                       FIRST AMENDMENT TO MERGER AGREEMENT

     This  FIRST  AMENDMENT  TO MERGER  AGREEMENT  (this  "Amendment")  is dated
September 20, 2000 by and among LightPath Technologies, Inc. (the "Parent"), LPI
Two Merger Corporation, (the "Merger Sub"), and Geltech, Inc., (the "Company").

                                    RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, the Parent, the Merger Sub and the Company have previously entered
into that  certain  Merger  Agreement  dated as of  August 9, 2000 (the  "Merger
Agreement"); and

     WHEREAS, the Parent, the Merger Sub and the Company desire to amend certain
provisions of the Merger Agreement as hereinafter set forth;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the covenants  hereinafter set forth,
and for other good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt and  sufficiency of
which is hereby  acknowledged,  the parties to this  Amendment  hereby  agree as
follows:

     1.  DELETION OF SECTION  1.5(E).  The text of Section  1.5(e) of the Merger
Agreement  hereby  deleted  in its  entirety  and,  in  its  place,  the  phrase
"[intentionally omitted]" is hereby inserted.

     2.  ADDITION OF ARTICLE 9. A new  Article,  Article 9, hereby  added to the
Merger Agreement as follows:

                                    ARTICLE 9

                            REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

     9.1 SHELF  REGISTRATION.  Within 30 days following the Effective  Time, the
Parent shall prepare and file under the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities   Act"),  a  "shelf"   registration   statement  (the  "Registration
Statement")  covering  all  the  Share  Consideration  issued  pursuant  to this
Agreement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.
The  Registration  Statement shall be on Form S-3 or if the Parent is ineligible
therefore, Form S-2 or S-1, or any successor form of any such registration form,
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC").  The Parent
shall use its  commercially  reasonable  best  efforts to keep the  Registration
Statement  continuously  effective under the Securities Act until the date which
is two years after the date that such  Registration  Statement has been declared
effective by the SEC or such earlier date when all Share  Consideration  covered
by such  Registration  Statement  has been  sold or may be sold  without  volume
restrictions  pursuant  to Rule 144 as  determined  by the counsel to the Parent
pursuant to a written opinion letter,  addressed to the Parent's  transfer agent
<PAGE>
and  addressed  to the  shareholder  covered by such opinion to such effect (the
"Effectiveness  Period");  provided, that the Parent shall not be deemed to have
used its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement
effective  during the  Effectiveness  Period if it voluntarily  takes any action
that would result in the holders of Share  Consideration  not being able to sell
the Share  Consideration  covered  by such  Registration  Statement  during  the
Effectiveness Period, unless such action is required under applicable law or the
Parent has filed a post-effective  amendment to the  Registration  Statement and
the SEC has not declared it effective.

     9.2 REGISTRATION  PROCEDURES.  In connection with the Parent's registration
obligations hereunder, the Parent shall:

          (a)  Use  its  commercially  reasonable  best  efforts  to  cause  the
Registration  Statement  to become  effective  and remain  effective as provided
herein;  provided,  that not less than five (5) trading days prior to the filing
of the  Registration  Statement or any related  prospectus  or any  amendment or
supplement  thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed
to be  incorporated  therein by  reference),  the Parent  shall,  if  reasonably
practicable (i) furnish or make available to the holders of Share  Consideration
copies of all such documents  proposed to be filed,  which documents (other than
those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to
the review of such  holders of Share  Consideration  (ii) cause its officers and
directors,  counsel and independent  certified public  accountants to respond to
such inquiries as shall be necessary,  in the  reasonable  opinion of holders of
Share Consideration, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of
the Securities Act. If, following  review of the  Registration  Statement or any
amendment  thereto  prior to  filing,  a holder  of  Share  Consideration  shall
determine not to be named in such Registration  Statement or amendment and shall
so notify the Parent  within three (3) trading days from receipt  thereof,  then
the Parent shall delete the name of any such holder therein.

