THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, the

While this Warrant is executed and delivered in connection

and between the Company and the Holder (the "Credit Agreement"), this Warrant is
detachable and, accordingly, (a) this Warrant can be transferred and executed by
the Holder (subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof) separately from
the Credit Agreement, and (b) the debt issued under the Credit Agreement and the
rights of the Holder thereunder are separate from this Warrant at all times
prior to and following the exercise of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be void
and all rights represented hereby shall cease on the Expiration Date.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and

Company, currently provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company, and including, for all purposes hereunder, any other capital stock of
the Company into which such shares of common stock may be converted or

2. Exercise; Issue of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a) The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the
Holder, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares of Common Stock),
at any time, or from time to time, during the term hereof, commencing upon the
date hereof.
(b) This Warrant shall be exercisable by surrendering this Warrant and the
Notice of Warrant Exercise attached hereto as Annex 1 (properly completed and
executed on behalf of the Holder) to the Company as set forth in Section 14, and
upon payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares being
purchased.
(c) Payment of the Exercise Price may be made, in the sole discretion of the
Holder, in the form of any of the following: (i) cash, (ii) a certified or
official bank check payable to the order of the Company or (iii) wire transfer
of funds to a bank account designated by the Company for such transfer.
-2-
(d) The shares so purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be, and shall be
deemed to be, issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the
close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered
and payment made for such shares as provided herein. A certificate or
certificates for the shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder, as
set forth in Section 14, as promptly as reasonably practicable following any
exercise of this Warrant, but in no event more than (10) days thereafter. Unless
this Warrant has been exercised in full or has expired, the Company shall
execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor representing the
number of shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised.
3. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of
any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the
Company shall make a cash payment equal to the fair market value of a share
multiplied by such fraction.
4. Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares; Listing. The Company
covenants and agrees that: (a) all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance, be
original-issue shares (and not treasury stock), fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, claims, liens, charges and other encumbrances with respect
to the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring
contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein and except for liens imposed by
any state or federal securities laws or created by the Holder); (b) during the
period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the
Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issue
or transfer upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of original-issue
shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented
by this Warrant; and (c) upon exercise of this Warrant, it will, at its expense,
promptly notify each securities exchange on which any Common Stock is at the
time listed of such issuance, and maintain a listing of all shares of Common
Stock from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent
such shares can be listed.
5. Adjustments to Aggregate Number.
The Aggregate Number shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as follows and thereafter as adjusted shall be deemed to be the
Aggregate Number hereunder.
(a) In case at any time or from time to time prior to the Expiration Date the
Company shall:
(i) take a record of the holders of any equity capital of the
Company for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
dividend payable in, or other distribution of, such equity
capital,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of equity capital into a
larger number of shares, or
-3-
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of equity capital into a
smaller number of shares,
then the Aggregate Number in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted
so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of
this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would have
owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of such event had
this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the occurrence of such event.
(b) In case at any time or from time to time prior to the Expiration Date, the
Company shall take a record of the holders of its equity capital for the purpose
of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution (collectively,
a "Distribution") of:
(i) cash (other than dividends payable out of earnings or any
surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under
the laws of the state of incorporation of the Company),
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness (other than Convertible
Securities), any shares of its capital stock (other than
additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities)
or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(other than cash), or
(iii) any options or warrants or other rights to subscribe
for or purchase any of the following: any evidences of its
indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), any shares
of its capital stock (other than additional shares of Common
Stock or Convertible Securities) or any other securities or
property of any nature whatsoever,
then the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon the exercise of this Warrant
at any time on or after the taking of such record, the number of shares of
Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant determined as stated
herein and, in addition and without further payment, the cash, stock,
securities, other property, options, warrants and/or other rights to which such
Holder would have been entitled by way of the Distribution and subsequent
dividends and distributions if such Holder (x) had exercised this Warrant
immediately prior to such Distribution, and (y) had retained the Distribution in
respect of the Common Stock and all subsequent dividends and distributions of
any nature whatsoever in respect of any stock or securities paid as dividends
and distributions and originating directly or indirectly from such Common Stock.
A reclassification of the Common Stock into shares of any other class of stock
shall be deemed a Distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock
of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this paragraph
(b) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a
larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such
reclassification, such event shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as
