<PAGE>   2

         3.       Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following term:

                  "HH. SHORT TERM NOTE: The promissory note evidencing the Short
         Term Loan."

         4.       Section 2 of the Agreement is hereby amended to add the
following paragraph:

                  "C.       SHORT TERM LOAN. Bank hereby agrees to make a short
         term loan to Borrower in the principal amount of Two Million Five
         Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00). The obligation to
         repay the short term loan is evidenced by a promissory note dated
         August 11, 2000 (the promissory note together with any and all
         renewals, extension or rearrangements thereof being hereinafter
         collected referred to as the "Short Term Note"), having a maturity
         date, repayment terms and interest rate as set forth in the Short Term
         Note.

                  I.       PURPOSE. The Short Term Loan shall be used by
         Borrower for general corporate purposes.

                  II.      COLLATERAL. The Short Term Loan shall be secured by
         the Collateral described in the Security Agreements entered into by
         Bank and Borrower dated February 17, 2000 (collectively the "Security
         Agreement").

                  III.     OBLIGATION. The Short Term Loan shall constitute an
         Obligation of the Borrower as that term is defined in the Security
         Agreement.

         5.       Section 4.B(v) of the Agreement is deleted in its
entirety and in lieu thereof shall read as follows:

                  "(v)     Furnish to Bank monthly borrowing base certificates
         in form and substance acceptable to Bank. The borrowing base
         certificate for the end of each month shall be submitted by the 10th
         business day of the following month. Borrower shall process its work in
         process through the end of such month during the ten day period,
         generate accounts receivable from such work in process and include
         those accounts receivable as of the end of the prior month in the month
         end borrowing base certificate. Borrower shall also furnish to Bank
         accounts receivable agings, a consolidating summary report (showing
         accounts receivable, ineligible accounts receivable by category, earned
         but unbilled accounts receivable, ineligible unbilled accounts
         receivable by category) and a reconciliation of the accounts receivable
         aging to the general ledger, all as of the 15th of the month, with such
         reports to be furnished to Bank by the 25th of the month. Any other
         information that Bank may reasonably require will also be provided in a
         timely manner."

         6.       Bank waives the following:

                  (a)      The failure of the Borrower to provide the monthly
         financial statements for May and June, 2000 and the updated 90-day
         rolling cash flow within 20 days of the

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

         respective month ends; and

                  (b)      The failure of the Borrower on July 15, 2000 to
         reduce the maximum outstanding balance of the Revolving Loan to an
         amount less than or equal to Borrowing Base.

         7.       Borrower acknowledges that the indebtedness comprising the
Short Term Loan is included as an Obligation secured by the Collateral subject
to the Security Agreement (as those terms are defined in the Security
Agreement).

         8.       Borrower shall pay all costs incidental to this Seventh
Modification including but not limited to the fees and expenses of Bank's
counsel.

         9.       In consideration for the waiver of certain defaults, the
modification of the Agreement and the extension of additional credit, Borrower
hereby agrees that Bank shall earn a fee of $100,000.00 upon the execution of
this Seventh Modification. $25,000.00 of this fee shall be paid concurrent with
the execution of the Seventh Modification. Bank agrees that it will waive and
forgive $25,000.00 of the fee if the Short Term Loan is repaid in full on or
prior to September 10, 2000. Bank further agrees that it will waive and forgive
$50,000.00 of this fee if the following conditions are met by August 21, 2000:

                  (a)      Bank receives written confirmation executed by Targus
         Group International, Inc. ("Targus") that the account receivable owed
         by Targus to Borrower as of July 31, 2000 was at least $3,833,130.07
         not subject to any offsets or reductions, accompanied by copies of all
         outstanding invoices to Targus and a copy of the agreement (with any
         amendments) between Borrower and Targus; and

                  (b)      Bank receives either (i) an acceptable credit
         reference from Targus' financial institution; or (ii) current financial
         statements for Targus and a bona fide commitment letter from a third
         party financial institution showing a commitment to provide funding to
         Targus in the amount of at least $70,000,000.00.

         10.      Borrower warrants and represents that (a) the Loan Documents
are valid, binding and enforceable against the Borrower according to their
terms; (b) all warranties and representations made by Borrower in the Loan
Documents are hereby again warranted and represented to be true as of the date
hereof, except with regard to matters expressed only as of a specific time or
which have been supplemented or superseded by disclosures to Bank in writing and
(c) no default presently exists under the Loan Documents. Borrower further
acknowledges that Borrower's obligations evidenced by the Loan Documents are not
subject to any counterclaim, defense or right of set off and Borrower does
hereby release Bank from any claim, known or unknown, that Borrower may have
against Bank as of the execution. Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of
its predecessors, successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, the "Releasing
Parties"), hereby acknowledge and stipulate that as of the date of this Seventh
Modification, none of the Releasing Parties has any claims or causes of action
of any kind whatsoever against Bank or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys, or representatives, or against any of their
respective predecessors, successors, or assigns. Each of the Releasing Parties
hereby forever

                                       3

releases, remises, and discharges Bank and all of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys and representatives, and all of its respective
predecessors, successors, and assigns, from any and all claims, causes of
action, demands, and liabilities of any kind whatsoever, whether direct or
indirect, fixed or contingent, liquidated or nonliquidated, disputed or
undisputed, known or unknown, which any of the Releasing Parties has or may
acquire in the future relating in any way to any event, circumstance, action, or
failure to act from the beginning of time through the date of this Seventh
Modification.