          (b) (i)  Prepare  and file  with the SEC  such  amendments,  including
post-effective  amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to
keep the  Registration  Statement  continuously  effective as to the  applicable
securities for the  Effectiveness  Period and prepare and file with the SEC such
additional  Registration  Statements  in order to register  for resale under the
Securities Act all of the Share Consideration issued pursuant to this Agreement;
(ii) cause the related  prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required
prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to
Rule  424 (or any  similar  provisions  then in  force)  promulgated  under  the
Securities  Act;  (iii)  respond as promptly as  reasonably  practicable  to any
comments received from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement or any
amendment  thereto  and  reasonably   promptly  provide  the  holders  of  Share
Consideration true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC
relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects
with the  provisions of the  Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to
the disposition of all Share Consideration covered by the Registration Statement
during  the  applicable  period  in  accordance  with the  intended  methods  of
disposition  by the  holders  of Share  Consideration  thereof  set forth in the
Registration Statement as so amended or in such prospectus as so supplemented.

                                       2
<PAGE>
          (c)  Notify  the  holders  of Share  Consideration  to be sold (or any
counsel to the  holders of Share  Consideration  as shall have been  provided in
writing to the Parent,  it being  acknowledged  that Gray,  Harris and Robinson,
Professional  Association,  shall  serve  as  counsel  to the  holders  of Share
Consideration until the Parent shall be provided written notice to the contrary)
immediately and (if requested by any such person) confirm such notice in writing
no later than one (1) trading day  following the day (i)(A) when a prospectus or
any  prospectus  supplement  or  post-effective  amendment  to the  Registration
Statement is proposed to be filed;  (B) when the SEC notifies the Parent whether
there will be a "review" of such  Registration  Statement  and  whenever the SEC
comments in writing on such  Registration  Statement and (C) with respect to the
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective;  (ii)  of any  request  by the  SEC or any  other  Federal  or  state
governmental  authority  for  amendments  or  supplements  to  the  Registration
Statement or prospectus or for additional information;  (iii) of the issuance by
the SEC of any stop  order  suspending  the  effectiveness  of the  Registration
Statement  covering any or all of the Share  Consideration  or the initiation of
any proceedings for that purpose; (iv) if at any time any of the representations
and  warranties  of the Parent  contained in any agreement  contemplated  hereby
ceases to be true and correct in all  material  respects;  (v) of the receipt by
the  Parent  of  any  notification   with  respect  to  the  suspension  of  the
qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Share  Consideration
for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such  purpose;  and (vi) of the  occurrence  of any  event  that  makes  any
statement  made in the  Registration  Statement  or  prospectus  or any document
incorporated  or deemed to be  incorporated  therein by reference  untrue in any
material respect or that requires any revisions to the  Registration  Statement,
prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement
or the prospectus,  as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement
of a material  fact or omit to state any  material  fact  required  to be stated
therein  or  necessary  to  make  the  statements   therein,  in  light  of  the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          (d) Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance
of,  or, if  issued,  obtain  the  withdrawal  of (i) any order  suspending  the
effectiveness  of the  Registration  Statement  or (ii)  any  suspension  of the
qualification   (or  exemption   from   qualification)   of  any  of  the  Share
Consideration for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

          (e) Furnish to each holder of Share Consideration,  without charge, at
least one  conformed  copy of each  Registration  Statement  and each  amendment
thereto,   including   financial   statements  and   schedules,   all  documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits
to the extent requested by such person (including those previously  furnished or
incorporated  by  reference)  reasonably  promptly  after  the  filing  of  such
documents with the SEC.

                                       3
<PAGE>
          (f) Promptly  deliver to each holder of Share  Consideration,  without
charge, as many copies of the prospectus or prospectuses (including each form of
prospectus)  and each  amendment  or  supplement  thereto  as such  persons  may
reasonably request; and the Parent hereby consents to the use of such prospectus
and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling holders of Share
Consideration  and any  underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of
the  securities  covered by such  prospectus  and any  amendment  or  supplement
thereto.

          (g)  Prior to any  public  offering  of Share  Consideration,  use its
commercially  reasonable  best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate  with
the selling  holders of such  securities for offer and sale under the securities
or Blue Sky laws of such  jurisdictions  within the United  States as any holder
requests  in  writing,  to keep  each such  registration  or  qualification  (or
exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and
all  other  acts or things  reasonably  necessary  or  advisable  to enable  the
disposition  in such  jurisdictions  of the  Share  Consideration  covered  by a
registration  statement;  provided,  that the Parent  shall not be  required  to
qualify  generally  to do business in any  jurisdiction  where it is not then so
qualified  or to take any  action  that would  subject it to general  service of
process in any such jurisdiction  where it is not then so subject or subject the
Parent  to any  material  tax in any such  jurisdiction  where it is not then so
subject.

