                  interest thereon) imposed on the Company including, without
                  limitation, those due as a result of the operation of the

                  (D) Any claim, legal action, suit, arbitration or other legal

                  either the Company's Video Business, the officers and
                  directors of the Company (as such litigation, if any, may
                  relate to the Company's Video Business), or the Assets or the
                  properties or business relative to the Company's Video
                  Business, all of which shall be expressly retained by the
                  Company; provided, however, that Purchaser shall provide the
                  Company (at no cost to the Purchaser) with whatever
                  cooperation and assistance that the Company may reasonably
                  require subsequent to the Closing hereof in connection with
                  the foregoing; and

                  (E) Except as Purchaser shall have otherwise expressly agreed
                  to assume herein, liabilities and obligations of the Company,
                  if any, accruing prior to, on or after the Closing Date
                  relating to the Company's employment of any of the Company's
                  employees, including, without limitation, compensation,
                  severance payments, if any, contributions to employee benefit
                  plans, workers' compensation or other insurance claims.

            (c) Excluded Assets. Except as set forth on Schedule 1(c) annexed
hereto, the Company is selling to Purchaser hereunder all, and is not excluding
any, of the assets of any nature whatsoever that are used by the Company to
conduct the Company's Video Business as presently operated and as currently
contemplated to be operated subsequent to the consummation of the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "Excluded
Assets"). Schedule 1(c) shall include, among other things, a detailed listing on
an account by account basis of the Company's accounts receivables as of the
Balance Sheet Date with respect to those goods and services that the Company has
fully delivered or performed, as the case may be, all of which shall be retained
by the Company (the "Accounts Receivables").

            (d) Consent of Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, but subject, nevertheless, to Section 14 hereof,
this Agreement shall not


                                        7
<PAGE>

constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Governmental Approval,
instrument, Contract, lease, permit or other agreement or arrangement or any
claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an
assignment or transfer or an attempt to make such an assignment or transfer
without the consent of a third party would constitute a breach or violation
thereof or affect adversely the rights of Purchaser or the Company thereunder;
any transfer or assignment to Purchaser by the Company or the Subsidiary of any
interest under any such instrument, Contract, lease, permit or other agreement
or arrangement that requires the consent or approval of a third party shall be
made subject to such consent or approval being obtained. In the event any such
consent or approval is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, the Company
shall continue to use its best efforts to obtain such approval or consent after
the Closing Date until such time as such consent or approval has been obtained,
and the Company will cooperate with Purchaser in any lawful and economically
feasible arrangement to provide that Purchaser shall receive the interest of the
Company, and/or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, in the benefits under any
such instrument, Contract, lease or permit or other agreement or arrangement,
including performance by the Company or the Subsidiary as agent, if economically
feasible, provided, that Purchaser shall undertake to pay or satisfy the
corresponding liabilities for the enjoyment of such benefit to the extent
Purchaser would have been responsible therefor hereunder if such consent or
approval had been obtained. The Company shall pay and discharge, and shall
indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all out-of-pocket
costs of seeking to obtain or obtaining any such consent or approval whether
before or after the Closing Date. Nothing in this Section 1(d) shall be deemed a
waiver by Purchaser of its right to have received on or before the Closing an
effective assignment of all of the Assets nor shall this Section 1(d) be deemed
to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Assets any assets described in
Section 1(a) hereof.

      2. (a) Purchase Price. As full and total consideration for the sale,
transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery of the Assets by the Company to
Purchaser, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made herein
by the Company, Purchaser agrees, subject to any adjustments or holdbacks herein
provided for, to deliver to the Company the aggregate sum of $2,000,000, by wire
transfer or certified or official bank check drawn on a bank which is a member
of the New York Clearing House Association payable to the order of the Company
(the "Purchase Price").

            (b) Purchase Price Adjustment. The Purchase Price set forth in
Section 2(a) above (which is subject to the provisions of Section 15 below)
shall be subject to adjustment as hereinbelow set forth in this Section 2(b).
Specifically, in the


                                        8
<PAGE>

event that the Agreed Upon Accounts Payable are less than Three Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000), the Purchase Price shall be increased on
a dollar-for-dollar basis. By way of example, in the event that the Agreed Upon
Accounts Payables is Three Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,400,000),
the Purchase Price shall be increased by $100,000 to Two Million One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($2,100,000).

            (c) Purchase Price Prepayments. Upon the execution hereof, Purchaser
shall pay to Company Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) by certified or
cashiers bank check (the "First Prepayment"). In the event that the Purchaser
and the Company have not effected a Closing on or before February 28, 1998, and
Purchaser is desirous of effecting a Closing thereafter, Purchaser shall be
required to pay to Company an additional Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000)
(the "Second Prepayment") by certified or cashiers bank check or wire transfer
on or before February 28, 1998; provided, however, notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall Purchaser be required to make such Second
Prepayment any sooner than fourteen (14) days after Company has responded to all
reasonable inquiries and delivered all reasonably requested documentation in
connection with Projectavision's due diligence, including but not limited to the
"Projected Balance Sheet" and the "1996 Balance Sheet" referred to and defined
in Section 6(g) below.

            (d) Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price payable
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof shall be allocated as provided on Schedule 2(c)
annexed hereto. The parties hereto agree that Purchaser may use such allocation
for purposes of filing Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition
Statement under Section 1060) pursuant to the provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

            (e) Acquisition by Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser may cause some or all of the Assets to be
acquired hereunder by one (1) or more affiliates of Purchaser; provided,
however, that Purchaser shall remain liable, jointly and severally, with any
such affiliate(s) for any and all obligations under this Agreement. The term
"affiliates" as used in this Section 2(d) shall have the same meaning as set
forth under the definition of "affiliates" in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.

      3. (a) Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated under this
Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Zukerman Gore &
Brandeis, LLP, 900 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022 no later than April
30, 1998, provided that all conditions precedent set forth in Section 14 hereof,
or at such other time and place as the parties may agree. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that all of the conditions set forth in Section 14 below
have been satisfied or


                                        9
<PAGE>

waived, except for Purchaser's delivery obligation pursuant to Section 5(a)(i),
Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date to May 31, 1998 by
paying to Company, pursuant to and in accordance with the holdback provisions of
Section 15 below, on or before April 30, 1998, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
(the "Third Prepayment") by certified or cashiers bank check or wire transfer.
The First Prepayment, the Second Prepayment (if any) and the Third Prepayment
(if any) are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Prepayments." The day on which the Closing actually takes place is herein
sometimes referred to as the "Closing Date."

            (b) Further Action.

            (i) The Company and Purchaser agree to use all reasonable good faith
            efforts to take all actions and to do all things necessary, proper
            or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby by
            the Closing Date, including but not limited to (A) fulfilling the
            provisions of Section 12 below, and (B) delivering all of the
            Schedules required to be annexed to this Agreement; provided that a

            pursuant to all applicable provisions of (A) constitutions,
            treaties, statutes, laws (including common law), rules, regulations,
            ordinances, codes or orders of any Government Authority; and (B)
            orders, decisions, injunctions, judgments, awards and decrees of or
            agreements with any Governmental Authority (collectively, the
            "Applicable Laws") in connection with this Agreement, the sale and
            transfer of the Assets pursuant to this Agreement and the
            consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby.

            (iii) The Company and Purchaser, as promptly as practicable, will
            use all reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all
            consents of any Governmental Authority and of any third party
            (collectively, the "Consents") necessary to be obtained in order to
            consummate the sale and transfer of the Assets pursuant to this
            Agreement and the consummation of the other transactions
            contemplated hereby.

            (iv) The Company shall coordinate and cooperate with Purchaser in
            exchanging such information and supplying such assistance as may be
            reasonably required

            Agreement and the "Company's Related Agreements" (as that term is
            defined in Section 6(d) below).

            (v) At all times prior to the Closing, the Company shall promptly
            notify Purchaser in writing, and the Purchaser shall promptly notify
            the Company in writing, upon becoming aware of any fact, condition,
            event or occurrence that will or may result in the failure to
            satisfy any of the conditions precedent to the transactions
            contemplated by this Agreement as set forth in Section 14 hereof.

            (vi) The Company shall use its good faith, reasonable efforts to
            enter into such agreements and other arrangements (including
            sublicenses and subleases) with Purchaser as are necessary to ensure
            that Purchaser receives benefits under the Contracts set forth on
            Schedule 6(z) annexed hereto and the other agreements to be
            transferred to Purchaser hereunder that are the same as received
            under the Contracts prior to the Closing or as contemplated to be
            received after the Closing.

obtain such certificates prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall withhold or,
where appropriate, escrow such amount as necessary based upon the Purchaser's
reasonable estimate of the amount of such potential liability, or as determined
by the appropriate taxing authority, to cover such value added taxes until such
time as certificates are provided.

and marks "Vidikron Industries S.p.A." or "Vidikron of America, Inc.," or any
other name confusingly similar to such names and marks or any variation thereof.
It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by the Company that the provisions of
this Section 4(e) are of the essence hereof.

            (f) Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the
Closing, at Purchaser's request and expense, without further consideration, the
Company shall execute and deliver such other additional instruments of sale,
transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation and take such other action as
Purchaser may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to transfer,
convey and assign to Purchaser the Assets, subject to this Agreement, to put
Purchaser in actual possession and operating control thereof and to assist
Purchaser in exercising all of the Company's rights with respect thereto and to
take such action and execute such documents or instruments as may be reasonably
requested by the Purchaser in connection with any governmental or regulatory
matters or filings required to be made by Purchaser, including, without
limitation, any filings, documents or instruments to be delivered to the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission or any other Governmental Authority,
The Nasdaq Stock Market, Purchaser's, the Company's and the Subsidiary's,

            business, respectively, setting forth the address, landlord,

            of the Leases, by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby.

            (ii) No Proceedings. There are no eminent domain or other similar

            violation of any covenant, condition, restriction, easement or order
            of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such property

Guaranty Corporation, (ii) commencement of any proceeding to terminate any such
plan pursuant to ERISA, or otherwise or (iii) written notice given to the
Subsidiary of the intention to commence or seek the commencement of any such
proceeding.

provisions of laws or regulations relating to labor relations and/or safety at
work or other laws, the violation of which, including any penalties or sanctions
which could be imposed, would have an adverse effect upon the financial

the Company has duly paid all employee related insurance, social security
contributions, and other employee related charges, when due according to
applicable laws, rules or regulations, and no circumstances exist which could
give rise to additional payments thereunder. Adequate provisions have been made
in the Balance Sheet as at Closing, to reflect all such employee-related charges
accrued for periods prior to the Closing Date but not yet due and to reflect all
accrued employee vacation time or payment in lieu thereof. The reserve on the
Balance Sheet with respect to the T.F.R. (Severance Indemnity payments) due to
Employees and to the employees of the Subsidiary, is and will be adequate to
cover the accrued liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiary in respect of
such indemnity payments as at the respective date thereof. No circumstances
exist which could give rise to any additional indemnity payments.

            (i) The Company is under no obligation (whether of a legal nature or
otherwise) to pay any pensions or other sums to, or in respect of, any of its
ex-Employees or ex-employees of the Subsidiary.

