BORROWER:   ZAMBA CORPORATION
ADDRESS:    3033 EXCELSIOR BOULEVARD, SUITE 200
            MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55416

DATE:       FEBRUARY 27, 2001

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is entered into on the above date between
SILICON VALLEY BANK, COMMERCIAL FINANCE DIVISION ("Silicon"), whose address is
3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054 and the borrower(s) named above
(jointly and severally, the "Borrower"), whose chief executive office is located
at the above address ("Borrower's Address"). The Schedule to this Agreement (the
"Schedule") shall for all purposes be deemed to be a part of this Agreement, and
the same is an integral part of this Agreement. (Definitions of certain terms
used in this Agreement are set forth in Section 8 below.)

1.   LOANS.

   1.1 LOANS. Silicon will make loans to Borrower (the "Loans"), in amounts
determined by Silicon in its sole discretion, up to the amounts (the "Credit
Limit") shown on the Schedule, provided no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, and subject to deduction of any Reserves for accrued
interest and such other Reserves as Silicon deems proper from time to time.

   1.2 INTEREST. All Loans and all other monetary Obligations shall bear
interest at the rate shown on the Schedule, except where expressly set forth to
the contrary in this Agreement. Interest shall be payable monthly, on the last
day of the month. Interest may, in Silicon's discretion, be charged to
Borrower's loan account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same
rate as the other Loans. Silicon may, in its discretion, charge interest to
Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon. Regardless of the amount of
Obligations that may be outstanding from time to time, Borrower shall pay
Silicon minimum monthly interest during the term of this Agreement in the amount
set forth on the Schedule (the "Minimum Monthly Interest").

   1.3 OVERADVANCES. If at any time or for any reason the total of all
outstanding Loans and all other Obligations exceeds the Credit Limit (an
"Overadvance"), Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to
Silicon, without notice or demand. Without limiting Borrower's obligation to
repay to Silicon on demand the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay
Silicon interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at a
rate equal to the interest rate which would otherwise be applicable to the
Overadvance, plus an additional 2% per annum.

   1.4 FEES. Borrower shall pay Silicon the fee(s) shown on the Schedule, which
are in addition to all interest and other sums payable to Silicon and are not
refundable.

   1.5  LETTERS OF CREDIT.  [Not Applicable]

2.  SECURITY INTEREST.

   2.1 SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of all of the
Obligations when due, Borrower hereby grants to Silicon a security interest in
all of Borrower's interest in the following, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, and wherever located: All Inventory, Equipment, Receivables, and
General Intangibles, including, without limitation, all of Borrower's Deposit
Accounts, and all money, and all property now or at any time in the future in
Silicon's possession (including claims and credit balances), and all proceeds
(including proceeds of any insurance policies, proceeds of proceeds and claims
against third parties), all products and all books and records related to any of
the foregoing (all of the foregoing, together with all other property in which
Silicon may now or in the future be granted a lien or security interest, is
referred to herein, collectively, as the "Collateral").

3.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER.

   In order to induce Silicon to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans,
Borrower represents and warrants to Silicon as follows, and Borrower covenants
that the following representations will continue to be true, and that Borrower
will at all times comply with all of the following covenants:

   3.1 CORPORATE EXISTENCE AND AUTHORITY. Borrower, if a corporation, is and
will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Borrower is and will continue
to be qualified and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which any
failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on Borrower. The
execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement, and all other
documents contemplated hereby

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

(i) have been duly and validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against Borrower
in  accordance  with  their  terms  (except  as  enforcement  may be  limited by
equitable principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization,  moratorium
or similar  laws  relating to  creditors'  rights  generally),  and (iii) do not
violate  Borrower's  articles or  certificate  of  incorporation,  or Borrower's
by-laws,  or any law or any material  agreement or  instrument  which is binding
upon  Borrower  or  its  property,  and  (iv)  do  not  constitute  grounds  for
acceleration  of any  material  indebtedness  or  obligation  under any material
agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property.

   3.2 NAME; TRADE NAMES AND STYLES. The name of Borrower set forth in the
heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed on the Schedule are all
prior names of Borrower and all of Borrower's present and prior trade names.
Borrower shall give Silicon 30 days' prior written notice before changing its
name or doing business under any other name. Borrower has complied, and will in
the future comply, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a
fictitious business name.

   3.3 PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF COLLATERAL. The address set forth in the
heading to this Agreement is Borrower's chief executive office *. In addition,
Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations
set forth on the Schedule. Borrower will give Silicon at least 30 days prior
written notice before opening any additional place of business **, changing its
chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than
Borrower's Address or one of the locations set forth on the Schedule.

