and the undersigned stockholder and/or option holder (the "Stockholder") of
Peregrine Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent").
RECITALS
A. Company, Merger Sub (as defined below) and Parent have entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement"), which
provides for the merger (the "Merger") of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent
("Merger Sub") with and into the Company. Pursuant to the Merger, all
outstanding capital stock of the Company shall be converted into the right to
receive common stock of Parent, as set forth in the Reorganization Agreement;
and
B. Stockholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of such
number of shares of the outstanding capital stock of Parent and shares subject
to outstanding options and warrants as is indicated on the signature page of
this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree
as follows:
1. Certain Definitions. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Reorganization Agreement. For purposes of
this Agreement:
(a) "Expiration Date" shall mean the earlier to occur of (i)
such date and time as the Reorganization Agreement shall have been terminated
pursuant to Article VII thereof, or (ii) such date and time as the Merger shall
become effective in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Reorganization Agreement.
(b) "Person" shall mean any (i) individual, (ii) corporation,
limited liability company, partnership or other entity, or (iii) governmental
authority.
(c) "Shares" shall mean: (i) all securities of the Parent
(including all shares of Parent Common Stock and all options, warrants and other
rights to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock) beneficially owned by
Stockholder as of the date of this Agreement; and (ii) all additional securities
of Parent (including all additional shares of Parent Common Stock and all
additional options, warrants and other rights to acquire shares of Parent Common
Stock) of which Stockholder acquires beneficial ownership during the period from
the date of this Agreement through the Expiration Date.
(d) Transfer. A Person shall be deemed to have effected a
"Transfer" of a security if such person directly or indirectly: (i) sells,
pledges, encumbers, grants an option with
2
respect to, transfers or disposes of such security or any interest in such
security; or (ii) enters into an agreement or commitment providing for the sale
of, pledge of, encumbrance of, grant of an option with respect to, transfer of
or disposition of such security or any interest therein.
2. Transfer of Shares.
(a) Transferee of Shares to be Bound by this Agreement.
Stockholder agrees that, during the period from the date of this Agreement
through the Expiration Date, except as may be required by court order or
operation of law, Stockholder shall not cause or permit any Transfer of any of
the Shares to be effected unless each Person to which any of such Shares or any
interest in any of such Shares is or may be transferred shall have (i) executed
a counterpart of this Voting Agreement and a proxy in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A and (ii) agreed to hold such Shares or interest in such Shares
subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Transfer of Voting Rights. Stockholder agrees that, during
the period from the date of this Agreement through the Expiration Date,
Stockholder shall not deposit (or permit the deposit of) any Shares in a voting
trust or grant any proxy or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement
in contravention of the obligations of Stockholder under this Agreement with
respect to any of the Shares.
3. Agreement to Vote Shares. At every meeting of the stockholders of
Parent called, and at every adjournment thereof, and on every action or approval
by written consent of the stockholders of Parent, Stockholder (in his or her
capacity as such) shall cause the Shares to be voted (to the extent such Shares
have voting rights and are entitled to vote thereon) (i) in favor of the Share
Issuance, (ii) in favor of any matter that could reasonably be expected to
facilitate the Share Issuance, and (iii) against any matter that could
reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement
shall limit or restrict Stockholder from acting in Stockholder's capacity as a
director or officer of Parent (it being understood that this Agreement shall
apply to Stockholder solely in Stockholder's capacity as a stockholder of
Parent) or voting in Stockholder's sole discretion on any matter other than
those matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) of this
Section 3.
4. Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement, Stockholder agrees to deliver to Company a proxy in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the "Proxy"), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest
extent permissible by law, with respect to the Shares.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder. Stockholder (i)
is the beneficial owner of the shares of Parent Common Stock and the options and
warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of Parent indicated on the final
page of this Agreement, free and clear of any liens, claims, options, rights of
first refusal, co-sale rights, charges or other encumbrances that, in each case,
would deprive Company of the benefits of this Agreement; (ii) does not
beneficially own any securities of Parent other than the shares of Parent Common
Stock and options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of Parent
indicated on the final page of this Agreement; and (iii) has full power and

Proxy.

6. Legending of Shares. If so requested by Company, Stockholder agrees
that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this
Agreement and to an irrevocable proxy. Subject to the terms of Section 2 hereof,

having the aforementioned legend affixed to the certificates representing the
Shares.
7. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and shall have no
further force or effect as of the Expiration Date.
8. Miscellaneous.
(a) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or
restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
(b) Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement and all of
the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any
of the rights, interests or obligations of the parties hereto may be assigned by
either of the parties without prior written consent of the other.

hereto acknowledge that Parent shall be irreparably harmed and that there shall
be no adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of the covenants or
agreements of Stockholder set forth herein. Therefore, it is agreed that, in

violation, Company shall have the right to enforce such covenants and agreements
