and to pledge as collateral for the Personal Guaranty cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities

days that the Pledge was outstanding during such period. The Borrower shall issue the Annual
Guaranty Shares to the Lender on each anniversary date of the Initial Closing Date while the Pledge
is outstanding and, with respect to any partial year period, upon the termination of the Pledge,

collateral as security for his obligations under the Personal Guaranty under the terms agreed to by
the Senior Lender and the Lender and set forth in the Pledge Agreement by the Lender in favor of
the Senior Lender.
(b) Without limiting any other provision contained in this Agreement, in the event the
Borrower defaults on any of its obligations to the Senior Lender and, as a result, the Lender has
liability to the Senior Lender as a result of the Personal Guaranty, any amounts that the Lender is

holder and each address therefor. The Borrower shall simultaneously deliver to such holder or its

waived or amended, but only by a written instrument signed by the Borrower and the Lender.

power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights
or remedies that the Lender would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any

SENIOR SECURED SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE
ENVIRONMENTAL TECTONICS CORPORATION (the “
Company”), a Pennsylvania corporation, for value
received, and intending to be legally bound, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of
X.X. Xxxxxxx (the “
Lender”), or any assignee or holder hereof (together with the Lender, a
“
Holder”), the principal sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), plus all accrued and unpaid
interest at the rates provided herein, in lawful money of the United States of America. The
obligations of the Company under this Senior Secured Subordinated Promissory Note (this “
Note”) are
secured as set forth in the Security Agreement dated as of April 24, 2009 between the Company and
the Lender. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned
to them in the Secured Credit Facility and Warrant
Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2009,
by and between the Company and the Lender (as amended, restated or otherwise modified, the
“
Purchase Agreement”).
Payments of principal or interest on this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Holder.
1. Principal Payments. The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable five (5) Business Days following
the Shareholder Approval Date (the “Maturity Date”), unless such payment obligation is accelerated
pursuant to Section 5 hereof; provided, however, that the Maturity Date shall be extended
automatically to ____, 2012 in the event the Company receives the Shareholder Approval by the
initial Maturity Date.
2. Interest.
(a) Interest Rate. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount hereof
at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, compounded annually (the “Interest Rate”), until paid
in full; provided, however, that the Interest Rate shall be reduced automatically to ten percent
(10%) per annum, compounded annually, retroactively from the date of issuance of this Note (the
“Issue Date”) in the event the Company receives the Shareholder Approval.
(b) Payment of Interest. Interest shall be payable, at the option of the Lender, on
each anniversary date of this Note, with any accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the
Maturity Date. The Lender shall deliver to the Company at least five (5) days prior written notice
if it wishes to elect to be paid interest on any anniversary date. Interest payable hereunder will
be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, for the number of actual days elapsed during which
principal is outstanding. Interest may be payable, in the sole discretion of the Lender, in cash
or in shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.05 per share, of the Company
(“Series D Preferred Stock”), which number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be determined
by dividing the amount of interest due on an interest payment date by $1,000.00, the stated value
of the Series D Preferred Stock.
(c) Default Rate. If an Event of Default (hereinafter defined) shall occur and be
continuing, then, and in any such event, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from
time to time outstanding hereunder at the rate of the Interest Rate plus six percent (6%) per annum
(the “Default Rate”) until the entire principal evidenced by this Note and all accrued interest
thereon is paid in full or the Event of Default is cured within the applicable cure period.
3. Subordination.
(a) To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions of this Section 3 and the other
provisions of this Note, the provisions of this Section 3 shall control. By its acceptance of this
Note, the Lender and any subsequent holder hereof agrees to the terms and conditions of this
Section 3.
(b) The Lender hereby subordinates this Note and the right to receive payments of principal
and interest on this Note to the Senior Lender. Notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment
or perfection of any security interest of the Lender and the security interest of the Senior
Lender, the security interest of the Senior Lender in the property of the Company shall at all
times be prior to the security interest of the Lender. The Lender hereby agrees to execute and
deliver to the Senior Lender any reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Senior Lender
that the Senior Lender may require the Lender to execute.
4. Transfer of Securities.
(a) Restrictions on Transfer. Except as expressly set forth herein, by accepting this
Note, the Holder hereby acknowledges that this Note, and except as expressly set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock that may be issuable in
payment of interest on this Note, will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. The Holder represents that it is
acquiring this Note for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to,
(2)
or for sale in connection with, any distribution of such securities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, subject to all applicable securities laws, the Holder may transfer this Note or any
shares of Series D Preferred Stock (or any interest therein) without violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law; provided, however, that the Holder shall not transfer
this Note or any shares of Series D Preferred Stock to a competitor of the Company, or its
subsidiaries or affiliates. No transfer of this Note shall be deemed effective to the extent that
such transfer conflicts with applicable federal or state securities laws.
(b) Recording of Transfer. The transfer of the Note, or of any right to the principal
thereof, and stated interest thereon, may be effected only by surrender of the Note to the Company
and the issuance of a new note in the name of the transferee.
5. Default. If any of the following conditions or events (each an “Event of Default”)
shall occur and be continuing, then, and in any such event, the Holder may at any time (unless such
Event of Default shall theretofore have been remedied) at its option, by written notice to the
Company, declare the Note to be due and payable, whereupon the Note shall forthwith mature and
become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby
waived. In addition, in such case the Company will pay to the Holder such further amount as shall
have been incurred by the Holder as the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees.
(a) If the Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest on this Note when the
same becomes due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date or by declaration of acceleration or
otherwise and such default shall not have been remedied within five (5) days after the date such
payment was due.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred under the
Purchase Agreement and such Event of
Default shall not have been cured within the applicable cure period.
6. Miscellaneous.

or mutilation of any Note and (ii) (y) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity
(without any bond or other security) reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (z) in the case of

new Note of like tenor and date. However, the Company shall not be obligated to reissue such lost
or stolen Note if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Note.
(d) Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as confessing upon the Holder or any
other person the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Borrower.
(4)
(e) This Note shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard
to the conflict of law provisions thereof. The Company irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that

such suit, action or proceeding; and waives any objection concerning venue with respect to any
suit, action or proceeding in any of such courts.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Note to the contrary, the Company’s
liability for payment of interest shall not exceed the limits imposed by applicable usury law. If
any provision hereof requires interest payments in excess of the then legally permitted maximum
rate, such provision shall automatically be deemed to require such payment at the then legally
permitted maximum rate;
provided,
however, that in such event the Conversion Price shall be
adjusted to preserve the economic effects of the transaction contemplated by the
Purchase
Agreement.
(g) Subject to Section 4 hereof, this Note shall be binding on the Company, its successors and
assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and the Holder’s successors, assigns, legal
representatives, heirs and guardians.
(h) In the event of the commencement of a lawsuit or other proceeding to enforce any of the
terms of this Note, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees
and related out-of-pocket expenses.
(i) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR CLAIM OF ANY NATURE RELATING TO THIS NOTE, ANY
DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED IN ANY OF SUCH
DOCUMENTS. THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY.

time to time outstanding hereunder at the rate of the Interest Rate plus six percent (6%) per annum
(the “Default Rate”) until the entire principal evidenced by this Note and all accrued interest
thereon is paid in full or the Event of Default is cured within the applicable cure period.
3. Subordination.
(a) To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions of this Section 3 and the other
provisions of this Note, the provisions of this Section 3 shall control. By its acceptance of this
Note, the Lender and any subsequent holder hereof agrees to the terms and conditions of this
Section 3.
(b) The Lender hereby subordinates this Note and the right to receive payments of principal
and interest on this Note to the Senior Lender. Notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment
or perfection of any security interest of the Lender and the security interest of the Senior
Lender, the security interest of the Senior Lender in the property of the Company shall at all
times be prior to the security interest of the Lender. The Lender hereby agrees to execute and
deliver to the Senior Lender any reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Senior Lender
that the Senior Lender may require the Lender to execute.

Registration Rights Agreement, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock that may be issuable in
payment of interest on this Note, will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. The Holder represents that it is
acquiring this Note for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or
for sale in connection with, any distribution of such securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
subject to all applicable securities laws, the Holder may transfer this Note or any
(2)
shares of Series D Preferred Stock (or any interest therein) without violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities law; provided, however, that the Holder shall not
transfer this Note or any shares of Series D Preferred Stock to a competitor of the Company, or its
subsidiaries or affiliates. No transfer of this Note shall be deemed effective to the extent that
such transfer conflicts with applicable federal or state securities laws.
(b) Recording of Transfer. The transfer of the Note, or of any right to the principal
thereof, and stated interest thereon, may be effected only by surrender of the Note to the Company
and the issuance of a new note in the name of the transferee.
5. Default. If any of the following conditions or events (each an “Event of Default”)
shall occur and be continuing, then, and in any such event, the Holder may at any time (unless such
Event of Default shall theretofore have been remedied) at its option, by written notice to the
Company, declare the Note to be due and payable, whereupon the Note shall forthwith mature and
become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby
waived. In addition, in such case the Company will pay to the Holder such further amount as shall
have been incurred by the Holder as the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees.
(a) If the Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest on this Note when the
same becomes due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date or by declaration of acceleration or
otherwise and such default shall not have been remedied within five (5) days after the date such
payment was due.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred under the Purchase Agreement and such Event of
Default shall not have been cured within the applicable cure period.

Shares of Common Stock |
ENVIRONMENTAL TECTONICS CORPORATION
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, X.X. Xxxxxxx, or his registered assigns (each, a
“Holder”), is entitled to purchase from Environmental Tectonics Corporation, a Pennsylvania
corporation (the “Company”), at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as
hereinafter defined), the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.05 per share (the “Common Stock”), set forth in Section 1 hereof, at the
exercise price set forth in Section 2 hereof, subject to adjustment as provided herein. The term
“Warrant Shares”, as used herein, refers to the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This
Stock Purchase Warrant (this “Warrant”) has been issued pursuant to, and subject to the terms of,
that certain Secured Credit Facility and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2009, by
and between the Company and X.X. Xxxxxxx (the “Purchase Agreement”). The term “Warrants” means
this Warrant and any warrants issued as a result of the transfer, exchange or replacement of such
warrants. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such
terms in the Purchase Agreement.
This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions and conditions:
1. Number of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Holder shall be entitled to
purchase
shares of Common Stock under this Warrant, which number of shares of Common
Stock was determined by multiplying the principal amount of the applicable Note to which this
Warrant relates by 10% and dividing that number by the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) as of
the Issue Date (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, that if the Shareholder Approval is not
obtained by the Shareholder Approval Date, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase
shares of Common Stock, which number of shares was determined by multiplying the principal amount
of the applicable Note to which this Warrant relates by 50% and dividing by the Market Price as of
the Issue Date for the Company’s Common Stock for which this Note and this Warrant relate.
2. Exercise Price. The exercise price of this Warrant (the “Exercise Price”) shall be
a price per share equal to $ , which is the Market Price as of the Issue Date; provided,
however, that if the Shareholder Approval is not obtained by the Shareholder Approval Date,
the Exercise Price shall be $ , which is 50% of the foregoing Market Price.
3. Period of Exercise. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from time to time
beginning on the date of issuance (the “Issue Date”) and ending at 5:00 p.m., Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania time on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Exercise
Period”).
4. Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares. Subject to the
provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the
surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto
(the “Exercise Agreement”), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the
Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice to the Holder hereof), and upon payment to the Company in cash, by certified or
official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for
the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be
deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof or such Holder’s designee, as the record owner of such
shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered,
the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered and payment shall have been made for
such shares as set forth above. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the
aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the Holder
hereof within fifteen (15) business days after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder hereof
and shall be registered in the name of such Holder or such other name as shall be designated by
such Holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has
expired, the Company shall, at its expense, as soon as practicable after the date of exercise,
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
5. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as
follows:
(a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(b) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times
have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise in full of this Warrant.
(c) Listing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure the listing
of the Warrant Shares upon each securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon
which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise
of this Warrant) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain, so long as any other shares
of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares.
(d) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
2
issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, directly or indirectly, by
operation of law or otherwise, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, 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
reasonably be requested by the Holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of
the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and
purpose of this Warrant.
(e) Successors and Assigns. This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding
to the Company or its assets.
6. Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section 6. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a
fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded off to the nearest cent.
(a) Sale of Securities Below Current Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in
Sections 6(b) and 6(d), if at any time the Company shall issue or, pursuant to the provisions
hereof, be deemed to have issued (other than as set forth in Section 6(a)(vi) hereof) any shares of
Common Stock, Convertible Securities (as hereinafter defined), Rights (as hereinafter defined) or
Related Rights (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, “Securities”) without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of
such Securities, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall
forthwith be reduced to a price determined in accordance with the following formula:
EP2 = EP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) “EP2” shall mean the Exercise Price for the Common Stock in effect immediately
after such issuance of Securities;
(b) “EP1” shall mean the Exercise Price of the Common Stock in effect immediately
prior to such issuance of Securities;
(c) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior
to such issuance of Securities (excluding shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion or exercise
of preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, options, warrants and other options to purchase
or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities);
(d) “B” shall mean the number of additional shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
if such Securities had been issued at a price per share equal to EP1 (determined by
dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issue by
EP1); and
(e) “C” shall mean the number of such Securities issued in such transaction.
3
For the purpose of this Section 6(a), the following definitions, procedures and exceptions shall be
applicable:
(i) Rights. In the case of the issuance of options, warrants or other rights
to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock, whether or not at the time
exercisable (collectively, “Rights”), the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of such Rights shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Rights are
issued, for a consideration equal to the sum of the consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon the issuance of such Rights and the minimum purchase or exercise price payable
upon the exercise of such Rights for the Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise
thereof; and the consideration per share shall be determined by dividing (i) the aggregate
consideration so received by and payable to the Company, by (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Rights.
(ii) Convertible Securities and Related Rights. In the case of the issuance of
any class or series of stock or any bonds, debentures, notes or other securities or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether or not then
convertible or exchangeable (collectively, “Convertible Securities”), or options, warrants
or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Convertible Securities (collectively,
“Related Rights”), the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Securities or exercise of such Related Rights shall be
deemed to have been issued at the time such Convertible Securities or Related Rights are
issued, for a consideration equal to the sum of (A) the consideration, if any, received by
the Company upon issuance of such Convertible Securities or Related Rights (excluding any
cash received on account of accrued interest or dividends) and (B)(1) in the case of
Convertible Securities, the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the
Company upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or (2) in the case of
Related Rights, the sum of (x) the minimum purchase or exercise price payable upon the
exercise of such Related Rights for Convertible Securities and (y) the minimum additional
consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange of the
Convertible Securities issued upon the exercise of such Related Rights; and the
consideration per share shall be determined by dividing (i) the aggregate consideration so
received by and payable to the Company, by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or exercise of such
Related Rights.
(iii) Changes. On any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of Rights or Related Rights or upon the conversion or exchange of
Convertible Securities or on any change in the minimum purchase or exercise price of Rights,
Related Rights or Convertible Securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting
from the anti-dilution provisions of such Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities,
the Exercise Price to the extent in any way affected by such Rights, Related Rights or
Convertible Securities shall forthwith be readjusted to be thereafter the Exercise Price
that would have been obtained had the adjustment which was made upon the issuance of such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities been made after giving effect to such
change. No further adjustment shall be made in respect of such change upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock or any payment of
4
consideration upon the exercise of such Rights or Related Rights or the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iv) Expiration or Cancellation. On the expiration or cancellation of any such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities, if the Exercise Price shall have been
adjusted upon the issuance thereof, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such
Exercise Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of
only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such Rights
or Related Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(v) Cash. In the case of the issuance of such Securities for cash, the amount
of consideration received by the Company shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid
therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses paid or
incurred by the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance
and sale thereof. In the case of the issuance of such Securities for consideration other
than cash, the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be determined in good
faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
(vi) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment to the Exercise
Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities
issued and outstanding on the Issue Date that are set forth on Schedule 5.1(f) of the
Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms of such securities as of such date; (ii)
upon exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be exercised under any employee
benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the
issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of
the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of
non-employee directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon the issuance of the Warrants
issued or issuable in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement; (iv) upon
exercise of the Warrants; (v) upon the issuance of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock in
exchange for existing series of Preferred Stock of the Company as provided in the Purchase
Agreement or the issuance of Common Stock in conversion thereof; (vi) upon the issuance of
any shares of Series D Preferred Stock in payment of fees and/or interest on the Notes as
provided in the Purchase Agreement or the issuance of Common Stock in conversion thereof; or
(vi) upon the issuance of securities in connection with a strategic transaction that is
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, including the Holder if then a director.
(b) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides
(by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then,
after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by
reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of
Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record
for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
will be proportionately increased.
5
(c) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained
by the adjusted Exercise Price.
(d) Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of the Company with,
or merger of the Company into any other company, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or
conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant will have the right
to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock
immediately theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock,
securities or assets as the Holders of the Warrants would have received had the Warrants been
exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance. In any such case,
the Company will make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Section 6 hereof
will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any
consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor
or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or
acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock of the
Company are entitled to receive as a result of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance
assumes by written instrument the obligations of the Company under this Warrant (including under
this Section 6) and the obligations to deliver to the Holder of this Warrant such shares of stock,
securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to
acquire. This Section 6(d) shall apply to any successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
conveyances.
(e) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make any
distribution of its assets (including cash) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating
dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise, then, after the date of record for determining
stockholders entitled to such distribution, but prior to the date of distribution, the Holder of
this Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the
shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been
payable to the Holder had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution.
(f) Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which requires any
adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the Company shall give notice
thereof to the Holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such
price upon exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts
upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the chief financial
officer of the Company.
(g) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall
be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is
otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried
6
forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which,
together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise
Price.
(h) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any
fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the
Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of such exercise.
(i) Other Notices. In case at any time:
(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in shares of
stock of any class or make any other distribution (including dividends or distributions
payable in cash out of retained earnings) to the holders of the Common Stock;
(ii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification of
the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or sale of all,
substantially all or a material portion of its assets to, another Company or entity; or
(iii) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Company;
then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the Holder of this Warrant (a) notice of the
date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining the
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dividend or distribution or for determining
the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in
the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation
thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date on
which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or
subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least ten (10)
business days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company’s books are closed in
respect thereto. Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above; provided that if
notice is not given in accordance with this Section 4(i), the Company will use its best efforts to
insure that the Holder of this Warrant shall nevertheless receive the same rights and benefits
received by other holders of securities of the Company from the proceedings referred to in clauses
(i), (ii) and (iii) above, unless the Holder of this Warrant chooses not to receive such rights and
benefits.
(j) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment
provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, the Company will
give notice of such event as provided in Section 6(i) hereof, and the Company’s Board of Directors
will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of
7
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant so that the rights of the
Holder shall be neither enhanced nor diminished by such event.
(k) Definition of Market Price. “Market Price,” as of any date, (i) means the closing
sale price for the shares of Common Stock as reported on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) by
Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) for the trading day immediately preceding such date, or
(ii) if the AMEX is not the principal trading market for the shares of Common Stock, the average of
the reported closing sale prices reported by Bloomberg on the principal trading market for the
Common Stock during the one hundred twenty (120) day period immediately preceding such date, (iii)
if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Market
Price shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
7. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of this Warrant or such shares for any
issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof.
8. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the
Holder hereof to any voting rights, rights to dividends, or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder hereof
to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the
Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a
shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
9. Transfer, Exchange and Replacement of Warrant.
(a) Restriction on Transfer. This Warrant and the rights granted to the Holder hereof
are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with a properly
executed assignment in the form attached hereto, at the office or agency of the Company referred to
in Section 9(e) below; provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 9(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant, the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, and the rights granted hereunder may not be transferred
to a competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.
(b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant is exchangeable,
upon the surrender hereof by the Holder hereof at the office or agency of the Company referred to
in Section 9(e) below, for new Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new
Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the
Holder hereof at the time of such surrender.
(c) Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction,
or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon
delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company, or,
in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company,
at its expense, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
8
(d) Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer, exchange or replacement as provided in this Section 9, this Warrant
shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The Company shall pay all taxes (other than securities
transfer taxes) and all other expenses (other than legal expenses, if any, incurred by the Holder
or transferees) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of
Warrants pursuant to this Section 9.
(e) Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holder hereof), a
register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in
whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and
each prior owner of this Warrant.
(f) Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of the surrender of
this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange of this Warrant, this Warrant
(or, in the case of any exercise, the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder), shall not be registered
under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, that the Holder or
transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel
to the effect that such exercise, transfer, or exchange may be made without registration under the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws; provided however, that no
legal opinion shall be required in connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act unless in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such transfer does not comply with
the provisions of Rule 144. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial Holder of this Warrant, by
taking and holding the same, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring this Warrant
for investment and not with a present view to the distribution thereof.
10. Notices. Any notice which is required or provided to be given under this Warrant
shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given and received for all purposes when delivered by

