may be amended from time to time, between Borrower and Lender (the "Loan

same meanings as in the Loan Agreement.

secured by a Commercial Security Agreement, dated April 10, 1997, and an
Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated April 10, 1997.
Hereinafter, the above-described security documents and guaranties, together
with all other documents securing repayment of the Indebtedness shall be
referred to as the "Security Documents". Hereinafter, the Security Documents,
together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Indebtedness shall

C. Waiver of Financial Covenant Defaults.
1. Lender hereby waives Borrower's existing default under the Loan
Agreement by virtue of Borrower's failure to comply with the; (i)
Adjusted Quick Ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 1999;
(ii) Tangible Net Worth covenant as of the months ended June 30,
1999 through September 30, 1999; and (iii) Profitability covenant
as of the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1999.
Lender's waiver of Borrower's compliance of these covenants shall
apply only to the foregoing period. Accordingly, for the month
ending October 31, 1999, Borrower shall be in compliance with the
Tangible Net Worth covenant and for the quarter ending December
31, 1999, Borrower shall be in compliance with Adjusted Quick
Ratio covenant and Profitability covenant, as amended.
Lender's agreement to waive the above-described defaults (1) in
no way shall be deemed an agreement by the Lender to waive
Borrower's compliance with the above-described covenants as of
all other dates and (2) shall not limit or impair the Lender's
right to demand strict performance of these covenants as of all
other dates and (3) shall not limit or impair the Lender's right
to demand strict performance of all other covenants as of any
date.
4. CONSISTENT CHANGES. The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended
wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.
5. PAYMENT OF LOAN FEE. Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee in the amount of
Seven Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($7,500.00) (the "Loan Fee"),
plus all out-of-pocket expenses. Additionally, in the event Borrower is not in
compliance with the Financial Covenants for the month ending October 31, 1999,
Borrower shall pay an additional fee in the amount of Fifty Thousand and 00/100
Dollars ($50,000.00) (the "Additional Loan Fee").
6. NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER. Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing
below) agrees that it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts
under the Indebtedness.
7. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing
below) understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness,
Lender is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and agreements,
as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified
pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan
Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Lender's agreement to
modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this Loan Modification
Agreement in no way shall obligate Lender to make any future modifications to
the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a
satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the intention of Lender and Borrower to
retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan Documents,
unless the party is expressly released by Lender in writing. No maker, endorser,
or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement. The
terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Loan Modification Agreement, but
also to all subsequent loan modification agreements.
