                                                    ARTICLE III
                                   EXERCISE PRICE; EXERCISE OF WARRANTS GENERALLY

          Section 3.01. EXERCISE PRICE. The Holder of each Warrant Certificate,  subject to the provisions of this
 Agreement,  is entitled to purchase one share of Common Stock for each Warrant represented thereby at an exercise
 price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in Article IV hereof (the "Exercise Price").

          Section 3.02.  EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Warrants
 to purchase  621,576 shares of Common Stock are not  immediately  exercisable,  but will become  exercisable,  if
 ever, in four tranches in the following manner:
(a)      Warrants to purchase 155,394 shares of Common Stock become
 immediately exercisable on the first Borrowing Date;
(b)      Warrants to purchase an additional 155,394 shares of Common Stock
 become immediately exercisable on the date on which Midland has drawn an aggregate of at
 least $22,500,000 against the Facility;
(c)      Warrants to purchase an additional 155,394 shares of Common Stock
 become immediately exercisable on the date on which Midland has drawn an aggregate of at
 least $45,000,000 against the Facility; and
(d)      Warrants to purchase an additional 155,394 shares of Common Stock
 become immediately exercisable on the date on which Midland has drawn an aggregate of at

          Section 3.03.  EXPIRATION OF WARRANTS.  The Warrants shall  terminate and become void as of the close of
 business on the Expiration Date.

          Section 3.04.   METHOD OF EXERCISE.

                   (a)  To  exercise  a  Warrant,  the  Holder  thereof  must  surrender  the  Warrant  Certificate
 evidencing  such Warrant to the Company,  with a duly  executed  Form of Election to Purchase,  a form of which is
 attached  hereto,  and pay the Exercise  Price for each share of Underlying  Common Stock as to which Warrants are
 then being  exercised  in full to the Company (i) by wire  transfer of  immediately  available  funds,  or (ii) by
 certified or official  bank check,  or (iii) by any  combination  of the  foregoing.  A Holder may  exercise  such
 Warrant  for the number of shares of  Underlying  Common  Stock  issuable  upon  exercise  thereof as set forth in
 Section 3.02, or any lesser number of whole shares of Underlying  Common Stock. In the alternative,  the Holder of
 a Warrant  Certificate  may  exercise its right to purchase  all or a portion of the shares of  Underlying  Common
 Stock subject to such Warrant Certificate, on a net basis,






                                                         5






 such that,  without  the  exchange  of any funds,  such  Holder  receives  that  number of shares of Common  Stock
 subscribed  to  pursuant  to such  Warrant  Certificate  less that  number of  shares  of Common  Stock  having an
 aggregate  Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the aggregate  Exercise  Price that would  otherwise
 have been  paid by such  Holder  for the  number of shares of  Common  Stock or  fraction  thereof  subscribed  to
 pursuant to such Warrant Certificate (hereinafter, a "Net Cashless Exercise").
(b)      Not later than the fifth Business Day following the later of (i) surrender of
 any of the Warrant Certificates in conformity with the foregoing provisions, or (ii) payment by
 the Holder of the full Exercise Price for the shares of Underlying Common Stock as to which
 such Warrants are then being exercised, the Company shall transfer to the Holder of such
 Warrant Certificate appropriate evidence of ownership of any shares of Underlying Common
 Stock or other securities or property (including any money) to which the Holder is entitled,
 registered or otherwise placed in, or payable to the order of, such name or names as may be
 directed in writing by the Holder, and shall deliver such evidence of ownership and any other
 securities or property (including any money) to the person or persons entitled to receive the
 same, together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section
 4.04. If such Warrant Certificate is not exercised in full, the Company will issue to the Holder a
 new Warrant Certificate exercisable for the number of shares of Underlying Common Stock as to
 which such Warrant has not been exercised. Underlying Common Stock issued upon exercise of
 a Warrant in the name of any person other than the registered holder of the Warrant shall be
 subject to Sections 5.03 and 5.04 of this Agreement.
(c)      Each person in whose name any certificate representing shares of
 Underlying Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder
 of record of such shares of Underlying Common Stock on the date on which the Warrant
 Certificate was surrendered to the Company and payment of the Exercise Price therefor was
 received by the Company, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate representing
 shares of Underlying Common Stock.

