In addition, the Term Sheet provides for the purchase of an additional 518, 000 shares of Common Stock (the "Additional Shares") from the Seller by January 14, 1999, which Additional Shares are not presently owned by the Seller.

The Seller's obligation to pay such liquidated damages amount has been guaranteed by Ilyas Chaudhary (the owner of substantially all of Seller). Under the provisions of the Term Sheet, the Reporting Person agrees to cause one person nominated by the Seller to be included in each management slate of Directors of the Reporting Person until January 1, 2002.
