                                   AMENDMENT
                                       TO
                                LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Amendment to the License Agreement, dated January 28, 1999 by and between
Honeywell International Inc. (formerly AlliedSignal Inc), a Delaware corporation
acting through its Turbocharging Systems business unit having an address of
23326 Hawthorne boulevard, Suite 200, Torrance California 90505 ("Honeywell")
and Turbodyne Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation having an address of
6155 Carpinteria Avenue, Carpinteria, California 93103 and Turbodyne Systems,
Inc. a Nevada corporation its fully owned subsidiary (collectively "Turbodyne")

        assignment of intellectual property rights and rights to manufacture,
        market and sell products in the Turbopac product line (the "Turbopac

B.      The Turbopac Agreement includes the assignment of all right and title in
        and to all patents and patent applications (the "Patent Portfolio") of
        Turbodyne to Honeywell. The exclusive license to Honeywell granted by
        the License Agreement for patents and patent applications in existence

        assignment of the patents and patent applications previously licensed.

        Parties in the Turbopac Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and promises made
herein and in the Turbopac Agreement, in further consideration of the ongoing
License Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of

follows:

        1.(b) "Patent and Proprietary Rights" shall mean all proprietary rights
relating to the Technology (as hereinafter defined) and all rights under those
patents and patent applications and trademark rights identified in Exhibit A
attached hereto, and all patents and patent applications not included in Exhibit
A assigned to Honeywell by Turbodyne in the Turbopac Agreement and all patents
issuing from any such applications, all counterpart patents and patent
applications thereof now and hereafter filed and/or issuing in any country of
the world and all continuation, continuation in part and reissued patent
applications of any of the preceding and all patents issuing therefrom and all

Honeywell shall report to each other on a monthly basis all Improvements made

3.      Paragraph 2.(d) is amended to identify the elimination of the retention
of rights by Turbodyne in the Turbopac products and now reads as follows:

earned royalty for each Reporting Period. in an amount equal to the Net Sales of
Products (as defined in section 7 of the Joint Development Agreement) multiplied
by three and seven tenths percent (3.7%) for each Product applicable to the
Reporting Period in question.

        3 (b) Only one royalty shall be due with respect to any royalty bearing
Product regardless of whether such Product is covered by more than one claim

enforceable any patents of Turbodyne's for which Turbodyne has granted an
exclusive license to Allied Signal or which Turbodyne has assigned to Allied

Honeywell may designate. Honeywell shall have no obligations to maintain active
and enforceable any patents and/or patent applications for which it incurred any

7.      Paragraph 10(b) is amended to add "No termination under this License
Agreement shall affect, impact, annul, reverse or otherwise alter the assignment
of patents and patent applications by Turbodyne to Honeywell pursuant to the
Turbopac Agreement."

8.      Paragraph 17 (c) is amended to read as follows: "Unless this Agreement
is superseded by a joint venture negotiated pursuant to paragraph 17(b), Allied
Signal will conduct development of the Products pursuant to the Joint
Development Agreement and obtain a Production Commitment or Advancd Development
Program from a Third Party customer by July 1, 2001 or the License granted
herein for the Turbodyne Improvements will become non-exclusive, at Turbodyne's
option. If Allied Signal is unable to obtain a Production Commitment by January
1, 2002, Honeywell will grant to Turbodyne a nonexclusive license under the
assigned Patent Portfolio with right to sublicense for Turbodyne's continued
development and sale of the Dynacharger and Turbopac products. If the License
granted pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) becomes non-exclusive by operation of this
paragraph 17(c), the royalty rates defined in paragraph 3(a) shall be reduced by
one-half percent (.5%). Allied Signal will conduct development of the Turbopac
products and honor existing supply and distributor agreements pursuant to the
Joint Development Agreement, pursuing after market and/or OEM customers and
obtain supply commitments by January 1, 2002. If Allied Signal is unable to
obtain supply commitments by January 1, 2003, Allied Signal will grant Turbodyne
an exclusive license to pursue sales of Turbopac products and Turbodyne's

will pay to Honeywell a royalty of 2% of net profits on sales of Turbopac
products by Turbodyne." All terms and provisions of the License Agreement not
specifically modified or amended herein shall remain in full force and effect.
