the terms and  conditions  of the Plan and this Option.  This Option may only be

a permitted transfer of this Option, the transferee shall have all of the rights
of the Optionee under the Plan and this Option,  as if the Optionee had retained
this  Option.  The terms of this  Option  shall be  binding  upon the  permitted
transferees, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Optionee.

          B. An Exhibit 1, attached to this Amendment, is hereby made an exhibit
to and a part of the Agreements.

          IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  each of the  undersigned  has duly executed this
Amendment as of the date first set forth above.
