Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On   September  9,  1996,  Shoney's,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  acquired
substantially  all  of  the assets of TPI Enterprises, Inc. ("Enterprises")
pursuant to that certain  Plan  of  Tax-Free  Reorganization  Under Section
368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and Agreement, dated  as of March
15,  1996,  as  amended  by  Amendments  No.  1,  No.  2  and  No.  3  (the
"Reorganization  Agreement"),  by  and  among  the Company, TPI Restaurants
Acquisition  Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary  of  the  Company,  and
Enterprises.

     The assets acquired pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement consisted
of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of TPI Restaurants, Inc. ("TPIR"),
TPI Insurance,  Inc.  ("TPII")  and TPI Entertainment, Inc. ("TPIE") (TPIR,
TPII, TPIE and the subsidiaries of TPIR are collectively referred to as the
"Acquired  Subsidiaries"), intercompany  accounts  payable  and  receivable
among  Enterprises   and   its   retained  subsidiaries  and  the  Acquired
Subsidiaries, and, except as described  below,  all  of  the  cash and cash
equivalents   of   Enterprises   and  each  of  Enterprises'  subsidiaries.
Enterprises retained in the transaction  approximately  $7,670,000 in cash.
									  
     The consideration paid by the Company in the transaction  consisted of
the  issuance  to  Enterprises of 6,785,114 shares of the Company's  common
stock  and  the assumption  by  the  Company  of  certain  liabilities  and
obligations  of  Enterprises.   The  liabilities  assumed  by  the  Company
included the Company's  payment  of  indebtedness  of  Enterprises totaling
approximately $42,870,000, the Company's assumption, by Supplemental
Indenture, of 8.25% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2002 in the
aggregate principal amount of $51,563,000, and the Company's issuance of
options to purchase approximately 620,000 shares of the Company's common
stock in exchange for options outstanding under Enterprises' stock option
plans.

     Under the Reorganization  Agreement,  the  number  of  shares  of  the
Company's  common  stock  issuable  to  Enterprises  in the transaction was
6,612,031, which represented the sum of 5,577,102 (the  fixed  shares) plus
$10,000,000  divided  by the average closing price of the Company's  common
stock for the 10 trading  day  period  ending  August  16,  1996 ($9.6625),
before certain adjustments.  The number of shares was increased  by  55,209
shares  as  a result of the issuance by Enterprises of shares under certain
stock compensation  plans  since  November  7,  1995,  and by an additional
117,874  shares  as  a  result  of  a  $1,138,956 reduction in  the  up  to
$7,500,000  of  cash that Enterprises was  entitled  to  retain  under  the
Reorganization Agreement  (the  "Retained Cash").  Under the Reorganization
Agreement, the amount of Retained  Cash  was limited to 10% of the value of
the shares issued to Enterprises in the transaction,  based  on the closing
price of the Company's common stock as of the last trading day  before  the
closing ($9.3750).

<PAGE>

     The  source  of  funds  for  the  Company's retirement of Enterprises'
indebtedness was the senior secured bridge  loan  that the Company obtained
from Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC") on May 3, 1996.  Concurrently
with  the  closing,  the  Company  borrowed $80,000,000 under that loan.  In
addition, the Company obtained letters of credit totaling $10,584,006 under the 
Company's Reducing Revolving Credit Agreement with CIBC, as agent, principally
for purposes of  replacing  Enterprises' letters  of  credit  supporting its
insurance  activities, which were acquired by the Company in the transaction.

     Prior to the transaction, TPIR was the Company's  largest  franchisee.
By virtue of the transaction, the Company acquired a total of 176  Shoney's
restaurants  and  67  Captain  D's  restaurants,  increasing  the number of
Company-owned restaurants in each of those concepts to over 63%.

