     Item 15 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding

     right of Pinnacle Acq Corp to elect one or more subsequent Outside

     in accordance with the Merger Agreement.  The previous Outside Termination

     Termination Date as the date elected by Pinnacle Acq Corp during the period

     one or more Outside Termination Dates at any time and from time to time in
     its sole discretion prior to the Closing; provided, however, that Pinnacle
     Acq Corp shall not elect an Outside Termination Date retroactively and that
     any such Outside Termination Date shall not occur prior to the date of any
     previously designated Outside Termination Date.  The foregoing is qualified
     in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and the two amendments
     thereto, copies of which have been filed as Exhibits (d)(1), (d)(4) and
     (d)(5), respectively, hereto and each
