     1. The Borrower, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent entered into the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 1, 1998 (as amended,

shall have the meanings accorded such terms contained or incorporated in the
Credit Agreement).

     2. The Borrower has failed to, or anticipates that it will fail to, perform
or observe certain covenants and agreements contained in the Credit Agreement,
which failures have resulted or will result in Events of Default under the
Credit Agreement.

     3. The Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
forbear, until May 2, 2003, from exercising their rights and remedies under the
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to such Events of
Default, and the Lenders, subject to and based upon the agreements,
representations, terms and conditions herein, agree to such request. In
furtherance of such request, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement, all on the terms and subject
to the conditions of this Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

     In consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, and
other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are
acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

     SECTION 1 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE BORROWER.

     1.1 Outstanding Balance. As of the date of this Agreement, the Borrower
owes the Lenders $129,400,000.00 in principal amount of General Revolving Loans
under the Credit Agreement and $302,610.95 in accrued and unpaid interest and
fees under the Credit Agreement, and has outstanding a Letter of Credit with a

without limitation, attorneys' fees and fees of financial advisors) is, as of

<PAGE>


hereof, owing without claim, counterclaim, right of recoupment, abatement,
reduction or set-off of any kind or nature.

     1.2 Default. The Borrower acknowledges that Events of Default have occurred
and are continuing as follows:

     (a) under Section 10.1(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower failed to
comply with Section 9.7 (Consolidated Total Debt/Consolidated EBITDA Ratio) of
the Credit Agreement for the Testing Period ended December 31, 2002;

     (b) under Section 10.1(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower failed to
comply with Section 9.8 (Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) of the Credit Agreement
for the Testing Period ended December 31, 2002; and

     (c) under Section 10.1(j) of the Credit Agreement, the existence of events
and circumstances that have had a Material Adverse Effect upon the Borrower
(collectively, the "Certain Existing Defaults").

In addition, the Borrower anticipates that it will not be in compliance with the
covenants set forth in Section 9.7 and 9.8 of the Credit Agreement, in each case
for the Testing Period ended March 31, 2003, which noncompliance will result in
additional Events of Default under Section 10.1(c) of the Credit Agreement (the
"Anticipated Defaults"). As used herein, "Forbearance Defaults" means (i) the
Certain Existing Defaults, (ii) the Anticipated Defaults, and (iii) any other
Default or Event of Default that has occurred and was continuing prior to the
date hereof.

     SECTION 2 FORBEARANCE.

     2.1 Forbearance. During the Forbearance Period (as defined below), neither
the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders will exercise any of their rights or
remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents solely with
respect to the Forbearance Defaults. For purposes of this Agreement: (i) the
"Forbearance Period" means the period commencing on the Effective Date (as
defined below) and ending on the Termination Date (as defined below); (ii) the
"Effective Date" means the date first written above or such later date as each
of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 hereof has been satisfied;
and (iii) the "Termination Date" means the earlier of (a) May 2, 2003, and (b)
the date the Forbearance Period is terminated upon the occurrence of any of the
events described in Section 2.2 below. Nothing in this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver by the Lenders of any Default or Event of Default under the
Credit Agreement (including the Forbearance Defaults), whether now existing or
hereafter arising. This Agreement only constitutes an agreement by the Lenders
to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement
and the other Credit Documents based upon the Forbearance Defaults on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     2.2 Termination of Forbearance. Upon the occurrence of any Termination
Event (as defined below), the Required Lenders are entitled to, without prior
notice to the Borrower, immediately terminate the Forbearance Period, unless
such Termination Event is an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(h) of
the Credit Agreement, in which case the Forbearance


                                       2
<PAGE>


Period will automatically terminate without demand or notice of any kind. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Termination Event" means:

     (a) the Borrower shall (i) default in the payment when due of any principal
of the Loans or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any Unpaid Drawing;
or (ii) default, and such default shall continue for five or more days, in the
payment when due of any interest on the Loans or any Fees or any other amounts
owing under the Credit Agreement or under any other Credit Document;

     (b) the Borrower shall default in the due performance or observance by it
of any term, covenant or agreement contained in Section 9 of the Credit
Agreement (other than Sections 9.7 through 9.11, inclusive);

     (c) the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.1(h) of the
Credit Agreement;

     (d) one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against the Borrower
and/or any of its Subsidiaries involving a liability (whether or not covered by
insurance) of $125,000 or more in the aggregate for all such judgments and
decrees for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries;

     (e) failure by the Borrower to comply with any of its other agreements
described in Section 4; or

     (f) any representation or warranty made by any Credit Party under this
Agreement or any agreement, instrument or other document executed or delivered
by any Credit Party in connection with this Agreement is untrue or incorrect in
any material respect when made or any schedule, certificate, statement, report,
financial data, notice or writing furnished at any time in connection herewith
by any Credit Party to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent is untrue or
incorrect in any material respect on the date as of which the facts set forth
therein are stated or certified.

