     WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Reorganization Agreement in order

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.  The Reorganization Agreement is hereby amended, effective as of January
31, 1996, so that Article II, Section 7, of Annex B of the Reorganization
Agreement shall read in its entirety as follows:

          SECTION 7.  Voting.  A nominee for election as a director of this
     Corporation at a meeting of stockholders shall be elected if the holders of
     a plurality of the capital stock having voting power present in person or
     represented by proxy at such meeting shall vote in favor of the election of
     such nominee.  In all other matters, the vote of the holders of a majority
     of the capital stock having voting power present in person or represented
     by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the
     question is one upon which, by express provision of applicable law or of
     the Certificate of Incorporation, a different vote is required in which
     case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such
     question.

     2.   As amended pursuant to paragraph 1 above, the Reorganization Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

     3.   The provisions of Article 6 of the Reorganization Agreement are hereby
