No. 7-97-1                                         175,000 Shares


              PERMA-FIX ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.


        Warrant for the Purchase of Shares of Common Stock


         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Perma-Fix Environmental Services,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") hereby grants to Karl
H. Ehlert, who resides in Porto Colom (Mallorca), Spain, or any
permitted assignee (the "Holder"), the right to purchase at any
time during the period commencing the 25th day of July, 1997, and
ending at 5:00 p.m., Atlanta, Georgia time, on July 24, 2002 (the
"Exercise Period"), up to one hundred seventy-five thousand
(175,000), fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's
common stock, $.001 par value ("Common Stock"), subject to
adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided.  The purchase
price for each share of Common Stock to be issued and delivered by
the Company upon the exercise of this warrant is Two and no/100
Dollars ($2.00) per share (the "Warrant Price"), subject to
adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided.  This warrant
and all warrants of like tenor which may be issued by the Company
in exchange or substitution for or upon the transfer or partial
exercise of this warrant are collectively referred to as the
"Warrant."  The shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of
the Warrant are hereinafter collectively referred to as "Warrant
Shares."

1.  Exercise of Warrant.  This Warrant may be exercised by the
Holder, in whole or in part from time to time, during the Exercise
Period subject to the prior satisfaction of the provisions set
forth herein.  This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder
delivering to the Company this Warrant and the duly executed
subscription in the form set forth at the end hereof, with such
subscription and Warrant being accompanied by the payment to the
Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Price in effect at the
date of such exercise multiplied by the total number of Warrant
Shares to be purchased upon such exercise ("Total Warrant Price"). 
Payment by the Holder of the Total Warrant Price will be made by a
cashier's or certified check or money order to the order of the
Company.  If this Warrant is exercised in part, such exercise must


be for a whole number of Warrant Shares and the Holder will be
entitled to receive a new Warrant covering the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant has not been exercised.  Upon any
exercise and surrender of this Warrant, the Company will (a) issue
and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates in the name
of the Holder for the largest whole number of Warrant Shares to
which the Holder has purchased under this Warrant pursuant to the
terms hereof; (b) in lieu of any fractional Warrant Share, deliver
to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such
fractional share (calculated in such reasonable manner as the Board
of Directors of the Company shall determine), and (c) deliver to
the Holder such other securities and properties which the Holder
may be entitled to receive upon such exercise, or the proportionate
part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the
provisions of this Warrant.

2.  Reservation of Warrant Shares.  At all times prior to the
expiration of this Warrant the Company will have authorized and
maintain in reserve solely for issuance upon the exercise of the
Warrant the number of shares Common Stock and the amount of other
securities and properties as from time to time are deliverable upon
the exercise of this Warrant.  Such authorized and reserved shares
of Common Stock will be free and clear of all restrictions on sale
or transfer (except as otherwise provided by this Warrant or as may
be imposed under applicable federal and state securities laws or
the applicable exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed)
and free and clear of all preemptive rights.

3.  Protection Against Dilution.  

    3.1  Distribution Without Payment Therefor.  If at any time
         or from time to time after the date of this Warrant,
         the Company distributes pro rata to all of the holders
         of its then outstanding Common Stock securities or
         property, other than cash, without payment therefor,
         then in each such case the Holder will be entitled to
         receive upon exercise of this Warrant the securities
         and property which the Holder would hold on the date of
         such exercise if, on the record date for such
         distribution, the Holder had exercised this Warrant and
         had been the holder of record of the number of shares
         of the Common Stock subscribed for upon such exercise
         and, during the period from the date of this Warrant to
         and including the date of such exercise, had retained
         such shares and the securities and properties
         receivable by the Holder during such period.  Notice of
         each such distribution will be mailed promptly to the
         Holder.

