PROMISE TO PAY. CELL & MOLECULAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("BORROWER") PROMISES TO PAY
TO PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("LENDER"), OR ORDER, IN LAWFUL MONEY OF THE
UNTIED STALES OF AMERICA, THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF SEVEN HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND
& 00/100 DOLLARS ($720,000,00) OR SO MUCH AS MAY BE OUTSTANDING, TOGETHER WITH
INTEREST ON THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE FROM MAY 23, 2001, UNTIL PAID IN FULL.

PAYMENT. SUBJECT TO ANY PAYMENT CHANGES RESULTING FROM CHANGES IN THE INDEX,
BORROWER WILL PAY THIS LOAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING PAYMENT SCHEDULE:

         PRIOR TO MAY 22, 2002 (THE "CONVERSION DATE"), INTEREST ONLY SHALL BE
         DUE AND PAYABLE COMMENCING JUNE 22, 2001 AND CONTINUING ON THE SAME DAY
         OF EACH MONTH THEREAFTER UNTIL THE CONVERSION DATE, WITH INTEREST
         CALCULATED ON THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE AT A RATE EQUAL TO THE INDEX
         (AS DEFINED BELOW). FROM AND AFTER THE CONVERSION DATE, PRINCIPAL AND
         INTEREST WILL BE PAYABLE AS FOLLOWS: (I) COMMENCING ON JUNE 22, 2002,
         AND CONTINUING ON THE SAME DAY OF EACH MONTH THEREAFTER TO AND
         INCLUDING APRIL 22, 2009, PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL TOGETHER WITH INTEREST
         CALCULATED ON THE UNPAID BALANCE OF THIS NOTE AT THE AS OFFERED
         INTEREST RATE (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) IN EFFECT ON THE CONVERSION DATE
         IN AN AMOUNT (THE "LEVEL PAYMENT AMOUNT") SUFFICIENT TO AMORTIZE THE
         OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS NOTE ON THE CONVERSION DATE, ON A
         MORTGAGE STYLE AMORTIZATION SCHEDULE, OVER A SEVEN (7) YEAR TERM; AND
         (II) A FINAL PAYMENT ON MAY 22,2009 (THE "MATURITY DATE") EQUAL TO ALL
         PRINCIPAL, ACCRUED AND UNPAID INTEREST, AND OTHER CHARGES THEN UNPAID.
         THE "AS-OFFERED INTEREST RATE" SHALL MEAN A RATE OF INTEREST PER ANNUM,
         AS OFFERED BY LENDER TO THE BORROWER IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, AS THE
         RATE AT WHICH LENDER WOULD ADVANCE FUNDS TO THE BORROWER FOR THE THEN
         REMAINING TERM OF THIS NOTE IN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE THEN
         OUTSTANDING. THE AS-OFFERED INTEREST RATE SHALL BE AGREED TO BY THE
         BORROWER AND LENDER NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR TO THE
         CONVERSION DATE. IF THE BORROWER AND LENDER CANNOT AGREE UPON AN
         AS-OFFERED INTEREST RATE AT LEAST THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR TO THE
         CONVERSION DATE, INTEREST WILL ACCRUE ON THIS NOTE FOLLOWING THE
         CONVERSION DATE AT A RATE (THE "BASE RATE") EQUAL TO THE INDEX (AS
         DEFINED HEREIN) AND THE BASE RATE SHALL BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE
         AS-OFFERED RATE IN DETERMINING THE LEVEL PAYMENT AMOUNT. IF THE LEVEL
         PAYMENT AMOUNT IS CALCULATED USING THE BASE RATE, SUCH LEVEL PAYMENT
         AMOUNT MAY BE ADJUSTED UPWARD FROM TIME TO TIME BY LENDER IN ITS
         DISCRETION IF: (a) BECAUSE OF CHANGES IN THE INDEX, THE LEVEL PAYMENT
         AMOUNT BECOMES INSUFFICIENT TO REPAY ALL ACCRUED INTEREST FOR ANY
         PAYMENT PERIOD; OR (b) ANY PAYMENT(S) ARE MADE BY BORROWER AFTER THEIR
         RESPECTIVE DUE DATE(S). OTHERWISE ANY LEVEL PAYMENT AMOUNT MAY BE
         ADJUSTED (UPWARD OR DOWNWARD) BY LENDER AS OF JANUARY 1ST OF EACH YEAR
         TO REFLECT CHANGES IN THE APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE. THE LEVEL PAYMENT
         AMOUNT AS ADJUSTED BY LENDER FROM TIME TO TIME SHALL, AT THE TIME OF
         SUCH ADJUSTMENT, BE IN AN AMOUNT SUFFICIENT TO FULLY AMORTIZE THE THEN
         OUTSTANDING BALANCE OF THIS NOTE BASED ON THE THEN REMAINING TERM OF
         THIS NOTE. THE "INDEX" SHALL MEAN THE RATE PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED BY LENDER
         FROM TIME TO TIME AS ITS PRIME RATE. THE PRIME RATE IS NOT TIED TO ANY
         EXTERNAL RATE OR INDEX AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE LOWEST RATE
         OF INTEREST ACTUALLY CHARGED BY LENDER TO ANY PARTICULAR CLASS OR
         CATEGORY OF CUSTOMERS. IF AND WHEN THE PRIME RATE CHANGES, THE INDEX
         WILL CHANGE AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT NOTICE TO THE BORROWER, EFFECTIVE ON
         THE DATE OF ANY SUCH CHANGE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE INTEREST
         RATE ON THIS NOTE BE MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM RATE ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE
         LAW.

