4. Income Taxes:

    The Company's estimated effective tax rate for 1995 is 39% compared 
to 32% in 1994.  The lower rate in 1994 is primarily due to the limited 
state tax benefit of losses.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                   Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Condition
-------------------
    Cash and cash equivalents decreased $70,000 during the six months 
ended July 2, 1995 and the Company received $2 million from the issuance 
of term debt.  The main uses of the cash were operations ($1,248,000) and 
capital expenditures ($827,000).  A decrease in accounts payable of 
$998,000 and an increase in inventory of $800,000, partially offset by
$659,000 of depreciation expense, were the main reasons for the use of 
cash by operations.  Overall inventory increased 14% with all segments 
reporting higher levels in order to support the increased levels of 
current and projected future business.  
         
    The Company spent $827,000 on capital expenditures during the six 
months ended July 2, 1995.  Machinery and equipment additions in the 
steel cable segment accounted for the majority of these expenditures.  
These additions are geared toward adding new and upgrading existing 
production capabilities and processes within this segment.

    Management believes that based on its current working capital, the 
expected cash flows from operations, and its $1 million line of credit, 
the Company's present resources are sufficient to meet its financial 
needs in 1995 including a remaining capital expenditures budget of 
$873,000.  However, management continues to investigate the possibility 
of increasing its line of credit facility in order to give the Company 
additional flexibility as its businesses grow.

Results of Operations
---------------------
    Net sales for the quarter and six months ended July 2, 1995 increased 
$1,209,000 (21%) and $1,842,000 (16%), respectively, over the comparable 
periods in 1994.  The following table presents by segment the amounts and 
percentages of sales increase from the corresponding prior year periods.

  Electronics
  -----------
    All product lines reported significant sales increases over both 1994 
periods.  The majority of the sales increases were attributable to higher 
sales to both OEM and contract manufacturers in the telecommunications 
market and to the distributor markets. 





                                   -8-
<PAGE>
  Instruments
  -----------
    During both periods, higher sales to the non-destructive 
testing/evaluation ("NDT/NDE") markets accounted for the majority of the 
net sales increases over last year.  Current year sales to the colloidal 
market remained relatively flat with the 1994 periods, while sales to the 
medical research markets declined slightly from 1994 levels during both 
periods.  
    
    The sales increases to the NDT/NDE markets were attributable to 
higher sales of its custom test systems.  The sales declines to the 
medical research market resulted from lower foreign sales, partially 
offset by higher domestic sales.    
      
  Steel Cable
  -----------  
    During both periods, overall sales to most markets remained level 
with or increased slightly over the 1994 periods.  The net sales declines 
in both periods were mainly attributable to lower sales of assembly 
products to the fitness equipment market.  

                                   
Gross Profit
------------
    During the quarter and six months ended July 2, 1995, total gross 
profit increased 20% and 17%, respectively, over the comparable 1994 
periods.  During both periods, the overall gross profit percentage 
remained level with the prior year.  The electronics segment reported 
increases in its gross profit percentages during both these periods, 
offset by lower margins in both the instruments and steel cable segments.
   
    In the electronics segment, the increases in the gross profit 
percentages over 1994 (47% for the quarter and 26% for the six months) 
were mainly due to the favorable effects of allocating the fixed overhead 
expenses over the increased sales levels, increased sales of internally 
manufactured products which produce a higher margin than that from the 
resale of imported products, and product yield improvements.    

    The overall gross margin rate in the instrument segment declined 19% 
and 13% from that in 1994 during the quarter and the six months ended 
periods, respectively.  Changes in the product mix of sales, higher 
occupancy costs due to increased space requirements of the segment, and 
increased personnel costs caused by additional employees were the main 
factors contributing to the lower overall margins.  

    In the steel cable segment, the current year gross profit percentage 
decreased 27% and 13% from 1994 during the quarter and the six months 
ended periods, respectively.  During both periods, the lower margins were 
primarily due to the start-up expenses and the operating inefficiencies 
associated with several new programs scheduled for second and third 
quarter production, increased depreciation expense, and the effect of the 
fixed operating costs over the lower sales volume.   