          (h)  Upon  the  occurrence  of  any  event   contemplated  by  Section
9.1(c)(vi),  as promptly as  practicable,  prepare a  supplement  or  amendment,
including  a  post-effective  amendment,  to  the  Registration  Statement  or a
supplement to the related  prospectus or any document  incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated  therein by reference,  and file any other required  document so
that,  as  thereafter  delivered,  neither the  Registration  Statement nor such
prospectus will contain an untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to state
a  material  fact  required  to be  stated  therein  or  necessary  to make  the
statements  therein,  in light of the circumstances  under which they were made,
not misleading.

          (i) Use its  commercially  reasonable  best efforts to cause all Share
Consideration covered by such Registration  Statement to be eligible for trading
on The NASDAQ  National Market or any such other exchange or market on which the
Parent Class A Common Stock may be generally listed or traded.

          (j) Comply in all  material  respects  with all  applicable  rules and
regulations  of the SEC and make  generally  available to its  security  holders
earning statements  satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
Act and Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or
90 days after the end of any  12-month  period if such period is a fiscal  year)
commencing on the first day of the first fiscal  quarter of the Parent after the
effective date of the Registration  Statement,  which statement shall cover said
12-month period,  or such shorter periods as is consistent with the requirements
of Rule 158.

                                       4
<PAGE>
          (k) The Parent may require each selling holder of Share  Consideration
to furnish to the Parent such  information  regarding the  distribution  of such
Share  Consideration  as is required by law to be disclosed in the  Registration
Statement and the Parent may exclude from such  registration  the  securities of
any such holder who  unreasonably  fails to furnish  such  information  within a
reasonable time after receiving such request.

          (l) If the  Registration  Statement  refers  to any  holder  of  Share
Consideration  by name or  otherwise  as the  holder  of any  securities  of the
Parent,  then such holder shall have the right to require (if such  reference to
such holder of Share  Consideration  by name or otherwise is not required by the
Securities Act or any similar Federal statute then in force),  by written notice
to the Parent,  the deletion of the reference to such holder in any amendment or
supplement to the  Registration  Statement  filed or prepared  subsequent to the
time that such reference ceases to be required.

          (m) In the event the Registration Statement, as filed with the SEC, is
granted a "no review" and the Registration  Statement is not declared  effective
within 30 days from the Effective Time (the "First-Deadline"),  the Parent shall
pay to the  holders  of Share  Consideration  on a pro rata  basis an  aggregate
amount of $42,307  for each  calendar  week beyond the First  Deadline,  payable
within three  business days of the end of each such week until the  Registration
Statement is declared  effective.  In the event the Registration  Statement,  as
filed with the SEC, is reviewed by the SEC and the Registration Statement is not
declared  effective  within  90  days  from  the  Effective  Time  (the  "Second
Deadline"),  the Parent shall pay to the holders of Share Consideration on a pro
rata basis an  aggregate  amount of $42,307  for each  calendar  week beyond the
Second Deadline, payable within three business days of the end of each such week
until the Registration Statement is declared effective. Any such amounts will be
remitted by the Company to counsel for the holders of Share Consideration, which
counsel  shall act as  disbursing  agent  and shall  disburse  such  amounts  in
accordance with the instructions of such holders.

     9.3 INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Parent will indemnify and hold
harmless  each  holder  of Share  Consideration  and each  person,  if any,  who
controls  such  holder  of Share  Consideration,  against  any  losses,  claims,
damages,  or  liabilities  (joint or several)  to which they may become  subject
under the Act,  the 1934 Act or other  federal  or state  law,  insofar  as such
losses,  claims,  damages,  or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out  of or  are  based  upon  any  of the  following  statements,  omissions  or
violations  (collectively  a "Violation"):  (i) any untrue  statement or alleged
untrue  statement of a material fact contained in such  registration  statement,
including any preliminary  prospectus or final prospectus  contained  therein or
any amendments or supplements thereto,  (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state  therein a material fact  required to be stated  therein,  or necessary to
make the statements  therein not  misleading,  or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Parent of the Act, the 1934 Act,  any state  securities  law or

