                          EXHIBIT A TO AMENDMENT NO. 1
                                TO LOAN AGREEMENT

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

December 1, 2000                                                     $1,775,000

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (hereafter referred to as the
"MAKER") promises to pay to the order of Tekgraf, Inc. (hereinafter referred to
as "PAYEE") at Payee's address at 980 Corporate Woods Parkway, Vernon Hills, IL
60061 or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, the principal
sum of One-Million-Seven-Hundred-Seventy-Five-Thousand Dollars ($1,775,000) (the
"LOAN"), together with interest on so much of the principal balance of the Loan
as may be outstanding and unpaid from time to time, calculated on the basis of a
365 day year and actual days elapsed, at the rate per annum that is one fourth
of a percentage point (.25%) above the rate paid by Payee from time to time
under its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 9,
2000, as amended from time to time, between Payee and Wachovia Bank, National
Association (the "INTEREST RATE").

         This Amended and Restated Promissory Note has been given in connection
with the Loan Agreement dated December 1, 1999 as amended by that certain
Amendment No. 1 to Loan Agreement dated December 1, 2000 between Maker and Payee
(the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), and is entitled to all of the benefits of the Loan
Agreement.

         The principal of and accrued interest on the Loan shall be repayable in
a lump sum on December 1, 2001, or on the next business day if December 1, 2001
falls on a day on which national banks are closed. Any overdue payment of
principal or interest on this Amended and Restated Promissory Note shall bear
interest at the Interest Rate plus 5 percentage points, until paid, but only to
the extent that payment of such interest on overdue principal or interest is
enforceable under applicable law.

         Maker may repay this Amended and Restated Promissory Note in whole or
in part at any time without penalty or premium. Each such prepayment shall be
applied first to unpaid interest accrued through the date of such prepayment,
and then to outstanding principal.

         If maker fails to pay within fifteen (15) days after the due date any
amount payable under this Amended and Restated Promissory Note, or if Maker is
otherwise in default under the Loan Agreement, then this Amended and Restated
Promissory Note shall be in default and Payee, at its option, without demand or
further notice of any kind, may declare this Amended and Restated Promissory
Note immediately due and payable, whereupon all outstanding principal and
accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable.


<PAGE>

         In case this Amended and Restated Promissory Note is collected by or
through an attorney-at-law in the event of a default hereunder, all costs of
collection, including reasonable attorney's fees, shall be paid by Maker.

         Time is of the essence.

         This Amended and Restated Promissory Note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the
State of Illinois. Maker irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and
venue of the courts of any county in the State of Illinois and the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, in any judicial proceeding
brought to enforce this Amended and Restated Promissory Note. Maker agrees that
any forum other than the State of Illinois is an inconvenient forum and that a
lawsuit (or non-compulsory counterclaim) brought against Maker in a court of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Illinois should be forthwith dismissed or
transferred to a court located in the State of Illinois.

         This Note is a restatement of the indebtedness evidenced by, and is a
replacement of, that certain Promissory Note of the undersigned dated December
1, 1999 in the face principal amount of $1,775,000 payable to the order of
Payee, and nothing contained herein or in the Amendment No. 1 to the Loan
Agreement dated December 1, 2000 referred to above shall be construed (i) to
deem paid or forgiven the unpaid principal amount of, or unpaid accrued interest
on, said Promissory Note outstanding at the time of its replacement by this
Amended and Restated Promissory Note , or (ii) to release, cancel, terminate or
otherwise adversely affect all or any part of any lien, mortgage, deed of trust,
assignment, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance heretofore granted to
or for the benefit of the payee of said Promissory Note which has not otherwise
been expressly released.

         Words importing the singular number hereunder shall include the plural
number and vice versa, and any pronoun used herein shall be deemed to cover all
genders. Payee shall not be deemed to waive any of its rights unless such waiver
be in writing and signed by Payee. The word "Payee" as used herein shall include
transferees, successors, and assigns of Payee, and all rights of Payee hereunder
shall inure to the benefit of its transferees, successors and assigns. All
obligations of Maker shall bind his heirs, legal representatives and assigns.

         SIGNED, SEALED, AND DELIVERED by the undersigned as of the date first
written above.
