                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, WebXpress desires to grant to Licensee, and Licensee desires to
receive from WebXpress, a worldwide, non-exclusive license to integrate
WebXpress's proprietary software in object code format into Integrated Products
(as hereinafter defined), and to distribute such WebXpress software as
integrated into Integrated Products, all in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT

     For purposes of this Agreement the following terms shall have the meanings
set forth below.

common control with Licensee. For purposes of this definition, "control" or any
correlative form thereof, means the ownership of more than fifty percent of the
voting stock of such entity, or if such entity is not a corporation, the
ability to control the day-to-day operations and business of such entity.

     1.2  "DISTRIBUTOR" means an Affiliate, or third party distributor or
reseller, appointed by Licensee under the terms of this Agreement, who acquires
Integrated Products from Licensee solely for the purpose of distributing such
Integrated Products to End-Users, and not for such party's internal business
purposes. Any Distributor who seeks to make use of any Integrated Product for
its own internal business purposes must do so under the terms of an End-User
License Agreement.

     1.3  "DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT" means a written agreement between Licensee
and a Distributor, signed by both parties, covering the distribution by such

intellectual property rights, than the terms of this Agreement.

     1.4  "END-USER" means a person or entity who acquires Integrated Products
from Licensee or a Distributor for such person or entity's internal business
purposes, and not for sale, resale, lease or any other form of distribution to
third parties.

property rights in the WebXpress Software, than the terms of this Agreement.
Without limitation, an End-User License Agreement must contain terms consistent
with the applicable provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement.

7.   CONFIDENTIALITY.

     7.1  DEFINITION. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential
Information" of a party means information or materials disclosed or otherwise
provided by such party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving
Party") that are identified as confidential or proprietary. "Confidential
Information" does not include that which (i) was known to the Receiving Party,
without restriction and without duty of confidentiality, at the time of
disclosure, as evidenced by the written records of Receiving Party, (ii) is or
becomes part of public knowledge other than as



                                       7

<PAGE>   8
a result of any action or inaction of the Receiving Party, (iii) is obtained by
the Receiving Party from an unrelated third party without a duty of
confidentiality, or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party
without reliance upon or use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding
the exclusions hereinbefore set forth, "Confidential Information" includes both
parties software and any information relating to the development, design,
manufacture and specifications of either party's software.

     7.2  RESTRICTIONS ON USE AND DISCLOSURE.     The Receiving Party shall not
use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than
in furtherance of this Agreement and the activities described herein. The
Receiving Party shall not disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party to any third parties except as otherwise permitted hereunder. The
Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party
only to those employees, consultants or sub-Licensees who have a need to know
such Confidential Information and who are bound to retain the confidentiality
thereof under provisions (including, without limitation, provisions relating to
nonuse and nondisclosure) no less restrictive than those required by the
Receiving Party for its own comparable Confidential Information. The Receiving
Party shall maintain Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party with at
lease the same degree of care it uses to protect its own proprietary
information of a similar nature or sensitivity, but no less than reasonable
care under the circumstances. Any copies of the Disclosing Party's Confidential
Information shall be identified as belonging to the Disclosing Party and
prominently marked "Confidential."

     7.3  LEGAL OBLIGATION TO DISCLOSE.     This Agreement will not prevent the
Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party to the extent required by a judicial order or other legal obligation,
provided that, in such event, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the
Disclosing Party to allow intervention, and shall cooperate with the Disclosing
Party to contest or minimize the scope of the disclosure (including application
for a protective order). Each party shall advise the other party in writing of
any misappropriation or misuse of Confidential Information of the other party
of which the notifying party becomes aware.

     7.4  INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.     The parties acknowledge that the Confidential
Information are valuable trade secrets and that any unauthorized use or
disclosure of such information would cause WebXpress the Disclosing Party
irreparable harm for which its remedies at law would be inadequate.
Accordingly, the parties acknowledges and agrees that the Disclosing Party
shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or
in equity, to seek the issuance of injunctive or other equitable relief.

     7.5  RETURN OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.     Upon the expiration or earlier
term of this Agreement and upon request of the Disclosing Party, each party (as
Receiving Party) shall immediately return to the Disclosing Party all
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party embodied in tangible form, or
certify in writing to the Disclosing Party that all such Confidential
Information has been destroyed. The terms of this Section 7 shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5)
years.

