A. Effective as of December 14, 1998, Employee and the Company entered
into that certain Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the "FIRST RSPA")

a portion of the purchase price for shares of the Company's restricted stock
purchased by Employee on August 13, 1999 (the "SECOND NOTE").
D. The Company and Employee desire to amend the First RSPA and the First
Note and Second Note in certain respects as set forth herein.
Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and
other consideration, the value and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
the Company and Employee hereby agree as follows:
1. Schedule 1.1 to the First RSPA is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as set forth on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto.

entirety as set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto.
3. There is hereby added to the First RSPA a new Section 4.11, which

4.11 Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or
other agreements to the contrary, any unvested Shares shall vest and the
Restrictions shall lapse as of immediately before the closing of a
transaction that constitutes a Change in Control (as defined in the
Employment Agreement), or upon a Change in Control other than a
transaction, in any case that occurs during Purchaser's employment by
the Company or any of its affiliates or within 90 days thereafter.
Accordingly, the Company will defer its repurchase rights hereunder for
at least such 90 day period.

4. The Employment Agreement referenced in the First RSPA, as amended,
shall be the Employment Agreement between Employee and Enterprise Profit
Solutions Corporation dated as of December 10, 1999.
5. Effective as of immediately before the closing of the initial public
offering of shares of the Company or its successor or affiliate, all
Restrictions will lapse, and vesting will occur, with respect to (i) the portion
of the Original Shares and that would otherwise be scheduled to vest for the
final "Measurement Period" under the First RSPA.
6. Employee will be permitted, in his discretion, to (a) defer any
payment of interest accrued on the First Note and Second Note and any other
indebtedness of Employee incurred in connection with purchase of any shares from
the Company or any successor or affiliate (collectively, the "PURCHASE DEBT")
until the last principal of the Purchase Debt is paid; (b) extend the maturity
of the Purchase Debt by ten years if Employee's employment with all affiliates
of the Company and their successors terminates for any reason (and for this
purpose, an affiliate of the Company is an entity controlling, controlled by, or
under common control with the Company); and (c) pay any principal or interest on
the Purchase Debt at any time or from time to time by surrendering to the
Company or its successor or affiliate any vested shares of capital stock of the
Company or any successor or affiliate, in which case the principal or interest,
as specified by Employee, will be reduced by the aggregate fair market value of
such shares surrendered, and for this purpose the fair market value of such
shares will be the average closing price of such type of shares on the principal
exchange or market system upon which they trade for the previous 20 trading days
(or such shorter period of time as the stock has been so traded), and if not so
traded, the value determined and documented to Employee in writing by the
Company's board of directors in good faith by reference, if applicable, to the
Purchase Price under the Company's Stockholder Agreement and any other relevant
factors, but without any discount for minority interest or lack of liquidity.
7. The 12,151 shares of Common Stock of the Company purchased by
Employee from the Company pursuant to that certain Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement dated December 14, 19998 are vested.

SCHEDULE 4
TO AMENDMENT AGREEMENT
BASIC TERMS.
VESTING. The Shares consist of 265,518 Time Vesting Shares (as
identified on Schedule 1.1). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, the Restrictions applicable to the Shares will lapse, and the
Shares will vest, if and when the conditions to vesting of the Shares, as set
forth in this Schedule 4, are met. However, except as set forth in this Schedule
4, in order for any Shares eligible for vesting for any Measurement Period to
vest, the Purchaser must have remained an employee of the Company, or an entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company (an
"AFFILIATE"), from the date hereof through the last day of that Measurement
Period. In addition, as a condition to each and every vesting of Shares, the
Purchaser must execute and deliver to the Company a release, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Company, releasing the Company and all of its
Affiliates and their employees, officers and directors, and the successors and
assigns of each of them, from any claims or liabilities arising from or in
connection with the employment of the Purchaser by the Company or any of its
Affiliates.
Any vesting for a Measurement Period will be effective as of the close
of business on the last day of that Measurement Period. Fractional vested Shares
will be carried forward and combined to constitute whole vested Shares that can
be issued, or cashed out by the Company at fair market value following
determination of whether any performance requirements associated with the last
Measurement Period have been met.
TIME VESTING SHARES
On the last day of each Measurement Period set forth in the table below,
subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Restrictions will lapse
with respect to the number of Time Vesting Shares (as set forth in Schedule 1.1)
set forth opposite that Measurement Period below.

VESTING UPON CERTAIN TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT:
If employment of the Purchaser with the Employer is terminated by the
Employer without "Cause" or by the Purchaser with "Good Reason" (each as defined
in the Employment Agreement), the Restrictions will immediately lapse and
vesting will immediately occur with respect to all of the Shares not already
vested. If employment of the Purchaser with the Employee terminates as a result
of the Purchaser's death or Disability (as defined in the

Employment Agreement), the Restrictions will immediately lapse with respect to
half of the Shares not then already vested.