          Section 3.05.  CANCELLATION OF WARRANTS.  The Company shall cancel any Warrant Certificate  delivered to
 it for exercise, in whole or in part, or delivered to it for transfer,  exchange or substitution,  and no Warrant
 Certificates  shall be issued in lieu thereof  except as expressly  permitted  by any of the  provisions  of this
 Agreement.  The Company  shall destroy  canceled  Warrant  Certificates.  If the Company shall acquire any of the
 Warrants,  such  acquisition  shall not operate as a redemption or termination  of the right  represented by such
 Warrants  unless and until the Warrant  Certificates  evidencing such Warrants are surrendered to the Company for
 cancellation.

                                                    ARTICLE IV
                                                   ADJUSTMENTS

          Section  4.01.  ADJUSTMENTS.  The Exercise  Price and the number of shares of Common Stock  issuable upon
 exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:






                                                         6






(a)      Stock Dividends; Stock Splits; Reverse Stock Splits; Reclassifications.  In
 the event that the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution with respect to
 its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock,
 (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any
 shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such
 reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or other business combination in
 which the Company is the continuing corporation), then immediately prior to the record date for
 such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such subdivision or combination, the
 Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each
 Warrant shall be adjusted so that the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
 receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that
 such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the
 events described above had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of
 such event or any record date with respect thereto, at an Exercise Price at which the Holder
 would pay, in the aggregate, for the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock, the same
 amount the Holder would have had to pay prior to the adjustment for the unadjusted number of
 shares of Common Stock.  An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.01 (a) shall become
 effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any,
 for such event,
(b)      Issuance of Common Stock, Rights, Options or Warrants at Lower Values.

                   (i) In the event  that the  Company  shall  issue or sell  shares of Common  Stock,  or  rights,
 options,  warrants or other securities  convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or containing the
 right to subscribe for or purchase  shares of Common Stock,  at a price per share of Common Stock  (determined  in
 the case of such rights, options,  warrants or convertible or exchangeable  securities,  by dividing (x) the total
 amount of  Consideration  receivable  by the Company in respect of the issuance and sale of such rights,  options,
 warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities,  plus the total Consideration,  if any, payable to the Company
 upon exercise,  conversion or exchange thereof,  by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock covered by such
 rights,  options,  warrants or convertible  or  exchangeable  securities)  that is lower than the then Fair Market
 Value per share of the Common Stock immediately  prior to such sale or issuance,  then the Exercise Price shall be
 adjusted  immediately  thereafter by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect  immediately  prior to such issuance
 or sale by a fraction, of which:
(1)      the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
         outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale plus the number of additional
         shares of Common Stock the aggregate Consideration receivable by or payable to the
         Company as described in 4.01(b)(i) above would purchase at the Fair Market Value per
         share on the date of such issuance or sale; and
(2)      the denominator shall  be the number of shares Common Stock
         outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale plus the number of additional
         shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (including, in the case of
         rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, the total number of






                                                         7






         shares of Common Stock covered by such rights, options, warrants or convertible or
         exchangeable securities).

                  (ii) Upon an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to 4.01(b)(i) above,
each  Warrant  shall then be  exercisable  for that  number of shares of Common  Stock  (calculated  to the nearest
hundredth of a share) equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock  purchasable  immediately  prior
to such  adjustment  multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect  immediately  prior to such adjustment and dividing
that product by the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

                  (iii) In the event  that the  Company  shall  issue or sell  shares of  Common  Stock or  rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to
subscribe for or purchase  shares of Common Stock,  for  consideration  consisting in whole or in part, of property
other  than  cash  or its  equivalent,  then  in  determining  the  "price  per  share  of  Common  Stock"  and the
"Consideration"  receivable  by or payable to the  Company  for  purposes  of this  Section  4.01,  the Board shall
determine,  in good faith,  the fair value of such  property.  In the event that the  Company  shall issue and sell
rights,  options,  warrants or  convertible  or  exchangeable  securities  containing the right to subscribe for or
purchase  shares of Common  Stock,  together  with one or more  other  securities  as part of a unit at a price per
unit, then to determine the "price per share of Common Stock" and the  "Consideration"  receivable by or payable to
the Company for purposes of this  Section 4.0 1, the Board shall  determine,  in good faith,  the fair value of the
rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities then being sold as part of such unit.

