                                 the Company;

                           (b)   A sale or other transfer of all or
                                 substantially all of the Company's assets;

                           (c)   A sale of 50% or more of the Company's capital
                                 stock then issued and outstanding;

                           (d)   A purchase or redemption by the Company of
                                 stock of any class;  or

                           (e)   Payment of a dividend or distribution from
                                 funds legally available therefor.

         D.       Voting Righs.  All shares authorized herein and designated
                  as Class C---Series A Preferred Stock shares shall not have
                  any rights to vote on any matters where shareholders of the
                  Company are entitled to vote, until conversion of the Class
                  C---Series A Preferred Stock in accordance herewith.

3.       Dividends

         The holders of the Class  C---Series A Preferred  Stock shall be
         entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 8% simple
         interest per annum, for a period of two years. Provided however,
         dividends shall not accrue nor be payable for a given fiscal year
         except out of earnings generated by the Company, after interest, taxes,
         depreciation and administrative expenses ("EBITDA"), as calculated
         according to generally accepted accounting principals at the end of the
         Company's fiscal year.

         Without prior written consent of the majority of the holders of Class
         C---Series A Preferred Stock, so long as any shares of Class C---Series
         A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, the Company shall not declare
         or pay on any Junior Stock any dividend whatsoever, whether in cash,
         property or otherwise, nor shall the Company make any distribution on
         any Junior Stock, nor shall any Junior Stock be purchased or redeemed
         by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of which it owns not less
         than 51% of the outstanding voting stock, nor shall any monies be paid
         or made available for a sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of
         any Junior Stock, unless all dividends to which the holders of Class
         C---Series A Preferred Stock shall have been entitled for all previous
         dividend periods shall have been paid or declared and a sum of money
         sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart.

4.       Conversion

         The Class C---Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following
         conversion rights (the "Conversion Rights"):

         A.       Holder's Optional Right to Convert. Each share of Class
                  C---Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the
                  option of the holder(s), on the Conversion Basis in effect at
                  the time of conversion.

         B.       Conversion Basis. Each share of Class C---Series A Preferred
                  Stock shall be convertible into shares of the Company's Common
                  Stock one a one-for one basis. By way of example, 100 shares
                  of Class C---Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible
                  into 100 shares of Common Stock.

         C.       Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Class C---Series
                  A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into
                  shares of Common Stock, such holder shall (i) give written
                  notice to the Company, at the office of the Company or of its
                  transfer agent for the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock,
                  that he elects to convert the same and shall state therein the
                  number of shares of Class C---Series A Preferred Stock being
                  converted; and (ii) surrender the certificate or certificates
                  therefor, duly endorsed. Thereupon the Company shall promptly
                  issue and deliver to such holder of Class C---Series A
                  Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates for the number
                  of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be
                  entitled. The conversion shall be deemed to have been made and
                  the resulting shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have
                  been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the
                  date of such notice and surrender of the shares of Class
                  C---Series A Preferred Stock.

         D.       Adjustments to the Conversion Basis.

                  (i)      Stock Splits and Combinations. At any time after the
                           Company first issues the Class C---Series A Preferred
                           Stock and while any of the shares of Class C---Series
                           A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, if the Company
                           shall effect a subdivision or combination of the
                           Common Stock subject to the Protective Provisions (as
                           defined below), the Conversion Basis then in effect
                           immediately before that subdivision or combination
                           shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment
                           shall become effective at the close of business on
                           the date the subdivision or combination becomes
                           effective.

                  (ii)     Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. At any
                           time after the Company first issues the Class
                           C---Series A Preferred Stock and while any of the
                           shares of Class C---Series A Preferred Stock remain
                           outstanding, if the Common Stock issuable upon the
                           conversion of the Class C---Series A Preferred Stock
                           shall be changed into the same or a different number
                           of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether
                           by capital reorganization, reclassification, or
                           otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of
                           shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a
                           reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of
                           assets), then and in each such event the holder of
                           each share of Class C---Series A Preferred Stock
                           shall have the right thereafter to convert such
                           shares into the kind and amount of shares of stock
                           and other securities and property receivable upon
                           such reorganization, reclassification, or other
                           change, by holders of the number of shares of Common
                           Stock into which such shares of Class C---Series A
                           Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately
                           prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or
                           change, all subject to further adjustments as
                           provided herein.

                  (iii)    Reorganization, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of
                           Assets. At any time after the Company first issues
                           the Class C---Series A Preferred Stock and while any
                           of such shares remain outstanding, if there shall be
                           a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other
                           than a subdivision, combination, reclassification, or
                           exchange of shares), or a merger or consolidation of
                           the Company with or into another Company, or the sale
                           of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
                           to any other person, then as a part of such
                           reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale,
                           provision shall be made so that the holders of the
                           Class C---Series A Preferred Stock thereafter shall
                           be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Class
                           C---Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of
                           stock or other securities or property of the Company,
                           or of the successor Company resulting from such
                           merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of
                           Class C---Series A Preferred Stock deliverable upon
                           conversion would have been entitled on such capital
                           reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale.

         E.       Notices of Record Date. In the event of any reclassification
                  or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any
                  merger or consolidation of the Company, or any transfer of all
                  or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other
                  Company, entity, or person, or any voluntary or involuntary
                  dissolution, liquidating, or winding up of the Company, the
                  Company shall mail to each holder of Class C---Series A
                  Preferred Stock at least 30 days prior to the record date
                  specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any
                  such reorganization, reclassification, transfer,
                  consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up
                  is expected to become effective, and the time, if any is to be
                  fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or
                  other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares
                  of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other
                  property deliverable upon such reorganization,
                  reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger,
                  dissolution, liquidation, or winding up.

         F.       Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall
                  be issued upon conversion of the Class C---Series A Preferred
                  Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder
                  would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal
                  to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market
                  value of one share of the Company's Common Stock on the date
                  of conversion, as determined in good faith by the Company's
                  directors.

         G.       Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company
                  shall not be required to reserve or keep available out of its
                  authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, any of its
                  shares of Common Stock that would be deliverable upon
                  conversion of the Class C---Series A Preferred Stock.

5.       Protective Provisions

         Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, including
         but not limited to paragraph 4.D above, so long as any of the Class
         C---Series A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, the Company shall
         not without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent,
         as provided by law) of the holders of at least two-thirds of the total
         number of shares of Class C---Series A Preferred Stock outstanding:

         A.       Alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the
                  Class C---Series A Preferred Stock by way of reverse stock
                  split, reclassification, merger consolidation or otherwise, so
                  as to adversely affect in any manner the voting rights
                  including number of votes presently allowed or the conversion
