, a registration
statement on Form S-3 with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective, and, subject to the provisions below, use commercially reasonable
efforts to keep such registration statement effective:
(i) In the event of a registration under Section 1.2
hereof, until the earlier of (A) the date on which all of the Common Shares held
by each Holder can be sold without registration in a single transaction pursuant
to Rule 144(k) of the Act, or (B) the date on which all of the Common Shares
have been sold to the public; or
(ii) In the event of a registration under Section 1.3
hereof, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Warrant Shares
registered thereunder, for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or,
for such earlier period as is necessary to complete the distribution
contemplated in the registration statement;
(b) If at any time after a registration statement becomes
effective, the Company advises the Holders in writing that the registration
statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, or any prospectus comprising a part of such
registration statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading or the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate
development that, in the reasonable discretion of the Company, makes it
appropriate to suspend the availability of the registration statement and the
related prospectus, the Company shall give notice to the Holders that the
availability of the registration statement is suspended and the Holders shall
suspend any further
4
25
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until the
Holders have been informed in writing that the registration statement is
available. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right to suspend the
availability of the registration statement for a period of not more than sixty
(60) days in any three (3) month period, not to exceed in the aggregate ninety
(90) days in any twelve (12) month period.
(c) Subject to subsections 1.4(a) and (b), prepare and
file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement
and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the
disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.
(d) Furnish to the Holders requesting registration such
numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in
conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they
may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by them.
(e) Use commercially reasonable efforts to register and
qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such
jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Act.
1.5 Information from Holders. It shall be a condition
precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this
Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of a Holder that such
Holder shall furnish to the Company the information requested on Appendix 1.5
hereto, which shall include such information regarding itself, himself or
herself, any of the Registrable Securities held by it, him or her, and the
intended method of disposition of such securities, and such other information as
shall be reasonably requested by the Company and required to effect the
registration of any of the Registrable Securities.
1.6 Expenses of Registration. All expenses of the Holders,
except underwriting discounts (if any) or commissions, including (without
limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and
accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be
borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to pay any professional fees incurred by any of the Holders.
1.7 Assignment of Registration Rights. The registration rights
provided pursuant to Section 1.2 are not assignable. The rights to cause the
Company to register the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 1.3 may be assigned
(but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee
of such securities that after such assignment or transfer, holds all of the
Warrant Shares issuable or issued upon conversion of the Warrants that were
previously held by such Holder, provided: (a) the Company is, within a
reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name
and address of such transferee or
5
26
assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are
being assigned; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by
and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (c) such
assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the
further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is
restricted under the Act.
1.8 Indemnification. With respect to all Registrable
Securities included in the registration statement referred to in this Section 1:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners or officers, directors and
shareholders of each Holder, and each person, if any, who controls such Holder
within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under
the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations
(collectively, a "VIOLATION"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or
any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state
securities laws; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder or controlling
person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
subsection l.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon
a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by
any such Holder or controlling person; provided further, however, that the
foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall
not inure to the benefit of any Holder, or any person controlling such Holder,
from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended
or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or
supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder to
such person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the
written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the
prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving
rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Act, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and
any controlling person of any such other Holder, against any
6
27
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the
foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state
securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in
each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Holder
expressly for use in connection with such registration; and Holder will
reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection
l.8(b), for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this subsection l.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection
l.8(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 1.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.8, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section
1.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or
expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other
in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
7
28
(e) The obligations of each Holder under this Section 1.8
shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in the
registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.
1.9 Termination of Registration Rights. The registration
rights provided in this Section 1 shall terminate with respect to a particular
Holder if all Registrable Securities held by such Holder may be sold pursuant to
Rule 144 in any three (3) month period. Upon the termination of registration
rights pursuant to this Section 1.9, the Company shall have the right to
withdraw the registration statement, or any portion thereof, covering
Registrable Securities.