            (iv) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands,
            assessments, judgments, costs and expenses, including, without
            limitation, reasonable legal fees, court costs and expenses,
            incident to (i), (ii) or (iii) above or (iv) below or incurred in
            investigating or attempting to avoid the same or to oppose the
            imposition thereof, or in enforcing this indemnity; and

            (v) any and all loss, liability or damage suffered or incurred by
            Purchaser by reason of or in connection with any claim for finder's

            (b) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold the Company harmless

            (i) any and all loss, liability or damage suffered or incurred by
            the Company by reason of or resulting from any untrue
            representation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any

            the Company in respect of or in connection with Purchaser's failure
            to timely pay any of the Assumed Liabilities;

            (iii) any and all payments of any nature whatsoever due and owing to
            Hambro America Securities, Inc. with respect to this Agreement or
            any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

            (iv) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands,
            assessments, judgments, costs and expenses, including, without
            limitation, reasonable legal fees, court costs and expenses,
            incident to (i), (ii) or (iii) above or (v) below or incurred in
            investigating or attempting to avoid the same or to oppose the

            of Purchaser with respect to this Agreement or any of the
            transactions contemplated hereby.

            (c) [Intentionally Omitted.]

            (d) Any indemnifiable liability or reimbursement under this Section
9 shall be limited to the amount of actual damages (of any nature) subject to
indemnification actually sustained by a party hereto, net of any applicable
insurance payments actually received, other reimbursement or tax benefit
actually realized by such party.

            (e) If a claim by a third party is made against a party hereto (an
"Indemnified Party"), and if an Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with
respect thereto under this Section 9, the Indemnified Party shall promptly
notify the party required to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this
Section 9 (an "Indemnifying Party") of such claim (the "Indemnity Notice");
provided, however, that failure by an Indemnified Party to notify an
Indemnifying Party of such claim shall not effect the Indemnified Party's right
to seek indemnification so long as the Indemnifying Party is not materially
prejudiced by such failure to have been notified of such claim. The Indemnifying
Party shall have ten (10) days after receipt of the Indemnity Notice to
undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its
expense, but reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, the settlement or
defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection
therewith; provided, however, that with respect to settlements entered into by
the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the release of the
claiming party in favor of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party
undertakes, conducts and controls the settlement or defense of such claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such
settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, providing
that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified
Party. With respect to indemnification provided for hereunder, the


                                       42
<PAGE>

Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim so long as the
Indemnifying Party is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to pay or settle any such claims, provided that in such event it
shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnifying Party.

            (f) Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 9(c)-(e), if
the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15)
days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party's notice of a claim of indemnity
hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim in the exercise
of its good faith reasonable judgment at the expense of the Indemnifying Party
subject to the other terms and provisions of this Section 9.

            10. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All
statements, representations, warranties, agreements and indemnities made by each
of the parties hereto (and in any schedule or exhibit annexed hereto) are and
shall be true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, and
each of them shall survive until the first anniversary of the Closing subject to
Section 9 hereof.

      11. Conduct of Business Prior to Closing. (a) Prior to the Closing, each
of the Company with respect to the Company's Video Business and the Subsidiary
shall conduct its business and affairs only in the ordinary course and
consistent with its prior practice and shall maintain, keep and preserve the
Assets, the Subsidiary's assets and properties in good condition and repair and
maintain insurance thereon in accordance and consistent with present practices,
and the Company will use its best efforts to preserve the business and
organization of the Company with respect to the Company's Video Business and the
Subsidiary intact, to keep available to Purchaser the services of the present
officers of the Company's Video Business and the Subsidiary to preserve for the
benefit of Purchaser the goodwill of the Company's Video Business and the
Subsidiary with its suppliers and customers and others having business relations
with it, including, without limitation, the following:

            (i) Liabilities. Consistent with past practice, the Company with
            respect to the Company's Video Business and the Subsidiary shall pay
            or discharge its current liabilities when the same become due and
            payable, except for such liabilities as may be subject to a good
            faith dispute or counterclaim.

            (ii) Litigation. The Company shall promptly notify Purchaser of any
            lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations which after the date
            hereof are


                                       43
<PAGE>

            commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company threatened against the
            Company with respect to the Company's Video Business, the Subsidiary
            or against any officer, employee, consultant or agent of the Company
            with respect to the Company's Video Business, the Subsidiary or the
            transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

            (iii) Compliance with Laws. The Company will take such action as may
            be necessary to duly comply with all laws, statutes, rules and
            regulations applicable to it as they relate to the conduct of the
            Company's Video Business and the Subsidiary's business.

            (iv) Continued Effectiveness of Representations and Warranties. The
            Company shall use its best efforts to conduct the Company's Video
            Business and the business of the Subsidiary in such a manner so that
            the representations and warranties contained in Section 6 hereof
            shall continue to be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date
            as if made on and as of the Closing Date. The Company shall promptly
            give to Purchaser notice of any event, condition or circumstance
            occurring from the date hereof through the Closing Date which would
            constitute a violation or breach of their representations,
            warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

            (b) Without limiting the generality of Section 11(a) hereof, prior
to the Closing, the Company will not without Purchaser's prior written approval:

            (i) change the Subsidiary's certificate of incorporation or by-laws
            or merge or consolidate or obligate the Company or the Subsidiary to
            do so with or into any other entity;

            (ii) enter into any contract, agreement, commitment or other
            understanding or arrangement which is not in the ordinary course of
            the Company's Video Business or the business of the Subsidiary; or

            (iii) perform, take any action or incur or permit to exist any of
            the acts, transactions, events or occurrences of the type described
            in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), (ix), (x),
            (xi), (xii), (xiv), (xv) and (xvi) of Section 6(j) hereof which
            would have been inconsistent with the representations and warranties
            set forth therein had the same occurred after the Balance Sheet Date
            and prior to the date hereof.


                                       44
<PAGE>

            (c) The Company shall give Purchaser prompt written notice of any
change in any of the information contained in the representations and warranties
made in Section 6 hereof or the Schedules referred to therein which occurs prior
to the Closing.

      12. Access to Information and Documents.

            (a) So long as this Agreement is in effect the Company, in order for
Purchaser to complete its due diligence in connection with effecting a Closing
hereunder, will give Purchaser and Purchaser's attorneys, accountants,
consultants, financial advisors, employees, agents and other representatives
full access to the Company's Video Business, including but not limited to, with
respect to the Company's Video Business and the Subsidiary, all properties,
documents, contracts, information, books, work papers and records and will
furnish Purchaser with copies of such documents (certified by the Company's and
the Subsidiary's officers as so appropriate and if so requested) and shall
provide all information with respect to all properties, assets, banking and
other financial relationships, books, contracts, commitments, reports and
records as Purchaser may from time to time request, including, without
limitation, such books, records, documents and any other information relating to
any predecessor to the Company's Video Business, all of which shall be subject
to the provisions of Section 12(b) below; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company shall not be required to disclose
to Purchaser prior to the Closing the identifies of the entities, data for which
is set forth on Schedule 6(w), Schedule 6(x) Schedule 6(z) or Schedule 6(ff),
and (ii) the Company shall not be required, prior to Closing, to disclose to
Purchaser any proprietary data that is solely of a technical nature, that the
Company believes, in good faith, would be competitively damaging to the Company
in the event that the Closing does not occur. The furnishing of any information
to Purchaser hereunder or any investigation by Purchaser shall not affect
Purchaser's right to rely on any representations and warranties made in this
Agreement. In addition, the Company will permit Purchaser and its attorneys,
accountants, financial advisers, consultants, employees, agents and other
representatives reasonable access to personnel of the Company's Video Business
and of the Subsidiary, as well as to the customers, suppliers and distributors
of the Company's Video Business and the Subsidiary, and those institutions with
which the Company's Video Business and the Subsidiary maintain banking,
borrowing or credit relationships, all during normal business hours as may be
necessary or useful to the Purchaser in its review of the properties, assets and
business affairs of the Company's Video Business and the Subsidiary; provided,
however, that Purchaser agrees that it will not contact any of such foregoing
personnel, customers, suppliers or distributors, or banking, borrowing or credit
institutions, without coordinating such contact with the Company; and it is
further provided that


                                       45
<PAGE>

with respect to those distributors and suppliers set forth on Schedule 12(a)
annexed hereto, Purchaser shall not engage in any business relations for two (2)
years after the date set forth above in the event that a Closing hereunder does
not occur.

            (b) Each of the parties hereto recognizes that it will receive
confidential information concerning the other upon the execution of this
Agreement. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees to use their
respective best efforts to prevent the "unauthorized disclosure" of any
confidential information concerning the other that is disclosed during the
course of the investigations contemplated by this Agreement and is clearly
designated as confidential at the time of disclosure. As used herein, the term
"unauthorized disclosure" shall mean disclosure by either the Company or the
Purchaser to any person or entity who is not an executive officer, director or
key employee of any party hereto or who is not an authorized representative of
any party hereto. An authorized representative shall include a party's
attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and bankers, and with respect to
Purchaser, its potential financing sources. The obligations of this paragraph
will not apply to information that (a) is or becomes part of the public domain,
(b) is disclosed by the disclosing party to third parties without restrictions
on disclosure or (c) is received by the receiving party from a third party
without breach of a nondisclosure obligation to the other party. The obligations
on nondisclosure set forth in this Section 12(b) will terminate two (2) years
after the date of this Agreement. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that
all of the confidential information is special and unique and in the event of a
breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 12(b), remedies
otherwise available at law may not be an adequate, sufficient or timely remedy.
Accordingly, each of the parties hereto expressly agrees that in the event of
any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 12(b) that, in
addition to all other remedies that may be available to either party, each of
the parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief as a
remedy for any such breach or threatened breach of this Section 12(b).

            (c) The Company will retain all books and records relating to the
Company's Video Business (whether or not such books and records also relate to
other business of the Company that are not being acquired by the Purchaser
hereunder) for ten (10) years (the "Retention Period"), during which time the
Company shall provide Purchaser access to all such books and records during
normal business hours upon Purchaser's reasonable request therefor. Subsequent
to the Retention Period, the Company shall dispose of or permit the disposal of
any such books and records not required to be retained under such policies
without first giving sixty (60) days' prior written notice to Purchaser offering
to surrender the same to Purchaser at


                                       46
<PAGE>

Purchaser's expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and shall
furnish or make available to Purchaser such books and records and any and all
other assistance as Purchaser may reasonably request relating to any matter
relating to Taxes or a governmental inquiry of investigation during the
Retention Period.

      13. [Intentionally Deleted.]

            (a) Conditions to Obligations of Each Party. The obligations of the

Related Agreements or the Company's Related Agreements; and no proceeding with

pending.

            (b) Conditions to Obligations of the Purchaser. All obligations of
the Purchaser hereunder are subject, at the option of Purchaser, to the

            Closing Date, and shall then be true and correct in all material
            respects.

            (ii) All covenants, agreements and obligations required by the terms
            of this Agreement to be performed by the Company at or before the

            Dollars and there shall be no material adverse change with respect
            to the Pro Forma Financial Statements, or the business or affairs of
            the Company or the Subsidiary.

            (v) All schedules required to be delivered to Purchaser at or prior
            to the Closing and all documents required to be delivered (and, as
            applicable, executed) at or prior to Closing, including but not
            limited to these documents described in Section 4(a)(i) -
            4(a)(xviii) above, shall have been so delivered (and, as applicable,
            executed).

