Dear Bart:

The purpose of this letter is to renew our OEM Agreement for pricing term
which will begin August 28, 1999 and expire May 8, 2001 with deliveries to be
completed by November 8, 2001. This term will be coincident with the Strategic
Agreement term which began May 9, 1996 as per our prior Agreement.

There will be no changes to Exhibit A (pricing) for this renewal period, a copy
of which is attached for your reference.

If you agree to this renewal addendum, please indicate your acceptance by
signing both originals in the space provided. Retain one duplicate original for
your records and return the other to my attention.

Thank you for your continued cooperation.

Sincerely,

/s/ David Vaughn