Shares of Common Stock |
ENVIRONMENTAL TECTONICS CORPORATION
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, X.X. Xxxxxxx, or his registered assigns (each, a
“Holder”), is entitled to purchase from Environmental Tectonics Corporation, a Pennsylvania
corporation (the “Company”), at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as
hereinafter defined), the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.05 per share (the “Common Stock”), set forth in Section 1 hereof, at the
exercise price set forth in Section 2 hereof, subject to adjustment as provided herein. The term
“Warrant Shares”, as used herein, refers to the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This
Warrant has been issued pursuant to, and subject to the terms of, that certain Secured Credit
Facility and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2009, by and between the Company and
X.X. Xxxxxxx (the “Purchase Agreement”). The term “Warrants” means this Warrant and any warrants
issued as a result of the transfer, exchange or replacement of such warrants. Capitalized terms
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions and conditions:
1. Number of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Holder shall be entitled to
purchase shares of Common Stock, which number of shares of Common Stock was
determined by multiplying the principal amount of the applicable Note to which this Warrant relates
by 10% and dividing that number by the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) as of the Issue Date
(as hereinafter defined).
2. Exercise Price. The exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) shall be a price per
share equal to $ , which is the Market Price as of the Issue Date.
3. Period of Exercise. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from time to time
beginning on the date of issuance (the “Issue Date”) and ending at 5:00 p.m., Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania time on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Exercise
Period”).
4. Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares. Subject to the
provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the
surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto
(the “Exercise Agreement”), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the
Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice to the Holder hereof), and upon payment to the Company in cash, by certified or
official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for
the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be
deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof or such Holder’s designee, as the record owner of such
shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered,
the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered and payment shall have been made for
such shares as set forth above. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the
aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the Holder
hereof within fifteen (15) business days after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder hereof
and shall be registered in the name of such Holder or such other name as shall be designated by
such Holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has
expired, the Company shall, at its expense, as soon as practicable after the date of exercise,
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
5. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as
follows:
(a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(b) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times
have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise in full of this Warrant.
(c) Listing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure the listing
of the Warrant Shares upon each securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon
which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise
of this Warrant) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain, so long as any other shares
of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares.
(d) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities, or any other voluntary action, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or
otherwise, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed
or performed by it hereunder, 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 reasonably be requested
by the Holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the Holder of
2
this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant.
(e) Successors and Assigns. This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding
to the Company or its assets.
6. Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section 6. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a
fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded off to the nearest cent.
(a) Sale of Securities Below Current Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in
Sections 6(b) and 6(d), if at any time the Company shall issue or, pursuant to the provisions
hereof, be deemed to have issued (other than as set forth in Section 6(a)(vi) hereof) any shares of
Common Stock, Convertible Securities (as hereinafter defined), Rights (as hereinafter defined) or
Related Rights (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, “Securities”) without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of
such Securities, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall
forthwith be reduced to a price determined in accordance with the following formula:
EP2 = EP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) “EP2” shall mean the Exercise Price for the Common Stock in effect immediately
after such issuance of Securities;
(b) “EP1” shall mean the Exercise Price of the Common Stock in effect immediately
prior to such issuance of Securities;
(c) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior
to such issuance of Securities (excluding shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion or exercise
of preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, options, warrants and other options to purchase
or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities);
(d) “B” shall mean the number of additional shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
if such Securities had been issued at a price per share equal to EP1 (determined by
dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issue by
EP1); and
(e) “C” shall mean the number of such Securities issued in such transaction.
For the purpose of this Section 6(a), the following definitions, procedures and exceptions shall be
applicable:
3
(i) Rights. In the case of the issuance of options, warrants or other rights
to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock, whether or not at the time
exercisable (collectively, “Rights”), the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of such Rights shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Rights are
issued, for a consideration equal to the sum of the consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon the issuance of such Rights and the minimum purchase or exercise price payable
upon the exercise of such Rights for the Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise
thereof; and the consideration per share shall be determined by dividing (i) the aggregate
consideration so received by and payable to the Company, by (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Rights.
(ii) Convertible Securities and Related Rights. In the case of the issuance of
any class or series of stock or any bonds, debentures, notes or other securities or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether or not then
convertible or exchangeable (collectively, “Convertible Securities”), or options, warrants
or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Convertible Securities (collectively,
“Related Rights”), the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Securities or exercise of such Related Rights shall be
deemed to have been issued at the time such Convertible Securities or Related Rights are
issued, for a consideration equal to the sum of (A) the consideration, if any, received by
the Company upon issuance of such Convertible Securities or Related Rights (excluding any
cash received on account of accrued interest or dividends) and (B)(1) in the case of
Convertible Securities, the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the
Company upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or (2) in the case of
Related Rights, the sum of (x) the minimum purchase or exercise price payable upon the
exercise of such Related Rights for Convertible Securities and (y) the minimum additional
consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange of the
Convertible Securities issued upon the exercise of such Related Rights; and the
consideration per share shall be determined by dividing (i) the aggregate consideration so
received by and payable to the Company, by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or exercise of such
Related Rights.
(iii) Changes. On any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of Rights or Related Rights or upon the conversion or exchange of
Convertible Securities or on any change in the minimum purchase or exercise price of Rights,
Related Rights or Convertible Securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting
from the anti-dilution provisions of such Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities,
the Exercise Price to the extent in any way affected by such Rights, Related Rights or
Convertible Securities shall forthwith be readjusted to be thereafter the Exercise Price
that would have been obtained had the adjustment which was made upon the issuance of such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities been made after giving effect to such
change. No further adjustment shall be made in respect of such change upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock or any payment of consideration upon the exercise of such Rights or
Related Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
4
(iv) Expiration or Cancellation. On the expiration or cancellation of any such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities, if the Exercise Price shall have been
adjusted upon the issuance thereof, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such
Exercise Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of
only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such Rights
or Related Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(v) Cash. In the case of the issuance of such Securities for cash, the amount
of consideration received by the Company shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid
therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses paid or
incurred by the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance
and sale thereof. In the case of the issuance of such Securities for consideration other
than cash, the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be determined in good
faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
(vi) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment to the Exercise
Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities
issued and outstanding on the Issue Date that are set forth on Schedule 5.1(f) of the
Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms of such securities as of such date; (ii)
upon exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be exercised under any employee
benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the
issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of
the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of
non-employee directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon the issuance of the Warrants
issued or issuable in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement; (iv) upon
exercise of the Warrants; (v) upon the issuance of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock in
exchange for existing series of Preferred Stock of the Company as provided in the Purchase
Agreement or the issuance of Common Stock in conversion thereof; (vi) upon the issuance of
any shares of Series D Preferred Stock in payment of fees and/or interest on the Notes as
provided in the Purchase Agreement or the issuance of Common Stock in conversion thereof; or
(vi) upon the issuance of securities in connection with a strategic transaction that is
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, including the Holder if then a director.
(b) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides
(by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then,
after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by
reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of
Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record
for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
will be proportionately increased.
5
(c) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained
by the adjusted Exercise Price.
(d) Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of the Company with,
or merger of the Company into any other company, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or
conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant will have the right
to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock
immediately theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock,
securities or assets as the Holders of the Warrants would have received had the Warrants been
exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance. In any such case,
the Company will make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Section 6 hereof
will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any
consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor
or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or
acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock of the
Company are entitled to receive as a result of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance
assumes by written instrument the obligations of the Company under this Warrant (including under
this Section 6) and the obligations to deliver to the Holder of this Warrant such shares of stock,
securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to
acquire. This Section 6(d) shall apply to any successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
conveyances.
(e) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make any
distribution of its assets (including cash) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating
dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise, then, after the date of record for determining
stockholders entitled to such distribution, but prior to the date of distribution, the Holder of
this Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the
shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been
payable to the Holder had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution.
(f) Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which requires any
adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the Company shall give notice
thereof to the Holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such
price upon exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts
upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the chief financial
officer of the Company.
6
(g) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall
be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is
otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be
made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise Price.
(h) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any
fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the
Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of such exercise.
(i) Other Notices. In case at any time:
(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in shares of
stock of any class or make any other distribution (including dividends or distributions
payable in cash out of retained earnings) to the holders of the Common Stock;
(ii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification of
the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or sale of all,
substantially all or a material portion of its assets to, another Company or entity; or
(iii) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Company;
then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the Holder of this Warrant (a) notice of the
date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining the
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dividend or distribution or for determining
the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in
the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation
thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date on
which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or
subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least ten (10)
business days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company’s books are closed in
respect thereto. Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above; provided that if
notice is not given in accordance with this Section 4(i), the Company will use its best efforts to
insure that the Holder of this Warrant shall nevertheless receive the same rights and benefits
received by other holders of securities of the Company from the proceedings referred to in clauses
(i), (ii) and (iii) above, unless the Holder of this Warrant chooses not to receive such rights and
benefits.
7
(j) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment
provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, the Company will
give notice of such event as provided in Section 6(i) hereof, and the Company’s Board of Directors
will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant so that the rights of the Holder shall be neither enhanced
nor diminished by such event.
(k) Definition of Market Price. “Market Price,” as of any date, (i) means the closing
sale price for the shares of Common Stock as reported on the on the NYSE AMEX LLC, the successor to
the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), by Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) for the trading
day immediately preceding such date, or (ii) if the AMEX is not the principal trading market for
the shares of Common Stock, the average of the reported closing sale prices reported by Bloomberg
on the principal trading market for the Common Stock during the one hundred twenty (120) day period
immediately preceding such date, (iii) if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any
of the foregoing bases, the Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.
7. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of this Warrant or such shares for any
issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof.
8. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the
Holder hereof to any voting rights, rights to dividends, or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder hereof
to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the
Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a
shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
9. Transfer, Exchange and Replacement of Warrant.
(a) Restriction on Transfer. This Warrant and the rights granted to the Holder hereof
are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with a properly
executed assignment in the form attached hereto, at the office or agency of the Company referred to
in Section 9(e) below; provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 9(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant, the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, and the rights granted hereunder may not be transferred
to a competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.
(b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant is exchangeable,
upon the surrender hereof by the Holder hereof at the office or agency of the Company referred to
in Section 9(e) below, for new Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new
Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the
Holder hereof at the time of such surrender.
8
(c) Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction,
or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon
delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company, or,
in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company,
at its expense, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

connection with any transfer, exchange or replacement as provided in this Section 9, this Warrant
shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The Company shall pay all taxes (other than securities
transfer taxes) and all other expenses (other than legal expenses, if any, incurred by the Holder
or transferees) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of
Warrants pursuant to this Section 9.
(e) Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holder hereof), a
register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in
whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and
each prior owner of this Warrant.
(f) Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of the surrender of
this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange of this Warrant, this Warrant
(or, in the case of any exercise, the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder), shall not be registered
under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, that the Holder or
transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel
to the effect that such exercise, transfer, or exchange may be made without registration under the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws; provided however, that no
legal opinion shall be required in connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act unless in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such transfer does not comply with
the provisions of Rule 144. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial Holder of this Warrant, by
taking and holding the same, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring this Warrant
for investment and not with a present view to the distribution thereof.

Warrant to Purchase
Shares of Common Stock |
ENVIRONMENTAL TECTONICS CORPORATION
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, X.X. Xxxxxxx, or his registered assigns (each, a
“Holder”), is entitled to purchase from Environmental Tectonics Corporation, a Pennsylvania
corporation (the “Company”), at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as
hereinafter defined), the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.05 per share (the “Common Stock”), set forth in Section 1 hereof, at the
exercise price set forth in Section 2 hereof, subject to adjustment as provided herein. The term
“Warrant Shares”, as used herein, refers to the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This
Warrant has been issued pursuant to, and subject to the terms of, that certain Secured Credit
Facility and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2009, by and between the Company and
X.X. Xxxxxxx (the “Purchase Agreement”). The term “Warrants” means this Warrant and any warrants
issued as a result of the transfer, exchange or replacement of such warrants. Capitalized terms
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions and conditions:
1. Number of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Holder shall be entitled to
purchase _________ shares of Common Stock, which number of shares of Common Stock was
determined by dividing $500,000 by the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) as of the Issue Date
(as hereinafter defined).
2. Exercise Price. The exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) shall be a price per
share equal to $______, which is the Market Price as of the Issue Date.
3. Period of Exercise. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from time to time
beginning on the date of issuance (the “Issue Date”) and ending at 5:00 p.m., Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania time on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Exercise
Period”).
4. Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares. Subject to the
provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the
surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto
(the “Exercise Agreement”), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the
Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice to the Holder hereof), and upon payment to the Company in cash, by certified or
official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for
the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be
deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof or such Holder’s designee, as the record owner of such
shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered,
the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered and payment shall have been made for
such shares as set forth above. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the
aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the Holder
hereof within fifteen (15) business days after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder hereof
and shall be registered in the name of such Holder or such other name as shall be designated by
such Holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has
expired, the Company shall, at its expense, as soon as practicable after the date of exercise,
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
5. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as
follows:
(a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(b) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times
have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise in full of this Warrant.
(c) Listing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure the listing
of the Warrant Shares upon each securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon
which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise
of this Warrant) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain, so long as any other shares
of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares.
(d) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities, or any other voluntary action, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or
otherwise, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed
or performed by it hereunder, 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 reasonably be requested
by the Holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the Holder of
2
this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant.
(e) Successors and Assigns. This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding
to the Company or its assets.
6. Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section 6. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a
fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded off to the nearest cent.
(a) Sale of Securities Below Current Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in
Sections 6(b) and 6(d), if at any time the Company shall issue or, pursuant to the provisions
hereof, be deemed to have issued (other than as set forth in Section 6(a)(vi) hereof) any shares of
Common Stock, Convertible Securities (as hereinafter defined), Rights (as hereinafter defined) or
Related Rights (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, “Securities”) without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of
such Securities, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall
forthwith be reduced to a price determined in accordance with the following formula:
EP2 = EP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) “EP2” shall mean the Exercise Price for the Common Stock in effect immediately
after such issuance of Securities;
(b) “EP1” shall mean the Exercise Price of the Common Stock in effect immediately
prior to such issuance of Securities;
(c) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior
to such issuance of Securities (excluding shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion or exercise
of preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, options, warrants and other options to purchase
or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities);
(d) “B” shall mean the number of additional shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
if such Securities had been issued at a price per share equal to EP1 (determined by
dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issue by
EP1); and
(e) “C” shall mean the number of such Securities issued in such transaction.
For the purpose of this Section 6(a), the following definitions, procedures and exceptions shall be
applicable:
3
(i) Rights. In the case of the issuance of options, warrants or other rights
to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock, whether or not at the time
exercisable (collectively, “Rights”), the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of such Rights shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Rights are
issued, for a consideration equal to the sum of the consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon the issuance of such Rights and the minimum purchase or exercise price payable
upon the exercise of such Rights for the Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise
thereof; and the consideration per share shall be determined by dividing (i) the aggregate
consideration so received by and payable to the Company, by (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Rights.
(ii) Convertible Securities and Related Rights. In the case of the issuance of
any class or series of stock or any bonds, debentures, notes or other securities or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether or not then
convertible or exchangeable (collectively, “Convertible Securities”), or options, warrants
or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Convertible Securities (collectively,
“Related Rights”), the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Securities or exercise of such Related Rights shall be
deemed to have been issued at the time such Convertible Securities or Related Rights are
issued, for a consideration equal to the sum of (A) the consideration, if any, received by
the Company upon issuance of such Convertible Securities or Related Rights (excluding any
cash received on account of accrued interest or dividends) and (B)(1) in the case of
Convertible Securities, the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the
Company upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or (2) in the case of
Related Rights, the sum of (x) the minimum purchase or exercise price payable upon the
exercise of such Related Rights for Convertible Securities and (y) the minimum additional
consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange of the
Convertible Securities issued upon the exercise of such Related Rights; and the
consideration per share shall be determined by dividing (i) the aggregate consideration so
received by and payable to the Company, by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or exercise of such
Related Rights.
(iii) Changes. On any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of Rights or Related Rights or upon the conversion or exchange of
Convertible Securities or on any change in the minimum purchase or exercise price of Rights,
Related Rights or Convertible Securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting
from the anti-dilution provisions of such Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities,
the Exercise Price to the extent in any way affected by such Rights, Related Rights or
Convertible Securities shall forthwith be readjusted to be thereafter the Exercise Price
that would have been obtained had the adjustment which was made upon the issuance of such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities been made after giving effect to such
change. No further adjustment shall be made in respect of such change upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock or any payment of consideration upon the exercise of such Rights or
Related Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
4
(iv) Expiration or Cancellation. On the expiration or cancellation of any such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities, if the Exercise Price shall have been
adjusted upon the issuance thereof, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such
Exercise Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of
only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such Rights
or Related Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(v) Cash. In the case of the issuance of such Securities for cash, the amount
of consideration received by the Company shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid
therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses paid or
incurred by the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance
and sale thereof. In the case of the issuance of such Securities for consideration other
than cash, the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be determined in good
faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
(vi) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment to the Exercise
Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities
issued and outstanding on the Issue Date that are set forth on Schedule 5.1(f) of the
Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms of such securities as of such date; (ii)
upon exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be exercised under any employee
benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the
issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of
the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of
non-employee directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon the issuance of the Warrants
issued or issuable in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement; (iv) upon
exercise of the Warrants; (v) upon the issuance of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock in
exchange for existing series of Preferred Stock of the Company as provided in the Purchase
Agreement or the issuance of Common Stock in conversion thereof; (vi) upon the issuance of
any shares of Series D Preferred Stock in payment of fees and/or interest on the Notes as
provided in the Purchase Agreement or the issuance of Common Stock in conversion thereof; or
(vi) upon the issuance of securities in connection with a strategic transaction that is
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, including the Holder if then a director.
(b) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides
(by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then,
after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by
reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of
Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record
for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
will be proportionately increased.
5
(c) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained
by the adjusted Exercise Price.
(d) Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of the Company with,
or merger of the Company into any other company, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or
conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant will have the right
to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock
immediately theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock,
securities or assets as the Holders of the Warrants would have received had the Warrants been
exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance. In any such case,
the Company will make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Section 6 hereof
will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any
consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor
or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or
acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock of the
Company are entitled to receive as a result of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance
assumes by written instrument the obligations of the Company under this Warrant (including under
this Section 6) and the obligations to deliver to the Holder of this Warrant such shares of stock,
securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to
acquire. This Section 6(d) shall apply to any successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
conveyances.
(e) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make any
distribution of its assets (including cash) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating
dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise, then, after the date of record for determining
stockholders entitled to such distribution, but prior to the date of distribution, the Holder of
this Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the
shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been
payable to the Holder had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution.
(f) Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which requires any
adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the Company shall give notice
thereof to the Holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such
price upon exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts
upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the chief financial
officer of the Company.
6
(g) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall
be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is
otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be
made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise Price.
(h) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any
fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the
Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of such exercise.
(i) Other Notices. In case at any time:
(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in shares of
stock of any class or make any other distribution (including dividends or distributions
payable in cash out of retained earnings) to the holders of the Common Stock;
(ii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification of
the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or sale of all,
substantially all or a material portion of its assets to, another Company or entity; or
(iii) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Company;
then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the Holder of this Warrant (a) notice of the
date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining the
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dividend or distribution or for determining
the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in
the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation
thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date on
which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or
subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least ten (10)
business days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company’s books are closed in
respect thereto. Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above; provided that if
notice is not given in accordance with this Section 4(i), the Company will use its best efforts to
insure that the Holder of this Warrant shall nevertheless receive the same rights and benefits
received by other holders of securities of the Company from the proceedings referred to in clauses
(i), (ii) and (iii) above, unless the Holder of this Warrant chooses not to receive such rights and
benefits.
7
(j) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment
provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, the Company will
give notice of such event as provided in Section 6(i) hereof, and the Company’s Board of Directors
will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant so that the rights of the Holder shall be neither enhanced
nor diminished by such event.
(k) Definition of Market Price. “Market Price,” as of any date, (i) means the closing
sale price for the shares of Common Stock as reported on the NYSE AMEX LLC, the successor to the
American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), by Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) for the trading day
immediately preceding such date, or (ii) if the AMEX is not the principal trading market for the
shares of Common Stock, the average of the reported closing sale prices reported by Bloomberg on
the principal trading market for the Common Stock during the one hundred twenty (120) day period
immediately preceding such date, (iii) if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any
of the foregoing bases, the Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.
7. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of this Warrant or such shares for any
issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof.
8. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the
Holder hereof to any voting rights, rights to dividends, or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder hereof
to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the
Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a
shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
9. Transfer, Exchange and Replacement of Warrant.
(a) Restriction on Transfer. This Warrant and the rights granted to the Holder hereof
are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with a properly
executed assignment in the form attached hereto, at the office or agency of the Company referred to
in Section 9(e) below; provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 9(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant, the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, and the rights granted hereunder may not be transferred
to a competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.
(b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant is exchangeable,
upon the surrender hereof by the Holder hereof at the office or agency of the Company referred to
in Section 9(e) below, for new Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new
Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the
Holder hereof at the time of such surrender.
8
(c) Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction,
or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon
delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company, or,
in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company,
at its expense, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
(d) Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer, exchange or replacement as provided in this Section 9, this Warrant
shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The Company shall pay all taxes (other than securities
transfer taxes) and all other expenses (other than legal expenses, if any, incurred by the Holder

whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and
each prior owner of this Warrant.
(f) Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of the surrender of
this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange of this Warrant, this Warrant
(or, in the case of any exercise, the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder), shall not be registered
under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may

taking and holding the same, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring this Warrant
for investment and not with a present view to the distribution thereof.

