B.        The parties desire to adjust the Purchase Price, extend the Inspection
     Period and otherwise modify the Agreement as hereinafter set forth (all
     capitalized terms otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to them
     in the Agreement).

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.        Section 2.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to provide that the
     Purchase Price for the Property shall be Fifteen Million and No/100 Dollars

     Closing Date shall be December 23, 1998, or such earlier date as Purchaser
