On June 28, 1999, Cotelligent, Inc. (the "Company") entered into the first

dated March 12, 1999, among the Company, its consolidated subsidiaries, Bank
Boston N.A., as administrative agent, letter of credit issuer and swingline
lender, and the other banks and financial institutions party thereto (the
"Credit Agreement"). The First Amendment (i) added the requirement that the
Company obtain the consent of a majority of the lenders under the Credit
Agreement if the Company makes a "Restricted Payment"; (ii) changed the minimum
net worth covenant, for each fiscal quarter, from $97,006,500 (plus 100% of the
positive increase in net worth from acquisitions closing after June 30, 1999,
plus 75% of the positive net income beginning January 1, 1999, plus 100% of the
net proceeds from the issuance of capital stock on or after January 1, 1999) to:
after July 1, 1999, 95% of the Company's net worth as of June 30, 1999 (plus
100% of the positive increase in net worth from acquisitions, plus 75% of the
positive net income beginning July 1, 1999, plus 100% of the net proceeds from
the issuance of capital stock on or after July 1, 1999); and (iii) added a new
covenant that the Company's net loss for the June 1999 fiscal quarter could not
be more than $18,000,000.
On November 15, 1999, the Company entered into the second amendment (the "Second
Amendment") to the Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment (i) permitted the
Company to borrow against its revolving acquisition facility to pay certain
earn-out payments in accordance with certain existing asset purchase agreements
("Earn-out Payments"); (ii) permitted the Company to borrow under its revolving
acquisition facility for any fiscal quarter after June 30, 2000 (A) upon the
approval of 100% of the lenders, if EBITDA is equal to or greater than
$7,500,000 or (B) upon the approval of a majority of the lenders, if EBITDA is
equal to or greater than $7,500,000 and the Company has demonstrated compliance
with all financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement; (iii) permitted
the Company to use proceeds from its working capital facility to make Earn-out
Payments; (iv) added the covenant that all late payments and all payments due
after an event of default under the Credit Agreement shall bear interest at a
higher " post-default" rate; (v) provided for higher commitment fees to be paid
to the lenders based on unused portions of the committed facility (such fees to
be raised or lowered in relation to the amount of the current funded debt to
EBITDA ratio); (vi) required mandatory prepayments under the Credit Agreement if
the Company disposes of assets resulting in net proceeds equal to or greater
than $1,000,000; (vii) required that the Company provide financial reports to
the lenders on a monthly basis and provide financial reports to the lenders at
the same time such reports are delivered to the recipients of Earn-out Payments;
(viii) permitted the Company to make Earn-out Payments on the condition that it
either: (A) negotiate a payment schedule for Earn-out Payments in accordance
with a calculation based on the Company's EBITDA; or (B) enter into a
subordinated debt facility or issue capital stock under terms acceptable to 100%
of the lenders; (ix) required the Company to maintain its bank accounts with one
of the lenders; (x) prohibited the Company from making Restricted Payments; (xi)
revised certain financial covenants and suspended their application until the
fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2000; (xii) required that the Company's
net income and EBIT be greater than $1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter
ending December 31, 1999 through the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2000;
(xii) set minimum levels for the Company's EBITDA for the fiscal quarters ending
September 30, 1999 through September 30, 2000; (xiii) added a modified quick
ratio (the ratio of cash plus accounts receivable to current liabilities plus
working capital commitment usage of all lenders) of 1.10:1.00 for the months
ending October 31, 1999 through September 30, 2000; (xiv) added a maximum
capital expenditures covenant limiting capital expenditures to $2,750,000 for
two-quarter rolling periods, beginning on the fiscal quarter ending December 31,
1999 through September 30, 2000; (xv) limited payments of Earn-out Payments with
respect to one asset purchase transaction to the latest possible due date; and
(xvi) changed the definition of majority lenders from 51% to 66 2/3%.
