                                    DEFINITIONS

     SECTION 1.1    DEFINITIONS.  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment, to
the extent not otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meanings as in the
Purchase Agreement.

                                     ARTICLE II
                                          
                                     AGREEMENTS

     The Company and the Purchasers hereby agree as follows:

     SECTION 2.1    CONVERSION TO COMMON STOCK.

     (a)  The Purchasers shall not, during the period commencing on the date

     (b)  A Material Transaction shall mean (i) the occurrence of a Change of
Control of the Company, (ii) a transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company to any Person in a single transaction or series of related

another Person (other than a merger which does not result in any
reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock or in which the Company is the surviving entity, or which is
effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company).  A
Change of Control shall mean after the date of this Amendment and after giving
effect to the consummation of all transactions contemplated under the Marion
Agreement, any Person or group of Persons (within the meaning of Sections 13 and
14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission relating

Act) of 50.1% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

     (c)  The Principal Moratorium shall not apply and the Purchasers shall be
entitled, at their option, to convert all or any shares of Preferred Stock or
the principal amount of all or any of the Convertible Notes into shares of
Common Stock contemporaneous with or immediately preceding any Material
Transaction.

     (d)  The Principal Moratorium shall be subject to and conditioned upon
consummation of the Initial Marion Investment on the terms set forth in the
Marion Agreement, with the Company supplying to the Purchasers evidence thereof
reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers (which may include, at the request of
the Purchasers, a written certification from Marion to that effect).

     SECTION 2.2    ADDITIONAL COMMON STOCK; REGISTRATIONS.  

     (a)  Contemporaneous herewith, the Company shall issue 100,000 shares of
Common Stock (the "New Shares") to the Purchasers, allocated among the
Purchasers as set forth on SCHEDULE 1 hereto.  In addition, if the Company has
not exercised its voluntary redemption right set forth in Section 3.4 of the
Purchase Agreement and redeemed on or before the First Call Date all of the
Preferred Shares and repaid the entire sum due and owing on all of the
Convertible Notes in accordance with the terms thereof (the "Complete Redemption
Event"), then on July 1, 1998 the Company shall issue 200,000 shares of Common
Stock (the "Additional New Shares") to the Purchasers, allocated among the
Purchasers in the same ratios as the New Shares are allocated among the
Purchasers as set forth on SCHEDULE 1 hereto.

     (b)  The Company hereby covenants and agrees to include within the resale
registration statement to be filed by the Company on Form S-3 with the
Commission contemplated by the Marion Agreement (the "Marion Registration

date of this Amendment (including the New Shares and, to the extent legally
permissible, the Additional New Shares), (ii) issuable upon exercise of all
Warrants owned by the Purchasers as of the date of this Amendment, and (iii)
issued as dividends or interest on or before March 31, 1998 with respect to the
Preferred Shares and the Convertible Notes, in each case which have not
previously been registered for resale with the Commission pursuant to
Registration No. 333-40415 as declared effective by the Commission on November
21, 1997 (the "Existing Registration Statement").  The shares of Common Stock
owned by or issuable to the Purchasers which the parties  expect to be included
in the Marion Registration Statement are summarized on SCHEDULE 2 attached
hereto.

     (c)  On or before July 31, 1998 (the "Required Filing Date"), the Company
shall file an additional resale registration statement on Form S-3 with the
Commission (the "Additional Registration Statement") covering (i) any Additional
New Shares (if not included in the Marion Registration Statement) and (ii) any
shares of Common Stock issuable (x) upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and
Convertible Notes or (y) as dividends or interest thereon, not included in the
Existing Registration Statement or the Marion Registration Statement.  The
Required Filing Date, shall be extended until August 15, 1998 if, on or about
the Required Filing Date the Company provides written notice to the Purchasers
that the Company reasonably expects (based upon an executed letter of intent,
term sheet or similar document) to secure Qualified Equity Financing in an
amount sufficient to effect a Complete Redemption Event on or before August 15,
1998.

     (d)  The Company shall use its best lawful efforts to cause the Marion

     SECTION 2.3    PURCHASERS SALE RESTRICTIONS.  

     (a)  The Purchasers hereby agree that they shall not sell or otherwise
transfer (including any direct or indirect short sale) in any public resale

Limitation") any shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by them or acquired
by them under the terms of any of the Financing Documents prior to the earlier

the Company, Marion or any other party (the "Private Sale Right"); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, the transferee thereof must agree in writing to be bound by the Resale

Purchasers referring to the Resale Limitation, the Option Right and the Right of
First Refusal (as hereafter defined) (including a reference that the Resale
Limitation, Option Right and Right of First Refusal are binding upon any
transferee thereof).