The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is,
by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days,
multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number
of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at
Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in
writing. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be
applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal, and any remaining
amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on changes in an index which is the Lender's Prime Rate (the
"Index"). The index is a rate per annum as publicly announced by Lender from
time to time as its Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is not tied to any external rate
or index and it does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of interest
actually charged by Lender to any particular class or category of customers.
Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request.
Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well.
The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. THE INDEX
CURRENTLY IS 7.000% PER ANNUM. THE INTEREST RATE TO BE APPLIED TO THE UNPAID
PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS NOTE WILL BE AT A RATE OF 0.500 PERCENTAGE POINTS OVER
THE INDEX, RESULTING IN A CURRENT RATE OF 7.500% PER ANNUM. NOTICE: Under no
circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate
allowed by applicable law. Whenever increases occur in the interest rate,
Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (a) increase
Borrower's payments to ensure Borrower's loan will pay off by its original final
maturity date, (b) increase Borrower's payments to cover accruing interest, (c)
increase the number of Borrower's payments, and (d) continue Borrower's payments
at the same amount and increase Borrower's final payment.

PREPAYMENT PENALTY. UPON PREPAYMENT OF THIS NOTE, LENDER IS ENTITLED TO THE
FOLLOWING PREPAYMENT PENALTY: UPON PREPAYMENT OF THIS NOTE, LENDER IS ENTITLED
TO THE FOLLOWING PREPAYMENT PENALTY: ON ANY BUSINESS DAY, UPON PAYMENT OF ALL
ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST ON THE NOTE, AND UPON FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAY'S PRIOR
WRITTEN NOTICE TO LENDER, THE BORROWER MAY PREPAY ALL OR PART OF THE OUTSTANDING
PRINCIPAL HEREUNDER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF THE PREPAYMENT IS MADE DURING
THE FIXED RATE PERIOD, THE BORROWER, WHERE NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ALSO AGREES TO
PAY LENDER AS COMPENSATION FOR THE COST OF BEING PREPARED TO ADVANCE FIXED RATE
FUNDS HEREUNDER AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE COST OF PREPAYMENT. "COST OF PREPAYMENT"
MEANS AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE PRESENT VALUE, IF POSITIVE, OF THE PRODUCT OF (a)
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN (I) THE YIELD, ON THE BEGINNING DATE OF THE APPLICABLE
INTEREST PERIOD, OF A U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATION WITH A MATURITY SIMILAR TO THE
APPLICABLE INTEREST PERIOD MINUS (II) THE YIELD ON THE PREPAYMENT DATE, OF A
U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATION WITH A MATURITY SIMILAR TO THE REMAINING MATURITY OF
THE APPLICABLE INTEREST PERIOD, AND (b) THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT TO BE PREPAID, AND
(c) THE NUMBER OF YEARS, INCLUDING FRACTIONAL YEARS, FROM THE PREPAYMENT DATE TO
THE END OF THE APPLICABLE INTEREST PERIOD. THE YIELD ON ANY U.S. TREASURY
OBLIGATION SHALL BE DETERMINED BY REFERENCE TO FEDERAL RESERVE STATISTICAL
RELEASE H.15 (519) "SELECTED INTEREST RATES". FOR PURPOSES OF MAKING PRESENT
VALUE CALCULATIONS, THE YIELD TO MATURITY OF A SIMILAR MATURITY U.S. TREASURY
OBLIGATION ON THE PREPAYMENT DATE SHALL BE DEEMED THE DISCOUNT RATE. THE COST OF
PREPAYMENT SHALL ALSO APPLY TO ANY PAYMENTS MADE AFTER ACCELERATION OF THE
MATURITY OF THIS NOTE WHILE A FIXED RATE IS IN EFFECT. Except for the foregoing,
Borrower may pay all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due.
Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower
of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under the payment
schedule. Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due and may result in
Borrower making fewer payments.