   * (AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN OFFICIAL UCC COMMENT 5(c) TO SECTION 9103(3) OF
THE CODE, I.E., THE PLACE FROM WHICH IN FACT BORROWER MANAGES THE MAIN PART OF
ITS BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND WHERE PERSONS DEALING WITH BORROWER WOULD NORMALLY
LOOK FOR CREDIT INFORMATION)

   ** (OTHER THAN SALES OFFICE LOCATIONS AT WHICH NO COLLATERAL OR AN IMMATERIAL
AMOUNT OF COLLATERAL IS LOCATED)

   3.4 TITLE TO COLLATERAL; PERMITTED LIENS. Borrower is now, and will at all
times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items
of Equipment which are leased by Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain
free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances
and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Silicon now has, and will
continue to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security interest
in all of the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens, and Borrower will
at all times defend Silicon and the Collateral against all claims of others.
None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a
manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Borrower is not and will
not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor
may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits,
restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Borrower's right to
remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is
located upon premises in which any third party has an interest (whether as
owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of trust, lien or otherwise),
Borrower shall, whenever requested by Silicon, use its best efforts to cause
such third party to execute and deliver to Silicon, in form acceptable to
Silicon, such waivers and subordinations as Silicon shall specify, so as to
ensure that Silicon's rights in the Collateral are, and will continue to be,
superior to the rights of any such third party. Borrower will keep in full force
and effect, and will comply with all the terms of, any lease of real property
where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located.

   3.5 MAINTENANCE OF COLLATERAL. Borrower will maintain the Collateral in good
working condition, and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful
purpose. Borrower will immediately advise Silicon in writing of any material
loss or damage to the Collateral.

   3.6 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Borrower has maintained and will maintain at
Borrower's Address complete and accurate books and records, comprising an
accounting system in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

   3.7 FINANCIAL CONDITION, STATEMENTS AND REPORTS. All financial statements now
or in the future delivered to Silicon have been, and will be, prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and now and in the
future will completely and accurately reflect the financial condition of
Borrower, at the times and for the periods therein stated. Between the last date
covered by any such statement provided to Silicon and the date hereof, there has
been no material adverse change in the financial condition or business of
Borrower. Borrower is now and will continue to be solvent.

   3.8 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS; PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS. Borrower has timely
filed, and will timely file, all tax returns and reports required by foreign,
federal, state and local law, and Borrower has timely paid, and will timely pay,
all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and
contributions now or in the future owed by Borrower. Borrower may, however,
defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (i) in good faith
contests Borrower's obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings
promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies Silicon in
writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the
proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the
contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any of the Collateral. Borrower is
unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower's prior tax
years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by
Borrower. Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to
fund all present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation
plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not and will not withdraw
from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the
occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could result
in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
Borrower shall, at all times, utilize the services of an outside payroll service
providing for the automatic deposit of all payroll taxes payable by Borrower.

   3.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Borrower has complied, and will comply, in all
material respects, with all

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

provisions of all foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations
relating to Borrower, including, but not limited to, those relating to
Borrower's ownership of real or personal property, the conduct and licensing of
Borrower's business, and all environmental matters.

   3.10 LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, there is no claim,
suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to best of Borrower's
knowledge) threatened by or against or affecting Borrower in any court or before
any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to Borrower) which may
result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in
the financial condition or business of Borrower, or in any material impairment
in the ability of Borrower to carry on its business in substantially the same
manner as it is now being conducted. Borrower will promptly inform Silicon in
writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future
threatened or instituted by or against Borrower involving any single claim of *
or more in the aggregate.

   * $75,000 OR MORE, OR INVOLVING $150,000

   3.11 USE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for
lawful business purposes. Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any "margin
stock" (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase
or carry any "margin stock" or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any "margin stock."

services in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, and (ii) meet the
Minimum Eligibility Requirements set forth in Section 8 below.

   4.2 REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO DOCUMENTS AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE. Borrower
represents and warrants to Silicon as follows: All statements made and all
unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents
evidencing the Receivables are and shall be true and correct and all such
invoices, instruments and other documents and all of Borrower's books and
records are and shall be genuine and in all respects what they purport to be,
and all signatories and endorsers have the capacity to contract. All sales and
other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Receivable shall fully
comply with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. All
signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements

with their terms.

   4.3 SCHEDULES AND DOCUMENTS RELATING TO RECEIVABLES. Borrower shall deliver
to Silicon transaction reports and loan requests, schedules and assignments of
all Receivables, and schedules of collections, all on Silicon's standard forms;
provided, however, that Borrower's failure to execute and deliver the same shall
not affect or limit Silicon's security interest and other rights in all of
Borrower's Receivables, nor shall Silicon's failure to advance or lend against a
specific Receivable affect or limit Silicon's security interest and other rights
therein. Loan requests received after 12:00 Noon will not be considered by
Silicon until the next Business Day. Together with each such schedule and
assignment, or later if requested by Silicon, Borrower shall furnish Silicon
with copies (or, at Silicon's request, originals) of all contracts, orders,
invoices, and other similar documents, and all original shipping instructions,
delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any
goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Receivables, and
Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing. Borrower shall also
furnish to Silicon an aged accounts receivable trial balance in such form and at
such intervals as Silicon shall request. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to
Silicon the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements,
guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing any
Receivables, immediately upon receipt thereof and in the same form as received,
with all necessary indorsements, all of which shall be with recourse. Borrower

