        This Loan Modification Agreement is entered into as of March 21, 2001,

provided for, among other things, a Committed Revolving Line in the original
principal amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). Defined terms used but not
otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Loan Agreement.

Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank shall be referred to as
the "Indebtedness."

        ----------------------------------------
is secured by the Collateral as described in the Loan Agreement.

Hereinafter, the above-described security documents and guaranties, together
with all other documents securing repayment of the Indebtedness shall be
referred to as the "Security Documents". Hereinafter, the Security Documents,
together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Indebtedness shall
be referred to as the "Existing Loan Documents".
