SUMMARY

General. The Stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Company
have approved the Charter Amendment to facilitate the consummation of two
proposed transactions and to provide for additional authorized but unissued
capital stock to be available to the Company for the purpose of raising
capital, issuances in connection with acquisition transactions, employee
compensation plans and other corporate purposes.

The proposed transactions (collectively, the "Proposed Transactions")
provide for (i) the issuance to Joint Energy Development Investments Limited
Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("JEDI") and an affiliate of Enron
Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation ("EFC"), of 9,600,000 shares of Series A
Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
"Series A Preferred Stock"), of the Company pursuant to a Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated March 27, 1997, between the Company and JEDI (the "JEDI
Purchase Agreement") and (ii) the repurchase by the Company of 9,600,000 shares
of Common Stock from Forseti pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated March 27, 1997, between the Company and Forseti (the "Forseti Purchase
Agreement"). The Forseti Purchase Agreement will be closed immediately after
closing of the JEDI Purchase Agreement.

Background. Forseti is the record and beneficial owner of 9,600,000
shares of Common Stock (approximately 32% of the Company's current issued and
outstanding Common Stock). In 1996, Forseti approached the venture capital
firm that arranged Forseti's investment in the Company about selling Forseti's
entire interest in the Company due to tax planning and investment
considerations of Forseti's indirect sole stockholder, a German investor. As
fiduciaries of the Company, the Company's management was desirous of
accomplishing Forseti's intent to divest its entire equity interest in the
Company in an orderly fashion with a dual goal of achieving Forseti's
intentions, but in a manner that would benefit the Company.

Commencing in the summer of 1996, a number of possible buyers for
Forseti's Common Stock were approached. Ultimately discussions focused on EFC,
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Enron Corp. EFC provides, among other
services, financing in the energy industry. Since December 1996 extensive
negotiations have taken place concerning the pricing and a transaction
structure. Prior to completion of the negotiations, it was determined the
investment would be made by JEDI, a limited partnership between the California
Public Employees' Retirement System and an affiliate of EFC. The purpose of
JEDI is to invest in a diversified portfolio of energy related assets.

Company management believes that having JEDI as a major stockholder in
the Company would provide significant benefits to the Company. Among the
significant benefits is management's belief that the Company's credibility and
standing in the oil and gas industry will be enhanced by JEDI's investment in
the Company. Further, the Company believes the relationship will provide the
Company's other stockholders with the opportunity to benefit from EFC's
experience, expertise, financial resources and innovative thinking as a
sophisticated provider of financing in the energy industry. Most importantly,
the Company's management believes that JEDI's interest will be closely aligned
with the interests of the Company's other stockholders.

The final transaction structure provides the desired liquidity for
Forseti for all of its shares of Common Stock with an opportunity to be paid
additional consideration in the future if the Company achieves certain
negotiated financial benchmarks. At the same time JEDI can achieve a
significant equity investment in the Company. The Company will facilitate the
transaction by itself acquiring Forseti's Common Stock with funds invested in
the Company by JEDI in exchange for the issuance of the Company's Series A
Preferred Stock to JEDI.

JEDI Transaction. JEDI has determined to make a substantial
investment in the Company, on the terms described herein, to provide the
Company with the capital to repurchase the Forseti Stock.

The Company and JEDI have entered into the JEDI Purchase Agreement,
pursuant to which JEDI has agreed to acquire at the closing under the JEDI
Purchase Agreement 9,600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and certain
warrants to purchase Common Stock (the "JEDI Warrants"). The Company will also
issue to JEDI warrants to purchase 409,839 shares of Common Stock (the
"Robertson Warrants"). The Robertson Warrants are being granted to JEDI as a
form of maintenance right on the part of JEDI to acquire Common Stock in the
future and maintain JEDI's proportionate ownership in the Company in relation
to shares of Common Stock issued in late February 1997 to fund the Robertson
acquisition. See "RECENT DEVELOPMENT." The aggregate consideration (excluding
the exercise price in respect of the JEDI Warrants and the Robertson Warrants)
cannot exceed $14,400,000 and consists of (i) $5,000,000 ($0.521 per share)
cash at closing of the JEDI Purchase Agreement plus (ii) contingent cash
payment obligations (up to an aggregate of $9,400,000). All of such funds
would be used by the Company to fund the Forseti transaction agreements. See
"FORSETI TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS."

Pursuant to the JEDI Purchase Agreement, the Company and JEDI will
execute and deliver certain other agreements, including an Earn Up Agreement, a
Registration Rights Agreement, a Stockholders Agreement and a Letter Agreement
(each as defined and described below), and certain members of the Company's
management will enter into employment agreements with the Company. See "JEDI
TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS."

Forseti Transaction. The Company and Forseti have entered into the
Forseti Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to
repurchase at the closing under the Forseti Purchase Agreement, 9,600,000
shares of Common Stock owned by Forseti in exchange for (i) $5,000,000 ($0.521
per share) cash, (ii) the issuance by the Company of Class A Common Stock
Purchase Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial
exercise price of $2.50 per share (the "Class A Warrants") and Class B Common
Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an
initial exercise price of $2.50 per share (the "Class B Warrants," and together
with the Class A Warrants, the "Forseti Warrants"), and (iii) contingent
obligations (up to an aggregate of $9,400,000) to Forseti under the Forseti
Earn Up Agreement, as described below. The aggregate consideration paid by the
Company to Forseti in respect of the repurchase of the Forseti Stock cannot
exceed $14,400,000. This consideration will be funded only through the JEDI
Purchase Agreement and the JEDI Earn Up Agreement. See "FORSETI TRANSACTION
AGREEMENTS."

The Company anticipates that the closings under the JEDI Purchase
Agreement and the Forseti Purchase Agreement will occur contemporaneously, with
the JEDI transaction closing first. Each agreement is dependent on
consummation of the other.

The Charter Amendment. The Certificate of Incorporation does not
currently authorize the issuance of preferred stock. To consummate the
Proposed Transactions, the Company must amend the Certificate of Incorporation
to authorize a class of preferred stock. The Company has also determined to
authorize additional shares of Common Stock.

The Charter Amendment will (i) create a new class of preferred stock
and authorize the issuance of an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, of which, following the closing of the JEDI Purchase Agreement,
9,600,000 shares will be issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, 9,600,000 shares will be authorized but unissued shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), and
30,800,000 shares will be available for issuance by the Company in the future
(the "Undesignated Preferred Stock") and (ii) authorize an additional
60,000,000 shares of Common Stock (in addition to the 40,000,000 shares
currently authorized under the Certificate of Incorporation).