          




                                   -9-

Operating Expenses
------------------
    During the quarter and six months ended July 2, 1995, selling and 
administrative expenses increased $193,000 (12%) and $204,000 (6%), 
respectively, over the 1994 comparable periods.  Higher selling expenses  
accounted for the increase during both periods.  Increased sales 
commission expense in the electronics and instrument segments and 
increased personnel expenses due to additional employees in all segments  
were the major items causing the higher selling expenses.

    During the quarter and six months ended July 2, 1995, research and 
development expenses decreased $133,000 and $260,000, respectively, from 
the corresponding periods in 1994.  These expense decreases are due to 
lower expenses as product and process development projects in both the 
instruments and electronics segments were completed in 1994.

Other Income (Expense), net

    Other income (expense), net includes the following items:

                             ======   ======     ======   ====== 
    The increases in interest expense are attributable to the higher 
levels of outstanding debt during 1995.  The increased losses in the real 
estate operations are mainly attributable to lower levels of rental 
income.
    

    The Company reported operating profits of $153,000 and $260,000 
during the quarter and six months ended July 2, 1995, respectively, 
versus losses of $143,000 and $380,000, respectively, in the comparable 
1994 periods.  Non-operating expenses increased $103,000 and $185,000 
over the corresponding 1994 periods, respectively, mainly as a result of 
increased interest expense.  As a result, the Company reported a pre-tax 
profit of $47,000 for the quarter ended July 2, 1995 versus a pre-tax 
loss of $146,000 for the 1994 period.  For the six months ended July 2, 
1995, the Company reported a pre-tax profit of $56,000 versus a $399,000 
pre-tax loss in 1994.  The improvements in the 1995 operating performance 
are mainly due to the higher sales level, the increased gross margin, and 
the decrease in operating expenses.  The Company expects to see 
continuing improvements in operating performance during 1995 based on the 
projected sales increases resulting from both the Company's sales of new 
products developed in recent years and in sales, product promotion and 
customer service geared to increasing market share.

                              MATEC CORPORATION

                        Common Stock Purchase Warrant

      Matec Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby  
certifies that, for value received Massachusetts Capital Resource  Company, 
or assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth  below, to purchase 
from the Company at any time or from time to time  before 5:00 P.M., Boston

17 hereof, 85,000 fully paid and  nonassessable shares of Common Stock, 
$.05 par value, of the Company,  at a purchase price per share of $4.75 
(such purchase price per share  as adjusted from time to time as herein 
provided is referred to herein  as the "Purchase Price").  The number and 
character of such shares of  Common Stock and the Purchase Price are 
subject to adjustment as  provided herein.  

      This Warrant is one of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the  
"Warrants") evidencing the right to purchase shares of Common Stock of  the 
Company, issued pursuant to a certain Secured Note and Warrant  Purchase 
Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of April 12, 1995,  among the 
Company, Bergen Cable Technologies, Inc., Matec Applied  Sciences, Inc., 
Matec Instruments, Inc., Valpey-Fisher Corporation and  Massachusetts

Agreement and any other securities into which or for which any of such  
Common Stock may be converted or exchanged pursuant to a plan of  
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.  

           (c)  The term "Other Securities" refers to any stock (other  
than Common Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other  person 
(corporate or otherwise) which the holders of the Warrants at  any time 
shall be entitled to receive, or shall have received, on the  exercise of 
the Warrants, in lieu of or in addition to Common Stock,  or which at any 
time shall be issuable or shall have been issued in  exchange for or in 
replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities  pursuant to section 5 or 
otherwise.  

     1.  EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

subscription at the end hereof duly executed by such holder, to the  
Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment, in cash or by  
certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company,  in 
the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common  Stock 
for which this Warrant is then exercisable by the Purchase Price  then in 
effect.  

          1.2.  PARTIAL EXERCISE.  This Warrant may be exercised in  part 
by surrender of this Warrant in the manner and at the place  provided in 
subsection 1.1 except that the amount payable by the  holder on such 
partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by  multiplying (a) the 
number of shares of Common Stock designated by the  holder in the 
subscription at the end hereof by (b) the Purchase Price  then in effect.  
On any such partial exercise the Company at its  expense will forthwith 
issue and deliver to or upon the order of the  holder hereof a new Warrant 
or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of  the holder hereof or as such 
holder (upon payment by such holder of  any applicable transfer taxes) may 
request, calling in the aggregate  on the face or faces thereof for the 
number of shares of Common Stock  for which such Warrant or Warrants may 
still be exercised.  

