                                 PROMISSORY NOTE


                                                               Chicago, Illinois
$1,200,000.00                                                     March __, 1997

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, FAMCO II LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, a
Delaware limited liability company (the "BORROWER"), promises to pay to the 
order of _______________________ (the "Bank") at its office at 
_____________________________ _________________ the principal sum of One 
Million Two Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($1,200,000.00) on March 31, 
1998.  The Borrower further promises to pay interest at such office on the 
balance of principal remaining from time to time unpaid hereon at the rates 
and times set forth in this Note.

SECTION 1.  APPOINTMENT OF FISCAL AGENT.

     The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Family Financial Strategies, Inc.
("FFS") as his/her fiscal agent for the purpose of receiving all notices 
hereunder and selecting interest rates and interest options available to the 
Borrower hereunder.  The Bank is hereby authorized and directed to follow all 
instructions of FFS with respect to all matters concerning this Note and to 
give to FFS all notices hereunder or with respect to the Collateral, all of 
which shall be binding upon the Borrower.  The Borrower hereby indemnifies 
the Bank from any liability or loss ensuing from the Bank's reliance upon 
such instructions and notices.  The Borrower acknowledges that FFS serves in 
a similar role of fiscal agent for other participating family members under a 
Bank mortgage loan program, and that the interest rate alternatives available 
under this Note shall be exercised on behalf of the Borrower by FFS on a 
common and uniform basis for all or substantially all borrowers participating 
under this program.

SECTION 2.  INTEREST AND CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

     SECTION 2.1.   INTEREST RATE OPTIONS.  (a) Subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Section 2, portions of the principal indebtedness evidenced
by this Note (all of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note bearing interest at
the same rate for the same period of time being hereinafter referred to as a
"PORTION") may, at the option of FFS acting on behalf of the Borrower, bear
interest with reference to the Domestic Rate (the "DOMESTIC RATE PORTION") or
with reference to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate ("LIBOR PORTIONS"), and Portions may
be converted from time to time from one basis to another.  The interest rate
applicable to this Note will never be greater than 25% (the "MAXIMUM RATE"). 
All of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note which is not part of a LIBOR
Portion shall constitute a single Domestic Rate Portion, and all of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note which bears interest with reference to a
particular Adjusted LIBOR Rate for a particular Interest Period shall constitute
a single LIBOR Portion.  Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, there shall not be more than one LIBOR Portion applicable to
this Note outstanding at any one time.  The Borrower promises to pay interest on
each Portion at the rates and times specified in this Section 2.

<PAGE>

     (b)  DOMESTIC RATE PORTION.  The Domestic Rate Portion shall bear interest
at the rate per annum determined by subtracting the rate of  1/2 of 1% per 
annum from the Domestic Rate, provided that if the Domestic Rate Portion or 
any part thereof is not paid when due (whether by lapse of time, acceleration 
or otherwise) such Portion shall bear interest, whether before or after 
judgment, until payment in full thereof at the rate per annum determined by 
adding 2% to the Domestic Rate which would otherwise be applicable thereto 
from time to time. Interest on the Domestic Rate Portion shall be payable 
monthly in arrears on the last day of each month and at maturity of this Note 
and interest after maturity shall be due and payable upon demand.

     (c)  LIBOR PORTIONS.  Each LIBOR Portion shall bear interest for each
Interest Period selected therefor at a rate per annum determined by adding 
 .70% to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, provided that if 
any LIBOR Portion is not paid when due (whether by lapse of time, 
acceleration or otherwise) such Portion shall bear interest, whether before 
or after judgment, until payment in full thereof through the end of the 
Interest Period then applicable thereto at the rate per annum determined by 
adding 2% to the interest rate which would otherwise be applicable thereto, 
and effective at the end of such Interest Period such LIBOR Portion shall 
automatically be converted into and added to the Domestic Rate Portion and 
shall thereafter bear interest at the interest rate applicable to the 
Domestic Rate Portion after default.  Interest on each LIBOR Portion shall be 
due and payable on the last day of each month and at maturity (whether by 
lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise) and interest after maturity shall 
be due and payable upon demand.  Anything contained herein to the contrary 
notwithstanding, the obligation of the Bank to create, continue or effect by 
conversion any LIBOR Portion shall be conditioned upon the fact that at the 
time no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, 
and that the interest rate under this subsection (c) does not exceed the 
Maximum Rate.  Each LIBOR Portion under this Note and other loans outstanding 
under the family program referred to in Section 1 shall be in a minimum 
amount of $1,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of 
$100,000.