    3.2  Dividend, Division or Combination.  If at any time or
         from time to time after the date of this Warrant, the

                                    2

         Company (a) pays a dividend on its Common Stock in
         shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivides its outstanding
         shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares,
         (c) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock
         into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issues by
         reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of any
         other class of capital stock of the Company, the number
         of Warrant Shares and the Warrant Price in effect
         immediately prior to such event will be adjusted so
         that, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall
         be entitled to purchase under this Warrant, without
         additional consideration, the number of shares of
         Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company
         which the Holder would have owned or been entitled to
         purchase immediately following the happening of any of
         the events described above in this paragraph 3.2 had
         this Warrant been exercised and the Holder become the
         holder of record of the Warrant Shares purchased upon
         such exercise immediately prior to the record date
         fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
         receive such dividend on the effective date of such
         subdivision, combination or reclassification at a
         Warrant Price equal to the aggregate consideration
         which the Holder would have had to pay for such Warrant
         Shares immediately prior to such event divided by the
         number of Warrant Shares the Holder is entitled to
         receive immediately after such event.  An adjustment
         made pursuant to this paragraph 3.2 will become
         effective immediately after the record date in the case
         of a dividend and will become effective immediately
         after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
         combination or reclassification.  If as a result of an
         adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 3.2, the
         Holder becomes entitled to receive shares of two or
         more classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock
         and any other class of capital stock of the Company,
         the Board of Directors (whose determination will be
         conclusive and will be described in a written notice to
         the Holder promptly after such adjustment) will
         determine the allocation of the adjusted Warrant Price
         between or among shares of such classes of capital
         stock or shares of Common Stock and such other class of
         capital stock.

    3.3  Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  In case of any
         consolidation or merger of the Company in which the
         Company is not the surviving entity, or in case of any
         sale or conveyance by the Company to another entity of
         all or substantially all of the property of the Company
         as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the
         Holder will have the right thereafter, upon exercise of

                                  3

         this Warrant, to receive the kind and amount of
         securities, cash or other property which the Holder
         would have owned or been entitled to receive immedi-
         ately after such consolidation, merger, sale or
         conveyance had this Warrant been exercised in full
         immediately prior to the effective date of such
         consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.  If
         necessary, appropriate adjustment will be made in the
         application of the provisions of paragraph 3 with
         respect to the rights and interests of the Holder so
         that the provisions of paragraph 3 following such event
         will be correspondingly applicable, as nearly as may
         reasonably be, to such securities and other property. 
         The provisions of this paragraph 3.3 will apply to
         successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
         conveyances.  Notice of any such consolidation, merger,
         sale or conveyance, and of said provisions so proposed
         to be made, will be mailed to the Holder not less than
         twenty (20) days prior to such event.  A sale of all or
         substantially all of the assets of the Company for a
         consideration consisting primarily of securities will
         be deemed a consolidation or merger for the purposes of
         this paragraph 3.3.

    3.4  Adjustments.  The Warrant Price will not be adjusted
         unless such adjustment would require an increase or
         decrease of at least $0.10.  Any adjustments which are
         not required to be made pursuant to the foregoing
         sentence will be carried forward and taken into account
         in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations under
         paragraph 3 will be made to the nearest cent or to the
         nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. 
         Anything in paragraph 3 to the contrary notwith-
         standing, the Company will be entitled to make such
         reductions in the Warrant Price, in addition to those
         required by paragraph 3, as the Company deems to be
         advisable so that any stock dividend, subdivision of
         shares or distribution of rights to purchase stock or
         securities convertible or exchangeable for stock
         hereafter made by the Company to its shareholders will
         not be taxable.

    3.5  Certification of Adjustment.  Whenever the Warrant
         Price is adjusted as provided in paragraph 3 and upon
         any modification of the rights of the Holder in
         accordance with paragraph 3, the Chief Financial
         Officer of the Company will certify promptly the
         Warrant Price, the number of Warrant Shares after such
         adjustment or modification, a brief statement of the
         facts requiring such adjustment or modification and the

                                  4

         manner of computing the same, and will cause such
         certificate to be delivered to the Holder.

