THE CREDIT
2.01. Credit Facility.
(a) Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof
and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth as and when
made or deemed to be made, Lender agrees to make a Loan in the principal amount
of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000).
(b) Loan Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of the Loan from the date of the Loan until the Loan is paid in
full, at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Loan Rate determined in
accordance with the definition of Loan Rate. The Loan Rate applicable to the
Loan shall not be subject to change in the absence of manifest error. All
computations of interest on the Loan shall be based on a year of twelve 30 day
months. If Borrower pays interest on any Loan which is determined to be in
excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of each interest
payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be
deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of the Loan.
(c) Payments of Principal and Interest. Borrower shall make
payments of accrued interest only on the outstanding principal amount of the
Loan on each Payment Date, commencing June 30, 1999 through and including April
30, 2000. On May 31, 2000, Borrower shall make a final payment equal to the
entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan, plus accrued and unpaid
interest.
2.02. Use of Proceeds; the Loan and the Note; Disbursement.
(a) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used
solely for working capital or general corporate purposes of Borrower.
(b) The Loan and the Note. The obligation of Borrower to repay
the unpaid principal amount of and interest on the Loan shall be evidenced by
the Note. Lender may, and is hereby authorized by Borrower to, endorse on a grid
annexed to the Note appropriate notations regarding the Loan; provided, however,
that the failure to make, or an error in making, any such notation shall not
limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the
Note.
(c) Disbursement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall disburse such Loan by wire transfer to
Borrower unless otherwise directed in writing by Borrower.
(d) Termination of Commitment to Lend. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the Operative Documents, Lender's obligation to lend the
undisbursed portion of the Credit Amount to Borrower hereunder shall terminate
on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, and (ii)
the Commitment Termination Date.
(e) Optional Prepayment with Premium. Upon three (3) Business
Days' prior written notice to Lender, Borrower may, at its option, at any time,
prepay the Loan in its entirety, at a prepayment price equal to the principal
amount of the Loan so to be prepaid, plus interest accrued thereon through and
-7-
<PAGE> 8
including the date of such prepayment, plus a premium equal to the Applicable
Premium. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and Lender exercises
its right under Section 9.02 to accelerate the Loan, Borrower expressly agrees
that the amount then due and payable shall include the Applicable Premium as of
the date of such acceleration.
2.03. Other Payment Terms.
(a) Place and Manner. Borrower shall make all payments due to
Lender in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds, at
the address for payments and in the manner specified in Section 10.05(b).
(b) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a
day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of
interest or fees, as the case may be.
(c) Default Rate. If either (i) any amounts required to be paid
by Borrower under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents (including
principal or interest payable on the Loan, any fees or other amounts) remain
unpaid after such amounts are due, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal balance
hereunder from the date due or from the date of the Event of Default, as
applicable, until such past due amounts are paid in full or until all Events of
Defaults are cured, as applicable, at a per annum rate equal to the Default
Rate, such rate to change from time to time as the Prime Rate shall change. All
computations of such interest at the Default Rate shall be based on a year of
twelve 30 day months.
2.04. Commitment Fee. Lender has received a commitment fee from Borrower
in the amount of $25,000 (the "Commitment Fee"). Any portion of the Commitment
Fee not utilized to pay Lender's expenses in connection with the negotiation,
documentation and funding of the Loan will be applied by Lender to amounts due
under the Note in the order in which such amounts are due. If the Loan is not
made, any remaining balance of the Commitment Fee shall be retained by Lender.

Person on its debts as they become absolute and matured, (c) such Person does
not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities
beyond such Person's ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature and (d)
such Person is not engaged in business or a transaction, and is not about in

fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The Lender recognizes that all

periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected or forecasted
results.

contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant relating to the right of any
such officer, employee or consultant to be employed by Borrower because of the
nature of the business conducted or to be conducted by Borrower or relating to
the use of trade secrets or proprietary information of others, and to the best
of Borrower's knowledge, after due inquiry, the continued employment of
Borrower's officers, employees and consultants do not subject Borrower to any
liability for any claim or claims arising out of or in connection with any such
contract, agreement, or covenant. (ii) To the knowledge of Borrower, no officers

expended in a particular manner), whether or not earned by performance, and any
and all credit insurance, guaranties, and other security therefor, as well as
all merchandise returned to or reclaimed by Borrower and Borrower's books
relating to any of the foregoing;

5.03. Possession of Collateral. Except as set forth in Section 5.04, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall
remain in full possession, enjoyment and control of the Collateral (except only
as may be otherwise required by Lender for perfection of its security interest
therein) and to manage, operate and use the same and each part thereof with the
rights and franchises appertaining thereto; provided, however, that the
possession, enjoyment, control and use of the Collateral shall at all times be
subject to the observance and performance of the terms of this Agreement.

hereunder shall be subordinate to the Liens of Silicon Valley Bank and Comdisco,
Inc. with respect to the Indebtedness specified in the Disclosure Schedule;
provided, that the Obligations hereunder shall not be subordinate in right of
payment to any obligations to such parties and Lender's rights and remedies
hereunder shall not in any way be subordinate to the rights and remedies of any
such parties. Lender agrees to execute and deliver such agreements and documents
as may be reasonably requested by Borrower from time to time which set forth the
lien subordination described in this Section 5.05 and are reasonably acceptable
to Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to execute any agreement or document
which would impose obligations, restrictions or lien priority on Lender which

