                              SECOND AMENDMENT TO,
                   AND PARTIAL TERMINATION OF, LEASE AGREEMENT

         THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO, AND PARTIAL TERMINATION OF, LEASE AGREEMENT
(the "Second Amendment"), is entered into as of January 1, 2004, by and between
GILLESPIE FIELD PARTNERS, LLC, a California limited liability company
("Landlord") and SPARKS EXHIBITS, LTD., a California corporation ("Tenant"),
with reference to the following facts:

         A. Landlord and Tenant are all of the parties to that certain Lease
Agreement dated as of June 29, 1998 (the "Lease"), wherein Landlord leased to
Tenant certain real property located at 2025 Gillespie Way, El Cajon,
California, having located thereon a single industrial building (the "Building")
containing approximately 150,159 square feet of space (the "Original Premises").

         B. Subsequent to execution of the Lease, Tenant's business requirements
have changed and Tenant has requested that Landlord assist Tenant in locating
tenants to lease portions of the Original Premises. In accordance with Tenant's
request, Landlord previously identified G.T.M. Wholesale Liquidators Inc.
("GTM") as a prospective tenant to lease a portion of the Original Premises
comprising approximately 40,694 square feet (the "GTM Premises") and Landlord
and Tenant have previously entered into that certain First Amendment to Lease
Agreement and Agreement dated as of October 31, 2003 (the "First Amendment"),
whereby Landlord and Tenant have agreed to mutually cooperate and undertake to
pay for and perform certain obligations with respect to the GTM Premises.

         C. Upon the fulfillment and satisfaction of certain terms, provisions
and conditions set forth in the First Amendment, Landlord and Tenant agreed to
mutually terminate the Lease with respect only to the portion of the Original
Premises which is comprised of the GTM Premises. Subject to payment by Tenant of
remaining amounts required by the First Amendment, such terms, provisions and
conditions set forth in the First Amendment have been fulfilled and satisfied
and, accordingly, Landlord and Tenant desire to memorialize the partial
termination of the Lease with respect to the GTM Premises and to otherwise amend
certain terms and provisions of the Lease affected by such partial termination.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements
and undertakings contained in this Second Amendment and the exchange of other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Definitions. Unless defined in this Second Amendment, or except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Second Amendment, capitalized terms
utilized in this Second Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms
in the Lease.

         2. Mutual Partial Termination of the Lease; Effective Date. Pursuant
to, and in accordance with, Section 4 of the First Amendment ("Section 4"),
Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and acknowledge that (i) subject to payment by
Tenant of remaining amounts required by the First Amendment, all terms,
provisions and conditions of Section 4 which were required to be fulfilled and
satisfied in order for the Lease to be partially terminated have been fulfilled
and satisfied, (ii) effective as of January 1, 2004 (the "Effective Date"), the
Lease is partially terminated with respect only to the portion of the Original
Premises which is comprised of the GTM Premises (the "Partial Termination"),
(iii) this Second Amendment is intended by Landlord and Tenant to constitute the
"mutually acceptable written instrument" referred to in Section 4 of the First
Amendment, which Section 4 contemplates is to be entered into by Landlord and
Tenant partially terminating and amending the Lease and (iii) the Lease is
amended and modified in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Second
Amendment. Notwithstanding Landlord's agreement with Tenant to partially
terminate the Lease as of the Effective Date, as aforesaid, Tenant shall remain
obligated and liable for Tenant's share of costs and expenses set forth in the
First Amendment as fully and finally determined. Landlord has previously
provided Tenant with good faith estimates of the costs and expenses described
and set forth in Section 3 of the First Amendment and Section 6 of the First
Amendment. As soon as practicable following the execution of this Second



Amendment, Landlord shall use its good faith best efforts to provide Tenant with
a breakdown of the final costs and expenses required to be paid by Tenant
pursuant to the First Amendment, accompanied by reasonable supporting
documentation and the parties will discharge their respective responsibilities
with respect thereto in accordance with all terms and provisions of the First
Amendment.

         3. Specific Amendments to the Lease. Effective as of the Effective
Date, the Lease is hereby amended only in the following specific respects:

                  3.1 Definition of Premises. The definition of the "Premises",
for all purposes of the Lease, shall refer to, and be deemed to refer to, the
Original Premises reduced by the portion of the Original Premises which
comprises the GTM Premises, consisting of approximately 109,465 square feet,
depicted in the amended Exhibit A attached to this Second Amendment, which
Exhibit A amends, supersedes and replaces in its entirety, original Exhibit A to
the Lease.

