                           INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     This Agreement is made as of the _______ day of _____________ 2000, by and
between Click Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the
undersigned prospective [Officer/Director] of the Company, ___________________
(the "Indemnitee"), with reference to the following facts:

                                    Recitals
                                    --------

     The Indemnitee is willing, under certain circumstances, to serve as an
[Officer/Director] of the Company.  The Indemnitee has indicated that he does
not regard the indemnities available under the Company's Bylaws as adequate to
protect him against the risks associated with his service to the Company.  In
this connection, the Company and the Indemnitee now agree that they should enter
into this Indemnification Agreement in order to provide greater protection to
Indemnitee against such risks of service to the Company.

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, under
which Law the Company is organized, empowers corporations to indemnify a person
serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and a person
who serves at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other
enterprise, and said Section 145 and the Bylaws of the Company specify that the
indemnification set forth in said Section 145 and in the Bylaws, respectively,
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise.

                                   Agreement
                                   ---------

     In order to induce the Indemnitee to serve as a[n] [Officer/Director] of
the Company and in consideration of his continued service, the Company hereby
agrees, as of the date first set forth above, to indemnify the Indemnitee as
follows:

     1.   Indemnity.  The Company will indemnify the Indemnitee, his executors,
administrators or assigns, for any Expenses (as defined below) which the
Indemnitee is or becomes legally obligated to pay in connection with any
Proceeding.  As used in this Agreement the term "Proceeding" shall include any
threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether
brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative nature, in which the Indemnitee may be
or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the
Company, by reason of any actual or alleged error or misstatement or misleading
statement made or suffered by the Indemnitee, by reason of any action taken by
him or of any inaction on his part while acting as such director or officer, or
by reason of the fact that he was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; provided,
that in each such case Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, in addition had no
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.  As used in this
Agreement, the term "other enterprise" shall include

<PAGE>

(without limitation) employee benefit plans and administrative committees
thereof, and the term "fines" shall include (without limitation) any excise tax
assessed with respect to any employee benefit plan.

     2.   Expenses.  As used in this Agreement, the term "Expenses" shall
include (without limitation) damages, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements
and costs, attorneys' fees and disbursements and costs of attachment or similar
bonds, investigations, and any expenses of establishing a right to
indemnification under this Agreement.

     3.   Enforcement.  If a claim or request under this Agreement is not paid
by the Company, or on its behalf, within thirty days after a written claim or
request has been received by the Company, the Indemnitee may at any time
thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the
claim or request and if successful in whole or in part, the Indemnitee shall be
entitled to be paid also the Expenses of prosecuting such suit. The Company
shall have the right to recoup from the Indemnitee the amount of any item or
items of Expenses theretofore paid by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, to
the extent such Expenses are not reasonable in nature or amounts; provided,
however, that the Company shall have the burden of proving such Expenses to be
unreasonable. The burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification for any other reason shall be upon the Company.

     4.   Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Agreement, the
Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall
do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the
execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring
suit to enforce such rights.

     5.   Exclusions.  The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to
pay any Expenses in connection with any claim made against the Indemnitee:

          (a)  to the extent that payment is actually made to the Indemnitee
under a valid, enforceable and collectible insurance policy;

          (b)  to the extent that the Indemnitee is indemnified and actually
paid otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement;

          (c)  in connection with a judicial action by or in the right of the
Company, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee
shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that any
court in which such action was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses as such court shall deem proper;

          (d)  if it is proved by final judgment in a court of law or other
final adjudication to have been based upon or attributable to the Indemnitee's
in fact having gained any personal profit or advantage to which he was not
legally entitled;

                                       2
<PAGE>

          (e)  for a disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and sale by
the Indemnitee of securities pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any state
statutory law or common law;

          (f)  brought about or contributed to by the dishonesty of the
Indemnitee seeking payment hereunder; however, notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Indemnitee shall be protected under this Agreement as to any claims upon
which suit may be brought against him by reason of any alleged dishonesty on his
part, unless a judgment or other final adjudication thereof adverse to the
Indemnitee shall establish that he committed (i) acts of active and deliberate
dishonesty, (ii) with actual dishonest purpose and intent, (iii) which acts were
material to the cause of action so adjudicated; or

          (g)  for any judgment, fine or penalty which the Company is prohibited
by applicable law from paying as indemnity or for any other reason.