                                       5
<PAGE>
any rule or  regulation  promulgated  under  the Act,  the 1934 Act or any state
securities law to the extent such violation or alleged violation involves action
or  inaction  required  of the  Company  in  connection  with any the  Company's
registration  of  securities as  contemplated  by this Article 9; and the Parent
will pay to each such holder of Share Consideration,  underwriter or controlling
person, as incurred,  any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection  with  investigating  or  defending  any such  loss,  claim,  damage,
liability, or action; provided,  however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this subsection  9.3(a) shall not apply to: (x) amounts paid in settlement of
any such  loss,  claim,  damage,  liability,  or  action if such  settlement  is
effected  without  the  consent  of  the  Parent  (which  consent  shall  not be
unreasonably  withheld);  and (y) any such loss, claim,  damage,  liability,  or
action to the extent  that it arises out of or is based upon a  Violation  which
occurs in reliance upon and in  conformity  with written  information  furnished
expressly for use in  connection  with such  registration  by any such holder of
Share Consideration, underwriter or controlling person.

          (b) To the  extent  permitted  by law,  each  selling  holder of Share
Consideration  will  indemnify  and  hold  harmless  the  Parent,  each  of  its
directors,  each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, each
person,  if any,  who  controls  the Parent  within the meaning of the Act,  any
underwriter,  any other holder of Share Consideration selling securities in such
Registration  Statement and any  controlling  person of any such  underwriter or
other holder of Share  Consideration,  against any losses,  claims,  damages, or
liabilities  (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become
subject,  under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law,  insofar as
such losses,  claims,  damages,  or liabilities (or actions in respect  thereto)
arise out of or are based upon any  Violation,  in each case to the extent  (and
only  to the  extent)  that  such  Violation  occurs  in  reliance  upon  and in
conformity  with  written   information   furnished  by  such  holder  of  Share
Consideration  expressly for use in connection with such registration;  and each
such holder of Share  Consideration  will pay, as  incurred,  any legal or other
expenses reasonably  incurred by any person entitled to be indemnified  pursuant
to this subsection  9.3(b),  in connection with  investigating  or defending any
such loss, claim, damage,  liability,  or action;  provided,  however,  that the
indemnity  agreement  contained  in this  subsection  1.9(b)  shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,  liability or action
if such  settlement  is  effected  without  the  consent  of the holder of Share
Consideration, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that,
in no event shall any  indemnity  under this  subsection  1.9(b)  exceed the net
proceeds from the offering received by such holder of Share  Consideration  less
the amount of damages that such holder of Share Consideration has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such Violation.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified  party under this Section
9.3 of notice of the  commencement  of any action  (including  any  governmental
action),  such  indemnified  party will, if a claim in respect  thereof is to be
made  against any  indemnifying  party under this  Section  9.3,  deliver to the
indemnifying  party  a  written  notice  of the  commencement  thereof  and  the
indemnifying  party shall have the right to  participate  in, and, to the extent

                                       6
<PAGE>
the indemnifying  party so desires,  jointly with any other  indemnifying  party
similarly  noticed,   to  assume  the  defense  thereof  with  counsel  mutually
satisfactory  to the  parties;  provided,  however,  that an  indemnified  party
(together with all other  indemnified  parties which may be represented  without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate  counsel in
addition to local counsel,  with the reasonable  fees and expenses to be paid by
the  indemnifying  party, if  representation  of such  indemnified  party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying  party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential  differing  interests  between such indemnified party and any other
party  represented  by such counsel in such  proceeding.  The failure to deliver
written  notice  to the  indemnifying  party  within  a  reasonable  time of the
commencement  of any such action,  if materially  prejudicial  to its ability to
defend such action,  shall relieve such  indemnifying  party of any liability to
the  indemnified  party under this  Section  9.3, but the omission so to deliver
written  notice to the  indemnifying  party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9.3.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.3 is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with
respect to any loss,  liability,  claim, damage, or expense referred to therein,
then the  indemnifying  party, in lieu of indemnifying  such  indemnified  party
hereunder,  shall  contribute to the amount paid or payable by such  indemnified
party as a result of such loss,  liability,  claim,  damage,  or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate  to reflect the relative fault of the  indemnifying
party on the one hand and of the  indemnified  party on the other in  connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,  liability,  claim,
damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable  considerations.  The
relative fault of the indemnifying  party and of the indemnified  party shall be
determined by reference  to, among other  things,  whether the untrue or alleged
untrue  statement of a material  fact or the  omission to state a material  fact
relates to information  supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties' relative intent,  knowledge,  access to information,  and
opportunity  to correct or prevent such  statement or omission.  Notwithstanding
the  foregoing,  no holder of Share  Consideration  shall be  obligated  to make
contributions  hereunder  other than with respect to  Violations  for which such
holder of Share  Consideration  would have been  required  to provide  indemnity
pursuant to Section 9.3(b) had indemnification been available thereunder or that
in the aggregate exceeds the amount for which such holder of Share Consideration
would have been  liable  pursuant  to Section  9.3(b) had  indemnification  been
available thereunder.  In no event shall a person or entity guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation  (within the meaning of Section  11(f) of the Act) be entitled
to  contribution  from any  person or entity  who was not  guilty of  fraudulent
misrepresentation.