                  (iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this
Section 4.01(b) shall not apply to any of the following:

(A)        the grant or issuance of restricted  stock,  options or other similar rights issued pursuant to employee
                      stock option plans,  directors  stock option plans or similar plans  providing for options or
                      other  similar  rights to purchase  Common Stock  covering in the  aggregate not in excess of
                      20% of the  fully-diluted  shares of Common Stock issued and  outstanding  from time to time,
                      or the issuance of shares upon exercise of any such options or other similar rights;

                  (B) the issuance of shares upon the exercise of options,  warrants,  convertible or  exchangeable
securities,  or similar  securities that are convertible into Common Stock in accordance with their terms, that are
issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement;

                  (C) the issuance of any additional Warrants under this Agreement;

                  (D) the issuance of any Rights;

                  (E) the  issuance  of shares of capital  stock  pursuant  to any stock  dividend,  stock split or
other distribution in respect of outstanding shares; and

                   (F) the issuance of Common Stock or  securities  convertible  into Common Stock  pursuant to an
 underwritten  offering (including,  without limitation,  any such securities issued pursuant to the underwriters'
 overallotment option).
(c)      Issuance of Rights.   In the event that the Company shall distribute any
 Rights prior to the exercise or expiration of the Warrants, the Company shall make proper
 provision so that each Holder who exercises a Warrant after the record date for such distribution
 and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such
 exercise, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, a number of
 Rights determined as follows: (A)  if such exercise occurs on or prior to the date fixed for the
 distribution to the holders of Rights of separate securities evidencing such Rights, the same
 number of Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number
 of shares of Underlying Common Stock issuable upon such exercise would have been entitled at
 the time of such exercise in accordance with the terms and provisions applicable to the Rights,
 and (B) if such exercise occurs after such distribution date, the same number of Rights to which a
 holder of the number of shares of Underlying Common Stock into which the Warrant so
 exercised was exercisable immediately prior to such distribution date would have been entitled
 on the distribution date in accordance with the terms and provisions applicable to the Rights.
(d)      Expiration  Of Rights, Options and Conversion Privileges.  Upon the
 expiration of any rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange privileges that have
 previously resulted in an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.01(b), if any thereof shall not have
 been exercised, the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
 exercise of each Warrant, upon such expiration, will be readjusted and shall thereafter, upon any
 future exercise, be such as they would have been had they been originally adjusted (or had the
 original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) as if (i) the only shares of Common
 Stock so issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the
 exercise of such rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange rights and (ii) such shares of
 Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the Consideration actually received by the
 Company upon such exercise plus the Consideration, if any, actually received by the Company
 for issuance, sale or grant of all such rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange rights
 whether or not exercised.
(e)      De Minimis Adjustments.    No adjustment in the number of shares of
 Common Stock issuable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
 increase or decrease of at least one percent in the number of shares of Common Stock
 purchasable upon an exercise of each Warrant; provided, however, that any adjustments which
 by reason of this Section 4.01(e) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
 into account in any subsequent adjustment.   All calculations shall be made to the nearest one-
 tenth of a share.

          Section 4.02. DETERMINATION OF ADJUSTMENT.  Whenever there is an adjustment to the Exercise Price or the
 number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant,  as herein  provided,  a certificate
 of an officer of the Company  setting  forth the number of shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon the exercise of
 each Warrant, and the
 adjusted Exercise Price, if applicable, after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the
 facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was




                                                         9







 made (in reasonable detail),  shall,  absent  demonstrable error, be conclusive evidence of such adjustment.  The
 Company  shall be entitled to rely on such for the  provisions  of this Section 4.04, be issuable on the exercise
 of any Warrant (or specified  portion  thereof),  the Company shall pay an amount in cash  calculated by it to be
 equal to the  certificate  and shall  exhibit  the same from time to time to any Holder  desiring  an  inspection
 thereof during normal business hours.