VI
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
6.01. Affirmative Covenants.
(a) Payment of Taxes, etc. Borrower shall pay and discharge all
taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon
its income or profits, or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date
on which penalties attach thereto, and all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might
become a Lien upon any of its properties; provided that there shall be no
requirement to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim (i) which is
being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or which presents
no risk of seizure, forfeiture, levy or other event which could jeopardize any
Collateral or (ii) for which payment in full is bonded or reserved in Borrower's
financial statements.
(b) Inspection Rights. Borrower shall, at any reasonable time and
from time to time, permit Lender or any of its agents or representatives to
inspect the Collateral, to examine and make copies of and abstracts from the

discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Borrower with any of its officers
or directors relating in each case to Lender's capacity as lender and secured
party hereunder and with respect to the Collateral.
(c) Maintenance of Equipment and Similar Assets. Borrower shall
keep and maintain all items of equipment and other similar types of personal
property that form any significant portion or portions of the Collateral in good

material item of Collateral to become a fixture to real estate or an accession
to other personal property, without the prior written consent of Lender.
Borrower shall not permit any such material item of Collateral to be operated or
maintained in violation of

any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation. With respect to items of leased

satisfactory to Lender, and (z) such other insurance against such other risks of
loss and with such terms, as shall in each case be reasonably satisfactory to or
reasonably required by Lender (as to carriers, amounts and otherwise). The
amount of the "all risk" insurance shall be determined to Lender's reasonable
satisfaction. (ii) The deductible with respect to "all-risk" insurance required
by clause (x) above and product liability insurance required by clause (y) above

any insurance required to be maintained hereunder. The amount of commercial
general liability insurance (other than products liability coverage and
completed operations insurance) required by clause (y) above shall be at least
$5,000,000 per occurrence. The amount of the products liability and completed
operations insurance required by clause (y) above shall be at least $5,000,000
per occurrence. Each "all risk" policy shall: (x) name Lender as loss payee, (y)
provide for each insurer's waiver of its right of subrogation against Lender,
and (z) provide that such insurance (A) shall not be invalidated by any action
of, or breach of warranty by, Borrower of a provision of any of its insurance
policies, and (B) shall waive set-off, counterclaim or offset against Lender.
Each liability policy shall (w) name Lender as an additional insured in the full
amount of Borrower's liability coverage limits (or the coverage limits of any
successor to Borrower or such successor's parent which is providing coverage)
and (x) provide that such insurance shall have cross-liability and severability
of interest endorsements (which shall not increase the aggregate policy limits
of Borrower's insurance). All insurance policies shall (y) provide that
Borrower's insurance shall be primary without a right of contribution of
Lender's insurance, if any, or any obligation on the part of Lender to pay
premiums of Borrower, and (z) shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to
give Lender at least 30 days' prior written notice of its cancellation (other
than cancellation for non-payment for which 10 days' notice shall be
sufficient). Borrower shall on or prior to the first Funding Date and prior to
each policy renewal, furnish to Lender certificates of insurance or other
evidence satisfactory to Lender that such insurance coverage is in effect.

options, duties and remedies of a secured party as permitted by law and, in
addition to and without limiting the foregoing, Lender may exercise any one or
more or all, and in any order, of the remedies herein set forth, including the
following:
(a) Lender, personally or by agents or attorneys, shall have the
right (subject to compliance with any applicable mandatory legal requirements)
to require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender
at a place to be designated by Lender or to take immediate possession of the
Collateral, or any portion thereof, and for that purpose may pursue the same
wherever it may be found, and may enter any of premises of Borrower, with or
without notice, demand, process of law or legal procedure, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep
and store the same, or use and operate or lease the same until sold. In
furtherance of Lender's rights hereunder, Borrower hereby grants to Lender an
irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without royalty or other payment
by Lender) to use, license or sublicense any patent, trademark, trade name,
copyright or other intellectual property in which Borrower now or hereafter has
any right, title or interest together with the right of access to all media in
which any of the foregoing may be recorded or stored; provided, however, that
such license shall only be exercisable in connection with the disposition of
Collateral upon Lender's exercise of its remedies hereunder.
(b) Lender may, if at the time such action may be lawful and
always subject to compliance with any mandatory legal requirements, either with
or without taking possession and either before or after taking possession,
without instituting any legal proceedings whatsoever, having first given notice
of such sale by registered or certified mail to Borrower once at least ten (10)
days prior to the date of such sale, and having first given any other notice
which may be required by law, sell and dispose of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, at a private sale or at public auction, to the highest bidder, in one
lot as an entirety or in separate lots, and either for cash or on credit and on
such terms as Lender may determine, and at any place (whether or not it be the
location of the Collateral or any part thereof) designated in the notice
referred to above. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any such sale or
sales may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place
appointed for such sale or sales, or for any such adjourned sale or sales,
without further published notice, and Borrower, Lender or the holder or holders
of the Note, or of any interest therein, may bid and become the purchaser at any
such sale.
(c) Lender may proceed to protect and enforce this Agreement and
the other Operative Documents by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law
or in bankruptcy, and whether for the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement herein contained or in execution or aid of any power herein granted;
or for foreclosure hereunder, or for the appointment of a receiver or receivers
for any real property security or any part thereof, or for the recovery of
judgment for the Obligations or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal
or equitable remedy available under applicable law.
9.04. Waiver by Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to
the extent permitted by law, Borrower covenants that it will not at any time
insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force,
nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from any law now
or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the
Collateral or any part thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made
pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the decree, judgment or order
of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after such sale or sales, claim or
exercise any right under any statute now or
-18-
<PAGE> 19
hereafter made or enacted by any state or otherwise to redeem the property so
sold or any part thereof, and, to the full extent legally permitted, except as
to rights expressly provided herein, hereby expressly waives for itself and on
behalf of each and every Person, except decree or judgment creditors of
Borrower, acquiring any interest in or title to the Collateral or any part
thereof subsequent to the date of this Agreement, all benefit and advantage of
any such law or laws, and covenants that it will not invoke or utilize any such
law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted and delegated to Lender, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such power, law or laws had been made or
enacted.
9.05. Effect of Sale. Any sale, whether under any power of sale
available to Lender or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to
divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or
in equity, of Borrower in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual
bar, both at law and in equity, against Borrower, its successors and assigns,
and against any and all persons claiming the property sold or any part thereof
under, by or through Borrower, its successors or assigns.
9.06. Application of Collateral Proceeds. The proceeds and/or avails of
the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any
remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Lender at the
time of, or received by Lender after, the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder) shall be paid to and applied as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses,
including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of
foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other
rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances,
including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred or made
hereunder by Lender;
(b) Second, to the payment to Lender of the amount then owing or
unpaid on the Note, and in case such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in
full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Note, then first, to the
unpaid interest thereon, second, to unpaid principal thereof and third to the
remaining balance of the Obligations under the Note; such application to be made
upon presentation of the Note, and the notation thereon of the payment, if
partially paid, or the surrender and cancellation thereof, if fully paid;
(c) Third, to the payment of other amounts then payable to Lender
under any of the Operative Documents; and
(d) Fourth, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrower,
its successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive
the same.
9.07. Reinstatement of Rights. If Lender shall have proceeded to enforce
any right under this Agreement or any other Operative Document by foreclosure,
sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then and in
every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction),
Lender shall be restored to its former position and rights hereunder with
respect to the property subject to the security interest created under this
Agreement.

