Item 5.           Other Events.

Prepayment of Loans Made by Bennett Management
and Development Corp.
---------------------

                  On  December  26,   1996,   the   Registrant's   wholly  owned
subsidiary,  Mountaineer  Park,  Inc.  ("Mountaineer"),   prepaid  in  full  the
outstanding  $8,711,273.16  balance  of a  construction  loan  made  by  Bennett
Management and Development Corp. of Syracuse, New York ("Bennett").  The Bennett
loan, which was in the original  principal amount of $10.2 million and was drawn
in 1994 and 1995 pursuant to a June 27, 1994  Construction  Loan  Agreement,  as
later  amended,  was  secured by a first  priority  credit line deed of trust on
Mountaineer's  real property and a perfected  security  interest  evidenced by a
UCC-1 Financing Statement with respect to its personal property.

                  The Bennett loan  required  Mountaineer  on January 2, 1997 to
pay Bennett either $500,000 in cash or $750,000 worth of the Registrant's common
stock if the loan was not prepaid by January 1, 1997.  Prior to a September  19,
1996 amendment of the Construction  Loan Agreement,  which was effective October
31,  1996,  the  January 2 payment  would  have been $2.5  million  worth of the
Registrant's  common stock.  The prepayment  permitted  Mountaineer to avoid the
January  2  payment.  Bennett  has  delivered  releases  of  the  liens  against
Mountaineer's real and personal  property.  The prepayment was from the proceeds
of a new $11.1 million loan discussed below.

                  Pursuant  to  the  Bennett  Construction  Loan  Agreement,  as
amended, for a period commencing upon prepayment and terminating at the close of
business  (Eastern Time) ten (10) business days  thereafter,  the Registrant has
the  option  to  repurchase  all (but not part) of the  1,530,000  shares of the
Registrant's  common stock  previously  issued to Bennett in connection with the
loan for a price per share equal to 90% of the average  closing bid price of the
Shares as  reported  by Nasdaq  for the twenty  (20)  consecutive  trading  days
immediately  preceding the date of prepayment,  but in no event less than $1.125
per share (the "Repurchase Option").

                  In consideration of the efforts of Meyer, Duffey & Associates,
a New York  consulting  and investment  firm, in  introducing  the Registrant to
potential  sources of  permanent  financing  from  commercial  bank  lenders for
Mountaineer  (though no transactions  have been consummated with respect to such
financing  and,  indeed,  no  substantive  negotiations  have  commenced),   the
Registrant may assign the Repurchase Option to Meyer, Duffey & Associates.

$11.1 Million Loan and $5,376,500 Revolving Line of Credit
----------------------------------------------------------

                  On December 26, 1996,  Mountaineer borrowed $11.1 million from
Madeleine  L.L.C.  of New York,  New York,  which had provided  Mountaineer a $5
million second mortgage loan on July 2, 1996, enabling Mountaineer to prepay the
Bennett loan. The total loan of $16.1 million, which is governed by the parties'
Amended and  Restated  Term Loan  Agreement  and Amended  and  Restated  General
Security Agreement, is evidenced by


<PAGE>



Mountaineer's  Promissory  Note and is secured by a first  priority  Credit Line
Deed of Trust with  respect  to  Mountaineer's  real  property  and a  perfected
security interest  evidenced by a UCC-1 Financing  Statement with respect to its
personal property.

                  The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and calls
for payments of interest  only with the principal due at the end of a three-year
term. The loan is guaranteed by the Registrant. As part of the transaction,  the
Registrant  has agreed to issue the lender,  over a period of  thirteen  months,
550,000  shares of the  Registrant's  common  stock and  warrants to purchase an
additional  1,632,140  shares for $1.06 per share. A further fee of $888,000 (8%
of the loan amount) is due on July 2, 1997,  but will be waived by the lender if
the loan has been  prepaid  prior to that  date.  In that  event,  however,  the
Registrant has agreed to pay a fee of approximately  $250,000 to Bridge Capital,
L.L.C., which arranged the transaction. If not prepaid by November 15, 1997, the
loan is also subject to annual fees of stock,  cash,  and warrants.  Annual fees
with respect to the $5 million loan made in July of 1996 have been deferred from
July 2 to November 15, 1997.

                  The shares and warrants, as well as the warrants issued to the
lender in  connection  with the $5 million  loan made in July,  are  entitled to
protection from dilution in certain circumstances.  The Registrant has agreed to
register the shares and  warrants  for public sale  pursuant to the terms of the
warrants and the Registration  Rights Agreement entered July 2, 1996.  Amendment
No. 1 to Registration Rights Agreement, which was entered in connection with the
transaction,  limits  the  lender's  right to  demand  registration  to once per
calendar year absent default by Mountaineer or the Registrant, prepayment of the
loan, or a change in control of the Registrant.

                  The  Registrant   will  use  the  net  proceeds  of  the  loan
(approximately  $2.4 million  after  prepayment  of the Bennett loan and certain
costs of the  transaction)  for  further  improvements  at  Mountaineer  and for
general  corporate  purposes.  Specific  projects  under  consideration  are the
construction  of a convention  facility,  expansion of the 101 room  Mountaineer
Lodge,  construction  of a  bowling  alley,  a second  addition  to the  popular
Speakeasy Gaming Saloon, the purchase of additional video slot machines, and the
construction of a production facility capable of broadcasting Mountaineer's live
racing product to other racetracks and off track wagering facilities, though all
such proposals are subject to, among other things,  approval by the Registrant's
board of directors and any applicable  governmental  approvals.  There can be no
assurances, however, that all or any of the projects under consideration will be
undertaken.

                  Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement,  the
lender also  provided  Mountaineer a $5,376,500  revolving  line of credit to be
used for capital improvements,  the acquisition of equipment and/or other gaming
businesses,  or the  acquisition of properties for use in the gaming and lottery
businesses consistent with the current business of Mountaineer.

                  Borrowing  under the line of credit  is  conditioned  upon (i)
compliance with all loan documents;  (ii)  affirmation that all prior warranties
and representations  remain true; (iii) submission of a notice of borrowing that
is for a sum not less than $500,000 and which contains a detailed description of
the use of proceeds;  and (iv)  maintenance by Mountaineer  for the six calendar
months preceding the date of the notice of borrowing (at Mountaineer's election,
exclusive of the months of December  and January) a monthly  average of $750,000
in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

                  Loans under the line of credit bear interest at 15% per annum.
In connection  with the line of credit,  Mountaineer has agreed to pay an annual
fee of $376,500,  the first of which is payable over 13 months.  The  Registrant
has agreed to guarantee any loans made under the line of credit.

                        AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE TERM LOAN

                  SECTION 2.01. Term Commitment. The Lender agrees, on the terms
and conditions here nafter set forth, to make the Term Loan to the Borrower in a
principal amount not to exceed the Term Commitment.  Any principal amount of the
Term Loan which is repaid or prepaid by the Borrower may not be reborrowed.

                  SECTION  2.02.  Making the Term  Loan.  The Term Loan shall be
made by the Lender to the Borrower in two loan tranches.  The first loan tranche
("Tranche A") in the original  principal  amount of  $5,000,000  was made by the
Lender to the Borrowe  pursuant to the Old  Agreement.  The second loan  tranche
("Tranche B") shall be in the maximum  principal amount of $11,100,000 and shall
be made on the Final Term  Funding  Date.  Prior to the making of the  Tranche B
portion of the Term Loan,  the  Borrower  shall  give the Lender  prior  written
notice in  substantially  the form of Exhibit D hereto (a "Notice of Borrowing")
no later  than  11:00  A.M.  (New  York  City  time) on the day of the  proposed
borrowing.  Such Notice of Borrowing  shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
principal amount of the proposed  borrowing and the proposed borrowing date: and
(i) the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith; and
(ii) the Lender shall be required to make the Tranche B portion of the Term Loan
requested  in such  Notice of  Borrowing  in  accordance  with the terms of this
Agreement. The Lender may act without liability upon the basis of written notice
believed  by the  Lender  in good  faith  to be from the  Borrower  (or from any
officer thereof  designated in writing to the Lender) and the Loan Parties shall
execute a  "Settlement  Statement" or "Use of Proceeds"  which shall  constitute
prima facie evidence as to the terms of the borrowing. On the Final Term Funding
Date and upon  fulfillment of the  applicable  conditions set forth in Article V
hereof,  the Lender will make  available the requested  Tranche B portion of the
Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount not to exceed  $11,100,000  by delivering
the proceeds  thereof,  in immediately  available funds (either in the form of a
certified bank check or

hereof.  The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender, on the Final Term
Funding  Date,  a Term Note  payable to the order of the Lender to evidence  the
Term  Loan in the  original  principal  amount of the Term  Commitment,  and the
Lender shall return the Original  Term Note in the amount of  $5,000,000  to the
Borrower.  The Term Loan amount may be  increased to provide for the funding and
payment of the Lender's fees and costs incurred in connection herewith, together
with interest due thereon, which are unpaid as of the Termination Date and which
accrue  thereafter.  The books and  records of the Lender  shall be  presumptive
evidence of the amount of Obligations  under the Term Loan outstanding from time
to time,  whether in excess of the  principal  amount of the Original Term Note,
the Term Note or otherwise, absent manifest error.
                  SECTION 2.03.         Term Loan Interest.

                           (a) Loan.  The Term Loan shall bear interest on the
principal amount thereof  rom time to time  outstanding from the Effective Date
until such principal amount becomes due at an interest rate per annum of twelve
percent (12%).

                           (b) Interest Payment. Interest on the Term Loan shall
be payable monthly, in arrears, on the last day of each month, commencing
December 31, 1996, and on the Termination Date (whether by demand, acceleration 
or otherwise). Interest at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on demand.

                  SECTION 2.04.         Repayment.  The Term Loan shall be
payable as to principal in full on the Maturity Date, together with all such
other amounts as may be necessary to repay in full all unpaid Term Obligations
to the Lender.

                  SECTION 2.05.         Termination or Reduction of Commitment.
The Term Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
Final Term Funding Date.

                  SECTION 2.06. Optional Prepayment of the Term Loan. Subject to
Sections  4.05 and 4.06 hereof,  the Borrower  may, on the same  Business  Day's
telephone  notice no later  than  11:00  A.M.  (New York  City  time)  (promptly
confirmed in writing) prepay without cost or penalty,  the outstanding amount of
the Term  Loan in whole or in part  with  accrued  interest  to the date of such
prepayment on the amount prepaid.


                                   ARTICLE III

                       AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LINE LOANS

                  SECTION 3.01. Line Commitment. The Lender agrees, on the terms
and conditions  hereinafter  set forth,  to make loans (the "Line Loans") to the
Borrower in an aggregate  principal  amount  outstanding  at any one time not to
exceed the Line  Commitment.  Any  principal  amount of the Line Loans  which is
repaid by the Borrower may be reborrowed  prior to the Termination Date provided
that no Event of Default or event that, with the giving of notice or the p ssing
of time or both,  would  constitute  an Event of  Default  has  occurred  and is
continuing.

                  SECTION 3.02.  Making the Line Loans.  The Borrower shall give
the Lender prior written notice in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto (a
"Notice of Line  Borrowing")  no later  than 11:00 A.M.  (New York City time) at
least two Business Days prior to each proposed Line Loan borrowing.  Such Notice
of Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify the principal amount of
the proposed borrowing, which

                                     - 10 -

shall be at least  $500,000.00,  and the proposed  borrowing  date:  and (i) the
Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith and (ii) the
Lender shall be required to make the Line Loan  requested in such Notice of Line
Borrowing in  accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement.  The Lender may act
without  liability  upon the basis of written  notice  believed by the Lender in
good faith to be from the Borrower (or from any officer  thereof  designated  in
writing  to the  Lender),  and the Loan  Parties  shall  execute  a  "Settlement
Statement" or "Use of Proceeds" which shall  constitute  prima facie evidence as
to the  terms  of such  borrowing.  On the  Final  Term  Funding  Date  and upon
fulfillment  of the  applicable  conditions  set forth in Article V hereof,  the
Lender will make available the requested Line Loans to the Borrower in an amount
not to exceed  the Line  Commitment  by  delivering  the  proceeds  thereof,  in
immediately  available  funds  (either in the form of a certified  bank check or
wire transfer) less the Line Fees and expenses then due and payable, if any, due
under Sections  4.01(a) and 9.04 hereof.  The Borrower shall execute and deliver
to the Lender,  on the Final Term  Funding  Date,  the Line Note  payable to the
order of the Lender to evidence  the Line Loans in the  principal  amount of the
Line  Commitment.  The outstanding  amount of the Line Loans may be increased to
provide for the funding and payment of the Lender's  fees and costs  incurred in
connection  with the Line Loans,  together with interest due thereon,  which are
unpaid as of the Termination  Date and which accrue  thereafter.  The records of
the Lender shall be presumptive  evidence of the amount of Obligations under the
Line  Loans  outstanding  from time to time  whether  in  excess of the  initial
principal amount of the Line Note or otherwise, absent manifest error.

                  SECTION 3.03.         Line Loan Interest.

                           (a) Loans.  Each Line Loan shall bear interest on the
principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding from the Final Term

annum of fifteen percent (15%).

                           (b) Interest Payment. Interest on the outstanding
principal amount of each Line Loan  shall be  payable  monthly,  in  arrears, on
the last day of each month, commencing December 31, 1996, and on the Termination
Date (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise).  Interest at the Post-
Default Rate shall be payable on demand.

                  SECTION 3.04.         Repayment.  The Line Loans shall be
payable as to principal in full on the Maturity Date, together with all such
other amounts as may be necessary to repay in full all unpaid Line
Obligations to the Lender.

                  SECTION 3.05.         Termination of Line Commitment. The Line
Commitment shall terminate in full at 5:00 P.M. (New York C ty time) on the

                                   ARTICLE IV

             FEES, PAYMENTS, DEFAULT INTEREST AND OTHER COMPENSATION

                  SECTION 4.01.         Fees and Other Consideration.  The fees 
and other consideration provided for herein are in addition to the fees and
other consideration due and payable on the Effective Date pursuant to the
Old Agreement.

                           (a) Loan Fees.  On July 2, 1997, the Borrower shall
pay to the Lender, in immediately available funds, a non-refundable fee of
$888,000; provided, however, that if there has occurred a Refinance

                                     - 11 -

<PAGE>



prior to July 2, 1997,  the foregoing fee shall be waived by the Lender.  On the
Final Term Funding Date,  the Borrower  shall pay to the Lender,  in immediately
available funds, a  non-refundable  fee of $376,350.00 (the "Initial Line Fee");
provided,  however,  that the  Borrower  may elect to pay such fee in 13 monthly
installments,  the first  installment  in the amount of $28,950.00 to be due and
payable on the Final Term Funding Date , and the remaining twelve  installments,
each in the amount of $28,950.00, to be due and payable in immediately available
funds on the first day of each calendar month  beginning on January 1, 1997, and
ending on December 1, 1997.  The  Borrower  shall also pay to the Lender on each
January 1 prior to the Termination Date, if any, in immediately available funds,
a non-refundable  fee (collectively  with the Initial Line Fee, the "Line Fees")
of $376,350.  The Borrower hereby  instructs the Lender,  commencing  January 1,
1998,  to  withhold  the Line  Fees  from the Line  Commitment  in  satisfaction
thereof,  and the  amount  so  withheld  shall be a Line  Loan for all  purposes
hereunder.

                           (b) Administration Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to
the Lender, on each anniversary of the Final Term Funding Date, in immediately
available funds, a non-refundable fee equal to 8% of the outstanding  principal
amount of the Term Loan as of the date of such anniversary; provided, however,
that on the first such anniversary, such fee shall equal 8% of the  outstanding
principal  balance of the Tranche A portion of the Term Loan only.

                           (c) Audit and Collateral Monitoring Fees.  The
Borrower shall pay to the Lender on each anniversary of the Effective Date, the
costs and expenses  incurred by the Lender in  connection  with  the  periodic
collateral appraisals  and audit reviews performed by or on behalf of the Lender
in such year; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has
occurred  and is  continuing,  the  Borrower's obligation  under this Subsection
3.01(c) shall be limited to $25,000 for each 365 (or 366, as applicable) day
period following the Effective Date.

                           (d) Common Stock.

                           (i)      The Guarantor shall, on each November 15,
commencing November  15,  1997,  until all of the  amounts  due to the  Lender
(including, without limitation, all principal, interest, fees  (whether due in
cash, in Common Stock, in Warrants or in kind),  expe ses and  indemnities) in
connection with the Term Loan (the "Term Loan Payments") have been satisfied  in
full, deliver to the Lender Stock  Certificates,  in such  denominations as the
Lender may request,  validly  issued to the Lender or its designee, representing
the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the product of
(A) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan on the day of such
delivery and (B) 5%, and (ii) the average daily closing price of the Common
Stock on each Business Day, as reported in a publication of generally recognized
standing in the  securities  industry,  for the 30 Business Days  immediately
preceding the third Business Day prior to such November 15; and

                           (ii)     On the Final Term Funding Date, deliver to
the Lender Stock Certificates, in such  denominations as the Lender may request,
validly issued to the  Lender or its  designee,  representing  550,000 shares of
Common Stock; provided,  however, that the Borrower may elect to issue and
deliver such shares in 13  installments,  the first such  installment  to be
delivered on the Final Term Funding Date in the amount of 42,316 shares of
Common Stock,  and the remaining 12 installments of 42,307 shares of Common

                                     - 12 -

<PAGE>



Stock to be  delivered  on the first day of each  calendar  month  beginning  on
January 1, 1997, and ending on December 1, 1997;

provided,  however,  that  such  shares  shall be  issued  to the  Lender or its
designee only upon the payment by the Lender to the Guarantor of an amount equal
to the  product of (i) the par value of the Common  Stock and (ii) the number of
shares of Common  Stock to be  issued;  provided,  further,  that the  number of
shares of Common Stock of the Guarantor to be received by the Lender pursuant to
Section  4.01(d)(i)(II)  after the Final Term Funding Date shall, subject to the
provisions  of Section 7 of the  Warrants  which  relate to  limitations  on the
Lender's right to anti-dilution  protection, be adjusted to the extent necessary
to insure that the Lender will  receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal
in percentage to the percentage of the Common Stock (on a  fully-diluted  basis)
that such  shares  represent  of the Common  Stock of the  Guarantor  issued and
outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis) on the Final Term Funding Date.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if (i) an Event of Default has
occurred,  (ii) the  Obligations  relating  to the Term Loan have been repaid in
full, (iii) any single Person, group of Affiliated Persons, or Affiliate thereof
controls, or acquires control of, the voting rights of 35% or more of the Common
Stock,  or (iv) the  Guarantor  merges or  becomes  consolidated  with any other
Person in a transaction in which the Guarantor is not the surviving  entity,  or
sells all or s bstantially  all of its assets,  then the Guarantor shall deliver
to the Lender all of the shares of Common  Stock due to the Lender  pursuant  to
paragraph 4.01(d)(ii) above upon demand by the Lender.

                  If the  issuance of shares to the Lender would result in a put
obligation (the "Put") pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Stock Transfer Agreement,
then the maximum number of shares that may be issued without  resulting in a Put
shall be issued to the Lender as hereinabove  set forth,  and the Borrower shall
issue to the Lender Warrants for the purchase of the remaining  shares due to be
issued  to the  Lender  hereunder  with an  Exercise  Price (as  defined  in the
Warrant)  equal to the par value of the Common  Stock.  Each  Stock  Certificate
issued hereunder shall bear the following legend:

         "The Shares represented by this certificate have not been registered or
qualified  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  or the "blue sky" laws
of any  state,  and may be  offered  or sold only if  registered  and  qualified
pursuant to the relevant  provisions of federal and state securities laws, or if
an exemption from such  registration  or  qualification  is applicable,  upon an
opinion of counsel to the issuer that such transfer will not violate any federal
or state securities laws applicable thereto."

                  The parties  hereto agree that,  for income tax purposes,  the
purchase  price to be  attributed  to the shares of Common  Stock  issued to the
Lender hereunder on the date hereof is $___________________.

                  (e) Warrants.  (i) The Guarantor shall, on each November 15,
commencing November 15, 1997, until all of the Term Loan Payments have been
satisfied in full, issue and deliver to the Lender or its designee validly
issued Warrants for the purpose of:

                         (I)  250,000 shares of Common Stock with an Expiration
Date (as defined in the Warrant) of five years from the date of issuance of such
Warrant, and an Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) equal to $1.06, and 

                         (II) shares of Common Stock, with an Expiration Date of
five years from the date of issuance, for an Exercise Price (as defined in the
Warrant) equal to the average daily closing price of the Common Stock on each
Business Day, as reported in a publication  of generally  recognized standing in
the securities industry, for the 30 Business Days immediately preceding the
third Business Day prior to the Final Term Funding Date, rounded to the nearest
penny, and for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (A)
the product of (x) a fraction,  the numerator of which is the Exercise Price and
the denominator of which is 1.06,  and (y)  550,000,  and (B) the  quotient of
(x) the  outstanding principal amount  of  the  Term  Loan  on the  day of  such
delivery  and  (y) $16,100,000;


                           (ii)  On the Final Term Funding Date, the Guarantor
shall issue and deliver to the Lender or its designee  validly issued  Warrants,
for the  purchase of 1,632,140  shares of Common Stock, with an  Expiration Date
(as defined in the Warrant) of five  years  from  the date of  issuance  of such
Warrant,  and an Exercise  Price (as defined in the Warrant) equal to $1.06;
provided,  however, that the  Borrower  may elect to issue and  deliver  such
Warrants  in 13 equal installments (provided that the first installment may be
increased such that the remaining twelve installments shall be for a non-
fractional number of Warrants), the first such  installment  to be  delivered on
the Final Term Funding Date and the remaining 12 installments to be delivered on
the first day of each calendar month beginning on January 1, 1997, and ending on
December 1, 1997.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if (i) an Event of Default has
occurred,  (ii) the  Obligations  relating  to the Term Loan have been repaid in
full, (iii) any single Person,  group of affiliated Persons or Affiliate thereof
controls,  or acquires control of the voting rights of 35% or more of the Common
Stock, or (iv) the Guarantor merges,  becomes consolidated with any other Person
in a transaction  in which the Guarantor is not the surviving  entity,  or sells
all or substantially all of its assets,  then the Guarantor shall deliver to the
Lender all of the Warrants due to the Lender  pursuant to paragraph  4.01(e)(ii)
above upon demand by the Lender.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  to the extent that there shall
occur at any time,  pri r to any such issuance of Warrants,  any event of a type
that would require adjustment of the number of shares issuable upon the exercise
of the Warrants or the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) of such shares
to the extent that such Warrants  already had been issued,  the number of shares
to be issued under such Warrant, and the Exercise Price thereof,  shall prior to
issuance,  be adjusted in the manner  provided in Section 7 of the Warrant.  Any
such  adjusted  number of shares  issuable  pursuant  to a Warrant  and any such
adjusted  Exercise  Price shall be  reflected  in the Warrant at the time of the
issuance thereof.

                  The parties  hereto agree that,  for income tax purposes,  the
purchase price to be attributed to the Warrants  issued to the Lender  hereunder
on the date hereof is $_____________.

                  SECTION  4.02.  Payments and  Computations.  The Borrower will
make each payment under the Loan Documents to wh ch it is a party not later than
2:30  P.M.  (New York City  time) on the day when  due,  in lawful  money of the
United States of America and in immediately  available  funds,  to the Lender at
the Payment Office,  or at such other place or to such account as the Lender may
designate by notice to the Borrower.  All payments shall be made by the Borrower
without defense,  set-off or counterclaim to the Lender. Subject to Section 8.01
below,  all  interest,  fees,  costs and  expenses  for which  the  Borrower  is
obligated under any Loan Document shall, if not timely paid by the Borrower,  be
added to the principal amount of the Loan and the Borrower hereby authorizes the
Lender to, and the Lender may, from time to time,  increase the principal amount
of the  Loan by any such  amounts  due  under  any Loan  Document  to which  the
Borrower is a party. The Borrower  confirms that any addition to principal which
the  Lender  so  makes  to the  Loan  as  herein  provided  will  be  made as an
accommodation  to the Borrower and solely at the Lender's  discretion.  Whenever
any payment to be made under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due on
a day  other  than a  Business  Day,  such  payment  shall  be made on the  next
succeeding  Business  Day and  such  extension  of time  shall  in such  case be
included in the  computation of interest and fees. All  computations of interest
under this  Agreement  and any other Loan Document and all fees shall be made by
the  Lender  on the  basis of a year of 360 days for the  actual  number of days
occurring in the period for which such interest is payable;  provided,  however,
that  with  respect  to any date on which  the  Borrower  makes a  repayment  or
prepayment  of  principal,  interest in respect of such  principal  repayment or
prepayment amount shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable
but  excluding  the day on which such  repayment or  prepayment  of principal is
made. In no event shall prior recourse to any  Collateral be a  prerequisite  to
the Lender's right to demand  payment of any  Obligation.  The Lender's  records
kept in the ordinary  course of its business shall be presumed to be correct and
shall  constitute  prima facie evidence of the amount owing or paid with respect
to any Obligation, absent manifest error.

                  SECTION 4.03.  Taxes. (a) If the Borrower shall be required by
any  applicable  law, rule or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or
in respect of any amount payable hereunder, then (i) the amount so payable shall
be  increased  to the  extent  necessary  so  that  after  making  all  required
deductions and  withholdings  (including  Taxes on amounts payable to the Lender
pursuant to this  sentence)  the Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such  deductions or  withholdings  been made, (ii)
the Borrower shall make such deductions or  withholdings  and (iii) the Borrower
shall pay to the relevant  taxation  authority the full amount required to be so
deducted  or  withheld.  Whenever  any Taxes are  payable  by the  Borrower,  as
promptly as possible  thereafter  the Borrower shall send the Lender an official
receipt  or other  documentation  satisfactory  to the  Lender  evidencing  such
payment to such authority.  If, due to the imposition of any Taxes, the Lender's

                  SECTION 9.12.  Reinstatement;  Certain Payments. If a claim is
ever made upon the Lender for  repayment  or  recovery  of any amount or amounts
received by the Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations  under
this  Agreements,  the  Lender  shall  give  prompt  notice of such claim to the
Borrower,  and if the Lender  repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i)
any j  dgment,  decree  or order  of any  court or  administrative  body  having
jurisdiction  over the Lender or any of its property,  or (ii) any settlement or
compromise of any such claim effected by the Lender with any such claimant, then
and in such  event  the  Borrower  and the  Guarantor  (A)  agree  that any such
judgment,  decree,  order,  settlement or  compromise  shall be binding upon the
Borrower and the Guarantor notwithstanding the cancellation of any Note or other
instrument  evidencing  the  Obligations  under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,  and
(B) shall be and remain liable to the Lender  hereunder for the amount so repaid
or  recovered  to the same  extent as if such amount had never  originally  been
received by the Lender.

                  SECTION  9.13.  Indemnification.  In  addition to all of their
other Obligations  under this Agreement,  the Borrower and the Guarantor jointly
and severally  agree to defend,  prote t, indemnify and hold harmless the Lender
and any assignee of the Lenders rights  hereunder,  and all of their  respective
officers, directors,  employees,  attorneys,  consultants and agents (including,
without  limitation,  those  retained in  connection  with the  satisfaction  or
attempted  satisfaction  of any of the conditions  set forth in this  Agreement)
(collectively  called the  "Indemnitees")  from and  against any and all losses,
damages,   liabilities,   obligations,   penalties,  fees,  costs  and  expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) incurred by
such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Effective Date, whether
direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to
any suit, investigation,  action or proceeding by any Person, whether threatened
or initiated,  asserting a claim for any legal or equitable  remedy  against any
Person  under any statute or  regulation,  including,  without  limitation,  any
Federal or state securities or labor laws, or under any Federal,  state or local
environmental,  health or safety laws,  regulations  or, common law  principles,
arising from or in connection with the past, present or future operations of the
Borrower or its predecessors in interest, arising from or in connection with any
of the following: (i) the negotiation,  preparation, execution or performance of
this Agreement or of any document  executed in connection with the  transactions
contemplated  by this  Agreement,  (ii) the Lender's  furnishing of funds to the
Borrower under this Agreement,  including, without limitation, the management of
the  Loans,  or  (iii)  any  matter  relating  to  the  financing   transactions
contemplated  by this Agreement or by any document  executed in connection  with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively,  the "Indemnified
Matters");  provided, however, that the Borrower and the Guarantor shall have no
obligation to any Indemnitee  hereunder for any Indemnified  Matter caused by or
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as
determined  by a final  judgment  of a court  of  competent  jurisdiction.  Such
indemnification  for all of the  foregoing  losses,  damages,  fees,  costs  and
expenses of the Lender shall be part of the  Obligations  in respect of the Term
Loan  (the  "Term  Obligations"),  secured  by the  Collateral  and added to the
principal amount of the Term Loan; provided,  further, however, that if the Term
Loan has been paid in full,  then all of the foregoing  losses,  damages,  fees,
costs and expenses of the Lender shall be part of the Line Obligations,  secured
by the  Collateral and added to the principal  amount of the Line Loans.  To the
extent that the

undertaking  to indemnify,  pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.13
may be  unenforceable  because it is violative of any law or public policy,  the
Borrower and the  Guarantor  shall  contribute  the maximum  portion which it is
permitted  to  pay  and  satisfy  under  applicable  law,  to  the  payment  and
satisfaction  of  all  Indemnified  Matters  incurred  by the  Indemnitees.  The
provisions of this Section 9.13 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

                                    GUARANTY

                  SECTION  10.01.  Guaranty.  the  Guarantor,   and  each  other
Guarantor that may become party hereto,  hereby (i) irrevocably,  absolutely and
unconditionally  guarantees  the  prompt  payment,  as and when due and  payab e
(whether by scheduled maturity,  required  prepayment,  acceleration,  demand or
otherwise),  of (A) all the  Obligations,  including,  without  limitation,  all
amounts now or  hereafter  owing in respect of the Loan  Documents,  whether for
principal,  interest,  fees,  expenses or otherwise,  and (B) all  indebtedness,
obligations and other liabilities,  direct or indirect,  absolute or contingent,
now existing or hereafter arising of the Borrower to the Lender and (ii) agrees,
to pay any and all expenses  (including  reasonable  counsel fees and  expenses)
incurred  by the Lender in  enforcing  its  rights  under  this  Agreement,  the
Guarantee and each other Loan Document.

