3. Section 4.6 is amended to read as follows:
4.6 Absence of Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6
hereto, Seller has not executed any agreement creating any obligation for
the Company (other than those obligations addressed in Section 7.9 or
Section 3.6).
4. The first sentence of Section 7.7 is amended to read as follows:
In the event that Buyer shall fail to close the purchase of the
Company for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement by Seller or
the fact that a condition to Buyer's obligations to close set forth in

entitled to keep the $400,000 xxxxxxx money and Buyer shall promptly pay
Seller the additional amount of $600,000.
5. A new Section 7.9 is added to read as follows:

------------------------------
obligations of the Company to the Jenkens & Xxxxxxxxx and Oppenheimer,

the Company has not paid such amounts to Jenkens & Xxxxxxxxx and
Oppenheimer, Wolff, Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx, Buyer shall pay such amounts at or
prior to Closing on behalf of the Company. Buyer acknowledges that the
Company shall have the obligation to pay amounts owing to the United States
offices of Ernst & Young. At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall pay
$10,000 for legal fees and expenses of O'Melveny & Xxxxx LLP incurred in
connection with the Closing of this Agreement. In the event that the

Trustee, Buyer shall pay such amounts at or prior to Closing on behalf of
the Company. Notwithstanding the prior two sentences, Seller shall have no
obligation to extend this Agreement past the date April 28, 2000. In the
event the Company does not or cannot pay the obligations specified to be
paid by the Company in this Section 7.9, such failure of payment shall not
constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise limit Buyer's obligation
under this Agreement and the Buyer shall pay such amounts as specified
above.
6. The first sentence of Section 8.2(f) is deleted so that Section 8.2(f)
reads in its entirety as follows:
(f) Certain Obligations. The Company shall have been released from
-------------------
any obligations to Seller (including any amounts owing as intercompany
loans or capital investment) and to Seller's debenture holders, such
release is to be effective upon the debenture holders' receipt of
