       The Board of Directors of the Company has proposed an amendment to
Article FOURTH of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation ("Certificate of Incorporation") to effectuate a 1-for-__ reverse
stock split ("Reverse Split") of the Common Stock whereby each __ shares of
issued and outstanding Common Stock will be changed into one share of Common
Stock. See "Proposal No. 1 - Reverse Split of Common Stock" below for a more
complete description of the proposed amendment and the reasons therefor.


                                       3


   5
       The General Corporation Law of Delaware requires that amendments to a
corporation's certificate of incorporation be approved by stockholders entitled
to vote thereon, as well as the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Company is
hereby soliciting consent from the holders of its Common Stock to Proposal No.
1. Proposal No. 1 requires the consent of persons holding not less than a
majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock on the Record Date.

Solicitation, Voting and Revocability of Consents

       As of the Record Date, an aggregate of 47,783,433 shares of Common Stock
were issued and outstanding. Only holders of record of Common Stock as of the
close of business on the Record Date are entitled to consent to Proposal No. 1.
Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on Proposal No. 1. The shares
of Common Stock for which properly executed Consents in the accompanying form
are received will, if no contrary instruction is received, be deemed submitted
FOR Proposal No. 1.

       SECTION 228(C) OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF DELAWARE REQUIRES THAT
EACH CONSENT HAVE A DATED SIGNATURE OF EACH STOCKHOLDER WHO SIGNS THE CONSENT.
AN UNDATED CONSENT CANNOT BE USED. In addition, under Section 228(c), none of
the Consents will be effective to approve Proposal No. 1 unless Consents from
holders of record on the Record Date owning the minimum number of shares
required to approve such proposal have been received within the 60 day period
following the first dated Consent which is received (the "Consent Solicitation
Period"). The Consent card provided may be executed by the record holder or
pursuant to authority given by the written proxy of any record holder.

       Any Consent given pursuant to this solicitation is considered revocable
by the person giving it at any time before it is used by the Company. If, prior
to the earlier of the date on which the Company has received Consents from
persons holding the minimum number of shares of Common Stock required to approve
Proposal No. 1 or the end of the Consent Solicitation Period, the Company
receives a written notice of revocation of a Consent or receives a duly executed
Consent bearing a later date, any earlier dated consent will be revoked.


                                       4


   6
       The Company will bear the cost of the solicitation of Consents by the
Board of Directors. The Company may use the services of its executive officers
and certain Directors to solicit consents from stockholders in person and by
mail, telephone and facsimile. Arrangements may also be made with brokers,
fiduciaries, custodians and nominees to send Consent cards, Consent Solicitation
Statements and other material to the beneficial owners of the Company's Common
Stock held of record by such persons, and the Company may reimburse them for
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in so doing.

                         REVERSE SPLIT OF COMMON STOCK

General

       The Board of Directors has unanimously approved, and recommended
stockholder approval of, an amendment to Article FOURTH of the Certificate of
Incorporation that will effect the Reverse Split. The text of the amendment is
set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. The amendment, if adopted, will be
effected through the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware. Such filing shall be made on such date as the
Board, in its sole discretion, determines (but in any event not later than
September 30, 1998) and will be effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on the date
of filing.

       As a result of the Reverse Split, the number of shares of Common Stock
held by each stockholder at the effective time of the Reverse Split will be
automatically converted into the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock owned immediately prior to the Reverse
Split divided by __. In addition, shares of Common Stock that are reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, and the
respective exercise price per share, would be adjusted pursuant to the Reverse
Split, such that the number of shares would be decreased and the exercise price
would be increased accordingly.

       Notwithstanding receipt of Consents sufficient to approve the Reverse
Split, if, for any reason, the Board of Directors deems it advisable to do so,
the Company may abandon the Reverse Split at any time prior to the filing with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Certificate of Amendment
effecting the Reverse Split without further action by the stockholders of the
Company.

