RECITALS

The parties to this Agreement wish to enter into a non-exclusive,
non-transferable agreement pursuant to which VAR will purchase and/or market
certain of the proprietary Products ("the Products") developed and manufactured
by SELECTICA. Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
conditions contained in this Agreement, SELECTICA and VAR agree as follows:

1.   APPOINTMENT

1.1  SELECTICA appoints VAR, and VAR accepts appointment as an authorized,
non-exclusive Value Added Reseller of the Products listed on EXHIBIT B hereto
(the "Products"). This appointment authorizes VAR to distribute Products
directly to end-user customers only within the Territory. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Territory" shall mean Korea. VAR must obtain prior written consent
from Selectica for any distribution outside of the Territory. VAR can recommend
resellers in Korea to resell Selectica products. Selectica may approve a
reseller if it meets certain criteria (e.g., such potential resellers do not
represent competitive products/companies and have the expertise to resell and
support Selectica products). If Selectica approves such reseller, VAR may
execute a reseller agreement directly with the reseller with terms and
conditions no less restrictive than those contained in this Agreement. VAR may
not execute any reseller agreements with any reseller not previously approved in
writing by Selectica.

1.2  Although SELECTICA may, from time to time, publish suggested list prices
of the Products, VAR has the right to determine its own resale prices
unilaterally. No SELECTICA representative has any authority to require VAR to
charge a particular resale price for the Products or to otherwise inhibit VAR's
pricing discretion. VAR will promptly report any attempt to do so to
SELECTICA's management in writing.

1.3  SELECTICA reserves the right, during the term of this Agreement and
thereafter, to market products that are the same as or similar to those products
that are the subject of this Agreement, in the same geographical areas serviced
by VAR, either directly or indirectly through independent agents, dealers,
developers, distributors, value added resellers, system integrators and Original
Equipment Manufacturers' without obligation or liability to VAR.

2.   LICENSE GRANT

As part of the appointment under Section 1.1, and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Selectica grants VAR (i) a nonexclusive,
non-transferable license to use and distribute internally the Products for
internal testing and development purposes and for demonstration and support of
End Users (the "End-User License");



[*] - CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
      WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH
      RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

<PAGE>   2
(ii) an exclusive, non-transferable license to distribute and sub-license the
Products directly or indirectly through VAR's distribution channel to End Users
in the Territory pursuant to the terms and conditions of an End User license
agreement that contains terms and conditions substantially similar to those set
forth in the End Use Agreement which is attached as Exhibit C (hereinafter the
"End User Agreement").

3.   FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS

3.1  Products Fees. VAR shall pay Selectica, for the Products that VAR is
purchasing pursuant to this Agreement the amount set forth in Exhibit B. Such
fees for the purchase of the Products set forth in Exhibit B shall be
non-refundable.

3.2  Internal Use License. VAR shall pay Selectica, for each of the Products
that it uses or distributes for internal purposes within the scope of the
rights set forth in Section 5(a)(i) of this Agreement, the amounts set forth in
Exhibit G.

3.3  Payment Terms. The payments to Selectica from VAR for the Products listed
on Exhibit B and the Internal Use License shall be paid upon the execution of
this Agreement.

3.4  Taxes, Fees, and Documentation. VAR agrees to pay, and to indemnify and
hold Selectica harmless from, any sales, use, excise, import or export, value
added or similar tax, not based on Selectica's net income, as well as the
collection or withholding thereof, including penalties and interest, and all
government permit or license fees and all customs, duty, tariff and similar
fees levied upon the delivery of the Products and other deliverables, and any
costs associated with the collection of any of the foregoing items. VAR shall
be responsible for obtaining, at its expense, all required import licenses,
permits or other governmental orders. If a resale certificate or other
certificate, document or other evidence of exemption or payment or withholding
of taxes by VAR is required in order to exempt the distribution or licensing of
the Products from any such liability or to enable Selectica to claim any tax
exemption, credit, or other benefit, VAR will promptly furnish such certificate
or document to Selectica.

4.   VAR RESPONSIBILITIES

In consideration for being appointed an authorized VAR of the Products, VAR
assumes the following responsibilities:

4.1  Maintain a sufficient number of trained and knowledgeable sales personnel
who are able to explain in detail the differences between the Products and
competitive products, and who can effectively market the Products and provide
support for the Products to all of the VAR's end-user customers.

4.2  Make reasonable efforts to maintain at lest one SELECTICA certified
technical resource on staff at all times.

4.3  Upon end-user customer request at the point of sale, explain and
demonstrate the Products and instruct the customer on the setup and
installation.

4.4  Display, demonstrate, and represent the Products fairly and make no
representations concerning SELECTICA or its products that are false, misleading
or inconsistent with those representations set forth in the promotional or
other materials that are supplied by SELECTICA.

