                                  STOCK OPTION

                                   GRANTED BY

                                  DYNAGEN, INC.
                       (hereinafter called the "Company")

                                       TO

                              DHANANJAY G. WADEKAR

                        (hereinafter called the "Holder")

         For valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Company hereby grants to the Holder the following option:

         FIRST: Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the
Holder is hereby given the right and option to purchase from the Company shares
of the common stock, $.01 par value per share, ("Common Stock"), of the Company.
Schedule A hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein,
sets forth (a) the maximum number of shares that the Holder may purchase upon
exercise of this Option, (b) the exercise price per share of Common Stock
purchasable hereunder, (c) the expiration date of this Option, (d) the vesting
rate and (e) certain other terms and conditions applicable to this Option.

         This Option shall be exercised in whole or in part by the Holder's
delivery to the Company of written notice (the "Notice of Exercise") setting
forth the number of shares with respect to which this Option is to be exercised,
together with (a) cash in an amount, or a check, bank draft or postal or express
money order payable in an amount, equal to the aggregate exercise price for the
shares being purchased, (b) with the consent of the Board (which term shall
herein include the "Committee," as that term is defined in the Plan), shares of
Common Stock having a fair market value equal to such aggregate exercise price;
(c) with the consent of the Board, a personal recourse note issued by the Holder
to the Company in a principal amount equal to such aggregate exercise price and
with such other terms, including interest rate and maturity, as the Board may
determine in its discretion, PROVIDED that the interest rate borne by such note
shall not be less than the lowest applicable federal rate, as defined in Section
1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (d) with the consent
of the Board, such other consideration that is acceptable to the Board and that
has a fair market value, as determined by the Board, equal to such aggregate
exercise price; or (e) with the consent of the Board, any combination of the
foregoing. The "fair market value" of the Common Stock shall equal (i) the
<PAGE>

closing price per share on the date of grant of the Option as reported by the
National Market System or another automated quotation system of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., including the OTC Bulletin Board, (ii)
if the Common Stock is not quoted on any such system, as reported by a national
stock exchange or (iii) if the Common Stock is not listed on such an exchange,
the fair market value as determined by the Board.

         SECOND: The Company, in its discretion, may file a registration
statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register
shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under this option. At any time at
which such a registration statement is not in effect, it shall be a condition
precedent to any exercise of this Option that the Holder shall deliver to the
Company a customary "investment letter" satisfactory to the Company and its
counsel in which, among other things, the Holder shall (a) state that he or she
is acquiring shares of Common Stock subject to the Option for his or her own
account for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof
and (b) acknowledge that those shares are not freely transferable except in
compliance with federal and state securities laws.

         THIRD: In order to exercise this option in whole or in part, the Holder
shall deliver to the Company the Notice of Exercise and related investment
letter, payment of exercise price pursuant to Paragraphs First and Second hereof
and any agreement not inconsistent with that may then be required by the Company
in its sole discretion. As promptly as practicable after receipt by the Company,
such materials, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (or if any other
individual or individuals are exercising this Option, to such individual or
individuals) a certificate registered in the name of the Holder (or the names of
the other individual or individuals exercising this Option) and representing the
number of shares with respect to which this Option is then being exercised;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any law or regulation or order of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any other body having jurisdiction in the premises shall
require the Company or the Holder (or the individual or individuals exercising
this Option) to take any action in connection with the shares then being
purchased, the date for the delivery of the certificate for such shares shall be
extended for the period necessary to take and complete such action. The Company
may imprint upon said certificate such legends as counsel for the Company may
consider appropriate. Delivery by the Company of the certificates for such
shares shall be deemed effected for all purposes when the Company or a stock
transfer agent of the Company shall have deposited such certificates in the
United States mail, addressed to the Holder, at the address specified in the
Notice. The Company will pay all fees or expenses necessarily incurred by the
Company in connection with the issuance and delivery of shares pursuant to the
exercise of this Option.

         The Company will, at all times while any portion of this Option is
outstanding, reserve and keep available, out of shares of its authorized and
unissued Common Stock or shares of Common Stock held in treasury, a sufficient
number of shares of its Common Stock to satisfy the requirements of this Option.

         FOURTH: If the Company shall effect any subdivision or consolidation of
shares of its stock or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock
dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares outstanding, in
any such case without receiving compensation therefor in money, services or
property, then the number, class and per share price of shares of
<PAGE>

stock subject to this Option shall be appropriately adjusted in such a manner as
to entitle the Holder to receive upon exercise of this Option, for the same
aggregate cash consideration, the same total number and class of shares as he or
she would have received as a result of the event requiring the adjustment had he
or she exercised this Option in full immediately prior to such event.

         If the Company shall be a party to a reorganization or merger with one
or more other corporations (whether or not the Company is the surviving or
resulting corporation), shall consolidate with or into one or more other
corporations, shall be liquidated, or shall sell or otherwise dispose of
substantially all of its assets to another corporation (each a "Transaction"),
then:

                  (a) subject to the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) below,
         after the effective date of the Transaction, the Holder of this Option
         shall be entitled, upon exercise hereof and at no additional cost, to
         receive shares of Common Stock or, if applicable, shares of such other
         stock or other securities, cash or property as the holders of shares of
         Common Stock received pursuant to the terms of the Transaction;

                  (b) the Board may accelerate the time for exercise of this
         Option to a date prior  to the effective date of the Transaction, as
         specified by the Board; or

                  (c) this Option may be canceled by the Board as of the
         effective date of the Transaction, PROVIDED that (i) notice of such
         cancellation shall have been given to the Holder and (ii) the Holder
         shall have the right to exercise this Option to the extent the same is
         then exercisable or, if the Board shall have accelerated the time for
         exercise of this Option, in full during the thirty-day period preceding
         the effective date of the Transaction.

         Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, the issue by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services, either upon direct
sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon
conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares
or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock then
subject to this Option.

         FIFTH: Neither the Holder nor any other person shall, by virtue of the
granting of this Option, be deemed for any purpose to be the owner of any shares
of Common Stock subject to this Option or to be entitled to the rights or
privileges of a holder of such shares unless and until this Option has been
exercised pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to such shares and the
Company has issued and delivered the shares to the Holder.

         SIXTH: This Option is not transferable by the Holder or by operation of
law, otherwise than by will or under the laws of descent and distribution. This
Option is exercisable, during the Holder's lifetime, only by the Holder.
<PAGE>

         In the event that the Holder's employment (which term shall "emploment"
include service as a director" with the Company or any subsidiary is terminated
by the Company without "Cause" (as defined hereinafter), the Holder shall have
the right to exercise this Option within thirty days after the latest date on
which the Holder so ceases to be an employee of the Company or any subsidiary or
parent (but not later than the expiration date of this Option) with respect to
the shares which were purchasable by the Holder by exercise of this Option on
such date.

         In the event that the Holder's employment is terminated by the Holder
for any reason or by the Company for Cause, this Option shall terminate
immediately. As used in this Option, "Cause" shall mean a determination by the
Company (including the Board) or a subsidiary or parent that the Holder's
employment with the Company or such subsidiary or parent should be terminated as
a result of (i) a material breach by the Holder of any agreement to which the
Holder and the Company (or such subsidiary or parent) are both parties, (ii) any
act (other than retirement) by the Holder that may have a material and adverse
effect on the business of the Company or any subsidiary or on the ability to
perform services for the Company or such subsidiary, including the proven or
admitted commission of any crime (other than an ordinary traffic violation), or
(iii) any material misconduct or material neglect of duties by the Holder in
connection with the business or affairs of the Company or such subsidiary or
parent.

         In the event of the death or permanent and total disability of the
Holder prior to termination of the Holder's employment with the Company and all
subsidiaries or parents and prior to the date of expiration of this Option, this
Option shall terminate on the earlier of the expiration date of this Option or
one year following the date of such death or disability.

         In the event of the death of the Holder prior to termination of the
Holder's employment with the Company and all subsidiaries or parents and prior
to the date of expiration of this Option, the Holder's executors, administrators
or any individual or individuals to whom this Option is transferred by will or
under the laws of descent and distribution, as the case may be, shall have the
right to exercise this Option with respect to the number of shares purchasable
by the Holder at the date of death.

         SEVENTH: The Holder agrees that, during the 180-day period commencing
with the closing date of any public offering by the Company of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or any successor act, the Holder will not, without the prior
written consent of the representative or representatives of the underwriters of
such offering, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell,
grant any option for the sale of, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of or encumber any shares of Common Stock acquired upon
exercise of this Option, other than such shares, if any, as shall be covered by
such registration statement or as shall be consented to by the Company and such
representative or representatives. The Holder further agrees that, in order to
facilitate any such public offering, (a) the agreements in this Paragraph
Seventh shall be for the benefit of such underwriters as well as the Company and
(b) upon request of such representative or representatives, the Holder will
execute a separate written instrument to the effect set forth in the preceding
sentence, with such changes therein as such representative or representatives
may request, PROVIDED that such changes are not materially adverse to the
interest of the Holder.
<PAGE>

         EIGHTH: If the Company in its discretion determines that it is
obligated to withhold tax with respect to shares of Common Stock received on
exercise of this Option, the Holder agrees that the Company may withhold from
the Holder's wages the appropriate amount of federal, state or local withholding
taxes attributable to the Holder's exercise of such Option. At the Company's
discretion, the amount required to be withheld may be withheld in cash from such
wages or (with respect to compensation income attributable to the exercise of
this Option) in kind from the Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Holder
on exercise of this Option. The Holder further agrees that, if the Company does
not withhold an amount from the Holder's wages sufficient to satisfy the
Company's withholding obligation, the Holder will remit to the Company on
demand, in cash, the amount estimated by the Company to be underwithheld.

         NINTH: Any notice to be given to the Company hereunder shall be deemed
sufficient if addressed to the Company and delivered at the office of the Chief
Financial Officer of the Company, or to such other officer or at such other
address as the Company may hereafter designate, or when deposited in the mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer of
the Company at such office or other address.

         Any notice to be given to the Holder hereunder shall be deemed
sufficient if addressed to and delivered in person to the Holder at his address
furnished to the Company or when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Holder at such address.

         TENTH: This Option is subject to all laws, regulations and orders of
any governmental authority which may be applicable thereto and, notwithstanding
any of the provisions hereof, the Holder agrees that he will not exercise the
Option granted hereby nor will the Company be obligated to issue any shares of
stock hereunder if the exercise thereof or the issuance of such shares, as the
case may be, would constitute a violation by the Holder or the Company of any
such law, regulation or order or any provision thereof.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be
executed in its name and on its behalf as of the effective date.

         ending on the earlier of (i) or (ii) above shall hereinafter be
         referred to as the "FORBEARANCE PERIOD").

         FORBEARANCE TERMS
         -----------------

1.       The Bank's agreement to forbear is subject to the following terms and
         conditions:

         a.   Suspension of Payments on Subordinated Indebtedness. During the
              Forbearance Period, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6-27
              of the Loan Agreement or of any other Loan Document, the Borrowers
              shall not make any payments of principal, interest or otherwise on
              account of the following Subordinated Indebtedness which is listed
              on Schedule 6.7 to the Loan Agreement:

              iii. 9% Promissory Notes payable to various private investors; and
              iv.  Promissory Note payable to Carolyn Cusick

         Nothing contained herein shall limit or impair the rights of the Bank
under the subordination agreements entered into with those Persons referenced in
subclauses i ii, iii and iv above (collectively, the "Subordination
Agreements"), each of which remain in full and effect, and the Bank reserve the
right to exercise any of its rights and remedies under the Subordination
Agreements at any time and from time to time.

         a.   Revolving Credit. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Loan
              Agreement to the contrary, during the Forbearance Period, any loan
              or advance by the Bank pursuant to the Revolving Credit,
              including, without limitation, the issuance of any L/C, shall be
              at the Bank's sole and absolute discretion. Availability as
              calculated pursuant to Section 3-1 of the Loan Agreement is solely
              for the Bank's guidance and for the monitoring of the Borrowers'
              financial condition. The Borrowers recognize that Availability is
              only one of several factors considered by the Bank in its
              determination whether to make a loan, credit, or advance under the
              Revolving Credit.

         a.   Interest Rate. From and after the date hereof, all loans and
              advances pursuant to the Revolving Credit shall accrue interest at
              the Base Rate plus four percent (4.0%) per annum. The LIBOR Rate
              shall not be available to the Borrowers, and any and all
              references to the LIBOR Rate in the Loan Agreement shall be of no
              force or effect.

         a.   Payment of Liabilities. During the Forbearance Period, the
              Borrower shall make all payments of principal, interest, fees, and
              other Liabilities in the amounts, and as and when due, required
              under the Loan Documents.

         a.   Commitment to Refinance Liabilities. On or before November 30,
              2000, the Borrowers shall have provided the Bank with a bona fide
              commitment to refinance the Liabilities in full on or before
              January 15, 2001. Such commitment to refinance shall be on terms
              and conditions satisfactory to the Bank in the Bank's sole and
              absolute discretion.

         a.   Satisfaction of Liabilities. Notwithstanding any provision of the
              Loan Agreement to the contrary, the Liabilities shall become
              immediately due and payable in full without notice or demand by
              the Agent upon the expiration of the Forbearance Period.

         a.   Forbearance Fee. In consideration of the Bank's entering into this
              Agreement, the Bank has earned, and the Borrowers have agreed to
              pay to the Bank a forbearance fee in the aggregate amount of
              $50,225.00 (the "Forbearance Fee"). Unless sooner accelerated as a
              result of the occurrence of a Termination Event, such Forbearance
              Fee shall be paid as follows: (i) the sum of $8,000.00 shall be
              paid on the execution hereof; (ii) the sum of $11,225.00 shall be
              paid on October 2, 2000, (iii) the sum of $14,000.00 shall be paid
              on November 1, 2000; and (iv) the sum of $17,000.00 shall be paid
              on December 1, 2000. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
              provided that the Borrowers repay the Liabilities in full on or
              before November 30, 2000, the Bank agrees to waive that portion of
              the Forbearance Fee in the amount of $17,000.00 which would
              otherwise have been payable on December 1, 2000. The Forbearance
              Fee shall be deemed fully earned upon the execution hereof and,
              except as provided for in the preceding sentence, shall not be
              subject to refund or rebate under any circumstances.

              the Borrowers shall pay all costs and expenses of the Bank,
              including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses, and
              collateral examination fees. The Borrowers hereby authorize Bank
              to make an advance under the Revolving Credit to the Borrowers in
              a sum sufficient to pay such costs and expenses and any future
              costs and expenses incurred by the Bank.

              amended as follows:

                         to conduct, at the Borrowers' sole cost and expense,

                         require.

              a.   Financial Covenants

                   During the Forbearance Period, the financial covenants set
                   forth in Sections 10-11 through 10-13, inclusive, of the Loan

                   financial covenant in lieu thereof:

                         Minimum EBITDA. The Borrowers shall not permit the
                         Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrowers to be less than
                         ninety percent (90%) of the projected monthly
                         Consolidated EBITDA as set forth on the P&L
                         Projections, tested on a monthly basis.

              a.   Survival. The provisions of Paragraph 6(a) through and
                   including 6(i) hereof shall survive any termination of the

         fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Bank:

         a.   All action on the part of the Borrowers necessary for the valid
              execution, delivery and performance by the Borrowers of this
              Agreement shall have been duly and

                                        8
<PAGE>

              effectively taken and evidence thereof satisfactory to the Bank
              shall have been provided to the Bank.

         a.   The Borrower shall have paid to the Bank all fees, expenses and
              other amounts then due and owing pursuant to this Agreement and

         a.   The Borrowers shall have provided such additional instruments and
              documents to the Bank as Bank's counsel may have reasonably
              requested.

         a.   There shall have been no material adverse change in the financial
              condition of each of the Borrowers.

                               TERMINATION EVENTS
                               ------------------

1.       The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute a
         "Termination Event") within the meaning of this Agreement:

         a.   The occurrence of any Default or Event of Default after the date
              hereof under any of the Loan Documents, other than any Existing
              Defaults;

         a.   The failure of the Borrowers to satisfy in all material respects
              the terms and conditions of this Agreement as and when due; or

         a.   The determination by the Bank that any representation or warranty
              made to the Bank by any Borrower was not true, correct and
              accurate in any material respect when made or given.

         Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, the Forbearance Period
may, at the option of the Bank, immediately terminate, and the Bank may
immediately proceed to enforce all of its contractual and other rights and
remedies against the Borrowers, including without limitation, the foreclosure of
the Collateral granted to the Bank by any Borrower and including, to the full
extent permitted by applicable law, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of
a receiver, to which appointment each Borrower hereby consents. The Borrowers
shall cooperate with the Bank in connection with the disposition of the
Collateral.

         NO WAIVER BY BANK
         -----------------

1.       In entering into this Agreement, the Bank is not waiving any existing
         Events of Default. Further, the rights, remedies, powers, privileges,
         and discretions of the Bank hereunder shall be cumulative and not
         exclusive of any rights or remedies which it otherwise would have. No
         delay or omission by the Bank in exercising or enforcing any of its
         rights and remedies hereunder or under the Loan Documents or otherwise
         shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by the
         Bank of any default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver
         of any other default hereunder, now existing or hereafter arising, or
         under any other agreement. No waiver by the Bank of any of its rights
         and remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any
         subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.

         usage to the contrary notwithstanding. No such discussions or

         hereof. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this
         Agreement and the Loan Documents, or any provision under any other
         agreement between the Borrowers and the Bank shall be effective unless