     The  transaction  was  approved  by shareholders of the Company  at  a
Special  Meeting  of  Shareholders held August  21,  1996.   Information
concerning the material  relationships  between   Enterprises  and  the
Company,  its  directors,  officers  and  their  respective associates, was
contained in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus,  dated  July  22,  1996,
that  was  distributed  to  shareholders  in  connection  with that special
meeting,  which  Joint  Proxy  Statement/Prospectus  formed a part  of  the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with  the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  ("Commission")  on May 21, 1996, as amended  by  Pre-
effective  Amendments  No.  1  and  No. 2 (Registration  No.  333-4201)(the
"Registration Statement").

		     Conversion of Securities

SECTION 1301.  CONVERSION PRIVILEGES.

	  Subject  to  and  upon  compliance  with  the  provisions of this
Article, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security  or  any portion
of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple  of
$1,000 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion
thereof,  into  Liquidation  Units  (as  hereinafter defined) at a price of
$6.50 per Liquidation Unit (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest
1/100th of a Liquidation Unit).  Such conversion  right shall expire at the
close of business on July 1, 2002.  In case a Security  or  portion thereof
is  called for redemption at the election of the Company or is  subject  to
repurchase  by  the  Company  pursuant  to  Article  Fifteen  hereof,  such
conversion right in respect of the Security or portion so called or subject
to  repurchase  shall expire at the close of business on the fifth Business
Day preceding the  Redemption  Date or Repurchase Date, as the case may be,
unless the Company defaults in making  the  payment  due upon redemption or
repurchase.

     Each Liquidation Unit (a "Liquidation Unit") shall consist of the same
liquidation  proceeds  received with respect to each outstanding  share  of
Enterprises common stock  pursuant  to  the Plan of Complete Liquidation of
TPI  Enterprises,  Inc. dated March 15, 1996,  as  amended  (the  "Plan  of
Complete Liquidation")  consisting  of  (i)  shares  of Common Stock of the
Company, the number of which shares may be adjusted in certain instances as
set forth in this Article Thirteen, and (ii) cash and any other liquidation
proceeds ("Cash Liquidation Proceeds" and, together with  the  Common Stock
of  the  Company, "Liquidation Proceeds").  Upon conversion, the converting
Holder shall  receive  from the Company an equivalent amount of Liquidation
Proceeds as have been received  from  Enterprises by holders of Enterprises
common  stock  as  of such time, and shall  receive  from  the  Company  an
equivalent amount of  any  further Liquidation Proceeds in such amounts and
at  such  time  as  holders  of Enterprises  common  stock  do.   Prior  to
conversion of the Securities pursuant  to  this Article Thirteen, the right
to receive Liquidation Proceeds upon conversion  shall not be transferrable
by  the  converting  Holder,  except  in  connection with  a  corresponding
transfer of the Security.  After conversion  pursuant  to Article Thirteen,
the  right  to  receive Liquidation Proceeds shall be non-transferable  and
shall not be assignable (in whole or in part), except by operation of law.

SECTION 1302.  EXERCISE OF CONVERSION PRIVILEGE.

	  In order  to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of any
Security to be converted  shall  surrender  such Security, duly endorsed or
assigned to the Company or in blank, at any office or agency of the Company
maintained  for  that  purpose  pursuant to Section  1102,  accompanied  by
written notice to the Company (in  form  and  substance satisfactory to the
Company) at such office or agency that the Holder  elects  to  convert such
Security  or,  if  less than the entire principal amount thereof is  to  be
converted, the portion thereof to be converted.  Securities surrendered for
conversion during the  period  from  the  close  of business on any Regular
Record  Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date  to  the  opening  of
business  on  such  Interest  Payment  Date  shall  (except  in the case of
Securities or portions thereof which have been called for redemption  on  a
Redemption  Date  within  such  period or on such Interest Payment Date) be
accompanied by payment in New York  Clearing  House  funds  or  other funds
acceptable  to  the  Company of an amount equal to the interest payable  on
such Interest Payment  Date  on  the  principal  amount of Securities being
surrendered  for  conversion.   Subject to the provisions  of  Section  307
relating to the payment of Defaulted  Interest by the Company, the interest
payment with respect to a Security called  for  redemption  on a Redemption
Date  during  the  period from the close of business on any Regular  Record
Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on
such Interest Payment  Date  shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date
to the Holder of such Security  at  the  close  of business on such Regular
Record  Date  notwithstanding the conversion of such  Security  after  such
Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, and the Holder
converting such  Security  need  not  include  a  payment  of such interest
payment amount upon surrender of such Security for conversion.   Except  as
provided  in  the  preceding sentence and subject to the final paragraph of
Section 307, no payment  or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on
account  of  any  interest  accrued   on  the  Securities  surrendered  for
conversion or on account of any dividends  on  the Common Stock issued upon
conversion.

     Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to
the  close  of  business  on the day of surrender of  such  Securities  for
conversion in accordance with  the  foregoing  provisions, and at such time
the rights of the Holders of such Securities as  Holders  shall  cease, and
the  Person  or  Persons entitled to receive the Liquidation Proceeds  upon
conversion and thereafter  shall  be treated for all purposes thereafter as
the person to whom any Liquidation  Proceeds  are  payable,  including,  as
shares  of Common Stock of the Company are issued to holders of Enterprises
common stock  pursuant  to  the Plan of Complete Liquidation, as the record
holder  or  holders  of such Common  Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  and
thereafter.  As promptly  as  practicable  on or after the conversion date,
the  Company  shall issue and shall deliver at  such  office  or  agency  a
certificate or

<PAGE>

certificates  for the number  of full  shares of  Common Stock  and Cash
Liquidation Proceeds which  have  been distributed as of such time to holders
of Enterprises common stock pursuant  to  the  Plan  of Complete Liquidation,
together  with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share  as provided in
Section 1303,  and  shall thereafter as promptly as practicable deliver to the
converting Holder any such additional shares of Common Stock of the Company
(together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in
Section 1303) and such  additional Cash Liquidation Proceeds as such are
distributed to holders of Enterprises common stock pursuant to the Plan of
Complete Liquidation.

     In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such
conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver  to  the Holder thereof, at the  expense  of  the  Company,  a  new
Security or Securities,  with  a  Guarantee endorsed thereon, of authorized
denominations  in  aggregate principal  amount  equal  to  the  unconverted
portion of the principal amount of such Security.

SECTION 1303.  FRACTIONS OF SHARES.

     No fractional shares  of  Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion
of  Securities.   If  more  than one  Security  shall  be  surrendered  for
conversion at one time by the  same Holder, the number of full shares which
shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of
the aggregate principal amount of  the  Securities  (or  specified portions
thereof) so surrendered.  Instead of any fractional share  of  Common Stock
which  would  otherwise  be  issuable  upon  conversion of any Security  or
Securities (or specified portions thereof), the  Company  shall  pay a cash
adjustment (rounded to the nearest cent) in respect of such fraction  in an
amount  equal to the same fraction of the daily closing price per share  of
Common Stock  (consistent  with  Section 1304(8) below) on the last trading
day prior to the date of conversion.

SECTION 1304. ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER  OF  SHARES  OF  COMMON STOCK OF COMPANY
ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION.

     (1)  In  case  the  Company  shall  pay  or make a dividend  or  other
distribution on any class of capital stock of the  Company in Common Stock,
the  number  of  shares  of  Common Stock of the Company  included  in  the
Liquidation Units which a Holder  of  a  Security  converting following the
record  date  of  such  distribution  receives  from the Company  shall  be
increased by multiplying the number of shares to  be received by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the sum of the number  of  shares of Common
Stock  outstanding  at  the close of business on such record date  and  the
total number of shares constituting  such  dividend  or other distribution,
and of which the denominator shall be such number of shares  outstanding at
the  close  of  business  on  such  record  date,  such  increase to become
effective

<PAGE>

immediately after the opening of business on the  day  following the date
fixed  for such determination.  For the purposes of this paragraph (1), the
number of shares of  Common Stock at  any time outstanding shall not
include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares
issuable in respect  of  scrip  certificates issued in lieu of fractions of
shares of Common Stock.  The Company  will not pay any dividend or make any
distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.