Exhibit C
Statement With Respect to Shares
of
Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
of
Environmental Tectonics Corporation
Pursuant to Section 1522(b) of the
Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
In compliance with the requirements of 15 Pa.C.S. § 1522(b) (relating to statements with
respect to shares), Environmental Tectonics Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the
“Corporation”), desiring to state the designation and voting rights, preferences, limitations, and
special rights, if any, of a class or series of its shares, hereby states that:
FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Environmental Tectonics Corporation.
SECOND: The resolution amending the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation under 15 Pa.
C.S. § 1522(b) (relating to divisions and determinations by the board), set forth in full, is as
follows:
WHEREAS, the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation authorizes Preferred Stock
consisting of 1,000,000 shares issuable from time to time in one or more series; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (or an authorized committee thereof) is
authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law and by the Articles of Incorporation to
establish and fix the number of shares to be included in any series of Preferred Stock and the par
value, designation, rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of such series; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors, acting through its Audit Committee, intends to establish a
new series of Preferred Stock, called Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to Article 6 of the Corporation’s Articles of
Incorporation, the designation, rights, preferences, powers, restrictions and limitations
applicable to the Series E Preferred Stock be and hereby are set forth below:
1. Designation. The designation of this series, which consists of 25,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, $0.05 par value per share, is the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the
“Series E Preferred Stock”) and the stated value shall be One Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,000.00) per
share (the “Stated Value”).
2. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Statement With Respect to Shares, the
following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Common Stock” means the common stock of the Corporation, $0.05 par value per share.
“Conversion Date” means, for any Optional Conversion (as defined below), the date specified in
the notice of conversion in the form attached hereto (the “Notice of Conversion”), so long as a
copy of the Notice of Conversion is faxed (or delivered by other means resulting in notice) to the
Corporation before 4:59 p.m., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time, on the Conversion Date indicated in
the Notice of Conversion; provided, however, that if the Notice of Conversion is not so faxed or
otherwise delivered before such time, then the Conversion Date shall be the date the Holder faxes
or otherwise delivers the Notice of Conversion to the Corporation.
“Conversion Price” means, with respect to each share of Series E Preferred Stock, $2.00,
provided that such Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein.
3. Dividends.
(a) Accruing Dividends. From and after the date any shares of Series E Preferred
Stock are issued, the holder of any issued and outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock (each
a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive, out of funds legally
available therefor, cumulative dividends at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum of the Stated
Value on each share of Series E Preferred Stock (the “Accruing Dividends”) in preference to the
holders of Common Stock or any other series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation after the
date hereof and pari passu to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock of the Corporation (the
“Series D Preferred Stock”). The Accruing Dividends shall accrue on each issued and outstanding
share of Series E Preferred Stock from the date such share was issued, from day to day, whether or
not earned or declared, and shall compound annually and be cumulative. The Corporation shall only
pay the Holder the Accruing Dividends upon a Liquidation Event (as hereinafter defined) or when
otherwise declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
(b) The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other
class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required
elsewhere in the Articles of Incorporation) the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall first receive a dividend on each outstanding share of Series E Preferred Stock in
an amount at least equal to the amount of the aggregate Accruing Dividends then accrued on such
share of Series E Preferred Stock and not previously paid.
(c) The Holders shall be entitled to receive, if and when declared by the Board of Directors
and paid by the Corporation, any dividends paid with respect to the Common Stock (other than any
dividends paid in additional shares of Common Stock). In the case of any such dividend, each
Holder shall be entitled to receive an amount per share of Series E Preferred Stock held by such
Holder as of the record date for such dividend equal to the product of: (i) the amount of the
dividend payable with respect to one share of Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock that would be issued to a Holder if one share of Series E Preferred Stock were converted by
the Holder on the record date.
2
4. Conversion.
(a) Conversion at the Option of the Holder. Each Holder may, at any time and from
time to time, convert (an “Optional Conversion”) each of its shares of Series E Preferred Stock
plus all accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares
of the Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value plus the aggregate amount of the
Accruing Dividends by the Conversion Price for such shares of Series E Preferred Stock.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion. In order to effect an Optional Conversion, a Holder
shall: (x) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the
Corporation or the transfer agent for the Common Stock and (y) surrender or cause to be surrendered
the original certificates representing the Series E Preferred Stock being converted (the “Series E
Preferred Stock Certificates”), duly endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice of Conversion as
soon as practicable thereafter to the Corporation or the transfer agent. Upon receipt by the
Corporation of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion from a Holder, the Corporation shall
promptly send, via facsimile, a confirmation to such Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion
has been received, the date upon which the Corporation expects to deliver the Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Corporation
regarding the conversion. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock
upon a conversion unless either the Series E Preferred Stock Certificates are delivered to the
Corporation or the transfer agent as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Corporation or the
transfer agent that such Series E Preferred Stock Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed
and delivers the documentation to the Corporation required by Section 10(b) hereof.
(i) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon the surrender of Series E
Preferred Stock Certificates accompanied by a Notice of Conversion, the Corporation shall, no later
than the later of (a) the third (3rd) business day following the Conversion Date and (b)
the (2nd) second business day following the date of such surrender (or, in the case of
lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of indemnity pursuant to Section
10(b)) (the “Delivery Period”), issue and deliver to the Holder or its nominee (x) that number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock and
Accruing Dividends being converted and (y) a certificate representing the number of shares of
Series E Preferred Stock not being converted, if any. If the Corporation’s transfer agent is
participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program,
and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not then
required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Corporation shall
cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to
the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system (“DTC Transfer”). If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC
Transfer are not satisfied, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder physical certificates
representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion. Further, a Holder may instruct the
Corporation to deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.
3
(ii) No Fractional Shares. If any conversion of Series E Preferred Stock would result
in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded,
and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock
shall be rounded off to the nearest whole number of shares.
(iii) Conversion Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to a conversion,
the Corporation shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock as are not disputed in
accordance with subparagraph (i) above. If such dispute involves the calculation of the Conversion
Price, the Corporation shall submit the disputed calculations to an independent outside accountant
within two (2) business days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion. The accountant, at the
Corporation’s expense, shall review the calculations and notify the Corporation and the Holder of
the results. The accountant’s calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. The
Corporation shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with
subparagraph (i) above no later than two (2) business days from the date it receives the
determination from the independent outside accountant.
5. Rank. The Series E Preferred Stock shall rank (i) prior to the Common Stock; (ii)
prior to the Series B Preferred Stock; (iii) prior to the Series C Preferred Stock; (iv) prior to
any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created that does not, by its
terms, rank senior to or pari passu with the Series E Preferred Stock (collectively with the Common
Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, “Junior Securities”); (v)
pari passu with the Series D Preferred Stock and any class or series of capital stock of the
Corporation hereafter created that, by its terms, ranks on parity with the Series D Preferred Stock
and Series E Preferred Stock (the “Pari Passu Securities”); and (vi) junior to any class or series
of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created that, by its terms, ranks senior to the
Series E Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Senior Securities”), in each case as to distribution
of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary.
6. Liquidation Preference.
(a) If the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under the U.S. federal bankruptcy laws
or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an order
for relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any
substantial part of its property, or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit
in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a decree or order for
relief in respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having jurisdiction in the
premises in an involuntary case under the U.S. federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any
substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any
such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days
and, on account of any such event, the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or if the
Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up (a “Liquidation Event”), no distribution
shall be made to the holders of any shares of Junior Securities upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation unless prior thereto the Holders shall have received the Liquidation
Preference (as defined below) with respect to each share of Series
4
E Preferred Stock then outstanding. Any acquisition of the Corporation by means of a merger
or other form of corporate reorganization approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in
which all outstanding shares of Common Stock are exchanged for securities or other consideration
issued by the acquiring corporation or its subsidiary or the effectuation by the Corporation of a
transaction or series of related transactions approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
in which more than 50% of the voting power is disposed of or the sale, lease or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall be deemed a Liquidation Event
unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock elect to the
contrary; such election to be made by giving written notice thereof to the Corporation at least
three (3) days before the closing of such event. For clarification, none of the transactions
described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed a Liquidation Event unless any such transaction
is approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. In such event, the Holders will be
entitled to receive in preference to the holders of Junior Securities, the Liquidation Preference
with respect to shares of Series E Preferred Stock in the form of cash, securities or other
property as is payable in connection with the transaction deemed to be a Liquidation Event. In the
event that the Corporation sells, conveys or disposes of all or substantially all of its assets,
the Holders will be entitled to receive, prior to the holders of the Junior Securities, if and when
the Board of Directors declares a distribution of the consideration received by the Corporation in
such asset sale, the Liquidation Preference with respect to the shares of Series E Preferred Stock.
If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds available for distribution
among the Holders and holders of Pari Passu Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment
to such holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets and funds of
the Corporation legally available for distribution to the Series E Preferred Stock and the Pari
Passu Securities, if any, shall be distributed ratably among such shares in proportion to the ratio
that the Liquidation Preference payable on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation
Preference payable on all such shares. Following payments of preferences to all holders of
preferred stock of the Corporation, all remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally
available for distribution shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock, Series E
Preferred Stock (on an as-if converted to Common Stock basis) and any other capital stock of the
Corporation entitled to share in such distribution.
(b) The “Liquidation Preference” with respect to a share of Series E Preferred Stock means an
amount equal to the Stated Value thereof plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, including
the Accruing Dividends. The Liquidation Preference with respect to any Pari Passu Securities shall
be as set forth in the Statement With Respect to Shares filed in respect thereof.
7. Adjustments to the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc. If, at any time on or after the date hereof,
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend,
combination, reclassification or other similar event, the Conversion Price for each share of Series
E Preferred Stock shall be proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock is decreased by a reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, or
other similar event, the Conversion Price for each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be
proportionately increased.
5
(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time after the date
hereof, there shall be (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation or merger of the
Corporation with any other entity (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or
continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged), (iii) any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or (iv) any share exchange pursuant to which all
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into other securities or property (each of
(i) - (iv) above being a “Corporate Change”), and, if such Corporate Change is not a Liquidation
Event pursuant to the terms of Section 6(a), then the Holders shall thereafter have the
right to receive upon conversion, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable, such
shares of stock, securities and/or other property as would have been issued or payable in such
Corporate Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which
would have been issuable upon conversion had such Corporate Change not taken place, and in any such
case, appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a
majority of the Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding) shall be made with respect to the rights
and interests of the Holders to the end that the economic value of the shares of Series E Preferred
Stock are in no way diminished by such Corporate Change and that the provisions hereof (including,
without limitation, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor
entity or purchasing entity is not the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion Price
for each share of Series E Preferred Stock so that the Conversion Price immediately after the
Corporate Change reflects the same relative value as compared to the value of the surviving
entity’s common stock that existed between the Conversion Price and the value of the Common Stock
immediately prior to such Corporate Change).
(c) Adjustment Due to New Issuances of Equity Securities Below the Conversion Price.
(i) Weighted Average Anti-Dilution Formula.
(A) If the Corporation issues, after the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), any Additional
Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the
Conversion Price for the Series E Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of
such Additional Stock, the Conversion Price for the Series E Preferred Stock in effect immediately
prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this Section
7(c)(i)) be reduced to a price determined in accordance with the following formula:
CP2 = CP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(1) “CP2” shall mean the Conversion Price for the Series E Preferred Stock in effect
immediately after such issue of Additional Stock
6
(2) “CP1” shall mean the Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock in effect
immediately prior to such issue of Additional Stock;
(3) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Stock (excluding shares of Common Stock
issuable on conversion or exercise of preferred stock, convertible promissory notes,
options, warrants and other options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible
or exchangeable securities);
(4) “B” shall mean the number of additional shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued if such Additional Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1
(determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect
of such issue by CP1); and
(5) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Stock issued in such transaction.
(B) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for any series of Series E Preferred Stock will be
made in an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that are not required
to be made by reason of this sentence will be carried forward and shall be either taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3) years from the date of the event
giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or will be made at the end of three (3) years
from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the
limited extent provided for in Sections 7(c)(i)(E)(3) and 7(c)(i)(E)(4), no
adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7(c)(i) shall have the effect
of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment.
(C) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration will be deemed to
be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other
expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in
connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(D) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other
than cash, the consideration other than cash will be deemed to be the fair value thereof as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E) In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the Effective Date) of warrants,
options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock or warrants, options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions will apply for all purposes
of this Section 7(c)(i) and Section 7(c)(ii):
(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise
(to the extent then exercisable) of such warrants, options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for Common Stock will be deemed to have been issued at the time such warrants,
options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the
7
consideration (determined in the manner provided in Sections 7(c)(i)(C) and
7(c)(i)(D)), if any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such warrants,
options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such warrants, options or
rights the Common Stock covered thereby.
(2) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
of, or in exchange (to the extent then convertible or exchangeable) assuming the
satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including, without
limitation, the passage of time, for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon
the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or
exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof will be deemed to have
been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued
and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for
any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of
accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any,
to be received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the
exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined
in the manner provided in Sections 7(c)(i)(C) and 7(c)(i)(D)).
(3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or
in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or
upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities,
including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof,
the Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by
or computed using such options, rights or securities, will be recomputed to reflect such
change, but no further adjustment will be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or
any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the
conversion or exchange of such securities.
(4) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such
rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such
convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred
Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or
securities or options or rights related to such securities, will be recomputed to reflect
the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable
securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or
rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the
options or rights related to such securities.
(5) The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed
paid therefor pursuant to Sections 7(c)(i)(E)(1) and 7(c)(i)(E)(2) will be
appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type
described in either Section 7(c)(i)(E)(3) or 7(c)(i)(E)(4).
(ii) Definition of Additional Stock. “Additional Stock” means any shares of Common Stock
issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 7(c)(i)(E)) by the Corporation
after the date hereof other than:
8
(a) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in Section 7(a)
hereof;
(b) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to any employee, officer, director, consultant
or advisor of the Corporation for services provided to the Corporation directly or pursuant to any
employee benefit plan which has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, so long
as the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable (and not repurchased at cost by
the Corporation in connection with the termination of employment or other provision of services to
the Corporation and not subject to options that expire unexercised) does not exceed 1,366,890
shares;
(c) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to a bona fide firm commitment
underwritten public offering with a nationally recognized underwriter that generates gross proceeds
in excess of $30,000,000 and that is approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
including the Series E Director Nominee;
(d) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the conversion, exchange or exercise of
convertible or exercisable securities outstanding as of the date hereof or subsequently issued
pursuant to this Section 7(c)(ii);
(e) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with a bona fide business
acquisition of or by the Corporation, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or
exchange of stock or otherwise that is approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
including the Series E Director Nominee;
(f) shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock;
(g) shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of any sub-series of Series
D Preferred Stock issued in payment of fees or interest under that certain Secured Credit Facility
and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of April ___, 2009, by and between the Corporation and X.X.
Xxxxxxx (the “Purchase Agreement”);
(h) shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of those certain warrants to purchase common
stock issued or issuable in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement; or
(i) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction in which the Conversion Price
adjustments set forth in this Section 7(c) are waived by the holders of at least a majority
of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock.
(d) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of
the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly compute
such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to each Holder a certificate setting forth
such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based.

8. Voting Rights.
(a) General. The Holders shall be entitled to vote with the holders of Common Stock,
voting together as one class, on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock,
and each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock into which each such share is convertible as of the record date
for the applicable vote. To the extent that under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law the
vote of the Holders, voting separately as a class or series, as applicable, is required to
authorize a given action of the Corporation, the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at
least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock represented at a
duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall constitute the approval
of such action by the class.
(b) Election of Directors. So long as any shares of Series E Preferred Stock remain
outstanding, the Board of Directors will consist of five (5) members, one of which shall be the
Chief Executive Officer, or similar position, of the Corporation and one of which shall be
nominated by the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class
(the “Series E Director Nominee”), which director may be removed from office, and any vacancy
caused by the resignation, death or removal of the Series E Director Nominee shall be filled by the
holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock.
9. Protective Provisions. So long as any of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock
are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or
written consent) of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred
Stock (i) amend the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series E Preferred Stock set forth in
this Statement With Respect to Shares; (ii) create any new class or series of capital stock that
would constitute Senior Securities or Pari Passu Securities; (iii) redeem, or declare or pay any
dividend or other distribution on account of, any shares of Common Stock or Junior Securities
(other than pursuant to the terms of any stock option plan for directors, officers, employees,
advisors or consultants approved by the Board of Directors); (iv) amend, alter or repeal any
provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation; (v) effect any transaction
that would be deemed a Liquidation Event (as defined in Section 6(a)) or Corporate Change
(as defined in Section 7(b) hereof); (vi) authorize or enter into any transaction or series
or related transactions in which the holder or holders of capital stock of the Corporation
immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions will hold, immediately after such
transaction or series of transactions, less than a majority of the aggregate voting power of the
outstanding capital stock of the surviving entity; (vii) increase or decrease the authorized number
of directors constituting the Board of Directors; (viii) decrease the number of authorized shares
of Preferred Stock; (ix) redeem or offer to redeem any shares of Series E Preferred Stock; (x)
authorize or effect a transaction in which the Corporation would incur any debt secured by the
assets of the Corporation or amend its current secured debt facility; or (xi) enter into any
transaction, other than employment or consulting agreements in the ordinary course of business on a
basis consistent with past practices, with any officer, director or beneficial owner of five
percent (5%) or more of the Common Stock or any affiliate of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no consent or approval of the Holders will be required for, and the Board of Directors
is expressly authorized to provide for, the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock if such series
would constitute Junior Securities, by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the
10
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be
included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the
shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon.
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Cancellation of Series E Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series E Preferred
Stock are converted pursuant to Section 4, the shares so converted shall be canceled, shall
return to the status of authorized, but unissued Preferred Stock of no designated series, and shall
not be issuable by the Corporation as Series E Preferred Stock.
(b) Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) evidence of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Series E Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and (ii)
(y) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation, or (z) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Series E
Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new Series E Preferred
Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date. However, the Corporation shall not be obligated to
reissue such lost or stolen Series E Preferred Stock Certificate(s) if the Holder contemporaneously
requests the Corporation to convert such Series E Preferred Stock.
(c) Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i)
the shares covered thereby and any accrued and unpaid Accruing Dividends thereon shall be deemed
converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a holder of such converted
shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive
certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise
available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with
the terms of this Statement With Respect to Shares.
THIRD: With respect to the Series E Preferred Stock, the aggregate number of shares of such
class or series established and designated by (a) such resolutions, (b) all prior statements, if
any, filed under 15 Pa. C.S. § 1522 or corresponding provisions of prior law with respect thereto,
and (c) any other provision of the Articles of Incorporation is 25,000 shares.
FOURTH: The resolution was adopted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors effective
as of ______ ___, 2009.