Reasons for Proposal

       The Company's Common Stock has been continuously listed on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market since December 20, 1994. From October 1992 until that date, the
Common Stock had been listed on the Nasdaq Electronic Bulletin Board. Since
August 1997, the Common Stock has consistently traded on the SmallCap Market
below $1.00. The Nasdaq Stock Market requires, as a condition to continued
listing of securities on the SmallCap Market, that (among other things) the
listed securities trade at or above a bid price of $1.00 per share. Until
recently, however, securities which did not meet this minimum bid price


                                       8
   10
requirement could nevertheless continue to be listed on the SmallCap Market so
long as the value of the public float (defined as the value of those shares
owned by persons other than the issuer's executive officers, directors and 10%
stockholders) exceeded $1,000,000. Since the value of the Company's public float
has at all times after commencement of trading on the SmallCap Market exceeded
$1,000,000, the Common Stock has continued to be listed on the SmallCap Market
based on the alternative criteria. However, under new rules adopted by Nasdaq
which became effective on February 23, 1998, the public float value, as an
alternative to the minimum $1.00 bid price for continued listing, has been
eliminated. The Company has been advised by Nasdaq that, because the closing bid
price of the Common Stock was below $1.00 for the 30 consecutive trading days
preceding February 23, 1998, the Common Stock will be subject to delisting
unless the closing bid price equals or exceeds $1.00 per share for a period of
ten consecutive trading days ending on or before May 28, 1998. The closing bid
price of the Common Stocks on the Record Date, as reported by the SmallCap
Market, was $_______. It is anticipated that the Reverse Split will cause the
market price of the Common Stock to increase to a price in excess of the $1.00
minimum bid price required for continued listing on the SmallCap Market,
although there is no assurance that the increase in the market price following
effectiveness of the Reverse Split will be in direct proportion to the 1:__
ratio of the Reverse Split.

         The Board believes that the continued listing of the Common Stock on
the SmallCap Market is important for the marketability of the Common Stock and
the prestige of the Company in the financial community. If the Reverse Split is
not implemented, the Common Stock, in all likelihood, will be delisted from the
SmallCap Market. If the Common Stock is delisted, the Common Stock will likely
be quoted in the "pink sheets" maintained by National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or
on the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board (if the Common Stock is listed thereon).
In such event, the spread between the bid and asked prices of a share of Common
Stock is likely to be greater than at present and stockholders may experience a
greater degree of difficulty in engaging in trading of shares of Common Stock.

         Notwithstanding effectuation of the Reverse Split, if approved, there
is no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with the standards for
continued listing of securities on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market for any extended
period. For instance, if the Company fails to file on a timely basis reports
required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") the Common Stock would be subject to delisting. (For further
information with respect to the Company's failure to file its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 and Nasdaq's commencement of
delisting proceedings as a result thereof, see "Pending Delisting Proceedings
Resulting from Failure to File 1997 Form 10-K" below). Furthermore, if the
closing bid price of the Common Stock were to decline below $1.00 for a
consecutive 30-day period subsequent to effectiveness of the Reverse Split, the
Common Stock would again be subject to delisting. In addition, if the Company
were unable to comply with the other requirements for continued listing of
securities on the SmallCap Market (including, but not limited to, having net
tangible assets of at least $2,000,000), the Common Stock would also be subject
to delisting.

         Apart from addressing the Company's desire to maintain listing of the
Common Stock on the SmallCap Market, the Reverse Split will also have the added
benefit of rectifying the existing shortage of authorized and unissued shares of
Common Stock which are needed to satisfy the future conversion of currently
issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, par value $.01 per share ("Series A Preferred Stock"). During November
and December 1996, the Company completed a private placement of an aggregate of
14,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in which gross proceeds of $14 million
were raised. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock, by its terms, is
convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal $1,000
divided by a conversion rate ("Conversion Rate") equal to the lesser of (ii)
$17.50 and (ii) 75% of the average of the closing bid prices of a share of
Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq SmallCap Market for the five trading days
prior to the date that the holder's notice of conversion and certificates for
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted are received by the
Company. Through the Record Date, an aggregate of 45,099,336 shares of Common
Stock were issued upon conversion of approximately 11,174 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock. Based upon on assumed Conversion Rate of $_____ (i.e., 75% of
the average of the closing bid prices of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market during the five trading days ending on the Record Date), the Company
would be obligated to issue up to an additional __________ shares of Common
Stock upon conversion of the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued
and outstanding. The Company is presently authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares
of Common Stock. As of the Record Date, the Company had 47,783,433 shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding; an additional 1,723,395 shares are reserved
for issuance under options, warrants and other rights to purchase Common Stock.
In view of the number of shares of Common Stock that are presently issued and
outstanding and reserved for issuance, the Company, under the provisions of its
Certificate of Incorporation, does not have a sufficient number of authorized
and unissued shares of Common Stock to issue upon future conversions of the
issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. As a result, the Company has
been advising holders of Series A Preferred Stock who have requested conversion
of their shares that it cannot legally comply with these requests.