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 15 DAYS OR MORE LATE, Borrower will be charged
5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment

amount. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at
its option, may also, if permitted under applicable law, increase the variable

interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

         including without limitation all real property and all personal
         property (tangible or intangible) of the Corporation. Such property may
         be mortgaged, pledged, transferred, endorsed, hypothecated, or
         encumbered at the time such loans are obtained or such indebtedness is
         incurred, or at any other time or times, and may be either in addition
         to or in lieu of any property theretofore mortgaged, pledged,
         transferred, endorsed, hypothecated, or encumbered. The provisions of
         these Resolutions authorizing or relating to the pledge, mortgage,
         transfer, endorsement, hypothecation, granting of a security interest
         in, or in any way encumbering, the assets of the Corporation shall
         include, without limitation, doing so in order to lend collateral
         security for the indebtedness, now or hereafter existing, and of any
         nature whatsoever, of CELL & MOLECULAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. to Lender.
         The Corporation has considered the value to itself of lending
         collateral in support of such indebtedness, and the Corporation
         represents to Lender that the Corporation is benefited by doing so.

         EXECUTE SECURITY DOCUMENTS. To execute and deliver to Lender the forms
         of mortgage, deed of trust, pledge agreement, hypothecation agreement,
         and other security agreements and financing statements which may be
         submitted by Lender, and which shall evidence the terms and conditions
         under and pursuant to which such liens and encumbrances, or any of
         them, are given; and also to execute and deliver to Lender any other
         written instruments, any chattel paper, or any other collateral, of any
         kind or nature, which he or she may in his or her discretion deem
         reasonably necessary or proper in connection with or pertaining to the
         giving of the liens and encumbrances.

         FURTHER ACTS. To do and perform such other acts and things and to
         execute and deliver such other documents and agreements, including
         agreements waiving the right to a trial by jury and confessing judgment
         against the Corporation, as he or she may in his or her discretion deem
         reasonably necessary or proper in order to carry into effect the
         provisions of these Resolutions.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Corporation will notify Lender in writing at
Lender's address shown above (or such other addresses as Lender may designate
from time to time) prior to any (a) change in the name of the Corporation, (b)
change in the assumed business name(s) of the Corporation, (c) change in the
management of the Corporation, (d) change in the authorized signer(s), (e)
conversion of the Corporation to a new or different type of business entity, or
(f) change in any other aspect of the Corporation that directly or indirectly
relates to any agreements between the Corporation and Lender. No change in the
name of the Corporation will take effect until after Lender has been notified.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any and all acts authorized pursuant to these
Resolutions and performed prior to the passage of these Resolutions are hereby
ratified and approved, that these Resolutions shall remain in full force and
effect and Lender may rely on these Resolutions until written notice of his or
her revocation shall have been delivered to and received by Lender. Any such
notice shall not affect any of the Corporation's agreements or commitments in
effect at the time notice is given.

I FURTHER CERTIFY that the officer, employee, or agent named above is duly
elected, appointed, or employed by or for the Corporation, as the case may be,

now stand of record on the books of the Corporation; and that the Resolutions

TO PAY TO PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("LENDER") OR ITS ORDER, IN LEGAL
TENDER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE INDEBTEDNESS [AS THAT TERM IS
DEFINED BELOW) OF CELL & MOLECULAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("BORROWER) TO LENDER ON
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY. THE OBLIGATIONS OF

         INDEBTEDNESS. The word "Indebtedness" is used in its most comprehensive
         sense and means and includes any and all of Borrower's liabilities,
         obligations, debts, and indebtedness to Lender, now existing or
         hereinafter incurred or created, including, without limitation, all
         loans, advances, interest, costs, debts, overdraft indebtedness, credit
         card indebtedness, lease obligations, other obligations, and
         liabilities of Borrower, or any of them, and any present or future
         judgments against Borrower, or any of them; and whether any such
         Indebtedness is voluntarily or involuntarily incurred, due or not due,
         absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or
         undetermined; whether Borrower may be liable individually or jointly
         with others, or primarily or secondarily, or as guarantor or surety;
         whether recovery on the Indebtedness may be or may become barred or
         unenforceable against Borrower for any reason whatsoever; and whether
         the Indebtedness arises from transactions which may be voidable on
         account of infancy, insanity, ultra vires, of otherwise.