     (2)  In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders
of its Common Stock (not being available  on an equivalent basis to Holders
of  the Securities upon conversion) entitling  them  to  subscribe  for  or
purchase  shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current
market price  per  share  (determined  as provided in paragraph (8) of this
Section) of the Common Stock on the date  fixed  for  the  determination of
stockholders  entitled  to  receive  such  rights  or warrants (other  than
pursuant  to  a  dividend  reinvestment  plan), then, to  the  extent  that
Enterprises' shareholders receive such rights  or  warrants with respect to
the  shares  of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant  to  the  Plan  of
Complete Liquidation  and a Holder converts Securities after the date fixed
for determination of holders  entitled  to  such  rights  or  warrants, the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company included in the Liquidation
Units  which  a  converting  Holder converting following such determination
date receives from the Company shall be increased by multiplying the number
the shares to be received by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock  outstanding  at  the close of business on
the date fixed for such determination plus the number  of  shares of Common
Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator
shall be such number of shares outstanding at the close of business on such
date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number  of shares of
Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such
current  market price, such increase to become effective immediately  after
the opening  of  business  on  the  day  following  the date fixed for such
determination.   For  the  purposes of this paragraph (2),  the  number  of
shares of Common Stock at any  time  outstanding  shall  not include shares
held  in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares  issuable  in
respect  of  scrip  certificates  issued  in lieu of fractions of shares of
Common Stock.  The Company will not issue any rights or warrants in respect
of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

     (3)  In case outstanding shares of Common  Stock  shall  be subdivided
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares which
a   converting   Holder   receives  following  the  effectiveness  of  such
subdivision shall be proportionately  increased,  and,  conversely, in case
outstanding  shares  of  Common Stock shall each be combined  into  smaller
number of shares of Common  Stock,  the number of shares which a converting
Holder

<PAGE>

receives following the effectiveness  of  such  combination shall be
proportionately decreased, such increase or reduction, as  the case may be,
to become effective immediately after the opening of business  on  the  day
following  the  day  upon  which  such  subdivision  or combination becomes
effective.

     (4)  In  case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise,  distribute
to all holders  of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(including securities,  but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in
paragraph (2) of this Section,  any  dividend  or distribution paid in cash
out of the earned surplus of the Company and any  dividend  or distribution
referred  to  in  paragraph  (1) of this Section), any Holder who  converts
after the record date of such  distribution  shall  be  entitled to receive
from the Company as part of the Liquidation Units the same distribution per
share  of  Common  Stock  to  the  extent,  and  at  the  same  time,  that
Enterprises' shareholders receive such distribution with respect  to shares
of  Common  Stock  of the Company received by them pursuant to the Plan  of
Complete Liquidation.    In  any  case  in  which  this  paragraph  (4)  is
applicable, paragraph (2) of this Section shall not be applicable.

     (5)  In  case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time
distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (including any cash that
is distributed  as  part  of a distribution referred to in paragraph (4) of
this Section) in an aggregate  amount that, together with (i) the aggregate
amount of any other distributions  to  all holders of its Common Stock made
in cash within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such
distribution  and  in  respect  of which no  adjustment  pursuant  to  this
paragraph (5) has been made and (ii)  the  aggregate  of  any cash plus the
fair  market  value  (as  determined  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board  Resolution)  of
other  consideration  payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company
or a Subsidiary for all  or  any  portion  of  the  Company's  Common Stock
concluded  within  the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment  of
such distribution and  in  respect  of  which  no  adjustment  pursuant  to
paragraph  (6)  of this Section has been made, exceeds ten percent (10%) of
the product of the  current  market price per share (determined as provided
in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for
stockholders entitled to receive  such  distribution  times  the  number of
shares  of  Common Stock outstanding on such date, the number of shares  of
Common Stock  of  the  Company  included  in  the Liquidation Units which a
Holder converting after the record date of such  distribution receives from
the Company shall be increased by multiplying the  number  of  shares to be
received  by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current  market
price per share  (determined  as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section)
of the Common Stock on the date of the effectiveness of such adjustment and
of which the denominator shall  be  such  current market price per share of
the Common Stock less the amount of cash so  distributed

<PAGE>

applicable to one share of Common Stock, such increase to become effective
immediately  prior to  the  opening of business on the later of (a) the day
following the date fixed for  the  payment  of  such distribution and (b)
the date twenty (20) days after the notice relating  to  such  distribution
is given pursuant to Section 1306.

