valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby

forth in Section 2, the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

order, the following definition of "Products":


                                       1
<PAGE>


        " 'Products': hardware and software products manufactured or distributed
by or bearing any trademark or trade name of International Business Machines
Corporation ("IBM") purchased by Customers from IBM or by MCCI from Pinacor.".

        B. Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the
definition of "Authorized Locations" in its entirety and substituting, in lieu
thereof, the following definition of "Authorized Locations":

        "'Authorized Locations': 4227 Surles Court/IBM Bldg. 685, Durham, North
Carolina 27703, (2) 421 West Alameda Drive, Tempe AZ, 85282, (3) 443 West
Alameda Drive, Tempe, AZ 85282, and (4) 525 West Alameda Drive, Tempe AZ, 85282;
provided, however, any such location shall cease to be an Authorized Location
upon a breach of the covenants specified in Section 7.17 hereof, or upon receipt
by any Loan Party or any Guarantor of a notice described in Section 7.17.".

        C. Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the
definition of "Product Advance" in its entirety and substituting, in lieu
thereof, the following definition of "Product Advance":

        "'Product Advance': any advance of funds made by IBM Credit (excluding
funds committed to be made by IBM Credit under this Agreement for which Products
have not been delivered by IBM to any Customer) for the account of any Customer
of IBM or Pinacor, as the case may be, in respect of an invoice delivered or to
be delivered by IBM or Pinacor to IBM Credit describing Products purchased by
such Customer, including any such advance made as of the date hereof pursuant to
the Pre-Petition Inventory Finance Agreement."

        D. Section 2.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
subsections (A), (C) and (D) in their entirety and substituting, in lieu
thereof, the following subsections (A), (C), and (D):

     "(A) SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, IBM CREDIT
SHALL MAKE PRODUCT ADVANCES IN CONNECTION WITH CUSTOMERS' PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS
UPON AT LEAST A TWO-DAY PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE FROM IBM OR PINACOR, AS THE CASE
MAY BE. EACH CUSTOMER (i) hereby authorizes and directs IBM Credit to pay the
proceeds of Product Advances directly to IBM, in respect of invoices delivered
by IBM to IBM Credit for such Products, by IBM (ii) hereby authorizes and
directs IBM Credit to apply the proceeds of Product Advances to the Customers'
Obligations, in respect of invoices delivered by Pinacor to IBM Credit for such
Products, and (iii) hereby acknowledges that (x) any delivery to IBM Credit of
an invoice by IBM or Pinacor, as the case may be, shall be deemed as a request
for a Product Advance by such Customer, and (y) each such Product Advance
constitutes a loan by IBM Credit to the Customers pursuant to this Agreement as
if the Customers received the proceeds of the Product Advance directly from IBM
Credit.";

        "(C) Each Customer acknowledges that IBM Credit does not warrant the
Collateral. Customers shall be obligated to pay IBM Credit in full even if the
Collateral is defective or fails to conform to the warranties extended by IBM.
The Obligations of Customers shall not be affected by any dispute a Customer may
have with IBM or Pinacor, as the case may



                                       2
<PAGE>

be. No Customer will assert any claim or defense which it may have against IBM
or Pinacor against IBM Credit."; and

        "(D) Each Customer hereby authorizes IBM Credit to collect directly from
IBM and/or Pinacor, as applicable, any credits, rebates, bonuses or discounts
owed by IBM to such Customer ("Supplier Credits"). Any Supplier Credits received
by IBM Credit for a Customer may be applied by IBM Credit to the Outstanding
Product Advances of such Customer, provided, however in no event shall IBM
Credit refund any proceeds of a Supplier Credit until the indefeasible payment
in full of all of the Obligations to or on behalf of IBM Credit. Any Supplier
Credits collected by IBM Credit shall in no way reduce Customers' debt to IBM
Credit in respect of the Outstanding Product Advances until such Supplier
Credits are applied by IBM Credit, which in each case shall be applied promptly
by IBM Credit; provided, however, that in the event such discount, credit,
rebate or bonus must be returned or disgorged or is otherwise unavailable for
application, then Customers' Obligations will be reinstated as if such discount,
credit, rebate or bonus had never been applied.".

        E. Section 8.8 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following provision to the end thereof:

        "provided, further, that all transactions with Non-Filing Subsidiaries
are prohibited other than the transactions expressly contemplated by the Eleris
Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and expressly permitted in
Section 8.19.".

        F. The Agreement is hereby modified by deleting Attachment B in its
entirety and substituting, in lieu thereof, the Attachment B attached hereto.

        SECTION 2. CONDITIONS OF EFFECTIVENESS. This Amendment shall become
effective as of April 13, 2000, and only when, on or before April 24, 2000 (a)
IBM Credit shall have received duly executed counterparts of this Amendment and
