                              FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT

       Forbearance Agreement dated as of May 17, 2001 (this "AGREEMENT") by and
among AZTEC TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("AZTEC"),
BLUEFLAME INC. (DE) (f/k/a PROFESSIONAL COMPUTER SOLUTIONS, INC.) ("BLUEFLAME"),
as Co-Borrower with respect to $15,000,000 in outstanding principal amount of
Acquisition Loans (Aztec and Blueflame, collectively called the "BORROWER"),
FLEET NATIONAL BANK (f/k/a BANKBOSTON, N.A.) and the other lending institutions
listed on SCHEDULE 1 to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (the
"BANKS"), with respect to the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of July 27,
1998 (as amended and in effect from time to time, the "CREDIT AGREEMENT") by and
among the Borrower, the Banks and Fleet National Bank (f/k/a BankBoston, N.A.)
as agent for the Banks (the "AGENT"). Terms not otherwise defined herein which
are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same respective meanings
herein as therein.

       WHEREAS, the Borrower has failed to pay the Loans in full at maturity on
April 30, 2001 (the "EXISTING EVENT OF DEFAULT"), which failure is an Event of
Default under Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement; and

       WHEREAS, the Banks have agreed with the Borrower, subject to the terms
and conditions contained herein, to forbear from exercising certain remedies
provided for in the Credit Agreement which may be available to the Banks after
the occurrence and during the continuance of the Existing Event of Default;

       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

       SECTION 1.    FORBEARANCE.

       (a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4 below, the Banks and the Agent agree, for the period commencing on the
Effective Date (as defined in Section 1(c) below) and terminating on the
earliest of (i) June 30, 2001, (ii) the failure of the Borrower to perform fully
and timely any of its obligations provided in this Agreement, (iii) the filing
of any litigation or other proceeding or exercise of any remedies against the
Borrower by any employee of BlueFlame Inc. (DE) in respect of or related to the
Borrower's obligations under the PCSI Key Employee Agreements each dated May 15,
1998 between Aztec and each of the eight employees identified in the respective
Schedule 1 attached thereto, or (iv) the occurrence of a Event of Default (other
than the Existing Event of Default) under the Credit Agreement or the occurrence
of a Default under the Credit Agreement and its continuance beyond any
applicable grace or cure periods provided therefor in the Credit Agreement (the
"FORBEARANCE PERIOD"), to forebear from exercising any remedies permitted under
the Credit Agreement in respect of the Existing Event of Default, but the Banks
and the Agent shall not be restricted from exercising other rights arising as a
consequence of the Existing Event of Default. Borrower hereby acknowledges the
Existing Event of Default and further acknowledges that this Agreement does not
extend to any existing or future Default or Event of Default other than the
Existing Event of

<Page>

Default, and does not in any way limit the rights of the Agent and the Banks to
exercise their rights (i) with respect to any other such existing or future
Default or Event of Default at any time or (ii) with respect to the Existing
Event of Default following the termination or expiration of the Forbearance
Period.

       (b)    During the Forbearance Period, the Borrower shall be permitted to
borrow Revolving Credit Loans to the extent of availability notwithstanding the
Existing Event of Default; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Borrower is in compliance
with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than the
representations and warranties in Section 8.4.4 of the Credit Agreement) and
that no Event of Default other than the Existing Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. Nothing in this Agreement shall, however, be
construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in the Existing Event of Default, which
shall continue in existence subject only to the agreement of the Banks and the
Agent set forth herein not to enforce certain remedies for a limited period of
time. Except as expressly provided herein, the execution and delivery of this
Agreement shall not: (i) constitute an extension, modification, or waiver of any
aspect of the Credit Agreement; (ii) extend the terms of the Credit Agreement or
the due date of any of the Obligations; (iii) give rise to any obligation on the
part of the Agent or the Banks to extend, modify or waive any term or condition
of the Credit Agreement; or (iv) give rise to any defenses or counterclaims to
the Agent's or the Banks' right to demand payment of the Obligations or to
otherwise enforce their rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement.
Following termination of the Forbearance Period, the Agent and the Banks shall
be entitled to enforce the Credit Agreement according to the original terms of
the Credit Agreement, as the Credit Agreement has been heretofore amended from
time to time.

       (c)    For purposes of this Agreement, "EFFECTIVE DATE" shall mean
May 17, 2001.

