Stock"), $.01 par value per share, of the Company, subject to the provisions of
this Warrant, from Vicom, Incorporated, a Minnesota corporation ("Company"), at
any time on or before 3:00 p.m. Minneapolis time, on October 11, 2002, upon
compliance with and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at a purchase
price per share of $ 2.25 (in cash or fair market value of property acceptable
to the Company). The number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the
exercise of this Warrant and the price to be paid for a share of Common Stock
may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The shares of the
Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise, and as adjusted from time to time,
are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Warrant Stock", and the exercise price
of a share of Common Stock, in effect at any time and as adjusted from time to
time is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Exercise Price".

(a)  EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. Subject to the provisions of Section (j) hereof, this
     Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to
     time on or before 3:00 p.m. Minneapolis time on October 11, 2002, or if
     such date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to
     close, then on the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day, by
     presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of the
     its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Purchase Form annexed hereto
     duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price (in cash or
     equivalent value) for the number of shares specified in such form, together
     with all



<PAGE>



     federal and state taxes applicable upon such exercise. If this Warrant
     should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this
     Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the
     right hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at the office
     or agency of the Company, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be
     deemed to be the Holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable
     upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the
     Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares
     of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.

(b)  RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby agrees that at all times
     subsequent hereto there shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon
     exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall
     be required for issuance or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant
     ("Warrant Stock").

(c)  FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
     shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to
     any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company
     shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied
     by the current market value of such fractional share, determined as
     follows:

     (1)  If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or
          admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange, the current
          value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on
          such exchange on the last business day prior to the date of exercise
          of this Warrant or, if no such sale is made on such day the average
          closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange; or

     (2)  If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
          privileges, the current value shall be the mean of the last reported
          bid and asked prices reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market or, if not
          quoted, by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. on the last business
          day prior to the day of the exercise of this Warrant; or

     (3)  If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
          privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current
          value shall be an amount, not less that book value, determined in such
          reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of
          the Company, such determination to be final and binding on the Holder.

(d)  EXCHANGE, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exchangeable,
     without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and
     surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer
     agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the
     Holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of
     Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Subject to Section (j) hereof,
     assignment of this Warrant shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to
     the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the
     Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay
     any transfer tax; whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and
     deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument
     of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. Subject to
     Section (j) hereof, Warrant may be divided upon presentation hereof at the
     office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any,
     together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in
     which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The
     terms "Warrant" and "Warrants" as used herein include any Warrants issued
     in substitution of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
     destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft
     or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon
     surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will
     execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new
     Warrant executed and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual
     obligation on the part of the Company whether or not this Warrant is so
     lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by
     anyone.

(e)  Rights of the Holder. THE HOLDER SHALL NOT, BY VIRTUE HEREOF, BE ENTITLED
     TO ANY RIGHTS OF A SHAREHOLDER IN THE COMPANY, EITHER AT LAW OR EQUITY, AND
     THE RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER ARE LIMITED TO THOSE EXPRESSED IN THE WARRANT AND
     ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE COMPANY EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SET FORTH
     HEREIN.

     REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS WARRANT SET FORTH ON
     THE REVERSE HEREOF WHICH SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS
     THOUGH FULLY SET FORTH HEREIN.

     DATED: APRIL 11, 2000                          VICOM, INCORPORATED


                                            BY: JAMES L. MANDEL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE

                              ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS


(f)  ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. Anything in this
     Section (f) to the contrary notwithstanding, in case the Company shall at
     any time issue Common Stock or Convertible Securities by way of dividend or
     other distribution on any stock of the Company or subdivide or other
     distribution on any stock of the Company or subdivide or combine the
     outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company shall equitably adjust the
     terms of this Warrant.

