SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

         3.       METHOD OF EXERCISE

                  The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the
holder hereof, in whole at any time or from time to time in part, but not as to
a fractional share of Common Stock, by the surrender of this Warrant (properly
endorsed) at the office of Aurora as it may designate by notice in writing to
the holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of
Aurora, and by payment as provided below. The holder may make payment in respect
of the exercise of this Warrant as follows:

                  i) Cash Exercise. By payment to Aurora of the Exercise price
         in cash or by certified or official bank check, for each share being
         purchased;

                  ii) Notes Exercise. By surrender to Aurora of any promissory
         notes or other obligations issued by Aurora, with all such notes or
         other obligations of Aurora so surrendered being credited against the
         Exercise Price in an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus
         the amount of any interest thereon to the date of such surrender;

                  iii) Securities Exercise. By delivery to Aurora of any other
         securities issued by Aurora, with such securities being credited
         against the Exercise Price in an amount equal to the fair market value
         thereof;

                  iv) Net Issue Exercise. By an election to receive shares the
         aggregate fair market value of which as of the date of exercise is
         equal to the fair market value of this 


                                       3
<PAGE>   4
         Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) on such date, in which
         event Aurora, upon receipt of notice of such election, shall issue to
         the holder hereof a number of shares of Common stock equal to (A) the
         number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of all or any
         portion of this Warrant being exercised, as at such date, multiplied by
         (B) the balance remaining after deducting (x) the Exercise Price, as in
         effect on such date, from (y) the Fair Market Value of one share of
         Common Stock as at such date and dividing the result by (c) such Fair
         Market Value; or

                  v) Combined Payment Method. By satisfaction of the Exercise
         Price for each share being acquired in any combination of the methods
         described in clauses (i) through (iv) above.

         4.       DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES

                  Within ten (10) days after the payment of the Purchase Price
following the exercise of this Warrant, Aurora shall issue in the name of and
deliver to WCAS a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which WCAS shall be entitled upon such
exercise and payment. WCAS shall for all purposes be deemed to have become
holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date by which this
Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price was made, irrespective
of the date of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the
Common Stock; provided, that if the date by which such surrender and payment is
made is a date when the stock transfer books of Aurora are closed, such person
shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such shares of Common Stock
at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer
books are open.

         5.       DEFINITION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE

         For the purposes of this Warrant, the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock shall be determined as follows: (i) if the Common stock is listed or
admitted to trading on one or more national securities exchanges, the average of
the last reported sales prices per share regular way or, in case no such
reported sales take place or such day, the average of the last reported bid and
asked prices per share regular way, in either case on the principal national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading,
for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the exercise of this
Warrant (the "Determination Date"); (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed or
admitted to trading on a national securities exchange but is quoted by NASDAQ,
the average of the last reported sales prices per share regular way or, in case
no reported sale takes place on any such day or the last reported sales prices
are not then quoted by NASDAQ, the average of the last reported bid and asked
prices per share, for the five trading days immediately preceding the
Determination Date as furnished by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or
any similar successor organization; and (iii) if the Common Stock is not listed
or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange or quoted by NASDAQ or
any other nationally recognized quotation service, the Fair Market Value shall
be the fair value thereof determined jointly by the Board of Directors of Aurora
and the holders of Warrants outstanding representing a majority of the shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of

 
                                      4
<PAGE>   5
the Warrants; provided, however, that if such parties are unable to reach
agreement within a reasonable time, the Fair Market Value shall be determined in
good faith by an independent investment banking firm selected jointly by the
Board of Directors of Aurora and the holders of Warrants outstanding
representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants or, if that selection cannot be made within fifteen (15) days, by
an independent investment banking firm selected by the American Arbitration
Association in accordance with its rules. Anything in this Section 5 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Fair Market Value of this Warrant or any portion
thereof as of any Determination Date shall be equal to (A) the Fair Market Value
of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or such
portion thereof) (determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph) minus (B) the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant (or such
portion thereof).

       6. REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE

                  If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the
capital stock of Aurora or any consolidation or merger of Aurora with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provisions
shall be made whereby each holder of the Warrants shall thereafter have the
right to receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified
herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore
receivable upon the exercise of such Warrants, such shares of stock, securities
or assets (including cash) as may be issued or payable with respect to or in
exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the
number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore so receivable had such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not taken place,
and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the
rights and interests of such holder to the end that the provisions hereof
(including without limitation provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price)
shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares
of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such
exercise rights (including an immediate adjustment, by reason of such
reorganization or reclassification, of the Exercise Price to the value for the
Common Stock reflected by the terms of such reorganization or reclassification
if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such reorganization or reclassification). In the event of a merger or
consolidation of Aurora as a result of which a greater or lesser number of
shares of common stock of the surviving corporation are issuable to holders of
Common Stock of Aurora outstanding immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation shall be adjusted in the same manner as though there were a
subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Aurora.
Aurora will not effect any such consolidation, merger or any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets of properties, unless prior to the consummation
thereof the successor corporation (if other than Aurora) resulting from such
consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume
by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to each holder of the
Warrants at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of Aurora,
the 

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or
assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be
entitled to receive.

        7. ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE FOR DISTRIBUTIONS, SUBDIVISIONS AND 
           COMBINATIONS

           In the event that Aurora, after the date hereof: (a) pays a stock 
dividend with respect to the Common Stock; (b) subdivides its outstanding shares
of Common Stock; (c) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of any class of Common Stock or (d) issues shares of
its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which Aurora is
the surviving corporation (any one of which actions is herein referred to as an
"Adjustment Event"), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such
Exercise Price immediately prior to such Adjustment Event by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to such Adjustment Event, and the denominator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately thereafter.

           Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted in accordance with this 
Section 7, WCAS shall be entitled to purchase at the new Exercise Price the
number of shares of Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the new Exercise Price.

        8. ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE FOR ISSUANCES BELOW MARKET PRICE

           If Aurora issues any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per 
share less than the then Fair Market Value, then upon such issuance the Exercise
Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale multiplied by the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock immediately prior to such issue or sale plus
(b) the consideration received by Aurora upon such issue or sale, and the
denominator of which shall be the product of (x) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale multiplied by (y)
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock immediately prior to such issue or
sale.

           Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted in accordance with
this Section 8, WCAS shall be entitled to purchase at the new Exercise Price the
number of shares of Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the new Exercise Price.

<PAGE>   7
         9.       FRACTIONAL SHARES

                  No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, Aurora shall pay WCAS a sum in cash equal
to the Fair Market Value of the fractional shares on the date of exercise.

         10.      STOCK TO BE RESERVED

                  Aurora will at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized Common Stock or its treasury shares, solely for the purpose of issue
upon the exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, such number of shares of
Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. Aurora
covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issued shall be duly
and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and, without limited the
generality of the foregoing, Aurora covenants that it will from time to time
take all such action as may be requisite to assure that the par value per share
of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the effective Exercise
Price. Aurora will take all such action as may be necessary and within its
control to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any
national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock of Aurora may be
listed. Aurora will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the
Exercise price if the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and issuable
after such action upon exercise of this Warrant would exceed the total number of
shares of Common Stock then authorized by Aurora's Articles of Incorporation.
Aurora has not granted and will not grant any right of first refusal with
respect to shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, and there are no
preemptive rights associated with such shares.

         11.      ISSUE TAX

                  The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of the Warrants shall be made without charge to the holders of such
Warrants for any issuance tax in respect thereof provided that Aurora shall not
be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than
that of any holder of the Warrants.

         12.      CLOSING OF BOOKS

                  Aurora will at no time close its transfer books against the
transfer of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this
Warrant.

         13.      DEFINITION OF COMMON STOCK

                  As used herein the term "Common Stock" shall mean and include
the Common Stock, $.03 par value, of Aurora as authorized on the date hereof,
and also any capital stock of any class of Aurora hereinafter authorized which
shall not be limited to a fixed sum or 

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
percentage in respect of the rights of the holders thereof to participate in
dividends or in the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Aurora; provided, however, that the
shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall include only shares designated
as Common Stock, $.03 par value, of Aurora on the date hereof, or shares of any
class or classes resulting from any reclassification or reclassifications
thereof which are not limited to any such fixed sum or percentage and are not
subject to redemption by Aurora and, in case at any time there shall be more
than one such resulting class, the shares of each class then so issuable shall
be substantially in the proportion which the total number of shares of such
class resulting from all such reclassification bears to the total number of
shares of all such classes resulting from all such reclassifications.

         14.      NOTICES OF RECORD DATES

                  In the event of (i) any taking by Aurora of a record of the
holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution (other
than cash dividends out of earned surplus), or any right to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right, or (ii) any capital
reorganization of Aurora, any reclassification or recapitalization of the
capital stock of Aurora or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets
of Aurora to or consolidation or merger of Aurora with or into any other
corporation, or (iii) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of Aurora, then, and in each such event, Aurora will give notice to
the holder of this Warrant specifying (x) the date on which any such record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right and stating
the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, and (y) the
date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization,
transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to
take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of
record of Common Stock will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock
for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be given at least
twenty (20) days and not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date therein
specified, and such notice shall state that the action in question or the record
date is subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to a favorable vote of stockholders, if
either is required.

         15.      INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION AND LEGEND

                  The holder, by acceptance of the Warrant, represents and
warrants to Aurora that it is acquiring the Warrant and the shares of Common
Stock (or other securities) issuable upon the exercise hereof for investment
purposes only and not with a view towards the resale or other distribution
thereof and agrees that Aurora may affix upon this Warrant the following legend:

                  "This Warrant has been issued in reliance upon the
         representation of the holder that it has been acquired for investment
         purposes and not with a view towards the resale or other distribution
         thereof. Neither this Warrant nor the 

                                       8
<PAGE>   9
         shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant have been registered
         under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended."

The holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, further agrees that Aurora may affix
the following legend to certificates for shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise of this Warrant:

                  "THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
         REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE
         SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN
         REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL
         SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS
         AVAILABLE."

         16.      NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

                  This Warrant shall not entitle WCAS to any voting rights or
any other rights as a shareholder of Aurora or to any other rights whatsoever
except the rights stated herein; and no dividend or interest shall be payable or
shall accrue in respect of this Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Warrant, until and to the extent that this Warrant shall be
exercised. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
holder hereof to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein
of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any
liability of such holder for the Warrant Exercise Price or as a stockholder of
Aurora, whether such liability is asserted by Aurora or by creditors of Aurora.

         17.      CONSTRUCTION

                  THE VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF
THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
OR ANY OTHER PRINCIPLE THAT COULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION. The descriptive headings of the several sections of this
Warrant are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the
meaning or construction of any of the provisions thereof.

         18.      LOST WARRANT CERTIFICATE

                  If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed,
Aurora shall issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor and date as this
Warrant, subject to Aurora's right to require WCAS to give Aurora a bond or
other satisfactory security sufficient to indemnify Aurora against any claim
that may be made against it (including any expense or liability) on account of
the alleged loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of this Warrant or the
issuance of such new Warrant.