          Section 4.03. STATEMENT ON WARRANTS.  Irrespective of any adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number
 or kind of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants,  certificates  evidencing  Warrants  theretofore or
 thereafter  issued  may  continue  to  express  the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the
 Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

          Section  4.04.  FRACTIONAL  INTEREST.  The Company shall not be required to issue  fractional  shares of
 Common  Stock on the exercise of Warrants.  If more than one Warrant  shall be presented  for exercise in full at
 the same time by the same  Holder,  the number of full shares of Common  Stock which shall be issuable  upon such
 exercise  thereof  shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate  number of shares of Common Stock  issuable on
 exercise of the Warrants so presented.  If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except then Fair Market
 Value per share of Common Stock multiplied by such fraction computed to the nearest whole cent.

                                              ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

          Section 5.01.   WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS.
(a)      The Warrant Certificates shall be issued in registered form only.    The
 Company shall keep at its executive office a register in which, subject to such reasonable
 regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Warrant
 Certificates and of transfers or exchanges of Warrant Certificates as herein provided.
(b)      Every Warrant Certificate surrendered  for registration of transfer or
 exchange shall (if so required by the Company) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a
 written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder
 thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

          Section  5.02.  NO  STOCKHOLDER  RIGHTS.  Prior to the exercise of the  Warrants,  no holder of a Warrant
Certificate,  as such,  shall be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of Common  Stock or any other  securities
of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise  hereof,  nor shall anything  contained  herein be
construed to confer upon any holder of a Warrant  Certificate,  as such, the rights of a stockholder of the Company
or the right to vote for the  election of directors or upon any matter  submitted  to  stockholders  at any meeting
thereof,  or to give or withhold  consent to any corporate  action,  to exercise any preemptive  right,  to receive
notice of  meetings or other  actions  affecting  stockholders  (except as  specifically  provided  herein),  or to
receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise.

          Section 5.03.  RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.  The Holder of any Warrant Certificate,  by acceptance thereof,
 acknowledges  and agrees that without  limitation  of the  obligations  set forth in Section  5.07, it shall be a
 condition  precedent  to any  transfer of the Warrant that each  proposed  transferee  execute and deliver to the
 Company the documentation required by such Section 5.07.

          Section 5.04. NO  REGISTRATION  OF WARRANTS OR UNDERLYING  COMMON STOCK UNDER  SECURITIES  LAWS;  OTHER
 REGULATORY FILINGS.
(a)      Neither the Warrants nor the Underlying Common Stock have been
 registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
(b)      The Holder of any Warrant Certificate, by acceptance thereof, represents
 that it is acquiring the Warrants to be issued to it for its own account and not with a view to the
 distribution thereof, and agrees not to sell, transfer, pledge or hypothecate any Warrants or any
 Underlying Common Stock unless (i) such transfer is made in connection with an effective
 registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or
 (ii) such transaction is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the rules
 and regulations in effect thereunder and any applicable state securities laws and, if requested by
 the Company, the Holder thereof has furnished the Company a satisfactory opinion of counsel
 for such Holder to such effect.
(c)      Each Holder of Warrants also hereby acknowledges that any exercise of
 the Warrants may be subject to the filing requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
 Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and agrees to make any such required filings prior to
 any such exercise.

          Section  5.05.  RESERVATION  OF COMMON STOCK FOR ISSUANCE ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.  The Company shall at
 all times reserve and keep available,  out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
 issue upon  exercise  of  Warrants as herein  provided,  such  number of shares of Common  Stock as shall then be
 issuable  upon the exercise of all  outstanding  Warrants.  All shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable
 shall,  upon such issue and upon payment of the exercise price therefor as provided  herein and in the applicable
 Warrant Certificate, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

          Section  5.06.  PAYMENT OF TAXES.  The Company  shall pay all Taxes that may be imposed on the Company or
 on the Warrants or on any  securities  deliverable  upon  exercise of Warrants with respect  thereto.  The Company
 shall not be required,  however,  to pay any Taxes or other charges imposed in connection with any transfer of any
 certificate  for shares of Common Stock or other  securities  underlying  the Warrants or payment of cash,  to any
 person other than the Holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise or purchase of a Warrant.

