      WARRANT
(“WARRANT”) TO PURCHASE SHARES

       

      OF

       

      COMMON
STOCK, $0.001 PAR VALUE PER SHARE

       

      1.    Number of Shares Subject to
Warrant.  (a) This is to certify that, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Battery
Ventures VII, L.P. (the “Investor”), is entitled,
subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, upon
surrender of this Warrant, at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but
prior to the termination of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3 hereof, at the
Warrant Price, 646,741 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the
Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), upon such
Investor’s exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

       

      (b)    Exercise
Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 1(a) hereof, in no event shall the Investor be entitled to
exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of
Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor
and its affiliates to exceed 19.99% of (x) the total outstanding shares of the
Common Stock of the Company; or (y) the voting power of the Company, following
such exercise, unless
the Company obtains the requisite shareholder approval under NASDAQ Marketplace
Rule 4350(i)(1)(B) (collectively, the “Issuance Limitations”), in
which case, the Issuance Limitations under this Section 1(b) shall no longer
apply to the Investor.  For purposes of this Section 1(b), the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor
and its affiliates shall include the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, subject in all cases to the Issuance
Limitations.  Upon the written request of the Investor, the Company
shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          1.

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

       

      following
the receipt of such notice, confirm in writing to the Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  The number of Warrant Shares
purchaseable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein.

       

      (c)             Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, the Investor shall have no
right to purchase Warrant Shares under this Warrant and this Warrant shall not
be exercisable unless and until September 30, 2008 and only in the event that
the shares of the Company’s Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) sold
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement do not automatically convert
pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Certificate of Designation for the Series B
Preferred by September 30, 2008.

nearest whole share.

       

      5.            
No Shareholder
Rights. This Warrant, by itself, as distinguished from any shares
purchased hereunder, shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company.

       

      6.            
Reservation of
Stock.  The Company shall reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance
of Warrant Shares upon the exercise or conversion of this
Warrant.  Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2.

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

       

      full
authority to the Company’s officers who are charged with the duty of executing
stock certificates to execute, issue and deliver the necessary certificates for
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of this
Warrant.

       

      7.            
Exercise of
Warrant.  Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1
hereof, this Warrant may be exercised at any time prior to its termination by
the surrender of this Warrant, together with the Notice of Exercise and the
Investment Representation Statement in the forms attached hereto as Attachments 1 and 2, respectively, duly
completed and executed, at the principal office of the Company, specifying the
portion of this Warrant to be exercised and accompanied by payment in full of
the Warrant Price (a) in cash or by certified check with respect to the Warrant
Shares being purchased or (b) by written direction of the Company to cancel a
portion of this Warrant sufficient to satisfy the “cashless exercise” provisions
of this Section 7.  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
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the
holder of such shares of record as of the close of business on such
date.  As promptly as practicable after such date, the Company shall
issue and deliver to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same a
certificate or certificates (or a direct registration system statement if the
shares are to be issued in book entry form) representing the number of full
Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise.  If the Warrant shall be
exercised for less than the total number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon
exercise, promptly after surrender of the Warrant upon such exercise, the
Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant, dated the date hereof,
evidencing the right of the Holder to the balance of the Warrant Shares
purchasable hereunder upon the same terms and conditions set forth
herein.

       

      In lieu
of payment of the Warrant Price in cash, the Holder may direct the Company to
cancel a portion of this Warrant having a value equal to the Warrant Price for
the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Holder exercises this Warrant,
determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant
is directed to be cancelled by an amount equal to the difference between (i) the
Fair Market Value on the date of exercise and (ii) the Warrant Price then in
effect.  Payment by such cancellation is referred to herein as
“cashless exercise.”

       

      8.           
Adjustment of Exercise Price
and Number of Shares.  The number of shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property
at the time receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the
Warrant Price therefor are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the
following events:

       

      (a)            
 Adjustment for Stock Splits,
Recapitalizations, etc.  The Warrant Price and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall each be proportionally
adjusted to reflect any, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of
shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event altering the
number of outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock.

       

      (b)             
Adjustment for Other
Dividends and Distributions.  In case the Company shall make or
issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders
entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common
Stock payable in securities of the Company then, and in each such case, the
Holder, on exercise of this Warrant at any time

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          3.

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

       

      after the
consummation, effective date or record date of such event (each an “Event
Date”), shall receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares (or such other stock or
securities) issuable on such exercise prior to the Event Date, the securities of
the Company to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such Event Date
if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior the Event Date (all
subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant)

       

      9.          
Adjustment for Capital
Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  If any capital
reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be
effected in such a way that holders of the Company’s capital stock will be
entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange
for the Company’s capital stock, then in each such case the Holder, upon the
exercise of this Warrant, at any time after the consummation of such capital
reorganization, consolidation, merger, or sale, shall be entitled to receive, in
lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise
of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or
property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if
such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of
such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger, or sale, all subject to
further adjustment as provided in this Section 9; and in each such case, the
terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other
securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such
consummation.