                  SECTION 10.02.        Obligations Unconditional.

     (i) the uarantor  and each other  Guarantor  that may become party  hereto,
hereby  guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Documents,  regardless of any law, regulation or order now
or hereafter in effect in any  jurisdiction  affecting  any of such terms or the
rights  of the  Lender  with  respect  thereto.  the  Guarantor  and each  other
Guarantor  agrees that its guarantee  constitutes a guaranty of payment when due
and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by
the Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance
of any  deposit  account  or credit  on the books of the  Lender in favor of the
Borrower or for any other reason.  The liability of the Guarantor and each other
Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any
lack of validity or  enforceability  of any Loan  Document or any  agreement  or
instrument relating thereto; (ii) any extension or change in the time, manner or
place of  payment  of, or in any other  term in  respect  of,  all or any of the
Obligations  (including,  without limitation,  any extension for longer than the
original  period),  or any  other  amendment  or  waiver  of or  consent  to any
departure from any provision of any Loan Document; (iii) any exchange or release
of, or non-perfection of any lien on or security interest in, any Collateral, or
any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any other
guaranty,  for all or any of the  Obligations;  or (iv) any  other  circumstance
which might otherwise  constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the
Borrower or any other  Guarantor in respect of the  Obligations or the Guarantor
and each other Guarantor in respect hereof.

     (ii) This  Guaranty (i) is a  continuing  guaranty and shall remain in full
force and effect until such date on which all of the  Obligations  and all other
expenses  to be paid by the  Guarantor  or any other  Guarantor  pursuant he eto
shall  have  been  satisfied  in full  after  the  Commitment  shall  have  been
terminated,  (ii) shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated,  as the
case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the  Obligations  is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by the Lender upon the  insolvency,  bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise,  all as though such payment had not
been made, and (iii) shall be binding upon the Guarantor, any other Guarantor or
their respective heirs, executors, successors and assigns.

                  SECTION 10.03.  Waivers.  The Guarantor hereby waives,  to the
extent permitted by applicable law, (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of
acceptance and notice of the incurrence of any  Obligation,  (iii) no ice of any
action taken by the Lender or the Borrower or any other  agreement or instrument
relating thereto,  (iv) all other notices,  demands and protests,  and all other
formalities of every kind in connection  with the enforcement of the Obligations
or of the obligations of the Guarantor and each other Guarantor  hereunder,  the
omission of or delay in which,  but for the  provisions  of this Section  10.03,
might  constitute  grounds for relieving the Guarantor or any other Guarantor of
its  obligations  hereunder,  and (v) any  requirement  that the Lender protect,
secure,  perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject
thereto  or  exhaust  any right or take any  action  against  any  Person or any
Collateral.  All such waivers by the  Guarantor  shall be effective  only to the
extent permitted by applicable law.

                  SECTION 10.04.  Subrogation.  The Guarantor  hereby waives and
agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subro
ation hereunder, by any payment made by it hereunder or otherwise. If the amount
shall be paid to the  Guarantor  or such  other  Guarantor  on  account  of such
subrogation  rights  at any time  when  all of such  Obligations  and all  other
Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the Lender,  shall be segregated  from the other funds of the
Guarantor or such other Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid over to the Lender
to be applied in whole or in part by the Lender against the Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 10.05. No Waiver;  Remedies. No failure on the part of
the Lender to exercise,  and no delay in exercising,  any right  hereunder shall
operate as a waiver  thereof;  nor shall any single or partial  exercise  of any
right hereunder  preclude any other or further  exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right. The remedies herein provided re cumulative and not exclusive
of any remedy provided by law.

                  SECTION 10.06.        Taxes.

     (a) Each payment by the Guarantor  under this Loan Agreement  shall be made
without  withholding  for or on account of any present or future taxes,  levies,
imposts, deductions,  charges or withholdings,  and all liabilities with respect
thereto,  excluding, in the case of the Lender, taxes imposed on its income, and
franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction (or any political  subdivision
thereof) under the laws of which the Lender is organized  (all such  nonexcluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,  charges, withholdings and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes"); provided, however, that if such Other
Taxes are required by law to be withheld  from any such  payment,  the Guarantor
shall make such  withholding for the account of the Lender,  make timely payment
thereof to the  appropriate  governmental  authority,  and forthwith pay for the
account of the Lender such  additional  amount as may be necessary so that after
making all required deductions  (including  deductions  applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section  10.06.) the Lender  receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such  deductions been made. All such Other
Taxes shall be paid by the Guarantor prior to the date on which penalties attach
thereto or  interest  accrues  thereon;  provided,  however,  that,  if any such
penalties  or  interest  become due,  the  Guarantor  shall make prompt  payment
thereof to the appropriate governmental authority.

     (b) the  Guarantor  will  indemnify the Lender for the full amount of Other
Taxes  (including any Other Taxes on amounts  payable under this Section 10.06.)
paid  by the  Lender  and  any  liability  (including  penalties,  interest  and
expenses) arising  therefrom or with respect thereto,  whether or not such Other
Taxes were correctly or legally  asserted.  This  indemnification  shall be made
within 30 days from the date the Lender makes written demand therefor.

     (c)  Within  30 days  after the date of any  payment  of Other  Taxes,  the
Guarantor  will  furnish to the Lender the  original  or a  certified  copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof.  If no Other Taxes are payable in respect of
any payment  hereunder  or under any Note,  the  Guarantor  will  furnish to the
Lender a certificate  from each appropriate  taxing a thority,  or an opinion of
counsel  acceptable  to the Lender,  in either case stating that such payment is
exempt from or not subject to Other Taxes.

                  SECTION 10.07.  Stay of  Acceleration.  If acceleration of the
time for payment of any amount  payable by any of the Borrower in respect of the
Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency,  bankruptcy or  reorganization of any
of the Borrower,  all such amounts otherwise  subject to acceleration  under the
terms of thi Agreement shall  nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor  forthwith
on demand by the Lender.

                  SECTION 10.08. Continued Effectiveness of Guaranty. The within
Guarantee is in addition to the Guaranty  contained  in the Old  Agreement  (the
"Old Guaranty"),  and, notwithstanding that the within Guaranty is a Guaranty of
all of the Obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, the Obligations
as defined in the Old  Agreement),  the Guarantor  hereby  confirms that the Old
Guaranty  is,  and shall  continue  to be, in full  force and  effect and hereby
ratifies and confirms the Old Guaranty in all respects.

                  (i) This Agreement  creates a valid security interest in favor
of the Lender in the  Collateral as security for the  Obligations.  The Lender's
having possession of all instruments and cash constituting  Collateral from time
to time and the filing of the financing statements required to be filed pursuant
to the Loan Agreement results in the perfection of such security interest.  Such
security  interest is, or in t e case of Collateral in which the Grantor obtains
rights after the date  hereof,  will be, a perfected,  first  priority  security
interest,  subject  only  to  the  security  interests  and  other  encumbrances
described in Schedule V hereto.  Such filings and all other action  necessary or
desirable to perfect and protect such  security  interest  have been duly taken,
except for the Lender's having  possession of instruments and cash  constituting
Collateral after the date hereof.

                  SECTION 5. C venants as to the  Collateral.  So long as any of
the  Obligations  (as such term is defined in clause (i) of Section  1.01 of the
Loan  Agreement)  shall remain  outstanding,  unless the Lender shall  otherwise
consent in writing:

                  (a) Further  Assurances.  The Grantor will at its expense,  at
any  time and from  time to time,  promptly  execute  and  deliver  all  further
instruments  and documents and take all further  action that may be necessary or
desirable or that the Lender may request in order (i) to perfect and protect the
security interest  purported to be created hereby,  (ii) to enable the Lender to
exercise  and  enforce  its  rights  and  remedies  hereunder  in respect of the
Collateral  or  (iii)  to  otherwise  effect  the  purposes  of this  Agreement,
including,  without  limitation:  (A) marking  conspicuously  each chattel paper
included in the Receivables and each Related Contract and, at the request of the
Lender,  each of its records pertaining to the Collateral with a legend, in form
and substance  satisfactory  to the Lender,  indicating that such chattel paper,
Related  Contract or  Collateral  is subject to the  security  interest  created
hereby,  (B) if any Receivable  shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other
instrument or chattel  paper,  delivering  and pledging to the Lender  hereunder
such note, instrument or chattel paper duly indorsed and accompanied by executed
instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to
the Lender, (C) executing and filing such financing or continuation  statements,
or amendments  thereto,  as may be necessary or desirable or that the Lender may
request in order to perfect and preserve the security  interest  purported to be
created  hereby,  (D) furnishing to the Lender from time to time  statements and
schedules  further  identifying  and  describing  the  Collateral and such other
reports in connection with the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably  request,
all in reasonable  detail, and (E) upon the acquisition after the date hereof by
the Grantor of any  Equipment  covered by a  certificate  of title or ownership,
cause the Lender to be listed as the lienholder (or, in the event such Equipment
is subject to a purchase  money  security  interest (a "Permitted  Lien"),  as a
junior  lienholder)  on such  certificate  of title  and  within  60 days of the
acquisition thereof and deliver evidence of the same to the Lender..

                  (b) Location of Equipment and Inventory. The Grantor will keep
the Equipment and Inventory (other than Inventory and used Equipment sold in the
ordinary  course of business) at the location[s]  specified  therefor in Section
4(d) hereof.

                  (c)  Condition  of  Equipment.  The  Grantor  will  cause  the
Equipment  to be  maintained  and  preserved in the same  condition,  repair and
working  order  as when  acquired,  ordinary  wear  and  tear  excepted,  and in
accordance with any manufacturer's manual, and will forthwith, or in the case of
any  loss or  damage  to any  Equipment  as  quickly  as  racticable  after  the
occurrence thereof, make

connection  therewith  which are  necessary  or desirable or that the Lender may
request to such end. The Grantor will promptly furnish to the Lender a statement
respecting any loss or damage in excess of $10,000 to any Equipment.

                  (d) Taxes. The Grantor will pay promptly when due all property
and other taxes,  assessments and  governmental  charges or levies imposed upon,
and all claims (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, the
Equipment  and  Inventory,  except to the extent the  validity  thereof is being
contested in good faith by proper  proceedings  which stay the imposition of any
penalty, fine or lien resulting from the non-payment thereof and with respect to
which adequate reserves have been set aside for the payment thereof.

                  (e) Insurance.

    (i) The Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain insurance with respect to
the Equipment and  Inventory in such amounts,  against such risks,  in such form
and with such  insurers,  as shall be  satisfactory  to the Lender  from time to
time.  Each policy for  liability  insurance  shall provide for all losses to be
paid on behalf of the Lender and the Grantor as their  respective  interests may
appear,  and each policy for property  damage  insurance  shall  provide for all
losses to be adjusted with, and pai directly to, the Lender; provided,  however,
that with respect to Equipment  subject to a Permitted Lien, the Lender's rights
may be subject to the rights of the  holder of such  Permitted  Lien.  Except as
required by any agreement which creates a Permitted Lien, each such policy shall
in addition  (A) name the Grantor and the Lender as insured  parties  thereunder
(without any  representation  or warranty by or  obligation  upon the Lender) as
their  interests  may appear,  (B) contain the agreement by the insurer that any
loss  thereunder  shall be  payable to the Lender  notwithstanding  any  action,
inaction or breach of  representation  or warranty by the  Grantor,  (C) provide
that there  shall be no  recourse  against the Lender for payment of premiums or
other amounts with respect  thereto and (D) provide that at least 30 days' prior
written notice of  cancellation  or of lapse shall be given to the Lender by the
insurer. The Grantor will, if so requested by the Lender,  deliver to the Lender
original or duplicate policies of such insurance and, as often as the Lender may
reasonably  request,  a report of a reputable  insurance  broker with respect to
such  insurance.  The Grantor  will also,  at the  request of the  Lender,  duly
execute and deliver  instruments  of assignment of such  insurance  policies and
cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.

     (ii) Reimbursement under any liability insurance  maintained by the Grantor
pursuant to this  Section 5(e) may be paid dir ctly to the Person who shall have
incurred liability covered by such insurance.  In the case of any loss involving
damage to Equipment or  Inventory  as to which  paragraph  (iii) of this Section
5(e) is not applicable,  the Grantor will make or cause to be made the necessary
repairs to or replacements  of such Equipment or Inventory,  and any proceeds of
insurance  maintained by the Grantor pursuant to this Section 5(e) shall be paid
to the Grantor as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.

     (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
or the actual or  constructive  total loss (in excess of $10,000 per occurrence)
of any  Equipment  or  Inventory,  all  insurance  payments  in  respect of such
Equipment or  Inventory  shall be paid to the Lender and applied as specified in
Section 7(b) hereof.

intention  to do so,  to  notify  the  account  debtors  or  obligors  under any
Receivables  of the  assignment of such  Receivables to the Lender and to direct
such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become
due to the Grantor thereunder directly to the Lender and, upon such notification
and at the expense of the Grantor and to the extent permitted by law, to enforce
collection  of any such  Receivables  and to adjust,  settle or  compromise  the
amount or payment  thereof,  in the same  manner  and to the same  extent as the
Grantor  might have done.  After  receipt by the  Grantor of the notice from the
Lender referred to in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (A) all

of the  Receivables  shall be  received  in trust for the  benefit of the Lender
hereunder,  shall be  segregated  from other  funds of the  Grantor and shall be
forthwith  paid over to the  Lender in the same  form as so  received  (with any
necessary  indorsement) to be held as cash collateral and either (1) released to
the Grantor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
or (2) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as
specified in Section 7(b) hereof, and (B) the Grantor will not adjust, settle or
compromise  the amount or payment of any  Receivable or release wholly or partly
any account debtor or obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon.

waive any such breach or default or affirmatively consent to the cure thereof or
exercise any of its remedies in respect thereof,  and (C) the Grantor will, upon
written  instructions  from the Lender and at the Grantor's  expense,  take such
action as the Lender may deem necessary or advisable in respect thereof.

     (iv) The Grantor  will,  at its expense,  promptly  deliver to the Lender a
copy of each  notice or other  communication  received  by it by which any other
party to any Related

preservation,  use or operation  of, or the sale of,  collection  from, or other
realization upon, any Collateral,  (C) the exercise or enforcement of any of the
rights of the Lender  hereunder  or (D) the failure of the Grantor to perform or
observe any of the provisions hereof;

     (ii)  Second,  at  the  option  of the  Lender,  to the  payment  or  other
satisfaction of any liens and other encumbrances upon any of the Collateral;

collection  or  realization  are  insufficient  to pay all  amounts to which the
Lender is legally  entitled,  the  Grantor  shall be liable for the  deficiency,
together  with  interest  thereon at the highest rate  specified in any Note for
interest  on overdue  principal  thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by

     (a) Duty to Pay.  Until  payment in full of the clause (i)  Obligations  as
such item is defined at Section 1.01 of the  Restated  Loan  Agreement,  Grantor
will,  except  as  otherwise  provided  in  Article  VIII of the  Restated  Loan

proper  receipts  for all  taxes,  general  and  special,  water and sewer  rent
charges,  excise levies, transit taxes, levies and assessments of every kind and
all charges for utilities and utility  services,  and which may have been or may
hereafter be charged,  assessed,  levied,  confirmed,  imposed  upon, or grow or
become due and payable out of, or in respect to, or against,  the  Property,  or
any part thereof, or any appurtenances thereto (collectively,  the Impositions),
by any lawful  authority or public utility,  or which may become a lien thereon,
unless the same shall have been fully paid to Lender as provided in subparagraph
3(b) hereof,  (ii) pay and  discharge  all  mechanics,  liens which may be filed
against said premises,  (iii) pay and discharge any documentary,  stamp or other
tax, including interest and penalties thereon, if any, now or hereafter becoming
payable  hereon,  (iv)  provide,  renew and keep alive by paying  the  necessary
premiums and charges  thereon such  policies of hazard and  liability  insurance
upon the  property  and upon the  buildings  and  improvements  now or hereafter
erected upon the Property as are required by the Lender.

     (b) Escrow by Lender.  Upon the  written  request  of  Trustees  or Lender,
Grantor  will pay or  cause to be paid to  Lender  contemporaneously  with  each
monthly payment of interest,  principal or principal and interest a sum equal to
one-twelfth  (1/12th)  of the real  estate  taxes  and  premiums  for  insurance
required by  subparagraph  3(a) hereof so as to enable Lender to pay the same at
least  thirty (30) days before they become due.  Amounts so paid shall be deemed
not to be trust funds but may at the option of Lender be commingled with general
funds of Lender. No interest shall be paid oft such amounts. If, pursuant to any
provision of this Trust Deed,  the whole amount of the principal  debt remaining
or any installment of interest,  principal or principal and interest becomes due
and payable prior to its originally  scheduled  maturity,  Lender shall have the
right,  at its  election,  to a apply  any  amounts  paid to Lender  under  this
subparagraph  3(b), with accrued interest,  thereon,  against all or any part of
the indebtedness  secured by this Trust Deed, any interest thereon or in payment
of the premiums or payments for which the amounts were paid.  If the real estate
taxes and insurance  premiums required to be escrowed pursuant to this paragraph
shall exceed the  estimate  therefor and the amounts paid into escrow under this
subparagraph  3(b),  Grantor shall on demand forthwith make good the deficiency.
Grantor will furnish to Lender tax and  insurance  bills in  sufficient  time to
enable  Lender to pay such taxes and  premiums  before  interest  and  penalties
accrue thereon.

     (c) Proof of Payment.  Unless the same shall have been fully paid to Lender
as provided in subparagraph  3(b) hereof,  Grantor,  upon the written request of
Lender,  will furnish or will cause to be furnished to Lender within thirty (30)
days  after the date when any  Impositions  would  become  delinquent,  official
receipts of the  appropriate  taxing  authority or other  authority to which the
charge  is  payable,  or  other  evidences  reasonably  satisfactory  to  Lender
evidencing the payment thereof.

     (d)  Evidence  of  Payment.  The  certificate,  or bill of the  appropriate
official  designated  by law to make or issue the same or to receive  payment of
any Imposition, of nonpayment

                                      - 6 -

of such Imposition shall be prima facie evidence that such Imposition is due and
unpaid at the time of the  making or  issuance  of such  certificate,  advice or
bill.

              5.  Risk  of  Loss;  Insurance.  Risk  of loss  or,  damage  to or
destruction  of the Property is and shall remain upon Grantor.  If Grantor fails
to effect and keep in force  insurance  covering the Property as required by the
Lender,  or fails to pay the premiums thereon when due,  Trustees or Lender upon
receipt of notice of default  may do so for the  account  of  Grantor.  Upon the
existence of an Event of Default beyond any  applicable  cure and grace periods,
Grantor  hereby  assigns  and sets over to Lender  all  monies  which may become
payable on account of all  insurance  covering  the Property  including  without
limitation any return of unearned premiums which may be due upon cancellation of
any such  insurance,  and  directs the  insurers  to pay  directly to Lender any
amount so due which  shall be  applied  to the  principal  balance  of the Note,
provided the Note is current and no Event of Default  exists subject only to the
rights of the  holder(s) of the note secured by the  Bennett-  Management  Trust
Deed.  Trustees  on  behalf of  Lender  are  hereby  irrevocably  appointed  the
attorneys-in-fact  of Grantor to endorse any draft or check which may be payable
to Grantor in order to collect the  proceeds of such  insurance or any return of
unearned  premiums  which Lender is entitled to collect under this  paragraph 4.
Lender shall apply such proceeds of all casualty  insurance in  accordance  with
the  provisions  of paragraph  16 of this Deed of Trust.  Lender may deduct from
such proceeds any expense  incurred by Lender in collecting the same  (including
reasonable counsel fees).

              6. Property Maintenance, Alterations,  Improvements. Grantor shall
maintain the Property and all buildings and improvements subject to this Deed of
Trust in good working order and condition,  ordinary wear and tear excepted, and
shall not  commit or suffer  waste.  In no event  shall  Grantor  undertake  any
alteration or addition to the Property  which reduces the economic  value of the
Property.  Lender  shall  have  the  right to enter  upon  the  Property  at any
reasonable hour and upon 24-hour notice for the purpose of inspecting the order,
condition and repair of the buildings and Improvements erected thereon.

this Trust Deed is located in Hancock  County,  West Virginia more  particularly
described  on  Exhibit A to this Deed of Trust or in  another  county in which a
priority security interest in such personal property has been granted to Lender.
Except as otherwise  permitted under the Restated Loan  Agreement,  Grantor will
not move  (except to any county in which Lender has a prior  perfected  security
interest in such items of personal property),  remove, transfer, sell, convey or
otherwise assign any of the items of personal  property included in the Property
until the Debt secured hereby is paid in full.

     8.  Compliance  with Laws.  Grantor will promptly  comply,  in all material
respects, with all present and future laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of
any governmental authority having an effect on Grantor or the Property.

     9. Further  Assurances.  Grantor will, from time to time, make, do, execute
and  acknowledge,  as may be  reasonably  necessary  such further  acts,  deeds,
conveyances,  mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, continuation
statements  and other  assurances  in law as may be required  for the purpose of
effectuating the intent hereof.

or permit the creation of, a lien on the Property or any part thereof, or on the
revenues,  rents, issues, income and profits arising therefrom.  Grantor will do
everything  necessary  so that  the  lien  and  priority  hereof  shall be fully
preserved,  at the  cost of  Grantor,  without  expense  to  Lender,  except  as
otherwise provided in the Restated Loan Agreement.

               Grantor will not,  without the written consent of Lender,  create
or suffer to be created any security interest under the Code,  together with any
amendments or supplements  thereto,  or other encumbrances in favor of any party
other  than  Lender,  or create or suffer any  reservation  of title by any such
other  party,  with  respect to any  fixtures,  nor shall any such  fixtures  or

ownership  or any  beneficial  interest  in any of such  property is held by any
person or entity  other than  Grantor  (or Lender as provided  herein)except  as
permitted in the Restated  Loan  Agreement.  Except as permitted in the Restated
Loan Agreement,  all such property shall be purchased for cash or in such manner

and covenants  that it is the lawful owner of the Property that Grantor has good
right and lawful authority to convey and encumber the same, that the Property is
free and clear from all liens and encumbrances  except for liens in favor of the
Lender and liens permitted  under the Restated Loan Agreement,  and that it will
warrant and defend such title to the Property  against the claims of all persons
whomsoever.  Except as  disclosed in the  Restated  Loan  Agreement or otherwise
permitted under the Restated Loan Agreement,  Grantor shall not create, ' incur,

Trust,  either in lien or in  distribution  out of the  proceeds of any judicial

                               (5)   Additional   rights   and   remedies;   not
                      exclusive. In addition to all the foregoing,  Trustees and
                      Lender  shall have such other  rights as the law allows in
                      the pursuit of the foregoing  specified remedies and shall
                      have  such  other  remedies  as the  law  allows  for  the
                      realization  of security  interests  herein  granted.  The
                      rights and remedies herein provided to Trustees and Lender
                      shall  be  cumulative  and  not  alternative,  and are not
                      exclusive of any other  remedies  that may be available to
                      the  Trustees  and Lender,  whether at law, in equity,  or
                      otherwise.

     (b)  Provisions  Regarding  Sale.  (i)  Grantor  agrees  that any sale made
hereunder  may be  adjourned  from time to time  without  notice other than oral
proclamation  of such  adjournment at the time and place of sale, or at the time
and place of any adjourned  sale,  and (ii) Grantor agrees that any sale of real
property or interest in real property hereunder shall be made in

                                     - 10 -

<PAGE>



accordance  with the laws of the state of West Virginia  relating to sales under
deeds of trust, with the exceptions herein stated and with the further exception
that the Grantor covenants and agrees.

     (c)  Rights in  Pursuit  of  Remedies.  In the event sums are due and owing
under the Note or the Loan  Documents as  aforesaid,  Lender in pursuance of the
foregoing remedies,  or in addition thereto,  (i) shall be entitled to resort to
its several  securities for the payment of the sums secured hereby in such order
and manner as Lender may think fit without impairing Lender's lien in, or rights
to, any of such  securities  and without  affecting the liability of any person,
firm or corporation for the sums secured  hereby,  except to the extent that the
Debt shall  have been  reduced by the  actual  monetary  consideration,  if any,
received by Lender from the  proceeds  of such  security;  (ii) may, in Lender's
sole  discretion,  release for such  consideration,  or none,  as the Lender may
require,  any  portion  of the  Property  without,  as to the  remainder  of the
security, in otherwise impairing or affecting the lien of this Deed of Trust, or
the priority  thereof,  or improving the position of any subordinate  lienholder
with respect thereto, except to the extent that the Debt shall have been reduced
by the  actual  monetary  consideration,  if any,  received  by Lender  for such
release;  and/or (iii) may accept the assignment or pledge of any other property
in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to
any other lienor.

     (d) Continued Lien of Deed of Trust. No entry of any judgment by Lender and
no levy of an execution  under any judgment  upon the Property or upon any other
property of Grantor  shall  affect in any manner or to any  extent,  the lien of
this Deed of Trust upon the Property or any part thereof, or any liens,  rights,
powers or  remedies of Lender  hereunder,  but such  liens,  rights,  powers and
remedies of Lender shall continue unimpaired as before.

     (e)  Subordination  of  Tenants'  Rights  Under  Leases.  In the event that
Trustees  shall  have  the  right  to  foreclose  this  Deed of  Trust,  Grantor
authorizes Trustees at their option to foreclose this Deed of Trust,  subject to
the rights of any tenants of the  Property if Trustees or Lender elect that this
Deed of Trust shall be subordinate to rights of tenants, and the failure to make
any such tenants  parties  defendant to any such  foreclosure  proceeding and to
foreclose  their  rights  will not be  asserted  by  Grantor as a defense to any
proceeding  instituted  by  Trustees  or  Lender  to  collect  the  Debt  or any
deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Property.

     (f)  Discontinuance  of  Proceedings;  Position  of  Parties  Restored . If
Trustees or Lender  shall have  proceeded  to enforce any right or remedy  under
this Deed of Trust by foreclosure, or otherwise, any such proceedings shall have
been  discontinued or abandoned for any reason,  then in every such case Grantor
and Trustees or Lender,  shall be restored to their former  positions and rights
hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue as if no
such proceeding had occurred or had been taken.

     15. Application of Proceeds of Foreclosure.  Trustees or Lender shall apply
the proceeds of any  foreclosure  sale of or other  disposition  or  realization
upon, or rents or profits from, the Property:

                      (a)  First,  to  the  payment  or   reimbursement  of  all
              reasonable  advances,  expenses and  disbursements of Trustees and
              Lender  (including,  without  limitation,  the reasonable fees and
              costs of their counsel and agents and not less than $500 as

                                     - 11 -

<PAGE>



              commission to Trustees for acting as Trustees  hereunder) incurred
              in connection with the  administration  and enforcement of, or the
              preservation  of any  rights  under,  this Deed of Trust or in the
              collection  of the  obligations  of Grantor under the Note and the
              Loan Documents;

                    (b)  Second,  in  satisfaction  of  the  Debt,  whether  for
               principal,  interest  or  expenses  in such order as  Trustees or
               Lender shall designate; and

                    (c)  Third,  the  balance,  if  any,  to be  distributed  as
               required by law.

              If the  proceeds  from any such  sale of or other  disposition  or
realization  upon the Property  are  insufficient  to pay the Debt,  the Grantor
shall remain liable for such deficiency.