RECENT DEVELOPMENT

Acquisition of the Robertson Properties. During the months of February
and March, 1997 the Company acquired productive wells and developmental
properties located in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas (collectively, the
"Acquired Properties").

On February 5, 1997 the Company, through Corrida Resources, Inc., a
Nevada corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
acquired 60 gross productive wells (48.4 net productive wells) and two
developmental properties from a group of associated companies and family
members related to Mr. David Robertson of Tickfaw, Louisiana and Mr. Keith
Robertson of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Acquired Properties consisted of
6,569 gross acres (5,779 acres net).

The purchase price consisted of $1,900,000 cash, four promissory notes
with an aggregate principal amount of $2,400,000 and secured by a lien on the
Acquired Properties, and 659,000 shares of restricted Common Stock. Two of the
promissory notes bear no interest and are due not earlier than June 5, 1997 and
not later than August 4, 1997. The remaining two promissory notes have a
maturity date of February 4, 2000 and bear no interest for the first two years
and bear interest at 9% per annum for the final year, payable in Common Stock
of the Company, the value of which shall be calculated according to a specified
formula set forth in the promissory notes. These two notes are repayable by
the Company commencing on the first anniversary of the date of the promissory
notes and semi-annually thereafter, at the option of the holder. Under certain
conditions, the holder of such notes may defer payments of principal on the
promissory notes. Under certain conditions, at the option of the holder, two
of the promissory notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock of the
Company, with the number of shares of Common Stock to be determined pursuant to
a specified formula set forth in the promissory notes. See the Company's
Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 20, 1997 for a more complete
description of the acquisition.

On March 13, 1997 the Company acquired from D&R Petroleum, Inc. and
from Mr. James P. Robertson and Frances L. Robertson of Zachary, Louisiana, one
(1) gross productive well (0.3375 net productive wells) located in Louisiana.
The acquisition comprises 278 gross acres (94 net acres). The purchase price
consisted of cash paid at closing of $562,500 and 578,500 shares of restricted
Common Stock of the Company. See the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K
dated March 26, 1997 for a more complete description of the acquisition.

AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

The Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes the issuance of
up to 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In order to consummate the Proposed
Transactions and to have a sufficient number of shares of capital stock
available for future issuance for other corporate purposes, the Company's Board
of Directors and the Stockholders have unanimously approved an amendment to
Article Fifth of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation:

(1) To increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock
from 40,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares; and

(2) To create a class of Preferred Stock and to authorize the
issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, which
shares of Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series
at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

The Charter Amendment will become effective upon (i) effectiveness of
the written consents of the Stockholders and (ii) the filing of the Charter
Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. See the form
of Certificate of Amendment appended hereto as APPENDIX "A," "REASONS FOR
CHARTER AMENDMENT; PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS" and "CERTAIN EFFECTS OF THE CHARTER
AMENDMENT AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS."

REASONS FOR CHARTER AMENDMENT; PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

General. The Stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Company
have approved the Charter Amendment to facilitate the consummation of the
Proposed Transactions and to provide for additional authorized but unissued
capital stock to be available to the Company for the purpose of raising
capital, issuances in connection with acquisition transactions, employee
compensation plans and other corporate purposes. The Proposed Transactions
provide for (i) the issuance to JEDI of 9,600,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock of the Company pursuant to the JEDI Purchase Agreement and (ii) the
repurchase by the Company of 9,600,000 shares of Common Stock from Forseti
pursuant to the Forseti Purchase Agreement. The Forseti Purchase Agreement
will be closed immediately after the closing of the JEDI Purchase Agreement.

Background. Forseti is the record and beneficial owner of 9,600,000
shares (the "Forseti Stock") of Common Stock (approximately 33% of the
Company's current issued and outstanding Common Stock). Forseti's assets
include the shares of Common Stock it holds and its 45% stock ownership
interest in Capital House International Ltd., a company organized under the
laws of Barbados ("CHIL").

Forseti's original investment in the Company was arranged by Capital
House A Finance and Investment Corporation, a corporation organized under the
laws of Canada ("CHC") in 1989. CHC is a venture capital firm based in Ottawa,
Ontario, Canada. CHC was founded by Messrs. Edward J. Munden, Ronald I. Benn
and Bruce I. Benn. CHC has been active in arranging debt and equity capital in
the European capital markets for the Company since 1995. Mr. Munden is
Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.
Mr. Ronald Benn is the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and Mr. Bruce
Benn is Executive Vice President and a director of the Company.

In 1996, Forseti approached CHC about selling Forseti's entire
interest in the Company due to tax planning and investment considerations of
Forseti's indirect sole stockholder, a German investor. As fiduciaries of the
Company, Messrs. Munden, and Benn were desirous of accomplishing Forseti's
intent to divest its entire equity interest in the Company in an orderly
fashion with a dual goal of achieving Forseti's intentions, but in a manner
that would benefit the Company. On June 15, 1996, Forseti, Forseti's sole
direct stockholder and CHC entered into an Agency Agreement (the "Agency
Agreement") to facilitate the arrangement of a sale of the Forseti Stock to a
third party. Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, CHC was granted broad powers to
arrange a sale of the Forseti Stock. The Agency Agreement provided for certain
compensation to CHC if such a sale was completed and the repayment of certain
indebtedness owed by CHIL to a bank under a loan arranged by Forseti's sole
stockholder (this loan was repaid in February 1997). Effective March 25, 1997,
the Agency Agreement was terminated without any consideration paid or payable,
directly or indirectly, to CHC or to Messrs. Munden, Benn or Benn, or to any
partnership, corporation or other entity in which any of them has a financial
interest.

Commencing in the summer of 1996, CHC approached a number of possible
buyers for the Forseti Stock. Ultimately discussions focused on EFC. EFC
provides, among other services, financing in the energy industry. JEDI
is a limited partnership between the California Public Employees' Retirement
System and an affiliate of EFC. The purpose of the partnership is to invest
in a diversified portfolio of energy related assets. CHC and Company management
believe that

-8-
<PAGE> 11
PRELIMINARY COPIES
DRAFT APRIL 4, 1997

having JEDI as a major stockholder in the Company would provide significant
benefits to the Company. Among the significant benefits is management's belief
that the Company's credibility and standing in the oil and gas industry will be
enhanced by JEDI's investment in the Company. Further, the Company believes
the relationship will provide the Company's other stockholders with the
opportunity to benefit from EFC's experience, expertise, financial resources
and innovative thinking as a sophisticated provider of financing in the energy
industry. Most importantly, the Company's management believes that JEDI's
interest will be closely aligned with the interests of the Company's other
stockholders.

