WARRANT AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE STOCK OF

METASTORM INC.

Issue Date: November 9, 2005

Expiration Date: November 9, 2015

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Warrant”) evidences the agreement of Metastorm Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), for value received, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, to issue to AXIOM VENTURE PARTNERS II, LP, or its assigns (“Holder”), and the right of the Holder, at the Holder’s option, to purchase, up to 76,775 fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Series BB Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series BB Preferred Stock”), at the initial exercise price per share set forth herein pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, and otherwise subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned them in that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2005 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and the purchasers listed on the signature pages thereto. The number of Warrant Shares shall be equal to two shares for every dollar by which the amount of the Holder’s aggregate investment in the Series BB Preferred Stock set forth opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule 1.2 of the Purchase Agreement exceeds the product of (i) $5,255,090 (the “Investment Amount”) multiplied by (ii) the Pro Rata Percentage (as defined below). In the event that the Company sells additional shares of Series BB Preferred Stock after the date hereof and prior to December 31, 2005, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company’s Fifth Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the “Articles”), the number of Warrant Shares shall be recalculated in accordance with the previous sentence by adding to the Investment Amount the additional cash proceeds received by the Company as a result of such sale. “Pro Rata Percentage” shall mean the number of shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series AA Preferred Stock”) held by the Holder divided by the total number of Series AA Preferred Stock outstanding.

This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. Term of Warrant. On the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on November 9, 2015 (the “Termination Date”).

2. Warrant Price. The Warrant Price at which this Warrant may be exercised for Series BB Preferred Stock shall be $1.38572 per share, as shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 8 hereof (the “Warrant Price”).

3. Exercise of Warrant.

(a) The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the term hereof as described in Section 1, by the surrender of this Warrant and the delivery of the Notice of Exercise (attached hereto as Attachment 1), all duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the office of the Company, and the payment in cash or by wire transfer or by check to the Company of the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised by the Warrant Price then in effect and applicable to such Warrant Shares.

(b) This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the Person entitled to receive the shares of Series BB Preferred Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, shall issue and deliver to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock issuable upon such exercise. In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver a new Warrant in substantially the same form as this Warrant exercisable for the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised following such partial exercise.

(c) Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 3(a), the Holder may elect to pay the exercise price by surrendering a portion of its Warrant with a value equal to the exercise price of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised by surrender of the Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of the Company’s Series BB Preferred Stock computed using the following formula:

X = Y(A-B)
	A

Where:	X =	The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

	Y =	The number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant.

	A =	The fair market value of one share of the Company’s Series BB Preferred Stock.

	B =	The Warrant Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).

For purposes of this Section 3(c), the fair market value of the Company’s Series BB Preferred Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

4. Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares to which Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Warrant Price multiplied by such fraction.

5. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant in substantially the same form as this Warrant.

6. No Rights as Stockholder. The Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends pursuant to this Warrant or be deemed the holder of Series BB Preferred Stock nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company until the Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.

7. Transfer of Warrant.

(a) Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the names and addresses of the Holder. The Holder of this Warrant or any portion hereof may change its address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting such change. Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to such Holder as shown on the Warrant Register and at the address shown on the Warrant Register. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(b) Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 7(a) above, issuing the Series BB Preferred Stock or other 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.

(c) Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Warrant Shares) may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part, without compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement, and applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee. Subject to the foregoing, this Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be transferred or assigned by the Holder, in whole or in part, without prior written consent of the Company if the Holder shall transfer this Warrant to any Affiliate of the Holder.

(d) Exchange of Warrant. On surrender of this Warrant for exchange, properly endorsed on the Assignment Form annexed hereto as Attachment 2 and subject to the

provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act, the Company, at its expense, shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants in substantially the same form as this Warrant, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof.

(e) Compliance with Securities Laws.

(i) The Holder of this Warrant is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

(ii) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant, the Warrant Shares and all shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Warrant Shares are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and that the Holder will comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

(iii) This Warrant, the Warrant Shares and all shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

8. Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities.

8.1 Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 8 (and, in the case of the definition of “Liquidation,” for the purposes of Sections 8 and 9), the following definitions shall apply:

(a) “Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock” shall mean all shares of Series BB Preferred Stock issued by the Company after the Original Issue Date.

