The parties agree as follows:

1.     ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

        Accounting terms not determined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term "financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. The terms "including" and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without limitation," in this or any Loan Document.

2.     LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1   Promise to Pay.

        Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

2.1.1   Revolving Advances.

PRIOR TO THE CONSUMMATION OF THE EQUITY EVENT CONDITION THE FOLLOWING CLAUSE (a) SHALL APPLY:

        (a)   Bank will make advances (referred to herein as the "Revolving Advances") not exceeding (i) the lesser of (A) the Committed Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

AFTER THE CONSUMMATION OF THE EQUITY EVENT CONDITION THE FOLLOWING CLAUSE (a) SHALL APPLY AND THE ABOVE CLAUSE (a) SHALL NO LONGER BE EFFECTIVE:

        (a)   Bank will make advances (referred to herein as the "Revolving Advances") not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus all amounts for services utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

        (b)   To obtain a Revolving Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Revolving Advance is proposed to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Payment/Advance Form, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Bank will credit Revolving Advances to Borrower's deposit account. Bank may make Revolving Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if any such Revolving Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephonic notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or such Person's written designee, and Borrower hereby indemnifies Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to any such reliance, unless such loss is the result of Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

        (c)   The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Revolving Advances and related Obligations are immediately payable.

        (d)   Bank's obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations will terminate if, in Bank's sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations,



or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this Agreement.

2.1.2   Cash Management Services Sublimit.

        Only on and after such time as the Equity Event Condition has been satisfied, Borrower may use up to $2,000,000 for Bank's Cash Management Services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in various cash management services agreements related to such services (the "Cash Management Services"). Such aggregate amounts utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit will at all times reduce the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line as set forth above in Section 2.1.1 and no utilization of any Cash Management Service shall arise if a Revolving Advance would not be permitted to be extended pursuant to Section 2.1.1 hereof. Further, any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Revolving Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the rate for Revolving Advances.

2.1.3   Equipment Advances.

        (a)   Through January 31, 2004 (the "Equipment Availability End Date"), Bank will make advances ("Equipment Advance" and, collectively, "Equipment Advances") in an aggregate amount of the initial loan amount for each such Equipment Advance not exceeding the Committed Equipment Line. The Equipment Advances may only be used to finance or refinance Eligible Equipment purchased on or after 90 days before the date of each Equipment Advance and may not exceed 100% of the invoices relating thereto excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts and installation expense. Software, tenant improvements and other costs of a similar nature, all as deemed acceptable to Bank for advance purposes hereunder, may constitute up to 25% of the aggregate amount of Equipment Advances outstanding from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and solely with respect to the initial Equipment Advance to be made hereunder (as long as such Initial Equipment Advance is extended substantially concurrently with Borrower's execution and delivery of this Agreement to Bank), Bank agrees to fund as part of any such Equipment Advance an amount not to exceed $250,000 in the aggregate based on 100% of the depreciated value of certain items of Equipment, which items are deemed to be satisfactory to Bank.

        (b)   Interest accrues from the date of the making of each Equipment Advance at the applicable rate in Section 2.3(a) and shall be payable on the first day of the month following the making of such Equipment Advance and continuing until such Equipment Advance has been repaid in full. Each Equipment Advance shall be payable in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments of principal beginning on the first day of the month following the making of such Equipment Advance and continuing on the first day of each of the succeeding thirty-five months thereafter (such final installment payment date for such Equipment Advance is referred to herein as the "Equipment Maturity Date" relating to such Equipment Advance), with the understanding that on each Equipment Maturity Date the related Equipment Advance and all related Obligations shall be repaid in full. Equipment Advances when repaid may not be reborrowed.

        (c)   To obtain an Equipment Advance, Borrower must notify Bank (the notice is irrevocable) by facsimile no later than 12:00 p.m. Pacific time 1 Business Day before the day on which the Equipment Advance is to be made.

9.1   Rights and Remedies.

        When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

            (a)   Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

            (b)   Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

            (c)   Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;

            (d)   Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies;

            (e)   Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds (except with respect to the Donations and the Donations Account (but only with respect to the Donations)), or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

            (f)    Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge.

    Collateral and, in connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section. Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank's benefit; and

            (g)   Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

9.2   Power of Attorney.

        Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower's name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank's appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3   Accounts Collection.

        When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments, other than with respect to the Donations, in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments, other than with respect to the Donations, to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

9.4   Bank Expenses.

        If Borrower falls to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.