              16.     Trustees.

     (a) Removal. It is hereby expressly  covenanted and agreed that Lender may,
at any time  and from  time to time  hereafter,  upon  notice  to  Trustees  and
Grantor,  but without any other notice,  appoint and substitute another Trustee,
corporation or person,  in place of either or both of the Trustees  herein named
to execute  the trust  herein  created.  Upon such  appointment,  either with or
without a  conveyance  to said  substituted  Trustee or Trustees by the Trustees
herein  named,  or by any other  substituted  Trustee  in case the said right of
appointment is exercised more than once, the new and substituted Trustee in each
instance shall be vested with all the rights, titles, interests,  powers, duties
and trusts in the premises  which are vested in and  conferred  upon the Trustee
herein named;  and such new and  substituted  Trustee  shall be  considered  the
successor and assign of the Trustee in his place and stead. Each appointment and
substitution  shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing,  which instrument,
executed and  acknowledged  by Lender and recorded in the office of the Clerk of
the County  Commission of the County wherein said property is situate,  shall be
conclusive  proof of the proper  substitution  and appointment of such successor
Trustee or Trustees,  and notice of such proper  substitution and appointment to
all  parties  in  interest.  The  Trustees,  or either  of them or the  survivor
thereof,  may act in the  execution of this trust and in the event either of the
Trustees  shall act alone,  the  authority  and power of the  Trustees so acting
shall be as full and  complete  as if the  powers and  authority  granted to the
Trustees  herein jointly had been granted to such Trustee alone.  Either or both
of the  Trustees  are  hereby  authorized  to act by  agent or  attorney  in the
execution of this trust.

     (b) Fees. In the event foreclosure  proceedings  instituted under the terms
and  provisions  of this  Trust Deed are not  completed  through no fault of the
Trustees,  Trustees  shall be  entitled  to receive  and  forthwith  be paid the
necessary costs and expenses  incurred by them,  together with a fee of not less
than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00).

     (c) Action.  The Trustees herein may act by agent or attorney  appointed by
them in the  execution  of this  Deed of Trust  and the  Trustees  shall  not be
required to be present in person.

              17.      Casualty Loss.


                                     - 12 -

<PAGE>



     (a)  Notice  to  Lender.  In  case  of  casualty  resulting  in  damage  or
destruction to the Property,  Grantor shall promptly give written notice thereof
to Trustees and Lender.

     (b)  Restoration  of  Property.  Unless  Lender  elects to apply  insurance
proceeds to reduce the Debt,  then,  regardless of the amount of any such damage
or destruction,  Grantor shall at its sole cost and expense,  and whether or not
the insurance  proceeds,  if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose,  restore,
repair,  replace,  rebuild or alter the same as nearly as possible to its value,
condition and character  immediately prior to such damage or destruction or with
such changes or alterations  as may be made at Grantor's  election in conformity
with and subject to the  conditions  of  paragraph 8 hereof.  Such  restoration,
repairs, replacements,  rebuilding or alteration shall be commenced promptly and
prosecuted with reasonable diligence. If (i) estimates received, and/or made, by
Lender disclose that the cost or restoration would be in excess of the amount of
the  insurance  proceeds  available  therefor,  or (ii)  during  the  period  of
restoration  by  Grantor  the  amount  of the  insurance  proceeds  shall not be
sufficient to complete such restoration,  then in either of such events, Grantor
shall deposit with Lender the amount  required to complete such  restoration  or
such other security as shall be satisfactory to Lender.

     (c)  Application of Proceeds.  All proceeds of and payments under insurance
policies with respect to any casualty  event shall be paid to Lender and applied
by Lender  first to payment  of the actual  costs,  fees and  expenses,  if any,
incurred by Lender in connection with adjustment of the loss and settlement with
the insurance company. The remainder of such insurance proceeds shall be applied
by Lender,  at the sole  discretion  of Lender,  either (i) in  reduction of the
outstanding Debt, as Lender may elect, or (ii) to the payment of the cost of the
aforesaid  restoration,   repairs,   replacement,   rebuilding  or  alterations,
including  the cost of temporary  repairs and the cost of protection of property
pending  the  completion  of  permanent   restoration,   repairs,   replacement,
rebuilding  or  alterations  (all of  which  temporary  and  permanent  repairs,
restoration, replacement, rebuilding, alterations and protection of property are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "restoration").

     (d) Advancement of Proceeds.  If under the provisions of this paragraph 16,
insurance  proceeds are to be applied to the cost of  restoration,  Lender shall
hold such insurance  proceeds,  together with any amounts  deposited with Lender
pursuant to subparagraph  16(b) hereof,  and advance the same for application to
the cost of the  restoration  from time to time as the  restoration  progresses.
Such funds  will be  advanced  upon the  written  request  of  Grantor  and upon
Grantor's compliance with such reasonable  requirements therefor as Lender shall
impose.  Upon  completion of all of the  restoration  in a good and  workmanlike
manner  and  substantially  in  accordance  with any  plans  and  specifications
therefor which Lender may have required,  and upon receipt by Lender of evidence
satisfactory  to Lender that the  restoration  has been  completed  and that the
Property is not and will not become subject to any  mechanic's or  materialmen's
liens on account of the  restoration  or any part  thereof,  any  balance of the
insurance  proceeds or sums deposited with Lender pursuant to subparagraph 16(b)
hereof and not applied to the cost of restoration shall be applied to reduce the
Debt, and any balance  remaining  after repayment of the Debt shall be paid over
to Grantor.

     (e) Effect of Default.  Notwithstanding  any provision of this paragraph 16
to the contrary, if at any time during any restoration of the Property, an Event
of Default in the payment

                                     - 13 -

<PAGE>



on the Note shall exist,  Lender shall have no  obligation  to continue to apply
insurance  money to restoration  and may apply such insurance money to reduction
of the Debt.

     (f) No Postponement, Abatement of Scheduled Installments. In no event shall
the  application  to the  obligation  of  Grantor,  whether  or not  then due or
payable, of any insurance proceeds postpone, abate or reduce any of the periodic
installments  of principal and interest  thereafter to become due under the Debt
until the Debt is completely satisfied and paid in full. If Lender shall acquire
title to the  Property  either by virtue of a deed in lieu of  foreclosure  or a
judicial  sale thereof  pursuant to  proceedings  under the Note or this Deed of
Trust,  then all of Grantor's  estate,  right,  title and interest in and to all
such policies,  including  unearned  premiums thereon and the proceeds  thereof,
shall vest in Lender.

              18.     Condemnation.

     (a) Notice,  Right to  Participate.  Grantor shall give Trustees and Lender
immediate  notice  of any  actual or  threatened  commencement  of  condemnation
proceedings  or the exercise of the right of eminent  domain.  In the event that
the Property, or any part thereof, shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or
by exercise of any right of eminent  domain  (hereinafter  called  collectively,
"condemnation proceedings"),  Lender may on behalf of Grantor participate in any
such  condemnation  proceedings and may on behalf of and with the concurrence of
Grantor  adjust,  contest,  accept,  reject or compromise any proposed award and
collect  and,  without  the  concurrence  of Grantor,  may receive the  proceeds
thereof  and  endorse  drafts,  and  Lender  is  hereby  irrevocably   appointed
attorney-in-fact of Grantor for such purposes,  such power being coupled with an
interest.  The decision of Lender with the concurrence of Grantor with regard to
the  adjustment,  contest,  acceptance,  rejection or compromise of any proposed
award issued in connection with any  condemnation  proceedings  shall be binding
upon Grantor.  The award that may be made in any such proceeding or the proceeds
thereof shall be deposited  with Lender and  distributed in the manner set forth
in this paragraph 18. The parties agree to execute any and all further documents
that may be required in order to  facilitate  collection  of any award or awards
and the making of any such deposits with Lender.

     (b) Condemnation of All or Material Part of Property. If at any time during
the term of this  Deed of Trust  title to the  whole or a  material  part of the
Property  shall be taken in  condemnation  proceedings  or by agreement  between
Grantor and Lender and those  authorized  to exercise  such right,  Lender shall
apply such award or proceeds which it receives  pursuant to  subparagraph  17(a)
hereof to payment of the Debt and any balance  then  remaining  shall be paid to
Grantor.  In the event  that the  amount of the award or  proceeds  received  by
Lender shall not be sufficient to pay the Debt,  Grantor shall,  within ten (10)
days after the application of the award or proceeds as aforesaid pay or cause to
be paid such deficiency to Lender.  For the purposes of this subparagraph  17(b)
"a  material  part"  shall be deemed to have been  taken if the  portion  of the
Property  taken shall  preclude,  in Lender's sole judgment the effective use of
the Property as an economically viable unit for the permitted purposes for which
Grantor utilizes such Property.

     (c)  Condemnation  of Less than Material  Part of Property.  If at any time
during the term of this Deed of Trust  title to a portion of the  Property  that
does  not  constitute  "a  material  part"  of the  Property  shall  be taken as
aforesaid, all of the award or proceeds collected by

                                     - 14 -

<PAGE>



Lender  pursuant  to  subparagraph  17(a)  hereof,  shall,  at the option of the
Lender, (i) be applied to reduce the Debt or (ii) be held by Lender, and applied
and  paid  over  toward  the  costs  of  demolition,   repair  and  restoration,
substantially  in the same  manner and subject to the same  conditions  as those
provided in paragraph 16 hereof with respect to insurance and other monies.  Any
balance  remaining  in the  hands  of  Lender  after  payment  of such  costs of
demolition,  repair and  restoration  shall be retained by Lender and applied in
reduction of the Debt. In the event that the costs of such  demolition,  repairs
and restoration  shall exceed the new amount collected by Lender,  Grantor shall
pay the deficiency.

     (d) Temporary Use or Taking. If at any time during the term of this Deed of
Trust the temporary use of the whole or any part of the Property  shall be taken
in condemnation  proceedings,  all of the award or proceeds  collected by Lender
pursuant to  subparagraph  17(a)  hereof  shall be held by Lender and applied by
Lender  toward the  payment of the  monthly  interest  payment or of the monthly
payments of  principal  and interest due on the Debt until such time as the Debt
is completely  satisfied and paid,  except that, if such taking by  condemnation
proceedings  results in changes  and  alterations  to the  Property  or any part
thereof which would  necessitate  an  expenditure to restore the Property or any
part thereof to its former condition, then such portion of the award or proceeds
as in Lender's  reasonable  estimation  shall be  necessary to cover the cost of
restoration  shall at the  option of  Lender  be  retained  by  Lender,  without
application as aforesaid, and be applied and paid over toward the restoration of
the Property,  or any part thereof, to its former condition in substantially the
same manner and subject to the same conditions as those provided in paragraph 16
hereof with respect to insurance and other  monies.  In the event that the costs
of such  restoration  shall exceed the net amount  collected by Lender,  Grantor
shall pay or cause to be paid the deficiency.

     (e)  Taking of Rights of Light,  Air,  Access  and the Like.  Any award for
compensation made in condemnation  proceedings for consequential  damages or for
the taking of rights in, under and above the streets adjoining such Property, or
the rights and  benefits  of light,  air or access to said  streets,  or for the
taking of  space,  or  rights  therein,  below  the  surface  of, or above,  the
Property,  shall  be  paid  over to and  received  by  Lender.  Such  awards  or
compensation shall at the option of Lender be either applied to the reduction of
the  Debt,  or  paid  over  toward  the  cost  of such  demolition,  repair  and
restoration  of  the  Property  as  shall  be   necessitated   by  such  taking,
substantially  in the same  manner and subject to the same  conditions  as those
provided in paragraph 17 hereof with respect to insurance and other monies,  and
any balance  remaining in the hands of Lender  shall be retained by Lender,  and
applied in reduction of the Debt in the same manner as provided in  subparagraph
17(c) with respect to the balance of the award or awards therein referred to.

     (f)  Reimbursement  of Costs,  Fees and the Like. In the case of any taking
covered by the  provisions of this  paragraph 17, Grantor shall be entitled as a
first  priority to  reimbursement  out of any award or awards for all reasonable
costs,  fees, and expenses  incurred in the  determination and collection of any
such awards.

     (g)  Payments  Pending  Receipt  of Award.  Notwithstanding  any  taking by
condemnation proceedings,  Grantor shall continue to pay interest on the Debt at
the rates  provided in the Note until any such award or payment  shall have been
actually received by Lender and applied to the principal sum as provided in this
paragraph 18, if it is to be so applied under this paragraph

                                     - 15 -

<PAGE>



     18. Any reduction in the principal sum resulting from Lender's  application
of such award or payment as hereinafter set forth shall be deemed to take effect
only on the date of such application. If prior to Lender's receipt of such award
or  payment  the  Property  shall have been  sc',.d to Lender or its  nominee on
foreclosure  of this Deed of Trust,  Lender  shall have the right to receive and
retain the entire award or payment.

     (h) No Postponement. Abatement or Scheduled Installments. In no event shall
the  application to the Debt of any payment to Lender pursuant to this paragraph
18 postpone,  abate or reduce any of the periodic  installments  of principal or
interest  thereafter to become due under the Note and the Loan  Documents  until
such amounts are paid in full.

              19. Indemnity for Costs.  Grantor will indemnify  against,  and on
demand repay  Trustees or Lender for any loss,  damage,  expense,  or reasonable
attorneys,  fees which may be  incurred  by reason of any  action or  proceeding
affecting  the Property or the title  thereto or Trustee's or Lender's  interest
under  this  Deed of Trust to  which  Trustees  or  Lender  is made a party  (by
intervention or otherwise).

              20.  Change in Trust  Deed Tax Laws.  In the event of the  passage
after the date of this  Deed of Trust of any law of the  State of West  Virginia
deducting  from the value of the  Property  for the purpose of taxation any lien
thereon,  or  changing  in any way the  laws now in force  for the  taxation  of
mortgages,  or debts secured thereby, for state or local purposes, or the manner
of the  operation  of any such taxes so as to affect the interest of Trustees or
Lender,  then and in such event,  Grantor  shall bear and pay the full amount of
such taxes.

              21.   Agreements   Continuing,   Absolute.   The   agreements  and
obligations of Grantor hereunder are continuing agreements and obligations,  and
are absolute and  unconditional  irrespective  of the  genuineness,  validity or
enforceability  of the  Note  or any  other  instrument  or  instruments  now or
hereafter  evidencing  the Debt or any  other  agreement  or  agreements  now or
hereafter  entered into by Lender and Grantor  pursuant to which the Debt or any
part  thereof  is issued  or of any other  circumstance  which  might  otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable  discharge of such  agreements and  obligations;
without limitation upon the foregoing, the agreements and obligations of Grantor
shall  not in any  such  way be  affected  by (i) any  renewal,  refinancing  or
refunding  of the Debt in whole or in part,  (ii) any  extension  of the time of
payment of the amounts due and owing under the Note or any other  instrument  or
instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Debt or any part thereof,  (iii) any
amendment to or  modification  of the terms of the Note or other  instrument  or
instruments  now or  hereafter  evidencing  the Debt or any part  thereof or any
other  agreement  or  agreements  now or  hereafter  entered  into by Lender and
Grantor  pursuant  to which the Debt or any part  thereof is issued or  secured,
(iv) any substitution,  exchange or release of, or failure to preserve,  perfect
or protect,  or other dealing in respect of, the Property or any other  property
or any  security  for the  payment  of the  Debt or any  part  thereof,  (v) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement,  composition, assignment for the benefit of
creditors  or similar  proceeding  commenced  by or against  Grantor or (vi) any
other matter or thing  whatsoever  whereby the  agreements  and  obligations  of
Grantor hereunder would or might otherwise be released or discharged.

<PAGE>




                  The  Company  may deem and treat the  Person in whose n me the
Warrants are  registered  as the Holder for all  purposes,  notwithstanding  any
notations  of ownership or writing made hereon by anyone other than the Company,
and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary,  until  presentation of
this Warrant  Certificate for registration of transfer as provided in Section 3.
The Company  shall  maintain  at its office in Laguna  Beach,  California  or in
Chester,  West Virginia, a register for the Warrants, in which the Company shall
record the name and  address of the Person in whose name each  Warrant  has been
issued,  as well as the name and address of each transferee and each prior owner
of such  Warrant.  Within five days after the Holder shall by written  notice to
the  Company  request  the  same,  the  Company  will  deliver  to the  Holder a
certificate,  signed by one of its officers,  listing the names and addresses of
every other  holder of Warrants  and/or  Warrant  Shares who is a successor or a

                  This Warrant  Certificate is exchangeable,  upon the surrender
hereof by the  Holder to the  Company at its  office or agency  provided  for in
Section 2, for new  Warrant  Certificates  of like  tenor,  representing  in the
aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder,  each of such new  Warrant  Certificates  to  represent  the right to
purchase  such number of shares of Common  Stock as shall be  designated  by the
Holder at the time of such surrender.  Subject to Section 5 hereof, this Warrant
Certificate and all rights hereunder are  transferable,  in whole or in part, in
accordance  with Section 2, by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized
attorney,  and a new Warrant Certificate shall promptly be made and delivered by
the Company, of the same tenor as this Warrant Certificate but registered in the
name of the transferee, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate together with
a duly  completed  Assignment,  substantially  in the form  attached  hereto  as
Exhibit I, at the  office of the  Company  where the  register  provided  for in
Section 2 is maintained.  Upon receipt by the Company at its office provided for
in  Section 2 of  evidence  reasonably  satisfactory  to it of the loss,  theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and, in the case of loss,
theft or destruction,  of indemnity or security  reasonably  satisfactory to it,
and upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate,  if mutilated,  the Company will
make and deliver a new Warrant  Certificate of like tenor in replacement of this
Warrant Certificate.  This Warrant Certificate shall be promptly canceled by the
Company upon the surrender thereof in connection with any exchange,  transfer or
replacement.  The Company shall pay all taxes and all other expenses and charges

by this Warrant Certificate at the times set forth in Section 4.2.

                                      - 4 -

<PAGE>




                  4.2. Exercise Period.  The Holder may xercise,  in whole or in
part (but not as to a fractional  share of Common  Stock),  the purchase  rights
represented by this Warrant  Certificate at any time and from time to time after
the date hereof and until 5:00 p.m.,  Pacific  Time,  on December  10, 2001 (the
"Exercise Period").

     4.3. Exercise Procedure. (a) Warrants will be deemed to have been exercised
as of the date during the  Exercise  Period when the Company has received all of
the following items (the "Ex rcise Time"):

     (i) a completed  Exercise  Agreement,  as  described  in Section 4.4 below,
executed by the Holder;

                  (ii) this Warrant Certificate; and

                  (iii) cash or a certified  or official  bank check  payable to
the  Company in an amount  equal to the then  effective  Purchase  Price for the
shares for which this Warrant Certificate is being exercised.

                  (b)  Certificates  for  Warrant  S  ares  purchased  upon  the
exercise of Warrants  will be delivered by the Company to the Holder within five
business days after the date of the Exercise Time. Unless the remaining Warrants
have  expired or have been  exercised,  the Company  will  prepare a new Warrant
Certificate,  substantially identical hereto, representing the Warrants formerly
represented by this Warrant Certificate which have not expired or been exercised
and will, within such five-day period,  deliver such new Warrant  Certificate to
the Holder.  Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary  set forth  herein,  the
business day periods provided for in this paragraph  shall,  without any further
action,  be reduced to such  shorter  time period as shall be necessary in order
for the  Holder  to  effect  any  Transfer  of  Warrants  or  Warrant  Shares in
accordance with any applicable clearing procedures or other procedures governing
registration  of transfer.  In the case of a public  offering of any Registrable
Securities, the provisions set forth in this Section 4.3(b) shall, to the extent
applicable, be subject to clause (vi) of Section 5.5.

                  (c) The Warrant Shares shall, when issued, be duly authorized,
validly issued,  previously  unissued,  fully paid and nonassessable and will be
free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect thereto.

                  (d)  Warrant  Shares will be deemed to have been issued at the
Exercise Time,  and the Person in whose name such shares are registered  will be
deemed for all purposes
 o have become the Holder of such shares at the Exercise Time.

                  (e) The issuance of  certificates  for Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of Warrants will be made without charge for any issuance tax in respect
thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in  connection  with such exercise
and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock.

                  (f) The Company will not close its books  against the transfer
of the Warrants or of any of the Warrant  Share in any manner  which  interferes
with the timely exercise of the

                                      - 5 -

<PAGE>



Warrants or the timely  transfer of all or any part of this Warrant  Certificate
or the Warrant  Shares.  The Company will from time to time take all such action
as may be  necessary  to assure  that the par  value  per share of the  unissued
Common Stock  acquirable  upon the exercise of Warrants is at all times equal to
or less than the Purchase Price then in effect.

                  (g) Upon the  exercis of  Warrants,  the Holder of the Warrant
Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants  shall be entitled to all of the
rights,  and shall be subject to all of the  obligations,  set forth herein,  in
each case to the extent provided for herein.

                  (h) The right of the Holder to exercise any Warrants hereunder
shall be  expressly  limited to the extent  that the Holder  (together  with its
affiliates  or other persons or entities  controlled by or under common  control
with the Holder) w ll thereafter  own in the aggregate  more than 5% of the then
issued and  outstanding  Common  Stock (a  "Controlling  Interest"),  unless the
Holder's ownership of such a Controlling  Interest has been approved by the West
Virginia  Lottery  Commission or such approval shall no longer be required under
applicable  law.  The  Company  shall use its best  efforts to  obtain,  or help
obtain, as applicable, any such approval.

                  4.4.  Exercise  Agreement.  Upon any exercise of the War ants,
the Exercise Agreement will be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit II
hereto,  except that if the  Warrant  Shares are not to be issued in the name of
the  Holder,  the  Exercise  Agreement  will also state the name or names of the
Person or Persons to whom the  certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued,
and the Holder  shall  comply  with  Sections  5.1 and 5.2 hereof in  connection
therewith.  The Exercise  Agreement  shall be dated the actual date of execution
thereof.

                  5   TRANSFER AND REGISTRATION

                  5.1.  Restrictions on Transfer Generally.  Notwithstanding any
provisions  contained in this Warrant Certificate to the contrary,  the Warrants
shall not be  transferable  and the related Warrant Shares shall not be issuable
to any Person,  or transferable by the Holder thereof,  except upon satisfaction
of the conditions specified in this Section 5.1. Such conditions are intended to
insure  compliance  with the  provisions of the Securities Act in respect of the
exercise of the Warrants or the Transfer of the Warrants or Warrant Shares.  The
Holder agrees that it will not: (i) Transfer  Warrants  prior to delivery to the
Company of the opinion of counsel  referred  to in, and to the effect  described
in, Section 5.2, or until  registration under the Securities Act of the Warrants
and all related Warrant Shares has become  effective;  (ii) request the issuance
to any Person of Warrant Shares  issuable upon the exercise of Warrants prior to
delivery  to the  Company of the  opinion of counsel  referred to in, and to the
effect  described in, Section 5.2, or until  registration of the related Warrant
Shares under the  Securities  Act has become  effective;  or (iii)  Transfer any
Warrant  Shares  prior to  delivery  to the  Company  of the  opinion of counsel
referred  to in,  and  to  the  effect  described  in,  Section  5.2,  or  until
registration  of such  Warrant  Shares  under  the  Securities  Act  has  become
effective.  Compliance with the foregoing  provisions  shall not be required for
any Transfer of Warrants or of Warrant Shares by the Holder to the Company.

                                      - 6 -

<PAGE>




                  5.2.  Opinion of Counsel.  Subject to Section 5.11, so long as
this Warrant Certificate,  or any certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon the
exercise of  Warrants,  bears the legend  required by Section  5.10,  the Holder
agrees that, prior to any Transfer or attempted  Transfer of Warrants or Warrant
Shares  evidenced  by such  certificate,  it shall  give  written  no ice to the
Company of its intention to effect such Transfer. Any such notice shall describe
the manner and timing of the proposed Transfer in reasonable detail. Such notice
shall be  accompanied  by an  opinion  of counsel  for the  Holder,  in form and
substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Company,  stating that the proposed
Transfer  may  be  effected  without   registration  of  the  securities  to  be
transferred  under the Securities  Act,  following  receipt of which the Company
shall promptly, at such time as shall be requested by the Holder, give effect to
such Transfer in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder
to the Company.  Each Warrant  Certificate  or certificate  evidencing  Warrants
Shares,  as the case may be, issued to a transferee in such Transfer  shall bear
the legend set forth in Section 5.10 if required by such Section, unless, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company,  such legend is not required or  appropriate
in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 5.2, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel for
the Company,  the proposed  Transfer  may not be effected  without  registration
under the Securities  Act, the Company shall promptly (and, in any case,  within
two  business  days after  receiving  the notice of proposed  Transfer  from the
Holder) so notify the Holder and the Holder shall not  consummate  such Transfer
until the required  registration  under the Securities Act has become effective,
except in another  transaction exempt from the registration  requirements of the
Securities Act.

                  5.3.  Registration.  The Company shall effect the registration
on an applicable form under the Securities Act of the resale of the Warrants and
the issuance or, if not permissible  under the Securities Act, the resale of the
Warrant Shares,  pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights
Agreement.  The  Company  shall use its best  efforts to keep such  registration
statement  filed and  declared eff ctive  pursuant to this  Warrant  Certificate
continuously  effective until such time as (i) none of the securities covered by
such registration  statement shall constitute Registrable Securities or (ii) all
of the Registrable  Securities covered by such registration statement are freely
transferable pursuant to Rule 144(k); provided,  however, that,  notwithstanding
the foregoing,  prior to the suspension or termination of the  effectiveness  of
any registration  statement pursuant to either clause (i) or clause (ii) of this
sentence,  (A) the  Company  shall  have  delivered  to the Holder an opinion of
counsel to the Company  satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder and its
counsel  stating that the applicable  condition  precedent to the termination of
the  effectiveness of the registration  statement set forth in this sentence has
been  satisfied and (B) the Holder and its counsel shall have concurred with the
conclusions  set out in such  opinion.  If the  Company  shall  fail to file any
registration  statement  required  to be filed by the  Company  pursuant to this
Section  5.3 on or before  the date that is 90 days from the date of demand  for
the filing of such  registration  statement (the date of such demand the "Demand
Date"),  the Company shall,  within five days thereafter,  pay to the Holder, in
cash,  with respect to each Warrant Share held by the Holder  (determined  on an
as-converted  basis),  an amount  that is equal to the greater of (i) 10% of the
closing price of the Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding such
90th day and (ii) $350,000  divided by the number of Warrant Shares  (determined
on  an  as-converted  basis)  required  to  be  included  on  such  registration
statement.  In the event  that a  registration  statement  required  to be filed
pursuant to this

                                      - 7 -

<PAGE>



Agreement shall fail to be declared effective on or before the date (the "Second
Penalty Date") that is seven  calendar  months from the Demand Date, the Company
shall pay to the Holder an additional amount equal to 5% of the closing price of
the Common Stock on the business day  immediately  preceding the Second  Penalty
Date for each Warrant Share (determined on an as-converted basis) to be included
on such registration  statement.  If such registration statement is not declared
effective on or before the date (the "Third Penalty Date") that is nine calendar
months from the Demand Date,  the Company  shall pay to the Holder an additional
penalty of 10% of the  closing  price of the Common  Stock on the Third  Penalty
Date,  and on the last day of each month  thereafter  (each a "10% Due Date") on
the business day immediately  preceding such 10% Due Date for each Warrant Share
(determined  on an  as-converted  basis)  to be  included  on such  registration
statement until such  registration  statement is declared  effective (the "Final
Penalties").  For purposes of this paragraph, the closing price of such security
for any day shall be the last  reported  sale price  regular  way or, in case no
such  reported  sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and
asked  prices  regular  way for such  day,  in each  case  (i) on the  principal
national  securities  exchange on which such security is listed or to which such
security  is  admitted  to  trading  or (ii) if such  security  is not listed or
admitted to trading on a national securities  exchange,  in the over-the-counter
market as reported by The Nasdaq  National  Market or a  comparable  system,  or
(iii)  if such  security  is not  listed  on The  Nasdaq  National  Market  or a
comparable  system,  as furnished by two members of the National  Association of
Securities  Dealers,  Inc. selected from time to time in good faith by the Board
of  Directors  of the  Company  for that  purpose.  In the absence of all of the
foregoing,  or if for any other reason the closing price of such security cannot
be determined pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the closing price shall be the
fair market value of such  security as  determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company. Without limiting the remedies available to the Holder,
the  Company  acknowledges  that any  failure by the  Company to comply with its
obligations under this Section 5.3 may result in material  irreparable injury to
the Holder (and/or subsequent  holders) for which there is no adequate remedy at
law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely
and that, in the event of any such failure, the Holder (or any subsequent holder
of  Registrable  Securities)  may  obtain  such  relief  as may be  required  to
specifically   enforce  the  Company's   obligations  under  this  Section  5.3.
Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant certificate to the contrary, so long as
the Company is in compliance with its obligations with respect to the payment of
any  penalties  pursuant to this  Section  5.3, it shall not be in breach of its
obligation  to register  Common  Stock or Warrants  under this  Section 5.3. The
Company hereby acknowledges that any Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement.