            (vi) There shall be delivered to Purchaser a certificate executed by
            the President and Secretary of each of the Company and the
            Subsidiary, dated the date of the Closing, certifying that all of
            the conditions set forth in this Section 14(b) have been fulfilled.

            (i) All representations and warranties of Purchaser contained herein
            or in any schedule or document delivered pursuant hereto shall be
            true and correct in all material respects when made and shall be
            deemed to have been made again at and as of the Closing Date, and
            shall then be true and correct in all material respects.

            (ii) All covenants, agreements and obligations required by the terms
            of this Agreement to be performed by Purchaser at or before the
            Closing shall have been duly and properly performed in all material
            respects.

            (iii) There shall be delivered to the Company a certificate executed

                                       48
<PAGE>

            (iv) All Schedules, documents and other items required to be
            delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5(a) above at or prior to
            the Closing shall be so delivered.

      15. Holdback; Post-Closing Adjustments.

            (a) Holdback. Purchaser shall holdback an aggregate sum of
$1,000,000 (the "Holdback") from the Purchase Price payable to the Company;
$500,000 of which shall expressly relate to the provisions of Section 6(g),
including but not limited to the 1997 Projected Financial Statements (inclusive
of the 1997 Projected EBITDA) annexed hereto as Schedule 6(g).2, (the "Financial
Holdback"), and the remaining $500,000 shall relate to all of the other
representations, warranties and covenants of the Company set forth herein (the
"Other Holdback"). Each of the Financial Holdback and the Other Holdback shall
be disbursed to the Company and/or Purchaser, as the case may be, in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 15. Each of the Financial Holdback and the
Other Holdback shall be deposited by Purchaser on the date of Closing into
segregated escrow accounts, the Financial Holdback Escrow Account and the Other
Holdback Escrow Account, respectively, each of which escrow account shall be
held by the "Escrow Agent," as that term is defined in Section 16(b)(i) below,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 16(b)(iv) below. The Financial
Holdback shall remain on deposit in the Financial Holdback Escrow Account until
such time as the Purchaser's annual audit for its fiscal year ended December 31,
1997 is completed, but in no event any later than ninety (90) days after the
Closing, subject to the provisions of Section 15(b) below. The Other Holdback
shall remain in the Other Holdback Escrow Account until the one (1) year
anniversary from the Closing of this Agreement (the "Other Holdback Term").

            (b) Post-Closing Audit. Subsequent to the Closing Date, but in no
event later than ninety (90) days thereafter, Purchaser shall cause Deloitte &
Touche, LLP to effect and issue an audit, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense,
of the Company's 1997 Projected Financial Statements and the Projected Balance
Sheet (the "Audited 1997 Financials"). The audit shall be prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout
the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and
shall be a complete, accurate and a fair presentation of the financial condition
of the Company's Video Business (including the Subsidiary) as of the date
thereof and the results of operations for the period covered thereby. The
Company shall provide full access to Deloitte & Touche, LLP and otherwise fully
cooperate with such auditors in connection with the preparation of the audit,
and such cooperation shall include, without limitation, execution of the
required representation letters to Deloitte & Touche, LLP. After receipt of the
Audited 1997 Financials, each


                                       49
<PAGE>

of the Company and Purchaser shall have twenty (20) days to object (the
"Objection Period") in writing to the other with respect to any or all of the
amounts presented therein. In the event that the Company and Purchaser do not
object within the Objection Period, each of the Company and the Purchaser
expressly agrees that the Audited 1997 Financials shall be final and binding on
the parties. In the event that either the Company or Purchaser object, in good
faith, to any portion of the Audited 1997 Financials within the Objection
Period, Purchaser and the Company shall promptly attempt to resolve their
differences. In the event the dispute is not resolved within ten (10) days of
either party's written objection, either party may thereafter cause the dispute
to be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 21(h) below.

            (c) Application of Post-Closing Audit to Financial Holdback. After
the Audited 1997 Financials have become final and binding in accordance with the
provisions of Section 15(b) above, in the event that the Company's earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as set forth on the
Audited 1997 Financials (the "Audited EBITDA") is at least ninety-five percent
(95%) of the 1997 Projected EBITDA set forth on the 1997 Projected Financial
Statements there shall be no reduction whatsoever to the Financial Holdback and
the entire amount of the Financial Holdback, plus all accrued interest thereon,
shall immediately be disbursed from the Financial Holdback Escrow Account to the
Company. In the event that the Audited EBITDA is less than ninety-five percent
(95%) of the 1997 Projected EBITDA, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a
disbursement from the Financial Holdback Escrow Account equal to $2.00 for every
$1.00 by which Audited EBITDA is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of 1997
Projected EBITDA, plus the pro-rata share of accrued interest earned thereon.
Any portion of the Financial Holdback remaining thereafter in the Financial
Holdback Escrow Account shall be returned to the Company, plus the pro-rata
share of interest earned thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any reduction
in Audited EBITDA from 1997 Projected EBITDA because the 1997 Projected
Financial Statements have not been prepared, or the Company's books and records
have not been maintained, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied, shall not be deemed to reduce the Audited
EBITDA when compared to the 1997 Projected EBITDA and thus, shall not be
considered for purposes of this Section 15(c) in determining whether Purchaser
is entitled to any portion of the Financial Holdback.

            (d) Application of Other Holdback. The Other Holdback shall be
utilized for the purpose of reimbursing Purchaser for any other liability,
breach of a representation or warranty, or indemnity of the Company to Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement. In the event Purchaser is entitled to any such
reimbursement, the appropriate amount, together with the pro-rata share of the


                                       50
<PAGE>

interest earned on such amount, shall be disbursed to Purchaser from the Other
Holdback Escrow Account. Following the expiration of the Other Holdback Term,
the remainder of the Other Holdback not then subject to any reimbursement
claims, if any, together with all interest earned on such remainder, shall be
disbursed from the Other Holdback Escrow Account to the Company, together with
the pro-rata share of the interest earned thereon. If the amount to which
Purchaser is entitled to reimbursement exceeds the Other Holdback, and Purchaser
elects to utilize the Other Holdback to reimburse it up to the maximum extent
possible, the Other Holdback, together with all interest earned thereon shall be
disbursed to Purchaser from the Other Holdback Escrow Account and the Company
shall, within ten (10) business days thereafter, remit to Purchaser the amount
by which the Purchaser is entitled to receive reimbursement in excess of the
Other Holdback.

            (e) Tax Allocation of Escrow Interest. All taxes in respect of the
interest earned with respect to the Holdback and the Earn Out Deposit shall be
paid by the party entitled to receive same.

      16. (a) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to
the Closing Date as follows:

            (i) by the written agreement of Purchaser and the Company;

            (ii) by the Purchaser by written notice to the Company if (A) the
            representations and warranties of the Company shall not have been
            true and correct in all material respects (in the case of any
            representation or warranty without any materiality qualification) as
            of the date when made or (B) if any of the conditions precedent set
            forth in Section 14(b) herein shall not have been, or if it becomes
            apparent that any of such conditions will not be fulfilled, or (C)
            any of the Pro Forma Financial Statements are not materially true
            and correct unless such failure shall be due to the failure of
            Purchaser to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements
            or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to
            the Closing, then in any such event the provisions of Section
            16(b)(ii) shall automatically apply;

            (iii) by the Company by written notice to Purchaser if (A) the
            representations and warranties of Purchaser shall not have been true
            and correct in all material respects (in the case of any
            representation or warranty containing any materiality qualification)
            as of the date when made, (B) if any of the conditions precedent set
            forth in Section 14(c) herein shall not have been, or if it becomes
            apparent that any of such conditions


                                       51
<PAGE>

            will not be fulfilled, unless such failure shall be due to the
            failure of the Company to perform or comply with any of the
            covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or
            complied with by it prior to the Closing, or (C) Purchaser shall
            have failed to make the Second Prepayment hereunder when same is due
            and owing, then in any such event the provisions of Section
            16(b)(iii) shall apply; or

            (iv) by the Company or Purchaser at any time for any reason
            whatsoever, or for no reason at all, by giving written notice to the
            other party, provided that in the event that the Purchaser is the
            party giving such written notice pursuant to this Section 16(a)(iv),
            the provisions of Section 16(b)(iii) shall apply, and similarly, in
            the event that the Company is the party giving notice hereunder, the
            provisions of Section 16(b)(ii) shall apply.

            (b) Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to any of the provisions of Section 16(a) hereof, this
Agreement shall become null and void and have no further force and effect,
without any liability in respect hereof or of the transactions contemplated
hereby on the part of any party hereto, or any of the directors, officers,
employees, agents, consultants, representatives, advisers, stockholders or
Affiliates of any party hereto, except as follows:

            (i) [Intentionally Deleted]

            (ii) In the event that the Purchaser terminates this Agreement in
            accordance with Section 16(a)(ii) above, the Company shall
            immediately deliver to Purchaser $500,000 U.S. Dollars by wire
            transfer no later than the third (3rd) business day after any such
            termination; provided that in the event that Purchaser terminates
            this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section
            16(a)(ii) and the provisions of Section 15(c) are not applicable, in
            addition to the provisions of this Section 16(b)(ii), the Company
            shall also immediately return to Purchaser by wire transfer no later
            than the third (3rd) business day after such termination, all
            Prepayments theretofore made by Purchaser to the Company.

            (iii) In the event that the Company terminates this Agreement in
            accordance with Section 16(a)(iii) above, or the Company terminates
            this Agreement in accordance with Section 16(a)(iv) above, the
            Company shall, in addition to retaining all Prepayments theretofore
            delivered to Company by Purchaser, receive immediately


                                       52
<PAGE>

            from Purchaser $500,000 U.S. Dollars by wire transfer no later than
            the third (3rd) business day after such termination; provided,
            however, that in the event Purchaser's failure under Section
            16(a)(iii)(B) is solely related to its delivery obligations under
            Section 5(a)(i) or the Company is terminating this Agreement in
            accordance with Section 16(a)(iii)(C), then notwithstanding the
            foregoing, Company's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to retain
            all Prepayments theretofore received hereunder as liquidated damages
            (including, if applicable, the Third Prepayment delivered into
            escrow in accordance with the hold-back provision in Section 15
            above which shall immediately be released).

            (iv) The Escrow Agent shall also maintain the Financial Holdback
            Escrow Account, the Other Holdback Escrow Account, and the Earn Out
            Escrow Account pursuant to separate escrow agreements to be
            established and entered into by the parties upon the Closing in
            accordance with the provisions hereof. The "Trade Payables Escrow
            Account" as that term is defined in Section 18 below shall be
            maintained by an Italian bank to be mutually determined in good
            faith by the Company and Purchaser (the "Italian Escrow Agent").

            (v) Any escrow account established pursuant to Section 16(b)(iv)
            above shall be an interest bearing account. The funds in any such
            escrow account shall be invested solely in money market accounts in
            U.S. treasury securities, money market accounts in banks having
            combined capital, surplus and individual profits of at least
            $50,000,000, or a government securities fund.

      17. Right to Designate Director. Simultaneously upon the Closing, the
Company shall have the option to designate one (1) individual (which individual
shall be subject to the absolute approval of Purchaser) to be elected to
Purchaser's board of directors as a director in accordance with Purchaser's
by-laws.