     (6)  In case a tender offer made by the  Company or any Subsidiary for
all  or any portion of the Company's Common Stock  shall  expire  and  such
tender  offer shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market
value (as  determined  by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall
be conclusive and described  in  a  Board Resolution) on the last time (the
"Expiration Time") tenders may be made pursuant to such tender offer (as it
may be amended) that, together with (i)  the aggregate of the cash plus the
fair  market  value  (as  determined  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  whose
determination shall be conclusive and described  in a Board Resolution), as
of the expiration of such tender offer, of other consideration  payable  in
respect  of  any tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any
portion of the  Company's  Common  Stock  expiring  within  the twelve (12)
months  preceding  the  expiration  of such tender offer and in respect  of
which no adjustment pursuant to this  paragraph  (6) has been made and (ii)
the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders  of  the Company's
Common  Stock  made  in  cash  within the twelve (12) months preceding  the
expiration of such tender offer  and  in  respect  of  which  no adjustment
pursuant  to  paragraph  (5)  of  this  Section has been made, exceeds  ten
percent  (10%)  of  the  product  of the current  market  price  per  share
(determined as provided in paragraph  (8)  of  this  Section) of the Common
Stock  on the Expiration Time times the number of shares  of  Common  Stock
outstanding  (including  any  tendered  shares) on the Expiration Time, the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company included in the Liquidation
Units which a Holder converting after the Expiration Time receives from the
Company  shall be increased by multiplying  the  number  of  shares  to  be
received by  a  fraction of which the numerator shall be the product of (i)
the current market price per share (determined as provided in Paragraph (8)
of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times (ii) such
number of outstanding  shares on the Expiration Time less the number of all
shares validly tendered  and  not  withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the
shares deemed so tendered, up to the  maximum specified in the terms of the
tender offer, being referred to as the  "Purchased  Shares"),  and of which
the denominator shall be (i) the product of such current market  price  per
share  on  the  Expiration  Time times the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (including any tendered  shares)  on  the Expiration Time minus
(ii)  the  fair  market value (determined as aforesaid)  of  the  aggregate
consideration payable  to  stockholders  based on the acceptance (up to any
specified  maximum)  of  the  Purchased Shares,  such  increase  to  become
effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following
the Expiration Time.  No such adjustment  shall be made in the event of any
purchase pursuant to Rule 1Ob-18 under the Exchange Act.

<PAGE>

     (7)  The reclassification of Common Stock  into  securities  including
securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification  upon a
consolidation  or merger in which Section 1311 applies) shall be deemed  to
involve (a) a distribution  of  such  securities other than Common Stock to
all   holders   of   Common  Stock  (and  the  effective   date   of   such
reclassification  shall   be   deemed   to  be  "the  date  fixed  for  the
determination of stockholders entitled to  receive  such  distribution" and
"the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (4)
of this Section), and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be,
of  the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately  prior  to
such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately  thereafter  (and  the  effective date of such reclassification
shall  be  deemed  to  be  "the  day upon which  such  subdivision  becomes
effective" or "the day upon which  such  combination becomes effective," as
the case may be, and "the day upon which such  subdivision  or  combination
becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section) and
the  number  of  shares  of Common Stock included in the Liquidation  Units
receivable from the Company upon conversion shall be adjusted in accordance
with paragraphs (3) and (4) of this Section.