         The Reverse Split will eliminate this problem. The Company estimates
that, because the Reverse Split will reduce the issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company to approximately _______, there will be
approximately 49,000,000 unreserved shares of Common Stock available following
the Reverse Split for future issuances, including conversion of the remaining
Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Company should have a sufficient
number of authorized but unissued shares following the Reverse Split to satisfy
all future conversions.

Pending Delisting Proceedings Resulting
from Failure to File 1997 Form 10-K

         The Reverse Split is being proposed, in part, to address the $1.00
minimum bid requirement for continued listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market. However, as mentioned above, there are a number of other
requirements for continued listing of Common Stock on Nasdaq, including a
requirement that the issuer file on a timely basis with the Commission all
reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The Company has, as of the date hereof, not filed its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 (the "1997 Form 10-K"). The 1997
Form 10-K was required to be filed with the Commission by no later than April
15, 1998. As a result of the Company's failure to file the 1997 Form 10-K on a
timely basis, Nasdaq notified the Company by letter dated April 17, 1998 that it
was commencing delisting proceedings with respect to the Common Stock. Upon
receipt of such notification, the Company requested (as is permitted under
Nasdaq rules) that Nasdaq conduct a hearing at which the proposed delisting
would be reviewed. The hearing is scheduled for May 14, 1998. Pending a decision
following the hearing, the Common Stock will continue to be listed on the
SmallCap Market.

         The inability of the Company to file the 1997 Form 10-K has been caused
by a delay in the Company engaging new independent auditors who will audit the
Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. The Company
anticipates that it will engage new auditors shortly and that the audit of the
1997 financial statements will be completed by no later than June __, 1998. The
Company will file the 1997 Form 10-K as promptly as practicable following
completion of the audit. However, there is no assurance that Nasdaq will give
the Company additional time to file the 1997 Form 10-K (as well as the Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 (the "March 31, 1998
Form 10-Q"), which is required to be filed with the Commission on or before May
15, 1998 but which will not be filed by the Company until the 1997 Form 10-K is
filed) in order to maintain listing of the Common Stock or that, if given
additional time to file the 1997 Form 10-K (and March 31, 1998 Form 10-Q), the
Company will be able to make such filings within the additional time allotted.
In the event the Company is not given additional time to make such filings, or
is unable to make such filings within any additional time allotted, the Common
Stock will be delisted from the SmallCap Market, notwithstanding approval and
effectuation of the Reverse Split. In the event the Common Stock is delisted
from the SmallCap Market as a result of the pending delisting proceedings prior
to effectuation of the Reverse Split, the Company nevertheless intends to
proceed with seeking approval of the Reverse Split and, if it is approved, its
effectuation.


Treatment of Fractional Shares

         No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock
will be issued to stockholders because of the Reverse Split. Rather, each
stockholder who would otherwise receive a fractional share of Common Stock as a
result of the Reverse Split will receive, in lieu of such fractional share
interest, an amount of cash equal to the average of the closing bid prices of
the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (or, if the Common Stock has been
delisted from the SmallCap Market prior to effectuation of the Reverse Split,
the average of the daily bid prices quoted either on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin
Board if the Common Stock is quoted thereon following delisting from the
SmallCap Market, or by National Quotation Bureau) for the five trading days
immediately prior to, and including, the effective date of the Reverse Split
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holder that
would otherwise have been exchanged for each fractional share.

Effects on Percentage Ownership of Common Stock;
Potential Dilution Resulting From Other Possible Issuances

         The Reverse Split will not, in and of itself, affect the percentage
ownership interest of any holder of Common Stock in the Company, except for
minor differences resulting from fractional shares.

