AMENDMENT NO. 2
TO
RIGHTS AGREEMENT

        Amendment No. 2, dated as of November 26, 2002 (the "Amendment"), to the Rights Agreement, dated as of September 12, 1994 (the "Rights Agreement"), by and between Zamba Corporation (formerly known as Racotek, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A. (formerly known as Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A.), as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent").

WITNESSETH:

        WHEREAS, the Company has changed its name from "Racotek, Inc." to "Zamba Corporation" since the original date of the Rights Agreement and desires to amend the Rights Agreement to reflect this name change; and

        WHEREAS, the Rights Agent has changed its name from "Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A." to "Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A." since the original date of the Rights Agreement and desires to amend the Rights Agreement to reflect this name change; and

        WHEREAS, on November 26, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company, in accordance with Section 27 of the Rights Agreement, determined it to be desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to supplement and amend certain provisions of the Rights Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:

            Section 1.    Amendments to Rights Agreement.    The following provisions of the Rights Agreement are amended as follows:

            (a)  The definition of "Acquiring Person" in Section 1(a) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

            "Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, but shall not include (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (iv) any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan, (v) any Common Shares beneficially owned by the Company's Chairman, Joseph B. Costello (hereinafter "Costello"), (vi) following the death of Costello, any Person directly receiving Common Shares from Costello pursuant to the last will and testament of Costello or, if no such will and testament exists at the time of his death, then pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution as may be applicable to his estate upon his death, or (vii) any Common Shares acquired by Entrx Corporation (hereinafter "Entrx") with respect to or upon its conversion of the Convertible Secured Promissory Note ("Note"), dated November 4, 2002, issued to it by the Company pursuant to the Loan Agreement, dated of even date with the Note; provided, however, that if Costello (or any Person directly receiving Common Shares from Costello pursuant to clause (vi) above) shall become the Beneficial Owner of 49.99% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, then Costello (or any Person directly receiving Common Shares from Costello pursuant to clause (vi) above) shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person; and further provided, that if Entrx or any of its Affiliates or Associates or their respective successors or assigns or any Person claiming through or on behalf of Entrx shall become the Beneficial Owner of

1



    39.99% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, then Entrx shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall become an "Acquiring Person" as the result of an acquisition of Common Shares by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person and such Person's Affiliates and Associates to 20% or more (or, with respect to Costello, 49.99% or more; or, with respect to Entrx, including its Affiliates and Associates and any Person claiming through or on behalf of Entrx, under the circumstances described in (vii) above, 39.99% or more) of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding; provided, however, that if a Person, together with such Person's Affiliates and Associates, shall become the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more (or, with respect to Costello, 49.99% or more; or, with respect to Entrx, including its Affiliates and Associates and any Person claiming through Entrx, under the circumstances described in (vii) above, 39.99% or more) of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding by reason of share purchases by the Company and shall, after such share purchases by the Company, such Person, together with its Affiliates and Associates, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares of the Company, then such Person shall be deemed to be an "Acquiring Person."

            (b)  The legend set forth in Section 3(c) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

      "This certificate also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to certain rights (the "Rights") as set forth in a Rights Agreement between Zamba Corporation and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., dated as of September 12, 1994, as amended to date (the "Rights Agreement"), the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal executive offices of Zamba Corporation. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such Rights will be evidenced by separate certificates and will no longer be evidenced by this certificate.

As described in Section 11(a)(ii) of the Rights Agreement, Rights beneficially owned by any Person who becomes an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) and certain other Persons shall become null and void."

            (c)  The name and address of the Company set forth in Section 26 of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

      "Zamba Corporation
      3033 Excelsior Boulevard, Suite 200
      Minneapolis, MN 55416
      Attention: Corporate Secretary"

            (d)  The name of the Rights Agent set forth in Section 26 of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

      "Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A.
      161 North Concord Exchange
      South St. Paul, MN 55075-0738
      Attention: Stock Transfer Department"

            Section 2.    Amendment to Form of Right Certificate.    The first page of the Form of Right Certificate to purchase Preferred Shares set forth in Exhibit B attached to the Rights Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as set forth in the attachment hereto.

            Section 3.    Amendment to Summary of Rights.    The form of Summary of Rights to Purchase Preferred Shares set forth in Exhibit C attached to the Rights Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as set forth in the attachment hereto.

            Section 4.    Rights Agreement as Amended.    The term "Agreement" as used in the Rights Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Rights Agreement as amended hereby. This Amendment shall be effective as of the date hereof and, except as set forth herein, the Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be otherwise unaffected hereby.

            Section 5.    Counterparts.    This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be duly executed and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of the dates set forth below.

Exhibit C


SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE
PREFERRED SHARES

On September 7, 1994, as amended on January 29, 2002, and November 26, 2002, the Board of Directors of Racotek, Inc., the predecessor-in-interest to Zamba Corporation (the "Company") declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Shares"), of the Company. In addition, one Right shall be issued with each Common Share that becomes outstanding between the Record Date and the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date and the Final Expiration Date (as such terms are hereinafter defined). Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from The Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Shares"), of the Company, at a price of $25.00 per one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement"), as amended through the date hereof, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as successor-in-interest to Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent").