Statement With Respect to Shares
of
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
of
Environmental Tectonics Corporation
Pursuant to Section 1522(b) of the
Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
In compliance with the requirements of 15 Pa.C.S. § 1522(b) (relating to statements with
respect to shares), Environmental Tectonics Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the
“Corporation”), desiring to state the designation and voting rights, preferences, limitations, and
special rights, if any, of a class or series of its shares, hereby states that:
FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Environmental Tectonics Corporation.
SECOND: The resolution amending the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation under 15 Pa.
C.S. § 1522(b) (relating to divisions and determinations by the board), set forth in full, is as
follows:
WHEREAS, the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation authorizes Preferred Stock
consisting of 1,000,000 shares issuable from time to time in one or more series; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (or an authorized committee thereof) is
authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law and by the Articles of Incorporation to
establish and fix the number of shares to be included in any series of Preferred Stock and the par
value, designation, rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of such series; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors, acting through its Audit Committee, intends to establish a
new series of Preferred Stock, called Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to Article 6 of the Corporation’s Articles of
Incorporation, the designation, rights, preferences, powers, restrictions and limitations
applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock be and hereby are set forth below:
1. Designation. The designation of this series, which consists of 11,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, $0.05 par value per share, is the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the
“Series D Preferred Stock”) and the stated value shall be One Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,000.00) per
share (the “Stated Value”). The Series D Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more sub-series
of Series D Preferred Stock to be designated: Series D-1 Preferred Stock, Series D-2 Preferred
Stock, Series D-3 Preferred Stock, and so on and so forth, the number of shares of each such series
to be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including the Series D
Director Nominee (as hereinafter defined). Each sub-series of Series D Preferred Stock shall have
all of the same rights, preferences and privileges as each other sub-series of Series D Preferred
Stock, except that the Conversion Price (as hereinafter
defined) shall differ based on the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date of
issuance of such sub-series of Series D Preferred Stock.
2. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Statement With Respect to Shares, the
following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Common Stock” means the common stock of the Corporation, $0.05 par value per share.
“Conversion Date” means, for any Optional Conversion (as defined below), the date specified in
the notice of conversion in the form attached hereto (the “Notice of Conversion”), so long as a
copy of the Notice of Conversion is faxed (or delivered by other means resulting in notice) to the
Corporation before 4:59 p.m., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time, on the Conversion Date indicated in
the Notice of Conversion; provided, however, that if the Notice of Conversion is not so faxed or
otherwise delivered before such time, then the Conversion Date shall be the date the Holder faxes
or otherwise delivers the Notice of Conversion to the Corporation.
“Conversion Price” means, with respect to each share of Series D Preferred Stock, the Market
Price as of the date of issuance of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock, provided that such
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein.
“Market Price” means, as of any date, (i) the closing sale price for the shares of Common
Stock as reported on NYSE AMEX LLC, the successor to the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) by
Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) for the trading day immediately preceding such date, or
(ii) if AMEX is not the principal trading market for the shares of Common Stock, the average of the
reported closing sale prices reported by Bloomberg on the principal trading market for the Common
Stock during the one hundred twenty (120) day period immediately preceding such date, or (iii) if
market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Market Price
shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
3. Dividends.
(a) Accruing Dividends. From and after the date a share of Series D Preferred Stock
is issued (the “Applicable Issue Date”), the holder of such issued and outstanding share of Series
D Preferred Stock (each a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive,
out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative dividends at a rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum of the Stated Value on each such share of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Accruing Dividends”)
in preference to the holders of Common Stock or any other series of Preferred Stock issued by the
Corporation after the date hereof which does not, by its terms, provide that it is senior to or
pari passu with the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to dividends. The Accruing Dividends
shall accrue on each issued and outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock from the Applicable
Issue Date, from day to day, whether or not earned or declared, and shall compound annually and be
cumulative. The Corporation shall only pay the Holder the Accruing Dividends upon a Liquidation
Event (as hereinafter defined) or when otherwise declared by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.
2
(b) The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other
class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required
elsewhere in the Articles of Incorporation) the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall first receive a dividend on each outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock in
an amount at least equal to the amount of the aggregate Accruing Dividends then accrued on such
share of Series D Preferred Stock and not previously paid.
(c) The Holders shall be entitled to receive, if and when declared by the Board of Directors
and paid by the Corporation, any dividends paid with respect to the Common Stock (other than any
dividends paid in additional shares of Common Stock). In the case of any such dividend, each
Holder shall be entitled to receive an amount per share of Series D Preferred Stock held by such
Holder as of the record date for such dividend equal to the product of: (i) the amount of the
dividend payable with respect to one share of Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock that would be issued to a Holder if one share of Series D Preferred Stock were converted by
the Holder on the record date.
4. Conversion.
(a) Conversion at the Option of the Holder. Each Holder may, at any time and from
time to time, convert (an “Optional Conversion”) each of its shares of Series D Preferred Stock
plus all accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares
of the Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value plus the aggregate amount of the
Accruing Dividends by the Conversion Price for such shares of Series D Preferred Stock.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion. In order to effect an Optional Conversion, a Holder
shall: (x) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the
Corporation or the transfer agent for the Common Stock and (y) surrender or cause to be surrendered
the original certificates representing the Series D Preferred Stock being converted (the “Series D
Preferred Stock Certificates”), duly endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice of Conversion as
soon as practicable thereafter to the Corporation or the transfer agent. Upon receipt by the
Corporation of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion from a Holder, the Corporation shall
promptly send, via facsimile, a confirmation to such Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion
has been received, the date upon which the Corporation expects to deliver the Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Corporation
regarding the conversion. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock
upon a conversion unless either the Series D Preferred Stock Certificates are delivered to the
Corporation or the transfer agent as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Corporation or the
transfer agent that such Series D Preferred Stock Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed
and delivers the documentation to the Corporation required by Section 10(b) hereof.
(i) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon the surrender of Series D
Preferred Stock Certificates accompanied by a Notice of Conversion, the Corporation shall, no later
than the later of (a) the third (3rd) business day following the Conversion Date and (b)
the (2nd) second business day following the date of such surrender (or, in the case of
lost,
3
stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of indemnity pursuant to Section
10(b)) (the “Delivery Period”), issue and deliver to the Holder or its nominee (x) that number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock and
Accruing Dividends being converted and (y) a certificate representing the number of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock not being converted, if any. If the Corporation’s transfer agent is
participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program,
and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not then
required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Corporation shall
cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to
the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system (“DTC Transfer”). If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC
Transfer are not satisfied, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder physical certificates
representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion. Further, a Holder may instruct the
Corporation to deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.
(ii) No Fractional Shares. If any conversion of Series D Preferred Stock would result
in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded,
and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock
shall be rounded off to the nearest whole number of shares.
(iii) Conversion Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to a conversion,
the Corporation shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock as are not disputed in
accordance with subparagraph (i) above. If such dispute involves the calculation of the Conversion
Price, the Corporation shall submit the disputed calculations to an independent outside accountant
within two (2) business days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion. The accountant, at the
Corporation’s expense, shall review the calculations and notify the Corporation and the Holder of
the results. The accountant’s calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. The
Corporation shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with
subparagraph (i) above no later than two (2) business days from the date it receives the
determination from the independent outside accountant.
5. Rank. The Series D Preferred Stock shall rank (i) prior to the Common Stock; (ii)
prior to the Series B Preferred Stock; (iii) prior to the Series C Preferred Stock; (iv) prior to
any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created that does not, by its
terms, rank senior to or pari passu with the Series D Preferred Stock (collectively with the Common
Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, “Junior Securities”); (v)
pari passu with any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created that, by
its terms, ranks on parity with the Series D Preferred Stock (the “Pari Passu Securities”); and
(vi) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created that, by
its terms, ranks senior to the Series D Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Senior Securities”),
in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.
4
6. Liquidation Preference.
(a) If the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under the U.S. federal bankruptcy laws
or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an order
for relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any
substantial part of its property, or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit
in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a decree or order for
relief in respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having jurisdiction in the
premises in an involuntary case under the U.S. federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any
substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any
such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days
and, on account of any such event, the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or if the
Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up (a “Liquidation Event”), no distribution
shall be made to the holders of any shares of Junior Securities upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation unless prior thereto the Holders shall have received the Liquidation
Preference (as defined below) with respect to each share of Series D Preferred Stock then
outstanding. Any acquisition of the Corporation by means of a merger or other form of corporate
reorganization approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in which all outstanding
shares of Common Stock are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued by the acquiring
corporation or its subsidiary or the effectuation by the Corporation of a transaction or series of
related transactions approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in which more than 50%
of the voting power is disposed of or the sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Corporation, shall be deemed a Liquidation Event unless the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock elect to the contrary; such election
to be made by giving written notice thereof to the Corporation at least three (3) days before the
closing of such event. For clarification, none of the transactions described in the preceding
sentence shall be deemed a Liquidation Event unless any such transaction is approved by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation. In such event, the Holders will be entitled to receive in
preference to the holders of Junior Securities, the Liquidation Preference with respect to shares
of Series D Preferred Stock in the form of cash, securities or other property as is payable in
connection with the transaction deemed to be a Liquidation Event. In the event that the
Corporation sells, conveys or disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, the Holders will
be entitled to receive, prior to the holders of the Junior Securities, if and when the Board of
Directors declares a distribution of the consideration received by the Corporation in such asset
sale, the Liquidation Preference with respect to the shares of Series D Preferred Stock. If, upon
the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds available for distribution among the
Holders and holders of Pari Passu Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such
holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets and funds of the
Corporation legally available for distribution to the Series D Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu
Securities, if any, shall be distributed ratably among such shares in proportion to the ratio that
the Liquidation Preference payable on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference
payable on all such shares. Following payments of preferences to all holders of preferred stock of
the Corporation, all remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for
distribution shall be distributed ratably to the
5
holders of Common Stock, Series D Preferred Stock (on an as-if converted to Common Stock
basis) and any other capital stock of the Corporation entitled to share in such distribution.
(b) The “Liquidation Preference” with respect to a share of Series D Preferred Stock means an
amount equal to the Stated Value thereof plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, including
the Accruing Dividends. The Liquidation Preference with respect to any Pari Passu Securities shall
be as set forth in the Statement With Respect to Shares filed in respect thereof.
7. Adjustments to the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc. If, at any time on or after the date hereof,
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend,
combination, reclassification or other similar event, the Conversion Price for each share of Series
D Preferred Stock shall be proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock is decreased by a reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, or
other similar event, the Conversion Price for each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be
proportionately increased.
(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time after the date
hereof, there shall be (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation or merger of the
Corporation with any other entity (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or
continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged), (iii) any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or (iv) any share exchange pursuant to which all
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into other securities or property (each of
(i) - (iv) above being a “Corporate Change”), and, if such Corporate Change is not a Liquidation
Event pursuant to the terms of Section 6(a), then the Holders shall thereafter have the
right to receive upon conversion, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable, such
shares of stock, securities and/or other property as would have been issued or payable in such
Corporate Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which
would have been issuable upon conversion had such Corporate Change not taken place, and in any such
case, appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a
majority of the Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding) shall be made with respect to the rights
and interests of the Holders to the end that the economic value of the shares of Series D Preferred
Stock are in no way diminished by such Corporate Change and that the provisions hereof (including,
without limitation, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor
entity or purchasing entity is not the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion Price
for each share of Series D Preferred Stock so that the Conversion Price immediately after the
Corporate Change reflects the same relative value as compared to the value of the surviving
entity’s common stock that existed between the Conversion Price and the value of the Common Stock
immediately prior to such Corporate Change).
6
(c) Adjustment Due to New Issuances of Equity Securities Below the Conversion Price.
(i) Weighted Average Anti-Dilution Formula.
(A) If the Corporation issues, after the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), any Additional
Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the
Conversion Price for any sub-series of the Series D Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to
the issuance of such Additional Stock, the Conversion Price for such sub-series of the Series D
Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as
otherwise provided in this Section 7(c)(i)) be reduced to a price determined in accordance
with the following formula:
CP2 = CP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(1) “CP2” shall mean the Conversion Price for the Series D Preferred Stock in effect
immediately after such issue of Additional Stock
(2) “CP1” shall mean the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock in effect
immediately prior to such issue of Additional Stock;
(3) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Stock (excluding shares of Common Stock
issuable on conversion or exercise of preferred stock, convertible promissory notes,
options, warrants and other options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible
or exchangeable securities);
(4) “B” shall mean the number of additional shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued if such Additional Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1
(determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect
of such issue by CP1); and
(5) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Stock issued in such transaction.
(B) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for any series of Series D Preferred Stock will be
made in an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that are not required
to be made by reason of this sentence will be carried forward and shall be either taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3) years from the date of the event
giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or will be made at the end of three (3) years
from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the
limited extent provided for in Sections 7(c)(i)(E)(3) and 7(c)(i)(E)(4), no
adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7(c)(i) shall have the effect
of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment.
7
(C) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration will be deemed to
be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other
expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in
connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(D) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other
than cash, the consideration other than cash will be deemed to be the fair value thereof as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E) In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the Effective Date) of warrants,
options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock or warrants, options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions will apply for all purposes
of this Section 7(c)(i) and Section 7(c)(ii):
(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise
(to the extent then exercisable) of such warrants, options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for Common Stock will be deemed to have been issued at the time such warrants,
options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined
in the manner provided in Sections 7(c)(i)(C) and 7(c)(i)(D)), if any,
received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such warrants, options or rights plus the
minimum exercise price provided in such warrants, options or rights the Common Stock covered
thereby.
(2) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
of, or in exchange (to the extent then convertible or exchangeable) assuming the
satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including, without
limitation, the passage of time, for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon
the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or
exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof will be deemed to have
been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued
and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for
any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of
accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any,
to be received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the
exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined
in the manner provided in Sections 7(c)(i)(C) and 7(c)(i)(D)).
(3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or
in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or
upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities,
including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof,
the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by
or computed using such options, rights or securities, will be recomputed to reflect such

(b) Notice to Account Debtors and Contracting Parties. Upon the request of the Lender
at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Debtors
shall notify account debtors on the Accounts and parties to the Contracts that the Accounts and the
Contracts have been assigned to the Lender and shall indicate on all xxxxxxxx that payments in
respect thereof shall be made directly to the Lender. The Lender may in the name of the Debtors or
in the name of others communicate with account debtors on the Accounts and parties to the Contracts
to verify with them to its satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts or
Contracts.
(c) Analysis of Accounts. The Lender shall have the right to make test verifications
of the Accounts through periodic site visits as provided in Section 7.1(i) of the Purchase
Agreement, and the Debtors shall furnish all such assistance and information as the
4
Lender may reasonably require in connection therewith. At any time, and from time to time,
but in no event more than twice in any given twelve month period, upon the Lender’s request and at
the expense of the Debtors, the Debtors shall cause independent public accountants or others
satisfactory to the Lender to furnish to the Lender reports showing reconciliations, aging and test
verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts; provided that any such reconciliation,

in their discretion towards payment of the Obligations or other corporate purposes. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default which has not been waived by or cured to the satisfaction of the
Lender and subject to the direction of the Lender, (i) the authority hereby given to the Debtors to
collect the Proceeds of Accounts may be terminated by the Lender at any time and after being
notified of such termination, the Debtors shall deliver to the Lender on the date of receipt
thereof by the Debtors all Proceeds in the form of cash, checks, drafts, notes and other
remittances received in payment of or on account of the Debtors’ Accounts; (ii) following receipt
by the Lender any such Proceeds shall be deposited in a special bank account (the “Cash Collateral
Account”) of the Debtors maintained at a commercial bank chosen by the Lender over which the Lender
alone shall have power of withdrawal; (iii) all Proceeds other than cash shall be deposited in
precisely the form in which received, except for the addition thereto of the endorsement of the
Debtors when necessary to permit collection of the items, which endorsement the Debtors agree to
make; and (iv) the Debtors will not commingle any such Proceeds with any of the Debtors’ other
funds or property but will hold them separate and apart from any other funds or property and upon
an express trust for the Lender until deposit thereof is made in the Cash Collateral Account.
4. Representations and Warranties. The Debtors hereby jointly and severally represent
and warrant that:
(a) Title; No Other Liens. Except for the Liens granted hereby, the Liens granted to
PNC pursuant to the PNC Security Agreement and any other Permitted Liens, one or more of the
Debtors own each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others.
No security agreement, financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part
of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as may have been filed
in favor of the Lender, pursuant to this Agreement or as may be permitted pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.
(b) Perfected Second Priority Liens. Upon the Lender taking all action necessary
under the UCC to perfect its security interest in and to the Collateral, the Liens granted pursuant
to this Agreement constitute perfected Liens on the Collateral in favor of the Lender, which are
prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof (other than Permitted
Liens) and are enforceable as such against all creditors of and purchasers from the
5
Debtors and against any owner or purchaser of the real property where any of the Equipment is
located and any present or future creditor obtaining a Lien on such real property.
(c) Accounts. The amount represented by the Debtors to the Lender in any accounts
receivable aging and in other reports requested by or furnished to the Lender as owing by each
account debtor or by all account debtors in respect of the Accounts will at such time be the
correct amount actually owing by such account debtor or debtors thereunder except for normal cash
discounts and allowances where applicable. No amount payable to the Debtors under or in connection
with any Account is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to
the Lender. The Debtors keep their records concerning the Accounts at the location or locations
set forth in Schedule IV.
(d) Contracts. Except as contemplated hereby, no consent of any party (other than the
Debtors) to any material Contract is required, or purports to be required, in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. Each material Contract is in full force and
effect and constitutes a valid and legally enforceable obligation of the parties thereto, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally. No consent or authorization of, filing
with or other act by or in respect of any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the
execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of any of the Contracts by any party
thereto other than those which have been duly obtained, made or performed, are in full force and
effect and do not subject the scope of any such Contract to any material adverse limitation, either
specific or general in nature. Neither the Debtors nor (to the best of the Debtors’ knowledge) any
other party to any Contract are in default of any material provision thereof or are likely to
become in default in the performance or observance of any of the material provisions thereof. The
Debtors have fully performed all their material obligations under each Contract. The right, title
and interest of each Debtor in, to and under each Contract to which such Debtor is a party are not
subject to any defense, offset, counterclaim or claim which would materially adversely affect the
value of such Contract as Collateral, nor have any of the foregoing been asserted or alleged
against the Debtors as to any Contract. No amount payable to the Debtors under or in connection
with any Contract is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to
the Lender.
(e) Inventory. The types, amounts and valuations of the Inventory or any other
information regarding the same represented by the Debtors in any reports requested by or furnished
to the Lender, or any other holders of the Obligations will at such time be accurate to the best of
the Debtors’ knowledge. The Debtors keep records concerning the Inventory at the location or
locations listed on Schedule V. Except for Inventory in transit, work in progress at other
locations and consigned Inventory, the Inventory is kept at the locations listed on Schedule
VI hereto.
(f) Equipment. The Equipment is kept at the locations listed on Schedule VII
hereto.
(g) Chief Executive Office; Place of Organization. The locations of each Debtor’s
chief executive office, chief place of business, form of and place of organization are set forth on
Schedule VIII.