     SECTION 2.2.  COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.  All interest on the LIBOR Portions
of this Note shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the 
actual number of days elapsed, and all interest on the Domestic Rate Portion 
of this Note shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the 
actual number of days elapsed.

     SECTION 2.3.  MANNER OF RATE SELECTION.  FFS acting on behalf of the
Borrower shall notify the Bank (i) by 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least 
three (3) Business Days prior to the date upon which it requests that any 
LIBOR Portion be created or that any part of the Domestic Rate Portion be 
converted into a LIBOR Portion, and (ii) by 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the 
date upon which it requests that any Domestic Rate Portion be created or that 
any part of a LIBOR Portion be converted into a Domestic Rate Portion (each 
such notice to specify in each instance the amount thereof and the Interest 
Period selected therefor).  If FFS fails to notify the Bank on or before 
10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the third Business Day preceding the end of an 
interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Portion whether such LIBOR Portion is 
to continue as a LIBOR Portion and the new Interest Period selected therefor, 
such LIBOR Portion shall automatically be converted into and added to the 
Domestic Rate Portion as of and on the last day of such Interest Period.  If 
any request 

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

is made to convert a LIBOR Portion into another type of Portion available 
hereunder, such conversion shall only be made so as to become effective as of 
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.  All requests for the 
creation, continuance or conversion of Portions under this Note shall be 
irrevocable. Such requests may be written or oral and the Bank is hereby 
authorized to honor telephonic requests for creations, continuances and 
conversions received by it from any person the Bank in good faith believes to 
be a person authorized to act on behalf of the Borrower hereunder, the 
Borrower hereby indemnifying the Bank from any liability or loss ensuing from 
so acting.

     SECTION 2.4.  CHANGE OF LAW.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Note, if at any time the Bank shall determine in good faith that any change 
in applicable laws, treaties or regulations or in the interpretation thereof 
makes it unlawful for the Bank to create or continue to maintain any LIBOR 
Portion, it shall promptly so notify FFS on behalf of the Borrower and the 
obligation of the Bank to create, continue or maintain such LIBOR Portion 
under this Note shall terminate as of the date of such determination until it 
is no longer unlawful for the Bank to create, continue or maintain such LIBOR 
Portion.  Upon receipt of such notice from the Bank the Borrower shall, if 
the continued maintenance of any LIBOR Portion is unlawful, thereupon prepay 
the outstanding principal amount of the affected LIBOR Portion, together with 
all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable to the Bank with 
respect thereto under this Agreement; provided, however, that FFS on behalf 
of the Borrower may elect to convert the principal amount of the affected 
Portion into the Domestic Rate Portion available hereunder, subject to the 
terms and conditions of this Note.

     SECTION 2.5.  UNAVAILABILITY OF DEPOSITS OR INABILITY TO ASCERTAIN LIBOR 
OR ADJUSTED LIBOR RATE.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, if 
prior to the commencement of any Interest Period, the Bank shall determine 
that deposits in the amount of any LIBOR Portion scheduled to be outstanding 
during such Interest Period are not readily available to the Bank in the 
relevant market or by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, 
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR or the 
Adjusted LIBOR Rate, then the Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to FFS 
on behalf of the Borrower and the obligations of the Bank to create, continue 
or effect by conversion any LIBOR Portion, as the case may be, in such amount 
and for such Interest Period shall terminate until deposits in such amount 
and for the Interest Period selected by FFS on behalf of the Borrower shall 
again be readily available in the relevant market and adequate and reasonable 
means exist for ascertaining LIBOR or Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as the case may be.

     SECTION 2.6.  TAXES AND INCREASED COSTS.  With respect to any LIBOR
Portion, if the Bank shall determine in good faith that any change in any 
applicable law, treaty, regulation or guideline (including, without 
limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 
System) or any new law, treaty, regulation or guideline, or any 
interpretation of any of the foregoing by any governmental authority charged 
with the administration thereof or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary 
or other authority having jurisdiction over the Bank or its lending branch or 
the LIBOR Portions contemplated by this Note (whether or not having the force 
of law) shall:

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

         (i)   impose, increase, or deem applicable any reserve, special 
    deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or 
    for the account of, or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or 
    disbursements by, the Bank which is not in any instance already 
    accounted for in computing the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR 
    Portion;