                           SERVICE AND SUPPORT TERMS

WebXpress shall provide product support to Licensee to support its integration
of WebXpress Software into Licensee's applications. Support means that
WebXpress will provide: (a) software upgrades and product enhancements upon
their commercial release, and appropriate documentation with respect thereto,
and (b) technical assistance with respect to the WebXpress Software, including
(i) clarification of functions and features; (ii) clarification of
documentation; (iii) technical support and guidance in the operation of the
WebXpress Software; and (iv) WebXpress Software error analysis and correction.
Major product releases are not covered by the Service and Support contract, and
WebXpress retains the right to determine in its sole discretion if a release
constitutes an upgrade to an existing product or a new product release.
WebXpress will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide error corrections
or work-arounds for the most severe errors as soon as possible and based upon
WebXpress classification of the severity of the error.

Support shall be provided in compliance with Severity definitions and
Escalation guidelines as defined in Sections III and IV of this Schedule.

I.   Engineering Contacts -- Licensee will designate no more than 5 individuals
     who will be responsible for communicating and escalating support issues
     between the companies.

II.  Reporting Issues -- Licensee will report support requests via email or
     phone as convenient. Licensee agrees to provide WebXpress with all the
     necessary information to resolve the reported issue. This may include:
     issue classification, test cases for isolating and reproducing the issue
     and other issue documentation.

III. Phone coverage -- WebXpress's Support Center is staffed Monday through
     Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time. For off-hour emergencies,
     procedures can be customized to Licensee's specific needs upon mutual
     agreement.

IV.  Issue Definition --

     o    SEVERITY 1 -- Issue that impacts Licensee's application development
          schedule, or an End-User's production capability. A high severity
          issue is an error that causes a major feature of Licensee's product
          to be unusable or causes irreparable loss of data and no recovery or
          work-arounds are available.

     o    SEVERITY 2 -- Issue that results when a major feature is operational
          but unstable or unreliable. Such error would not stop development.

     o    SEVERITY 3 -- Enhancements or defects that are targeted for updates,
          but do not result in the loss of functionality in a major feature.

                               FIRST AMENDMENT TO
                         ISV SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

     This first amendment (this "First Amendment") is entered into as of 28th
October 1999, ("First Amendment Date") between WEBXPRESS, A BEA COMPANY
("WebXpress"), a Delaware corporation having a place of business at 550
California Street, 9th floor, San Francisco, California 94104 and CALICO
COMMERCE, INC. ("Licensee"), a Delaware corporation having a place of business
at 333 W. San Carlos Street, Suite 300, San Jose, California 95110.

                                    RECITALS

     A.   WebXpress and Licensee entered into an ISV Software License Agreement,
dated as of April 27, 1999 (the "ISV Agreement"). All capitalized terms used
herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in
the ISV Agreement.

     B.   In accordance with Section 9.12 of the ISV Agreement regarding
amendments to it, the parties now desire to further amend the ISV Agreement as
hereinafter provided.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises included herein and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

     1.   License to Reproduce and Distribute. The following sentence is
inserted after the first sentence of Section 2.1 of the ISV Agreement:

          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensee may
          also reproduce, use and distribute the WebXpress Software integrated
          into Integrated Products for purposes of marketing, demonstration,
          training and customer evaluation.

     2.   Royalty Fees. The last sentence of Section 3.1 of the ISV Agreement is
deleted.

     3.   Term. Section 6.1 of the ISV Agreement is deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

          This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall
          remain in effect for three years from the First Amendment Date unless
          the Agreement is terminated as provided below. Prior to the second
          anniversary of the First Amendment Date, Licensee may request that the
          parties negotiate pricing terms for the years starting on the fourth
          and fifth anniversary of the First Amendment Date, and if the parties
          agree on pricing terms, this Agreement shall continue in effect for an
          additional two years.

     4.   Prepayment and License Fees. The "Server Based Royalties" heading and
"Site License Royalties" heading of Section C.1 of the ISV Agreement are deleted
in their entirety and replaced by the following:

                                       1

<PAGE>   22


          PREPAYMENT AND LICENSE FEES:

          Based on Licensee's commitment to prepay $[***] in License Fees, due
          Net 30 from the First Amendment Date, Licensee may license the
          WebXpress Software listed in Schedule A according to the schedule
          below. This $[***] license fee prepayment is non-cancelable and
          non-refundable. For purposes of determining the appropriate License
          Fee, payment due, WebXpress will include in the cumulative total of
          License Fees paid the $[***] Commitment due under Section C.4 of the
          ISV Agreement, and also the $[***] in prepaid License Fees due under
          this First Amendment, for a total credit of $[***].