4.  Fully Paid Shares; Taxes.  The shares of the Common Stock
represented by each certificate for Warrant Shares delivered upon
the exercise of this Warrant will, at the time of such delivery, be
validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and
not subject to preemptive rights.  The Company will take all such
actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value or stated
value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal
to or less than the Warrant Price.  The Company will pay, when due
and payable, any and all federal and state stamp, original issue or
similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issuance of
any Warrant Share or certificate therefor.

5.  Piggyback Right.  Subject to the terms of this paragraph 5, if
at any time during the Exercise Period the Company proposes to
register shares of Common Stock for public sale in a firm
commitment underwriting for its own account under a Form S-1, Form
S-2 or Form S-3 registration statement filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), the Company will give
the Holder notice of such proposed registration at least twenty
(20) calendar days prior to the filing of a registration statement. 
At the written request of the Holder delivered to the Company
within seven (7) calendar days after the receipt of the notice from
the Company, which request will state the Holder's intent to sell
all of the Warrant Shares then owned by the Holder, the Company
will use its reasonable efforts to register such Warrant Shares
under the same registration statement otherwise being filed by the
Company.  The Company will use reasonable efforts to cause such
registration to become and remain effective so long as the Company
keeps such registration effective as to such other Common Stock
being sold for the account of the Company.    All Warrant Shares
registered pursuant to this paragraph 5 must be offered for sale in
the public offering by the same underwriter or underwriters that
are offering the other shares of the Common Stock being registered. 
The Company may withdraw the registration statement at any time
before it becomes effective or postpone the offering without
obligation to or the consent of the Holder.

    5.1  Shares Includible.  The Company will not be required to
         include any of the Warrant Shares in any such regis-
         tration statement unless the Holder accepts the terms
         of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company
         and the managing underwriter or underwriters, and then
         only in such quantity as will not, in the opinion of
         the managing underwriters, jeopardize the success of
         the offering by the Company.  If the total amount of
         Warrant Shares requested to be included in the regis-
         tration statement by the Holder and other shareholders
         of the Company that request the inclusion of securities

                                  5

         of the Company in such registration statement (the
         "Other Shareholders") exceeds the amount of securities
         that the managing underwriters reasonably believe
         compatible with the success of the offering, the
         Company will be required to include only so many of the
         Warrant Shares held by the Holder and other securities
         of the Company held by the Other Shareholders as the
         managing underwriters believe will not jeopardize the
         success of the offering. In such event, the Warrant
         Shares and other securities of the Company held by the
         other Shareholders to be included will be apportioned
         pro rata among the Holder and the Other Shareholders
         according to the amounts of Warrant Shares and other
         securities of the Company held by the Other Share-
         holders so requested to be included in the registration
         statement or in such other proportions as mutually
         agreed by the Holder and the Other Shareholders. No
         reduction will be made with respect to the securities
         offered by the Company or any shareholders whose shares
         are included in such registration statement other than
         pursuant to piggyback registration rights.
                  
    5.2  Expiration of Right.  The right to participate in a
         registration with the Company pursuant to paragraph 5
         will be exercisable by the Holder only on one (1)
         occasion.  The Holder's rights under this paragraph 5
         will expire and terminate at the earlier of (a) the
         date the Holder receives from counsel for the Company
         a written opinion of such counsel that the Holder has
         the right, pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
         Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), to sell
         as of the date of such opinion, any portion of the
         Warrant Shares then held and/or purchasable upon the
         exercise of this Warrant by the Holder or (b) upon a
         registration statement being declared effective by the
         Commission in which the Company has included at least
         fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant Shares within the
         coverage of such registration statement.

