                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS,  effective  as  of  February  6,  1998,  Purchaser,  Seller,   the
Stockholders, and the Former Stockholders entered into an Option and Acquisition
Agreement  (the  "Agreement"), pursuant to which Purchaser acquired an option to
purchase substantially all of the assets of Seller or all of the shares of stock
held  by  the  Stockholders,  Diane  Brooks  and  Dave  Coy;

     WHEREAS,  pursuant  to  a letter to Seller dated January 8, 2003, Purchaser
exercised  its  option  to purchase substantially all of the assets of Seller as
set  forth  in  the  Agreement;  and

     WHEREAS,  the  parties  wish  to  amend  the Agreement as set forth in this
Amendment.
