                                 VIROLOGIC, INC.

                  WARRANT TO PURCHASE SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

NO. PCW-1                                                         MARCH 31, 2000

                            VOID AFTER MARCH 31, 2010

      THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Pentech Financial Services, Inc.,
with its principal office at 310 West Hamilton Avenue, Campbell, California
95008 or assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at
the Exercise Price (defined below) from ViroLogic, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
with its principal office at 270 East Grant Avenue, South San Francisco, CA
94080 (the "Corporation") up to 30,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock of
the Corporation (the "Preferred Stock").

      1.    DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the
following respective meanings:

            (a)   "Exercise Period" shall mean the period commencing with the
date hereof and ending ten years from the date hereof, unless sooner terminated
as provided below.

            (b)   "Exercise Price" shall mean $2.12 per share, subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below.

            (c)   "Exercise Shares" shall mean the shares of the Corporation's
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

      2.    EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by
delivery of the following to the Corporation at its address set forth above (or
at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):

            (a)   An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;

            (b)   Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or by check,
or (ii) by cancellation of indebtedness; and

            (c)   This Warrant.

                                       1
<PAGE>
            Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a
certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in
the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so
designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time
after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised.

      The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise
Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have
become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was
surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date
of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of
such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the
Corporation are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of
such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the
stock transfer books are open.

2.1.  NET EXERCISE. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if
the fair market value of one share of the Corporation's Preferred Stock is
greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below),
in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to
receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the
portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Corporation together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise
in which event the Corporation shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of
Preferred Stock computed using the following formula:

      X = Y (A-B)
          -------
             A

Where       X =   the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the
                  Holder

            Y =   the number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable under the
                  Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
                  exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the
                  date of such calculation)

            A =   the fair market value of one share of the Corporation's
                  Preferred Stock (at the date of such calculation)

            B =   Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

      For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one share
of Preferred Stock shall be determined by the Corporation's Board of Directors
in good faith; provided, however, that in the event that this Warrant is
exercised pursuant to this Section 2.1 at a time when the Corporation's Common
Stock is traded in a public market, the fair market value per share shall be
closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported by such market for the
business day immediately proceeding the date of exercise multiplied by (i) one,
if the Warrant is exercisable for Common Stock, or (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock into which each share of the class of stock issuable pursuant to
this Warrant is convertible at the time of such exercise, if the Warrant is
exercisable for shares of the Corporation's capital stock other than Common
Stock.

      3.    COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION.

3.1.  COVENANTS AS TO EXERCISE SHARES. The Corporation covenants and agrees that
all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and
outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Corporation further covenants
and agrees that the Corporation will at all times during the Exercise Period,
have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number
of shares of its Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock shall not be
sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation will take such
corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase
its authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock to such number of shares
as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

3.2.  NO IMPAIRMENT. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the
Holder, the Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed
or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect
the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

3.3.  NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a
record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining
the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash
dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other
distribution, the Corporation shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days
prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any
such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

3.4.  NO CONFLICTS. The due execution and delivery of this Warrant are not, and
the issuance of the Exercise Shares upon the exercise of the rights represented
by this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will not, conflict with the
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation, each as amended to
the date of issuance hereof.

      4.    REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.

4.1.  ACQUISITION OF WARRANT FOR PERSONAL ACCOUNT. The Holder represents and
warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant solely for its account for investment
and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Warrant or any part
thereof. The Holder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial
interests of the Warrant and Exercise Shares the Holder is acquiring is being
acquired for, and will be held for, its account only.

4.2.  SECURITIES ARE NOT REGISTERED.

                                       3
<PAGE>
            (a)   The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Exercise
Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act") on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of
the Corporation is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the
exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder
has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable
period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise),
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The
Holder has no such present intention.

            (b)   The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares
must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act
or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that
the Corporation has no obligation to register the Warrant or the Exercise Shares
of the Corporation, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.

            (c)   The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise
Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain
conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public
market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information
about the Corporation, the resale following the required holding period under
Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not
exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions for resale
set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Corporation presently
has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.

4.3.  DISPOSITION OF WARRANT AND EXERCISE SHARES.

            (a)   The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all
or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:

                  (i)   The Corporation shall have received a letter secured by
the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action
will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition;
or

                  (ii)  There is then in effect a registration statement under
the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with said registration statement; or

                  (iii) The Holder shall have notified the Corporation of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Corporation with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if
reasonably requested by the Corporation, the Holder shall have furnished the
Corporation with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require
registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable
state securities laws.

                                       4
<PAGE>
            (b)   The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates
evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:

      THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
      OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
      SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
      REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN
      OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH
      REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

      5.    ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In the event of changes in the
outstanding Preferred Stock of the Corporation by reason of stock dividends,
split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of
shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and
class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise
Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on
exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and
kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised
prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after
the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed
because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this
Warrant.

      6.    FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All
Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may
be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in
the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would
result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Corporation shall, in lieu of
issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such
fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then
current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.

      7.    REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Corporation grants registration rights to
the Holder for any common stock of the Corporation obtained upon exercise
hereof, comparable to the registration rights granted to the investors in that
certain ViroLogic, Inc. Investor's Rights Agreement dated as of August 23, 1999,
as amended through the date hereof, (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), with
the following exceptions:

      (1)   The Holder will have no demand registration rights;

      (2)   The Holder will be subject to the same provisions regarding
indemnification as contained in the Registration Rights Agreement; and

      (3)   The registration rights shall not be available to the Holder in
connection with the Corporation's first sale of its common stock to the public

                                       5
<PAGE>
pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act
of 1933.

      8.    MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENT. Holder shall not sell, dispose of,
transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter
into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale,
any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Corporation held by Holder, for a
period of time specified by the managing underwriter(s) (not to exceed one
hundred eighty (180 days) following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Corporation filed under the Securities Act of 1933. Holder
agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably
requested by the Corporation and/or the managing underwriter(s) which are
consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect
thereto, including the form of Lock-Up Agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Corporation may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Common Stock (or other
securities) until the end of such period.

      9.    NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the
Corporation.

      10.   TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws, the restriction on
transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, this Warrant and all
rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized
attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached
hereto to any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an
investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation.

      11.   LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is
lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Corporation may, on such terms as to
indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of
a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like
denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the
Corporation, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed
Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

      12.   NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent by telex, telegram,
express mail or other form of rapid communications, if possible, and if not then
such notice or communication shall be mailed by first-class mail, postage

      1.    DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the
following respective meanings:

            (a)   "Exercise Period" shall mean the period commencing with the
date hereof and ending ten years from the date hereof, unless sooner terminated
as provided below.

      The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise
Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have
become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was
surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date
of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of
such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the
Corporation are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of
such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the
stock transfer books are open.

2.1.  NET EXERCISE. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if
the fair market value of one share of the Corporation's Preferred Stock is
greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below),
in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to
receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the
portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Corporation together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise
in which event the Corporation shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of
Preferred Stock computed using the following formula:

      X = Y (A-B)
          -------
             A

Where       X =   the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the
                  Holder

            Y =   the number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable under the
                  Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
                  exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the
                  date of such calculation)

            A =   the fair market value of one share of the Corporation's
                  Preferred Stock (at the date of such calculation)

            B =   Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

      For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one share
of Preferred Stock shall be determined by the Corporation's Board of Directors
in good faith; provided, however, that in the event that this Warrant is
exercised pursuant to this Section 2.1 at a time when the Corporation's Common
Stock is traded in a public market, the fair market value per share shall be
closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported by such market for the
business day immediately proceeding the date of exercise multiplied by (i) one,
if the Warrant is exercisable for Common Stock, or (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock into which each share of the class of stock issuable pursuant to
this Warrant is convertible at the time of such exercise, if the Warrant is
exercisable for shares of the Corporation's capital stock other than Common
Stock.

      3.    COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION.

3.1.  COVENANTS AS TO EXERCISE SHARES. The Corporation covenants and agrees that
all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and
outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Corporation further covenants
and agrees that the Corporation will at all times during the Exercise Period,
have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number
of shares of its Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock shall not be
sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation will take such
corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase
its authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock to such number of shares
as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

3.2.  NO IMPAIRMENT. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the
Holder, the Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed
or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect
the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

3.3.  NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a
record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining
the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash
dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other
distribution, the Corporation shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days
prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any
such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

3.4.  NO CONFLICTS. The due execution and delivery of this Warrant are not, and
the issuance of the Exercise Shares upon the exercise of the rights represented
by this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will not, conflict with the
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation, each as amended to
the date of issuance hereof.

      4.    REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.

4.1.  ACQUISITION OF WARRANT FOR PERSONAL ACCOUNT. The Holder represents and
warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant solely for its account for investment
and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Warrant or any part
thereof. The Holder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial
interests of the Warrant and Exercise Shares the Holder is acquiring is being
acquired for, and will be held for, its account only.

4.2.  SECURITIES ARE NOT REGISTERED.

                                       3
<PAGE>
            (a)   The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Exercise
Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act") on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of
the Corporation is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the
exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder
has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable
period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise),
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The
Holder has no such present intention.

            (b)   The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares
must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act
or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that
the Corporation has no obligation to register the Warrant or the Exercise Shares
of the Corporation, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.

            (c)   The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise
Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain
conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public
market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information
about the Corporation, the resale following the required holding period under
Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not
exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions for resale
set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Corporation presently
has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.

4.3.  DISPOSITION OF WARRANT AND EXERCISE SHARES.

            (a)   The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all
or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:

                  (i)   The Corporation shall have received a letter secured by
the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action
will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition;
or

                  (ii)  There is then in effect a registration statement under
the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with said registration statement; or

                  (iii) The Holder shall have notified the Corporation of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Corporation with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if
reasonably requested by the Corporation, the Holder shall have furnished the
Corporation with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require
registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable
state securities laws.

                                       4
<PAGE>
            (b)   The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates
evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:

      THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
      OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
      SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
      REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN
      OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH
      REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

      5.    ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In the event of changes in the
outstanding Preferred Stock of the Corporation by reason of stock dividends,
split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of
shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and
class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise
Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on
exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and
kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised
prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after
the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed
because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this
Warrant.

      6.    FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All
Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may
be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in
the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would
result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Corporation shall, in lieu of
issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such
fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then
current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.

      7.    REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Corporation grants registration rights to
the Holder for any common stock of the Corporation obtained upon exercise
hereof, comparable to the registration rights granted to the investors in that
certain ViroLogic, Inc. Investor's Rights Agreement dated as of August 23, 1999,
as amended through the date hereof, (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), with
the following exceptions:

      (1)   The Holder will have no demand registration rights;

      (2)   The Holder will be subject to the same provisions regarding
indemnification as contained in the Registration Rights Agreement; and

      (3)   The registration rights shall not be available to the Holder in
connection with the Corporation's first sale of its common stock to the public

                                       5
<PAGE>
pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act
of 1933.

      8.    MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENT. Holder shall not sell, dispose of,
transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter
into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale,
any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Corporation held by Holder, for a
period of time specified by the managing underwriter(s) (not to exceed one
hundred eighty (180 days) following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Corporation filed under the Securities Act of 1933. Holder
agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably
requested by the Corporation and/or the managing underwriter(s) which are
consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect
thereto, including the form of Lock-Up Agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Corporation may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Common Stock (or other
securities) until the end of such period.

      9.    NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the
Corporation.

      10.   TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws, the restriction on
transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, this Warrant and all
rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized
attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached
hereto to any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an
investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation.

      11.   LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is
lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Corporation may, on such terms as to
indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of
a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like
denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the
Corporation, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed
Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

      12.   NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent by telex, telegram,
express mail or other form of rapid communications, if possible, and if not then
such notice or communication shall be mailed by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, addressed in each case to the party entitled thereto at the following
