     (vi) Section 5.5 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read
as follows:                                                                     

          "The Sellers have furnished to the Buyer, and attached as Schedule 5.5
     hereto is, a copy of the Statement of Assets to be Acquired and Liabilities
to be Assumed of the Ground EO Business and FPA Business on a combined
basis as of December 31, 1997 (the 'December Statement'). The December
 Statement has been audited by PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLP, the Sellers'
 independent accountants, but is in draft form subject to changes in the
    footnotes to describe any changes to the ancillary agreements described in
the footnotes and subject to delivery of PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLP's
     audit opinion after consummation of the Closing. The December Statement has
   been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly presents in all material
   respects the combined financial position of the Businesses as of December
31, 1997, except as otherwise disclosed in the notes to the December  
Statement."                                                           

   vii Section 5.17 of the Agreement is hereby amended by amending paragraph
(a)(ii) in its entirety to read as follows:                                     

"(ii) Each of the Businesses has all licenses, permits and  
   governmental consents required under Environmental Laws for the operation
    of the Businesses as presently conducted (the "Environmental Permits") and
there are no violations, investigations or proceedings nor, to the    
    knowledge of the Sellers, are any investigations or proceedings pending or
threatened, with respect to the Environmental Permits except where the
failure to have such Environmental Permits or where the violation,    
    investigation or proceeding relating thereto would not, individually or in
   the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Environmental Permits
    are listed on Schedule 5.20 hereto. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Environmental Permits include one or more air discharge
     permits relating in part to the FPA Business (the "Texas Air Permits"). The
     Texas Air Permits are sufficient in all material respects for the operation
of the Sellers' businesses at the TI Expressway site in Dallas, Texas 
  (including the S/C building and the Research West building) as currently
   conducted, including the FPA Business. After the Closing the Sellers will
    cooperate with the Buyer to cause the applicable regulatory authorities to
issue one or more new air permits (as replacements for the Texas Air  
    Permits as they relate to the FPA Business) applicable to the FPA Business
as owned by the Buyer, with the applications for such air permits to  
     request permitted discharge levels sufficient to permit the FPA Business to
 continue its operations as currently conducted. To the knowledge of the
   Sellers, there is no reason the issuance of such new air permits will not
   be granted by the applicable regulatory authorities. RTIS as owner of the
 FPA Business, if it wished to increase from current levels the level of
VOCs permitted to be

Payments and will have the right to take all commercially reasonable

(x) Section 15.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by amending clause
(a)(i) in its entirety to read as follows:                                      

               "(i) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before October 20,
          1998 or, in the event the DOJ provides an extension as contemplated by
