The Warrant represented hereby is delivered pursuant to and is subject to that certain Subscription Agreement accepted by the Company as of October 31, 2007 by and between the Company and the Holder (the Agreement).

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall be exercisable commencing on the date hereof and shall expire at the times specified herein under the heading EXPIRATION OF WARRANT (the Exercise Period). Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by surrendering this Warrant, with the Notice of Exercise appended hereto duly executed by or on behalf of the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of the Exercise Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Stock purchased upon such exercise.
2. EXPIRATION OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable upon the earlier to occur of:
(i) | 5:00 p.m., Philadelphia local time, on November 1, 2012; or | ||
(ii) | a Change of Control (as defined below). |
In the event of a proposed Change of Control, the Company shall give the Holder ten (10) days prior notice of the proposed closing date of the Change of Control and, to the extent the Warrant has not been exercised by such date, then this Warrant shall terminate. Change of Control shall mean:
(i) | the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation or other form of reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring entity or |
its subsidiary, but excluding any transaction effected primarily for the purpose of changing the Companys jurisdiction of incorporation), unless the Companys stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions will, immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity; or | |||
(ii) | a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. |
3. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATE UPON EXERCISE. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price (which payment shall be deemed to have occurred when funds are immediately available to the Company without provisions), but in no event more than three Business Days (as defined below) after such exercise, the Company will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the registered Holder hereof or its assigns, or such Holders nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Stock of the Company to which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise (and in the case of a partial exercise, a Warrant of like tenor for the unexercised portion remaining subject to exercise prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period set forth herein). For all corporate purposes, such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and such Holder or such Holders designee to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Stock as of the date the duly executed exercise form pursuant to this Warrant, together with full payment of the Exercise Price, is received by the Company as aforesaid. No fraction of a share or scrip certificate for such fraction shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant; in lieu thereof, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to such Holder cash equal to a like fraction at the prevailing fair market price for such share as determined in good faith by the Company.
4. ADJUSTMENTS.
a. Dividends. In the event that a dividend shall be declared upon the Stock of the Company payable in shares of Stock, the number of shares of Stock covered by this Warrant shall be adjusted by adding thereto the number of shares that would have been distributable thereon if such shares had been outstanding on the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to receive such stock dividend, and the Per Share Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Per Share Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the payment of such stock dividend and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the payment of such stock dividend.
b. Reorganizations, Consolidations, Mergers. Except as otherwise set forth herein, in the event that the outstanding shares of Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of shares, merger or consolidation, then upon exercise of this Warrant there shall be substituted for the shares of Stock covered by this Warrant, the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities that would have been substituted therefor if such shares of Stock had been outstanding on the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to receive such changed or substituted stock or other securities and the exercise price shall be proportionately adjusted.
c. Other Changes. In the event there shall be any change, other than specified above, in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Stock of the Company or of any stock or other securities into which such Stock shall be changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, then if the Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith, that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of shares covered by this Warrant, such adjustment shall be made by the Board of Directors and shall be effective and binding for all purposes on this Warrant.
d. Registration Default (i). The Company and the Holder agree that the Holder will suffer damages if the Company fails to fulfill its obligations pursuant to Section 11 of the Agreement and that it would not be possible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Company hereby agrees to provide liquidated damages to the Investor, in the form of an adjustment to the Per Share Exercise Price, under the following circumstances (each such event a Registration Default) if the Registration Statement (as defined in the Agreement):
(ii) | is not filed by the Company on or prior to the 120th day after the Closing Date; or | ||
(iii) | is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on or prior to the 90th day after the date the Registration Statement is first filed with the SEC. |
In the event that there shall occur a Registration Default, then the Per Share Exercise Price shall be reduced by $0.25 for each full thirty (30) day period for which such Registration Default exists and is continuing unless waived by the holders of Warrants exercisable for a majority of the shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Warrants issued in the Offering.
5. LOST, STOLEN, DESTROYED OR MUTILATED WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft or destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon the surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
6. TRANSFER.
a. Owner of Warrant. The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the Holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided below.

7. COVENANTS.
