               The consideration to be paid by Buyer, whether at Closing or

U.S. Holdings, Inc. to exercise, in respect of the Cash Advance and the Negative

               2001 and (ii) the fulfillment of all of the conditions to the

               agreement, in writing may select another place, time or date
               following July 15, 2001 for the Closing to occur (the

               Buyer, the Seller Parties shall cause to be prepared for filing

               complete the DOC Forms;

        9.     LEGAL FEES. Clause (iv) of Section 2.1(b)(i) of the Asset

               (b) if the Buyer shall have satisfied all of its conditions as

               contemplated by this Agreement to take place at the Closing shall
               not have been consummated by the close of business on July 15,
               2001 but only if the failure of the Parties to close the
               transactions contemplated hereby on the Closing Date solely
               relates to the failure by any of the Seller Parties to satisfy
               the conditions specified in Section 8.1;

        11.    OPERATIONAL PERIOD. Section 14.1(d) of the Asset Purchase

               respective conditions as specified in Section 8.1, then by Seller
               Parties if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to
               take place at the Closing shall not have been consummated by the
               close of business on July 15, 2001 but only if the failure of the
               Parties to close the transactions contemplated hereby on the
               Closing Date solely relates to Buyer's failure to satisfy the
               conditions specified in Section 8.2;

                       (ii) The Buyer agrees to pay to the Sellers at Closing an
               estimate (the "Estimate") of the negative net cash flow of the
               Business (the "Negative Cash Flow") for the period from June 1,



                                        4

               2001 to the earlier to occur of the Closing or July 15, 2001 (the
               "Operational Period"). The Buyer has advanced to the Sellers, as
               of the date of the Amendment, Three Hundred Fifty Thousand
               Dollars ($350,000) (the "Negative Cash Flow Advance") against the
               Estimate of the Negative Cash Flow. At or prior to Closing,
               Gerald Katzoff, on behalf of the Seller Parties, shall cause to
               be delivered to the Buyer a detailed statement of cash flows of
               the Sellers for the Operational Period (the "Estimated
               Operational Period Financial Statement") which estimate shall be
               attached as an Exhibit to the Closing Statement. Within sixty
               (60) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and
               deliver to Gerald Katzoff, on behalf of the Seller Parties, a
               determination (the "Operational Period Financial Determination")
               of the actual amount of the Negative Cash Flow (which actual
               amount is referred to herein as the "Preliminary Negative Cash
               Flow Amount"), including the basis for such Operational Period
               Financial Determination set forth in reasonable detail, prepared
               in accordance with GAAP. If, within thirty (30) days after the
               date on which the Operational Period Financial Determination is
               delivered to Gerald Katzoff, he shall not have given written
               notice to the Buyer setting forth in reasonable detail any
               objection of the Seller Parties to such Operational Period
               Financial Determination, then such Operational Period Financial
               Determination shall be final and binding upon the Parties and the
               Preliminary Negative Cash Flow Amount shall be deemed the "Final
               Negative Cash Flow Amount". In the event that Gerald Katzoff, on
               behalf of the Seller Parties, gives written notice of any
               objection to such Operational Period Financial Determination
               within such 30-day period, then the Buyer and Gerald Katzoff,
               shall use all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute within
               thirty (30) business days following the receipt by the Buyer of
               such written notice from Gerald Katzoff. If the Parties are
               unable to reach an agreement as to the Final Negative Cash Flow
               Amount within such 30-day period, the matter shall be submitted
               to the Settlement Accountant for determination of the Final
               Negative Cash Flow Amount to be made within 45 days after
               submission, and the determination of the Settlement Accountant
               shall be final and binding upon the Buyer and the Seller Parties.
               The Buyer and the Seller Parties shall contribute equally to all
               costs (including fees and expenses charged by the Settlement
               Accountant) in connection with the resolution of any such
               dispute. If the Final Negative Cash Flow Amount is lower than the
               Negative Cash Flow paid to the Sellers at Closing then such
               amount shall be deemed to be Indemnifiable Damages under Article
               X hereof and the Buyer may set off against and recoup from any
               Cash Holdback Amount the difference between the Final Negative
               Cash Flow Amount and the Negative Cash Flow paid to the Sellers
               at


                                        5

               Closing or take any other action or exercise any other remedy
               available to it by appropriate legal proceedings to recover such
               amount. If the Final Negative Cash Flow Amount is higher than the
               Negative Cash Flow paid to the Sellers at Closing, then such
               amount shall be paid by the Buyer to the Sellers within thirty
               (30) days of the determination of the Final Negative Cash Flow
               Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above,
               the calculation of Negative Cash Flow (i) shall not take into
               account any expenses incurred as a result of an Extraordinary
               Cause (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) shall take into account
               any revenue that otherwise would have been generated (as measured
               by the prior operation(s) of such spa(s)) but for such
               Extraordinary Cause. "Extraordinary Cause" shall mean any or all
               of the following: (i) a breach by any of the Seller Parties of
               the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, (ii) an event of Force
               Majeure that occurs during the Operational Period or (iii) the
               gross negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct of any
               of the Seller Parties during the Operational Period that
               adversely affects the Business.

                       (iii) From and after the Closing Date, and for the
               purpose of enabling the Buyer to prepare the Operational Period
               Financial Determination or any other determinations contemplated
               by clause (ii) above, the Seller Parties will, and the Seller
               Parties will cause the Company to, (a) afford to the
               Representatives of the Buyer, at reasonable times, reasonable
               access to the key employees, sites, properties, books and records
               of each of the Sellers and the Company, (b) provide the Buyer
               with such additional financial and operating data and other
               information relating to the business and properties of each of
               the Sellers and the Company as the Buyer may from time to time
               reasonably request and (c) cooperate with the Buyer and its
               Representatives in the preparation of the Operational Period
               Financial Determination or any other determinations contemplated
               by clause (ii) above.

        12.    CURRENT BALANCE SHEET. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement and except as otherwise provided
below, (i) all references in the Asset Purchase Agreement to the "Current
Balance Sheet" shall mean the balance sheet of each of the Operational Sellers
and the Company dated as of April 30, 2001 and attached as Exhibit 11 to this
Amendment and (ii) all references in the Asset Purchase Agreement to the
"Current Balance Sheet Date" shall mean April 30, 2001; provided, however, that
with respect to the penultimate sentence of Section 4.18 and Sections 4.26(a)
and 4.28 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the definition of "Current Balance
Sheet" and "Current Balance Sheet Date" shall mean (i) the balance sheet of each
of the Operational Sellers and the Company dated as of March 31, 2001 and
included in the Financial Statements attached as Schedule 4.33 to the Asset
Purchase Agreement and (ii) March 31, 2001, respectively.

        13. DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. Section 15.12 of the Asset Purchase Agreement
and Schedule 15.12 attached thereto shall be amended, to the extent necessary,
to provide that, upon the written approval of Buyer, the amounts set forth on
Schedule 15.12 will be increased during the Operational Period so as to continue
the build-out of the Newtown, Pennsylvania and Birmingham, Alabama spas in
accordance with Section 15.12 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
