principles, in an amount not exceeding the amount of the cash dividend for
the immediately preceding period) or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right or
property;

(c) there is proposed a voluntary or involuntary dissolution or
liquidation or winding up of Parent or WGSI, as the case may be.
Section 2.17.3 Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers,
-------------------------------------------

-----------
reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the New Conversion Rights; (b) any consolidation or merger to

change in name or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, the
Common Stock; or (c) any sale or
-9-
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent or WGSI, as

conveyance, execute and deliver to the Term C Lender an agreement providing
that the Term C Lender shall have the right to convert up to $1,300,000 of
the Term C Loan Amount into the kind and amount of units and other
securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of
the New Conversion Rights immediately prior to such reclassification,

such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the securities and property
(including cash) receivable thereupon by a shareholder include securities
and property of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing
entity, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance, then such agreement shall also be executed by such other entity

adjustment of the New Conversion Price as a result of the calculations made
in this Section 2.17.4, the Term C Loan Amount shall thereafter evidence
the right to receive, at the adjusted New Conversion Price, that number of
shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth) obtained
by dividing (i) the product of the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock into which the Term C Loan Amount was convertible immediately prior
to such adjustment and the New Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment of the New Conversion Price by (ii) the New Conversion
Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the New Conversion
Price.
(b) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock In case Parent or
---------------------------------------------
WGSI, as the case may be, at any time or from time to time after the date
hereof shall issue or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (including
Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section
-------
2.17.4(d) or (e)); provided that such Additional Shares of Common Stock
--------- --- --------
shall not be deemed to have been issued unless (i) the consideration per
share (determined pursuant to Section 2.17.4(f)) for such shares would be
-----------------
less than the greater of the New Conversion Price and the Current Market
Price in effect on the date of an immediately prior to such issue, sale,
grant or assumption or immediately prior to the close of business on such
record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the
date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), as the case may be,
then, and in each such case, subject to Section 4.4(i), the New Conversion
--------------
Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue or sale, to a price
(calculated to the nearest .001 of a cent) determined by multiplying such
New Conversion Price by a fraction
-10-
(i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to such issue or sale and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock which the aggregate consideration received by Parent or
WGSI, as the case may be, for the total number of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would
purchase at the greater of such New Conversion Price and such
Current Market Price, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue
or sale, provided that, for the purposes of this Section 2.17.4,
-------- --------------
(x) immediately after any Additional Shares of Common Stock are
deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 2.17.4(d) or
-----------------
2.17.4(e), such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed
---------
to be outstanding, and (y) treasury shares of Common Stock shall
not be deemed to be outstanding.
(c) Extraordinary Dividends and Distributions In case Parent or WGSI
-----------------------------------------
as the case may be, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof
shall declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution
(including, without limitation, any distribution of other or additional
stock or other securities or property or options by way of dividend or
spin-off, reclassification, recapitalization or similar corporate
rearrangement) on Common Stock other than (a) a dividend payable in
Additional Shares of Common Stock or (b) a regularly scheduled cash
dividend, the New Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close
of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of
any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend shall be reduced,
effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price
determined by multiplying such New Conversion Price by a fraction
(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price in
effect on such record date or, if the Common Stock trades on an
ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-
dividend trading, less the Fair Value of such dividend or
distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price
(d) Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities In case Parent
-----------------------------------------------
or WGSI, as the case may be, at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof shall issue, sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record date
for the determination of holders of any class of securities of Parent or
WGSI, as the case may be, entitled to receive, any Options or Convertible
Securities (whether or not the rights thereunder are immediately
exercisable), then, and in each such case, the maximum number of Additional
Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto,
without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent
adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or,
in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be
Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue,
sale, grant or assumption or,
-11-
in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of
business on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-
dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend
trading), provided that such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be
--------
deemed to have been issued unless (i) the consideration per share
(determined pursuant to Section 2.17.4(f)) for such shares would be less
-----------------
than the greater of the New Conversion Price and the Current Market Price
in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, sale, grant
or assumption or immediately prior to the close of business on such record
date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date
prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), as the case may be, and
