The following defined terms in Section 1.1 of the Agreement are hereby amended to read as follows:
"Equipment Maturity Date" October 18, 2004.

Subsections (i) and (ii) of Section 2.1(b) of the Agreement are amended in its entirety to read as follows:
(b) Equipment Advances.

(i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time from the date hereof through the Revolving Maturity Date, Bank agrees to make advances (each an "Equipment Advance" and, collectively, the "Equipment Advances") to Borrower in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the Equipment Line. Each Equipment Advance shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the invoice amount of equipment, furniture, software licenses and corporate purposes approved by Bank from time to time (which Borrower shall, in any case, have purchased within 90 days of the date of the corresponding Equipment Advance), excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts, soft costs, and installation expense. The foregoing notwithstanding, the aggregate amount of all Equipment Advances used to finance software shall not exceed the lesser of (A) twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate amount of the outstanding Equipment Advances, or (B) $500,000.

(ii) Interest shall accrue from the date of each Equipment Advance at the rate specified in Section 2.3(a), and shall be payable monthly on the eighteenth (18^th) day of each month. Any Equipment Advances (except for Equipment Advances used to finance software) that are outstanding on April 18, 2002 (the "First Term Date") shall be payable in thirty (30) equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning on May 18, 2002, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Equipment Maturity Date. Any Equipment Advances used to finance software that are outstanding on the First Term Date shall be payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning on May 18, 2002, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until paid. Any Equipment Advances (except for Equipment Advances used to finance software) drawn after the First Term Date that are outstanding on the Revolving Maturity Date shall be payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning on November 18, 2002, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Equipment Maturity Date. Any Equipment Advances used to finance software drawn after the First Term Date that are outstanding on the Revolving Maturity Date shall be payable in eighteen (18) equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning on November 18, 2002, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter through the Equipment Maturity Date, at which time all amounts due under this Section 2.1(b) and any other amounts due under this Agreement shall be immediately due and payable.

All agreements executed in connection with the Cash Management Sublimit shall be, in form and substance, acceptable to Bank, in its sole discretion. Any amounts actually paid by Bank in respect of the Cash Management Sublimit shall, when paid, constitute an Advance under the Committed Revolving Line.
Section 2.2 of the Agreement is amended to read as follows:

If at any time or for any reason the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances plus the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit plus the aggregate amount outstanding in respect of the FX Sublimit exceeds the lesser of (a) the Committed Revolving Line, or (b) the greater of (i) Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.
Subsections (i) and (ii) of Section 2.3(a) of the Agreement are amended to read as follows:
(a) Interest Rates.

(i) Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), Advances which are Prime Rate Advances (as such term is used herein) shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus one and one-half percent (1.50%). Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), Advances which are LIBOR Rate Advances shall bear interest at the rate specified in Section 2.5(b).

(ii) Equipment Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Equipment Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus two percent (2.0%).
The second sentence of Section 2.5(b) of the Agreement is amended to read as follows:
The outstanding principal balance of each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest until principal is due (computed daily on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed) at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 500 basis points for such LIBOR Rate Advance.
The last paragraph of Section 6.3 is amended to read as follows:
Bank shall have a right from time to time hereafter to audit Borrower's Accounts and appraise Collateral at Borrower's expense, provided that such audits will be conducted no more often than every twelve (12) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Section 6.8 of the Agreement is amended to read as follows:

If, from the date of this Amendment through 90 days after the date of this Amendment, Borrower has transferred an amount equal to Zero Dollars ($0) or any amount less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) to one or more deposit accounts with Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank, within 90 days after the date of this Amendment, an additional Facility Fee equal to $18,125.
Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof. Borrower ratifies and reaffirms the continuing effectiveness of all promissory notes, guaranties, security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, environmental agreements, and all other instruments, documents and agreements entered into in connection with the Agreement.