Operative Document may be modified, amended or waived only by a written
instrument signed by the parties thereto.
10.02. No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required. No
delay or failure of Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall affect or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a
right, power or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other
right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder of Lender are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise
have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the
part of Lender of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver

with a design or other defect (latent or patent) in any item of equipment

Agreement. Upon Lender's written demand, Borrower shall assume and diligently
conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the entire defense of Lender, each of its
partners, and each of their respective, agents, employees, directors, officers,
shareholders, successors and assigns against any indemnified Claim described in

this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents or to the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or any act or omission to act by Lender with
respect hereto or thereto, and that if it shall fail to give such notice to

assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights hereunder or
any interest herein without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may sell
to any other financial entity (a "Participant") participation interests in
Lender's rights under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents; provided
that notwithstanding the sale of participations, Lender shall remain solely
responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, Lender
shall remain the holder of the Note for all purposes under this Agreement and
Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender may disclose the
Operative Documents and any other financial or other information relating to
Borrower or any Subsidiary to any potential Participant, provided that such
Participant agrees to protect the confidentiality of such documents and
information using the same measures that it uses to protect its own confidential
information.
10.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of
which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
10.12. Further Assurances. Borrower will, at its own expense, from time
to time do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all further acts, deeds,
conveyances, transfers and assurances, and all financing and continuation
statements and similar notices, reasonably necessary or proper for the
perfection of the security interest being herein provided for in the Collateral,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
10.13. Power of Attorney in Respect of the Collateral. Borrower does
hereby irrevocably appoint Lender (which appointment is coupled with an
interest), the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower
-22-
<PAGE> 23
with full power of substitution, for it and in its name (a) to perform (but
Lender shall not be obligated to and shall incur no liability to Borrower or any
third party for failure to perform) any act which Borrower is obligated by this
Agreement to perform, (b) to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue
for, compound and give acquittance for any and all rents, issues, profits,
avails, distributions, income, payment draws and other sums in which a security
interest is granted under Section 5.01 with full power to settle, adjust or
compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Lender were Borrower itself, (c)
to receive payment of and to endorse the name of Borrower to any items of
Collateral (including checks, drafts and other orders for the payment of money)
that come into Lender's possession or under Lender's control, (d) to make all
demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action with respect to, the
Collateral, (e) in Lender's discretion, to file any claim or take any other
action or institute proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of
Borrower or otherwise, which Lender may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate
to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the
Collateral, and (f) to otherwise act with respect thereto as though Lender were
the outright owner of the Collateral; provided, however, that the power of
attorney herein granted shall be exercisable only upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default unless in Lender's reasonable opinion
immediate action is necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral. Borrower
agrees to reimburse Lender upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and expenses, which Lender may incur while acting as
Borrower's attorney in fact hereunder, all of which costs and expenses are
included within the Obligations.
10.14 Confidentiality. All information (other than periodic reports
filed by Borrower with the Securities and Exchange Commission) disclosed by
Borrower to Lender in writing or through inspection pursuant to this Agreement
shall be considered confidential. Lender agrees to use the same degree of care
to safeguard and prevent disclosure of such confidential information as Lender
uses with its own confidential information, but in any event no less than a
reasonable degree of care. Lender shall not disclose such information to any
third party (other than Lender's or Lender's partner's attorneys and auditors
subject to the same confidentiality obligation set forth herein) and shall use
such information only for purposes of evaluation of its investment in Borrower
and the exercise of Lender's rights and the enforcement of its remedies under
this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements. The obligations of
confidentiality shall not apply to any information that (a) was known to the
public prior to disclosure by Borrower under this Agreement, (b) becomes known
to the public through no fault of Lender, (c) is disclosed to Lender by a third