   4.4 COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. Borrower shall have the right to collect all
Receivables, unless and until a Default or an Event of Default has occurred *.
Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Receivables in trust for
Silicon, and Borrower shall immediately deliver all such payments and proceeds
to Silicon in their original form, duly endorsed in blank, to be applied to the
Obligations in such order as Silicon shall determine. Silicon may, in its
discretion, require that all proceeds of Collateral be deposited by Borrower
into a lockbox account, or such other "blocked account" as Silicon may specify,
pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as Silicon may specify.
Silicon or its designee may, at any time, notify Account Debtors that the
Receivables have been assigned to Silicon.

the sale of worn out or obsolete equipment disposed of by Borrower in good faith
in an arm's length transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 or
less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year). Borrower agrees that it
will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower's other funds or
property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds
and property and in an express trust for Silicon. Nothing in this Section limits
the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement.

   4.6 DISPUTES. Borrower shall notify Silicon promptly of all disputes or
claims * relating to Receivables. Borrower shall not forgive (completely or
partially), compromise or settle any Receivable for less than payment in full,
or agree to do any of the foregoing, except that Borrower may do so, provided
that: (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner,
in the ordinary course of business, and in arm's length transactions, which are
reported to Silicon on the regular reports provided to Silicon; (ii) no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) taking into
account all such discounts settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding
Loans will not exceed the Credit Limit. Silicon may, at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, settle or adjust disputes or claims directly
with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Silicon considers
advisable in its reasonable credit judgment and, in all cases, Silicon shall
credit Borrower's Loan account with only the net amounts received by Silicon in
payment of any Receivables.

   * IN EXCESS OF $25,000

   4.7 RETURNS. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if
any Account Debtor returns any Inventory * to Borrower in the ordinary course of
its business, Borrower shall promptly determine the reason for such return and

Borrower or Silicon or such other name as Silicon may choose. *

   * SILICON AGREES TO ATTEMPT IN GOOD FAITH TO PROVIDE BORROWER NOTICE OF SUCH

liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of,
any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to a Receivable, or
for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement,
failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Receivable, or for
settling any Receivable in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor
shall Silicon be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower's obligations
under any contract or agreement giving rise to a Receivable. Nothing herein
shall, however, relieve Silicon from liability for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

5.  ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF THE BORROWER.

   5.1 FINANCIAL AND OTHER COVENANTS. Borrower shall at all times comply with
the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.

personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with

full force and effect. All such insurance policies shall name Silicon as an
additional loss payee, and shall contain a lenders loss payee endorsement in
form reasonably acceptable to Silicon. Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such
insurance, Silicon shall apply such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as
Silicon shall determine in its sole discretion, except that, provided no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Silicon shall release to
Borrower insurance proceeds with respect to Equipment totaling less than
$100,000, which shall be utilized by Borrower for the replacement of the
Equipment with respect to which the insurance proceeds were paid. Silicon may
require reasonable assurance that the insurance proceeds so released will be so

not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrower's expense. Borrower shall promptly
deliver to Silicon copies of all reports made to insurance companies.

   5.4 ACCESS TO COLLATERAL, BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times, and on one
Business Day's notice, Silicon, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect
the Collateral, and the right to audit and copy Borrower's books and records.
Silicon shall take reasonable steps to keep confidential all information
obtained in any such inspection or audit, but Silicon shall have the right to
disclose any such information to its auditors, regulatory agencies, and
attorneys, and pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process. The foregoing
inspections and audits shall be at Borrower's expense and the charge therefor
shall be $600 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent
Silicon's then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out of
pocket expenses. Borrower will not enter into any agreement with any accounting
firm, service bureau or third party to store Borrower's books or records at any
location other than Borrower's Address *, without first obtaining Silicon's
written consent, which may be conditioned upon such accounting firm, service
bureau or other third party agreeing to give Silicon the same rights with
respect to access to books and records and related rights as Silicon has under
this Loan Agreement. Borrower waives the benefit of any accountant-client
privilege or other evidentiary privilege precluding or limiting the disclosure,
divulgence or

                                      -4-

delivery of any of its books and records (except that Borrower does not waive
any attorney-client privilege).

adverse effect on Borrower or on the prospect of repayment of the Obligations;

records, to the extent that Silicon may deem them reasonably necessary in order
to prosecute or defend any such suit or proceeding.

   5.7 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower agrees, at its expense, on request by
Silicon, to execute all documents and take all actions, as Silicon, may deem
reasonably necessary or useful in order to perfect and maintain Silicon's
perfected security interest in the Collateral, and in order to fully consummate

6.   TERM.

   6.1 MATURITY DATE. This Agreement shall continue in effect until the maturity
date set forth on the Schedule (the "Maturity Date"), subject to Section 6.3
below.

