            WHEREAS, the  parties  hereto desire to  amend certain provisions of
the Agreement and to add additional provisions thereto;

            WHEREAS, Section 8.2 of the Agreement provides in relevant part that

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereby agree as follows:

      1. Unless the context otherwise  requires,  references in the Agreement to

      however,  that in the event that the  Effective  Time does not occur on or
      prior to July 1,  1999,  such  amount may be  increased  in respect of the
      dividend for the Company's  second fiscal  quarter and any fiscal  quarter
      thereafter  through the  termination of the Agreement to $.4026 per share,
      and dividends  paid to the Company by its wholly owned  subsidiaries);  or

<PAGE>





            (e) In the event this  Agreement  is  terminated  by mutual  consent
      pursuant to Section 7.1(a),  by the Company  pursuant to Sections  7.1(b),
      7.1(c), 7.1(f), 7.1(g) or 7.1(i) or by Parent pursuant to Sections 7.1(b),
      7.1(c) (unless the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1(a), 6.2(a), 6.2(b)
      or 6.2(c) shall not be satisfied  as of the time of such  termination)  or
      7.1(i) (unless the Company shall have breached a representation,  warranty
      or covenant  which breach (or the substance  thereof)  shall be a cause of
      the  termination  under  Section  7.1(i)) and the Company has  declared an
      increase  in respect of its  quarterly  cash  dividend  for the  Company's
      second fiscal  quarter or any quarter  thereafter  in accordance  with the
      terms of Section  5.1(a),  the  Company  shall  deliver to Parent  written
      notice of the Dividend  Increase (as hereinafter  defined),  together with
      reasonable  supporting  documentation,  and  on  the  third  business  day
      following notice of the Dividend  Increase Parent shall pay to the Company
      by wire transfer, to an account designated by the Company, an amount equal
      to the Dividend Increase.

            For purposes of this Section 7.3(e), "Dividend Increase" means:

            if the Company has declared a quarterly cash dividend upon shares of
            Company  Common Stock for the second  fiscal  quarter of 1999 or any
            subsequent   fiscal  quarter  through  the  Termination   Date,  the
            aggregate sum of the Excess  Dividend (as  hereinafter  defined) for
            each such fiscal quarter.

            For purposes of this Section  7.3(e),  the "Excess  Dividend"  for a
            fiscal quarter means:

            the  product  of (i) the  amount  per  share of the  quarterly  cash
            dividend upon shares of Company Common Stock for such fiscal quarter
            minus  $0.09 and (ii) the number of shares of Company  Common  Stock
            issued and  outstanding  as of the close of  business  on the record
            date for determining stockholders entitled to receive such quarterly
            cash dividend.

      4. Remainder of Agreement Unaffected.  Except as specifically set forth in
this Amendment No. 1, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and no
other provision thereof shall be deemed modified by this Amendment No. 1.

      5.  Governing Law.  This Amendment No. 1 shall be  governed and  construed
in accordance with the laws of the  State of Delaware  without  giving effect to
the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

      6.  Counterparts.  This  Amendment  No. 1 may be  executed  in two or more
counterparts,  all of which shall be considered  one and the same  agreement and
shall become effective when two or more counterparts have been signed by each of
the parties and delivered to the other  parties,  it being  understood  that all
parties need not sign the same counterpart.