(b) “Exercise Price” shall mean, as of any time, the equivalent price per share of Series BB Preferred Stock that is used as the Warrant Share purchase price for Series BB Preferred Stock pursuant to this Warrant, as such price may have been adjusted immediately prior to such time in accordance with this Warrant.

(d) “Option” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Series BB Preferred Stock or Preferred Convertible Securities other than options issued in connection with existing employee stock option plans, if any, or the grant of

such option was approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board and which approval includes the affirmative vote of all of the non-management directors on the Board.

(e) “Original Issue Date” shall mean the date on which a Warrant was first issued.

(f) “Preferred Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Series BB Preferred Stock.

8.2 No Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment in the number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be made with respect to the issuance of Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock, by adjustment in the Warrant Price thereof, unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof) for an Additional Share of Series BB Preferred Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the Exercise Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, the issuance of such Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock.

8.3 Issue of Securities; Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Preferred Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Preferred Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Preferred Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Preferred Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock issued as of the time of such issuance or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof) of such Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock would be less than the applicable Exercise Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance, or such record date, as the case may be, and provided further that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock are deemed to be issued:

(a) No further adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made hereunder upon the subsequent issuance of Preferred Convertible Securities or shares of Series BB Preferred Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Preferred Convertible Securities;

(b) If such Options or Preferred Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Exercise Price computed upon the original issuance thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be

recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Preferred Convertible Securities;

(c) No readjustment pursuant to clause (b) above shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price to an amount which exceeds the Exercise Price on the original adjustment date or the Exercise Price that otherwise would be provided for pursuant to the Articles; and

(d) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Option or Preferred Convertible Security other than as a result of any exercise thereof, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof, the Exercise Price then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted to such Exercise Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment which was made upon the issuance or conversion of such Option or Preferred Convertible Security been made upon the basis of such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Series BB Preferred Stock upon the exercise or conversion of any such Option or Preferred Convertible Security.

8.4 Adjustment of Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock. In the event the Company shall at any time after the Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock (including Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 8.3, but excluding shares issued as a dividend or distribution as provided in Section 8.7 or upon a stock split or combination as provided in Section 8.6) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance, then and in such event, such Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, a price (calculated to the nearest hundredth of a cent) determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which is the amount of Series BB Preferred Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance plus the amount of Series BB Preferred Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock would purchase at the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such issuance; and

(b) the denominator of which is the Series BB Preferred Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance plus the number of such Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock.

8.5 Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 8.5, the consideration received by the Company for the issuance of any Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock shall be computed as follows:

(a) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate of cash received by the Company, excluding amount paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(ii) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issuance, as determined in good faith by the Board; and

(iii) in the event Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock are issued together with other shares of securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as determined in good faith by the Board.

(b) Options and Preferred Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Series BB Preferred Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 8.3, relating to Options and Preferred Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

(i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance of such Options or Preferred Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Preferred Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Preferred Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Preferred Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Preferred Convertible Securities, by

(ii) the maximum number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Preferred Convertible Securities.

8.6 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations of the Series BB Preferred Stock. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for the Warrant effect a subdivision of the outstanding Series BB Preferred Stock, the Warrant Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for the Warrant combine the outstanding shares of Series BB Preferred Stock, the Warrant Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

8.7 Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions of Series BB Preferred Stock. In the event the Company at any time, or from time to time, after the Original Issue Date for the Series BB Preferred Stock, shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Series BB Preferred Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Series BB Preferred Stock, then and in each such event the Warrant Price for the Warrant then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Warrant Price for the Warrant then in effect by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

(b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the total number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Warrant Price for the Warrant shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Warrant Price for the Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

8.8 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for the Warrant shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Series BB Preferred Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than shares of Series BB Preferred Stock), or any other assets or consideration, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of the Warrant Shares shall receive upon exercise of the Warrant in addition to the number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company or other assets or consideration that they would have received had the Warrant been exercised for Series BB Preferred Stock on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period giving application to all adjustments called for during such period, under this paragraph with respect to the rights of the holders of the Warrant Shares.

