This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated as of March 14, 2001, between SILICON
VALLEY BANK ("Bank"), whose address is 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 and PLUMTREE SOFTWARE, INC., a California corporation
("Borrower"), whose address is 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000,
provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay
Bank. The parties agree as follows:

1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS.
--------------------------

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed
following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The
term "financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. The terms
"including" and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without
limitation," in this or any Loan Document.

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
-------------------------

2.1 Credit Extensions.
------------------

Borrower will pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit
Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions,
as set forth herein.

2.1.1 Revolving Advances.

(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding (i) the lesser of (A) the
Committed Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of
Credit), minus (iii) the amount of the Cash Management Services Sublimit
designated by Bank at the time of determination as utilized. Amounts borrowed
under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this
Agreement.

(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or
telephone by 3:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be
made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the
Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B. Bank will credit Advances to
Borrower's deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on
instructions from a Responsible Officer or without instructions if the Advances
are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any
telephone notice given by a person whom Bank reasonably believes is a
Responsible Officer. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any direct loss Bank
suffers due to such reliance.

2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit.

Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower's account
not exceeding (i) the lesser of the Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing
Base minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus the
amount of the Cash Management Sublimit designated by Bank at the time of
determination as utilized; provided, however, that the face

amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed
Letters of Credit) may not exceed $5,000,000. Each Letter of Credit will have an
expiry date of no later than 30 days after the Revolving Maturity Date, but
Borrower's reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash on terms acceptable
to Bank at any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this
Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrower agrees to execute any further
documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably
request.

2.1.3 Intentionally Omitted.

2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit.

(a) Borrower may use up to $5,000,000 for Bank's Cash Management
Services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll,
business credit card, and check cashing services identified in various cash
management services agreements related to such services (the "Cash Management
Services"). The amount of such aggregate credit limit designated by Bank at the
time of determination as utilized shall reduce by a factor of 1.25 the amount
otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line.

2.2 Overadvances.
-------------

If Borrower's Obligations under Section 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 exceed the lesser
of either (i) the Committed Revolving Line minus the Cash Management Services
Sublimit or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower must immediately pay Bank the
excess, upon demand.

2.3 Interest Rate, Payments.
------------------------

(a) Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal
balance at a per annum rate of 1.0 percentage point above the Prime Rate;
provided that during any period that Borrower maintains a balance of at least
$2,500,000 (calculated net of the DDA Peg Balance) in a Sweep Account, such
interest rate shall be reduced to 0.75 percentage point above the Prime Rate;
provided, further, that in the event Borrower's Quick Ratio (Adjusted) is less
than 2.00: 1.00 under Section 6.7(i) hereof as of a Date of Determination (as
defined in such section), the rate of interest otherwise applicable to the
Advances shall be increased by one-half (1/2) percentage point (50 basis points)
until the next Date of Determination when such ratio is greater than or equal to
2.00 to 1.00. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at 5.0
percentage points above the rate effective immediately before the Event of
Default. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes.
Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Payments. Interest due on the Committed Revolving Line is payable on
the first day of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrower's deposit accounts
including Account Number ____________________________ for principal and interest
payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will promptly notify
Borrower when it debits Borrower's accounts. These debits are not a set-off.
Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the
opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day
that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and
additional fees or interest accrue.

2.4 Fees.
-----

Borrower will pay:

(a) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and reasonable expenses) incurred through and after the date of this
Agreement, are payable when due.

(b) Loan Fee. A loan fee equal to 1% of the Committed Revolving Line,
payable on the Closing Date; provided that Borrower may elect to pay a reduced
fee equal to 0.5% on the Closing Date and maintain a minimum balance of at least
$1,000,000 in a demand deposit account maintained at Bank (the "DDA Peg
Balance"); provided further that in the event the reduced fee is paid and at any
time thereafter during the term of this Agreement, Borrower fails to maintain
such minimum balance, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the additional
0.5% fee.

(c) Letter of Credit Fees. A fee equal to 1.5% of the face amount of
each Letter of Credit, together with an origination and courier fee of $270 at

Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Due Organization and Authorization.
-----------------------------------

Borrower and any Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its
state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good
standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of
property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could
not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been
duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's formation documents, nor
constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is
bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it
is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Change.

5.2 Collateral.
-----------

Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted
Liens. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or
property has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or its agent for
immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor.

account debtor whose accounts are an Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base
Certificate. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable
quality, free from material defects. Borrower is the sole owner of the
Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its
customers in the ordinary course of business. Each Patent is valid and
enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or
unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of
the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party, except to the
extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Change.

5.3 Litigation.
-----------

Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's Responsible Officers and legal
counsel, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which a likely
adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Change.

5.4 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.
---------------------------------------------------

All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary,
delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower's
consolidated financial condition and Borrower's consolidated results of
operations. There has not been any material deterioration in

Borrower's consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent
financial statements submitted to Bank. There has been no material adverse
deviation from the business plan of Borrower which was presented to Bank prior
to the date of this Agreement.

5.5 Solvency.
---------

The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including goodwill minus
disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the Borrower is
not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this
Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they
mature.

as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under
Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has
complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of
Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or assets has been used by Borrower or
any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous Persons, in
disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance

authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices
to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as

expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.7 Subsidiaries.
-------------

Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity
securities except for Permitted Investments.

5.8 Full Disclosure.
----------------

No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any

written certificates and written statements to Bank) contains any untrue

Adverse Change, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so.

8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
-----------------

Any one of the following is an Event of Default:

8.1 Payment Default.
----------------

If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations within 5 Business Days

covenant that can be cured, has not cured the default within 10 days after it
occurs, or if the default cannot be cured within 10 days or cannot be cured
after Borrower's attempts within such10 day period, and the default may be cured

Borrower's assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against

9. BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
--------------------------

9.1 Rights and Remedies.
-------------------
During the time an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without
notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event
of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due
and payable without any action by Bank);

(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit under
this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for
amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable in its
reasonable discretion;

(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable
to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the
Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may
enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of
any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien
which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all
expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its
premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies;

(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it
holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account
of Borrower;

(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for
sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-
exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge,
Borrower's labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name,
trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter,
or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing
production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower's
rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank's benefit;
and

(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

9.2 Power of Attorney.
------------------

Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower
irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower's
name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower's
name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against account
debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance
policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly
with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and
(v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code
permits. If Borrower refuses after Bank's request, Bank may exercise the power
of attorney to sign Borrower's name on any documents necessary to perfect or
continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event
of Default has occurred. Bank's appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and
all of Bank's rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until
all Events of Default have been cured, or Obligations have been fully repaid and
performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Accounts Collection.
-------------------

During the time an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify
any Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds and
verify the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust
for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in
the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

9.4 Bank Expenses.
-------------

If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of
payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain
insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the
policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and
immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and
secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make
similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.

9.5 Bank's Liability for Collateral.
-------------------------------

If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9-207 of the
Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss
or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral;
or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person.

9.6 Remedies Cumulative.
-------------------

Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and
all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided
under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's exercise of one right or remedy is
not an election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing
waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is
effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific
instance and purpose for which it was given.

9.7 Demand Waiver.
-------------

Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment
and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release,
compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents,
instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is
liable.

10. NOTICES
-------

All notices or demands by any party about this Agreement or any other
related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an
overnight delivery service, by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or by telefacsimile to the addresses set forth at the beginning of
this Agreement. A party may change its notice address by giving the other party
written notice.

conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the State and Federal courts in Santa Xxxxx County, California.