    5.3  Actions by Company.  Whenever the Company includes
         Warrant Shares in a registration statement, the Company
         will (a) furnish the Holder of Warrant Shares included
         in such registration statement and each underwriter of
         such Warrant Shares the number of copies of a current
         prospectus, including the preliminary prospectus,
         conforming to the requirements of Section 10 of the Act
         (and such other documents as each such Holder or each
         such underwriter may reasonably request), as such
         Holder(s) and underwriter(s) may reasonably require in
         order to effectuate the offer and sale of the Warrant
         Shares included in such registration statement; (b) use

                                6

         its reasonable efforts to register or qualify such
         Warrant Shares under the blue sky laws (to the extent
         applicable) of such jurisdiction or jurisdictions which
         the Company deems appropriate or necessary; provided,
         however, that the Company will not be obligated to
         register or qualify any Warrant Shares under those
         "blue sky" securities laws which the Company deems are
         unduly burdensome in connection with such registration
         or qualification of Warrant Shares in such state; and
         (c) take such other actions as may be reasonably
         necessary or advisable to enable such Holder(s) and
         such underwriters to consummate the sale or
         distribution in such jurisdiction or jurisdictions in
         which such Holder(s) reasonably requests that the
         Warrant Shares be sold; provided, however, that the
         Company will not be required to qualify as a foreign
         corporation or broker-dealer in any jurisdiction or to
         file a consent to service of process in any
         jurisdiction in any action other than one arising out
         of the offering or sale of the Warrant Shares.

    5.4  Payment of Expenses.  The Company will pay all expenses
         incurred in connection with any registration of the
         offer and sale of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the
         provisions paragraph 5 of this Agreement, except the
         Holder will pay (a) all underwriting discounts and
         concessions, brokerage commissions, applicable
         insurance and transfer taxes relating to the sale of
         the Warrant Shares, and (b) all fees and expenses
         incurred by counsel for the Holder in connection with
         such registration.

6.  Indemnification.  If the Company includes any Warrant Shares
in a registration statement filed by the Company with the
Commission, the Company and the Holder agree as follows:

    6.1  By the Company.  Except provided in paragraph 6.1.2,
         the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder
         and each other entity or person, if any, controlling
         the Holder (a "Controlling Person") within the meaning
         of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange
         Act"), against any Stockholder Liability (as defined
         below) to which the Holder or the Controlling Party
         becomes subject under the Act.

         6.1.1     Stockholder Liability.  As used in this
                   paragraph 6.1 and subject to paragraph 6.1.2
                   below, the term "Stockholder Liability" means
                   any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
                   under the Act with respect to the registration

                                  7

                   statement, including any preliminary
                   prospectus or final prospectus and any
                   amendments or supplements thereto, arising out
                   of or based upon (a) any untrue or alleged
                   untrue statement of material fact contained
                   therein or (b) the omission or alleged
                   omission to state therein a material fact
                   required to be stated therein, or necessary to
                   make the statements therein not misleading.
         
         6.1.2     Exception to Indemnity.  The indemnity
                   agreement contained in paragraph 6.1 will not
                   apply to (a) amounts paid in settlement of any
                   Stockholder Liability if such settlement is
                   effected without the consent of the Company,
                   which consent will not be unreasonably
                   withheld or (b) any Stockholder Liability to
                   the extent that the Stockholder Liability
                   arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue
                   statement or alleged untrue statement or
                   omission or alleged omission made in
                   connection with the registration statement,
                   preliminary or final prospectus, or amendments
                   or supplements thereto, in reliance upon, and
                   in conformity with, written information
                   furnished to the Company for use in connection
                   with the registration statement by the Holder
                   or Controlling Party.

    6.2  By the Holder.  Except as otherwise provided in
         paragraph 6.2.2, the Holder will indemnify and hold
         harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of
         its officers who have signed the registration statement
         that includes Warrant Shares, each person, if any, who
         controls the Company within the meaning of the Act or
         the Exchange Act, and each agent and underwriter for
         the Company against any Company Liability (as defined
         below) to which the Company or any such director,
         officer, Controlling Person, agent or underwriter may
         become subject under the Act.

