                                   AGREEMENT

  For valuable consideration as hereinafter granted each to the other and
intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties acknowledge the preliminary
statements and amend the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Agreement as
follows:

  1. Effective as of the date hereof, the amount of the "subject commitment"
(as defined in the Agreement) shall be reduced to Eight Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($8,500,000).

  2. Subsection 2B.06 (captioned "AMOUNT") is hereby rewritten in its entirety
to read as follows:

  2B.06 AMOUNT -- No subject loan shall be made if, after giving effect
  thereto, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the subject loans would
  exceed the lesser of the amount of the subject commitment then in effect or
  the borrowing base then in effect; provided, however, that the proceeds of
  any subject loans made on or after the date hereof may be used, with the
  prior approval of Bank, only to purchase eligible investments or to make
  capital and tenant improvements, except for subject loans up to a maximum
  amount outstanding at any time of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars, which
  may be used without obtaining the prior approval of Bank.

  3. Subsection 3D.06 of the Agreement (captioned "WORTH") is hereby amended
its entirety to read as follows:
   3
  3D.06 WORTH -- Borrower shall not suffer or permit its net worth at any time
  to be less that Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000).

  This provision shall be tested as of the end of each quarter of each of
  Borrower's fiscal years; provided, however, that this provision shall not be
  deemed to have been satisfied until Bank has received Borrower's quarterly or
  annual report described in subsection 3A.01 for the end of the quarter in    
  question which establishes that this provision has been satisfied.

  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and National City have executed this Amendment
at the time and place first above mentioned.