      18. Trade Payables Escrow Account. Upon the Closing of this Agreement,
pursuant to an agreement be entered into with the Italian Escrow Agent (the
"Trade Payables Escrow Agreement"), Purchaser shall deposit into a segregated
interest bearing escrow account (the "Trade Payables Escrow Account") an amount
representing those Trade Payables that the Purchaser is obligated to pay
hereunder but will not actually be paid by Purchaser within thirty (30) days
from the Closing Date (the "Trade Payables Deposit"). The Trade Payables Deposit
shall be held by the Italian Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of
Section 16(b)(iv) above and the provisions hereinbelow set forth. The Trade
Payables shall be paid on a timely basis by Purchaser


                                       53
<PAGE>

and Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company with
respect to any interest and penalties arising out of Purchaser's failure to pay
the Trade Payables on a timely basis. From time to time, the Purchaser shall
cause the Italian Escrow Agent to disburse portions of the Trade Payables
Deposit to those vendors and suppliers who are entitled to same; provided,
however that the entire Trade Payables Deposit shall be disbursed no later than
eighteen (18) months subsequent to the Closing Date. To the extent there remains
any amount of the Trade Payables Deposit as a consequence of Purchaser settling
any Agreed Upon Accounts Payable with a vendor or supplier for less than the
amount set forth on Schedule 1(b).1, any such remaining amount of the Trade
Payables Deposit shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Purchaser. All
interest earned with respect to the Trade Payables Deposit shall be the property
of the Purchaser and Purchaser shall be responsible for all taxes in connection
therewith.

      19. Earn Out. The Purchaser shall, pursuant to an agreement to be entered
into with the Escrow Agent (the "Earn Out Escrow Agreement") deposit the Earn
Out Deposit upon the Closing into a segregated interest bearing escrow account
(the "Earn Out Escrow Account") to be held by the Escrow Agent for twelve (12)
months subsequent to the Closing Date (the "Escrow Term") in accordance with the
provisions of Section 16(b)(iv) above and the provisions hereinbelow set forth.
Until such time as the Purchaser sells during the Escrow Term Five Hundred (500)
of the Company's "Helios" projectors (the "Base Amount") at prices and upon such
terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Company
from time to time, the Company shall not be entitled to any of the Earn Out
Deposit. At such time as the Purchaser has effected the sale of the Base Amount
during the Escrow Term in the manner described in the immediately preceding
sentence, for each sale of a Helios projector or two (2) of the Company's "CRT"
projectors sold thereafter during the Escrow Term at a price and upon terms and
conditions to be mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Company from time
to time (one (1) Helios projector or two (2) CRT projectors, after achieving the
Base Amount, is hereinafter referred to as a "Qualifying Unit"), the Company
shall be entitled to receive from the Earn Out Escrow Account an amount equal to
 .1111% of the Earn Out Deposit until such time as nine hundred (900 ) Qualifying
Units have been sold, provided, however, that subsequent to achieving the Base
Amount, no more than five hundred (500) Qualifying Units shall be sales of CRT
projectors . Purchaser shall cause the Escrow Agent to pay to the Company the
requisite portion of the Earn Out Deposit from the Earn Out Escrow Account at
such time and from time to time as the Company is entitled to receive at least
$200,000 with respect to sales of Qualifying Units in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 19; provided, however, that in the event that
Purchaser and the Company enter into certain agreements mutually acceptable to
Purchaser and the Company with


                                       54
<PAGE>

Mr. Giovanni Cozzi and James Wellnick pursuant to which the Company is obligated
to make certain payments Messrs. Cozzi and Wellnick, the first such $200,000
payment due and owing to the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Section 19 shall be reduced by up to $150,000 as consideration for any
payments made by Purchaser on the Company's behalf to Messrs. Cozzi and Wellnick
pursuant to the aforementioned agreements entered into by the Purchaser and the
Company with each of them on or prior to the Closing Date (i.e., by way of
example, in the event that this proviso is applicable, and in the event that the
first payment that the Company would be entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section 19 would be $210,000, the Company will receive instead $60,000, but will
be deemed to have received, for the purposes of this Section 19, $210,000). The
Purchaser shall cause any payment required to the made to the Company pursuant
to the terms and conditions of this Section 19 to be made promptly subsequent to
the Company achieving the requisite sales of Qualifying Units. It is agreed and
understood that the Earn Out provisions of this Section 19 are subject to
sufficient capital being available to effect the sale in a timely manner of
Units for which the Company has actually received orders; it being agreed and
understood that in the event that there is insufficient capital to effect sales
of Units for which the Company has actually received orders, the parties will,
in good faith, resolve to modify the provisions of this Section 19 as
appropriate. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon a resolution
with respect to the foregoing, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with
the provisions of Section 21(h) below. The Earn Out Escrow Account shall
automatically terminate and be liquidated on the expiration of the Escrow Term.
All interest earned on the Earn Out Deposit and any amount of the Earn Out
Deposit remaining upon the termination and liquidation of the Earn Out Escrow
Account, including all interest with respect thereto, shall be the sole and
exclusive property of the Purchaser and the Company shall have no rights of any
nature whatsoever with respect thereto. Accordingly, the Purchaser shall be
responsible for all taxes payable in connection with the interest earned on the
Earn Out Deposit.

      20. Notices. Any and all notices, demands or requests required or

                                    AGREEMENT

      AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), by and between Projectavision, Inc., a
Delaware corporation having its principal office at Two Penn Plaza, Suite 640,
New York, NY 10121 ("Projectavision"), and Vidikron Industries, S.p.A., an
Italian corporation having its principal office at Via Dei Guasti, 29 20020
Misuito (Milano), Italy (the "Company").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

      WHEREAS, Projectavision and the Company have entered into that certain
Agreement of Purchase and Sale of Assets dated January 20, 1998 (the "Asset
Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Projectavision is purchasing certain
assets of Company.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement and in this Agreement, and for other
good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby mutually
acknowledged, the parties hereto agrees as follows:

      1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Asset Purchase
Agreement, upon the "Closing" (as that term is defined in the Asset Purchase
Agreement) of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Projectavision agrees to assume the
existing, unsecured bank indebtedness of the Company's eighty-five percent (85%)
owned subsidiary, Vidikron of America, Inc. (the "Subsidiary") in the principal
amount of approximately One Million Two Hundred Thousand ($1,200,000) Dollars
with P&C Bank as set forth on Schedule 1 annexed hereto (the "Subsidiary's Bank
Debt").

      2. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement,
upon the Closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, in the event that the
principal amount of the Subsidiary's Bank Debt on the Closing is less than or
exceeds One Million Two Hundred Thousand ($1,200,000) Dollars the "Purchase
Price" (as that term is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) shall either be
increased or reduced accordingly, on a dollar-for-dollar basis. By way of
example, in the event that the principal amount of the Subsidiary's Bank Debt on
the Closing Date is One Million Three Hundred Thousand ($1,300,000) Dollars, the
Purchase Price shall be reduced by One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars to
One Million Nine Hundred Thousand ($1,900,000) Dollars. Similarly, in the event
that the principal amount of the Subsidiary's Bank Debt on the Closing Date is
One Million One Hundred Thousand ($1,100,000) Dollars, the Purchase Price shall
be increased by One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars to Two Million One
Hundred Thousand ($2,100,000) Dollars.

      3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall occur only in the event of
<PAGE>

the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement,
whereupon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall occur simultaneously therewith.

      4. Except as expressly set forth herein, all of the terms and conditions
of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

      5. Assumption by Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, Projectavision may cause some or all of the Subsidiary's Bank
Debt to be acquired hereunder by one (1) or more affiliates of Projectavision;
provided, however, that Projectavision shall remain liable, jointly and
severally, with any such affiliate(s) for any and all obligations under this
Agreement. The term "affiliates" as used in this Section 5 shall have the same
meaning as set forth under the definition of "affiliates" in Rule 405 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

      6. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which together
shall be considered a single instrument.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

due and payable with respect to such tax, Seller shall have the sole
responsibility for, and hereby indemnifies Purchaser, with respect thereto.

instruments to be delivered to the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") or any other Governmental Authority, Purchaser's lenders,

      5. Purchaser's Obligations at Closing. (a) At the Closing, Purchaser

as applicable, execute):

            (i) the Purchase Price as provided in Section 2(a) hereof;

            (ii) a certified copy of resolutions adopted by the Board of
            Directors of Purchaser authorizing the execution, delivery and
            performance of this Agreement and Purchaser's Related Agreements (as
            defined in Section 7(a) hereof); and

            (iii) all other documents and instruments required to be delivered
            to Seller pursuant to the provision of this Agreement.

            (b) At any time and from time to time after the Closing, at Seller's
request and expense, Purchaser shall execute and deliver such other additional
instruments as Seller may reasonably deem necessary to evidence Purchaser's
obligations under this Agreement, and Purchaser agrees to take such actions as
may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intentions of this
Agreement. For a reasonable period of time following the Closing, Purchaser
shall provide Seller with reasonable access to all books and records of Seller
that are delivered to Purchaser hereunder relating to Seller's Assets and the
period through the Closing Date.

      6. Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller represents and
warrants to Purchaser, as follows:

            (a) Organization, Standing and Qualification. Seller (i) is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of The Isle of Mann; and (ii) has all requisite corporate power and authority
and is entitled to carry on its business as now being conducted and to own,
lease or operate its properties in the places where such business is now
conducted and such properties are now owned, leased or operated.

            (b) Execution, Delivery and Performance of Agreement; Authority.
Except as set forth on Schedule 6(b) annexed hereto, neither the execution,
delivery nor performance of this Agreement and all other agreements to which
Seller is a party required to be delivered by Seller, pursuant to Section 4(a)
hereof (which documents are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as
"Seller's Related Agreements") by Seller will, with or without the giving of
notice or the passage of time, or both, conflict with, result in a default,
right to accelerate or loss of rights under, or result in the creation of any
lien, charge or encumbrance pursuant to any provision of Seller's certificate of
incorporation or by-laws or any


                                      -5-
<PAGE>

franchise, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, license, agreement, Applicable Law,
rule or regulation or any order, judgment or decree to which Seller is a party
or by which it may be bound or materially or adversely affected or require any
consent, authorization, approval or any other action by, or any notice to, or
filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority or other third party. No
Consent is required to be obtained or made by Seller in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Seller's Related Agreements and
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller has the full power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and, as applicable, Seller's Related
Agreements and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable,
all proceedings required to be taken by them to authorize and approve the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and Seller's Related
Agreements have been properly taken, and this Agreement and Seller's Related
Agreements constitute valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to the
effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
similar law affecting creditors' rights generally. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and Seller's Related Agreements have been duly
authorized, to the extent required by Applicable Law and by all requisite
corporate and shareholder action of Seller, if necessary.