         LENDER. The word "Lender" means PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, its
         successors and assigns.

         RELATED DOCUMENTS. The words "Related Documents" mean and include
         without limitation all promissory notes, credit agreements, loan
         agreements, environmental agreements, guaranties, security agreements,
         mortgages, deeds of trust, and all other instruments, agreements and
         documents, whether now or hereafter existing, executed in connection
         with the Indebtedness.

MAXIMUM LIABILITY. THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF GUARANTOR UNDER THIS GUARANTY SHALL
NOT EXCEED AT ANY ONE TIME THE SUM OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $ 720,000.00, PLUS
ALL INTEREST THEREON, PLUS ALL OF LENDER'S COSTS, EXPENSES, AND ATTORNEYS' FEES
INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO (A) THE COLLECTION OF THE
INDEBTEDNESS, (B) THE COLLECTION AND SALE OF ANY COLLATERAL FOR THE INDEBTEDNESS
OR THIS GUARANTY, OR (C) THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS GUARANTY. ATTORNEYS' FEES
INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS' FEES WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A LAWSUIT,
AND IF THERE IS A LAWSUIT, ANY FEES AND COSTS FOR TRIAL AND APPEALS.

The above limitation on liability is not a restriction on the amount of the
Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender either in the aggregate or at any one time.
If Lender presently holds one or more guaranties, or hereafter receives
additional guaranties from Guarantor, the rights of Lender under all guaranties
shall be cumulative. This Guaranty shall not (unless specifically provided below
to the contrary) affect or invalidate any such other guaranties. The liability
of Guarantor will be the aggregate liability of Guarantor under the terms of
this Guaranty and any such other unterminated guaranties.

NATURE OF GUARANTY. Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty shall be open and
continuous for so long as this Guaranty remains in force. Guarantor intends to
guarantee at all times the performance and prompt payment when due, whether at
maturity or earlier by reason of acceleration or otherwise, of all lndebtedness
within the limits set forth in the preceding section of this Guaranty.
Accordingly, no payments made upon the Indebtedness will discharge or diminish
the continuing liability of Guarantor in connection with any remaining portions
of the Indebtedness or any of the Indebtedness which subsequently arises or is
thereafter incurred or contracted.

DURATION OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender
without the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or any notice to Guarantor or
to Borrower, and will continue in full force until all Indebtedness incurred or
contracted before receipt by Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been
fully and finally paid and satisfied and all other obligations of Guarantor
under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full. If Guarantor elects to
revoke this Guaranty, Guarantor may only do so in writing. Guarantor's written
notice of revocation must be mailed to Lender, by certified mail, at the address
of Lender listed above or such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
Written revocation of this Guaranty will apply only to advances or new
Indebtedness created after actual receipt by Lender of Guarantor's written
revocation. For this purpose and without limitation, the term "new Indebtedness"
does not include Indebtedness which at the time of notice of revocation is
contingent, unliquidated, undetermined or not due and which later becomes
absolute, liquidated, determined or due. This Guaranty will continue to bind
Guarantor for all Indebtedness incurred by Borrower or committed by Lender prior
to receipt of Guarantor's written notice of revocation, including any
extensions, renewals, substitutions or modifications of the Indebtedness. All
renewals, extensions, substitutions, and modifications of the Indebtedness
granted after Guarantor's revocation, are contemplated under this Guaranty and,
specifically will not be considered to be new Indebtedness. This Guaranty shall
bind the estate of Guarantor as to Indebtedness created both before and after
the death or incapacity of Guarantor, regardless of Lender's actual notice of
Guarantor's death. Subject to the foregoing. Guarantor's executor or
administrator or other legal representative may terminate this Guaranty in the
same manner in which Guarantor might have terminated it and with the same
effect. Release of any other guarantor or termination of any other guaranty of
the Indebtedness shall not affect the liability of Guarantor under this
Guaranty, A revocation received by Lender from any one or more Guarantors shall
not affect the liability of any remaining Guarantors under this Guaranty. IT IS
ANTICIPATED THAT FLUCTUATIONS MAY OCCUR IN THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF INDEBTEDNESS
COVERED BY THIS GUARANTY, AND IT IS SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED BY
GUARANTOR THAT REDUCTIONS IN THE AMOUNT OR INDEBTEDNESS, EVEN TO ZERO DOLLARS
($0.00), PRIOR TO WRITTEN REVOCATION OR THIS GUARANTY BY GUARANTOR SHALL NOT
CONSTITUTE A TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY. THIS GUARANTY IS BINDING UPON
GUARANTOR AND GUARANTOR'S HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS SO LONG AS ANY OF THE
GUARANTEED INDEBTEDNESS REMAINS UNPAID AND EVEN THOUGH THE INDEBTEDNESS
GUARANTEED MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE ZERO DOLLARS ($0.00).