   6.2 EARLY TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Maturity
Date as follows: (i) by Borrower, effective three Business Days after written
notice of termination is given to Silicon; or (ii) by Silicon at any time after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice, effective immediately. If
this Agreement is terminated by Borrower or by Silicon under this Section 6.2,
Borrower shall pay to Silicon a termination fee in an amount equal to * ,
provided that no termination fee shall be charged if the credit facility
hereunder is replaced with a new facility from another division of Silicon
Valley Bank. The termination fee shall be due and payable on the effective date
of termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest
rate applicable to any of the Obligations.

   * $27,500

   6.3 PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. On the Maturity Date or on any earlier effective
date of termination, Borrower shall pay and perform in full all Obligations,
whether evidenced by installment notes or otherwise, and whether or not all or
any part of such Obligations are otherwise then due and payable. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if on the Maturity Date, or on any
earlier effective date of termination, there are any outstanding Letters of
Credit issued by Silicon or issued by another institution based upon an
application, guarantee, indemnity or similar agreement on the part of Silicon,
then on such date Borrower shall provide to Silicon cash collateral in an amount
equal to the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees
and cost due or to become due in connection therewith, to secure all of the
Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit, pursuant to Silicon's then
standard form cash pledge agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, all of Silicon's security interests in all of the Collateral and all
of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full; provided
that, without limiting the fact that Loans are subject to the discretion of
Silicon, Silicon may, in its sole discretion, refuse to make any further Loans
after termination. No termination shall in any way affect or impair any right or
remedy of Silicon, nor shall any such termination relieve Borrower of any
Obligation to Silicon, until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed
in full. Upon payment and performance in full of all the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement, Silicon shall promptly deliver to Borrower
termination statements, requests for reconveyances and such other documents as
may be required to fully terminate Silicon's security interests.

proceedings by or against any such third party under any bankruptcy or
insolvency law; or (m) Borrower makes any payment on account of any indebtedness

its debts as they become due, or Borrower shall conceal, remove or transfer any
part of its property, with intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors, or
make or suffer any transfer of any of its property which may be fraudulent under
any bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance or similar law; or (p) there shall be a
material adverse change in Borrower's business or financial condition; or (q)
Silicon, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, deems
itself insecure because of the occurrence of an event prior to the effective

may cease making any Loans hereunder during any of the above cure periods, and
thereafter if an Event of Default has occurred.

   * 10 DAYS

   7.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any time
thereafter, Silicon, at its option, and without notice or demand of any kind
(all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower), may do any one or more
of the following: (a) Cease making Loans or otherwise extending credit to
Borrower under this Agreement or any other document or agreement; (b) Accelerate
and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be immediately due, payable,
and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or installment payments allowed by
any instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligation; (c) Take possession of
any or all of the Collateral wherever it may be found, and for that purpose
Borrower hereby authorizes Silicon without judicial process to enter onto any of
Borrower's premises without interference to search for, take possession of,
keep, store, or remove any of the Collateral, and remain on the premises or
cause a custodian to remain on the premises in exclusive control thereof,
without charge for so long as Silicon deems it reasonably necessary in order to
complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other
agreement; provided, however, that should Silicon seek to take possession of any
of the Collateral by Court process, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives: (i) any
bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court
rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession; (ii) any demand for
possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover possession
thereof; and (iii) any requirement that Silicon retain possession of, and not
dispose of, any such Collateral until after trial or final judgment; (d) Require
Borrower to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to
Silicon at places designated by Silicon which are reasonably convenient to
Silicon and Borrower, and to remove the Collateral to such locations as Silicon
may deem advisable; (e) Complete the processing, manufacturing or repair of any
Collateral prior to a disposition thereof and, for such purpose and for the
purpose of removal, Silicon shall have the right to use Borrower's premises,
vehicles, hoists, lifts, cranes, equipment and all other property without
charge; (f) Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, in its
condition at the time Silicon obtains possession of it or after further
manufacturing, processing or repair, at one or more public and/or private sales,
in lots or in bulk, for cash, exchange or other property, or on credit, and to
adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral
announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Silicon shall have the right to
conduct such disposition on Borrower's premises without charge, for such time or
times as Silicon deems reasonable, or on Silicon's premises, or elsewhere and
the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Silicon may directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any
Collateral at any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable
law, at any private disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral
shall not relieve Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral
is defective as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale;
(g) Demand payment of, and collect any Receivables and General Intangibles
comprising Collateral and, in connection therewith, Borrower irrevocably
authorizes Silicon to endorse or sign Borrower's name on all collections,
receipts, instruments and other documents, to take possession of and open mail
addressed to Borrower and remove therefrom payments made with respect to any
item of the Collateral or proceeds thereof, and, in Silicon's sole discretion,
to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Receivables and
the like for less than face value; (h) Offset against any sums in any of
Borrower's general, special or other Deposit Accounts with Silicon; and (i)
Demand and receive possession of any of Borrower's federal and state income tax
returns and the books and records utilized in the preparation thereof or
referring thereto. All reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses, costs, liabilities
and obligations incurred by Silicon with respect to the foregoing shall be added
to and become part of the Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear
interest at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the
Obligations. Without limiting any of Silicon's rights and remedies, from and
after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the interest rate applicable to
the Obligations shall be increased by an additional four percent per annum.

