                           ADDENDUM TO LEASE AGREEMENT

      29. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

      The Lease includes the following additional terms and conditions:

      A. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

      1.    Landlord grants to Tenant the right of first refusal (the "Option")
            to purchase the property, upon the same terms as the bona fide offer
            except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 29(A), in the event
            that Landlord receives a bona fide offer to purchase the entire
            premises (the "Property"), if Tenant is not in default at the time
            Landlord receives such bona fide offer or fails to cure within the
            specified time if in default at the time of receipt of the bona fide
            offer. Any transfer by Landlord to Mark Maust or an immediate family
            member of Mark Maust, an affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company of
            Landlord, or to another entity controlled by the same principals as
            control Landlord, shall not trigger the right of first refusal. The
            offer shall be extended in writing to Tenant and shall contain a
            complete description of the price, terms and conditions offered to
            Landlord by the proposed transferee. If Tenant does not notify
            Landlord within ten (10) days of its exercise of the Option,
            Landlord may transfer its interest in the Property to the
            prospective Purchaser named in the third party offer, such transfer
            to be made in all material respects in accordance with the terms and
            conditions stated in the third party offer. However, if the Landlord
            fails to make such transfer, the interest of the Landlord in the
            Premises shall again be subject to the right of first refusal and
            the conditions herein provided.

      2.    The Tenant shall exercise the Option by (a) giving Landlord written
            notice of its intent to exercise the Option, which notice shall be
            personally delivered or mailed by United States Certified Mail,
            return receipt requested, to Landlord at the address for giving
            notices under this Lease within ten (10) days from the date of
            Landlord's notice to Tenant; and (b) delivering to Landlord with
            such notice a cashier's or certified check payable to Landlord in
            the amount of Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the "Earnest
            Money") as a good faith deposit.

      3.    ABSTRACT AND TITLE. If Tenant exercises the Option, then Landlord,
            at its expense, shall promptly obtain an abstract of title to the
            Property continued through the date of Tenant's exercise of the
            Option, and deliver it to Tenant for examination. It shall show
            merchantable title in Landlord in conformity with this Lease and the
            Iowa Land Title Standards of the Iowa State Bar Association. The
            abstract shall become the property of the Tenant when the Purchase
            Price for the Property is paid in full. Landlord shall pay the costs
            of any additional abstracting and title work. The closing date may,
            in Landlord's sole discretion, be extended as necessary until
            Landlord is able to provide such merchantable title.

      4.    DEED. If Tenant exercises the Option, upon payment of the Purchase
            Price for the Property, Landlord shall convey the Property to
            Tenant, by general warranty deed, free and clear of all liens,
            restrictions and encumbrances except zoning, easements, covenants
            and restrictions of record, and any matters suffered or permitted by
            Tenant. All warranties of title shall extend up to time of delivery
            of the deed. Funds payable at closing may be used to clear title
            defects and to pay validly existing liens or encumbrances against
            the Property.


                                       13
<PAGE>

      5.    PRORATION OF TAXES. If Tenant exercises the Option and in
            furtherance of the obligations of the parties under paragraph 10 of
            this Lease, the real estate taxes and any special assessments
            against the Property shall be prorated between Landlord and Tenant
            to the date of closing as in the normal case of a purchase and sale
            transaction, except that Tenant shall be responsible for all taxes
            as provided in this Lease.

      6.    CLOSING. The closing shall be held on a date that is mutually
            acceptable to Landlord and Tenant and that is not more than one
            hundred twenty (120) days from the date on which Tenant gives notice
            that it elects to exercise the Option. At the closing, Tenant shall
            pay the Purchase Price by cashier's or certified check or by wire
            transfer of funds in accordance with Landlord's wire transfer
            instructions given to Tenant. The Earnest Money may be used to pay
            Tenant's charges, if any, for purchasing the Property and the
            remaining balance shall be credited against the Purchase Price.

      7.    DEFAULT. If after exercising the Option, Tenant fails to close the
            purchase transaction through no fault of Landlord, then Landlord may
            cancel the contract and retain the Earnest Money as liquidated
            damages from Tenant's failure to perform. Landlord shall also be
            entitled to utilize any and all other remedies or actions at law or
            in equity available to Landlord and shall be entitled to recover all
            costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord as a result of
            Tenant's failure to perform. If through the fault of Landlord the
            purchase transaction fails to close, Tenant's sole and exclusive
            remedy shall be a return of the Earnest Money.