provided, further, that
-------- -------
(i) whether or not the Additional Shares of Common Stock
underlying such Options or Convertible Securities are deemed to
be issued, no further adjustment of the New Conversion Price
shall be made upon the subsequent issue or sale of Convertible
Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such
Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities;
(ii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase
in the consideration payable to Parent or WGSI, as the case may
be, or decrease in the number of Additional Shares of Common
Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof
(by change of rate or otherwise), the New Conversion Price
computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption
thereof (or upon the occurrence of the record date, or date prior
to the commencement of ex-dividend trading, as the case may be,
with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based
thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming
effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease
insofar as it affects such Options, or the rights of conversion
or exchange under such Convertible Securities, which are
outstanding at such time;
(iii) upon the expiration (or purchase by Parent or WGSI, as the
case may be, and cancellation or retirement) of any such Options
which shall not have been exercised or the expiration of any
rights of conversion or exchange under any such Convertible
Securities which (or purchase by Parent or WGSI, as the case may
be, and cancellation or retirement of any such Convertible
Securities the rights of conversion or exchange under which)
shall not have been exercised, the New Conversion Price computed
upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or
upon the occurrence of the record date, or date prior to the
commencement of ex-dividend trading, as the case may be, with
respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon,
shall, upon such expiration (or such cancellation or retirement,
as the case may be), be recomputed as if:
(A) in the case of Options for Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock
issued or
-12-
sold were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any,
actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options
or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities and the consideration received therefor was the
consideration actually received by Parent or WGSI, as the
case may be, for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of
all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the
consideration actually received by Parent or WGSI, as the
case may be, upon such exercise, or for the issue or sale
of all such Convertible Securities which were actually
converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration,
if any, actually received by Parent or WGSI, as the case
may be, upon such conversion or exchange, and
(B) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities,
only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued
or sold upon the exercise of such Options were issued at
the time of the issue or sale, grant or assumption of such
Options, and the consideration received by Parent or WGSI,
as the case may be, for the Additional Shares of Common
Stock deemed to have then been issued was the
consideration actually received by Parent or WGSI, as the
case may be, for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of
all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the
consideration deemed to have been received by Parent or
WGSI, as the case may be (pursuant to Section 2.17.4(f))
-----------------
upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities with
respect to which such Options were actually exercised;
(iv) no readjustment pursuant to subsection (ii) or (iii) above
shall have the effect of increasing the New Conversion Price by
an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment thereof
originally made in respect of the issue, sale, grant or
assumption of such Options or Convertible Securities; and
(v) in the case of any such Options which expire by their
terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue, sale, grant
or assumption thereof, no adjustment of the New Conversion Price
shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such
Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the manner
provided in subsection (iii) above.
(e) Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc In case Parent
-----------------------------------------------
or WGSI, as the case may be, at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof shall declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in
Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend or dividend in
shares of Common Stock), then, and in each such case, Additional Shares of
Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued (i) in the case of any
such dividend, immediately after the close of business on the record date
for the determination of holders
-13-
of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend, or (ii) in
the case of any such subdivision, at the close of business on the day
immediately prior to the day upon which such action becomes effective.
(f) Computation of Consideration For the purposes of this Section
---------------------------- -------
2.17.4,
------
(i) the consideration for the issue or sale of any Additional
Shares of Common Stock shall, irrespective of the accounting treatment
of such consideration,
(x) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the net
amount of cash received by Parent or WGSI, as the case may be,
without deducting any expenses paid or incurred by Parent or
WGSI, as the case may be, or any commissions or compensations
paid or concessions or discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers
or others performing similar services in connection with such
issue or sale,
(y) insofar as it consists of property (including securities)
other than cash, be computed at the Fair Value thereof at the
time of such issue or sale, and
(z) in case Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued or sold
together with other stock or securities or other assets of Parent
or WGSI, as the case may be, for a consideration which covers
both, be the portion of such consideration so received, computed
as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, allocable to such
Additional Shares of Common Stock, such allocation to be
determined in the same manner that the Fair Value of property not
consisting of cash or securities is to be determined as provided
in the definition of 'Fair Value' herein;
(ii) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
pursuant to Section 2.17.4, relating to Options and Convertible
--------------
Securities, shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration
per share determined by dividing
(x) the total amount, if any, received and receivable by
Parent or WGSI, as the case may be, as consideration for the
issue, sale, grant or assumption of the Options or Convertible