       (d)    From April 30, 2001 through the end of the Forbearance Period,
notwithstanding Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent and the Banks
shall not impose the default rate of interest provided in Section 6.11 of the
Credit Agreement so long as the Borrower is in compliance with all of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and no Event of Default other than the Existing
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Agent and the Banks shall retain the right to charge the default rate of
interest provided in Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement retroactively to April
30, 2001 upon expiration of the Forbearance Agreement unless the Obligations
shall have been paid in full or the Agent and the Banks shall otherwise agree.

       SECTION 2.  AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF BORROWER DURING FORBEARANCE PERIOD.

       (a)    The Borrower and/or the Guarantors shall pay all interest on the

the Guarantors and the business plan described in Section 4(a) below.

              (ii) The Borrower and each Guarantor shall cooperate with the
Financial Consultant in affording the Financial Consultant access to all of the
Borrower's and the Guarantors' and their Subsidiaries' books and records and
projections and information regarding revenues and other matters reasonably
requested by the Financial Consultant and making available on a reasonable basis
officers and managers to answer the Financial Consultant's questions about the
foregoing and other matters concerning the businesses and finances of the
Borrower, the Guarantors and their Subsidiaries, without regard to the specific
provisions of Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement.

       (c)    The Borrower and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Agent and the
Banks for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) incurred by the Agent or any Bank in connection with this Agreement
and the Credit Agreement within 30 days after the submission of any invoice
therefor by the Agent or any Bank, and shall be jointly and severally liable
therefor.

       (d)    Within 10 days after the later of (i) the Effective Date or (ii)
the date upon which the Lenders shall have provided the Borrower with all
information requested and corrections and comments on the Form S-1, the Borrower
shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") with respect to the warrant shares that would be issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants issued to the Banks on September 30, 2000 and
January 31, 2001. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the SEC to declare such Registration Statement effective as promptly as
practicable.

       (e)    The Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to the Agent
on or before May 30, 2001, a fully executed blocked account agreement and/or
control agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Agent with respect to
any bank account, money market fund, certificate of deposit or other similar
cash equivalent investment of the Borrower or any Guarantor or Subsidiary for
which such an agreement is not then in force.

       (f)    The Borrower covenants that none of the Borrower or any Guarantor
or Subsidiary will establish any new bank account, money market fund,
certificate of deposit or other similar cash equivalent investment without prior
written notice to the Agent and prior delivery of a fully executed blocked
account agreement and/or control agreement in form and substance acceptable to
the Agent with respect to such account or investment.

       (g)    On each Business Day during the Forbearance Period, the Borrower
shall cause all cash balances held by the Borrower or any Guarantor or any of
their respective Subsidiaries in bank accounts, money market funds, certificates
of deposit and similar cash equivalent investments, in excess of $2 million in
the aggregate, to be swept to Aztec's operating account no. 378559 at Fleet
National Bank and applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the
Revolving Credit Loans (which may be reborrowed to the extent provided in
Section 1(b) above).

       (i)    The Borrower shall cause 100% of the Tax Refund to be paid to the
Agent for application as a prepayment and permanent reduction of the Acquisition
Loans, in lieu of the 75% provided in Section 4.8.3 of the Credit Agreement, and
the Borrower shall no longer be entitled to retain and use 25% of the Tax Refund
as provided in Section 4.8.3 of the Credit Agreement. The Borrower shall cause
the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") to direct deposit the Tax Refund into
Aztec's operating account no. 378559 at Fleet National Bank and authorizes the
Agent to apply the Tax Refund to prepayment of the Acquisition Loans upon
deposit thereof or at any time thereafter. The Borrower shall notify the Agent
by telephone and email immediately upon receipt of any notice or actual
knowledge that the IRS has or will deposit such Tax Refund in such account.

       (j)    During the Forbearance Period, the Borrower shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause CIT Lending Services Corporation ("CIT") to increase
the amount CIT would be willing to lend as an initial advance against the
existing accounts receivable of the Borrower and the Guarantors above the $13-18
million currently estimated by CIT, and the Borrower will continue to use
commercially reasonable efforts to find additional sources of equity or
financing to repay the Obligations.

       (k)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Banks and the Agent shall have
no obligation to release Collateral in respect of or otherwise accept less than
a full payoff of all Obligations to the Banks. During the Forbearance Period,
the Borrower shall also work with the Agent, the Banks and the Financial
Consultant to make a current evaluation of the operations, projections and
business plans of the Borrower and the Guarantors to develop a proposal for a
restructuring of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement.