GUARANTOR'S AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER. Guarantor authorizes Lender, either before
or after any revocation hereof, WITHOUT NOTICE OR DEMAND AND WITHOUT LESSENING
GUARANTOR'S LIABILITY UNDER THIS GUARANTY, FROM TIME TO TIME: (A) PRIOR TO
REVOCATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE, TO MAKE ONE OR MORE ADDITIONAL SECURED OR
UNSECURED LOANS TO BORROWER, TO LEASE EQUIPMENT OR OTHER GOODS TO BORROWER, OR
OTHERWISE TO EXTEND

facts, events, or circumstances which might in any way affect Guarantor's risks
under this Guaranty, and Guarantor further agrees that Lender shall have no
obligation to disclose to Guarantor any information or documents acquired by
Lender in the course of its relationship with Borrower.

GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS. Except as prohibited by applicable law, Guarantor waives
any right to require Lender (a) to continue lending money or to extend other
credit to Borrower; (b) to make any presentment, protest, demand, or notice of
any kind, including notice of any nonpayment of the Indebtedness or of any

applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code; (f) to pursue any other
remedy within Lender's power; or (g) to commit any act or omission of any kind,
or at any time, with respect to any matter whatsoever.

Guarantor also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (a)
any "one action" or "anti-deficiency" law or any other law which may prevent
Lender from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against
Guarantor, before or after Lender's commencement or completion [ILLEGIBLE] any
foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (b) any
election of remedies by Lender which destroys or otherwise advers[ILLEGIBLE]

guarantor, or of any other person, or by reason of the cessation of Borrower's

basis of unjustified impairment of any collateral for the Indebtedness; (e) any

against Guarantor is commenced there is outstanding Indebtedness of Borrower to
Lender which is not barred by any applicable statute of limitations; or (f) any
defenses given to guarantors at law or in equity other than actual payment and
performance of the Indebtedness. If payment is made by Borrower, whether
voluntarily or otherwise, or by any third party, on the Indebtedness and
thereafter Lender is forced to remit the amount of that payment to Borrower's
trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person under any federal or state
bankruptcy law or law for the relief of debtors, the Indebtedness shall be
considered unpaid for the purpose of enforcement of this Guaranty.

Guarantor further waives and agrees not to assert or claim at any time any
deductions to the amount guaranteed under this Guaranty for any claim of setoff,
counterclaim, counter demand, recoupment or similar right, whether such claim,
demand or right may be asserted by the Borrower, the Guarantor, or both.

GUARANTOR'S UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS. Guarantor warrants and agrees
that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantor's full knowledge
of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the
waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any such
waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such
waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law or public policy.

LENDER'S RIGHT OF SETOFF. In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff
against the moneys, securities or other property of Guarantor given to Lender by
law, Lender shall have, with respect to Guarantor's obligations to Lender under
this Guaranty and to the extent permitted by law, a contractual security
interest in and a right of setoff against, and Guarantor hereby assigns,
conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all of Guarantor's right,
title and interest in and to, all deposits, moneys, securities and other
property of Guarantor now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with
Lender, whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether held
jointly with someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise,
excluding however all IRA, Keogh, and trust accounts. Every such security
interest and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to
Guarantor. No security interest or right of setoff shall be deemed to have been
waived by any act or conduct on the part of Lender or by any neglect to exercise
such right of setoff or to enforce such security interest or by any delay in so
doing. Every right of setoff and security interest shall continue in full force
and effect until such right of setoff or security interest is specifically
waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by Lender.