         (ii)  subject the Bank, any LIBOR Portion or this Note to the extent 
    it evidences such Portion, to any tax (including, without limitation any
    United States interest equalization tax or similar tax however named
    applicable to the acquisition or holding of debt obligations and any
    interest or penalties with respect thereto), duty, charge, stamp tax, fee,
    deduction or withholding in respect of any LIBOR Portion or this Note to
    the extent it evidences such Portion, except such taxes as may be measured
    by the overall net income or gross receipts of the Bank or its lending
    branches and imposed by the jurisdiction, or any political subdivision or
    taxing authority thereof, in which the Bank's principal executive office or
    its lending branch is located;

         (iii) change the basis of taxation of payments of principal and
    interest due from the Borrower to the Bank under this Note to the extent it

    any other condition regarding its disbursement, any LIBOR Portion or this

increase the cost (whether by incurring a cost or adding to a cost) to the 
Bank of creating or maintaining any LIBOR Portion hereunder or to reduce the 
amount of principal or interest received or receivable by the Bank (without 
benefit of, or credit for, any prorations, exemption, credits or other 
offsets available under any such laws, treaties, regulations, guidelines or 
interpretations thereof), then the Borrower shall pay on demand to the Bank 
from time to time as specified by the Bank such additional amounts as the 
Bank shall reasonably determine are sufficient to compensate and indemnify it 
for such increased cost or reduced amount.  If the Bank makes such a claim 
for compensation, it shall provide to FFS on behalf of the Borrower a 
certificate setting forth the computation of the increased cost or reduced 
amount as a result of any event mentioned herein in reasonable detail and 
such certificate shall be conclusive if reasonably determined.

loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or 
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or 
other funds acquired or contracted to be acquired by the Bank to fund or 
maintain any LIBOR Portion or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits 
or other funds or amounts paid or prepaid to the Bank) as a result of any 
failure by the Borrower to create, borrow, continue or effect by conversion a 
LIBOR Portion on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to this Note, 
then upon the demand of the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such 
amount as will reimburse the Bank for such loss, cost or expense.  If the 
Bank requests such a reimbursement 

                                       -4-

it shall provide to FFS on behalf of the Borrower with a certificate setting 
forth the computation of the loss, cost or expense giving rise to the request 
for reimbursement in reasonable detail and such certificate shall be 
conclusive if reasonably determined.

     SECTION 2.8.  LENDING BRANCH.  The Bank may, at its option, elect to make,
fund or maintain Portions of the loan hereunder at such of its branches or 
offices as the Bank may from time to time elect.

     SECTION 2.9.  DISCRETION OF BANK AS TO MANNER OF FUNDING.  Notwithstanding
any provision of this Note to the contrary, the Bank shall be entitled to 
fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of this Note in any manner 
it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Note 
all determinations hereunder shall be made as if the Bank had actually funded 
and maintained each LIBOR Portion during each Interest Period applicable 
thereto through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market in the amount 
of such LIBOR Portion, having a maturity corresponding to such Interest 
Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the interest rate applicable to

option in any instance, endorsed on a schedule to this Note and the unpaid 
principal balance and status, rates and Interest Periods so recorded or 
endorsed by the Bank shall be PRIMA FACIE evidence in any court or other 
proceeding brought to enforce this Note of the principal amount remaining 
unpaid thereon, the status of the loan evidenced thereby and the interest 
rates and Interest Periods applicable thereto; provided, however, that the 
failure of the Bank to record any of the foregoing shall not limit or 
otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the principal amount 
of this Note together with accrued interest thereon. Prior to any negotiation 
of this Note, the Bank shall record on a schedule thereto the status of all 
amounts evidenced thereby as constituting part of the Domestic Rate Portion 
or LIBOR Portion and the rates of interest and the Interest Periods 
applicable thereto.

SECTION 4.     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

     The Borrower represents and warrants to the Bank that this Note does not

securities acceptable to the Bank in an amount such that the total principal 
amount outstanding hereunder shall at no time exceed 50% of the fair market 
value thereof (as determined by the Bank) but the Borrower acknowledges and 
agrees that the Bank may by notice to FFS on behalf of the Borrower require a 
higher collateral coverage or require substitute collateral in the event that

     not a Business Day, that Interest Period shall be extended to the next
     succeeding Business Day, unless in the case of an Interest Period for a

accrue on such principal from the stated due date thereof to and including the
next succeeding Business Day on which the same is payable.

     (b) If my payment of principal or interest on any LIBOR Portion shall fall
due on a day which is not a Business Day, the payment date thereof shall be
extended to the next date which is a Business Day and the Interest Period for
such Portion shall be accordingly extended, unless as a result thereof any
payment date would fall in the next calendar month, in which case such payment
date shall be the next preceding Business Day and the relevant Interest Period
shall be correspondingly abbreviated.  In either case, the next Interest Period

rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies.

    Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matter that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment

acknowledges that the Shares are a speculative risk. Subscriber is able to fend
for itself in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, can bear the

of such investment) for an indefinite period of time and has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares.

Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the 1933
Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the

requested, in order to evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective
investments contemplated herein.  Subscriber further represents and acknowledges
that it has been solely responsible for its own "due diligence" investigation of
the Company and its management and business, for its own analysis of the merits
and risks of this investment, and for its own analysis of the fairness and
desirability of the terms of the investment.  The foregoing, however, does not
limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2
hereof.

                             RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES
                                       OF
                                  CLASS A STOCK
                                       OF
                          MEDICAL GRAPHICS CORPORATION 


     The undersigned, being the Chairman of Medical Graphics Corporation, 
hereby certifies that (a) the following resolution was duly adopted on March 
25, 1997 by the Board of Directors of such Corporation, acting pursuant to 
the provision of section 302A.401, subdivision 3 of the Minnesota Business 
Corporation Act, for the purpose of designating a separate class of the 
Corporation's authorized stock as "Class A Stock" and fixing the relative 
rights and preferences of such class, and (b) such resolution has not been 
subsequently modified or rescinded:

     "RESOLVED, that 500,000 shares of this Corporation's authorized stock 
shall be designated as "Class A Stock," and the rights, preferences, 
privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the Class A Stock are 
as follows:

     (A)  VOTING RIGHTS.

     Each holder of Class A Stock shall have one vote on all matters 
submitted to the shareholders of this Corporation for each share of Common 
Stock $.05 par value ("Common Share") which such holder of Class A Stock 
would be entitled to receive upon the conversion such holder's Class A Stock 
pursuant to the provisions of subsection (C)(3) of this Certificate.  In 
addition, each holder of Class A Stock shall have the special voting rights 
which are described in subsection (C)(4) of this Certificate.  No holder of 
any Class A Stock shall have any cumulative voting rights.

     (B)  PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.

     No holder of Class A Stock shall be entitled as such, as a matter of 
right, to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any class of stock 
whatsoever, or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for any stock 
of any class whatsoever, whether now or hereafter authorized and whether 
issued for cash or other consideration or by way of dividend.

<PAGE>

     (C)  CLASS A STOCK.

          (1)  DIVIDENDS.  In the event that this Corporation declares and 
pays any cash dividends with respect to its Common Shares, the holders of 
Class A Stock shall be entitled to receive a cash dividend per share equal to 
the cash dividend that would otherwise be payable with respect to each such 
share if it had been converted into Common Shares pursuant to the provisions 
of subsection (C)(3) of this Certificate.

          (2)  LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.  In the event of the liquidation, 
dissolution or winding up of this Corporation, whether voluntary or 
involuntary, the holders of the Class A Stock shall be entitled to receive in 
cash, out of the assets of this Corporation, an amount equal to $3.375 per 
share for each outstanding share of Class A Stock before any payment shall be 
made or any assets distributed to the holders of this Corporation's Common 
Shares or any other class of shares of this Corporation; and the holders of 
the Class A Stock shall not be entitled to share in any other assets of this 
Corporation thereafter remaining.  If, upon any liquidation or dissolution of 
this Corporation, the assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay such 
$3.375 per share for each outstanding share of Class A Stock, the holders of 
such shares shall share pro rata in any such distribution in proportion to 
the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

          (3)  CONVERSION RIGHTS.  (a) Each share of Class A Stock shall be 
convertible at the option of the holder thereof into one Common Share of this 
Corporation, subject to adjustment as provided below.  In order to exercise 
the conversion privilege, a holder of the Class A Stock shall surrender the 
certificate to the Corporation at its principal office, accompanied by 
written notice to the Corporation that the holder elects to convert a 
specified portion or all of such shares.  Class A Stock shall be deemed to 
have been converted on the day of surrender of the certificate representing 
such shares for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and 
at such time the rights of the holder of such Class A Stock, as such holder, 
shall cease and such holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record 
holder of Common Shares issuable upon conversion.  As promptly as practicable 
on or after the conversion date, this Corporation shall issue and mail or 
deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of Common 
Shares issuable upon conversion, computed to the nearest one hundredth of a 
full share, and a certificate or certificates for the balance of the Class A 
Stock surrendered, if any, not so converted into Common Shares.

