The Parties agree to amend the Loan and Security Agreement between them

not less than $12,750,000.

---------------------------------------------------------------
$250,000. For purposes of this financial
covenant, capitalized software is to be
considered an expense of the Borrower.
DEFINITIONS: "Current assets," and "current liabilities"
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in
accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
"Tangible net worth" means the excess of total
assets over total liabilities, determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, excluding however all assets which
would be classified as intangible assets under
generally accepted accounting principles,
including without limitation goodwill,
licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names,
copyrights, capitalized software and
organizational costs, licences and franchises.
"Quick Assets" means cash on hand or on deposit
in banks, readily marketable securities issued
by the United States, readily marketable
commercial paper rated "A-1" by Standard &
Poor's Corporation (or a similar rating by a
similar rating organization), certificates of
deposit and banker's acceptances, and accounts
receivable (net of allowance for doubtful
accounts).
DEFERRED REVENUES: For purposes of the above quick asset ratio,
deferred revenues shall not be counted as
current liabilities. For purposes of the above
debt to tangible net worth ratio, deferred
revenues shall not be counted in determining
total liabilities but shall be counted in
determining tangible net worth for purposes of
such ratio. For all other purposes deferred
revenues shall be counted as liabilities in
accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
SUBORDINATED DEBT: "Liabilities" for purposes of the foregoing
covenants do not include indebtedness which is
subordinated to the indebtedness to Silicon
under a subordination agreement in form
specified by Silicon or by language in the
instrument evidencing the indebtedness which is
acceptable to Silicon."
3. NEW WARRANTS. The Borrower shall provide Silicon with five-year
warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of Common stock of the Borrower, at a price
per share equal to the market price per share as reflected on the date prior to
the Borrower's execution of this Amendment, on the terms and conditions in the
Warrant to Purchase Stock and related documents being executed concurrently with
this Amendment, which Warrant shall be in addition to the Warrant previously
issued by the Borrower in favor of Silicon.
4. FEE. Borrower shall pay to Silicon a facility fee in the amount of
$7,500 in connection with this Amendment, which shall be in addition to all
interest payable under the Loan Agreement and all other amounts due thereunder,
and which shall not be refundable.

all representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Agreement, as amended
hereby, are true and correct.
