     This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated October 18, 2002, between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California chartered bank (“Bank”), with its principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 and EXE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (“Borrower”), with its principal place of business at the location set forth on the Cover Page of this Agreement, 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 Promise to Pay. Borrower will pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

2.1.1 Revolving Advances.

     (a)  Bank will make Advances not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus the Other Services Sublimit. In no event will the Advances under the A/R Line exceed $5,000,000. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the tern 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 (a “Payment/Advance Form”). Bank will credit Advances to Borrower’s deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee 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 believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.

     (c)  The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.

     (d)  Bank’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations will terminate if there occurs an Event of Default, including, without limitation, that there has been a Material Adverse Change.

2.1.2 Letters of Credit. Bank will issue or has issued letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for Borrower’s account not exceeding (i) the A/R Line minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances under the A/R Line; provided, however that the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), together with the amount of all credit exposure for Cash Management Services and the FX Reserve may not exceed the Other Services Sublimit. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than 180 days after the Revolving Maturity Date but Borrower’s reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash (or a letter of credit from an issuer and in form and substance which are acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion) 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 Foreign Exchange Sublimit. If there is availability under the Other Services Sublimit, then Borrower may enter in foreign exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one business day after the contract date (the “FX Forward Contract”). Bank will subtract 10% of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from the

1

available Other Services Sublimit (the “FX Reserve”). The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed 10 times the amount of the FX Reserve. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing.

2.1.4 Cash Management Sublimit. Borrower may use 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”), but the credit exposure with respect to such Cash Management Services may not exceed the Other Services Sublimit minus the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), and minus the FX Reserve. Such aggregate amounts utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit will at all times reduce the amount otherwise available to be utilized under the Other Services Sublimit. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Other Services Sublimit of the A/R tine and will accrue interest at the rate for Advances.

2.2 Overadvances. If Borrower’s Obligations under Section 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 exceed the Committed Revolving Line, Borrower must pay in cash to Bank the excess on or before five (5) days after the occurrence of such excess.

2.3 Interest Rate; Payments.

2.3.1 In General.

     (a)  Spreading of Interest. Due to irregular periodic balances of principal, the variable nature of the interest rate, or prepayment, the total interest that will accrue under this Agreement cannot be determined in advance. Bank does not intend to contract for, charge or receive more than the Maximum Lawful Rate or Maximum Lawful Amount permitted by applicable state or federal law, and to prevent such an occurrence Bank and Borrower agree that all amounts of interest, whenever contracted for, charged or received by Bank, with respect to the Obligations, will be spread, prorated or allocated over the full period of time the Obligations are outstanding, including the period of any renewal or extension thereof. It the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated for any reason whether as a result of an Event of Default or otherwise prior to the full stated term, the total amount of interest contracted for, charged or received to the time of such demand shall be spread, prorated or allocated along with any interest thereafter accruing over the full parted of time that the Obligations thereafter remain unpaid for the purpose of determining if such interest exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount.

     (b)  Excess Interest. At maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or on earlier final payment of the Obligations, Bank will compute the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged or received by Bank or payable by Borrower hereunder and compare such amount to the Maximum Lawful Amount that could have been contracted for, charged or received by Bank. If such computation reflects that the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged or received by Bank or payable by Borrower exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount, then Bank shall apply such excess to the reduction of the principal balance, and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrower. This provision concerning the crediting or refund of excess interest shall control and take precedence over all other agreements between Borrower and Bank so that under no circumstances shall the total interest contracted for, charged or received by Bank exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount.

     (c)  Request to Debit Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts with Bank including Account Number      for principal and interest payments or any amounts which are currency due from Borrower to Bank. Bank will 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.

2.3.2 Committed Revolving Line.

2

     (a)  Interest Rate. Advances under the Committed Revolving Line accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof at a floating per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate. The interest rate on the Committed Revolving Line increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Bank will not compute the interest in a manner that would cause Bank to contract for, charge or receive interest that would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate or the Maximum Lawful Amount. After an Event of Default, unless waived by Bank. Obligations accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate. The Default Interest Rate is the least of (i) the Maximum Lawful Rate, if the Maximum Lawful Rate is established by applicable Law, or (ii) the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default plus 3 percentage points: or (iii) such lesser rate of interest as Bank in its sole discretion may choose to charge; but in no event more than the Maximum Lawful Rate.