(g)  OFFICER'S CERTIFICATES. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as
     required by the provisions of Section (f) hereof, the Company shall
     forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at
     its principal office, and with its stock transfer agent, if any, an
     officer's certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as
     herein provided and setting forth in reasonable detail the fact requiring
     such adjustment. Each such officer's certificates shall be available at all
     reasonable times for inspection by the Holder and the Company shall,
     forthwith after each such adjustment, deliver a copy of such certificate to
     the Holder. Such certificate shall be conclusive as to the correctness of
     such adjustment.

(h)  NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding
     and unexercised (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any
     distribution upon the Common Stock or (ii) if the Company shall offer to
     the Holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any shares
     of stock of any class or any other rights or (iii) if any capital
     reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the
     Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
     corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the
     property and assets of the Company to another corporation, or voluntary or
     involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall
     cause to be delivered to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the
     date specified in (x) or (y) below, as date on which (x) a record is to be
     taken for the pursue of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y) such
     reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease,
     dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if
     any, is to be fixed as of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
     exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property
     deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation,
     merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(i)  RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION OR MERGER. In case of any
     reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding
     shares of Common Stock of the company (other than a change in par value, or
     from no par value to par value, or as a result of an issuance of Common
     Stock by way of dividend or other distribution or of a subdivision of
     combination) or in case of any consolidation of merger or the Company with
     or into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which
     merger the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result
     in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
     outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of
     this Warrant) or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation
     of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an
     entirety, the Company shall cause an effective provision to be made so that
     the Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to
     purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and
     property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or
     other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision
     shall include a provision for adjustments which shall be nearly equivalent
     as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The
     foregoing provisions of this Section (i) shall similarly apply to
     successive reclassifications, capital reorganization and changes of shares
     of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
     conveyances. If in any such capital reorganization or reclassification,
     consolidation or merger, sale or conveyance, additional shares of Common
     Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, in
     whole or in part, for or of a security of the Company other than Common
     Stock, any such issue shall be treated as issue of Common Stock covered by
     the provisions of subsection (f) hereof with the amount of the
     consideration received upon the issue thereof being determined by the Board
     of Directors of the Company, such determination to be final and binding on
     the Holder.

(j)  TRANSFER AND EXERCISE TO COMPLY WITH SECURITIES ACT OF 1933

     (1)  This Warrant may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of
          except to a person who, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, is
          a person to whom this Warrant or such Warrant Stock may legally be
          transferred pursuant to Section (d) hereof without registration and
          without the delivery of a current prospectus under the Securities Act
          with respect thereto and then only against receipt of an agreement of
          such person to comply with the provisions of this Section (j) with
          respect to any resale or other disposition of such securities.

          covering the Warrant Stock has been declared effective by the U.S.
          Securities and Exchange Commission or an exemption from registration
          has been established to the satisfaction of legal counsel of the
          Company.

     (3)  The Company may cause the following legend to be set forth on each
          certificate representing Warrant Stock or any other security issued or
          issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, unless counsel for the Company
          is in the opinion as to any such certificate that such legend is
          unnecessary: "The securities represented by this certificate may not
          be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to
          an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
          (the "Act"), or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
          Act the availability of which is to be established, upon compliance
          with and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to the
          satisfaction of the Company."

     (4)  The Warrants may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at a
          redemption price of $.01 (one cent) per Warrant, at the option of the
          Company, at any time following a period of ten consecutive trading
          days during which the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or
          exceeded $ 2.83 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in
          Section (f) of this Warrant) and if a registration statement covering
          the resale of the Warrant Stock then is effective under the Securities
          Act of 1933, as amended, upon notice of such redemption given by the
          Company to the Holder not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date
          fixed for redemption mailed to the Holder of Warrants at their last
          registered address. If notice of such redemption shall have been given
          to the Holder, the exercise rights of the Warrants identified for
          redemption shall expire at the close of business on such date of
          redemption.

(k)  APPLICABLE LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in
     accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.

(l)  PRIOR WARRANT NULL AND VOID. This Warrant replaces and supersedes Holder's
     prior Warrant exercisable at $8.75 per share.