            (c) Taxes. Except as set forth on Schedule 6(c) annexed hereto, all
Taxes with respect to Seller's Assets imposed by Great Britain, or by any other
country or by any state, municipality, subdivision or instrumentality of Great
Britain or of any other country, or by any other taxing authority, which are due
or payable by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, and all interest and penalties
thereon, whether disputed or not, have been paid in full; all tax returns
required to be filed in connection therewith have been accurately prepared and
duly and timely filed prior to the expiration of any available extension
periods. As used in this Agreement, "Taxes" shall include, without limitation,
all federal, state, provincial, local, foreign or other income, alternative
minimum, accumulated earnings, add-on, personal holding company, franchise,
capital stock, net worth, capital, profits, gross receipt, value added, sales,

<PAGE>

            (d) Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 6(d) annexed hereto,
there is no claim, charge, legal action, suit, arbitration or other legal or
administrative proceeding (or governmental investigation) with respect to
Seller's Assets for which Seller has received service of process or written
notice of any nature in respect thereof, or any order, decree or judgment in
progress, pending or in effect, or, to the best knowledge of Seller, threatened
against or relating to Seller's Assets, knows or has reason to be aware of any
basis for the same.

            (e) Compliance with Laws and Other Instruments. Except as set forth
in Schedule 6(e) annexed hereto, Seller, to the best of its knowledge, has
complied in all material respects with all existing laws, rules, regulations,
ordinances, orders, judgments and decrees now or hereafter applicable to
Seller's Assets. Neither the ownership nor use of Seller's Assets conflicts with
the rights of any other person, firm or corporation, or violates, or with or
without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, will violate,
conflict with or result in a default, right to accelerate or loss of rights
under, any terms or provisions of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws as
presently in effect, or any lien, encumbrance, mortgage, deed of trust, lease,
license, agreement, understanding, law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or any
order, judgment or decree to which it is a party or by which it may be bound or
affected.

            (f) Title to Properties. Seller has good and marketable title to
Seller's Assets. Except as set forth on Schedule 6(f) annexed hereto, none of
Seller's Assets are subject to any loan agreement, conditional sale or title
retention agreement, equipment obligation, lease purchase agreement, mortgage,
indenture, pledge, security agreement, guaranty, lien, charge, security
interest, encumbrance, restriction, lease, license, easement, liability or
adverse claim of any nature whatsoever (excluding trade and account payables),
direct or indirect, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise
(collectively, "Encumbrances").

            (g) Intellectual Property.

            (i) Title. Seller owns, free and clear, all Intellectual Property,
            free from any Encumbrances and free from any requirement of any
            past, present or future royalty payments, license fees, charges or
            other payments, or conditions or restrictions whatsoever.

            (ii) Transfer. Immediately after the Closing, Purchaser will own all
            of the Intellectual Property and will have the right to use all
            Intellectual Property, free from any liens and on the same terms of
            any person in effect prior to the Closing.


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

            (iii) No Infringement. To the best knowledge of Seller, the conduct
            of the Seller's business does not infringe or otherwise conflict
            with any rights of any person in respect of any Intellectual
            Property.

            (iv) Licensing Arrangements. Schedule 6(g)(iv) annexed hereto sets
            forth all material agreements, arrangements or laws (A) pursuant to
            which Seller has licensed Intellectual Property to, or the use of
            Intellectual Property is otherwise permitted (through non-assertion,
            settlement or similar agreements or otherwise) by, any other party
            and (B) pursuant to which Seller has had Intellectual Property
            licensed to it, or has otherwise been permitted to use Intellectual
            Property. All of the agreements or arrangements set forth on
            Schedule 6(g)(iv) annexed hereto (x) are in full force and effect in
            accordance with their terms and no default exists thereunder by
            Seller, or to the knowledge of Seller, by any other party thereto,
            (y) are free and clear of all liens, and (z) do not contain any
            change in control or other terms or conditions that will become
            applicable or inapplicable as a result of the consummation of the
            transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller has delivered to
            the Purchaser true and complete copies of all licenses and
            arrangements (including amendments) set forth on Schedule 6(g)(iv)
            annexed hereto. Set forth on Schedule 6(g)(iv) annexed hereto is a
            list of all royalties, license fees, charges and other amounts
            currently payable by, on behalf of, to, or for the account of,
            Seller in respect of any Intellectual Property.

            (v) No Intellectual Property Litigation. No claim or demand has been
            received nor is there any proceeding that is pending, or to the
            knowledge of Seller, threatened, which (A) challenges the rights of
            Seller in respect of any Intellectual Property, (B) asserts that
            Seller is infringing or otherwise in conflict with, or is, except as
            set forth on Schedule 6(g)(v) annexed hereto, required to pay any
            royalty, license fee, charge or other amount with regard to, any
            Intellectual Property, or (C) claims that any default exists under
            any agreement or arrangement listed on Schedule 6(g)(v) annexed
            hereto. None of the Intellectual Property is subject to any
            outstanding order, ruling, decree, judgment or stipulation by or
            with any court, arbitrator, or administrative agency.

            (vi) Due Registration, Etc. The Owned Intellectual Property has been
            duly registered with, filed in or issued by, as the case may be, in
            the appropriate


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

            filing offices of those countries listed on Schedule 1(a)(i) hereto,
            and Seller has taken such other actions, to ensure full protection
            under any applicable laws or regulations, and such registrations,
            filings, issuances and other actions remain in full force and
            effect.

            (h) Disclosure. No representation or warranty by Seller contained in
this Agreement or in any other document furnished or to be furnished by Seller
in connection herewith or pursuant hereto contains or will contain any untrue
statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state any material fact
required to make the statements herein or therein contained not misleading or
necessary in order to provide a prospective purchaser of Seller's Assets with
adequate information as to Seller's Assets, and Seller has disclosed to
Purchaser in writing all material adverse facts known to them related to the
same. The representations and warranties contained in this Section 6 shall not
be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that Purchaser and/or its
representatives should have known that any such representation or warranty is or
might be inaccurate in any respect.

      7. Representations and Warranties by Purchaser. Purchaser represents and
warrants to Seller as follows:

            (a) Organization. Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has
full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and all other
agreements to which Purchaser is a party required to be delivered by Purchaser
pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof (which documents are hereinafter sometimes
collectively referred to as "Purchaser's Related Agreements") and to carry out
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser has delivered to
Seller copies of Purchaser's certificate of incorporation, and all amendments
thereto, and the by-laws of Purchaser as presently in effect, each certified as
true and correct by Purchaser's secretary.

            (b) Execution, Delivery and Performance of Agreement. Neither the
execution, delivery nor performance of this Agreement and Purchaser's Related
Agreements by Purchaser will, with or without the giving of notice or the
passage of time, or both, conflict with, result in a default, right to
accelerate or loss of rights under, or result in the creation of any lien,
charge or encumbrance pursuant to any provision of Purchaser's certificate of
incorporation or by-laws or any franchise, mortgage, deed of trust, lease,
license, agreement, understanding, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or any
order, judgment or decree to which Purchaser is a party or by which it may be
bound or affected. Purchaser has the full power and

contemplated hereby, all proceedings required to be taken by Purchaser to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
Purchaser's Related Agreements have been properly taken, and this Agreement and
Purchaser's Related Agreements constitute the valid and binding obligations of
Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except that
such enforcement may be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar law affecting creditors'
rights generally.

      8. Indemnification. (a) Seller hereby indemnifies, defends and holds
Purchaser harmless from, against and in respect of (and shall, subject to the
other provisions of this Agreement, on demand reimburse Purchaser for):

            (i) any and all loss, liability or damage suffered or incurred by
            Purchaser by reason of any untrue representation, breach of warranty
            or nonfulfillment of any covenant by Seller contained herein or in
            any certificate, document or instrument delivered by Seller to
            Purchaser hereunder;

            (ii) any and all loss, liability or damage suffered or incurred by
            Purchaser in respect of or in connection with any liabilities with
            respect to Seller's Assets;

            (iii) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands,
            assessments, judgments, costs and expenses, including, without
            limitation, reasonable legal fees, court costs and expenses,
            incident to (i) or (ii) above or (iv) below; and

            (iv) any and all loss, liability or damage suffered or incurred by
            Purchaser by reason of or in connection with any claim for finder's
            fee or brokerage or other commission arising by reason of any
            services alleged to have been rendered to or at the instance of
            Seller with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions
            contemplated hereby.

            (b) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from,
against and in respect of (and shall, subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement, on demand reimburse them for):

            (i) any and all loss, liability or damage suffered or incurred by
            Seller by reason of or resulting from any untrue representation,
            breach of warranty or non- fulfillment of any covenant or agreement
            by Purchaser


                                      -10-
<PAGE>

            contained herein or in any certificate, document or instrument
            delivered to Seller hereunder;

            (ii) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands,
            assessments, judgments, costs and expenses, including, without
            limitation, reasonable legal fees, court costs and expenses,
            incident to (i) or (ii) above or (iv) below or incurred in
            investigating or attempting to avoid the same or to oppose the
            imposition thereof, or in enforcing this indemnity; and

            (iii) any and all actual loss, liability or damage suffered or
            incurred by Seller by reason of or in connection with any claim for
            finder's fee or brokerage or other commission arising by reason of
            any services alleged to have been rendered to or at the instance of
            Purchaser with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions
            contemplated hereby.

            (c) If a claim by a third party is made against a party hereto (an
"Indemnified Party"), and if an Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with
respect thereto under this Section 8, the Indemnified Party shall promptly
notify in writing the party required to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant
to this Section 8 (an "Indemnifying Party") of such claim (the "Indemnity
Notice"); provided, however, that failure by an Indemnified Party to notify an
Indemnifying Party of such claim shall not effect the Indemnified Party's right
to seek indemnification so long as the Indemnifying Party is not materially
prejudiced by such failure to have been notified of such claim. The Indemnifying
Party shall have ten (10) days after receipt of the Indemnity Notice to
undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its
expense, but reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, the settlement or
defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection
therewith; provided, however, that with respect to settlements entered into by
the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the release of the
claiming party in favor of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party
undertakes, conducts and controls the settlement or defense of such claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such
settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, providing
that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified
Party. With respect to indemnification provided for hereunder, the Indemnified
Party shall not pay or settle any such claim so long as the Indemnifying Party
is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
pay or settle any such


                                      -11-
<PAGE>

claims, provided that in such event it shall waive any right to indemnity
therefor by the Indemnifying Party.

            (d) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9(c), if the
Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15)
days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party's notice of a claim of indemnity
hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim in the exercise
of its good faith reasonable judgment at the expense of the Indemnifying Party
subject to the other terms and provisions of this Section 8.

      9. Nature and Survival of Representations and Warranties; Rules Regarding
         Indemnification and Other Actions.

            (a) All statements, representations, warranties and indemnities made
by each of the parties hereto (and in any schedule or exhibit annexed hereto)
are and shall be true and correct as of the date hereof, and each of them shall
survive until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing.

      10. Access to Information and Documents. Seller will retain all books and
records relating to Seller's Assets for ten (10) years (the "Retention Period")
during which time Seller shall provide Purchaser access to all such books and
records during normal business upon Purchaser's reasonable request therefor.
Subsequent to the Retention Period, Seller shall not dispose of or permit the
disposal of any such books and records without first giving sixty (60) days'
prior written notice to Purchaser offering to surrender the same to Purchaser at
Purchaser's expense. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and shall furnish
or make available to Purchaser such books and records and any and all other
assistance as Purchaser may reasonably request relating to any matter relating
to Taxes or any governmental inquiry or investigation during the Retention
Period.

      11. Notices. Any and all notices, demands or requests required or
permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing and sent,

expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party or parties incurring the same.

            (g) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each

constitute one and the same instrument.