4.5  Assure that the Products are sold to end-user customers only in complete
and appropriate packaging which includes an SELECTICA warranty and limitation
of liability statements, license agreement and/or other materials as specified
by SELECTICA. VAR shall require each End-User to execute the End User Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit C.

4.6  Promptly report to SELECTICA all suspected defects in the Products.

4.7  Prevent the unauthorized reverse engineering, decompilation and reverse
analysis of the products by VAR personnel and agents and use reasonable efforts
to prevent unauthorized reverse engineering decompilation and



                                       2
<PAGE>   3
reverse analysis by VAR customers. VAR agrees that if, for any reason, it comes
into possession of any source code, or portion thereof, for any Selectica
product, not generally provided by Selectica as a part of the Software Product,
it will immediately deliver all copies of such source code to Selectica.

4.8 Provide SELECTICA with monthly sales history and quarterly sales forecasts
of the Products.

4.9 Employ the level of energy, skills, and resources necessary to market the
Products actively.

4.10 Pay SELECTICA the fees set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement and
maintain a satisfactory overall credit rating.

4.11 Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in performing under this
Agreement.

4.12 In connection with any VAR proposals or agreements to supply the Products
or User Documentation to governments (or agencies thereof), VAR will take all
reasonable steps in making such proposals and agreements to ensure that
Selectica's Intellectual Property Rights in such Products and User Documentation
receive the maximum protection available from such governments for commercial
computer software and related documentation developed at private expense. The
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to expand the scope of VAR's
rights set forth in Section 5(a), nor to require VAR to seek or obtain
registrations of any kind whatsoever, in any portion of the Exclusive or
Nonexclusive Territories, to protect the Intellectual Property Rights of
Selectica.

5. SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE

5.1 Support: Pursuant to VAR being in compliance with the requirements as
detailed in Section 4, SELECTICA shall, during the term of this Agreement and
during SELECTICA's support business hours (5:00 AM - 5:00 PM PST), provide
technical support through appropriate communications mechanisms (telephone, fax,
electronic mail, or web services) to the designated support contact or backup
support contact of the VAR. Both designated support contact and backup support
contact are required to be trained by SELECTICA or its designee and maintain
certification as SELECTICA Certified Developer. VAR will submit in writing the
names of designated and backup support contacts. VAR will receive free of charge
technical information on the development of solutions, software problem
analysis, and responses to technical issues as they pertain to the operation of
SELECTICA's Products.

5.2 Maintenance to VAR: VAR will receive minor upgrades, updates, software
problem fixes, periodic reports on software problems, and other maintenance
support for the products purchased for the Internal Use License under the VAR
program as long as VAR is current with maintenance fees. VAR shall pay a minimum
annual maintenance fee at an amount as shown in EXHIBIT A for all term years
except year one. All maintenance fees received from VAR (not directly from
end-user) for VAR's end-user customers' annual maintenance shall be credited
against VAR's annual program maintenance fee. The annual program maintenance fee
only covers the development system(s) associated with the VAR Program as listed
in EXHIBIT A. Any additional products purchased by VAR for internal use will be
charged a separate maintenance fee as defined in Exhibit A. Such maintenance
fees will be included with each product order, prorated based on the upcoming
anniversary date of this Agreement. Renewal maintenance fees will be billed
annually on the anniversary date of this Agreement. The maintenance fees must be
kept current in order to remain in the VAR Program.

5.3 Maintenance to End User: VAR shall pay SELECTICA certain maintenance fees as
defined in EXHIBIT A for all products purchased by end-users where VAR is
providing first line support. VAR is required to provide first level support for
year one for each customer, at a minimum. SELECTICA agrees to provide second
line support to VAR provided that VAR is current with respect to maintenance
fees as defined in section 5.2. VAR will receive minor upgrades, updates,
software problem fixes, periodic reports on software problems, and other
maintenance support for the products that VAR is then entitled to pass on to
end-users. The annual maintenance fee covers only the Products VAR is licensed
to resell. First year maintenance fees are required for each customer and are
paid at the time of initial order. Subsequent renewal will be on each
anniversary of the maintenance effective date. The maintenance effective date is
defined as the date that SELECTICA ships product to VAR for a given customer.
For year two and onward, SELECTICA agrees to contract with end-user for
maintenance and support, if requested.

                                       3
<PAGE>   4
by VAR or end-user. In such cases, end-user will be billed SELECTICA's standard
maintenance and support fee as detailed in EXHIBIT A. Selectica shall have no
obligation to support: (i) altered or damaged Software or any portion of
Software incorporated with or into other software; (ii) Software that is not the
then current release or immediately previous sequential release which is aged
six (6) months or more since the issuance of the successive release; (iii)
Software problems caused by Company's negligence, abuse or misapplication, use
of Software other than as specified in Selectica user manual or other causes
beyond the control of Selectica; or (iv) Software installed on any hardware that
is not supported by Selectica. Selectica shall have no liability for any changes
in Company's hardware, which may be necessary to use Software due to a
workaround or maintenance release.