Since December 1996 extensive negotiations have taken place concerning
the pricing and a transaction structure. Enron Capital & Trade Resources,
Corp., a Delaware corporation and an affiliate of EFC ("ECT") and the Company
entered into a letter of intent dated as of February 4, 1997, setting forth
certain proposed terms of the transaction. The letter of intent was
non-binding, except for a mutually binding confidentiality provision and the
agreement of the Company to reimburse ECT all of its legal fees, professional
fees and other transaction costs incurred in the evaluation and negotiation of
the proposed transaction and related agreements, whether or not the transaction
closed. The letter of intent expired on February 14, 1997, other than as to
the binding terms described in the preceding sentence.

Prior to completion of the negotiations, it was determined the
investment would be made through JEDI. The final transaction structure provides
the desired liquidity for Forseti for all of its shares of Common Stock with an
opportunity to be paid additional consideration in the future if the Company
achieves certain negotiated financial benchmarks. At the same time JEDI can
achieve a significant equity investment in the Company. The Company will
facilitate the transaction by itself acquiring the Forseti Stock with funds
invested in the Company by JEDI in exchange for the issuance of the Company's
Series A Preferred Stock to JEDI.

EIBOC. EIBOC holds of record 6,600,000 shares of Common Stock.
Messrs. Munden, Benn and Benn have the sole beneficial interest in such shares.
EIBOC received its shares of Common Stock from Norden Investments, Ltd.
("Norden") on March 27, 1997. Messrs. Munden, Benn and Benn had a beneficial
interest in such shares when they were held by Norden. Norden retained
3,000,000 shares of Common Stock and a 45% stock ownership interest in CHIL.
Prior to October 1996, the 9,600,000 shares of Common Stock held by Norden and
the 9,600,000 shares of Common Stock owned by Forseti were held of record by
CHIL.

JEDI Transaction. JEDI has determined to make a substantial
investment in the Company, on the terms described herein, to provide the
Company with the capital to repurchase the Forseti Stock.

The Company and JEDI have entered into the JEDI Purchase Agreement,
pursuant to which JEDI has agreed to acquire at the closing under the JEDI
Purchase Agreement 9,600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the JEDI
Warrants and the Robertson Warrants. The Robertson Warrants are being granted
to JEDI as a form of maintenance right on the part of JEDI to acquire Common
Stock in the future and maintain JEDI's proportionate ownership in the Company
in relation to shares of Common Stock issued in late February 1997 to fund the
Robertson acquisition. See "RECENT DEVELOPMENT." The aggregate consideration
(excluding the exercise price in respect of the JEDI Warrants and the Robertson
Warrants) cannot exceed $14,400,000 and consists of (i) $5,000,000 ($0.521 per
share) cash at closing of the JEDI Purchase Agreement plus

-9-
<PAGE> 12
PRELIMINARY COPIES
DRAFT APRIL 4, 1997

(ii) contingent cash payment obligations (up to an aggregate of $9,400,000).
All of such funds would be used by the Company to fund the Forseti transaction
agreements. See "FORSETI TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS."

In connection with the purchase by JEDI of the Series A Preferred
Stock, the JEDI Warrants and the Robertson Warrants, the Company has agreed to
grant JEDI certain maintenance rights and certain demand and piggyback
registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the JEDI Warrants and the Robertson Warrants. Upon
purchasing the Series A Preferred Stock at the closing, JEDI may designate a
number of directors to the Company's Board of Directors, such that the
percentage of the number of directors that JEDI may designate approximates the
percentage voting power JEDI will have with respect to the Company's Common
Stock. See "JEDI TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS."

The terms of the JEDI Purchase Agreement and the other agreements to
be entered into between the Company and JEDI are the product of arms-length
negotiations.

Forseti Transaction. The Company and Forseti have entered into the
Forseti Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to
repurchase at the closing under the Forseti Purchase Agreement, 9,600,000
shares of Common Stock owned by Forseti in exchange for (i) $5,000,000 ($0.521
per share) cash, (ii) the issuance by the Company of Class A Warrants to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $2.50
per share and Class B Warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at
an initial exercise price of $2.50 per share, and (iii) contingent obligations
(up to an aggregate of $9,400,000) to Forseti under the Forseti Earn Up
Agreement, as described below. However, pursuant to the terms of the Forseti
Earn Up Agreement, Forseti will not be able to both exercise the Forseti
Warrants and receive full payment under the Forseti Earn Up. Instead, Forseti
will have the option of either exercising the Forseti Warrants or receiving any
payments due under the Forseti Earn Up Agreement. The aggregate consideration
paid or payable by the Company to Forseti in respect of the repurchase of the
Forseti Stock cannot exceed $14,400,000. This consideration will be funded
only through the JEDI Purchase Agreement and the JEDI Earn Up Agreement. See
"FORSETI TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS."

The Charter Amendment will (i) create a new class of preferred stock
and authorize the issuance of an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, of which, following closing of the JEDI Purchase Agreement, 9,600,000
shares will be issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
9,600,000 shares will be authorized but unissued shares of Series B Preferred
Stock, and 30,800,000 shares will be Undesignated Preferred Stock available for
issuance by the Company in the future and (ii) authorize an additional

60,000,000 shares of Common Stock (in addition to the 40,000,000 shares
currently authorized under the Certificate of Incorporation). See "JEDI
TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS -- Description of Series A Preferred Stock and
Description of Series B Preferred Stock." As of April 1, 1997, there were
30,224,500 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and no shares
of Common Stock held in treasury, leaving 9,775,500 shares of Common Stock
authorized for issuance. Following completion of the Proposed Transactions,
there would be an aggregate of 9,600,000 shares held in treasury and
69,775,500 shares of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock. Any
authorized but unissued or unreserved Common Stock and Undesignated Preferred
Stock would be available for issuance at any time, on such terms and for such
purposes as the Board of Directors may deem advisable in the future without
further action by stockholders of the Company, except as may be required by
law. The Board of Directors of the Company will have the authority to fix the
rights, powers, designations, and preferences of the Undesignated Preferred
Stock and to provide for one or more series of Undesignated Preferred Stock.
The authority will include, but not be limited to, determination of the number
of shares to be included in the series, dividend rates and rights, voting
rights, if any, conversion privileges and terms, redemption conditions,
redemption values, sinking funds and rights upon involuntary or voluntary
liquidation. Except as described herein, the Company currently has no plans to
issue shares of Undesignated Preferred Stock.