   7.3 STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS. Borrower and Silicon
agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively, "sale") of any Collateral
which complies with the following standards will conclusively be deemed to be
commercially reasonable: (i) Notice of the sale is given to Borrower at least
seven days prior to the sale, and, in the case of a public sale, notice of the
sale is published at least seven days before the sale in a newspaper of general
circulation in the county where the sale is to be conducted; (ii) Notice of the
sale describes the collateral in general, non-specific terms; (iii) The sale is
conducted at a place designated by Silicon, with or without the Collateral being
present; (iv) The sale commences at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m; (v)
Payment of the purchase price in cash or by cashier's check or wire transfer is
required; (vi) With respect to any sale of any of the Collateral, Silicon may
(but is not obligated to) direct any prospective purchaser to ascertain directly
from Borrower any and all information concerning the same. Silicon shall be free
to employ other methods of noticing and selling the Collateral, in its
discretion, if they are commercially reasonable.

   7.4 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, without
limiting Silicon's other rights and remedies, Borrower grants to Silicon an
irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, authorizing and
permitting Silicon (acting through any of its employees, attorneys or agents) at
any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or without notice to
Borrower, and at Borrower's expense, to do any or all of the following, in
Borrower's name or otherwise, but Silicon agrees to exercise the following
powers in a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of Borrower
any documents that Silicon may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable in order
to perfect and maintain Silicon's security interest in the Collateral, or in
order to exercise a right of Borrower or Silicon, or in order to fully
consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and all other
present and future agreements; (b) Execute on behalf of Borrower any document
exercising, transferring or assigning any option to purchase, sell or otherwise
dispose of or to lease (as lessor or lessee) any real or personal property which
is part of Silicon's Collateral or in which Silicon has an interest; (c) Execute
on behalf of Borrower, any invoices relating to any Receivable, any draft
against any Account Debtor and any notice to any Account Debtor, any proof of
claim in bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien, claim of mechanic's, materialman's or
other lien, or assignment or satisfaction of mechanic's, materialman's or other
lien; (d) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or
proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of Borrower upon any instruments, or
documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into Silicon's
possession; (e) Endorse all checks and other forms of remittances received by
Silicon; (f) Pay, contest or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance, security
interest and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral, or any judgment based
thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (g)
Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Receivables and
General Intangibles for less than face value and execute all releases and other
documents in connection therewith; (h) Pay any sums required on account of
Borrower's taxes or to secure the release of any liens therefor, or both; (i)
Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any
of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (j) Instruct any third party
having custody or control of any books or records belonging to, or relating to,
Borrower to give Silicon the same rights of access and other rights with respect
thereto as Silicon has under this Agreement; and (k) Take any action or pay any
sum required of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and any other present or
future agreements. Any and all reasonable sums paid and any and all reasonable
costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by
Silicon with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the
Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal
to the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. In no event
shall Silicon's rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of Silicon's
other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that Silicon is in
control of the business, management or properties of Borrower.

   7.5 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds realized as the result of any sale
of the Collateral shall be applied by Silicon first to the reasonable costs,
expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Silicon in
the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second to the interest due upon
any of the Obligations, and third to the principal of the Obligations, in such
order as Silicon shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be
paid to Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall
remain liable to Silicon for any deficiency. If, Silicon, in its sole
discretion, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other
credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral,

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Silicon shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in its sole discretion,
of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of purchase price or
deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Silicon
of the cash therefor.

   7.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in
this Agreement, Silicon shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a
secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code and under all other
applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the
future entered into between Silicon and Borrower, and all of such rights and
remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by
Silicon of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an
election, nor bar Silicon from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any
other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Silicon to exercise any rights
or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies
shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been
fully paid and performed.

9.   GENERAL PROVISIONS.

   9.1 INTEREST COMPUTATION. In computing interest on the Obligations, all
checks, wire transfers and other items of payment received by Silicon (including
proceeds of Receivables and payment of the Obligations in full) shall be deemed
applied by Silicon on account of the Obligations three Business Days after
receipt by Silicon of immediately available funds, and, for purposes of the

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

foregoing, any such funds received after 12:00 Noon on any day shall be deemed
received on the next Business Day. Silicon shall not, however, be required to
credit Borrower's account for the amount of any item of payment which is
unsatisfactory to Silicon in its sole discretion, and Silicon may charge
Borrower's loan account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned
to Silicon unpaid.

   9.2 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments with respect to the Obligations may
be applied, and in Silicon's sole discretion reversed and re-applied, to the
Obligations, in such order and manner as Silicon shall determine in its sole
discretion.

