                    SEPARATION AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

This Separation and Non-Competition Agreement is made this 25th day of January,
2005 by and between Manhattan Associates, Inc. ("Company") and Ramesh Srinivasan
("Executive").

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

      1)    Severance and Separation from Employment: Executive and Company have
            agreed that Executive will end his employment on March 31, 2005.
            However, on January 15, 2005, Executive's job description as well as
            scope and nature of Executive's employment will change. Executive
            will only be reasonably available upon the prior request of Company
            to perform services for Company consistent with Executive's prior
            job responsibilities. Between January 16, 2005 and March 31, 2005
            Executive may work for or with other entities as long has he does
            not perform competitive services for such entity during such period
            or otherwise violate any provision of this Agreement. On March 31,
            2005, Executive agrees to return to Company any and all Company
            property. Executive shall continue to receive his current base
            salary through March 31, 2005, subject to all standard deductions.
            Executive will likewise be accorded all other Employee Benefits he
            has been provided by the Company prior to this date and shall
            continue to be indemnified by Company in his capacity as an Officer.
            Executive's options (and/or restricted shares) under the Manhattan
            Associates Stock Option Plan shall continue to vest through March
            31, 2005 as reflected on the Optionee Statement of Company attached
            hereto. All vested stock options (and/or restricted shares) not
            exercised will expire April 30, 2005 pursuant to Manhattan
            Associates Stock Option Plan. Executive agrees to waive any further
            separation payments or any other rights relating to his employment
            agreement. This Agreement governs the terms by which Executive has
            and shall receive certain payments in return for a promise not to
            compete with the business of the Company pursuant to paragraph 3.

      2)    Release of Claims. For and in consideration of the promises,
            covenants, and warranties contained herein, and other good and
            valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby expressly
            acknowledged, on behalf of himself, his heirs, administrators,
            executors, successors and assigns, Executive does hereby release,
            remise, acquit and forever discharge Company and each of Company's
            successors, assigns, subsidiaries, affiliates, and parent

            had access to legal counsel of their choosing, and they acknowledge
            they fully understand the terms and conditions herein and agree to
            be bound and subject thereto. Executive's release hereunder does not

            Twelve (12) months from January 15, 2005 without written consent of
            Employer. Executive further agrees that he will not (without
            Company's prior written consent) recruit or hire, another Executive
            or employee of Employer for a period of Twelve (12) months from
            January 15, 2005 or cause or assist (without Company's prior written
            consent) another Executive or employee of Employer to be hired by
            any of the Fourteen (14) direct competitors to Company listed in
            Schedule A for a period of Twelve (12) months from January 15, 2005.

      4)    Effect of violations by Executive. Executive agrees and understands
            that any action by him in violation of this Agreement shall void
            Employer's payment to the Executive of all severance monies and
            benefits provided for herein and shall require immediate repayment
            by the Executive to Employer.

            Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable under applicable statute
            or rule of law, only that provision shall be deemed omitted from
            this Agreement, and only to the extent to which it is held invalid
            and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and
            effect.

      6)    Law and Enforcement. This Agreement shall be governed under the laws
