and Bank Product Providers (in such capacity, “ Agent
”), and SUMTOTAL SYSTEMS, INC. , a Delaware
corporation (“ Borrower ”). Terms used herein
without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Credit Agreement defined below.
RECITALS
A. The Lenders, Agent and Borrower
have previously entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as
of October 4, 2005 (as amended, modified and supplemented from
time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”),
pursuant to which the Lenders have made certain loans and financial
accommodations available to Borrower.
B. Pursuant to
Section 5.20 of the Credit Agreement, Borrower shall
deliver to Agent certain additional documents, opinions, assurances
and confirmations as are reasonably necessary, or as Agent may
reasonably request, in connection with the pledge on the Closing
Date of the ownership interests in the first-tier Unrestricted
Subsidiaries of Borrower (that are not Immaterial Foreign
Subsidiaries), including with respect to the pledge of 65% of the
voting capital stock its Subsidiary SumTotal Systems Netherlands
BV, a besloten vennootschap organized under the laws of the
Netherlands (“ SumTotal BV ”). In connection
with such pledge of voting capital stock of SumTotal BV, an
amendment to the Credit Agreement is required to evidence the
acknowledgment and agreement of the Lenders to the “parallel
debt” covenant to be set forth in the Dutch Law Security
Agreement (as defined below).
C. Pursuant to
Section 5.22 of the Credit Agreement, Borrower shall
deliver to Agent, on or prior to the date that is 30 days after the
Closing Date, a Source Code Escrow Agreement, duly executed by
Borrower, Agent and an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to
Agent, with respect to the source and object code for each version
or versions of each item of computer software programs or other
technology of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries constituting
the Required Library. Borrower has informed Agent that it is unable
to deliver such Source Code Escrow Agreement prior to
November 3, 2005, and that it may be necessary to conclude

presently intends to transfer and maintain all of its source code
escrows (including the various source code escrows for its
licenses) with one agent.
D. Pursuant to
Section 5.23(b) of the Credit Agreement, Borrower shall
deliver a Collateral Access Agreement for 226 North 5th Street,
Columbus, Ohio 43215 on or prior to the date that is 30 days after
the Closing Date. Borrower and Agent’s counsel have informed
Agent that Borrower cannot comply with this requirement because of
the unwillingness of the owner of such property to enter into a
Collateral Access Agreement in satisfactory form.
E. Pursuant to
Section 5.25 of the Credit Agreement, on or prior to
the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date, Borrower shall
deliver to Agent evidence that all patents, trademarks and
copyrights registered in the names of Communication Strategies,
Inc. (“ CSI ”), Docent, Inc. and

Click2learn, Inc. have been re-registered in the
name of Borrower in the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
or the United States Copyright Office, as the case may be. Borrower
has informed Agent that it cannot comply in all respects with this
requirement prior to November 3, 2005, as to several
trademarks and copyrights currently registered in the name of
Asymetrix Corporation (a predecessor in interest to Click2learn,
Inc.) and United States Copyright TX 2-767-505 (the “ CSI

Closing Date, original share certificates, together with stock
powers in blank, with respect to its Subsidiaries SumTotal Systems
ANZ Pty. Ltd. (“ SumTotal Australia ”) and
Pathlore Software Pty., Ltd. (“ Pathlore Australia
”). Borrower has informed Agent that the share certificates
of Pathlore Australia and SumTotal Australia were lost and cannot
be reissued in favor of the Borrower prior to November 3,
2005.
G. Pursuant to clause (a) of
Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries shall not have cash, Cash Equivalents and
other Permitted Investments (other than in the Cash Management
Accounts) in Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts in an
aggregate amount in excess of $100,000 at any one time unless
Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, and the
applicable securities intermediary or bank have entered into
Control Agreements or similar agreements governing such cash, Cash
Equivalents and other Permitted Investments in order to perfect
(and further establish) the Agent’s Liens therein;
provided that , such clause (a) shall not apply with
regard to any Deposit Accounts maintained with the Huntington
National Bank so long as within 30 days of the Closing Date the
Agent has received confirmation that any funds held in such Deposit
Accounts shall be swept on a daily basis to a Deposit Account
maintained with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. As a result of operational
delays, Borrower has informed Agent that it is unable to obtain the
confirmation from Huntington National Bank required by the
foregoing proviso prior to November 3, 2005 and that Borrower
has an aggregate amount of cash in excess of $100,000 in an account
maintained with Huntington National Bank where Huntington National
Bank has not entered into a Control Agreement or similar agreement
governing such cash.
H. Borrower, Lenders and Agent have
agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to (i) alter the
definition of EBITDA to include an add-back for stock-based
compensation; (ii) evidence the acknowledgment and agreement
of the Lenders to such “parallel debt” covenant,
(iii) allow for an additional 90 days in order for Borrower to
comply with Section 5.22(a) , (iv) allow for an
additional 30 days in order for Borrower to comply with
Section 5.25 with respect to the trademarks and
copyrights of Asymetrix Corporation and the CSI Copyright as
described in Recital E above, (v) allow for an
additional 45 days in order for Borrower to comply with
Section 5.27 with respect to SumTotal Australia and

provided, in order for Borrower to comply with
Section 6.12 .
I. Lenders and Agent have agreed to
waive the requirement that Borrower deliver to Agent a Collateral
Access Agreement with respect to 226 North 5th Street, Columbus,
Ohio 43215, as herein provided.
J. Borrower is entering into this
Amendment with the understanding and agreement that, except as
specifically provided herein, none of the Lender Group’s

other Loan Document is being waived or modified by the terms of
this Amendment.