   9.3 CHARGES TO ACCOUNTS. Silicon may, in its discretion, require that
Borrower pay monetary Obligations in cash to Silicon, or charge them to
Borrower's Loan account, in which event they will bear interest at the same rate
applicable to the Loans. Silicon may also, in its discretion, charge any
monetary Obligations to Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Silicon.

   9.4 MONTHLY ACCOUNTINGS. Silicon shall provide Borrower monthly with an
account of advances, charges, expenses and payments made pursuant to this
Agreement. Such account shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on
Borrower and an account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of
payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Silicon), unless Borrower
notifies Silicon in writing to the contrary within thirty days after each
account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or admissions.

   9.5 NOTICES. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be given either personally or by reputable private delivery service or
by regular first-class mail, or certified mail return receipt requested,
addressed to Silicon or Borrower at the addresses shown in the heading to this
Agreement, or at any other address designated in writing by one party to the
other party. Notices to Silicon shall be directed to the Commercial Finance
Division, to the attention of the Division Manager or the Division Credit
Manager. All notices shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in the
case of notices personally delivered, or at the expiration of one Business Day
following delivery to the private delivery service, or two Business Days
following the deposit thereof in the United States mail, with postage prepaid.

   9.6 SEVERABILITY. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any court
of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall not
affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and
effect.

   9.7 INTEGRATION. This Agreement and such other written agreements, documents
and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the final, entire
and complete agreement between Borrower and Silicon and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of
which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are no oral
understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which are not
set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties
in connection herewith.

   9.8 WAIVERS. The failure of Silicon at any time or times to require Borrower
to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other
present or future agreement between Borrower and Silicon shall not waive or
diminish any right of Silicon later to demand and receive strict compliance
therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other
default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of the
provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement now or in the future
executed by Borrower and delivered to Silicon shall be deemed to have been
waived by any act or knowledge of Silicon or its agents or employees, but only
by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Silicon and
delivered to Borrower. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest and
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release,
compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper,
instrument, account, General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held
by Silicon on which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any
action taken by Silicon, unless expressly required by this Agreement.

   9.9 NO LIABILITY FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. Neither Silicon, nor any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Silicon shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or
damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by Borrower
or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Silicon, or any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Silicon, but nothing herein shall relieve Silicon from
liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

   9.10 AMENDMENT. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be waived
or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly authorized
officer of Silicon.

   9.11 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance by Borrower
of each and every obligation under this Agreement.

   9.12 ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS. Borrower shall reimburse Silicon for all
reasonable attorneys' fees and all filing, recording, search, title insurance,
appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by Silicon, pursuant to,
or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or not a lawsuit
is filed), including, but not limited to, any reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs Silicon incurs in order to do the following: prepare and negotiate this
Agreement and the documents relating to this Agreement; obtain legal advice in
connection with this Agreement or Borrower; enforce, or seek to enforce, any of
its rights; prosecute actions against, or defend actions by, Account Debtors;
commence, intervene in, or defend any action or proceeding; initiate any
complaint to be relieved of the automatic stay in bankruptcy; file or prosecute
any probate claim, bankruptcy claim, third-party claim, or other claim; examine,
audit, copy, and inspect any of the Collateral or any of Borrower's books and
records; protect, obtain possession of, lease, dispose of, or otherwise enforce
Silicon's security interest in, the Collateral; and otherwise represent Silicon
in any litigation relating to Borrower. In satisfying Borrower's obligation
hereunder to reimburse Silicon for attorneys

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

fees, Borrower may, for convenience, issue checks directly to Silicon's
attorneys, Levy, Small & Lallas, but Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Levy,
Small & Lallas is representing only Silicon and not Borrower in connection with
this Agreement. If either Silicon or Borrower files any lawsuit against the
other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such
action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees,
including (but not limited to) reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in
the enforcement of, execution upon or defense of any order, decree, award or
judgment. All attorneys' fees and costs to which Silicon may be entitled
pursuant to this Paragraph shall immediately become part of Borrower's
Obligations, shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest at a rate equal to
the highest interest rate applicable to any of the Obligations.

   9.13 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs,
beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and Silicon; provided, however,
that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of Silicon, and any prohibited assignment
shall be void. No consent by Silicon to any assignment shall release Borrower
from its liability for the Obligations.

   9.14 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Borrower consists of more than one
Person, their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any
claim with, or the release of, any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise
with, or a release of, any other Borrower.

   9.15 LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Any claim or cause of action by Borrower against
Silicon, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys,
based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan Agreement, or any other
present or future document or agreement, or any other transaction contemplated
hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or
thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Silicon, its
directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, shall be
barred unless asserted by Borrower by the commencement of an action or
proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a complaint
within one year after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such
claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, and the service of a
summons and complaint on an officer of Silicon, or on any other person

2.  INTEREST.

         INTEREST RATE (Section 1.2):

                                        A rate equal to the "Prime Rate" in

                                        annum. Interest shall be calculated on
                                        the basis of a 360-day year for the
                                        actual number of days elapsed. "Prime
                                        Rate" means the rate announced from time
                                        to time by Silicon as its "prime rate;"
                                        it is a base rate upon which other rates
                                        charged by Silicon are based, and it is
                                        not necessarily the best rate available
                                        at Silicon. The interest rate applicable
                                        to the Obligations shall change on each
                                        date there is a change in the Prime
                                        Rate.

