         1. The Lender and the Borrower entered into a Financing Agreement dated

adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby covenant
and agree to be bound as follows:

                  agency having regulatory authority over such goods and/or

                  representations and covenants contained in any security
                  agreement or other agreement of the Borrower with or given to
                  the Lender relating directly or indirectly to the Borrower's
                  Inventory are applicable to it without exception.

                  2.2 THE ADVANCES. Section 2.1 of the Financing Agreement is
         amended in its entirety as follows:

                           Section 2.1 The Advances. On the terms and subject to
                  the conditions hereof, at the Borrower's request, the Lender,
                  in its absolute and sole discretion and without any commitment
                  to do so, may make the following Advances available to the
                  Borrower:

                           2.1(a) up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the net
                  amount of Eligible Accounts which are listed in the Borrower's
                  most current Borrowing Base Certificate and which are deemed
                  eligible for advances by the Lender, or such greater or lesser
                  percentage at the Lender's sole and absolute discretion, not
                  to exceed a maximum amount of $2,350,000 (the "Accounts
                  Advances");

                                                                              22
<PAGE>

                           2.1(b) up to thirty percent (30%) of the net amount
                  of Eligible Inventory which is listed in the Borrower's most
                  current Borrowing Base Certificate and which is deemed
                  eligible for advances by the Lender, or such greater or lesser
                  percentage at the Lender's sole and absolute discretion, not
                  to exceed a maximum amount of $500,000 (the "Inventory
                  Advances");

                           2.1(c) Letters of Credit. Until September 1, 2000,
                  the Lender agrees the Borrower may cause to be issued through
                  an Affiliate of the Lender, in the sole and absolute
                  discretion of such Affiliate, standby or documentary letters
                  of credit, provided, however, that the total amount of all
                  unexpired letters of credit and unreimbursed draws under
                  letters of credit (the "LC Obligations") shall not at any time
                  exceed $240,000 and the total amount of the outstanding
                  principal balance of the Advances under clauses 2.1(a) and
                  2.1(b) plus 125% of the LC Obligations (the "Total Revolving
                  Outstandings") shall not at any time exceed $2,350,000. If
                  issued, all letters of credit shall be subject to a 1% fee
                  payable to the issuer, and the Borrower will execute such
                  applications, security or pledge agreements and other
                  documents required by Lender's Affiliate and shall pay the
                  Lender's and such Affiliate's fees and expenses related to
                  such letters of credit. Each letter of credit shall be for a
                  period not to exceed one year, but may be renewable annually
                  for additional one year periods not to exceed three years in
                  the aggregate. Any draw under a letter of credit may, at the
                  option of the Lender, be repaid through an Advance, which the
                  Lender may make, and which the Borrower is obligated to repay,
                  even though (a) any agreement of the Lender to make Advances
                  in its sole discretion may have expired or terminated, (b) the
                  Borrower is at that time the debtor in any bankruptcy,
                  reorganization or insolvency proceeding, or (c) the Total
                  Revolving Outstandings exceed the availability under the most
                  recent Borrower Base Certificate or $2,350,000.

                  The total amounts advanced under Section 2.1(a), 2.1(b) and
         2.1(c) is the Facility Amount.

                  Notwithstanding the previous clauses 2.1(a), 2.1(b)and 2.1(c),
         the maximum aggregate amount advanced against all Eligible Accounts and
         all Eligible Inventory from time to time shall not exceed $2,350,000.

                                                                              23
<PAGE>

                  Loans for additional sums requested by the Borrower may be
         made at the Lender's sole discretion based upon the Lender's valuation
         of the Borrower's collateral or other factors. The Borrower
         acknowledges and agrees that the Lender may from time to time, for the
         Lender's convenience, segregate or apportion the Borrower's collateral
         for purposes of determining the amounts and maximum amounts of Advances
         which may be made hereunder. Nevertheless, the Lender's security
         interest in all such collateral, and any other collateral rights,
         interests and properties which may now or hereafter be available to the
         Lender, shall secure and may be applied to the payment of any and all
         Advances and other indebtedness secured by the Lender's security
         interest, in any order or manner of application and without regard to
         the method by which the Lender determines to make Advances hereunder.