     (8)  For the purpose  of  any  computation  under  this  paragraph and
paragraphs (2), (4) and (5) of this Section, the current market  price  per
share  of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
Closing  Prices  for  the  five  consecutive  Trading  Days selected by the
Company commencing not more than twenty-five (25) Trading  Days before, and
ending not later than, the date in question; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) if
the  "ex"  date  for  any  event  (other  than the issuance or distribution
requiring such computation) that requires an  adjustment  to  the number of
shares occurs on or after the twenty-fifth (25th) Trading Day prior  to the
day in question and prior to the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution
requiring such computation, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to
the  "ex"  date  for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such
Closing Price by the reciprocal of the same fraction by which the number of
shares is so required  to be adjusted as a result of such other event, (ii)
if the "ex" date for any  event  (other  than  the issuance or distribution
requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment  to  the  number of
shares  occurs  on  or after the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution
requiring such computation  and  on  or  prior  to the day in question, the
Closing  Price for each Trading Day on and after the  "ex"  date  for  such
other event  shall  be  adjusted  by  multiplying such Closing Price by the
fraction by which the number of shares  is  so required to be adjusted as a
result of such other event, and (iii) if the  "ex" date for the issuance or
distribution  requiring  such computation is on or  prior  to  the  day  in
question, after taking into  account  any  adjustment  required pursuant to
clause (ii) of this proviso, the Closing Price for each  Trading  Day on or
after such "ex" date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount  of any
cash and the fair market value on the day in question (as

<PAGE>

determined by the Board  of  Directors  in a manner consistent with any
determination of such value  for  purposes  of paragraph  (4)  or  (5)  of
this  Section,  whose determination shall be  conclusive  and described in
a Board Resolution) of the evidences of indebtedness, shares  of  capital
stock  or  assets being distributed  applicable  to  one  share of Common
Stock as of the close  of business  on  the  day before such "ex"  date.
For  the  purpose  of  any computation under paragraph  (6)  of this Section,
the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date  shall be
deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices for the five consecutive
Trading Days selected by the Company commencing on or after the latest
(the "Commencement  Date") of (i)  the  date  twenty-five  (25) Trading Days
before the date in question, (ii)  the  date  of commencement of the tender
offer requiring such computation and (iii) the date of the last amendment, if
any,  of  such tender  offer  involving a change in the maximum number of
shares for which tenders are sought or a change in the consideration offered,
and ending not later than the Expiration  Time  of  such  tender offer;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that  if  the "ex" date for any such event (other  than
the  tender  offer requiring such  computation)  that  requires an adjustment
to the number of shares occurs on or after the Commencement Date and prior to
the Expiration Time for the tender offer requiring such computation, the
Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the "ex" date  for  such  other
event  shall  be adjusted  by  multiplying  such  Closing  Price  by  the
reciprocal of the fraction by which the number of shares is so required to be
adjusted  as a result  of  such other event.  For purposes of this paragraph
the term "ex" date, (i) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution,
means the first date on  which  the  Common  Stock trades regular way on the
relevant exchange  or  in  the relevant market from  which  the  Closing  Price
was obtained without the  right  to receive such issuance or distribution, (ii)
when used with respect to any  subdivision  or  combination  of  shares  of
Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular
way  on  such  exchange  or  in  such  market  after the time at which such
subdivision  or combination becomes effective, and  (iii)  when  used  with
respect to any  tender offer means the first date on which the Common Stock
trades regular way  on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration
Time of such tender offer.

     (9)  No adjustment  in  the  number of shares shall be required unless
such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this
paragraph  (9)) would require an increase  or  decrease  of  at  least  one
percent (1%)  in such number; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any adjustments which
by reason of this  paragraph  (9)  are  not  required  to  be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

     (10) The Company may make such increases in the number  of  shares  of
Common  Stock  receivable upon conversion, in addition to those required by
paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of this Section, as it considers
to be advisable in order to avoid or

<PAGE>

diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common  Stock  resulting
from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants
to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income
tax purposes or for any other reasons.   The  Company shall have the power to
resolve  any  ambiguity  or correct any error  in this paragraph (10) and its
actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.