Products.
(i) Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights. Schedule I hereto includes all
Copyrights and Copyright Licenses (except licenses to use off-the-shelf software in the ordinary
course of business) owned by the Debtors in its own name as of the date hereof. Schedule
II hereto includes all Patents and Patent Licenses owned by each of the Debtors in its own name
as of the date hereof. Schedule III hereto includes all Trademarks and Trademark Licenses
owned by each of the Debtors in its own name as of the date hereof. To the best of the Debtors’
knowledge, each Copyright, Patent and Trademark is valid, subsisting, unexpired, enforceable and
has not been abandoned. Except as set forth in any such Schedule, none of such Copyrights, Patents
or Trademarks is the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement. No holding, decision or
judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority which would limit, cancel or question the
validity of any Copyright, Patent or Trademark. Except as set forth in any such Schedule, no
action or proceeding is pending (i) seeking to limit, cancel or question the validity of any
Copyright, Patent or Trademark, or (ii) which, if adversely determined, would have a material
adverse effect on the value of any Copyright, Patent or Trademark.
(j) Power and Authority; Authorization. The Debtors have the corporate or other power
and authority and the legal right to execute and deliver, to perform their obligations under, and
to grant the Liens on the Collateral pursuant to, this Agreement and have taken all necessary
corporate or other action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of, and grant of the
Liens on the Collateral pursuant to, this Agreement.

of each of the Debtors enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be

violate any provision of any Law or any obligation under any agreement, instrument, document or
contract to which any of the Debtors is a party (each, a “Contractual Obligation”) and will not
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the properties or revenues of any of the
Debtors pursuant to any Law or Contractual Obligation of any of the Debtors, except as contemplated
hereby.
(m) No Consents, etc. Except as contemplated hereby, no consent or authorization of,
filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any arbitrator or Governmental Authority and no
consent of any other Person (including, without limitation, any stockholder or creditor of any of
the Debtors), is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement (except for the filing of the UCC financing statements).
(n) No Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(j) to the Purchase

Contract for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Account or Contract, the
Debtors will save, indemnify and keep the Lender harmless from and against all expense, loss or
damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of
liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by the
Debtors of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or
liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from

the peace to enter into and upon any premises where any of the Inventory or Equipment is located
for the purpose of examining, inspecting or auditing the same, observing its use or otherwise
protecting their interests therein.
(e) Compliance with Laws, etc. Comply in all material respects with all Laws
applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of its business; provided,
however, that the Debtors may contest any Law in any reasonable manner which shall not, in the sole
opinion of the Lender, adversely affect the Lender’s rights or the priority of his Liens on the
Collateral.

respects with all of its material obligations under the Contracts and all of its other Contractual

(k) Further Identification of Collateral. Furnish to the Lender, from time to time,
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports
in connection with the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(l) Notices. Advise the Lender promptly, in reasonable detail, at its address set
forth in the Purchase Agreement, (i) of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on, or claim asserted

judgment to do otherwise and, if after the occurrence of an Event of Default which has not been
waived or cured to the satisfaction of the Lender with the prior written consent of the Lender, (i)
continue to use each Trademark on each and every trademark class of goods applicable to its current

pursuant to this Agreement, and (v) not (and not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do
any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Trademark or Copyright may become invalidated.
(ii) Not, unless any of the Debtors deems it appropriate in the exercise of its reasonable
business judgment to do otherwise and, if after the occurrence of an Event of Default which has not
been waived by or cured to the satisfaction of the Lender with the prior written consent of the
Lender, do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent may become abandoned or dedicated.
(iii) Notify the Lender immediately if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application
or registration relating to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright may become abandoned or dedicated,
or of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of,

Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country)
regarding its ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright or its right to register the same or
to keep and maintain the same.
(iv) Whenever any of the Debtors, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or
designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar
office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, report such filing to
the Lender within five (5) Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such
filing occurs. Upon request of the Lender, the Debtors shall execute and deliver any and all
agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Lender may request to evidence the Lender’s
security interest in any Patent, Trademark or Copyright and the goodwill and general intangibles of
the Debtors relating thereto or represented thereby, and the Debtors hereby constitute the Lender,
its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of
such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power being coupled with an interest is
irrevocable until the Obligations are paid in full and the Credit Facility is terminated.
(v) Take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation, in any proceeding
before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any
similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and
pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration
of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, including, without limitation, filing of applications
for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability.
(vi) In the event that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright included in the Collateral is
materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, promptly notify the Lender after
it learns thereof and shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that such Patent, Trademark or
Copyright is of negligible economic value to it, which determination it shall
11
promptly report to the Lender, promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to
seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement,
misappropriation or dilution, or take such other actions as it shall reasonably deem appropriate
under the circumstances to protect such Patent, Trademark or Copyright.
6. Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Powers. The Debtors hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Lender and any
agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Debtors and in the name of the
Debtors or in its own name, from time to time in the Lender’s discretion, for the purpose of
carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any
and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Debtors hereby give the
Lender the power and right, on behalf of the Debtors, without notice to or assent by the Debtors,
to do the following:
(i) in the case of any Account, at any time when the authority of the Debtors to collect the
Accounts has been curtailed or terminated pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof, or in the case of any
other Collateral, at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, in
the name of the Debtors or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and indorse and
collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due
under any Account, Instrument, General Intangible or Contract or with respect to any other
Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or
equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such
moneys due under any Account, Instrument, General Intangible or Contract or with respect to any
other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral (other than Permitted Liens), to effect any repairs or procure any insurance called for
by the terms of this Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs
thereof;
(iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (A) to direct
any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys
due or to become due thereunder directly to the Lender or as the Lender shall direct; (B) to ask or
demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other
amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to

receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in
connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or
proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or
any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any
suit, action or proceeding brought against the Debtors or any of them with respect to any
Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause
(E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Lender may deem
appropriate; (G) to assign any Patent or Trademark (along with the
12
goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such
term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Lender shall in its sole discretion
determine; and (H) subject to the terms of Section 19, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as
though the Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Lender’s
option and the Debtors’ expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the
Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender’s Liens
thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Debtors
might do; and
(iv) execute in its own name or on behalf of the Debtors such UCC financing Statements forms
and similar instruments as the Lender may from time to time deem reasonably necessary or desirable
to protect the security interests of the Lender and any other holders of the Obligations.
The Debtors hereby ratify all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
(b) Other Powers. The Debtors also authorize the Lender, and any other holders of the
Obligations, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided
for in Section 8 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or
transfer with respect to the Collateral.
(c) No Duty on the Lender’s Part. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are
solely to protect the Lender’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the
Lender to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that Lender
actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their
officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Debtors for any act or failure
to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7. Performance by the Lender of Debtors’ Obligations. If any of the Debtors fails to
perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Lender, as provided for by
the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or
compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the Lender incurred in connection with such
performance or compliance shall be payable by the Debtors to the Lender on demand and shall
constitute Obligations secured hereby, and if not promptly repaid to the Lender shall bear interest
thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (as defined in the Notes).
8. Remedies.
(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and all applicable notice and cure
periods shall have expired, the Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies
granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or
relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender, without demand of performance or other
demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by
law referred to below) to or upon the Debtors or any other Person (all and
13
each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise
dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing),
in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or
office of the Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at
such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of
any credit risk. The Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the
extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of
the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Debtors, which right or
equity is hereby waived or released. The Debtors further agree, at the Lender’s request, to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at places which the Lender shall
reasonably select, whether at the Debtors’ premises or elsewhere. The Lender shall apply the net
proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the
care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights
of the Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Lender
may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Lender of any other amount
required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9615 of the Code, need the
Lender account for the surplus, if any, to the Debtors. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
each of the Debtors waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Lender
arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or
other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable
and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. The Debtors shall
remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by
the Lender to collect such deficiency.
(b) The Debtors agree, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
to take any actions that the Lender may request in order to enable the Lender to obtain and enjoy
the full rights and benefits granted to the Lender under this Agreement and any other Transaction
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Debtors shall upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at the Debtors’ sole cost and expense, assist
in obtaining all approvals which are then required by law for or in connection with any action or
transaction contemplated by this Agreement or Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in any applicable jurisdiction.
9. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Lender’s sole duty
with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its
possession, under Section 9207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same
manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own account. No holder of any Obligation,
nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to
demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or
shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
the Debtors or otherwise.
14
10. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained
with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
11. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
12. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into
consideration in the interpretation hereof.
13. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No holder of any Obligation shall by any act
(except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 14 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or
otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event
of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor
any delay in exercising, on the part of the any holder of the Obligations, any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any holder of any Obligations of any right or
remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which
such holder would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided
are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.
14. Waivers and Amendments; Parties Bound; Governing Law. None of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a
written instrument executed by the Debtors and the Lender; provided that any provision of
this Agreement may be waived by the Lender in a written letter or agreement executed by the Lender
or by telex or facsimile transmission from the Lender. This Agreement shall be the joint and
several obligation of the Debtors; each of the Debtors shall have made all of the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
respective successors and permitted assigns of the Debtors and shall inure to the benefit of the
Lender and its successors and assigns. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA.
15. Notices. All notices hereunder to the Debtors or the Lender to be effective shall
be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be
deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered or sent in the manner and to the respective
addresses as provided in Section 9.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
16. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.
(a) Each of the Debtors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
15
(i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of Xxxxxxxxxx County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the courts of the
United States of America for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and appellate courts from any
thereof;
(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such courts, and waives
(to the extent permitted by applicable law) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was
brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail),
postage prepaid, to the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement or at such other address of

(iv) waives and hereby acknowledges that it is estopped from raising any objections based on
forum non conveniens, any claim that any of the above-referenced courts lack proper venue or any
objection that any of such courts lack personal jurisdiction over it so as to prohibit such courts
from adjudicating any issues raised in a complaint filed with such courts against it concerning
this Agreement;
(v) acknowledges and agrees that the choice of forum contained in this paragraph shall not be
deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment contained in any forum or the taking of any
action under this Agreement to enforce the same in any appropriate jurisdiction;
(vi) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this subsection any special, exemplary or
punitive or consequential damages; and
(vii) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction.
(b) Each of the Debtors hereby unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or
proceeding referred to in paragraph (a) above.
17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together
shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement
signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Debtors and the Lender.
18. Further Assurances. The parties acknowledge their intent that, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Lender shall receive, to the
fullest extent permitted by all Laws and governmental policy, all rights necessary or desirable to
obtain, use or sell the Collateral, and to exercise all remedies available to it under this
16
Agreement, the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, or other
applicable law. The parties further acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any change in law
or governmental policy occurring subsequent to the date hereof that affects in any manner the
Lender’s rights of access to, or use or sale of, the Collateral, or the procedures necessary to
enable the Lender to obtain such rights of access, use or sale, the Lender and the Debtors shall
amend this Agreement in such manner as the Lender shall request, in order to provide to the Lender
such rights to the greatest extent possible consistent with all Laws and governmental policy.
19. Release. This Agreement and related instruments delivered to the Lender hereunder
shall be released by the Lender upon the date on which the Obligations are paid in full and the
Credit Facility is terminated. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender or any holder of the Obligations
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any of the Debtors
or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee
or similar officer for any of the Debtors or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payments had not been made.
20. CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. EACH DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY

OR ELSEWHERE, TO APPEAR FOR SUCH DEBTOR AT ANY TIME OR TIMES, AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF
DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE NOTES IN ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY

2007 Registration Rights Agreement in their entirety as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
(a) “Investors” means Xxxxxxx and any transferees or assignees who agree to become bound by
the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 hereof.
(b) “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing
and filing a Registration Statement or Registration Statements in compliance with the Securities
Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering
securities on a continuous basis (“Rule 415”), and the declaration or
2
ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

(d) “Registration Statement” means a registration statement of the Company under the
Securities Act.
2. REGISTRATION.
(a) Demand Registration. Upon receipt of a written request (a “Demand Request”) from
Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities, which Demand Request shall set forth
the number of Registrable Securities the Investors are seeking to have registered, the Company
shall prepare and file with the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60)
days from the date of its receipt of a Demand Request, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if
Form S-3 is not then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is then available to
effect a registration of all of the Registrable Securities) covering the resale of the Registrable
Securities which are the subject of the Demand Request. The Registration Statement filed
hereunder, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder
(including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate
number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable to prevent dilution resulting
from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. The Investors shall not be entitled to
make more than six (6) Demand Requests pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, the Investors
shall not be entitled to make more than two (2) Demand Requests during any twelve (12) month
period. A registration request pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall not be deemed to have been
effected and shall not be considered a demand registration which may be requested pursuant to this
Section 2(a) unless a registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 2(a) has been declared
effective by the SEC.
(b) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time prior to the expiration of the
Registration Period (as hereinafter defined), the Company shall file with the SEC a Registration
Statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities
Act of any of its equity securities (other than the amendment of a registration statement now on
file, registration statements on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity
securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or
equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), the
Company shall send to each Investor written notice of such filing and, if within fifteen (15) days
after the receipt of such notice, an Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall
include in such Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities such Investor
requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any underwritten public offering, the
3
managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common
Stock which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’
judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public
distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only
such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has
requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall permit. Any exclusion of Registrable
Securities shall be made pro rata among the Investors seeking to include Registrable Securities, in
proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Investors;
provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company
has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not contractually entitled
to inclusion of such securities in such Registration Statement or are not contractually entitled to
pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and provided, further, however, that, after
giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall
be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the contractual right to include such
securities in the Registration Statement other than holders of securities contractually entitled to
inclusion of their securities in such Registration Statement by reason of demand registration
rights. If an offering in connection with which an Investor is entitled to registration under this
Section 2(b) is an underwritten offering, then each Investor whose Registrable Securities are
included in such Registration Statement shall offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an
underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such
underwritten offering.
(c) Registrations on Form S-3. Upon receipt of a written request (an “S-3 Request”)
from Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities, which S-3 Request shall set forth
the number of Registrable Securities the Investors are seeking to have registered, if the Company
is eligible at the time of such request to use Form S-3, the Company shall prepare and file with
the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days from the date of its
receipt of an S-3 Request, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of the
Registrable Securities which are the subject of the S-3 Request. The Registration Statement filed
hereunder, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder
(including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate
number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable to prevent dilution resulting
from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. The Investors shall not be entitled to
make more than two (2) S-3 Requests during any twelve (12) month period.
3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.
In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall have the
following obligations:
(a) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement in accordance
with Section 2, and cause such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to
become effective as soon as practicable after such filing, and keep such Registration Statement
effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on
which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold and (ii) the date on which
4
all of the Registrable Securities (in the opinion of counsel to the Investors, which shall be
sought upon the request of the Company) may be immediately sold to the public without registration
or restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor provision (the
“Registration Period”), which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements
thereto and prospectuses contained therein and all documents incorporated by reference therein)
shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (iii) shall
comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder. The financial statements of the Company included in
the Registration Statement or incorporated by reference therein will comply in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the
SEC applicable with respect thereto. Such financial statements will be prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved
(except in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes
or may be condensed on summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates
thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to immaterial year-end adjustments).
(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective at
all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of
the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company
covered by the Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) such time as all of such Registrable
Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement or (ii) the expiration of the
Registration Period.
(c) The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in
the Registration Statement and its legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and
publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, one copy of the Registration
Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment
or supplement thereto, and, in the case of the Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a),
each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC (including,
without limitation, any request to accelerate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or
amendment thereto), and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each
case relating to the Registration Statement (other than any portion, if any, thereof which contains
information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), (ii) on the date of
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, a notice stating that the
Registration Statement or amendment has been declared effective, and (iii) such number of copies of
a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and
such other documents as such Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
5
(d) The Company shall (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the
United States as each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being offered reasonably requests,
(ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments)
and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the
effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be
necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the
Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify
the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (A) qualify to do
business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
Section 3(d), (B) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (C) file a general
consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, (D) provide any undertakings that cause the
Company undue expense or burden, or (E) make any change in its charter or bylaws, which in each
case the Board of Directors of the Company determines to be contrary to the best interests of the
Company and its shareholders.
(e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify
each Investor of the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of
which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, promptly prepare a supplement or
amendment to the Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver
such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may
reasonably request.
(f) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts (i) to prevent the issuance of any stop
order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, and, if such an order is
issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest practicable moment (including in
each case by amending or supplementing such Registration Statement) and (ii) to notify each
Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering,
the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof (and if such
Registration Statement is supplemented or amended, deliver such number of copies of such supplement
or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request).
(g) The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Investors to review
the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto a reasonable period of time
prior to its filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which such counsel
reasonably objects.
(h) At the request of an Investor in the case of an underwritten public offering, the Company
shall furnish, on the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (i) an opinion, dated as
of such date, from counsel representing the Company addressed to each Investor and in form, scope
and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering and (ii) a letter, dated
such date, from the Company’s independent certified public
6
accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if
any, and each Investor.
(i) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning
an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to
comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary
to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of
such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body
of competent jurisdiction, (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public
other than by the Company or disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement, or (v) such
Investor consents to the form and content of any such disclosure. The Company agrees that it
shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by
a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice
to such Investor prior to making such disclosure, and allow the Investor, at its expense, to
undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such
information.
(j) The Company shall, prior to the declaration of effectiveness of any registration statement
covering Registrable Securities, cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement to be listed, at its option, on any national securities exchange on which
securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the
listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange.
(k) The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity,
for the Registrable Securities.
(l) The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being
offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable
Securities to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be
in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the managing underwriter or underwriters,
if any, or the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the managing
underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Investors may request, and, within five (5) business
days after the Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities is ordered effective by
the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to
deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose
Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement), an opinion of such counsel in
the form reasonably satisfactory to the transfer agent.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.
In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, each Investor shall have
the following obligations:
7
(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the
registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular
Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding himself or
itself, the Registrable Securities held by him or it and the intended method of disposition of the
Registrable Securities held by him or it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration
of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such
registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least ten (10) days prior to the
anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of
the information the Company requires from each such Investor.
(b) Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to
cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the
preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder. The Company shall not be required
to include in any Registration Statement the Registrable Securities of any Investor who fails to
cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested in connection with the preparation and filing of
the Registration Statement.
(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of
any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such
Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f) and, if so directed by the Company, such Investor
shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company
a certificate of destruction at the Company’s request) all copies in such Investor’s possession, of
the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
(d) No Investor may participate in any underwritten distribution hereunder unless such
Investor (i) agrees to sell such Investor’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements in usual and customary form entered into by the Company, (ii) completes
and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements
and other documents reasonably required under underwritten offerings for selling shareholders,
(iii) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all underwriting discounts and commissions and any
expenses in excess of those payable by the Company pursuant to Section 5 below, and (iv) complies
with all applicable laws in connection therewith.
(e) In the event that in the judgment of the Company, it is advisable to suspend the use of a
prospectus included in the Registration Statement due to pending material developments or other
events which have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public
disclosure would be detrimental to the Company, the Company shall notify each Investor to such
effect, and, upon receipt of such notice, each Investor shall immediately discontinue any sales of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Investor receives copies
of a supplemental or amended prospectus or until such Investor is advised in writing by the Company
that the then current prospectus may be used and have received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such prospectus
(a “Disclosure Delay Period”).
8
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall not be more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days
in any twelve (12) month period during which the Company is in a Disclosure Delay Period.
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses incurred by the Company or the
Investors in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3
above, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers
and accounting fees, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Investors shall
be borne by the Company.
6. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i)
each Investor who holds such Registrable Securities, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners,
members, employees and agents of such Investor and each person who controls any Investor within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), if any, (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any joint or
several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions,
proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof, “Claims”) to which any of them may become subject insofar as such
Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact in a Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or
contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein
any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without
limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or
sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being,
collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the Investors and each other Indemnified
Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal
fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a
Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to
the Company by such Indemnified Person for use in the Registration Statement or any such amendment
thereof or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of
the Registrable Securities by any Investor pursuant to Section 9 hereof.
(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each
such Investor agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify, hold harmless and
9
defend, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each
of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, its employees, agents
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any other shareholder selling securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who
controls such shareholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
(collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim
to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise,
insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and
only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such
Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor will reimburse any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
further, however, that the Investor shall be liable in the aggregate to all Indemnified Parties
under this Agreement (including this Section 6(b) and Section 7) for only that amount as does not
exceed the net proceeds actually received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any
preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue
statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a
timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6
of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to
the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be;
provided, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and an
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the
fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
conflicts of interest between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding or the actual or potential defendants in, or targets
of, any such action include both the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party and the
indemnifying party and any such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party reasonably determines that
there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party which are in
conflict with those available to such indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall pay for
only one separate legal counsel for the
10
Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such legal counsel shall be
selected by Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement to which the Claim relates (with the approval of the initial Investor if it
holds Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement), if the Investors are
entitled to indemnification hereunder, or by the Company, if the Company is entitled to
indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in
its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such
expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
7. CONTRIBUTION. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with
respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent
permitted by law as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the
one hand, and the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as the case may be, on the other hand,
with respect to the Violation giving rise to the applicable Claim; provided, however, that (i) no
contribution shall be made under circumstances where the party would not have been liable for
indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6, (ii) no person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such