The Board of Directors will file with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation to establish the rights, powers,
designations and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A
Certificate of Designation"). In addition, the Board of Directors will file a
Certificate of Designation to establish the rights, powers, designations and
preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Certificate of
Designation"). The Charter Amendment will authorize the Board of Directors,
without further stockholder approval, to approve the Series A Certificate of
Designation and the Series B Certificate of Designation.

The Company has sufficient authorized Common Stock to allow for the
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the exercise of the JEDI
Warrants, the Robertson Warrants and the Forseti Warrants. However, the
Company believes the increase in the authorized amount of Common Stock and the
creation of the Preferred Stock is in the best interests of the Company and
believes it advisable to authorize such shares to have them available for,
among other things, possible issuance in connection with such activities as
public or private offerings of shares for cash, dividends payable in stock in
the Company, acquisitions of other companies or properties and implementation
of employee benefits plans. Without the additional authorized shares, the
Company believes that the Company's ability to take advantage of future growth
opportunities through additional acquisition and financing transactions or
participation in other types of transactions would be impaired.

Expenses. The Company estimates it will incur approximately
$_________ of expenses (including legal fees, printing fees and filing fees) in
connection with this transaction. In addition, the Company must reimburse JEDI
for approximately $_____ in out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees, fees
of environmental consultants and travel expenses). Forseti has agreed to
reimburse the Company at closing for approximately $_______ of these expenses.

Dissenters' Rights and Preemptive Rights. Stockholders have no
dissenters' rights or preemptive rights in connection with the issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock or any of the warrants (or the Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the warrants).

The approximate number of record holders of the Company's Common Stock
as of April 1, 1997 was ___________, inclusive of those brokerage firms and/or
clearing houses holding common stock for their customers (with each such
brokerage house and/or clearing house being considered as one holder). The
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 1, 1997 was

Current management believes that the Company has not declared any cash

declared any cash dividends on its Common Stock since current management
assumed their positions in March 1995 and has no present intention of paying
any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, the
Company intends to retain available cash for reinvestment in the Company's
business. Under the terms of the Company's credit facility, cash dividends on
its Common Stock can be paid only with the consent of Comerica Bank-Texas.

CERTAIN EFFECTS OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT
AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

Dilution. To the extent that 9,600,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock are being issued to JEDI and 9,600,000 shares of Common Stock are being
repurchased by the Company from Forseti, the holders of the Common Stock will
experience no immediate dilution in their voting power as of the closing of the
Proposed Transactions. However, holders of Common Stock may experience
dilution in their voting power upon exercise of the JEDI Warrants, the
Robertson Warrants or the Forseti Warrants. In addition, the holders of the
Common Stock may experience dilution in their voting power as a result of any
future issuance of shares of Common Stock or shares of Undesignated Preferred
Stock having voting rights.

Antitakeover Effect. As a result of JEDI's substantial ownership
interest in the Company's securities, it may be more difficult for a third
party to acquire control of the Company without JEDI's approval. In addition,
the authority of the Board of Directors to issue the Undesignated Preferred
Stock could have the effect of discouraging attempts to obtain control of the
Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contests or otherwise or
could delay and make more costly any such attempt.

No Net Increase in Capital. After giving effect to the expenses of
the transaction, the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock and the repurchase of
the Forseti Stock will not increase the Company's aggregate capital.
Furthermore, all cash paid to the Company under the JEDI Purchase Agreement and
JEDI Earn Up Agreement are dedicated solely to fulfill all payment obligations
of the Company to Forseti under the Forseti Purchase Agreement and the Forseti
Earn Up Agreement.

Liquidation Preference of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock
(if and when issued) will have preference over the Common Stock in the case of
the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Under the Series A
Certificate of Designation and the Series B Certificate of Designation, the
Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock (if and when issued),
respectively, will be entitled to receive payment equal to the lesser of (i)
$1.50 per share or (ii) $0.521 per share, plus the quotient obtained by
dividing (i) the aggregate amount of all payments made, as of the date of the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Company by JEDI pursuant to the
JEDI Earn Up Agreement by (ii) 9,600,000, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon before any payment will be made to the holders of the Common Stock.
See "JEDI TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS -- Description of Series A Preferred Stock --
Liquidation."

Certain Rights of JEDI. Through the JEDI Purchase Agreement and the
Series A Certificate of Designation, JEDI will have the benefit of various
covenants of the Company into the future. See "JEDI TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS --
Description of JEDI Purchase Agreement -- Covenants." In addition, JEDI will
have rights to elect one director of the Company's Board of Directors, based on
the current size of the Company's Board of Directors. See "JEDI TRANSACTION
AGREEMENTS -- Description of the Series A Preferred Stock -- Election of
Directors." A breach of any of the covenants will, subject to certain grace
periods, result in an Event of Default (as defined in the Series A Certificate
of Designation). Depending upon the breach, JEDI has various remedies,
including the right to receive dividends during the pendency of the breach, the
right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors and the right to require
the Company to repurchase the Series A Preferred Stock

-13-
<PAGE> 16
PRELIMINARY COPIES
DRAFT APRIL 4, 1997

at a price equal to $5,000,000 plus JEDI's total payments under the JEDI Earn
Up Agreement as of the repurchase date. All of these rights will afford JEDI
significant influence over the Company's business. See "JEDI TRANSACTION
AGREEMENTS -- Description of Series A Preferred Stock - - Events of Default;
Remedies."

Class Voting. Approval of the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock, voting as a class, will be required to approve: (i) the amendment of
any provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws; (ii)
the creation, authorization or issuance, or the increase in the authorized
amount of, any class or series of shares ranking on a parity with or prior to
the Series A Preferred Stock either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up; (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into any other corporation or other entity or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets; or (iv) the reorganization,
recapitalization, or restructuring or similar transaction that requires the
approval of the stockholders of the Company. See "JEDI TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS
- -- Description of Series A Preferred Stock -- Voting."

Upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default (as defined below),
JEDI would have the right to elect a majority of the Company's Board of
Directors. See "JEDI TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS -- Description of Series A
Preferred Stock -- Events of Default; Remedies."

Maintenance Rights. JEDI will have certain maintenance rights to
acquire shares of capital stock issuable by the Company. JEDI will have the
additional right to defer exercising its maintenance right for up to one year
by accepting a warrant to acquire such capital stock. See "JEDI TRANSACTION
AGREEMENTS -- Description of the JEDI Purchase Agreement -- Maintenance
Rights."