      B. For purposes of paragraph 20(a) of the Lease, Tenant creates, provides
for, grants, transfers and conveys to Landlord a lien and security interest, as
provided by the Uniform Commercial Code of Iowa, upon all personal property of
Tenant, and all accessions and additions thereto, and all replacements,
substitutions and proceeds thereof, kept and used on the premises by Tenant at
any time during the Lease, or any extension thereof. Tenant hereby authorizes
Landlord to file such financing statements and continuation statements as
Landlord may determine in order to perfect such security interest. In the event
this Lease is terminated by Tenant's default, Landlord may immediately re-enter
and resume possession of the premises and take possession of all of the
aforesaid personal property, as to which Landlord shall have all of the rights
and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in
Iowa. Tenant agrees that any required written notice sent by Landlord at least
ten (10) days in advance of any action shall be deemed to be reasonable for all
purposes. Furthermore, Tenant agrees to execute upon request by Landlord a
Memorandum of this Lease containing such information concerning this Lease as
Landlord may reasonably determine. Tenant authorizes Landlord to file such
Memorandum of Lease.


                                       14
<PAGE>

      C. Estoppel Certificates. Tenant, from time to time, upon written request
from Landlord, agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord within ten
(10) days from Landlord's request, in form and substance satisfactory to
Landlord but subject to such modifications as Landlord's mortgagee may
reasonably require, a written statement certifying that Tenant has accepted the
premises, that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if
there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as
modified, setting forth the modifications), that Landlord is not in default
hereunder, the date to which the rent and other amounts payable by Tenant have
been paid in advance, if any, and such additional facts as may be required by
Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee. Tenant understands and agrees that Landlord
any prospective purchaser of the premises, any current or prospective mortgagee
of the premises and their respective successors and assigns, may rely upon any
such statement delivered pursuant to this paragraph.

      Subordination. This Lease Agreement and all rights of the tenant under
this Lease Agreement shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any and all
mortgages that affect the property covered by this Lease Agreement or any part
of the leased property, and to any and all new mortgages, renewals,
modifications or extensions of any mortgages. Tenant shall, on demand, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Landlord any and all instruments that may be
necessary or proper to subordinate this Lease Agreement and all rights in this
Lease Agreement to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages. The parties agree
that each shall cooperate with any lenders in obtaining non-disturbance
agreements.

      D. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Minimum Rent for the premises,
without notice, setoff, or demand, the monthly amounts set forth below:

        Month of Term                     Monthly Minimum Rental
        -------------                     ----------------------
           1 to 60                              $8,250.00
          61 to 120                              9,000.00

      Said monthly payments shall be due and payable by Tenant in advance on the
first day of each calendar month during the term of this Lease Agreement, or any
extension or renewal thereof, at the office of Landlord.

      E. REAL ESTATE TAXES. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all real
estate taxes and all assessments for special improvements and any taxes in lieu
thereof which may be levied or assessed upon the Real Property payable in any
year within the Lease Term and any extension thereof. Taxes and installments of
special assessments payable during any partial year of the Lease Term and any
extensions thereof shall be prorated on a calendar year basis. At the option of
the Landlord, this Additional Rent shall be due and payable with the Minimum
Rent in advance in equal monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of
such taxes and assessments due and payable during the then calendar year.

      F. Tenant shall purchase at Tenant's expense property insurance with a
minimum coverage amount of $1.5 million pursuant to Paragraph 11 of this Lease.
Tenant shall procure the insurance policies required under paragraph 11 of this
Lease from insurance companies acceptable to Landlord.


                                       15

RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY OF ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE. Each of the
parties to this Lease agrees that in the event any party to this Lease commences
an action to enforce the terms of this Lease or for breach of this Lease, such
action shall be venued in either the United States District Court sitting in
Polk County, Iowa or in the Iowa District Court in and for Polk County, Iowa.

      I. Before commencement of any work by Lessee, all Plans and Specifications
shall be filed with and approved by all government departments or authorities
having jurisdiction over such matters, and all work shall be done in accordance
with the requirements of local regulations. The Plans and Specifications for any
alterations estimated to cost $5,000 or more, shall be submitted to Lessor for
prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) prior to commencing work. Alterations shall be performed in a
workmanlike manner and shall not weaken or impair the structural strength or
lessen the value of the building.
