FIFTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
Harris Trust and Savings Bank
Chicago, Illinois
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is hereby made to that certain Credit Agreement (as amended,
supplemented, modified or restated from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"),
dated as of September 23, 1997, by and among Comshare, Incorporated (the
"Company") and Comshare Limited (the "Borrowing Subsidiary") (together the
"Borrowers") and Harris Trust and Savings Bank (the "Bank"). All capitalized
terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such
terms have in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrowers have requested that the Bank waive past noncompliance
with and amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Bank will do
so under the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.
1. WAIVER.
The Company has informed the Bank that, as of March 31, 2001, the
Company was not in compliance with Sections 8.8 and 8.9 of the Credit Agreement
(which require, among other things, that the Company maintain a Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio and a Minimum EBITDAL, respectively, as specified therein). The
Bank hereby agrees to waive compliance with Sections 8.8 and 8.9 of the Credit
Agreement as of March 31, 2001, provided that this waiver shall not become
effective unless and until the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3
hereof have been satisfied.
2. AMENDMENT.
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3 hereof, the definition of "EBITDAL" appearing in Section 5.1 of the
Credit Agreement shall be amended by adding the following new sentence
immediately at the end thereof:
"Notwithstanding anything in the immediately
preceding sentence to the contrary, EBITDAL for any period,
which includes the third fiscal quarter of the Company's 2001
fiscal year, shall be increased by up to $892,000 of
non-recurring charges incurred by the Company during such
quarter as severance costs and other expenses."

3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.
The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of
all of the following conditions precedent:
(a) The Borrowers and the Bank shall have executed and
delivered this Amendment.
(b) The Guarantors and each party signatory to that certain
Debt Subordination Agreement dated September 23, 1997 shall have each
executed and delivered to the Bank their consent to this Amendment in
the forms set forth below.
(c) Legal matters incident to the execution and delivery of
this Amendment shall be satisfactory to the Bank and its counsel.
4. REPRESENTATIONS.
In order to induce the Bank to execute and deliver this Amendment, the
Borrowers hereby represent to the Bank that as of the date hereof the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of the Credit Agreement
are and shall be and remain true and correct (except as waiver herein, and
except that the representations contained in Section 6.5 shall be deemed to
refer to the most recent financial statements of the Borrowers delivered to the
Bank) and, except as waived herein, the Borrowers are in compliance with the
terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement or shall result after
giving effect to this Amendment.
5. MISCELLANEOUS.
5.1. The Borrowers heretofore executed and delivered to the Bank the
Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement and certain other Collateral Documents. The
Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that the Liens created and provided for
by the Collateral Documents continue to secure, among other things, the
Obligations arising under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby; and the
Collateral Documents and the rights and remedies of the Bank thereunder, the
obligations of the Borrowers thereunder, and the Liens created and provided for
thereunder remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected, impaired
or discharged hereby. Nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect or
impair the priority of the liens and security interests created and provided for
by the Collateral Documents as to the indebtedness which would be secured
thereby prior to giving effect to this Amendment.
5.2. Except as specifically amended herein, the Credit Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect in accordance with its original terms.
Reference to this specific Amendment need not be made in the Credit Agreement,
the Note, or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith,
or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to or
with respect to the Credit Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the
Credit Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended
hereby.

by the different parties on different counterpart signature pages, all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any of the parties