          1.3.  PAYMENT BY NOTES SURRENDER.  Notwithstanding the  payment 
provisions of subsections 1.1 and 1.2, all or part of the  payment due upon 
exercise of this Warrant in full or in part may be  made by the surrender 
by such holder to the Company of any of the  Company's Notes issued

against such payment in an amount equal  to the principal amount thereof 
plus premium (if any) and accrued  interest to the date of surrender.  

          1.4  NET ISSUE ELECTION.  The holder hereof may elect to  
receive, without the payment by such holder of any additional  
consideration, shares equal to the value of this Warrant or any  portion 
hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the  Company,

                                      A

where X = the number of shares to be issued to such holder pursuant to  
this subsection 1.4.

      Y = the number of shares covered by this Warrant in respect of which 
the net issue election is made pursuant to this subsection 1.4.

      A = the fair market value of one share of Common Stock, as  
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, as  at 
the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this subsection  1.4. 

      B = the Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant at the time  the 
net issue election is made pursuant to this subsection 1.4.

The Board of Directors of the Company shall promptly respond in  writing to 
an inquiry by the holder hereof as to the fair market value  of one share 
of Common Stock.  Except as is otherwise provided for in  the last sentence 
of section 17, the provisions of this subsection 1.4  shall not apply to 
the extent that the Purchase Price of this Warrant  to be so paid under 
this subsection 1.4 could be paid by the  application of the then 
outstanding Notes as provided in subsection  1.3.  

          1.5.  COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGMENT.  The Company will, at the time  of 
any partial exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the holder  hereof 
acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to  such holder 
any rights to which such holder shall continue to be  entitled after such 
exercise in accordance with the provisions of this  Warrant.  If the holder 
shall fail to make any such request, such  failure shall not affect the 
continuing obligation of the Company to  afford to such holder any such 
rights.

          1.6.  TRUSTEE FOR WARRANT HOLDERS.  In the event that a bank  or 
trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for the holders  of the 
Warrants pursuant to subsection 4.2, such bank or trust company  shall have 
all the powers and duties of a warrant agent appointed  pursuant to section 
12 and shall accept, in its own name for the  account of the Company or 
such successor person as may be entitled  thereto, all amounts otherwise 
payable to the Company or such  successor, as the case may be, on exercise 
of this Warrant pursuant to  this section 1.  

          1.7.  SECURITIES ACT.  Upon exercise of this Warrant, the  holder 
understands and agrees that, until the shares of Common Stock  to be issued 
upon such exercise shall have been registered under the  Securities Act of 
1933, as amended, or publicly sold pursuant to an  exemption therefrom, 
each certificate representing such shares will  bear the following legend 
or one substantially similar thereto:




                                   -3-
<PAGE>
                         The securities represented hereby have not been
                 registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
                 These securities have been acquired for investment and
                 not with a view to distribution or resale, and may not be
                 transferred or disposed of unless (1) a registration
                 statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
                 is then in effect with respect thereto and such sale is
                 made pursuant to such registration statement or (2) a
                 written opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to
                 the Company is obtained to the effect that such transfer
                 or disposition  will not violate the Securities Act of
                 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations
                 promulgated thereunder.  

     2.  DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES, ETC., ON EXERCISE.  As soon  as 
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part,  and in 
any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its  expense 
(including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes)  will cause to 
be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder  hereof, or as such 
holder (upon payment by such holder of any  applicable transfer taxes) may 
direct, a certificate or certificates  for the number of fully paid and 
nonassessable shares of Common Stock  (or Other Securities) to which such 
holder shall be entitled on such  exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional 
share to which such holder  would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such 
fraction multiplied by  the then current market value of one full share, 
together with any  other stock or other securities and property (including 
cash, where  applicable) to which such holder is entitled upon such 
exercise  pursuant to section 1 or otherwise.  

