  a.   Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of Article XIV of the Indenture and subject to paragraph 19(b) below, the Holder of each Note is entitled, at his option, at any time after the close of business on May 15, 2009, to convert such Note (or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) (the “Conversion Amount”), at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion, into fully paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Shares”) at a conversion price per share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”) equal to $3.00 per each share of Common Stock (or at the current adjusted conversion price if an adjustment has been made as provided in the Indenture); provided that, if the Company issues Common Shares in one or more offerings to investors (other than any offerings following the closing of a Qualified Offering (as defined below)) on or prior to December 31, 2009 (any such issuance, an “Offering”), the Conversion Price shall equal the lesser of (i) $3.00, (ii) 115% of the lowest price per Common Share (after deducting the value, as determined by the Company, of any warrants or other securities issued in such Offering) for which the Company sells Common Shares in any Offering or (iii) 115% of the VWAP (as defined below) for the period from and including October 15, 2009 through and including December 15, 2009, provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Conversion Price shall not be less than $2.00. “VWAP” means the volume weighted average price (the aggregate sales price of all trades of Common Shares during each Trading Day divided by the total number of shares of Common Shares traded during such Trading Day) of the Common Shares during any Trading Day as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. using the AQR function. “Trading Day” means any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Principal Market is open for trading in equity securities. “Principal Market” means the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Shares.
 
  b.   So long as the Common Shares are listed for trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) or an exchange or quotation system with a rule substantially similar to Rule 4350(i) then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein if, at any time (the “Triggering Event”), the aggregate number of Common Shares then issued upon conversion of the Notes (including any shares of capital stock or rights to acquire shares of capital stock issued by the Company which are aggregated or integrated with the Common Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Notes for purposes of such rule) equals 19.99% of the Outstanding Common Amount (as hereinafter defined), the Notes (1) shall, from that time forward, cease to be convertible into Common Shares in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 19(a) above, unless the Company (A) has obtained approval (“Shareholder Approval”) of the issuance of the Common Shares

4


 

      upon conversion of the Notes by a majority of the total votes cast on such proposal, in person or by proxy, by the holders of the then outstanding Common Shares (not including (x) any Common Shares held by present or former holders of Notes that were issued upon conversion of Notes or (y) any shares of capital stock or rights to acquire shares of capital stock issued by the Company that are held by present or former holders of such shares of capital stock or rights to acquire shares of capital stock which are aggregated or integrated with the Common Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Notes for purposes of Rule 4350(i)), or (B) shall have otherwise obtained permission to allow such issuances from Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 4350(i) and (2) shall, from that time forward, be convertible into such Holder’s pro rata share of the Maximum Share Amount (as hereinafter defined). If the Common Shares are not then listed on Nasdaq or an exchange or quotation system that has a rule substantially similar to Rule 4350(i), the limitations set forth herein shall be inapplicable and of no force and effect. If the Triggering Event occurs, the Company shall promptly seek Shareholder Approval. If the Triggering Event occurs and the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at a special meeting of shareholders, the Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate then outstanding principal amount of this Note at the rate of 15% per annum (but in no event in excess of the maximum rate permitted under applicable law). For purposes of this paragraph, “Outstanding Common Amount” means (i) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the earliest date of issuance of the Notes or any shares of capital stock or rights to acquire shares of capital stock issued by the Company which are aggregated or integrated with the Common Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Notes for purposes of such rule plus (ii) any additional shares of Common Shares issued thereafter in respect of such shares pursuant to a stock dividend, stock split or similar event. The maximum number of Common Shares issuable as a result of the 19.99% limitation set forth herein is hereinafter referred to as the “Maximum Share Amount.” With respect to each Holder of Notes, the Maximum Share Amount shall refer to such Holder’s pro rata share thereof based on the principal amount of Notes then held by such Holder relative to the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding plus the value of any shares of capital stock or rights to acquire shares of capital stock issued by the Company which are aggregated or integrated with the Common Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Notes for purposes of Rule 4350(i). In the event that the Company obtains Shareholder Approval or the approval of Nasdaq, by reason of the inapplicability of the rules of Nasdaq or otherwise that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 19(b) shall no longer apply and the number of shares that the Notes convert into will be as set forth in paragraph 19(a) above (such increased number being the “New Maximum Share Amount”) and the references to Maximum Share Amount, above, shall be deemed to be, instead, references to the greater New Maximum Share Amount. In

