7.      Conditions of the Offer


    A.  The term "significant decrease in the market price of our common stock"
in paragraph (5) under "The Offer - Conditions of the Offer" is replaced with
the term "material decrease in the market price of our common stock".


    B.  The last paragraph under "The Offer - Conditions of the Offer" is hereby
amended to read as follows:



           The conditions to the offer are for our benefit. We may assert them
           in our discretion regardless of the circumstances giving rise to them
           prior to the Expiration Date. Satisfaction of a condition, once
           raised regardless of the circumstances, remains based upon objective
           criteria beyond our control. We may waive them, in whole or in part,
           at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Date, in
           our discretion, whether or not we waive any other condition to the
           offer. Our failure at any time to exercise any of these rights will
           not be deemed a waiver of any such rights. The waiver of any of these
           rights with respect to particular facts and circumstances will not be
           deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances.
           Any determination we make concerning the events described in this
           Section 7 will be final and binding upon all persons.


10.     Source and Amount of Funds.
