                  shall instruct the Independent Accountants (as hereinafter

                           (h)      All amounts to be delivered to a party
                  pursuant to this Section 1.6 hereof shall be delivered by wire
                  transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with
                  written wire transfer instructions to be provided by the party
                  entitled to such payment.

                           (i)      All fees and expenses of the Independent
                  Accountants incurred in connection with the preparation of the
                  Final Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be paid by the
                  Purchaser.

                           (j)      Seller shall have ten (10) business days
                  from receipt of a Negotiated Revenue Schedule to object to the
                  calculation of the Negotiated Settlement Revenue set forth
                  therein, and if Seller fails to provide Purchaser with written
                  notice of such objection in accordance with Section 9.1 of
                  this Agreement within such ten (10) business day period,
                  Seller will be deemed to have accepted such calculation for
                  all purposes hereof. Any such written notice of objection to
                  the calculation of the Negotiated Settlement Revenue shall
                  state in reasonable detail the basis and grounds for such
                  objection. In the case of an objection, the parties agree to
                  negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed matter for a
                  period of twenty (20) business days from the date of receipt
                  by Purchaser of the notice of objection. If the parties fail
                  to resolve the disputed matter in the 20 business day time
                  period set forth above, the parties agree to mutually
                  designate, within seven (7) days following the end of such
                  time period, a nationally recognized accounting firm, other
                  than PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, to resolve such dispute and
                  such firm shall finally and conclusively resolve such dispute.

         Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the costs and
         expenses of the services of such nationally recognized accounting firm
         shall be paid by the non-prevailing party. The nationally recognized
         accounting firm shall determine whether the Purchaser, on the one hand,
         or the Seller and Shareholder, on the other hand, is the non-prevailing
         party or parties for purposes of paying costs and expenses. Each of the
         parties hereto agrees to execute such documents requested by such
         nationally recognized accounting firm relating to such firm's
         resolution of the dispute.

                  4.       Upon written request of the Seller at any time
         prior to September 30, 2000, the Company and Seller shall immediately
         execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement to National City Bank of
         Kentucky ("Escrow Holder") pursuant to which the Company shall deposit,
         within five (5) business days, Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
         ($750,000.00) into an escrow account (the "Escrow Account") with Escrow
         Holder. Immediately upon the Company or its Stockholders entering into
         an agreement which will result in a Change of Control Event, the
         Company shall give Seller written notice of such event. The Escrow
         Account is to be established for the purpose of satisfying the
         Company's obligations to make Negotiated Settlement Revenue payments to
         Seller, under Section 1.6(g) of the Asset Purchase Agreement as amended
         hereby. The Escrow Agreement shall be in form and substance mutually
         agreed upon by the Company, Seller and Escrow Holder and shall provide,
         among other things, that the Company shall be entitled to all interest
         paid with respect to the Escrow Account, the Company shall pay all fees
         payable to Escrow Holder with respect to the Escrow Account and the
         funds in the Escrow Account shall be released to the Company on January
         15, 2001. The Company and Seller agree to execute the Escrow Agreement
         and attach such form hereto as Exhibit 4 within seven (7) days from the
         date hereof. As an inducement for the Company to agree to establish the
         Escrow Account, Seller agrees that during the term of the Escrow
         Agreement it shall pay to the Company on a quarterly basis, an amount
         equal to the amount, if any by which the average interest rate earned
         on the monies in the Escrow Account during the immediately preceding
         calendar quarter is less than the average interest rate the Company
         pays on the line of credit; applied to the average outstanding balance
         in the Escrow Account for the immediately preceding quarter.

                  5.       Exhibit 1.7 to the Asset Purchase Agreement is
         deleted in its entirety and the Exhibit 1.7 attached hereto shall be
         substituted in lieu thereof.

                  6.       From the date hereof through December 31, 2000,
         Purchaser will provide Shareholder with access to and the right to use
         the reports, software, and computers of Purchaser to the extent
         reasonably necessary and only to enable Shareholder to negotiate


                                       5
<PAGE>   6

         settlements of the claims listed on Exhibit 1.6(g)(viii)(2)
         (collectively, the "Claims") and to collect negotiated settlement
         amounts of the Claims. Purchaser will provide Shareholder with
         documentation authorizing her to negotiate with respect to the Claims
         on behalf of Purchaser, provided, however, in order for the revenues
         from the settlement of a Claim to be included in the calculation of
         Negotiated Settlement Revenue, such settlement of Claim must be
         approved in advance and in writing by a member of the Purchaser
         Management Group listed on Exhibit 6 or by any other person identified
         by Purchaser as having the authority to approve settlements of Claims
         and whose name is provided to Shareholder in accordance with the
         provisions of Section 9.1 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

                  7.       Throughout the period commencing with the date hereof
         and having a duration of one hundred twenty (120) days, Shareholder
         agrees to assist Purchaser with transitioning the Business
         relationships with current Business customers to a person or persons
         designated by Purchaser. Shareholder further agrees: (i) to use her
         reasonable best efforts to maximize Negotiated Settlement Revenue; (ii)
         to honor her representations, undertakings, covenants, and agreements
         under Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 of the Employment
         Agreement, and (iii) not to make a claim after the Final Installment
         Date for any wages, back pay, severance pay, vacation and/or accrued
         sick leave days, incentive or any other benefits, notwithstanding the
         representation contained in Section 3 of the agreement of even date,
         herewith between Shareholder and Purchaser.

                  8.       Except as expressly set forth herein, all of the
         provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force
         and effect.

                  9.       Amendment. The provisions of the First Amendment may
         be waived, altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part,
         only upon the prior written consent of Company, Seller and
         Marcia Deutsch.

                 10.      Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
         construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without
         reference to the choice of law principles thereof.

                 11.      Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed
         in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
         original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
         instrument.
