Attn: Michael Altro, President

Dear Mr. Altro:

Because of unanticipated delays caused by engineering problems
experienced in modifying the spring and sprinkler head system of the
Flame Tame and the necessity of developing a new electrical system
for the Flame Tame, we have agreed to modify the Agreement dated
January 9, 2003 to the extent that you are to commence production on
or before July 1, 2003 rather than on March 1, 2003 as set forth in
said Agreement.

All other terms, conditions and provisions of the Agreement dated
January 9, 2003 are to remain in full force and effect without
modification.

If this letter correctly sets forth our understanding, execute the
duplicate original and return same to our office.

                                       Sincerely,

                                      /s/  Morton Berger
                                      Morton Berger
                                      President

Agreed and consented to the day and year
First above written.
