                                  AMENDMENT TO
                          STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT


             THIS AMENDMENT (the "Amendment") dated as of April 15, 1997, amends
that certain Stock Option Grant Agreement (the "Option Agreement") between
Sequester Holdings, Incorporated, a Nevada corporation ("Company"), and Bonnie
L. Richards ("Optionee"), dated as of March 26, 1997. Capitalized terms that are
not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings ascribed to them in the
Option Agreement.

             WHEREAS, pursuant to the Option Agreement, Company granted Optionee
an Option to purchase 1,000,000 Shares at an exercise price of $0.53; and

             WHEREAS, Optionee has requested that such Option be reduced to
500,000 Shares in the best interest of the Company and in Optionee's best
interest as a stockholder and senior officer thereof;

             NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants and conditions contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

    1.       Amendment of the Option Agreement. The number of Option Shares
             shall be 500,000.

    2.       Release. Optionee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases,
             discharges, waives and renounces any and all rights, benefits,
             claims, actions and causes of action, counterclaims, third-party
             claims, offsets, demands, affirmative defenses, debts,
             controversies, contracts, promises, damages, costs, losses and
             expenses of every kind, character and description whatsoever,
             liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, whether matured or
             unmatured (collectively "Claims") arising under or relating to the
             number of Option Shares originally set forth in the Option
             Agreement. In connection with the foregoing release, Optionee
             waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits conferred by
             California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides that:

                      "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE
                      CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT
                      THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM
                      MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
                      DEBTOR."

    3.       Effectiveness.  This Amendment is effective as of April 15, 1997.

    4.       Integration. This Amendment shall supersede all other prior
             agreements, arrangements and understandings, whether oral or
             written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

as of the effective date set forth above.