Securities in question, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments
relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained
therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration to
protect against dilution) payable to Parent or WGSI, as the case
may be, upon the exercise in full of such Options or the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the
case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such
Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange
of such Convertible Securities, in each case computing such
consideration as provided in the foregoing subdivision (i),
-14-
by
(y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set
forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any
provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such
number to protect against dilution) issuable upon the exercise of
such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities; and
(iii) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued pursuant to this Section, relating to stock dividends, stock
splits, etc. or to employee benefit plans, employee compensation or
incentives of Parent or WGSI, as the case may be, or any Affiliate
thereof or otherwise to employees of Parent or WGSI, as the case may
be, or any Affiliate thereof (except in a public offering open to the
public generally on the same terms as such employees) shall be deemed
to have been issued for no consideration.
(g) Adjustments for Combinations, Etc In case the outstanding shares
---------------------------------
of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or
otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the New
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination or
consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
(h) Dilution in Case of Other Securities In case any Other Securities
------------------------------------
shall be issued or sold or shall become subject to issue or sale upon the
conversion or exchange of any stock (or Other Securities) of Parent or
WGSI, as the case may be, (or any issuer of Other Securities of any other
Person) or to subscription, purchase or other acquisition pursuant to any
Options issued or granted by Parent or WGSI, as the case may be, (or any
such other issuer or Person) for a consideration such as to dilute, on a
basis consistent with the standards established in the other provisions of
this Section 2.17.4, the New Conversion Rights under this Section 2.17,
-------------- ------------
then, and in each such case, the computations, adjustments and
readjustments provided for in this Section 2.17.4 with respect to the New
--------------
Conversion Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder shall be
made as nearly as possible in the manner so provided and applied to
determine the amount of Other Securities from time to time receivable upon
the exercise of the New Conversion Rights, so as to protect the holders of
the Term C Loan Amount against the effect of such dilution.
(i) De Minimis Adjustments. If the amount of any adjustment of the
----------------------
New Conversion Price per share required pursuant to this Section 2.17.4
--------------
would be less than one tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the New
Conversion Price, such amount shall be carried forward and adjustment with
respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent
adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts
so carried forward, shall aggregate a change in the New Conversion Price of
at least one tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of such New Conversion Price.
All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest .001 of a
cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
-15-
(j) Abandoned Dividend or Distribution. If Parent or WGSI, as the
----------------------------------
case may be, shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution
(which results in an adjustment to the New Conversion Price under the terms
of this Agreement) and shall, thereafter, and before such dividend is paid
or delivered to members entitled thereto, legally abandon its plan to pay
or deliver such dividend or distribution, then any adjustment made to the
New Conversion Price and number of shares of Common Stock into which Term C
Loan Amount is convertible by reason of the taking of such record shall be
reversed, and any subsequent adjustments, based thereon, shall be
recomputed.
(k) Other Dilutive Events In case any event shall occur as to which
---------------------
the provisions of this Section hereof are not strictly applicable or if
strictly applicable would not fairly protect the conversion rights of the
holders of this Agreement in accordance with the essential intent and
principles of such Sections, then, in each such case, the Board of
Directors of Parent or WGSI, as the case may be, shall make an adjustment
in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential
intent and principles, so as to preserve, without dilution, the New
Conversion Rights in accordance with this Section 2.17.
------------
(l) No Dilution or Impairment Parent or WGSI, as the case may be,
-------------------------
shall not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any
consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Section
-------
2.17, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
-----
such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Term C Lender under this
Section 2.17 against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the
------------
generality of the foregoing, Parent or WGSI, as the case may be (i) shall
take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that
Parent and WGSI, as the case may be, may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free from all taxes, liens,
security interests, encumbrances, preemptive rights and charges on the
exercise of the New Conversion Rights, (ii) shall not take any action which
results in any adjustment of the New Conversion Price if the total number
of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable after the action
upon the exercise of the New Conversion Rights would exceed the total
number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) then authorized by
Parent's or WGSI's, as the case may be, certificate of incorporation and
available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise, (iii) shall not
permit the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon exercise of the
New Conversion Rights to exceed the amount payable therefor upon such
exercise, and (iv) shall not issue any capital stock of any class which is
preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, unless the
rights of the holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage
of par value or a sum determined by reference to a formula based on a
published index of interest rates, an interest rate publicly announced by a
financial institution or a similar indicator of interest rates in respect
of participation in dividends and to a fixed sum or percentage of par value
in any such distribution of assets.
