Default (as defined below), the Shareholders will not, alone or in concert
with others, directly or indirectly: (i) by purchase or otherwise,
acquire, or agree to acquire, ownership (including, but not limited to,

business combination involving the Buyer or any of its affiliates, whether
or not any parties other than the Shareholders and affiliates and
associates are involved and whether or not such proposal might require the
making of a public announcement; (iii) make, or in any way participate in,
any "solicitation" or "proxies" (as such terms are defined or used in

or initiated by any Shareholder or any affiliates or associates or by any
person acting in concert with or at the direction of any Shareholder or

initiate or propose any shareholder proposals for submission to a vote of
shareholders with respect to the Buyer or any of its affiliates or propose

policies of the Buyer or any of its affiliates, including, without
limitation, taking any action to seek to obtain representation on the
Board of Directors of the Buyer or any of its affiliates. Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary, nothing in this agreement shall prevent the

any shares of

pursuant to Section 2.04(a) of the Agreement, as amended."
(e) If and only if all of the payments set forth in Section
2.02(a)(iii)(A), (B) and (C) of the Agreement, as amended, are paid in
cash to Shareholders in an amount not less than $3,387,526 prior to
December 10, 2000, then for so long as Buyer Common Stock is held in the
Escrow Account and Buyer is not in default on any payment due under the
Agreement, as amended, the Shareholders will vote the Escrow Shares in
support of the election of the nominees to the Buyer's Board of Directors
proposed by either the current Buyer Board of Directors or the members of
the Board of Directors who have been nominated to the Board by the current
Board of Directors (or such of their successors who have been nominated by
the Board members so nominated). Upon execution of this Amendment, the
Shareholders shall execute the Proxy attached hereto as Exhibit B. The
executed proxies shall be held by the Escrow Holder until December 10,
2000. If Buyer shall have paid a sum not less than $3,387,526 to
Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(iii) of the Agreement by that
date, then the proxies shall be delivered to Buyer. If said sums have not
been paid to Shareholders by that date, the proxies shall be returned to
Shareholders."
(f) In the event that Buyer makes the cash payments due under
Section 2.02(a)(iii)(A) and (B) of the Agreement, as amended, in the total
amount of $2,387,526 on the dates and in the amount set forth therein,
Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall withdraw his name from contention as a member of the
Board of Directors of Buyer at its next annual Shareholder's meeting.
(g) Section 2.02(b) shall be deleted in its entirety.
(h) The following paragraph is added to the Agreement as 2.02(f):
"(f) In the event that Buyer fails to pay the amounts due pursuant to
Section 2.02(a) (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) within fifteen (15) Business Days
of the dates such cash payments are due, Buyer shall:
"(i) deliver to Shareholders a Buyer's Promissory Note, in
substantially the form as attached hereto as Exhibit A, and in the full
amount of the payment due, bearing interest of eight percent per annum
from the payment date as set forth in Section 2.02(a)(iv), (v), (vi) or
(vii), as applicable, and payable in full within one year; and
"(ii) deliver into the Escrow Account Buyer's Common Stock the fair
market value of which is equal to the shortfall, if any, between the Fair
Market Value of all
-4-
Buyer's Common Stock held in the Escrow Account pursuant to Section
2.02(b) and the combined total of (1) the amount of any cash payments then
due to Shareholders, (2) the principal amount of the outstanding Buyer
Promissory Notes issued to Shareholders by Buyer pursuant to this Section
2.02(f)(i), plus interest due thereon, less payments previously made on
said Notes, and (3) the principal amount of the outstanding Buyer
Promissory Notes issued to Shareholders by Buyer pursuant to Section
2.04(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), plus interest due thereon, less payments
previously made on said notes. Fair Market Value of the Buyer Common Stock
shall be computed using the daily average closing bid price per share of
Buyer Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the
date the applicable cash payment was to be paid pursuant to Section
2.02(a)(iv), (v), (vi) or (vii), as applicable. If Buyer Common Stock is
no longer traded on the NASDAQ or on the Over the Counter Market on a
regular basis, Fair Market Value shall be computed by using the daily
average closing bid price per share of Buyer Common Stock for the ten (10)
trading days immediately preceding the date on which Buyer Common Stock
ceased trading on the NASDAQ and/or Over the Counter Market. Shares placed