     2.3 Effect at End of Forbearance Period. When the Forbearance Period ends,
all Obligations may be declared immediately due and payable as provided in the
Credit Agreement, without notice or demand, and without regard to any matters
transpiring during the Forbearance Period or the financial condition or
prospects of the Borrower as of such date, and the Lenders will be fully
entitled to exercise any rights and remedies they may have under the Credit
Agreement, the other Credit Documents or applicable law.

     2.4 No Waiver.

     (a) The Lenders have not waived, are not by this Agreement waiving, and
have no present intention of waiving, any Events of Default that may be
continuing on the date hereof or any Events of Default that may occur after the
date hereof (whether the same or similar to the Forbearance Defaults or
otherwise), and the Lenders have not agreed to forbear with respect to any of
their rights or remedies concerning any Events of Default (other than, during
the Forbearance Period, the Forbearance Defaults), that may have occurred or are
continuing as of the date hereof or that may occur after the date hereof.


                                       3
<PAGE>


     (b) Subject to Section 2.1 above (solely with respect to the Forbearance
Defaults), the Lenders reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to exercise
any or all of their rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the other
Credit Documents and applicable law as a result of any Events of Default that
may exist and be continuing on the date hereof or any Event of Default that may
occur after the date hereof, and the Lenders have not waived any of such rights
or remedies, and nothing in this Agreement, and no delay on their part in
exercising any such rights or remedies, should be construed as a waiver of any
such rights or remedies.

     (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will not
claim that any prior action or course of conduct by the Lenders constitutes an
agreement or obligation to continue such action or course of conduct in the
future. The Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders have made no commitment as to
how or whether the Forbearance Defaults will be resolved upon or following the
Termination Date.

     (d) Nothing in this Agreement, other than the provisions in Section 3 below
and except as provided in Section 4 below, shall be construed as an amendment to
the Credit Agreement or any Credit Document. The Credit Agreement and the other
Credit Documents are in full force and effect, as modified by the provisions in
Section 3 and Section 4 below, and shall remain in full force and effect unless
and until an agreement modifying such documents is executed by applicable Credit
Party and the Lenders or Administrative Agent, as applicable.

of the payment to drawing to reimburse such Letter of Credit Issuer for such
payment and/or drawing. During the Forbearance Period and thereafter, any Letter
of Credit, other than the renewal of the existing Letter of Credit with a Stated
Amount of $527,500.03 and other than a new Letter of Credit with the Stated
Amount of $527,500 as reflected in the Cash Budget, shall be issued in the sole
and absolute discretion of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

     4.7 Real Property Leases. Notwithstanding anything in the Credit Agreement
to the contrary, during the Forbearance Period and thereafter, neither the
Borrower nor any of its subsidiaries will enter into any new leases of real

change any of its existing standing transfer orders with existing banks without
the approval of the Administrative Agent; and (iv) all funds held by or on
behalf of the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries in any account other

account with the Administrative Agent.

     4.9 Foreign Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Credit Agreement or in any previously provided waiver or consent, during the
Forbearance Period and thereafter: (i) neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall engage in any transaction (including without limitation any
disposition or winding down of operations) involving any Foreign Subsidiary of
the Borrower located in Canada or the United Kingdom without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, provided that a
liquidation or other dissolution of MCSi Europe Limited shall not require such
prior written consent, and it being expressly understood that such liquidation
or other dissolution of MCSi Europe Limited shall not constitute an Event of
Default under Section 10.1(h) of the Credit Agreement; and (ii) neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall make any further loans or advances
to, capital contributions to or other investments in, any Foreign Subsidiary
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required
Lenders.

