"operating profitability" financial covenants for the fiscal quarter ending
December 31, 1998.

        3.      Consent.  Notwithstanding the occurrence of an Event of Default

     amount which is greater than the then outstanding principal amount of the

(including but not limited to a schedule of collection of trade accounts
receivable), investing, and financing activities for the term of the Loan
Agreement, and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrower's
failure to deliver said Statement of Cash Flows shall constitute an Event of
Default as defined in the Loan Agreement.

warrants that the representations and warranties respectively made in the Loan
Documents continue to be true and complete in all material respects as of the

        9.      Release And Waiver.

                (a)     Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (1) it has
no claim or cause of action against Bank or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate
of Bank, or any of Bank's officers, directors, employees, attorneys or other

properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to

believe Borrower to have any claim, cause of action, offset or defense against
Bank or any of Bank's Agents in connection with the Loan Documents, the loans
thereunder or the transactions contemplated therein, Bank wishes and Borrower
agrees to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions,
events, circumstances or matters could impair or otherwise affect any rights,
interests, contracts or remedies of Bank. Therefore, Borrower unconditionally
releases and waives (1) any and all liabilities, indebtedness and obligations,
whether known or unknown, of any kind of Bank or of any of Bank's Agents to

claims under any oral or implied agreement, obligation or understanding with
Bank or any of Bank's Agents, whether known or unknown, which is different from

or any of the other Loan Documents; and (4) all other claims, causes of action
or defenses of any kind whatsoever (if any), whether known or unknown, which
Borrower might otherwise have against Bank or any of Bank's Agents, on account
of any condition, act, omission, event, contract, liability, obligation,
indebtedness, claim, cause of action, defense, circumstance or matter of any
kind whatsoever which existed, arose or occurred at any time prior to the
execution and delivery of this First Amendment or which could arise concurrently
with the effectiveness of this First Amendment.

                (c)     Borrower agrees that it understands the meaning and
effect of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:

                        Section 1542. Certain Claims Not Affected by General
                        Release. A general release does not extend to claims
                        that 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.

BORROWER AGREES TO ASSUME THE RISK OF ANY AND ALL UNKNOWN, UNANTICIPATED OR
MISUNDERSTOOD DEFENSES, CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, CONTRACTS, LIABILITIES,

WHICH ANY SUCH LAWS MAY BE APPLICABLE, BORROWER WAIVES AND RELEASES (TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) ANY RIGHT OR DEFENSE WHICH IT MIGHT OTHERWISE
HAVE UNDER ANY OTHER LAW OF ANY APPLICABLE JURISDICTION WHICH MIGHT LIMIT OR
RESTRICT THE EFFECTIVENESS OR SCOPE OF ANY OF ITS WAIVERS OR RELEASES UNDER THIS
FIRST AMENDMENT.