However, because holders of Series A Preferred Stock would, following the
Reverse Split, again be entitled to convert their shares of Series A Preferred
Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of
Designations applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock, existing holders of
Common Stock are likely to experience substantial dilution as a result thereof.
As is currently the case, the Conversion Rate following the Reverse Split would
be determined by dividing $1,000 by 75% of the average of the closing bid prices
of the common stock for the five trading days prior to the date of conversion
(the "Post-Split Five Day Average Price"). The following table illustrates the
number of additional shares of Common Stock that would potentially be issuable
to the holders of the remaining Series A Preferred Stock at various Post-Split
Five Day Average Prices following the Reverse Split:



If Post-Split
Five Day                       Shares of Common Stock (on a post-Reverse Split basis)
Average Price is:              issuable to holders of Series A Preferred Stock
                                

     $8.00                                    470,948

     $7.00                                    538,227

     $6.00                                    627,931

     $5.00                                    753,518

     $4.00                                    941,897

     $3.00                                  1,255,863

     $2.00                                  1,883,795

     $1.00                                  3,767,590

     $ .50                                  7,535,181     


         Furthermore, the Company may be obligated to issue additional shares
of Common Stock to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock under the terms of
the Certificate of Designations applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock, and
a registration rights agreement entered into by the Company and the individual
purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock. Pursuant to those documents, the
Company agreed that it would use its best efforts to file with, and have
declared effective by, the Commission a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with respect to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock (the "Conversion Shares") within 120 days of receipt of a demand notice
from the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
outstanding. Under the Certificate of Designations, in the event the
registration statement was not declared effective within such 120 day period,
the then applicable Conversion Rate would be reduced by multiplying the five day
average price by 65% rather than 75%. In addition, for each 30 day period beyond
the 120-day period that the registration statement was not declared effective,
the percentage multiplier applicable in determining the Conversion Rate was
subject to a further reduction of 2%, up to an aggregate of 12%.

         The Company filed a registration statement relating to the Conversion
Shares in December 1996, but withdrew the registration statement in February
1997. The Company subsequently filed a new registration statement in April 1997
relating to the Conversion Shares, which was declared effective by the
Commission on July 23, 1997. In October 1997, the Company notified holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock that it was suspending further sales of Conversion
Shares pursuant to the registration statement pending the preparation and filing
by the Company of a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that
includes current information relating to the acquisition by the Company of
Physicians Clinical Laboratory, Inc., which was effective on October 3, 1997. As
of the date hereof, no post-effective amendment to the registration statement
has been filed.

         The Company believes that the filing of both the December 1996 and
April 1997 registration statements was made without having a requisite demand
made upon it and, accordingly, that no adjustment to the Conversion Rate is
required.

         Two entities holding an aggregate of 900 shares of the issued and 
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock have commenced an action against the
Company, its President and Chief Executive Officer and a director in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Gorra Holding and
Barras Investment v. Nu-Tech Bio-Med, Inc. et al., 98 Civ. 764) seeking damages
arising out of the alleged failure of the Company to meet certain obligations to
register the Conversion Shares. Although the Company believes that it has
satisfied its obligations to register the Conversion Shares in all material
respects, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this action
or in any other proceeding which may be brought by other holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock.

         Although sales of Conversion Shares may not currently be made pursuant
to any registration statement, holders of Conversion Shares may be entitled to
sell such shares publicly pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act ("Rule 144"). Under Rule 144, holders of Conversion Shares may sell, during
any three month period prior to the second anniversary of the sale of the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock which were converted into such Conversion Shares,
the greater of 1% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding and the average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market for the four full calendar weeks preceding the date of
sale. Commencing on the second anniversary of the date of sale of the Series A
Preferred Stock, holders who are not affiliates of the Company may sell
Conversion Shares without being subject to any volume limitation. However, in
order for a holder of Conversion Shares to sell any such shares pursuant to Rule
144 prior to the second anniversary of the date of sale of the Series A
Preferred Stock to which such Conversion Shares relate, the Company must be
current in its filings with the Commission. As noted above, the Company is not
current in its filings at this time because of its failure to file the 1997 Form
10-K. Consequently, the Company will not honor attempted sales of Conversion
Shares pursuant to Rule 144 until such time as the 1997 Form 10-K (as well as
the March 31, 1998 Form 10-Q) is filed with the Commission.
         