     4.10 Eligible Transferees. As contemplated by the definition of "Eligible

definition of "Change of Control", the Required Lenders hereby consent to the
appointment of D. Gordon Strickland as successor to Michael E. Peppel as Chief
Executive Officer of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything in
the Credit Agreement to the contrary, if after the date hereof D. Gordon
Strickland shall cease to be the Chief Executive Officer of the Borrower for any
reason whatsoever, an immediate Event of Default shall occur under the Credit
Agreement unless a successor acceptable to the Required Lenders in their sole
and absolute discretion is expeditiously appointed to such office. In addition,
if at any time after the Effective Date the person serving in the capacity as
Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower ceases to be acceptable to the Required
Lenders, then an immediate Event of Default shall occur under the Credit
Agreement, it being expressly understood that Joseph Geraghty serving in the
capacity as Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower is acceptable to the

the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders

or cause any lien to arise under any provision of any material agreement or
instrument binding upon the Borrower or upon any of its property. This Agreement
and the Credit Agreement are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective
terms.

     5.2 No Claims, etc. Neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party has any
claim or offset against, or defense or counterclaim to, any of their respective
obligations or liabilities under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit

affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors and assigns.

     5.3 Insurance Policies. The insurance policies of the Borrower listed on
Schedule I attached hereto are in full force and effect.

     SECTION 6 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

Agreement and the commencement of the Forbearance Period are subject to the
following:

                                       10
<PAGE>


     (b) certified copies of the resolutions of the Borrower authorizing this
Agreement;

thereafter be closed by the Borrower and remain closed.

     SECTION 7 MISCELLANEOUS.

     7.1 Captions. The recitals to this Agreement and the section captions used
in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not affect the construction of
this Agreement.

     7.2 Governing Law; Severability. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OHIO, NOTWITHSTANDING ITS
CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or
invalid under such law, such provision will be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

     7.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts and each such
counterpart will be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together
constitute but one and the same Agreement.

     7.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon the Borrower,
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and
assigns, and inures to the sole benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns. The Borrower
has no right to assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement.

     7.5 Continued Effectiveness. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement are not intended to and do not serve to
effect a novation as to the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document. The
parties to this Agreement expressly do not intend to extinguish the Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document. Instead, the parties to this Agreement
expressly intend to reaffirm the indebtedness created under the Credit Agreement
and the other Credit Documents. The Credit Agreement and the other Credit
Documents remain in full force and effect and the terms and provisions of the
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents are ratified and confirmed.

     7.6 Release. The Borrower fully releases, remises, acquits, irrevocably
waives and forever discharges each of the Lenders and Administrative Agent,
together with their respective predecessors, successors, assigns, subsidiaries,
affiliates and agents and all of their respective past, present and future
officers, directors, shareholders, employees, contractors and attorneys and the
predecessors, heirs, successors and assigns of each of them, from and with
respect to any and all actions and causes of action, suits, disputes,
controversies, claims, debts, sums of money, offset rights, defenses to payment,
agreements, promises, notes, bonds, bills, covenants, losses, damages,
judgments, executions and demands of whatever nature, known or unknown, whether
in contract, in tort or otherwise, at law or in equity, for money damages or
dues, recovery of property, or specific performance, in respect of the
Forbearance Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby, all the foregoing being with full knowledge
and understanding of the circumstances and effect thereof and after having
consulted legal counsel with respect thereto.

     7.7 Tolling. Any and all statute of limitations, repose or similar legal
constraints on the time by which a claim must be filed, a person given notice
thereof, or asserted, that expire, run or lapse during the Forbearance Period on
any claims that the Lenders may have against the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any person related to any of them (collectively, the
"Forbearance Period Statutes of Limitation") will be tolled during the
Forbearance Period. The Borrower (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries)
waives any defense it may have against the Lenders under the Forbearance Period
Statutes of Limitation, applicable law or otherwise solely as to the expiration,
running or lapsing of the Forbearance Period Statutes of Limitation during the
Forbearance Period.

     7.8 Revival Of Obligations. If all or any part of any payment under or on
account of the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, this Agreement or
any agreement, instrument or other document executed or delivered by Borrower in
connection with this Agreement is invalidated, set aside, declared or found to
be void or voidable or required to be repaid to the issuer or to any trustee,
custodian, receiver, conservator, master, liquidator or any other person
pursuant to any bankruptcy law or pursuant to any common law or equitable cause
then, to the extent of such invalidation, set aside, voidness, voidability or
required repayment, such payment would be deemed to not have been paid, and the
obligations of the Borrower in respect thereof would be immediately and
automatically revived without the necessity of any action by the Lenders.