            (h) This Agreement and all amendments hereto shall be governed by,
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York without reference to principles of conflict of laws. Each of the parties
hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the Federal and

            (i) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such
provision, only to the extent it is invalid or unenforceable, and shall not in
any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other severable
provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be carried out as if any
such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein.

            (j) Seller agrees that, without the prior written consent of
Purchaser, unless otherwise required by law, none of such parties shall make or

                           CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

                                       OF

                      CONVERTIBLE SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK

                                       OF

                              PROJECTAVISION, INC.

      Projectavision, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), does
hereby certify that the Board of Directors of the Corporation duly adopted a
resolution at a meeting duly convened on June 11, 1997, at which a quorum was
present and acting throughout, and that such resolution has not been amended,
modified, or rescinded, and is now in full force and effect providing for the
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights,
and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the
Corporation's Preferred Stock, which resolution is as follows:

      RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of
Directors by Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation, and pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the rights, preferences and
designations of the authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock shall
hereafter be as follows:

      Section 1. Designation. One Thousand (1,000) shares of Preferred Stock are
hereby designated as Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Stock"). The rights, preferences, privileges and qualifications, limitations and
restrictions of the Preferred Stock are set forth in Sections 2 through 7 of
this Resolution. The rights, preferences, privileges and qualifications,
limitations and restrictions of the remaining shares of Preferred Stock shall be
determined by the board of Directors, from time to time after the date of the
adoption of this Resolution, pursuant to the provisions of Article Fourth of the
Certificate of Incorporation.

      Section 2. Dividends. The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive if, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor, cumulative dividends, payable in cash or common stock of the
Corporation, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") at the
Corporation's election, at the rate of 8% per annum of the Liquidation Value of
the Preferred Stock until and through July 1, 2000. The dividend is payable
annually within seven (7)
<PAGE>

business days after each December 31st of each year, commencing December 31,
1997 (each, a "Dividend Declaration Date"). Dividends shall be paid only with
respect to shares of Preferred Stock actually issued and outstanding on a
Dividend Declaration Date and to the holders of record as of the Dividend
Declaration Date. Dividends shall accrue from the first day of the annual period
in which such dividend may be payable, except with respect to the first annual
dividend which shall accrue from the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock,
July 1, 1997. In the event that the Corporation elects to pay dividends in
Common Stock (which shares of Common Stock must be freely traded), each holder
of Preferred Stock shall receive shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of
(i) the product of 8% multiplied by the Liquidation Value of the Preferred Stock
outstanding on the applicable Dividend Declaration Date divided by (ii) the
average of the closing bid quotation of the Common Stock as reported on the
over-the-counter market, or the closing sale price if listed on a national
exchange, for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Dividend
Declaration Date (the "Stock Dividend Price").

      Section 3. Conversion. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) below,
the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the
"Conversion Rights"):

                  (a) Right to Convert. Subject to the provisions of Section
3(b) below, the Preferred Stock shall be convertible as follows:

                        (i) Up to Two Hundred Fifty (250) shares of Preferred
            Stock (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends) may be converted at
            the Conversion Price (as that term is defined in Section 3(b) below)
            at any time on or after August 15, 1997:

                        (ii) Up to an additional Two Hundred Fifty (250) shares
            of Preferred Stock (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends) may be
            converted at the Conversion Price at any time on or after October
            15, 1997;

                        (iii) Up to an additional Two Hundred Fifty (250) shares
            of Preferred Stock (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends) may be
            converted at the Conversion Price on or after December 15, 1997; and

                        (iv) The remaining Two Hundred Fifty (250) shares of
            Preferred Stock (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends) may be
            converted at the Conversion Price at any time on or after February
            15, 1998.


                                        2
<PAGE>

                  (b) Limitation on Conversion Rights. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 3(a) above, in the event that the conversion of any shares
of outstanding Preferred Stock would result in a holder of Preferred Stock
owning, in the aggregate (along with any other securities that may now or
hereafter be owned or acquired by the holder), more than 4.99% of all of the
then issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company, such shares of
Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into shares of Common Stock until such
time as the conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock would result in the
holder owning, in the aggregate (along with any other securities that may now or
hereafter be owned or acquired by the holder), no more than 4.99% of the then
issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

                  (c) Automatic Conversion. All unconverted shares of Preferred
Stock on the three (3) year anniversary date of the date of the "Closing" (as
that term is defined in that certain Subscription and Purchase Agreement by and
between the Company and the Subscriber), along with all accrued and unpaid
dividends, shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the
Conversion Price.

                  (d) Conversion Price. As used herein, the term Conversion
Price shall be the product of (i) the average closing bid quotation of the
Common Stock as reported on the over-the-counter market, or the closing sale
price if listed on a national securities exchange, for the five (5) trading days
immediately preceding the date of the Conversion Notice referred to in Section
3(e) below multiplied by (ii).75. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion
Price shall, in no event, be less than $1.50 (the "Minimum Conversion Price");
provided, however, that the Minimum Conversion Price shall be subject to
reduction as follows: (i) in the event that during the period commencing June 1,
1997 through December 31, 1997 (the "Adjustment Period") the Corporation fails
to ship 2,500 projectors (i.e., 417 projectors per month, the "Monthly
Shipment") or fails to receive $12,500,000 in projector revenues (i.e.,
$2,085,000 per month, the "Monthly Revenues") then, the Minimum Conversion Price
shall be reduced by $.50; provided, however, that in the event that the Company
fails to either ship during any month of the Adjustment Period, the Monthly
Shipment, or fails to generate during any month of the Adjustment Period the
Monthly Revenues, the Minimum Conversion Price shall be reduced by $.083 (the
"Monthly Reduction"); provided, further, that in any month after there has been
one or more Monthly Reductions during the Adjustment Period (a "Subsequent
Month"), the aggregate Monthly Shipments during the Adjustment Period or the
aggregate Monthly Revenues during the Adjustment Period equal or exceed the
shipments or revenues, as the case may be, that the Company was required to have
achieved, on a cumulative basis, as of any such Subsequent Month, then
notwithstanding any reduction in the Minimum Conversion Price due to the fact
that the Company previously failed to


                                        3
<PAGE>

achieve either the Monthly Shipments or Monthly Revenues for a particular month
or months, the Minimum Conversion Price shall be restored to $1.50 until such
time that the Company fails to achieve Monthly Shipments and Monthly Revenues
during a month during the Adjustment Period, in which event, the Minimum
Conversion Price shall be appropriately reduced by the Monthly Reduction,
subject to the foregoing provisions.

                  (e) Mechanics of Conversion. Failure to Convert Any holder of
Preferred Stock who wishes to exercise its Conversion Rights pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Section 3, must surrender the certificate therefor at the
principal executive office of the Corporation, and give written notice, which
may be via facsimile transmission, to the Corporation at its principal executive
office that it elects to convert the same (the "Conversion Notice"). No
Conversion Notice with respect to any shares of Preferred Stock can be given
prior to the time such shares of Preferred Stock are eligible for conversion in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3(a) above. Any such premature
Conversion Notice shall automatically be null and void. The Corporation shall,
within five (5) business day after receipt of an appropriate and timely
Conversion Notice (the "Conversion Deadline"), issue to such holder of Preferred
Stock a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder
shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made only after
both the certificate for the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted have been
surrendered and the Conversion Notice is received by the Corporation (the
"Conversion Documents"), and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder of such shares of Common Stock at and after such time. In the
event that the Conversion Notice is sent via facsimile transmission, the
Corporation shall be deemed to have received such Conversion Notice on the first
business day on which such facsimile Conversion Notice is actually received,
provided that the necessary certificates are actually received by the
Corporation within two (2) business days thereafter.

      In the event that the Corporation fails to deliver to holder any of the
shares of Common Stock entitled to be delivered pursuant to a conversion of
Preferred Stock on or prior to the Conversion Deadline, then in such event, in
addition to the Corporation's obligation to deliver said shares of Common Stock,
the Corporation shall also be obligated to pay to holder, for each business day
after the Conversion Deadline that it fails to deliver the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Preferred Stock requested to be converted (the "Unconverted
Preferred Stock"), a penalty, as liquidated damages, equal to one percent (1%)
of the outstanding face amount of the Unconverted Preferred Stock payable in
cash or shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder.


                                        4
<PAGE>

                  (f) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Stock Dividends and
for Combinations or Subdivisions of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time
or from time to time while shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding
shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the 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 stock split,
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock or
in any right to acquire Common Stock), or if the outstanding shares of Common
Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into
a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect
immediately before such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate. If the
Corporation shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the
Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration,
then the Corporation shall be deemed to have made a dividend payable in Common
Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon
exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.

                  (g) Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization. If
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be
changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or
classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in
paragraph (f) of this Section 3), the Conversion Price then in effect shall,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification,
be proportionately adjusted so that the Preferred Stock shall be convertible
into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would
otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class
or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that
would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock immediately before that change.

                  (h) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of
its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the
provisions of this Section 3 and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the
holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment. The provisions of this
paragraph (h) may be waived by the


                                        5
<PAGE>

affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock voting together as a single class and taken in advance
of any action that would conflict with this paragraph (h).

                  (i) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment or readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3,
the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each
holder of Preferred Stock a notice setting forth such adjustment or readjustment
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based.

                  (j) Notices of Record Date. If the Corporation shall propose
at any time: (i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock,
whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, other than a regular cash
dividend out of earnings or earned surplus or a dividend as to which adjustment
of the Conversion Price will be made under paragraph (f) of this Section 3; (ii)
to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its
stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights;
(iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock
outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock other than one as to which
adjustments of the Conversion Price will be made under paragraph (f) of this
Section 3; or (iv) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation,
or sell all or substantially all of its assets, or to liquidate, dissolve or
wind up; then, in connection with such event, the Corporation shall send to the
holders of the Preferred Stock;

                        (1)   at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of
                              the date on which a record shall be taken for such
                              dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and
                              specifying the date on which the holders of Common
                              Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for
                              determining rights;

                              to vote, if any, in respect of the matters
                              referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv) above; and

                        (2)   in the case of the matters referred to in clauses
                              (iii) and (iv) above, at least ten (10) days'
                              prior written notice of the date when the same
                              shall take place (and specifying the date on which
                              the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
                              exchange their Common Stock for securities or
                              other property deliverable upon the occurrence of
                              such event).


                                        6
<PAGE>

                  (k) Issue Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue
and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of
shares of Common Stock on conversion of Preferred Stock pursuant hereto;
provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to pay any
transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection
with any such conversion.

                  (l) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The
Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the
Corporation will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall
be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best
efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment
to its Certificate of Incorporation.

                  (m) Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued
upon the conversion of any share or shares of Preferred Stock. All shares of
Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than
one share of Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for
purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of
any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion
would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, such
fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

                  (n) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this
Section 3 to be given to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be
deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and
addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the
Corporation.

                  (o) Termination of Conversion Rights and Dividends.
Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, all Conversion Rights
(including, but not limited to the right to Automatic Conversion) and rights to
receive dividends on the Preferred Stock shall automatically and irrevocably
cease, whether or not the holder has submitted a written notice of conversion
with respect to any shares of Preferred Stock, in the event that a holder is in
material breach of the provisions set forth in Section 3(h) of that certain
Subscription and Purchase Agreement dated as of July 1, 1997 by and between the
Corporation


                                        7
<PAGE>

and the Willora Company (the "Subscription Agreement").