          (b)  The number of Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of 
any share of Series A Stock shall be adjusted from time to time to reflect 
changes in the capital structure of this Corporation, and shall be determined 
by dividing $3.375 by the conversion price (the "Conversion Price") then in 
effect. The Conversion Price shall initially be $3.375 and shall be subject 
to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided:


                                        2
<PAGE>


               (i)  In case this Corporation shall declare a dividend upon 
its Common Shares payable otherwise than in cash out of earnings or surplus 
(including a dividend payable in Common Shares), then thereafter each holder 
of Class A Stock upon the conversion thereof will be entitled to receive the 
number of Common Shares into which such Class A Stock shall be converted, 
and, in addition and without payment therefor, the stock or other securities 
and other property (including Common Shares) which such holder would have 
received by way of dividends or distributions (otherwise than out of earnings 
or surplus) if continuously since the record date for any such dividend or 
distribution such holder (aa) has been the record holder of the number of 
Common Shares then received, and (bb) had retained all dividends or 
distributions in stock or securities payable in respect of such Common Shares 
or in respect of any stock or securities paid as dividends or distributions 
and originating directly or indirectly from such Common Shares.

              (ii)  In case this Corporation shall at any time subdivide or 
split its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the 
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or split 
shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding 
Common Shares of this Corporation shall be combined into a smaller number of 
shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination 
shall be appropriately increased.

             (iii)  If and whenever this Corporation shall (a) issue or sell 
any of its Common Shares for a consideration per share less than the 
Conversion Price then in effect, (b) issue or sell warrants, options or other 
rights to acquire its Common Shares at a price less than the Conversion Price 
then in effect, or (c) issue or sell any other securities that are 
convertible into its Common Shares for a purchase or exchange price less than 
the Conversion Price then in effect, other than (i) shares subject to options 
and warrants outstanding as of the date hereof, and (ii) shares issued 
pursuant  to the Corporation's Employee Stock Purchase Plan or any subsequent 
employee stock purchase plan adopted pursuant to Section 423 of the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, at prices lower than the Conversion Price, 
then, forthwith upon such issuance or sale, the Conversion Price in effect 
immediately prior to such issuance or sale shall be reduced to the purchase 
price or conversion or exchange price at which such issuance or sale is 
effected.

              (iv)  Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, then and in 
each such case this Corporation shall give written notice thereof, by 
first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered holders of the 
Class A Stock at the addresses of such holders as shown on the books of this 
Corporation, which notice shall state the Conversion Price resulting from 
such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares 
receivable at such price upon the conversion of the Class A Stock, setting 
forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which 
such calculation is based.

          (c) In case any time:


                                        3
<PAGE>


              (i)  this Corporation shall pay any dividend payable in stock 
upon its Common Shares or make any distribution (other than regular cash 
dividends) to the holders of its Common Shares; or

             (ii)  this Corporation shall offer by subscription pro rata to 
the holders of its Common Shares any additional shares of stock of any class 
or other rights; or 

            (iii)  there shall be any capital reorganization, 
reclassification of the capital stock of this Corporation, or consolidation 
or merger of this Corporation with, or sale of all or substantially all of 
its assets to another Corporation; or

             (iv)  there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, 
liquidation or winding up of this Corporation;

          Then, in any one or more of said cases, this Corporation shall give 
written notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the 
holders of the Class A Stock at the addresses of such holders as shown on the 
books of this Corporation, of the date on which (aa) the books of this 
Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, 
distribution or subscription rights, or (bb) such reorganization, 
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or 
winding up shall take place, as the case may be.  Such notice shall also 
specify the date as of which the holders of Common Shares of record shall 
participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or shall 
be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property 
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, 
merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be.  
Such written notice shall be given at least 20 days prior to the action in 
question and not less than 20 days prior to the record date or the date on 
which this Corporation's transfer books are closed in respect thereto.

     (4)  VOTING RIGHTS.  Except as otherwise required by law, so long as any 
shares of the Class A Stock remain outstanding, this Corporation shall not, 
without the vote or written consent by the holders of at least one half of 
the Class A Stock, voting together as a single class (a) participate in any 
reorganization, transfer of a substantial portion of its assets, 
consolidation, plan of exchange, or merger or acquisition (except for a mere 
reincorporation); or (b) authorize or issue any (i) preferred shares or (ii) 
shares of stock having priority over the Class A Stock or ranking on a parity 
therewith as to the payment of distribution of assets upon the liquidation or 
dissolution, voluntary or involuntary, of this Corporation; or (c) amend the 
Articles of Incorporation of this Corporation or this Certificate so as to 
alter any existing provision of this Certificate relating to the Class A 
Stock.

