dividends on the basis of one share of Common Stock for each one dollar of
accrued but unpaid dividends.

                           (iv)     Upon conversion of the Preferred Stock each
share of Common Stock will also receive a five (5) year warrant to purchase an
additional share of Common Stock (the "Warrant") at an exercise price to be

                           (v)      From and after the completion of five (5)
years after issuance of the Preferred Stock DVI shall have the option to require
PHS to repurchase any unconverted shares of Preferred Stock on the basis of two

                           (vi)     PHS shall have the right to redeem the
Preferred Stock during the first five (5) years after its issuance on the
following basis:

                                    (A)     If the Preferred Stock is redeemed

                           (vii)    In the event there is a Change of Control of
PHS then and in that event DVI shall have thirty (30) days from and after
receiving notice of the Change of Control event (which PHS shall provide upon
its occurrence) to require PHS to purchase from DVI all of its then remaining
shares of Preferred Stock, which PHS shall do within thirty (30) days of receipt
of the election notice from DVI, at a price equal to the greater of:

                                    (A)     the redemption price required to be
paid by PHS to accomplish a redemption of the DVI then owned Preferred Stock as
of the date of the change of control event, or

                                    (B)     an amount equal to the public market
price of PHS Common Stock as quoted in the public market in which the PHS Common
Stock then trades on the date of the change of control event (either the last
quoted sale price or the average of the last bid and asked price, whichever more

                                       3
<PAGE>

accurately then provides the closing sale price on said date) multiplied by (1)
the number of shares of Common Stock into which the remaining shares of
Preferred Stock issued to DVI and then owned by DVI could then be converted, and
(2) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants to be issued in
connection with the conversion of the DVI then owned Preferred Stock could then
be exchanged. Against such total is then deducted the exercise price of the
Warrants required to be paid at that time in connection with their exercise.

A Change of Control shall be deemed to have taken place if:

                           (C)      Any person - including a group of persons
acting in concert for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of
voting securities of PHS, but excluding Howard G. Berger, M.D. and his heirs,
and any corporation of which Howard G. Berger, M.D. or his heirs, is the
majority shareholder - becomes the beneficial owner (as beneficial ownership is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and any
successor rule thereto) of voting securities of PHS having fifty-one percent
(51%) or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of
directors of PHS; or

                           (D)      There occurs (i)(w) any cash tender or
exchange offer for shares of PHS, (x) any merger or other business combination
involving PHS, (y) any sale of assets of PHS, or (z) any combination of the
foregoing transactions, and (ii) as a result of or in connection with any such
event (including, without limitation, the voluntary resignation of one or more
directors) persons who were directors of PHS before the event shall cease to
constitute a majority of the board of directors of PHS or any entity successor
thereto or to substantially all of the assets thereof; or

                           (E)      There occurs (i) a merger or other business
combination involving PHS, and (ii) the persons who owned the issued and
outstanding voting securities of PHS immediately prior to the transaction cease
to beneficially own, as a result of the transaction, issued or outstanding
voting securities of PHS or any entity successor thereto or to substantially all
of the assets thereof which entitle the holders thereof to cast a majority of
the votes that may be cast in the election of directors.