         MINIMUM MONTHLY
         INTEREST (Section 1.2):        $5,000 per month.

                                   per share equal to the Designated Price (as
                                   defined herein), on terms acceptable to
                                   Silicon, all as set forth in the Warrant to

                                   non-refundable. As used herein, the term
                                   "Designated Price" means the average closing
                                   price of the Shares reported for the 5
                                   trading days immediately before the date of

                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

         THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT is entered into as of February 27,
2001 by and between SILICON VALLEY BANK ("Purchaser") and ZAMBA CORPORATION (the
"Company").

                                    RECITALS

         A. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser is
purchasing from the Company a Warrant to Purchase Stock (the "Warrant") pursuant
to which Purchaser has the right to acquire from the Company the Shares (as
defined in the Warrant).

         B. By this Agreement, the Purchaser and the Company desire to set forth
the registration rights of the Shares all as provided herein.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises,
covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto mutually
agree as follows:

         1.       REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  The Company covenants and agrees as
                    follows:

                 1.1       DEFINITIONS.  For purposes of this Section 1:

                           (a)      The term "register,"  "registered," and
"registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a
Registration Statement or similar document in compliance with the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the declaration or ordering of
effectiveness of such Registration Statement or document.

                           (b)      The term "Registrable Securities" means (i)
the Shares, and (ii) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon
the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is
issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for
or in replacement of, any stock referred to in (i).

                           (c)      The terms "Holder" or "Holders" means the
Purchaser or qualifying transferees under Section 1.9 hereof who hold
Registrable Securities.

                           (d)      The term "SEC" means the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

                           (e)      The term "Registration Statement" means a
registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC in compliance with the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder for a public
offering and sale of its Common Stock (other than a registration statement on a
Limited Purpose Form). As used herein, "Limited Purpose Form" means Form S-8
relating solely to employee stock option or purchase plans, or Form S-4 relating
solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction, or any other form (but excluding Forms
S-1, S-2,

                                       1
<PAGE>

S-3 or S-18, or their successor forms) or any successor to such forms, which
does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be
included in a Registration Statement covering the sale of Registrable
Securities.

                 1.2       COMPANY REGISTRATION.

                           (a)      REGISTRATION.  If at any time or from time
to time, the Company shall determine to register any of its securities, for its
own account or the account of any of its shareholders, other than a registration
on a Limited Purpose Form, the Company will:

                                    (i)     promptly give to each Holder written
notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the
Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue
sky or other state securities laws); and

                                    (ii)    include in such registration (and
compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable
Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within 30 days after
receipt of such written notice from the Company, by any Holder or Holders,
except as set forth in Section 1.2(b) below.

                           (b)      UNDERWRITING.  If the registration of  which
the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an
underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written
notice given pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(i). In such event the right of any
Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be conditioned upon
such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided
herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other shareholders
distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities underwritten
(including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all holders
(including the Holders) of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be so
underwritten, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting
shall be allocated to the holders (including the Holders) of such Registrable
Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities
held by all such holders (including the Holders).

                 1.3 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All expenses incurred in
connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this
Section 1 including without limitation, all registration, filing and
qualification fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company and expenses of any special audits incidental to or required by such
registration, shall be borne by the Company except the Company shall not be
required to pay underwriters' fees, discounts or commissions relating to
Registrable Securities. All expenses of any registered offering not otherwise
borne by the Company shall be borne pro rata among the Holders participating in
the offering and the Company.

                                       2

                 1.4 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In the case of each registration,
qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder participating
therein advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration,
qualification and compliance and as to the completion thereof. At its expense
(except as otherwise provided in Section 1.3), the Company will:

                           (a)      (i) in the case of a registration under
Section 1.2, prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect
to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such
Registration Statement effective for up to 120 days.; and (ii) in the case of a
registration under Section 1.8, take the actions specified in such Section.

                           (b)      Prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus
used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such Registration Statement.

                           (c)      Furnish to the Holders such numbers of
copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with
the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by them.

                           (d)      Use its best efforts to register and qualify
the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions.

                           (e)      In the event of any underwritten public
offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting
agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into
and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

                           (f)      Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the happening of
any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing.