                  5. . Underwritten  Offering. The Holder may sell any or all of
its Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering; provided, however, that,
nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall in any way accelerate the obligation
of the  Company set forth in the first  sentence  of Section  5.3. If the Holder
desires to do so, it shall so notify the  Company  in  writing,  stating in such
notice the number and class of securities  proposed to be sold. Within five days
after receipt of such notice,  the Company shall mail a notice  stating that the
Holder has requested an underwritten  offering of all or part of its Registrable
Securities (which notice shall state the number and class of securities proposed
to be sold by the Holder) to any other holders of Registrable  Securities and to
any  other  holders  of  "Registrable   Securities"   under  any  other  Warrant
Certificates  or the  Registration  Rights  Agreement.  Any  such  other  holder
desiring to

                                      - 8 -

participate in the  underwritten  offering shall be entitled to do so,  provided
that  such  holder  notifies  the  Company  of  its  intent  to  so  participate
(specifying  in its notice the number of securities  proposed to be sold, all of
which  shall be  required  to be of the same  class  as those  set  forth in the
Holder's  notice) not later than the date that is fifteen days after the date on
which the  Company  mailed  notice of such  underwritten  offering to such other
holder.  In  any  such  underwritten  offering  requested  by  the  Holder,  the
investment   banker  or   investment   bankers  and  manager  or  managers  (the
"Underwriters")  that will  administer  the  offering  will be  selected  by the
Holder,  subject to the reasonable  approval of the holders of a majority of the
securities  (determined  on an  as-converted  basis and  including  the Holder's
Registrable  Securities)  proposed  to be  included  in  such  offering  and the
reasonable approval of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth  herein,  if the  Underwriter  determines  that the  number of  securities
includable in an underwritten offering requested by the Holder is limited due to
market conditions,  priority shall be given first to the Registrable  Securities
and any other securities constituting  "Registrable  Securities" under any other
Warrant  Certificate or the Registration Rights Agreement held by the Holder and
then to securities  held by all other  holders of  securities  proposing to sell
securities in such  underwritten  offering on a pro rata basis (determined on an
as-converted  basis).  Any holder of  securities  requesting  the  inclusion  of
securities  held by such  holder in an  underwritten  offering  pursuant to this
Section 5.4 (including the Holder) may, at any time (subject to any arrangements
entered into with the Underwriters),  withdraw all or any part of its securities
from  such  underwritten  offering.  Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary
herein,  the  provisions  of this Section 5.4 shall not apply to any  securities
that are freely transferable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.

                  5.5. Registration  Procedures;  Obligations of the Company. In

of all securities  covered by the  registration  statement,  including,  without

(determined on an as-converted  basis) or their counsel shall reasonably  object
on a timely basis;

supply  all  information   reasonably  requested  by  any  such  representative,
Underwriter,   attorney  or  accountant  in  connection  with  the  registration
statement; provided, however that such representatives,  Underwriters, attorneys
or accountants agree to keep confidential any records,  information or documents
that are  designated by the Company in writing as  confidential  and to use such
information  obtained  pursuant to this  provision  only in connection  with the
transaction  for which  such  information  was  obtained,  and not for any other
purpose, unless (A) such records,  information or documents (I) are available to
the  public,  (II)  were  already  in  such   representatives',   Underwriters',
attorneys' or  accountants'  possession  prior to their receipt from the Company

              5.7. Indemnification. (a) The Company hereby indemnifies and holds
harmless the Holder and each  officer,  director and  controlling  person of the
Holder  against  all claims,  losses,  damages  and  liabilities  (or actions in
respect  thereof)  arising out of or based on any untrue  statement  (or alleged
untrue  statement)  of a material  fact  contained in any  prospectus,  offering
circular  or other  document  incident  to any  registration,  qualification  or
compliance (or in any related registration statement,  notification or the like)
or any omission (or alleged  omission) to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
or any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation  promulgated under the
Securities  Act or any  state  securities  law  applicable  to the  Company  and
relating to any action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with
any such  registration,  qualification  or  compliance,  and will  reimburse the
Holder and each such officer,  director and controlling person for any legal and
any other expenses  incurred in connection with  investigating  or defending any
such claim,  loss,  damage,  liability or action;  provided,  however,  that the
Company will not be liable to the Holder in any such case to the extent that any
such claim,  loss,  damage or liability  arises out of or is based on any untrue
statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company in
an instrument duly executed by the Holder and stated to be specifically  for use
in the document  containing such untrue statement of a material fact or omitting
to state the material fact required to be stated therein.

                  (b) Each party entitled to indemnification  hereunder (each an
"indemnified  party")  shall  give  notice to the  Company  promptly  after such
indemnified  party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity ay be
sought,  and shall  permit the Company (at its expense) to assume the defense of
any claim or any litigation resulting  therefrom,  provided that counsel for the
Company  who shall  conduct  the  defense of such claim or  litigation  shall be
reasonably  satisfactory to the  indemnified  party.  The indemnified  party may
participate in such defense,  but only at such indemnified party's expense.  The
omission by any  indemnified  party to give notice as provided  herein shall not
relieve the Company of its  obligations  under this Section 5.7(b) except to the
extent that the  omission  results in a failure of actual  notice to the Company
and the Company is damaged solely as a result of the failure to give notice. The
Company shall not, in the defense of any such claim or  litigation,  except with
the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional  term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified  party of a release from
all liability with respect to such claim or litigation.

                  (c) The  reimbursement  required by this  Section 5.7 shall be
made by periodic payments during the course of the investigation or defense,  as
and when bills are received or expenses incurred.

                  (d) To the  extent  any  indemnification  by  the  Company  is
prohibited  or  limited  by  law,  the  Company   agrees  to  make  the  maximum
contribution  permitted by applicable  law with respect to any am unts for which
it would otherwise be liable under Section 5.7(a).

                  (e)  The   Company   will  enter  into   indemnification   and
contribution   arrangements   with   the   Holder,   any   other   participating
securityholders  and the  Underwriters  that  are  usual  and  customary  and/or
reasonable under the circumstances in connection with any underwritten

                                     - 13 -

<PAGE>



offering  to be  effected  pursuant  to Section  5.4;  provided,  that,  nothing
contained  herein  shall  require  the Company o indemnify  any  Underwriter  in
connection  with  any  statement   expressly   provided  for  inclusion  in  any
registration statement by such Underwriter.

                  5.8. Other Registrations. (a) The Company may not, without the
prior  written  consent  of the  holders  of a  majority  of  the  participating
Registrable  Securities (determined on an as-converted basis), permit present or
subsequent  investors  in the Company  (other than  transferees  of  Registrable
Securities) to participate  in any r gistrations  initiated  pursuant to Section
5.3 or  underwritten  offerings  requested  pursuant to Section  5.4;  provided,
however,  that,  nothing contained herein shall be interpreted so as to prohibit
the Company from entering into and performing its obligations under Section 5.4,
under  Section  5.4  of  any  of  the  other  Warrant  Certificates,  under  the
Registration  Rights  Agreement  (including,  but not  limited to, in respect of
securities to be received on future dates  pursuant to the Term Loan  Agreement)
or under any of the registration rights agreements listed on Schedule 5.8(a).

                  (b) To the extent that an  underwritten  offering is requested
pursuant to any other Warrant  Certificate or the Registration Rights Agreement,
the  Holder  shall be given  the  opportunity  to elect to  participate  in such
underwritten  offering on the terms and subject to the  conditions  set forth in
the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company shall not amend any of such terms
in any Warrant  Certificate or in t e Registration  Rights Agreement in a manner
adverse to the Holder  without  the prior  written  consent of the  holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities (determined on an as-converted basis).

                  5.9. Rule 144 Requirements;  Adequate  Information for Private
Sales.  (a) At all times and from time to time,  the Company shall  undertake to
make publicly available and available to the Holder, pursuant to Rule 144 of the
Commission  under the Securities Act, such informati n as is necessary to enable
the Holder to make sales of  Registrable  Securities  pursuant to that Rule. The
Company shall furnish to the Holder,  upon request, a written statement executed
by the Company as to the steps it has taken to comply  with the  current  public
information requirements of Rule 144. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall have no further  obligations  under this  Section  5.9 at such time as all
then outstanding Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to paragraph (k) of
Rule 144,  as  determined  by,  and set forth in an opinion  of,  counsel to the
Company who is reasonably  acceptable to the Holder. The Holder shall notify the
Company promptly after it ceases to hold any Registrable Securities.

                  (b) If the Holder  desires to effect a Transfer of Registrable
Securities  without  registration  under the Securities Act, and if at such time
such Transfer cannot be effected pursuant to Rule 144, then the Company,  at the
Holder's request and at the Company's e pense, shall provide the Holder with all
such  information  regarding the Company as would be required in order to enable
the Holder to comply with the exemption  from  registration  provided by Section
4(l) of the Securities Act (or any successor  provision) or any other applicable
exemption from registration.

or replacement of this Warrant  Certificate shall (unless otherwise permitted by
Section .2 or unless the Warrants to be  evidenced  by such Warrant  Certificate

the first page of this Warrant Certificate.

                  (b) Each  certificate for Warrant  Shares,  including any such

by Section 5.2 or unless the Warrant Shares to be evidenced by such  certificate
shall have been  issued or  transferred  pursuant to an  effective  registration
statement  under the  Securities  Act or pursuant  to Rule 144 or any  successor
rule) be stamped  or  otherwise  imprinted  with a legend in  substantially  the

WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR  INSPECTION AT THE HEAD OFFICE OF WINNERS  ENTERTAINMENT,

     (c) The  provisions of Sections  4.3(h),  5.1 and 5.2 and this Section 5.10
shall be binding upon all subsequent Holders.

                  5.11.  Exchange  of  Certificates.   At  such  time  as  shall
reasonably be requested by the Holder,  subject to applicable  law regarding the
unrestricted  transfer of  securities,  the Company  will deliver to the Holder,
upon  delivery  to the Company of a  certificate  or  certificates  representing
Warrants or Warrant  Shares  bearing the legend set forth in S ction 5.10, a new
certificate or certificates representing such Warrants or Warrant Shares but not

                  6.  COMPANY'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF OBLIGATIONS

                  The Company  will,  at the time of any  exercise of  Warrants,
upon the request of the Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation
to afford to the  Holder all rights to which the  Holder  shall  continue  to be
entitled  after such exercise in accordance  with the provisions of this W rrant
Certificate;  provided, however, that, if the Holder shall fail to make any such
request,  such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company
to afford to the Holder any such rights.

                  7.  ADJUSTMENTS

                  The number of Warrant Shares  purchasable  pursuant hereto and
the Purchase Price per Warrant Share shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time on and after the Date of Issuance as  hereinafter  provided in this Section
7.

                                     - 15 -

<PAGE>




                  7.1.  Adjustment of Purchase Price. The initial purchase price
per Warrant Share of $1.06 per share shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time as  hereinafter  provided on or after the Date of Issuance  (as so adjusted
from time to time, the "Purchase Price").  Upon each adjustment of the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable  pursuant hereto, the Purchase Price shall be reduced
to  a  price  determined  by  dividing  the  aggregate  Purchase  Price  of  all
unexercised Warrant Shares in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the
maximum  total  number of  Warrant  Shares  purchasable  immediately  after such
adjustment.

                  7.2. Adjustment of Number of Shares. If and whenever after the
Date of Issuance the Company shall in any manner (i) issue or sell any shares of
its Common Stock, (ii) grant any rights to subscribe for or to purchase,  or any
options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or securiti s convertible
into or  exchangeable  for Common  Stock (such  rights or options  being  herein
called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable  stock or securities being
herein  called  "Convertible  Securities"),  (iii)  issue  or  sell  Convertible
Securities,  whether or not the rights to  exchange  or convert  thereunder  are
immediately  exercisable,   or  (iv)  declare  a  dividend  or  make  any  other
distribution  upon any stock of the Company payable in Common Stock,  Options or
Convertible  Securities  (any of the matters  referred to in clauses (i),  (ii),
(iii) and (iv) being an  "Event"),  the Holder shall  thereafter  be entitled to
purchase in the aggregate,  at the Purchase Price  resulting from the adjustment
provided by Section 7.1, the number of Warrant  Shares equal to that  percentage
of the total number of shares of Common  Stock  (determined  on an  as-converted
basis) that the Holder was entitled to purchase immediately prior to such Event;
provided,  however,  that,  if an  adjustment is required to be made pursuant to
this sentence in respect of any Event that involves the offer and/or issuance of
securities  to  all  of the  holders  of the  Common  Stock,  the  Holder  shall
thereafter be entitled to receive the number of Warrant  Shares which the Holder
would have owned immediately following such Event (on an as-converted basis) had
the Warrants been  exercised  immediately  prior  thereto.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  no adjustment  shall be made pursuant to any Event:  (i) at any time
prior to the date that is 30 months  after the  repayment  in full of all of the
outstanding principal under the Term Loan Agreement if (A) the securities issued
in  connection  with  the  Event  were  sold  for  a  price  (determined  on  an
as-converted  basis) exceeding the Purchase Price or (B) if the Event that would
result in such adjustment was approved in advance in writing by the holders of a
majority of the shares of Common Stock  (determined  on an  as-converted  basis)
issuable  upon  the  exercise  of  the  warrants   represented  by  the  Warrant
Certificates,  which  approval  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld;  and (ii)
following  the date that is 30 months after the  repayment in full of all of the
outstanding principal under the Term Loan Agreement;  provided,  however,  that,
notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  set forth in  clauses  (i) and (ii)
above,  the  adjustments  provided for in the first sentence of this Section 7.2
shall  continue to be made in respect of any Event to the extent that such Event
involves the offer and/or  issuance of  securities  to all of the holders of any
class of securities of the Company;  provided,  further,  however, that, nothing
contained in this sentence  shall limit the effect of any  adjustment to be made
pursuant to any other Section of this Warrant  Certificate.  Notwithstanding the
first sentence of this paragraph,  no adjustment  shall be made pursuant to this
Section  7.2 in  respect  of the  issuance  of (i)  Common  Stock or  Options to
employees, directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries under bona
fide employee  benefit  plans  adopted by the Board of Directors,  to the extent
that,  with respect to any  applicable  fiscal  year,  shares of Common Stock or
Options representing (on an as-converted basis) no more

                                     - 16 -

<PAGE>



than 1% of the  issued  and  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock on the Date of
Issuance are issued,  (ii) Common Stock in the ordinary course of business,  the
issuance  of which has been  approved by the Board of  Directors,  to the extent
that,  with  respect  to any  applicable  fiscal  year,  shares of Common  Stock
representing  (on an  as-converted  basis)  no more than .5% of the  issued  and
outstanding  shares of Common  Stock on the Date of Issuance are issued or (iii)
warrants  or  shares  of  Common  Stock  pursuant  to the terms of the Term Loan
Agreement.

                  7.3. Record Date. In case at any time the Company shall take a
record of the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling  them (i)
to receive a dividend or other  distribution  payable in shares of Common  Stock
Options or in Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase shares
of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall,
for purposes of the adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 7, be deemed
to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have
been  issued  or sold  upon  the  payment  of  such  dividend  or of such  other
distribution  or the  date of the  granting  of such  right of  subscription  or
purchase, as the case may be.

                  7.4.  Liquidating  Dividends.  The Company  will not declare a
dividend  upon the  Common  Stock  payable  other  (i) than out of  consolidated
earnings  for the fiscal year of the Company in respect of which the dividend is
paid,  determined in accordance with Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Principles
consistently applied by the Company's  independent certified public accountants,
including the making of appropriate  deductions for minority interests,  if any,
in  subsidiaries,  or (ii) than in ommon  Stock,  unless,  in either  case,  the
Company shall pay over to the Holder,  on the dividend  payment date,  the cash,
stock or other  securities  and other  property  which  the  Holder  would  have
received if the Holder had  exercised  the Warrants in full to purchase  Warrant
Shares  and had been the  record  holder of such  Warrant  Shares on the date on
which a record is taken for the purpose of such dividend, or, if a record is not
taken,  the date as of which the holders of Common  Stock of record  entitled to
such  dividend  are to be  determined.  For the  purposes  of the  foregoing,  a
dividend other than in cash shall be considered  payable out of earnings only to
the extent that such  earnings  are charged an amount equal to the fair value of
such  dividend  as  determined  in good faith by the Board of  Directors  of the
Company.

                  7.5. Subdivision or Combination of Shares. In case the Company
shall at any time  subdivide  its  outstanding  shares  of Common  Stock  into a
greater number of share , the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall thereafter be proportionally  reduced and the number of shares
of Common Stock purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased so that
the Holder  shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant  Shares which the
Holder would have owned immediately  following such action had the Warrants been
exercised  immediately  prior thereto at the aggregate  Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such action. In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be combined into a smaller number of shares,  the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall be  proportionately  increased,  and
the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock   purchasable   hereunder   shall  be
proportionately  reduced so that the Holder  shall  thereafter  be  entitled  to
receive  the  number  of  Warrant  Shares  which the  Holder  would  have  owned
immediately  following such action had the Warrants been  exercised  immediately
prior thereto at the aggregate  Purchase  Price in effect  immediately  prior to
such action.

                  7.6.    Reorganization,    Merger,   etc.   If   any   capital
reorganization  or  reclassification  of the capital stock of the Company (other
than as provided in Section 7.5), or consolidation or merger of the Company with
another corporation,  or the sale or conveyance,  of all or substantially all of
its assets to another corporation,  shall be effected in such a way that holders
of the Common Stoc shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with
respect to or in exchange for shares of Common  Stock,  then,  prior to and as a
condition of such reorganization, reclassification,  consolidation, merger, sale
or conveyance,  lawful and adequate  provision  shall be made whereby the Holder
shall  thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon
the terms and conditions  specified in this Warrant  Certificate  and in lieu of
the Warrant Shares immediately  theretofore  purchasable and receivable upon the
exercise of the Warrants,  such shares of stock,  securities or assets as may be
issued or payable  with  respect to or in exchange  for a number of  outstanding
shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore   purchasable  and  receivable  upon  the  exercise  of  the  rights
represented  hereby had such  reorganization,  reclassification,  consolidation,
merger,  sale or  conveyance  not taken  place.  In any such  case,  appropriate
provision  shall be made with respect to the rights and  interests of the Holder
to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions
for  adjustment  of the  Purchase  Price  and of the  number of  Warrant  Shares
purchasable  upon the  exercise  of the  Warrants  and for the  registration  of
Registrable  Securities to the extent provided in Section 5) shall thereafter be
applicable,  as nearly as may be in relation to any stock,  securities or assets
thereafter  deliverable upon the exercise  hereof.  The Company shall not effect
any  such  consolidation,   merger,  sale  or  conveyance  unless  prior  to  or
simultaneously   with  the  consummation   thereof  the  survivor  or  successor
corporation  (if other than the Company)  resulting from such  consolidation  or
merger or the  corporation  purchasing or otherwise  acquiring such assets shall
(i) assume by written instrument executed and sent to the Holder, the obligation
to deliver  to the  Holder  such  shares of stock,  securities  or assets as, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive,
and containing the express assumption by such survivor or successor  corporation
of the due and punctual  performance  and observance of every  provision of this
Warrant  Certificate  to be  performed  and  observed  by the Company and of all
liabilities  and obligations of the Company  hereunder,  and (ii) deliver to the
Holder an opinion of counsel, in form and substance  reasonably  satisfactory to
the Holder, to the effect that such written instrument has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by such survivor or successor corporation and constitutes
a legal,  valid and binding  instrument  enforceable  against  such  survivor or
successor  corporation in accordance with its terms, and to such further effects
as the Holder may request.

                  7.7.  Exceptions  to Adjustment  of Purchase  Price.  Anything
herein to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  the Company  shall not be required to
make any  adjustment of the Purchase  Price upon the issuance of Warrants or the
issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants.

                  7.8.  Treasury  Shares.  The number of shares of Common  Stock
outstanding  at any time shall not  include  shares  owned or held by or for the
account  of the  Company,  and the  disposition  of any  such  shares  shall  be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purposes of Section 7.

                                     - 18 -

                  7.9. Company to Prevent Dilution.  In case at any time or from
tim to time conditions arise, which are not adequately covered by the provisions
of this Section 7, and which might  materially and adversely affect the exercise
rights of the Holder, the Board of Directors of the Company shall appoint a firm
of independent  certified public  accountants of recognized  national  standing,
which may be the firm regularly retained by the Company,  which shall give their
opinion  upon the  adjustment,  if any,  necessary  with respect to the Purchase
Price  and/or  number  of  Warrant  Shares  issuable  upon the  exercise  of the
Warrants,  on a basis  consistent  with the standards  established  in the other
provisions of this Section 7, so as to preserve,  without dilution, the exercise
rights of the Holder.  Upon receipt of such  opinion,  the Board of Directors of
the Company shall forthwith make the adjustments described therein.

                  7.10.  Adjustment  Notices to  Holder.  Upon any  increase  or
decrease in the number of Warrant  Shares  purchasable  upon the exercise of the
arrants,  or upon any  adjustment  in the  Purchase  Price  (in each case to the
extent  applicable),  then,  and in each such case,  the  Company  within 5 days
thereafter,  shall deliver  written notice  thereof to the Holder,  which notice
shall state the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of the Warrants,  setting forth in reasonable  detail the method of
calculation  and the  facts  upon  which  such  calculations  are  based.  Where
appropriate,  such notice may be given in advance and  included as a part of the
notice required to be mailed under the provisions of Section 9.

                  8.  SPECIAL COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

                  The Company covenants and agrees that:

                  (a) The Company will not, by amendment of its  Certificate  of
Incorporation  or  through  any  capital  reorganization,  transfer  of  assets,
consolidation,  merger,  dissolution,  issue or sale of  securities or any other
voluntary  action,  directly or indirectly avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or  performance  of any of the terms of the  Warrants,  but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of
the Holder against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of the Warrant
Shares above the Purchase Price payable therefor upon such exercise, or take any
other action that would cause the  Purchase  Price to be less than the par value
of the Warrant  Shares,  (ii) will take all such action as may be  necessary  or
appropriate in order that the Company may at all times validly and legally issue
fully paid and  non-assessable  Warrant Shares upon the exercise of all Warrants
from time to time  outstanding and (iii) will not issue any capital stock of any
class which is preferred as to  dividends  or as to the  distribution  of assets
upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, unless the
rights of the holders  thereof  shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of
par value in respect of participation in dividends and in any such  distribution
of assets.

                  (b) If any shares of Common Stock  required to be reserved for
the purpose of exercising the Warrants require  registration with or approval of
any governmental authority under any federal law (other than the Securities Act)
or under any state law before su h shares  may be issued  upon  exercise  of the
Warrants, the Company will, at its expense, as expeditiously

                                     - 19 -

<PAGE>



as possible,  use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or
approved, as the case may be.

                  (c) The Company will give notice to the Holder within ten days
after the  Company  shall have  filed  with the  Commission  an  application  to
register any securities of the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Company
will review ts stock ledgers,  stock transfer books and other corporate  records
periodically  (and not less  than  once in each  calendar  quarter)  in order to
determine  whether the Holder is or shall have become,  directly or  indirectly,
the owner of record of more than such  percentage  of any class of the Company's
equity securities (as defined in the Exchange Act) as shall cause such Holder to
be required to make any filing or declarations to the Company, the Commission or
any  securities  exchange  or  inter-dealer  quotation  system  pursuant  to the
provisions  of the  Exchange  Act or  the  rules  and  regulations  of any  such
securities  exchange or  inter-dealer  quotation  system.  The Company will give
prompt  notice to the Holder  whenever it shall have so  determined,  but in any
event  not  less  than  quarterly,  and  such  notice  shall  also  specify  the
information upon which the Company bases such determination; provided, that, the
Company  shall be  required to give such notice only once in each fiscal year to
the Holder if its  percentage  of  ownership of record of the  Company's  equity
securities  has not changed  since the date that the last such notice was given.
Nothing  contained  in this  paragraph  (c) of Section 8 be  construed  so as to
qualify or limit any reporting obligation of the Holder under the Exchange Act.

                  9.  NOTIFICATION BY THE COMPANY

                  In case at any time:

     (i) the Company shall declare any dividend or any other  distribution  upon
its Common Stock;

     (ii) the Company  shall offer for  subscription  pro rata to the holders of
its Common Stock any additional  shares of stock of any class or any Convertible
Securities or Options;

         (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company shall authorize any capital
reorganization  or  reclassification  of the capital stock of the Company,  or a
sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,  or
a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person;

     (iv)  actions  or  proceedings  shall  be  authorized  or  commenced  for a
voluntary or involuntary dissolution,  liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
or

         (v) the  Company  shall  propose  to take any other  action  that would
require a vote of the Company's  stockholders;  then, in any one or more of such
cases, the Company shall give written notice to the Holder, at the earliest time
legally  practicable  (and to the extent legally  practicable  and to the extent
determined  as of such  time),  not less than 30 days  before any record date or
other date set for definitive  action) of the date on which (A) the books of the
Company  shall close or a record shall be taken with  respect to such  dividend,
distribution, subscription rights or Options or (B) such

                                     - 20 -

<PAGE>



reorganization,   reclassification,  sale,  conveyance,  consolidation,  merger,
dissolution,  liquidation,  winding-up  or other  action  shall take place or be
voted on by the  stockholders  of the  Company,  as the case may be. Such notice
shall also  specify the date as of which the  holders of Common  Stock of record
shall participate in said dividend, distribution, subscription rights or Options
or shall be entitled to exchange  their  Common  Stock for  securities  or other
property   deliverable  upon  such   reorganization,   reclassification,   sale,
conveyance,  consolidation,  merger, dissolution,  liquidation or winding-up, as
the case may be. If the action in  question or the record date is subject to the
effectiveness  of a  registration  statement  under the  Securities  Act or to a
favorable vote of  stockholders,  the notice required by this Section 9 shall so
state.

                  10. LIMITATION ON EXERCISE

                  Notwithstanding  any other provision hereof,  the Holder shall
not be entitled to exercise the Warrants if, as a result of such  exercise,  the
Holder would own, control or have power to vote a greater quantity of securities
of any kind  issued by the  Company  than the Holder  shall be  ermitted to own,
control or have the power to vote under any law or under any regulation, rule or
other  requirement or any  governmental  authority at any time applicable to the
Holder.  For purposes of this Section 10, a written  statement of the Holder, to
the effect that the Holder is legally  entitled to  exercise  Warrants  and that
such  purchase  of the  Warrant  Shares  purchasable  upon the  exercise of such
Warrants will not violate the prohibitions set forth in the preceding  sentence,
shall be  sufficient  evidence of the  legality  thereof and shall  obligate the
Company to deliver certificates  representing the Warrant Shares so purchased in
accordance with the other provisions  hereof unless the Company shall reasonably
disagree as to the accuracy of any material portion of such written statement.

                  11. NO VOTING RIGHTS; LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

                  The Warrants  will not entitle the Holder to any voting rights
or other rights as a stockholder  of the Company.  No provision  hereof,  in the
absence of affirmative  action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Shares,  and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to
any  liability  of the Holder  for any  portion  of the  Purchase  Price or as a
stockholder of the Company.

                  12. DATE OF ISSUANCE

                  The date the Company  initially  issues the  Warrants  will be
deemed to be the "Date of  Issuance"  thereof and of each new Warrant  issued in
xchange, transfer or replacement thereof,  regardless of the number of times new
certificates   representing  the  unexplored  and  unexercised  rights  formerly
represented by this Warrant Certificate shall be issued.

                  13. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

                  Except as otherwise  provided  herein,  the  provisions of the
Warrant  Certificates  may be amended and the  Company  may take  action  herein
prohibited,  or omit to perform any act herein  required to be  performed by it,
only if the Company has obtained the prior  written  consent of the holders of a
majority  of the  "Warrant  Shares"  then  outstanding  under all of the Warrant
Certificates  (determined  on an  as-converted  basis),  or,  in the case of any
amendment to, or action

                                     - 21 -

<PAGE>



prohibited  or required  under,  Section 5.3,  5.4,  5.5, 5.6, 5.8 or 5.9 of any
Warrant Certificate,  the holders of a majority of the "Registrable  Securities"
under all of the Warrant  Certificates  (determined on an  as-converted  basis);
provided,  that,  changes that are detrimental to the Holder in (i) the Purchase
Price,  (ii) the number of or class of securities  issuable upon the exercise of
Warrants,  (iii) the conversion adjustment provisions set forth in Section 7 and
(iv) the indemnification  and contribution  provisions set forth in Section 5.7,
shall not be made as to the Holder without the consent of the Holder.

                  14. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES

                  The Company shall not be required to is ue stock  certificates
representing  fractions  of  shares of Common  Stock,  but may at its  option in
respect  of any final  fraction  of a share  make a payment in cash based on the
then effective Purchase Price.

                  15. RESERVATION OF SHARES

                  The Company will authorize,  reserve and keep available at all
times,  free from  preemptive  rights,  a sufficient  number of shares of Common
Stock or other  securities,  if so  required,  to satisfy  the  exercise  of the
Warrants

                  16. NOTICES

                  All  notices,  requests,  consents  and  other  communications

Certificate  are  inserted  for  convenience  only and  shall be  deemed  not to
constitute a part of this Warran Certificate.

                  18. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION

                  This Warrant  Certificate  shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance  with,  the laws of the State of New York,  without  regard to the
principles of conflicts of laws of such State. If any action or proceeding shall
be brought by the Holder in order to enforce any right or  obligation in respect

Securities,   all  of  the  "Warrants,"   "Warrant   Shares"  and   "Registrable
Securities," as the case may be, under all of the Warrant  Certificates  held by
the "Original  Holders"  thereof and their  respective  successors and permitted
assigns shall be included when making such calculation.