                                    Exhibit B
                          Registration Rights Agreement


1.   SHELF REGISTRATION

     (a)  SHELF REGISTRATION.  The Company shall, as promptly as practicable,
          after April 15, 1997 file with the SEC a Registration Statement for an
          offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415
          covering all of the Purchased Stock (as hereinafter defined) (the
          "Initial Shelf Registration").  The Company shall use its best efforts
          to file with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration within 30 days of
          April 15, 1997 and shall use its best efforts to cause such Shelf
          Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as
          promptly as practicable thereafter.  The Initial Shelf Registration
          shall be on From S-1 or another appropriate form permitting
          registration of such Purchased Stock for resales by holders in the
          manner or manners designated by them (including, without limitation,
          one or more underwritten offerings).  The Company shall not permit any
          securities other than the Purchased Stock to be included to any Shelf
          Registration.  The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the
          Initial Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities
          Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") until the date which is
          36 months from the date of filing (the "Effectiveness Period") or such
          shorter period ending when (i) all Purchased Stock covered by the
          Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and
          as contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration or (ii) a Subsequent
          Shelf Registration covering all of the Purchased Stock has been
          declared effective under the Securities Act.

     (b)  SUBSEQUENT SHELF REGISTRATION.  If the Initial Shelf Registration or
          any Subsequent Shelf Registration ceases to be effective for any
          reasons at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than
          because of the sale of all of the securities registered thereunder),
          the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal
          of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event
          shall within 30 days of such cessation of effectiveness amend the
          Shelf Registration in a manner to obtain the withdrawal of the order
          suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional "shelf"
          Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the
          Purchased Stock (a "Subsequent Shelf Registration").  If a Subsequent
          Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its best efforts to
          cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective as
          soon as practicable after such filing and to keep such Subsequent
          Shelf Registration continuously effective for a period equal to the
          number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number
          of days during which the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent
          Shelf Registration was previously continuously effective.  As used
          herein, the term "Shelf Registration" means the Initial Shelf
          Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registration.


                                        1
<PAGE>


     (c)  SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS.  The Company shall promptly supplement and
          amend any Shelf Registration if required by the rules, regulations or
          instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf
          Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably
          requested by the holders of a majority of the Purchased Stock covered
          by such Shelf Registration or by any underwriter of such Purchased
          Stock, in each case, with the Company's consent, which consent shall
          not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.   REQUIRED REGISTRATION.  Commencing upon the expiration of the 36 month
     period specified in Section 1, if the Company shall receive a written
     request therefor from any holder of the Purchased Stock not theretofore
     registered under the Securities Act, and sold, the Company shall prepare
     and file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the
     shares of Purchased Stock which are the subject of such request and shall
     use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
     effective.  In addition, upon the receipt of such request, the Company
     shall promptly give written notice to all other record holders (if any) of
     shares of Purchased Stock not theretofore registered under the Securities
     Act and sold that such registration is to be effected.  The Company shall
     include in such registration statement such shares of Purchased Stock for
     which it has received written requests to registered by such other record
     holders within 30 days after the delivery of the Company's written notice
     to such other record holders.  The Company shall be obligated to prepare,
     file and cause to become effective only three registration statements
     pursuant to this Section 2.

     Without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the holders for
     which registration has been requested pursuant to this paragraph 2, neither
     the Company nor any other holder of securities of the Company may include
     securities in such registration if in the good faith judgment of the
     managing underwriter of such public offering the inclusion of such
     securities would interfere with the successful marketing of the Purchased
     Stock or require the exclusion of any portion of the Purchased Stock to be
     registered.

3.   INCIDENTAL REGISTRATION.  Each time the Company shall determine to proceed
     with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement under
     the Securities Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash
     of any of its securities by it or any of its security holders (other than a
     registration statement on a form that does not permit the inclusion of
     shares by its security holders), the Company will give written notice of
     its determination to all record holders of Purchased Stock not theretofore
     registered under the Securities Act and sold.  Upon the written request of
     a record holder of any shares of Purchased Stock given within 30 days after
     receipt of any such notice from the Company, the Company will, except as
     herein provided, cause all such shares of Purchased Stock, the record
     holders of which have so requested registration thereof, to be included in
     such registration statement, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale
     or other disposition by the prospective seller or sellers of the Purchased
     Stock to be so registered; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
     prevent the Company from, at any time, abandoning or 