     (11) Notwithstanding  the  other  provisions  of  this Article XIII, a
converting Holder shall only be entitled to receive such  additional shares
to the extent holders of Enterprises common stock receive additional shares
of  Common  Stock  of the Company as a result of such corporate  action  or
event, which additional shares shall be received by converting Holders upon
the later of conversion and the time Enterprises' shareholders receive such
distribution.  In addition,  the  Company  may make such adjustments in the
number  of  shares to be received upon conversion,  in  addition  to  those
required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), and (6) of this Section, to
the extent that,  because the corporate action or other event necessitating
such adjustment occurs  or  otherwise  requires  a  calculation as of after
September 9, 1996, but prior to the final distribution  of shares of Common
Stock of the Company deliverable to holders of Enterprises  common stock in
connection  with  the  liquidation of Enterprises, the application  of  the
adjustment(s) required by  paragraph(s) (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), and/or (6)
would cause a converting Holder  of  a  Security  to  receive  less or more
shares of Common Stock of the Company than would have been received by such
Holder had the Holder converted the Security (or such portion thereof  then
to  be  converted)  immediately  prior  to  September 9, 1996.  The Company
shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity  or correct any error in this
paragraph (11) and its actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.

SECTION 1305.  NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS OF NUMBER OF SHARES.

     Whenever  the  number  of  shares of Common Stock  or  other  proceeds
receivable upon conversion is adjusted as herein provided:

     (a)  the Company shall compute  the  adjustments  in  accordance  with
Section  1304  and shall prepare an Officer's Certificate (the Treasurer of
the Company being  one  of  the  signatories  thereto)  setting  forth  the
adjustments  and  showing  in  reasonable  detail the facts upon which such
adjustment is based, and such certificate shall  forthwith be filed at each
office  or  agency maintained for the purpose of conversion  of  Securities
pursuant to Section 1102; and

     (b)  a notice  stating  that  the Liquidation Proceeds receivable upon
conversion have been adjusted and setting  forth  the  adjusted Liquidation

is  required,  such notice shall be mailed by

<PAGE>

the Company to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the
Security Register.

SECTION 1306.  NOTICE OF CERTAIN CORPORATE ACTION.

     In case:

     (a)  the Company  shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution)
on its Common Stock payable  otherwise  than  in  cash  out  of  its earned
surplus  which  would  not trigger an adjustment under Sections 1304(4)  or
1304(5); or

     (b)  the Company shall  authorize  the  granting to the holders of its
Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe  for or purchase any shares
of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

     (c)  of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other
than  a  subdivision  or combination of its outstanding  shares  of  Common
Stock), or of any consolidation,  merger  or  share  exchange  to which the
Company  is  a  party  and  for  which approval of any stockholders of  the
Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company; or

     (d)  of  the  voluntary  or involuntary  dissolution,  liquidation  or
winding-up of the Company; or

     (e)  the Company or any Subsidiary  shall  commence a tender offer for
all or a portion of the Company's outstanding shares  of  Common  Stock (or
shall amend any such tender offer);

then  the  Company  shall  cause  to  be  filed  at  each  office or agency
maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant  to Section
1102,  and  shall cause to be mailed to all Holders at their last addresses
as they shall  appear  in  the Security Register, at least twenty (20) days
(or ten (10) days in any case  specified  in clause (a) or (b) above) prior

stating (x) the date on which a record is to  be  taken  for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or, if a  record is not to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of  record to be
entitled  to  such  dividend,  distribution, rights or warrants are  to  be
determined, or (y) the date on which  such reclassification, consolidation,

property deliverable  upon  such  reclassification,  consolidation, merger,
share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation  or  winding-up or
(z) the date on which such tender offer commenced,

<PAGE>

the date on  which  such tender  offer  is  scheduled  to  expire unless
extended, the consideration offered and the other material terms  thereof (or
the material terms of any amendment thereto).  Neither the failure to give such
notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity  of the
proceedings described in  clauses  (a) through (e) of this Section 1306. If at
the  time  the Trustee shall not be the conversion agent, a copy of such notice
shall also forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee.

