BORROWER:         PROXIM CORPORATION

DATED AS OF:      OCTOBER 31, 2003

         This Amendment to Loan Documents and Waiver is entered into between
Silicon Valley Bank ("Bank") and the borrower named above ("Borrower"), with
reference to the following facts:

         Bank and the Borrower are parties to the following: the Loan and
Security Agreement between them, dated December 27, 2,002 (the "Loan

the Accounts Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety, effective on the date
hereof, to read as set forth in the Amended Overadvance LC Rider attached
hereto, and the same is hereby made a part of the Accounts Agreement.

         2. LIMITED WAIVER. Silicon waives compliance by the Borrower with the
financial covenant set forth in Section 6.2(O)(1) of the Accounts Agreement
through September 30, 2003. This waiver does not constitute a waiver of the
Borrower's obligation to meet said covenant (as modified herein) after September
30, 2003, nor does it constitute a waiver of any other term or provision of the
Accounts Agreement or any related document, nor an agreement to waive in the
future this covenant or any other term or provision of the Accounts Agreement or
any related document.

         3. MODIFICATION TO FINANCIAL COVENANT. Section 6.2(O)(1) of the
Accounts Agreement, which presently reads as follows:

                  "(1) Borrower shall, at all times maintain Cash and Cash
                  Equivalents with Bank and Bank's affiliates in an amount not
                  less than $8,000,000; provided that a failure to do so shall
                  not constitute an Event of Default

<PAGE>

                  hereunder if, at all times that Borrower fails to meet said
                  covenant Borrower has a Quick Ratio of at least 5.0 to 1. If
                  at any time Borrower fails to have Cash and Cash Equivalents
                  with Bank and Bank's affiliates in an amount not less than
                  $8,000,000 and fails to have a Quick Ratio of at least 5.0 to
                  1, the same shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder."

is amended to read as follows, effective October 1, 2003:

                  "(1) Borrower shall, at all times maintain Cash and Cash
                  Equivalents with Bank and Bank's affiliates in an amount not
                  less than $4,000,000; provided that a failure to do so shall
                  not constitute an Event of Default hereunder if, at all times
                  that Borrower fails to meet said covenant Borrower has a Quick
                  Ratio of at least 5.0 to 1. If at any time Borrower fails to
                  have Cash and Cash Equivalents with Bank and Bark's affiliates
                  in an amount not less than $4,000,000 and fails to have a
                  Quick Ratio of at least 5.0 to 1, the same shall constitute an
                  Event of Default hereunder."

         4. MODIFICATION TO NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

                  (a)      Section 6.3 of the Accounts Agreement, which
                           presently reads as follows:

               EXHIBIT A TO AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS AND WAIVER
                          AMENDED OVERADVANCE LC RIDER

         This Amended Overadvance LC Rider is dated October 31, 2003, and is
attached to and forms a part of the Accounts Receivable Financing Agreement
dated as of June 13, 2003 (the "Accounts Agreement") between Proxim Corporation
("Borrower") and Silicon Valley Bank ("Bank"), and amends in its entirety the
prior Overadvance LC Rider to the Accounts Agreement effective on the date
hereof.

      1. Overadvance LCs.

         (a) Bank may, in its good faith business judgment, provide Borrower
with Letters of Credit in excess of the formulas set forth in the Accounts
Agreement (the "Overadvance LCs"), as set forth in this Rider. (If a Letter of
Credit is 100% secured by cash or is 100% reserved for from Advances which would
otherwise be available to the Borrower under the Accounts Agreement (after all
other reserves), such Letter of Credit will not be deemed an Overadvance LC. If
only part of the face amount of a Letter of Credit is secured by cash or is so
reserved, then such Letter of Credit shall only be deemed an Overadvance LC to
the extent such Letter of Credit is not cash secured and not covered by such
reserves.)

         (b) The unpaid balance of all Overadvance LCs from time to time
outstanding shall not at any time exceed $4,000,000, and in the event it does,
at any time, Borrower will provide Bank with cash collateral in an amount equal
to 100% of the excess immediately, without notice or demand.

         (c) In no event shall the total Obligations (including without
limitation the Overadvance LCs) exceed $20,000,000.

      2. Overadvance Maturity Date.

         (a) Overadvance LCs may be outstanding only during the period from the
date hereof to the earlier of the following (the "Overadvance Maturity Date"):
October 31, 2003 or the date the Accounts Agreement terminates by its terms or
is terminated by any party in accordance with its terms.

         (b) On and after the Overadvance Maturity Date, the Overadvance
facility established by this Rider will expire, and no further Overadvance LCs
will be issued. On or before the Overadvance Maturity Date, Borrower shall
provide Bank with cash collateral in an amount equal to 100% of the face amount
of all outstanding Overadvance LCs (including without limitation drawn, but
unreimbursed Overadvance LCs), All cash collateral provided pursuant to this
Rider shall be held as "Collateral" for all purposes of the Accounts Agreement.
In the event, on the Overadvance Maturity Date, Borrower fails to provide Bank
with cash collateral in an amount equal to 100% of the face amount of all
outstanding Overadvance LCs, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default
under the Accounts Agreement.

                                                                             -6-
<PAGE>


      3. Fees. Borrower shall pay all standard charges with respect to
Overadvance LCs as are charged by Bank's International Department. In addition,
Borrower shall pay Bank a fee in the amount of 1.5% per Week of the average
amount of Overadvance LCs outstanding during each Week, which shall be payable
on the last day of each Week. As used herein, "Week" means the seven-day period
beginning on the date of this Rider and each succeeding seven-day period. Said
fee shall be in addition to all interest and all other fees and charges, and may
be charged by Bank to any of Borrower's deposit accounts with Bank or to
Borrower's loan account.

      4. Collateral. The Obligation to reimburse Bank for all Overadvance LCs,
and all of Borrower's other obligations under this Rider shall for all purposes
be deemed "Obligations" under the Accounts Agreement and shall be secured by all
of the Collateral. All Overadvance LCs shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be
"Letters of Credit" under the Accounts Agreement, and all Overadvance LCs shall
be entitled to all of the benefits of, and (except as herein expressly set
forth) shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of, all of the Loan
Documents.
