WITNESS SYSTEMS, INC.
  DIRECTOR AND KEY EXECUTIVE STOCK OWNERSHIP INCENTIVE POLICY    
    

        The purpose of this Policy is to promote the interests of Witness Systems, Inc. (the "Company") by aligning the interests of the Company's key executives
and directors with the interests of unaffiliated shareholders of the Company by encouraging members of its Board of Directors and key executives to purchase shares of the Company's common stock (the
"Shares") and by providing an additional incentive for such persons to work to increase the value of the Shares. The Policy provides for the automatic grant of options ("Options") concurrent with the
participants purchase of Shares in the open market. 

        Up
to 15,000 Options are available for grant under this Policy to each participant. Options shall be issued under the Witness Systems, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive
Plan, as amended (the "Plan"). 

        The
effective date of this Policy is the date it is adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, as noted in resolutions effectuating such adoption and will remain in effect until
March 15, 2004, unless extended by the Board. 

        The
individuals eligible to participate in this Policy shall be those who, as of the Purchase Date (defined below), are members of the Company's i) Board of Directors or
ii) senior management team. 

        During
the term of this Policy, any person who purchases at least 500 Shares and up to 3,000 Shares in the open market (during open window periods) shall be automatically and immediately
granted five Options (the "Purchase Date") for each Share purchased. The Shares purchased in the open market must be held for a minimum period of time (so long as the participant is affiliated with
the Company).
Half of the Shares must be held for one year and the other half of the shares must be held for two years. In the event that any of the Shares are held for a shorter period than required, and assuming
the participant is still associated with the Company, then a pro rata number of options shall be forfeited if so determined by the Board, acting in its sole discretion. 

        Subject
to adjustment in accordance with Section 11 of the Plan, the exercise price for each Option shall be equal to the closing sale price of WITS as reflected on Nasdaq on the
Purchase Date. 

        The
Options granted under this Policy shall vest as follows: 

        (a)   One
half of the Options shall vest on the first anniversary of the Purchase Date; and 

        (b)   The
remaining Options shall vest in 12 equal installments in months 13 to 24 following the Purchase Date. 

        This
Policy may be amended or terminated by the Board to the extent that the Board deems necessary or appropriate.

SECOND LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT    
    

        This Loan Modification Agreement is entered into as of May 14, 2003 by and between WITNESS
SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), whose address is 300 Colonial Center Parkway, Roswell, Georgia 30076, and SILICON VALLEY
BANK ("Lender"), a California-chartered bank with a principal place of business at 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054 and with a loan production office located at 3343
Peachtree Road, Suite 312, Atlanta, GA 30326. 

        WHEREAS,
among other indebtedness which may be owing by Borrower to Lender, Borrower is indebted to Lender pursuant to, among other documents, a Loan and Security Agreement, dated
April 3, 2002, as may be amended from time to time, in the original principal amount of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the "Loan Agreement"; the Loan Agreement together with all other
documents evidencing or securing the indebtedness shall be referred to as the "Existing Loan Documents"); 

        WHEREAS,
the Loan Agreement provides for, among other things, a Committed Line in the original principal amount of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (hereinafter, all indebtedness
owing by Borrower to Lender shall be referred to as the "Indebtedness"); 

        WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Borrower agreed, among other things, to comply with certain covenants set forth therein, including certain financial covenants; and 

        WHEREAS,
Borrower has requested that Lender waive certain financial covenants, and Lender is willing to do so, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including the
amendment to the Loan Agreement set forth herein. 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows: 

        1.    DEFINITIONS.    All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to
such terms in the Loan Agreement. 

        2.    WAIVER OF COVENANT VIOLATION.    In reliance upon the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of
Borrower set forth herein and in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, Lender herby waives any Event of Default arising solely out of Borrower's failure to have as of March 31, 2003 the
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth required by Section 6.7(ii) of the Loan Agreement. 

        3.    MODIFICATIONS TO LOAN AGREEMENT.    

        3.1   The
Loan Agreement is amended by deleting Section 2.2 in its entirety and by substituting therefor a new  Section 2.2 to read as follows: 

        If
Borrower's Obligations under Section 2.1.1, 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 exceed the lesser of either (i) the Committed Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower
shall upon notice from Bank, immediately pay such excess or secure such excess with a pledge of cash maintained at Bank. 

        3.2   The
Loan Agreement is amended by deleting paragraph (ii) of Section 6.7 in its entirety and by substituting
therefor a new paragraph (ii) to read as follows: 

        (ii)   Consolidated Tangible Net Worth. A Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of at least the sum of (a) $20,000,000, plus
(b) seventy-five percent of net income (without subtracting any losses) earned in each fiscal quarter from and after March 31, 2003, plus (c) fifty percent 

1

 

(50%)
of the net cash proceeds from any equity issued from and after May 14, 2003 by Borrower, calculated after subtracting any cash consideration received from such issuance which is used to
finance an acquisition; provided, however, at any time that the Quick Ratio is less than 2.0 to 1.0, this covenant will be tested on a monthly basis. 

        3.3   The
Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Exhibit D thereof in its entirety and substituting therefor a new  Exhibit D in the
form attached hereto. 

        4.    CONSISTENT CHANGES.    The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes
described above. 

        5.    NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER.    Borrower agrees that it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts
under the Indebtedness. 

        6.    CONTINUING VALIDITY.    Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Lender is
relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms
of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Lender's agreement to modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way
shall obligate Lender to make any future modifications to the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the intention of
Lender and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Lender in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will
be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Loan Modification Agreement, but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements. 

        7.    LIMITATION.    This Loan Modification Agreement is limited to the matters expressly set forth above and shall
not be deemed to waive or modify any other term of the Loan Agreement or Loan Documents, each of which is hereby ratified and reaffirmed, or to consent to any subsequent failure of Borrower to comply
with any term or provision of the Loan Agreement or the Loan Documents, each of which shall remain in full force and effect. 

        8.    CONDITIONS.    The effectiveness of this Loan Modification Agreement is conditioned upon Borrower's execution
and delivery of this Loan Modification Agreement and such other instruments, documents and agreements as Lender or its counsel shall request.