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
May 20, 1999
MMC/GATX Partnership No. I
c/o GATX Capital Corporation, Agent
Four Embarcadero Center
Suite 2200
San Francisco, California 94111
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for PACKETEER INC. (the "Borrower") in
connection with (i) the execution of the Loan and Security Agreement of even
date herewith (the "Loan") between Borrower and MMC/GATX Partnership No. I
("Lender"), (ii) the issuance of a warrant to purchase 45,000 shares of
Borrower's Series D Preferred Stock (the "Warrant") and (iii) the transactions
contemplated thereby. This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section
8.01 of the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this
opinion have the meaning given them in the Loan Agreement.
In connection with this opinion and our representation, we have examined
originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of
the following:
(i) The Loan Agreement;
(ii) The Warrant and exhibits thereto dated as of May 20, 1999, issued
by Borrower to Lender;
(iii) The Note dated as of May 20, 1999;
(iv) The Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of
Borrower, each as in effect on the date hereof;
(v) The certificate of an officer of Borrower as to certain factual
matters ("Officer Certificate");
(vi) Certificates issued by the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware dated _______________________, 1999, and the Secretary of State of the
State of California, dated _________________________, 199_____, certifying the
good standing of Borrower;
(vi) Such other documents, records, and certificates as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereafter expressed.
The Loan Agreement, the Note and the Warrant are hereinafter referred to
as the "Transaction Documents."
-34-
<PAGE> 35
In such examinations we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the
conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as certified,
facsimile, telecopied or photostatic copies thereof. As to certain matters of
fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the Officer Certificate and
upon your representations in the Transaction Documents.
As used in this opinion, the expression "to the best of our knowledge,"
means the actual present knowledge or belief of those attorneys in our firm who
have or who are currently representing Borrower. We have not undertaken any
independent investigation to determine the existence or nonexistence of other
facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or nonexistence of
other facts should be drawn from the fact of this firm's representation of
Borrower in connection with the Transaction Documents.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the
qualifications contained herein, we are of the opinion that:
(a) Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly qualified to
do business and in good standing in the State of California.
(b) Borrower has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform the Transaction Documents and to issue the Warrant. All
action on the part of Borrower, its directors and its shareholders necessary for
the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents, has been taken. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and
delivered by an authorized officer of Borrower.
(c) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents
do not conflict with or violate any provision of Borrower's Restated
[Certificate] [Articles] of Incorporation or Bylaws or of applicable law and, to
the best of our knowledge, do not conflict with or constitute a default under
any provision of any judgment, writ, decree, order or material agreement,
indenture, or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound.
(d) The Transaction Documents constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
To our knowledge, no filing need be made with any governmental authority with
respect to the Transaction Documents in connection with an exemption from state
usury laws or in connection with any other matter.
(e) The Series D Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon such exercise, and when
issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
(f) The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D
Preferred Stock into which the Warrant is convertible, have been duly authorized
and reserved and for issuance, when so issued in accordance with the terms of
Borrower's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, will be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following additional
qualifications, assumptions, limitations and exceptions:
-35-
<PAGE> 36
(A) The effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the
rights and remedies of creditors generally.
(B) Limitations imposed by general equitable principles upon the
specific enforceability of any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents
and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
(C) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any choice of law
provision in the documents.
(D) We express no opinion as to the compliance or noncompliance with
applicable antifraud statutes under the rules and regulations of state and
federal securities laws concerning the issuance of the Warrant.
(E) We express no opinion herein concerning any law other than the law
of the State of California, the general corporate law of the State of Delaware
and the federal laws of the United States of America.
This opinion is furnished to you solely for your benefit and may not be
relied upon by any other person (other than assignees of any of your rights)
without our prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
Very truly yours,

shall result, from time to time, from the adjustments specified in Section 4
hereof is herein referred to as the "Warrant Price"), subject to the provisions
and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. As used herein, (a) the
term "Series Preferred" shall mean the Company's presently authorized Series D

may hereafter be converted or exchanged, and after the automatic conversion of
the Series D Preferred Stock to Common Stock shall mean the Company's Common
Stock, (b) the term "Date of Grant" shall mean May 20, 1999, and (c) the term
"Other Warrants" shall mean any other warrants issued by the Company in
connection with the transaction with respect to which this Warrant was issued,
and any warrant issued upon transfer or partial exercise of or in lieu of this
Warrant. The term "Warrant" as used herein shall be deemed to include Other
Warrants unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
1. Term. The purchase right represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in
whole or in part, at any time and from time to time from the Date of Grant
through the later of (i) ten (10) years after the Date of Grant or (ii) five (5)
years after the closing of the Company's initial public offering of its Common
Stock ("IPO") effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or its
successor) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. Subject to
Section 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be
exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time, at
the election of the holder hereof, by (a) the surrender of this Warrant (with
the notice of exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1
duly completed and executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the
payment to the Company, by certified or bank check, or by wire transfer to an
account designated by the Company (a "Wire
<PAGE> 40
Transfer") of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price multiplied by
the number of Shares then being purchased; (b) if in connection with a
registered public offering of the Company's securities, the surrender of this
Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 duly
completed and executed) at the principal office of the Company together with
notice of arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Company for payment to the
Company either by certified or bank check or by Wire Transfer from the proceeds
of the sale of shares to be sold by the holder in such public offering of an
amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the
number of Shares then being purchased; or (c) exercise of the "net issuance"
right provided for in Section 10.2 hereof. The person or persons in whose
name(s) any certificate(s) representing shares of Series Preferred shall be
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the
holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder(s) of, the shares represented thereby (and such shares shall be deemed to
have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or
dates upon which this Warrant is exercised. In the event of any exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so
purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any
event within thirty (30) days after such exercise and, unless this Warrant has
been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the
Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised shall also be issued to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in
any event within such thirty-day period; provided, however, at such time as the
Company is subject to the reporting requirments of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, if requested by the holder of this Warrant, the Company
shall cause its transfer agent to deliver the certificate representing Shares
issued upon exercise of this Warrant to a broker or other person (as directed by
the holder exercising this Warrant) within the time period required to settle
any trade made by the holder after exercise of this Warrant.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Shares that may be issued
upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance
pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, be fully paid and nonassessable,
and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the
purpose of the issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this
Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Series Preferred to provide for
the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and a sufficient number
of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Series
Preferred into Common Stock.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind
of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events, as follows:
(a) Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification
or change of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
(other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no
par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in
case of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a
-2-
<PAGE> 41
merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the
surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in
case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the
Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall
duly execute and deliver to the holder of this Warrant a new Warrant (in form
and substance satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant), or the Company shall
make appropriate provision without the issuance of a new Warrant, so that the
holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase
price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of
this Warrant, and in lieu of the shares of Series Preferred theretofore issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant, (i) the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change,
merger or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Series Preferred then
purchasable under this Warrant, or (ii) in the case of such a merger or sale in
which the consideration paid consists all or in part of assets other than
securities of the successor or purchasing corporation, at the option of the
Holder of this Warrant, the securities of the successor or purchasing
corporation having a value at the time of the transaction equivalent to the
valuation of the Series Preferred at the time of the transaction. Any new
Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may
be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The provisions
of this subparagraph (a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications,
changes, mergers and transfers.
(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any
time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or
combine its outstanding shares of Series Preferred, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately decreased and the number of Shares issuable hereunder shall be
proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision and the Warrant Price
shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable hereunder
shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.
(c) Stock Dividends and Other Distributions. If the Company at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall (i) pay a
dividend with respect to Series Preferred payable in Series Preferred, then the
Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price
determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the
total number of shares of Series Preferred outstanding immediately prior to such
dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Series Preferred outstanding immediately after such dividend
or distribution; or (ii) make any other distribution with respect to Series
Preferred (except any distribution specifically provided for in Sections 4(a)
and 4(b)), then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such
that the holder of this Warrant shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant a
proportionate share of any such dividend or distribution as though it were the
holder of the Series Preferred (or Common Stock issuable upon conversion
thereof) as of the record date fixed for the determination of the shareholders
of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.

