                              W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Obligors and Lender are parties to that certain Amended and

restated or otherwise supplemented from time to time, including, but not limited
to, that certain Master Reaffirmation and Amendment to Loan Documents dated as
of November 22, 2001, the "CREDIT AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which, among other
things, Lender has extended to Zygo a commercial revolving loan/letter of credit
facility in the original principal amount of up to $3,000,000 (the "REVOLVING
CREDIT FACILITY"); and

     WHEREAS, ZTO and TeraOptix have each, among other things, unconditionally

24. Amendments to Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents.

     a. Each reference in the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall mean
the Credit Agreement as modified by this Agreement.

     b. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement, entitled "Defined Terms", is hereby
amended by deleting the definition of "Applicable Margin" in its entirety and
inserting the following in lieu thereof:

               "Applicable Margin" means for each LIBOR Loan then outstanding:

               (a) for the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on
          the day immediately preceding the Initial Adjustment Date, 1.0% above
          the applicable LIBOR Rate; and

                                      -61-

<PAGE>

               (b) for each period commencing on an Adjustment Date (including,
          but not limited to, the Initial Adjustment Date) and ending on the day
          immediately preceding the next Adjustment Date, the percentage rate
          set forth below opposite the level of Zygo's consolidated financial
          performance as measured by its Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the
          end of its most recent fiscal quarter for the then ended Rolling
          Period (as determined on the basis of the financial statements
          required to be delivered in respect of such Adjustment Date):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                  LIBOR

      II                >0.75x, but < 1.25x                       1.25%
                        -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     III                >1.25x, but < 2.00x                       1.50%
                        -

                               -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               By way of illustration, if Zygo's Consolidated Leverage Ratio on
          June 30, 2002 is 1.70 to 1.0, then, effective on the first day
          following the date upon which Zygo's June, 2002 quarterly compliance
          certificate and quarterly financial statements are received by Lender,
          the interest rate applicable to the LIBOR Loans shall be adjusted (if
          not the same) to be priced at the LIBOR Rate plus 1.50%.

     c. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement, entitled "Defined Terms", is hereby
amended by adding the following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical
order:

               "Consolidated Liquidity Ratio" means, as of each applicable date,
          the ratio of (a) the Liquid Asset Amount as of such date, to (b)
          Senior Funded Debt as of such date.

               "Liquid Asset Amount" means, as of each applicable date, the sum
          of all assets of the Obligors on such date consisting of cash, cash
          equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable (which
          shall be valued at ninety percent (90%) the face amount thereof less
          any and all rebates, discounts, credits or other allowances applicable
          thereto).

               "Net Worth" means, at a particular date, (a) Total Assets as of
          such date, minus (b) Total Liabilities as of such date.

               "Total Assets" means, as of any particular date, all assets of
          the Obligors that, in accordance with GAAP, would properly be
          classified as assets on the consolidated balance sheet of the Obligors
          as of such date.

               "Total Liabilities" means, as of any particular date, all Debt
          and other liabilities of the Obligors that, in accordance with GAAP,
          would properly be classified as liabilities on the consolidated
          balance sheet of the Obligors as of such date, but, in any event,
          shall exclude (if not otherwise excluded in accordance with GAAP)
          liabilities of an Obligor to another Obligor.

     d. Article VII of the Credit Agreement, entitled "FINANCIAL COVENANTS", is
hereby amended by deleting Sections 7.1 and 7.2 their entirety and inserting the
following in lieu thereof:

                                      -62-

          permit its Consolidated Senior Funded Debt-to-EBITDA Ratio to exceed
          2.0 to 1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the then ended
          Rolling Period commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on June 30,
          2004.

               Section 7.3 Consolidated Liquidity Ratio. Maintain a Consolidated

          reduction in the valuation of TeraOptix and/or ZTO is required to be
          made in accordance with GAAP during any particular period, the
          applicable Net Worth requirement hereunder shall be reduced by the
