2. Procedure for Exercise.
2.1 Delivery of Stock Certificates, Etc., on Exercise. The
Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such
shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have
been surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith. As
soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and
in any event within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its
expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause
to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as such Holder (upon
payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in
compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for
the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on
such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would
otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair
Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder
is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
2.2 Exercise. Payment may be made either (i) in cash or by
certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to
the applicable aggregate Exercise Price, (ii) by delivery of the Warrant, or
shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the
Warrant in accordance with the formula below, or (iii) by a combination of any
of the foregoing methods, for the number of Common Shares specified in such
Exercise Notice (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any
adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder
per the terms of this Warrant) and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to
receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as
provided herein. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the
Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise
Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising
this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value
(as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised)
by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together
with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the Company shall
issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:
X = Y x (A-B)
-----
A
Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the
date of such calculation)
A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's Common
Stock (at the date of such calculation)
B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

3. Effect of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.
3.1 Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case at any
time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b)
consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan
or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such
case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and
adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this
Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such
Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to
further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
3.2 Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the
Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or
assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its
Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1.
3.3 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization,
consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer)
referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and
effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall
be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in
the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of
the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the
event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the
consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3, then the Company's
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the
Holders of the Warrant will be delivered to Holder.
4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock; Issuance of
Certain Securities.
4.1 Extraordinary Events. In the event that the Company shall
(i) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other
distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares
of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event,
the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be
adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so
obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise
Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening
of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number
of shares of Common Stock that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on
the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be
increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common
Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be
issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (A) the numerator is the
Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4)
be in effect, and (B) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the
date of such exercise.
4
4.2 Share Issuances. In the event that the Company shall issue
any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock to a
person other than the Holder (except (i) pursuant to Section 4.1 above; (ii)
pursuant to options, warrants, or other obligations to issue shares outstanding
on the date hereof as disclosed to Holder in writing; or (iii) pursuant to
options that may be issued under any employee incentive stock option and/or any
qualified stock option plan adopted by the Company) for a consideration per
share (the "Offer Price") less than the Exercise Price in effect at the time of
such issuance, then the Exercise Price shall be immediately reset to such lower
Offer Price at the time of issuance of such securities.
5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment
or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on
the exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its
Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this
Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as
adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any
Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).
6. Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant.
The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance
and delivery on the exercise of the Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.
7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with
applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may
be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor") in whole or in
part. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor's
endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Transferor
Endorsement Form") together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws and with payment by the
Transferor of any applicable transfer tax, the Company shall promptly cause its
counsel to deliver a legal opinion to the effect that such transfer is exempt
from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, and will issue
and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like
tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such
Transferor Endorsement Form (each a "Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on
the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on
the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.
5
8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this
Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
9. Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant has been
granted certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights
are set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company
and Purchaser dated as of even date of this Warrant.
10. Maximum Exercise. The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise
this Warrant on an exercise date, in connection with that number of shares of
Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an exercise
date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being
made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the
Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company on such date. For the purposes of the proviso to the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
restriction described in this paragraph may be revoked upon 75 days prior notice
from the Holder to the Company.

Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock

exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant
pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such
issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such
office by such agent.
12. Transfer on the Company's Books. Until this Warrant is
transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered
holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary.
13. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the
Company to the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered

accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought concerning the transactions
contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the state courts of
Pennsylvania or in the federal courts located in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania; provided, however, that the Holder may choose to waive this
provision and bring an action outside the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The
individuals executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to
the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees

shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such
provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not