                  (p) Business Day. As used herein, the term "business day"
shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day when the federal and
state banks located in the State of New York are required or permitted to close.

      Section 4. Voting Rights. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have no
voting rights whatsoever, except as otherwise provided by the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law"), and as expressly set forth in this Section
4 and in Section 7(b) below. To the extent that under Delaware Law the vote of
the holders of the Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class or series as
applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Corporation, the
affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares
of the Preferred Stock represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is
present or by written consent of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock
(except as otherwise may be required under Delaware Law) shall constitute the
approval of such action by the class. To the extent that under Delaware Law the
holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of
Common Stock, voting together as one class, each share of Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
into which it is then convertible using the record date for the taking of such
vote of stockholders as the date as of which the Conversion Price is calculated
and conversion is effected. Holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
notice of (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to
shareholders) all shareholder meetings or written consents with respect to which
they would be entitled to vote, which notice would be provided pursuant to the
Corporation's by-laws and applicable statutes.

      Section 5. Redemption; Discretionary and Mandatory. At any time and from
time to time, the Corporation shall have the right, upon no more than thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the holder, to redeem any or all of the shares
of Preferred Stock for which the holder thereof has not requested conversion at
a per share price equal to one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the
Liquidation Value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends up until the date
redemption is actually effected. Upon the giving of the written notice, the
holder of the Preferred Stock shall thereafter no longer have any Conversion
Rights.

      Section 6. Liquidation Preference. The holders of shares of Preferred
Stock will be entitled to receive, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, out of or to
the extent of the net assets of the Corporation legally available for such
distribution, before any distributions are made with respect to any Common Stock
or any stock ranking junior to the Preferred


                                        8
<PAGE>

Stock, $1,000.00 per share, plus any declared but unpaid dividends (the
"Liquidation Preference"). After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation
Preference, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any
further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation.

      Section 7. Restrictions and Limitations.

                  (a) Shares of Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by
reason of purchase, conversion, redemption or otherwise shall be retired and
shall become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, which may be
reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock hereafter created under
Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation.

                  (b) So long as shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding,
the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock voting
together as a separate class, amend the terms of this Resolution. The holders of
the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote as a
separate class upon a proposed amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation if
the amendment would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of
the shares of Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely.

Board of Directors established a series of 60,000 shares of Preferred Stock of
the Corporation, par value $100 per share;

      3. On December 16, 1997 the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the
holders of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock each adopted the following
resolutions by written consent to further amend the Certificate of Designation
of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

      RESOLVED, that pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, the Designations of the Company's Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock are amended and restated to be the following:

      1. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the
issuance of 60,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $100 per share, and
expressly vests in the Board of Directors the authority provided therein to
issue any or all of such shares in one or more series, and by resolution or
resolutions the designation, number, full or limited voting powers, preferences
and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the
qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and other distinguishing
characteristics of each series to be issued.


                                        1

      2. Designation Of The Series. The Board of Directors of the Company,
pursuant to authority expressly vested in it as aforesaid, has adopted the
following, creating a Series D issue of Preferred Stock;

      There shall be a series of convertible Preferred Stock designated as
"Series D Preferred Stock." The shares of such series shall be referred to
herein as the "Series D Shares." Upon initial issuance by the Company, the price
per share of the Series D Shares shall be $100 (the "Purchase Price"). The par
value per share is $100. The authorized number of such Series D Shares is
60,000. The Series D Shares shall be senior in rank to all other series of
Preferred Stock, now existing or hereafter issued by the Company.

            A. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, the Holders
of the Series D Shares shall not be entitled to vote separately, as a series or
otherwise, on any matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Holders
of the Series D Shares;

            (i) the Company shall not amend, alter, or repeal (whether by
amendment, merger, or otherwise) any of the provisions related to the Series D
Shares of its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, any resolutions of the
board of directors or any instrument establishing and designating the Series D
Shares in determining the relative rights and preferences thereof so as to
affect any materially adverse change in the rights, privileges, powers, or
preferences of the Holders of Series D Shares; or

            (ii) the Company shall not create or designate any additional
preferred stock senior in right as to dividends, voting rights, redemptions or
liquidation to the Series D Shares.

            B. Dividends. A holder of the Series D Shares ("Holder") shall be
entitled to receive a 6% cumulative dividend payable annually in cash or in
freely trading Common Stock of the Company, at the Corporation's option. Such
dividends shall be payable annually (the "Dividend Payment Date"), in preference
to dividends on any Common Stock or stock of any class ranking, as to dividend
rights, junior to the Series D Shares. If paid in Common Stock, the number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock to be received shall be determined by
dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the then applicable Market Price,
as of the dividend payment date. "Market Price" shall mean the 5 day average
daily closing bid price, as reported by Nasdaq, or whatever primary exchange the
Company's Common Stock may be traded on, for the five trading days immediately
preceding the dividend payment data. Dividends shall be fully cumulative and
shall accrue (whether or not declared and whether or not there shall be funds
legally available for the payment of dividends), without interest, and shall be
payable on the Dividend Payment Date.


                                       2

            C. Conversion Rights.

            (i) Series D Shares. Upon the Company's receipt of a facsimile or
original of Holder's signed Notice of Conversion, the Company shall instruct its
transfer agent to issue one or more Certificates representing that number of
shares of Common Stock into which the Series D Shares are convertible in
accordance with the provisions regarding conversion set forth in the
subscription agreement entered into between the Holder and the Company. The
Company's transfer agent or attorney shall act as Registrar and shall maintain
an appropriate ledger containing the necessary information with respect to each
Series D Share.

            (ii) Conversion Date. Such conversion shall be effectuated by
surrendering to the Company, or its attorney, the Series D Shares to be
converted together with a facsimile or original of the signed Notice of
Conversion which evidences Holder's intention to convert those Series D Shares
indicated. The date on which the Notice of Conversion is effective ("Conversion
Date") shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder has delivered to the
Company a facsimile or original of the signed Notice of Conversion, as long as
the original Series D Shares to be converted are received by the Company or its
designated attorney within 5 business days thereafter. As long as the Series D
Shares to be converted are received by the Company within 5 business days after
it receives a facsimile or original of the signed Notice of Conversion, the
Company shall deliver to the Holder, or per the Holder's instructions, the
shares of Common Stock, without restrictive legend or stop transfer
instructions, within 3 business days of receipt of the Series D Shares to be
converted.

            (iii) Common Stock to be Issued Without Restrictive Legend. Upon the
conversion of any Series D Shares and upon receipt by the Company or its
attorney of a facsimile or original of Holder's signed Notice of Conversion
Company shall instruct Company's transfer agent to issue Stock Certificates
without restrictive legend or stop transfer instructions in the name of Holder
(or its nominee) and in such denominations to be specified at conversion
representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion,
as applicable. Company warrants that no instructions, other than these
instructions, have been given or will be given to the transfer agent and that
the Common Stock shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records
of Company.

            (iv) Conversion Terms/Right of First Refusal. On and after February
10, 1998, Holder is entitled, at its option to convert the Series D Shares into
Common Stock of the Company at 75% of the 5 day average daily closing bid price,
as reported by Bloomberg, L.P., for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the
applicable Conversion Date, (the "Conversion Price"). The Holder is hereby given
a right of first refusal on any Regulation D offering proposed to be effected by
the Company during the 6 month period immediately subsequent to the date of the
Subscription Agreement. Holder shall have 2 business days from the date the
Company sends a facsimile notice (the "Notice") of the material terms and


                                       3
<PAGE>

conditions of the proposed offering ("Proposed Offering") to the Holder in which
to advise the Company by writing that it shall provide the financing
contemplated by the Proposed Offering in accordance with the terms set forth in
the Notice. Holder's failure to agree to effect the financing (or any part
thereof) in accordance with the terms of the Notice within the aforementioned
two (2) day period shall be deemed a waiver by Holder of its right of first
refusal with respect to that portion (or all) of the Proposed Offering, as the
case may be, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Notice. It is agreed
that Holder's right of first refusal hereunder may be exercised in whole or in
part. In the event issuer later attempts to effect a Proposed Offering on
material terms and conditions other than those set forth in the Notice (the
"Revised Proposed Offering"), Holder shall have a new right of first refusal
with respect to the Revised Proposed Offering.

            The Series D Shares are subject to a mandatory, 36 month conversion
feature at the end of which all Series D Shares outstanding will be
automatically converted, upon the terms set forth in this section ("Mandatory
Conversion Data").

            (v) Nothing contained in the Subscription Agreement for the purchase
of the Series D Shares shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of
interest to the Holder at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by
governing law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid
exceeds the maximum rate permitted by governing law, the rate of interest
required to be paid thereunder shall be automatically reduced to the maximum
rate permitted under the governing law and such excess shall be returned with
reasonable promptness by the Holder to the Company.

            (vi) It shall be the Company's responsibility to take all necessary
actions and to bear all such costs to issue the Certificate of Common Stock as
provided herein, including the responsibility and cost for delivery of an
opinion letter to the transfer agent, if so required. The person in whose name
the certificate of Common Stock is to be registered shall be treated as a
shareholder of record on and after the conversion date. Upon surrender of any
Series D Shares that are to be converted in part, the Company shall issue to the
Holder a new Series D Shares equal to the unconverted amount, if so requested by
Holder.

            (vii) In the event the Common Stock is not delivered per the written
instructions of the Holder, within 10 (ten) business days after the Conversion
Date, then in such event the Company shall pay to Holder one percent (1%) in
cash, of the dollar value of the Series D Shares being converted per each day
after the tenth business day following the Conversion Date that the Common Stock
is not delivered.

      To the extent that the failure of the Company to issue the Common Stock
pursuant to this Section 3C is due to the unavailability of authorized but
unissued


                                        4
<PAGE>

shares of Common Stock, the provisions or this Section 3C(vii) shall not apply
but instead the provisions of Section 3C(viii) shall apply.

      The Company shall make any payments incurred under the Section 3C(vii) in
immediately available funds within three (3) business days from the date of
issuance of the applicable Common Stock. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's
right to pursue actual damages or cancel the Notice of Conversion for the
Company's failure to issue and deliver Common Stock to the Holder within ten
(10) business days after the Conversion Date.

            (viii) The Company shall at all times reserve and have available all
Common Stock necessary to meet conversion of the Series D Shares by all Holders
of the entire amount of Series D Shares and Warrants then outstanding. If, at
any time Holder submits a Notice of Conversion and the Company does not have
sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available to effect,
in full, a conversion of the Series D Shares (a "Conversion Default", the date
of such default being referred to herein as the "Conversion Default Date"), the
Company shall issue to the Holder all of the shares of Common Stock which are
available, and the Notice of Conversion as to any Series D Shares requested to
be converted but not converted (the "Unconverted Series D Shares"), upon
Holder's sole option, may be deemed null and void. The Company shall provide
notice of such Conversion Default ("Notice of Conversion Default") to all
existing Holders of outstanding Series D Shares, by facsimile, within one (1)
business day of such default (with the original delivered by overnight or two
day courier), and the Holder shall give notice to the Company by facsimile
within five business days of receipt of the original Notice of Conversion
Default (with the original delivered by overnight or two day courier) of its
election to either nullify or confirm the Notice of Conversion.

