Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1,
2000 (the "Agreement"), by and between Chronimed Inc., a Minnesota corporation
("Parent"), MEDgenesis Inc., a Minnesota corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent ("Seller"), Medisys plc, a corporation organized under the
laws of Scotland ("Buyer") and Hypoguard America Limited, a private limited
company organized under the laws of England and Wales and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Buyer ("Newco"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary including,

Newco and its accountants shall have the right during the sixty (60)
days following the receipt by Buyer of the Preliminary Closing Date Balance
Sheet to examine the Preliminary Closing Date Balance Sheet and all records used
