temporarily permit the Overline to remain outstanding;
WHEREAS, Lender has agreed to temporarily permit the Overline to
remain outstanding as provided herein;

valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Amendment. The Agreement is amended as follows:
---------
(a) Section 1.3 of the Agreement shall be amended and restated in
its entirety as follows:
"1.3 Overlines. If at any time or for any reason the outstanding
---------
amount of advances made pursuant hereto exceeds any of the dollar or
percentage limitations contained in the Schedule (any such excess, an
"Overline"), then Borrower shall, upon Lender's demand, immediately pay to
Lender, in cash, the full amount of such Overline; provided, that if the
--------
amount of such Overline is less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000), Borrower shall pay to Lender, in cash, the full amount of such

1.3) is outstanding, the outstanding
principal balance of the Revolving Loan
shall bear additional interest, in
addition to the interest set forth above,
of one percent (1%) per annum.
2. Confirmation of Liens. This Amendment in no way acts as a release
---------------------

securing payment of the Loans or of the enforcement thereof. Such liens,
security interests, rights and remedies are hereby ratified, confirmed,
preserved, renewed and extended by Borrower in all respects.

------------------------
Amendment and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Lender and Borrower and their respective successors and assigns,

written consent of Lender.

-------------
performed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona.

parties relating to the subject matter thereof.

in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when taken together,
shall constitute one and the same agreement, admissible into evidence,
notwithstanding the fact that all parties have not signed the same counterpart.

equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by
