of the Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with
Schedules 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) attached hereto.

      5. Trademark. The parties acknowledge that all right, title, and interest
in and to the CATAREX trademark, together with the associated business goodwill,
was assigned by Seller to BLS prior to the execution of the Agreement, and that
accordingly, no assignment of the CATAREX trademark is necessary to satisfy the
terms of the Agreement.

the performance of any obligations thereunder.

      6.    Governing Law.  This Amendment is governed by New York law
without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.

      7.    Execution in Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed
simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which is an original but
all of which together constitute one and the same instrument.
