         Background.  On May  18,  2000,  the  Board  of  Directors  recommended

Directors on July 27, 2000.

         In accordance  with the  foregoing,  the Plan is hereby  amended as set
forth below:

         Paragraphs  2(1) is  deleted  in its  entirety  and  replaced  with the
following:

            "Fair  Market  Value"  means the  closing  price of the Common
            Stock on the  date the  Award  is  granted,  as such  price is
            reported by The Nasdaq Stock  Market,  other  over-the-counter

            shall be determinative.

         This  Amendment was duly adopted and approved by a vote of the Board of
Directors of the Company on July 27, 2000.
