    Dear
      John:

    

    

    This
      letter is to amend the terms of the employment relationship as reflected in
      the
      letter from Kelly Posch to you dated January 1, 2003. The Board of
      Directors has accepted the recommendation of Zack Bergreen and promoted you
      to the position of President, reporting to Zack Bergreen. The Compensation
      Committee of the Board has determined that an increase in your compensation
      is merited for the new position. Therefore, your new compensation package is
      as
      detailed below, effective immediately. All other terms and conditions of
      employment remain as detailed in the letter of January 1, 2003. You shall
      additionally retain the positions of General Counsel and Secretary.

    

    Your
      annual base salary will be $200,000 payable semi-monthly, less appropriate
      federal, state and local taxes.

    

    You
      will
      receive an additional option grant of 10,000 shares, priced at today’s closing
      market price, with standard four year vesting.

    

    You
      will
      be eligible for a bonus of up to $80,000 based upon the achievement of earnings
      per share (“EPS”) targets as determined each year by the Compensation Committee.
      The Compensation Committee shall make such determination during the first Board
      meeting of each year. The targets for 2005 shall be the same as those set for
      Zack Bergreen. The $80,000 shall be the maximum bonus payout based on EPS.
      The
      Compensation Committee shall set 4 incremental EPS targets, such that you shall
      receive $20,000 upon hitting the first target, an additional $20,000 when
      hitting the next higher target, an additional $20,000 when reaching the third
      target, and a final $20,000 when meeting or exceeding the final EPS threshold.
      Notwithstanding the above, the EPS Bonus for 2005 shall be prorated, such that
      you will receive 25% of the amount otherwise payable pursuant to this
      paragraph.

    

    For
      2005,
      you shall be eligible to receive a discretionary bonus based upon your full
      year
      work in your past and new positions, in an amount to be determined by the
      Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion. For 2006 and beyond,
      you will also be eligible to receive a discretionary bonus of up to $40,000
      per
      year, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole
      discretion. The payment to you of any incentive award on one occasion shall
      not
      be deemed to create an obligation for any subsequent award.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    If
      you
      wish to accept this amendment of the terms of your employment, please sign
      and
      return this original letter to me, keeping a copy for yourself. 

    

    This
      letter does not constitute a contract of employment. It creates an
      employment-at-will relationship that may be terminated at any time by either
      party

    

    I
      look
      forward to working with you for the continued success of Astea. 

    

    

    Sincerely,

    

    /s/

         Re:      Intent to enter into amendment regarding Series C Warrants,
                  Series D Warrants and Registration Rights Agreement
                  ---------------------------------------------------

Dear Investors:

         The purpose of this letter (the "Letter") is to set forth the
intentions of Raptor Networks Technology, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the
"Company") and DMK Investments, LLC, Transglobal Investments, LLC, and Uptrend
Investment, Inc. (collectively, the "Investors") with respect to proposed
amendments to the Series C Warrants, Series D Warrants and Registration Rights
Agreement entered into between the Company and the respective Investors on or
around June 1, 2004 (collectively, the "Agreements"), as set forth herein,
copies of which Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibit A, Exhibit B and
Exhibit C, respectively.

         1. AMENDMENTS TO THE SERIES C WARRANTS. The Company and each of the
         Investors shall enter into an amendment to the Series C Warrants that
         expressly acknowledges that the anti-dilution provisions of the Series
         C Warrants (including, without limitation, the last sentence of Section
         4(d) of the Series C Warrants regarding a proportional increase in the
         number of shares of the Company's common stock into which the Series C
         Warrants are exercisable) were not triggered by the Company's repricing
         of the Series C Warrants from $3.00 per share to $1.25 per share on or
         around August 13, 2004, and will not be triggered by any future
         repricing of the Series C Warrants that is mutually agreed to by the
         Company and the Investors, should such future repricing occur.

         2. AMENDMENTS TO THE SERIES D WARRANTS. The Company and each of the
         Investors shall enter into an amendment to the Series D Warrants that:

                  2.1 reduces the exercise price of the Series D Warrants from
         $3.50 per share to $0.50 per share effective as of the date of the
         amendment;

                  2.2 waives any and all right to anti-dilution protection the
         Investors might otherwise be entitled to as a result of (i) any
         issuance or deemed issuance of securities by the Company prior to, or
         as of, the date of the amendment and (ii) any future issuance or deemed
         issuance of securities by the Company in conjunction with its private
         placement as currently being conducted, and

                  2.3 in order to correct an apparent typo, amends the
         parenthetical clause at the end of the first sentence of Section
         6(c)(i)(A) of the Series D Warrants by replacing it with the following:
         "(which, in the case of a deemed issuance or sale, shall be calculated
         in accordance with subparagraph (iii) below)."

         3. AMENDMENTS TO THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT. The Company and
         each of the Investors shall enter into an amendment to the Registration
         Rights Agreement that:

                  3.1 waives any and all penalties the Investors might otherwise
         be entitled to as a result of the Company failing to file a
         registration statement in accordance with the deadlines set forth in
         the Registration Rights Agreement;

                  3.2 establishes new Company obligations with respect to the
         filing of a registration statement covering the shares of the Company's
         common stock purchased by the Investors on or around June 1, 2004 (the
         "Purchased Shares"), as well as the shares of the Company's common
         stock underlying the Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants
         (collectively, the "Registrable Securities"). These new obligations
         shall supercede any registration requirement pursuant to the original
         terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and shall require that the
         Company register the Registrable Securities in the same registration
         statement filed in conjunction with the Company's private placement
         currently being conducted. The Company shall be obligated to file the
         registration statement within sixty (60) days after the final closing
         of the private placement. For every day the Company is late in filing
         the registration statement beyond such sixty (60) days, the Company
         shall issue to the Investors, on a pro rata basis, additional shares of
         the Company's common stock in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of
         the Purchased Shares until such Registrable Securities are first
         eligible for sale under Rule 144 (as defined below) . The Company shall
         use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the registration
         statement to become effective and remain effective until the earlier to
         occur of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities have
         been publicly sold pursuant to either the registration statement or
         Rule 144 of the of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144"), (ii) the
         date on which all of the Registrable Securities remaining to be sold
         under the registration statement (in the reasonable opinion of counsel
         to the holder of the Registrable Securities) may be immediately sold to
         the public under Rule 144(k) or any successor provision, or (iii) a
         period of two years from the date the registration statement is filed
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and

                  3.3 expressly acknowledges that the Investors consent to the
         Registrable Securities being registered in the same registration
         statement along with such other securities of the Company as the
         Company, in its sole determination, deems appropriate.
