Dear Tony:

     We are pleased that you have decided to continue your part time employment

1995, upon the terms set forth in the certain agreement dated August 24, 1994, 
between you and the Company, a copy of which is attached hereto (the 
"Agreement"). This letter amends the Agreement by substituting the date "July 
31, 1995" in paragraphs 2,3 and 8 of the Agreement with the date "November 30, 
1995". All other terms of the Agreement will remain in effect throughout the 
extended term of the Agreement. This amendment will be deemed effective July 31,
1995.

     If the above meets with your approval, please sign the enclosed copy and 
return it to me.

                                            Very truly yours,