         6.2.1     Company Liability.  As used in this paragraph
                   6.2 and subject to paragraph 6.2.2 below, the
                   term "Company Liability" means any losses,
                   claims, damages or liabilities with respect to
                   the registration statement, including any
                   preliminary or final prospectus and any
                   amendments or supplements thereto, arising out
                   of or based upon (a) any untrue statement or
                   alleged untrue statement of a material fact
                   contained therein; or (b) the omission or

                                   8

                   alleged omission to state therein a material
                   fact required to be stated therein or
                   necessary to make the statements therein not
                   misleading, in each case to the extent, but
                   only to the extent, that such untrue statement
                   or omission or alleged untrue statement or
                   omission was made in reliance upon, and in
                   conformity with, written information furnished
                   by, or on behalf of, the Holder for use in
                   connection with such registration statement.

         6.2.2     Exception to Indemnity.  The indemnity
                   agreement contained in this paragraph 6.2 will
                   not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
                   Company Liability if such settlement is
                   effected without the consent of the Holder,
                   which consent will not be unreasonably
                   withheld.  The indemnification obligation of
                   the Holder will be limited to an amount equal
                   to the proceeds to the Holder of the Warrant
                   Shares sold pursuant to the registration
                   statement.
              
7.  Indemnification Procedure.  Upon receipt of notice of the
commencement of any action, a person (an "Indemnified Party")
entitled to indemnification pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Warrant
will notify in writing the indemnifying party if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under
paragraph 6.  The failure to notify promptly the indemnifying party
will relieve the indemnifying party from any liability to the
Indemnified Party under paragraph 6.
         
    7.1  Defense by Indemnifying Party.  If any action is
         brought against an Indemnified Party and the
         Indemnified Party notifies the indemnifying party of
         the commencement of such action, the indemnifying party
         will have the option to assume all or any part of the
         defense of such action, either alone or jointly with
         any other indemnifying party.  If the indemnifying
         party assumes all or any part of such defense, the
         indemnifying party's counsel will be reasonably
         satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  After notice
         from the indemnifying party to the Indemnified Party of
         its election to assume the defense of such action, the
         indemnifying party will not be liable to the
         Indemnified Party under paragraph 6 for any legal or
         other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified
         Party in connection with the defense of such action,
         except as provided in paragraph 7.2.

                                  9

    7.2  Expenses; Conflict.  The Indemnified Party will have
         the right to participate in the defense of, and to
         employ separate counsel in, any action in which the
         indemnifying party assumes the defense.  The fees and
         expenses of such counsel will be paid by the
         Indemnified Party, except that the indemnifying party
         will pay such reasonable fees and expenses of such
         counsel if, subject to the limitations contained in
         paragraph 7.3 below: (a) the employment of such counsel
         has been specifically authorized in writing by the
         indemnifying party and the indemnifying party has
         agreed, in writing, to pay such fees and expenses, or
         (b) an Indemnified Party or parties and the
         indemnifying party are the named parties to any such
         action (including any impleaded parties) and (i) the
         Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel for the
         indemnifying party that there are defenses available to
         the Indemnified Party that the indemnifying party or
         its counsel refuses to accept or (ii) counsel for the
         indemnifying party reasonably determines that there may
         be a conflict between the position of the indemnifying
         party and the Indemnified Party in conducting the
         defense of such action.  In the event of (b) above,
         counsel for the Indemnified Party (at the indemnifying
         party's expense) will be entitled to conduct only that
         part of the Indemnified Party's or parties' defense
         that counsel for the indemnifying party declines to, or
         cannot, conduct because of the foregoing reasons.  

    7.3  Counsel for Indemnifying Parties.  The indemnifying
         party or parties will not, in connection with any one
         such action or separate, but substantially similar or
         related actions in the same jurisdiction and arising
         out of the same general allegations or circumstances,
         be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more
         than one separate firm of attorneys for all such
         Indemnified Party or parties.
    