          (e) The  obligations of the Parent and holders of Share  Consideration
under this  Section 9.3 shall  survive the  completion  of any offering of Share
Consideration  issued  pursuant to this  Agreement in a  Registration  Statement
under Section 9.1 and otherwise.

                                       7
<PAGE>
     9.4  REGISTRATION   EXPENSES.   All  fees  and  expenses  incident  to  the
performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Parent shall be borne by
the  Parent  whether  or not the  Registration  Statement  is filed  or  becomes
effective  and whether or not any Share  Consideration  is sold  pursuant to the
Registration  Statement.  The fees and  expenses  referred  to in the  foregoing
sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees
(including,  without  limitation,  fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings
required to be made with the Nasdaq  National  Market and each other  securities
exchange or market on which Share  Consideration  is  required  hereunder  to be
listed and (B) in  compliance  with  state  securities  or Blue Sky laws),  (ii)
printing expenses  (including,  without  limitation,  expenses of printing stock
certificates  and  prospectuses),   (iii)  messenger,   telephone  and  delivery
expenses,  (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Parent, (v) Securities
Act liability insurance, if the Parent so desires such insurance,  and (vi) fees
and expenses of all other Persons  retained by the Parent in connection with the
consummation of the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement.  In addition,
the Parent shall be  responsible  for all of its internal  expenses  incurred in
connection  with  the  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated  by this
Agreement  (including,  without  limitation,  all  salaries  and expenses of its
officers and employees  performing legal or accounting  duties),  the expense of
any annual  audit,  and the fees and expenses  incurred in  connection  with the
listing  of the Share  Consideration  on any  securities  exchange  as  required
hereunder.

     9.5 PIGGYBACK  REGISTRATIONS.  If at any time the Parent shall determine to
prepare and file with the SEC a registration  statement  relating to an offering
for its own account or the account of others under the  Securities Act of any of
its equity  securities,  other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated
under  the  Securities  Act)  or  their  then  equivalents  relating  to  equity
securities to be issued solely in connection  with any acquisition of any entity
or business or equity  securities  issuable in  connection  with stock option or
other employee benefit plans, then the Parent shall send to each holder of Share
Consideration   issued  pursuant  to  this  Agreement  written  notice  of  such
determination and, if within ten (10) trading days after receipt of such notice,
any such holder shall so request in writing,  the Parent  shall  (subject to the
provisions  of Section 9.7) include in such  registration  statement  all or any
part of the Share Consideration such holder requests to be registered.

     9.6 REPORTS UNDER  SECURITIES  EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934.  With a view to making
available  to the  holders  of  Share  Consideration  the  benefits  of Rule 144
promulgated  under the Act and any other rule or  regulation of the SEC that may
at any time permit a holder of Share  Consideration  to sell  securities  of the
Parent to the public without  registration or pursuant to a registration on Form
S-3, the Parent agrees to:

          (a) make and keep current public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times;

          (b) take such action,  including  the  voluntary  registration  of its
Common  Stock under  Section 12 of the 1934 Act, as is  necessary  to enable the
holders  of  Share  Consideration  to  utilize  Form  S-3 for the  sale of their
securities,  such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the

                                       8
<PAGE>
fiscal year in which the first  registration  statement  filed by the Parent for
the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

          (c)  file  with the SEC in a  timely  manner  all  reports  and  other
documents required of the Parent under the Act and the 1934 Act; and

          (d)  furnish  to any  holder  of Share  Consideration,  so long as the
holder owns not less than 500 shares of Parent Class A Common Stock constituting
Share  Consideration  issued Pursuant to this Agreement,  forthwith upon request
(i) a written  statement  by the Parent  that it has  complied  with the current
information  requirements of SEC Rule 144, and the reporting  requirements under
the 1934 Act, or that it  qualifies  as a  registrant  whose  securities  may be
resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies),  (ii) a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly  report of the Parent filed with the SEC and
such other  reports and  documents so filed by the Parent,  and (iii) such other
information  as may be  reasonably  requested  in  availing  any holder of Share
Consideration  of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of
any such securities.

     9.7 UNDERWRITING REQUIREMENTS. In connection with any offering involving an
underwriting  of shares of the Parent's  capital stock,  the Parent shall not be
required to include any of the Share  Consideration in such underwriting  unless
the holders of Share Consideration requesting inclusion therein accept the terms
of  the  underwriting  agreement,   and  then  only  in  such  quantity  as  the
underwriters  determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success
of the  offering.  If  the  total  amount  of  securities  requested  by  Parent
shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities to
be sold other than by the Parent that the  underwriters  determine in their sole
discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Parent shall
be required  to include in the  offering  only that  number of such  securities,
which the  underwriters  determine in their sole  discretion will not jeopardize
the success of the offering. The securities so included shall be apportioned (a)
first, to the holders of piggyback registration rights (including the holders of
Share  Consideration  requesting  inclusion  therein  pursuant to rights granted
hereunder)  selling  securities  pro rata  according  to the total  amount their
securities  requested  to be  included  therein  and (b)  second,  to the extent
determined  by the  underwriters  to be compatible  with the offering,  to other
shareholders.

     9.8 ASSIGNABILITY.  In the event a holder of Share Consideration assigns at
least 50% of the Share  Consideration  obtained by such holder  pursuant to this
Agreement to a third person other than pursuant to a  registration  statement or
Rule 144, the rights set forth in this Article 9 shall be assigned to such third
person. In the event the holder of Share  Consideration  obtained by such holder
pursuant to this Agreement assigns less than 50% of the Share Consideration to a
third person no rights set forth in this Article 9 shall be  assignable  to such
third person.

     3. ADDITION OF SECTION 6.3(D)(XI). A new Section 6.3(d)(xi) is hereby added
to the Merger Agreement as follows:

          (xi) The  issuance  of Parent  Class A Common  Stock to the holders of
     Company Common Stock, as  contemplated by this Agreement,  is a transaction
     exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
     amended,  (the "1933 Act") pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated
     thereunder or Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act.

     4.  MISCELLANEOUS.  This Amendment  (together with all other  documents and
instruments  referred to herein):  (a)  constitutes  the entire  agreement,  and
supersedes all other prior agreements and  undertakings,  both written and oral,
among the parties,  with respect to the subject matter hereof;  (b) shall not be
assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that the Parent and the Merger
Sub may assign all or any portion of their  rights  under this  Amendment to any
wholly owned subsidiary, but no such assignment shall relieve the Parent and the
Merger Sub of their obligations hereunder, and except that this Amendment may be
assigned by  operation of law to any  corporation  with or into which the Parent
may be merged;  and (c) shall be governed in all respects,  including  validity,
interpretation  and  effect,  by the  internal  laws of the  State of  Delaware,
without  giving  effect to any  principles of conflict of laws or choice of law;
provided,  however,  that the Merger  Agreement  shall  remain in full force and
effect (as amended  hereby) and the Letter of Intent (as such term is defined in
the Merger Agreement) shall remain in full force and effect  notwithstanding the
execution  and delivery of this  Amendment and nothing in this  Amendment  shall
supersede  any of the  provisions  of the Letter of Intent.  The parties  hereby
acknowledge and confirm that the Merger Agreement is in full force and effect in
accordance  with its terms,  except  (and  solely)  to the  extent  specifically
amended  by  this  Amendment.  This  Amendment  may be  executed  in two or more
counterparts which together shall constitute a single agreement.