Dividend. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Series A
Preferred Stock to be issued to JEDI will be entitled to cumulative dividends,
which will accrue at the rate of 6% of the liquidation preference per share of
Series A Preferred Stock per annum. Further, unless all accrued and unpaid
dividends are paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, no cash dividends
may be declared or paid on the shares of Common Stock or any junior securities
and no shares of Common Stock or other junior securities may be redeemed or
otherwise acquired for consideration. See "JEDI TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS --
Description of Series A Preferred Stock -- Events of Default; Remedies."
Although current management believes that the Company has not declared any cash
dividends since 1989, and the Company has not paid any cash dividends since
current management assumed their positions in March 1995, this provision may
impair the ability of the Company to pay cash dividends to holders of the
Common Stock in the future.

Potential Future Change of Control. Because the Company could issue a
significant number of shares in connection with future financings or
acquisitions, it is possible that a change of control of the Company could
occur. Except for the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B
Preferred Stock (if and when issued), the JEDI Warrants, the Robertson
Warrants, the Forseti Warrants, and the Common Stock to be issued by the
Company to raise $5,400,000 as required under the JEDI Purchase Agreement,
there are at present no specific understandings, arrangements or agreements
with respect to any future acquisitions or other transaction that would require
the Company to issue any new shares of its Common Stock or Undesignated
Preferred Stock.

Ability of Board of Directors to Approve Terms of Future Series of
Preferred Stock. Except as described herein with respect to the Series A
Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, it is not possible to state
the actual effect of the Undesignated Preferred Stock on the rights of holders
of Common Stock until the Board determines the rights and preferences of one or
more series of the Undesignated Preferred Stock. However, such effects could
include: (i) restrictions on dividends; (ii) dilution of the voting power to
the extent that one or more classes or series of preferred stock were given
voting rights; (iii) dilution of the equity interest of the Common Stock; and
(iv) restrictions upon distributions of assets to the holders of Common Stock
upon liquidation or dissolution until the satisfaction of any liquidation
preference of one or more classes or series of the Undesignated Preferred
Stock. The Board of Directors could issue shares of Undesignated Preferred
Stock with such rights and preferences that could discourage attempts by others
to obtain control of the Company through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or
otherwise by making such attempts more difficult to achieve or more costly. The
Board of Directors could issue a series with rights more favorable with respect
to dividends, liquidation and voting than those held by the holders of the
Common Stock of the Company. The Board will make such determination regarding
the Undesignated Preferred Stock without further stockholder authorization
unless, in the Company's opinion, such approval is required or advisable.

is entitled to exercise its maintenance rights, the Company shall issue to JEDI
a warrant for the purchase of the capital stock that JEDI is entitled, but does

disputes in question within 30 days after appointment of a mediator, the
dispute shall be resolved by arbitration governed by the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Expenses. The Company will pay its own expenses and the
out-of-pocket third party expenses reasonably incurred by JEDI in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the JEDI Purchase Agreement.

Description of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Certificate of
Designation will authorize the issuance of up to 9,600,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock. The following description of the rights, preferences and
limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock is a summary only and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the entire text of the Series A Certificate of
Designation which is an exhibit to the JEDI Purchase Agreement.

Voting. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
will generally be entitled to vote (on an as-converted basis) as a single class
with the holders of the Common Stock, together with all other classes and
series of stock of the Company that are entitled to vote as a single class with
the Common Stock, on all matters coming before the Company's stockholders. In
any vote with respect to which the Series A Preferred Stock shall vote with the
holders of Common Stock as a single class, each share of Series A Preferred
Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast the number of votes equal to the
number which could be cast in such vote by a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible
on the date of such vote.

With respect to any matter for which class voting is required by law
or the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, except as otherwise described
herein, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will vote as a class and
each holder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held.

For so long as 960,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are
outstanding, the following matters will require the approval of the holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class:

(i) the amendment of any provision of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws;

(ii) the creation, authorization or issuance, or the
increase in the authorized amount of, any class or series of shares
ranking on a parity with or prior to the Series A Preferred Stock
either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up;

-22-
<PAGE> 25
PRELIMINARY COPIES
DRAFT APRIL 4, 1997

(iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or
into any other corporation or other entity or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets; or

(iv) the reorganization, recapitalization, or
restructuring or similar transaction that requires the approval of the
stockholders of the Company.

Election of Directors. The holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall have the right, acting separately as a class, to elect a
number of members to the Company's Board of Directors. The number shall be a
number such that the quotient obtained by dividing such number by the maximum
authorized number of directors is as close as possible to being equal to the
percentage of the outstanding voting power of the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors represented by the outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock at the relevant time.

Conversion. A holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall have the right, at the holder's option, to convert all or a portion of its
shares into shares of Common Stock at any time at an initial rate of one share
of Series A Preferred Stock for one share of Common Stock.

The Series A Certificate of Designation provides for customary
adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon conversion in the event of
certain dividends and distributions to holders of Common Stock, certain
reclassifications of the Common Stock, stock splits, and combinations and
mergers and similar transactions.

Immediately following such conversion, the rights of the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock shall cease and the persons entitled to receive Common
Stock upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be treated as the
owners of such Common Stock. The Company is required to maintain a reserve of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock in full.

Concurrently with the transfer of any shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to any person (other than a direct or indirect affiliate of JEDI or other
entity managed by Enron Corp. or any of its affiliates), the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock so transferred will automatically convert into a like number of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock. See "JEDI TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS --
Description of Series B Preferred Stock."

Dividends. The holders of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, when, and as if declared by the
Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, any dividend
(other than a dividend or distribution paid in shares of, or warrants, rights
or options exercisable for or convertible into or exchangeable for, Common
Stock) is payable on the Common Stock, as and when paid, in an amount equal to
the amount each such holder would have received if such holder's shares of
Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior
to the record date, or if there is no record date, the date of payment thereof.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will also have the right to certain
dividends upon and during the continuance of an event of default. See "JEDI
TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS -- Description of Series A Preferred Stock -- Events of
Default; Remedies."

Liquidation. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Company, the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, before
any distribution to the holders of Common Stock, will be entitled to receive
(i) an amount per share equal to the lesser of (A) $1.50 and (B) the sum of (x)
$0.521 and (v) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the aggregate amount of
all payments made, as of the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, to the Company by JEDI pursuant to the JEDI Earn Up Agreement by (2)
9,600,000, plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The holders of
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to participate
further in the distribution of the assets of the Company.

