                                WARRANT AGREEMENT
                       (Kenneth B. Sawyer - 37,500 Shares)
                                        
                                        
                                        
     This WARRANT AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made and entered into as of
the 31st day of March, 1996, by and between NEW IMAGE INDUSTRIES, INC. (the
"Company"), a Delaware corporation, and Kenneth B. Sawyer ("Holder").  In
consideration of these premises and the mutual covenants and agreements
hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Holder agree as
follows: 

     1.  GRANT OF WARRANT.  In consideration of the sum of $37.50 ($0.001 per
Warrant) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby grants to Holder the right
and option (the "Warrant"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, to purchase all or any portion of 37,500 shares of the
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the "Shares") at an
exercise price of $2.125 per share (the "Exercise Price").

     2.  TERM OF WARRANT.  The Warrant shall terminate and expire at 5:00 p.m.,
Pacific Time, on March 30, 2001 (the "Warrant Expiration Date"), unless sooner
terminated as provided herein.

     3.  EXERCISE OF WARRANT.  There is no obligation to exercise the Warrant,
in whole or in part.  The Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, only by
delivery to the Company of:  (a)  written notice of exercise in form and
substance identical to Exhibit "A" attached to this Agreement stating the number
of Shares then being purchased (the "Purchased Shares"); and (b) payment of the
Exercise Price of the Purchased Shares by wire transfer of immediately available
Federal funds.  Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Company shall promptly issue
in the name of the Holder a stock certificate evidencing the Purchased Shares
being purchased by such exercise and deliver such certificate to the Holder.  

     4.  RESTRICTIONS ON PURCHASED SHARES.  Holder shall not sell, transfer
(with or without consideration), assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise
dispose of (collectively, "Transfer") any of the Purchased Shares unless the
Purchased Shares are disposed of pursuant to and in conformity with an effective
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or
pursuant to an available exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Act, and the proposed disposition will not result in a
violation of the securities laws of any state of the United States.  If
requested by the Company, Holder shall, prior to the transfer of such Purchased
Shares, deliver to the Company a written opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the
Company and its counsel, that the proposed disposition will comply with the
requirements set forth in this Paragraph 4.  Any attempted Transfer which is not
in full 


<PAGE>

compliance with this Paragraph 4 shall be null and void AB INITIO, and of no 
force or effect.  

     5.  ADJUSTMENTS UPON RECAPITALIZATION.     

          (a)  In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time
after the date of this Warrant (the "Issuance Date") fix a record date for the
effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other
securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to
receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter
referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration
by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock
Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common stock issuable upon
conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of
such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed),
the Exercise Price shall be appropriately decreased (i.e., the per share
Exercise Price shall be adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price for all
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in full, as adjusted, shall remain
the same) and the number of Shares shall be increased in proportion to such
increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those
issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.     

          (b)  If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time
after the Issuance Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the
Exercise Price shall be appropriately increased (i.e., the per share Exercise
Price shall be adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price for all Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in full, as adjusted, shall remain the
same) and the number of Shares shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease
in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable
with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.     

          (c)  In case of any capital reorganization, any reclassification of
the Common Stock (other than a change in par value or a recapitalization
described in Paragraph 5(a) or 5(b) of this Agreement), or the consolidation of
the Company with, or a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company to
(which sale is followed by a liquidation or dissolution of the Company), or
merger of the Company with, another person, the Holder shall thereafter be
entitled upon exercise of the Warrant to purchase the kind and number of shares
of stock or other securities or the amount or value of any cash, assets or other
property receivable upon such event by a holder of the number of shares of the
Common Stock which the Warrant entitles the holder of the Warrant to purchase
from the Company immediately prior to such event; and in any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set
forth in this Agreement with respect to the Holder's rights and interests
thereafter, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Agreement
(including the specified changes and other adjustments to the Exercise Price)
shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any 


<PAGE>


shares or other property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant. 

          (d)  In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time
after the Issuance Date fix a record date for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to
receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock or the
securities or such rights of any other corporation (other than Common Stock
Equivalents covered by Paragraph 5(a) hereof), the Holder shall thereafter be
entitled upon exercise of the Warrant to receive, in addition to the Purchased
Shares being purchased upon such exercise, the securities or rights convertible
into securities receivable upon such event by a holder of the number of shares
of the Common Stock which the Holder is purchasing upon such exercise.     

