2. Name Change. Wherever the word Buyer or Steiner Spas USA, Inc. or Steiner USA Day Spas, Inc. appears in the Asset Purchase Agreement it shall mean Greenhouse Day Spa Group, Inc., a Florida corporation.

3. Consideration. The first sentence of Section 2.1(a) of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be amended in its entirety as follows:

The consideration to be paid by Buyer, whether at Closing or after Closing, in exchange for the Purchased Assets and the covenants not to compete set forth in Section 11.1 (the "Consideration") shall be equal to an amount not to exceed Thirty Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($30,800,000.00) payable in cash and Steiner Securities in accordance with Sections 2.1(b), 2.4 and 2.7-2.9 below.

7. Preparation of DOC Forms. Section 7.13 of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

10. Termination by Buyer. Section 14.1(b) of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be amended in its entirety as follows:

(b) if the Buyer shall have satisfied all of its conditions as specified in Section 8.2, then by Buyer 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 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 Agreement shall be amended in its entirety as follows:

(d) (i) if the Seller Parties shall have satisfied all of their 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, 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 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 12 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.