       (l)    During the Forbearance Period, Aztec shall continue to maintain
its engagement with Pelletier & Associates, or another consultant selected by
the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Banks.

       (m)    During the Forbearance Period, the Borrower and the Guarantors
shall continue to hold bi-weekly conference calls among the Borrower and the
Guarantors and the Agent and the Banks in accordance with Section 9.4(i) of the
Credit Agreement. During the Forbearance Period, notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 9.4(i) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall
provide bi-weekly cash flow reports to the Agent and the Banks one business day
in advance of each such conference call. Such cash flow reports shall show
actual performance compared to projections for the relevant period and shall
include accounts receivable reports showing aging of accounts receivable by
Subsidiary.

       (n)    The Borrower and the Guarantors shall evaluate any claims any of
them may have against U.S. Office Products Company ("USOP") and shall make
appropriate filings to preserve such claims in connection with the bankruptcy
proceedings of USOP.

                                  AMENDMENT TO
                    FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT AND LIMITED WAIVER

         Amendment and Limited Waiver dated as of June 21, 2001 (this
"Amendment") to Forbearance Agreement dated as of May 17, 2001 (the "Forbearance
Agreement") by and among AZTEC TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Aztec"), ("BLUEFLAME INC. (DE) (f/k/a PROFESSIONAL COMPUTER SOLUTIONS, INC.)
("BlueFlame" and together with Aztec, collectively called the "Borrower"), as
Co-Borrower with respect to $15,000,000 in outstanding principal amount of
Acquisition Loans under the Credit Agreement (as defined below), FLEET NATIONAL
BANK (f/k/a BANKBOSTON, N.A.) and the other lending institutions listed on
SCHEDULE 1 to the Credit Agreement (the "Banks") relating to the Revolving
Credit Agreement dated as of July 27, 1998 by and among the Borrower, the Banks
and the Agent (as amended and in effect from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement"). Terms not otherwise defined herein which are defined in the
Forbearance Agreement, or if not defined therein, in the Credit Agreement, shall
have the same respective meanings herein as therein

         WHEREAS, a default has occurred under Section 2(m) of the Forbearance
Agreement in that the Borrower and Guarantors were required to provide bi-weekly
cash flow reports to the Agent and the Banks, showing actual performance
compared to projections for the relevant period and to include accounts
receivable reports showing aging of accounts receivable by Subsidiary, one
business day in advance of each bi-weekly conference call (the "Bi-Weekly
Financials" ), and the Borrower and the Guarantors did not deliver such cash
flow reports to the Agent and the Banks one business day in advance of the May
31, 2001 conference call; and

         WHEREAS, the Agent notified the Borrower of such default on June 1,
2001 and the Borrower has requested that the Banks waive such default; and

         WHEREAS, the Banks have agreed with the Borrower, subject to the terms
and conditions contained herein, to modify certain terms and conditions of the
Forbearance Agreement and grant such waiver as specifically set forth in this
Amendment;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements, contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

         SECTION 1. WAIVER. The Banks hereby waive the Borrower's failure to
comply with Section 2(m) of the Forbearance Agreement with respect to the
Borrower's failure to provide the Bi-Weekly Financials in accordance with
Section 2(m) of the Forbearance Agreement for the May 31, 2001 conference call,
and any Default or Event of Default (and only such Defaults and Events of
Default) arising under the Credit Agreement that would otherwise be caused as a
result of such failure, and not with respect to any failure to comply with such
Section 2(m) that may occur on any date subsequent to May 31, 2001.

         SECTION 2. LIMITATION ON BORROWINGS; AMENDMENT TO SECTION 1 (b) OF
FORBEARNCE AGREEMENT. Section 1 of the Forbearance Agreement is hereby amended
by deleting subsection (b) thereof in its entirety and substituting the
following in its place:

                                        1

<Page>

         (b) During the Forbearance Period notwithstanding the Existing Event of
Default, the Borrower shall be permitted to borrow Revolving Credit Loans to the
extent of availability and otherwise under the terms of the Credit Agreement as
if the Commitment had not been terminated, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such
Borrowing does not cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving
Credit Loans to exceed $9,000,000 at any time during the Forbearance Period and
(ii) the Borrower is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (other than the representations and warranties in Section 8.4.4 of the
Credit Agreement) and that no Event of Default other than the Existing Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Nothing in this Agreement shall,
however, be construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in the Existing Event of
Default, which shall continue in existence subject only to the agreement of the
Banks and the Agent set forth herein not to enforce certain remedies for a
limited period of time. Except as expressly provided herein, the execution and
delivery of this Agreement shall not: (i) constitute an extension, modification,
or waiver of any aspect of the Credit Agreement; (ii) extend the terms of the
Credit Agreement or the due date of any of the Obligations; (iii) give rise to
any obligation on the part of the Agent or the Banks to extend modify or waive
any term or condition of the Credit Agreement; or (iv) give rise to any defenses
or counterclaims to the Agent's or the Banks' right to demand payment of the
Obligations or to otherwise enforce their rights and remedies under the Credit
Agreement. Following termination of the Forbearance Period, the Agent and the
Banks shall be entitled to enforce the Credit Agreement according to the
original terms of the Credit Agreement, as the Credit Agreement has been
heretofore amended from time to time.

         SECTION 3. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 11 OF FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT. Section 11
of the Forbearance Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety
and replacing it with the following:

         SECTION 11. AMENDMENTS. Neither this Amendment nor any provision hereof
may be modified, supplemented, waived or amended, except pursuant to a written
agreement, consent or waiver executed and delivered by the Agent and the
Majority Banks or such greater number of Banks as would be required pursuant to
Section 27 of the Credit Agreement with respect to an equivalent modification,
supplement, waiver or amendment to the Credit Agreement.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any amendment to this Forbearance Agreement that would permit the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans to exceed
$9,000,000 at any time during the Forbearance Period shall require the prior
written consent to the Agent and all of the Banks.

         SECTION 4. CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS. This Amendment shall become
effective only upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

                    (a) this Amendment shall have been executed by each
Borrower, all of the Banks and the Agent and the Ratification of Guaranty in the
form attached hereto shall have been executed by each Guarantor; and

                    (b) the Borrower shall have paid all reasonable expenses,
including legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Agent and the Banks in
connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby and any
other expenses, legal fees and disbursements required to be paid pursuant to
Section 17.1 of the Credit Agreement and not heretofore paid by the Borrower for
which an invoice has been submitted.

                                        2

<Page>

         SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Borrower hereby
represents and warrants that (a) the execution and delivery by the Borrower and
each Guarantor of this Amendment and the performance by the Borrower and each
Guarantor of all of its agreements and obligations under the Credit Agreement
and the Forbearance Agreement as amended hereby and the other Loan Documents are
within the corporate authority of the Borrower and each Guarantor and have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Borrower
and each Guarantor party thereto.

         SECTION 6. RATIFICATION, ETC. Except as expressly amended hereby, the
Forbearance Agreement and the Credit Agreement and all documents, instruments
and agreements related thereto, including, but not limited to the Security
Documents, are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall continue
in full force and effect. The Forbearance Agreement and this Amendment shall be
read and construed as a single agreement. All references in the Forbearance
Agreement or any related agreement or instrument to the Forbearance Agreement
shall hereafter refer to the Forbearance Agreement as amended hereby. All
references in the Credit Agreement or any related agreement or instrument to the
Credit Agreement shall hereafter refer to the Credit Agreement as affected by
the Forbearance Agreement and this Amendment.

         SECTION 7. NO WAIVER. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a
waiver of, impair or otherwise affect any Obligations, any other obligation of
the Borrower or any rights of the Agent or the Banks consequent thereon, except
such waivers as are specifically set forth in Section 1 hereof.

         SECTION 8. RELEASE OF CLAIMS. The Borrower and, by executing the
attached Ratification of Guaranty, each of the Borrower's Subsidiaries hereby
releases the Agent and the Banks and all agents, officers, directors,
shareholders, or anyone acting at the direction or control of the Agent or each
of all Banks from any and all liabilities and claims under the Credit Agreement,
the Forbearance Agreement, this Amendment, the Registration Rights Agreement or
any Security Documents or otherwise in connection with the transactions
contemplated thereby, except those arising after the time of execution and
delivery of this Amendment.

         SECTION 9. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

         SECTION 10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
(WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICT OF LAWS).

         SECTION 11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Amendment, together with the
Forbearance Agreement contains the entire understanding among the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions,
express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained.

         SECTION 12. AMENDMENTS. Neither this Amendment nor any provision hereof
may be modified, supplemented, waived or amended, except pursuant to Section 11
of the Forbearance Agreement.

                                        3

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as
a document under seal as of the date first above written.