<PAGE> 42
(d) Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the
Warrant Price, the number of Shares of Series Preferred purchasable hereunder
shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by
multiplying the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to such
adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of
which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.
(e) Antidilution Rights. The other antidilution rights applicable
to the Shares of Series Preferred purchasable hereunder are set forth in the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended through the Date of Grant, a
true and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Charter").
Such antidilution rights shall not be restated, amended, modified or waived in
any manner that is adverse to the holder hereof without such holder's prior
written consent. The Company shall promptly provide the holder hereof with any
restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter promptly after the
same has been made.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or the number of
Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the
Company shall make a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting
forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of
the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the
Warrant Price and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect
to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed
(without regard to Section 13 hereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid) to
the holder of this Warrant. In addition, whenever the conversion price or
conversion ratio of the Series Preferred shall be adjusted, the Company shall
make a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the
adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the
conversion price or ratio of the Series Preferred after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (without
regard to Section 13 hereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the holder
of this Warrant.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Series Preferred will be
issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional
shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based on the fair market
value of the Series Preferred on the date of exercise as reasonably determined
in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.
7. Compliance with Act; Disposition of Warrant or Shares of Series
Preferred.
(a) Compliance with Act. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant, and the shares of Series Preferred
to be issued upon exercise hereof and any Common Stock issued upon conversion
thereof are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer,
sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or any shares of Series Preferred to
be issued upon exercise hereof or any Common Stock issued upon conversion
thereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the
Act or any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant,
unless the Shares being acquired are registered under the Act and any
-4-
<PAGE> 43
applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is
available, the holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the shares of Series
Preferred so purchased (and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion
thereof) are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward
distribution or resale in violation of the Act and shall confirm such other
matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Company. This
Warrant and all shares of Series Preferred issued upon exercise of this Warrant
and all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof (unless registered
under the Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION
MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS RELATED THERETO,
(ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED, (iii) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION
LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, OR (iv) OTHERWISE
COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7 OF THE WARRANT UNDER WHICH THESE
SECURITIES WERE ISSUED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY."
Said legend shall be removed by the Company, upon the request of a holder,
which shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel, if requested by the
Company, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable
security shall have terminated. In addition, in connection with the issuance of
this Warrant, the holder specifically represents to the Company by acceptance of
this Warrant as follows:
(1) The holder is aware of the Company's business affairs
and financial condition, and has acquired information about the Company
sufficient to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this
Warrant. The holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account for investment
purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any
"distribution" thereof in violation of the Act.
(2) The holder understands that this Warrant has not been
registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which
exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the holder's
investment intent as expressed herein.
(3) The holder further understands that this Warrant must
be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified
under any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from
registration and qualification are otherwise available. The holder is aware of
the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Act.
-5-
<PAGE> 44
(4) The holder is an "accredited investor" as such term is
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
(b) Disposition of Warrant or Shares. With respect to any offer,
sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any shares of Series Preferred
acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such
Warrant or shares, the holder hereof agrees to give written notice to the
Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a
written opinion of such holder's counsel, or other evidence, if reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other
disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act
as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this
Warrant or such shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock and indicating
whether or not under the Act certificates for this Warrant or such shares of
Series Preferred to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive
legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure
compliance with such law. Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably
satisfactory opinion or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable
but no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the written notice, shall
notify such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this
Warrant or such shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock, all in accordance
with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has
been made pursuant to this Section 7(b) that the opinion of counsel for the
holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the
Company shall so notify the holder promptly with details thereof after such
determination has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant or such
shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock may, as to such federal laws, be
offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 or 144A under
the Act, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such
information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable
assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 or 144A have been satisfied. Each
certificate representing this Warrant or the shares of Series Preferred thus
transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A) shall bear a legend
as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure
compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the
holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such
laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in
connection with such restrictions.
(c) Applicability of Restrictions. Neither any restrictions of
any legend described in this Warrant nor the requirements of Section 7(b) above
shall apply to any transfer of, or grant of a security interest in, this Warrant
(or the Series Preferred or Common Stock obtainable upon exercise thereof) or
any part hereof (i) to a partner of the holder if the holder is a partnership or
to a member of the holder if the holder is a limited liability company, (ii) to
a partnership of which the holder is a partner or to a limited liability company
of which the holder is a member, or (iii) to any affiliate of the holder if the
holder is a corporation; provided, however, in any such transfer, if applicable,
the transferee shall on the Company's request agree in writing to be bound by
the terms of this Warrant as if an original holder hereof.

