          (a)  The Term B Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i)
     convert a portion of the Term B Loan Amount equal to $1,500,000 into the
     number of shares of Parent Common Stock representing four and nine-tenths
     percent (4.9%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock
     on a fully diluted basis (the "Parent Conversion Right") and (ii) convert a
     portion of the Term B Loan Amount equal to $1,500,000 into the number of
     shares of WGSI Common Stock representing four and nine-tenths percent
     (4.9%) of the issued and outstanding shares of WGSI Common Stock on a fully
     diluted basis (the "WGSI Conversion Right"), at any time and from time to
     time (including, without limitation, during the continuance of an Event of
     Default) that the Term B Loan Amount is outstanding; provided, however,
                                                          --------  -------

     WGSI Warrant or (B) the consent of, or notice to any Governmental Authority
     is required for the exercise of the WGSI Conversion Right, unless and until
     such consent has been obtained or such notice has been delivered.

          (b)  The option of Term B Lender to exercise its rights pursuant to
     this Section 2.16.1 shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice
     of election by such holder to Parent, which notice shall state the Term B
     Loan Amount and the date on which such election is to be effective (the
     "Conversion Date") and shall be delivered on a date not less than 10 nor
     more than 60 Business Days prior to the Conversion Date. A notice of
     election, once delivered, may be rescinded at any time prior to the
     Conversion Date.

          (c)  Upon the Conversion Date the Term B Lender (or its nominee) shall
     be entitled to receive, (i) in exchange for a portion of the Term B Loan
     Amount equal to $1,500,000, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock
     equal to four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%) of the issued and outstanding
     shares of Parent Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, and (ii) in
     exchange for a portion of the Term B Loan Amount equal to $1,500,000, the
     number of shares of WGSI Common Stock equal to four and nine-tenths percent
     (4.9%) of the issued and outstanding shares of WGSI Common Stock on a fully
     diluted basis.

     Amount shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its
     authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, for the purposes of
     effecting the conversion of the Term B Loan Amount, the number of duly
     authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient
     to effect the conversion of the Term B Loan Amount pursuant to the Parent
     Conversion Right and the WGSI Conversion Right, on a fully diluted basis.

          (e)  Each of Parent and WGSI shall comply with all federal and state
     securities laws regulating the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock

     may be, of such event:

          (a)  Parent or WGSI, as the case may be, proposes to set a record date
     of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining
     the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a
     regularly scheduled cash dividend payable out of consolidated earnings or
     earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     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;

          (b)  any capital reorganization of Parent or WGSI, as the case may be,
     any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of Parent or

     transaction or series of transactions in which more than 50% of the voting
     securities of Parent or WGSI, as the case may be, are transferred to
     another Person, or any transfer, sale or other disposition of all or
     substantially all the assets of Parent or WGSI, as the case may be, to any
     other Person; or

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

               Section 2.16.3   Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers,
                                -------------------------------------------
     Sales, Etc.  If any of the following shall occur, namely: (a) any
     ----------
     reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
     exercise of the Conversion Rights; (b) any consolidation or merger to which
     Parent or WGSI, as the case may be, is a party other than a merger in which
     Parent or WGSI, as the case may be, is the continuing entity and which does
     not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in
     name or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, the Common Stock;
     or (c) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of
     Parent or WGSI, as the case may be, then Parent or WGSI, as the case may
     be, or such successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, shall, as a
     condition precedent to such reclassification, change, consolidation,
     merger, sale or conveyance, execute and deliver to the Term B Lender an
     agreement providing that the Term B Lender shall have the right to convert
     up to $3,000,000 of the Term B Loan Amount into the kind and amount of
     units and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon

     a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise
     of the Conversion Rights immediately prior to such reclassification,
     change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. If, in the case of any
     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
     and shall

                                      -12-

     provisions of this Section 2.16.3 shall similarly apply to successive
     consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

               Section 2.16.4  Adjustment of Common Stock.
                               --------------------------

          (a)  Adjustment of Conversion Price and Common Stock.  Upon each
               -----------------------------------------------
     adjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the calculations made in
     this Section 2.16.4, the Term B Loan Amount shall thereafter evidence the
     right to receive, at the adjusted 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 B Loan Amount was convertible immediately prior to such
     adjustment and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
     adjustment of the Conversion Price by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect
     immediately after such adjustment of the 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
     2.16.4(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 2.16.4(f)) for such shares would be
     less than the greater of the 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 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
     Conversion Price by a fraction

          (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 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 2.16.4, (x) immediately after any Additional
     Shares of Common Stock are deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section
     2.16.4(d) or 2.16.4(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 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 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, 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 2.16.4(f)) for such shares would
     be less than the greater of the 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 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;

                                      -14-

          (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 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 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 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 2.16.4(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 Conversion Price by an amount in excess
     of the amount of the

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

     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 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 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
               ----------------------------
     2.16.4,

          (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 2.16.4, relating to Options and Convertible Securities,
     shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration per share
     determined by dividing

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

          (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),

          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 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 2.16.4, the Conversion Rights under this Section
                                                                         -------
     2.16, then, and in each such case, the computations, adjustments and
     ----
     readjustments provided for in this Section 2.16.4 with respect to the
     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 Conversion Rights, so as to protect the holders of the
     Term B Loan Amount against the effect of such dilution.

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

          (i)  De Minimis Adjustments.  If the amount of any adjustment of the
               ----------------------
     Conversion Price per share required pursuant to this Section 2.16.4 would
     be less than one tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the 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 Conversion Price of at least one
     tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of such 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.

          (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 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
     Conversion Price and number of shares of Common Stock into which Term B
     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 Conversion
     Rights in accordance with this Section 2.16.
                                    ------------

          (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
                                                                     -------
     2.16, 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 B Lender under this
     Section 2.16 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 Conversion Rights, (ii) shall not take any action which
     results in any adjustment of the Conversion Price if the total number of
     shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable after the action upon
     the exercise of the 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

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

     such exercise, (iii) shall not permit the par value of any shares of stock
     receivable upon exercise of the 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.

     (k)  Section 6 of the Loan Agreement is amended by inserting a new Section
          ---------                                                     -------
6.16 and Section 6.17 at the end of Section 6, to read as follows:

                        ---------------------------------

notices which may be required for the exercise of the WGSI Conversion Right and
the exercise of the WGSI Warrant, in each case as soon as possible and at the
sole cost and expense of the Borrowers.

          ------------
set forth in Annex I attached hereto.

          if the consent of, or notice to, any Governmental Authority is

Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents, except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Amendment, in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby,

8.   Miscellaneous.

     (a)  Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Loan
Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder", "herein", "hereof" or words of like
import referring to the Loan Agreement shall mean and refer to the Loan
Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

     (b)  Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Loan

     (c)  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.

     (d)  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and
delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken
together, shall constitute but one and the same Amendment. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile shall be equally as
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. Any
party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile also
shall deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment but the failure
to deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity,
enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment.

     (e)  This Amendment is a Loan Document.