8.9 Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, or Substitution. If Series BB Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for below), then and in each such event the holder of each Warrant Share shall have the right thereafter to convert such Warrant Share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock for which the Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

8.10 Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Company which does not cause a Liquidation, each Warrant Share shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock of the Company deliverable upon exercise of the Warrant would have been entitled upon such consolidation or merger; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 8 set forth with

respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of the Warrant, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 8 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant.

8.11 Notice of Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Price. Whenever the Exercise Price or Warrant Price is required to be adjusted as provided in this Section 8, the Company shall forthwith compute the adjusted Exercise Price or Warrant Price, as the case may be, and shall prepare a certificate setting forth such adjusted Exercise Price or Warrant Price, as the case may be, and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Whenever the Exercise Price or Warrant Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail, or cause to be mailed, to the Holders a statement setting forth the adjustment and the reasons for such adjustment.

8.12 No Impairment or Circumvention. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Warrant Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant from time to time outstanding will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable, (b) will not take any action that results in any adjustment to the Exercise Price or Warrant Price, as the case may be, if after such adjustment the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series BB Preferred Stock or the total number of shares of Series BB Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of all of the outstanding Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock or Series BB Preferred Stock or other capital stock of the Company then authorized and available for the purpose of issuance upon such exercise and (c) will not take any other action that circumvents the rights of the Holder hereunder.

9. Notices to Warrant Holders. If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrant and its exercise, any of the following events shall occur:

(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Series BB Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of current or retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company; or

(b) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock or Series BB Preferred Stock, as applicable, any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor; or

(c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed; or

(d) a Liquidation shall be proposed;

then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice of such event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend, or the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities, or subscription rights, options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.

Any notice or other communication shall for all purposes under this Agreement be treated as effective or having been given (i) when delivered if delivered personally, (ii) if sent by reputable national overnight carrier service, the next business day after deposit thereof with such service, (iii) if sent by mail, at the earlier of its receipt or 72 hours after the same has been deposited in a regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit of the United States mail, addressed and mailed as aforesaid, or (iv) if sent by telecopier with written confirmation, at the earlier of (a) 24 hours after confirmation of transmission by the sending telecopier machine or (b) delivery of written confirmation, addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address at set forth below, or as subsequently modified by written notice, and:

13. Amendments.

November 9, 2005

To the Several Purchasers Listed on

Schedule 1 to the Stock Purchase

Agreement, dated November 9, 2005

Re: Metastorm Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Metastorm Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2005 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and you (the “Purchasers”). Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

Reference is made to Section 4.5 of the Stock Purchase Agreement which provides that the obligation of the Purchasers to purchase the Series BB Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series BB Preferred Stock”), is subject to receipt from the Company’s counsel of an opinion with respect to the matters set forth herein.

In connection with the foregoing and the delivery of this opinion, we have reviewed the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following:

To the Several Purchasers Listed on

Schedule 1 to the Stock Purchase

Agreement, dated November 9, 2005

(ii) the Fifth Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Company (the “Restated Articles”), filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (the “SDAT”) on October 5, 2005, and a copy of the Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), as certified by the Secretary of the Company as being complete, accurate and in effect;

(iii) those records of the proceedings and actions of the stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Company as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to render the opinions expressed herein, as certified by the Secretary of the Company as being complete, accurate and in effect;

(iv) a certificate of the SDAT dated November 9, 2005 with respect to the existence and good standing of the Company as of such date;

(v) a certificate dated November 9, 2005 from the Secretary of the Company (a copy of which is delivered herewith) certifying that the records of the proceedings and actions of the stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Company attached thereto constitute a true and complete copy of all of the records of the proceedings and actions of the stockholders and the Board of Directors related to the transactions contemplated by the Principal Agreements; and

