         exercised by  Holder, in whole or in part, by written notice of
         exercise delivered to the Company at  least twenty (20) days prior to
         the intended date of exercise and by the surrender of this Warrant at

         Company, by  certified, cashier's or other check acceptable to the
         Company, of an amount equal to the  aggregate Warrant Price of the
         shares being purchased.

         Warrant pursuant  to Section 2.1, Holder may elect to convert all or a
         portion of the outstanding principal  balance of any of the Notes into

         convert $100 of the outstanding principal balance of a Note and
         receives 50 shares of Common Stock upon such conversion, the number of
         shares of Warrant Stock subject to this Warrant shall be reduced from

         a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Common Stock with
         respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also
         be issued to Holder within such time.

         agrees that all Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of
         the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully
         paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with

         stockholders of the Company pursuant to that certain Equity Holders'
         Agreement, of even date herewith, among the Company and the Purchaser,
         among others, as the same may be amended and supplemented to and
         including the date hereof (the "Equity Holders' Agreement"), and shall
         be subject to applicable restrictions imposed by relevant federal and
         state securities laws relating to capital stock sold in a private
         placement. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the
         period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be
         exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved

         in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of a fractional
         share upon complete exercise hereof, Holder may purchase a whole share
         at the then effective Warrant Price.


                                  ARTICLE III
                        CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS OF NUMBER OF
                      SHARES PURCHASABLE AND WARRANT PRICE

         The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

3.1      Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger.  In case of: (i) any
         reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon
         exercise of this Warrant; (ii) any consolidation or merger of the
         Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with
         another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation
         and which does not result in any reclassification, change or exchange
         of outstanding securities issuable



                                      4

   5



         upon exercise of this Warrant); or (iii) any sale or transfer to
         another corporation of all, or substantially all, of the property of
         the Company, then, and in each such event, the Company or such
         successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute
         a new Warrant which will provide that Holder shall have the right to
         exercise such new Warrant and purchase upon such exercise, in lieu of
         each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this
         Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, money and property
         receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
         sale or transfer by a holder of one share of Common Stock issuable
         upon exercise of this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised
         immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation,
         merger, sale or transfer. Such new Warrant shall provide for
         adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
         to the adjustments provided in this Section 3 and the provisions of
         this Section 3.1, shall similarly apply to successive
         reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, sales and
         transfers.

3.2      Subdivision or Combination of Shares.  If the Company shall at any
         time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexercised in whole
         or in part: (i) divide its Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be
         proportionately reduced; or (ii) combine shares of is Common Stock,
         the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.

3.3      Adjustment for Issue or Sale of Shares at Less Than the Warrant Price.
         If, in a transaction other than an issuance excepted from these
         provisions as set forth below or an issuance that causes an adjustment
         under Sections 3.1 or 3.2, the Company shall at any time or from time
         to time, issue any additional shares of Common Stock without
         consideration or for a net consideration per share less than the
         Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then, and
         in each case, the Warrant Price shall be lowered to an amount equal to
         the lowest per share price received, or deemed received, by the
         Company as consideration for such Shares.

         For purposes of this Section 3.3:

                 (i)      There shall be no adjustment under this Section 3.3
                          for any sales or issuances: (a) in a transaction in
                          which an adjustment will be made pursuant to Section
                          3.1 or 3.2; or (b) pursuant to that certain
                          Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the
                          Company dated November 15, 1995 for the sale of up to
                          2,400,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a
                          price of $1.50 per share; or (c) upon the Company's
                          granting to George Wells, no later than ninety (90)
                          days after March 31, 1996 fiscal year at the
                          discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, based
                          upon satisfaction of certain incentive goals, an
                          option or options to purchase up to 150,000 shares of
                          the Company's common stock at a price of $1.50 per
                          share;