9.5   Bank's Liability for Collateral.

        If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6   Remedies Cumulative.

        Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

14



9.7   Demand Waiver.

        Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

EXHIBIT A

        The Collateral consists of all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the following personal property of Borrower:

            All goods and equipment now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, all machinery, fixtures, vehicles (including motor vehicles and trailers), and any interest in any of the foregoing, and all attachments, accessories, accessions, replacements, substitutions, additions, and improvements to any of the foregoing, wherever located;

            All inventory, now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, all merchandise, raw materials, parts, supplies, packing and shipping materials, work in process and finished products including such inventory as is temporarily out of Borrower's custody or possession or in transit and including any returns upon any accounts or other proceeds, including Insurance proceeds, resulting from the sale or disposition of any of the foregoing and any documents of title representing any of the above;

            All contract rights and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired, including the Intellectual Property (as defined below) only, however, to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Exclusion Clause (as defined below);

            All now existing and hereafter arising accounts, contract rights, payment intangibles, royalties, license rights and all other forms of obligations owing to Borrower arising out of the sale or lease of goods, the licensing of technology or the rendering of services by Borrower, whether or not earned by performance, and any and all credit Insurance, guaranties, and other security therefor, as well as all merchandise returned to or reclaimed by Borrower;

            All documents, cash, deposit accounts, securities, securities entitlements, securities accounts, investment property, financial assets, letters of credit, letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, certificates of deposit, instruments and chattel paper now owned or hereafter acquired and Borrower's Books relating to the foregoing; and

            All Borrower's Books relating to the foregoing and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions and accessions to and proceeds thereof.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include any Intellectual Property, provided that if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in such items that are proceeds of the Intellectual Property consisting of payment intangibles, accounts, license revenues, or general intangibles relating to rights to payment arising therefrom or relating thereto, then in such circumstance, the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the Closing Date, include the Intellectual Property only to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Bank's security interest in such proceeds, including, without limitation, payment intangibles, accounts, license revenues, or general intangibles relating to rights to payment (the foregoing is referred to herein collectively as the "Exclusion Clause").

        Further, Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Negative Pledge Agreement, whereby Borrower, in connection with Bank's loans, has agreed, among other things, not to sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber, any of its Intellectual Property, without the Bank's prior written consent, other than as may be permitted thereunder or hereunder.

        The term "Intellectual Property" as used herein shall mean the following: Borrower's right, title or interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to any intellectual property rights of Borrower of any nature or character, including without limitation, and whether domestic or foreign, the following: (i) any copyrights and copyright applications, whether registered or unregistered, copyright registration and like protection in each work of authorship and derivative work thereof, whether published or unpublished, and whether said copyrights are statutory or arise under common law, and all rights, claims and demands in any way related to any such copyrights or works, including any rights to sue for past, present or future infringement, and any rights of renewal and extension of copyrights;



(ii) any patents, patent applications, patent rights and like protections and any licenses relating to any of the foregoing, and any improvements, divisions, continuations, renewals, reissues, extensions and continuations-in-part thereof and any rights to sue for past present or future infringement thereof and any rights arising therefrom and pertaining thereto; (iii) any state (including common law), federal and foreign trademarks, service marks and trade names, and applications for registration of such trademarks, service marks and trade names, and any licenses relating to any of the foregoing, whether registered or unregistered and wherever registered, any rights to sue for past, present or future infringement of unconsented use thereof, all rights arising therefrom and pertaining and any reissues, extensions and renewals thereof and the goodwill of the business of Borrower connected with and symbolized by any of the foregoing; (iv) any trade secrets, trade dress, trade styles, logos, other source of business identifiers, mask-works, mask-work registrations or mask-work applications, integrated circuit masks, software, circuit designs and documentation relating thereto, and the goodwill of the business of Borrower connected with and symbolized by any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any rights to unpatented inventions, know-how, and operating manuals, including any rights to sue for past, present or future infringement or unconsented use thereof, all rights arising therefrom and pertaining thereto, provided that with respect to any and all of the foregoing, the term "Intellectual Property" shall not include any proceeds thereof (other than proceeds in the direct form of Intellectual Property) and specifically, without limitation, and regardless of any of the foregoing, the term "Intellectual Property" shall not include any payment intangibles, accounts, license revenues, or general intangibles relating to rights to payment arising therefrom or relating thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the security interest granted herein does not extend to and the term "Collateral" does not include the Donations and the Donations Account (but only to the extent of the Donations) and the products and proceeds thereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and wheresoever maintained.