in the Escrow Account pursuant to this section shall remain in the Escrow
Account until the earlier of (i) the date on which Buyer pays the
Shareholders the amount of all cash payments then due pursuant to Sections
2.02(a)(iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii); (ii) the exercise by Shareholders
of their option to receive Buyer Common Stock if Buyer's Promissory Notes
are not paid when due; or (iii) March 10, 2005. In the event that Buyer
has not paid any Buyer Promissory Note within 30 days of its original due
date, then Shareholders shall have the option to receive Buyer Common
Stock out of the Escrow Account in an amount equivalent to the amount then
due under the defaulted Buyer Promissory Note, including interest thereon.
The Fair Market Value of the Buyer Common Stock shall be computed using
the daily average closing bid price per share of Buyer Common Stock for
the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date on which the
Shareholders exercise their option to take delivery of Buyer Common Stock
in payment of the Buyer Promissory Note. If Buyer Common Stock is no
longer traded on the NASDAQ or on the Over the Counter Market on a regular
basis, Fair Market Value shall be computed by using the daily average
closing bid price per share of Buyer Common Stock for the ten (10) trading
days immediately preceding the date on which Buyer Common Stock ceased
trading on the NASDAQ and/or Over the Counter Market. Any securities,
non-cash dividends or other property distributable in respect of the
Escrow Shares shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent, who shall hold such
securities, non-cash dividends or other property in the Escrow Account.
The fees of the Escrow Agent shall be borne by Buyer.
"Payments due under any Buyer Promissory Note(s) issued pursuant to
Section 2.02(f)(i) of the Agreement, as amended, shall be payable directly
from Buyer or from the available cash in Concepts 4, Inc. Payments towards
any buyer Promissory Note may be made from Concepts 4, Inc. in the
discretion of a representative of the Shareholders, but, only if, in the
good faith business judgment of said representative of the Shareholders,
after making any such payment, Concepts 4, Inc. will retain sufficient
cash to meet its cash flow requirements for the following three (3) month
period, based upon a review of the cash position and anticipated cash
needs of Concepts 4, Inc. In the event that payments due under a Buyer
Promissory Note are made from the available cash of Concepts 4, Inc., an
amount equal to ten percent of any such payment shall be paid by Concepts
4, Inc. to
-5-
Buyer."
(i) The following paragraph is added to the Agreement as 2.02(g):
"(g) In the event that the Fair Market Value of the Buyer Common Stock
held in the Escrow Account pursuant to Sections 2.02(c), 2.02(f) or
2.04(b) falls below the combined total of (i) the amount of any cash
payment then due to Shareholders, (ii) the principal amount of the
outstanding Buyer Promissory Notes issued to Shareholders by Buyer
pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(i), plus interest due thereon, less payments
previously made on said notes and (iii) the principal amount of the
outstanding Buyer Promissory Notes issued to Homada LLC by Buyer pursuant
to Section 2.04(b), plus interest due thereon, less payments previously
made on said notes, then the Shareholders shall deliver a notice to Buyer
of such shortfall and Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent additional
shares of Buyer Common Stock within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
Shareholders' notice so that the Fair Market Value of the Escrow Shares
equals the Fair Market Value of the combined totals set forth in
subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section. The Fair Market Value
of the Buyer Common Stock in the Escrow shall be computed using the daily
average closing bid price per share of Buyer Common Stock for the ten (10)
trading days immediately preceding the date of review. If Buyer Common
Stock is no longer traded on the NASDAQ or on the Over the Counter Market
on a regular basis, Fair Market Value shall be computed by using the daily
average closing bid price per share of Buyer Common Stock for the ten (10)
trading days immediately preceding the date on which Buyer Common Stock
ceased trading on the NASDAQ and/or Over the Counter Market."
(j) Section 2.04 of the Agreement shall be amended in its entirety

cause Concepts 4, Inc. to make any payment to Buyer or to any other party
or to incur any further obligation on behalf of Buyer or any other party
of any dividends, of any loans or in connection with any loans or any

upon any successor in interest of Buyer as a shareholder of Concepts 4,
Inc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholders shall use their best
efforts to arrange for a five year term loan for Concepts 4, Inc. in the
amount of $300,000 from Foothill Capital Corporation or any other
responsible lender, to be funded prior to December 10, 2000; all funds
