     In addition, the Company granted to Mr. Jesse options to purchase an
aggregate of 75,000 shares of Common Stock.  Options to purchase 25,000 shares
of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $.25 per share are currently
exercisable.  The remaining 50,000 options, which have been granted pursuant to
the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan and which have an exercise price per share
equal to the initial public offering price, shall be exercisable as to one-
fourth of the shares covered thereby on each of the first four (4) anniversaries
of the date May 15, 1996, provided that Mr. Jesse is employed by the Company on
such dates.  Commencing two (2) years after May 15, 1996, the Company has agreed
to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities
Act to register the shares of Common Stock issuable to Mr. Jesse pursuant to the
exercise of such options.  No options have been exercised as of July 31, 1996.


Stock Option Plan.

     In February 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted, and
National (the Company's sole stockholder at that time) approved, the Company's
1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") pursuant to which 200,000 shares of
Common Stock currently are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options
designated as either (i) options intended to constitute incentive stock options
("ISOs") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or
(ii) nonqualified options.  ISOs may be granted under the Option Plan to
employees and officers of the Company.  Non-qualified options may be granted to
consultants, directors (whether or not they are employees), employees or
officers of the Company.

     The Option Plan is intended to qualify under Rule 16b-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and is
administered by a committee of the Board of Directors, provided that the full
Board of Directors currently is administering the Option Plan.  The Board of
Directors or the committee, as the case may be, within the limitations of the
Option Plan, determines the persons to whom options will be granted, the number
of shares to be covered by each option, whether the options granted are intended
to be ISOs, the duration and rate of exercise of each option, the exercise price
per share and the manner of exercise and the time, manner and form of payment
upon exercise of an option.  Unless sooner terminated, the Option Plan will
expire on February 13, 2006.

     ISOs granted under the Option Plan may not be granted at a price less than
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (or 110% of fair
market value in the case of persons holding 10% or more of the voting stock of
the Company).  The aggregate fair market value of shares for which ISOs granted
to any employee are exercisable for the first time by such employee during any
calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Company) may not 

                                       6

exceed $100,000 and options to purchase no more than 50,000 shares may be
granted under the Option Plan to any single optionee in any calendar year. Non-
qualified options granted under the Option Plan may not be granted at a price
less than 90% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
Options granted under the Option Plan will expire not more than ten (10) years
from the date of grant (five [5] years in the case of ISOs granted to persons
holding 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company). All options granted
under the Option Plan are not transferable during an optionee's lifetime but are
transferable at death by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In
general, upon termination of employment of an optionee, all options granted to
such person which are not exercisable on the date of such termination
immediately terminate, and any options that are exercisable terminate ninety
(90) days following termination of employment.

     The Option Plan contains anti-dilution provisions authorizing appropriate
adjustments in certain circumstances.  Shares of Common Stock subject to options
which expire without being  exercised or which are canceled as a result of
cessation of employment are available for further grants.  No shares of Common
Stock may be issued to any optionee until the full exercise price has been paid.
The Board of Directors or the committee, as the case may be, may grant
individual options under the Option Plan with more stringent provisions than
those specified in the Option Plan.

     The Option Plan provides that each non-employee director automatically
receives, upon first becoming a non-employee director, a grant of an option to
purchase 7,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of the Common Stock.  Each non-employee director option expires
five (5) years from the date of grant.

     The Company has granted options to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares
under the Option Plan, exclusive of non-employee director options to purchase an
additional 37,500 shares granted as of May 15, 1996, none of which options has
been exercised.