         In addition to the potential issuance of additional shares of Common
Stock as a result of conversion of Series A Preferred Stock following the
Reverse Split, the Company may issue additional shares of Common Stock as a
result of a price adjustment provision relating to the purchase, effective
October 21, 1996, of the assets of Prompt Medical Billing, Inc. ("Prompt
Medical"), the Company's billing subsidiary. Pursuant to the purchase agreement
with the seller of Prompt Medical, a portion of the consideration paid consisted
of 37,504 shares of restricted Common Stock. However, the agreement requires the
Company, in the event 


                                       11
   13
the market value of those shares is less than $500,000 on October 21, 1998,
either to (i) issue such number of additional shares of Common Stock as may be
required to increase the fair market value of the total number of shares
delivered to the seller to $500,000 or (ii) pay additional cash consideration in
an amount equal to the difference between $500,000 and the fair market value of
the 37,504 shares (which number of shares shall be adjusted for the Reverse
Split, if it is effectuated) on October 21, 1998. The fair market value of the
37,504 shares of Common Stock, based on the closing bid price of the Common
Stock on the Record Date, is $_______. Management is unable to predict at this
time whether the Company, if the fair market value of the 37,504 shares issued
to the seller is less than $500,000 on October 21, 1998, will satisfy its
obligation through the delivery of additional shares of Common Stock or payment
of cash. In the event the Company elects to satisfy its obligation through the
issuance of additional shares, the percentage ownership of each holder of Common
Stock at the time will be further diluted.

Other Effects of Reverse Split

         The Company has previously issued, and has outstanding, various
options, warrants and rights to purchase an aggregate of 1,723,395 shares of its
Common Stock. If the Reverse Split is implemented, both the exercise price per
share and the number of shares subject to each option, warrant and right will be
appropriately adjusted. All of the outstanding options, warrants and rights are
currently substantially "out-of-the-money".  The Company has agreed to issue,
following effectiveness of the Reverse Split, to a person who loaned the Company
$250,000 in March 1998 warrants to purchase 44,000 shares of Common Stock
(stated on a post-Reverse Split basis) at an exercise price equal to the closing
bid price of the Common Stock on the first business day following effectiveness
of the Reverse Split. In addition, the Company has agreed to reduce the exercise
prices of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock
held by certain persons related to the lenders (or 2,000 shares, stated on a
post-Reverse Split basis) to the same price.

         The Reverse Split is likely to result in some stockholders owning
"odd-lots" of less than 100 shares of Common Stock. Brokerage commissions and
other costs of transactions in odd-lots are generally somewhat higher than the
costs of transaction on "round-lots" of even multiples of 100 shares.

         Although the number of record holders of the Common Stock as of the
close of business on the Record Date was __________, the Company estimates that
the number of beneficial owners of the Common Stock is approximately _______.
The Company does not anticipate that the Reverse Split will result in a
significant reduction in the number of beneficial owners. One of the
requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market is that there be at least 300 beneficial owners of 100 or more shares of
Common 


                                       12


   14
Stock. Although the Reverse Split is not expected to effect the Company's
ability to comply with the beneficial owner requirement for continued listing on
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, there can be no assurance that this will be the
case.

         Stockholders have no right under Delaware law or under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws to dissent to the Reverse Split.

         There will be no change to the number of shares of authorized Preferred
Stock, par value $.01 per share, in connection with the Reverse Split. There are
currently 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized. 

Federal Income Tax Consequences

         The following description of federal income tax consequences is for
general information only and does not address foreign, state or local tax
consequences that may be relevant to a particular stockholder. Accordingly, each
stockholder is urged to consult his or her own tax adviser to determine the
particular consequences to such stockholder of the Reverse Split.

