1. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS. Among other indebtedness which may be
owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is indebted to Bank pursuant to a loan
arrangement dated as of March 16, 1999, evidenced by, among other documents, a
certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 16,
1999 by and among the Borrower, Personics Corporation, and the Bank (as amended
to date, the "Loan Agreement"). The Loan Agreement established in favor of the
Borrower a revolving line of credit in the maximum principal amount of One
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) (the "Revolving Line").
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same
meaning as in the Loan Agreement.
2. Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank shall be referred to
as the "Indebtedness".
3. DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL AND GUARANTIES. Repayment of the Indebtedness is
secured by the Collateral as described in the Loan Agreement (together with any
other collateral security granted to Bank, the "Security Documents").
4. Hereinafter, the Security Documents, together with all other documents
evidencing or securing the Indebtedness shall be referred to as the "Existing
Loan Documents".
5. DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.
A. Modification(s) to Loan Agreement.

waiver of Borrower's compliance of said covenants
shall apply only to the foregoing periods.
Bank's agreement to waive the above-described
compliance (i) shall not be deemed an agreement by
Bank to waive Borrower's compliance with the
above-described covenants as of any other dates, (ii)
shall not limit or impair Bank's right to demand
strict performance of these covenants as of any other
dates, and (iii) shall not limit or impair Bank's
right to demand strict performance of all other
covenants as of any date.

such EXIM Eligible Foreign Accounts."
4. The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the
following text appearing as Section 6.2:

agreement between Borrower and Bank or knowledge of
an event that materially adversely affects the value
of the Intellectual Property.
(b) At such times as outstanding Advances exist and
prior to the initial Advance, within 25 days after
the last day of each month, Borrower will deliver to
Bank a Borrowing Base Certificate signed by a
Responsible Officer in the form of Exhibit C, with

at Borrower's expense at such times as outstanding
Advances exist, but the audits will be conducted no
more often than annually (or every 6 months if the