       

      10.          
Transfer of
Warrant.  This Warrant may be transferred or assigned by the
Holder hereof in whole or in part, provided that the transferor provides, at the
Company’s request, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such
transfer does not require registration under the Act and any other applicable
federal or state securities laws.

       

      11.          
Amendments and
Waivers.  This Warrant and any term hereof may only be amended,
waived, discharged or terminated by a written instrument signed by the Company
and the Investor.

       

      12.          
Governing Law;
Venue.  This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State
of New York, as such laws are applied to contracts to be entered into and
performed entirely in New York by New York residents, without giving effect to
any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New
York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York County for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such
court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum
or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of
process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such
notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law.

      13.          
Headings;
Notice.  The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of
convenience and reference only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a part
hereof.  All notices and other communications from the Company to the
Holder of this Warrant shall be delivered, personally, mailed by first class
mail, postage prepaid, or when sent by facsimile transmission or by e-mail
delivery of a “.pdf” format data file (provided confirmation of receipt is
received by the sending party transmission is mechanically or electronically
generated and kept on file by the sending party) to the address, facsimile
number or e-mail address furnished to the Company in writing by the last Holder
of this Warrant who shall have furnished an address, facsimile number or e-mail
address to the Company in writing, and if mailed shall be deemed given three
days after deposit in the United States mail.

       

      14.          
Waiver of Jury
Trial.  AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH PARTY HERETO TO ENTER
INTO THIS WARRANT, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS WARRANT AND/OR
ANY AND ALL OF THE OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS

REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

       

      Warrant
Shares

      (as
defined in the attached Warrant) of

      MRU
HOLDINGS, INC.

       

      In
connection with the purchase of the above-listed securities, the undersigned
hereby represents to MRU Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as
follows:

       

      (a)  By
acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, the undersigned is an “accredited
investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act.  The
securities to be received upon the exercise of the Warrant (the “Warrant Shares” as defined in the
attached Warrant) will be acquired for investment for its own account; not as a
nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part
thereof, and the undersigned has no present intention of selling, granting
participation in or otherwise distributing the same, but subject, nevertheless,
to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property shall at all
times be within its control.  By executing this Statement, the
undersigned further represents that the undersigned does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, or
grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to any
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

       

      (b)  The
undersigned understands that the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant at the time of issuance may not be registered under the Act, and
applicable state securities laws, on the ground that the issuance of such
securities is exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D of the Act and
state law exemptions relating to offers and sales not by means of a public
offering, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated on
the undersigned’s representations set forth herein.

       

      (c)  The
undersigned agrees that in no event will it make a disposition of any Warrant
Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Warrant unless and until (i) the
undersigned shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and
shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances
surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) the undersigned shall have
furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and
Company’s counsel to the effect that (A) appropriate action necessary for
compliance with the Act and any applicable state securities laws has been taken
or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and such laws is
available, and (B) the proposed transfer will not violate any of said
laws.

       

      (d)  The
undersigned acknowledges that an investment in the Company is highly speculative
and represents that it is able to fend for itself in the transactions
contemplated by this Statement, has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its
investments, and has the ability to bear the economic risks (including the risk
of a total loss) of its investment.  The undersigned represents that
the undersigned has had the opportunity to ask questions of the Company
concerning the Company’s business and assets and to obtain any additional
information which the undersigned considered

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

       

      necessary
to verify the accuracy of or to amplify the Company’s disclosures, and has had
all questions which have been asked, satisfactorily answered by the
Company.

       

      (e)  The
undersigned acknowledges that the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act
or an exemption from such registration is available.  The undersigned
is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act which permit
limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions. The undersigned acknowledges that if the
undersigned and its affiliates are not deemed affiliates of the Company at any
time during the three (3) months preceding a resale and the undersigned has
beneficially owned the Warrant within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six
months, any resale of the Warrant Shares by the undersigned will be subject only
to the availability of current public information about the
Company.  The undersigned further acknowledges that, if the
undersigned and its affiliates are deemed affiliates of the Company and the
undersigned has beneficially owned the Warrant for at least six months, the
undersigned understands that any resale of the Warrant Shares by the undersigned
will be subject to the current public information requirements about the
Company, volume limitations, certain manner of sale provisions and notice
requirements.