                  21. REPRESENTATIONS OF ORIGINAL HOLDER

investor"  as such term is defined in the R le 501(c) of  Regulation D under the

Prepayment of Loans Made by Bennett Management
and Development Corp.
---------------------

                  On  December  26,   1996,   the   Registrant's   wholly  owned
subsidiary,  Mountaineer  Park,  Inc.  ("Mountaineer"),   prepaid  in  full  the
outstanding  $8,711,273.16  balance  of a  construction  loan  made  by  Bennett
Management and Development Corp. of Syracuse, New York ("Bennett").  The Bennett
loan, which was in the original  principal amount of $10.2 million and was drawn
in 1994 and 1995 pursuant to a June 27, 1994  Construction  Loan  Agreement,  as
later  amended,  was  secured by a first  priority  credit line deed of trust on
Mountaineer's  real property and a perfected  security  interest  evidenced by a
UCC-1 Financing Statement with respect to its personal property.

                  The Bennett loan  required  Mountaineer  on January 2, 1997 to
pay Bennett either $500,000 in cash or $750,000 worth of the Registrant's common
stock if the loan was not prepaid by January 1, 1997.  Prior to a September  19,
1996 amendment of the Construction  Loan Agreement,  which was effective October
31,  1996,  the  January 2 payment  would  have been $2.5  million  worth of the
Registrant's  common stock.  The prepayment  permitted  Mountaineer to avoid the
January  2  payment.  Bennett  has  delivered  releases  of  the  liens  against
Mountaineer's real and personal  property.  The prepayment was from the proceeds
of a new $11.1 million loan discussed below.

                  Pursuant  to  the  Bennett  Construction  Loan  Agreement,  as
amended, for a period commencing upon prepayment and terminating at the close of
business  (Eastern Time) ten (10) business days  thereafter,  the Registrant has
the  option  to  repurchase  all (but not part) of the  1,530,000  shares of the
Registrant's  common stock  previously  issued to Bennett in connection with the
loan for a price per share equal to 90% of the average  closing bid price of the
Shares as  reported  by Nasdaq  for the twenty  (20)  consecutive  trading  days
immediately  preceding the date of prepayment,  but in no event less than $1.125
per share (the "Repurchase Option").

                  In consideration of the efforts of Meyer, Duffey & Associates,
a New York  consulting  and investment  firm, in  introducing  the Registrant to
potential  sources of  permanent  financing  from  commercial  bank  lenders for
Mountaineer  (though no transactions  have been consummated with respect to such
financing  and,  indeed,  no  substantive  negotiations  have  commenced),   the
Registrant may assign the Repurchase Option to Meyer, Duffey & Associates.

$11.1 Million Loan and $5,376,500 Revolving Line of Credit
----------------------------------------------------------

                  On December 26, 1996,  Mountaineer borrowed $11.1 million from
Madeleine  L.L.C.  of New York,  New York,  which had provided  Mountaineer a $5
million second mortgage loan on July 2, 1996, enabling Mountaineer to prepay the
Bennett loan. The total loan of $16.1 million, which is governed by the parties'
Amended and  Restated  Term Loan  Agreement  and Amended  and  Restated  General
Security Agreement, is evidenced by
Mountaineer's  Promissory  Note and is secured by a first  priority  Credit Line
Deed of Trust with  respect  to  Mountaineer's  real  property  and a  perfected
security interest  evidenced by a UCC-1 Financing  Statement with respect to its
personal property.

                  The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and calls
for payments of interest  only with the principal due at the end of a three-year
term. The loan is guaranteed by the Registrant. As part of the transaction,  the
Registrant  has agreed to issue the lender,  over a period of  thirteen  months,
550,000  shares of the  Registrant's  common  stock and  warrants to purchase an
additional  1,632,140  shares for $1.06 per share. A further fee of $888,000 (8%
of the loan amount) is due on July 2, 1997,  but will be waived by the lender if
the loan has been  prepaid  prior to that  date.  In that  event,  however,  the
Registrant has agreed to pay a fee of approximately  $250,000 to Bridge Capital,
L.L.C., which arranged the transaction. If not prepaid by November 15, 1997, the
loan is also subject to annual fees of stock,  cash,  and warrants.  Annual fees
with respect to the $5 million loan made in July of 1996 have been deferred from
July 2 to November 15, 1997.

                  The shares and warrants, as well as the warrants issued to the
lender in  connection  with the $5 million  loan made in July,  are  entitled to
protection from dilution in certain circumstances.  The Registrant has agreed to
register the shares and  warrants  for public sale  pursuant to the terms of the
warrants and the Registration  Rights Agreement entered July 2, 1996.  Amendment
No. 1 to Registration Rights Agreement, which was entered in connection with the
transaction,  limits  the  lender's  right to  demand  registration  to once per
calendar year absent default by Mountaineer or the Registrant, prepayment of the
loan, or a change in control of the Registrant.

                  The  Registrant   will  use  the  net  proceeds  of  the  loan
(approximately  $2.4 million  after  prepayment  of the Bennett loan and certain
costs of the  transaction)  for  further  improvements  at  Mountaineer  and for
general  corporate  purposes.  Specific  projects  under  consideration  are the
construction  of a convention  facility,  expansion of the 101 room  Mountaineer
Lodge,  construction  of a  bowling  alley,  a second  addition  to the  popular
Speakeasy Gaming Saloon, the purchase of additional video slot machines, and the
construction of a production facility capable of broadcasting Mountaineer's live
racing product to other racetracks and off track wagering facilities, though all
such proposals are subject to, among other things,  approval by the Registrant's
board of directors and any applicable  governmental  approvals.  There can be no
assurances, however, that all or any of the projects under consideration will be
undertaken.

                  Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement,  the
lender also  provided  Mountaineer a $5,376,500  revolving  line of credit to be
used for capital improvements,  the acquisition of equipment and/or other gaming
businesses,  or the  acquisition of properties for use in the gaming and lottery
businesses consistent with the current business of Mountaineer.
Borrowing  under the line of credit  is  conditioned  upon (i)
compliance with all loan documents;  (ii)  affirmation that all prior warranties
and representations  remain true; (iii) submission of a notice of borrowing that
is for a sum not less than $500,000 and which contains a detailed description of
the use of proceeds;  and (iv)  maintenance by Mountaineer  for the six calendar
months preceding the date of the notice of borrowing (at Mountaineer's election,
exclusive of the months of December  and January) a monthly  average of $750,000
in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

                  Loans under the line of credit bear interest at 15% per annum.
In connection  with the line of credit,  Mountaineer has agreed to pay an annual
fee of $376,500,  the first of which is payable over 13 months.  The  Registrant
has agreed to guarantee any loans made under the line of credit.

                  SECTION 2.01. Term Commitment. The Lender agrees, on the terms
and conditions here nafter set forth, to make the Term Loan to the Borrower in a
principal amount not to exceed the Term Commitment.  Any principal amount of the

                  SECTION  2.02.  Making the Term  Loan.  The Term Loan shall be
made by the Lender to the Borrower in two loan tranches.  The first loan tranche

execute a  "Settlement  Statement" or "Use of Proceeds"  which shall  constitute
prima facie evidence as to the terms of the borrowing. On the Final Term Funding

hereof,  the Lender will make  available the requested  Tranche B portion of the
Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount not to exceed  $11,100,000  by delivering

Borrower.  The Term Loan amount may be  increased to provide for the funding and

accrue  thereafter.  The books and  records of the Lender  shall be  presumptive
evidence of the amount of Obligations  under the Term Loan outstanding from time
to time,  whether in excess of the  principal  amount of the Original Term Note,
the Term Note or otherwise, absent manifest error.
                  SECTION 2.03.         Term Loan Interest.

be payable monthly, in arrears, on the last day of each month, commencing

                  SECTION 2.06. Optional Prepayment of the Term Loan. Subject to
Sections  4.05 and 4.06 hereof,  the Borrower  may, on the same  Business  Day's
telephone  notice no later  than  11:00  A.M.  (New York  City  time)  (promptly
confirmed in writing) prepay without cost or penalty,  the outstanding amount of
the Term  Loan in whole or in part  with  accrued  interest  to the date of such

the Lender prior written notice in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto (a
"Notice of Line  Borrowing")  no later  than 11:00 A.M.  (New York City time) at
least two Business Days prior to each proposed Line Loan borrowing.  Such Notice
of Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify the principal amount of

shall be at least  $500,000.00,  and the proposed  borrowing  date:  and (i) the
Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith and (ii) the
Lender shall be required to make the Line Loan  requested in such Notice of Line
Borrowing in  accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement.  The Lender may act
without  liability  upon the basis of written  notice  believed by the Lender in
good faith to be from the Borrower (or from any officer  thereof  designated  in
writing  to the  Lender),  and the Loan  Parties  shall  execute  a  "Settlement
Statement" or "Use of Proceeds" which shall  constitute  prima facie evidence as
to the  terms  of such  borrowing.  On the  Final  Term  Funding  Date  and upon
fulfillment  of the  applicable  conditions  set forth in Article V hereof,  the
Lender will make available the requested Line Loans to the Borrower in an amount
not to exceed  the Line  Commitment  by  delivering  the  proceeds  thereof,  in
immediately  available  funds  (either in the form of a certified  bank check or
wire transfer) less the Line Fees and expenses then due and payable, if any, due
under Sections  4.01(a) and 9.04 hereof.  The Borrower shall execute and deliver
to the Lender,  on the Final Term  Funding  Date,  the Line Note  payable to the
order of the Lender to evidence  the Line Loans in the  principal  amount of the
Line  Commitment.  The outstanding  amount of the Line Loans may be increased to
provide for the funding and payment of the Lender's  fees and costs  incurred in
connection  with the Line Loans,  together with interest due thereon,  which are
unpaid as of the Termination  Date and which accrue  thereafter.  The records of
the Lender shall be presumptive  evidence of the amount of Obligations under the
Line  Loans  outstanding  from time to time  whether  in  excess of the  initial
principal amount of the Line Note or otherwise, absent manifest error.

                  SECTION 3.03.         Line Loan Interest.

                           (a) Loans.  Each Line Loan shall bear interest on the

principal amount of each Line Loan  shall be  payable  monthly,  in  arrears, on

             FEES, PAYMENTS, DEFAULT INTEREST AND OTHER COMPENSATION

                  SECTION 4.01.         Fees and Other Consideration.  The fees

Old Agreement.

                           (a) Loan Fees.  On July 2, 1997, the Borrower shall
pay to the Lender, in immediately available funds, a non-refundable fee of
$888,000; provided, however, that if there has occurred a Refinance

                                     - 11 -
prior to July 2, 1997,  the foregoing fee shall be waived by the Lender.  On the
Final Term Funding Date,  the Borrower  shall pay to the Lender,  in immediately
available funds, a  non-refundable  fee of $376,350.00 (the "Initial Line Fee");
provided,  however,  that the  Borrower  may elect to pay such fee in 13 monthly
installments,  the first  installment  in the amount of $28,950.00 to be due and
payable on the Final Term Funding Date , and the remaining twelve  installments,
each in the amount of $28,950.00, to be due and payable in immediately available

of $376,350.  The Borrower hereby  instructs the Lender,  commencing  January 1,
1998,  to  withhold  the Line  Fees  from the Line  Commitment  in  satisfaction
thereof,  and the  amount  so  withheld  shall be a Line  Loan for all  purposes
hereunder.

                           (b) Administration Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to
the Lender, on each anniversary of the Final Term Funding Date, in immediately
available funds, a non-refundable fee equal to 8% of the outstanding  principal
amount of the Term Loan as of the date of such anniversary; provided, however,
that on the first such anniversary, such fee shall equal 8% of the  outstanding
principal  balance of the Tranche A portion of the Term Loan only.

                           (c) Audit and Collateral Monitoring Fees.  The
Borrower shall pay to the Lender on each anniversary of the Effective Date, the
costs and expenses  incurred by the Lender in  connection  with  the  periodic
collateral appraisals  and audit reviews performed by or on behalf of the Lender
in such year; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has
occurred  and is  continuing,  the  Borrower's obligation  under this Subsection
3.01(c) shall be limited to $25,000 for each 365 (or 366, as applicable) day
period following the Effective Date.

                           (d) Common Stock.

commencing November  15,  1997,  until all of the  amounts  due to the  Lender
(including, without limitation, all principal, interest, fees  (whether due in
cash, in Common Stock, in Warrants or in kind),  expe ses and  indemnities) in
connection with the Term Loan (the "Term Loan Payments") have been satisfied  in
full, deliver to the Lender Stock  Certificates,  in such  denominations as the
Lender may request,  validly  issued to the Lender or its designee, representing
the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the product of
(A) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan on the day of such
delivery and (B) 5%, and (ii) the average daily closing price of the Common
Stock on each Business Day, as reported in a publication of generally recognized
standing in the  securities  industry,  for the 30 Business Days  immediately
preceding the third Business Day prior to such November 15; and

                           (ii)     On the Final Term Funding Date, deliver to
the Lender Stock Certificates, in such  denominations as the Lender may request,
validly issued to the  Lender or its  designee,  representing  550,000 shares of
Common Stock; provided,  however, that the Borrower may elect to issue and
deliver such shares in 13  installments,  the first such  installment  to be
delivered on the Final Term Funding Date in the amount of 42,316 shares of
Common Stock,  and the remaining 12 installments of 42,307 shares of Common

                                     - 12 -
Stock to be  delivered  on the first day of each  calendar  month  beginning  on

designee only upon the payment by the Lender to the Guarantor of an amount equal
to the  product of (i) the par value of the Common  Stock and (ii) the number of
shares of Common  Stock to be  issued;  provided,  further,  that the  number of
shares of Common Stock of the Guarantor to be received by the Lender pursuant to
Section  4.01(d)(i)(II)  after the Final Term Funding Date shall, subject to the
provisions  of Section 7 of the  Warrants  which  relate to  limitations  on the
Lender's right to anti-dilution  protection, be adjusted to the extent necessary
to insure that the Lender will  receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal
in percentage to the percentage of the Common Stock (on a  fully-diluted  basis)
that such  shares  represent  of the Common  Stock of the  Guarantor  issued and
outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis) on the Final Term Funding Date.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if (i) an Event of Default has
occurred,  (ii) the  Obligations  relating  to the Term Loan have been repaid in
full, (iii) any single Person, group of Affiliated Persons, or Affiliate thereof

Stock,  or (iv) the  Guarantor  merges or  becomes  consolidated  with any other
Person in a transaction in which the Guarantor is not the surviving  entity,  or
sells all or s bstantially  all of its assets,  then the Guarantor shall deliver
to the Lender all of the shares of Common  Stock due to the Lender  pursuant  to
paragraph 4.01(d)(ii) above upon demand by the Lender.

                  If the  issuance of shares to the Lender would result in a put
obligation (the "Put") pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Stock Transfer Agreement,
then the maximum number of shares that may be issued without  resulting in a Put
shall be issued to the Lender as hereinabove  set forth,  and the Borrower shall
issue to the Lender Warrants for the purchase of the remaining  shares due to be
issued  to the  Lender  hereunder  with an  Exercise  Price (as  defined  in the
Warrant)  equal to the par value of the Common  Stock.  Each  Stock  Certificate
issued hereunder shall bear the following legend:

         "The Shares represented by this certificate have not been registered or
qualified  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  or the "blue sky" laws
of any  state,  and may be  offered  or sold only if  registered  and  qualified
pursuant to the relevant  provisions of federal and state securities laws, or if
an exemption from such  registration  or  qualification  is applicable,  upon an
opinion of counsel to the issuer that such transfer will not violate any federal
or state securities laws applicable thereto."

                  The parties  hereto agree that,  for income tax purposes,  the
purchase  price to be  attributed  to the shares of Common  Stock  issued to the
Lender hereunder on the date hereof is $___________________.

                  (e) Warrants.  (i) The Guarantor shall, on each November 15,
commencing November 15, 1997, until all of the Term Loan Payments have been
satisfied in full, issue and deliver to the Lender or its designee validly

                         (I)  250,000 shares of Common Stock with an Expiration
Date (as defined in the Warrant) of five years from the date of issuance of such
Warrant, and an Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) equal to $1.06, and 

                         (II) shares of Common Stock, with an Expiration Date of
five years from the date of issuance, for an Exercise Price (as defined in the
Warrant) equal to the average daily closing price of the Common Stock on each
Business Day, as reported in a publication  of generally  recognized standing in
the securities industry, for the 30 Business Days immediately preceding the
third Business Day prior to the Final Term Funding Date, rounded to the nearest
penny, and for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (A)
the product of (x) a fraction,  the numerator of which is the Exercise Price and
the denominator of which is 1.06,  and (y)  550,000,  and (B) the  quotient of
(x) the  outstanding principal amount  of  the  Term  Loan  on the  day of  such
delivery  and  (y) $16,100,000;

                           (ii)  On the Final Term Funding Date, the Guarantor
shall issue and deliver to the Lender or its designee  validly issued  Warrants,
for the  purchase of 1,632,140  shares of Common Stock, with an  Expiration Date
(as defined in the Warrant) of five  years  from  the date of  issuance  of such
Warrant,  and an Exercise  Price (as defined in the Warrant) equal to $1.06;
provided,  however, that the  Borrower  may elect to issue and  deliver  such
Warrants  in 13 equal installments (provided that the first installment may be
increased such that the remaining twelve installments shall be for a non-
fractional number of Warrants), the first such  installment  to be  delivered on
the Final Term Funding Date and the remaining 12 installments to be delivered on
the first day of each calendar month beginning on January 1, 1997, and ending on
December 1, 1997.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if (i) an Event of Default has
occurred,  (ii) the  Obligations  relating  to the Term Loan have been repaid in
full, (iii) any single Person,  group of affiliated Persons or Affiliate thereof

Lender all of the Warrants due to the Lender  pursuant to paragraph  4.01(e)(ii)
above upon demand by the Lender.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  to the extent that there shall
occur at any time,  pri r to any such issuance of Warrants,  any event of a type
that would require adjustment of the number of shares issuable upon the exercise

to the extent that such Warrants  already had been issued,  the number of shares
to be issued under such Warrant, and the Exercise Price thereof,  shall prior to

such  adjusted  number of shares  issuable  pursuant  to a Warrant  and any such
adjusted  Exercise  Price shall be  reflected  in the Warrant at the time of the
issuance thereof.

                                     - 13 -
The parties  hereto agree that,  for income tax purposes,  the
purchase price to be attributed to the Warrants  issued to the Lender  hereunder
on the date hereof is $_____________.

                  SECTION  4.02.  Payments and  Computations.  The Borrower will
make each payment under the Loan Documents to wh ch it is a party not later than
2:30  P.M.  (New York City  time) on the day when  due,  in lawful  money of the
United States of America and in immediately  available  funds,  to the Lender at
the Payment Office,  or at such other place or to such account as the Lender may
designate by notice to the Borrower.  All payments shall be made by the Borrower
without defense,  set-off or counterclaim to the Lender. Subject to Section 8.01
below,  all  interest,  fees,  costs and  expenses  for which  the  Borrower  is
obligated under any Loan Document shall, if not timely paid by the Borrower,  be
added to the principal amount of the Loan and the Borrower hereby authorizes the
Lender to, and the Lender may, from time to time,  increase the principal amount
of the  Loan by any such  amounts  due  under  any Loan  Document  to which  the
Borrower is a party. The Borrower  confirms that any addition to principal which
the  Lender  so  makes  to the  Loan  as  herein  provided  will  be  made as an
accommodation  to the Borrower and solely at the Lender's  discretion.  Whenever
any payment to be made under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due on
a day  other  than a  Business  Day,  such  payment  shall  be made on the  next
succeeding  Business  Day and  such  extension  of time  shall  in such  case be
included in the  computation of interest and fees. All  computations of interest
under this  Agreement  and any other Loan Document and all fees shall be made by
the  Lender  on the  basis of a year of 360 days for the  actual  number of days
occurring in the period for which such interest is payable;  provided,  however,
that  with  respect  to any date on which  the  Borrower  makes a  repayment  or
prepayment  of  principal,  interest in respect of such  principal  repayment or
prepayment amount shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable
but  excluding  the day on which such  repayment or  prepayment  of principal is
made. In no event shall prior recourse to any  Collateral be a  prerequisite  to
the Lender's right to demand  payment of any  Obligation.  The Lender's  records
kept in the ordinary  course of its business shall be presumed to be correct and
shall  constitute  prima facie evidence of the amount owing or paid with respect
to any Obligation, absent manifest error.

                  SECTION 4.03.  Taxes. (a) If the Borrower shall be required by
any  applicable  law, rule or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or
in respect of any amount payable hereunder, then (i) the amount so payable shall
be  increased  to the  extent  necessary  so  that  after  making  all  required
deductions and  withholdings  (including  Taxes on amounts payable to the Lender
pursuant to this  sentence)  the Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such  deductions or  withholdings  been made, (ii)

difference between (i) the Taxes required to be paid by the Lender, and (ii) the
amount, if any, of the  reduction  of the Lender's  tax  liability  to any other
taxing  authority resulting from the payment of such Taxes;  provided,  however,
that in no event shall the Lender be required  to pay to the  Borrower an amount
in excess of the amount paid by the Borrower to the Lender pursuant to this
paragraph 4.03(b).

to, or concurrently with, such principal payment.

                  SECTION  4.06.  Refinance of Term Loan.  In the event that the
Borrower  receives a bona fide offer from a third  party to  refinance  the Term
Loan on terms more favorable than the ongoing terms contained herein  applicable

notice to the Lender from the  Borrower  that the  Borrower has agreed to accept
such Refinance:

                  (a) the Borrower shall pay to the Lender all of the Term
Obligations;

                  (b)  upon  receipt  of  payment  in  full  of all of the  Term
Obligations,  the Borrower and the Lender shall execute,  and the Borrower shall
duly record, such documents,  instruments and agreements,  in form and substance
satisfactory  to the Lender and i s counsel,  such that the Lender  shall have a

Refinance up to a maximum amount of $16,100,000,  any then-existing  lien senior
to the First  Priority Deed of Trust and such other Liens as the Lender,  in its
sole discretion, may agree to in writing.

                  The Borrowe hereby acknowledges and agrees that all reasonable
fees,  costs,  expenses  and taxes  incurred  by or on  behalf of the  Lender in
connection with its obligations under this Section 4.06 are Transaction Costs.

COUNTERCLAIM  SHALL BE TRIED  BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.  EACH OF THE
BORROWER  AND THE  GUARANTOR  HEREBY  WAIVES  ANY  RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR
RECOVER IN ANY  ACTION,  PROCEEDING  OR  COUNTERCLAIM  ANY  SPECIAL,  EXEMPLARY,
PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL  DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO,

REPRESENTATIVE,  AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE LENDER HAS  REPRESENTED,  EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE,  THAT THE LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM,  SEEK TO ENFORCE  THE  FOREGOING  WAIVERS.  THE  BORROWER  AND THE

                                     - 41 -
SECTION 9.12.  Reinstatement;  Certain Payments. If a claim is
ever made upon the Lender for  repayment  or  recovery  of any amount or amounts
received by the Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations  under
this  Agreements,  the  Lender  shall  give  prompt  notice of such claim to the
Borrower,  and if the Lender  repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i)
any j  dgment,  decree  or order  of any  court or  administrative  body  having
jurisdiction  over the Lender or any of its property,  or (ii) any settlement or
compromise of any such claim effected by the Lender with any such claimant, then
and in such  event  the  Borrower  and the  Guarantor  (A)  agree  that any such
judgment,  decree,  order,  settlement or  compromise  shall be binding upon the
Borrower and the Guarantor notwithstanding the cancellation of any Note or other
instrument  evidencing  the  Obligations  under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,  and
(B) shall be and remain liable to the Lender  hereunder for the amount so repaid
or  recovered  to the same  extent as if such amount had never  originally  been
received by the Lender.

                  SECTION  9.13.  Indemnification.  In  addition to all of their
other Obligations  under this Agreement,  the Borrower and the Guarantor jointly
and severally  agree to defend,  prote t, indemnify and hold harmless the Lender
and any assignee of the Lenders rights  hereunder,  and all of their  respective
officers, directors,  employees,  attorneys,  consultants and agents (including,
without  limitation,  those  retained in  connection  with the  satisfaction  or
attempted  satisfaction  of any of the conditions  set forth in this  Agreement)
(collectively  called the  "Indemnitees")  from and  against any and all losses,
damages,   liabilities,   obligations,   penalties,  fees,  costs  and  expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) incurred by
such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Effective Date, whether
direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to
any suit, investigation,  action or proceeding by any Person, whether threatened
or initiated,  asserting a claim for any legal or equitable  remedy  against any
Person  under any statute or  regulation,  including,  without  limitation,  any
Federal or state securities or labor laws, or under any Federal,  state or local
environmental,  health or safety laws,  regulations  or, common law  principles,
arising from or in connection with the past, present or future operations of the
Borrower or its predecessors in interest, arising from or in connection with any
of the following: (i) the negotiation,  preparation, execution or performance of
this Agreement or of any document  executed in connection with the  transactions
contemplated  by this  Agreement,  (ii) the Lender's  furnishing of funds to the
Borrower under this Agreement,  including, without limitation, the management of
the  Loans,  or  (iii)  any  matter  relating  to  the  financing   transactions
contemplated  by this Agreement or by any document  executed in connection  with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively,  the "Indemnified
Matters");  provided, however, that the Borrower and the Guarantor shall have no
obligation to any Indemnitee  hereunder for any Indemnified  Matter caused by or
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as
determined  by a final  judgment  of a court  of  competent  jurisdiction.  Such
indemnification  for all of the  foregoing  losses,  damages,  fees,  costs  and
expenses of the Lender shall be part of the  Obligations  in respect of the Term
Loan  (the  "Term  Obligations"),  secured  by the  Collateral  and added to the
principal amount of the Term Loan; provided,  further, however, that if the Term
Loan has been paid in full,  then all of the foregoing  losses,  damages,  fees,
costs and expenses of the Lender shall be part of the Line Obligations,  secured
by the  Collateral and added to the principal  amount of the Line Loans.  To the
extent that the

                                     - 42 -
undertaking  to indemnify,  pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.13
may be  unenforceable  because it is violative of any law or public policy,  the
Borrower and the  Guarantor  shall  contribute  the maximum  portion which it is
permitted  to  pay  and  satisfy  under  applicable  law,  to  the  payment  and
satisfaction  of  all  Indemnified  Matters  incurred  by the  Indemnitees.  The
provisions of this Section 9.13 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

                                    GUARANTY

                  SECTION  10.01.  Guaranty.  the  Guarantor,   and  each  other
Guarantor that may become party hereto,  hereby (i) irrevocably,  absolutely and
unconditionally  guarantees  the  prompt  payment,  as and when due and  payab e
(whether by scheduled maturity,  required  prepayment,  acceleration,  demand or
otherwise),  of (A) all the  Obligations,  including,  without  limitation,  all
amounts now or  hereafter  owing in respect of the Loan  Documents,  whether for
principal,  interest,  fees,  expenses or otherwise,  and (B) all  indebtedness,
obligations and other liabilities,  direct or indirect,  absolute or contingent,
now existing or hereafter arising of the Borrower to the Lender and (ii) agrees,
to pay any and all expenses  (including  reasonable  counsel fees and  expenses)
incurred  by the Lender in  enforcing  its  rights  under  this  Agreement,  the
Guarantee and each other Loan Document.

                  SECTION 10.02.        Obligations Unconditional.

     (i) the uarantor  and each other  Guarantor  that may become party  hereto,
hereby  guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Documents,  regardless of any law, regulation or order now
or hereafter in effect in any  jurisdiction  affecting  any of such terms or the
rights  of the  Lender  with  respect  thereto.  the  Guarantor  and each  other
Guarantor  agrees that its guarantee  constitutes a guaranty of payment when due
and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by
the Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance
of any  deposit  account  or credit  on the books of the  Lender in favor of the
Borrower or for any other reason.  The liability of the Guarantor and each other
Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any
lack of validity or  enforceability  of any Loan  Document or any  agreement  or
instrument relating thereto; (ii) any extension or change in the time, manner or
place of  payment  of, or in any other  term in  respect  of,  all or any of the
Obligations  (including,  without limitation,  any extension for longer than the
original  period),  or any  other  amendment  or  waiver  of or  consent  to any
departure from any provision of any Loan Document; (iii) any exchange or release
of, or non-perfection of any lien on or security interest in, any Collateral, or
any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any other
guaranty,  for all or any of the  Obligations;  or (iv) any  other  circumstance
which might otherwise  constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the
Borrower or any other  Guarantor in respect of the  Obligations or the Guarantor
and each other Guarantor in respect hereof.

                                     - 43 -
(ii) This  Guaranty (i) is a  continuing  guaranty and shall remain in full
force and effect until such date on which all of the  Obligations  and all other
expenses  to be paid by the  Guarantor  or any other  Guarantor  pursuant he eto
shall  have  been  satisfied  in full  after  the  Commitment  shall  have  been
terminated,  (ii) shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated,  as the
case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the  Obligations  is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by the Lender upon the  insolvency,  bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise,  all as though such payment had not
been made, and (iii) shall be binding upon the Guarantor, any other Guarantor or
their respective heirs, executors, successors and assigns.

                  SECTION 10.03.  Waivers.  The Guarantor hereby waives,  to the
extent permitted by applicable law, (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of
acceptance and notice of the incurrence of any  Obligation,  (iii) no ice of any
action taken by the Lender or the Borrower or any other  agreement or instrument
relating thereto,  (iv) all other notices,  demands and protests,  and all other
formalities of every kind in connection  with the enforcement of the Obligations
or of the obligations of the Guarantor and each other Guarantor  hereunder,  the
omission of or delay in which,  but for the  provisions  of this Section  10.03,
might  constitute  grounds for relieving the Guarantor or any other Guarantor of
its  obligations  hereunder,  and (v) any  requirement  that the Lender protect,
secure,  perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject
thereto  or  exhaust  any right or take any  action  against  any  Person or any
Collateral.  All such waivers by the  Guarantor  shall be effective  only to the
extent permitted by applicable law.

                  SECTION 10.04.  Subrogation.  The Guarantor  hereby waives and
agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subro
ation hereunder, by any payment made by it hereunder or otherwise. If the amount
shall be paid to the  Guarantor  or such  other  Guarantor  on  account  of such
subrogation  rights  at any time  when  all of such  Obligations  and all  other
Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the Lender,  shall be segregated  from the other funds of the
Guarantor or such other Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid over to the Lender
to be applied in whole or in part by the Lender against the Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 10.05. No Waiver;  Remedies. No failure on the part of
the Lender to exercise,  and no delay in exercising,  any right  hereunder shall
operate as a waiver  thereof;  nor shall any single or partial  exercise  of any
right hereunder  preclude any other or further  exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right. The remedies herein provided re cumulative and not exclusive
of any remedy provided by law.

                                     - 44 -
SECTION 10.06.        Taxes.

     (a) Each payment by the Guarantor  under this Loan Agreement  shall be made
without  withholding  for or on account of any present or future taxes,  levies,
imposts, deductions,  charges or withholdings,  and all liabilities with respect
thereto,  excluding, in the case of the Lender, taxes imposed on its income, and
franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction (or any political  subdivision
thereof) under the laws of which the Lender is organized  (all such  nonexcluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,  charges, withholdings and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes"); provided, however, that if such Other
Taxes are required by law to be withheld  from any such  payment,  the Guarantor
shall make such  withholding for the account of the Lender,  make timely payment
thereof to the  appropriate  governmental  authority,  and forthwith pay for the
account of the Lender such  additional  amount as may be necessary so that after
making all required deductions  (including  deductions  applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section  10.06.) the Lender  receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such  deductions been made. All such Other
Taxes shall be paid by the Guarantor prior to the date on which penalties attach
thereto or  interest  accrues  thereon;  provided,  however,  that,  if any such
penalties  or  interest  become due,  the  Guarantor  shall make prompt  payment
thereof to the appropriate governmental authority.

     (b) the  Guarantor  will  indemnify the Lender for the full amount of Other
Taxes  (including any Other Taxes on amounts  payable under this Section 10.06.)
paid  by the  Lender  and  any  liability  (including  penalties,  interest  and
expenses) arising  therefrom or with respect thereto,  whether or not such Other
Taxes were correctly or legally  asserted.  This  indemnification  shall be made
within 30 days from the date the Lender makes written demand therefor.

     (c)  Within  30 days  after the date of any  payment  of Other  Taxes,  the
Guarantor  will  furnish to the Lender the  original  or a  certified  copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof.  If no Other Taxes are payable in respect of
any payment  hereunder  or under any Note,  the  Guarantor  will  furnish to the
Lender a certificate  from each appropriate  taxing a thority,  or an opinion of
counsel  acceptable  to the Lender,  in either case stating that such payment is
exempt from or not subject to Other Taxes.

                  SECTION 10.07.  Stay of  Acceleration.  If acceleration of the
time for payment of any amount  payable by any of the Borrower in respect of the
Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency,  bankruptcy or  reorganization of any
of the Borrower,  all such amounts otherwise  subject to acceleration  under the
terms of thi Agreement shall  nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor  forthwith
on demand by the Lender.

                  SECTION 10.08. Continued Effectiveness of Guaranty. The within
Guarantee is in addition to the Guaranty  contained  in the Old  Agreement  (the
"Old Guaranty"),  and, notwithstanding that the within Guaranty is a Guaranty of
all of the Obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, the Obligations
as defined in the Old  Agreement),  the Guarantor  hereby  confirms that the Old
Guaranty  is,  and shall  continue  to be, in full  force and  effect and hereby
ratifies and confirms the Old Guaranty in all respects.

                                     - 45 -
IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  parties  hereto  have  caused  this
Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized,
as of the date first above written.

rights after the date  hereof,  will be, a perfected,  first  priority  security
interest,  subject  only  to  the  security  interests  and  other  encumbrances

penalty, fine or lien resulting from the non-payment thereof and with respect to
which adequate reserves have been set aside for the payment thereof.

                  (e) Insurance.

    (i) The Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain insurance with respect to
the Equipment and  Inventory in such amounts,  against such risks,  in such form

paid on behalf of the Lender and the Grantor as their  respective  interests may
appear,  and each policy for property  damage  insurance  shall  provide for all
losses to be adjusted with, and pai directly to, the Lender; provided,  however,
that with respect to Equipment  subject to a Permitted Lien, the Lender's rights
may be subject to the rights of the  holder of such  Permitted  Lien.  Except as
required by any agreement which creates a Permitted Lien, each such policy shall
in addition  (A) name the Grantor and the Lender as insured  parties  thereunder
(without any  representation  or warranty by or  obligation  upon the Lender) as

loss  thereunder  shall be  payable to the Lender  notwithstanding  any  action,
inaction or breach of  representation  or warranty by the  Grantor,  (C) provide

reasonably  request,  a report of a reputable  insurance  broker with respect to
such  insurance.  The Grantor  will also,  at the  request of the  Lender,  duly
execute and deliver  instruments  of assignment of such  insurance  policies and
cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.

5(e) is not applicable,  the Grantor will make or cause to be made the necessary
repairs to or replacements  of such Equipment or Inventory,  and any proceeds of
insurance  maintained by the Grantor pursuant to this Section 5(e) shall be paid
to the Grantor as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.

     (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
or the actual or  constructive  total loss (in excess of $10,000 per occurrence)
of any  Equipment  or  Inventory,  all  insurance  payments  in  respect of such
Equipment or  Inventory  shall be paid to the Lender and applied as specified in

Lender is legally  entitled,  the  Grantor  shall be liable for the  deficiency,
together  with  interest  thereon at the highest rate  specified in any Note for
interest  on overdue  principal  thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by

will,  except  as  otherwise  provided  in  Article  VIII of the  Restated  Loan
Agreement, (i) at least five (5) days prior to the date on which any interest or
penalties shall commence to accrue thereon, pay, discharge and, upon the request
of Lender furnish to Lender copies of (unless originals are requested by Lender)
proper  receipts  for all  taxes,  general  and  special,  water and sewer  rent
charges,  excise levies, transit taxes, levies and assessments of every kind and
all charges for utilities and utility  services,  and which may have been or may
hereafter be charged,  assessed,  levied,  confirmed,  imposed  upon, or grow or
become due and payable out of, or in respect to, or against,  the  Property,  or
any part thereof, or any appurtenances thereto (collectively,  the Impositions),
by any lawful  authority or public utility,  or which may become a lien thereon,
unless the same shall have been fully paid to Lender as provided in subparagraph
3(b) hereof,  (ii) pay and  discharge  all  mechanics,  liens which may be filed
against said premises,  (iii) pay and discharge any documentary,  stamp or other
tax, including interest and penalties thereon, if any, now or hereafter becoming
payable  hereon,  (iv)  provide,  renew and keep alive by paying  the  necessary
premiums and charges  thereon such  policies of hazard and  liability  insurance
upon the  property  and upon the  buildings  and  improvements  now or hereafter
erected upon the Property as are required by the Lender.

     (b) Escrow by Lender.  Upon the  written  request  of  Trustees  or Lender,
Grantor  will pay or  cause to be paid to  Lender  contemporaneously  with  each
monthly payment of interest,  principal or principal and interest a sum equal to
one-twelfth  (1/12th)  of the real  estate  taxes  and  premiums  for  insurance
required by  subparagraph  3(a) hereof so as to enable Lender to pay the same at
least  thirty (30) days before they become due.  Amounts so paid shall be deemed
not to be trust funds but may at the option of Lender be commingled with general
funds of Lender. No interest shall be paid oft such amounts. If, pursuant to any
provision of this Trust Deed,  the whole amount of the principal  debt remaining
or any installment of interest,  principal or principal and interest becomes due
and payable prior to its originally  scheduled  maturity,  Lender shall have the
right,  at its  election,  to a apply  any  amounts  paid to Lender  under  this
subparagraph  3(b), with accrued interest,  thereon,  against all or any part of
the indebtedness  secured by this Trust Deed, any interest thereon or in payment
of the premiums or payments for which the amounts were paid.  If the real estate
taxes and insurance  premiums required to be escrowed pursuant to this paragraph
shall exceed the  estimate  therefor and the amounts paid into escrow under this
subparagraph  3(b),  Grantor shall on demand forthwith make good the deficiency.
Grantor will furnish to Lender tax and  insurance  bills in  sufficient  time to
enable  Lender to pay such taxes and  premiums  before  interest  and  penalties
accrue thereon.

     (c) Proof of Payment.  Unless the same shall have been fully paid to Lender
as provided in subparagraph  3(b) hereof,  Grantor,  upon the written request of
Lender,  will furnish or will cause to be furnished to Lender within thirty (30)
days  after the date when any  Impositions  would  become  delinquent,  official
receipts of the  appropriate  taxing  authority or other  authority to which the
charge  is  payable,  or  other  evidences  reasonably  satisfactory  to  Lender
evidencing the payment thereof.

     (d)  Evidence  of  Payment.  The  certificate,  or bill of the  appropriate
official  designated  by law to make or issue the same or to receive  payment of
any Imposition, of nonpayment

                                      - 6 -
of such Imposition shall be prima facie evidence that such Imposition is due and
unpaid at the time of the  making or  issuance  of such  certificate,  advice or
bill.

              5.  Risk  of  Loss;  Insurance.  Risk  of loss  or,  damage  to or
destruction  of the Property is and shall remain upon Grantor.  If Grantor fails
to effect and keep in force  insurance  covering the Property as required by the
Lender,  or fails to pay the premiums thereon when due,  Trustees or Lender upon
receipt of notice of default  may do so for the  account  of  Grantor.  Upon the
existence of an Event of Default beyond any  applicable  cure and grace periods,
Grantor  hereby  assigns  and sets over to Lender  all  monies  which may become
payable on account of all  insurance  covering  the Property  including  without
limitation any return of unearned premiums which may be due upon cancellation of
any such  insurance,  and  directs the  insurers  to pay  directly to Lender any
amount so due which  shall be  applied  to the  principal  balance  of the Note,
provided the Note is current and no Event of Default  exists subject only to the
rights of the  holder(s) of the note secured by the  Bennett-  Management  Trust
Deed.  Trustees  on  behalf of  Lender  are  hereby  irrevocably  appointed  the
attorneys-in-fact  of Grantor to endorse any draft or check which may be payable
to Grantor in order to collect the  proceeds of such  insurance or any return of
unearned  premiums  which Lender is entitled to collect under this  paragraph 4.
Lender shall apply such proceeds of all casualty  insurance in  accordance  with
the  provisions  of paragraph  16 of this Deed of Trust.  Lender may deduct from
such proceeds any expense  incurred by Lender in collecting the same  (including
reasonable counsel fees).

              6. Property Maintenance, Alterations,  Improvements. Grantor shall
maintain the Property and all buildings and improvements subject to this Deed of
Trust in good working order and condition,  ordinary wear and tear excepted, and
shall not  commit or suffer  waste.  In no event  shall  Grantor  undertake  any
alteration or addition to the Property  which reduces the economic  value of the
Property.  Lender  shall  have  the  right to enter  upon  the  Property  at any
reasonable hour and upon 24-hour notice for the purpose of inspecting the order,
condition and repair of the buildings and Improvements erected thereon.

              7. Location of Personal Property. The personal property covered by
this Trust Deed is located in Hancock  County,  West Virginia more  particularly
described  on  Exhibit A to this Deed of Trust or in  another  county in which a
priority security interest in such personal property has been granted to Lender.
Except as otherwise  permitted under the Restated Loan  Agreement,  Grantor will
not move  (except to any county in which Lender has a prior  perfected  security
interest in such items of personal property),  remove, transfer, sell, convey or
otherwise assign any of the items of personal  property included in the Property
until the Debt secured hereby is paid in full.

     8.  Compliance  with Laws.  Grantor will promptly  comply,  in all material
respects, with all present and future laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of
any governmental authority having an effect on Grantor or the Property.

     9. Further  Assurances.  Grantor will, from time to time, make, do, execute
and  acknowledge,  as may be  reasonably  necessary  such further  acts,  deeds,
conveyances,  mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, continuation
statements  and other  assurances  in law as may be required  for the purpose of
effectuating the intent hereof.

10. Failure to Pay  Impositions  and other Charges;  Protection of
Property.  Except as otherwise  provided in the Restated Loan Agreement,  in the
event  Grantor  neglects  or  refuses  to pay or cause  to be paid  the  charges
mentioned  in  paragraph  3 of this  Deed of  Trust,  or fails to  maintain  the
buildings and Improvements as aforesaid,  Lender after notice  to.Grantor may do
so, add to the Debt the cost thereof, and collect the same as part of said Debt.
Lender shall,  after the  expiration of notice and grace period  provided in the
Restated Loan Agreement,  have the power and authority to institute and maintain
any suits and  proceedings  as Lender  may deem  advisable  (a) to  prevent  any
impairment of the Property by any acts which may be unlawful or any violation of
this Deed of Trust, and (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Property.

              11.  Prohibition of Liens;  Debt.  Grantor will pay, or bond, from
time to time  when  the same  shall  become  due,  all  claims  and  demands  of
mechanics, materialmen,  laborers, and others which, if unpaid, might result in,
or permit the creation of, a lien on the Property or any part thereof, or on the
revenues,  rents, issues, income and profits arising therefrom.  Grantor will do
everything  necessary  so that  the  lien  and  priority  hereof  shall be fully
preserved,  at the  cost of  Grantor,  without  expense  to  Lender,  except  as
otherwise provided in the Restated Loan Agreement.

               Grantor will not,  without the written consent of Lender,  create
or suffer to be created any security interest under the Code,  together with any
amendments or supplements  thereto,  or other encumbrances in favor of any party
other  than  Lender,  or create or suffer any  reservation  of title by any such
other  party,  with  respect to any  fixtures,  nor shall any such  fixtures  or
property be the  subject  matter of any lease or other  transaction  whereby the
ownership  or any  beneficial  interest  in any of such  property is held by any
person or entity  other than  Grantor  (or Lender as provided  herein)except  as
permitted in the Restated  Loan  Agreement.  Except as permitted in the Restated
Loan Agreement,  all such property shall be purchased for cash or in such manner
that no lien shall be created  thereon except the lien of this Mortgage,  unless
Mortgagee  shall agree in writing to the contrary  before a contract to purchase
any such property is executed.

              12. Prohibition of Assumption,  Transfer.  Grantor hereby warrants
and covenants  that it is the lawful owner of the Property that Grantor has good
right and lawful authority to convey and encumber the same, that the Property is
free and clear from all liens and encumbrances  except for liens in favor of the
Lender and liens permitted  under the Restated Loan Agreement,  and that it will
warrant and defend such title to the Property  against the claims of all persons
whomsoever.  Except as  disclosed in the  Restated  Loan  Agreement or otherwise
permitted under the Restated Loan Agreement,  Grantor shall not create, ' incur,
assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, security interest,  encumbrance,
lien  or  charge  of any  kind  (including  any  agreement  to  give  any of the
foregoing),  any conditional sale or other title retention agreement,  any lease
intended as  security,  (and the filing of or  agreement  to give any  financing

lease,  transfer  or  otherwise  dispose  of  any of  the  Property  or all or a
substantial  portion of its assets,  or liquidate or  consolidate  with or merge
with or into any entity.

     13.  Priority  of Lien.  This Deed of Trust  shall be a first  lien deed of
trust and shall be superior in right to other deeds of trust encumbering part or
all of the Property except for liens

                                      - 8 -
or  encumbrances  disclosed in the Restated  Loan  Agreement and accepted by the
Lender.  Except as otherwise  provided herein or in the Restated Loan Agreement,
Grantor will not create or permit to accrue upon all or any part of the Property
any  debt,  lien or  charge  except  the lien of this  Deed of Trust  and  shall
promptly pay and discharge,  any lien or charge  whatsoever which by any present
or future  law may be or become  superior  to, or on a parity  with this Deed of
Trust,  either in lien or in  distribution  out of the  proceeds of any judicial
sale of the Property, 'or any part thereof, and any lien or charge not permitted
by Paragraph 11.

              14.     Default.

                      county (or any county if more than one) where the Property

                      one parcel or in such parcels, manner or order as Trustees

                      therefrom  and apply the same as the court may direct.  It
                      is understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto
                      that  nothing  herein  contained  shall be  construed as a
                      substitute   for,  or  in  derogation  of,  the  right  to
                      foreclose  this Deed of Trust or as  imposing  any duty or
                      obligation  upon Lender or upon Trustees,  or any of them,
                      to take charge of the  Property or to collect  said rents,
                      issues or profit or to have a receiver  appointed for such

                      such  rights  and  remedies  in  respect of so much of the
                      Property as may, under applicable law, including the Code,
                      be personal property, or any part thereof, as are provided
                      by the Code and such other  rights and remedies in respect
                      thereof  which  it may have at law or in  equity  or under
                      this Deed of Trust, including without limitation the right
                      to take possession of the Property wherever located and to
                      sell all or any portion thereof at public or private sale,
                      without  prior  notice to  Grantor,  except  as  otherwise
                      required by law (and if notice is  required by law,  after
                      ten (10) days, prior written notice,  which Grantor agrees
                      is a reasonable period of notice), at such place or places

                      terms,  whether  for cash or on  credit,  as Lender in its
                      sole  discretion  may  determine.  Lender  shall apply the
                      proceeds of any such sale to the payment of the Debt. Upon
                      the  occurrence  of any Event of  Default,  Grantor,  upon
                      demand by Lender,  shall  promptly  assemble any equipment
                      and  fixtures  included  in the  Property  and  make  them
                      available to Lender at a place to be  designated by Lender
                      which  shall  be  reasonably   convenient  to  Lender  and
                      Grantor.

                         (4) Sale of the  Property.  Lender  may sell any of the
                    Property,  not specifically  designated as personal property

                    any applicable law.

                               (5)   Additional   rights   and   remedies;   not
                      exclusive. In addition to all the foregoing,  Trustees and
                      Lender  shall have such other  rights as the law allows in
                      the pursuit of the foregoing  specified remedies and shall
                      have  such  other  remedies  as the  law  allows  for  the
                      realization  of security  interests  herein  granted.  The
                      rights and remedies herein provided to Trustees and Lender
                      shall  be  cumulative  and  not  alternative,  and are not
                      exclusive of any other  remedies  that may be available to
                      the  Trustees  and Lender,  whether at law, in equity,  or
                      otherwise.

     (b)  Provisions  Regarding  Sale.  (i)  Grantor  agrees  that any sale made
hereunder  may be  adjourned  from time to time  without  notice other than oral
proclamation  of such  adjournment at the time and place of sale, or at the time
and place of any adjourned  sale,  and (ii) Grantor agrees that any sale of real
property or interest in real property hereunder shall be made in

                                     - 10 -
accordance  with the laws of the state of West Virginia  relating to sales under
deeds of trust, with the exceptions herein stated and with the further exception
that the Grantor covenants and agrees.

     (c)  Rights in  Pursuit  of  Remedies.  In the event sums are due and owing
under the Note or the Loan  Documents as  aforesaid,  Lender in pursuance of the
foregoing remedies,  or in addition thereto,  (i) shall be entitled to resort to
its several  securities for the payment of the sums secured hereby in such order
and manner as Lender may think fit without impairing Lender's lien in, or rights
to, any of such  securities  and without  affecting the liability of any person,
firm or corporation for the sums secured  hereby,  except to the extent that the
Debt shall  have been  reduced by the  actual  monetary  consideration,  if any,
received by Lender from the  proceeds  of such  security;  (ii) may, in Lender's
sole  discretion,  release for such  consideration,  or none,  as the Lender may
require,  any  portion  of the  Property  without,  as to the  remainder  of the
security, in otherwise impairing or affecting the lien of this Deed of Trust, or
the priority  thereof,  or improving the position of any subordinate  lienholder
with respect thereto, except to the extent that the Debt shall have been reduced
by the  actual  monetary  consideration,  if any,  received  by Lender  for such
release;  and/or (iii) may accept the assignment or pledge of any other property
in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to
any other lienor.

     (d) Continued Lien of Deed of Trust. No entry of any judgment by Lender and
no levy of an execution  under any judgment  upon the Property or upon any other
property of Grantor  shall  affect in any manner or to any  extent,  the lien of
this Deed of Trust upon the Property or any part thereof, or any liens,  rights,
powers or  remedies of Lender  hereunder,  but such  liens,  rights,  powers and
remedies of Lender shall continue unimpaired as before.

     (e)  Subordination  of  Tenants'  Rights  Under  Leases.  In the event that
Trustees  shall  have  the  right  to  foreclose  this  Deed of  Trust,  Grantor
authorizes Trustees at their option to foreclose this Deed of Trust,  subject to
the rights of any tenants of the  Property if Trustees or Lender elect that this
Deed of Trust shall be subordinate to rights of tenants, and the failure to make
any such tenants  parties  defendant to any such  foreclosure  proceeding and to
foreclose  their  rights  will not be  asserted  by  Grantor as a defense to any
proceeding  instituted  by  Trustees  or  Lender  to  collect  the  Debt  or any
deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Property.

     (f)  Discontinuance  of  Proceedings;  Position  of  Parties  Restored . If
Trustees or Lender  shall have  proceeded  to enforce any right or remedy  under
this Deed of Trust by foreclosure, or otherwise, any such proceedings shall have
been  discontinued or abandoned for any reason,  then in every such case Grantor
and Trustees or Lender,  shall be restored to their former  positions and rights
hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue as if no
such proceeding had occurred or had been taken.

     15. Application of Proceeds of Foreclosure.  Trustees or Lender shall apply
the proceeds of any  foreclosure  sale of or other  disposition  or  realization
upon, or rents or profits from, the Property:

                      (a)  First,  to  the  payment  or   reimbursement  of  all
              reasonable  advances,  expenses and  disbursements of Trustees and
              Lender  (including,  without  limitation,  the reasonable fees and
              costs of their counsel and agents and not less than $500 as

                                     - 11 -
commission to Trustees for acting as Trustees  hereunder) incurred
              in connection with the  administration  and enforcement of, or the
              preservation  of any  rights  under,  this Deed of Trust or in the
              collection  of the  obligations  of Grantor under the Note and the
              Loan Documents;

                    (b)  Second,  in  satisfaction  of  the  Debt,  whether  for
               principal,  interest  or  expenses  in such order as  Trustees or
               Lender shall designate; and

                    (c)  Third,  the  balance,  if  any,  to be  distributed  as
               required by law.

              If the  proceeds  from any such  sale of or other  disposition  or
realization  upon the Property  are  insufficient  to pay the Debt,  the Grantor
shall remain liable for such deficiency.

              16.     Trustees.

     (a) Removal. It is hereby expressly  covenanted and agreed that Lender may,
at any time  and from  time to time  hereafter,  upon  notice  to  Trustees  and
Grantor,  but without any other notice,  appoint and substitute another Trustee,
corporation or person,  in place of either or both of the Trustees  herein named
to execute  the trust  herein  created.  Upon such  appointment,  either with or
without a  conveyance  to said  substituted  Trustee or Trustees by the Trustees
herein  named,  or by any other  substituted  Trustee  in case the said right of
appointment is exercised more than once, the new and substituted Trustee in each
instance shall be vested with all the rights, titles, interests,  powers, duties
and trusts in the premises  which are vested in and  conferred  upon the Trustee
herein named;  and such new and  substituted  Trustee  shall be  considered  the
successor and assign of the Trustee in his place and stead. Each appointment and
substitution  shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing,  which instrument,
executed and  acknowledged  by Lender and recorded in the office of the Clerk of
the County  Commission of the County wherein said property is situate,  shall be
conclusive  proof of the proper  substitution  and appointment of such successor
Trustee or Trustees,  and notice of such proper  substitution and appointment to
all  parties  in  interest.  The  Trustees,  or either  of them or the  survivor
thereof,  may act in the  execution of this trust and in the event either of the
Trustees  shall act alone,  the  authority  and power of the  Trustees so acting
shall be as full and  complete  as if the  powers and  authority  granted to the
Trustees  herein jointly had been granted to such Trustee alone.  Either or both
of the  Trustees  are  hereby  authorized  to act by  agent or  attorney  in the
execution of this trust.

     (b) Fees. In the event foreclosure  proceedings  instituted under the terms
and  provisions  of this  Trust Deed are not  completed  through no fault of the
Trustees,  Trustees  shall be  entitled  to receive  and  forthwith  be paid the
necessary costs and expenses  incurred by them,  together with a fee of not less
than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00).

     (c) Action.  The Trustees herein may act by agent or attorney  appointed by
them in the  execution  of this  Deed of Trust  and the  Trustees  shall  not be
required to be present in person.

              17.      Casualty Loss.

                                     - 12 -
(a)  Notice  to  Lender.  In  case  of  casualty  resulting  in  damage  or
destruction to the Property,  Grantor shall promptly give written notice thereof
to Trustees and Lender.

     (b)  Restoration  of  Property.  Unless  Lender  elects to apply  insurance
proceeds to reduce the Debt,  then,  regardless of the amount of any such damage
or destruction,  Grantor shall at its sole cost and expense,  and whether or not
the insurance  proceeds,  if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose,  restore,
repair,  replace,  rebuild or alter the same as nearly as possible to its value,
condition and character  immediately prior to such damage or destruction or with
such changes or alterations  as may be made at Grantor's  election in conformity
with and subject to the  conditions  of  paragraph 8 hereof.  Such  restoration,
repairs, replacements,  rebuilding or alteration shall be commenced promptly and
prosecuted with reasonable diligence. If (i) estimates received, and/or made, by
Lender disclose that the cost or restoration would be in excess of the amount of
the  insurance  proceeds  available  therefor,  or (ii)  during  the  period  of
restoration  by  Grantor  the  amount  of the  insurance  proceeds  shall not be
sufficient to complete such restoration,  then in either of such events, Grantor
shall deposit with Lender the amount  required to complete such  restoration  or
such other security as shall be satisfactory to Lender.

     (c)  Application of Proceeds.  All proceeds of and payments under insurance
policies with respect to any casualty  event shall be paid to Lender and applied
by Lender  first to payment  of the actual  costs,  fees and  expenses,  if any,
incurred by Lender in connection with adjustment of the loss and settlement with
the insurance company. The remainder of such insurance proceeds shall be applied
by Lender,  at the sole  discretion  of Lender,  either (i) in  reduction of the
outstanding Debt, as Lender may elect, or (ii) to the payment of the cost of the
aforesaid  restoration,   repairs,   replacement,   rebuilding  or  alterations,
including  the cost of temporary  repairs and the cost of protection of property
pending  the  completion  of  permanent   restoration,   repairs,   replacement,
rebuilding  or  alterations  (all of  which  temporary  and  permanent  repairs,
restoration, replacement, rebuilding, alterations and protection of property are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "restoration").

     (d) Advancement of Proceeds.  If under the provisions of this paragraph 16,
insurance  proceeds are to be applied to the cost of  restoration,  Lender shall
hold such insurance  proceeds,  together with any amounts  deposited with Lender
pursuant to subparagraph  16(b) hereof,  and advance the same for application to
the cost of the  restoration  from time to time as the  restoration  progresses.
Such funds  will be  advanced  upon the  written  request  of  Grantor  and upon
Grantor's compliance with such reasonable  requirements therefor as Lender shall
impose.  Upon  completion of all of the  restoration  in a good and  workmanlike
manner  and  substantially  in  accordance  with any  plans  and  specifications
therefor which Lender may have required,  and upon receipt by Lender of evidence
satisfactory  to Lender that the  restoration  has been  completed  and that the
Property is not and will not become subject to any  mechanic's or  materialmen's
liens on account of the  restoration  or any part  thereof,  any  balance of the
insurance  proceeds or sums deposited with Lender pursuant to subparagraph 16(b)
hereof and not applied to the cost of restoration shall be applied to reduce the
Debt, and any balance  remaining  after repayment of the Debt shall be paid over
to Grantor.

     (e) Effect of Default.  Notwithstanding  any provision of this paragraph 16
to the contrary, if at any time during any restoration of the Property, an Event
of Default in the payment

                                     - 13 -
on the Note shall exist,  Lender shall have no  obligation  to continue to apply
insurance  money to restoration  and may apply such insurance money to reduction
of the Debt.