     3.  ADJUSTMENT FOR DIVIDENDS IN OTHER STOCK, PROPERTY, ETC.;  
RECLASSIFICATION, ETC.  In case at any time or from time to time, the  
holders of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall have received, or  (on 
or after the record date fixed for the determination of  shareholders 
eligible to receive) shall have become entitled to  receive, without 
payment therefor,  

          (a)  other or additional stock or other securities or  property 
(other than cash) by way of dividend, or 

          (b)  any cash (excluding cash dividends payable solely out  of 
earnings or earned surplus of the Company), or 

          (c)  other or additional stock or other securities or  property 
(including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up,  reclassification, 
recapitalization, combination of shares or similar  corporate 
rearrangement, 

other than additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)  issued 
as a stock dividend or in a stock-split (adjustments in respect  of which 
are provided for in subsection 5.4), then and in each such  case the holder 
of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in  section 1, shall be 
entitled to receive the amount of stock and other  securities and property 
(including cash in the cases referred to in  subdivisions (b) and (c) of 
this section 3) which such holder would  hold on the date of such exercise 
if on the date hereof

                                   -4-
<PAGE>
 he had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock 
called  for on the face of this Warrant and had thereafter, during the 
period  from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise,  
retained such shares and all such other or additional stock and other  
securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in  
subdivisions (b) and (c) of this section 3) receivable by him as  aforesaid 
during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such 
period by sections 4 and 5.  

     4.  ADJUSTMENT FOR REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.  

          4.1.  In case at any time or from time to time, the Company  
shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into  any 
other person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its  properties 
or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement  contemplating 
the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case,  the holder of 
this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in  section 1 at any time 
after the consummation of such reorganization,  consolidation or merger or 
the effective date of such dissolution, as  the case may be, shall receive, 
in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other  Securities) issuable on such 
exercise prior to such consummation or  such effective date, the stock and 
other securities and property  (including cash) to which such holder would 
have been entitled upon  such consummation or in connection with such 
dissolution, as the case  may be, if such holder had so exercised this 
Warrant, immediately  prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment 
thereafter as  provided in sections 3 and 5.  

          4.2.  DISSOLUTION.  In the event of any dissolution of the  
Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its  
properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at  its 
expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other  securities 
and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable  by the holders 
of the Warrants after the effective date of such  dissolution pursuant to 
this section 4 to a bank or trust company  having its principal office in 
Boston, Massachusetts, as trustee for  the holder or holders of the 
Warrants.  

          4.3.  CONTINUATION OF TERMS.  Upon any reorganization,  
consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any  
transfer) referred to in this section 4, this Warrant shall continue  in 
full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to  the 
shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on  the 
exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such  reorganization, 
consolidation or merger or the effective date of  dissolution following any 
such transfer, as the case may be, and shall  be binding upon the issuer of 
any such stock or other securities,  including, in the case of any such 
transfer, the person acquiring all  or substantially all of the properties 
or assets of the Company,  whether or not such person shall have expressly 
assumed the terms of  this Warrant as provided in section 6.

     5.  ADJUSTMENT FOR ISSUE OR SALE OF COMMON STOCK AT LESS THAN THE  
PURCHASE PRICE IN EFFECT.  

          5.1.  GENERAL.  If the Company shall at any time or from  time to 
time, issue any additional shares of Common Stock (other than  shares of 
Common Stock excepted from the provisions of this section 5  by subsections 
5.4 and 5.5) without consideration or for a net  consideration per share 
less than the Purchase Price in effect  immediately prior to such issuance, 
then, and in each such case:  (a)  the Purchase Price shall be lowered to 
an amount determined by  multiplying such Purchase Price then in effect by 
a fraction:  

                (1)  the numerator of which shall be (a) the number of
     shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the  issuance
     of such additional shares of Common Stock, plus (b) the  number of
     shares of Common Stock which the net aggregate  consideration, if any,
     received by the Company for the total  number of such additional
     shares of Common Stock so issued would  purchase at the Purchase Price
     in effect immediately prior to  such issuance, and 

                (2)  the denominator of which shall be (a) the number  of
     shares of Common stock outstanding immediately prior to the  issuance
     of such additional shares of Common Stock plus (b) the  number of such
     additional shares of Common Stock so issued;  

and (b) the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise  
hereof as provided in section 1, be entitled to receive the number of  
shares of Common stock determined by multiplying the number of shares  of 
Common Stock which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this  
subsection 5.1) be issuable on such exercise by the fraction of which  (i) 
the numerator is the Purchase Price which would otherwise (but for  the 
provisions of this subsection 5.1) be in effect, and (ii) the  denominator 
is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such  exercise.  