         11.      As amended hereby, the Agreement remains in full effect, and
all agreements among the parties with respect to the subject hereof are
represented fully in this Seventh Modification and the other written documents
among the parties. The provisions of the Agreement regarding the arbitration of
disputes and other general matters also govern this Seventh Modification. The
validity, construction and enforcement hereof shall be determined according to
the substantive laws of the State of Tennessee.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Seventh Modification
to be effective the day and year first above written.

                     TRANSITIONAL SUPPORT SERVICES AGREEMENT

       This Transitional Support Services Agreement (this "Agreement") is made
and entered into on August 14, 2000, but is effective as of July 1, 2000 (the
"Effective Date"), by and between SCB Computer Technology, Inc., a Tennessee
corporation (the "Company"), and Gary E. McCarter, a resident of Tennessee
("McCarter").

       Introduction. McCarter is a former employee of the Company who
voluntarily resigned effective as of June 30, 2000. While with the Company, Mr.
McCarter held the executive offices of Senior Vice President - Finance and
Administration from November 16, 1996, to July 31, 1997; Chief Financial Officer
from August 1, 1997, to November 30, 1999; and President - Enterprise Solutions
Division from December 1, 1999, to June 30, 2000. The parties desire and have
agreed that McCarter will provide certain transitional support services to the
Company for a six-month period ending on December 31, 2000, to help ensure a
smooth transition following his departure. In consideration of the mutual
agreements, covenants and promises contained herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

       1. Appointment and Term. The Company hereby engages McCarter to perform
certain transitional support services for the Company, and McCarter hereby
accepts such engagement with the Company, beginning on the Effective Date and
continuing for a period of six months until December 31, 2000 (the "Expiration
Date"), unless earlier terminated as provided herein.

       2. Duties and Responsibilities. McCarter shall perform such transitional
support services relating to the accounting, financial, operational and other
functions of the Company's business and affairs as the Company may request from
time to time. McCarter shall perform the services on such dates, at such times,
and in such locations as the Company may reasonably request; provided, however,
that McCarter shall have no obligation to occupy an office or keep hours at the
Company's place of business on a regular basis. McCarter shall devote such time
as is reasonably necessary to perform the services in a timely manner. McCarter
shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer of the Company. Upon request by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief
Financial Officer, McCarter shall provide any person associated with the Company
with briefings, reports, updates, and all other information relating to the
transitional support services performed by McCarter for the Company.

       3. Compensation. In full consideration for the services performed by
McCarter under this Agreement, the Company shall pay to McCarter a fee of
$24,810.58 per month during the term of this Agreement. The Company shall pay
the monthly fee in arrears in two equal installments of $12,405.29 on the 15th
and last days of each month. The Company also shall promptly reimburse McCarter
for all reasonable and necessary costs that he incurs in performing the services
under this Agreement, provided that such costs are documented by receipts or
other appropriate evidence relating thereto. If McCarter dies before the
Expiration Date, the Company shall pay the remaining fees that McCarter would
have earned through the Expiration Date, when and as they become due, to
McCarter's estate.

       4. Independent Contractor. The relationship between the Company and
McCarter created by this Agreement is an independent contractor relationship.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, McCarter shall exercise
the sole and exclusive right to control the means and manner of performing the
services under this Agreement.

<PAGE>   2

       5. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration
of its term only as follows:

          a. by the mutual written agreement of the parties, in which case the
termination is effective on the date set forth in such agreement;

          b. by the Company, if McCarter (1) fails to perform any of his
obligations under this Agreement and (2) does not remedy such failure of
performance within 10 days after receiving a written notice thereof from the
Company, in which case the termination is effective at the end of such 10-day
period;

          c. by the Company, if McCarter (1) has a final civil judgment rendered
against him for, or is convicted of or pleads guilty or nolo contendere to, the
commission of fraud, or (2) is convicted after all appeals of, or pleads guilty
or nolo contendere to, the commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery,
falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, or receiving
stolen property, in which case the termination is effective upon the entry of
such judgment, conviction or plea; or

          d. by McCarter, if the Company (1) fails to perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement and (2) does not remedy such failure of
performance within 10 days after receiving a written notice thereof from
McCarter, in which case the termination is effective at the end of such 10-day
period.

         In the event of the termination of this Agreement for any of the
foregoing reasons, the Company shall be obligated to compensate McCarter
pursuant to Section 3 through and including the effective date of termination.