Until the earlier to occur of (i) 10 days following a public announcement or disclosure that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an "Acquiring Person"), has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more (or 49.99%, in the case of Joseph B. Costello or any "Person" directly receiving Common Shares from Joseph B. Costello, or 39.99%, in the case of Entrx Corporation or any of its "Affiliates" or "Associates" or their respective successors or assigns or any Person claiming through or on behalf of Entrx Corporation, with "Person," "Affiliates," and "Associates" bearing the meanings set forth in the Rights Agreement) of the outstanding Common Shares (the date of such announcement or disclosure being the "Shares Acquisition Date") or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors prior to such time as any person becomes an Acquiring Person) following the announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of 20% or more (or 49.99%, in the case of Joseph B. Costello or any Person directly receiving Common Shares from Joseph B. Costello, or 39.99%, in the case of Entrx Corporation or any of its Affiliates or Associates or their respective successors or assigns or any Person claiming through or on behalf of Entrx Corporation) of such outstanding Common Shares (the earlier of such dates being called the "Distribution Date"), the Rights will be evidenced by Common Share certificates with a copy of this Summary of Rights attached thereto.

The Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferred with and only with the Common Shares. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), new Common Share certificates issued after the Record Date, upon transfer or new issuance of Common Shares, will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference. Until the distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the surrender for transfer of any certificates for Common Shares, even without such notation or a copy of this Summary of Rights being attached thereto, will also constitute the transfer of the rights associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificate. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights ("Right Certificates") will be mailed to holders of records of the Common Shares as of the Close of Business on the Distribution Date and such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights.

The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on September 12, 2004 (the "Final Expiration Date"), unless the final Expiration Date is extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company, in each case, as described below.

The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Preferred Shares or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the



Preferred Shares, (ii) upon the grant to holders of the Preferred Shares of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Preferred Shares at a price, or securities convertible into Preferred Shares with a conversion price, less than the then current market price of the Preferred Shares or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the Preferred Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assts (excluding regular periodic cash dividends paid out of earnings or retained earnings or dividends payable in Preferred Shares) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above).

The number of outstanding Rights and the number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share issuable upon exercise of each Right are also subject to adjustment in the vent of a stock dividend on the common Shares payable in Common Shares or subdivisions, consolidations or combinations of the Common Shares occurring, in any such case, prior to the Distribution Date.

Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each Preferred Share will be entitled to a quarterly dividend payment of 100 times the dividend declared per Common Share. In the event of liquidation, each Preferred Share will be entitled to a $1.00 preference, and thereafter the holders of the Preferred Shares will be entitled to an aggregate payment of 100 times the aggregate payment made per Common Share. Each Preferred Share will have 100 votes, voting together with the Common Shares. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which Common Shares are exchanged, each Preferred Share will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount received per Common Share. These Rights are protected by customary antidilution provisions.

Because of the nature of the Preferred Shares' dividend, liquidation and voting rights, the value of the one one-hundredth interest in a Preferred Share purchasable upon exercise of each Right should approximate the value of one Common Share.

In the event that any person becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision will be made so that each holder of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise that number of Common Share having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. If the Company does not have authorized but unissued Common Shares sufficient to satisfy such obligation to issue Common Shares, the Company is obligated to deliver upon payment of the exercise price of a Right an amount of cash or other securities equivalent in value to the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a right.

In the event that, after the Distribution Date, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction by an Acquiring Person, or 50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are sold to an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person, will thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction will have a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.

At any time after any person becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, the board of Directors of the Company may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one Common Share, or one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (or of a share of a class or series of the Company's preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges), per Right (subject to adjustment).

With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase Price. No fractional Preferred Shares will be issued (other than fractions which are integral multiples of one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share, which may, at the election of the Company, be evidenced by depository receipts) and in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the Preferred Shares on the last trading day prior to the date of exercise.

At any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on the tenth day following the Shares Acquisition Date and (ii) the expiration date of the Rights, the Board of Directors of the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.005 per Right (the "Redemption



Price"). The redemption of the Rights may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, and so long as, following the Shares Acquisition Date a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are persons who were members of the Board immediately prior to the Shares Acquisition Date, then the Board may extend the period to redeem the Rights, except that after the period for redemption of the Rights has expired, the Board may not amend the Agreement to extend the period for redemption of the Rights. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price. Additionally, the Rights shall not be exercisable for Common Shares upon a person becoming an Acquiring Person, until the Company's right to redeem the Rights has terminated.

The terms of the Rights may be amended by the Board of directors of the Company without the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that from and after such time as the period for redemption of the Rights has expired, no such amendment may adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Rights (other than an Acquiring Person).

Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.

A copy of the Rights Agreement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated September    , 1994. A copy of the Rights Agreement is available free of charge from the Company. This summary description of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
