                         POST CLOSING MATTERS AGREEMENT

                  THIS POST CLOSING MATTERS AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is
dated as of June 12, 2002 and is executed and delivered by PEREGRINE SYSTEMS,
INC., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and each of Parent's Subsidiaries
identified on the signature pages hereof (Parent and such Subsidiaries are
referred to hereinafter each individually as a "BORROWER", and individually and
collectively, jointly and severally, as the "BORROWERS"), and FOOTHILL CAPITAL
CORPORATION, a California corporation in its capacity as Agent on behalf of the
Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such
capacity, "AGENT") under that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of
June 12, 2002 (the "LOAN AGREEMENT") by and among Borrowers, Agent and the
Lenders from time to time a party thereto. All capitalized terms used but not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan
Agreement.

                  Reference is made to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement
dated as of October 29, 2001, by and among Parent, Existing Lender, and the
other lending institutions from time to time a party thereto (as the same may be
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT").

                  In consideration of the Advances, the Term Loan and additional
extensions of credit to be made by Agent and the Lenders as of and after the
date hereof in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other
documents and agreements contemplated thereby, and as an inducement to Agent and
the Lenders to make such Advances, such Term Loan and to extend such credit,
each Borrower agrees with Agent as follows:

                  1.       REQUIRED ACTIONS. The delivery of the documents set
forth on SCHEDULE A hereto and/or the taking of the actions set forth therein is
waived by Agent as a condition precedent to the making of the initial Advance,
the Term Loan or to otherwise extend credit under the Loan Agreement (to the
extent set forth in SECTION 3.1 thereof); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in addition to
the satisfaction of the conditions subsequent set forth in SECTION 3.2 of the
Loan Agreement, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent such documents and/or take such
actions in the manner, and within the respective periods, set forth in SCHEDULE
A hereto. If Borrowers shall fail to comply in any respect with such
requirements, each Borrower agrees that any such failure shall immediately
constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.

                  2.       BINDING ON SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, the Lender
Group, and their respective successors and assigns.

                  3.       SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of
this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

                  4.       GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
CONSTRUED UNDER AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS, AS OPPOSED
TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS, OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

                  5.       NO WAIVER. The waivers and consents contained in this
Agreement are limited to the specifics hereof, shall not apply with respect to
any facts or occurrences other than those on which the same are based, shall not
excuse future non-compliance with the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document,
and, except as expressly set forth herein, shall not operate as a waiver or an
amendment of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or the Lender Group, nor as
a consent to any further or other matter, under the Loan Documents. No waiver,
and no modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be
effective unless specifically made in writing and duly signed by the party
purportedly making such waiver.

                  6.       COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be delivered by
facsimile and executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which counterparts taken together shall
constitute but one and the same Agreement.

                  7.       TITLES. Paragraph and subparagraph titles, captions
and headings herein are inserted only as a mater of convenience and for
reference, and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this
Agreement or the intent of any provisions hereof.

                  8.       ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Each Borrower affirms and
acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a Loan Document under the Loan
Agreement and any reference to the Loan Documents under the Loan Agreement
contained in any notice, request, certificate or other document executed
concurrently with or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be
deemed to include this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise specify.