5.2.  DEFINITIONS, ETC.  For purposes of this section 5 and of section 7:  

                The issuance of any warrants, options or other
     subscription or purchase rights with respect to shares of Common
     Stock and the issuance of any securities convertible into or
     exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (or the issuance of any
     warrants, options or any rights with respect to such convertible or
     exchangeable securities) shall be deemed an issuance at such  time of
     such Common Stock if the Net Consideration Per Share  which may be
     received by the Company for such Common Stock (as  hereinafter
     determined) shall be less than the Purchase Price at  the time of such
     issuance and, except as hereinafter provided, an  adjustment in the
     Purchase Price and the number of shares of  Common Stock issuable upon
     exercise of this Warrant shall be made  upon each such issuance in the
     manner provided in subsection 5.1.   Any obligation, agreement or
     undertaking to issue warrants,  options, or other subscription or
     purchase rights at any time in  the future shall be deemed to be an
     issuance at the time such  obligation, agreement or undertaking


                                   -6-
<PAGE>
     is made or arises.  No  adjustment of the Purchase Price and the
     number of shares of  Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
     Warrant shall be made  under subsection 5.1 upon the issuance of any
     shares of Common  Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of
     any warrants,  options or other subscription or purchase rights or
     pursuant to  the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any 
     convertible securities if any adjustment shall previously have  been
     made upon the issuance of any such warrants, options or  other rights
     or upon the issuance of any convertible securities  (or upon the
     issuance of any warrants, options or any rights  therefor) as above
     provided. Any adjustment of the Purchase Price  and the number of
     shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise  of this Warrant with
     respect to this subsection 5.2 which relates  to warrants, options or
     other subscription or purchase rights  with respect to shares of
     Common Stock shall be disregarded if,  as, and when all of such
     warrants, options or other subscription  or purchase rights expire or
     are canceled without being  exercised, so that the Purchase Price
     effective immediately upon  such cancellation or expiration shall be
     equal to the Purchase  Price in effect at the time of the issuance of
     the expired or  canceled warrants, options or other subscriptions or
     purchase  rights, with such additional adjustments as would have been
     made  to that Purchase Price had the expired or canceled warrants, 
     options or other subscriptions or purchase rights not been  issued.
     For purposes of this subsection 5.2, the "Net  Consideration Per
     Share" which may be received by the Company  shall be determined as
     follows:  

                     (A)  The "Net Consideration Per Share" shall mean the
         amount equal to the total amount of consideration, if  any,
         received by the Company for the issuance of such  warrants,
         options, subscriptions, or other purchase rights  or convertible
         or exchangeable securities, plus the minimum  amount of
         consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon  exercise or
         conversion thereof, divided by the aggregate  number of shares of
         Common Stock that would be issued if all  such warrants, options,
         subscriptions, or other purchase  rights or convertible or
         exchangeable securities were  exercised, exchanged or converted.  

                     (B)  The "Net Consideration Per Share" which may  be
         received by the Company shall be determined in each  instance as
         of the date of issuance of warrants, options,  subscriptions or
         other purchase rights, or convertible or  exchangeable securities
         without giving effect to any  possible future price adjustments or
         rate adjustments which  may be applicable with respect to such
         warrants, options,  subscriptions or other purchase rights or
         convertible  securities.  

    For purposes of this section 5, if a part or all of the  consideration 
received by the Company in connection with the issuance  of shares of the 
Common Stock or the issuance of any of the securities  described in this 
section 5, consists of property other than cash,  such consideration shall 
be deemed to have the same value



                                   -7-
<PAGE>
as shall be  determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the 
Company.  

    This subsection 5.2 shall not apply under any of the  circumstances 
described in subsections 5.4 and 5.5.  

