                          AMENDMENT TO OPTION AGREEMENT

         AGREEMENT made as of November 15, 1996 between MicroTel International,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the "Company"), and Daniel Dror
(hereinafter called "Optionee").

         WHEREAS, the Company previously granted an option to the Optionee to
purchase 25,000 (post-split) shares of the Company's common stock, $.0033 par
value per share (the "Shares"), dated as of March 16, 1995 (the "Option"); and

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Optionee have entered into an agreement as
of the date hereof with respect to the extension of the termination date of such
option;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, it is agreed as
follows:

         1.  Section 4 of the Option is hereby amended in its entirety as
follows:

         "4.  Termination of Option.
              (a) Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, the option, to
the extent not previously exercised shall terminate forthwith on November 14,
1999, at 5:00 p.m., San Jose, California time (the "Expiration Date")."

         2.  If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its
securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act")(other
than pursuant to Form S-8 or other comparable form), the Company shall include
the shares of common stock subject to this Option in such registration. The
Company shall at such time give prompt written notice to Optionee of its
intention to effect such registration and of Optionee's rights under such
proposed registration, and upon the request of Optionee delivered to the Company
within twenty (20) days after giving of such notice (which request shall specify
the number of shares of common stock intended to be disposed of by Optionee),
the Company shall include such shares of common stock requested to be included
in such registration; provided, however, that if, at any time after giving such
written notice of the Company's intention to register any of Optionee's shares
of common stock and prior to the effective date of the registration statement
filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any
reason not to proceed with such registration statement, the Company may give
written notice of such determination to Optionee and thereupon shall be relieved
of its obligation to register such shares of common stock (but not from its
obligation to pay registration expenses in connection therewith or to register
such shares of Common Stock in a subsequent registration).

         All expenses incurred in any registration of Optionee's common stock
under this Agreement shall be paid by the Company, including, without
limitation, printing expenses, fees and

disbursements of counsel for the Company, all registration and filing fees for
Optionee's common stock under federal and State securities laws, and expenses of
complying with the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in which
Optionee reasonably requests the registration of his common stock; provided,
however, the Company shall not be liable for (a) any discounts or commissions to
any underwriter; (b) any stock transfer taxes incurred; or (c) the fees and
expenses of counsel for Optionee, provided that the Company will pay the costs
and expenses of Company counsel.


         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed the day and year first above written.


                                       MICROTEL INTERNATIONAL. INC.