     (f) No Postponement, Abatement of Scheduled Installments. In no event shall
the  application  to the  obligation  of  Grantor,  whether  or not  then due or
payable, of any insurance proceeds postpone, abate or reduce any of the periodic
installments  of principal and interest  thereafter to become due under the Debt
until the Debt is completely satisfied and paid in full. If Lender shall acquire
title to the  Property  either by virtue of a deed in lieu of  foreclosure  or a
judicial  sale thereof  pursuant to  proceedings  under the Note or this Deed of
Trust,  then all of Grantor's  estate,  right,  title and interest in and to all
such policies,  including  unearned  premiums thereon and the proceeds  thereof,
shall vest in Lender.

              18.     Condemnation.

     (a) Notice,  Right to  Participate.  Grantor shall give Trustees and Lender
immediate  notice  of any  actual or  threatened  commencement  of  condemnation
proceedings  or the exercise of the right of eminent  domain.  In the event that
the Property, or any part thereof, shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or
by exercise of any right of eminent  domain  (hereinafter  called  collectively,
"condemnation proceedings"),  Lender may on behalf of Grantor participate in any
such  condemnation  proceedings and may on behalf of and with the concurrence of
Grantor  adjust,  contest,  accept,  reject or compromise any proposed award and
collect  and,  without  the  concurrence  of Grantor,  may receive the  proceeds
thereof  and  endorse  drafts,  and  Lender  is  hereby  irrevocably   appointed
attorney-in-fact of Grantor for such purposes,  such power being coupled with an
interest.  The decision of Lender with the concurrence of Grantor with regard to
the  adjustment,  contest,  acceptance,  rejection or compromise of any proposed
award issued in connection with any  condemnation  proceedings  shall be binding
upon Grantor.  The award that may be made in any such proceeding or the proceeds
thereof shall be deposited  with Lender and  distributed in the manner set forth
in this paragraph 18. The parties agree to execute any and all further documents
that may be required in order to  facilitate  collection  of any award or awards
and the making of any such deposits with Lender.

     (b) Condemnation of All or Material Part of Property. If at any time during
the term of this  Deed of Trust  title to the  whole or a  material  part of the
Property  shall be taken in  condemnation  proceedings  or by agreement  between
Grantor and Lender and those  authorized  to exercise  such right,  Lender shall
apply such award or proceeds which it receives  pursuant to  subparagraph  17(a)
hereof to payment of the Debt and any balance  then  remaining  shall be paid to
Grantor.  In the event  that the  amount of the award or  proceeds  received  by
Lender shall not be sufficient to pay the Debt,  Grantor shall,  within ten (10)
days after the application of the award or proceeds as aforesaid pay or cause to
be paid such deficiency to Lender.  For the purposes of this subparagraph  17(b)
"a  material  part"  shall be deemed to have been  taken if the  portion  of the
Property  taken shall  preclude,  in Lender's sole judgment the effective use of
the Property as an economically viable unit for the permitted purposes for which
Grantor utilizes such Property.

     (c)  Condemnation  of Less than Material  Part of Property.  If at any time
during the term of this Deed of Trust  title to a portion of the  Property  that
does  not  constitute  "a  material  part"  of the  Property  shall  be taken as
aforesaid, all of the award or proceeds collected by

                                     - 14 -
Lender  pursuant  to  subparagraph  17(a)  hereof,  shall,  at the option of the
Lender, (i) be applied to reduce the Debt or (ii) be held by Lender, and applied
and  paid  over  toward  the  costs  of  demolition,   repair  and  restoration,
substantially  in the same  manner and subject to the same  conditions  as those
provided in paragraph 16 hereof with respect to insurance and other monies.  Any
balance  remaining  in the  hands  of  Lender  after  payment  of such  costs of
demolition,  repair and  restoration  shall be retained by Lender and applied in
reduction of the Debt. In the event that the costs of such  demolition,  repairs
and restoration  shall exceed the new amount collected by Lender,  Grantor shall
pay the deficiency.

     (d) Temporary Use or Taking. If at any time during the term of this Deed of
Trust the temporary use of the whole or any part of the Property  shall be taken
in condemnation  proceedings,  all of the award or proceeds  collected by Lender
pursuant to  subparagraph  17(a)  hereof  shall be held by Lender and applied by
Lender  toward the  payment of the  monthly  interest  payment or of the monthly
payments of  principal  and interest due on the Debt until such time as the Debt
is completely  satisfied and paid,  except that, if such taking by  condemnation
proceedings  results in changes  and  alterations  to the  Property  or any part
thereof which would  necessitate  an  expenditure to restore the Property or any
part thereof to its former condition, then such portion of the award or proceeds
as in Lender's  reasonable  estimation  shall be  necessary to cover the cost of
restoration  shall at the  option of  Lender  be  retained  by  Lender,  without
application as aforesaid, and be applied and paid over toward the restoration of
the Property,  or any part thereof, to its former condition in substantially the
same manner and subject to the same conditions as those provided in paragraph 16
hereof with respect to insurance and other  monies.  In the event that the costs
of such  restoration  shall exceed the net amount  collected by Lender,  Grantor
shall pay or cause to be paid the deficiency.

     (e)  Taking of Rights of Light,  Air,  Access  and the Like.  Any award for
compensation made in condemnation  proceedings for consequential  damages or for
the taking of rights in, under and above the streets adjoining such Property, or
the rights and  benefits  of light,  air or access to said  streets,  or for the
taking of  space,  or  rights  therein,  below  the  surface  of, or above,  the
Property,  shall  be  paid  over to and  received  by  Lender.  Such  awards  or
compensation shall at the option of Lender be either applied to the reduction of
the  Debt,  or  paid  over  toward  the  cost  of such  demolition,  repair  and
restoration  of  the  Property  as  shall  be   necessitated   by  such  taking,
substantially  in the same  manner and subject to the same  conditions  as those
provided in paragraph 17 hereof with respect to insurance and other monies,  and
any balance  remaining in the hands of Lender  shall be retained by Lender,  and
applied in reduction of the Debt in the same manner as provided in  subparagraph
17(c) with respect to the balance of the award or awards therein referred to.

     (f)  Reimbursement  of Costs,  Fees and the Like. In the case of any taking
covered by the  provisions of this  paragraph 17, Grantor shall be entitled as a
first  priority to  reimbursement  out of any award or awards for all reasonable
costs,  fees, and expenses  incurred in the  determination and collection of any
such awards.

     (g)  Payments  Pending  Receipt  of Award.  Notwithstanding  any  taking by
condemnation proceedings,  Grantor shall continue to pay interest on the Debt at
the rates  provided in the Note until any such award or payment  shall have been
actually received by Lender and applied to the principal sum as provided in this
paragraph 18, if it is to be so applied under this paragraph

                                     - 15 -
18. Any reduction in the principal sum resulting from Lender's  application
of such award or payment as hereinafter set forth shall be deemed to take effect
only on the date of such application. If prior to Lender's receipt of such award
or  payment  the  Property  shall have been  sc',.d to Lender or its  nominee on
foreclosure  of this Deed of Trust,  Lender  shall have the right to receive and
retain the entire award or payment.

     (h) No Postponement. Abatement or Scheduled Installments. In no event shall
the  application to the Debt of any payment to Lender pursuant to this paragraph
18 postpone,  abate or reduce any of the periodic  installments  of principal or
interest  thereafter to become due under the Note and the Loan  Documents  until
such amounts are paid in full.

              19. Indemnity for Costs.  Grantor will indemnify  against,  and on
demand repay  Trustees or Lender for any loss,  damage,  expense,  or reasonable
attorneys,  fees which may be  incurred  by reason of any  action or  proceeding
affecting  the Property or the title  thereto or Trustee's or Lender's  interest
under  this  Deed of Trust to  which  Trustees  or  Lender  is made a party  (by
intervention or otherwise).

              20.  Change in Trust  Deed Tax Laws.  In the event of the  passage
after the date of this  Deed of Trust of any law of the  State of West  Virginia
deducting  from the value of the  Property  for the purpose of taxation any lien
thereon,  or  changing  in any way the  laws now in force  for the  taxation  of
mortgages,  or debts secured thereby, for state or local purposes, or the manner
of the  operation  of any such taxes so as to affect the interest of Trustees or
Lender,  then and in such event,  Grantor  shall bear and pay the full amount of
such taxes.

              21.   Agreements   Continuing,   Absolute.   The   agreements  and
obligations of Grantor hereunder are continuing agreements and obligations,  and
are absolute and  unconditional  irrespective  of the  genuineness,  validity or
enforceability  of the  Note  or any  other  instrument  or  instruments  now or
hereafter  evidencing  the Debt or any  other  agreement  or  agreements  now or
hereafter  entered into by Lender and Grantor  pursuant to which the Debt or any
part  thereof  is issued  or of any other  circumstance  which  might  otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable  discharge of such  agreements and  obligations;
without limitation upon the foregoing, the agreements and obligations of Grantor
shall  not in any  such  way be  affected  by (i) any  renewal,  refinancing  or
refunding  of the Debt in whole or in part,  (ii) any  extension  of the time of
payment of the amounts due and owing under the Note or any other  instrument  or
instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Debt or any part thereof,  (iii) any
amendment to or  modification  of the terms of the Note or other  instrument  or
instruments  now or  hereafter  evidencing  the Debt or any part  thereof or any
other  agreement  or  agreements  now or  hereafter  entered  into by Lender and
Grantor  pursuant  to which the Debt or any part  thereof is issued or  secured,
(iv) any substitution,  exchange or release of, or failure to preserve,  perfect
or protect,  or other dealing in respect of, the Property or any other  property
or any  security  for the  payment  of the  Debt or any  part  thereof,  (v) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement,  composition, assignment for the benefit of
creditors  or similar  proceeding  commenced  by or against  Grantor or (vi) any
other matter or thing  whatsoever  whereby the  agreements  and  obligations  of
Grantor hereunder would or might otherwise be released or discharged.

                                     - 16 -
22. Partial Invalidity.  The invalidity per se or in any application of any
one or more  paragraphs  of this Deed of Trust or any part of any thereof  shall
not  affect  the  remaining  portions  of this Deed of  Trust,  all of which are
inserted conditionally on their being held valid in law.

              23. Notices. All notices, requests,  demands, directions and other
communications  (collectively  "notices")  under the  provisions of this Deed of
Trust  must be in  writing  unless  otherwise  expressly  permitted  under  this
Agreement and must be sent by  first-class  express mail,  private  overnight or

$16,100,000                                       Dated:   December ___, 1996

              FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,  MOUNTAINEER  PARK,  INC.,  a West  Virginia
corporation (the  "Borrower"),  HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of MADELEINE

The  Company  may deem and treat the  Person in whose n me the
Warrants are  registered  as the Holder for all  purposes,  notwithstanding  any

and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary,  until  presentation of
this Warrant  Certificate for registration of transfer as provided in Section 3.
The Company  shall  maintain  at its office in Laguna  Beach,  California  or in
Chester,  West Virginia, a register for the Warrants, in which the Company shall
record the name and  address of the Person in whose name each  Warrant  has been
issued,  as well as the name and address of each transferee and each prior owner

certificate,  signed by one of its officers,  listing the names and addresses of
every other  holder of Warrants  and/or  Warrant  Shares who is a successor or a
direct or indirect assignee of the Original Holder, as such information  appears

                  This Warrant  Certificate is exchangeable,  upon the surrender
hereof by the  Holder to the  Company at its  office or agency  provided  for in
Section 2, for new  Warrant  Certificates  of like  tenor,  representing  in the
aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder,  each of such new  Warrant  Certificates  to  represent  the right to
purchase  such number of shares of Common  Stock as shall be  designated  by the
Holder at the time of such surrender.  Subject to Section 5 hereof, this Warrant
Certificate and all rights hereunder are  transferable,  in whole or in part, in
accordance  with Section 2, by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized
attorney,  and a new Warrant Certificate shall promptly be made and delivered by
the Company, of the same tenor as this Warrant Certificate but registered in the
name of the transferee, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate together with
a duly  completed  Assignment,  substantially  in the form  attached  hereto  as
Exhibit I, at the  office of the  Company  where the  register  provided  for in
Section 2 is maintained.  Upon receipt by the Company at its office provided for
in  Section 2 of  evidence  reasonably  satisfactory  to it of the loss,  theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and, in the case of loss,
theft or destruction,  of indemnity or security  reasonably  satisfactory to it,
and upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate,  if mutilated,  the Company will
make and deliver a new Warrant  Certificate of like tenor in replacement of this
Warrant Certificate.  This Warrant Certificate shall be promptly canceled by the
Company upon the surrender thereof in connection with any exchange,  transfer or
replacement.  The Company shall pay all taxes and all other expenses and charges

                  4.  EXERCISE

     4.1. Right to Exercise.  The Holder may exercise,  in whole or in part (but
not as to a fractional share of Common Stock),  the purchase rights  represented
by this Warrant Certificate at the times set forth in Section 4.2.

                                      - 4 -
4.2. Exercise Period.  The Holder may xercise,  in whole or in
part (but not as to a fractional  share of Common  Stock),  the purchase  rights
represented by this Warrant  Certificate at any time and from time to time after
the date hereof and until 5:00 p.m.,  Pacific  Time,  on December  10, 2001 (the
"Exercise Period").

     4.3. Exercise Procedure. (a) Warrants will be deemed to have been exercised
as of the date during the  Exercise  Period when the Company has received all of
the following items (the "Ex rcise Time"):

     (i) a completed  Exercise  Agreement,  as  described  in Section 4.4 below,
executed by the Holder;

                  (ii) this Warrant Certificate; and

                  (iii) cash or a certified  or official  bank check  payable to
the  Company in an amount  equal to the then  effective  Purchase  Price for the
shares for which this Warrant Certificate is being exercised.

                  (b)  Certificates  for  Warrant  S  ares  purchased  upon  the
exercise of Warrants  will be delivered by the Company to the Holder within five
business days after the date of the Exercise Time. Unless the remaining Warrants
have  expired or have been  exercised,  the Company  will  prepare a new Warrant
Certificate,  substantially identical hereto, representing the Warrants formerly
represented by this Warrant Certificate which have not expired or been exercised
and will, within such five-day period,  deliver such new Warrant  Certificate to
the Holder.  Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary  set forth  herein,  the
business day periods provided for in this paragraph  shall,  without any further
action,  be reduced to such  shorter  time period as shall be necessary in order
for the  Holder  to  effect  any  Transfer  of  Warrants  or  Warrant  Shares in
accordance with any applicable clearing procedures or other procedures governing
registration  of transfer.  In the case of a public  offering of any Registrable
Securities, the provisions set forth in this Section 4.3(b) shall, to the extent
applicable, be subject to clause (vi) of Section 5.5.

                  (c) The Warrant Shares shall, when issued, be duly authorized,
validly issued,  previously  unissued,  fully paid and nonassessable and will be
free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect thereto.

                  (d)  Warrant  Shares will be deemed to have been issued at the
Exercise Time,  and the Person in whose name such shares are registered  will be
deemed for all purposes
 o have become the Holder of such shares at the Exercise Time.

                  (e) The issuance of  certificates  for Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of Warrants will be made without charge for any issuance tax in respect
thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in  connection  with such exercise
and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock.

                  (f) The Company will not close its books  against the transfer
of the Warrants or of any of the Warrant  Share in any manner  which  interferes
with the timely exercise of the

                                      - 5 -
Warrants or the timely  transfer of all or any part of this Warrant  Certificate
or the Warrant  Shares.  The Company will from time to time take all such action
as may be  necessary  to assure  that the par  value  per share of the  unissued
Common Stock  acquirable  upon the exercise of Warrants is at all times equal to
or less than the Purchase Price then in effect.

                  (g) Upon the  exercis of  Warrants,  the Holder of the Warrant
Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants  shall be entitled to all of the
rights,  and shall be subject to all of the  obligations,  set forth herein,  in
each case to the extent provided for herein.

                  (h) The right of the Holder to exercise any Warrants hereunder
shall be  expressly  limited to the extent  that the Holder  (together  with its
affiliates  or other persons or entities  controlled by or under common  control
with the Holder) w ll thereafter  own in the aggregate  more than 5% of the then
issued and  outstanding  Common  Stock (a  "Controlling  Interest"),  unless the
Holder's ownership of such a Controlling  Interest has been approved by the West
Virginia  Lottery  Commission or such approval shall no longer be required under
applicable  law.  The  Company  shall use its best  efforts to  obtain,  or help
obtain, as applicable, any such approval.

                  4.4.  Exercise  Agreement.  Upon any exercise of the War ants,
the Exercise Agreement will be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit II
hereto,  except that if the  Warrant  Shares are not to be issued in the name of
the  Holder,  the  Exercise  Agreement  will also state the name or names of the
Person or Persons to whom the  certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued,
and the Holder  shall  comply  with  Sections  5.1 and 5.2 hereof in  connection
therewith.  The Exercise  Agreement  shall be dated the actual date of execution
thereof.

                  5   TRANSFER AND REGISTRATION

                  5.1.  Restrictions on Transfer Generally.  Notwithstanding any
provisions  contained in this Warrant Certificate to the contrary,  the Warrants
shall not be  transferable  and the related Warrant Shares shall not be issuable
to any Person,  or transferable by the Holder thereof,  except upon satisfaction
of the conditions specified in this Section 5.1. Such conditions are intended to
insure  compliance  with the  provisions of the Securities Act in respect of the
exercise of the Warrants or the Transfer of the Warrants or Warrant Shares.  The
Holder agrees that it will not: (i) Transfer  Warrants  prior to delivery to the
Company of the opinion of counsel  referred  to in, and to the effect  described
in, Section 5.2, or until  registration under the Securities Act of the Warrants
and all related Warrant Shares has become  effective;  (ii) request the issuance
to any Person of Warrant Shares  issuable upon the exercise of Warrants prior to
delivery  to the  Company of the  opinion of counsel  referred to in, and to the
effect  described in, Section 5.2, or until  registration of the related Warrant
Shares under the  Securities  Act has become  effective;  or (iii)  Transfer any
Warrant  Shares  prior to  delivery  to the  Company  of the  opinion of counsel
referred  to in,  and  to  the  effect  described  in,  Section  5.2,  or  until
registration  of such  Warrant  Shares  under  the  Securities  Act  has  become
effective.  Compliance with the foregoing  provisions  shall not be required for
any Transfer of Warrants or of Warrant Shares by the Holder to the Company.

                                      - 6 -
5.2.  Opinion of Counsel.  Subject to Section 5.11, so long as
this Warrant Certificate,  or any certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon the
exercise of  Warrants,  bears the legend  required by Section  5.10,  the Holder
agrees that, prior to any Transfer or attempted  Transfer of Warrants or Warrant
Shares  evidenced  by such  certificate,  it shall  give  written  no ice to the
Company of its intention to effect such Transfer. Any such notice shall describe
the manner and timing of the proposed Transfer in reasonable detail. Such notice
shall be  accompanied  by an  opinion  of counsel  for the  Holder,  in form and
substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Company,  stating that the proposed
Transfer  may  be  effected  without   registration  of  the  securities  to  be
transferred  under the Securities  Act,  following  receipt of which the Company
shall promptly, at such time as shall be requested by the Holder, give effect to
such Transfer in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder
to the Company.  Each Warrant  Certificate  or certificate  evidencing  Warrants
Shares,  as the case may be, issued to a transferee in such Transfer  shall bear
the legend set forth in Section 5.10 if required by such Section, unless, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company,  such legend is not required or  appropriate
in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 5.2, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel for
the Company,  the proposed  Transfer  may not be effected  without  registration
under the Securities  Act, the Company shall promptly (and, in any case,  within
two  business  days after  receiving  the notice of proposed  Transfer  from the
Holder) so notify the Holder and the Holder shall not  consummate  such Transfer
until the required  registration  under the Securities Act has become effective,
except in another  transaction exempt from the registration  requirements of the
Securities Act.

                  5.3.  Registration.  The Company shall effect the registration
on an applicable form under the Securities Act of the resale of the Warrants and
the issuance or, if not permissible  under the Securities Act, the resale of the
Warrant Shares,  pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights
Agreement.  The  Company  shall use its best  efforts to keep such  registration
statement  filed and  declared eff ctive  pursuant to this  Warrant  Certificate
continuously  effective until such time as (i) none of the securities covered by
such registration  statement shall constitute Registrable Securities or (ii) all
of the Registrable  Securities covered by such registration statement are freely
transferable pursuant to Rule 144(k); provided,  however, that,  notwithstanding
the foregoing,  prior to the suspension or termination of the  effectiveness  of
any registration  statement pursuant to either clause (i) or clause (ii) of this
sentence,  (A) the  Company  shall  have  delivered  to the Holder an opinion of
counsel to the Company  satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder and its
counsel  stating that the applicable  condition  precedent to the termination of
the  effectiveness of the registration  statement set forth in this sentence has
been  satisfied and (B) the Holder and its counsel shall have concurred with the
conclusions  set out in such  opinion.  If the  Company  shall  fail to file any
registration  statement  required  to be filed by the  Company  pursuant to this
Section  5.3 on or before  the date that is 90 days from the date of demand  for
the filing of such  registration  statement (the date of such demand the "Demand
Date"),  the Company shall,  within five days thereafter,  pay to the Holder, in
cash,  with respect to each Warrant Share held by the Holder  (determined  on an
as-converted  basis),  an amount  that is equal to the greater of (i) 10% of the
closing price of the Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding such
90th day and (ii) $350,000  divided by the number of Warrant Shares  (determined
on  an  as-converted  basis)  required  to  be  included  on  such  registration
statement.  In the event  that a  registration  statement  required  to be filed
pursuant to this

                                      - 7 -
Agreement shall fail to be declared effective on or before the date (the "Second
Penalty Date") that is seven  calendar  months from the Demand Date, the Company
shall pay to the Holder an additional amount equal to 5% of the closing price of
the Common Stock on the business day  immediately  preceding the Second  Penalty
Date for each Warrant Share (determined on an as-converted basis) to be included
on such registration  statement.  If such registration statement is not declared
effective on or before the date (the "Third Penalty Date") that is nine calendar
months from the Demand Date,  the Company  shall pay to the Holder an additional
penalty of 10% of the  closing  price of the Common  Stock on the Third  Penalty
Date,  and on the last day of each month  thereafter  (each a "10% Due Date") on
the business day immediately  preceding such 10% Due Date for each Warrant Share
(determined  on an  as-converted  basis)  to be  included  on such  registration
statement until such  registration  statement is declared  effective (the "Final
Penalties").  For purposes of this paragraph, the closing price of such security
for any day shall be the last  reported  sale price  regular  way or, in case no
such  reported  sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and
asked  prices  regular  way for such  day,  in each  case  (i) on the  principal
national  securities  exchange on which such security is listed or to which such
security  is  admitted  to  trading  or (ii) if such  security  is not listed or
admitted to trading on a national securities  exchange,  in the over-the-counter
market as reported by The Nasdaq  National  Market or a  comparable  system,  or
(iii)  if such  security  is not  listed  on The  Nasdaq  National  Market  or a
comparable  system,  as furnished by two members of the National  Association of
Securities  Dealers,  Inc. selected from time to time in good faith by the Board
of  Directors  of the  Company  for that  purpose.  In the absence of all of the
foregoing,  or if for any other reason the closing price of such security cannot
be determined pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the closing price shall be the
fair market value of such  security as  determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company. Without limiting the remedies available to the Holder,
the  Company  acknowledges  that any  failure by the  Company to comply with its
obligations under this Section 5.3 may result in material  irreparable injury to
the Holder (and/or subsequent  holders) for which there is no adequate remedy at
law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely
and that, in the event of any such failure, the Holder (or any subsequent holder
of  Registrable  Securities)  may  obtain  such  relief  as may be  required  to
specifically   enforce  the  Company's   obligations  under  this  Section  5.3.
Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant certificate to the contrary, so long as
the Company is in compliance with its obligations with respect to the payment of
any  penalties  pursuant to this  Section  5.3, it shall not be in breach of its
obligation  to register  Common  Stock or Warrants  under this  Section 5.3. The
Company hereby acknowledges that any Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement.

                  5. . Underwritten  Offering. The Holder may sell any or all of
its Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering; provided, however, that,
nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall in any way accelerate the obligation
of the  Company set forth in the first  sentence  of Section  5.3. If the Holder
desires to do so, it shall so notify the  Company  in  writing,  stating in such
notice the number and class of securities  proposed to be sold. Within five days
after receipt of such notice,  the Company shall mail a notice  stating that the
Holder has requested an underwritten  offering of all or part of its Registrable
Securities (which notice shall state the number and class of securities proposed
to be sold by the Holder) to any other holders of Registrable  Securities and to
any  other  holders  of  "Registrable   Securities"   under  any  other  Warrant
Certificates  or the  Registration  Rights  Agreement.  Any  such  other  holder
desiring to

                                      - 8 -
participate in the  underwritten  offering shall be entitled to do so,  provided
that  such  holder  notifies  the  Company  of  its  intent  to  so  participate
(specifying  in its notice the number of securities  proposed to be sold, all of
which  shall be  required  to be of the same  class  as those  set  forth in the
Holder's  notice) not later than the date that is fifteen days after the date on
which the  Company  mailed  notice of such  underwritten  offering to such other
holder.  In  any  such  underwritten  offering  requested  by  the  Holder,  the
investment   banker  or   investment   bankers  and  manager  or  managers  (the
"Underwriters")  that will  administer  the  offering  will be  selected  by the
Holder,  subject to the reasonable  approval of the holders of a majority of the
securities  (determined  on an  as-converted  basis and  including  the Holder's
Registrable  Securities)  proposed  to be  included  in  such  offering  and the
reasonable approval of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth  herein,  if the  Underwriter  determines  that the  number of  securities
includable in an underwritten offering requested by the Holder is limited due to
market conditions,  priority shall be given first to the Registrable  Securities
and any other securities constituting  "Registrable  Securities" under any other
Warrant  Certificate or the Registration Rights Agreement held by the Holder and
then to securities  held by all other  holders of  securities  proposing to sell
securities in such  underwritten  offering on a pro rata basis (determined on an
as-converted  basis).  Any holder of  securities  requesting  the  inclusion  of
securities  held by such  holder in an  underwritten  offering  pursuant to this
Section 5.4 (including the Holder) may, at any time (subject to any arrangements
entered into with the Underwriters),  withdraw all or any part of its securities
from  such  underwritten  offering.  Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary
herein,  the  provisions  of this Section 5.4 shall not apply to any  securities
that are freely transferable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.

