Section 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

         (a) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part on any business
day (the "Exercise Date") and on or before the Expiration Date by presentation
and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office at the following
address: 1000 River Rd., Suite 400, 4th Floor, Conshohocken, Pa 19428, or at the
office of its stock transfer or warrant agent, if any, (or at such other address
as the Company may hereafter notify the Holder in writing) with the Purchase
Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by proper payment of the
Exercise Price in lawful money of the United States of America in the form of a
check, subject to collection, for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the
Purchase Form. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company
shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the
Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this
Warrant and such Purchase Form, together with proper payment of the Exercise
Price, at such office, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of
the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company
shall then be closed or that the certificates representing such Warrant Shares
shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. The Company shall pay any
and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect
of the issue or delivery of the Warrant Shares.

         (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), the Holder may, at
its sole option, elect to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part by receiving
Warrant Shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant, or any
part hereof, upon surrender of the Warrant at the principal office of the
Company together with a duly executed Notice of Net Election in the form annexed
hereto, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Warrant
Shares calculated on the basis of the following formula:

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

         Where:   X =   the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder

                  Y =   the number of Warrant Shares to be exercised under this
                        Warrant

                  A =   the current fair market value of one share of
                        Preferred Stock, which shall be deemed to equal the
                        current fair market value of one share of the Common
                        Stock calculated (determined in the manner set forth
                        in this Section) as of the last business day
                        immediately preceding the exercise of this Warrant;
                        provided, however, that if each share of Preferred
                        Stock is then convertible into more than or less than
                        one share of the Common Stock, then the current fair
                        market value of each share of Preferred Stock shall
                        be deemed to equal the current fair market value of
                        one share of the Common Stock multiplied by the
                        number of shares of the Common Stock into which each
                        share of Preferred Stock is then convertible.

                  B =   the Exercise Price

                                       2
<PAGE>

         The current fair market value of a share of Common Stock for purposes
of this Section shall be determined as follows:

               (i) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities
         exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or
         listed for trading on The NASDAQ National Market, the current market
         value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such
         exchange or Market on the last business day prior to the date of
         exercise or conversion of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on
         such day, the average closing bid and asked prices for such day on such
         exchange or Market; or

               (ii) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted
         trading privileges, the current market value shall be the mean of the
         last reported bid and asked prices reported by Pink Sheets LLC, on the
         last business day prior to the date of exercise or conversion; or

               (iii) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to
         unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so
         reported, the current market value per share shall be an amount
         determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed in good faith
         by the Board of Directors of the Company.

         Section 2. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall reserve at all
times for issuance and delivery upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant all
shares of its Preferred Stock or other shares of Capital Stock of the Company
from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares shall
be duly authorized and, when issued upon the exercise or conversion of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, including payment of the applicable
Exercise Price in full, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances
or restrictions ("Liens") on sale (other than (i) restrictions pursuant to
applicable federal and state securities laws, and (ii) any Liens created by any
action or inaction of the Holder of the Warrant Shares) and free and clear of
all preemptive rights.

         Section 3. FRACTIONAL INTEREST. The Company will not issue a fractional
share of Preferred Stock or scrip upon any exercise or conversion of this
Warrant. Instead, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to
such fraction multiplied by the current fair market value of such fractional
share as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

         Section 4. EXCHANGE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT.

               (a) Except as otherwise provided in SECTION 8, the Holder of this
Warrant shall be entitled, at its option, without expense and without obtaining
the consent of the Company, to assign its interest in this Warrant, or any of
the Warrant Shares, in whole or in part, upon presentation and surrender hereof
to the Company or its stock transfer agent, if any; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
transferee, prior to any such transfer, agrees in writing, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms of this Warrant and
provides the Company with an opinion of counsel in such form reasonably
acceptable to the Company, that such transfer would not be in violation of the
Act or any applicable state securities or blue sky laws.

               (b) Subject to the provisions of SECTION 8, upon surrender of
this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent or
warrant agent, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees
named in such

                                       3
<PAGE>

instrument of assignment and, if the Holder's entire interest is not being
assigned, in the name of the Holder, and this Warrant shall promptly be
canceled.

               (c) This Warrant may be divided by or combined with other
Warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the principal
office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer or warrant agent,
if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in
which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term
"Warrant" as used herein includes any warrants into which this Warrant may be
divided or exchanged.

               (d) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender thereof by
the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for new Warrants of like
tenor registered in the Holder's name and representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase the number of shares purchasable under the Warrant being
exchanged, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to subscribe for and
purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the Holder at the time
of such surrender.

         Section 5. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue
hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law
or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those set forth in this
Warrant.

         Section 6. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
(including any Increase Amount) and the Exercise Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

               (a) DEBT GUARANTEE. If the Debt Guarantee shall remain
outstanding on January 2, 2003, the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable
upon exercises or conversion of this Warrant shall be increased by the Increase
Amount. In addition, for each consecutive six-month period following January 2,
2003, that the Debt Guarantee shall remain outstanding, the number of shares of
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall be
increased by the Increase Amount, provided that the aggregate number of shares
of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall
total no more than 40,000 Preferred Shares, unless otherwise adjusted as
provided in this Section 6.

               (b) RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER. In case of any
reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise or
conversion of this Warrant (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) or in case of any consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another
corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not
result in any reclassification or change, 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 of outstanding securities issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant), the Company, or such successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, shall, without payment of any additional
consideration therefor, execute a new warrant providing that the Holder of the
Warrant shall have the right to exercise such new warrant (upon terms not less
favorable to the Holder than those then applicable to this Warrant) and to
receive upon such exercise, in lieu of each share of Preferred Stock theretofore
issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the kind and amount of
shares of stock, other securities, money or property receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by the Holder of one share of
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant had the
Warrants been exercised or converted immediately prior to such reclassification,
change, consolidation, or merger. Such new warrant shall provide for adjustments
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this SECTION 6. The provisions of this SUBSECTION 6(b) shall

                                       4
<PAGE>

similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, or
mergers.

