         Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act")) immediately after
         which such Person has "Beneficial Ownership" (within the meaning of
         Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of a majority or more of the
         combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding Voting
         Securities; provided, however, that in determining whether a Change in
         Control has occurred, Voting Securities which are acquired in a
         "Non-Control Acquisition" (as hereinafter defined) or the acquisition
         of voting securities by a Person who, immediately prior to such
         acquisition, had Beneficial Ownership of 20% or more of the combined
         voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities shall
         not constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change in Control. A
         "Non-Control Acquisition" shall mean an acquisition by (1) an employee
         benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (x) the
         Company, or (y) any corporation or other Person of which a majority of
         its voting power or its equity securities or equity interest is owned
         directly or indirectly by the Company (a "Subsidiary"), (2) the Company
         or any Subsidiary, or (3) any Person in connection with a "Non-Control
         Transaction" (as hereinafter defined).

         (ii) Approval by a majority of the stockholders of the Company of:

                  (A) A merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the
                  Company, unless

                  (1) the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such
                  merger, consolidation or reorganization, own, directly or
                  indirectly, immediately following such merger, consolidation
                  or reorganization, at least a majority of the combined voting
                  power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation
                  resulting from such merger or consolidation or reorganization
                  (the "Surviving Corporation") in substantially the same
                  proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities
                  immediately before such merger, consolidation or
                  reorganization, and

                  (2) the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board
                  immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing
                  for such merger, consolidation or reorganization constitute at
                  least majority of the members of the board of directors of the
                  Surviving Corporation.

                  (A transaction described in clauses (1) and (2) shall herein
                  be referred to as a "Non-Control Transaction."); or

                  (B) An agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or
                  substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person
                  (other than a transfer to a Subsidiary).

         Notwithstanding anything contained in this Amendment to the contrary,
         if the Executive's employment is terminated within ninety (90) days
         prior to a Change in Control and the Executive demonstrates that such
         termination (A) was at the request of a third party who has indicated
         an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in
         Control (a "Third Party"), or (B) otherwise occurred in connection
         with, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control, then for all purposes
         of this Amendment, the date of a Change in Control with respect to the
         Executive shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such
         termination of the Executive's employment.

2. Vesting of Options. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs, 100% of all
options to purchase stock of the Company previously granted by the Company to
Executive which are not yet vested at the date of the Change in Control shall
immediate vest and be fully exercisable as of such date. However, no such
options shall vest after the last date of employment with the Company.

3. Except as modified by this Amendment, the terms of the Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the
date first above written.