                  2.3 INTEREST RATES AND INTEREST PAYMENTS. Section 2.3 of the
         Financing Agreement is amended in its entirety as follows:

                           Section 2.3 Interest Rates and Interest Payments.
                  Interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of the Advances at
                  a floating rate per annum equal to the sum of the Reference
                  Rate plus 3% (the "Applicable Rate") and shall be due and
                  payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar
                  month; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during
                  the continuance of any failure by the Borrower to comply with
                  any agreement or covenant of the Borrower under any Loan
                  Document, the unpaid balance of the Advances shall thereafter
                  bear interest at a floating rate equal to the sum of (a) the
                  Applicable Rate, plus (b) 2% and shall be due and payable on
                  demand; and provided further that the minimum amount of
                  interest due and payable in any month shall not be less than
                  $7,500.

                  SECTION 2.4 YEAR 2000. A new Section 5.12 is added to provide
         as follows:

                           Section 5.12 The Borrower has reviewed and assessed
                  its business operations and computer systems and applications
                  to address the "year 2000 problem" (that is, computer
                  applications used by Borrower, directly or indirectly through
                  third parties, may be unable to properly perform
                  date-sensitive functions before, during and after January 1,
                  2000). Borrower reasonably believes that the year 2000 problem
                  will not result in a material adverse change in Borrower's
                  business condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
                  properties or prospects or ability to repay Lender. Borrower
                  is

                                                                              24
<PAGE>

                  in the process of implementing a plan to remediate year 2000
                  problems and will complete implementation of such plan with
                  respect to any material year 2000 problems, and testing
                  thereof, by September 30, 1999. Borrower agrees that this
                  representation will be true and correct on and shall be deemed
                  made by Borrower on each date Borrower requests any advance
                  under this Agreement or delivers any information to Lender.
                  Borrower will promptly deliver to Lender such information
                  relating to this representation and covenant as Lender
                  requests from time to time.

                  SECTION 2.5 TERMINATION. Article VII of the Financing
         Agreement is amended in its entirety to provide as follows:

                                   ARTICLE VII

                            TERMINATION BY BORROWER

         This agreement shall continue in effect until terminated upon not less
than 30 days' prior written notice delivered by the Borrower to Lender by
certified mail. Termination shall not impair or affect the Lender's rights
existing as of the time notice of Termination is given. Borrowers obligations
with respect to payment of any Termination fee shall be fixed and owing as of
date such notice is given and not when such notice becomes effective.

         In the event that the Borrower gives notice to the Lender of the
termination of this Agreement under Section VII hereof at any time prior to
September 1, 2000, the Borrower will pay to the Lender a prepayment charge, as
additional compensation for the Lender's costs of entering into this Agreement,
in the amount of (i) 3% of the Facility Amount if the notice of termination
occurs prior to September 1, 1999; and (ii) 2% of the Facility Amount if the
notice of termination occurs after September 1, 1999, but before September 1,
2000, unless the outstanding amount of Borrower's obligations hereunder are
refinanced in full by an affiliate of U.S. Bancorp.

         SECTION 3. EFFECTIVENESS OF AMENDMENTS. The amendments contained in
this Amendment shall become effective upon delivery by the Borrower of, and
compliance by the Borrower with, the following:

                  3.1 This Amendment, duly executed by the Borrower.

                  3.2 A copy of the resolutions of each of the Borrower

         Borrower since true and accurate copies of the same were delivered to
         the Lender with a certificate of the Secretary of the Borrower dated
         December 29, 1997, and (ii) identifying each officer of the Borrower
         authorized to execute this Amendment and any other instrument or
         agreement executed by the Borrower in connection with this Amendment,
         and certifying as to specimens of such officer's signature and such
         officer's incumbency in such offices as such officer holds.

between the parties hereto and supersedes and has merged into it all prior oral
and written

                                                                              26