          Cumulative License Fees Paid License Fee (percent of Net Revenue)

           $[***] - $[***]              [*]%
           $[***] - $[***]              [*]%
           $[***] - $[***]              [*]%
           greater than $[***]          [*]%


          For purposes of this Agreement, "Net Revenues" shall mean all gross
          license revenues generated by the licensing of the Integrated Product,
          as determined when Licensee's customer is obligated to pay. In
          situations where revenue is recognized using the percentage of
          completion method for financial statement purposes, gross license
          revenues are determined when revenue is recognized. "Net Revenues" are
          further defined to mean gross license revenues generated by the
          licensing of the Integrated Product, net of channel discounts (which
          may be a discount off the list price for the Integrated Product or a
          referral fee, but not both) shipping and insurance, and exclusive of
          any applicable sales tax or equivalent. For example, if Licensee sells
          $100 worth of the Integrated Product to an end-user at a 10% discount
          off list (equal to a discounted license fee of $90) and pays a
          referral fee to a channel partner of 10% of the discounted license fee
          (equal to $9), Licensee's royalty to WebXpress will be based on a Net
          Revenue of $81.

          When Integrated Products are sold as a bundle with Licensee software
          that is not integrated with WebXpress Software, Licensee shall
          uniformly allocate discounts on such Integrated Products and other
          software, based on the comparison between the list prices of the
          Integrated Products and other Licensee software included in the
          transaction.

          There is no royalty associated with use of the WebXpress Software for
          marketing, demonstration, training and customer evaluation purposes.

     5.   Development License and Fees. WebXpress grants to Licensee a perpetual
(so long as Licensee is in compliance with this Agreement), non-exclusive,
non-transferable, fee-bearing, unlimited user license to use the Developer
Version of the WebLogic Server (the "DEVELOPER SOFTWARE") solely at Licensee
locations and solely for internal testing and development. Any third party
software products or modules supplied by WebXpress may be used solely with the
Developer Software. Licensee may not disclose the results of software
performance benchmarks to any third party without WebXpress's prior written
consent. Licensee may not use the Developer Software for production use and may
not offer it for resale. The Developer Software license fee

                                       2

<PAGE>   23
shall be $[***]. The annual Developer Software support fee for 5x12 support
shall be $[***] per year during the initial 3 year term and thereafter shall not
increase by more than 10% of the previous year's fee at any renewal for the
following two years.

     6.   Support Fees. The following sentence is added to Section C.2:

          Licensee may purchase 7x24 Extended Support for selected End Users for
          an annual Support Fee of [*]% of the License Fees due for licenses of
          the Integrated Product to such End Users.

     7.   Total Fees Due on First Amendment Date. Licensee shall pay to
WebXpress $[***] in prepaid License Fees, a $[***]Development License Fee, and
an initial $[***] Development Support Fee, for a total of $[***] due Net 30 from
the First Amendment Date. This $[***] payment is non-cancelable and
non-refundable.

     8.   Integrated Products. Schedule B of the ISV Agreement is amended to add
the following to the list of Integrated Products:

          eSales Configurator:

          Configurator is an expert system that matches customer requirements
          with product attributes, guiding customers to products and services
          that meet their needs.

          On written notice to WebXpress, Licensee may extend the terms of this
          ISV Agreement to include new or successor Licensee electronic commerce
          application software products.

     9.   Notices. In Section 9.5 of the ISV Agreement, the corporate name
"Calico Technology, Inc." is amended to be "Calico Commerce, Inc.", and the
corporate contact title is changed from "Director, Contract Operations" to
"Corporate Counsel."

     10.  Support. Schedule E of the ISV Agreement is amended to add the
following sections:

          VI.   International Support. Global support will be provided during
                local time in the place where the support call is made, and
                otherwise in accordance with the support terms in this Schedule
                E.

          VIII. Source Code Escrow. WebXpress shall add Licensee as a
                beneficiary to the WebXpress source code escrow agreement (the
                "Escrow Agreement") with an independent third party escrow agent
                in the business of providing escrow services (the "Escrow
                Agent"), which agreement shall provide that the Escrow Agent
                shall release WebXpress's source code to Licensee if any one of
                the following circumstances remains uncorrected for more than 30
                days:

                (i)  appointment of a trustee under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the
                United States Code;

                (ii) the making by WebXpress of a general assignment for the