          (e)  If it is expected that there will occur any event described in
Paragraph 5(c) or 5(d) hereof, the Company shall give the holder of the Warrants
notice thereof, which notice shall be given at such time or times as notice is
given to the holders of the Company's Common Stock.     

          (f)  The provisions of this Paragraph 5 are intended to be exclusive,
and the holder of the Warrant shall have no rights other than as set forth in
this Agreement (and the rights of a stockholder upon exercise of the Warrant)
upon the occurrence of any of the events described in this Paragraph 5.

          (g)  The grant of the Warrant shall not affect in any way the right or
power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or
changes in its capital or business structure, or to merge, consolidate, dissolve
or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

     6.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDER.  Holder makes the following
representations and warranties:     

          (a)  Holder is acquiring the Warrants for its own account with the
present intention of holding such securities for investment purposes only and
not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of such
securities (other than a distribution in compliance with all applicable federal
and state securities laws).     

          (b)  Holder is an experienced and sophisticated investor and has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the relative merits and the risks of an investment in the Warrants
and in the Shares and of protecting its own interests in connection with this
transaction.     

          (c)  Holder is willing to bear and is capable of bearing the economic
risk of an investment in the Warrants and the Shares.     

          (d)  The Company has made available, prior to the date of this
Agreement, to Holder the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its
officers, 


<PAGE>


and to receive from the Company and its officers information concerning the 
terms and conditions of the Warrants and this Agreement and to obtain any 
additional information with respect to the Company, its business, operations 
and prospects, as reasonably requested by Holder.     

          (e)  Holder is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined under
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Act.     

          (f)  For purposes of the application of federal and state securities
laws, Holder acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Warrants to Holder
occurred in the State of California and that Holder is a resident of the State
of California.  

     7.  LEGEND ON STOCK CERTIFICATES.  Holder agrees that all certificates
representing the Purchased Shares will be subject to such stock transfer orders
and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under the rules,
regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed and any applicable
federal or state securities laws, and the Company may cause the following legend
to be put on such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions: 

     THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
     THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR
     OTHERWISE HYPOTHECATED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO
     AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.  

     8.  NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.  Holder shall have no rights as a stockholder
of the Company with respect to the Shares until the date of the issuance to
Holder of a stock certificate or stock certificates evidencing such Shares. 
Except as may be provided in Paragraph 5 of this Agreement, no adjustment shall
be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or
other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is
prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.  

     9.  MODIFICATION.  The Board or a committee thereof may modify, extend or
renew the Warrant or accept the surrender of, and authorize the grant of a new
option in substitution for, the Warrant (to the extent not previously
exercised).  No modification of the Warrant shall be made without the consent of
Holder which would alter or impair any rights of Holder under the Warrant.  

     10.  DISPUTES.     

          (a)  ARBITRATION.  All disputes arising in connection with this
Agreement shall be finally settled by arbitration in San Diego, California, in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "Rules of
Arbitration") and judgment 


<PAGE>


on the award rendered by the arbitration panel (the "Arbitration Panel") may 
be entered in any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction.     

          (b)  Any party which desires to initiate arbitration proceedings as
provided in Paragraph 10(a) above may do so by delivering written notice to the
other party (the "Arbitration Notice") specifying (A) the nature of the dispute
or controversy to be arbitrated, (B) the name and address of the arbitrator
appointed by the party initiating such arbitration and (C) such other matters as
may be required by the Rules of Arbitration.    

          (c)  The Parties shall appoint a single arbitrator who shall
constitute the Arbitration Panel hereunder.  Should the parties not agree upon
the appointment of the arbitrator within 30 days of delivery of the Arbitration
Notice, the Arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the Rules of
Arbitration.     

          (d)  In any arbitration proceeding conducted pursuant to the
provisions of this Paragraph 10, both parties shall have the right to discovery,
to call witnesses and to cross-examine the opposing party's witnesses, either
through legal counsel, expert witnesses or both.     

          (e)  FINALITY OF DECISION.  All decisions of the Arbitration Panel
shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties and shall not be subject
to judicial review.  The arbitrator shall divide all costs (other than fees of
counsel) incurred in conducting the arbitration proceeding and the final award
in accordance with what they deem just and equitable under the circumstances.
 

          (f)  LIMITATIONS.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Paragraphs 10(a) and 10(b) above, any claim by either party for injunctive or
other equitable relief, including specific performance, may be brought in any
court of competent jurisdiction and any judgment, order or decree relating
thereto shall have precedence over any arbitral award or proceeding.  

     11.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.