(vi) a certificate of even date herewith from the President of the Company (a copy of which is delivered herewith) (the “Officer’s Certificate”) (a) identifying all consents, approvals, authorizations and orders of, and notifications to or filing with, any court or governmental agency or body necessary to the conduct of the Company’s business as presently conducted (“Governmental Consents”), if any, stating that copies or originals of all such Governmental Consents have been provided to us and that no further Governmental Consents are necessary to the conduct of its business as presently conducted, (b) certifying that the stock transfer ledger previously provided to us is true and complete, (c) certifying as to the accuracy and completeness of all representations and warranties made by the Company in the Principal Agreements, (d) identifying all warrants, options, agreements, convertible securities or other commitments pursuant to which the Company is or may become obligated to issue, sell or otherwise transfer any shares of the capital stock or other securities of the Company and (e) identifying all agreements, liens, encumbrances and other restrictions (such as rights of first refusal, rights of first offer, co-sale rights, proxies, voting trusts and voting agreements) with respect to the sale or voting of any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company (whether outstanding or issuable upon conversion or exercise of outstanding securities).

In basing the opinions and other matters set forth herein on “our knowledge,” the words “our knowledge” signify that, in the course of our representation of the Company in matters with respect to which we have been engaged by the Company as counsel, no information has come to our attention that would give us actual knowledge or actual notice that any such

To the Several Purchasers Listed on

Schedule 1 to the Stock Purchase

Agreement, dated November 9, 2005

opinions or other matters are not accurate or that any of the foregoing documents, certificates, reports, and information identified in Paragraphs (i) through (vi) above on which we have relied are not accurate and complete. Except as otherwise stated herein, we have undertaken no independent investigation or verification of such matters. The phrase “our knowledge” and similar language used herein are intended to be limited to the knowledge of the lawyers within our firm who have worked on matters on behalf of the Company. While we have represented the Company in matters involving the Principal Agreements, we do not represent the Company as to all its matters requiring legal services and did not represent the Company in connection with general corporate matters prior to May 1999 and may therefore be unaware of certain facts.

In reaching the opinions set forth below, with your permission we have assumed, and to our knowledge there are no facts inconsistent with, the following:

(a) the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all instruments, documents and agreements submitted to us as originals;

(b) the conformity to original documents (and the authenticity of such original documents) of all instruments, documents and agreements submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies;

(c) that each of the parties thereto (other than the Company) has duly and validly executed and delivered each of the Principal Agreements, and such party’s obligations set forth therein are its legal, valid, and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and (ii) the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity;

(d) that each person executing any of the Principal Agreements on behalf of any party (other than the Company) is duly authorized to do so;

(e) that each natural person executing any such instrument, document, or agreement is legally competent to do so;

(f) that there are no oral or written modifications of or amendments to any of the instruments, documents or agreements in question; and

(g) that there are no records of any proceedings or actions of the stockholders or the Board of Directors of the Company which have not been provided to us and that there has been no waiver of any of the provisions of any of the instruments, documents or agreements in question, by actions or conduct of the parties or otherwise.

To the Several Purchasers Listed on

Schedule 1 to the Stock Purchase

Agreement, dated November 9, 2005

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof:

1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland.

2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to own and hold its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and to execute and deliver the Principal Agreements and to perform the provisions thereof.

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Principal Agreements will not (a) conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a material default under any existing provision of the Restated Articles or the Bylaws, or under any applicable federal or Maryland law, rule or regulation (with the exception of Maryland securities or “blue sky” laws as to which we express no opinion), or (b) to our knowledge, result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever, upon any of the properties or assets of the Company.

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Principal Agreements have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on behalf of the Company. Each of the Principal Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and assuming that each of the Principal Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchasers, would constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, if governed by laws of the State of Maryland, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by general principles of equity.

5. Based solely on the confirmation of the SDAT with respect to the Restated Articles, the Restated Articles have been duly filed with the SDAT.

6. Based solely upon our review of the Restated Articles and the Bylaws of the Company, the corporate minute books and the corporate stock ledger of the Company in the form certified to us by the Company as being true and complete, and the Officer’s Certificate, upon filing the Restated Articles with the SDAT and immediately after the Closing, (i) the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 55,179,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share and 46,800,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 40,000,000 shares have been designated Series AA Preferred Stock and 6,800,000 shares have been designated Series BB Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Authorized Stock”); (ii) there are currently no shares of Common Stock, 37,056,695.65 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock and 3,792,317 shares of Series BB Preferred Stock which are issued and outstanding as of the date

To the Several Purchasers Listed on

Schedule 1 to the Stock Purchase

Agreement, dated November 9, 2005

hereof; (iii) no shares of stock are held in treasury; and (iv) except (w) for the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 36,486 shares of Common Stock, (x) for the outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,442 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock, (y) for the outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,712,722 shares of Series BB Preferred Stock (each of such warrants being set forth on Section 2.2 of the Disclosure Schedule to the Stock Purchase Agreement) and (z) as set forth in the Restated Articles, there are no outstanding options, conversion rights, warrants or other rights in existence to acquire any Authorized Stock.

