    days after the completion of the Due Diligence Period (as herein defined),
    deliver to the Escrow Agent an additional sum of One Hundred Thousand and
    No/100 ($100,000.00) Dollars (the "Second Deposit")."

and the following shall be inserted in its place:

    "In the event the Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement in accordance
    with Section 5 of this Agreement, Purchaser shall on or before September 30,
    1996 at 5:00 p.m. (Miami, Florida time), deliver to the Escrow Agent an
    additional sum of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 ($100,000.00) Dollars
    (the "second Deposit")."

    3.  All capitalized terms as provided for in this Second Amendment shall be
deemed defined terms and shall have the meaning as defined in the Agreement
unless otherwise defined in this Second Amendment.

    4.  The Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and binding upon
the parties hereto as is set forth in the Agreement and the First Amendment,
except as modified by this Second Amendment.

    5.  This Second Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

                                         -2-
