follows:
1.1 DOCUMENT MODIFICATION.
The Purchase Agreement (as was previously modified by the Amendment) shall
be amended and modified hereby to reflect the following:
(A) Paragraph 1.1(a)(i) shall be amended and modified such that the term
"Second Tranche" shall be deemed to mean $500,000 of New Debentures to
be purchased on the date hereof notwithstanding the fact that the
Effective Date shall not have occurred.
(B) Paragraph 2.1(q) shall be deemed to be deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following "(q) SENIORITY. No indebtedness of the
Company is senior to the Debentures in right of payment, whether with
respect to interest or upon liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise,
except for transactions in an aggregate amount of up to $1,000,000
entered into pursuant to the form of Operating Agreement attached
hereto as EXHIBIT A and made a part hereof (the "Operating
Agreement").
The Outstanding Debentures shall be amended and modified hereby to reflect
the following:

amount permitted for a default by the Company (solely with regard to
obligations other than the Debentures) giving rise to an Event of
Default under the Debentures shall be increased from twenty-five
thousand dollars ($25,000) to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand ($250,000)
Dollars; and

smaller number of shares" is hereby deemed to be deleted and of no

the SBA Loan and to provide the Company the right to subordinate the
Debentures to the transactions pursuant to the Operating Agreement in
an amount of up to $1,000,000. The Security Agreement entered into
between Purchasers and the Company shall be governed by this amended
provision to the Debenture.
The Outstanding Warrants shall be amended and modified hereby to reflect
the following:
(A) Section 8(a)(iii) the text of which reads "combine outstanding shares
of Common Stock into smaller number of shares" is hereby deemed to be
deleted and of no further force or effect.
