            WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Company wish to further amend the
Purchase Agreement and to evidence the consent of the Purchaser to certain
actions proposed by the Company;

            NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:

            1. The Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the interest

interest rate of "12.0%".

            2. Any reference in the Purchase Agreement and/or related documents
to that 11.5% Subordinated Debenture shall mean the same debenture amended
hereby.

            3. The Purchase Agreement is hereby further amended by deleting the

and performance hereof and of all documents required herein have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not (i) violate or conflict
with the Company's corporate charter

order, writ, judgment or decree by which the Company or any of its assets are

interests previously granted in the Operative Documents remain perfected and
continue to secure the Obligations with the priority required by the Operative

notice, the passing of time, or both, would cause such a default or Event of
Default. The Company further acknowledges that the Company's obligations
evidenced by the Operative Documents are not subject to any counterclaim,
defense or right of setoff, and the Company hereby releases the Purchaser and
its officers, directors, agents and attorneys from any claim, known or unknown,
that the Company may have against any or all of them as of the execution of this
Amendment. In this regard, the Company acknowledges that the Company is familiar
with Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides
as follows:

            A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
            not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing
            the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
            settlement with the debtor.

The Company hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits which it has
or may have under any provision of applicable law that is to the same effect as
the above Section 1542.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this release shall not affect the future
obligations of the Purchaser set forth in the Operative Documents.

            7. Concurrently with the execution of this Amendment, the Company
shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Purchaser and its counsel in
connection with this Amendment.
