Exhibit 10.3

                       AMENDMENT TO MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT

29. SECURITY INTEREST. As security for Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee
hereby grants Lessor a security interest in all equipment (as defined in Article
9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Minnesota on the date
hereof and as may be amended from time to time) of Lessee, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired (collectively, "Equipment"), and Lessee shall execute and
consents to filing of appropriate UCC-1 financing statements with respect to
such interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor agrees that:

                  (i) such interest in any future Equipment will automatically
         be subordinated to a purchase money security interest of any party
         providing financing for such future Equipment and the Lessor shall
         execute any release or subordination agreement as required by the
         purchase money lender; and

                  (ii) in connection with any subsequent secured financing by
         the Lessee, Lessor will, upon request, release or subordinate all of
         its interests in any Equipment not subject to any Lease, and that such
         release or subordination will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
         as long as Lessee is not in default of the obligations under the Lease
         or has not been in default of the obligations under the Lease for the
         past eight (8) months.