     (c)  The Purchasers hereby grant to the Company an option (the "Option
Right"), exercisable by the Company or by Marion  (as the assignee thereof from

before March 31, 1999 to acquire all, but not less than all, of the shares of
Common Stock of the Company then owned by the Purchasers for a purchase price
equal to (x) if such exercise occurs on or before the First Call Date, $4.50 per

the greater of (i) $4.50 per share of Common Stock or (ii) the product of 90%
multiplied by the weighted average trading price as reported by Bloomberg, L.P.
for the Common Stock for the twenty (20) Trading Days ending on the date
immediately preceding the delivery of the Option Notice (the "Option Price"). 
Within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of the Option Notice, (x)

     SECTION 2.4    RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

     (a)  If prior to March 31, 1999 the Purchasers receive an offer from a
third party (a "Private Offer") to purchase any or all of the shares of Common
Stock then owned by the Purchasers, less any shares previously sold or
transferred by the Purchasers in compliance with the terms of this Amendment
(the "Remaining Shares"), and the Purchasers desire to accept such Private
Offer, the Purchasers shall promptly send via facsimile a Notice of Offer (as
hereafter defined) to the Company, offering to sell such Remaining Shares to the
Company in accordance with Section 2.4(b) below.  Such Notice of Offer shall be
irrevocable for a period of 24 hours from the receipt via facsimile of the
Notice of Offer by the Company.  The term "Notice of Offer" shall mean a
document setting forth the price and any other material terms and conditions of
the Private Offer, as well as the name and address of the third party offeror.

     (b)  Whenever a Private Offer to purchase the Remaining Shares has been
received by the Purchasers which the Purchasers desire to accept, and a Notice
of Offer thereof has been sent to the Company, the parties shall comply with the
following procedures.  For a period of 24 hours from its receipt of such Notice
of Offer via facsimile, the Company shall have the right, in its discretion,
without obligation, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Remaining
Shares so offered (the "Right of First Refusal") at a price equal to and on the
terms specified in the Notice of Offer.  If the Company elects to purchase all
of the Remaining Shares so offered, it must send written notice thereof to the
Purchasers within such 24 hour period.  Upon exercise by the Company of such
election, the Company shall purchase the Remaining Shares so offered effective
as of the date of delivery of the written notice to the Purchasers, with the
closing thereof occurring within three (3) Business Days thereafter.  If the
Company does not elect to purchase the Remaining Shares so offered within this
prescribed time period, the Purchasers shall have the right to sell (the "Sale
Option") the Remaining Shares subject to such Private Offer within three (3)
Business Days after the delivery of the Notice of Offer to the Company, with the
transferee taking such Remaining Shares subject to the terms of the Resale
Limitation and the Option Right.  Upon exercise of the Sale Option, the
Purchasers shall be required to consummate such sale at the same price set forth
in the Notice of Offer.  In the event such Sale Option is not fully consummated
within three (3) Business Days after the delivery of the Notice of Offer, the
provisions of this Section 2.4 must again be complied with by the Purchasers
prior to any disposition of the Remaining Shares prior to March 31, 1999.

     (c)  The Company may, at its option, assign the Right of First Refusal to
Marion.

     SECTION 2.5    INTEREST AND DIVIDEND PAYMENTS.  The Company shall on March
31, 1998, pay to the Purchasers in shares of Common Stock all accrued and unpaid
dividends through March 31, 1998 on the Preferred Stock and all accrued and
unpaid interest on the Convertible Notes through March 31, 1998.  Upon the

First Call Date, the Purchasers hereby agree to waive and forgive the obligation
of the Company to pay accrued dividends on the Preferred Shares and accrued

1998.

     SECTION 2.6    WARRANTS.

are hereby amended by changing the exercise price set forth therein from $4.00
per share to $3.25 per share. 

     (b)  The Existing Warrants (as such term is defined in the First Amendment)
(including the 30,000 Existing Warrants previously transferred to Alpine Capital
Partners) are hereby amended by changing the exercise price set forth therein

that no further amendment to the exercise price of the Existing Warrants (or
issuance of additional common stock purchase warrants), pursuant to the
Black-Scholes model or otherwise, is required in accordance with the exercise
price reset provisions contained in Schedule 1 to the Existing Warrants.

     SECTION 2.7    DEFINITION IN PURCHASE AGREEMENT.  


     (a)  Effective as of the date hereof, the definitions of "Equity Financing"
and "Qualified Equity Financing" in Section 1.1 of the Purchase Agreement are
amended to read in their entirety as follows:

          "Equity Financing" means a financing resulting in the receipt solely
     of cash proceeds by the Company consummated through the issuance of equity
     securities (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity
     securities) of the Company."

          "Qualified Equity Financing" means an Equity Financing (x) with Marion
     resulting in the receipt of $5,000,000 or less of gross cash proceeds by
     the Company consummated in accordance with the terms of the Marion
     Agreement (the "Retained Equity Proceeds") and (y) with Marion , 100% of
     the Net Cash Proceeds of which in excess of the Retained Equity Proceeds
     are used to repay the Convertible Notes and redeem the shares of Preferred
     Stock pursuant to Section 3.4 below."

     (b)  As specified in the First Amendment, the Retained Equity Proceeds may
be retained by the Company and not utilized to redeem a portion of the Preferred
Stock without causing a decrease in the Conversion Price to 50% of the lowest
Closing Bid Price during the 30 Trading Days immediately preceding the
consummation thereof, as contemplated therein.

          (d)  If the Prepayment Date is after the Second Call Date, the price
     to be paid by the Company to prepay the Convertible Instruments shall be
     the Formula Price. The "Formula Price" shall mean the greater of (I) the
     aggregate principal amount of the applicable Convertible Notes or the