                                        2
<PAGE>


     delaying any such registration initiated by it; provided further, 
     however, that if the Company determines not to proceed with a registration
     after the registration statement has been filed with the Commission and 
     the Company's decision not to proceed is primarily based upon the 
     anticipated public offering price of the securities to be sold by the 
     Company, the Company shall promptly complete the registration for the 
     benefit of those selling security holders who wish to proceed with a 
     public offering of their securities.  If any registration pursuant to 
     this paragraph 3 shall be underwritten in whole or in part, the Company 
     may require that the Purchased Stock requested for inclusion pursuant 
     to this paragraph 3 be included in the underwriting on the same terms 
     and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through the 
     underwriters.  If in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter
     of a proposed underwritten public offering the inclusion of all of the 
     Purchased Stock originally covered by a request for registration would 
     reduce the number of shares to be offered by the Company or interfere 
     with the successful marketing of the shares of stock offered by the 
     Company, the number of shares of Purchased Stock otherwise to be included 
     in the underwritten public offering may be reduced pro rata (by number of
     shares) among the holders thereof requesting such registration, provided, 
     however, that after any such required reduction the Purchased Stock to be 
     included in such offering, together with any shares to be included in such 
     offering that are being offered by other selling shareholders, shall 
     constitute at least 25% of the total number of shares to be included in 
     such offering.  Those shares of Purchased Stock which are thus excluded 
     from the underwritten public offering shall be withheld from the market 
     by the holders thereof for a period, not to exceed 90 days, which the 
     managing underwriter reasonably determines if necessary in order to effect
     the underwritten public offering.

4.   REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.  If and whenever the Company is required by the
     provisions of paragraph 1, 2 or 3 hereof to effect the registration of
     shares of Purchased Stock under the Securities Act, the Company will:

     (a)  prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with
          respect to such securities, and use its best efforts to cause such
          registration statement to become and remain effective for such period
          as may be reasonably necessary to effect the sale of such securities,
          not to exceed (i) thirty-six months in the case of the Shelf
          Registration specified in Section 1 and (ii) nine months with respect
          to a registration statement not covered by Section 1;

     (b)  prepare and file with the Commission such amendments to such
          registration statement and supplements to the prospectus contained
          therein as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
          effective for such period as may be reasonably necessary to effect the
          sale of such securities, not to exceed (i) thirty-six months in the
          case of the Shelf Registration specified in Section 1 and (ii) nine
          months with respect to a registration statement not covered by Section
          1;

                                        3
<PAGE>


     (c)  furnish to the security holders participating in such registration and
          to the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable
          number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary
          prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as such
          underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public
          offering of such securities;

     (d)  use its best efforts to register or qualify the securities covered by
          such registration statement under such state securities or blue sky
          laws of such jurisdictions as such participating holders may
          reasonably request in writing within 20 days following the original
          filing of such registration statement, except that the Company shall
          not for any purpose be required to execute a general consent to
          service of process or to qualify to do business as a foreign
          corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified.

     (e)  notify the security holders participating in such registration,
          promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the time when such
          registration statement has become effective or a supplement to any
          prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been
          filed;

     (f)  notify such holders promptly of any request by the Commission for the
          amending or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus
          or for additional information;

     (g)  prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon the request of any
          such holders, any amendments or supplements to such registration
          statement or prospectus which, in the opinion of counsel for such
          holders (and concurred in by counsel for the Company), is required
          under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder in
          connection with the distribution of the Purchased Stock by such
          holder;

     (h)  prepare and promptly file with the Commission and promptly notify such
          holders of the filing of such amendment or supplement to such
          registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct
          any statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating
          to such securities is required to be delivered under the Securities
          Act, any event shall have occurred as the result of which any such
          prospectus or any other prospectus as then in effect would include an
          untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
          necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
          circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;

     (i)  advise such holders, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain
          knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission
          suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the
          initiation or threatening of any 


                                        4
<PAGE>


          proceeding for the purpose and promptly use its best efforts to 
          prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if 
          such stop order should be issued;

     (j)  not file any amendment or supplement to such registration statement or
          prospectus to which a majority in interest of such holders shall have
          reasonably objected on the grounds that such amendment or supplement
          does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the
          Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, after having
          been furnished with a copy thereof at least five business days prior
          to the filing thereof, unless in the opinion of counsel for the
          Company the filing of such amendment or supplement is reasonably
          necessary to protect the Company from any liabilities under any
          applicable federal or state law and such filing will not violate
          applicable law; and

     (k)  at the request of any such holder, furnish: (i) an opinion, dated as
          of the closing date, of the counsel representing the Company for the
          purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any,
          and to the holder or holders making such request, covering such
          matters as such underwriters and holder or holders may reasonably
          request; and (ii) letters dated as of the effective date of the
          registration statement and as of the closing date, from the
          independent certified public accountants of the Company, addressed to
          the underwriters, if any, and to the holder or holders making such
          request, covering such matters as such underwriters and holder or
          holders may reasonably request.