EXHIBIT G
FORM OF GUARANTY AGREEMENT
GUARANTY
THIS GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”), dated as of April 24, 2009, is made by ENTERTAINMENT
TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, a Pennsylvania corporation, and each other subsidiary of the Borrower (as
hereinafter defined) that at any time hereafter is formed, created or acquired, or has any assets
or operations if formed prior to the date hereof, and their respective successors and permitted
assigns (collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of X.X. XXXXXXX (the “Lender”).
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, Environmental Tectonics Corporation (the “Borrower”) and the Lender are parties to a
Secured Credit Facility and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement provides that, as a condition precedent to the making of one
or more advances thereunder by the Lender to the Borrower (the “Credit Facility”), the Guarantors
must execute a guaranty in favor of the Lender;
WHEREAS, the Guarantors will derive substantial benefits from the Purchase Agreement and the
Credit Facility; and
WHEREAS, the rights granted to the Lender herein shall be subject to the terms and conditions
of the Subordination Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Lender to provide the
Credit Facility, the Guarantors, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree with the Lender as
follows:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms which are not defined herein have the meaning
given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. As used herein, “Obligations” shall mean the unpaid
principal of (which such term shall include any payments of principal the Lender is compelled to
surrender or disgorge) and interest on (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the
maturity of the Credit Facility and interest accruing after the filing of any petition in
bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to
the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such
proceeding) the Credit Facility, and all other obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the
Lender whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, due or to
become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, out of, or in connection
with, the Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents and any other document
made, delivered or given in connection therewith or herewith, whether on account of principal,
interest, reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses (including, without
limitation, all fees and disbursements of
1
counsel to the Lender that are required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of
the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document) or otherwise.
2. Guaranty. This is a Guaranty of payment and not of collectability. The Guarantors
hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to the Lender, the prompt
and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. The Guarantors further agree to pay any and all
reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel), which may be paid or incurred by the Lender in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel
in respect of, any of its rights under this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and
effect until the Obligations are paid in full and the Credit Facility is terminated,
notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto the Borrower may be free from any Obligations.
The Guarantors agree that whenever, at any time or from time to time, either shall make any
payment to the Lender on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Lender in writing
that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose. No payment or payments made by the
Borrower or any other Person or received or collected by the Lender from the Borrower or any other
Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application, at any
time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to
modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which
liability shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain in full force and effect
until the Obligations are paid in full and the Credit Facility is terminated.
3. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, the Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized at any time and from time to time, without
notice to the Guarantors, any such notice being hereby waived by the Guarantors, to set off and
appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in each case whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Lender to or for the
credit or the account of the Guarantors, in such amounts as the Lender may elect, on account of the
liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Lender
against the Guarantors, whether arising hereunder, under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes, or
otherwise, as the Lender may elect, whether or not the Lender has made any demand for payment and
although such liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Lender shall notify the
Guarantors promptly of any such set-off made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds
thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section 3 are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off), which the Lender may
have.
4. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantors
hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of the Guarantors by the Lender, the Guarantors
shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Lender against the Borrower or
against any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Lender for the payment
of the Obligations, nor shall the Guarantors seek any reimbursement or indemnification from the
Borrower in respect of payments made by the Guarantors
2
hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Lender by the Borrower on account of the Obligations
are paid in full and the Credit Facility is terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the
Guarantors on account of such subrogation or other rights at any time when all of the Obligations
shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Guarantors in trust for the
Lender segregated from other assets of the Guarantors, and shall forthwith upon receipt by the
Guarantors, be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by the Guarantors (duly
indorsed by the Guarantors to the Lender, if required), to be applied against the Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Lender may determine.
5. No Marshalling. Lender has no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of either
Guarantor, or against or in payment of (i) the Notes, or (ii) any other obligation owed to Lender
by Borrower or either Guarantor.
6. Waivers; Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall
remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against each
Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by each Guarantor, any demand for payment of any
of the Obligations made by the Lender may be rescinded by the Lender, and any of the Obligations
continued, and the Obligations, the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or
any collateral security or guaranty therefor or right of offset with respect thereto may from time
to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised,
waived, surrendered or released by the Lender, and the Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the other
Transaction Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be
amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Lender may deem
advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guaranty or right of offset at any time
held by the Lender for the payment of the Obligations may, be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered
or released. The Lender shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any
lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guaranty or any property
subject thereto.
7. Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of
the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of
reliance by the Lender upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty; the Obligations, and any
of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon
this Guaranty; and all dealings between the Borrower or the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Lender, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in
reliance upon this Guaranty, waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of extensions of
credit to the Borrower from time to time, notice of default, diligence, presentment, notice of
dishonor, protest and demand for payment. This Guaranty is and shall be construed as a continuing,
absolute and unconditional Guaranty of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability
of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Transaction Documents, any of the
Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto
at any time or from time to time held by or for the benefit of the Lender, (b) any defense, set-off
or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available
to or be asserted by the Borrower against the Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever
(with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or the Guarantors) which constitutes, or
3
might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the
Obligations, or of the Guarantors under this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. This
Guaranty is intended to be a surety of each Guarantor on behalf of Lender. When the Lender is
pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantors, the Lender may, but shall be
under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower or any
other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Obligations or any right of
offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies
or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon such
collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the
Borrower or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, Guaranty or right of offset,
shall not relieve the Guarantors of any joint and several liability hereunder, and shall not impair
or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the
Lender against the Guarantors.
8. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for the
Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or for any other reason, all as though such
payments had not been made.
9. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Obligations will be paid to the
order of the Lender without set-off or counterclaim in United States dollars in immediately
available funds at the office of the Lender set forth in Section 14 hereof.
10. POWER TO CONFESS JUDGMENT. THIS SECTION 10 SETS FORTH A WARRANT OF AUTHORITY FOR
ANY ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTORS. IN GRANTING THIS WARRANT OF
ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTORS, THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTORS,
FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH SEPARATE COUNSEL FOR THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTORS AND WITH KNOWLEDGE OF
THE LEGAL EFFECT HEREOF, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, VOLUNTARILY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY
AND ALL RIGHTS THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTORS HAVE OR MAY HAVE TO PRIOR NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
HEARING UNDER THE RESPECTIVE CONSTITUTIONS AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, THE STATE OF DELAWARE, OR ELSEWHERE.
EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY ATTORNEY OF RECORD, OR THE
PROTHONOTARY OR CLERK OF ANY COURT IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE, TO APPEAR FOR
SUCH GUARANTOR AT ANY TIME OR TIMES, AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HEREUNDER, IN ANY
SUCH COURT IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST SUCH GUARANTOR BY THE LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THE AGGREGATE
AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER, WITH OR WITHOUT DECLARATION FILED, AS OF ANY TERM,
4

GUARANTOR TO THE LENDER HEREUNDER, AS EVIDENCED BY AN AFFIDAVIT SIGNED BY A DULY AUTHORIZED
DESIGNEE OF THE LENDER SETTING FORTH SUCH AMOUNT THEN DUE FROM SUCH GUARANTOR TO THE LENDER, PLUS
AN ATTORNEY’S COMMISSION EQUAL TO TEN PERCENT (10%) OF THE SUMS THEN OUTSTANDING HEREUNDER, BUT IN
NO EVENT LESS THAN $25,000, WITH COSTS OF SUIT, RELEASE OF PROCEDURAL ERRORS, OTHER THAN NOTICES
THAT MAY BE REQUIRED HEREUNDER, AND WITHOUT RIGHT OF APPEAL. IF A COPY OF THIS GUARANTY SHALL HAVE
BEEN FILED IN SUCH ACTION, IT SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY TO FILE THE ORIGINAL AS A WARRANT OF ATTORNEY.
EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES THE RIGHT TO ANY STAY OF EXECUTION, THE BENEFIT OF ALL EXEMPTION LAWS NOW OR
HEREAFTER IN EFFECT AND ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING WITH RESPECT TO THE
GARNISHMENT OR ATTACHMENT OF ANY PROPERTY PURSUANT TO A JUDGMENT ENTERED HEREUNDER. NO SINGLE
EXERCISE OF THE FOREGOING WARRANT AND POWER TO BRING ANY ACTION OR CONFESS JUDGMENT THEREIN SHALL
BE DEEMED TO EXHAUST THE POWER, BUT THE POWER SHALL CONTINUE UNDIMINISHED AND MAY BE EXERCISED FROM
TIME TO TIME AS OFTEN AS THE LENDER SHALL ELECT UNTIL ALL AMOUNTS PAYABLE TO THE LENDER HEREUNDER,
SHALL HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL. THE EXERCISE BY THE LENDER OF HIS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AND THE ENTRY
OF ANY JUDGMENT BY THE LENDER UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL NOT AFFECT IN ANY WAY THE INTEREST RATE
PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR ANY OTHER AMOUNTS DUE TO THE LENDER, BUT INTEREST SHALL CONTINUE TO ACCRUE ON
SUCH AMOUNTS AT THE DEFAULT RATE (AS DEFINED IN THE NOTES).
11. Severability. Any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
12. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings used in this Guaranty are for
convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into
consideration in the interpretation hereof.
13. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Lender shall not by any act (except by a
written instrument pursuant to Section 14 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be
deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event
of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor
any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or privilege. A waiver by the Lender of any right or remedy
5
hereunder on anyone occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are
cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law.
14. Waivers and Amendments: Successors and Assigns; Governing Law. None of the terms
or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by
a written instrument executed by the Guarantors and the Lender. This Guaranty shall be binding upon

successors and assigns. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA.

joinder hereto, the obligations of such Additional Guarantor and any other Guarantor hereunder