     6.   Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party.  Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against any and all Expenses incurred in
connection therewith.

     7.   Partial Indemnification.  If the Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company
shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to
which the Indemnitee is entitled.

     8.   Advance of Expenses.  Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in
connection with any Proceeding, except the amount of any settlement, shall be
paid by the Company in advance upon request of the Indemnitee that the Company
pay such Expenses. The Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay to the Company the
amount of any Expenses theretofore paid by the Company to the extent that it is
ultimately determined that such Expenses were not reasonable or that the
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

     9.   Approval of Expenses.  No Expenses for which indemnity shall be sought
under this Agreement, other than those in respect of judgments and verdicts
actually rendered, shall be incurred without the prior consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     10.  Notice of Claim.  The Indemnitee, as a condition precedent to his
right to be indemnified under this Agreement, shall give to the Company notice
in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against him for which
indemnity will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Company
shall be given at its principal office and shall be directed to the Corporate
Secretary (or such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to
the Indemnitee); notice shall be deemed received if sent by prepaid mail
properly addressed, the date of such notice being the date postmarked. In
addition, the Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation
as it may reasonably require and as shall be within the Indemnitee's power.

                                       3

     11.  Exception to Right of Indemnification.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding brought by
the Indemnitee, or any claim thereon, unless (a) the bringing of such Proceeding
or making of such claim shall have been approved by the Board of Directors of
the Company or (b) such Proceeding is being brought by the Indemnitee to assert,
interpret or enforce the Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement.

     12.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.

     13.  Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive.  Nothing herein shall be
deemed to diminish or otherwise restrict the Indemnitee's right to
indemnification under any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws of the Company and amendments thereto or under law.

     14.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with Delaware law, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions
thereof.

     15.  Saving Clause.  Wherever there is conflict between any provision of
this Agreement and any applicable present or future statute, law or regulation
contrary to which the Company and the Indemnitee have no legal right to
contract, the latter shall prevail, but in such event the affected provisions of
this Agreement shall be curtailed and restricted only to the extent necessary to
bring them within applicable legal requirements.

     16.  Coverage.  The provisions of this Agreement shall apply with respect
to the Indemnitee's service as a prospective [Officer/Director] of the Company
prior to the date of this Agreement and with respect to all periods of such
service after the date of this Agreement, even though the Indemnitee may have
ceased to be a[n] [Officer/Director] of the Company.

$1,000,000.00

                                              Chicago, Illinois   March 25, 1999
                                                            Due   March 25, 2000

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (jointly and severally if more
than one) ("Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK
AND TRUST COMPANY OF CHICAGO ("Bank"), at its principal place of business in
Chicago, Illinois or such other place as Bank may designate from time to time
hereafter, the principal sum of ONE MILLION AND NO/00 DOLLARS, or such lesser
principal sum as may then be owed by Borrower to Bank hereunder, which sum shall
be due and payable on March 25, 2000.

          Borrower's obligations and liabilities to Bank under this Note, and
all other obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Bank (including without
limitation all debts, claims and indebtedness) whether primary, secondary,
direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise, including those evidenced in rate
hedging agreements designed to protect the Borrower from the fluctuation of
interest rates, heretofore, now and/or from time to time hereafter owing, due or
payable, however evidenced, created, incurred, acquired or owing and however
arising, whether under this Note, any agreement, instrument or document
heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter executed and delivered to Bank by
or on behalf of Borrower, or by oral agreement or operation of law or otherwise
shall be defined and referred to herein as "Borrower's Liabilities."