Events of Default; Remedies. The Series A Certificate of
Designation will provide that an Event of Default will be deemed to have
occurred if the Company fails to comply with any of its covenants in the JEDI
Purchase Agreement; provided, that the Company will have a 30-day cure period
with respect to the non-compliance with certain covenants. See "JEDI
TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS -- Description of JEDI Purchase Agreement -- Covenants."
JEDI may waive any Event of Default.

Upon the occurrence but only during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive,
in addition to other dividends payable to holders of Series A Preferred Stock,
when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally
available therefor, cumulative preferential cash dividends accruing from the
date of the Event of Default in an amount per share per annum equal to 6% of
the Liquidation Preference in effect at the time of accrual of such dividends,
payable quarterly in arrears on or before the 15th day after the last day of
each calendar quarter during which such dividends are payable. Unless full
cumulative dividends accrued on shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been or
contemporaneously are declared and paid, no dividend may be declared or paid or
set aside for payment on the Common Stock or any other junior securities (other
than a dividend or distribution paid in shares of, or warrants, rights or
options exercisable for or convertible into or exchangeable for, Common Stock
or any other junior securities), nor shall any Common Stock nor any other
junior securities be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any
consideration nor may any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking
fund for the redemption of any shares of any such securities.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
resulting from the failure to comply with certain covenants, the holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right, acting separately as a
class, to elect a number of persons to the Board of Directors of the Company,
that along with any members of the Board of Directors who are serving at the
time of such action, will constitute a majority of the Board of Directors.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default resulting from the failure
to comply with certain covenants, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock will have the right, by written notice to the Company, to require the
Company to repurchase, out of funds legally available therefor, such holder's
shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to the
Liquidation Preference in effect at the time of the Event of Default.

Description of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Certificate
of Designation will authorize the issuance of up to 9,600,000 shares of Series
B Preferred Stock. The following description of the rights, preferences and
limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock is a summary only and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the entire text of the Series B Certificate of
Designation which is an exhibit to the JEDI Purchase Agreement. The terms of
the Series B Preferred Stock are substantially similar to those of the Series A
Preferred

class voting rights except as required under Delaware corporate law, (ii) be
entitled to any remedies upon an event of default or (iii) be entitled to elect
any directors of the Company, voting separately as a class.

Description of the JEDI Warrants. Pursuant to the JEDI Purchase
Agreement, at the closing under such agreement, the Company shall issue the
JEDI Warrants for the purchase of Common Stock of the Company. The JEDI
Warrants will be exercisable commencing on October 1, 1998 and ending on
December 31, 1998. At the time of exercisability, the JEDI Warrants shall be
exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock (or amount of other
property) equal to the number of shares of Common Stock (or amount of other

would have been received upon the exercise on the Election Date (as defined in

Forseti to the Company pursuant to the Forseti Earn Up Agreement. The JEDI
Warrants may be exercised in full or in part by means of payment of the
exercise price (initially $2.50 per share of Common Stock in cash). The JEDI
Warrants provide for customary adjustments to the exercise price and number of
shares to be issued in the event of certain dividends and distributions to
holders of Common Stock, stock splits, combinations and mergers. The JEDI
Warrants also include customary provisions with respect to, among other things,
reservation of shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of the JEDI
Warrants, mutilated or lost warrant certificates, and notices to holder(s) of
the JEDI Warrants.

Description of the Robertson Warrants. Pursuant to the JEDI Purchase
Agreement, at the closing under such agreement, the Company shall issue the

Description of the Stockholders Agreement. Pursuant to the JEDI
Purchase Agreement, at the closing under such agreement, EIBOC, Bruce I. Benn,
Ronald I. Benn, Edward J. Munden and JEDI will enter into the Stockholders
Agreement. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, each of EIBOC, Bruce I.
Benn, Ronald I. Benn, Edward J. Munden and Robert P. Lindsay will agree to
certain restrictions on the transfer of shares of the 6,600,000 shares of
Common Stock held by EIBOC, and JEDI will agree to certain restrictions on the
transfer of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (including the Series A
Preferred Stock, the JEDI Warrants and the Robertson Warrants) held by JEDI.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, each of EIBOC and Bruce I.
Benn, Ronald I. Benn, Edward J. Munden and Robert P. Lindsay (collectively the

transfer of, any of the 6,600,000 shares of Common Stock in which they have or

distribution or otherwise by operation of law or judicial decree or as
permitted by the Stockholders Agreement.

The Stockholders Agreement will permit EIBOC and the Management
Stockholders to make the following transfers of shares of Common Stock after
October 1, 1997: (i) EIBOC and the Management Stockholders in the aggregate
may transfer shares of Common Stock provided that the number of shares of
Common Stock to be transferred together with all shares of Common Stock
transferred by EIBOC and the Management Stockholders during the preceding 12
months does not exceed the lesser of (x) four percent of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, (y) four times the average weekly reported volume of trading,
excluding any trades made by a Management Stockholder on all national
securities exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of
a registered securities association during the four calendar weeks preceding
the date of transfer or (z) four times the average weekly volume of trading,
excluding any trades made by a Management Stockholder, in Common Stock reported
through the consolidated transaction reporting system, contemplated by Rule
11Aa3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during the four
week period specified in clause (y); and (ii) EIBOC and the Management
Stockholders may transfer shares of Common Stock in a registered underwritten
public offering of Common Stock; provided, that neither EIBOC nor any
Management Stockholder may transfer shares of Common Stock if after the
transfer EIBOC and the Management Stockholders would beneficially own less than
4,950,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, subject to certain
adjustments for stock splits, combinations, and stock dividends.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, JEDI will agree that until the
second anniversary of the date of the Stockholders Agreement, and except
pursuant to its registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement,
JEDI will not transfer any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (a "Common Stock
Equivalent") to any person that is not an affiliate of JEDI except in blocks of
at least 600,000 shares of Common Stock or blocks of Common Stock Equivalents
that are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for at least 600,000

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, JEDI will agree that until the
second anniversary of the date of the Stockholders Agreement and except
pursuant to its registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement,
JEDI will not transfer any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
to a person that is not an affiliate of JEDI without first giving the Company
and the Management Stockholders a right of first refusal to purchase the shares
of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. Pursuant to the right of first
refusal, the Company will have the first right, which must be exercised within
30 days after receipt of notice of the proposed transfer, to purchase the
shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to be transferred. If the
Company does not elect to acquire the shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents to be transferred, the Management Stockholders (if the Management
Stockholders own in the aggregate more than 10% of the voting power of the
Company's capital stock) will have the right to purchase such securities if the
Management Stockholders notify JEDI of such election within 30 days after the
Company's receipt of notice of the proposed transfer.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, EIBOC and the Management
Stockholders will make certain representations and warranties to JEDI, and
EIBOC will covenant not to issue any capital stock, permit its capital stock to
be transferred or enter into any agreement relating to the issuance of its
capital stock or engage in any business or activity other than the ownership of
6,600,000 shares of Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the 6,600,000 shares of Common
Stock owned by EIBOC and all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of
EIBOC (i) will be deposited in escrow pursuant to escrow agreements mutually
acceptable to EIBOC, the Management Stockholders and JEDI, and (ii) will be
held in escrow until the earlier of the transfer of the 6,600,000 shares of
Common Stock owned by EIBOC in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement to a
person other than a Management Stockholder or related party and the termination
of the Stockholders Agreement.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, EIBOC will grant to the
Management Stockholders an irrevocable proxy to vote the 6,600,000 shares of
Common Stock owned by EIBOC.

