1. DEFINITIONS. All references to the "Agreement" or the "Loan Agreement" in the
Original Loan Agreement and in this Agreement shall be deemed to be references
to the Original Loan Agreement as it is amended hereby and as it may be amended,
restated, extended, renewed, replaced, or otherwise modified from time to time.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given

3. WAIVER OF DEFAULTS. Borrower has notified Administrative Agent that Borrower

as of the end of Borrower's fiscal

referenced financial covenant constitutes an Event of Default. The Borrower has

Section 15.5 as of the end of Borrower's fiscal quarter ended April 5, 2003. The
waivers contained in this Section 3 are specific in intent and are valid only
for the specific purposes for which given. Nothing contained herein obligates
Administrative Agent or any Lender to agree to any additional waivers of any
provisions of any of the Loan Documents, including but not limited to Sections
15.5 and 16.1.7. The waivers contained in this Section are waivers of known
Events of Default only, and shall not operate as a waiver of Administrative
Agent's or any Lenders' right to exercise remedies resulting from (i) existing
and/or continuing Defaults or Events of Default of which Administrative Agent or
such Lender is not actually aware, or (ii) other future Defaults or Events of
Default, whether or not of a similar nature and whether or not known to
Administrative Agent or any Lender.
4. CONSENT TO REDEMPTIONS. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 14.11 of the
Original Loan Agreement, the Required Lenders consent to the redemption by
Xxxxxxx Computer Resources, Inc. of the lesser of (i) Eleven Million One Hundred
Seventy Thousand Dollars ($11,170,000) market value of shares of Xxxxxxx
Computer Resources, Inc.'s common stock, or (ii) One Million (1,000,000) shares
of Xxxxxxx Computer Resources, Inc.'s common stock, in any case if and only if
there is no Existing Default and no Default or Event of Default will occur or is
reasonably likely to occur as a result of such redemption. Such redemption may
occur in one or more redemptions, in each case subject to the conditions set
forth in the preceding sentence. This consent is conditioned upon all such
redemptions being completed on or before the close of business on June, 1, 2004.
The consent provided by the Required Lenders contained in the First Consent to