SECTION 1307.  COMPANY TO RESERVE COMMON STOCK.

     The Company  shall  at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued Common  Stock,  for  the  purpose  of effecting the
conversion  of Securities, the full number of shares of Common  Stock  then
issuable upon the conversion of all Outstanding Securities.

SECTION 1308.  TAXES ON CONVERSIONS.

     The Company  will  pay  any  and all transfer, stamp and other similar
taxes that may be payable in respect  of the issue or delivery of shares of
Common Stock and other Liquidation Proceeds  on  conversion  of  Securities
pursuant  hereto.   The Company shall not, however, be required to pay  any
tax which may be payable  in  respect of any transfer involved in the issue
and delivery of shares of Common  Stock and other Liquidation Proceeds in a
name other than that of the Holder  of  the  Security  or  Securities to be
converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the
Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such
tax,  or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that  such  tax
has been paid.

SECTION 1309.  COVENANT AS TO COMMON STOCK.

     The  Company  covenants  that  all shares of Common Stock which may be
issued upon conversion of Securities  will upon issue (a) be fully paid and
nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 1308, the Company will pay
all taxes, liens and charges with respect  to the issue thereof, and (b) be
listed or admitted to trading on any national  securities  exchange, quoted
on the NASDAQ National Market System or listed in any list of bid and asked
prices  in  the  over-the-counter  market to the same extent as  any  other
shares of Common Stock may be so listed or admitted to trading.

SECTION 1310.  CANCELLATION OF CONVERTED SECURITIES.

     All Securities delivered for conversion  shall  be  delivered  to  the
Security  Registrar  to be cancelled by or at the direction of the Security
Registrar, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 309.

SECTION 1311.  PROVISIONS  IN  CASE  OF  CONSOLIDATION,  MERGER  OR SALE OF
ASSETS.

     In  case  of  any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of  the
Company into, any other  Person,  any  merger  of  another  Person into the
Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification,
conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of  Common Stock
of the Company) or any sale or transfer of all or substantially  all of the
assets of the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting
from  such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be,  shall
execute  and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that
the  Holder  of  each  Security  then  outstanding  shall  have  the  right
thereafter,  during  the  period  such  Security  shall  be  convertible as
specified in Section 1301, to convert such Security only into  the kind and
amount   of  securities,  cash  or  other  property  receivable  upon  such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares
of Common  Stock  of  the  Company into which such Security might have been
converted  immediately  prior   to  such  consolidation,  merger,  sale  or
transfer, assuming such holder of  Common  Stock  of  the  Company is not a
Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged
or  which  merged  into  the Company or to which such sale or transfer  was
made, as the case may be ("constituent  Person"),  or  an  Affiliate  of  a
constituent  Person, and failed to exercise his rights of election, if any,
as to the kind  or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable
upon such consolidation,  merger,  sale  or  transfer (provided that if the
kind or amount of securities, cash and other property  receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is not the same  for  each share of
Common  Stock  of the Company held immediately prior to such consolidation,
merger, sale or transfer by other than a constituent Person or an Affiliate
thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been
exercised ("non-electing  share"), then for the purpose of this Section the
kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each non-electing share shall be
deemed to be the kind and amount  so receivable per share by a plurality of
the non-electing shares).  Such supplemental  indenture  shall  provide for
adjustments  which,  for  events  subsequent to the effective date of  such
supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the adjustments provided for in  this  Article.  The above provisions of
this Section shall similarly apply to successive  consolidations,  mergers,
sales or transfers.

SECTION 1312.  TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.

     The  Trustee  has  no  duty to determine when an adjustment under this
Article should be made, how it  should  be  made or what it should be.  The
Trustee  makes  no  representation  as  to the validity  or  value  of  any
securities or assets issued upon conversion  of

Securities.   The  Trustee shall  not  be  responsible  for  the Company's
failure to comply with this Article.
