Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:
"(b)(i) OBLIGATION TO FILE REGISTRATION STATEMENT. No later
than ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date, AppNet shall
prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") a registration statement under the 1933 Act (the "Registration
Statement") covering all of the Registration Shares. The Registration
Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except that if AppNet, or in the event
of a Change of Control (as defined in Section
-4-
<PAGE>
5.14) that is consummated prior to October 31, 2000, the acquiror in
the Change of Control transaction (the "Acquiror"), is not then
eligible to or elects not to register for resale the Registration
Shares on Form S-3, the Registration Statement shall be on Form S-1 or
another appropriate form in accordance herewith selected by AppNet).
AppNet shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities
Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that AppNet will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that the date of effectiveness is not during a period in which
AppNet and its affiliates are prohibited from trading their AppNet
Common Stock under AppNet's insider trading policy. Subject to Section
5.12(b)(ii), AppNet shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
keep such Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act
until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Registration Statement
has been effective for a total of sixty (60) days, (ii) the date when
all Registration Shares have been sold, or (iii) the date on which the
Registration Shares (or if applicable, the Substituted Shares) become
freely tradeable, or (iv) the consummation of a Change of Control (as
defined in Section 5.14) after October 31, 2000; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that in the event of a Change of Control prior to October 31, 2000,
AppNet will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations hereunder if
the Acquiror fulfills the obligations of AppNet hereunder with respect
to the Substituted Shares (as defined in Section 5.14 of the Agreement)
and the Registration Statement shall cover such Substituted Shares.
AppNet will promptly notify the Stockholders' Representative of the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement. AppNet or the Acquiror,
may, at its option, register additional shares of its Common Stock on
the Registration Statement on behalf of other of its shareholders.
(ii) EFFECTIVENESS OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT. If at any time
or from time to time after the SEC declares the Registration Statement
effective, the Board of Directors of AppNet, in its good faith
judgment, determines that any registration of the Registration Shares
should not be continued because it could adversely effect (including
requiring earlier disclosure of such event) any underwritten offering
by AppNet, any merger, acquisition or similar business combination, or
any other significant corporate event to which AppNet may be a party (a
"Valid Business Reason"), AppNet may cause the Registration Statement
to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated, or may postpone
amending or supplementing the Registration Statement, until such valid
Business Reason no longer exists. AppNet shall give written notice to
the Stockholders' Representative of its determination to postpone or
withdraw the Registration Statement pursuant to this Section
5.12(b)(ii) promptly after its determination. In the event of a Change
of Control that occurs prior to October 31, 2000, the Acquiror shall
have the same rights with respect to the Substituted Shares as AppNet
has with respect to the Registration Shares under this Section
5.12.(b)(ii), including, but not limited to the right to insert
substantially similar legends and other restrictions on the Substituted
Shares."

<PAGE>
1.15. SECTION 5.12.(c). Section 5.12.(c) of the Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
"(c) GUARANTEED SHARES. In the event that the Closing Price
per share of the Guaranteed Shares on the date that the Registration
Statement is first declared effective by the SEC (the "Registration
Price Per Share") is less than Thirty-Four Dollars and Sixty-Five Cents
($34.65) (the "Guaranteed Share Price") (or, in the event that a Change
of Control occurs prior to October 31, 2000, the Guaranteed Share Price
shall be an amount equal to Thirty-Four Dollars and Sixty-Five Cents
($34.65) divided by the exchange ratio offered to other AppNet
shareholders for their AppNet Common Stock), AppNet shall deliver
certified funds to the Stockholders' Representative, within three (3)
business days after the date that the Registration Statement is
declared effective by the SEC, in an amount equal to the difference
between the Guaranteed Share Price and the Registration Price Per
Share, multiplied by the number of Guaranteed Shares actually delivered
at Closing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that the Registration
Price Per Share is equal to or greater than the Guaranteed Share Price,
AppNet shall not be required to deliver any such additional amounts.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Closing Price" shall mean the closing
sale price of a share of AppNet Common Stock or, in the event that a
Change of Control has been consummated prior to October 31, 2000, the
closing sale price of the stock received in exchange for the AppNet
Common Stock, each as reported on the Nasdaq National Market (as
reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby,
another authoritative source as chosen by AppNet or the Acquiror, as
the case may be). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
consideration other than Substituted Shares is received by any
Stockholders in the Change of Control transaction, the amount of such
consideration received with respect to the Guaranteed Shares shall
reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, any amounts required to be paid
pursuant to this Section 5.12(c)."

Without regard to the date on which a Change of Control occurs, so long
as it occurs prior to seven hundred twenty-nine (729) days after the