         The Reverse Split should not result in the recognition of gain or loss
(except with respect to cash received for fractional shares as described below).
The holding period of the shares of post-Reverse Split Common Stock will include
the holding period for the shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock exchanged
therefor, provided that the shares of Common Stock were held as a capital asset.
The adjusted basis of the shares of post-Reverse Split Common Stock will be the
same as the adjusted basis of the Common Stock exchanged therefor, reduced by
the basis applicable to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares
described below.

         A stockholder who receives cash in lieu of fractional shares will be
treated as if the Company has issued fractional shares to such stockholder and
then immediately redeemed such shares for cash. Such stockholder should
generally recognize gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the
amount of cash received and the basis allocable to the fractional share.

Statutory Accounting Consequences


                                       13



   15
         The par value of the Common Stock will remain at $.01 per share
following the Reverse Split. Consequently, the reduction in the number of shares
issued and outstanding as a result of the Reverse Split will cause the aggregate
par value of the outstanding Common Stock to be reduced, while the aggregate
capital in excess of par value attributable to the outstanding Common Stock will
be correspondingly increased for statutory accounting purposes under the
Delaware General Corporation Law. Although it is currently expected that this
increase in capital in excess of par value will continue to be treated as
capital for statutory accounting purposes, the Board of Directors of the Company
has the authority to transfer some or all of such increased capital in excess of
par value from its statutory capital account to surplus. The additional
statutory surplus created thereby would then be available for general corporate
purposes without any further action by the stockholders. The Company currently
has no plans to use any surplus so created.

Exchange of Stock Certificates

         As soon as practicable after the effective date of the Reverse Split,
the Company will send a letter of transmittal to each stockholder of record as
of the close of business on the effective date for use in transmitting
certificates representing shares of Common Stock ("old certificates") to the
Company's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Exchange
Agent"). The letter of transmittal will contain instructions for the surrender
of old certificates to the Exchange Agent in exchange for certificates
representing the approximate number of whole shares of post-Reverse Split Common
Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional share. No new certificates will be
issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered all old
certificates together with a properly completed and executed letter of
transmittal to the Exchange Agent.

         Upon proper completion and execution of the letter of transmittal and
return thereof to the Exchange Agent, together with all old certificates,
stockholders will receive a new certificate or certificates representing the
number of whole shares of Common Stock into which their shares of Common Stock
represented by the old certificates have been converted as a result of the
Reverse Split, plus a check for the amount due in lieu of fractional shares, if
any. Until surrendered, outstanding old certificates held by stockholders will
be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole shares of Common
Stock to which such stockholders are entitled as a result of the Reverse Split.
Stockholders should not send their old certificates to the Exchange Agent until
they have received the letter of transmittal. Shares not presented for surrender
as soon as is practicable after the letter of transmittal is sent shall be
exchanged at the first time they are presented for transfer. No service charges
will be payable by stockholders in connection with the exchange of certificates,
all expenses of which will be borne by the Company.

         Article FOURTH of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
is proposed to be further amended by adding a new paragraph at the end thereof
reading as follows:

            "2. Reverse Stock Split. Upon the filing of this Amendment with the
Secretary of State of Delaware, and effective as of 5:00 p.m., EST on the date
of filing (referred to herein as the "Effective Time"), every __ shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time shall
automatically, and without any action on the part of the stockholders, be
converted and combined into one share of validly issued, fully payable and
non-assessable share of Common Stock, par value $.01 (the "Reverse Split"). In
the case of a holder of shares not evenly divisible by __, such holder shall
receive, in lieu of any fraction of a share, a cash payment equal to the average
of the closing bid prices, as reported by the NASDAQ SmallCap Market (or, if the
Common Stock is not listed on the SmallCap Market as of the Effective Time, the
daily bid prices of the Common Stock as reported by National Quotation Bureau
or, if the Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Electronic Bulletin Board
("NEBB"), as reported by the NEBB), for the Common Stock on the five trading
days ending on the day of the Effective Time multiplied by that number of shares
of Common Stock that would otherwise have been converted into such fraction of a
share. As of the Effective Time and thereafter, a certificate(s) representing
shares of Common Stock prior to the Reverse Split shall be deemed to represent
the number of new shares into which the old shares are convertible and the right
to recover a cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares."
