Exhibit 4.3

                      FIRST AMENDMENT TO SECURITY AGREEMENT
                      AND APPOINTMENT OF AGENT FOR HOLDERS

     This First Amendment to the Security Agreement And Appointment of Agent For
Holders dated January 25, 2002 (the  "SECURITY  AGREEMENT")  by and between Ebiz
Enterprises, Inc., Jones Business Systems, Inc. (collectively,  the "BORROWER"),
First  Financial  Equity  Corporation  ("FFEC") and those lenders to the Company
listed on the  signature  pages to the Security  Agreement  (each a "HOLDER" and
collectively  the  "HOLDERS") is dated and effective as of the ___ day of April,
2002. All terms used, but not otherwise defined herein,  shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Security Agreement.

                                    RECITALS

     A.   The Canopy Group,  Inc.  ("CANOPY")  holds a properly  perfected first
          priority security interest in all of the assets of JBSI and a properly
          perfected  security interest in all of the assets of EBIZ subject only
          to the prepetition first priority position of Ingram Micro, Inc. FFEC,
          as Agent for the Holders, holds a properly perfected security interest
          in all of  Borrower's  assets.  FFEC and Canopy have  entered  into an
          intercreditor  agreement which addresses various matters regarding the
          seniority of their relative  security  interests and their  respective
          rights to property serving as their collateral.

     B.   Borrower has negotiated with Canopy for a new revolving line of credit
          in  the  initial  amount  of  $500,000,  subject  to  approval  by the
          Bankruptcy  Court, and which may be renewed,  extended or increased as
          agreed to by Canopy and Borrower  (the "NEW  LINE").  The parties have
          determined  that the funding  offered by the New Line is critical  for
          Borrower's financial and business operations.

     C.   To complete the transaction  for the New Line,  Borrower must grant to
          Canopy  a  first  lien   priority   position  in  all  of   Borrower's
          post-petition accounts receivable. Borrower requests that the security
          interest in Borrower's post-petition accounts receivable held by FFEC,
          as Agent for the Holders,  be subordinated to the security interest in
          the  post-petition  accounts  receivable to be granted to Canopy under
          the New Line (the "SUBORDINATION").

     D.   FFEC and Holders have  determined it to be in their best  interests to
          grant the Subordination.

     E.   FFEC  and  Holders  hereby  approve  the   Subordination  and  Holders
          authorize FFEC, as Agent,  to take all necessary  action to effect the
          Subordination.

                                    AGREEMENT

     NOW THEREFORE,  for and in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of  which  are  hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. A new Section 1.1 is hereby added to the Security  Agreement  and states
as follows:

               1.1 SUBORDINATION OF SECURITY INTERESTS. Notwithstanding anything
          to the contrary  contained  herein,  the security  interest granted to
          Agent hereunder in all of Borrower's post-petition accounts receivable
          shall be and is hereby  subordinated to the security  interest granted
          to Canopy in all of Borrower's post-petition accounts receivable under
          the New Line.

     2. Except as otherwise  amended hereby,  the Security  Agreement remains in
full force and effect.

     3. This First Amendment may be executed in one or more  counterparts and by
original or facsimile  signature,  each of which will constitute an original and
all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  this First Amendment has been executed by each of the
parties as of the day and year first above written.