5.4  Updates and Maintenance Fixes: During the Agreement's term, SELECTICA will
furnish to VAR within a reasonable time after publication one copy of updates
and corrections to the Products VAR is authorized to resell. Such corrections
are collectively referred to herein as "Updates and/or Maintenance Fixes".
Updates and Maintenance Fixes do not include any releases or updates with a
change in the version number to the left of the decimal point or any release,
update or upgrade that has been customized for use by any particular user or
which is made solely to adopt or reflect trade dress of any third party.

5.5  Product Exchange: VAR shall be entitled to exchange any of the Products it
is purchasing pursuant to this Agreement to the other Products in this
Agreement.

6.   TERM AND RENEWAL

6.1  The term of this Agreement shall be a single Contract Period commencing on
the Effective Date set forth above and terminating one (1) year thereafter,
unless renewed as provided below or unless terminated sooner in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement.

6.2  This appointment as a VAR for SELECTICA's Products shall be automatically
renewable for successive twelve-month (12-month) periods unless written notice

expiration date.

7.   TERMINATION

7.1  If SELECTICA in its judgment finds VAR deficient in meeting VAR's
responsibilities or obligations under the terms of this Agreement, SELECTICA
will provide written notice of such deficiencies and establish a reasonable
period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, in which VAR must remedy such
deficiencies. In the event VAR does not correct the deficiencies, SELECTICA can,
at its option, terminate this Agreement. No waiver by SELECTICA of any
deficiencies in one or more instances shall constitute a waiver of SELECTICA's
right to terminate this Agreement in a subsequent instance.

7.2  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this agreement, and without
requirement for SELECTICA to reimburse VAR for any fees, SELECTICA may terminate
this Agreement immediately upon delivery of Notice of Termination to VAR if the

     Agreement a report, financial statement, tax return, or other information
     in which VAR knowingly submits false or misleading information.

deficiencies. In the event VAR does not correct the deficiencies, VAR can, at
its option, terminate this Agreement.

publicize the relationship established by this Agreement.

9.   INDEMNIFICATION

use of any Products furnished to VAR under this Agreement infringes any United
States patent or copyright. SELECTICA will indemnify VAR against any costs,
damages or fees finally awarded against VAR in such an action, provided that
VAR notifies SELECTICA promptly, in writing, of the claim, and grants SELECTICA
sole authority to defend or settle the claim, and also provides SELECTICA with
all reasonable information, assistance, and authority necessary to enable
SELECTICA to do so. SELECTICA shall have the right to substitute a new Product

substantially equivalent to the licensed Product that was originally delivered
to VAR.

9.2  SELECTICA shall have no liability under Section 9.1 for claims and/or
actions based on: (a) the use of other than the most current version of the
Products, if the claim or action could have been avoided by use of the most

from a dealer, distributor, or VAR not authorized by SELECTICA; or (c) the
modification of the Products by the VAR or a third party.

9.3  The indemnification by SELECTICA in Section 9.1 above shall not extend to
claims that arise solely from the work that VAR performs in integrating the
Products with other Products or in the marketing of the Products pursuant to
this Agreement. VAR agrees that, as to the content of such work VAR, at its own
expense, shall indemnify, defend and hold SELECTICA harmless from and against
any and all awards, judgments, expenses, damages, costs (including reasonable
attorney's fees) and losses resulting from any claim, action, suit or
proceeding threatened or instituted against SELECTICA based on a claim that the
integrated and combined Products and the use thereof, constitutes an
infringement upon or misappropriation of any patent, copyright, trade secret or
other proprietary right. Except with the written consent of SELECTICA, VAR will
not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which
does not include as an unconditional term thereof, the giving to SELECTICA a
full and final release from all liability or which limits or adversely affects
the rights of SELECTICA to carry on or conducts its business, then or into the
future.

suits, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses
(inclusive of Selectica's reasonable attorneys' fees) made against or incurred
by Selectica as a result of (i) negligence or misrepresentation by VAR or its
representatives, (ii) any error or omission on the part of VAR or
representatives of VAR or (iii) any action by VAR which affects Selectica's
Intellectual Property Rights (iv) any claims for compensation asserted by VAR's
employees. VAR shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold
Selectica harmless from, any claims, warranties or representations made by VAR
or VAR's employees or agents. VAR will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
Selectica and its successors, agents, officers, directors, and employees from
and against any violation of any laws or regulations by VAR or any of its
agents, officers, directors, employees, or customers.

noncompliance as communicated by VAR to SELECTICA. If after the expenditure of
reasonable efforts, SELECTICA is unable to correct any such noncompliance,