8. Rights as Shareholders; Information. No holder of this Warrant, as
such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of
Series Preferred or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be
issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained
herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of
the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election
of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting
thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or
subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised
and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become
deliverable, as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will
transmit to the holder of this Warrant such information, documents and reports
as are generally distributed to the holders of any class or series of the
securities of the Company concurrently with the distribution thereof to the
shareholders.
9. [Reserved]
10. Additional Rights.
10.1 Acquisition Transactions. The Company shall provide the holder of
this Warrant with at least twenty (20) days' written notice prior to closing
thereof of the terms and conditions of any of the following transactions (to the
extent the Company has notice thereof): (i) the sale, lease, exchange,
conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's
property or business, or (ii) its merger into or consolidation with any other
corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), or any
transaction (including a merger or other reorganization) or series of related
transactions, in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is
disposed of.
10.2 Right to Convert Warrant into Stock: Net Issuance.
(a) Right to Convert. In addition to and without limiting the
rights of the holder under the terms of this Warrant, the holder shall have the
right to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof (the "Conversion Right")
into shares of Series Preferred (or Common Stock if the Series Preferred has
been automatically converted into Common Stock) as provided in this Section 10.2
at any time or from time to time during the term of this Warrant. Upon exercise
of the Conversion Right with respect to a particular number of shares subject to
this Warrant (the "Converted Warrant Shares"), the Company shall deliver to the
holder (without payment by the holder of any exercise price or any cash or other
consideration) that number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Series
Preferred (or Common Stock if the Series Preferred has been automatically
converted into Common Stock) as is determined according to the following
formula:
-7-
<PAGE> 46
X = B-A
---
Y
Where: X = the number of shares of Series Preferred (or Common
Stock if the Series Preferred has been automatically
converted to Common Stock) that shall be issued to
holder
Y = the fair market value of one share of Series Preferred
(or Common Stock if the Series Preferred has been
automatically converted to Common Stock)
A = the aggregate Warrant Price of the specified number of
Converted Warrant Shares immediately prior to the
exercise of the Conversion Right (i.e., the number of
Converted Warrant Shares multiplied by the Warrant
Price)
B = the aggregate fair market value of the specified
number of Converted Warrant Shares (i.e., the number of
Converted Warrant Shares multiplied by the fair market
value of one Converted Warrant Share)
No fractional shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Conversion
Right, and, if the number of shares to be issued determined in accordance with
the foregoing formula is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay to the
holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the resulting
fractional share on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined). For purposes
of Section 9 of this Warrant, shares issued pursuant to the Conversion Right
shall be treated as if they were issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Conversion Right may be exercised by
the holder by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company together with a written statement (which may be in the form of Exhibit
A-1 or Exhibit A-2 hereto) specifying that the holder thereby intends to
exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of shares subject to
this Warrant which are being surrendered (referred to in Section 10.2(a) hereof
as the Converted Warrant Shares) in exercise of the Conversion Right. Such
conversion shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant
together with the aforesaid written statement, or on such later date as is
specified therein (the "Conversion Date"), and, at the election of the holder
hereof, may be made contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Company's
Common Stock to the public in a public offering pursuant to a Registration
Statement under the Act (a "Public Offering"). Certificates for the shares
issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right and, if applicable, a new warrant
evidencing the balance of the shares remaining subject to this Warrant, shall be
issued as of the Conversion Date and shall be delivered to the holder within
thirty (30) days following the Conversion Date.

<PAGE> 47
(c) Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this
Section 10.2, "fair market value" of a share of Series Preferred (or Common
Stock if the Series Preferred has been automatically converted into Common
Stock) as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean:
(i) If the Conversion Right is exercised in connection
with and contingent upon a Public Offering, and if the Company's Registration
Statement relating to such Public Offering ("Registration Statement") has been
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial
"Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with respect to such
offering.
(ii) If the Conversion Right is not exercised in
connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:
(A) If traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value of
the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the
Common Stock on such exchange over the 30-day period ending five business days
prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Series
Preferred shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of
Series Preferred is then convertible;
(B) If traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market or other
over-the-counter system, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be
deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the Common Stock over the
30-day period ending five business days prior to the Determination Date, and the
fair market value of the Series Preferred shall be deemed to be such fair market
value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
into which each share of Series Preferred is then convertible; and
(C) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair
market value shall be determined by by the Board of Directors of the Company.
10.3 Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Warrant is not
previously exercised as to all of the Shares subject hereto, and if the fair
market value of one share of the Series Preferred is greater than the Warrant
Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised
pursuant to Section 10.2 above (even if not surrendered) immediately before its
expiration. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of
one share of the Series Preferred upon such expiration shall be determined
pursuant to Section 10.2(c). To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof
is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Company
agrees to promptly notify the holder hereof of the number of Shares, if any, the
holder hereof is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.
11. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to

SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
This Subordination Agreement is made as of this 20th day of May, 1999, by
and between Comdisco, Inc. ("Senior Creditor"), a Delaware corporation having
its principal place of business at 6111 North River Road, Rosemont, IL 60018,
and MMC/GATX Partnership No. I, a California general partnership, having its
principal place of business at Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 2200, San
Francisco, California 94111 ("Creditor").
RECITALS
A. Packeteer, Inc. ("Borrower") has requested and/or obtained certain
loans or other credit accommodations from Senior Creditor to Borrower which are
or may be from time to time secured by assets and property of Borrower.
B. Creditor has extended a loan in the aggregate original principal amount
of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) as
evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note (as the same may from time to time be
amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, the
"Subordinated Note") made by Borrower in favor of Creditor. The Borrower's
obligations to Creditor evidenced by the Subordinated Note are secured by the
personal property collateral granted by the Borrower to Creditor pursuant to a
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 20, 1999 (as the same may from time
to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the "Subordinated
Security Agreement").
C. In order to induce Senior Creditor to extend credit to Borrower and, at
any time or from time to time, at Senior Creditor's option, to make such further
loans, extensions of credit, or other accommodations to or for the account of
Borrower, or to purchase or extend credit upon any instrument or writing in
respect of which Borrower may be liable in any capacity, or to grant such
renewals or extension of any such loan, extension of credit, purchase, or other
accommodation as Senior Creditor may deem advisable, Creditor is willing to
subordinate: (i) all of Borrower's indebtedness and obligations to Creditor,
whether presently existing or arising in the future under or relating to the
Subordinated Security Agreement and Subordinated Note (collectively, the
"Subordinated Debt") to Borrower's indebtedness and obligations to Senior
Creditor up to $2,500,000.00 plus the cost of collecting such obligations
(including attorneys' fees), including, without limitations, all interest
accruing after the commencement by or against Borrower of an bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding; and (ii) all of Creditor's security
interests, if any, to all of Senior Creditor's security interests in the
Borrower's property up to $2,500,000.00 plus cost of collecting such obligations
(including attorneys' fees), including, without limitations, all interest
accruing after the commencement by or against Borrower of an bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this definition of "Subordinated Debt", there shall be expressly
excluded from such definition (1) the warrant executed by Borrower in favor of
the Creditor pursuant to which Borrower granted Creditor the right to purchase
shares of its Preferred Stock ("Warrant Agreement"); and (2) all amounts due or
to become due relating to the Warrant Agreement, including, without limitation,
all interest and all fees, expenses and costs (including attorneys' fees),
including costs of enforcement, amounts reimbursable and other liabilities
(including interest, fees, professional fees and costs which would become due
but for the operation of the Bankruptcy Code) (collectively, the "Excluded
Agreements").
D. Senior Creditor is a party to a Subordination Agreement, dated as of
January 21, 1999, entered into with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Comdisco/SVB
Subordination Agreement") pursuant to which Senior Creditor has subordinated to
Silicon Valley Bank its liens and rights under its subordinated note and its
subordinated loan and security agreement with Borrower to the liens and rights
of Silicon Valley Bank (the "SVB Debt"). Creditor is a party to a Subordination
Agreement, dated as of May 20, 1999, entered into with Silicon Valley Bank (the
"MMC/SVB Subordination Agreement") pursuant to which Creditor has subordinated
to Silicon Valley Bank its liens and rights under the Subordinated Debt to the
SVB Debt.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
-1-
<PAGE> 55
1. Creditor subordinates to Senior Creditor any security interest or lien,
subject to the limit set forth herein, that Creditor may have in any property of
Borrower, other than with respect to the Excluded Agreements. Notwithstanding
the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of
Creditor and the security interest of Senior Creditor, the security interest of
Senior Creditor in the Collateral, as defined in the Loan and Security
Agreement, dated as of [January 21, 1999], between Borrower and Senior Creditor
(the "Loan Agreement"), shall at all times be prior to the security interest of
Creditor.