          5.3.  DILUTION IN CASE OF OTHER SECURITIES.  In case any  Other 
Securities shall be issued or sold, or shall become subject to  issue upon 
the conversion or exchange of any stock (or Other  Securities) of the 
Company (or any other issuer of Other Securities or  any other person 
referred to in section 4) or to subscription,  purchase or other 
acquisition pursuant to any rights or options  granted by the Company (or 
such other issuer or person), for a  consideration per share such as to 
dilute the purchase rights  evidenced by this Warrant, the computations, 
adjustments and  readjustments provided for in this section 5 with respect 
to the  Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable 
upon  exercise of this Warrant shall be made as nearly as possible in the  
manner so provided and applied to determine the amount of Other  Securities 
from time to time receivable on the exercise of the  Warrants, so as to 
protect the holders of the Warrants against the  effect of such dilution.  

          5.4.  EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS.  In the event that the Company  shall 
(i) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or  other 
distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its  outstanding 
shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding  shares of the 
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the  Common Stock, then, in 
each such event, the Purchase Price shall,  simultaneously with the 
happening of such event, be adjusted by  multiplying the then Purchase 
Price by a fraction, the numerator of  which shall be the number of shares 
of Common Stock outstanding  immediately prior to such event and the 
denominator of which shall be  the number of shares of Common Stock 
outstanding immediately after  such event, and the product so obtained 
shall thereafter be the  Purchase Price then in effect.  The Purchase 
Price, as so adjusted,  shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the 
happening of any  successive event or events described herein in this 
subsection 5.4.   The holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the 
exercise hereof as  provided in section 1, be entitled to receive that 
number of shares of  Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of 
shares of Common  Stock which would otherwise (but for the provisions of 
this subsection  5.4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which 
(i) the  numerator is the Purchase Price which would otherwise (but for 
the  provisions of this subsection 5.4) be in effect, and (ii) the  
denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such  exercise.  

          5.5  EXCLUDED SHARES.  Section 5.1 shall not apply to the  
issuance of shares of Common Stock or options therefor, to directors,  
officers and employees of the Company pursuant to any stock options,  stock 
purchase, stock ownership or compensation plan approved by the Company's 
Board of Directors, provided that the aggregate number of  shares, and 
options therefor (including options outstanding on the  date of the 
Agreement), so issued to directors, officers and employees  does not exceed 
328,000.



                                   -8-

     6.  NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT.  The Company will not, by  amendment of 
its Certificate of Incorporation or through any  reorganization, transfer 
of assets, consolidation, merger,  dissolution, issue or sale of securities 
or any other voluntary  action, 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 holders of the Warrants against dilution or other  
impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the  Company 
(a) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock  receivable on 
the exercise of the Warrants above the amount payable  therefor on such 
exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be  necessary or appropriate 
in order that the Company may validly and  legally issue fully paid and 
nonassessable shares of stock on the  exercise of all Warrants from time to 
time outstanding, and (c) will  not transfer all or substantially all of 
its properties and assets to  any other person (corporate or otherwise), or 
consolidate with or  merge into any other person or permit any such person 
to consolidate  with or merge into the Company (if the Company is not the 
surviving  person), unless such other person shall expressly assume in 
writing  and will be bound by all the terms of the Warrants.  

     7.  ACCOUNTANTS' CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS.  In each case of  any 
adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other  
Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at  its 
expense will promptly cause independent certified public  accountants of 
recognized standing selected by the Company to compute  such adjustment or 
readjustment in accordance with the terms of the  Warrants and prepare a 
certificate setting forth such adjustment or  readjustment and showing in 
detail the facts upon which such  adjustment or readjustment is based, 
including a statement of (a) the  consideration received or receivable by 
the Company for any additional  shares of Common Stock (or Other 
Securities) issued or sold or deemed  to have been issued or sold, (b) the 
number of shares of Common Stock  (or Other Securities) outstanding or 
deemed to be outstanding, and (c)  the Purchase Price and the number of 
shares of Common Stock to be  received upon exercise of this Warrant, in 
effect immediately prior to  such issue or sale and as adjusted and 
readjusted as provided in this  Warrant.  The Company will forthwith mail a 
copy of each such  certificate to each holder of a Warrant, and will, on 
the written  request at any time of any holder of a Warrant, furnish to 
such holder  a like certificate setting forth the Purchase Price at the 
time in  effect and showing how it was calculated.  