The Stockholders Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) the
fifth anniversary of the date of the Stockholders Agreement or (ii) the date on
which JEDI and its affiliates beneficially own in the aggregate less than 10%
of the voting power of the Company's capital stock.

Description of the Registration Rights Agreement. The Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or upon exercise of
the JEDI Warrants or the Robertson Warrants will not be registered with the SEC
and therefore, will be, when issued, restricted securities. The JEDI Purchase
Agreement provides that at the closing under the agreement the Company shall
enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with JEDI pursuant to which JEDI
will be entitled to certain additional rights with respect to the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or upon
exercise of the JEDI Warrants or the Robertson Warrants (the "Registrable
Securities").

The Registration Rights Agreement provides for demand and piggyback
registration rights. A holder of Registrable Securities (a "Holder") or
Holders who hold at least a majority of the Registrable Securities may demand
registration up to 3 times; provided that the proposed aggregate offering
proceeds from the sale of such Holder or Holders portion of Registrable
Securities is at least $1,000,000. Generally, the Company bears the expense of
the demand registration statements, while the selling Holders bear selling
expenses such as underwriting fees and discounts. The Registration Rights
Agreement also provides for unlimited piggyback registration rights. That is,
in the event that the Company proposes to register the sale for cash of any of
its securities under the Securities Act for its own account, or for the account
of any other person, the holders will be entitled to include Registrable
Securities in any such registration, subject to the right of the managing
underwriter of any such offering under certain circumstances to exclude some or
all of such Registrable Securities from such registration. The Company
generally bears the expense of any piggyback registration statement, while
selling holders generally bear selling expenses such as underwriting fees and
discounts. The Registration Rights Agreement also includes customary
indemnification and contribution provisions, and with regard to demand
registration rights, a provision allowing the Company to postpone filing or the
declaration of effectiveness of an applicable registration statement for up to
an aggregate of 90 days if at

the relevant time the Company is engaged in a firm commitment underwritten
public offering in which Registrable Securities may be included or for up to an
aggregate of 60 days if there exists information the disclosure of which would
be materially harmful to the Company. The Company will no longer be obligated
to register the Registrable Securities upon disposition pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act, the eligibility of disposal under Rule 144(k) under
the Securities Act or a registration statement covering such Registrable
Security has been declared effective by the SEC and such Registrable Security
has been issued, sold or disposed of pursuant to such effective registration
statement. JEDI may transfer its registration rights (including demand
registration rights that JEDI has not exercised) to a third party but may not
transfer more than one demand registration right.

Description of the JEDI Earn Up Agreement. Pursuant to the JEDI
Purchase Agreement, the Company and JEDI will enter into, at the closing of the
transactions under the JEDI Purchase Agreement, the JEDI Earn Up Agreement. On
or prior to October 15, 1998, subject to the limitations in the JEDI Earn Up
Agreement and against delivery by Forseti to the Company of the Forseti
Warrants and a statutory declaration as to certain matters, JEDI shall pay the
Company the Earn Up Amount. The Earn Up Amount cannot exceed the amount
defined as the "Earn Up Amount" under the Forseti Earn Up Agreement.

The "Earn Up Amount" is a dollar amount equal to the amount, if any,
by which (i) the sum of the Class A Amount and the Class B Amount exceeds (ii)
the Warrant Transfer Amount; provided, that in no event shall the Earn Up
Amount exceed $9,400,000.

The "Class A Amount" is a dollar amount equal to the product of (i)
the Value (not to exceed $1.50) less $1.25, multiplied by (ii) 9,600,000;
provided, that in no event shall the Class A Amount be greater than $2,400,000;
and if the Class A Amount is zero or a negative number, the Class A Amount
shall be deemed to be zero.

The "Class B Amount" is a dollar amount equal to the product of (i)
the Value (not to exceed $1.25) less $0.521, multiplied by (ii) 9,600,000;
provided, that in no event shall the Class B Amount be greater than $7,000,000;
and if the Class B Amount is zero or a negative number, the Class B Amount
shall be deemed to be zero.

The "Warrant Transfer Amount" is a dollar amount equal to the greatest
of (i) the product of (x) $3.50 multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of
Forseti Warrants transferred by Forseti before the Payment Date; (ii) the
aggregate gross proceeds that Forseti has received or is entitled to receive
from the transfer of all of the Forseti Warrants transferred by Forseti before
the Payment Date; and (iii) the difference between the average bid price of the
Company's shares of Common Stock for the 21-day period ending on September 30,
1998 less $2.50, multiplied by the number of Forseti Warrants transferred by
Forseti before the Payment Date.

"Value" means the product of the Price, multiplied by 0.60; provided,
that if (i) the Common Stock is quoted on The Nasdaq National Market at the
Election Date and (ii) the average daily trading volume of the Company's shares
of Common Stock for the 21-day period ending on the Election Date is at least
50,000 shares per day (excluding trading of shares in any accounts controlled
by the Company or Forseti or their respective affiliates, and provided, that if
on any of the 21 days the trading volume is greater than 300,000 shares, then
only

300,000 shares on such days may be used in calculating the average), then Value
means the product of the Price, multiplied by 0.75.

"Price" means, if:

(Price(1) - Price(2))
Less than or equal to 0.1, then
(Price(1) + Price(2))/2;
----------------------
Greater of Price(1) or Price(2)

provided, that if:

(Price(1) - Price(2))
Greater than 0.1, then the Company and JEDI
----------------------
Greater of Price(1) or Price(2)

shall negotiate the Price; provided, further, that if the Price has not been
negotiated within 5 business days after the determination of Price1 and Price2,
then the determination of the Price shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation
and arbitration in accordance with the JEDI Earn Up Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the JEDI Earn Up Agreement, under no circumstances
can the Price be higher than the higher of Price1 and Price2 or be less than
the lower of Price1 and Price2.