5


 

      the event that Shareholder Approval is not obtained, the Maximum Share Amount shall remain unchanged.
  c.   The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of any portion of the Conversion Amount shall be determined by dividing (x) such portion of the Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price in effect on the date of receipt of the Conversion Notice by the Company from the Holder pursuant to the Indenture. The Holder shall surrender its Note, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, to the Company at its office or agency at 600 W. Germantown Pike, Suite 400, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19482, accompanied by written notice to the Company that the Holder thereof elects to convert the Note, or if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted, and, in case such surrender shall be made during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date, also accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of the Note then being converted. Subject to the aforesaid requirement for payment and, in the case of a conversion after the Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, to the right of the Holder of the Note (or any Predecessor Security) of record at such Regular Record Date to receive an installment of interest (with certain exceptions provided in the Indenture), no payment or adjustment is to be made on conversion for interest accrued thereon or for dividends on the Common Stock issued on conversion. No fractions of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture. The conversion price is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture.
 
  d.   Qualified Offering” shall mean the issuance after the date hereof of equity securities of the Company or securities convertible into equity securities in one or more offerings to investors resulting in the receipt of proceeds, net of all commissions, by the Company in an aggregate amount of at least twelve million six hundred seventy two thousand four hundred sixty three dollars ($12,672,463).
  20)   The provisions of Article XV of the Indenture shall be applicable with respect to the Notes.
 
  21)   Except as otherwise provided for herein, the Notes are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities.
 
  22)   The following other terms shall apply to the Notes:

6


 

  a.   For purposes of the Notes, the definition of “Senior Indebtedness” in the Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows: “‘Senior Indebtedness’ means the principal of (and premium, if any), accrued interest (including interest accruing on or after the filing in bankruptcy or reorganization relating to the Company whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such proceedings), fees, charges, expenses, reimbursement obligations, guarantees and other amounts owing with respect to all Indebtedness of the Company under the 10.0% Notes.”
 
  b.   At any time on or following a Change of Control (as such term is defined below) and delivery of a written notice to the Company with a copy to the Trustee (the date such notice is delivered to the Company, the “Notice Date”), a Holder of a Note shall be entitled to demand prepayment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Note plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon for an amount in cash equal to the Prepayment Price (as such term is defined below).
 
      The Prepayment Price shall be due on the fifteenth Business Day immediately following the Notice Date. If any portion of the Prepayment Price shall not be timely paid by the Company, interest shall accrue thereon at the rate of 18% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less) until the Prepayment Price plus all such interest is paid in full, which payment shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty.
 
      For the purposes of this Paragraph 22b.,
 
      (i) “Change of Control” means the occurrence of (i) an acquisition after the date hereof by an individual or legal entity or “group” (as described in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) of effective control (whether through legal or beneficial ownership of capital stock of the Company, by contract or otherwise) of in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Company (except that the acquisition of voting securities by the Holder or any current holder of convertible securities of the Company shall not constitute a Change of Control for purposes hereof); (ii) a replacement at one time or over time of more than one-half of the members of the board of directors of the Company which is not approved by a majority of those individuals who are members of the board of directors on the date hereof (or by those individuals who are serving as members of the board of directors on any date whose nomination to the board of directors was approved by a majority of the members of the board of directors who are members on the date hereof); (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity as a result of which the holders of the voting securities of the Company immediately before such merger or consolidation do not hold

7


 

      fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity; (iv) the sale of fifty percent (50%) or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; or (v) the execution by the Company of an agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, providing for any of the events set forth above in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv).
      (ii) “Prepayment Price” for any Notes which shall be subject to prepayment pursuant to this Paragraph 22b., means the amount equal to the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note being prepaid pursuant to Paragraph 22b., plus all accrued but unpaid interest on such outstanding principal amount of such Note.
 
  c.   The Notes shall be substantially in the form of Annex A attached hereto, with such modifications thereto as may be approved by an authorized officer.
