                                FIRST AMENDMENT
                                      TO
                             OFFICE BUILDING LEASE


          THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO OFFICE BUILDING LEASE (this "Amendment") is
made as of March 19, 1998, by and between M&S CALIFORNIA FUND, L.P.
("Landlord"), and INTEK INFORMATION, INC. ("Tenant").


                                   RECITALS


A.   Landlord and Tenant are parties to an Office Building Lease dated as of
     June 17, 1997 (the "Lease"), with respect to certain premises located
     within the Building at 1455 Frazee Road, San Diego, California. All
     capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have
     the meanings set forth in the Lease.

B.   Tenant now wishes to lease additional space in the Building on the terms of
     the Lease, as modified by this Amendment.


                                   AGREEMENT


          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained
herein, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

          1.   Expansion of Premises.
               ---------------------

               a.   Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases
from Landlord approximately 4,303 additional rentable square feet (including
3,808 usable square feet) of contiguous space on the second floor to be known as
Suite 210 ("Suite 210") for the entire term of the Lease (which is extended as
provided in Section 4 below) upon and subject to the terms, covenants and
conditions set forth in the Lease, as modified by this Amendment. Landlord shall
deliver Suite 210 to Tenant on the Expansion Date (defined below). The premises
originally demised under the Lease are referred to in this Amendment as "Suite
200." On the Expansion Date the lease shall be deemed modified as follows:

               i.   Suite 210 shall become a part of the Premises, subject to
          all of the terms of the Lease as amended by this Amendment;

               ii.  the aggregate "Premises" shall be deemed to measure 12,611
          rentable square feet of space;

                                       1
<PAGE>

               iii. the floor plan attached as Exhibit A to this Amendment shall
                                               ---------
          be added to the floor plan attached to the Lease as Exhibit A; and

               iv.  Tenant's Percentage shall equal 5.79%.

               b.   Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to construct
leasehold improvements for Tenant or to repair or refurbish Suite 210, except as
specifically set forth in Section 2 of this Amendment. Landlord or Landlord's
agents have made no representations or promises with respect to the Building,
Suite 210 or this Lease except as expressly set forth in the Lease. The taking
of possession of Suite 210 by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant
accepts the same "as is" and that Suite 210 is suited for the use intended by
Tenant and was in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession
was taken. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that (a) its sole intended
use of Suite 210 is for general office use which has no special requirements,
including but not limited to, special security requirements, (b) it does not
intend to use Suite 210 for any other purpose, and (c) prior to executing this
Lease it has made such investigations as it deems appropriate with respect to
the suitability of Suite 210 for its intended use and has determined that Suite
210 is suitable for such intended use.

          2.   Tenant Improvements.
               -------------------

               a.   Landlord shall provide Tenant a "turn-key" build-out package
for improvements to Suite 210 in an amount not to exceed $70,986.70
("Construction Budget") as specified in the "Construction Budget" attached
hereto as Exhibit B.
          ----------

               b.   Tenant and Landlord have approved the space plan for Suite
210 (the "Space Plan"), attached hereto as Exhibit C. Within fourteen (14) days
                                           ----------
after the date of this Amendment, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant for Tenant's
approval working drawings consisting of a floor plan, reflected ceiling plan,
interior elevations, electrical plan, door schedule and finish schedule for
Suite 210 (the "Working Drawings"), which Working Drawings shall be consistent
with the Space Plan. Tenant shall approve or disapprove the Working Drawings in
writing within three (3) business days after receipt thereof. Tenant shall have
the right to disapprove the Working Drawings only if and to the extent the
Working Drawings are inconsistent with the Space Plan. If Tenant disapproves the
Working Drawings, Tenant shall return the Working Drawings to Landlord with
Tenant's specific requested changes noted thereon. Landlord shall promptly
revise and resubmit the Working Drawings to Tenant for approval (on the same
terms set forth above). Landlord shall be obligated to revise the Working
Drawings only to the extent the Working Drawings are inconsistent with the Space
Plan. The Working Drawings as finally approved by Tenant in writing are referred
to as the "Final Plans."

                                       2
<PAGE>

               c.   The term "Landlord's Work", as used in this Amendment, means
the improvement work described in the Final Plans. Landlord may, in its sole
discretion, refuse any change in the Final Plans requested by Tenant. Tenant
shall pay any increased costs incurred by Landlord as a result of any changes to
the Final Plans requested by Tenant ("Increased Costs"). Tenant shall pay or
reimburse Landlord within five (5) business days after Landlord's request for
any Increased Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Amendment, Landlord will, at Landlord's expense, finish and fill in any holes in
the floor of Suite 210 existing as of the date of this Amendment.

               d.   Landlord shall substantially complete Landlord's work and
deliver Suite 210 to Tenant by August 1, 1998, or as soon as is reasonably
possible after such date. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to notify Tenant
of the projected date of substantial completion of Suite 210 at least fifteen
(15) days prior thereto. The "Expansion Date" shall be the later of (i) August
1, 1998 or (ii) the date (the "Substantial Completion Date") on which Landlord
substantially completes Landlord's Work and delivers Suite 210 to Tenant.
However, if Landlord is delayed in substantially completing Landlord's Work due
to Tenant's failure to timely approve the Final Plans or due to changes in the
Final Plans requested by Tenant, then the Substantial Completion Date shall be
deemed to be the date the Landlord would have substantially completed Landlord's
Work but for such tenant delay. If Landlord substantially completes Landlord's
Work prior to August 1, 1998, and Tenant elects to take delivery of Suite 210
prior to such date, the Expansion Date shall be the date Tenant accepts delivery
of Suite 210. When the Expansion Date has been ascertained, the parties shall
promptly execute a memorandum (the "Verification Memorandum") confirming the
Expansion Date and the expiration date of the Lease term.

               e.   Tenant acknowledges and confirms that Landlord has no
obligation to perform or pay for improvements to the Premises other than as
provided in this Section 2.

          3.   Base Monthly Rent.
               -----------------

               a.   The monthly base rental rate for Suite 210, payable from and
after the Expansion Date, shall be $1.50 per rentable square foot ($6,454.50),
subject to annual increases as provided herein. The monthly base rental rate for
Suite 210 shall increase annually, in increments of five cents ($.05) per
rentable square foot, effective on the first day of the calendar month in which
occurs the anniversary of the Expansion Date (each an "Adjustment Date").
Accordingly, the base rental rate for Suite 210 shall be as follows:
