RE:  February 15, 2000 Consulting Agreement

Dear Don:

Given the continuing needs of the Company and the unexpected delays in
consummating a merger transaction, Iwerks has elected to extend the Consulting
Agreement between yourself and Iwerks Entertainment through December 31, 2000.

The July 31, 2000 triggering date will be changed to December 31, 2000. All the
remaining terms and conditions of the original agreement remain the same.

Best regards,


/S/ GARY MATUS                                   /S/ JEFF DAHL
