a California corporation, as the arranger and administrative agent for the
Lenders ("Agent"), and, on the other hand, HYPERCOM CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation ("Parent"), and each of Parent's Subsidiaries identified on the
signature pages hereof (such Subsidiaries are referred to hereinafter each
individually as a "Borrower", and individually and collectively, jointly and
severally, as the "Borrowers"), with reference to the following:

         A.       Borrowers and Parent previously entered into that certain Loan
                  and Security Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2001, as amended

                  Amendment Number Three to Loan and Security Agreement dated as
                  of February 13, 2002 (as the same may be further amended,
                  restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to
                  time, the "Loan Agreement"), with Agent and Lenders.

         B.       Section 7.3 of the Loan Agreement, among other things,
                  restricts the ability of Parent, any Borrower, or any of their
                  respective Subsidiaries to liquidate, wind up, or dissolve

                  corporation, Hypercom Transaction Network, Inc., an Arizona
                  corporation, and Hypercom FSC, Inc., a Barbados corporation
                  (each an "Inactive Subsidiary", and individually and
                  collectively, the "Inactive Subsidiaries").

         D.       Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the
                  Lenders are willing to waive the provisions of Section 7.3 of
                  the Loan Agreement with respect to the dissolution of the
                  Inactive Subsidiaries.

         E.       Terms used herein without definitions shall have the meanings
                  ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
