- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  PRINCIPAL AMOUNT:  $750,000.00              DATE OF AGREEMENT:  JULY 14, 1997

  DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS.  A Promissory Note dated as of August
  12, 1996 in the original principal amount of $750,000.00, executed by Borrower
  in favor of Lender.

  DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL.  This Note is secured by the Collateral as defined
  in that certain Commercial Security Agreement, dated as of August 12, 1996, as
  it may amended, modified, supplemented, replaced, or restated, from time to
  time, executed by Grantor in favor of Lender.

  DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.  The maturity date is amended from June 3,
  1997 to June 3, 1998. Effective as of July 3, 1997, the interest rate is
  changed from the Index rate plus one and one-half percent (1.50%) to the Index
  rate plus one percent (1.00%). Regularly scheduled monthly interest payments
  shall continue to be due and payable as provided in said Note, commencing
  August 3, 1997.

  ARBITRATION.  LENDER AND  BORROWER AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND
  CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN THEM, WHETHER INDIVIDUAL, JOINT, OR CLASS IN NATURE,
  ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
  CONTRACT AND TORT DISPUTES, SHALL BE ARBITRATED PURSUANT TO THE RULES OF THE
  AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, UPON REQUEST OF EITHER PARTY. No act to take
  or dispose of any collateral securing this Agreement shall constitute a waiver
  of this arbitration agreement or be prohibited by this arbitration agreement.
  This includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a temporary
  restraining order; invoking a power of sale under any deed of trust or
  mortgage; obtaining a writ of attachment or imposition of a receiver, or
  exercising any rights relating to personal property, including taking or
  disposing of such property with or without judicial process pursuant to
  Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Any disputes, claims, or
  controversies concerning the lawfulness or reasonableness of any act, or
  exercise of any right, concerning any collateral securing this Agreement,
  including any claim to rescind, reform, or otherwise modify any agreement
  relating to the collateral securing this Agreement, shall also be
  arbitrated, provided however that no arbitrator shall have the right or the
  power to enjoin or restrain any act of any party. Lender and Borrower agree
  that in the event of an action for judicial foreclosure pursuant to California
  Code of Civil Procedure Section 726, or any similar provision in any other
  state, the commencement of such an action will not constitute a waiver of the
  right to arbitrate and the court shall refer to arbitration as much of such
  action, including counterclaims, as lawfully may be referred to arbitration.
  Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrator may be entered in any court
  having jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any party from
  seeking equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. The statute
  of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and similar doctrines which would
  otherwise be applicable in an action brought by a party shall be applicable in
  any arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration proceeding
  shall be deemed the commencement of an action for these purposes. The Federal
  Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and
  enforcement of this arbitration provision.

  CONTINUING VALIDITY.  Except as expressly changed by this Agreement, the terms
  of the original obligation or obligations, including all agreements evidenced
  or securing the obligation(s), remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
  Consent by Lender to this Agreement does not waive Lender's right to strict
  performance of the obligation(s) as changed, nor obligate Lender to make any
  future change in terms. Nothing in this Agreement will constitute a
  satisfaction of the obligation(s). It is the intention of Lender to retain as
  liable parties all makers and endorsers of the original obligation(s),
  including accommodation parties, unless a party is expressly released by
  Lender in writing. Any maker or endorser, including accommodation makers, will
  not be released by virtue of this Agreement. If any person who signed the
  original obligation does not sign this Agreement below, then all persons
  signing below acknowledge that this Agreement is given conditionally, based on
  the representation to Lender that the non-signing party consents to the
  changes and provisions of this Agreement or otherwise will not be released by
  it. This waiver applies not only to any initial extension, modification or
  release, but also to all such subsequent action.

  PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE
  PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. BORROWER AGREES TO THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT
  AND ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF A COMPLETED COPY OF THE AGREEMENT.
