                                    PREAMBLE

                  The Borrower has requested Foothill to amend the Loan and

Accordingly, the Borrower and Foothill hereby agree as follows:

                  1. DEFINITIONS. All terms used herein which are defined in the

                           "2.3 TERM LOAN. (a) On the Closing Date, Foothill
                  made a term loan (the "Initial Term Loan") to the Borrower in
                  the original principal amount of $5,000,000, of which
                  $2,222,000 is outstanding as of December 14, 1999. On March 8,

                  make available a second term loan (the "Additional Term Loan"
                  and together with the Initial Term Loan, the "A Term Loan") to
                  the Borrower in the original principal amount of $1,300,000.

                  request (pursuant to the terms of SECTION 2.9), at any time
                  (i) in the case of an A Term Loan, on or after December 22,
                  1999 but before September 30, 2002 and (ii) in the case of a B
                  Term Loan, on or after December 22, 1999 but before December

                  the B Term Loan will be made in not more than three
                  borrowings. Each request for a borrowing must specify (i)
                  whether such Term Loan is an A Term Loan or a B Term Loan;
                  (ii) in the case of a B Term Loan, the amount of the requested
                  Term Loan, which must be in increments of at least $250,000;
                  (iii) the requested funding date of the Term Loan; (iv)
                  whether the Term Loan is to constitute a Eurodollar Rate Loan
                  or a Reference Rate Loan; and (v) in the case of an A Term
                  Loan, if the A Term Loan is to constitute a Eurodollar Rate
                  Loan, the requested Interest Period therefor; provided,
                  however, that such request shall be irrevocable except as set
                  forth in SECTION 2.12. If the requested A Term Loan
                  constitutes a Eurodollar Rate Loan, such request must be
                  delivered to Foothill no later than 11:00 a.m. (California
                  time) 10 Business Days prior to the requested funding date
                  therefor.

                           (d) The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
                  A Term Loan shall be repaid in monthly installments of
                  $100,000 over the remaining term of the Loan and Security
                  Agreement. Each such installment shall be due and payable on
                  the first day of each month commencing on February 1, 2000 and
                  continuing on the first day of each succeeding month until and
                  including the date on which the aggregate unpaid balance of
                  the Term Loan is paid in full. The aggregate outstanding
                  principal amount of the B Term Loan shall be repaid in equal
                  monthly installments of principal commencing on the first day
                  of the month following the funding date and continuing on the
                  first day of each month thereafter for a period of twelve (12)
                  consecutive months. In the event that, and on each occasion
                  that, any Term Loan is prepaid and reborrowed pursuant to
                  paragraph (f) of this Section 2.3, the aggregate outstanding
                  principal amount of the Term Loan shall be repaid in equal
                  monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest
                  commencing on the first day of the month following the date of
                  reborrowing and continuing on the first day of each month
                  thereafter until and including December 22, 2002, the date on
                  which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan
                  and all accrued interest thereon shall be paid in full. In any
                  event, the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and
                  unpaid interest under the Term Loan shall be due and payable
                  upon the termination of this Agreement, whether by its terms,
                  by prepayment, by acceleration, or otherwise. Except upon the
                  termination of this Agreement and as provided in paragraph (e)
                  below, the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan may not
                  be prepaid in whole or in part. All amounts outstanding under
                  the Term Loan shall constitute Obligations.

                           (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
                  if the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan
                  exceeds the lesser of (i) (A) from and after December 22, 1999
                  until and including March 31, 2001, an amount equal to 45% of
                  Eligible Recurring Maintenance Revenues at such time, (B) from
                  and after April 1, 2001 until and including March 31, 2002, an
                  amount equal to 40% of

                  from and after April 1, 2002 until and including March 31,
                  2003, an amount equal to 30% of Eligible Recurring Maintenance
                  Revenue at such time and (ii) $4,000,000, then the Borrower
                  shall prepay the principal amount of the Term Loan in an
                  amount sufficient to cause the aggregate principal amount of
                  the Term Loan to be less than or equal to the relevant amounts
                  set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. All such prepaid
                  amounts shall be applied to the installments due on the Term
                  Loan in the inverse order of their maturity; PROVIDED that (A)
                  all such prepaid amounts shall be applied pro rata to the A
                  Term Loan and to the B Term Loan and (B) if the aggregate
                  principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding prior to giving
                  effect to such prepayment is less than $4,000,000 then such
                  prepaid amounts shall be applied to the installments due on
                  the Term Loan in the order of their maturity.