7. The Series BB Preferred Stock issued to the Purchasers, when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Series BB Preferred Stock to be issued to the holder of the Warrant (the “Warrant Holder”) upon exercise of the Warrant, when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Warrant, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

8. Upon issuance and delivery of the Series BB Preferred Stock to each Purchaser pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, such Purchaser will be the record owner of the Series BB Preferred Stock, and such shares of Series BB Preferred Stock will be free of any liens or encumbrances created by the Company; provided, however, that the Series BB Preferred Stock will be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws and as contained in the Stockholders Agreement. Upon issuance and delivery of the Series BB Preferred Stock to the Warrant Holder upon the exercise of the Warrant held by the Warrant Holder, the Warrant Holder will be the record owner of the Series BB Preferred Stock, and such shares of Series BB Preferred Stock will be free of any liens or encumbrances created by the Company; provided, however, that the Series BB Preferred Stock will be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws and as contained in the Stockholders Agreement.

9. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series BB Preferred Stock issued to the Purchasers and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series BB Preferred Stock to be issued to the Warrant Holder upon the exercise of the Warrant (collectively, the “Underlying Shares”) have been duly and validly reserved and, when issued upon conversion in compliance with the Restated Articles, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The issuance of the Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Series BB Preferred Stock will not require any further corporate action or approval.

10. Subject to the accuracy of the representations of the Purchasers concerning their intent to purchase the Series BB Preferred Stock and concerning certain other matters set forth in the Principal Agreements, the offer and sale of the Series BB Preferred Stock (and the Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of such Series BB Preferred Stock) to the Purchasers in conformity with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement are exempt (and in the

To the Several Purchasers Listed on

Schedule 1 to the Stock Purchase

Agreement, dated November 9, 2005

case of the Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Series BB Preferred Stock, will be exempt) from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Subject to the accuracy of the representations of the Purchasers concerning their intent to purchase the Warrant, if any, and concerning certain other matters set forth in the Principal Agreements, (a) the offer and sale of the Warrant is in conformity with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, and (b) the offer and sale of the Series BB Preferred Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrant (and the Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of such Series BB Preferred Stock) to the Warrant Holder in conformity with the terms of the Warrant are each exempt (and in the case of the Series BB Preferred Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrant and the Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of such Series BB Preferred Stock, will be exempt) from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act. We express no opinion with respect to the applicability of the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws or the availability of an exemption therefrom, with respect to any resale by the Purchasers of the Series BB Preferred Stock, the Warrant or the Underlying Shares, which resales we understand are not contemplated.

11. Based solely on the Officer’s Certificate (as to factual matters) and our knowledge, with the exception of Maryland securities or “blue sky” laws as to which we express no opinion, and assuming receipt of the consents, approvals, orders and authorizations, and the making of the registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations and filings set forth in the Principal Agreements, if any, there are no authorizations, consents or approvals or other actions by, or any notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body of the United States or the State of Maryland which are required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Principal Agreements, except for any applicable federal securities laws filings pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and except as set forth in the disclosure schedules to the Principal Agreements.

12. Based solely on the Officer’s Certificate, except as disclosed in the Stock Purchase Agreement and the disclosure schedules thereto, we are not aware of any (i) suits, actions, or claims, or any investigations or inquiries by any administrative agency or governmental body, or legal, administrative, or arbitration proceedings pending against or threatened against the Company or to which the Company is a party or, in the case of threatened proceedings, is reasonably likely to become a party and (ii) any outstanding order, writ, judgment, injunction, or decree of any court, administrative agency, governmental body, or arbitration tribunal against or affecting the Company or its properties, rights, assets, or business.