NEGATIVE PLEDGE AGREEMENT

        This Negative Pledge Agreement is made as of September 2, 2003, by and between Kintera, Inc. ("Borrower") and Silicon Valley Bank ("Bank").

        In connection with, among other documents, the Loan and Security Agreement dated of even date herewith (referred to herein as the "Loan Documents") being concurrently executed herewith between Borrower and Bank, Borrower agrees as follows:

            1.     Except as otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents (including without limitation that the Borrower is permitted to grant non-exclusive licenses and similar arrangements in the ordinary course of business), Borrower shall not sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of Borrower's intellectual property, including, without limitation, the following:

              a.     Any and all copyright rights, copyright applications, copyright registrations and like protections in each work or authorship and derivative work thereof, whether published or unpublished and whether or not the same also constitutes a trade secret, now or hereafter existing, created, acquired or held;

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (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 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.

Company: Kintera, Inc., a Delaware corporation
Number of Shares: 40,000
Class of Stock: Series G Convertible Preferred
Warrant Price: $5.00 Per Share
Issue Date: September 2, 2003
Expiration Date: The later to occur of (A) ten years following the issue date or (B) five (5) years after the closing of the initial public offering of the common stock of Kintera, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "IPO") effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or its successor) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

        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.    Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. 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 at the time of conversion. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Article 1.3.

        1.3    Fair Market Value.    If the Company's common stock is traded in a public market and the shares are common stock, the fair market value of each Share shall be the closing price of a Share reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company (or in the instance where the Warrant is exercised immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Company's initial public offering, the "price to public" per share price specified in the final prospectus relating to such offering). If the Company's common stock is traded in a public market and the Shares are preferred stock, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price of a share of the Company's common stock reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company (or, in the instance where the Warrant is exercised immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Company's initial public offering, the initial "price to public" per share price specified in the final prospectus relating to such offering), in both cases, multiplied by the number of shares of the Company's common stock into which a Share is convertible. 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 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 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.

2



    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 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.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.6.2 above, 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 Certificate 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    Adjustments for Diluting Issuances.    The Warrant Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or, if the Shares are Preferred Stock, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time in the manner set forth in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation as if the Shares were issued and outstanding on and as of the date of any such required adjustment. The provisions set forth for the Shares in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation relating to the above in effect as of the Issue Date may not be amended, modified or waived, without the prior written consent of Holder unless such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with the Shares in the same manner as such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with all other shares of the same series and class as the Shares granted to the Holder.

        2.4    No Impairment.    The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, except in a manner that does not affect Holder in a manner differently from the effect on other holders of other shares of the same series and class as the Shares, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed

3



under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder's rights under this Article against impairment.

        2.5    Fractional Shares.    No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of 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.

        2.6    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)   The initial Warrant Price referenced on the first page of this Warrant is not greater than the price per share at which the Shares were last issued in an arms-length transaction in which at least $500,000 of the Shares were sold.

            (b)   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.

            (c)   The Capitalization Table previously provided to Holder 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 to the holders of the same series of stock as the Shares; (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; or (e) offer holders of registration rights the opportunity to participate in an underwritten public offering of the company's securities for cash, 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; (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); and (3) in the case of the matter referred to in (e) above, the same notice as is given to the holders of such registration rights.

        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.

        4.6    Market Stand-Off Agreement.    In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Act, including the Company's initial public offering of equity securities, the Holder shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares without the prior written consent of the Company and its underwriters. Such restriction (the "Market Stand-Off") shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such

5


period exceed 270 days for any underwritten public offering. The Market Stand-Off restrictions set forth in this paragraph, in regards to any particular offering, shall in any event terminate, as to all underwritten public offerings by the Company so requested by the Company or underwriters, 540 days after the date of the final prospectus for the Company's initial public offering. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any stock subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such stock thereby becomes convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the stock until the end of the applicable stand-off period for such offering. The Company will do all that is necessary to remove by expiration of the applicable stand-off period such stop-transfer instructions and all appropriate legends on stock certificates. The Company's underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Section 4.6. This Section 4.6 shall not apply to any shares of the stock registered in the public offering of the Company under the Act nor to any transferee of the shares of the stock purchased from the Holder thereafter. Further, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that the terms of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.6 are consistent with, and not more detrimental to the Holder hereof than, similar provisions applicable to all other investors of securities of 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.

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.
