Dear Mr. Grant :

This letter is to confirm that:

1)    Without the prior approval of the company's shareholders, options issued
      under any of the corporation's existing stock option plans will not be
      repriced, replaced, or regranted through cancellation, or by lowering the
      option exercise price of a previously granted award, and that,

2)    The plan will be amended at our next Board of Directors meeting to reflect
      these clarifications and a copy of the amended plan will be sent to The
      Proxy Monitor.

                                   Sincerely, /s/ John H. Gleason