          Section  5.07.  CERTAIN  PERSONS  TO  EXECUTE  AGREEMENT.  Without  in any  way  limiting  any  transfer
 restrictions contained elsewhere herein, no Holder shall sell or





                                                        11






 otherwise transfer any Warrants held by such Holder,  unless, prior to the consummation of any such sale or other
 disposition,  the person to whom such sale or other  disposition  is proposed to be made executes and delivers to
 the Company an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company,  whereby such prospective transferee
 confirms that, with respect to the Warrants that are the subject of such sale or other  disposition,  it shall be
 deemed to be a  "Holder"  for the  purposes  of this  Agreement  and  agrees to be bound by all the terms of this
 Agreement.  Upon the execution and delivery by such prospective transferee of such agreement,  and subject to all
 applicable  transfer  restrictions,  such  prospective  transferee shall be deemed a "Holder" for the purposes of
 this Agreement,  and shall have the rights and be subject to the  obligations of a Holder  hereunder with respect
 to the Warrants held by such prospective transferee.

          Section  5.08.  PRIOR  NOTICE OF  DIVIDENDS.  If the  Company  declares a dividend  distribution  to the
 holders of the  Company's  Common Stock at any time there are  outstanding  Warrants  held by the Holder that are
 then  exercisable,  the Company will give the Holders  notice of the  declaration of the dividend at least thirty
 days prior to the date on which the Company  determines the dividend is to be paid.  Such notice shall be sent to
 the Holders in accordance with Section 6.02 below.

          Section 5.09.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company represents and warrants to the

 be in writing  and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly  given or made upon  receipt)  by
 delivery in person, or by courier service,  cable,  telecopy,  telegram,  or registered or certified mail (postage
 prepaid,  return  receipt  requested)  to the  respective  parties  hereto  at their  addresses  set  forth on the
 signature  pages to this  Agreement (or at such other address for a party hereto as shall be specified in a notice

          Section  6.04.  SEVERABILITY.  If any term or other  provision of this  Agreement is invalid,  illegal or
 incapable of being  enforced by any law or public policy,  all other terms and provisions of this Agreement  shall
 nevertheless  remain in full force and  effect so long as the  economic  or legal  substance  of the  transactions
 contemplated  hereby is not affected in any manner materially  adverse to any party. Upon such  determination that
 any term or other  provision  is  invalid,  illegal or  incapable  of being  enforced,  the parties  hereto  shall

 surety  satisfactory  to the Company in each instance  protecting the Company,  a new Warrant  Certificate of like
 tenor and  exercisable  for an  equivalent  number of shares of Common Stock as the Warrant  Certificate  so lost,
 stolen,  mutilated  or  destroyed.  Any such new Warrant  Certificate  shall  constitute  an original  contractual
 obligation of the Company,  whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen,  mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate
 at any time shall be  enforceable by anyone.  An applicant for such a substitute  Warrant  Certificate  also shall
 comply  with  such  other  reasonable  regulations  and pay such  other  reasonable  charges  as the  Company  may
 prescribe.  All  Warrant  Certificates  shall be held and owned  upon the  express  condition  that the  foregoing

 agreements  and  undertakings,  both  written and oral,  between or among the parties with respect to the subject
 matter hereof.

          Section 6.07. NO THIRD PARTY  BENEFICIARIES.  This  Agreement  shall be binding upon and inure solely to
 the  benefit of the  parties  hereto and their  respective  successors  and  permitted  assigns.  Nothing in this

 any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement.

 except by an  instrument  in writing  signed by, or on behalf of, the Company and holders of more than 50% of the
 outstanding  Warrants  or, in the case of a  waiver,  the party to be bound  thereby  (which,  in the case of the
 Holders of the Warrants, shall require Holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Warrants).

          Section 6.09.  GOVERNING  LAW. IN ALL  RESPECTS,  INCLUDING  ALL MATTERS OF  CONSTRUCTION,  VALIDITY AND

 Company of the  provisions  of this  Agreement,  in addition to any other  remedies  that it may have at law or in
 equity. The Company hereby  irrevocably  waives, to the extent that it may do so under applicable law, any defense
 based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which may be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific  performance  in
 any action brought  against the Company for specific  performance of this Agreement by the Holders of the Warrants