SUBORDINATION OF BORROWER'S DEBTS TO GUARANTOR. Guarantor agrees that the
Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, whether now existing or hereafter created,
shall be prior to any claim that Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire
against Borrower, whether or not Borrower becomes insolvent. Guarantor hereby
expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor may have against Borrower, upon any
account whatsoever, to any claim that Lender may now or hereafter have against
Borrower. In the event of insolvency and consequent liquidation of the assets of
Borrower through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by
voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets of Borrower applicable to the
payment of the claims of both Lender and Guarantor shall be paid to Lender and
shall be first applied by Lender to the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender.
Guarantor does hereby assign to Lender all claims which it may have or acquire
against Borrower or against any assignee or trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower;
provided however, that such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose
of assuring to Lender full payment in legal tender of the Indebtedness, If
Lender so requests, any notes or credit agreements now or hereafter evidencing
any debts or obligations of Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend
that the same are subject to this Guaranty and shall be delivered to Lender.
Guarantor agrees, and Lender

file financing statements and continuation statements and to execute such other
documents and to take such other actions as Lender deems necessary or
appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce its rights under this Guaranty.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Guaranty:

         AMENDMENTS. This Guaranty, together with any Related Documents,
         constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to
         the matters set forth in this Guaranty. No alteration of or amendment
         to this Guaranty shall be effective unless given in writing and signed
         by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration
         or amendment.

         APPLICABLE LAW. This Guaranty has been delivered to Lender and accepted
         by Lender in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. If there is a lawsuit,
         Guarantor agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of
         the courts of LACKAWANNA County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Lender
         and Guarantor hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action,
         proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or Guarantor
         against the other. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in
         accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

         ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Guarantor agrees to pay upon demand all of
         Lender's costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and Lender's
         legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this
         Guaranty. Lender may pay someone else to help enforce this Guaranty,
         and Guarantor shall pay the costs and expenses of such enforcement.
         Costs and expenses include Lender's attorneys' fees and legal expenses
         whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and legal
         expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (and including efforts to modify
         or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any
         anticipated post-judgment collection services. Guarantor also shall pay
         all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the
         court.

         NOTICES. All notices required to be given by either party to the other
         under this Guaranty shall be in writing, may be sent by telefacsimile
         (unless otherwise required by law), and, except for revocation notices
         by Guarantor, shall be effective when actually delivered or when
         deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or when
         deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid,
         addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the address
         shown above or to such other addresses as either party may designate to
         the other in writing. All revocation notices by Guarantor shall be in
         writing and shall be effective only upon delivery to Lender as provided
         above in the section titled "DURATION OF GUARANTY." If there is more
         than one Guarantor, notice to any Guarantor will constitute notice to
         all Guarantors. For notice purposes, Guarantor agrees to keep Lender
         informed at all times of Guarantor's current address.

         INTERPRETATION. In all cases where there is more than one Borrower or
         Guarantor, then all words used in this Guaranty in the singular shall
         be deemed to have been used in the plural where the context and
         construction so require; and where there is more than one Borrower
         named in this Guaranty or when this Guaranty is executed by more than
         one Guarantor, the words "Borrower" and,"Guarantor" respectively shall
         mean all and any one or more of them. The words "Guarantor,"
         "Borrower," and "Lender" include the heirs, successors, assigns, and
         transferees of each of them. Caption headings in this Guaranty are for
         convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define
         the provisions of this Guaranty. If a court of competent jurisdiction
         finds any provision of this Guaranty to be invalid or unenforceable as
         to any person or circumstance, such finding shall not render that
         provision invalid or unenforceable as to any other persons or
         circumstances, and all provisions of this Guaranty in all other
         respects shall remain valid and enforceable. If any one or more of
         Borrower or Guarantor are corporations or partnerships, it is not
         necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of Borrower or
         Guarantor or of the officers, directors, partners, or agents acting or
         purporting to act on their behalf, and any Indebtedness made or created
         in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be
         guaranteed under this Guaranty.

         WAIVER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
         Guaranty unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender.
         No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right
         shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by
         Lender of a provision of this Guaranty shall not prejudice or
         constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict
         compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Guaranty.
         No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and
         Guarantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of
         any of Guarantor's obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever
         the consent of Lender is required under this Guaranty, the granting of
         such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing
         consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in
         all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole
         discretion of Lender.