               (c) SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any
time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired , shall subdivide or
combine its Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately
reduced, in case of subdivision of shares, as of the effective date of such
subdivision, or, if the Company shall take a record of holders of its Preferred
Stock for the purpose of so subdividing, as of such record date, whichever is
earlier, or shall be proportionately increased, in the case of combination of
shares, as of the effective date of such combination, or, if the Company shall
take a record of holders of its Preferred Stock for the purpose of so combining,
as of such record date, whichever is earlier.

               (d) CERTAIN DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall:

                   (i) STOCK DIVIDENDS. Pay a dividend in shares of, or make
         another distribution of shares of, its Preferred Stock, then the
         Exercise Price shall be adjusted, as of the date the Company shall take
         a record of the holders of its Preferred Stock for the purpose of
         receiving such dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is
         taken, as at the date of such payment or other distribution), to that
         price determined by multiplying that Exercise Price in effect
         immediately prior to such payment or other distribution by a fraction
         (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
         Preferred Stock (with respect to any convertible securities, on an
         as-converted basis) outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or
         distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total
         number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after such
         dividend or distribution; or

                   (ii) LIQUIDATING DIVIDENDS, ETC. Make a distribution of its
         assets to the holders of its Preferred Stock as a dividend in
         liquidation or by way of return of capital or other than as a dividend
         payable out of earnings or surplus legally available for dividends
         under applicable law, the Holder shall, upon its exercise, be entitled
         to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Preferred Stock
         receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional
         consideration therefor, a sum equal to the amount of such assets as
         would have been payable to it as owner of that number of shares of
         Preferred Stock receivable by exercise or conversion of the Warrant had
         it been the Holder of record of such Preferred Stock on the record date
         for such distribution, or if no such record is taken, as of the date of
         such distribution, and an appropriate provision therefor shall be made
         a part of any such distribution.

         (e) ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment in the
Exercise Price pursuant to any provisions of this SECTION 6, the number of
shares of Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the
nearest one hundredth of a whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying
such number of shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior
to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price
immediately thereafter.

         (f) OTHER ACTION AFFECTING CAPITAL STOCK. In case after the date hereof
the Company shall take any action affecting the Capital Stock, other than an
action described in any of the foregoing SUBSECTIONS (6)(b) to (6)(d) hereof,
inclusive, which in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors would have a
materially adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder to purchase the Warrant
Shares, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as
the Board of Directors may in good faith determine to be equitable in the
circumstances.

         (g)      NOTICE OF CERTAIN ACTIONS. In the event that:

                  (i) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of
         its Common Stock or Preferred Stock of rights, warrants, options or
         convertible securities to subscribe for or purchase shares of its
         Common Stock, Preferred Stock or of any other subscription rights,
         warrants, options or convertible securities; or

                  (ii) the Company shall authorize the distribution to all
         holders of its Common Stock or Preferred Stock of evidences of its

         of the Company's Capital Stock for which the Exercise Price shall have
         been adjusted pursuant to SUBSECTION (6)(d) or cash dividends or cash
         distributions payable out of consolidated current or retained earnings
         as shown on the books of the Company and paid in the ordinary course of
         business); or

                  (iii) the Company shall authorize any capital reorganization
         or reclassification of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock (other than
         a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock or
         Preferred Stock and other than a change in par value of the Common
         Stock or Preferred Stock) or of any consolidation or merger to which
         the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of
         the Company is required (other than a consolidation or merger in which
         the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in
         any reclassification or change of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock
         outstanding), or of the conveyance or transfer of the properties and
         assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety;
         or

                  (iv) the Company is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary
         dissolution, liquidation or winding-up procedure; or

                  (v) the Company proposes to take any action (other than
         actions of the character described in SUBSECTIONS (6)(b), (6)(c), or
         (6)(d) that would require an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant
         to this SECTION 6; then the Company shall cause to be mailed by
         first-class mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the
         applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
         stating (x) the date as of which the holders of Common Stock or
         Preferred Stock of record to be entitled to receive any such rights,
         warrants or distributions are to be determined, or (y) the date on
         which any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer,
         dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective,
         and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock or
         Preferred Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of
         Common Stock for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon
         such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
         conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

         Section 7. OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted as required by the provisions of SECTION 6, the Company shall forthwith
file in the custody of its secretary or an assistant secretary at its principal
office an officers' certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined
as herein provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such
adjustment and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officers'
certificate shall be signed by the chairman, president or chief financial
officer of the Company and by the secretary or any assistant secretary of the
Company. A copy of each such officers' certificate shall be promptly mailed, by
certified mail, to the Holder and the original shall be made available at all
reasonable times for inspection by any other holder of a Warrant executed and
delivered pursuant to SECTION 4 hereof.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS; CO-SALE AGREEMENT. No sale, transfer, assignment,
hypothecation or other disposition of this Warrant or of the Warrant Shares

a violation of the Act, or any state securities laws. Upon exercise of this
Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a
form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the shares of Preferred Stock

instrument in writing signed by the Company and by the holder hereof.

         SECTION 11. NOTICES. Any notice, request or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder or the Company shall be

parties shall be governed by, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

         SECTION 13. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not knowingly avoid or seek