WHEREAS, Mortgagor and Mortgagee desire to amend and restate in its entirety the 2003 Mortgage
in order to secure all of the obligations of Mortgagor to Mortgagee under the Credit Facility
Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for the purpose of securing the payment and performance of the following
obligations (collectively called the “Obligations”):
(A) Any amounts due under the 2003 Note, the 2009 Bridge Note, all notes now or hereafter
executed by Mortgagor to memorialize an advance under the Credit Facility or pursuant to the terms
of the Credit Facility Agreement and all sums paid by Mortgagee under the Personal Guaranty
(including any interest accruing thereon before or after maturity, or after the filing of any
petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding
relating to Mortgagor, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed
in such proceeding), and any amendments, extensions, renewals or increases and all reasonable costs
and expenses of Mortgagee incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement,
collection or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses; and
(B) Any sums advanced by Mortgagee or which may otherwise become due pursuant to the
provisions of the Credit Facility Agreement, the Personal Guaranty, the 2003 Note, the 2009 Bridge
Note or this Mortgage or pursuant to any other document or instrument at any time delivered to
Mortgagee to evidence or secure any of the Obligations or which otherwise relate to any of the
Obligations (as the same may be amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Loan
Documents”).
Mortgagor, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, does hereby give, grant, bargain, sell, convey, assign,
transfer, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, set over and confirm unto Mortgagee and does agree that
Mortgagee shall have a security interest in the following described property, all accessions and
additions thereto, all substitutions therefor and replacements and proceeds thereof, and all
reversions and remainders of such property now owned or held or hereafter acquired (the
“Property”), to wit:
(a) All of Mortgagor’s estate in the premises described in Exhibit A, together with all of the
easements, rights of way, privileges, liberties, hereditaments, gores, streets, alleys, passages,
ways, waters, watercourses, rights and appurtenances thereunto belonging or appertaining, and all
of Mortgagor’s estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand therein and in the public streets
and ways adjacent thereto, either in law or in equity (the “Land”);
(b) All the buildings, structures and improvements of every kind and description now or
hereafter erected or placed on the Land, and all facilities, fixtures, machinery, apparatus,
appliances, installations, machinery and equipment, including all building materials to be
incorporated into such buildings, all electrical equipment necessary for the operation of such
buildings and heating, air conditioning and plumbing equipment now or hereafter attached to,
located in or used in connection with those buildings, structures or other improvements (the
“Improvements”);
2
(c) All rents, issues and profits arising or issuing from the Land and the Improvements (the
“Rents”) including the Rents arising or issuing from all leases and subleases now or hereafter
entered into covering all or any part of the Land and Improvements (the “Leases”), all of which
Leases and Rents are hereby assigned to Mortgagee by Mortgagor. The foregoing assignment shall
include all cash or securities deposited under Leases to secure performance of lessees of their
obligations thereunder, whether such cash or securities are to be held until the expiration of the
terms of such leases or applied to one or more installments of rent coming due prior to the
expiration of such terms. The foregoing assignment extends to Rents arising both before and after
the commencement by or against Mortgagor of any case or proceeding under any Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, and is intended as an absolute assignment and not merely the
granting of a security interest. Mortgagor, however, shall have a license to collect, retain and
use the Rents so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall exist.
Mortgagor will execute and deliver to Mortgagee, on demand, such additional assignments and
instruments as Mortgagee may require to implement, confirm, maintain and continue the assignment of
Rents hereunder;
(d) All proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of any of the foregoing into
cash or liquidated claims;
(e) And without limiting any of the other provisions of this Mortgage, Mortgagor, as debtor,
expressly grants unto Mortgagee, as secured party, a security interest in all those portions of the
Property which may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code provisions applicable to secured
transactions under the laws of the state in which the Property is located (the “UCC”), and
Mortgagor will execute and deliver to Mortgagee on demand such financing statements and other
instruments as Mortgagee may require in order to perfect and maintain such security interest under
the UCC on the aforesaid collateral.
To have and to hold the same unto Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, forever, under and
subject to the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement and related documents (collectively, the
“Senior Credit Documents”). All of the duties and obligations of Mortgagor and the rights and
remedies of Mortgagee hereunder are under and subject in all respects to performance of the duties
and obligations of Mortgagor to Senior Lender and to the rights and remedies of Senior Lender under
the Senior Credit Documents. The failure by Mortgagor to perform or comply with any of the
provisions of this Mortgage shall not be an Event of Default hereunder if such failure arises
solely from Mortgagor’s performance or compliance with comparable obligations under the Senior
Credit Documents and performance or compliance with both the Senior Credit Documents and this
Mortgage is impossible.
Provided, however, that if Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee the Obligations, and if Mortgagor
shall keep and perform each of its other covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein and
in the other Loan Documents, then, upon the termination of all obligations, duties and commitments
of Mortgagor under the Obligations and this Mortgage, and subject to the provisions of the
paragraph entitled “Survival; Successors and Assigns”, the estate hereby granted and conveyed shall
become null and void.
This Mortgage is an “Open-End Mortgage” as set forth in 42 Pa. C.S.A. §8143 and secures
obligations up to a maximum principal amount of Thirty-Seven Million Five Hundred
3
Thousand Dollars ($37,500,000), plus accrued and unpaid interest outstanding at any time under
the Loan Documents, including advances for the payment of taxes and municipal assessments,
maintenance charges, insurance premiums, costs incurred for the protection of the Property or the
lien of this Mortgage, expenses incurred by Mortgagee by reason of default by Mortgagor under this
Mortgage and advances for construction, alteration or renovation on the Property or for any other
purpose, together with all other sums due hereunder or secured hereby. All notices to be given to
Mortgagee pursuant to 42 Pa. C.S.A. §8143 shall be given as set forth in Section 18.
1. Representations and Warranties. Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee
that Mortgagor has good and marketable title to an estate in fee simple absolute in the Land and
Improvements and has all right, title and interest in all other property constituting a part of the
Property, in each case free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except as may otherwise be set
forth on an Exhibit B hereto. This Mortgage is a valid and enforceable lien on the Property
(except as set forth on Exhibit B). Mortgagor shall preserve such title as it warrants herein and
the validity and priority of the lien hereof and shall forever warrant and defend the same to
Mortgagee against the claims of all persons claiming by, through or under Mortgagor.
2. Affirmative Covenants. Until all of the Obligations shall have been fully paid,
satisfied and discharged Mortgagor shall:
(a) Payment and Performance of Obligations. Pay or cause to be paid and perform all
Obligations when due as provided in the Loan Documents.
(b) Legal Requirements. Promptly comply with and conform in all material respects to
all present and future laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders and regulations and all covenants,
restrictions and conditions which may be applicable to Mortgagor or to any of the Property (the
“Legal Requirements”).
(c) Impositions. Before interest or penalties are due thereon and otherwise when due,
Mortgagor shall pay all taxes of every kind and nature, all charges for any easement or agreement
maintained for the benefit of any of the Property, all general and special assessments (including
any condominium or planned unit development assessments, if any), levies, permits, inspection and
license fees, all water and sewer rents and charges, and all other charges and liens, whether of a
like or different nature, imposed upon or assessed against Mortgagor or any of the Property (the
“Impositions”) unless the amount thereof is being contested in good faith by Mortgagor by
appropriate proceedings with adequate reserves made for the payment thereof. Within thirty (30)
days after the payment of any Imposition if requested by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deliver to
Mortgagee evidence acceptable to Mortgagee of such payment. Mortgagor’s obligations to pay the
Impositions shall survive Mortgagee’s taking title to the Property through foreclosure,
deed-in-lieu or otherwise.
(d) Maintenance of Security. Use, and permit others to use, the Property only for its
present use or such other uses as permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and approved in
writing by Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall keep the Property in good condition and order and in a
rentable and tenantable state of repair and will make or cause to be made, as and when necessary,
all repairs, renewals, and replacements, structural and nonstructural, exterior
4
and interior, foreseen and unforeseen, ordinary and extraordinary, provided, however, that no
structural repairs, renewals or replacements in excess of $100,000 shall be made without
Mortgagee’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Mortgagor shall not remove, demolish or alter any material portion of the Property or any of the
Property in a manner that materially adversely affects the same, nor commit or suffer waste with
respect thereto, nor permit the Property to become deserted or abandoned. Mortgagor covenants and
agrees not to take or permit any action with respect to the Property which will in any manner
materially impair the security of this Mortgage.
3. Leases. Except as permitted by the Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall not (a) execute
an assignment or pledge of the Rents or the Leases other than in favor of Mortgagee; (b) accept any
prepayment of an installment of any Rents more than 30 days prior to the due date of such
installment; or (c) enter into or amend any of the terms of any of the Leases without Mortgagee’s
prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any or all leases
or subleases of all or any part of the Property shall be subject in all respects to Mortgagee’s
prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall be
subordinated to this Mortgage and to Mortgagee’s rights and, together with any and all rents,
issues or profits relating thereto, shall be assigned at the time of execution to Mortgagee as
additional collateral security for the Obligations, all in such form, substance and detail as is
satisfactory to Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion.
4. Due on Sale Clause. Mortgagor shall not sell, convey or otherwise transfer any
interest in the Property (whether voluntarily or by operation of law), or agree to do so, without
Mortgagee’s prior written consent, including (a) any sale, conveyance, assignment, or other
transfer of (including installment land sale contracts), or the grant of a security interest in,
all or any part of the legal or equitable title to the Property, except as otherwise permitted
hereunder; or (b) any lease of all or any portion of the Property. Any default under this Section
shall cause an immediate acceleration of the Obligations without any demand by Mortgagee.
5. Insurance. Mortgagor shall keep the Improvements continuously
insured, in an amount not less than the cost to replace the Improvements or an amount not less than
eighty percent (80%) of the full insurable value of the Property, whichever is greater, against
loss or damage by fire, with extended coverage and against other hazards as Mortgagee may from time
to time require. With respect to any property under construction or reconstruction, Mortgagor
shall maintain builder’s risk insurance. Mortgagor shall also maintain comprehensive general
public liability insurance, in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate per location, which includes
contractual liability insurance for Mortgagor’s obligations under the Leases, and worker’s
compensation insurance. All property and builder’s risk insurance shall include protection for
continuation of income for a period of twelve (12) months, in the event of any damage caused by the
perils referred to above. All policies, including policies for any amounts carried in excess of
the required minimum and policies not specifically required by Mortgagee, shall be with an
insurance company or companies satisfactory to Mortgagee, shall be in form satisfactory to
Mortgagee, shall meet all coinsurance requirements of Mortgagee, shall be maintained in full force
and effect, with premiums satisfied as collateral security for payment of the Obligations, shall be
endorsed with a standard mortgagee clause in favor of Mortgagee and shall provide for at least
thirty (30) days notice of cancellation to Mortgagee. Such insurance
5
shall also name Mortgagee as an additional insured under the comprehensive general public
liability policy and Mortgagor shall also deliver to Mortgagee a copy of the replacement cost
coverage endorsement. If the Property is located in an area which has been identified by any
governmental agency, authority or body as a flood hazard area or the like, then Mortgagor shall
maintain a flood insurance policy covering the Improvements in an amount not less than the
appraised value of the Property or the maximum limit of coverage available under the federal
program, whichever amount is less.
6. Rights of Mortgagee to Insurance Proceeds. In the event of loss, Mortgagee shall
have the exclusive right to adjust, collect and compromise all Material Insurance Claims (as
defined below), and Mortgagor shall not adjust, collect or compromise any Material Insurance Claims
under said policies without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Each insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said
policies, including return of unearned premiums, directly to Mortgagee instead of to Mortgagor and
Mortgagee jointly, and Mortgagor appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagor’s attorney-in-fact to endorse any
draft therefor. All Material Insurance Claims proceeds may, at Mortgagee’s sole option, be applied
to all or any part of the Obligations and in any order (notwithstanding that such Obligations may
not then otherwise be due and payable) or to the repair and restoration of any of the Property
under such terms and conditions as Mortgagee may reasonably impose; provided, however, that so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such proceeds shall be applied to the repair
and restoration of the Property. All other insurance claim proceeds must be applied to the repair
and restoration of the Property under terms and conditions satisfactory to Mortgagee. For purposes
of this paragraph 6, the term “Material Insurance Claim” means any insurance claim in excess of
$500,000.
7. Installments for Insurance, Taxes and Other Charges. Upon Mortgagee’s request at
any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor
shall pay to Mortgagee monthly, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual premiums for
the insurance policies referred to hereinabove and the annual Impositions and any other item which
at any time may be or become a lien upon the Property (the “Escrow Charges”). The amounts so paid
shall be used in payment of the Escrow Charges so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and is continuing. No amount so paid to Mortgagee shall be deemed to be trust funds, nor shall any
sums paid bear interest. Mortgagee shall have no obligation to pay any insurance premium or
Imposition if at any time the funds being held by Mortgagee for such premium or Imposition are
insufficient to make such payments. If, at any time, the funds being held by Mortgagee for any
insurance premium or Imposition are exhausted, or if Mortgagee determines, in its reasonable
discretion, that such funds will be insufficient to pay in full any insurance premium or Imposition
when due, Mortgagor shall promptly pay to Mortgagee, upon demand, an amount which Mortgagee shall
estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right, at its election, to apply any amount so held
against the Obligations due and payable in such order as Mortgagee may deem fit, and Mortgagor
hereby grants to Mortgagee a lien upon and security interest in such amounts for such purpose.
8. Condemnation. Mortgagor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution
of any proceedings for the condemnation or taking by eminent domain of any of the Property, shall
notify Mortgagee of the pendency of such proceedings. Mortgagee may
6
participate in any such proceedings and Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee all instruments
requested by it to permit such participation. Any award or compensation for property taken or for
damage to property not taken in excess of $500,000, whether as a result of such proceedings or in
lieu thereof, is hereby assigned to and shall be received and collected directly by Mortgagee, and
any award or compensation shall be applied, at Mortgagee’s option, to any part of the Obligations
and in any order (notwithstanding that any of such Obligations may not then be due and payable) or
to the repair and restoration of any of the Property under such terms and conditions as Mortgagee
may reasonably impose provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, such proceeds shall be applied to the repair and restoration of the Property.
9. Environmental Matters. (a) For purposes of this Section 9, the term “Environmental
Laws” shall mean all federal, state and local laws, regulations and orders, whether now or in the
future enacted or issued, pertaining to the protection of land, water, air, health, safety or the
environment. The term “Regulated Substances” shall mean all substances regulated by Environmental
Laws, or which are known or considered to be harmful to the health or safety of persons, or the
presence of which may require investigation, notification or remediation under the Environmental
Laws. The term “Contamination” shall mean the discharge, release, emission, disposal or escape of
any Regulated Substances into the environment other than as permitted under applicable
Environmental Laws.
(b) Mortgagor represents and warrants except as provided in the Loan Documents or otherwise
disclosed to Lender in writing (i) that no Contamination is present at, on or under the Property
and that no Contamination is being or, to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge, has been emitted onto
any surrounding property other than as permitted under applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) all
operations and activities on the Property have been and are being conducted in accordance with all
Environmental Laws, and Mortgagor has all permits and licenses required under the Environmental
Laws; (iii) no underground or aboveground storage tanks are or have been located on or under the
Property; and (iv) no legal or administrative proceeding is pending or, to the best of Mortgagor’s
knowledge, threatened relating to any environmental condition, operation or activity on the
Property regulated under any applicable Environmental Laws, or any violation or alleged violation
of Environmental Laws. These representations and warranties shall be true as of the date hereof,
and shall be deemed to be continuing representations and warranties which must remain true, correct
and accurate during the entire duration of the term of this Mortgage.
(c) Mortgagor shall ensure, at its sole cost and expense, that the Property and the conduct of
all operations and activities thereon comply and continue to comply with all Environmental Laws.
Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee promptly and in reasonable detail in the event that Mortgagor
becomes aware of any violation of any Environmental Laws, the presence or release of any
Contamination with respect to the Property, or any governmental or third party claims under
applicable Environmental Laws relating to the environmental condition of the Property or the
conduct of operations or activities thereon. Mortgagor also agrees not to permit or allow the
presence of Regulated Substances on any part of the Property, except (i) to the extent such
Regulated Substances are used without violating any Environmental Laws; and (ii) those Regulated
Substances which are naturally occurring on the Property. Mortgagor agrees not to cause, allow or
permit the presence of any Contamination on the Property except
7
to the extent such Contamination is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws.
(d) Mortgagee shall not be liable for, and Mortgagor shall indemnify, defend and hold
Mortgagee and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents, and all of their respective
successors and assigns harmless from and against all losses, costs, liabilities, damages, fines,
claims, penalties and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and contractors’
fees, costs incurred in the investigation, defense and settlement of claims, as well as costs
incurred in connection with the investigation, remediation or monitoring of any Regulated
Substances or Contamination) that Mortgagee may suffer or incur (including as holder of the
Mortgage, as mortgagee in possession or as successor in interest to Mortgagor as owner of the
Property by virtue of a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure) as a result of
or in connection with (i) any Environmental Laws (including the assertion that any lien existing or
arising pursuant to any Environmental Laws takes priority over the lien of the Mortgage); (ii) the
breach in any material respect of any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking by
Mortgagor in this Section 9; (iii) the presence on or the migration of any Contamination or
Regulated Substances on, under or through the Property; or (iv) any litigation or claim by the
government or by any third party in connection with the environmental condition of the Property or
the presence or migration of any Regulated Substances or Contamination on, under, to or from the
Property; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall not be liable under this Section (d) for any
damages caused by Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e) Upon Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall execute and deliver an Environmental Indemnity
Agreement satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee, to more fully reflect Mortgagor’s
representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities with respect to the Environmental Laws.
10. Inspection of Property. Mortgagee shall have the right to enter the Property upon
reasonable prior notice at any reasonable hour for the purpose of inspecting the order, condition
and repair of the buildings and improvements erected thereon, as well as the conduct of operations
and activities on the Property. Mortgagee may enter the Property (and cause Mortgagee’s employees,
agents and consultants to enter the Property), upon reasonable prior written notice to Mortgagor,
to conduct any and all environmental testing deemed appropriate by Mortgagee in his reasonable
discretion. The environmental testing shall be accomplished by whatever means Mortgagee may deem
appropriate, including the taking of soil samples and the installation of ground water monitoring
xxxxx or other intrusive environmental tests. Mortgagor shall provide Mortgagee (and Mortgagee’s
employees, agents and consultants) reasonable rights of access to the Property as well as such
information about the Property and the past or present conduct of operations and activities thereon
as Mortgagee shall reasonably request.
11. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events
shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder: (a) any Event of Default (as defined in the
Credit Facility Agreement); (b) the failure by Mortgagor to perform any of its other obligations
under this Mortgage or under any Environmental Indemnity Agreement executed and delivered pursuant
to Section 9(e) for a period of fifteen (15) days or more after written notice thereof is delivered
to Mortgagor; (c) falsity, inaccuracy or material breach by Mortgagor of any written warranty,
representation or statement made herein by Mortgagor; (d) any lien against or the
8
making of any levy, seizure or attachment of or on the Property not dismissed or adequately
bonded within ninety (90) days; (e) the failure of Mortgagee to have a mortgage lien on the
Property; (f) foreclosure proceedings are instituted against the Property upon any other lien or
claim, whether alleged to be superior or junior to the lien of this Mortgage which is not dismissed
within ninety (90) days; (g) the failure by Mortgagor to pay any Impositions as required under
Section 2(c), or to maintain in full force and effect any insurance required under Section 5; or
(h) Mortgagor or any other obligor or guarantor of any of the Obligations, shall at any time
deliver or cause to be delivered to Mortgagee a notice pursuant to 42 Pa. C.S.A. §8143 electing to
limit the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.
12. Rights and Remedies of Mortgagee. If an Event of Default occurs, Mortgagee may,
at its option and without demand, notice or delay, do one or more of the following:
(a) Mortgagee may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Obligations, together
with all interest thereon, to be due and payable immediately.
(b) Mortgagee may (i) institute and maintain an action of mortgage foreclosure against the
Property and the interests of Mortgagor therein, (ii) institute and maintain an action on any
instruments evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof, and (iii) take such other action at
law or in equity for the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents as the law may allow, and in each
such action Mortgagee shall be entitled to all costs of suit and attorneys fees.
(c) Mortgagee may, in his sole and absolute discretion: (i) collect any or all of the Rents,
including any Rents past due and unpaid, (ii) perform any obligation or exercise any right or
remedy of Mortgagor under any Lease, or (iii) enforce any obligation of any tenant of any of the
Property. Mortgagee may exercise any right under this subsection (c), whether or not Mortgagee
shall have entered into possession of any of the Property, and nothing herein contained shall be
construed as constituting Mortgagee a “mortgagee in possession”, unless Mortgagee shall have
entered into and shall continue to be in actual possession of the Property. Mortgagor hereby
authorizes and directs each and every present and future tenant of any of the Property to pay all
Rents directly to Mortgagee and to perform all other obligations of that tenant for the direct
benefit of Mortgagee, as if Mortgagee were the landlord under the Lease with that tenant,
immediately upon receipt of a demand by Mortgagee to make such payment or perform such obligations.
Mortgagor hereby waives any right, claim or demand it may now or hereafter have against any such
tenant by reason of such payment of Rents or performance of obligations to Mortgagee, and any such
payment or performance to Mortgagee shall discharge the obligations of the tenant to make such
payment or performance to Mortgagor.
(d) Mortgagee shall have the right, in connection with the exercise of its remedies hereunder,
to the appointment of a receiver to take possession and control of the Property or to collect the
Rents, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the Property to secure the Obligations.
A receiver while in possession of the Property shall have the right to make repairs and to make
improvements necessary or advisable in its or his opinion to preserve the Property, or to make and
keep it rentable to the best advantage, and Mortgagee may advance moneys to a receiver for such
purposes. Any moneys so expended or advanced by Mortgagee or by a receiver shall be added to and
become a part of the Obligations secured by
9
this Mortgage.
13. Application of Proceeds. Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of any foreclosure
sale of, or other disposition or realization upon, or Rents or profits from, the Property to
satisfy the Obligations in such order of application as Mortgagee shall determine in its exclusive
discretion.
14. Confession of Judgment in Ejectment. At any time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, without further notice, regardless of whether Mortgagee has
asserted any other right or exercised any other remedy under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan
Documents, he shall be lawful for any attorney of any court of record as attorney for Mortgagor to
confess judgment in ejectment against Mortgagor and all persons claiming under Mortgagor for the
recovery by Mortgagee of possession of all or any part of the Property, for which this Mortgage
shall be sufficient warrant. If for any reason after such action shall have commenced the same
shall be discontinued and the possession of the Property shall remain in or be restored to
Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall have the right upon any subsequent default or defaults to bring one or
more amicable action or actions as hereinbefore set forth to recover possession of all or any part
of the Property.
15. Mortgagee’s Right to Protect Security. Mortgagee is hereby authorized to do any
one or more of the following, irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred: (a) appear
in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or Mortgagee’s
rights or powers hereunder if Mortgagor fails to so defend such action or proceeding to the
satisfaction of Mortgagee; (b) purchase such insurance policies covering the Property as he may
elect if Mortgagor fails to maintain the insurance coverage required hereunder; and (c) take such
action as Mortgagee may determine to pay, perform or comply with any Impositions or Legal
Requirements, to cure any Events of Default and to protect its security in the Property.
16. Appointment of Mortgagee as Attorney-in-Fact. Mortgagee, or any of his officers,
is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor (without requiring any of them to
act as such), such appointment being coupled with an interest, to do any or all of the following:
(a) collect the Rents after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; (b)
settle for, collect and receive any awards payable under Section 8 from the authorities making the
same; and (c) execute, deliver and file such financing statements and other instruments as
Mortgagee may require in order to perfect and maintain his security interest under the Uniform
Commercial Code on any portion of the Property.
17. Certain Waivers. Mortgagor hereby waives and releases all benefit that might
accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Property, or any part of
the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or
providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process or extension of time for payment
or any rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property, and, unless
specifically required herein, all notices of Mortgagor’s default or of Mortgagee’s election to
exercise, or Mortgagee’s actual exercise of any option under this Mortgage or any other Loan
Document.
10
18. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other
communications required or permitted hereunder must be in writing and will be effective upon
receipt by Mortgagor or Mortgagee. Such notices and other communications may be hand-delivered,
sent by facsimile transmission with confirmation of delivery and a copy sent by first-class mail,
or sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, to a party’s address set forth above or
to such other address as Mortgagor or Mortgagee may give to the other in writing for such purpose.
19. Further Acts. Mortgagor will, at the cost of Mortgagor, and without expense to
Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages,
assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall, from time to time,
reasonably require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring or confirming unto
Mortgagee the property and rights hereby mortgaged, or which Mortgagor may be or may hereafter
become bound to convey or assign to Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intent of or facilitating
the performance of the terms of this Mortgage or for filing, registering or recording this
Mortgage. Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest
for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Mortgagee
under the Note, this Mortgage, the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, including, without
limitation, the rights and remedies described in this paragraph.
20. Changes in the Laws Regarding Taxation. If any law is enacted or adopted or
amended after the date of this Mortgage which deducts the Obligations from the value of the
Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on
Mortgagor or Mortgagee’s interest in the Property, Mortgagor will pay such tax, with interest and
penalties thereon, if any. If Mortgagee determines that the payment of such tax or interest and
penalties by Mortgagor would be unlawful or taxable to Mortgagee or unenforceable or provide the
basis for a defense of usury, then Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less
than one hundred twenty (120) days, to declare the entire Obligations immediately due and payable.
21. Documentary Stamps. If at any time the United States of America, any State
thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to
the Note or this Mortgage, or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Mortgagor will pay for
the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.
22. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission on Mortgagee’s part to exercise any
right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a waiver of
any such right or power, nor will Mortgagee’s action or inaction impair any such right or power.
Mortgagee’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or
remedies which Mortgagee may have under other agreements, at law or in equity. Mortgagee may

from the remainder of the Agreement and this Agreement shall continue in all respects to be valid

applicable law.

to waive any of his rights or remedies under this Note unless such waiver be in writing and signed
by Payee, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein; and a
waiver of one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of such right or
remedy on a subsequent event.

enforcing or collecting the amounts due under this Note, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

