entitled to purchase 30,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant
Shares") at any time prior to January 27, 2008. The Warrant

subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such holder, to the
Company at its office at 851 Duportail Road, Suite 220, Wayne, PA

bank check or by wire transfer of an amount equal to the Purchase
Price multiplied by the number of shares being purchased pursuant
to such exercise of the Warrant
1.2.
Net Issue
Exercise. In lieu
of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1, the holder
may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or
the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at
the principal office of the Company together with notice of such
election, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock computed using the
following formula:
| X = |
|
the number of shares of Common Stock
to be issued to the holder; |
Y = |
|
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant
(at the date of such calculation); |
A = |
|
the fair market value (as defined below) of one share of the
Company's Common Stock (at the date of such calculation);
and |
B = |
|
Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation). |

DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON
EXERCISE. As soon as practicable after the
exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Purchase Price, and in
any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company, at its
expense, will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to
the holder hereof a certificate or certificates for the number of
fully paid and non-assessable shares or other securities or
property to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise,
plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would
otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined in accordance
with subsection 3.5 hereof. The Company agrees that the shares
so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as
the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the
date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment
made for such shares as aforesaid.
3.
ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS AND OTHER
ADJUSTMENTS. In order to prevent dilution of
the right granted hereunder, the Purchase Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time to in accordance with this
paragraph 3. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price
pursuant to this Section 3, the registered holder of this
Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to acquire upon exercise, at
the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock obtainable by multiplying the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock acquirable
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product
thereof by the Purchase Price resulting from such
adjustment.

3.1.
Subdivisions and
Combinations. In
case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Purchase Price
in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately
prior to such combination shall be proportionately
increased.
3.2.
Reorganization,
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of
Assets.
-
(a) If
any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock
of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with
another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its
assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
securities, cash or other property
-
-
with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock,
then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall
be made whereby the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to
acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant such shares of
stock, securities, cash or other property issuable or payable (as
part of the reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger
or sale) with respect to or in exchange for such number of
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock as would have been
received upon exercise of this Warrant at the Purchase Price then
in effect. The Company will not effect any such consolidation,
merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof the
successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from
such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such
assets shall assume by written instrument mailed or delivered to
the holder of this Warrant at the last address of such holder
appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to
such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be
entitled to purchase.

shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3 of the Second
Amended and Restated Stockholders' Agreement, dated
November 14, 2000 (the "Stockholders' Agreement").

Notices of Record Date,
Etc. In the event
that:
-
(1) the
Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common Stock,
or
(2) the
Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in
stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the
holders of its Common Stock, or

Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its
Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other
rights, or
(4) there
shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the
capital stock of the Company, including any subdivision or
combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or
consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or
substantially all of its assets to, another corporation,
or
(5) there
shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company;
then, in connection with such event, the Company
shall give to the holder of this Warrant:
(i) at
least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on

reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up; and
(ii) in
the case of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the
date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with
the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of
any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on
which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and

Warrant at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the
Company.
3.4.
Adjustment by Board of
Directors. If any
event occurs as to which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors
of the Company, the provisions of this Section 3 are not
strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly
protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant in
accordance
-
with the essential intent and principles of such
provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make an adjustment in
the application of such provisions, in accordance with such
essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights as
aforesaid, but in no event shall any adjustment have the effect of
increasing the Purchase Price as otherwise determined pursuant to
any of the provisions of this Section 3 except in the case of
a combination of shares of a type contemplated in subsection 3.1
and then in no event to an amount larger than the Purchase Price as
adjusted pursuant to subsection 3.1.
3.5.
Fractional
Shares. The
Company shall not issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant or scrip in lieu thereof. If any fraction
of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this
subsection 3.5, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the
Company shall in lieu thereof pay to the person entitled thereto an
amount in cash equal to the current value of such fraction,
calculated to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100) of a share, to be
computed (i) if the Common Stock is listed on any national
securities exchange on the basis of the last sales price of the
Common Stock on such exchange (or the quoted closing bid price if
there shall have been no sales) on the date of conversion, or
(ii) if the Common Stock shall not be listed, on the basis of
the mean between the closing bid and asked prices for the Common
Stock on the date of conversion as reported by Nasdaq, or its
successor, and if there are not such closing bid and asked prices,
on the basis of the fair market value per share as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
3.6.
Officers' Statement as to
Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted as provided in Section 3 hereof, the Company shall
forthwith file at each office designated for the exercise of this
Warrant, a statement, signed by the Chairman of the Board, the
President, any Vice President or Treasurer of the Company, showing
in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the
Purchase Price that will be effective after such adjustment. The
Company shall also cause a notice setting forth any such
adjustments to be sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid, to
the record holder of this Warrant at its address appearing on the
stock register. If such notice relates to an adjustment resulting
from an event referred to in subsection 3.3, such notice shall
be included as part of the notice required to be mailed and
published under the provisions of subsection 3.3
hereof.
4.
NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company
will not, by amendment of its charter or through reorganization,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect the rights of the holder hereof against
dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Company will not increase the par value of any
shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above
the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, and at all times
will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
non-assessable stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF
WARRANT. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
stock, for the issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this
Warrant, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock
as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant. All of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant, when issued and delivered in accordance with the
terms hereof, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable.
6.
REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. Upon receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss,
theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with
surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory
to it, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation thereof, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a
new Warrant of like tenor.
7.
REMEDIES. The Company stipulates that
the remedies at law of the holder of this Warrant in the event of
any default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with
any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate,
and that the same may be specifically enforced.
8.
NEGOTIABILITY. This Warrant is issued
upon the following terms, to all of which each taker or owner
hereof consents and agrees:
-
(a) Subject
to Section 9.2 hereof and the legend appearing on the first
page hereof, title to this Warrant may be transferred by
endorsement (by the holder hereof executing the form of assignment
at the end hereof including guaranty of signature) and delivery in
the same manner as in the case of a negotiable instrument
transferable by endorsement and delivery. Absent an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), and the applicable state securities laws covering the
disposition of this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issued
or issuable upon exercise hereof, the holder will not sell or
transfer any or all of such Warrant or shares, as the case may be,
without counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company first
providing the Company with an opinion to the effect that such sale
or transfer will be exempt from the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Act and the applicable state
securities laws. Each certificate representing shares of Common
Stock issued pursuant to this Warrant shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form on the face thereof;
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or
substitution for any certificate bearing such legend shall also
bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
the securities represented thereby may be transferred as
contemplated by such holder without violation of the registration
requirements of the Act or of the applicable state securities
laws.