     (b)  Payments. Interest on the Committed Revolving Line is payable on the first day of each month. 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; Expenses. Borrower will pay to Bank:

     (a)  Facility Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee on the Committed Revolving Line in the amount of $25,000 due on the Closing Date; and

     (b)  Letter of Credit Fee. A Letter of Credit Fee in the amount of 1.50% per year of the face amount of each Letter of Credit, which is due on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each anniversary date thereof during the existence of such Letter of Credit;

     (c)  Unused Fee. A Usage Fee, payable quarterly in arrears, on or before the 10th day of the next calendar quarter, equal to (i) if the average of Borrower’s cash and cash equivalent (i.e. readily marketable securities) balance in accounts at Bank during the applicable quarter is equal to or greater than $15,000,000 (determined in accordance with GAAP), 0.25% per annum times the amount by which $12,000,000 exceeds the average principal balance of the Committed Revolving Line during the applicable quarter, or (ii) if the average of Borrower’s cash and cash equivalent (i.e. readily marketable securities) balance in accounts at Bank during the applicable quarter is less than $15,000,000 (determined in accordance with GAAP), 0.375% per annum times the amount by which $12,000,000 exceeds the average principal balance of the Committed Revolving Line during the applicable quarter; and

     (d)  Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including (1) reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses not exceeding $5,000 for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement and (2) audit expenses not to exceed $3,000 per audit) incurred through and after the Closing Date when due.

2.5 Additional Costs. If any new law or regulation increases Bank’s costs or reduces its income for any loan, Borrower will pay the increase in cost or reduction in income or additional expense; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for any amount attributable to any period before 180 days prior to the date Bank notifies Borrower of such increased costs. Bank agrees that it will allocate any increased costs among its customers similarly affected in good faith and in a manner consistent with Bank’s customary practice.

3 CONDITIONS OF LOANS.

3.1 Conditions Precedent to initial Credit Extension. Bank’s obligation to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that it receive the agreements, documents and fees it requires.

3.2 Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions. Bank’s obligations to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is subject to the following:

     (a)  with respect to an Advance requested by Borrower, timely receipt of any Payment/Advance Form;

3

Each Credit Extension requested by Borrower with a Payment/Advance Form is Borrower’s representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties in Section 5 remain true; and

     (c)  With respect to Credit Extensions under the A/R Line, Bank is in possession of a Borrowing Base Certification in the form of Exhibit C and an aged listing of accounts receivable which are provided to Bank not more than 30 days prior to the date of the requested Advance.

4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

4.1 Grant of Security Interest.

Except for Permitted Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. During the existence of an Event of Default, Bank may place a “hold” on any deposit account pledged as Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the security interest granted herein does not extend to and the term “Collateral” does not include any license or contract rights to the extent (i) the granting of a security interest in it would be contrary to applicable law, or (ii) that such rights are nonassignable by their terms (but only to the extent the prohibition is enforceable under applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 9.406(d) of the Code) without the consent of the licensor or other party (but only to the extent such consent has not been obtained). If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully pays its Obligations. Bank (and its successors and assigns) acknowledge and agree that Borrower will sell its Accounts from time to time pursuant to the A/R Purchase Facility (“Transferred Assets”) and, following the assignment by Silicon Valley Bank of this Agreement or the A/R Purchase Facility, the Bank or the assignee thereof (as applicable) agrees to authorize the release of record (by the filing of partial releases) of such Transferred Assets as reasonably necessary to effectuate such sale of the Transferred Assets. In the event Borrower repurchases or otherwise becomes the owner of Transferred Assets (“Repurchased Assets”) which have been released, Borrower will (i) notify Bank describing with particularity the Transferred Assets, and (ii) file a UCC financing statement in favor of Bank with respect to such Repurchased Assets.

9 BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. When 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;

9

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

     (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 requests 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. 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 Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Accounts Collection. When 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 or responsible 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. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

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.

10

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 acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, 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 guaranties held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