      The Company agrees to pay to all Holders of outstanding Series D Shares
payments for a Conversion Default ("Conversion Default Payments") in the amount
of (N/365) x (.24) x the initial issuance price of the outstanding and/or
tendered but not converted Series D Shares held by each Holder where N = the
number of days from the Conversion Default Date to the date (the "Authorization
Date") that the Company authorizes a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
to effect conversion of all remaining Series D Shares. The Company shall send
notice ("Authorization Notice") to each Holder of outstanding Series D Shares
that additional shares of Common Stock have been authorized, the Authorization
Date and the amount of Holder's accrued Conversion Default Payments. The accrued
Conversion Default shall be paid in cash or shall be convertible into Common
Stock at the Conversion Rate, at the Holder's option, payable as follows: (i) in
the event Holder elects to take such payment in cash, cash payments shall be
made to such Holder of outstanding Series D Shares by the fifth day of the
following calendar month, or (ii) in the event Holder elects to take such
payment in stock, the Holder may convert such payment amount into Common Stock
at the conversion rate set forth in section 4(d) at anytime after the 5th day of
the calendar month following the month in which the


                                       5
<PAGE>

Authorization Notice was received, until the expiration of the mandatory 36
month conversion period.

      Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue actual damages for
the Company's failure to maintain a sufficient number of authorized shares of
Common Stock.

            (ix) The Company shall furnish to Holder such number of prospectuses
and other documents incidental to the registration of the Series D Shares of
Common Stock underlying the Series D Shares, including any amendment of or
supplements thereto.

            (x) Certain Adjustments. In the event of any change in one or more
classes of capital stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend, stock
split-up, recapitalization, reclassification, or combination, subdivision or
exchange of shares or the like, or in the event of the merger or consolidation
of the Company or the sale or transfer by the Company of all or substantially
all of its assets, then all liquidation preference, conversion and other rights
and privileges appurtenant to the Series D Shares shall be promptly and
appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors of the Company so as to fully
protect and preserve the same (such preservation and protection to be to the
same extent and effect as if the subject event had not occurred, or the
applicable right or privilege had been exercised immediately prior to the
occurrence of the subject event, or otherwise as the case may be), it being the
intention that, following any such adjustment, the Holders of the Series D
Shares shall be in the same relative position with respect to their rights and
privileges as they possessed immediately prior to the event that precipitated
the adjustment.

            (xi) Costs. The Company shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer
or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of shares
of Common Stock upon conversion of any Series D Shares; provided that the
Company shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate for such
shares in a name other than that of the Holder of the Series D Shares in respect
of which such shares are being issued.

            (xii) Concerning the Securities. The issuance, sale and delivery of
the Series D Shares have been duly authorized by all required corporate action
on the part of Company, and when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof for the consideration expressed herein and therein,
will be duly and validly issued and enforceable in accordance with their terms,
subject to the laws of bankruptcy and creditors' rights generally. 5,500,000
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Shares have been
duly and validly reserved for issuance and, upon issuance shall be duly and
validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable (the "Reserved Series D Shares").


                                        6
<PAGE>

      Prior to conversion of all the Series D Shares, if at anytime the
conversion of all the Series D Shares outstanding results in an insufficient
number of Reserved Series D Shares being available to cover all the conversions,
then in such event, the Company will move to call and hold a shareholder's
meeting within 45 days of such event for the sole purpose of authorizing
additional Series D Shares to facilitate the conversions. In such an event the
Company shall: (1) recommend its current or future officers, directors and other
control people to vote their shares in favor of increasing the authorized number
of shares of Common Stock and (2) recommend to all shareholders to vote their
shares in favor of increasing the authorized number of shares of Common Stock.
Company represents and warrants that under no circumstances will it deny or
prevent Holder's right to convert the Series D Shares as permitted under the
terms of the Subscription Agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement
entered into between the Company and the Holders of the Series D Shares.

      (xiii) No Short Sales. Subject to the provisions of Section 3 C (xiv)
below, the Holders shall expressly agree that until such time as they have sold
all of the securities and/or all of the Shares that they shall not, directly or
indirectly, through an affiliate (as that term a defined under Rule 405
promulgated under the Act) or by, with or through an unrelated third party or
entity, whether or not pursuant to a written or oral understanding, agreement,
arrangement, scheme, or artifice of any nature whatsoever, engage in the short
selling of the Company's Common Stock or any other equity securities of the
Company whether now existing or hereafter issued, or engage in any other
activity of any nature whatsoever that has the same effect as a short sale, or
is a de facto or de jure short sale, of the Company's Common Stock or any other
equity security of the Company whether now existing or hereafter issued,
including but not limited to the sale of any rights pursuant to any
understanding, agreement, arrangement, scheme or artifice of any nature
whatsoever, whether oral or in writing, relative to the Company's Common Stock
or any other equity securities of the Company whether now existing or hereafter
created.

      (xiv) The provisions of Section 3 C (xiii) shall not apply with respect to
any activities of a Holder which are effected by such Holder in the course of
such Holders regular trading activities, which may from time to time include
so-called "short selling," provided, however, that any short selling activities,
whether or not routine, that are designed to prevent or have the effect of
preventing the price of the Company's securities which are the subject of the
short selling activities from maintaining the level of its then current market
price shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3 C (xiii) above. In the
event of any breach of the provisions of Section 3 C (xiii) or (xiv) by such
Holder, the Company shall be required to honor such Holder's conversions, but
without application of the discount or the dividends that have been issued, but
not exercised, shall no longer be enforceable.


                                        7

            D. Redemption.

      The Company will have the right to redeem the Series D Shares in whole or
in part, at any time as follows: Up to and including February 10, 1998, the
Company may redeem any or all of the Series D Shares for the face amount of the
Series D Shares being redeemed, plus accrued dividends thereon; up to and
including March 12, 1998, the Company may redeem any or all of the Series D
Shares for 110% of the face amount of the Series D Shares being redeemed, plus
accrued dividends thereon; up to and including April 11, 1998, the Company may
redeem any or all of the Series D Shares for 120% of the face amount of the
Series D Shares being redeemed, plus accrued dividends thereon; after April 12,
1998, the Company may redeem any or all of the Series D Shares for 130% of the
face amount of the Series D Shares being redeemed, plus accrued dividends
thereon. Prior to sending a Notice of Conversion, the Holder has the right to
request a written notice from the Company as to whether or not the Company
intends to redeem or convert properly tendered Series D Shares. The Company must
give written notice to the Holder, via facsimile, of its redemption intention,
within forty- eight (48) hours of the Company's receipt of such request from the
Holder. The Company's notice of redemption intent, either to redeem or not to
redeem, shall be binding for 10 business days from the date of receipt by the
Holder. If the Company fails to give written notice to Holder within forty-eight
(48) hours of Company's receipt of a written request from Holder, as to the
Company's redemption intention, such failure shall conclusively determine the
Company's intent not to redeem, and the Company may not give the Holder a notice
of redemption for 10 business days thereafter. Additionally, once Holder faxes
the Company a Notice of Conversion, the Company shall be restricted from
redeeming as to that conversion.

      Redemption by the Company shall be effected by the Company notifying the
Holder by facsimile at the number listed in the subscription agreement as to the
Company's intention to exercise its right of redemption. The Company shall state
in such notice the amount of Series D Shares it intends to redeem, the amount
that it will pay to effectuate such redemption and the date by which the Holder
must deliver the original Series D Shares to be redeemed to the Escrow Agent.
The Company shall give the Holder at least 10 business day's advance notice of
the above information. On or before the date by which the Holder is to deliver
the original Series D Shares to the Escrow Agent, the Company shall wire to the
Escrow Agent that amount necessary to effect the redemption. Once the Escrow
Agent is in receipt of the original Series D Shares being redeemed and those
funds necessary to effect the redemption the Escrow Agent shall wire those funds
to the Holder and deliver the original Series D Shares via overnight courier to
the Company. With respect to that portion of the Series D Shares being redeemed,
provided sufficient funds are on deposit with the Escrow Agent on the redemption
date as herein described, then in such event, after the date of redemption,
interest shall cease to accrue on those Series D Shares being redeemed and the
Holder


                                       8
<PAGE>

shall have no further rights as to those Series D Shares being redeemed other
than the right to receive payments on the redemption date.

            E. Liquidation.

                  (i) Series D Preference. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Holders of
Series D Shares shall be entitled, before any distribution or payment is made
upon any shares of Common Stock or any Preferred Stock junior in rank to the
Series D Shares, to be paid an amount per share equal to the liquidation value
described in this Section 3.E(i) (the "Liquidation Value"). The per share
Liquidation Value of the Series D Shares on any date is equal to the sum of the
following:

                        (A)   $100, plus

                        (B) an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends
                        from the date of issuance of the Series D Shares.

Neither the consolidation nor merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation or other entities, nor the sale, transfer or lease of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company shall itself be deemed to be a
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company within the meaning of this
Section 3.E. Notice of liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company
shall be mailed, by overnight courier, postage prepaid, not less than 20 days
prior to the data on which such liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up is
expected to take place or become effective, to the Holders of record of the
Series D Shares at their respective addresses as the same appear on the books of
the Company or supplied by them in writing to the Company for the purpose of
such notice, but no defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof shall affect
the validity of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

                  (ii) General.

                        (A) All of the preferential amounts to be paid to the
Holders of the Series D Shares pursuant to Section 3D(i) shall be paid or set
apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount
for, or the distribution of any assets of the Company to, the Holders of the
Common Stock or any preferred stock junior in rank to the Series D Shares in
connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

                        (B) After setting apart or paying in full the
preferential amounts aforesaid to the Holders of record of the issued and
outstanding Series D Shares as set forth in Section 3D(i), the Holders of record


                                        9
<PAGE>

of Common Stock and any preferred stock junior in rank to the Series D Shares
shall be entitled to participate in any distribution of any remaining assets of
the Company, and the Holders of record of the Series D Shares shall not be
entitled to participate in such distribution.

            F. Reacquired Shares. Any Series D Shares redeemed, purchased,
converted, or otherwise acquired by the Company in any manner whatsoever shall
not be reissued as part of such Series D and shall be retired promptly after the
acquisition thereof. All such Shares upon their retirement and the filing of any
certificate required in connection therewith pursuant to the Delaware General
Company Law shall become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

            G. Equality. All Series D Holders shall be subject to the same terms
and conditions as set forth herein. No Series D Holders shall be entitled to or
receive terms that are more favorable than those given to any other Series D
Holder. In the event a Series D Holder is given or receives terms more favorable
than those given to or received by any other Series D Holder, then in such event
all Series D Holders shall be given and entitled to those more favorable terms.

            H. Copies of Agreements, Instruments, Documents. Copies of any of
the agreements, instruments or other documents referred to in this Certificate
shall be furnished to any stockholder upon written request to the Company at its
principal place of business.

      4. The statements contained in the foregoing, creating and designating the
said Series D issue of Preferred Stock and fixing the number, powers,
preferences, and relative, optional, participating, and other special rights and
the qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and other distinguishing
characteristics thereof shall, upon the effective date of said series, be deemed
to be included in and be a part of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Sections 104 and 151 of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