5.   EXPENSES.  With respect to each registration, the Company shall bear all
     fees, costs and expenses including, without limitation,: all registration,
     filing and NASD fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel
     and accountants for the Company, fees and disbursements of counsel for the
     underwriter or underwriters of such securities (if the Company and/or
     selling security holders are required to bear such fees and disbursements),
     all internal Company expenses, all legal fees and disbursements and other
     expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws of any
     jurisdictions in which the securities to be offered are to be registered or
     qualified, and the premiums and other costs of policies of insurance
     against liability (if any) arising out of such public offering and
     underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes relating to the
     shares included in the offering by the selling security holders.

6.   INDEMNIFICATION.  In the event that any Purchased Stock is included in a
     registration statement under paragraph 1, 2 or 3 hereof:

     (a)  The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each holder of shares of
          Purchased Stock which are included in a registration statement
          pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1, 2 or 3 hereof, its
          directors and officers, and any underwriter (as defined in the
          Securities Act) for such holder and each person, if any, who controls


                                        5
<PAGE>


          such holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
          Act, from and against, and will reimburse such holder and each such
          underwriter and controlling person with respect to, any and all loss,
          damage, liability, cost and expense to which such holder or any such
          underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the
          Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages,
          liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by any untrue statement or
          alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
          registration statement, any prospectus contained therein or any
          amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
          omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
          to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
          light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;
          provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such
          case to the extent that any such loss, damage, liability, cost or
          expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
          untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
          with information furnished by such holder, such underwriter or such
          controlling person in writing specifically for use in the preparation
          thereof.

     (b)  Each holder of shares of Purchased Stock which are included in a
          registration pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 1, 2 or 3
          hereof will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and
          officers, any controlling person or any underwriter from and against,
          and will reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, any
          controlling person and any underwriter with respect to, any and all
          loss, damage, liability, cost or expense to which the Company or any
          controlling person and/or any underwriter may become subject under the
          Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages,
          liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by any untrue or alleged
          untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration
          statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or
          supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
          the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
          stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
          of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each
          case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
          or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so
          made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written
          information furnished by such holder specifically for use in the
          preparation thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each holder's
          liability for indemnification shall be limited to the amount of the
          holder's original purchase price of the Purchased Stock.

     (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to the
          provisions of paragraph (a) and (b) of this paragraph 6 of notice of
          the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the
          foregoing indemnity provisions such indemnified party will, if a claim
          thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to the
          provisions of said paragraph (a) or (b), promptly notify the


                                        6
<PAGE>


          indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so
          notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability
          which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than hereunder. 
          In case such action is brought against any indemnified party and it
          notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
          indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
          extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party
          similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
          satisfactory to such indemnified party, provided, however, if the
          defendants in any action include both the indemnified party and the
          indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
          concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or
          other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to
          those available to the indemnifying party, or if there is a conflict
          of interest which would prevent counsel for the indemnifying party
          from also representing the indemnified party, the indemnified party or
          parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate
          in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
          parties.  After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
          party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
          indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
          pursuant to the provisions of said paragraph (a) or (b) for any legal
          or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
          connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
          investigation, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed
          counsel in accordance with the proviso of the preceding sentence, (ii)
          the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to
          the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a
          reasonable time after the notice of the commencement of the action, or
          (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel
          for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party.

7.   SPECIAL DEFINITION.  "Purchased Stock" shall mean the Company's Class A
     Stock purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 31,
     1997, all Common Stock issued in exchange or substitution thereof, whether
     or not such securities have in fact been issued, and the stock or other
     securities of the Company issued in a stock split or reclassification of,
     or a stock dividend or other distribution on or in substitution or exchange
     for, or otherwise in connection with, any of the foregoing securities, or
     in a merger or consolidation involving the Company or a sale of all or
     substantially all of the Company's assets.  Nothing in this paragraph
     shall, however, be deemed to require the Company to register the Class A
     Stock, it being understood that the securities actually being registered
     are shares of Common Stock of the Company into which the Purchased Stock is
     convertible.