                  5.5. Registration  Procedures;  Obligations of the Company. In
connection with its  obligations  under Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, the Company
shall, in addition to such other requirements as are set forth elsewhere in this
Warrant Certificate,  including,  without limitation, in Section 5.3 and Section
5.4:

                  (i)  prepare  and file  with  the  Commission  a  registration
statement on an  applicable  form under the  Securities  Act with respect to the
applicable securities, use its best efforts to cause such registration statement
to become  effective  within the applicable time period and promptly prepare and
file with the Commission  such  amendments and  supplements to the  registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection therewi h as may be necessary to
keep the  registration  statement  effective  and current and to comply with the
provisions of the Securities  Act with respect to the sale or other  disposition
of all securities  covered by the  registration  statement,  including,  without
limitation,  such  amendments and supplements as may be necessary to reflect the
intended method of disposition  from time to time of the  prospective  seller or
sellers of such  securities  or as may be necessary  upon the  occurrence  of an
event  contemplated by clause (E) of paragraph (ii) of this Section 5.5, and use
its best  efforts  to cause  any such  amendment  to become  effective  and such
registration statement to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable;

         (ii)  notify the  Holder  promptly  and,  if  requested  by the H lder,
confirm such advice in writing, (A) when any registration statement filed

                                      - 9 -
hereunder  has  become  effective  and when any  post-effective  amendments  and
supplements thereto have been filed and become effective,  (B) of any request by
the Commission or any state securities  authority for amendments and supplements
to any  registration  statement  filed  hereunder and related  prospectus or for
additional  information  after the registration  statement has become effective,
(C) of the issuance by the Commission or any state  securities  authority of any
stop order  suspending the  effectiveness  of any  registration  statement filed
hereunder or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) if, between
the effective date of any registration statement filed hereunder and the closing
of any sale of Registrable  Securities covered thereby,  the representations and
warranties of the Company  contained in any underwriting  agreement,  securities
sales agreement or other similar  agreement,  if any,  relating to such offering
cease to be true and correct in all material respects or if the Company receives
any  notification  with respect to the  suspension of the  qualification  of the
Registrable  Securities  for sale in any  jurisdiction  or the initiation of any
proceeding  for such purpose,  (E) of the happening of any event which makes any
statement  made in any  registration  statement  filed  hereunder or the related
prospectus  untrue in any material  respect or which  requires the making of any
changes  in the  registration  statement  or  prospectus  in  order  to make the
statements  therein not misleading and (F) of any  determination  by the Company
that a post-effective  amendment to any  registration  statement filed hereunder
would be appropriate;

         (iii) make every  reasonable  effort to obtain  the  withdrawal  of any
order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed hereunder
at the earliest  possible  moment and provide prompt notice to the Holder of the
withdrawal of an such order;

         (iv) promptly  furnish to the Holder and any Underwriter such number of
copies of a prospectus,  including a preliminary  prospectus  and any prospectus
supplement,  in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such
other documents as the Holder and/or Underwriter may reasonably request in order
to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of Registrable Securities;

         (v) use its best  efforts to register or qu lify on a timely  basis the
Registrable  Securities  covered by any  registration  statement filed hereunder
under  such  other  securities  or blue  sky or  other  applicable  laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as the Holder shall reasonably request to
enable the Holder to  consummate  the public sale or other  disposition  in such
jurisdictions of Registrable Securities;

         (vi) cooperate with the Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates rep esenting Registrable  Securities to be sold and not
bearing any restrictive legends and enable such Registrable  Securities to be in
such amounts and registered in such names as the Holder may  reasonably  request
at least two  business  days  prior to the  closing  of any sale of  Registrable
Securities;

                                     - 10 -
(vii) upon the  occurrence of any event  contemplated  by clause (E) of
paragraph (ii) of this Section 5.5,  notify the Holder to suspend use of any app
icable  prospectus as promptly as  practicable  after the  occurrence of such an
event;

         (viii) within a reasonable time prior to the filing of any registration
statement to be filed hereunder, prospectus to be included therein, or amendment
or supplement to either of the foregoing, provide copies of such document to the
Holder and its counsel,  and make such of the  representatives of the Company as
shall be reasonably requested by the Holder or its counsel available for discuss
on of such  document,  and shall not at any time file or make any  amendment  or
supplement  to any such  document of which the Holder and its counsel  shall not
have  previously  been  advised  and  furnished a copy or in a form in which the
holders of a majority of the securities  covered by such registration  statement
(determined on an as-converted  basis) or their counsel shall reasonably  object
on a timely basis;

         (ix) make available for inspection by a  representative  of the Holder,
any Underwriter  participating  in any disposition  pursuant to any registration
statement filed hereunder and attorneys and accountants designated by the Holder
or any  Underwriter,  at  reasonable  times  and  in a  reasonable  manner,  all
financial and other records,  pertinent documents and properties of the Company,
and cause the  respective  officers,  directors  and employees of the Company to
supply  all  information   reasonably  requested  by  any  such  representative,
Underwriter,   attorney  or  accountant  in  connection  with  the  registration
statement; provided, however that such representatives,  Underwriters, attorneys
or accountants agree to keep confidential any records,  information or documents
that are  designated by the Company in writing as  confidential  and to use such
information  obtained  pursuant to this  provision  only in connection  with the

                                     - 12 -
5.7. Indemnification. (a) The Company hereby indemnifies and holds
harmless the Holder and each  officer,  director and  controlling  person of the
Holder  against  all claims,  losses,  damages  and  liabilities  (or actions in
respect  thereof)  arising out of or based on any untrue  statement  (or alleged
untrue  statement)  of a material  fact  contained in any  prospectus,  offering
circular  or other  document  incident  to any  registration,  qualification  or
compliance (or in any related registration statement,  notification or the like)
or any omission (or alleged  omission) to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
or any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation  promulgated under the
Securities  Act or any  state  securities  law  applicable  to the  Company  and
relating to any action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with
any such  registration,  qualification  or  compliance,  and will  reimburse the
Holder and each such officer,  director and controlling person for any legal and
any other expenses  incurred in connection with  investigating  or defending any
such claim,  loss,  damage,  liability or action;  provided,  however,  that the
Company will not be liable to the Holder in any such case to the extent that any
such claim,  loss,  damage or liability  arises out of or is based on any untrue
statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company in
an instrument duly executed by the Holder and stated to be specifically  for use
in the document  containing such untrue statement of a material fact or omitting
to state the material fact required to be stated therein.

                  (b) Each party entitled to indemnification  hereunder (each an
"indemnified  party")  shall  give  notice to the  Company  promptly  after such
indemnified  party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity ay be
sought,  and shall  permit the Company (at its expense) to assume the defense of
any claim or any litigation resulting  therefrom,  provided that counsel for the
Company  who shall  conduct  the  defense of such claim or  litigation  shall be
reasonably  satisfactory to the  indemnified  party.  The indemnified  party may
participate in such defense,  but only at such indemnified party's expense.  The
omission by any  indemnified  party to give notice as provided  herein shall not
relieve the Company of its  obligations  under this Section 5.7(b) except to the
extent that the  omission  results in a failure of actual  notice to the Company
and the Company is damaged solely as a result of the failure to give notice. The
Company shall not, in the defense of any such claim or  litigation,  except with
the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional  term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified  party of a release from
all liability with respect to such claim or litigation.

                  (c) The  reimbursement  required by this  Section 5.7 shall be
made by periodic payments during the course of the investigation or defense,  as
and when bills are received or expenses incurred.

                  (d) To the  extent  any  indemnification  by  the  Company  is
prohibited  or  limited  by  law,  the  Company   agrees  to  make  the  maximum
contribution  permitted by applicable  law with respect to any am unts for which
it would otherwise be liable under Section 5.7(a).

                  (e)  The   Company   will  enter  into   indemnification   and
contribution   arrangements   with   the   Holder,   any   other   participating
securityholders  and the  Underwriters  that  are  usual  and  customary  and/or
reasonable under the circumstances in connection with any underwritten

                                     - 13 -
offering  to be  effected  pursuant  to Section  5.4;  provided,  that,  nothing
contained  herein  shall  require  the Company o indemnify  any  Underwriter  in
connection  with  any  statement   expressly   provided  for  inclusion  in  any
registration statement by such Underwriter.

                  5.8. Other Registrations. (a) The Company may not, without the
prior  written  consent  of the  holders  of a  majority  of  the  participating
Registrable  Securities (determined on an as-converted basis), permit present or
subsequent  investors  in the Company  (other than  transferees  of  Registrable
Securities) to participate  in any r gistrations  initiated  pursuant to Section
5.3 or  underwritten  offerings  requested  pursuant to Section  5.4;  provided,
however,  that,  nothing contained herein shall be interpreted so as to prohibit
the Company from entering into and performing its obligations under Section 5.4,
under  Section  5.4  of  any  of  the  other  Warrant  Certificates,  under  the
Registration  Rights  Agreement  (including,  but not  limited to, in respect of
securities to be received on future dates  pursuant to the Term Loan  Agreement)
or under any of the registration rights agreements listed on Schedule 5.8(a).

                  (b) To the extent that an  underwritten  offering is requested
pursuant to any other Warrant  Certificate or the Registration Rights Agreement,
the  Holder  shall be given  the  opportunity  to elect to  participate  in such
underwritten  offering on the terms and subject to the  conditions  set forth in
the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company shall not amend any of such terms
in any Warrant  Certificate or in t e Registration  Rights Agreement in a manner
adverse to the Holder  without  the prior  written  consent of the  holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities (determined on an as-converted basis).

                  5.9. Rule 144 Requirements;  Adequate  Information for Private
Sales.  (a) At all times and from time to time,  the Company shall  undertake to
make publicly available and available to the Holder, pursuant to Rule 144 of the
Commission  under the Securities Act, such informati n as is necessary to enable
the Holder to make sales of  Registrable  Securities  pursuant to that Rule. The
Company shall furnish to the Holder,  upon request, a written statement executed
by the Company as to the steps it has taken to comply  with the  current  public
information requirements of Rule 144. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall have no further  obligations  under this  Section  5.9 at such time as all
then outstanding Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to paragraph (k) of
Rule 144,  as  determined  by,  and set forth in an opinion  of,  counsel to the
Company who is reasonably  acceptable to the Holder. The Holder shall notify the
Company promptly after it ceases to hold any Registrable Securities.

                  (b) If the Holder  desires to effect a Transfer of Registrable
Securities  without  registration  under the Securities Act, and if at such time
such Transfer cannot be effected pursuant to Rule 144, then the Company,  at the
Holder's request and at the Company's e pense, shall provide the Holder with all
such  information  regarding the Company as would be required in order to enable
the Holder to comply with the exemption  from  registration  provided by Section
4(l) of the Securities Act (or any successor  provision) or any other applicable
exemption from registration.

     5.10. Legends.  (a) Each Warrant Certificate issued in exchange,  transfer,
or replacement of this Warrant  Certificate shall (unless otherwise permitted by
Section .2 or unless the Warrants to be  evidenced  by such Warrant  Certificate
shall have been transferred

                                     - 14 -
pursuant to an effective  registration  statement  under the  Securities  Act or
pursuant to Rule 144 or any  successor  rule) be stamped or otherwise  imprinted
with a legend  substantially  in the form of the legend  appearing at the top of
the first page of this Warrant Certificate.

                  (b) Each  certificate for Warrant  Shares,  including any such
certificate issued to a subsequent transferee, shall (unless otherwise permitted
by Section 5.2 or unless the Warrant Shares to be evidenced by such  certificate
shall have been  issued or  transferred  pursuant to an  effective  registration
statement  under the  Securities  Act or pursuant  to Rule 144 or any  successor
rule) be stamped  or  otherwise  imprinted  with a legend in  substantially  the
following form:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,  AND THE TRANSFER OF SAID  SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE
RESTRICTIONS  SET FORTH IN  SECTION 5 OF THE  WARRANT  CERTIFICATE,  DATED AS OF
DECEMBER  __,  1996,  OF WINNERS  ENTERTAINMENT,  INC., A COPY OF WHICH HAS BEEN
DELIVERED TO THE  REGISTERED  HOLDER OF THE  SECURITIES  REPRESENTED  HEREBY AND
WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR  INSPECTION AT THE HEAD OFFICE OF WINNERS  ENTERTAINMENT,
INC. NO TRANSFER OF SAID SECURITIES SHALL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNLESS AND UNTIL
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE WARRANT CERTIFICATE SHALL HAVE BEEN
COMPLIED WITH."

     (c) The  provisions of Sections  4.3(h),  5.1 and 5.2 and this Section 5.10
shall be binding upon all subsequent Holders.

                  5.11.  Exchange  of  Certificates.   At  such  time  as  shall
reasonably be requested by the Holder,  subject to applicable  law regarding the
unrestricted  transfer of  securities,  the Company  will deliver to the Holder,
upon  delivery  to the Company of a  certificate  or  certificates  representing
Warrants or Warrant  Shares  bearing the legend set forth in S ction 5.10, a new
certificate or certificates representing such Warrants or Warrant Shares but not
bearing such legend.

                  6.  COMPANY'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF OBLIGATIONS

                  The Company  will,  at the time of any  exercise of  Warrants,
upon the request of the Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation
to afford to the  Holder all rights to which the  Holder  shall  continue  to be
entitled  after such exercise in accordance  with the provisions of this W rrant
Certificate;  provided, however, that, if the Holder shall fail to make any such
request,  such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company
to afford to the Holder any such rights.

                  7.  ADJUSTMENTS

                  The number of Warrant Shares  purchasable  pursuant hereto and
the Purchase Price per Warrant Share shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time on and after the Date of Issuance as  hereinafter  provided in this Section
7.

                                     - 15 -
7.1.  Adjustment of Purchase Price. The initial purchase price
per Warrant Share of $1.06 per share shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time as  hereinafter  provided on or after the Date of Issuance  (as so adjusted
from time to time, the "Purchase Price").  Upon each adjustment of the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable  pursuant hereto, the Purchase Price shall be reduced
to  a  price  determined  by  dividing  the  aggregate  Purchase  Price  of  all
unexercised Warrant Shares in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the
maximum  total  number of  Warrant  Shares  purchasable  immediately  after such
adjustment.

                  7.2. Adjustment of Number of Shares. If and whenever after the
Date of Issuance the Company shall in any manner (i) issue or sell any shares of
its Common Stock, (ii) grant any rights to subscribe for or to purchase,  or any
options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or securiti s convertible
into or  exchangeable  for Common  Stock (such  rights or options  being  herein
called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable  stock or securities being
herein  called  "Convertible  Securities"),  (iii)  issue  or  sell  Convertible
Securities,  whether or not the rights to  exchange  or convert  thereunder  are
immediately  exercisable,   or  (iv)  declare  a  dividend  or  make  any  other
distribution  upon any stock of the Company payable in Common Stock,  Options or
Convertible  Securities  (any of the matters  referred to in clauses (i),  (ii),
(iii) and (iv) being an  "Event"),  the Holder shall  thereafter  be entitled to
purchase in the aggregate,  at the Purchase Price  resulting from the adjustment
provided by Section 7.1, the number of Warrant  Shares equal to that  percentage
of the total number of shares of Common  Stock  (determined  on an  as-converted
basis) that the Holder was entitled to purchase immediately prior to such Event;
provided,  however,  that,  if an  adjustment is required to be made pursuant to
this sentence in respect of any Event that involves the offer and/or issuance of
securities  to  all  of the  holders  of the  Common  Stock,  the  Holder  shall
thereafter be entitled to receive the number of Warrant  Shares which the Holder
would have owned immediately following such Event (on an as-converted basis) had
the Warrants been  exercised  immediately  prior  thereto.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  no adjustment  shall be made pursuant to any Event:  (i) at any time
prior to the date that is 30 months  after the  repayment  in full of all of the
outstanding principal under the Term Loan Agreement if (A) the securities issued
in  connection  with  the  Event  were  sold  for  a  price  (determined  on  an
as-converted  basis) exceeding the Purchase Price or (B) if the Event that would
result in such adjustment was approved in advance in writing by the holders of a
majority of the shares of Common Stock  (determined  on an  as-converted  basis)
issuable  upon  the  exercise  of  the  warrants   represented  by  the  Warrant
Certificates,  which  approval  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld;  and (ii)
following  the date that is 30 months after the  repayment in full of all of the
outstanding principal under the Term Loan Agreement;  provided,  however,  that,
notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  set forth in  clauses  (i) and (ii)
above,  the  adjustments  provided for in the first sentence of this Section 7.2
shall  continue to be made in respect of any Event to the extent that such Event
involves the offer and/or  issuance of  securities  to all of the holders of any
class of securities of the Company;  provided,  further,  however, that, nothing
contained in this sentence  shall limit the effect of any  adjustment to be made
pursuant to any other Section of this Warrant  Certificate.  Notwithstanding the
first sentence of this paragraph,  no adjustment  shall be made pursuant to this
Section  7.2 in  respect  of the  issuance  of (i)  Common  Stock or  Options to
employees, directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries under bona
fide employee  benefit  plans  adopted by the Board of Directors,  to the extent
that,  with respect to any  applicable  fiscal  year,  shares of Common Stock or
Options representing (on an as-converted basis) no more

                                     - 16 -
than 1% of the  issued  and  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock on the Date of
Issuance are issued,  (ii) Common Stock in the ordinary course of business,  the
issuance  of which has been  approved by the Board of  Directors,  to the extent
that,  with  respect  to any  applicable  fiscal  year,  shares of Common  Stock
representing  (on an  as-converted  basis)  no more than .5% of the  issued  and
outstanding  shares of Common  Stock on the Date of Issuance are issued or (iii)
warrants  or  shares  of  Common  Stock  pursuant  to the terms of the Term Loan
Agreement.

                  7.3. Record Date. In case at any time the Company shall take a
record of the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling  them (i)
to receive a dividend or other  distribution  payable in shares of Common  Stock
Options or in Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase shares
of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall,
for purposes of the adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 7, be deemed
to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have
been  issued  or sold  upon  the  payment  of  such  dividend  or of such  other
distribution  or the  date of the  granting  of such  right of  subscription  or
purchase, as the case may be.

                  7.4.  Liquidating  Dividends.  The Company  will not declare a
dividend  upon the  Common  Stock  payable  other  (i) than out of  consolidated
earnings  for the fiscal year of the Company in respect of which the dividend is
paid,  determined in accordance with Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Principles
consistently applied by the Company's  independent certified public accountants,
including the making of appropriate  deductions for minority interests,  if any,
in  subsidiaries,  or (ii) than in ommon  Stock,  unless,  in either  case,  the
Company shall pay over to the Holder,  on the dividend  payment date,  the cash,
stock or other  securities  and other  property  which  the  Holder  would  have
received if the Holder had  exercised  the Warrants in full to purchase  Warrant
Shares  and had been the  record  holder of such  Warrant  Shares on the date on
which a record is taken for the purpose of such dividend, or, if a record is not
taken,  the date as of which the holders of Common  Stock of record  entitled to
such  dividend  are to be  determined.  For the  purposes  of the  foregoing,  a
dividend other than in cash shall be considered  payable out of earnings only to
the extent that such  earnings  are charged an amount equal to the fair value of
such  dividend  as  determined  in good faith by the Board of  Directors  of the
Company.

                  7.5. Subdivision or Combination of Shares. In case the Company
shall at any time  subdivide  its  outstanding  shares  of Common  Stock  into a
greater number of share , the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall thereafter be proportionally  reduced and the number of shares
of Common Stock purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased so that
the Holder  shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant  Shares which the
Holder would have owned immediately  following such action had the Warrants been
exercised  immediately  prior thereto at the aggregate  Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such action. In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be combined into a smaller number of shares,  the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall be  proportionately  increased,  and
the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock   purchasable   hereunder   shall  be
proportionately  reduced so that the Holder  shall  thereafter  be  entitled  to
receive  the  number  of  Warrant  Shares  which the  Holder  would  have  owned
immediately  following such action had the Warrants been  exercised  immediately
prior thereto at the aggregate  Purchase  Price in effect  immediately  prior to
such action.

                                     - 17 -
7.6.    Reorganization,    Merger,   etc.   If   any   capital
reorganization  or  reclassification  of the capital stock of the Company (other
than as provided in Section 7.5), or consolidation or merger of the Company with
another corporation,  or the sale or conveyance,  of all or substantially all of
its assets to another corporation,  shall be effected in such a way that holders
of the Common Stoc shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with
respect to or in exchange for shares of Common  Stock,  then,  prior to and as a
condition of such reorganization, reclassification,  consolidation, merger, sale
or conveyance,  lawful and adequate  provision  shall be made whereby the Holder
shall  thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon
the terms and conditions  specified in this Warrant  Certificate  and in lieu of
the Warrant Shares immediately  theretofore  purchasable and receivable upon the
exercise of the Warrants,  such shares of stock,  securities or assets as may be
issued or payable  with  respect to or in exchange  for a number of  outstanding
shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore   purchasable  and  receivable  upon  the  exercise  of  the  rights
represented  hereby had such  reorganization,  reclassification,  consolidation,
merger,  sale or  conveyance  not taken  place.  In any such  case,  appropriate
provision  shall be made with respect to the rights and  interests of the Holder
to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions
for  adjustment  of the  Purchase  Price  and of the  number of  Warrant  Shares
purchasable  upon the  exercise  of the  Warrants  and for the  registration  of
Registrable  Securities to the extent provided in Section 5) shall thereafter be
applicable,  as nearly as may be in relation to any stock,  securities or assets
thereafter  deliverable upon the exercise  hereof.  The Company shall not effect
any  such  consolidation,   merger,  sale  or  conveyance  unless  prior  to  or
simultaneously   with  the  consummation   thereof  the  survivor  or  successor
corporation  (if other than the Company)  resulting from such  consolidation  or
merger or the  corporation  purchasing or otherwise  acquiring such assets shall
(i) assume by written instrument executed and sent to the Holder, the obligation
to deliver  to the  Holder  such  shares of stock,  securities  or assets as, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive,
and containing the express assumption by such survivor or successor  corporation
of the due and punctual  performance  and observance of every  provision of this
Warrant  Certificate  to be  performed  and  observed  by the Company and of all
liabilities  and obligations of the Company  hereunder,  and (ii) deliver to the
Holder an opinion of counsel, in form and substance  reasonably  satisfactory to
the Holder, to the effect that such written instrument has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by such survivor or successor corporation and constitutes
a legal,  valid and binding  instrument  enforceable  against  such  survivor or
successor  corporation in accordance with its terms, and to such further effects
as the Holder may request.

                  7.7.  Exceptions  to Adjustment  of Purchase  Price.  Anything
herein to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  the Company  shall not be required to
make any  adjustment of the Purchase  Price upon the issuance of Warrants or the
issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants.

                  7.8.  Treasury  Shares.  The number of shares of Common  Stock
outstanding  at any time shall not  include  shares  owned or held by or for the
account  of the  Company,  and the  disposition  of any  such  shares  shall  be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purposes of Section 7.

                                     - 18 -
7.9. Company to Prevent Dilution.  In case at any time or from
tim to time conditions arise, which are not adequately covered by the provisions
of this Section 7, and which might  materially and adversely affect the exercise
rights of the Holder, the Board of Directors of the Company shall appoint a firm
of independent  certified public  accountants of recognized  national  standing,
which may be the firm regularly retained by the Company,  which shall give their
opinion  upon the  adjustment,  if any,  necessary  with respect to the Purchase
Price  and/or  number  of  Warrant  Shares  issuable  upon the  exercise  of the
Warrants,  on a basis  consistent  with the standards  established  in the other
provisions of this Section 7, so as to preserve,  without dilution, the exercise
rights of the Holder.  Upon receipt of such  opinion,  the Board of Directors of
the Company shall forthwith make the adjustments described therein.

                  7.10.  Adjustment  Notices to  Holder.  Upon any  increase  or
decrease in the number of Warrant  Shares  purchasable  upon the exercise of the
arrants,  or upon any  adjustment  in the  Purchase  Price  (in each case to the
extent  applicable),  then,  and in each such case,  the  Company  within 5 days
thereafter,  shall deliver  written notice  thereof to the Holder,  which notice
shall state the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of the Warrants,  setting forth in reasonable  detail the method of
calculation  and the  facts  upon  which  such  calculations  are  based.  Where
appropriate,  such notice may be given in advance and  included as a part of the
notice required to be mailed under the provisions of Section 9.

                  8.  SPECIAL COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

                  The Company covenants and agrees that:

                  (a) The Company will not, by amendment of its  Certificate  of
Incorporation  or  through  any  capital  reorganization,  transfer  of  assets,
consolidation,  merger,  dissolution,  issue or sale of  securities or any other
voluntary  action,  directly or indirectly avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or  performance  of any of the terms of the  Warrants,  but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of
the Holder against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of the Warrant
Shares above the Purchase Price payable therefor upon such exercise, or take any
other action that would cause the  Purchase  Price to be less than the par value
of the Warrant  Shares,  (ii) will take all such action as may be  necessary  or
appropriate in order that the Company may at all times validly and legally issue
fully paid and  non-assessable  Warrant Shares upon the exercise of all Warrants
from time to time  outstanding and (iii) will not issue any capital stock of any
class which is preferred as to  dividends  or as to the  distribution  of assets
upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, unless the
rights of the holders  thereof  shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of
par value in respect of participation in dividends and in any such  distribution
of assets.

                  (b) If any shares of Common Stock  required to be reserved for
the purpose of exercising the Warrants require  registration with or approval of
any governmental authority under any federal law (other than the Securities Act)
or under any state law before su h shares  may be issued  upon  exercise  of the
Warrants, the Company will, at its expense, as expeditiously

                                     - 19 -
as possible,  use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or
approved, as the case may be.

                  (c) The Company will give notice to the Holder within ten days
after the  Company  shall have  filed  with the  Commission  an  application  to
register any securities of the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Company
will review ts stock ledgers,  stock transfer books and other corporate  records
periodically  (and not less  than  once in each  calendar  quarter)  in order to
determine  whether the Holder is or shall have become,  directly or  indirectly,
the owner of record of more than such  percentage  of any class of the Company's
equity securities (as defined in the Exchange Act) as shall cause such Holder to
be required to make any filing or declarations to the Company, the Commission or
any  securities  exchange  or  inter-dealer  quotation  system  pursuant  to the
provisions  of the  Exchange  Act or  the  rules  and  regulations  of any  such
securities  exchange or  inter-dealer  quotation  system.  The Company will give
prompt  notice to the Holder  whenever it shall have so  determined,  but in any
event  not  less  than  quarterly,  and  such  notice  shall  also  specify  the
information upon which the Company bases such determination; provided, that, the
Company  shall be  required to give such notice only once in each fiscal year to
the Holder if its  percentage  of  ownership of record of the  Company's  equity
securities  has not changed  since the date that the last such notice was given.
Nothing  contained  in this  paragraph  (c) of Section 8 be  construed  so as to
qualify or limit any reporting obligation of the Holder under the Exchange Act.

                  9.  NOTIFICATION BY THE COMPANY

                  In case at any time:

     (i) the Company shall declare any dividend or any other  distribution  upon
its Common Stock;

     (ii) the Company  shall offer for  subscription  pro rata to the holders of
its Common Stock any additional  shares of stock of any class or any Convertible
Securities or Options;

         (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company shall authorize any capital
reorganization  or  reclassification  of the capital stock of the Company,  or a
sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,  or
a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person;

     (iv)  actions  or  proceedings  shall  be  authorized  or  commenced  for a
voluntary or involuntary dissolution,  liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
or

         (v) the  Company  shall  propose  to take any other  action  that would
require a vote of the Company's  stockholders;  then, in any one or more of such
cases, the Company shall give written notice to the Holder, at the earliest time
legally  practicable  (and to the extent legally  practicable  and to the extent
determined  as of such  time),  not less than 30 days  before any record date or
other date set for definitive  action) of the date on which (A) the books of the
Company  shall close or a record shall be taken with  respect to such  dividend,
distribution, subscription rights or Options or (B) such

                                     - 20 -
reorganization,   reclassification,  sale,  conveyance,  consolidation,  merger,
dissolution,  liquidation,  winding-up  or other  action  shall take place or be
voted on by the  stockholders  of the  Company,  as the case may be. Such notice
shall also  specify the date as of which the  holders of Common  Stock of record
shall participate in said dividend, distribution, subscription rights or Options
or shall be entitled to exchange  their  Common  Stock for  securities  or other
property   deliverable  upon  such   reorganization,   reclassification,   sale,
conveyance,  consolidation,  merger, dissolution,  liquidation or winding-up, as
the case may be. If the action in  question or the record date is subject to the
effectiveness  of a  registration  statement  under the  Securities  Act or to a
favorable vote of  stockholders,  the notice required by this Section 9 shall so
state.

                  10. LIMITATION ON EXERCISE

                  Notwithstanding  any other provision hereof,  the Holder shall
not be entitled to exercise the Warrants if, as a result of such  exercise,  the
Holder would own, control or have power to vote a greater quantity of securities
of any kind  issued by the  Company  than the Holder  shall be  ermitted to own,
control or have the power to vote under any law or under any regulation, rule or
other  requirement or any  governmental  authority at any time applicable to the
Holder.  For purposes of this Section 10, a written  statement of the Holder, to
the effect that the Holder is legally  entitled to  exercise  Warrants  and that
such  purchase  of the  Warrant  Shares  purchasable  upon the  exercise of such
Warrants will not violate the prohibitions set forth in the preceding  sentence,
shall be  sufficient  evidence of the  legality  thereof and shall  obligate the
Company to deliver certificates  representing the Warrant Shares so purchased in
accordance with the other provisions  hereof unless the Company shall reasonably
disagree as to the accuracy of any material portion of such written statement.

                  11. NO VOTING RIGHTS; LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

                  The Warrants  will not entitle the Holder to any voting rights
or other rights as a stockholder  of the Company.  No provision  hereof,  in the
absence of affirmative  action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Shares,  and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to
any  liability  of the Holder  for any  portion  of the  Purchase  Price or as a
stockholder of the Company.

                  12. DATE OF ISSUANCE

                  The date the Company  initially  issues the  Warrants  will be
deemed to be the "Date of  Issuance"  thereof and of each new Warrant  issued in
xchange, transfer or replacement thereof,  regardless of the number of times new
certificates   representing  the  unexplored  and  unexercised  rights  formerly
represented by this Warrant Certificate shall be issued.

                  13. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

                  Except as otherwise  provided  herein,  the  provisions of the
Warrant  Certificates  may be amended and the  Company  may take  action  herein
prohibited,  or omit to perform any act herein  required to be  performed by it,
only if the Company has obtained the prior  written  consent of the holders of a
majority  of the  "Warrant  Shares"  then  outstanding  under all of the Warrant
Certificates  (determined  on an  as-converted  basis),  or,  in the case of any
amendment to, or action

                                     - 21 -
prohibited  or required  under,  Section 5.3,  5.4,  5.5, 5.6, 5.8 or 5.9 of any
Warrant Certificate,  the holders of a majority of the "Registrable  Securities"
under all of the Warrant  Certificates  (determined on an  as-converted  basis);
provided,  that,  changes that are detrimental to the Holder in (i) the Purchase
Price,  (ii) the number of or class of securities  issuable upon the exercise of
Warrants,  (iii) the conversion adjustment provisions set forth in Section 7 and
(iv) the indemnification  and contribution  provisions set forth in Section 5.7,
shall not be made as to the Holder without the consent of the Holder.

                  14. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES

                  The Company shall not be required to is ue stock  certificates
representing  fractions  of  shares of Common  Stock,  but may at its  option in
respect  of any final  fraction  of a share  make a payment in cash based on the
then effective Purchase Price.

                  15. RESERVATION OF SHARES

                  The Company will authorize,  reserve and keep available at all
times,  free from  preemptive  rights,  a sufficient  number of shares of Common
Stock or other  securities,  if so  required,  to satisfy  the  exercise  of the
Warrants

                  16. NOTICES

Securities," as the case may be, under all of the Warrant  Certificates  held by

assigns shall be included when making such calculation.

investor"  as such term is defined in the R le 501(c) of  Regulation D under the