"Price(1)" = (1.1 * SEC PV(10)) - Indebtedness + Consolidated Working Capital

Outstanding Shares

"Price(2)" = (6.0 * EBITDA) - Indebtedness + Consolidated Working Capital
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Outstanding Shares

The parties must first attempt to resolve disputes under the JEDI Earn
Up Agreement pursuant to non-binding mediation. Disputes that are not resolved
pursuant to non-binding mediation shall be settled by arbitration in accordance
with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

The JEDI Earn Up Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) a
transfer of any Forseti Warrants in violation of the restrictions on transfer
in the Forseti Purchase Agreement, (ii) the election by Forseti to retain the
Forseti Warrants pursuant to the Forseti Earn Up Agreement, (iii) the transfer
of all of the Forseti Warrants, (iv) upon the transfer of any ownership
interest in Forseti or any entity controlling Forseti where the purpose of the
transfer is to realize or receive cash, securities or any other property as
consideration for the Forseti Warrants without transferring the Forseti
Warrants and (v) as of the Election Date or the Payment Date, the individual,
who as of the date of the Forseti Earn Up Agreement owned directly or
indirectly all of the ownership interests of Forseti and each entity
controlling Forseti does not own, directly or indirectly, all of the ownership
interests of Forseti and each entity controlling Forseti.

Description of the Forseti Earn Up Agreement. Pursuant to the Forseti
Purchase Agreement, the Company and Forseti will enter into, at the closing of
the transactions under the Forseti Purchase Agreement, the Forseti Earn Up
Agreement. Pursuant to the Forseti Earn Up Agreement, on the later of
September 30, 1998 or the date that is 14 days after the date that the Company
notifies Forseti to request his election (the "Election Date"), Forseti will
elect whether to (i) accept payment of the Earn Up Amount (in which event
Forseti may not exercise or transfer the Forseti Warrants that have not been
previously exercised or transferred) or (ii) retain the Forseti Warrants that
have not been previously exercised or transferred (in which event the Company
is not obligated to pay Forseti the Earn Up Amount and the Company's
obligations under the Forseti Earn Up Agreement terminate). If Forseti elects
to accept payment of the Earn Up Amount, then subject to limitations in the
Forseti Earn Up Agreement and against delivery by Forseti of the Forseti
Warrants and a statutory declaration as to certain matters, the Company shall
pay Forseti the Earn Up Amount on or before the later of October 15, 1998 or
the date that is 15 days after the date Forseti makes its election (the
"Payment Date").

The definitions of the terms in the Forseti Earn Up Agreement relating
to the determination of the Earn Up Amount are identical to the definitions in
the JEDI Earn Up Agreement, with the exception that under the definition of the
term "Price," if the quotient of (i) the difference of Price1 and Price2,
divided by (ii) the greater of Price1 and Price2 is greater than 0.1, then the
Company and Forseti, as opposed to JEDI, will negotiate the Price.

The Company shall be obligated to pay Forseti under the Forseti Earn
Up Agreement only to the extent that the Company has received a like amount in
cash from JEDI under the JEDI Earn Up Agreement.

If the sum of (i) $5,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate amount received by
Forseti from the transfer of Warrants, exceeds the sum of (x) $14,400,000 plus
(y) a dollar amount equal to the sum of the expenses of the Company paid by
Forseti pursuant to the Forseti Purchase Agreement, the reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses up to a maximum of $50,000 incurred by Forseti in
connection with the Forseti Purchase Agreement, and the escrow agent fees

incurred by Forseti under the Escrow Agreement (the sum of subclauses (x) and
(y) being referred to as the "Net Proceeds"), then within 10 days of the date
(the "Excess Determination Date") the aggregate amount received by Forseti
exceeds the Net Proceeds, (x) Forseti shall deliver to the Company an amount in
cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds equal to 75% of such
amount received by Forseti in excess of the Net Proceeds, and (y) Forseti shall
spend the remaining 25% of such excess amount to purchase from the Company,
subject to applicable securities laws, Common Stock at a price equal to the
average of the Nasdaq bid price over 21 trading days ending on the Excess
Determination Date.

Pursuant to the Forseti Earn Up Agreement, the Company will grant to
Forseti an option to purchase from the Company a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the amount by which the Earn Up Amount
exceeds $7,000,000 and (y) $2.50, at a price equal to $2.50. The option will
be exercisable in full or in part only from the date that the Earn Up Amount is
paid by the Company to Forseti through the fifth business day after the date of
payment of the Earn Up Amount. The Forseti Earn Up Agreement will provide for
customary adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares to be
issued in the event of certain dividends and distributions to holders of Common
Stock, stock splits or combinations or reclassifications.

The parties must first attempt to resolve disputes under the Forseti
Earn Up Agreement pursuant to non-binding mediation. Disputes that are not
resolved pursuant to non-binding mediation shall be settled by arbitration in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association.

The Forseti Earn Up Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) a
transfer of any Forseti Warrants in violation of the restrictions on transfer
in the Forseti Purchase Agreement, (ii) the election by Forseti to retain the
Forseti Warrants pursuant to the Forseti Earn Up Agreement, (iii) the transfer
of all of the Forseti Warrants, (iv) upon the transfer of any ownership
interest in Forseti or any entity controlling Forseti where the purpose of the
transfer is to realize or receive cash, securities or any other property as
consideration for the Forseti Warrants without transferring the Forseti
Warrants and (v) as of the Election Date or the Payment Date, the individual,
who as of the date of the Forseti Earn Up Agreement owned, directly or
indirectly, all of the ownership interests of Forseti and each entity
controlling Forseti does not own, directly or indirectly, all of the ownership
interests of Forseti and each entity controlling Forseti.

Description of the Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to the Forseti Purchase
Agreement, at the closing under such agreement, the Company, Forseti and an
escrow agent mutually acceptable to the Company and Forseti shall enter into
the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agreement will govern the deposit into escrow
of the Forseti Warrants and the consideration for the transfer of Warrants.
The escrow agent may deliver the Forseti Warrants and the consideration for the
transfer of the Forseti Warrants to Forseti only upon receipt of notice from
the Company and Forseti to release the Forseti Warrants and the consideration
for the transfer of the Forseti Warrants. The Escrow Agreement contains
customary provisions regarding indemnification of the escrow agent. Forseti
will pay the fees of the escrow agent for its services under the Escrow
Agreement.