                 1.5       INDEMNIFICATION.

                           (a)      The Company will indemnify each Holder of
Registrable Securities and each of its officers, directors and partners, and
each person controlling such

                                       3
<PAGE>

Holder, with respect to which such registration, qualification or compliance has
been effected pursuant to this Rights Agreement, and each underwriter, if any,
and each person who controls any underwriter of the Registrable Securities held
by or issuable to such Holder, against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and
liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arising out of or based on any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in
any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related
Registration Statement, notification or the like) incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, or any violation or
alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, ("Exchange Act") or any state securities law applicable
to the Company or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or any such state law and relating to action or inaction
required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification
of compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers,
directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, each such
underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, within a
reasonable amount of time after incurred for any reasonable legal and any other
expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling any
such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.5(a) shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld); and provided further, that the Company will not
be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage or
liability arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based
upon written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed
by such Holder or underwriter specifically for use therein.

                           (b)      Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities
held by or issuable to such Holder are included in the securities as to which
such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the
Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the
Company's securities covered by such a Registration Statement, each person who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other
such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners and each person
controlling such Holder, against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in
any such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors,
officers, partners, persons or underwriters for any reasonable legal or any
other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling
any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement)
or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument
duly executed by such Holder specifically for use therein; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.5(b) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such claim,

                                       4
<PAGE>

loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Holder, (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and
provided further, that the total amount for which any Holder shall be liable
under this Section 1.5(b) shall not in any event exceed the aggregate proceeds
received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities held by such
Holder in such registration.

                           (c)      Each party entitled to indemnification under
this Section 1.5 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party
required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after
such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity
may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of
any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for
the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or
litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such party's expense; and provided further, that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, unless such failure resulted in
prejudice to the Indemnifying Party; and provided further, that an Indemnified
Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties which may be represented
without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate
counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if
representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the
Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such
claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such
claim or litigation.

                 1.6 INFORMATION BY HOLDER. Any Holder or Holders of Registrable
Securities included in any registration shall promptly furnish to the Company
such information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed
by such Holder or Holders as the Company may request in writing and as shall be
required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance
referred to herein.

                 1.7 RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available to
Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may
permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without
registration, the Company agrees at all times to:

                           (a)      make and keep public information available,
as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144;

                           (b)      file with the SEC in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act; and

                           (c)      so long as a Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, to furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request a written statement
by the Company as to its compliance

                                       5
<PAGE>

with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144, the Securities Act, and the
Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as the
Holder may reasonably request in complying with any rule or regulation of the
SEC allowing the Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

                 1.8       DEMAND REGISTRATION OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES.

                           (a) If the Company shall receive at any time after
the closing of the Agreement, a written request from the Holder that the Company
file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Registrable
Securities, then the Company shall,

                                    (i) within fifteen (15) days of the receipt
                  thereof, give written acknowledgment of such request to the
                  Holder; and

                                    (ii) subject to the limitations of Sections
                  1.8.b-1.8.d, effect, as soon as practicable, the registration
                  under the Securities Act and all such qualifications and
                  compliances as would permit or facilitate the sale and
                  distribution of all Registrable Securities that the Holder
                  requests to be registered.

                           (b) If the Holder intends to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, the
Holder shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to
this Section 1.8 and the Company shall include such information in the written
notice referred to in Section 1.8(a). In such event, the right of the Holder to
include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned
upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided
herein. If the Holder proposes to distribute its securities through such
underwriting, the Holder shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting (which
underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.8, if the underwriter
advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of securities to be underwritten then the Company shall so advise the
Holder, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall
be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis.
Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be
withdrawn from the registration.

                           (c) If, at the time any written request for
registration is received by the Company pursuant to this Section 1.8, the
Company has determined to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a
registration statement under the Securities Act in connection with the proposed
offer and sale for cash of any of its securities by it or any of its security
holders, such written request shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to
Section 1.2 hereof rather than this Section 1.8, and the rights of the Holder

                 1.9 TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Holders' rights to cause
the Company to register their securities and keep information available, granted
to them by the Company under Sections 1.2, 1.7, and 1.8 may be assigned to a
transferee or assignee of a Holder's Registrable Securities not sold to the
public, provided, that the Company is given written notice by such Holder at the
time of or within a reasonable time after said transfer, stating the name and
address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being assigned. The Company may
prohibit the transfer of any Holders' rights under this Section 1.9 to any
proposed transferee or assignee who the Company reasonably believes is a
competitor of the Company.

                 2.1 WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS. With the written consent of the
record or beneficial holders of at least a majority of the Registrable
Securities, the obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the
Registrable Securities under this agreement may be waived (either generally or
in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively, and either for
a specified period of time or indefinitely), and with the same consent the
Company, when authorized by resolution of its Board of Directors, may enter into
a supplementary agreement for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement;
provided, however, that no such modification, amendment or waiver shall reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Registrable Securities without the consent of all of
the Holders of the Registrable Securities. Upon the effectuation of each such
waiver, consent, agreement of amendment or modification, the Company shall
promptly give written notice thereof to the record holders of the Registrable
Securities who have not previously consented thereto in writing. This Agreement
or any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by
a statement in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the
change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, except to the extent
provided in this Section 2.1.
