                          OPTION AND WARRANT AGREEMENT

     THIS OPTION AND WARRANT  AGREEMENT  (as defined in Article 7 along with all
the other defined terms,  this "Agreement") is made and effective as of June 30,
1999 by and between  ACCESS ONE  COMMUNICATIONS  CORP. (as more fully defined in
Article 7,  "Company"),  and MCG FINANCE  CORPORATION  (as more fully defined in
Article 7, "Purchaser", "Lender" and/or a "Holder").

                                 R E C I T A L S

     WHEREAS,  Company  (together with certain of its  Affiliates) has requested
Lender (and Lender has  agreed) to enter into the Credit  Agreement  and various
related Loan  Documents (as defined in the Credit  Agreement)  pursuant to which
Lender will  provide  Company  (together  with certain of its  Affiliates)  with
credit facilities initially aggregating up to $7.5 million; and

     WHEREAS, to induce Lender to enter into the Credit Agreement and other Loan
Documents  and  as  additional  consideration  for  the  credit  to be  provided
thereunder,  Company has agreed to issue and deliver to  Purchaser  an Option to
acquire the Warrants  (evidenced by Warrant  Certificates)  to purchase up to an
aggregate of 10% (on a fully diluted  basis and subject to adjustment  including
under Section 5.1.m) of the Capital Stock and voting rights of Company;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  and other  good and
valuable   consideration   (receipt   and   sufficiency   of  which  are  hereby
acknowledged),  and intending to be legally bound hereby,  Company and Purchaser
hereby agree as follows:

                         ARTICLE 1 . GRANT OF WARRANTS

     1.1.  GRANT AND EXERCISE OF OPTION.  Company  hereby grants to Purchaser an
option  (the  "Option")  to  acquire   warrants  (the  "Warrants")  to  purchase
collectively  shares  of voting  Common  Stock  representing,  as of the date of
exercising  such  Option,  10% of the issued and  outstanding  shares of Capital
Stock and voting  rights of Company (on a fully  diluted  basis) (but  excluding
from such  calculation any shares of Common Stock sold after the date hereof and
prior to the date of exercising  such Option in connection  with which the price
per share sold is based upon a valuation of the equity of the Company that is no
less than $20.0 million and as to which Purchaser does not elect to exercise its
preemptive  rights  under  Section  5.1.h).  The actual  number of Warrants  and
Warrant  Shares  purchasable  pursuant to the Warrants will be established as of
the date that the Option is  exercised,  and such number of Warrants and Warrant
Shares will  thereafter  be adjusted from time to time as provided  herein.  The
Option is exercisable  immediately  and may be exercised by the holder hereof by
written  notice to  Company  at any time  prior to the  earlier  to occur of the
following two events: (a) 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 30, 2009 and (b) the
date on which

                                        1

<PAGE>

Lender accepts payment of the Deferred  Interest  accrued under Section 1.1.5 of
the Credit  Agreement.  Any notice of  exercise of the Option  shall  include an
acknowledgment  that the holder  hereof is forgoing any further right to collect
the accrued  Deferred  Interest  under  Section  1.1.5 of the Credit  Agreement.
Immediately upon exercise of the Option, Company shall issue and deliver to such
holder  Warrant   Certificates   evidencing   the  Warrants,   together  with  a
capitalization  chart and an  explanation of how the number of Warrants is being
calculated.  Any dispute  between  Company  and such holder with  respect to the
number of Warrants and Warrant  Shares  purchasable  to be  represented  by such
Warrant  Certificates shall be resolved by an Independent  Appraiser selected by
such  holder  with  the  approval  of  Company  (which  approval  shall  not  be
unreasonably  withheld).  The terms of Articles 4, 5, and 6 hereof  shall not be
effective until the Option is exercised  (other than Sections 4.10,  4.14, 4.15,
4.16, 5.1.h,  5.1.m and 6.1, which Sections are effective  immediately as of the
date  hereof).  Purchaser  (without the necessity of any consent by Company) may
transfer the Option to and among any Holder-Affiliated Transferees.

     1.2. WARRANT  ENTITLEMENT.  Each Warrant entitles the registered  Holder of
such  Warrant  to  purchase   (during  the  Exercise  Period)  one  fully  paid,
nonassessable  Warrant Share at a price of $.01 per share (as such amount may be
adjusted from time to time as provided herein, the "Exercise Price").

     1.3.  OPTION  AND  WARRANTS  AS  ADDITIONAL  COMPENSATION.  The  Option and
Warrants (and the grant thereof  hereunder) are additional  compensation for the
cost,  expense and risk incurred by Lender  (and/or its  Affiliates)  associated
with the  underwriting  and  establishment  of the loan credit  facilities to be
provided for in the Credit Agreement,  but neither the grant nor the exercise of
any Option or Warrants in any way affects or relieves  Company (or any Affiliate
thereof) of any of its  obligations to fully and timely perform and to fully and
timely repay the entire  indebtedness due under the Credit Agreement and related
Loan Documents.

             ARTICLE 2 . PURCHASER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS

     Purchaser  represents  and  warrants  that it is  acquiring  the Option (a)
solely for the purpose of investment and not with a view to any  distribution of
the Warrants or any Warrant Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act, and
(b) with no present  intention of selling or otherwise  transferring the Option,
the Warrants,  the Warrant Certificates or the Warrant Shares except as provided
herein.  Purchaser further  represents and warrants as follows:  (1) it has such
knowledge and  experience in financial and business  matters as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its prospective  investment in the Option and
Warrants,  and  (2) it has  the  ability  to  bear  the  economic  risks  of its
prospective  investment,  and (3) it is able (without  materially  impairing its
financial  condition) to hold the Option, the Warrants and Warrant Shares for an
indefinite  period of time and to suffer a complete  loss on its  investment  in
such Option,  Warrants  and Warrant  Shares.  Purchaser  agrees that it will not
offer, sell or otherwise transfer any Option, Warrants,  Warrant Certificates or
Warrant  Shares except in compliance  with this Agreement and the Securities Act
(and the  regulations of the  Commission  thereunder) , as well as in compliance
with any applicable laws, regulations and orders

                                       2

of and/or  administered  by any State PUC (to the  extent  failure  to so comply
could  reasonably be expected to have or cause a material  adverse effect on the
operations of Company) or the FCC.

consent  that has not been  obtained  under) any  applicable  law or  regulation
(including the laws, regulations and orders of and/or administered by the FCC or
any  State  PUC),  the  Organic  Documents  of  Company,  any  voting  or  other
equity-related  agreements,  any other material  agreements or instruments,  any
order,  injunction  or  decree of any court or  governmental  authority,  or any
permit,  authorization  or license that (with  respect to each of the  foregoing
items,  as  applicable)  Company  is a party to,  Company is bound by or Company
operates   pursuant  to.  The   resolutions  of  Company's  Board  of  Directors
authorizing  the actions  described  in the first  sentence of this  Section are
attached as Exhibit B and are in full force and effect as of the effective  date
hereof.

     3.3.  EXECUTION,  DELIVERY AND BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by Company.  This Agreement and the Option constitute and
the  Warrants  and  Warrant  Certificates  will  constitute  valid  and  binding
obligations  of Company  enforceable  against  Company in accordance  with their
terms  except as (a) the  enforceability  hereof or  thereof  may be  limited by
applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency or similar laws affecting  creditors' rights
generally  and (b) the  availability  of  equitable  remedies  may be limited by
equitable principles of general applicability.

"Blue Sky" laws.

     3.6. CAPITALIZATION; WARRANT SHARES AS A PERCENT OF CAPITAL STOCK.

          a.  Schedule  3.6  accurately  and  completely  describes  all  of the
     authorized,  issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of Company. All

     Agreement,  Company  is  not  subject  to  any  obligation  (contingent  or
     otherwise)  to purchase or  otherwise  acquire or retire any of its Capital
     Stock, and no Person has any right of first refusal,  preemptive right, put
     right or similar right with respect to any Capital Stock of Company. Except
     as disclosed on Schedule 3.6 or as is required under this Agreement,  there
     are no  outstanding  warrants,  options,  convertible  securities  or other
     rights,  agreements  or  arrangements  under  which  Company  is or  may be
     obligated to issue any Capital  Stock.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.6
     or as is  required  under this  Agreement,  Company  has not granted to any
     Person the right to require  Company to register any  securities of Company
     under the Securities  Act (whether on a demand basis or in connection  with
     the  registration  of  securities of Company for its own account or for the
     account of any other Person).

          c. The Warrant  Shares (as of the date of exercise of the Option) will
     represent  10% of the issued and  outstanding  shares of Capital  Stock and
     voting  rights on a fully  diluted basis (except as provided in Section 1.1
     and subject to adjustment including under Section 5.1.m).

     3.7. RESERVATION AND ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES. Company has reserved among
its currently  authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock the full number of
Warrant  Shares  deliverable  upon exercise of all of the Warrants.  The Warrant
Shares (when and if issued upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance  with the
terms  hereof)  (a) will be duly  authorized,  validly  issued,  fully  paid and
nonassessable, and (b) will be free from all taxes (other than income taxes that
may be imposed  upon the Holder  thereof),  liens  (other than liens that may be
created  by  the  Holder  thereof  as and to the  extent  permitted  under  this
Agreement),  preemptive  rights,  rights of first  refusal or similar  rights of
other equityholders of Company.

     3.8.  DISCLOSURES.  All information  relating to or concerning Company (and
its direct and  indirect  Subsidiaries,  if any) set forth in this  Agreement or
otherwise provided to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement is true,  correct and complete in all material  respects,  and
Company has not omitted to state any  material  fact  necessary in order to make
the statements made herein or therein (in light of the circumstances under which
there were made) not misleading.

<PAGE>

     3.9. ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING PURCHASER'S PURCHASE OF THE WARRANTS. Company
acknowledges  and agrees that (a)  Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of
an arm's length  purchaser with respect to this  Agreement and the  transactions
contemplated  hereby,  and (b)  Company  has been  advised  by legal  counsel in
connection  herewith,  and (c) Purchaser is not acting as a financial advisor or
fiduciary of Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement
or the transactions  contemplated  hereby, and (d) any advice given by Purchaser
or any of its  representatives  or agents in connection  with this Agreement and
the  transactions  contemplated  hereby  is  merely  incidental  to  Purchaser's
purchase of the Warrants.

                  ARTICLE 4 . THE WARRANTS AND WARRANT SHARES

     4.1. WARRANT CERTIFICATES.

          a. Form of  Certificate;  Registration  Among Company's  Records.  The
     Warrants  shall be evidenced by one or more Warrant  Certificates,  each of
     which will be  substantially  in the form of Exhibit C with the  applicable
     legend  specified on Exhibit D (but shall  incorporate such changes therein
     as may be  required  from  time to time to  reflect  any  adjustments  made
     pursuant  to  Article  5).  Each  Warrant  Certificate  shall  be  uniquely
     numbered, shall identify the record Holder thereof, and shall be registered
     on the books and  records of Company in  substantially  the same  manner as
     other equity interests of Company.

          b. Exchange and Transfer of Certificates.  A Warrant  Certificate (and
     the Warrants  evidenced thereby) may be exchanged or (subject to compliance
     with the applicable  requirements  hereof) may be transferred  from time to
     time at the  option  of the  Holder  thereof.  Upon  surrender  of any such
     Warrant Certificate to Company, then Company shall issue and deliver to (or
     in accordance with the written instructions of) such Holder one or more new
     Warrant  Certificates  evidencing  in the  aggregate  the  same  number  of
     Warrants.

          c. Missing and Mutilated  Certificates.  If any Warrant Certificate is
     lost,  stolen,  mutilated or  destroyed,  then Company (upon request of the
     registered  Holder  thereof)  shall issue and deliver to (or in  accordance
     with the  written  instructions  of) such  Holder  one or more  replacement
     Warrant  Certificates  evidencing  in the  aggregate  the  same  number  of
     Warrants.  Company's  obligation  under this Clause is conditioned upon its
     receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of such loss, theft, mutilation
     or destruction.

          d. Authorization of Certificate Signer. Any Warrant Certificate may be
     signed on behalf of Company (and delivered to the Holder entitled  thereto)
     by any  person  who,  on the  actual  date of  execution  of  such  Warrant
     Certificate,   is  a  proper  officer  of  Company  to  sign  such  Warrant
     Certificate even though (1) on the date of execution of this Agreement such
     person was not such an officer,  and/or (2) on the date of delivery of such
     Warrant  Certificate  such  person has  ceased to serve as such  officer of
     Company.

                                       5
<PAGE>

     4.2. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.

          a. Exercise Period.  The Warrants are exercisable at any time and from
     time to time  after the  exercise  of the  Option  and prior to 11:59  p.m.
     (Eastern  Time) on June 30, 2009 (as such period may be extended  from time
     to time by mutual agreement of the Holders and Company, "Exercise Period"),
     at which time any unexercised Warrants shall expire.

          b.  Method  of  Exercise.  A Holder  of any  Warrant  Certificate  may
     exercise any such Warrants from time to time during the Exercise  Period to
     purchase Warrant Shares upon (1) the surrender of such Warrant  Certificate
     evidencing  such  Warrants,  and (2) the payment of the  Exercise  Price in
     cash, by certified or cashier's check payable to the order of Company or by
     wire  transfer  to Company.  Such  surrender  and payment  must occur at an
     office of  Company  or at such other  address  as  Company  may  specify in
     writing to the then registered Holder of such Warrant Certificate.

          c. Issuance of Warrant  Shares Upon  Exercise.  Upon  surrender of any
     Warrant  Certificate  and  payment  of the  applicable  Exercise  Price (as
     described  above in this  Section),  then  Company  shall  issue,  sell and
     deliver  to or  upon  the  instructions  of  the  Holder  of  such  Warrant
     Certificate and/or its designee one or more certificates  evidencing in the
     aggregate  the  number  of  Warrant  Shares  represented  by  such  Warrant
     Certificate  that are then being  purchased  (each of which Warrant  Shares
     shall be validly  issued,  fully paid and  nonassessable).  Any  persons so
     designated  to be named  therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of
     record of such Warrant  Shares as of the date of exercise of such Warrants.
     If less than all of the  Warrants  evidenced by a Warrant  Certificate  are
     exercised  at any time prior to the last day of the Exercise  Period,  then
     Company  shall  issue  to such  Holder  (or its  designee)  one or more new
     Warrant Certificates  evidencing the remaining number of Warrants evidenced
     by such Warrant Certificate that are not then exercised by Holder.

          d.  Rights of a Holder  of  Warrant  Shares  Upon  Exercise.  Upon any
     exercise of Warrants by a Holder entitled thereto in accordance with and as
     provided  under this  Agreement,  the Holder of such issued  Warrant Shares
     shall be entitled  to all of the rights and  benefits of a holder of voting
     Capital Stock under the Organic  Documents of Company as well as the rights
     and  benefits  of  a  Holder  of  Warrant   Shares  under  this   Agreement
     (notwithstanding  any provision of such Organic Documents to the contrary).
     To the extent that the rights and  benefits  of a holder of voting  Capital
     Stock under the Organic  Documents are inconsistent  with or less favorable
     than the  rights and  benefits  of a Holder of  Warrant  Shares  under this
     Agreement,  then the terms and provisions of this  Agreement  shall control
     and govern with respect to the rights and benefits of such Holder.

     4.3. TRANSFERS OF WARRANTS AND WARRANT SHARES.

          a. General  Transferability.  Except as otherwise  expressly  provided
     herein,  upon  compliance  with  any  applicable   requirements  under  the
     Securities Act and the laws,  regulations and orders of and/or administered
     by each State PUC (to the extent  failure to so comply could  reasonably be
     expected to have or cause a material  adverse  effect on the  operations of
     Company)  or  the  FCC,  then  the  Warrants,   the  corresponding  Warrant
     Certificates and the Warrant Shares may be transferred by Purchaser (or any
     other  subsequent  Holder)  from  time  to time in  whole  or in part  upon
     complying

                                       6
<PAGE>

with the right of first refusal under Clause "b" of this Section or as otherwise
provided  under  Clause  "c" of this  Section  (but  without  the  necessity  of
obtaining any consent of Company).

          b. Restrictions on Transferability  (Right of First Refusal).  So long
     as (i) all other holders of equity (or rights to acquire equity) of Company
     are  subject to at least as  restrictive  a condition  on their  ability to
     transfer such equity  interests  and (ii) no Public  Offering has occurred,
     and (iii) no Event of Default then exists under the Credit Agreement,  then
     Prior to selling any of the Warrants to any Person  (other than as provided
     in  Clause  "c"  below),  Purchaser  (or  a  subsequent   Holder-Affiliated
     Transferee who is then the Holder of such Warrants) will afford Company the
     right (for a period of 5 Business  Days after such Holder  provides  notice
     thereof  to  Company)  to  purchase  such  Warrants  on the same  terms and
     conditions  (including price,  consideration and method of payment) as such
     Holder is  proposing  to sell such  Warrants to any such other  Person.  If
     Company does not  irrevocably  commit to so acquire all such Warrants under
     such terms and conditions during such 5-Business-Day period (and thereafter
     consummate such acquisition within 30 calendar days after such commitment),
     then such Holder at any time  thereafter may sell such Warrants to any such
     other Person on terms and  conditions  that are  substantially  the same or
     less  favorable  to such  acquiror  than as was  offered  to  Company.  For
     purposes of the immediately  preceding sentence,  the term "less favorable"
     terms and conditions will include a higher price per Warrant Share and/or a
     higher percentage of consideration in immediately available funds.

          c. Unrestricted  Transferability  to Certain Persons.  Notwithstanding
     the foregoing or any other  provision of this  Agreement,  upon  compliance
     with any  applicable  requirements  under the  Securities Act and the laws,
     regulations  and  orders of and/or  administered  by each State PUC (to the
     extent failure to so comply could reasonably be expected to have or cause a
     material  adverse effect on the operations of Company) or the FCC, then the
     Warrants,  the  Warrant  Certificates  and/or  the  Warrant  Shares  may be
     transferred by Purchaser (or any other subsequent Holder) from time to time
     in whole or in part without any restriction or condition (including without
     the  necessity  of  complying  with  any  right of  first  refusal)  to any
     Holder-Affiliated Transferee, to any Affiliate of such Holder and/or to any
     Person who is also  acquiring  some or all of the  indebtedness  of Company
     under the Credit Agreement.

          d. Treatment of Holder Prior to Notice of Transfer. Prior to receiving
     notice  of any  such  transfer  (either  from  such  Holder  or  from  such
     transferee), Company shall be otherwise entitled to treat such known Holder
     as the Holder of record  hereunder  for  purposes  of giving and  receiving
     notices and for purposes of exercising rights hereunder.

          e.  Rights  of  a  Subsequent  Holder.  Unless  otherwise  limited  or
     restricted  pursuant to the document of transfer,  then a subsequent Holder
     of Warrants,  Warrant  Certificates  or Warrant Shares  hereunder  shall be
     entitled to all of the rights and benefits of the transferring Holder under
     this Agreement and under the Organic Documents.

     4.4. REGISTRATION AND RELATED RIGHTS.

          a.  Incidental  Registration  in a Public  Offering.  Each  Holder  of
     Warrant  Shares and each Holder of Warrants shall have the right to require
     Company to include all or (at such

                                       7
<PAGE>

Holder's  election)  any portion of such Warrant  Shares and the Warrant  Shares
purchasable  upon  exercise  of any such  Warrants  in any  Public  Offering  of
Company's securities.

     Company  shall give  written  notice to each  Holder of  Warrants  and each
Holder of Warrant Shares (at each such Holder's last known address as it appears
on Company's  books and records)  promptly  after the  occurrence  of any of the
following  events:  (i) Company  deciding to proceed  with any  registration  of
securities  that would  constitute a Public Offering if declared  effective,  or
(ii)  the  initial  filing  of a  registration  statement  with  the  Commission
pertaining  to any  Public  Offering,  or (iii)  any  amendment,  supplement  or
modification  to any  registration  statement  for a Public  Offering by Company
(other than amendments,  supplements and modifications that occur  automatically
through incorporation by reference as a result of subsequently prepared publicly
available materials), or (iv) any withdrawal of any registration statement for a
Public  Offering by Company.  Once any such  registration  statement is declared
effective  by the  Commission,  then  Company may not amend or modify it without
providing each Holder of Warrants and each Holder of Warrant Shares with written
notice  thereof at least 5 Business  Days prior to filing any such  amendment or
modification with the Commission.

     In connection  with any such Public  Offering,  Company shall enter into an
underwriting  agreement with one or more underwriters that shall provide,  among
other things,  that the  underwriters  shall offer to purchase at the closing of
such Public  Offering all of the Warrant Shares and all of the Warrants (or such
lesser  portion  thereof  as any Holder  may  request)  at the price paid by the
underwriters  for  the  Capital  Stock  (or if a  security  convertible  into or
exchangeable  for, or rights to purchase,  Capital Stock,  then the  conversion,
exchange or purchase  price for the Capital Stock  provided for by such security
less the conversion,  exchange or exercise premium on the date of such offering)
sold by Company and/or any selling shareholders (less, with respect to Warrants,
the  Exercise  Price then in  effect).  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if the
underwriters  shall advise  Company in writing  that,  in their  experience  and
professional  opinion  arrived  at in good  faith  based  upon  existing  market
conditions, inclusion of such number of Warrant Shares (together with the shares
of Capital Stock requested for registration by any other selling  equityholders)
will adversely  affect the price or distribution of the securities to be offered
in such Public  Offering  solely for the  account of  Company,  then (1) Company
shall  promptly  furnish each such Holder with a copy of such written  advice by
the underwriters, and (2) such Holders shall then have the right to include only
such number of Warrant Shares and Warrants that such advice by the  underwriters
indicates may be distributed without adversely affecting the distribution of the
securities  solely for Company's  account.  As among  Holders of Warrant  Shares
and/or  Warrants,  such  availability for inclusion in the registration for such
Public  Offering  shall be  allocated  pro rata based  upon the total  number of
Warrant Shares owned or purchasable by such Holder.  As between such Holders and
any other  holders of Capital  Stock  requesting  to be  included in such Public
Offering,  priority for inclusion in the  registration  for such Public Offering
shall be  allocated  pro rata based  upon the total  number of shares of Capital
Stock owned or purchasable by such holder and the Holders.

     In  connection  with an Initial  Public  Offering,  provided that all other
holders  of equity  interests  of Company  are  subject  to  identical  (or more
restrictive) restrictions with respect to their equity interests, each Holder of
Warrants and each Holder of Warrant Shares shall agree to refrain

                                       8
<PAGE>

from  selling  or  otherwise  transferring  (other  than to a  Holder-Affiliated
Transferee)  any Warrant Shares not included in such Initial Public Offering for
a period of time (not to exceed 90 calendar days after the effective date of the
registration  statement for such Initial Public  Offering) as may be appropriate
under the circumstances and reasonably requested by Company and the underwriters
for such offering.

          b.  Demand  Registration  Following  an  Initial  Public  Offering  or
     Surviving Public Combination.  In addition to any other registration rights
     to which any  Holder is  entitled,  at any time and from time to time after
     the  closing  of  an  Initial  Public   Offering  or  a  Surviving   Public
     Combination,  Company  (upon each request of Holders of at least 50% of the
     Warrant Shares and Warrants) shall prepare,  shall file with the Commission
     and shall use its best efforts to cause to become  effective as promptly as
     reasonably possible a registration  statement (on Form S-3 or any successor
     form,  if available)  covering such number of Warrant  Shares owned or then
     purchasable as is requested by such Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
     Company  shall not be  required  to so prepare  and file upon the demand of
     such Holders  either (a) more than three (3) such  registration  statements
     that are declared  effective by the  Commission and maintained in effect by
     Company for at least 90 consecutive calendar days and are not on a Form S-3
     (or any successor form), or (b) any such registration  statement within the
     first 90 calendar days after the closing of an Initial Public Offering,  or
     (c) any such registration statement within the first 90 calendar days after
     the  closing  of a  Public  Offering  that  was  effective  for at least 90
     consecutive  calendar  days and in which 50% or more of the Warrant  Shares
     and Warrants were included.

     In connection with any such demand registration, Company shall use its best
efforts to engage (or, at Holders' request, shall use its best efforts to assist
Holders in engaging) one or more underwriters to purchase on a best-efforts or a
firm-offer  basis the Warrant  Shares owned or then  purchasable at the price at
which such  Warrant  Shares are to be resold under such  registration  statement
less the underwriters'  discount (less,  with respect to Warrants,  the Exercise
Price then in effect). The registration  statement shall also provide that sales
of the Warrant Shares may be made by dealers, on an exchange if listed, directly
to purchasers  or in any other  manner.  No such  registration  statement  filed
pursuant to this demand  registration  provision (without the consent of Holders
of at least 50% of the total  Warrant  Shares  and  Warrants)  may relate to any
securities  other than the Warrant Shares,  and no other  securities may be sold
incidentally  to any such  underwritten  public  offering  of Warrant  Shares so
registered.

     In  connection  with any  such  demand  registration,  Company  shall  keep
effective  and maintain  the  registration,  qualification,  approval or listing
covering  the Warrant  Shares for a period of at least 90  consecutive  calendar
days (or in the event such registration is on Form S-3 or any successor form, on
a continuous  basis).  Company from time to time shall amend or  supplement  the
prospectus  and  registration   statement  used  in  connection  with  any  such
registration to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law (including to
reflect additional information relating to the plan of distribution),  and shall
immediately advise each Holder if any such prospectus or registration  statement
does not so  comply  and/or  if any stop  order or  similar  order is  issued or
threatened  or any request for  amendment  or  supplement  is received  from any
regulatory  agency.  Company shall make every  reasonable  effort to prevent the
issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain

                                       9
<PAGE>

the lifting thereof at the earliest  possible moment.  Company shall comply with
all other  applicable laws in connection with any offering of Warrant Shares and
will promptly make  available an earnings  statement in accordance  with Section
11(a) of the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

          c. Holders  Entitled to  Equivalent  Rights.  If Company has otherwise
     granted  or  hereafter  grants  to  any  Person  any  other  or  additional
     registration  rights with respect to any  securities of Company (or similar
     registration  rights with any more  favorable or less  restrictive  terms),
     then Company will  promptly  notify each Holder of Warrants and each Holder
     of Warrant Shares,  and such registration  rights (or the more favorable or
     less  restrictive  terms  thereof)  will  be  deemed  automatically  to  be
     incorporated into this Agreement (without the necessity of any other action
     by the parties hereto) as additional  registration  rights that each Holder
     is entitled to exercise.

          d. Sales Through  Underwriters  and Dealers.  Company shall effect the
     registration or qualification  of the Warrant Shares,  and the notification
     to or approval  of any  governmental  authority  under any federal or state
     law, and the listing with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock
     is  listed,  in each  instance  as may be  necessary  to permit the sale of
     Warrant  Shares  through  underwriters,  and,  in  the  case  of  a  demand
     registration hereunder,  also through dealers, on an exchange,  directly to
     purchasers or in any other manner.

          e. Certain Additional Agreements in Connection with Registrations.  In
     connection with any Public Offering,  Company (1) shall enter into, execute
     and deliver all agreements and other  instruments and documents  (including
     opinions of counsel,  comfort letters and underwriting agreements) that are
     customary  and  appropriate  with  such  public  offerings,  and (2)  shall
     cooperate with any  underwriters to facilitate  sales of the Warrant Shares
     to the same extent as if such Warrant Shares were being offered directly by
     Company,  and (3) shall  furnish  each  Holder  such  numbers  of copies of
     registration  statements and  prospectuses  (and amendments and supplements
     thereto) as such Holder may reasonably request, and (4) shall take all such
     other actions as are necessary or advisable to facilitate the  registration
     and sale of such Warrant Shares.  In connection with any Public Offering as
     to which any Holder is requesting registration of Warrant Shares, each such
     Holder (i) shall provide Company with such  information  regarding  itself,
     himself or herself as may be reasonably required by Company, and (ii) shall
     reasonably  cooperate with Company in the  preparation of the  registration
     statement,  and (iii) shall enter into,  execute and deliver all agreements
     and other  instruments and documents that are customary and appropriate for
     selling  equityholders  to execute in  connection  with a secondary  public
     offering.

          f.  Indemnification  by Company.  In  connection  with any offering of
     Warrant Shares  pursuant to the provisions of this Section,  Company hereby
     indemnifies  and holds  harmless each Holder of Warrants and each Holder of
     Warrant Shares (and the directors, officers and controlling Persons of each
     such  Holder),  each other  Person (if any) who acts on behalf of or at the
     request of any such  Holder,  each  underwriter,  and each other Person who
     participates in the offering of Warrant Shares (collectively,  for purposes
     of this Clause,  the  "Indemnified  Parties")  against any losses,  claims,
     damages or liabilities,  joint or several,  to which such Indemnified Party
     may become  subject  under the  Securities  Act or any other  statute or at
     common law,  insofar as such losses,

                                       10
<PAGE>

claims,  damages or liabilities (or actions in respect  thereof) arise out of or
are based upon either of the following:

               (i) any untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue  statement  of any
          material  fact  contained  (on  the  effective  date  thereof)  in any
          registration  statement  (or any amendment  thereto)  under which such
          Warrant  Shares  were  registered  under the  Securities  Act,  or the
          omission or alleged omission  therefrom of a material fact required to
          be stated  therein or necessary  to make the  statements  therein,  in
          light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
          or

               (ii) any  untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue  statement  of a
          material fact  contained in any  preliminary  prospectus or prospectus
          (or any  amendment or  supplement  thereto) or the omission or alleged
          omission therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements
          therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
          misleading, or

               (iii) any  violation by Company of any federal or state law, rule
          or  regulation   applicable   to  Company  in   connection   with  any
          registration  statement or prospectus  (or any amendment or supplement
          thereto).

Company shall also  reimburse each such  Indemnified  Party for any legal or any
other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending
any  such  loss,  claim,  damage,  liability  or  action.   Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  Company shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party in any such case
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based  upon any  untrue or  alleged  untrue  statement  or  omission  or alleged
omission  made  in  such   registration   statement,   preliminary   prospectus,
prospectus,  or amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity  with
written information  furnished to Company through an instrument duly executed by
such  Indemnified  Party  specifically  stating  that  it is  expressly  for use
therein.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive
the transfer of such Warrants or Warrant Shares by any such Holder.

          g.  Indemnification  by Holders.  Each Holder whose Warrant Shares are
     sold  under  any  registration  statement  pursuant  to  this  Section  (by
     inclusion of such  Warrant  Shares  thereunder)  shall  indemnify  and hold
     harmless Company (the officers, directors and controlling Persons thereof),
     each other Holder of Warrants and each other Holder of Warrant  Shares (and
     the directors,  officers and controlling Persons of each such Holder), each
     other Person (if any) who acts on behalf of or at the request of Company or
     such other Holder, each underwriter, and each other Person who participates
     in the  offering  of Warrant  Shares  (collectively,  for  purposes of this
     Clause, the "Indemnified  Parties") against any losses,  claims, damages or
     liabilities,  joint or several,  to which such Indemnified Party may become
     subject  under the  Securities  Act or any other  statute or at common law,
     insofar as such  losses,  claims,  damages or  liabilities  (or  actions in
     respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon either of the following:

               (i) any untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue  statement  of any
          material  fact  contained  (on  the  effective  date  thereof)  in any
          registration statement (or any

                                       11
<PAGE>

          amendment  thereto)  under which such Warrant  Shares were  registered
          under  the  Securities  Act at the  request  of  such  Holder,  or the
          omission or alleged omission  therefrom of a material fact required to
          be stated  therein or necessary  to make the  statements  therein,  in
          light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
          or

               (ii) any  untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue  statement  of a
          material fact  contained in any  preliminary  prospectus or prospectus
          (or any  amendment or  supplement  thereto) or the omission or alleged
          omission therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements
          therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
          not misleading;

but only to the extent (with  respect to either of the  foregoing  Clauses) that
such  untrue  statement  or alleged  untrue  statement  or  omission  or alleged
omission  was  made  in such  registration  statement,  preliminary  prospectus,
prospectus,  amendment or supplement  in reliance  upon and in  conformity  with
written information  furnished to Company through an instrument duly executed by
such Holder specifically stating that it is expressly for use therein. Each such
Holder shall also  reimburse  each such  Indemnified  Party for any legal or any
other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending
any  such  loss,  claim,  damage,  liability  or  action.   Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  no such Holder shall be liable to any Indemnified  Party in any such
instance to the extent (a) such loss, claim,  damage or liability relates to any
untrue statement or omission, or any alleged untrue statement or omission,  made
in a preliminary  prospectus but  eliminated or remedied in a final  prospectus,
and (b) a copy of the final prospectus was not delivered to the Person asserting
the claim at or prior to the time required by the  Securities Act in an instance
for which  delivery  thereof  would  have  constituted  a  defense  to the claim
asserted by such Person.

          h. Certain  Notices and Other Rights  Relating to  Indemnification.  A
     party from whom indemnity may be sought  pursuant to the provisions of this
     Section shall not be liable for such indemnity with respect to any claim as
     to which  indemnity is sought unless the party seeking such indemnity shall
     have  notified  such  indemnifying  party in  writing of the nature of such
     claim promptly after such indemnified  party becomes aware of the assertion
     thereof.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  failure to so notify  such
     indemnifying party shall not relieve such party from any liability which it
     may  have to such  indemnified  party  otherwise  than  on  account  of the
     provisions  of this Section or if the failure to give such notice  promptly
     shall not have been prejudicial to such indemnifying party. No indemnifying
     party shall be liable for any  compromise  or settlement of any such action
     effected without its consent.  No indemnifying party (in the defense of any
     such claim or suit),  without the consent of each indemnified  party, shall
     consent  to any  compromise  or  settlement  that  does not  include  as an
     unconditional  term thereof the giving by the claimant to such  indemnified
     party of a complete  release from all liability in respect of such claim or
     suit.

          i.   Contribution.   In  order  to  provide  for  just  and  equitable
     contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification  provided for in
     this Section for any reason is held to be unenforceable although applicable
     in  accordance  with  its  terms,  Company  and  the  Holders,  as  amongst
     themselves,  shall contribute to the losses, claims,  damages,  liabilities
     and  expenses  described  herein in such  proportions  so that the  portion
     thereof for which any Holder shall be

                                       12
<PAGE>

     responsible  shall be limited to the portion  determined  by a court or the
     parties  to  any  settlement  to be  directly  attributable  to  an  untrue
     statement of a material  fact or an omission to state a material  fact in a
     registration statement, preliminary prospectus,  prospectus or amendment or
     supplement thereto in specific reliance upon and in conformity with written
     information  furnished to Company  through an  instrument  duly executed by
     such Holder specifically  stating that it is expressly for use therein, and
     Company  shall  be  responsible  for  the  balance.   Notwithstanding   the
     foregoing,  the  liability  of each  Holder  shall  be  limited  to the net
     proceeds  received by such Holder from the sale of the Warrant  Shares sold
     by it  thereunder.  Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just
     and equitable if their  respective  obligations  to  contribute  were to be
     determined by pro rata allocation, by reference to the proceeds realized by
     them or in any  manner  which  does not take  into  account  the  equitable
     considerations set forth in this Clause.

     4.5. RIGHTS UPON EQUITY DISPOSITIONS AND NON-SURVIVING TRANSACTIONS.

          a. Offer to Purchase. In connection with any Equity Disposition or any
     Non-Surviving   Transaction,   Company  or  the   acquiror  in  any  Equity
     Disposition or  Non-Surviving  Transaction  shall also offer to purchase on
     the  terms  set  forth  below  all of the  Warrant  Shares  and  all of the
     Warrants. If an Equity Disposition is of less than all of the Capital Stock
     then outstanding, then the number of Warrants and Warrant Shares subject to
     purchase  under  this  Section  shall be  reduced  proportionately  (to the
     nearest whole  number),  and such reduced number will be allocated pro rata
     among  all  Holders  desiring  to tender  Warrant  Shares  or  Warrants  in
     connection with such transaction.

          b. Notice of Proposed  Transaction.  Company shall give written notice
     to each Holder of Warrants and each Holder of Warrant  Shares (at each such
     Holder's last known  address as it appears on Company's  books and records)
     promptly  after an  agreement  in  principle is reached with respect to any
     Equity Disposition or any Non-Surviving  Transaction (but, in any event, at
     least 30 calendar days prior to the closing of any such transaction).

          c. Purchase  Price.  If a Holder accepts the offer under this Section,
     then (as a condition  to  consummation  of such Equity  Disposition  or any
     Non-Surviving  Transaction)  either Company or such acquiror shall purchase
     (either before or concurrently  with the consummation of such  transaction)
     all  Warrants  and Warrant  Shares  tendered by a Holder  thereof at a cash
     price per Warrant and  Warrant  Share equal to the result of the  following
     formula:

               (i) the product of (1) the  aggregate  consideration  received by
          all sellers and  transferors  in connection  with such  transaction or
          series of related  transactions  (including  the  consideration  to be
          received  by the holders of Warrants  and Warrant  Shares  pursuant to
          this  provision)  and (2) a  fraction  the  numerator  of which is the
          number of  Warrants  and  Warrant  Shares  tendered  for  purchase  in
          connection with such transaction or series of related transactions and
          the  denominator of which is the sum of the number of shares of Common
          Stock  outstanding  immediately prior to such transaction or series of
          related  transactions  plus the number of Warrants and Warrant  Shares
          tendered for  purchase  (which  result is the amount of  consideration
          available

                                       13
<PAGE>

          for all Warrants and Warrant Shares  tendered in connection  with such
          transaction), divided by

               (ii) the number of  Warrants  and  Warrant  Shares  tendered  for
          purchase in  connection  with such  transaction  (which  result is the
          amount of  consideration  available for each Warrant and Warrant Share
          tendered in connection with such transaction), minus

               (iii) the Exercise Price then in effect (but only with respect to
          Warrants and not Warrant Shares).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any such Equity Disposition or
Non-Surviving Transaction,  each Holder may elect (at its option) to receive the
purchase  price  payable under this Section pro rata in kind in the same form of
consideration as is to be received by Company or such selling equityholder.

          d. Payment of Purchase  Price.  Company (either before or concurrently
     with  the  consummation  of  such  transactions)  shall  distribute  to the
     respective  Holders of Warrants and Warrant Shares (or to such other Person
     as such Holder may direct Company in writing) the applicable purchase price
     for each  tendered  Warrant  Share and  Warrant in cash,  by  certified  or
     cashier's  check, by wire transfer or by any other means acceptable to such
     Holder. In addition, Company shall also deliver to each such Holder (as and
     to the extent  applicable) a return or  re-issuance of Warrants and Warrant
     Shares not purchased in connection with any such transaction.

          e.  Determination  of  "Aggregate  Consideration".  Unless  the entire
     consideration  in such  transaction  consists  of cash or unless  otherwise
     agreed by Holders of Warrants  and Warrant  Shares,  then the fair value of
     the "aggregate consideration" to be received by all sellers and transferors
     in connection with an Equity Disposition or Non-Surviving Transaction shall
     be determined by an Independent Appraiser selected by Holders of a majority
     of the Warrants and Warrant Shares and approved by Company (which  approval
     may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Such Independent
     Appraiser  shall use one or more  valuation  methods  that the  Independent
     Appraiser  (in  its  best  professional  judgment)  determines  to be  most
     appropriate  under the  circumstances;  provided,  that (i) such  valuation
     methods  shall take into  account  any  related  agreements  that result in
     personal  gain,  payments  or  compensation  to any  director,  officer  or
     equityholder  of Company,  and (ii) such  valuation  methods shall not give
     effect to (1) any discount for any lack of liquidity or minority status, or
     (2) the fact that such equity  securities  may not be registered  under the
     Securities Act. Such  Independent  Appraiser,  as promptly as is reasonably
     possible,  will  prepare  and  deliver to Company  and to each  Holder of a
     Warrant or Warrant  Share a written  valuation  report  indicating  (a) the
     methods  of  valuation  considered  or  used,  and  (b)  the  value  of the
     "aggregate  consideration"  paid by the  acquiror  in  connection  with the
     particular  Equity  Disposition or  Non-Surviving  Transaction or otherwise
     received by the sellers and  transferors in connection  therewith,  and (c)
     the nature and scope of the  examination  or  investigation  upon which the
     determination of value was made.  Unless the valuation report is revised by
     the Independent  Appraiser within 5 Business Days after delivery thereof or
     unless Company and Holders  otherwise

                                       14
<PAGE>

mutually  agree,  then the valuation  report shall be deemed final at the end of
such 5-Business-Day  period.  Company shall pay the fees and expenses associated
with the Independent Appraiser.

     4.6. REPURCHASE OFFERS.

          a.  Offer  to  Repurchase.  Within  30  calendar  days  following  the
     occurrence of any Repurchase Condition,  Company shall make a written offer
     (each, a "Repurchase  Offer") to repurchase at the  Repurchase  Price up to
     all of the Warrant  Shares and  Warrants  owned by each  Holder.  Each such
     Repurchase Offer (among other things) shall indicate the date of occurrence
     of the relevant Repurchase Condition and shall provide a calculation of the
     Current   Market  Price  per  Warrant  Share   (together  with  a  copy  of
     documentation  supporting such  calculation).  Each such  Repurchase  Offer
     shall be  delivered  by Company  to each such  Holder  entitled  thereto by
     first-class  mail to the last known address of such Holder on the books and
     records of Company.

          b. "Repurchase Condition".  A "Repurchase Condition" will be deemed to
     occur (1) on February  28, 2002,  and (2) on February 28, 2009,  and (3) at
     any time after February 28, 2002, and prior to June 30, 2009 upon a written
     request  from  Holders  of at least  50% of the  outstanding  Warrants  and
     Warrant Shares,  and (4) upon any full repayment of the indebtedness  under
     the Loan  Documents,  and (5) upon the  occurrence  of any Event of Default
     under and as defined in the Credit Agreement.

          c.  "Repurchase  Price".  The "Repurchase  Price" for each Warrant and
     Warrant  Share in  connection  with any such  Repurchase  Offer will be the
     greater of (a) the  Deferred  Interest  (as  determined  and defined in the
     Credit  Agreement)  as of the  date of  consummating  any  such  Repurchase
     transaction  (or if Lender  has  previously  opted to  exercise  the Option
     rather than  collect the Deferred  Interest,  then as of the date that such
     decision  was made)  divided by the number of Warrants  and Warrant  Shares
     then  outstanding or (b) the Current  Market Price per Warrant Share,  less
     with respect to Warrants (but not Warrant  Shares) the Exercise  Price then
     in effect.

          d. Acceptance of Repurchase Offer. At any time within 60 calendar days
     after a Holder  receives a Repurchase  Offer (together with a final written
     valuation  report),  each such Holder may accept such  Repurchase  Offer by
     agreeing  to tender for  repurchase  by Company  all or any portion of such
     Holder's Warrant Shares and Warrants.

          e. Payment of Purchase Price. Within 30 calendar days of receiving any
     such  agreement  to  tender  Warrant  Shares  or  Warrants,  Company  shall
     distribute  to each such Holder (or to such other Person as such Holder may
     direct  Company in writing) the applicable  Repurchase  Price for each such
     tendered  Warrant  Share and Warrant in cash,  by  certified  or  cashier's
     check,  by wire  transfer or by any other means  acceptable  to such Holder
     (concurrently with which distribution, such Holder shall deliver to Company
     the Warrant Certificates and/or Warrant Shares). In addition, Company shall
     also deliver to each such Holder (as and to the extent applicable) a return
     or re-issuance of Warrants and Warrant Shares not tendered for  repurchase.
     Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  with respect to the  Repurchase  Condition
     occurring  concurrently  with any full repayment of the indebtedness  under
     the Loan Documents under Clause "b(4)" above,  unless the Holders otherwise
     consent, Company shall establish a cash escrow of the Repurchase Price with
     a "well

                                       15
<PAGE>

     capitalized"  depository  institution   concurrently  with  any  such  full
     repayment  of the  indebtedness  under  the Loan  Documents  (but such cash
     escrow shall be returned to Company if the Holders elect not to accept such
     Repurchase Offer).

     4.7. CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. The rights of Holders upon the occurrence of events
set forth in this Article 4 are  cumulative.  If more than one such event occurs
simultaneously  (or the time period for  exercising  any such rights  overlaps),
then each  Holder  can elect  which  rights (if any) to  exercise  and any prior
inclusion  or  surrender  of  Warrants  or  Warrant  Shares  with  respect  to a
transaction  that has not yet closed may be rescinded by such Holder during such
overlapping  period in order to exercise  rights arising under any  concurrently
occurring event.

     4.8. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS  CONDITIONED UPON CLOSING OF TRANSACTION  INVOLVED.
The rights of Holders to have  Warrants or Warrant  Shares  included and sold in
any Public  Offering or purchased  in any Equity  Disposition  or  Non-Surviving
Transaction  pursuant to this Article 4 are conditioned upon the consummation of
the proposed  transaction.  Neither Company nor any equityholder involved in any
such proposed transaction shall have any obligation to Holders to consummate any
such proposed  transaction once an agreement in principle or decision to proceed
with respect thereto is reached, except as expressly provided in this Article 4.

     4.9.  PAYMENT  OF  TAXES  AND  EXPENSES.  Company  will  pay  all  expenses
(including  reasonable  costs and expenses of Holders and legal counsel thereto,
but excluding  underwriter's  and/or broker's discounts and commissions),  taxes
(other  than  income  taxes)  and other  fees and  charges  attributable  to the
issuance, registration, qualification, notification, approval, listing, transfer
pursuant  to  Section  4.5,  and/or  repurchase  of the  Warrants,  the  Warrant
Certificates and the Warrant Shares.

     4.10.  RESERVATION  AND  ISSUANCE OF WARRANT  SHARES.  Company at all times
shall  reserve  (and keep  free from  preemptive  rights  or  similar  rights of
equityholders  of Company) among its  authorized but unissued  shares of Capital
Stock the full number of Warrant Shares  deliverable upon exercise of all of the
Warrants.  Company  covenants  that all Warrant  Shares (when and if issued upon
exercise  of the  Warrants in  accordance  with the terms  hereof)  will be duly
authorized,  validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (and will be free from
all taxes,  liens,  charges and security  interests with respect to the issuance
thereof).  Before taking any action that could cause an  adjustment  pursuant to
Article 5,  Company will take any  corporate  action that (in the opinion of its
counsel) may be necessary or  appropriate  in order that Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable  Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price
as so adjusted.

     4.11.  CORRECTIVE  ADJUSTMENTS.  Company hereby acknowledges that Purchaser
has relied upon, among other things,  the  representation and warranty set forth
in Section 3.6 regarding the outstanding Capital Stock of Company and the rights
to acquire Capital Stock of Company as of the date of this  Agreement.  If it is
later determined that the  representation  and warranty set forth in Section 3.6
is untrue or  inaccurate  such that the  outstanding  Capital Stock or rights to
acquire  Capital  Stock are  greater  that the amount  disclosed  therein,  then
Company  shall  notify  each  Holder  in  writing  within  10  Business  Days of
discovering such inaccuracy and shall promptly  prepare,  execute and deliver to
the Holders such  additional  documents  and  certificates  as are  necessary to
equitably

                                       16
<PAGE>

adjust the Warrants and Warrant Shares deliverable upon exercise of all Warrants
for the benefit of  Holders.  Such  adjustment  shall  include  the  issuance of
additional  Warrants or the  reduction  in Exercise  Price of the  Warrants,  as
approved in writing by Holders of a majority of the Warrants.

     4.12. LISTING OF SHARES. If Company lists any shares of Common Stock on any
national  securities  exchange,  inter-dealer  quotation system or other market,
then  Company (at its  expense)  will use its best  efforts to cause the Warrant
Shares to be  approved  for  listing,  subject to notice of  issuance,  and will
provide  prompt  notice to each  such  exchange,  system or other  market of the
issuance thereof from time to time.

     4.13. LISTS OF HOLDERS.  Company (from time to time upon the request of any
Holder) will provide such Holder with a list of the registered Holders and their
respective addresses.

     4.14.  STATEMENT OF WARRANT  INTEREST.  Company (from time to time upon the
request of any  Holder)  will  provide  such  Holder  with a  statement  of such
Holder's   interest  in  Company   containing  the  following   information  (as
applicable):  (a) the number of Warrants that would be issued if the Option were
then exercised (and an  explanation,  in reasonable  detail,  of the calculation
thereof),  and (b) the number of Warrants  then owned of record by such  Holder,
and (c) the number of  Warrant  Shares  purchasable  upon the  exercise  of each
Warrant then owned of record by such Holder,  and (d) the Exercise Price of each
Warrant  then  owned of record by such  Holder,  and (e) the  number of  Warrant
Shares  then  owned of record by such  Holder,  and (f) a chart  describing  (in
reasonable detail) the then current capitalization of Company.

     4.15. RIGHT OF INSPECTION.  At any time and from time to time during normal
business hours (upon  reasonable  prior written  notice) Company will permit any
Holder (or any agent or  representative  thereof,  but at such Holder's cost and
expense) (i) to visit, and (ii) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from
the books and records of Company and its Subsidiaries,  and (iii) to discuss the
affairs,  finances,  and  accounts of Company and its  Subsidiaries  with any of
their respective officers, directors and independent accountants.

     4.16.  ATTENDANCE  AND  PARTICIPATION  RIGHTS.  So long as the Warrants and
Warrant Shares of Holders collectively  represent 5% or more of the Common Stock
of Company (on a fully diluted basis), then a representative of Holders shall be
entitled  (if at any time  hereafter  Holders  so elect)  to attend  each of the
meetings of Company's Board of Directors  (including,  each committee  thereof).
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  at the request of Company,  representatives  of
Holders may be required  temporarily  to leave any such  meeting of the Board of
Directors  if such action is  necessary  to preserve  Company's  attorney-client
privilege with respect to such meetings or the information disseminated therein.
In addition,  at all times while any Holder owns Warrant Shares  representing 5%
or more of the issued and outstanding  Common Stock, such Holder (at its option)
shall be entitled to designate a pro rata percent of the  positions on the Board
of Directors (and each  committee  thereof) of Company  (rounded  upwards to the
next whole number).  The Company will cause any directors designated by a Holder
to be included among the nominees who are  recommended for election as directors
by management of the Company,  at each meeting of the Company's  stockholders at
which directors of the Company are proposed to be elected.

                                       17
<PAGE>

     4.17.  COMPLIANCE  WITH APPROVAL  REQUIREMENTS.  If any Warrants or Warrant
Shares require  registration  or approval of the FCC, any State PUC or any other
governmental  authority (or the taking of any other action under the laws of the
United  States of America or any  political  subdivision  thereof)  before  such
securities  may be validly  issued,  then Company will secure and maintain  such
registration or approval or will take such other action as and when necessary.

                      ARTICLE 5 . ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS

     5.1. ADJUSTMENTS TO WARRANT SHARES PURCHASABLE AND EXERCISE PRICE.

          a. General Intent Regarding Anti-Dilution. It is the intent of Company
     and  Purchaser  that the Warrant  Shares  purchasable  upon exercise of the
     Warrants (as of the date on which the Option is exercised)  (together  with
     the rights under Clause 5.1 regarding  preemptive rights) will represent at
     least 10% of the issued and outstanding  shares of Capital Stock and voting
     rights from time to time on a fully diluted basis. It is also the intent of
     Company and  Purchaser  that the  aggregate  purchase  price to acquire the
     percentage  interest  represented by the Warrant Shares (on a fully diluted
     basis) not exceed the aggregate Exercise Price for all Warrant Shares as of
     the effective date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the percentage of
     the  issued and  outstanding  shares of Capital  Stock  represented  by the
     Warrants and/or Warrant Shares may increase from time to time hereafter (i)
     upon the  occurrence of any redemption of equity as to which Holders do not
     participate,   and/or  (ii)  if  any   Subsidiaries   of  Company  are  not
     wholly-owned  by  Company.   Further  notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the
     anti-dilution  protections contained in this Subsection "a" and Subsections
     "c" and "e" of this Section 5.1 shall not apply to (and the  percentage  of
     the  issued and  outstanding  shares of Capital  Stock  represented  by the
     Warrants  and/or Warrant Shares may decrease upon) any sale of Common Stock
     in connection with which the price per share sold is based upon a valuation
     of the equity of the  Company  that is no less than $20.0  million and with
     respect to which  Holders  elect not to exercise  preemptive  rights  under
     Subsection  "h".  For purposes of  Subsections  "c" and "e" of this Section
     5.1, the "Target  Market Price" shall mean the price per share at such time
     determined based upon a $20.0 million valuation of the equity.

          b. Equity Dividends, Restructurings and Reclassifications.  If Company
     at any time (1)  declares  or pays a dividend  on its  outstanding  Capital
     Stock in shares of Common  Stock or other  securities  of  Company,  or (2)
     subdivides  its  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock,  or (3) combines its
     outstanding  shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (4)
     issues by  reclassification of the Common Stock other securities of Company
     (including  any  such   reclassification   in  connection  with  a  merger,
     consolidation  or  other  business  combination  in  which  Company  is the
     surviving  entity),  then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable
     upon  exercise of each  Warrant  shall be adjusted so that each Holder of a
     Warrant  upon  exercise  of such  Warrant  shall be entitled to receive the
     aggregate  number and kind of Warrant Shares or other securities of Company
     that such  Holder  would have owned or would have been  entitled to receive
     after the  occurrence  of any such event had such  Warrant  been  exercised
     immediately  prior to the  occurrence  of such event (or, if  earlier,  any
     record date with respect thereto).  Any adjustment

                                       18
<PAGE>

required by this  Clause (a) shall  become  effective  on the date of such event
retroactive  to the record date with respect  thereto (if any), and (b) shall be
made successively whenever any such event occurs.

          c. Rights to Purchase Below Target  Current  Market Price.  If Company
     issues any rights,  options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common
     Stock (or securities  convertible or  exchangeable  into Common Stock) at a
     price per share (or having a conversion  or exchange  price per share) less
     than the  Target  Market  Price  per  share  of  Common  Stock  or  without
     consideration,  then the current  Exercise Price to be in effect after such
     issuance shall be reduced to a price determined as follows:

          multiply (1) the Exercise  Price in effect  immediately  prior to such
          issuance by (2) a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of
          shares of Common Stock  outstanding  on the date of such issuance plus
          the  number of shares of Common  Stock  which the  aggregate  offering
          price of the total  number of shares of Common  Stock so to be offered
          (or  the  aggregate  initial  conversion  or  exchange  price  of  the
          convertible  or  exchangeable  securities  so  to  be  offered)  would
          purchase at the Target Market Price and (ii) the  denominator of which
          is the  number of shares of Common  Stock  outstanding  on the date of
          such issuance plus the number of additional  shares of Common Stock to
          be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible
          or   exchangeable   securities   so  to  be  offered   are   initially
          convertible).

The  provisions  of this  Clause,  however,  will not apply to any  issuance  of
Warrants or to any issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of any Warrants.  If
such subscription price may be paid in a consideration any of which is in a form
other  than  cash,  then the value of such  consideration  (unless  Company  and
Holders  otherwise  mutually  agree) shall be as  determined  by an  Independent
Appraiser,  and the Board of Directors of Company shall cause the related shares
to be fully  paid.  Any  adjustment  required  by this  Clause (a) shall  become
effective on the date of issuance retroactive to the record date for determining
equityholders  entitled  to  receive  such  issuance,  and  (b)  shall  be  made
successively whenever any such event occurs.

          d.  Distributions  of Indebtedness,  Assets or Securities.  If Company
     distributes   to  any  holders  of  Capital  Stock   (including   any  such
     distribution in connection with a merger or  consolidation in which Company
     is the continuing  entity) evidences of indebtedness of Company,  assets or
     securities  (excluding dividends or distributions  otherwise  appropriately
     covered under other Clauses of this Section 5.1), then the current Exercise
     Price to be in effect after such  distribution  shall be reduced to a price
     determined as follows:

          multiply (1) the Exercise  Price in effect  immediately  prior to such
          record  date by (2) a  fraction  (i) the  numerator  of  which  is the
          Current  Market  Price per share of Common  Stock on such  record date
          minus  the fair  value (as  determined  by an  Independent  Appraiser,
          unless  otherwise  mutually  agreed by  Company  and  Holders)  of the
          portion of the assets,  evidences of

                                       19
<PAGE>

          indebtedness  or other  securities so to be distributed  applicable to
          one share of Capital  Stock and (ii) the  denominator  of which is the
          Current Market Price per share of Common Stock.

Any adjustment required by this Clause (a) shall become effective on the date of
issuance retroactive to the record date for determining  equityholders  entitled
to receive such  distribution,  and (b) shall be made successively  whenever any
such event occurs.

          e. Other  Issuances  Below Target Market Price.  If Company  issues or
     sells  any  shares  of  Common  Stock  (or  rights,  options,  warrants  or
     convertible or exchangeable  securities containing a right to subscribe for
     or purchase shares of Common Stock)  (excluding (i) issuances or sales with
     respect to transactions otherwise appropriately covered under other Clauses
     of this Section 5.1 and (ii) any Warrant Shares), at a price per share less
     than  the  Target  Market  Price  per  share  of  Common  Stock  in  effect
     immediately  prior to such sale or  issuance,  then the  number of  Warrant
     Shares  thereafter  purchasable  upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be
     determined as follows:

          multiply (1) the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon
          the exercise of each  Warrant by (2) a fraction  (i) the  numerator of
          which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock  outstanding
          immediately  after such issuance or sale and (ii) the  denominator  of
          which shall be an amount  equal to the sum of (A) the total  number of
          shares of Common Stock outstanding  immediately prior to such issuance
          or sale  plus (B) the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  that the
          aggregate  consideration  received  (as  determined  below)  for  such
          issuance or sale would  purchase at the Target  Market Price per share
          of Common Stock in effect immediately prior to such sale and issuance.

For purposes of such adjustments,  the shares of Common Stock that the holder of
any such rights, options,  warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities is
entitled  to  subscribe  for or  purchase  shall  be  deemed  to be  issued  and
outstanding  as of the date of such  issuance  or sale,  and the  "consideration
received"  by Company  shall be deemed to be (a) the  consideration  received by
Company for such  rights,  options,  warrants  or  convertible  or  exchangeable
securities  plus  (b) the  consideration  or  premiums  stated  in such  rights,
options,  warrants or convertible or exchangeable  securities to be paid for the
shares of Common  Stock  purchasable  thereby.  If  Company  (i) issues or sells
shares for  consideration  that  includes any  property  other than cash or (ii)
issues or sells shares  together with other  securities as a part of a unit at a
price per unit, then the "price per share" and the  "consideration  received" by
Company  for  purposes  of this Clause  (unless  Company  and Holders  otherwise
mutually agree) will be determined by an Independent  Appraiser.  Any adjustment
required by this Clause (a) shall become  effective  retroactive  to the date of
issuance  or sale of any  such  rights,  options,  warrants  or  convertible  or
exchangeable  securities,  and (b) shall be made successively  whenever any such
event occurs.

          f.  Dividend  Dilution  Fee. If any  dividend,  distribution  or other
     payment  is made or  accrued  after the date  hereof  with  respect  to any
     Capital  Stock  or  other  equity  securities  of  Company,   then  Company
     (concurrently  with any  actual  payment  thereof)  shall make a payment in

                                       20
<PAGE>

     immediately  available  funds to each  Holder of  Warrants  and/or  Warrant
     Shares equal to such Holder's percentage ownership of Company's outstanding
     Capital Stock (but, for such purposes, treating all Warrants as though they
     had then been  exercised) of such dividend,  distribution or other payment.
     Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Company shall not be obligated to make any
     such  payment to a Holder (and no Holder  shall be entitled to receive such
     payment) to the extent that such Holder  otherwise  receives actual payment
     of the  corresponding  dividend or  distribution  relating to such  Warrant
     Share as a holder of Warrant Shares in such class of equity security.

          g. Catchall Anti-Dilution  Protection. If Company otherwise issues any
     securities or instruments or engages in any  transaction an effect of which
     is to dilute the economic  value or voting rights of any Holder's  Warrants
     or Warrant  Shares in a manner  contrary  to the general  intent  expressed
     under Clause "a" of this Section  (including the issuance of any securities
     or instruments  with enhanced voting rights,  preemptive  rights,  dividend
     preferences  or  liquidation  preferences),  then Company will implement an
     equitable  adjustment  to such  Holder's  interest  in Company (in a manner
     reasonably  acceptable  to such Holder) in order to account for the effects
     of such transaction.  Any adjustment  required by this Clause shall be made
     successively  whenever  any such event  occurs.  If Company and Holders are
     unable  to agree on the  amount or form of any such  equitable  adjustment,
     then Company will retain an  Independent  Appraiser  acceptable  to Holders
     (which acceptance may not be unreasonably withheld) that will determine the
     amount and form of such equitable adjustment.

          h.  Preemptive  Rights  for Any  Non-Protected  Issuances.  If Company
     otherwise issues or sells any shares of Capital Stock (or rights,  options,
     warrants or convertible or exchangeable  securities containing the right to
     subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock)  (excluding  issuances or
     sales  with   respect  to   transactions   for  which   Holders   otherwise
     appropriately received anti-dilution protection under other Clauses of this
     Section 5.1),  then each Holder of Warrants  and/or Warrant Shares shall be
     entitled at any time during the term of this  Warrant  Agreement to acquire
     (at the lesser of the price paid by such  acquiror of Capital  Stock or the
     Current Market Price  therefor,  and on terms and  conditions  otherwise at
     least as favorable as was offered to such acquiror) an amount of additional
     shares of Capital  Stock that would  entitle  such  Holder to have the same
     aggregate  percentage of Capital  Stock (on a fully diluted  basis) as such
     Holder had or was entitled to have immediately prior to such transaction.

          i. Rights Applicable to Shares Other than Common Stock. If at any time
     (as a result of an  adjustment  made pursuant to this Section 5.1) a Holder
     becomes  entitled  to receive  any shares of Company  other than  shares of
     Common Stock, then thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable
     upon exercise of any Warrant  shall be subject to  adjustment  from time to
     time in a manner and on terms as nearly  equivalent as  practicable  to the
     provisions  with  respect to the Warrant  Shares  contained in this Section
     5.1, and the  provisions  of Article 4 with  respect to the Warrant  Shares
     shall apply on like terms to such other shares.

          j. Holders  Entitled to  Equivalent  Rights.  If Company has otherwise
     granted  or  hereafter  grants  to  any  Person  any  other  or  additional
     anti-dilution   protection  or  preemptive   rights  with  respect  to  any
     securities  of Company  (or  similar  protections  or rights  with any more
     favorable or less restrictive

                                       21
<PAGE>

terms),  then  Company  will  promptly  notify each Holder of Warrants  and each
Holder of Warrant Shares, and such protections and rights (or the more favorable
or  less  restrictive  terms  thereof)  will  be  deemed   automatically  to  be
incorporated  into this Agreement  (without the necessity of any other action by
the parties  hereto) as  additional  protections  and rights that each Holder is
entitled to exercise.

          k.  Expiration of Rights  Previously  Subject to Adjustment.  Upon the
     expiration of any rights,  options or warrants that resulted in adjustments
     pursuant to this  Section 5.1 that were not  exercised,  then the  Exercise
     Price and the number of Warrant Shares  purchasable shall be readjusted and
     thereafter  shall be such as it  would  have  been  had it been  originally
     adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required,  as applicable)
     as if (A) the only shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of such
     rights,  options  or  warrants  were the  shares of  Common  Stock (if any)
     actually  issued or sold  upon the  exercise  of such  rights,  options  or
     warrants  and (B) such  shares of  Common  Stock so issued or sold (if any)
     were issuable for the  consideration  actually  received by Company for the
     issuance,  sale or grant of all such rights, options or warrants whether or
     not exercised;  provided that no such  readjustment  may have the effect of
     increasing  the Exercise  Price or decreasing  the number of Warrant Shares
     purchasable  upon the  exercise  of a Warrant by an amount in excess of the
     amount of the adjustment initially made in respect to the issuance, sale or
     grant of such rights, options or warrants.

          l. Election to Adjust Warrants Rather than Exercise Price.  Any Holder
     may elect on or after the date of any  adjustment to the Exercise  Price to
     adjust the number of Warrants (and Warrant Shares  purchasable)  instead of
     the Exercise  Price.  Upon any such  election,  the number of Warrants (and
     Warrant Shares purchasable) will be determined by multiplying the number of
     Warrants and Warrant  Shares  purchasable  by a fraction  the  numerator of
     which is the Exercise Price in effect  immediately prior to such adjustment
     and the denominator of which is the Exercise Price in effect as a result of
     such adjustment.

          m.  Adjustments  for  Subsidiaries  Not  Wholly-Owned  by Company.  If
     Company  at any  time  does  not  own  100%  of the  Capital  Stock  of any
     Subsidiary,  then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of
     each Warrant  shall be adjusted in accordance  with the following  formula:
     multiply  (1) the  percentage  of the  Capital  Stock of  Company  to which
     Holders would  otherwise be entitled under this Warrant  Agreement by (2) a
     fraction (i) the numerator of which is 1 and (ii) the  denominator of which
     is the  percentage  of the Capital Stock of such  Subsidiary  then owned by
     Company.

     5.2. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT.  Upon any adjustment required under this Article
5,  Company (at its  expense)  shall mail  (within 10  Business  Days after such
adjustment) by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Warrants and
each Holder of Warrant  Shares a notice of such  adjustment.  Such notice  shall
include the  following  (each in reasonable  detail):  (i) the number of Warrant
Shares  purchasable  upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price of
such  Warrant  after such  adjustment,  and (ii) a brief  statement of the facts
requiring such  adjustment,  and (iii) the  computation by which such adjustment
was made.

     5.3.  PRESERVATION  OF  PURCHASE  RIGHTS  UPON  CERTAIN  TRANSACTIONS.   In
connection  with any merger,  consolidation,  reorganization  or  combination of
Company with or into  another  Person  (whether or not Company is the  surviving
entity), or any sale, transfer or lease to another Person of

                                       22
<PAGE>

all or  substantially  all the  property  of  Company,  then  Company  (or  such
successor  or  purchasing  Person)  shall  execute an agreement in favor of each
Holder of Warrants  giving such Holder the right  thereafter upon payment of the
Exercise  Price in effect  immediately  prior to such  action to  purchase  upon
exercise of each  Warrant the kind and amount of  securities,  cash and property
that such Holder would have owned or would have been  entitled to receive  after
the  happening of such merger,  consolidation,  combination,  sale,  transfer or
lease had such Warrant been exercised  immediately  prior to such action. If any
such successor, reorganized or purchasing Person is not a corporation taxed as a
"C"   corporation,   then  such  Person  shall  also  provide   appropriate  tax
indemnification with respect to such shares and other securities and property so
that,  upon  exercise of the  Warrants,  each Holder  thereof will have the same
benefits such Holder  otherwise  would have had if such  successor or purchasing
Person were a corporation.  Such agreement  shall provide for  adjustments  that
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments  provided
for in this Article 5. The provisions of this Section shall  similarly  apply to
successive mergers, consolidations, combinations, sales, transfers or leases.

                        ARTICLE 6 . COMPANY'S COVENANTS

     6.1. INFORMATION.

          a.  Information  Provided by Company to Other Persons.  Whether or not
     Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of
     the  Exchange  Act,  Company  will  provide  each Holder with a copy of all
     information (including financial information) and other communications that
     are  sent  by or on  behalf  of  Company  (i) to  any  class  of  Company's
     equityholders (if such  communication is material),  or (ii) to the members
     of Company's Board of Directors, or (iii) to the Commission.  Company shall
     provide such information and  communications  to Holders  concurrently with
     providing it to such third parties.

          b.  Specific  Additional  Information.  Company will also provide each
     Holder  written  notice  of  (and  describing  in  reasonable  detail)  the
     occurrence of any of the following events:

               1.  Company  offers or issues to any Person any shares of Capital
          Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock
          or any right to subscribe for or purchase any thereof; or

               2. A dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Company; or

               3. An agreement in principle is reached and/or a letter of intent
          is executed with respect to any Equity  Disposition  or  Non-Surviving
          Transaction; or

               4.  Company  declares  or  makes  (directly  or  indirectly)  any
          payment,  dividend or distribution (in cash or otherwise) with respect
          to, or incurs any liability for the purchase, acquisition,  redemption
          or  retirement  of,  any  Capital  Stock or as a  dividend,  return of
          capital  or  other  payment  or   distribution  of  any  kind  to  any
          equityholder.

                                       23
<PAGE>

Each such  notice  shall be mailed by Company to each  Holder (at such  Holder's
last known  address on the books and  records of  Company)  at least 20 Business
Days prior to the applicable record date of such transaction.

          c. Additional  Requested  Information.  In addition to the information
     and disclosures otherwise required under this Agreement,  Company will also
     provide to each Holder any  information  reasonably  requested from time to
     time by such  Holder  relating to the  operations,  business  plans  and/or
     ownership of Company.

          d.  Disclosure  of  Information  by  Holders.  Each Holder will employ
     reasonable  procedures  to treat as  confidential  all written,  non-public
     information  delivered to such Holder pursuant to this Agreement concerning
     the  performance,  operations,  assets,  structure  and  business  plans of
     Company  that  is  conspicuously  designated  by  Company  as  confidential
     information.  While other or different  confidentiality  procedures  may be
     employed by each Holder, the actual procedures  employed by such Holder for
     this purpose will be  conclusively  deemed to be  reasonable if they are at
     least  as  protective  of  such  information  as the  procedures  generally
     employed by such Holder to safeguard the  confidentiality  of such Holder's
     own information  that such Holder  generally  considers to be confidential.
     Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  each Holder may disclose any  information
     concerning  Company in such  Holder's  possession  from time to time (a) to
     permitted  participants,  transferees,  assignees,  pledgees and  investors
     (including prospective participants,  transferees,  assignees, pledgees and
     investors), but subject to a reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding
     any  non-public  confidential  information  thereby  disclosed,  and (b) in
     response to credit inquiries consistent with general banking practices, and
     (c) to any  federal  or state  regulator  of such  Holder,  and (d) to such
     Holder's Affiliates,  employees,  legal counsel,  appraisers,  accountants,
     agents and investors, and (e) to any Person pursuant to compulsory judicial
     process,  and (f) to any judicial or arbitration  forum in connection  with
     enforcing  this Agreement or defending any action based upon this Agreement
     or the relationship  between such Holder and Company,  and (g) to any other
     Person with respect to the public or non-confidential  portions of any such
     information. Moreover, each Holder (without any compensation,  remuneration
     or  notice  to  Company)  may also  include  operational,  performance  and
     structural  information  and data  relating  to  Company  in  compilations,
     reports and data bases  assembled  by such Holder (or its  Affiliates)  and
     used to conduct,  support,  assist in and validate portfolio,  industry and
     credit  research and analysis for itself  and/or other  Persons;  provided,
     however,  that such  Holder may not thereby  disclose to other  Persons any
     information relating to Company in a manner that is attributable to Company
     unless (1) such disclosure is permitted under the standards  outlined above
     in this Section or (2) Company otherwise separately consents thereto (which
     consent may not be unreasonably withheld).

     6.2. BOOKS AND RECORDS. Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall keep and
maintain  satisfactory  and adequate  books and records of account in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.

     6.3. NO AMENDMENTS TO ORGANIC DOCUMENTS.  Without the prior written consent
of Holders representing a majority of Warrant Shares and Warrants (which consent
may not be  unreasonably  withheld),  Company shall not permit any amendments to
its Organic Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without
the prior written consent of Holders

                                       24
<PAGE>

representing a majority of Warrant Shares and Warrants (which consent may not be
unreasonably  withheld),  Company shall not establish any class of Capital Stock
or issue any shares of Capital Stock that have rights,  dividends or preferences
senior to or more advantageous than the rights, dividends and preferences of the
Warrant Shares.

     6.4.  REINCORPORATION  AND  REORGANIZATION.  Company  shall not at any time
reincorporate  in any  jurisdiction or reorganize into a different form of legal
entity  unless (in each such  instance)  Company shall have received a favorable
opinion of counsel to the effect  that such  reincorporation  or  reorganization
shall impose no direct or contingent liability on Holders under the laws of such
jurisdiction. A copy of each such opinion shall be provided to each Holder.

     6.5. EXISTENCE,  GOOD STANDING AND AUTHORIZATIONS.  Company and each of its
Subsidiaries  shall  preserve and maintain its  existence in good  standing as a
organization  under  the  laws  of its  jurisdiction  of  incorporation  and the
validity of all its  authorizations  and licenses required in the conduct of its
businesses.

     6.6.  CONDUCT OF  BUSINESS.  Without the prior  written  consent of Holders
representing a majority of Warrant Shares and Warrants (which consent may not be
unreasonably  withheld),  Company  (a) will  continue to engage in (and only in)
businesses of the same general type as now conducted by it, and (b) will comply,
and will cause each  Subsidiary  to comply,  in all material  respects  with all
applicable  material laws,  regulations,  and orders, and (c) will not (and will
not permit any Subsidiary to) engage in any  transaction  (including  employment
arrangements)  with any  Affiliate or other  related  party other than for value
received and under  reasonable and customary  terms and  conditions  that are at
least  as  favorable  to  Company  as  would  be  achieved  in an  arm's  length
transaction.

                            ARTICLE 7 . DEFINITIONS

     7.1.  DEFINITIONS.  As used herein,  the following terms have the following

          7.1.1.  "Affiliate"  of any Person means any other Person  directly or
     indirectly  controlling,  controlled by or under direct or indirect  common

     direct  (or to cause  the  direction  of or to  materially  influence)  the
     management and policies of the second Person, whether through the ownership
     of voting  securities,  by  contract or  otherwise.  Without  limiting  the
     generality of the foregoing,  each of the following  Persons will be deemed
     to be an  Affiliate of Company:  (a) each Person  (other than a Holder) who
     owns 5% or more of any class or series of Capital Stock of Company, and (b)

     interest (as  applicable) as determined by an Independent  Appraiser.  Such
     Independent  Appraiser  will be  selected  by Holders of a majority  of the
     Warrants and Warrant Shares and approved by Company (which approval may not
     be  unreasonably  withheld,  delayed  or  conditioned).   Such  Independent
     Appraiser  shall use one or more  valuation  methods  that the  Independent
     Appraiser  (in  its  best  professional  judgment)  determines  to be  most
     appropriate under the circumstances;  provided, that such valuation methods
     shall not give effect to (1) any  discount for any lack of liquidity of the
     Warrants,  Warrant Shares and/or such other  security,  or (2) the minority
     status of any holder of Warrants,  Warrant Shares or other security, or (3)
     the fact that  Company  may have no class of equity  securities  registered
     under the Securities  Act. Such  Independent  Appraiser,  as promptly as is
     reasonably possible, will prepare and deliver to Company and to each Holder
     of a Warrant or Warrant Share a written valuation report indicating (a) the
     methods of  valuation  considered  or used,  and (b) the value of a Warrant
     Share or other security, and (c) the nature and scope of the examination or
     investigation  upon which the  determination of value was made.  Unless the
     valuation report is revised by the Independent  Appraiser within 5 Business
     Days  after  delivery  thereof  or unless  Company  and  Holders  otherwise
     mutually agree,  then the valuation report shall be deemed final at the end
     of such  5-Business-Day  period.  Company  shall pay the fees and  expenses
     associated with the Independent Appraiser.

          7.1.4. "Business Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or other

          7.1.6.  "Commission"  means the Securities and Exchange  Commission or

     Lender (and certain other lenders), as the same may be amended, modified or
     otherwise   supplemented   from  time  to  time  (including  any  renewals,
     refinancings  or  extensions  thereof or increases  in the credit  extended
     thereunder).

          7.1.10.  "Current  Market Price"  means,  with respect to any share of
     Common Stock or any other security of Company at the date herein specified,
     the following:

                                       26
<PAGE>

               (i) if  Company  does not then  have such  securities  registered
          under the  Exchange  Act,  then the Current  Market Price per share of
          such  security  will be the greater of the Exercise  Price per Warrant
          Share  then in effect  or the  Appraised  Valuation  per share of such
          security, or alternatively

               (ii) if Company does then have such securities  registered  under
          the  Exchange  Act,  then the Current  Market  Price per share of such
          security  will be the greater of the Exercise  Price per Warrant Share
          then in effect or the  Appraised  Valuation per share of such security
          or the  average of the daily  market  prices of such  security  for 20
          consecutive  Business  Days during the period  commencing  30 Business
          Days  before  such  date  (or,  if  Company  has had a  class  of such
          securities  registered  under  the  Exchange  Act  for  less  than  30
          consecutive  Business  Days before such date,  then the average of the
          daily market  prices for all of the Business Days before such date for
          which daily market  prices are  available).  The market price for each
          such  Business Day shall be as follows:  (A) for a security  listed or
          admitted to trading on any securities exchange, then the closing price
          (regular way) on such day (or if no sale takes place on such day, then
          the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day),  and (B)
          for a  security  not  then  listed  or  admitted  to  trading  on  any
          securities exchange, then the last reported sale price on such day (or
          if no sale takes  place on such day,  then the  average of the closing
          bid and asked prices on such day, as reported by a reputable quotation
          source designated by Company),  and (C) for a security not then listed
          or admitted to trading on any  securities  exchange and as to which no
          such reported sale price or bid and asked prices are  available,  then
          the average of the reported high bid and low asked prices on such day,
          as reported  by a  reputable  quotation  service,  or a  newspaper  of

                                WARRANT AGREEMENT

     THIS  WARRANT  AGREEMENT  (as defined in Article 7 along with all the other
defined terms,  this  "Agreement") is made and effective as of November 30, 1999
by and between ACCESS ONE COMMUNICATIONS CORP. (as more fully defined in Article
7, "Company"),  and MCG FINANCE CORPORATION (as more fully defined in Article 7,
"Purchaser", "Lender" and/or a "Holder").

                                 R E C I T A L S

     WHEREAS,  Company (together with certain of its Affiliates) and Lender have
entered into a Credit  Agreement and various  related Loan Documents (as defined
in the Credit Agreement) pursuant to which Lender has provided Company (together
with certain of its Affiliates) with credit  facilities  aggregating up to $15.0
million; and

     WHEREAS, to induce Lender (a) to increase the credit facilities established
under the Credit  Agreement to $15 million and (b) to consent to the  incurrence
of additional  subordinated  indebtedness by certain  Borrowers under the Credit
Agreement,  Company  has  agreed  to issue and  deliver  to  Purchaser  Warrants
(evidenced  by Warrant  Certificates)  to purchase up to an aggregate of 400,000
shares of the Common  Stock of Company  (subject to  adjustment  as provided for
herein);

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  and other  good and
valuable   consideration   (receipt   and   sufficiency   of  which  are  hereby
acknowledged),  and intending to be legally bound hereby,  Company and Purchaser
hereby agree as follows:

                          ARTICLE 1. GRANT OF WARRANTS

     1.1. GRANT OF WARRANTS.  Company  hereby grants to Purchaser  warrants (the
"Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock (as
such number may be adjusted  from time to time as provided  herein) Each Warrant
is exercisable immediately.

     1.2. WARRANT  ENTITLEMENT.  Each Warrant entitles the registered  Holder of
such  Warrant  to  purchase   (during  the  Exercise  Period)  one  fully  paid,
nonassessable Warrant Share at a price of $1.55 per share (as such amount may be
adjusted from time to time as provided herein, the "Exercise Price").

     1.3.  WARRANTS AS  ADDITIONAL  COMPENSATION.  The  Warrants  (and the grant
thereof  hereunder) are additional  compensation for the cost,  expense and risk
incurred by Lender (and/or its Affiliates)  associated with the underwriting and

                                       1
<PAGE>

establishment  of the loan credit  facilities  to be provided  for in the Credit
Agreement,  but  neither the grant nor the  exercise of any  Warrants in any way
affects or relieves Company (or any Affiliate thereof) of any of its obligations
to  fully  and  timely  perform  and  to  fully  and  timely  repay  the  entire
indebtedness due under the Credit Agreement and related Loan Documents.

              ARTICLE 2. PURCHASER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS

     Purchaser  represents  and warrants  that it is acquiring  the Warrants (a)
solely for the purpose of investment and not with a view to any  distribution of
the Warrants or any Warrant Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act, and
(b) with no present intention of selling or otherwise transferring the Warrants,
the Warrant  Certificates  or the  Warrant  Shares  except as  provided  herein.
Purchaser further represents and warrants as follows:  (1) it has such knowledge
and experience in financial and business  matters as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of its prospective  investment in the Warrants,  and (2) it
has the ability to bear the economic risks of its  prospective  investment,  and
(3) it is able (without  materially  impairing its financial  condition) to hold
the Warrants and Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a
complete loss on its investment in such Warrants and Warrant  Shares.  Purchaser
agrees that it will not offer, sell or otherwise transfer any Warrants,  Warrant
Certificates  or Warrant Shares except in compliance with this Agreement and the
Securities Act (and the  regulations of the Commission  thereunder) , as well as
in  compliance  with any  applicable  laws,  regulations  and  orders  of and/or
administered  by any  State  PUC (to  the  extent  failure  to so  comply  could
reasonably  be  expected  to have or  cause a  material  adverse  effect  on the
operations of Company) or the FCC.

              ARTICLE 3. COMPANY'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Company represents and warrants that:

Warrants,  and  (c) the  execution,  delivery  and  performance  of the  Warrant
Certificates,  and (d) the issuance and delivery of the Warrant  Shares upon any
exercise  of the  Warrants.  None of the  actions or  activities  by Company the

require any consent  that has not been  obtained  under) any  applicable  law or
regulation (including the laws, regulations and orders of and/or administered by
the FCC or any State PUC), the Organic Documents of Company, any voting or other
equity-related  agreements,  any other material  agreements or instruments,  any
order,  injunction  or  decree of any court or  governmental  authority,  or any
permit,  authorization  or license that (with  respect to each of the  foregoing
items,  as  applicable)  Company  is a party to,  Company is bound by or Company
operates   pursuant  to.  The   resolutions  of  Company's  Board  of  Directors

laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (b) the availability of equitable
remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.

     3.4. BROKER AND FINDER FEES. Company has not dealt with any broker, finder,
investment bank or other advisor in connection with the issuance and sale of the

payable) by Company with respect to the issuance and sale of the Warrants or the
Warrant Shares.

     3.5.  OFFER AND SALE OF  SECURITIES.  The offer,  sale and  issuance of the
Warrants  complied  with or are exempt  from,  and the  issuance  of the Warrant

obligated to issue any Capital Stock.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.6 or as
is  required  under this  Agreement,  Company  has not granted to any Person the
right to require  Company  to  register  any  securities  of  Company  under the

of  securities  of Company  for its own  account or for the account of any other
Person).

     3.7. RESERVATION AND ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES. Company has reserved among
its currently  authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock the full number of
Warrant  Shares  deliverable  upon exercise of all of the Warrants.  The Warrant

nonassessable, and (b) will be free from all taxes (other than income taxes that

created  by  the  Holder  thereof  as and to the  extent  permitted  under  this
Agreement),  preemptive  rights,  rights of first  refusal or similar  rights of
other equityholders of Company.

its direct and  indirect  Subsidiaries,  if any) set forth in this  Agreement or
otherwise provided to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement is true,  correct and complete in all material  respects,  and
Company --- has not omitted to state any  material  fact  necessary  in order to
make the statements made herein or therein (in light of the circumstances  under

     a. Form of Certificate;  Registration Among Company's Records. The Warrants
shall be evidenced by one or more  Warrant  Certificates,  each of which will be
substantially  in the form of Exhibit C with the applicable  legend specified on
Exhibit D (but shall  incorporate  such changes  therein as may be required from
time to time to reflect  any  adjustments  made  pursuant  to Article  5).  Each
Warrant Certificate shall be uniquely numbered, shall identify the record Holder

                                       4
<PAGE>

thereof,  and shall be  registered  on the  books  and  records  of  Company  in
substantially the same manner as other equity interests of Company.

     b. Exchange and Transfer of  Certificates.  A Warrant  Certificate (and the
Warrants  evidenced thereby) may be exchanged or (subject to compliance with the
applicable  requirements  hereof)  may be  transferred  from time to time at the
option of the Holder thereof.  Upon surrender of any such Warrant Certificate to
Company,  then  Company  shall issue and deliver to (or in  accordance  with the
written  instructions  of)  such  Holder  one or more new  Warrant  Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate the same number of Warrants.

     c. Missing and Mutilated Certificates.  If any Warrant Certificate is lost,
stolen,  mutilated or destroyed,  then Company  (upon request of the  registered
Holder  thereof)  shall issue and deliver to (or in accordance  with the written
instructions  of)  such  Holder  one or more  replacement  Warrant  Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate  the same number of Warrants.  Company's  obligation
under this Clause is  conditioned  upon its receipt of  reasonably  satisfactory
evidence of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction.

     d.  Authorization  of Certificate  Signer.  Any Warrant  Certificate may be
signed on behalf of Company (and  delivered to the Holder  entitled  thereto) by
any person who, on the actual date of execution of such Warrant Certificate,  is
a proper officer of Company to sign such Warrant  Certificate even though (1) on
the date of  execution  of this  Agreement  such person was not such an officer,
and/or (2) on the date of delivery of such Warrant  Certificate  such person has
ceased to serve as such officer of Company.

     4.2. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.

     a. Exercise Period.  The Warrants are exercisable at any time and from time
to time after the date hereof and prior to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on November
30, 2009 (as such period may be extended  from time to time by mutual  agreement
of the Holders and Company,  "Exercise  Period"),  at which time any unexercised
Warrants shall expire.

     b. Method of Exercise. A Holder of any Warrant Certificate may exercise any
such Warrants from time to time during the Exercise  Period to purchase  Warrant
Shares  upon (1) the  surrender  of such  Warrant  Certificate  evidencing  such
Warrants,  and (2) the payment of the  Exercise  Price in cash,  by certified or
cashier's  check payable to the order of Company or by wire transfer to Company.
Such  surrender  and payment must occur at an office of Company or at such other
address as Company may specify in writing to the then registered  Holder of such
Warrant Certificate.

     c. Issuance of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise.  Upon surrender of any Warrant
Certificate and payment of the applicable  Exercise Price (as described above in
this  Section),  then  Company  shall  issue,  sell and  deliver  to or upon the
instructions of the Holder of such Warrant  Certificate  and/or its designee one
or more  certificates  evidencing in the aggregate the number of Warrant  Shares
represented by such Warrant  Certificate  that are then being purchased (each of
which Warrant Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable). Any
persons  so  designated  to be named  therein  shall be deemed to have  become a
Holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of

                                       5
<PAGE>

the  date  of  exercise  of such  Warrants.  If less  than  all of the  Warrants
evidenced by a Warrant  Certificate  are exercised at any time prior to the last
day of the  Exercise  Period,  then  Company  shall issue to such Holder (or its
designee) one or more new Warrant  Certificates  evidencing the remaining number
of Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate that are not then exercised by
Holder.

     d. Rights of a Holder of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Upon any exercise of
Warrants by a Holder  entitled  thereto in accordance with and as provided under
this  Agreement,  the Holder of such issued  Warrant Shares shall be entitled to
all of the rights and  benefits  of a holder of voting  Capital  Stock under the
Organic  Documents  of Company as well as the rights and benefits of a Holder of
Warrant  Shares  under this  Agreement  (notwithstanding  any  provision of such
Organic  Documents to the contrary).  To the extent that the rights and benefits
of a holder of voting Capital Stock under the Organic Documents are inconsistent
with or less  favorable  than the  rights  and  benefits  of a Holder of Warrant
Shares under this  Agreement,  then the terms and  provisions of this  Agreement
shall control and govern with respect to the rights and benefits of such Holder.

     4.3. TRANSFERS OF WARRANTS AND WARRANT SHARES.

     a. General Transferability.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
upon  compliance with any applicable  requirements  under the Securities Act and
the laws,  regulations  and orders of and/or  administered by each State PUC (to
the extent failure to so comply could  reasonably be expected to have or cause a
material  adverse  effect on the  operations  of Company)  or the FCC,  then the
Warrants,  the corresponding  Warrant Certificates and the Warrant Shares may be
transferred by Purchaser (or any other  subsequent  Holder) from time to time in
whole or in part upon complying with the right of first refusal under Clause "b"
of this Section or as otherwise  provided  under Clause "c" of this Section (but
without the necessity of obtaining any consent of Company).

     b. Restrictions on Transferability (Right of First Refusal). So long as (i)
all other holders of equity (or rights to acquire equity) of Company are subject
to at least as  restrictive a condition on their ability to transfer such equity
interests  and (ii) no  Public  Offering  has  occurred,  and  (iii) no Event of
Default then exists under the Credit Agreement, then Prior to selling any of the
Warrants to any Person  (other than as provided in Clause "c" below),  Purchaser
(or a  subsequent  Holder-Affiliated  Transferee  who is then the Holder of such
Warrants)  will afford  Company the right (for a period of 5 Business Days after
such Holder provides notice thereof to Company) to purchase such Warrants on the
same terms and conditions (including price, consideration and method of payment)
as such Holder is proposing to sell such Warrants to any such other  Person.  If
Company does not  irrevocably  commit to so acquire all such Warrants under such
terms  and  conditions  during  such   5-Business-Day   period  (and  thereafter
consummate such acquisition within 30 calendar days after such commitment), then
such  Holder at any time  thereafter  may sell such  Warrants  to any such other
Person on terms and conditions that are substantially the same or less favorable
to such acquiror than as was offered to Company. For purposes of the immediately
preceding sentence,  the term "less favorable" terms and conditions will include
a higher price per Warrant Share and/or a higher  percentage of consideration in
immediately available funds.

                                       6
<PAGE>

     c. Unrestricted  Transferability  to Certain Persons.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing or any other  provision of this  Agreement,  upon  compliance with any
applicable  requirements under the Securities Act and the laws,  regulations and
orders of and/or  administered  by each State PUC (to the  extent  failure to so
comply could  reasonably be expected to have or cause a material  adverse effect
on the  operations  of  Company)  or the FCC,  then the  Warrants,  the  Warrant
Certificates  and/or the Warrant  Shares may be transferred by Purchaser (or any
other  subsequent  Holder)  from  time to time in whole or in part  without  any
restriction or condition  (including without the necessity of complying with any
right of first refusal) to any Holder-Affiliated Transferee, to any Affiliate of
such  Holder  and/or  to any  Person  who is also  acquiring  some or all of the
indebtedness of Company under the Credit Agreement.

     d.  Treatment  of Holder  Prior to Notice of  Transfer.  Prior to receiving
notice of any such transfer  (either from such Holder or from such  transferee),
Company shall be otherwise  entitled to treat such known Holder as the Holder of
record  hereunder for purposes of giving and receiving  notices and for purposes
of exercising rights hereunder.

     e. Rights of a Subsequent  Holder.  Unless otherwise  limited or restricted
pursuant to the  document of  transfer,  then a  subsequent  Holder of Warrants,
Warrant Certificates or Warrant Shares hereunder shall be entitled to all of the
rights and benefits of the  transferring  Holder under this  Agreement and under
the Organic Documents.

     4.4.REGISTRATION AND RELATED RIGHTS.

     a.  Incidental  Registration in a Public  Offering.  Each Holder of Warrant
Shares and each  Holder of Warrants  shall have the right to require  Company to
include all or (at such Holder's  election)  any portion of such Warrant  Shares
and the Warrant  Shares  purchasable  upon  exercise of any such Warrants in any
Public Offering of Company's securities.

     Company  shall give  written  notice to each  Holder of  Warrants  and each
Holder of Warrant Shares (at each such Holder's last known address as it appears
on Company's  books and records)  promptly  after the  occurrence  of any of the
following  events:  (i) Company  deciding to proceed  with any  registration  of
securities  that would  constitute a Public Offering if declared  effective,  or
(ii)  the  initial  filing  of a  registration  statement  with  the  Commission
pertaining  to any  Public  Offering,  or (iii)  any  amendment,  supplement  or
modification  to any  registration  statement  for a Public  Offering by Company
(other than amendments,  supplements and modifications that occur  automatically
through incorporation by reference as a result of subsequently prepared publicly
available materials), or (iv) any withdrawal of any registration statement for a
Public  Offering by Company.  Once any such  registration  statement is declared
effective  by the  Commission,  then  Company may not amend or modify it without
providing each Holder of Warrants and each Holder of Warrant Shares with written
notice  thereof at least 5 Business  Days prior to filing any such  amendment or
modification with the Commission.

     In connection  with any such Public  Offering,  Company shall enter into an
underwriting  agreement with one or more underwriters that shall provide,  among
other things,  that the  underwriters  shall offer to purchase at the closing of
such Public Offering all of the Warrant Shares

                                       7
<PAGE>

and all of the  Warrants  (or such  lesser  portion  thereof  as any  Holder may
request) at the price paid by the  underwriters  for the Capital  Stock (or if a
security  convertible into or exchangeable  for, or rights to purchase,  Capital
Stock,  then the  conversion,  exchange or purchase  price for the Capital Stock
provided for by such security less the conversion,  exchange or exercise premium
on the date of such offering)  sold by Company  and/or any selling  shareholders
(less,   with  respect  to  Warrants,   the  Exercise  Price  then  in  effect).
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if the  underwriters  shall advise  Company in
writing that, in their  experience and  professional  opinion arrived at in good
faith based upon existing market conditions, inclusion of such number of Warrant
Shares  (together with the shares of Capital Stock requested for registration by
any other selling equityholders) will adversely affect the price or distribution
of the securities to be offered in such Public  Offering  solely for the account
of Company, then (1) Company shall promptly furnish each such Holder with a copy
of such written advice by the underwriters, and (2) such Holders shall then have
the right to include only such number of Warrant  Shares and Warrants  that such
advice  by the  underwriters  indicates  may be  distributed  without  adversely
affecting the distribution of the securities  solely for Company's  account.  As
among Holders of Warrant Shares and/or Warrants, such availability for inclusion
in the  registration  for such Public Offering shall be allocated pro rata based
upon the total number of Warrant Shares owned or purchasable by such Holder.  As
between such Holders and any other  holders of Capital  Stock  requesting  to be
included in such Public Offering, priority for inclusion in the registration for
such Public  Offering shall be allocated pro rata based upon the total number of
shares of Capital Stock owned or purchasable by such holder and the Holders.

     In  connection  with an Initial  Public  Offering,  provided that all other
holders  of equity  interests  of Company  are  subject  to  identical  (or more
restrictive) restrictions with respect to their equity interests, each Holder of
Warrants  and each Holder of Warrant  Shares shall agree to refrain from selling
or otherwise  transferring  (other than to a  Holder-Affiliated  Transferee) any
Warrant Shares not included in such Initial Public Offering for a period of time
(not to exceed 90 calendar  days after the  effective  date of the  registration
statement  for such Initial  Public  Offering) as may be  appropriate  under the
circumstances and reasonably  requested by Company and the underwriters for such
offering.

     b. Demand  Registration  Following an Initial Public  Offering or Surviving
Public  Combination.  In addition to any other registration  rights to which any
Holder is  entitled,  at any time and from time to time after the  closing of an
Initial Public Offering or a Surviving  Public  Combination,  Company (upon each
request of Holders of at least 50% of the  Warrant  Shares and  Warrants)  shall
prepare,  shall file with the Commission and shall use its best efforts to cause
to become effective as promptly as reasonably possible a registration  statement
(on Form S-3 or any  successor  form,  if  available)  covering  such  number of
Warrant  Shares  owned or then  purchasable  as is  requested  by such  Holders.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Company shall not be required to so prepare and
file  upon the  demand  of such  Holders  either  (a) more  than  three (3) such
registration  statements  that are  declared  effective  by the  Commission  and
maintained  in effect by Company for at least 90  consecutive  calendar days and
are not on a Form S-3 (or any  successor  form),  or (b) any  such  registration
statement  within the first 90  calendar  days  after the  closing of an Initial
Public  Offering,  or (c) any such  registration  statement  within the first 90
calendar days after the closing of a

                                       8
<PAGE>

Public Offering that was effective for at least 90 consecutive calendar days and
in which 50% or more of the Warrant Shares and Warrants were included.

     In connection with any such demand registration, Company shall use its best
efforts to engage (or, at Holders' request, shall use its best efforts to assist
Holders in engaging) one or more underwriters to purchase on a best-efforts or a
firm-offer  basis the Warrant  Shares owned or then  purchasable at the price at
which such  Warrant  Shares are to be resold under such  registration  statement
less the underwriters'  discount (less,  with respect to Warrants,  the Exercise
Price then in effect). The registration  statement shall also provide that sales
of the Warrant Shares may be made by dealers, on an exchange if listed, directly
to purchasers  or in any other  manner.  No such  registration  statement  filed
pursuant to this demand  registration  provision (without the consent of Holders
of at least 50% of the total  Warrant  Shares  and  Warrants)  may relate to any
securities  other than the Warrant Shares,  and no other  securities may be sold
incidentally  to any such  underwritten  public  offering  of Warrant  Shares so
registered.

     In  connection  with any  such  demand  registration,  Company  shall  keep
effective  and maintain  the  registration,  qualification,  approval or listing
covering  the Warrant  Shares for a period of at least 90  consecutive  calendar
days (or in the event such registration is on Form S-3 or any successor form, on
a continuous  basis).  Company from time to time shall amend or  supplement  the
prospectus  and  registration   statement  used  in  connection  with  any  such
registration to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law (including to
reflect additional information relating to the plan of distribution),  and shall
immediately advise each Holder if any such prospectus or registration  statement
does not so  comply  and/or  if any stop  order or  similar  order is  issued or
threatened  or any request for  amendment  or  supplement  is received  from any
regulatory  agency.  Company shall make every  reasonable  effort to prevent the
issuance  of any stop  order and,  if any stop  order is  issued,  to obtain the
lifting thereof at the earliest  possible moment.  Company shall comply with all
other applicable laws in connection with any offering of Warrant Shares and will
promptly make available an earnings  statement in accordance  with Section 11(a)
of the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

     c. Holders Entitled to Equivalent  Rights. If Company has otherwise granted
or hereafter  grants to any Person any other or additional  registration  rights
with respect to any securities of Company (or similar  registration  rights with
any more favorable or less restrictive terms), then Company will promptly notify
each Holder of Warrants and each Holder of Warrant Shares, and such registration
rights (or the more favorable or less restrictive  terms thereof) will be deemed
automatically to be incorporated  into this Agreement  (without the necessity of
any other action by the parties hereto) as additional  registration  rights that
each Holder is entitled to exercise.

     d.  Sales  Through  Underwriters  and  Dealers.  Company  shall  effect the
registration or qualification of the Warrant Shares,  and the notification to or
approval of any  governmental  authority under any federal or state law, and the
listing with any  securities  exchange on which the Common  Stock is listed,  in
each instance as may be necessary to permit the sale of Warrant  Shares  through
underwriters,  and, in the case of a demand registration hereunder, also through
dealers, on an exchange, directly to purchasers or in any other manner.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     e. Certain  Additional  Agreements in  Connection  with  Registrations.  In
connection with any Public Offering,  Company (1) shall enter into,  execute and
deliver all agreements and other instruments and documents  (including  opinions
of counsel,  comfort letters and underwriting agreements) that are customary and
appropriate  with  such  public  offerings,  and (2)  shall  cooperate  with any
underwriters to facilitate  sales of the Warrant Shares to the same extent as if
such  Warrant  Shares were being  offered  directly  by  Company,  and (3) shall
furnish  each  Holder  such  numbers of copies of  registration  statements  and
prospectuses  (and  amendments  and  supplements  thereto)  as such  Holder  may
reasonably  request,  and (4) shall take all such other actions as are necessary
or advisable to facilitate the registration and sale of such Warrant Shares.  In
connection  with any  Public  Offering  as to which  any  Holder  is  requesting
registration of Warrant Shares,  each such Holder (i) shall provide Company with
such  information  regarding  itself,  himself or  herself as may be  reasonably
required by Company,  and (ii) shall  reasonably  cooperate  with Company in the
preparation of the registration  statement,  and (iii) shall enter into, execute
and  deliver  all  agreements  and  other  instruments  and  documents  that are
customary and  appropriate  for selling  equityholders  to execute in connection
with a secondary public offering.

     f.  Indemnification by Company.  In connection with any offering of Warrant
Shares  pursuant to the provisions of this Section,  Company hereby  indemnifies
and holds  harmless  each Holder of Warrants  and each Holder of Warrant  Shares
(and the directors,  officers and controlling Persons of each such Holder), each
other  Person  (if any)  who acts on  behalf  of or at the  request  of any such
Holder, each underwriter, and each other Person who participates in the offering
of Warrant Shares  (collectively,  for purposes of this Clause, the "Indemnified
Parties") against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,  joint or several,
to which such  Indemnified  Party may become subject under the Securities Act or
any other statute or at common law, insofar as such losses,  claims,  damages or
liabilities  (or  actions  in  respect  thereof)  arise out of or are based upon
either of the following:

          (i) any untrue  statement or alleged untrue  statement of any material
     fact  contained  (on  the  effective  date  thereof)  in  any  registration
     statement (or any amendment  thereto)  under which such Warrant Shares were
     registered  under the Securities  Act, or the omission or alleged  omission
     therefrom of a material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary to
     make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
     were made, not misleading, or

          (ii) any untrue  statement or alleged  untrue  statement of a material
     fact  contained  in  any  preliminary  prospectus  or  prospectus  (or  any
     amendment  or  supplement  thereto)  or the  omission  or alleged  omission
     therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements  therein,  in
     light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

          (iii) any  violation  by Company of any federal or state law,  rule or
     regulation  applicable  to  Company  in  connection  with any  registration
     statement or prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

                                       10
<PAGE>

Company shall also  reimburse each such  Indemnified  Party for any legal or any
other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending
any  such  loss,  claim,  damage,  liability  or  action.   Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  Company shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party in any such case
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based  upon any  untrue or  alleged  untrue  statement  or  omission  or alleged
omission  made  in  such   registration   statement,   preliminary   prospectus,
prospectus,  or amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity  with
written information  furnished to Company through an instrument duly executed by
such  Indemnified  Party  specifically  stating  that  it is  expressly  for use
therein.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive
the transfer of such Warrants or Warrant Shares by any such Holder.

     g.  Indemnification  by Holders.  Each Holder whose Warrant Shares are sold
under any registration  statement pursuant to this Section (by inclusion of such
Warrant  Shares  thereunder)  shall  indemnify  and hold  harmless  Company (the
officers,  directors  and  controlling  Persons  thereof),  each other Holder of
Warrants and each other Holder of Warrant  Shares (and the  directors,  officers
and  controlling  Persons of each such  Holder),  each other Person (if any) who
acts on behalf of or at the  request  of  Company  or such  other  Holder,  each
underwriter,  and each other Person who  participates in the offering of Warrant
Shares  (collectively,  for purposes of this Clause, the "Indemnified  Parties")
against any losses, claims,  damages or liabilities,  joint or several, to which
such Indemnified  Party may become subject under the Securities Act or any other
statute or at common law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or  actions in respect  thereof)  arise out of or are based upon  either of the
following:

          (i) any untrue  statement or alleged untrue  statement of any material
     fact  contained  (on  the  effective  date  thereof)  in  any  registration
     statement (or any amendment  thereto)  under which such Warrant Shares were
     registered  under the Securities Act at the request of such Holder,  or the
     omission or alleged  omission  therefrom of a material  fact required to be
     stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
     circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

          (ii) any untrue  statement or alleged  untrue  statement of a material
     fact  contained  in  any  preliminary  prospectus  or  prospectus  (or  any
     amendment  or  supplement  thereto)  or the  omission  or alleged  omission
     therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements  therein,  in
     the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

but only to the extent (with  respect to either of the  foregoing  Clauses) that
such  untrue  statement  or alleged  untrue  statement  or  omission  or alleged
omission  was  made  in such  registration  statement,  preliminary  prospectus,
prospectus,  amendment or supplement  in reliance  upon and in  conformity  with
written information  furnished to Company through an instrument duly executed by
such Holder specifically stating that it is expressly for use therein. Each such
Holder shall also  reimburse  each such  Indemnified  Party for any legal or any
other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending
any  such  loss,  claim,  damage,  liability  or  action.   Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  no such Holder shall be liable to any Indemnified  Party in any such
instance to the extent

                                       11
<PAGE>

(a) such loss,  claim,  damage or liability  relates to any untrue  statement or
omission,  or any alleged  untrue  statement or omission,  made in a preliminary
prospectus but eliminated or remedied in a final  prospectus,  and (b) a copy of
the final  prospectus was not delivered to the Person  asserting the claim at or
prior to the time  required  by the  Securities  Act in an  instance  for  which
delivery  thereof would have constituted a defense to the claim asserted by such
Person.

     h. Certain  Notices and Other Rights Relating to  Indemnification.  A party
from whom  indemnity  may be sought  pursuant to the  provisions of this Section
shall not be liable  for such  indemnity  with  respect to any claim as to which
indemnity is sought unless the party seeking such indemnity  shall have notified
such  indemnifying  party in writing of the nature of such claim  promptly after
such indemnified party becomes aware of the assertion  thereof.  Notwithstanding
the  foregoing,  the  failure to so notify  such  indemnifying  party  shall not
relieve  such party  from any  liability  which it may have to such  indemnified
party  otherwise  than on account of the  provisions  of this  Section or if the
failure to give such notice  promptly  shall not have been  prejudicial  to such
indemnifying  party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any compromise or
settlement  of any such action  effected  without its consent.  No  indemnifying
party (in the  defense of any such claim or suit),  without  the consent of each
indemnified  party,  shall consent to any compromise or settlement that does not
include as an  unconditional  term  thereof  the giving by the  claimant to such
indemnified  party of a complete  release from all  liability in respect of such
claim or suit.

     i. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnification  provided for in this Section for any
reason is held to be  unenforceable  although  applicable in accordance with its
terms,  Company and the Holders, as amongst themselves,  shall contribute to the
losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities  and expenses  described  herein in such
proportions  so  that  the  portion  thereof  for  which  any  Holder  shall  be
responsible shall be limited to the portion determined by a court or the parties
to any  settlement  to be  directly  attributable  to an untrue  statement  of a
material  fact or an  omission  to  state  a  material  fact  in a  registration
statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto
in specific reliance upon and in conformity with written  information  furnished
to Company  through an  instrument  duly  executed by such  Holder  specifically
stating that it is expressly for use therein,  and Company shall be  responsible
for the balance.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the liability of each Holder
shall be limited to the net  proceeds  received  by such Holder from the sale of
the Warrant Shares sold by it thereunder.  Company and the Holders agree that it
would not be just and equitable if their  respective  obligations  to contribute
were to be  determined  by pro rata  allocation,  by  reference  to the proceeds
realized by them or in any manner which does not take into account the equitable
considerations set forth in this Clause.

     4.5. RIGHTS UPON EQUITY DISPOSITIONS AND NON-SURVIVING TRANSACTIONS.

     a. Offer to Purchase.  In  connection  with any Equity  Disposition  or any
Non-Surviving Transaction,  Company or the acquiror in any Equity Disposition or
Non-Surviving  Transaction  shall also offer to  purchase on the terms set forth
below  all  of  the  Warrant  Shares  and  all of  the  Warrants.  If an  Equity
Disposition is of less than all of the Capital Stock then outstanding,  then the
number of Warrants  and Warrant  Shares  subject to purchase  under this Section
shall be

                                       12
<PAGE>

reduced  proportionately (to the nearest whole number),  and such reduced number
will be allocated pro rata among all Holders  desiring to tender  Warrant Shares
or Warrants in connection with such transaction.

     b. Notice of Proposed  Transaction.  Company  shall give written  notice to
each Holder of Warrants and each Holder of Warrant Shares (at each such Holder's
last known address as it appears on Company's books and records)  promptly after
an agreement in principle is reached with respect to any Equity  Disposition  or
any  Non-Surviving  Transaction  (but,  in any event,  at least 30 calendar days
prior to the closing of any such transaction).

     c. Purchase Price.  If a Holder accepts the offer under this Section,  then
(as a condition to consummation of such Equity  Disposition or any Non-Surviving
Transaction)  either Company or such acquiror  shall purchase  (either before or
concurrently with the consummation of such transaction) all Warrants and Warrant
Shares  tendered  by a Holder  thereof at a cash price per  Warrant  and Warrant
Share equal to the result of the following formula:

          (i) the  product of (1) the  aggregate  consideration  received by all
          sellers and transferors in connection with such  transaction or series
          of related transactions (including the consideration to be received by
          the holders of Warrants and Warrant Shares pursuant to this provision)
          and (2) a fraction  the  numerator  of which is the number of Warrants
          and Warrant  Shares  tendered  for  purchase in  connection  with such
          transaction or series of related  transactions  and the denominator of
          which is the sum of the number of shares of Common  Stock  outstanding
          immediately   prior  to  such   transaction   or  series  of   related
          transactions  plus the number of Warrants and Warrant Shares  tendered
          for purchase  (which result is the amount of  consideration  available
          for all Warrants and Warrant Shares  tendered in connection  with such
          transaction), divided by

          (ii) the number of Warrants and Warrant  Shares  tendered for purchase
          in  connection  with such  transaction  (which result is the amount of
          consideration available for each Warrant and Warrant Share tendered in
          connection with such transaction), minus

          (iii) the  Exercise  Price  then in effect  (but only with  respect to
          Warrants and not Warrant Shares).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any such Equity Disposition or
Non-Surviving Transaction,  each Holder may elect (at its option) to receive the
purchase  price  payable under this Section pro rata in kind in the same form of
consideration as is to be received by Company or such selling equityholder.

     d. Payment of Purchase Price.  Company (either before or concurrently  with
the  consummation  of such  transactions)  shall  distribute  to the  respective
Holders of Warrants  and Warrant  Shares (or to such other Person as such Holder
may direct Company in writing) the

                                       13
<PAGE>

applicable  purchase price for each tendered  Warrant Share and Warrant in cash,
by  certified  or  cashier's  check,  by wire  transfer  or by any  other  means
acceptable to such Holder. In addition,  Company shall also deliver to each such
Holder (as and to the extent applicable) a return or re-issuance of Warrants and
Warrant Shares not purchased in connection with any such transaction.

     e.   Determination   of  "Aggregate   Consideration".   Unless  the  entire
consideration in such transaction consists of cash or unless otherwise agreed by
Holders of Warrants and Warrant  Shares,  then the fair value of the  "aggregate
consideration"  to be received by all sellers and transferors in connection with
an Equity  Disposition or  Non-Surviving  Transaction  shall be determined by an
Independent  Appraiser  selected  by Holders of a majority of the  Warrants  and
Warrant Shares and approved by Company (which  approval may not be  unreasonably
withheld,  delayed or conditioned).  Such Independent Appraiser shall use one or
more valuation methods that the Independent  Appraiser (in its best professional
judgment)  determines to be most appropriate under the circumstances;  provided,
that (i) such valuation  methods shall take into account any related  agreements
that result in personal gain, payments or compensation to any director,  officer
or  equityholder  of Company,  and (ii) such  valuation  methods  shall not give
effect to (1) any discount for any lack of liquidity or minority status,  or (2)
the fact that such equity  securities may not be registered under the Securities
Act. Such Independent  Appraiser,  as promptly as is reasonably  possible,  will
prepare and deliver to Company and to each Holder of a Warrant or Warrant  Share
a written valuation report indicating (a) the methods of valuation considered or
used, and (b) the value of the "aggregate consideration" paid by the acquiror in
connection with the particular Equity  Disposition or Non-Surviving  Transaction
or otherwise  received by the sellers and  transferors in connection  therewith,
and (c) the nature and scope of the examination or investigation  upon which the
determination  of value was made.  Unless the valuation report is revised by the
Independent  Appraiser  within 5 Business Days after delivery  thereof or unless
Company and Holders otherwise mutually agree, then the valuation report shall be
deemed final at the end of such  5-Business-Day  period.  Company  shall pay the
fees and expenses associated with the Independent Appraiser.

     4.6. REPURCHASE OFFERS.

     a. Offer to Repurchase. Within 30 calendar days following the occurrence of
any  Repurchase  Condition,   Company  shall  make  a  written  offer  (each,  a
"Repurchase  Offer")  to  repurchase  at the  Repurchase  Price up to all of the
Warrant Shares and Warrants  owned by each Holder.  Each such  Repurchase  Offer
(among  other  things)  shall  indicate the date of  occurrence  of the relevant
Repurchase Condition and shall provide a calculation of the Current Market Price
per  Warrant  Share  (together  with a copy  of  documentation  supporting  such
calculation).  Each such Repurchase  Offer shall be delivered by Company to each
such Holder  entitled  thereto by first-class  mail to the last known address of
such Holder on the books and records of Company.

     b. "Repurchase Condition". A "Repurchase Condition" will be deemed to occur
(1) on February  28, 2002,  and (2) on February  28,  2009,  and (3) at any time
after June 30, 2002, and prior to November 30, 2009 upon a written  request from
Holders of at least 50% of the outstanding  Warrants and Warrant Shares, and (4)
upon any full repayment of the  indebtedness  under the Loan Documents,  and (5)
upon the  occurrence  of any Event of Default under and as defined in the Credit
Agreement.

                                       14
<PAGE>

     c. "Repurchase  Price". The "Repurchase Price" for each Warrant and Warrant
Share in connection  with any such  Repurchase  Offer will be the Current Market
Price per Warrant Share,  less with respect to Warrants (but not Warrant Shares)
the Exercise Price then in effect.

     d.  Acceptance  of  Repurchase  Offer.  At any time within 60 calendar days
after a Holder  receives  a  Repurchase  Offer  (together  with a final  written
valuation report), each such Holder may accept such Repurchase Offer by agreeing
to tender for repurchase by Company all or any portion of such Holder's  Warrant
Shares and Warrants.

     e. Payment of Purchase Price. Within 30 calendar days of receiving any such
agreement to tender Warrant Shares or Warrants, Company shall distribute to each
such  Holder (or to such  other  Person as such  Holder  may  direct  Company in
writing) the applicable  Repurchase  Price for each such tendered  Warrant Share
and Warrant in cash, by certified or cashier's check, by wire transfer or by any
other means  acceptable to such Holder  (concurrently  with which  distribution,
such Holder shall  deliver to Company the Warrant  Certificates  and/or  Warrant
Shares). In addition,  Company shall also deliver to each such Holder (as and to
the extent  applicable) a return or  re-issuance  of Warrants and Warrant Shares
not tendered for repurchase.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the
Repurchase  Condition  occurring  concurrently  with any full  repayment  of the
indebtedness  under the Loan  Documents  under Clause "b(4)"  above,  unless the
Holders  otherwise  consent,  Company  shall  establish  a  cash  escrow  of the
Repurchase Price with a "well capitalized"  depository institution  concurrently
with any such full repayment of the  indebtedness  under the Loan Documents (but
such cash escrow shall be returned to Company if the Holders elect not to accept
such Repurchase Offer).

     4.7. CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. The rights of Holders upon the occurrence of events
set forth in this Article 4 are  cumulative.  If more than one such event occurs
simultaneously  (or the time period for  exercising  any such rights  overlaps),
then each  Holder  can elect  which  rights (if any) to  exercise  and any prior
inclusion  or  surrender  of  Warrants  or  Warrant  Shares  with  respect  to a
transaction  that has not yet closed may be rescinded by such Holder during such
overlapping  period in order to exercise  rights arising under any  concurrently
occurring event.

     4.8. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS  CONDITIONED UPON CLOSING OF TRANSACTION  INVOLVED.
The rights of Holders to have  Warrants or Warrant  Shares  included and sold in
any Public  Offering or purchased  in any Equity  Disposition  or  Non-Surviving
Transaction  pursuant to this Article 4 are conditioned upon the consummation of
the proposed  transaction.  Neither Company nor any equityholder involved in any
such proposed transaction shall have any obligation to Holders to consummate any
such proposed  transaction once an agreement in principle or decision to proceed
with respect thereto is reached, except as expressly provided in this Article 4.

     4.9.  PAYMENT  OF  TAXES  AND  EXPENSES.  Company  will  pay  all  expenses
(including  reasonable  costs and expenses of Holders and legal counsel thereto,
but excluding  underwriter's  and/or broker's discounts and commissions),  taxes
(other  than  income  taxes)  and other  fees and  charges  attributable  to the
issuance, registration,

                                       15
<PAGE>

qualification,  notification,  approval,  listing,  transfer pursuant to Section
4.5, and/or repurchase of the Warrants, the Warrant Certificates and the Warrant
Shares.

      4.10.  RESERVATION  AND  ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES.  Company at all times
shall  reserve  (and keep  free from  preemptive  rights  or  similar  rights of
equityholders  of Company) among its  authorized but unissued  shares of Capital
Stock the full number of Warrant Shares  deliverable upon exercise of all of the
Warrants.  Company  covenants  that all Warrant  Shares (when and if issued upon
exercise  of the  Warrants in  accordance  with the terms  hereof)  will be duly
authorized,  validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (and will be free from
all taxes,  liens,  charges and security  interests with respect to the issuance
thereof).  Before taking any action that could cause an  adjustment  pursuant to
Article 5,  Company will take any  corporate  action that (in the opinion of its
counsel) may be necessary or  appropriate  in order that Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable  Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price
as so adjusted.

     4.11.  CORRECTIVE  ADJUSTMENTS.  Company hereby acknowledges that Purchaser
has relied upon, among other things,  the  representation and warranty set forth
in Section 3.6 regarding the outstanding Capital Stock of Company and the rights
to acquire Capital Stock of Company as of the date of this  Agreement.  If it is
later determined that the  representation  and warranty set forth in Section 3.6
is untrue or  inaccurate  such that the  outstanding  Capital Stock or rights to
acquire  Capital  Stock are  greater  that the amount  disclosed  therein,  then
Company  shall  notify  each  Holder  in  writing  within  10  Business  Days of
discovering such inaccuracy and shall promptly  prepare,  execute and deliver to
the Holders such  additional  documents  and  certificates  as are  necessary to
equitably  adjust the Warrants and Warrant Shares  deliverable  upon exercise of
all  Warrants  for the benefit of Holders.  Such  adjustment  shall  include the
issuance of  additional  Warrants  or the  reduction  in  Exercise  Price of the
Warrants, as approved in writing by Holders of a majority of the Warrants.

     4.12. LISTING OF SHARES. If Company lists any shares of Common Stock on any
national  securities  exchange,  inter-dealer  quotation system or other market,
then  Company (at its  expense)  will use its best  efforts to cause the Warrant
Shares to be  approved  for  listing,  subject to notice of  issuance,  and will
provide  prompt  notice to each  such  exchange,  system or other  market of the
issuance thereof from time to time.

     4.13. LISTS OF HOLDERS.  Company (from time to time upon the request of any
Holder) will provide such Holder with a list of the registered Holders and their
respective addresses.

     4.14.  STATEMENT OF WARRANT  INTEREST.  Company (from time to time upon the
request of any  Holder)  will  provide  such  Holder  with a  statement  of such
Holder's   interest  in  Company   containing  the  following   information  (as
applicable): (a) the number of Warrants then owned of record by such Holder, and
(b) the number of Warrant Shares  purchasable  upon the exercise of each Warrant
then owned of record by such Holder,  and (c) the Exercise Price of each Warrant
then owned of record by such Holder, and (d) the number of

                                       16
<PAGE>

Warrant Shares then owned of record by such Holder,  and (e) a chart  describing
(in reasonable detail) the then current capitalization of Company.

     4.15. RIGHT OF INSPECTION.  At any time and from time to time during normal
business hours (upon  reasonable  prior written  notice) Company will permit any
Holder (or any agent or  representative  thereof,  but at such Holder's cost and
expense) (i) to visit,  and (ii) to examine and make copies of and abstracts ---
from the books and records of Company and its Subsidiaries, and (iii) to discuss
the affairs, finances, and --- accounts of Company and its Subsidiaries with any
of their respective officers, directors and independent accountants.

     4.16.  ATTENDANCE  AND  PARTICIPATION  RIGHTS.  So long as the Warrants and
Warrant  Shares of  Holders  (together  will all other  warrants  and  shares of
Capital Stock owned by Holders) collectively  represent 5% or more of the Common
Stock of Company (on a fully diluted basis),  then a  representative  of Holders
shall be entitled (if at any time hereafter  Holders so elect) to attend each of
the  meetings  of  Company's  Board  of  Directors  (including,  each  committee
thereof).   Notwithstanding   the   foregoing,   at  the   request  of  Company,
representatives of Holders may be required temporarily to leave any such meeting
of the Board of  Directors  if such action is  necessary  to preserve  Company's
attorney-client  privilege  with  respect to such  meetings  or the  information
disseminated  therein.  In addition,  at all times while any Holder owns Warrant
Shares  (together  with all other shares of Capital  Stock owned by such Holder)
representing 5% or more of the issued and outstanding  Common Stock, such Holder
(at its  option)  shall be  entitled  to  designate  a pro rata  percent  of the
positions  on the Board of  Directors  (and each  committee  thereof) of Company
(rounded upwards to the next whole number). The Company will cause any directors
designated by a Holder to be included among the nominees who are recommended for
election as  directors  by  management  of the  Company,  at each meeting of the
Company's  stockholders  at which  directors  of the Company are  proposed to be
elected.

     4.17.  COMPLIANCE  WITH APPROVAL  REQUIREMENTS.  If any Warrants or Warrant
Shares require  registration  or approval of the FCC, any State PUC or any other
governmental  authority (or the taking of any other action under the laws of the
United  States of America or any  political  subdivision  thereof)  before  such
securities  may be validly  issued,  then Company will secure and maintain  such
registration  or approval or will take such other action as and when  necessary.
4.1.

                      ARTICLE 5. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS

     5.1. ADJUSTMENTS TO WARRANT SHARES PURCHASABLE AND EXERCISE PRICE.

     a. Equity Dividends,  Restructurings and  Reclassifications.  If Company at
any time (1)  declares or pays a dividend on its  outstanding  Capital  Stock in
shares of Common Stock or other  securities of Company,  or (2)  subdivides  its
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (3)

                                       17
<PAGE>

combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
or (4)  issues by  reclassification  of the Common  Stock  other  securities  of
Company  (including  any such  reclassification  in  connection  with a  merger,
consolidation  or other  business  combination in which Company is the surviving
entity), then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of
each Warrant shall be adjusted so that each Holder of a Warrant upon exercise of
such  Warrant  shall be  entitled to receive  the  aggregate  number and kind of
Warrant Shares or other  securities of Company that such Holder would have owned
or would have been  entitled to receive  after the  occurrence of any such event
had such Warrant been  exercised  immediately  prior to the  occurrence  of such
event (or, if earlier,  any record date with respect  thereto).  Any  adjustment
required by this  Clause (a) shall  become  effective  on the date of such event
retroactive  to the record date with respect  thereto (if any), and (b) shall be
made successively whenever any such event occurs.

     b. Rights to Purchase Below Target Current Market Price.  If Company issues
any rights,  options or warrants to subscribe  for or purchase  Common Stock (or
securities  convertible or exchangeable  into Common Stock) at a price per share
(or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than the Target Market
Price per share of  Common  Stock or  without  consideration,  then the  current
Exercise  Price to be in effect after such issuance  shall be reduced to a price
determined as follows:

         multiply (1) the  Exercise  Price in effect  immediately  prior to such
         issuance by (2) a fraction (i) the  numerator of which is the number of
         shares of Common Stock  outstanding  on the date of such  issuance plus
         the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price
         of the total  number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the
         aggregate  initial  conversion or exchange price of the  convertible or
         exchangeable  securities so to be offered) would purchase at the Target
         Market Price and (ii) the  denominator of which is the number of shares
         of  Common  Stock  outstanding  on the date of such  issuance  plus the
         number  of  additional  shares  of  Common  Stock  to  be  offered  for
         subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable
         securities so to be offered are initially convertible).

The  provisions  of this  Clause,  however,  will not apply to any  issuance  of
Warrants or to any issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of any Warrants.  If
such subscription price may be paid in a consideration any of which is in a form
other  than  cash,  then the value of such  consideration  (unless  Company  and
Holders  otherwise  mutually  agree) shall be as  determined  by an  Independent
Appraiser,  and the Board of Directors of Company shall cause the related shares
to be fully  paid.  Any  adjustment  required  by this  Clause (a) shall  become
effective on the date of issuance retroactive to the record date for determining
equityholders  entitled  to  receive  such  issuance,  and  (b)  shall  be  made
successively whenever any such event occurs.

     c.  Distributions  of  Indebtedness,   Assets  or  Securities.  If  Company
distributes to any holders of Capital Stock (including any such  distribution in
connection  with a merger or  consolidation  in which Company is the  continuing
entity) evidences of indebtedness of Company,

                                       18
<PAGE>

assets  or   securities   (excluding   dividends  or   distributions   otherwise
appropriately covered under other Clauses of this Section 5.1), then the current
Exercise  Price to be in effect  after such  distribution  shall be reduced to a
price determined as follows:

     multiply (1) the Exercise Price in effect  immediately prior to such record
     date by (2) a fraction  (i) the  numerator  of which is the Current  Market
     Price per share of Common  Stock on such  record  date minus the fair value
     (as  determined by an  Independent  Appraiser,  unless  otherwise  mutually
     agreed by Company and  Holders) of the portion of the assets,  evidences of
     indebtedness  or other  securities so to be  distributed  applicable to one
     share of Capital  Stock and (ii) the  denominator  of which is the  Current
     Market Price per share of Common Stock.

Any adjustment required by this Clause (a) shall become effective on the date of
issuance retroactive to the record date for determining  equityholders  entitled
to receive such  distribution,  and (b) shall be made successively  whenever any
such event occurs.

     d. Other  Issuances  Below Target Market Price.  If Company issues or sells
any shares of Common  Stock (or  rights,  options,  warrants or  convertible  or
exchangeable  securities  containing a right to subscribe for or purchase shares
of Common Stock)  (excluding (i) issuances or sales with respect to transactions
otherwise appropriately covered under other Clauses of this Section 5.1 and (ii)
any Warrant Shares),  at a price per share less than the Target Market Price per
share of Common Stock in effect immediately prior to such sale or issuance, then
the number of Warrant Shares  thereafter  purchasable  upon the exercise of each
Warrant shall be determined as follows:

     multiply (1) the number of Warrant Shares theretofore  purchasable upon the
     exercise of each Warrant by (2) a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall
     be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
     such issuance or sale and (ii) the  denominator of which shall be an amount
     equal  to the sum of (A)  the  total  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
     outstanding  immediately prior to such issuance or sale plus (B) the number
     of shares of Common  Stock that the  aggregate  consideration  received (as
     determined  below) for such  issuance or sale would  purchase at the Target
     Market Price per share of Common Stock in effect  immediately prior to such
     sale and issuance.

For purposes of such adjustments,  the shares of Common Stock that the holder of
any such rights, options,  warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities is
entitled  to  subscribe  for or  purchase  shall  be  deemed  to be  issued  and
outstanding  as of the date of such  issuance  or sale,  and the  "consideration
received"  by Company  shall be deemed to be (a) the  consideration  received by
Company for such  rights,  options,  warrants  or  convertible  or  exchangeable
securities  plus  (b) the  consideration  or  premiums  stated  in such  rights,
options,  warrants or convertible or exchangeable  securities to be paid for the
shares of Common  Stock  purchasable  thereby.  If  Company  (i) issues or sells
shares  for  consideration  that  includes  any  property  other  than  cash  or
(ii) issues or sells shares  together with other  securities as a part of a unit
at a price per unit, then the "price per share" and the

                                       19
<PAGE>

"consideration  received" by Company for purposes of this Clause (unless Company
and Holders  otherwise  mutually  agree) will be  determined  by an  Independent
Appraiser.  Any  adjustment  required by this Clause (a) shall become  effective
retroactive  to the  date  of  issuance  or sale of any  such  rights,  options,
warrants  or  convertible  or  exchangeable  securities,  and (b)  shall be made
successively whenever any such event occurs.

     e. Dividend Dilution Fee. If any dividend, distribution or other payment is
made or accrued after the date hereof with respect to any Capital Stock or other
equity securities of Company, then Company (concurrently with any actual payment
thereof) shall make a payment in immediately  available  funds to each Holder of
Warrants  and/or Warrant Shares equal to such Holder's  percentage  ownership of
Company's  outstanding  Capital  Stock (but,  for such  purposes,  treating  all
Warrants as though they had then been exercised) of such dividend,  distribution
or other payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not be obligated
to make any such payment to a Holder (and no Holder shall be entitled to receive
such payment) to the extent that such Holder  otherwise  receives actual payment
of the corresponding  dividend or distribution relating to such Warrant Share as
a holder of Warrant Shares in such class of equity security.

     f.  Catchall  Anti-Dilution  Protection.  If Company  otherwise  issues any
securities or instruments or engages in any transaction an effect of which is to
dilute the economic  value or voting rights of any Holder's  Warrants or Warrant
Shares in a manner contrary to the general intent  expressed under Clause "a" of
this Section  (including  the issuance of any  securities  or  instruments  with
enhanced voting rights,  preemptive rights,  dividend preferences or liquidation
preferences),  then Company  will  implement  an  equitable  adjustment  to such
Holder's interest in Company (in a manner reasonably  acceptable to such Holder)
in order to account for the effects of such transaction. Any adjustment required
by this Clause shall be made  successively  whenever any such event  occurs.  If
Company  and  Holders  are  unable  to agree on the  amount  or form of any such
equitable  adjustment,   then  Company  will  retain  an  Independent  Appraiser
acceptable to Holders (which  acceptance may not be unreasonably  withheld) that
will determine the amount and form of such equitable adjustment.

     g. Preemptive Rights for Any Non-Protected  Issuances. If Company otherwise
issues or sells any shares of Capital  Stock (or  rights,  options,  warrants or
convertible or exchangeable  securities containing the right to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock)  (excluding  issuances or sales with respect to
transactions for which Holders otherwise  appropriately  received  anti-dilution
protection  under  other  Clauses  of this  Section  5.1),  then each  Holder of
Warrants  and/or Warrant Shares shall be entitled at any time during the term of
this  Warrant  Agreement  to  acquire  (at the  lesser of the price paid by such
acquiror of Capital Stock or the Current Market Price therefor, and on terms and
conditions  otherwise at least as favorable as was offered to such  acquiror) an
amount of  additional  shares of Capital Stock that would entitle such Holder to
have the same  aggregate  percentage of Capital Stock (on a fully diluted basis)
as  such  Holder  had  or  was  entitled  to  have  immediately  prior  to  such
transaction.

     h. Rights  Applicable to Shares Other than Common Stock. If at any time (as
a result of an adjustment  made  pursuant to this Section 5.1) a Holder  becomes
entitled  to receive any shares of Company  other than  shares of Common  Stock,
then  thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable  upon exercise of
any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment  from time to time in

                                       20
<PAGE>

a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with
respect to the Warrant Shares  contained in this Section 5.1, and the provisions
of Article 4 with  respect to the  Warrant  Shares  shall apply on like terms to
such other shares.

     i. Holders Entitled to Equivalent  Rights. If Company has otherwise granted
or  hereafter  grants  to any  Person  any  other  or  additional  anti-dilution
protection  or preemptive  rights with respect to any  securities of Company (or
similar  protections  or  rights  with any more  favorable  or less  restrictive
terms),  then  Company  will  promptly  notify each Holder of Warrants  and each
Holder of Warrant Shares, and such protections and rights (or the more favorable
or  less  restrictive  terms  thereof)  will  be  deemed   automatically  to  be
incorporated  into this Agreement  (without the necessity of any other action by
the parties  hereto) as  additional  protections  and rights that each Holder is
entitled to exercise.

     j.  Expiration  of  Rights  Previously  Subject  to  Adjustment.  Upon  the
expiration  of any rights,  options or  warrants  that  resulted in  adjustments
pursuant to this Section 5.1 that were not  exercised,  then the Exercise  Price
and the number of Warrant Shares  purchasable shall be readjusted and thereafter
shall be such as it would have been had it been originally  adjusted (or had the
original adjustment not been required,  as applicable) as if (A) the only shares
of Common Stock  purchasable  upon exercise of such rights,  options or warrants
were the  shares  of  Common  Stock  (if any)  actually  issued or sold upon the
exercise of such rights, options or warrants and (B) such shares of Common Stock
so issued or sold (if any) were issuable for the consideration actually received
by  Company  for the  issuance,  sale or grant of all such  rights,  options  or
warrants whether or not exercised;  provided that no such  readjustment may have
the effect of increasing  the Exercise Price or decreasing the number of Warrant
Shares  purchasable upon the exercise of a Warrant by an amount in excess of the
amount of the  adjustment  initially  made in respect to the  issuance,  sale or
grant of such rights, options or warrants.

     k. Election to Adjust Warrants  Rather than Exercise Price.  Any Holder may
elect on or after the date of any adjustment to the Exercise Price to adjust the
number of Warrants  (and  Warrant  Shares  purchasable)  instead of the Exercise
Price.  Upon any such  election,  the number of  Warrants  (and  Warrant  Shares
purchasable)  will be  determined  by  multiplying  the number of  Warrants  and
Warrant Shares  purchasable by a fraction the numerator of which is the Exercise
Price in effect  immediately  prior to such  adjustment  and the  denominator of
which is the Exercise Price in effect as a result of such adjustment.

     l. Adjustments for Subsidiaries Not Wholly-Owned by Company.  If Company at
any time  does not own 100% of the  Capital  Stock of any  Subsidiary,  then the
number of Warrant  Shares  purchasable  upon  exercise of each Warrant  shall be
adjusted in accordance with the following  formula:  multiply (1) the percentage
of the Capital  Stock of Company to which  Holders  would  otherwise be entitled
under this Warrant  Agreement by (2) a fraction (i) the  numerator of which is 1
and (ii) the denominator of which is the percentage of the Capital Stock of such
Subsidiary then owned by Company.

     5.2. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT.  Upon any adjustment required under this Article
5, Company (at its expense) shall mail (within 10 Business Days after such

                                       21
<PAGE>

adjustment) by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Warrants and
each Holder of Warrant  Shares a notice of such  adjustment.  Such notice  shall
include the  following  (each in reasonable  detail):  (i) the number of Warrant
Shares  purchasable  upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price of
such  Warrant  after such  adjustment,  and (ii) a brief  statement of the facts
requiring such  adjustment,  and (iii) the  computation by which such adjustment
was made.

     5.3.  PRESERVATION  OF  PURCHASE  RIGHTS  UPON  CERTAIN  TRANSACTIONS.   In
connection  with any merger,  consolidation,  reorganization  or  combination of
Company with or into  another  Person  (whether or not Company is the  surviving
entity),   or  any  sale,  transfer  or  lease  to  another  Person  of  all  or
substantially  all the property of Company,  then Company (or such  successor or
purchasing  Person)  shall  execute  an  agreement  in favor of each  Holder  of
Warrants  giving such Holder the right  thereafter  upon payment of the Exercise
Price in effect  immediately  prior to such action to purchase  upon exercise of
each  Warrant the kind and amount of  securities,  cash and  property  that such
Holder  would  have  owned or would  have been  entitled  to  receive  after the
happening of such merger,  consolidation,  combination,  sale, transfer or lease
had such Warrant been exercised  immediately  prior to such action.  If any such
successor,  reorganized or purchasing Person is not a corporation taxed as a "C"
corporation, then such Person shall also provide appropriate tax indemnification
with  respect to such shares and other  securities  and  property so that,  upon
exercise of the Warrants,  each Holder  thereof will have the same benefits such
Holder  otherwise  would have had if such successor or purchasing  Person were a
corporation.  Such  agreement  shall  provide for  adjustments  that shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments  provided for in this
Article 5. The  provisions of this Section shall  similarly  apply to successive
mergers, consolidations, combinations, sales, transfers or leases.

                         ARTICLE 6. COMPANY'S COVENANTS

     6.1. INFORMATION.

     a. Information Provided by Company to Other Persons. Whether or not Company
is subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, Company will provide each Holder with a copy of all information  (including
financial information) and other communications that are sent by or on behalf of
Company (i) to any class of Company's  equityholders  (if such  communication is
material),  or (ii) to the members of Company's Board of Directors,  or (iii) to
the Commission.  Company shall provide such  information and  communications  to
Holders concurrently with providing it to such third parties.

     b. Specific Additional  Information.  Company will also provide each Holder
written notice of (and describing in reasonable detail) the occurrence of any of
the following events:

          1. Company  offers or issues to any Person any shares of Capital Stock
     or securities  convertible  into or  exchangeable  for Capital Stock or any
     right to subscribe for or purchase any thereof; or

          2. A dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Company; or

                                       22
<PAGE>

          3. An agreement  in principle is reached  and/or a letter of intent is
     executed  with  respect  to  any  Equity   Disposition   or   Non-Surviving
     Transaction; or

          4. Company  declares or makes  (directly or  indirectly)  any payment,
     dividend or distribution  (in cash or otherwise) with respect to, or incurs
     any liability for the purchase,  acquisition,  redemption or retirement of,
     any Capital  Stock or as a dividend,  return of capital or other payment or
     distribution of any kind to any equityholder.

Each such  notice  shall be mailed by Company to each  Holder (at such  Holder's
last known  address on the books and  records of  Company)  at least 20 Business
Days prior to the applicable record date of such transaction.

     c.  Additional  Requested  Information.  In addition to the information and
disclosures  otherwise required under this Agreement,  Company will also provide
to each Holder any  information  reasonably  requested from time to time by such
Holder relating to the operations, business plans and/or ownership of Company.

     d. Disclosure of Information by Holders. Each Holder will employ reasonable
procedures  to  treat  as  confidential  all  written,   non-public  information
delivered to such Holder pursuant to this Agreement  concerning the performance,
operations,   assets,   structure   and  business   plans  of  Company  that  is
conspicuously designated by Company as confidential information.  While other or
different confidentiality  procedures may be employed by each Holder, the actual
procedures  employed by such Holder for this purpose will be conclusively deemed
to be reasonable if they are at least as protective of such  information  as the
procedures generally employed by such Holder to safeguard the confidentiality of
such  Holder's  own  information  that such  Holder  generally  considers  to be
confidential.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  each  Holder may  disclose  any
information concerning Company in such Holder's possession from time to time (a)
to  permitted  participants,  transferees,  assignees,  pledgees  and  investors
(including  prospective  participants,   transferees,  assignees,  pledgees  and
investors),  but subject to a reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding any
non-public  confidential  information thereby disclosed,  and (b) in response to
credit  inquiries  consistent  with general  banking  practices,  and (c) to any
federal or state regulator of such Holder, and (d) to such Holder's  Affiliates,
employees, legal counsel, appraisers, accountants, agents and investors, and (e)
to any Person pursuant to compulsory  judicial process,  and (f) to any judicial
or  arbitration  forum in connection  with enforcing this Agreement or defending
any action based upon this Agreement or the relationship between such Holder and
Company,   and  (g)  to  any  other   Person  with  respect  to  the  public  or
non-confidential  portions  of  any  such  information.  Moreover,  each  Holder
(without any  compensation,  remuneration or notice to Company) may also include
operational, performance and structural information and data relating to Company
in  compilations,  reports  and data  bases  assembled  by such  Holder  (or its
Affiliates)  and used to conduct,  support,  assist in and  validate  portfolio,
industry  and credit  research and  analysis  for itself  and/or other  Persons;
provided,  however,  that such Holder may not thereby  disclose to other Persons
any information  relating to Company in a manner that is attributable to Company
unless (1) such  disclosure is permitted  under the standards  outlined above in
this Section or (2) Company otherwise separately consents thereto (which consent
may not be unreasonably withheld).

the prior written  consent of Holders  representing a majority of Warrant Shares

rights, dividends and preferences of the Warrant Shares.

     6.4.  REINCORPORATION  AND  REORGANIZATION.  Company  shall not at any time
reincorporate  in any  jurisdiction or reorganize into a different form of legal
entity  unless (in each such  instance)  Company shall have received a favorable
opinion of counsel to the effect  that such  reincorporation  or  reorganization
shall impose no direct or contingent liability on Holders under the laws of such
jurisdiction. A copy of each such opinion shall be provided to each Holder.

     6.5. EXISTENCE,  GOOD STANDING AND AUTHORIZATIONS.  Company and each of its
Subsidiaries  shall  preserve and maintain its  existence in good  standing as a
organization  under  the  laws  of its  jurisdiction  of  incorporation  and the
validity of all its  authorizations  and licenses required in the conduct of its
businesses.

     6.6.  CONDUCT OF  BUSINESS.  Without the prior  written  consent of Holders
representing a majority of Warrant Shares and Warrants (which consent may not be
unreasonably  withheld),  Company  (a) will  continue to engage in (and only in)
businesses of the same general type as now conducted by it, and (b) will comply,
and will cause each  Subsidiary  to comply,  in all material  respects  with all
applicable  material laws,  regulations,  and orders, and (c) will not (and will

transaction.

                             ARTICLE 7. DEFINITIONS

valuation  methods  that the  Independent  Appraiser  (in its best  professional
judgment)  determines to be most appropriate under the circumstances;  provided,
that such  valuation  methods  shall not give effect to (1) any discount for any
lack of liquidity of the Warrants, Warrant Shares and/or such other security, or

security,  or (3) the fact that  Company may have no class of equity  securities
registered under the Securities Act. Such Independent Appraiser,  as promptly as
is reasonably  possible,  will prepare and deliver to Company and to each Holder
of a Warrant or Warrant  Share a written  valuation  report  indicating  (a) the
methods of valuation considered or used, and (b) the value of a Warrant Share or

upon which the  determination of value was made.  Unless the valuation report is

thereof  or unless  Company  and  Holders  otherwise  mutually  agree,  then the