     8.  NOTICES OF RECORD DATE, ETC.  In the event of 

                (a)  any taking by the Company of a record of the  holders
         of any class or securities for the purpose of determining  the
         holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or  other
         distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or 
         otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other
         securities or property, or to receive any other right, or




                                   -9-
 
<PAGE>
                (b)  any capital reorganization of the Company, any
         reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
         Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of
         the Company to or consolidation or merger of the Company with or
         into any other person, or 

                (c)  any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
         or winding-up of the Company, or 

                (d)  any proposed issue or grant by the Company of any
         shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or any
         right or option to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire
         any shares of stock of any class or any other securities (other
         than the issue of Common Stock on the exercise of the Warrants), 

then and in each such event the Company will mail or cause to be  mailed to 
each holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) the date on  which any 
such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,  distribution 
or right, and stating the amount and character of such  dividend, 
distribution or right, (ii) the date on which any such  reorganization, 
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer,  consolidation, merger, 
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to  take place, and the time, if 
any is to be fixed, as of which the  holders of record of Common Stock (or 
Other Securities) shall be  entitled to exchange their shares of Common 
Stock (or Other  Securities) for securities or other property deliverable 
on such  reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer,  
consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and  (iii) 
the amount and character of any stock or other securities, or  rights or 
options with respect thereto, proposed to be issued or granted, the date of 
such proposed issue or grant and the persons or  class of persons to whom 
such proposed issue or grant is to be offered  or made.  Such notice shall 
be mailed at least 20 days prior to the  date specified in such notice on 
which any such action is to be taken. 

     9.  RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC., ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.   
The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for  
issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all shares of  
Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the  
exercise of the Warrants. 

     10.  EXCHANGE OF WARRANTS.  On surrender for exchange of any  Warrant, 
properly endorsed, to the Company, the Company at its expense  will issue 
and deliver to or on the order of the holder thereof a new  Warrant or 
Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such holder or as  such holder (on 
payment by such holder of any applicable transfer  taxes) may direct, 
calling in the aggregate on the face or faces  thereof for the number of 
shares of Common Stock called for on the  face or faces of the Warrant or 
Warrants so surrendered. 

     11.  REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS.  On receipt of evidence reasonably  
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or  mutilation 
of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or  destruction of 
any Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or  security reasonably 
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company

                                   -10-
<PAGE>
 or,  in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of  
such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in  lieu 
thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.  

     12.  WARRANT AGENT.  The Company may, by written notice to each  
holder of a Warrant, appoint an agent having an office in either  Boston, 
Massachusetts or New York, New York for the purpose of issuing  Common 
Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of the Warrants  pursuant to 
section 1, exchanging Warrants pursuant to section 10, and  replacing 
Warrants pursuant to section 11, or any of the foregoing,  and thereafter 
any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case  may be, shall be 
made at such office by such agent.  

     13.  REMEDIES.  The Company stipulates that the remedies at law  of 
the holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or  threatened 
default by the Company in the performance of or compliance  with any of the 
terms of this Warrant are not and will not be  adequate, and that such 
terms may be specifically enforced by a decree  for the specific 
performance of any agreement contained herein or by  an injunction against 
a violation of any of the terms hereof or  otherwise.  

     14.  NEGOTIABILITY, ETC.  This Warrant is issued upon the  following 
terms, to all of which each holder or owner hereof by the  taking hereof 
consents and agrees:  
                
                (a)  title to this Warrant may be transferred by
     endorsement (by the holder hereof executing the form of  assignment at
     the end hereof) and delivery in the same manner as  in the case of a
     negotiable instrument transferable by  endorsement and delivery; 

                (b)  any person in possession of this Warrant properly
     endorsed is authorized to represent himself as absolute owner  hereof
     and is empowered to transfer absolute title hereto by  endorsement and
     delivery hereof to a bona fide purchaser hereof  for value; each prior
     taker or owner waives and renounces all of  his equities or rights in
     this Warrant in favor of each such bona  fide purchaser, and each such

(A) In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as
    the effect would be anti-dilutive.

(B) Dilution from stock options is less than 3%, therefore primary
    earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
    outstanding.

(C) Dilution is less than 3%, therefore the primary basis was used for
    per share calculations.

(D) The effect of the outstanding warrants is excluded since they do not
    meet either test of paragraph 37 of APB Opinion No. 15.