of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and all obligations
under the Loan Agreement not to exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars

Nothing herein shall be deemed to subordinate, waive or restrict the
payment or performance of the obligations arising under the Excluded Agreements
or subordinate the priority of any lien or interest in property securing or
evidenced by the Excluded Agreements, provided, however, such exclusion shall be
limited to the property securing such Excluded Agreements.
3. Subject to and except as set forth in Section 4 below, Creditor will
not demand or receive from Borrower (and Borrower will not pay to Creditor) all
or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff,
lawsuit or otherwise, nor will Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the
Collateral, nor will Creditor commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or
participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against Borrower,
for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt remains outstanding.

Creditor.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if the Senior Creditor delivers to
Creditor written notice (a "Blockage Notice") which states that either:
(i) a specific default by Borrower involving the payment of
the Senior Debt (a "Payment Default") has occurred under the Loan
Agreement and continues to exist after the giving of any required notice
and the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, or
(ii) a specific default by Borrower not involving the payment

<PAGE> 56
(iii) Senior Creditor has received a blockage notice from
Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") under the terms of a subordination agreement
dated January 21, 1999 between Senior Creditor and SVB.
then from and after the date of delivery of any such Blockage Notice, (i)
Creditor shall not accept or receive any payment of any kind of or on account of
the Subordinated Debt (including any Permitted Payment), unless and until the
earlier of (A) the time such Payment Default or Non-Payment Default shall have
been cured by Borrower or waived in writing by Senior Creditor, or (B) the
expiration of the Blockage Period (as defined below) for such Blockage Notice,
and (ii) Creditor shall disgorge any Permitted Payments received, for a period
not to exceed two (2) months during the time commencing upon the occurrence of a
Payment Default or Non-Payment Default until the date of receipt by Creditor of
such Blockage Notice, provided, that while the SVB Debt is outstanding or
Creditor remains bound by the terms of the MMC/SVB Subordination Agreement, such
disgorgement shall be made to SVB pursuant to the terms of the MMC/SVB
Subordination Agreement.
As used herein, "Blockage Period" means a period of time beginning on the
date a Blockage Notice is delivered to Creditor and termination on the earlier
to occur of:
(1) 180 days following such date; provided that if, prior to the
expiration of such 180-day period, Senior Creditor has commenced a
judicial proceeding or non-judicial actions to collect or enforce the
Senior Debt or the collateral for the Senior Debt, or a case or proceeding
by or against Borrower is commenced under the federal Bankruptcy Code or
any other insolvency law, then such period shall be extended during the
continuation of such proceedings and actions under the payment in cash or
other property or securities in the full amount of the allowed claim of
the Senior Debt; or
(2) Senior Creditor's written consent to such termination.
With respect to Non-Payment Defaults, in no event shall the Blockage
Period during any period of 365 consecutive days exceed 180 days in the
aggregate, whether pursuant to one (1) Blockage Notice or multiple Blockage
Notices; provided, however, the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the
event that prior to the expiration of such 180 day period Senior Creditor has
commenced a judicial proceeding or non-judicial actions to collect or enforce
the Senior Debt or a case of proceeding by or against Borrower is commenced
under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency law, then such period
shall be extended during the continuation of such proceedings and actions until
the payment in cash or other property or securities in the full amount of the
allowed claim of the Senior Debt. After the satisfaction of the applicable
conditions specified in (1) or (2) above, Creditor shall be entitled to receive
all Permitted Payments until Creditor's receipt of a subsequent Blockage Notice
from Senior Creditor.
5. Creditor shall promptly deliver to Senior Creditor in the form received
(except for endorsement or assignment by Creditor where required by Senior
Creditor) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security
or proceeds received by Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other
than in accordance with this Agreement provided, that while the SVB Debt is
outstanding or Creditor remains bound by the terms of the MMC/SVB Subordination
Agreement, such delivery shall be made to SVB pursuant to the terms of the
MMC/SVB Subordination Agreement.
6. In the event of Borrower's insolvency, reorganization or any case or
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief
of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and Senior
Creditor's claims against Borrower and the estate of Borrower shall be paid in
full before any payment is made to Creditor.
7. For so long as any of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, Creditor
irrevocably appoints Senior Creditor as Creditor's attorney-in-fact, and grants
to Senior Creditor a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the
name of Creditor or in the name of Senior Creditor, for the use and benefit of
Senior Creditor, without notice to Creditor, in any bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar proceeding involving Borrower to (i) file the appropriate claim or
claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of Creditor if (a) Creditor
does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims
in
-3-
<PAGE> 57
such proceeding, and (b) if Senior Creditor elects, in its sole discretion, to
file such claim or claims and (ii) accept or reject any plan or reorganization
or arrangement on behalf of Creditor and to otherwise vote Creditor's claims in
respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that Senior Creditor deems
appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder if Creditor does not
accept, reject or otherwise vote its claims within fifteen (15) days of receipt
of written notice from Senior Creditor of its intent to do so on behalf of
Creditor, provided, that while the SVB Debt is outstanding or Creditor remains
bound by the terms of the MMC/SVB Subordination Agreement, the rights granted to
Senior Creditor may only be exercised with the prior written consent of SVB.
8. Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing
the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of
this Agreement. No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the
Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this
Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the
Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the security interest or lien that
Creditor may have in any property of Borrower. By way of example, such
instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with
respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate the payment of the
principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt.
9. This Agreement shall remain effective for so long as Borrower owes any
amounts to Senior Creditor under the Loan Agreement or otherwise in an amount
not to exceed the Senior Debt. If, at any time after payment in full of the
Senior Debt any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by Senior Creditor
for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of Borrower), this
Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be
reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not
been made and Creditor shall immediately pay over to Senior Creditor all
payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such
payments would have been prohibited hereunder, provided, that while the SVB Debt
is outstanding or Creditor remains bound by the terms of the MMC/SVB
Subordination Agreement, such payments shall be paid over to SVB pursuant to the
terms of the MMC/SVB Subordination Agreement. At any time and from time to time,
without notice to Creditor, Senior Creditor may take such actions with respect
to the Senior Debt as Senior Creditor, in its sole discretion, may deem
appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances to Borrower,
increasing the principal amount in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000.00,
extending the time of payment, increasing applicable interest rates, renewing,
compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the
Senior Debt and any collateral securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or
failing to enforce any rights against Borrower or any other person. Creditor
waives the benefits, if any, of any statutory or common law rule that may permit
a subordinating creditor to assert any defenses of a surety or guarantor, or
that may give the subordinating creditor the right to require a senior creditor
to marshal assets, and Creditor agrees that it shall not assert any such
defenses or rights.
10. This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of Creditor and
shall benefit any successors or assigns of Senior Creditor. This Agreement is
solely for the benefit of Creditor and Senior Creditor and not for the benefit
of Borrower or any other party. Creditor further agrees that if Borrower is in
the process of refinancing a portion of the Senior Debt with a new lender, and
if Senior Creditor makes a request of Creditor, Creditor shall agree to enter
into a new subordination agreement with the new lender on substantially the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
11. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one
instrument. This Agreement shall become effective only when it shall have been
executed by Creditor and Senior Creditor (provided, however, in no event shall
this Agreement become effective until signed by an officer of Senior Creditor in
California).
12. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California without giving effect to conflicts of law
principles. Creditor and Senior Creditor submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.
CREDITOR AND SENIOR CREDITOR WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.
-4-
<PAGE> 58
13. This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and
commitments. Creditor is not relying on any representations by Senior Creditor
or Borrower in entering into this Agreement, and Creditor has kept and will
continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of
Borrower. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by
Creditor and Senior Creditor.
14. In the event of any legal action to enforce the rights of a party
under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled, in
addition to such other relief as may be granted, all reasonable costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in such action.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the

SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
This Subordination Agreement is made as of this 20th day of May, 1999, by
and between Silicon Valley Bank ("Senior Creditor") having its principal place
of business at 3003 Tasman, Santa Clara, California 95054, and MMC/GATX

RECITALS
A. Packeteer, Inc. ("Borrower") has requested and/or obtained certain
loans or other credit accommodations from Senior Creditor to Borrower which are
or may be from time to time secured by assets and property of Borrower.
B. Creditor has extended a loan in the aggregate original principal amount
of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) as
evidenced by a Secured Promissory Notes (as the same may from time to time be
amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, the
"Subordinated Note") made by Borrower in favor of Creditor. The Borrower's
obligations to Creditor evidenced by the Subordinated Note are secured by the
personal property collateral granted by the Borrower to Creditor pursuant to a
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 20, 1999 (as the same may from time
to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the "Subordinated
Security Agreement").
C. In order to induce Senior Creditor to extend credit to Borrower and, at
any time or from time to time, at Senior Creditor's option, to make such further
loans, extensions of credit, or other accommodations to or for the account of
Borrower, or to purchase or extend credit upon any instrument or writing in
respect of which Borrower may be liable in any capacity, or to grant such
renewals or extension of any such loan, extension of credit, purchase, or other
accommodation as Senior Creditor may deem advisable, Creditor is willing to
subordinate: (i) all of Borrower's indebtedness and obligations to Creditor,
whether presently existing or arising in the future under or relating to the
Subordinated Security Agreement and Subordinated Note (collectively, the
"Subordinated Debt") to Borrower's indebtedness and obligations to Senior
Creditor up to $3,000,000.00 plus cost of collecting such obligations (including
attorneys' fees), including, without limitations, all interest accruing after
the commencement by or against Borrower of an bankruptcy, reorganization or
similar proceeding; and (ii) all of Creditor's security interests, if any, to
all of Senior Creditor's security interests in the Borrower's property up to
$3,000,000.00 plus cost of collecting such obligations (including attorneys'
fees), including, without limitations, all interest accruing after the
commencement by or against Borrower of an bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
definition of "Subordinated Debt", there shall be expressly excluded from such
definition (1) Warrant Agreement(s) between Borrower and the Creditor pursuant
to which Borrower granted Creditor the right to purchase shares of its Preferred
Stock ("Warrant Agreement"); and (2) all amounts due or to become due relating
to the Warrant Agreement(s), including, without limitation, all interest and all
fees, expenses and costs (including attorneys' fees), including costs of
enforcement, amounts reimbursable and other liabilities (including interest,
fees, professional fees and costs which would become due but for the operation
of the Bankruptcy Code) (collectively, the "Excluded Agreements").
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Creditor subordinates to Senior Creditor any security interest or lien,
subject to the limit set forth herein, that Creditor may have in any property of
Borrower, other than with respect to the Excluded Agreements. Notwithstanding
the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of
Creditor and the security interest of Senior Creditor, the security interest of
Senior Creditor in the Collateral, as defined in the Loan and Security
Agreement, dated as of January 15, 1999, between Borrower and Senior Creditor
(the "Loan Agreement"), shall at all times be prior to the security interest of
Creditor.
