     1. Amendment to Note. The parties hereto hereby agree that the Note is

          A. All accrued but unpaid interest on the Note as of February 29, 2000
     ($_______) is hereby added to the principal balance of the Note, and the

          B. The first paragraph of the Note is hereby amended by changing the
     interest rate from thirteen percent (13%) per annum to fourteen percent
     (14%) per annum, effective as of the date hereof.

          C. Section 1 of the Note is hereby amended to read in its entirety
     as follows:

               1. Principal and Interest Payment. Interest on this Note from and
          after March 1, 2000 shall be due and payable on the first day of each
          calendar quarter, commencing on April 1, 2000 and continuing on the
          first day of each calendar quarter thereafter until all interest on
          this Note has been paid in full. The principal of this Note shall be
          due and payable on the earlier of: (i) March 31, 2001; (ii) thirty

     as follows:

               1. Prepayment. Maker may at its sole option prepay all or any
          part of the principal of this Note, or interest thereon, before
          maturity without premium or penalty. All such prepayments shall first
          be applied to accrued but unpaid interest on this Note, and the
          remaining balance of any such prepayments, if any, shall be applied to
          the principal balance of this Note.

          E. A new Section 14 is hereby added to the Note, which Section shall
     read in its entirety as follows:

               1. Conversion. Within fifteen (15) days following the closing of
          an IPO by Maker (the "Conversion Expiration Date"), Payee may, at
          Payee's option, convert any or all of the then outstanding principal
          balance of, and accrued but unpaid interest on, the Note into shares
          of Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to ninety five
          percent (95%) of the offering price of the IPO. In order to exercise
          the above conversion right, Payee must deliver to the Chief Financial
          Officer of Maker at Maker's executive offices in Scottsdale, Arizona,

purchasable thereunder being equal to 20,000 for each $100,000 of principal
outstanding on the Note on the date of this Agreement.

     3. Potential Issuance of Penalty Warrants. Commencing on October 1, 2000,
and continuing on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter, if any of
the principal of the Note continues to be outstanding, then Maker shall issue to
Payee a Warrant, in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, to
purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock for each $100,000 of principal outstanding
on the Note on the first day of such calendar quarter.

     4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding
between and among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof,
and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such parties, and subject
to its terms, the respective successors, heirs, assigns and legal
representatives. Payee agrees that this Agreement shall be attached to the Note.
