Issuer and each of the Holders or their assignees are parties to a
Purchase Agreement dated November 21, 1995, pursuant to which the Holders have
purchased 1,368,421 shares of common stock, no par value, per share (the

Issuer and JBO are parties to an Investment Banking Agreement, dated
September 7, 1995, pursuant to which JBO has agreed to perform certain
investment banking and consulting services to Issuer;
In order to induce (i) certain of the Holders to enter into the Purchase
Agreement and to purchase the Shares, and (ii) JBO to enter into the Investment
Banking Agreement and perform the investment banking and consulting services
described therein, Issuer executed and delivered that certain Warrant Agreement
dated November 21, 1995 (the "WARRANT AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Issuer
agreed to issue certain Series A Warrants (as described and provided for
therein) (the "WARRANTS") to certain of the Holders, certain Series B Warrants
(as described and provided for therein) to certain of the Holder, and certain
Series C Warrants (as described and provided for therein) to JBO, each Warrant

during which the Holders may exercise the options represented by the Warrants
and each of the parties desire to enter into the Amendment for such purposes.

be a majority of all outstanding warrants thereunder, and JBO and the Holders
represent the owners of all of the outstanding warrants, and do consent by
execution to this Amendment.

good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