SECURITY AGREEMENT
This SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 18, 2009,
by ENVIRONMENTAL TECTONICS CORPORATION (“Debtor”), in favor of X.X. XXXXXXX (“Secured Party”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Debtor has executed a Secured Promissory Note, dated the date hereof, pursuant to
which Debtor has borrowed $2,000,000 from Secured Party (the “Note”). The parties intend that
Debtor’s obligation to repay the Note be secured by all of the assets of Debtor. Any capitalized
terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the purchase of the Note by Secured Party and for other good and valuable
consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Debtor hereby agrees
with Secured Party as follows:
1. Grant of Security Interest. To secure Debtor’s full and timely performance of all
of Debtor’s obligations and liabilities to Secured Party pursuant to the Note (including, without
limitation, Debtor’s obligation to timely pay the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the
Note), and any amendments, modifications or reissuance of the Note and all other debt owed by
Debtor to Secured Party, and all other amounts payable hereunder, including all costs and expenses
incurred by Secured Party to enforce Secured Party’s rights hereunder (the “Obligations”), Debtor
hereby grants to Secured Party a continuing security interest (the “Security Interest”) in and to
all of the property described on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Collateral”) and all
proceeds and products thereof. Debtor will not grant any other security interests in the
Collateral without the written consent of Secured Party.
2. Events of Default. For purposes of this Agreement, “Event of Default” means any of
the following:
(a) Debtor’s failure to pay or discharge the Obligations in full in accordance with the terms
of the Note;
(b) default by Debtor in punctual performance of any of the non-monetary obligations,
covenants, terms or provisions contained or referred to in this Agreement, or the Note secured
hereby, each as amended, replaced or modified, if such default shall continue unremedied for a
period of ten (10) days following written notice of default by Secured Party to Debtor;
(c) any use of the proceeds of the Note for any purpose other than working capital necessary
for the performance of the Government Contract;
(d) any warranty, representation or statement contained in this Agreement or the Note proves
to have been false;
(e) loss, theft, substantial damage, destruction, sale (except as authorized in this
Agreement) or encumbrance to or of any portion of the Collateral (except such encumbrances and
liens which arise in the ordinary course of business and both (A) do not materially impair Debtor’s
ownership or use of the Collateral and (B) are junior to and do not adversely affect the security
interest granted hereunder to Secured Party), or the making of any levy, seizure or attachment
thereof or thereon;
(f) a default by Debtor in the performance of any covenant, condition or provision of any loan
documents between Debtor and Secured Party, or any document related thereto, that are currently in
effect or will be entered into, and such default shall not be remedied for a period of thirty (30)
days after the earlier of (i) written notice from Secured Party of such default or (ii) actual
knowledge by Debtor of such default;
(g) a default by Debtor under any agreement with PNC Bank or any successor commercial lender;
(h) (i) Debtor’s dissolution or termination or (ii) the commencement of any proceeding under
any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by Debtor or (iii) the commencement of any proceeding under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws against Debtor or by or against any guarantor, surety or endorser for
Debtor that results in the entry of an order for relief or which remains undismissed, undischarged
or unbonded for a period of sixty (60) days or more or (iv) Debtor shall make a general assignment
for the benefit of its creditors; or (v) Debtor shall fail generally to pay its debts as they
become due, or shall take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;
(i) any statement of the financial condition of Debtor or of any guarantor, surety or endorser
of any liability of Debtor to Secured Party submitted to Secured Party by Debtor or any such
guarantor, surety or endorser proves to be false in any material respect.
Debtor shall provide Secured Party with immediate written notice upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default and of the circumstances relating to such Event of Default.
3. Payment Obligations of Debtor.
(a) Debtor shall pay to Secured Party any sum or sums due or which may become due pursuant to
the Note in accordance with the terms of the Note and the terms of this Agreement and any and all
renewals, rearrangements or extensions of the Note.
(b) Debtor shall account fully and faithfully to Secured Party for proceeds from disposition
of the Collateral in any manner and, following an Event of Default, shall pay or turn over promptly
in cash, negotiable instruments, drafts, assigned accounts or chattel paper all the proceeds from
each sale to be applied to Debtor’s Obligations to Secured Party, subject, if other than cash, to
final payment or collection.
(c) Following an Event of Default hereunder or under the Note, Debtor shall pay to Secured
Party on demand all reasonable expenses and expenditures (including, but not limited to, reasonable
fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred or paid by Secured Party in exercising or protecting
its interests, rights and remedies under this Agreement, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate.
(d) Debtor shall pay immediately, in accordance with the terms of the Note, the entire unpaid
balance of the Obligations of Debtor to Secured Party whether created or incurred pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise, upon an Event of Default.
4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Debtor.
(a) Other Liens. Except for the Security Interest, Debtor is the owner of the
Collateral and its proceeds and will be the owner of the Collateral and its proceeds hereafter
acquired free from unpaid charges, including taxes and free from any adverse lien, security
interest or encumbrance (other than purchase money security interests that will be discharged upon
Debtor’s payment of the purchase price for the applicable property), and Debtor will defend the
Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or any
interest therein. No financing statements covering any Collateral or any proceeds thereof are on
file in any public office and no third party is holding any Collateral to perfect its interest
therein.
(b) Further Documentation. At any time and from time to time, upon the written
request of Secured Party, and at the sole expense of Debtor, Debtor will promptly and duly execute
and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Secured Party
may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this
Agreement and of the rights, remedies and powers herein granted, including, without limitation,
filing any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) in
effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the liens created hereby or taking any other action
necessary to perfect the Security Interest. Debtor also hereby authorizes Secured Party to file
any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of Debtor to the extent
permitted by applicable law. A reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing
statement (or as an exhibit to a financing statement on form UCC-1) for filing in any jurisdiction.
(c) Indemnification. Debtor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Secured
Party against any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal
fees and expenses): (i) with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in paying, any and all
excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any
of the Collateral, (ii) with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in complying with any law,
rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority applicable to any of the Collateral, or
(iii) in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) Maintenance of Records. Debtor will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense
accurate and complete records of the Collateral and its proceeds.
(e) Inspection Rights. Secured Party may enter Debtor’s premises at any reasonable
time without interruption of Debtor’s business and without any breach of the peace to inspect the
Collateral and all the books, correspondence and other records of Debtor relating to the
Collateral, and Secured Party or its representatives may examine such records and make photocopies
or otherwise take extracts from such records. Debtor agrees to render to Secured Party, at
Debtor’s expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard to
the exercise of its rights pursuant to this paragraph.
(f) Compliance with Laws, etc. Debtor will comply in all material respects with all
laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority applicable to any part of the
Collateral or to the operation of Debtor’s business; provided, however, that Debtor may in good
faith contest any non-compliance with such law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner
which does not and could not be reasonably deemed to, adversely affect Secured Party’s rights or
the priority of its liens on the Collateral.
(g) Payment of Obligations. Debtor will pay promptly when due all taxes, assessments,
charges, liens or levies imposed upon the Collateral or with respect to any of its income or
profits derived from the Collateral, as well as all claims of any kind (including, without
limitation, claims for labor, materials and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral,
except that no such charge need be paid if (i) the validity of such charge is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) such proceedings do not involve any material danger of
the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Collateral or any interest in the Collateral and (iii)
such charge is adequately reserved against on Debtor’s books in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
(h) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Debtor will not create, incur or permit to
exist, will defend the Collateral against, and will take such other action as is necessary to
remove, any lien or claim on or to the Collateral, other than the Security Interest, and will
defend the right, title and interest of Secured Party in and to any of the Collateral against the
claims and demands of all other persons.
(i) Limitations on Dispositions of Collateral. Debtor will not sell, transfer, lend,
license, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or any interest therein, or attempt,
offer or contract to do so; provided, however, that Debtor will be allowed to grant licenses to its
products and related documentation in the ordinary course of business and to establish or provide
for escrows of related intellectual property in connection therewith. The Collateral shall remain
in Debtor’s possession or control at all times at Debtor’s risk of loss until (i) sold, licensed or
otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business, provided that Secured Party shall be
granted a security interest in the proceeds and other consideration received for such Collateral,
or (ii) as authorized in writing by Secured Party.
(j) Further Identification of Collateral. Debtor will furnish to Secured Party from
time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such
other reports in connection with the Collateral as Secured Party may reasonably request, all in
reasonable detail.
(k) Chief Executive Office. The location where Debtor maintains its chief executive
office is County Line Industrial Park, 000 Xxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000. Debtor will
promptly notify Secured Party in writing of any change in the location of its chief executive
office. Substantially all of the tangible assets of Debtor will be held at its chief executive
office.
(l) Insurance. Debtor will have and maintain adequate insurance at all times with
respect to all Collateral against risks of fire, theft and such other risks as Secured Party may
reasonably request. Within ten (10) days after the date hereof, Debtor shall amend such insurance
policies, if necessary, to contain a standard mortgagee’s endorsement providing for payment of any
loss to Secured Party and to provide for ten (10) days’ written minimum cancellation notice to
Secured Party. Debtor shall furnish Secured Party evidence of compliance with the foregoing
insurance provisions before February 28, 2009.
(m) Information. All information in any financial, credit or accounting statement
(and any statement by Debtor related thereto) provided to Secured Party prior to, contemporaneously
with or subsequent to the execution of this Agreement is and shall be true, correct, complete,
valid and genuine in all material respects.
(n) Accounts. As to that portion of the Collateral which is accounts, Debtor
represents, warrants and agrees with respect to each such account that:
(i) The account arose from the performance of services (including without limitation the
granting of any licenses or sales of databases and/or information derived therefrom) which have
been fully and satisfactorily performed or from the lease or the absolute sale of goods, if any, by
Debtor in which Debtor had the sole and complete ownership, and the goods have been shipped or
delivered to the account debtor.
(ii) The account is not subject to any prior or subsequent assignment, claim, lien or security
interest other than that of Secured Party.
(iii) The account is not subject to set-off, counterclaim, defense, allowance or adjustment
other than discounts for prompt payment shown on the invoice, or to dispute, objection or complaint
by the account debtor concerning his liability on the account, and the goods, the sale or lease of
which gave rise to the account, have not been returned, rejected, lost or damaged.
(iv) The account arose in the ordinary course of Debtor’s business, and no notice of
bankruptcy, insolvency or financial embarrassment of the account debtor has been received by
Debtor.
5. Secured Party’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Powers. Debtor hereby appoints Secured Party, and any officer or agent of Secured
Party, with full power of substitution, as its attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and
authority in the place of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or in its own name, from time to time in
Secured Party’s discretion so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, for the
purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any instrument which may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, so long as an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party shall have the right, without notice to, or
the consent of, Debtor, to do any of the following on Debtor’s behalf:
(i) to pay or discharge any taxes, assessments, charges, liens or levies levied or placed on
or threatened against the Collateral;
(ii) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of
any and all amounts due or to become due thereunder directly to Secured Party or as Secured Party
directs;
(iii) to ask for or demand, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any payments due
or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;
(iv) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any
court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any right in respect of any Collateral;
(v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Debtor with respect to any
Collateral;
(vi) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in subsection
(v) above and, to give such discharges or releases in connection therewith as Secured Party may
deem appropriate;
(vii) to assign any patent, trademark or copyright included in the Collateral of Debtor (along
with the goodwill of the business to which any such patent, trademark or copyright pertains),
throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as Secured
Party shall in his sole discretion determine;
(viii) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with any of the Collateral, and to take, at Secured Party’s option and Debtor’s
expense, any actions which Secured Party shall deem necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon
the Collateral and Secured Party’s lien on the Collateral and to carry out the intent of this
Agreement, in each case to the same extent as if Secured Party were the absolute owner of the
Collateral for all purposes; and
(ix) to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel such insurance and endorsing any drafts drawn by
insurers of the Collateral. Secured Party may apply any proceeds of such insurance which may be
received by them in payment on account of the obligations secured hereby, whether due or not.
Debtor hereby ratifies whatever actions Secured Party shall lawfully do or cause to be done in
accordance with this Section 5. This power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest
and shall be irrevocable.
(b) No Duty on Secured Party’s Part. The powers conferred on Secured Party by this
Section 5 are solely to protect Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall
not impose
any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for
amounts that he actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Secured
Party nor any of his employees or agents shall, in the absence of willful misconduct or gross
negligence, be responsible to Debtor for any act or failure to act pursuant to this Section 5.
6. Performance by Secured Party of Debtor’s Obligations. If Debtor fails to perform
or comply with any of its agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement and Secured Party
performs or complies, or otherwise causes performance or compliance, with such agreement or
covenant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the reasonable expenses of Secured
Party incurred in connection with such performance or compliance shall be payable by Debtor to
Secured Party on demand with interest thereon at the rate specified in Section 3(c) and shall
constitute Obligations secured by this Agreement.
7. Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party may
exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to him in this Agreement and in any
other instrument or agreement relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured
party under the UCC in effect in the local jurisdiction where the Collateral is located. Without
limiting the foregoing, Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment,
protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice which may not be waived by law) to
or upon Debtor or any other person (all of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are
hereby waived), may in such circumstances collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any or all
of the Collateral, and/or may sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or
otherwise dispose of and deliver any or all of the Collateral (or contract to do any of the
foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s
board or office of Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may
deem advisable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent
permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase all or any part of the
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Debtor, which right or equity is
hereby waived or released. Secured Party shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection,
recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable expenses
incurred therein or in connection with the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any
way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Secured Party under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), to the payment in whole or in part of
the Obligations, in such order as Secured Party may elect, and only after such application and
after the payment by Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law, if any
surplus remains, to Debtor or whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Debtor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Secured Party
arising out of the exercise by Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be
deemed reasonable and proper if given at least five (5) days before such sale or other disposition,
unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline quickly in value or is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, in which case notice need not be given. Debtor shall
remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay the Obligations, including without limitation the fees and disbursements of
any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
8. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The sole duty of
Secured Party with respect to the custody, safekeeping and preservation of the Collateral, under
the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in good faith.
Neither Secured Party nor any of his employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be
under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Debtor or
otherwise.
9. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies contained in this
Agreement with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a
written instrument pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be
deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default under the
Note or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No failure to
exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Secured Party, any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. A waiver by Secured Party of any right or remedy under this
Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Secured
Party would otherwise have on any subsequent occasion. The rights and remedies provided in this
Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended or waived only
with the written consent of Debtor and Secured Party. Any amendment or waiver effected in
accordance with this Section 11(a) shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.
(b) Transfer; Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of Secured Party and
Debtor hereunder may not be transferred or assigned by any party without the prior written consent
of the other parties hereto, except Secured Party may transfer or assign his rights and obligations
under this Agreement to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or limited
liability partnership owned or controlled by Secured Party, or any shareholders, directors,
executive officers, affiliates, partners or limited partners thereof or of Secured Party or a
registered investment company with a common advisor and in such case the assignee shall be entitled
to all of the rights, privileges and remedies granted in this Agreement to Secured Party provided
that the transfer does not violate applicable securities laws; and is in connection with a
concurrent assignment or transfer of the Note held by Secured Party to such assignee or transferee;
and in such event Debtor will assert no claims or defenses, other than a defense that it has
performed its obligations under the Note and this Agreement, it may have against Secured Party
against the assignee, except those granted in this Agreement. Any permitted assignee of Debtor or
Secured Party shall agree in writing prior to the effectiveness of such assignment to be bound by
the provisions hereof. All of the stipulations, promises and
agreements in this Agreement made by
or on behalf of Debtor shall bind the successors and permitted assigns of
Debtor, whether so expressed or not, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted
assigns of Debtor and Secured Party.

Warrant to Purchase
Shares of Common Stock |
ENVIRONMENTAL TECTONICS CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMON STOCK WARRANT
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, X.X. Xxxxxxx, or his registered assigns (each, a
“Holder”), is entitled to purchase from Environmental Tectonics Corporation, a Pennsylvania
corporation (the “Company”), at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as
hereinafter defined), the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.05 per share (the “Common Stock”), set forth in Section 1 hereof, at the
exercise price set forth in Section 2 hereof, subject to adjustment as provided herein. This
Amended and Restated Common Stock Warrant (this “Warrant”) amends and restates in its entirety and
replaces the Common Stock Warrant issued to the Holder by the Company on February 20, 2009. This
Warrant has been issued pursuant to, and subject to the terms of, that certain Secured Promissory
Note, dated as of February 20, 2009, issued by the Company to the Holder (the “Note”). The term
“Warrant Shares”, as used herein, refers to the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. The
term “Warrants” means this Warrant and any warrants issued as a result of the transfer, exchange or
replacement of such warrants. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings given to such terms in the Note.
This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions and conditions:
1. Number of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Holder shall be entitled to
purchase 143,885 shares of Common Stock under this Warrant; provided, however, that if the
Shareholder Approval (as hereinafter defined) is not obtained by the Shareholder Approval Date (as
hereinafter defined), the Holder shall be entitled to purchase 719,424 shares of Common Stock under
this Warrant, unless the Company repays in full all principal, accrued interest and all other
amounts payable under the Note on or before the Shareholder Approval Date.
2. Exercise Price. The exercise price of this Warrant (the “Exercise Price”) shall be
a price per share equal to $1.39; provided, however, that if the Shareholder Approval is not
obtained by the Shareholder Approval Date, the Exercise Price shall be $0.69 per share, unless the
Company repays in full all principal, accrued interest and all other amounts payable under the Note
on or before the Shareholder Approval Date.
3. Period of Exercise. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from time to time
beginning on the date of issuance (the “Issue Date”) and ending at 5:00 p.m., Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania time on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Exercise
Period”).
4. Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares. Subject to the
provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the
surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto
(the “Exercise Agreement”), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the
Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice to the Holder hereof), and upon payment to the Company in cash, by certified or
official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for
the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be
deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof or such Holder’s designee, as the record owner of such
shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered,
the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered and payment shall have been made for
such shares as set forth above. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the
aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the Holder
hereof within fifteen (15) business days after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder hereof
and shall be registered in the name of such Holder or such other name as shall be designated by
such Holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has
expired, the Company shall, at its expense, as soon as practicable after the date of exercise,
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
5. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as
follows:
(a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(b) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times
have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise in full of this Warrant.
(c) Listing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure the listing
of the Warrant Shares upon each securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon
which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise
of this Warrant) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain, so long as any other shares
of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares.
(d) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities, or any other voluntary action, directly or indirectly, by operation of
2
law or otherwise, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to
be observed or performed by it hereunder, 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
reasonably be requested by the Holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of
the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and
purpose of this Warrant.
(e) Successors and Assigns. This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding
to the Company or its assets.
6. Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section 6. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a
fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded off to the nearest cent.
(a) Sale of Securities Below Current Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in
Sections 6(b) and 6(d), if at any time the Company shall issue or, pursuant to the provisions
hereof, be deemed to have issued (other than as set forth in Section 6(a)(vi) hereof) any shares of
Common Stock, Convertible Securities (as hereinafter defined), Rights (as hereinafter defined) or
Related Rights (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, “Securities”) without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of
such Securities, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall
forthwith be reduced to a price determined in accordance with the following formula:
EP2 = EP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) “EP2” shall mean the Exercise Price for the Common Stock in effect immediately
after such issuance of Securities;
(b) “EP1” shall mean the Exercise Price of the Common Stock in effect immediately
prior to such issuance of Securities;
(c) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior
to such issuance of Securities (excluding shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion or exercise
of preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, options, warrants and other options to purchase
or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities);
(d) “B” shall mean the number of additional shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
if such Securities had been issued at a price per share equal to EP1 (determined by
dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issue by
EP1); and
(e) “C” shall mean the number of such Securities issued in such transaction.
3
For the purpose of this Section 6(a), the following definitions, procedures and exceptions shall be
applicable:
(i) Rights. In the case of the issuance of options, warrants or other rights
to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock, whether or not at the time
exercisable (collectively, “Rights”), the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of such Rights shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Rights are
issued, for a consideration equal to the sum of the consideration, if any, received by the
Company upon the issuance of such Rights and the minimum purchase or exercise price payable
upon the exercise of such Rights for the Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise
thereof; and the consideration per share shall be determined by dividing (i) the aggregate
consideration so received by and payable to the Company, by (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Rights.
(ii) Convertible Securities and Related Rights. In the case of the issuance of
any class or series of stock or any bonds, debentures, notes or other securities or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether or not then
convertible or exchangeable (collectively, “Convertible Securities”), or options, warrants
or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Convertible Securities (collectively,
“Related Rights”), the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Securities or exercise of such Related Rights shall be
deemed to have been issued at the time such Convertible Securities or Related Rights are
issued, for a consideration equal to the sum of (A) the consideration, if any, received by
the Company upon issuance of such Convertible Securities or Related Rights (excluding any
cash received on account of accrued interest or dividends) and (B)(1) in the case of
Convertible Securities, the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the
Company upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or (2) in the case of
Related Rights, the sum of (x) the minimum purchase or exercise price payable upon the
exercise of such Related Rights for Convertible Securities and (y) the minimum additional
consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange of the
Convertible Securities issued upon the exercise of such Related Rights; and the
consideration per share shall be determined by dividing (i) the aggregate consideration so
received by and payable to the Company, by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or exercise of such
Related Rights.
(iii) Changes. On any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of Rights or Related Rights or upon the conversion or exchange of
Convertible Securities or on any change in the minimum purchase or exercise price of Rights,
Related Rights or Convertible Securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting
from the anti-dilution provisions of such Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities,
the Exercise Price to the extent in any way affected by such Rights, Related Rights or
Convertible Securities shall forthwith be readjusted to be thereafter the Exercise Price
that would have been obtained had the adjustment which was made upon the issuance of such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities been made after giving effect to such
change. No further adjustment shall be made in respect of such change upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock or any payment of
4
consideration upon the exercise of such Rights or Related Rights or the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iv) Expiration or Cancellation. On the expiration or cancellation of any such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities, if the Exercise Price shall have been
adjusted upon the issuance thereof, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such
Exercise Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such
Rights, Related Rights or Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of
only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such Rights
or Related Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(v) Cash. In the case of the issuance of such Securities for cash, the amount
of consideration received by the Company shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid
therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses paid or
incurred by the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance
and sale thereof. In the case of the issuance of such Securities for consideration other
than cash, the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be determined in good
faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
(vi) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment to the Exercise
Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities
issued and outstanding on the Issue Date in accordance with the terms of such securities as
of such date; (ii) upon exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be exercised
under any employee benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the
future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the
non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members
of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon exercise
of the Warrant; (iv) upon the issuance of securities in connection with any strategic
transaction that is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, including the Holder
if then a director; or (v) upon the issuance of securities in connection with any financing
transaction with the Holder or any of his affiliates.
(b) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides
(by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then,
after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by
reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of
Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record
for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
will be proportionately increased.
(c) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to
5
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
(d) Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of the Company with,
or merger of the Company into any other company, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or
conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant will have the right
to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock
immediately theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock,
securities or assets as the Holder of the Warrant would have received had the Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance. In any such case,
the Company will make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Section 6 hereof
will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any
consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor
or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or
acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock of the
Company are entitled to receive as a result of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance
assumes by written instrument the obligations of the Company under this Warrant (including under
this Section 6) and the obligations to deliver to the Holder of this Warrant such shares of stock,
securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to
acquire. This Section 6(d) shall apply to any successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
conveyances.
(e) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make any
distribution of its assets (including cash) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating
dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise, then, after the date of record for determining
stockholders entitled to such distribution, but prior to the date of distribution, the Holder of
this Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the
shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been
payable to the Holder had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution.
(f) Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which requires any
adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the Company shall give notice
thereof to the Holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such
price upon exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts
upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the chief financial
officer of the Company.
(g) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall
be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such adjustment is
otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be
made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which,
6
together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such
Exercise Price.
(h) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any
fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the
Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of such exercise.
(i) Other Notices. In case at any time:
(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in shares of
stock of any class or make any other distribution (including dividends or distributions
payable in cash out of retained earnings) to the holders of the Common Stock;
(ii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification of
the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or sale of all,
substantially all or a material portion of its assets to, another Company or entity; or
(iii) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Company;
then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the Holder of this Warrant (a) notice of the
date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining the
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dividend or distribution or for determining
the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in
the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation
thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date on
which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or
subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least ten (10)
business days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company’s books are closed in
respect thereto. Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above; provided that if
notice is not given in accordance with this Section 6(i), the Company will use its best efforts to
insure that the Holder of this Warrant shall nevertheless receive the same rights and benefits
received by other holders of securities of the Company from the proceedings referred to in clauses
(i), (ii) and (iii) above, unless the Holder of this Warrant chooses not to receive such rights and
benefits.
(j) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment
provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, the Company will
give notice of such event as provided in Section 6(i) hereof, and the Company’s Board of Directors
will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of
7
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant so that the rights of the
Holder shall be neither enhanced nor diminished by such event.
(k) Certain Definitions.
(i) “Shareholder Approval” means such time as the Company obtains the affirmative vote
of the shareholders of the Company for a new financing transaction with the Holder and the
restoration in full of the Holder’s voting rights on his preferred stock and common stock in
the Company.
(ii) “Shareholder Approval Date” means July 2, 2009; provided, however, that if the SEC
provides any comments to the proxy statement that the Company is filing in connection with
the Shareholder Approval, the Shareholder Approval Date shall mean forty-five (45) days
after the SEC comments are received but in no event shall such date be later than August 13,
2009.
7. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of this Warrant or such shares for any
issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof.
8. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the
Holder hereof to any voting rights, rights to dividends, or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder hereof
to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the
Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a
shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
9. Transfer, Exchange and Replacement of Warrant.
(a) Restriction on Transfer. This Warrant and the rights granted to the Holder hereof
are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with a properly
executed assignment in the form attached hereto, at the office or agency of the Company referred to
in Section 9(e) below; provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the

Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, and the rights granted hereunder may not be transferred
to a competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

upon the surrender hereof by the Holder hereof at the office or agency of the Company referred to
in Section 9(e) below, for new Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new
Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the
Holder hereof at the time of such surrender.

or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction,
8
upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the
Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like
tenor.

or transferees) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of
Warrants pursuant to this Section 9.
(e) Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holder hereof), a
register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in
whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and
each prior owner of this Warrant.
(f) Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of the surrender of
this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange of this Warrant, this Warrant
(or, in the case of any exercise, the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder), shall not be registered
under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, that the Holder or
transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel
to the effect that such exercise, transfer, or exchange may be made without registration under the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws; provided however, that no
legal opinion shall be required in connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act unless in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such transfer does not comply with
the provisions of Rule 144. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial Holder of this Warrant, by
taking and holding the same, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring this Warrant
for investment and not with a present view to the distribution thereof.
