on May 2, 1996 and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on May 1,

Company may treat the registered
2
holder of this Warrant as it appears on the Company's books at any time

-----------------------------------------
may be transferred except in compliance with Section 11.1 of the Stock

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT
BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE
OF EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATE MENTS UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT THE TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER APPLICABLE

ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER PURSUANT TO A STOCK
PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED MARCH 25, 1995, BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE
HOLDER HEREOF (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE OFFICES OF THE
COMPANY)."

-------------
a Registration Rights Agreement, dated the date of this Warrant, between
the Company and the Holder.
4.5 Listing. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any
--------
Warrant Shares unless and until such Warrant Shares shall have been listed
on each securities exchange or other self-regulatory body on which the
Common Shares may then be listed or until there shall have been
qualification under or compliance with applicable Federal or state laws.
The Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such listing,
qualification and compliance.
SECTION 5. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by
---------------------
virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company,
either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to
those expressed in this Warrant.
SECTION 6. Anti-Dilution Provisions.
-------------------------
6.1. Adjustments for Stock Dividends; Combinations, Etc. In case
---------------------------------------------------
the Company shall do any of the following (each, an "Event"):
(a) declare a dividend or other distribution on its Common Shares
payable in Common Shares of the Company;
(b) effect a subdivision of its outstanding Common Shares into a
greater number of Common Shares (by
3
reclassification, stock split or otherwise than by payment of a dividend
in Common Shares);
(c) effect a combination of its outstanding Common Shares into a
lesser number of Common Shares (by reclassification, reverse split or
otherwise);
(d) issue by reclassification, exchange or substitution of its
Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company; or
(e) effect any other transaction having a similar effect,
then the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such
Event shall be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise
Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common
Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Event and the denominator of
which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after
such Event. Each such adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be calculated
to the nearest cent. No such adjustment shall be made in an amount less
than One Cent ($.01), but any such amount shall be carried forward and
shall be given effect in connection with the next subsequent adjustment.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any Event shall occur.
6.2 Adjustment in the Number of Warrant Shares. Whenever the
-------------------------------------------
Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, the number
of Warrant Shares which the Holder may purchase upon exercise of the
Warrant shall be adjusted, to the nearest full share, by multiplying such
number of Warrant Shares immediately prior to such adjustment by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately
prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise
Price immediately thereafter.
6.3 Adjustment for Consolidation or Merger. In case of any
---------------------------------------
consolidation or merger to which the Company shall be a party, other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Company shall be the surviving or
continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another
entity of all or substantially all of the property of the Company, or in
the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another entity
(including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of any other
corporation with the Company), the Holder shall have the right thereafter
to convert this Warrant into the kind and amount of securities, cash or
other property which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive
immediately after such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or
conveyance had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the
effective date of such transaction and, if necessary, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the application of the
4
provisions set forth in this Section 6 with respect to the rights and
interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth
in this Section 6 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as
nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other
securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant. Notice of any such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale
or conveyance, and of the provisions proposed to be adjusted, shall be
mailed to the Holder not less than thirty days prior to such event.
SECTION 7. Redemption.
-----------
7.1 Optional Redemption. The Company may, at any time after
--------------------
December 1, 1995, and from time to time, elect to redeem all or any portion
of this Warrant at a redemption price of One Cent ($.01) per share (the
"Redemption Price") in the event that the average of the closing sale
prices per share of the Common Shares on The New York Stock Exchange for
any forty-five consecutive trading days shall equal or exceed the Target
Price (as hereinafter defined). For purposes hereof, the "Target Price"
shall be Seventeen Dollars ($17.00) per share until May 1, 1996 and
thereafter shall be Eighteen Dollars ($18.00) per share. The Target Price
shall be subject to adjustment in the manner set forth in Section 6.1 if
any of the events set forth therein shall occur. Following any redemption
pursuant to this Section 7.1, a further forty-five consecutive day trading
period in which the closing sale prices per share of the Common Shares on
the New York Stock Exchange shall equal or exceed the Target Price shall
apply to any further right to redemption by the Company.
7.2 Redemption After Sale of Shares. The Company may elect to
--------------------------------
redeem all or a portion of this Warrant at the Redemption Price at any time
after the Holder shall hold less than 8% of the issued and outstanding
Common Shares.
7.3 Redemption Notice. If the Company shall elect to redeem
------------------
this Warrant or any portion thereof pursuant to Sections 7.1 or 7.2 hereof,
notice of redemption shall be given to the Holder not less than thirty days
prior to the date fixed by the Company for redemption (the "Redemption
Date"). Such notice shall specify the portion of the Warrant to be
redeemed, the reason for the redemption, the Redemption Date and the
Redemption Price. Such notice shall also state that payment of such
Redemption Price will be made at the principal office of the Company, upon
presentation and surrender of this Warrant within thirty days following the
Redemption Date and that the right to exercise this Warrant (to the extent
redeemed) shall terminate at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
Redemption Date. "Final Redemption Date" shall mean the Redemption Date
fixed by the Company for redemption of the remaining portion of this
Warrant.

SECTION 8. Early Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to
----------------------
the contrary contained herein, this Warrant shall expire on May 1, 1997 and
shall cease to be exercisable, in whole or in part, after such date, if the
Company's net income after tax, as set forth on the Company's year-end
audited financial statements and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 8,
for its fiscal year ended September 28, 1996, shall exceed $5,000,000 (the
"Early Expiration Date"). The Company's net income after tax, for purposes
of this Section 8, shall be recomputed to (a) exclude the amount of any
extraordinary items of income or loss determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and (b)
subtract the amount, if any, by which $6,500,000 exceeds the amount of the
Company's research and development expenses, as shown on its year-end
audited financial statements for its 1996 fiscal year (exclusive of any
amounts included in such research and development expenses attributable to
the Company's investment in the joint venture formed pursuant to that
certain Joint Venture Agreement, dated as of the date hereof between the
Company and the Holder).

acquire, in open market transactions, any number of Securities (as
hereinafter defined) in accordance with Section 11.2(b) of the Stock
Purchase Agreement, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall, as of the date of such acquisition, be reduced in the
manner specified in said Section 11.2(b) of the Stock Purchase Agreement.
For the purposes hereof, "Securities" shall mean and include Common Shares,
and any rights, options, warrants or other securities of the Company
exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into Common Shares.
SECTION 11. Fully Paid Shares; Taxes. The Company agrees that

the Common Shares represented by each and every certificate for Warrant
Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the
terms hereof shall, at the time of such delivery, be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, pledges, options,
claims or other encumbrances. The Company further covenants and agrees
that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state
stamp, original issue or similar taxes (but not including any income
taxes) which may be payable in respect of the issue of any Warrant
Shares or certificates therefor.
SECTION 12. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Warrants. In the event
-----------------------------------
that the Holder shall notify the Company that this Warrant has been lost,

to the Company, to the effect that it shall indemnify the Company from any
loss incurred by the Company
6
in connection therewith, and/or (b) provides an indemnity bond in such
amount as shall be reasonably required by the Company, the Company having