MODIFICATION OF CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. Notwithstanding the attorney's
commission provided for in the paragraph of this Note entitled "Confession of
Judgment" (which is included in the warrant lor purposes of establishing a sum
certain), the amount of attorneys' fees that Lender may recover from Borrower
shall not exceed the actual attorneys' fees incurred by Lender.

CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY
ATTORNEY OR THE PROTHONOTARY OR CLERK OF ANY COURT IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF
PENNSYLVANIA, OR ELSEWHERE, TO APPEAR AT ANY TIME FOR GUARANTOR AFTER A DEFAULT

THIS GUARANTY, ALL ACCRUED INTEREST, LATE CHARGES, AND ANY AND ALL AMOUNTS

GUARANTY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST GUARANTOR SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY ANY
EXERCISE OF THAT AUTHORITY, BUT SHALL CONTINUE FROM TIME TO TIME AND AT ALL
TIMES UNTIL PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL AMOUNTS DUE UNDER THIS GUARANTY. GUARANTOR
HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT GUARANTOR MAY HAVE TO NOTICE OR TO A HEARING IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT, EXCEPT ANY NOTICE AND/OR

acting for and on behalf of the Corporation and as its act and deed be, and he
or she hereby is, authorized and empowered:

         GUARANTY. To guarantee or act as surety for loans or other financial
         accommodations to CELL & MOLECULAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. from PNC BANK,
         NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Lender") on such guarantee or surety terms as
         may be agreed upon between the officers or employees of this
         Corporation and Lender and in such sum or sums of money as in his or
         her judgment should be guaranteed or assured, not exceeding, however,

         DOLLARS ($ 720,000.00), in addition to such sum or sums of money as may
         be currently guaranteed by the Corporation to Lender (the "Guaranty").

         GRANT SECURITY. To mortgage, pledge, transfer, endorse, hypothecate, or
         otherwise encumber and deliver to Lender, as security for the Guaranty,
         any property now or hereafter belonging to the Corporation or in which
         the Corporation now or hereafter may have an interest, including
         without limitation all real property and all personal property
         (tangible or intangible) of the Corporation. Such property may be

         or at any other time or times, and may be either in addition to or in

         the indebtedness, now or hereafter existing, and of any nature
         whatsoever, of CELL & MOLECULAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. to Lender. The
         Corporation has considered the value to itself of lending collateral in
         support of such indebtedness, and the Corporation represents to Lender
         that the Corporation is benefited by doing so.

         EXECUTE SECURITY DOCUMENTS. To execute and deliver to Lender the forms
         of mortgage, deed of trust, pledge agreement, hypothecation agreement,
         and other security agreements and financing statements which may be
         submitted by Lender, and which shall evidence the terms and conditions
         under and pursuant to which such liens and encumbrances, or any of
         them, are given; and also to execute and deliver to Lender any other
         written instruments, any chattel paper, or any other collateral, of any
         kind or nature, which he or she may in his or her discretion deem
         reasonably necessary or proper in connection with or pertaining to the
         giving of the liens and encumbrances.

         FURTHER ACTS. To do and perform such other acts and things and to
         execute and deliver such other documents and agreements, INCLUDING
         AGREEMENTS WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND CONFESSING JUDGMENT
         AGAINST THE CORPORATION, as he or she may in his or her discretion deem
         reasonably necessary or proper in order to carry into effect the
         provisions of these Resolutions.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Corporation will notify Lender in writing at
Lender's address shown above (or such other addresses as Lender may designate
from time to time) prior to any (a) change in the name of the Corporation, (b)
change in the assumed business name(s) of the Corporation, (c) change in the
management of the Corporation,, (d) change in the authorized signer(s), (e)
conversion of the Corporation to a new or different type of business entity, or
(f) change in any other aspect of the Corporation that directly or indirectly
relates to any agreements between the Corporation and Lender. No change in the
name of the Corporation will take effect until after Lender has been notified.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any and all acts authorized pursuant to these
Resolutions and performed prior to the passage of these Resolutions are hereby
ratified and approved, that these Resolutions shall remain in full force and
effect and Lender may rely on these Resolutions until written notice of his or
her revocation shall have been delivered to and received by Lender. Any such
notice shall not affect any of the Corporation's agreements or commitments in
effect at the time notice is given.

I FURTHER CERTIFY that the officer, employee, or agent named above is duly
elected, appointed, or employed by or for the Corporation, as the case may be,
