owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is indebted to Bank pursuant to, among other
documents, an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated June 5, 
1996, as may be amended from time to time, (the "Loan Agreement').  The Loan 
Agreement provided for, among other things, a Committed Line in the original 
principal amount of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the 
"Revolving Facility").  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."

2.	DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL AND GUARANTIES.  Repayment of 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".

3.	DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.

A.	Modification(s) to Loan Agreement.

1. The defined term "Committed Line is hereby amended in its entirety to read
as follows:

The principal amount of the Revolving Facility is One Million and 00/100 
Dollars ($1,000,000.00).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the principal amount 
shall be increased by One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars (the "Temporary
Increase Amount") until February 25, 1997.  Accordingly, Borrower shall repay
to Bank all of the Temporary Increase Amount borrowed on February 25, 1997, 
whereupon the maximum principal amount shall return to One Million and 00/100 
Dollars ($1,000,000.00).

4.	CONSISTENT CHANGES. The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended wherever
necessary to reflect the changes described above.

5.	NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER.  Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing 
below) agrees that it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any 
amounts under the Indebtedness.

6.	CONTINUING VALIDITY.  Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing below)
understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Bank is 
relying upon Borrowers representations, warranties, and agreements, as set
forth in the Existing Loan Documents.  Except as expressly modified pursuant
to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents
remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  Bank's agreement to
modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this Loan Modification
Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the
Indebtedness.  Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute
a satisfaction of the Indebtedness.  It is the intention of Bank and Borrower
to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan
Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing.  No
maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Loan
Modification Agreement.  The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this
Loan Modification Agreement, but also to all subsequent loan modification
agreements.

 	This Loan Modification Agreement is executed as of the date first written 
above.