                  3.2 Parking. The requirement, in Section 1.1 of the Lease,
that the Premises contain not less than 200 parking spaces is hereby amended to
provide that the Premises shall contain not less than 145 parking spaces.

                  3.3 Base Monthly Rental. Base Monthly Rental, as provided in
Section 3.1 of the Lease, shall be the sum of $52,542.97 per month, and, in
accordance with Section 3.3 of the Lease, shall remain fixed throughout the
balance of the initial term of the Lease as set forth in Section 2.1 of the
Lease.

                  3.4      Share of Common Area Maintenance Expenses and Other
Charges.

                  (a) Section 3.4 of the Lease shall be amended in its entirety
to provide: "Tenant shall pay as additional rent utilities, taxes, insurance,
repairs, maintenance or other charges, as described and in the manner provided
in Article 9 and common area expenses, as described and in the manner provided
in Article 11".

                  (b) The first sentence of Section 8.1 of the Lease shall be
amended in its entirety to provide: "Landlord shall maintain, at Tenant's
prorata expense, a policy or policies of insurance protecting Landlord against
the following:"

                  (c) The first sentence of Section 10.2 of the Lease shall be
amended in its entirety, to provide: "Tenant shall also pay in the manner set
forth in Section 11.3, its prorata share (as provided in Section 11.2 hereof) of
any and all real estate taxes, as defined in Section 10.3, assessed or imposed,
or which become a lien upon or become chargeable against or payable in
connection with the Property, including without limitation, charges which are
attributable to common areas; provided, however, that with respect to (i)
alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises placed in or upon the
Premises or the Property by Tenant or at Tenant's request, (ii) installation of
trade fixtures, machinery or trade equipment as permitted elsewhere in this
Lease by Tenant or at Tenant's request, and/or (iii) any other matter which, as
a result of Tenant's actions, or Tenant's request, in each of the foregoing
cases described in subclauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 10.2 , results
in an increase in real estate taxes assessed or imposed, or which become a lien
upon or become chargeable against or payable in connection with the Property,
Tenant shall bear such increase, lien or charge fully rather than Tenant's
prorata share (as provided in Section 11.2 hereof). Similarly, with respect to
any matter which, as a result of the actions of a tenant(s) other than Tenant,
or the request by a tenant(s) other than Tenant, results in an increase in real
estate taxes assessed or imposed, or which become a lien upon or become
chargeable against or payable in connection with the Property, Tenant shall have
no responsibility or obligation therefor (prorata or otherwise)."

                  (d) The second sentence of Section 11.2 of the Lease shall be
amended in its entirety, to provide: "Tenant shall pay to Landlord in the manner
set forth in Section 11.3 of the Lease, Tenant's prorata share of expenses in



connection with the maintenance of common areas, which shall be equal to that
proportion which the gross floor area of the Premises bears to the gross floor
area in the Building (i.e., 72.90%), plus any additional costs arising from
special requirements created by Tenant's use of the Premises".

                  3.5 Deletion of Provisions Without Continuing Applicability.
Sections 37 and 38 of the Lease are deleted from the Lease, shall have no
further effect or applicability and Landlord shall not be bound by any of such
provisions or otherwise restricted thereby.

         4. Amendment; Confirmation; Interpretation. To the extent, but only to
the extent, necessary to give effect to the First Amendment and this Second
Amendment, the Lease is deemed amended and modified. Except to the limited
extent amended and modified hereby, the Lease is ratified and confirmed in all
respects and remains extant and in full force and effect.

                  5.6 Waiver. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Second
Amendment shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provision,
whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No
failure to enforce any right or provision hereunder shall preclude or affect the
later enforcement of such right or provision. No waiver shall be binding unless
executed by the party making the waiver.

                  5.7      Time.  Time is of the essence with respect to the

Amendment, the party prevailing in any such proceeding shall be entitled to
recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in
addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

one another and no joint venture, partnership or other collaborative venture is
intended or implied by the provisions of this Second Amendment.

                  5.10 Assignment. Neither party may assign this Second
Amendment nor any of its respective rights, liabilities and obligations under
this Second Amendment without the prior written consent of the other party,

                  5.12 Amendment. No supplement, amendment, modification,
discharge or change of this Second Amendment shall be binding unless executed in
writing by all of the parties.

                  5.13 Authority. If a party to this Second Amendment is a
