Dear Jim:

The Consultant Agreement dated March 16, 1999, ("Agreement") as amended on March

1.    Sections 1 and 2 are amended to read as follows:

      "1. Retention. The Company retains the Consultant as an advisor of the
      Company to provide on call consulting services at times mutually agreeable
      to Consultant and Company (the "Consulting Services") for the period (the
      "Consulting Period") commencing on April 1, 2000 and terminating on March
      31, 2002. The Consultant accepts such engagement and agrees to provide the
      Consulting Services, in connection with the operation of the Company's

      "2. Compensation. As full and complete compensation for the Consulting
      Services for the Consulting Period the Company shall pay and the
      Consultant accepts as full and complete compensation 300,000 shares of the
      Company's Common Stock ("Shares") in accordance with Section 15.

2.    Section 15 is added to the Agreement:

      "15(a) Shares Issuance. Consultant covenants and agrees that the Shares of
      the Company's Common Stock which Consultant is acquiring pursuant to this
      Agreement are being acquired by Consultant, for his own account for
      investment only and not with a view to the distribution of all or any part
      thereof, as the phrases "investment only" and "distribution" have meaning
      under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act"), or for the sale
      in connection with any distribution, and that such Shares will not be
      transferred except in accordance with the registration requirements of the
      Act or as applicable. Consultant understand that under existing law (I)
      all of the Shares may be required to be held indefinitely, unless a
      Registration Statement is effective and current with respect to the Shares
      under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available, (ii)
      any sales of the Shares in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under the
      Act may be made only in amounts in accordance with the terms and
      conditions of the Rule, and (iii) in the case of securities to which that
      Rule is not applicable and which are not registered, compliance with
      Regulations promulgated under the Act or some other disclosure exemption
      will be required. The Shares will be authorized but unissued shares of the
      Common Stock, $.001 par value

THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE MADE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