8.  Representations; Investment Intent; Transferability.  By
acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder represents and warrants 
that (a) no public distribution of this Warrant or the  Warrant
Shares will be made in violation of the provisions of the Act, and
(b) during such period as delivery of a prospectus with respect to
this Warrant or the Warrant Shares may be required by the Act, no
public distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares will be
made in a manner or on terms different from those set forth in, or
without delivery of, a prospectus then meeting the requirements of
Section 10 of the Act and in compliance with all applicable state
securities laws.  The Holder further agrees that if any
distribution of this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares is
proposed to be made otherwise than by delivery of a prospectus

                               10

meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act, such action will
be taken only after receipt by the Company of an opinion of its
counsel, to the effect that the proposed distribution will not be
in violation of the Act or of applicable state law.  Furthermore,
as a condition to the transfer of this Warrant, any transferee of
this Warrant will deliver to the Company the transferee's written
agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and conditions
contained in this Warrant.

    8.1  Investment Intent; Legend. By acceptance of this
         Warrant, the Holder represents and warrants that this
         Warrant is being acquired, and all Warrant Shares to be
         purchased upon the exercise of this Warrant will be
         acquired, by the Holder solely for the account of the
         Holder and not with a view to the fractionalization and
         distribution thereof, and will not be sold or
         transferred except in accordance with the applicable
         provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations
         promulgated thereunder.  The Holder represents and
         warrants that neither this Warrant nor any of the
         Warrant Shares may be sold or transferred except under
         cover of a registration statement under the Act which
         is effective and current with respect to such Warrant
         Shares or pursuant to an opinion of counsel reasonably
         satisfactory to the Company that registration under the
         Act is not required in connection with such sale or
         transfer.  Any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of
         this Warrant will bear a legend to the following
         effect:

           The securities represented by this certificate
           have not been registered under the Securities
           Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or
           qualified under applicable state securities
           laws, and are restricted securities within the
           meaning of the Act.  Such securities may not be
           sold or transferred, except pursuant to a
           registration statement under such Act and
           qualification under applicable state securities
           laws which are effective and current with
           respect to such securities or pursuant to an
           opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to
           the issuer of such securities that registration
           and qualification are not required under
           applicable federal or state securities laws or
           an exemption is available therefrom.

    8.2  Restriction on Transfer Under the Act.  The Holder
         understands that under the Act, this Warrant and the
         Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless they
         are subsequently registered under the Act or unless an

                              11

         exemption from such registration is available with
         respect to any proposed transfer or disposition of the
         Warrant or the Warrant Shares.  The Holder agrees that
         the Company may refuse to permit the sale, transfer or
         disposition of this Warrant or any of the Warrant
         Shares unless there is in effect a registration
         statement under the Act and any applicable state
         securities law covering such transfer or the Holder
         furnishes an opinion of counsel, reasonably
         satisfactory to counsel for the Company, to the effect
         that such registration is not required.
    
9.  Nasdaq; Boston Stock Exchange.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, this Warrant may not be exercised by the
Holder until the Company has listed the Warrant Shares with the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
system ("Nasdaq") and the Boston Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"). 
The Company will use reasonable efforts to list the Warrant Shares
with the Nasdaq and the Exchange.

10. Loss, etc., of Warrant.  Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant if mutilated, and upon reimbursement
of the Company's reasonable incidental expenses, the Company will
execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor
and denomination.

11. Warrant Holder Not Shareholder.  Prior to the exercise of this
Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof, this Warrant will not confer
upon the Holder (a) any right to vote the Warrant Shares or to
consent to or receive notice as a shareholder of the Company with
respect to any matters whatsoever or (b) any other rights or
liabilities as a shareholder.

12. Notices.  Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests, demands and other communications required or desired to
be given hereunder will only be effective if given in writing, by
hand or fax, by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, or by U. S. Express Mail service, or by
private overnight mail service (e.g., Federal Express).  Any such
notice will be deemed to have been given (a) on the business day
actually received if given by hand or by fax, (b) on the business
day immediately subsequent to mailing, if sent by U.S. Express Mail
service or private overnight mail service, or (c) five (5) business
days following the mailing thereof, if mailed by certified or
registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and all
such notices will be sent to the following addresses (or to such
other address or addresses as a party may have advised the other in
the manner provided in this paragraph to:
