     NOW,  THEREFORE,  for good and  valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and

          "The term of this  Agreement  shall be extended for an  additional  18
month period if at any time during the term of this Agreement the Company
reports net revenues of $45 million or more in any fiscal year, and shall be
extended for another 18 month period if at any time during the term of this
Agreement the Company reports net revenues of $65 million or more in any fiscal

     3.  WARRANTS.  All  warrants to purchase  Common  Stock  currently  held by

be amended to reduce the exercise price thereof to $.2188 per share from and
after the date hereof. The Company shall issue replacement warrants to the
holders thereof within 20 days after the date such warrantholders submit their
original warrants to the Company for substitution.

     4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Target hereby represents and warrants to
the Company that is an accredited investor as such term is defined under
Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Target is acquiring the Shares for its own account, for investment, and not with
a view to the resale or distribution thereof. Target acknowledges that the
Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, may not be resold or
otherwise transferred or disposed of without such registration or an appropriate
exemption therefrom and from state blue sky laws, and that the certificates
evidencing the Shares will bear a legend to such effect. Target has evaluated
the merits and risks of acquiring the Shares and has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of such acquisition, is aware of and has considered the
financial risks and financial hazards of acquiring such Shares, and is able to
bear the economic risk of acquiring such Shares. Target has had access to such
information regarding the business and finances of the Company, and has been
provided the opportunity to discuss with the Company's management the business,
affairs and financial condition of the Company and such other matters with
respect to the Company as would concern a reasonable person considering the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or concerned with the operation
of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to a meeting and/or
discussions with management of the Company.

      5. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) This Amendment shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law
principles.

     (b) This Amendment  shall be binding and effective upon the Company and its
successors  and  permitted assigns, and upon Target and YG, their  successors,
heirs, representatives and assigns, as the case may be.

     (c) This  Amendment  may be signed in any number of  counterparts,  each of
which  shall be  deemed an  original.  This Amendment and any counterpart  so
executed shall be deemed one and the same instrument.

     (d) Except as  specifically  modified  herein,  the Company,  Target and YG
agree that all other terms and conditions of the Agreement  shall remain in full
force and effect.