                                      5
   6





                 (ii)     The issuance of Common Stock Equivalents shall be
                          deemed an issuance  at such time of the shares of
                          Common Stock underlying the Common Stock Equivalents.
                          If the Effective Price shall be less than the Warrant
                          Price at the time of such issuance, then an
                          adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be made upon
                          each such issuance in the manner provided in this
                          Section 3.3. No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall
                          be made under this Section 3.3 upon the issuance of
                          shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or
                          conversion of Common Stock Equivalents if an
                          adjustment has previously been made as above
                          provided. Any adjustment of the Warrant Price shall
                          be disregarded, if, as and when such Common Stock
                          Equivalents expire or are cancelled without being
                          exercised so that the Warrant Price effective
                          immediately upon such cancellation or expiration
                          shall be equal to the Warrant Price in effect at the
                          time of the issuance of the expired or cancelled
                          Common Stock Equivalents, with such additional
                          adjustments as would have been made to the Warrant
                          Price had the expired or cancelled Common Stock);
                          Equivalents not been issued.

3.4      Other Action Affecting Common Stock.  (a) If the Company takes any
         action affecting its Common Stock after the date hereof (including
         dividends and distributions), other than an action described in any of
         Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof, which would have a material adverse
         effect upon Holder's rights hereunder, the Warrant Price shall be
         adjusted downward in such manner and at such time as the Board of
         Directors of the Company shall in good faith determine to be equitable
         under the circumstances.

                 (b)      In case the Company shall make any distribution of
         its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a liquidation or partial
         liquidation dividend or by ways of return of capital, or other than as
         a dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally available for
         dividends under the laws of the state of incorporation of the Company,
         and Holder exercises this Warrant within thirty (30) days after the
         later of (i) the record date for the determination of the holders of
         Common Stock entitled to such distribution of assets and (ii) the date
         upon which notice of such distribution is delivered by the Company to
         Holder, Holder shall be entitled to receive, for no additional
         consideration, in addition to the Warrant Stock, the amount of such
         assets (or, at the option of the Company. a sum equal to the value
         thereof at the time of such distribution, such value to be determined
         by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith) that would
         have been payable to the Holder had it been the holder of record of
         the Warrant Stock on such record date.

                 (c)      In case the Company shall liquidate or wind up its
         affairs, the Holder shall be entitled, upon the exercise hereof, to
         receive, in lieu of the shares of Warrant Stock; that the Holder would
         have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of assets as
         would have been issued, paid or otherwise distributed to the Holder
         upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to such
         shares of Warrant Stock, had




                                      6
   7



         the Holder been the holder of record of such shares of Warrant Stock
         on the record date for the determination of those entitled to receive
         any such distribution; provided, however, that all rights under this
         Warrant shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to
         be not earlier than the date of commencement of proceedings for
         dissolution, liquidation or winding up and not later than thirty (30)
         days after such date of commencement, unless the Holder shall have,
         prior to such termination date, exercised this Warrant.  Written
         notice of such termination of rights under this Warrant shall be given
         to the Holder at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination
         date.

3.5      Time of Adjustments to the Warrant Price.  All adjustments to the
         Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder, unless
         otherwise specified herein, shall be effective as of the earlier of:

         (i)              the date of issue (or date of sale, if earlier) of
                          the security causing the adjustment;

         (ii)             the effective date of a division or combination of
                          shares;

         (iii)            the record date of any action of holders of the
                          Company's capital stock of any class taken for the
                          purpose of dividing or combining shares or entitling
                          shareholders to receive a distribution or dividends.

3.6      Notice of Adjustments.  In each case of an adjustment in the Warrant
         Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder, the Company, at
         its expense, shall cause the Treasurer or chief financial officer of
         the Company to compute such adjustment and prepare a certificate
         setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon
         which such adjustment is based. The Company shall promptly mail a copy
         of each such certificate to Holder pursuant to Section 6.9 hereof.

3.7      Duration of Adjusted Warrant Price.  Following each adjustment of the
         Warrant Price such adjusted Warrant Price shall remain in effect until
         a further adjustment of the Warrant Price.

3.8      Adjustment of Number of Shares.  Upon each adjustment of the Warrant
         Price pursuant to this Section 3, the number of shares of Warrant
         Stock shall be adjusted to the nearest whole share, to the number
         obtained by dividing the Aggregate Price by the Warrant Price as
         adjusted.

         thereby, the aggregate purchase price of such shares, the  percentage
         stated in Section 4.1 above, and any other changes which are necessary