the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of
paragraph (a) of this Section 5.
-4-
(c) Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If at any time while this Warrant, or any
portion hereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i) a reorganization
(other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares
otherwise provided for herein) of the Company, or any other entity the stock
or securities of which are at the time deliverable on the exercise of this
Warrant (such other entity being referred to herein as an "Other Entity"), (ii)
a merger or consolidation of the Company or an Other Entity with or into another
entity in which the Company or the Other Entity, as the case may be, is not the
surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the Company or the
Other Entity, as the case may be, is the surviving entity but the shares of the
Company's or Other Entity's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the
merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property whether in the
form of securities, cash or otherwise, (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company's
or an Other Entity's properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety
to any other Person, or (iv) a liquidation of the Company or an Other Entity,
then this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire the number of
shares of stock or other securities which the Holder would have owned
immediately after the consummation of such reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, or liquidation if the Holder had exercised this
Warrant immediately before the effective date of such reorganization,
merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or liquidation.
(d) The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of
the Aggregate Number hereinbefore provided for in this Section 5:
(i) The sale or other disposition of any issued shares of
Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the
Company shall be deemed an issuance thereof for the purposes
of this Section 5.
(ii) The adjustments required by the preceding paragraphs of
this Section 5 shall be made whenever and as often as any
specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except as
expressly provided herein. For the purpose of any adjustment,
any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the
close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(iii) In computing adjustments under this Section 5,
fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into
account to the nearest one-thousandth (.001) of a share and
shall be aggregated until they equal one whole share.
(iv) If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
dividend, distribution, warrants or subscription or purchase
rights under Sections 5(a) through 5(b) hereof, but abandon
its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution,
warrants, subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment
shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and
any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall
be rescinded and annulled.
(e) If any event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 5 are
not strictly applicable but the lack of any provision for the exercise of the
rights of the Holder would not fairly protect the purchase rights of such Holder
in accordance with the essential intent and principles of the provisions of this
Section 5, or, if strictly applicable, would not fairly protect the conversion
rights of the Holder in accordance with the essential intent and principles of
such provisions, then the Company shall appoint a firm of independent certified
public accountants in the United States (which may be the regular auditors of
the Company) of recognized national standing in the United States satisfactory
to the Holder, which shall give its opinion as to the adjustments, if any,
necessary to preserve, without dilution, on a basis consistent with the
essential intent and principles established in the other provisions of this
Section 5, the exercise rights of the Holder. Upon receipt of such opinion,
the Company shall forthwith make the adjustments described therein.
-5-
Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter during which an
event occurred that resulted in an adjustment to the Aggregate Number pursuant
to this Section 5, and at any time upon the request of the Holder, the Company
shall cause to be promptly delivered to such Holder, in accordance with Section
14, notice of each adjustment or adjustments to the Aggregate Number effected
since the date of the last such notice and a certificate of the Company's Chief
Financial Officer or, in the case of any such notice delivered within forty-five
(45) days after the end of a fiscal year, a firm of independent public
accountants in the United States selected by the Company and acceptable to the
Holder (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company), in each
case, setting forth the Aggregate Number after such adjustment, a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which
such adjustment was made. The fees and expenses of such accountants shall be
paid by the Company.
(f) The occurrence of a single event shall not trigger an adjustment of the
Aggregate Number under more than one paragraph of this Section 5.
6. Taxes on Conversion. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of the Warrants shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
issue or stamp tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates, and such
certificates shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such names as may
be directed by, the Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that
of the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
7. Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of the exercise
of this Warrant by the Holder, shall give rise to any liability on the part of
the Holder for the Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares or as a stockholder of
the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by any
creditor of the Company.
8. Closing of Books. The Company will at no time close its transfer books
against the transfer of this Warrant or of any shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner that interferes with
the timely exercise of this Warrant.
9. Availability of Information. The Company will furnish the Holder, upon
request, copies of its annual audited financial statements, as well as copies of
all of its quarterly financials as soon as they become available. The Company
will also cooperate with the Holder in supplying such information as may be
necessary for the Holder to complete and file any information reporting forms
presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the
availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale or other
transfer of any Warrant Shares.
-6-

remedies as are available to the Holder in respect thereof under applicable law,
either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for specific
performance of any covenant or other agreement contained in this Warrant or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Warrant. No remedy conferred in
this Warrant upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy
available to such Holder, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

17. Governing Law. THIS WARRANT AND THE RIGHTS GRANTED HEREIN SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA
