                         Notes To Financial Statements


1.             BASIS OF PRESENTATION

               The financial statements as of March 31, 1997 and for the three
         and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited and
         reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
         adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
         fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for
         the interim periods. The financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, together
         with management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
         results of operations, contained in the Company's Registration
         Statement on Form S-1 which was declared effective on October 30, 1996,
         the Company's Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 1996 and
         September 30, 1996, and in this report on Form 10-Q.

               The results of operations for the interim periods ended March 31,
         1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
         the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997 or any other future periods.

2.             SALE OF COMMON STOCK

               The Company consummated an Initial Public Offering of Common
         Stock which closed on November 4, 1996 and December 4, 1996. The
         Company offered and sold an aggregate of 2,823,237 shares of Common
         Stock at an initial public offering price of $7.50. The net proceeds to
         the Company from the initial public offering, after payment of offering
         expenses, were approximately $18,442,000.

3.             NET LOSS PER SHARE

               Net loss per share was calculated by dividing net loss by the
         weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the respective
         periods adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents,
         which consist of stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock
         method. The calculation of shares used in computing net loss per share
         also includes 6,000,000 shares of Redeemable Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock which converted into 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock
         upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, as if they were
         converted to Common Stock on their original date of issuance.

               In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
         Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). SFAS No. 128 is effective for fiscal years
         ending after December 15, 1997, and, when adopted, will require
         restatement of prior years' earnings per share. If the Company had
         adopted SFAS No. 128 for the period ending March 31, 1997, there would
         have been no effect on earnings per share, on either the basic or
         diluted basis.

4.             REVENUE RECOGNITION

               The Company generates revenues from two sources: fees from
         product licenses and fees for services provided. Product revenues
         include a combination of initial license fees and recurring payments
         such as royalties based on a percentage of licensees' sales or units
         shipped, or pre-determined periodic license fees. Product revenues from
         initial license fees are generally recognized upon shipment, provided
         that there are no significant post-delivery obligations, the payment is
         due within one year and collection of the resulting receivable is
         deemed probable. Royalty revenues are recognized at the time of the
         customer's shipment of products incorporating the Company's technology.
         Recurring product license fees are generally recognized at the
         inception of the renewal period, provided that there are no significant
         post-delivery obligations (if any delivery has been made), the payment
         is due within one year and collection of the resulting receivable is
         deemed probable. Service revenues from customer support, including the
         amounts bundled with initial or recurring license fees, are recognized
         over the term of the support period, which is typically one year.
         Service revenues from engineering fees are recognized upon customer
         acceptance or over the period in which services are provided if
         customer acceptance is not required.

                  This report contains forward-looking statements which involve
            risks and uncertainties. Such statements are subject to certain
            factors which may cause the Company's plans and results to differ.
            Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited
            to, the rate of progress, if any, of the Company's product
            development programs and the uncertainty of acceptance of the
            Company's products in the marketplace, the uncertain development of
            the Internet and its use as a means for voice communications, the
            highly competitive nature of the Company's industry and the
            Company's ability to compete successfully, the Company's ability to
            attract and retain qualified personnel, the Company's ability to
            successfully enter into and maintain relationships with third
            parties and the Company's dependence on such third parties to
            develop and market products using the Company's technology and to
            develop a recurring revenue stream to the Company, the Company's
            ability to manage its growth, the costs involved in obtaining and
            enforcing patents and any necessary licenses, the Company's ability
            to obtain additional funds, and those other risks discussed in the
            Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-08393.

            Overview

                  The Company develops, markets, licenses and supports digital
            speech processing and audio technologies and solutions. Voxware's
            MetaVoice(TM) and MetaSound(TM) coding technologies are designed to
            reproduce high-quality speech and audio while requiring very low
            communications bandwidth and processing power. Voxware's
            technologies enable users to create a new generation of
            audio-enhanced communications and interactive products for the
            Internet and other bandwith-constrained environments. The Company
            licenses its technologies, including its codecs and
            application-programming interfaces, to software, computing,
            communications, and entertainment companies.

 
                  From inception (August 20, 1993) to June 30, 1995, the
            Company's operating activities related primarily to performing
            research and development, recruiting personnel, raising capital and
            purchasing operating assets. The Company commenced product releases
            in July 1995 and, for accounting purposes, emerged from the
            development stage commencing in July 1995. Since inception, the
            Company has raised net proceeds of approximately $28,329,000 as
            follows: approximately $8,838,000 through private placements;
            approximately $18,442,000 through the Initial Public Offering which
            was declared effective on October 30, 1996; and approximately
            $1,049,000 through other sales of equity securities, including
            exercises of all outstanding common stock warrants.

                  The Company generates revenues from two sources: fees from
            product licenses and fees for services provided. Product revenues
            account for a majority of the Company's revenues. The Company's
            products are licensed primarily to software, computing and
            communications companies which incorporate the Company's products
            and technologies into their products. The Company generally
            negotiates contract terms with customers on a case by case basis,
            with arrangements that have historically included a combination of
            initial license fees and royalties and other recurring payments. One
            of the Company's objectives is to develop recurring revenue through
            entering into licensing agreements with third parties which provide
            for recurring payments such as royalties based on a percentage of
            licensees' sales or an agreed-upon amount per unit shipped, or
            pre-determined annual or other periodic payments. As a result, the
            timing and amount of the Company's revenues are substantially
            dependent on the timing and efforts of the Company's licensees in
            developing and marketing products incorporating the Company's
            products and technologies. There can be no assurance as to the
            timing or success of any licensee implementation or the timing or
            amount of recurring revenues from any licensee product. Since
            inception, the Company has entered into over 60 license agreements,
            the majority of which provide for recurring license or royalty
            payments. Service revenues consist of customer support and
            engineering fees. Customer support services include providing
            updates 

                                       7

            and technical support to licensees of the Company's products.
            Engineering services include providing technical resources to
            support customer specific development efforts or porting the
            Company's technologies to specific customer platforms.
 
                  Software product revenues are generally recognized upon
            shipment, provided that there are no significant post-delivery
            obligations, the payment is due within one year and collection of
            the resulting receivable is deemed probable. If an acceptance period
            is required, revenues are recognized upon customer acceptance.
            Royalty revenues are recognized in the period of customer shipment.
            For the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997, respectively,
            approximately $688,000 and $1,303,000 of royalties and recurring
            license fees have been recognized. Customer support revenues,
            including amounts bundled with license fees, are recognized over the
            term of the support period, which typically lasts for one year.
            Engineering fees are recognized upon customer acceptance or over the
            period in which services are provided if customer acceptance is not
            required. All research and development costs have been expensed as
            incurred.

                  The Company has only a limited operating history upon which an
            evaluation of the Company and its prospects can be based. As of
            March 31, 1997, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
            $10,526,000. Although the Company has experienced revenue growth in
            recent periods, the limited operating history of the Company makes
            the prediction of future results of operations impossible and,
            therefore, the Company's recent revenue growth should not be taken
            as indicative of the rate of revenue growth, if any, that can be
            expected in the future. In addition, the Company's operating results
            may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety
            of factors, including the level of usage of the Internet, the
            budgeting cycles of potential customers, the volume of, and revenues
            derived from sales of products by the Company's licensees that
            incorporate the Company's products, the amount and timing of capital
            expenditures and other costs relating to the expansion of the
            Company's operations, the introduction of new products or services
            by the Company or its competitors, pricing changes in the industry,
            technical difficulties with respect to the use of products developed
            by the Company and general economic conditions.




            Results of Operations

               Revenues

                  Total revenues increased $1,906,000 from $506,000 in the three
            months ended March 31, 1996 to $2,412,000 in the three months ended
            March 31, 1997 as a result of the Company entering into an
            increasing number of license agreements providing customers with the
            right to use the Company's products and related services, and an
            increase in the amount of royalties and other recurring revenues
            recognized from customers who licensed the Company's products in
            previous periods. On a year-to-date basis, total revenues increased
            $4,420,000 from $707,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 to
            $5,127,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. One of the
            Company's largest customers accounted for 16% and 17% of total
            revenues in the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997,
            respectively, and another of the Company's largest customers
            accounted for 29% and 14% of total revenues in the three and nine
            month periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively.

 
                  Product revenues increased $1,831,000 from $504,000 in the
            three months ended March 31, 1996 to $2,335,000 in the three months
            ended March 31, 1997. For the nine months ended March 31, 1997,
            product revenues totaled $4,922,000 compared to $704,000 for the
            nine months ended March 31, 1996, reflecting an increase of
            $4,218,000. These dollar increases in product revenues were
            primarily due to the increased volume of licenses of the Company's
            products to new customers, and an increase in the amount of
            royalties and other recurring revenues recognized from customers who
            licensed the Company's products in previous periods. For the three
            and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997, approximately 71% and
            74% of the Company's product revenues were attributable to initial
            license fees, respectively, and 29% and 26% were attributable to
            royalties and annual or other periodic payments, 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
            respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended March 31,
            1996, all of the Company's product revenues were attributable to
            initial license fees.
 
                  During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company
            recognized $1,647,000 in initial license fees related to sixteen
            agreements, compared to $504,000 in initial license fees related to
            seven agreements for the three months ended March 31, 1996. For the
            nine months ended March 31, 1997, the Company recognized $3,619,000
            in initial license fees related to thirty-eight agreements, compared
            to $704,000 in initial license fees related to fourteen agreements
            for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. Additionally, for the
            three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company recognized $688,000
            in royalties and recurring product license fees, which were derived
            from a total of seven customers. For the nine months ended March 31,
            1997, the Company recognized $1,303,000 in royalties and recurring
            product license fees, which were derived from a total of seven
            customers. Of those seven customers, one customer generated
            royalties or recurring product license fees in each of the three
            fiscal quarters during the nine months ended March 31, 1997, three
            customers generated royalties or recurring product license fees in
            the second and third fiscal quarters during the nine months ended
            March 31, 1997, and the remaining three customers generated
            royalties or recurring product license fees in the third fiscal
            quarter during the nine months ended March 31, 1997. No royalties or
            recurring product license fees were recognized during the three or
            nine months ended March 31, 1996.

                  Service revenues were $77,000 for the three months ended March
            31, 1997 compared to $2,000 for the three months ended March 31,
            1996 and $205,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 compared
            to $3,000 for the comparable nine month period ended March 31, 1996.
            Service revenues were primarily attributable to customer support and
            fees for engineering.

               Cost of Revenues

                  Cost of product revenues increased $100,000 from $3,000 in the
            three months ended March 31, 1996 to $103,000 in the three months
            ended March 31, 1997. For the nine months ended March 31, 1997, cost
            of product revenues totaled $148,000 compared to $9,000 for the
            comparable nine month period ended March 31, 1996, reflecting an
            increase of $139,000. These increases in cost of product revenues
            were primarily due to the costs of licensed technology, product
            media and duplication, manuals and packaging materials related to
            the increased volume of licenses of the Company's products to new
            customers.

                  Cost of service revenues consists primarily of the expenses
            associated with the staffing of a customer support group and
            engineering services, which consist primarily of employee
            compensation and equipment depreciation. Cost of service revenues
            increased $38,000 from $5,000 in the three months ended March 31,
            1996 to $43,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997, and
            increased $110,000 from $10,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
            1996 to $120,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. These
            dollar increases in cost of service revenues from the three and nine
            months ended March 31, 1996 to the three and nine months ended March
            31, 1997 were primarily attributable to increased staffing of the
            Company's customer support and engineering groups.

               Operating Expenses

                  The Company's operating expenses have continued to increase in
            each quarter since inception. This trend reflects the costs
            associated with the development of infrastructure, rapid growth and
            increased efforts to commercialize the Company's products and
            services. The Company believes that, over the long term, continued
            expansion of its operations would enhance the Company's products and
            services and ability to distribute them in targeted markets and
            expand the Company's installed user base.

                  Research and development expenses primarily consist of
            employee compensation and equipment depreciation and lease
            expenditures related to product research and development. Research
            and development expenses increased $1,474,000 from $630,000 in the
            three months ended March 31, 1996 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
            to $2,104,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997. For the nine
            months ended March 31, 1997, research and development expenses were
            $6,042,000 compared to $1,203,000 for the nine months ended March
            31, 1996, reflecting an increase of $4,839,000. These dollar
            increases in research and development expenses were primarily due to
            increasing the research and development staff from eleven at March
            31, 1996 to fifty at March 31, 1997 and the costs associated with
            developing and enhancing the functionality of the Company's family
            of products. The Company believes that significant investments in
            research and development are required to establish and maintain
            competitive advantage and, as a result, the Company intends to
            increase the absolute dollar level of research and development
            expenditures in future periods.

                  Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee
            compensation (including direct sales commissions), travel expenses,
            trade shows and costs of promotional materials. Sales and marketing
            expenses increased $834,000 from $331,000 in the three months ended
            March 31, 1996 to $1,165,000 in the three months ended March 31,
            1997. On a year-to-date basis, sales and marketing expenses
            increased $2,415,000 from $637,000 for the nine months ended March
            31, 1996 to $3,052,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.
            These dollar increases in sales and marketing expenses were
            primarily due to the expansion of the Company's sales force and
            marketing staff from four at March 31, 1996 to seventeen at March
            31, 1997, and increased expenses associated with the promotion and
            marketing of the Company's products and services. The Company
            intends to continue to intensify and expand its direct and
            tele-sales efforts and, as a result, intends to increase the
            absolute dollar level of sales and marketing expenses in future
            periods.

                  General and administrative expenses consist primarily of
            employee compensation and fees for insurance, rent, office expenses
            and professional services. General and administrative expenses
            increased $480,000 from $298,000 in the three months ended March 31,
            1996 to $778,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997. For the
            nine months ended March 31, 1997, general and administrative
            expenses totaled $2,513,000 compared to $538,000 for the nine months
            ended March 31, 1996, reflecting a year-to-date increase of
            $1,975,000. These dollar increases in general and administrative
            expenses were primarily due to increasing the administrative staff
            from seven at March 31, 1996 to twenty-one at March 31, 1997 and
            increased expenses related to insurance, rent, office expenses and
            professional services. The Company expects that the absolute dollar
            level of general and administrative expenses for the three months
            ended June 30, 1997 will remain fairly consistent with the absolute
            dollar level of general and administrative expenses for the three
            months ended March 31, 1997.

               Interest Income

                  Interest income increased $208,000 to $259,000 for the quarter
            ended March 31, 1997 from $51,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
            1996. On a year-to-date basis, interest income increased $400,000 to
            $485,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 compared to
            $85,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. These increases in
            interest income primarily reflect interest earned on the net
            proceeds from the Initial Public Offering closed during November and
            December 1996 (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources").

               Income Taxes

                  As of March 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $9,600,000
            of federal net operating loss carryforwards which will begin to
            expire in 2009 if not utilized. As of March 31, 1997, the Company
            has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset
            because of the uncertainty regarding realizability of these deferred
            assets, primarily as a result of considering such factors as the
            Company's limited operating history, the volatility of the market in
            which it competes, the operating losses incurred to date and the
            operating losses anticipated in future periods.

            Liquidity and Capital Resources

                  As of March 31, 1997, the Company had $1,075,000 in cash and
            cash equivalents and $16,324,000 in short-term investments. The
            Company's cash and short-term investments portfolio is liquid and
            investment grade, consisting of high-grade money-market funds,
            United States Government-backed securities and commercial paper and
            corporate obligations. Since inception, the Company has primarily
            financed its operations through the sale of equity securities.

                  Cash of $1,703,000 and $5,475,000 was used to fund operations
            for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. For
            the nine months ended March 31, 1996, cash used in investing
            activities was $240,000 and was related to purchases of equipment.
            For the nine months ended March 31, 1997, cash used in investing
            activities totaled $16,491,000 which reflects $16,330,000 in net
            purchases of short-term investments and $161,000 related to
            purchases of equipment. For the nine months ended March 31, 1997,
            cash provided by financing activities totaled $19,204,000,
            reflecting $18,442,000 in net proceeds from the Initial Public
            Offering and $762,000 in proceeds from the exercise of common stock
            warrants. For the nine months ended March 31, 1996, cash provided by
            financing activities totaled $5,931,000 and was attributable to the
            issuance of Series A Preferred Stock. All Series A Preferred Stock
            converted into Common Stock upon the closing of the Initial Public
            Offering.

                  The Company maintains a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit
            with Silicon Valley Bank. Borrowings under the revolving line of
            credit will bear interest at the bank's prime lending rate. As of
            March 31, 1997, no borrowings were outstanding.

                  In November 1996 and December 1996, the Company closed on an
            initial public offering of Common Stock. The Company offered and
            sold 2,823,237 shares of Common Stock at an initial public offering
            price of $7.50. The net proceeds to the Company from the Initial
            Public Offering after payment of offering expenses were
            approximately $18,442,000.

                  The Company has no material commitments other than those under
            normal building and equipment operating leases. The Company
            anticipates increases in its capital expenditures and operating
            lease arrangements beyond March 31, 1997 consistent with its
            anticipated growth. The Company believes that the net proceeds of
            $18,442,000 obtained from the initial public offering and current
            cash balances will be sufficient to fund its working capital and
            capital expenditures requirements, exclusive of cash required for
            possible acquisitions of, or investments in businesses, products and
            technologies for at least the next twelve months.

                           LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

       This Loan Modification Agreement is entered into as of May 5, 1997, by
and between Voxware, Inc. ("Borrower") whose address is 305 College Road East,
Princeton, NJ 08540 and Silicon Valley Bank, a California-chartered bank
("Lender"), with its principal place of business at 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa
Clara, CA 95054 and with a loan production office located at Wellesley Office
Park, 40 William Street, Suite 350, Wellesley, MA 02181, doing business under
the name "Silicon Valley East".

1.     Among other indebtedness which may be owing by Borrower to Lender,
Borrower is indebted to Lender pursuant to, among other documents, a Promissory
Note, dated October 18, 1996 in the original principal amount of Two Million and
00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00), as may be amended (the "Revolving Facility"),
and a Promissory Note dated October 18, 1996 in the original principal amount of
Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (the "Equipment Loan").
The Revolving Facility and the Equipment Loan are sometimes referred to
collectively herein as the "Notes"). The Notes, together with other promissory
notes from Borrower to Lender, are governed by the terms of a Letter Agreement,
dated October 18, 1996, between Borrower and Lender, as such agreement may be
amended from time to time (the "Loan Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not
otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Loan Agreement.

Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender shall be referred to
as the "Indebtedness."

2.     Repayment of the Indebtedness is secured by a Commercial Security
Agreement, dated October 18, 1996 (the "Security Agreement"). Concurrently
herewith, Lender shall agree to release its security interest in Borrower's
assets pursuant to the Security Agreement; provided that Borrower shall execute
a new financing statement and security agreement which Lender shall hold and not
perfect until certain events occur as described herein.

Hereinafter, the above-described security documents, together with all other
documents securing payment of the Indebtedness shall be referred to as the
"Security Documents". Hereinafter, the Security Documents, together with all
other documents evidencing or securing the Indebtedness shall be referred to as
the "Existing Loan Documents."

3.     With the execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall execute a Master
Note evidencing a leasing facility in an amount up to One Million Five Hundred
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) (the "Lease Facility"). The purpose
of the Leasing Facility shall be to acquire the lease stream payments which
Borrower owes to Computer Sales International, Inc. ("CSI").

 4.    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.

       A.   Modification(s) to Revolving Facility
            -------------------------------------

            1.    Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding
                  principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on April 5, 1998.
                  In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of
                  accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning
                  June 5, 1997, and all subsequent interest payments are due on
                  the same day of each month thereafter.

            2.    The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal
                  balance of the Note, effective as of this date, will be at a
                  rate equal to Lender's current Index (as defined therein).

            3.    The following is hereby incorporated into the paragraph
                  entitled "Default":

                  In addition to the foregoing events of default, an event of
                  default (as defined in Section 14 of the Master Lease (as
                  described in the Loan Agreement) under the Equipment Schedule
                  will also be deemed an Event of Default under the terms of
                  this Note and the 


                                      14
<PAGE>
 
                  Related Documents. A default under this Note shall also be
                  deemed an Event of Default under the Equipment Schedule, which
                  will allow Lender to exercise its remedies under Section 15 of
                  the Master Lease Agreement and otherwise under the terms of
                  this Note and the Related Documents.

            B.    Modification(s) to the Equipment Loan.
                  ------------------------------------- 

                  1.  The Equipment Loan is hereby canceled.

            C.    Modification to Loan Agreement.
                  ------------------------------

                  1.  The paragraph beginning with the words "Borrowings under
                              the Loans..." is hereby amended to read in its 
                              entirety, as follows:

                      Borrower shall execute a UCC Financing Statement covering
                      all of Borrower's assets which Lender shall hold and not
                      perfect until the earliest to occur of (i) borrowings
                      under the Revolving Facility exceed $2,000,000.00, (ii)
                      Borrower's breach of a Financial Covenant or (iii) a
                      default under any Related Documents, including, without
                      limitation, a default under the Master Lease Agreement
                      between CSI and Borrower, as assigned to Lender. Should
                      one or more of the foregoing occur, at any time, Borrower
                      authorizes Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, to perfect
                      its security interest in Borrower's assets, without notice
                      to Borrower, by recording the executed UCC Financing
                      Statement with the appropriate governmental agencies.

                  2.  The paragraph beginning with the words "An amount not to
                      exceed $500,000.00 (the "Non-Formula Portion")..." is
                      hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                      Notwithstanding that the Non-Formula Portion shall be
                      amended to $2,000,000.00 following Borrower's initial
                      public offering, the "Non-Formula Portion" shall be
                      available immediately. Accordingly, the Non-Formula
                      Portion is hereby amended to mean $2,000,000.00.

                  3.  The paragraph beginning with the words "Funds shall be
                      advanced..." is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
                      follows:

                      Funds shall be advanced under the Revolving Facility in
                      excess of the Non-Formula Portion according to a borrowing
                      base formula, defined as follows: the lesser of (a)
                      $3,000,000.00 minus the face amount of outstanding Letters
                      of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of
                      Credit) minus the Foreign Exchange Reserve or (b) the
                      Borrowing Base Formula which is the sum of (i) 95% of cash
                      pledged to Lender plus (ii) 60% of the proceeding 3-
                      month's contractual payments from Netscape plus (iii)
                      eighty percent (80%) of eligible domestic accounts
                      receivable minus the (iv) face amount of outstanding
                      Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed
                      Letters of Credit) minus (v) the Foreign Exchange Reserve.
                      Eligible accounts receivable shall include, but not be
                      limited to, those accounts outstanding less than 90 days
                      from the date of invoice, excluding, foreign, government,
                      contra, and intercompany accounts; and exclude accounts
                      wherein 50% or more of the account is outstanding more
                      than 90 days from the date of invoice. Any account which
                      alone exceeds 25% of total accounts will be ineligible to
                      the extent said account exceeds 25% of total accounts.
                      Accounts from Netscape (including amounts referenced in
                      item (ii) hereof) shall be eligible to the extent no
                      single invoice from Netscape is more than 90 days past
                      invoice date. Also exclude any credit balances which are
                      aged past 90 days. Also ineligible are any accounts which
                      Lender in its sole judgment excludes for valid credit
                      reasons.

                      increase in capitalized software and development costs
                      divided by total interest plus current portion long term
                      debt. For purposes of calculation, the Debt Service
                      Coverage shall only become applicable in the event
                      Borrower is utilizing the Lease Facility.

                  5.  Borrower shall provide to Lender a Borrowing Base

                      days after the close of each month, when borrowing in
                      excess of $2,000,000.00. Lender shall conduct an audit of

                      audits shall be conducted on a semi annual basis if
                      borrowings under the Revolving Facility exceed
                      $2,000,000.00 for 60 consecutive days. In the event such
                      borrowings do not occur, the audits will be conducted on
                      an annual basis.

                  6.  The Letter of Credit Sublimit is hereby increased to Two
                      Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00).

                  Springing Lien covering all of Borrower's assets (the
                  "Springing Lien"), which Lender shall hold and not perfect

warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except
as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of
the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
Lender's agreement to modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to
this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Lender to make any
future modifications to the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Loan Modification
Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the
intention of Lender and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and
endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by
Lender in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue
of this Loan Modification Agreement. The terms of this Paragraph apply not only

modification agreements.

reason Lender cannot avail itself of the courts of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, then venue shall lie in Santa Clara County, California.
