</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">Recognizing that the success of EXE Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the &#147;Company&#148;), depends, in part, on the protection of trade secrets,
innovations, formulae, algorithms and information held or utilized by the
Company, and recognizing that during my engagement by the Company
(&#147;engagement&#148;)
I may have access or contribute to such matters, and in consideration of my
engagement and intending to be legally bound by this Agreement, I agree to the
following:
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During and after my engagement, without the prior written consent of
an officer of the Company, I will not disclose or use for my direct or indirect
benefit or the direct or indirect benefit of a third party, and I will use my
best efforts to maintain, the confidentiality of all confidential information
that I acquire because of my engagement. In general, &#147;confidential information&#148;
means any information that the Company treats as confidential, including, but
not limited to, any information relating to strategic plans, finances,
research,
processes, inventions, products, methods, formulae, algorithms, computer codes
or instructions, software, documentation, equipment, costs, customer lists,
business studies and business procedures, and any other materials that have not
been made available to the general public. Failure to mark any of the
confidential information as confidential or proprietary will not affect its
status as confidential information under the terms of this Agreement.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During and after my engagement, I will not remove from the Company&#146;s
offices or premises any documents, records, notebooks, files, correspondence,
reports, memoranda, computer tapes, computer disks or similar materials of or
containing information of the type identified in the preceding paragraph, or
other materials or property of the Company of any kind (collectively,
&#147;Materials&#148;), unless necessary in accordance with my duties and
responsibilities
of engagement by the Company. In the event that I remove any Materials, I will
return such Materials to their proper files or places of safekeeping as
promptly
as possible after the removal has served its specific purpose. Except as may be
necessary in the discharge of my assigned duties, I will not make, retain,
remove or distribute any copies of any of such Materials for any reason
whatsoever and I will not divulge to any third person the nature or contents of
any of such Materials or of any other oral or written information. Upon the
termination of my engagement with the Company, I will return to the Company all
originals and copies of such Materials and all other tangible or intangible
company property then in my possession, whether prepared by me or by others.

flow charts, and/or techniques (whether reduced to written form or otherwise)
that at the request or suggestion of the Company I make, conceive, discover, or

and I will have no claim for additional compensation for the Intellectual Work
Product.

copyrightable will be considered a work made for hire under United States
Copyright Law. To the extent that any copyrightable Intellectual Work Product
may not be considered a work made for hire under the applicable provisions of
the copyright law, or to the extent that, notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, I may retain an interest in any Intellectual Work Product that is
not copyrightable, I hereby irrevocably assign and transfer to the Company any
and all right, title, or interest that I may have in the Intellectual Work
Product under copyright, patent, trade secret and trademark law, in perpetuity
or for the longest period otherwise permitted by law, without the necessity of
further consideration. The Company will be entitled to obtain and hold in its
own name all copyrights, patents, trade secrets and trademarks with respect
thereto.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the sole request and expense of the Company either before or
after the termination of my engagement I will assist the Company in acquiring
and maintaining copyright, patent, trade secret and trademark
protection upon,

include signing all applications for copyrights and patents and other
documents,
cooperating in legal proceedings and taking any other steps considered
desirable
by the Company.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I am not subject to any other agreement that I will violate by
signing this Agreement or which prevents me from disclosing confidential
information. I agree to disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement to
any employer for which I may work during the term of this Agreement or after
the termination of my engagement.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I agree that the
period of time during which Sections&nbsp;5, 6 and 7 of
my Employment Agreement survive after the termination of my Employment
Agreement
shall automatically be deemed extended by the period of time that the
Independent Contractor Agreement to which this Agreement is an exhibit (the
&#147;Independent Contractor Agreement&#148;) is in force, and the time periods specified
in Section&nbsp;7(a)(iii) and 7(a)(v) of my Employment Agreement shall automatically
be deemed amended to apply to both the 12&nbsp;month period immediately preceding my
termination of employment under the Employment Agreement and the period of time
during which I serve as an Independent Contractor under the Independent
Contractor Agreement.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">This Agreement, together with the Independent Contractor
Agreement to which this Agreement is an exhibit, the letter agreement related
to
the termination of my Employment Agreement, and the agreements referenced
therein, constitutes the complete agreement between the Company and me and
supersedes all prior agreements, oral or written, and any other communication
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing and will be
governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflicts of law
principles of any jurisdiction. If any provision or portion of any provision of
this Agreement shall be determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable for any
reason, then the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions or
portions of provisions will not be affected. The Company may assign this
Agreement to, and this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of, any
parent, subsidiary, affiliate or successor of the Company. I acknowledge that
this Agreement is not assignable by me. Except as otherwise provided by the
immediately subsequent sentence of this provision, I agree that any suit,

or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating

to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any action commenced by the
Company for preliminary or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief, will
be instituted in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
Texas, Dallas Division, or if such court does not have or will not accept
jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Dallas County, Texas, and
I consent and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts
in any such suit, action or proceeding. This provision shall not prevent the
Company from seeking to enforce this Agreement in any other court of competent
jurisdiction. I agree that service of process upon me may be effected by
certified mail or by any other means permitted by law, and I waive any
objection
which I may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding
in any such court and any claim or defense of inconvenient forum. If an action
at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this
Agreement, then the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition
to any other relief, reasonable attorneys&#146; fees, costs and disbursements.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I acknowledge that it is impossible to measure fully in monetary damages the
injury that will be caused to the Company in the event of a breach or
threatened
breach of this Agreement, and I waive the claim or defense that the Company has
an adequate remedy at law. I will not, in any action or proceeding to enforce
the provisions of this Agreement, assert the claim or defense that such a
remedy
at law exists. The Company will be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement, without prejudice to any other remedies the
Company may have at law or in equity.
