at a per share exercise price equal to $11.50, which Warrants shall be evidenced
by the form of Warrant Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the services to be
rendered by Xxxxxxxxx pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, the agreements
herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agrees as
follows:
1. Grant and Exercise. The Holder is hereby granted the right to
purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at any time from March 7, 2002,
until the earlier to occur of (i) 5:30 p.m., New York time, on March 6, 2003
or (ii) the termination of the Consulting Agreement.
The initial exercise prices per share of the Warrants shall be
(subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 hereof) as provided in Section 6
hereof.
2. Warrant Certificates. The warrant certificates delivered and to
be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the form set forth in
Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof, with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and other variations as
required or permitted by this Agreement.
3. Exercise of Warrants. The Warrants initially are exercisable at
the initial exercise prices (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8
hereof) per share of Common Stock as set forth in Section 6 hereof payable by
certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds. Upon
surrender of a Warrant Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase
duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price (as hereinafter
defined) for the shares of Common Stock purchased at the Company's principal
offices in Pennsylvania (presently located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 18901) the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate ("Holder"
or "Holders") shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased. The purchase rights represented by each
Warrant Certificate are exercisable at the option of the Holder thereof, in
whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares of the Common Stock underlying
the Warrants), provided that no exercise may be for fewer than 50,000 shares of
Common Stock (or such lesser number that may remain upon exercise of the
Warrants). Warrants may be exercised to purchase all or part of the shares of
Common Stock represented thereby. In the case of the purchase of less than all
the shares of Common Stock purchasable under any Warrant Certificate, the
Company shall cancel said Warrant Certificate upon the surrender thereof and
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor for the
balance of the shares of Common Stock.
2
4. Issuance of Certificates. Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the
issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock or other securities,
properties or rights underlying such Warrants, shall be made forthwith (and in
any event such issuance shall be made within fifteen (15) business days
thereafter) without charge to the Holder thereof including, without limitation,
any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such
certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 7 hereof) be
issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder
thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of any such certificates in a name other than that of the Holder and
the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless
or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid
to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
The Warrant Certificates and the certificates representing the
shares of Common Stock (and/or other securities, property or rights issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants) shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the
manual or facsimile signature of the then present Chairman or Vice Chairman of
the Board of Directors or President or Vice President of the Company under its
corporate seal reproduced thereon, attested to by the manual or facsimile
signature of the then present Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company.
Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of execution by the Company upon
initial issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Holders. The Holder
represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
Section 5.1 Investment. The Holder is acquiring the Warrants and the
Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof for its own account as principal,
not as a nominee or agent, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to,
or for, resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

respect to all questions posed by the Holder to management; (c) has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Holder is
capable of evaluating, and the Holder has evaluated, the merits and risks of

(d) has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Holder's
investment in the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof,

need for liquidity in such investments.

understands and acknowledges that the certificates representing the Warrants and
the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof shall bear a legend
substantially as follows until (i) such securities shall have been registered
under the Act and effectively been disposed of in accordance with an effective
registration statement thereunder or (ii) in the opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Company such securities may be sold without registration under
the Act as well as any applicable "Blue Sky" or state securities laws:
"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE
SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR
PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, SUPPORTED BY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS
NOT REQUIRED."

opinion of counsel for the Company, so as to permit a public offering and sale
of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

to Registration. In connection with any registration under Section 7.1 hereof,
each of the Company and of the Holder, severally and not jointly covenants and
agrees as follows:
(a) The Company shall pay all costs (excluding any underwriting or
selling commissions or other charges of any broker-dealer acting on behalf of
Holders), fees and expenses in connection with all registration statements filed
pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof including, without limitation, the
Company's legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, blue sky fees and
expenses.

Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), against all loss, claim, damage,
expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any
of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising
from such registration statement; provided, however, that the Company will not
be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
with information furnished in writing specifically for use in such registration
statement or prospectus by any Holder, any such controlling person or any
underwriter of such registration statement, if any.
5
(d) Each Holder of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrants which are to be sold pursuant to a registration statement shall
indemnify the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the

underwriter of such registration statement, if any, and all other selling
security holders selling Common Stock pursuant to such registration statement
against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all expenses
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim
whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise, which may arise out of or be based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
with information furnished by such Holder in writing specifically for use in
such registration statement or prospectus.

requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Warrants prior to the initial filing

in the offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda described below and
the managing underwriter copies of all correspondence between the Commission and

applicable securities laws or rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). Such investigation shall include access to books,
records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company
with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at
such reasonable times and as often as any such Holder shall reasonably request
as it deems necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or NASD rules.
6
8. Adjustments to Exercise and Number of Securities.
Section 8.1 Stock Split, Stock Divided or Recapitalization. In case
the Company shall at any time effect a stock split, stock dividend or similar
capital adjustment to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
shall forthwith be adjusted. At the time of any such adjustment, the Company
shall make appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of its
obligations hereunder.
Section 8.2 Merger or Consolidation. In case of any consolidation of
the Company with, or merger of the Company with, or into, another corporation
(other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), the corporation
formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Holder a
supplemental warrant agreement providing that the holder of each of the Warrants
then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the
expiration of such Warrants) to receive, upon exercise of such warrants, the
kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable
upon such consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company for which such warrants might have been exercised
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such
supplemental warrant agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be
identical to the adjustments provided in this Section 8. The above provision of
this Subsection shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.
9. Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant
Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender thereof by the
registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new
Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase the same number of securities in such denominations as shall
be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such surrender.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate,
and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like
tenor, in lieu thereof.
7
10. Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be
required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of the Warrants, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or
pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties
that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to
the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock or other securities,
properties or rights.
11. Reservation and Listing of Securities. The Company shall at all
times reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock,
solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, such
number of shares of Common Stock or other securities, properties or rights as
shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees
that, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor,
all shares of Common Stock and other securities issuable upon such exercise
shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to
the preemptive rights of any stockholder. As long as the Warrants shall be
outstanding, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants to be listed (subject to
official notice of issuance) on all securities exchanges on which the Common
Stock issued to the public in connection herewith may then be listed and/or
quoted.
12. Notice of Warrant Holders. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or to
consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of
stockholders for the election of directors or any other manner, or as having any
rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time
prior to the expiration of the Warrants and their exercise, any of the following
events shall occur:
8
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or
distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution
payable otherwise than out of current or retained earnings, as indicated by the
accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the
Company; or
(b) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock
any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible
into or exchange for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option,
right or warrant to subscribe therefor; or
(c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other
than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or
substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety shall be
proposed;
then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give
notice of such event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed as a
record date or the date of the closing the transfer books for the termination of
the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or
exchangeable securities or subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such
proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify
such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be.
Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity
of any action taken in connection with the declaration or payment of any such
dividend, or the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities, or
subscription rights, options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or sale.
9
13. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return

(b) If to the Company, to the address set forth in Section 3 hereof
or to such other address as the Company may designate by notice to the Holders.
14. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Holder and
their respective successors and assigns hereunder.
15. Governing Laws Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and
each Warrant Certificate issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made
under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania and for all the purposes shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of said State without giving effect to the
rules of said State governing the conflicts of laws.
The Company and the Holder hereby agree that any action,
proceeding or claim against it arising out of, or relating in any way to,
this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the state or federal courts
located in the State of Pennsylvania, and irrevocably submits to such
jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. The Company, and the Holder
hereby irrevocably waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction or
inconvenient forum. Any such process or summons to be served upon any of the
Company and the Holder (at the option of the party bringing such action,
proceeding or claim) may be served by transmitting a copy thereof, by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to it at
the address as set forth in Section 13 hereof. Such mailing shall be deemed
personal service and shall be legal and binding upon the party so served in any
action, proceeding or claim.
10
16. Entire Agreement: Modification. This Agreement contains the
entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and may not be modified or amended except by a writing duly signed
by the party against whom enforcement of the modification or amendment is
sought.
17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held
to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision of this Agreement.
18. Captions. The caption headings of the Sections of this Agreement
are for convenience of reference only and are not intended, nor should they be
construed as, a part of this Agreement and shall be given no substantive effect.
19. Benefits of This Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company and the
Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; and
this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and
the Holder.
20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to
be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
11
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to
be duly executed, as of the day and year first above written.