      6. Non-Disclosure and Non-Use of Confidential Information. Without the
prior written consent of the Company, McCarter shall not, directly or
indirectly, at any time after the Effective Date (a) reveal, divulge or
otherwise disclose any Confidential Information (as defined herein) to any
person or entity or (b) use or make use of any Confidential Information in
connection with any activity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, McCarter shall not
be restricted from disclosing Confidential Information that is required to be
disclosed by applicable law or legal process; provided, however, that if
disclosure of any Confidential Information is so required, McCarter shall
provide the Company with prompt written notice of such requirement to enable the
Company to seek an appropriate protective order before any such required
disclosure is made by McCarter. The parties acknowledge and agree that this
Section 6 is not intended to, and does not, alter either the Company's rights or
McCarter's obligations under any applicable law regarding trade secrets and
unfair trade practices. McCarter's obligations under this Section 6 shall not be
affected by, and shall survive, the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement.

      As used in this Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" means any
confidential or proprietary information possessed by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or other affiliates, including, without limitation, any non-public,
confidential Company compilations of supplier lists, details of supplier
contracts, customer lists, details of customer contracts, current or anticipated
customer requirements, pricing policies, price lists, market studies, business
plans, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product or service
development techniques or plans, computer software programs (including object
code and source code), data and documentation, database technologies, systems,
structures and architectures, inventions and ideas, past, current and planned
research and development, designs, compilations, devices, methods, techniques,
processes, financial information, business acquisition plans or strategies, new
personnel acquisition

                                        2

<PAGE>   3

plans or strategies, and any other information that would constitute a trade
secret under the statutory law or common law of the State of Tennessee.

      The provisions of this Section 6 shall not restrict McCarter from using
the skills, expertise, and personal relationships developed during his
employment with the Company to find and engage in future employment, and are not
to be construed as imposing a "non-compete" requirement on McCarter.

      7.    Miscellaneous Provisions

            a. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding between the Company and McCarter and is a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms and conditions of their agreement relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, understandings,
agreements and arrangements, whether written or oral, and whether express or
implied, between the Company and McCarter with respect to the subject matter
hereof, all of which prior negotiations, understandings, agreements and
arrangements are hereby rendered null, void and of no further force or effect.

            b. Notices and Other Communications. All notices and other
communications provided for in this Agreement shall be made in writing, shall be
addressed to the receiving party as set forth below, and shall be delivered
either (a) in person, in which case such notice or other communication shall be
deemed delivered upon its actual receipt, (b) by FedEx, UPS or any other
nationally recognized express delivery service, in which case such notice or
other communication shall be deemed delivered upon its actual receipt, or (c) by
the United States mail, return receipt requested, in which case such notice
shall be deemed delivered three (3) days after the same is deposited in a postal
box under the exclusive control of the United States Postal Service. For the
purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties are as follows:

                    Company:    SCB Computer Technology, Inc.
                                3800 Forest Hill-Irene Road, Suite 100

                                Attention: Chief Executive Officer

                    McCarter:   Gary E. McCarter
                                2830 Cross Country Drive
                                Germantown, TN 38138

Any party may change its address for the purposes hereof by notifying the other
party of such change in the manner provided for herein.

            c. Amendment. This Agreement may be altered, amended, modified or
changed (other than any waiver which shall be effective only if made in
accordance with Section 7.d) only by a written agreement executed by the Company
and McCarter.

            d. Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be waived by any party
hereto unless such waiver is set forth in a written agreement executed by the
waiving party. The waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall
not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other breach of the same or any
other provision of this Agreement.

            e. Modification and Severability. If a court of competent
jurisdiction declares that any provision of this Agreement is illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified automatically to the extent
necessary to make such provision fully legal, valid or enforceable. If

                                        3

<PAGE>   4

such court does not modify any such provision as contemplated herein, but
instead declares it to be wholly illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such
provision shall be severed from this Agreement, this Agreement and the rights
and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed as if this Agreement
did not contain such severed provision, and this Agreement otherwise shall
remain in full force and effect.

            f. Enforceability. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and
shall be enforceable by and against, McCarter and his legal representatives,
executors, administrators, distributees, legatees, heirs and permitted assigns
and the Company and its successors and assigns.

            g. Breach of Covenant. If McCarter breaches or threatens to breach
any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right and remedy to
enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, McCarter from breaching or threatening to
breach such provision and to have such provision specifically enforced by any
court of competent jurisdiction, it being understood and agreed by McCarter that
any such breach or threatened breach would cause irreparable injury to the
Company and that monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the
Company. The rights and remedies referred to in this Section 7.g shall be
independent of each other, shall be severally enforceable, and shall be in
addition to (and not in lieu of) any and all other rights and remedies available
to the Company at law or in equity.

             h. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed
under, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee
without regard to the conflicts-of-laws provisions thereof.

             i. Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the