          The unpaid principal balance of Borrower's Liabilities due hereunder
shall bear interest from the date of disbursement until paid, computed at a
daily rate equal to the daily rate equivalent of 0.0% per annum (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed) in excess of the rate of
interest announced or published publicly from time to time by Bank as its prime
or base rate of interest (the "Base Rate"), provided, however, that in the event
                                            --------  -------
that any of Borrower's Liabilities are not paid when due, the unpaid amount of
Borrower's Liabilities shall bear interest after the due date until paid at a
rate equal to the sum of the rate that would otherwise be in effect plus 3 %.

          The rate of interest to be charged by Bank to Borrower shall fluctuate
hereafter from time to time concurrently with, and in an amount equal to, each
increase or decrease in the Base Rate, whichever is applicable.

          Accrued interest shall be payable by Borrower to Bank on the same day
of each month, and at maturity, commencing with the 25th day of April, 1999, or
as billed by Bank to Borrower, it Bank's principal place of business, or at such
other place as Bank may designate from time to time hereafter.  After maturity,
accrued interest on all of Borrower's Liabilities shall be payable on demand.
<PAGE>

          Borrower warrants and represents to Bank that Borrower shall use the
proceeds represented by this Note solely for proper business purposes and
consistently with all applicable laws and statutes.

          To secure the prompt payment to Bank of Borrower's Liabilities and the
prompt, full and faithful performance by Borrower of all of the provisions to be
kept, observed or performed by Borrower under this Note and/or any other
agreement, instrument or document heretofore, now and/or from time to time
hereafter delivered by or on behalf of Borrower to Bank, Borrower grants to Bank
a security interest in and to the following property: (a) all of Borrower's now
existing and/or owned and hereafter arising or acquired monies, reserves,
deposits, deposit accounts and interest or dividends thereon, securities, cash,
cash equivalents and other property now or at any time or times hereafter in the
possession or under the control of Bank or its bailee for any purpose; (b)
certain business assets of CLICK INTERACTIVE, INC., a Delaware corporation,
pursuant to Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith, as amended from
time to time, by and between Borrower and Bank; and (c) all substitutions,
renewals, improvements, accessions or additions thereto, replacements,
offspring, rents, issues, profits, returns, products and proceeds thereof,
including without limitation proceeds of insurance policies insuring the
foregoing collateral (all of the foregoing property is referred to herein
individually and collectively as "Collateral").

          Regardless of the adequacy of the Collateral, any deposits or other
sums at any time credited by or payable or due from Bank to Borrower, or any
monies, cash, cash equivalents, securities, instruments, documents or other
assets of Borrower in the possession or control of Bank or its bailee for any
purpose, may be reduced to cash and applied by Bank to or setoff by Bank against
Borrower's Liabilities.

          Borrower shall execute and deliver to Bank, at any time upon Bank's
demand, all agreements, instruments, documents and other written matter that
Bank may request, in form and substance acceptable to Bank, to perfect and
maintain perfected Bank's security interest in the Collateral.  Borrower agrees
that a carbon, photographic or photostatic copy, or other reproduction, of this
Note or of any financing statement, shall be sufficient as a financing
statement.

          Bank may take, and Borrower hereby waives notice of, any action from
time to time that Bank may deem necessary or appropriate to maintain or protect
the Collateral, and Bank's security interest therein, and in particular Bank may
at any time (i) transfer the whole or any part of the Collateral into the name
of the Bank or its nominee, (ii) collect any amounts due on Collateral directly
from persons obligated thereon, (iii) take control of any proceeds and products
of Collateral, and/or (iv) sue or make any compromise or settlement with respect
to any Collateral.  Borrower hereby releases Bank from any and all causes of
action or claims which Borrower may now or hereafter have for any asserted loss
or damage to Borrower claimed to be caused by or arising from: (a) Bank's taking
any action permitted by this paragraph; (b) any failure of Bank to protect,
enforce or collect in whole or in part any of the Collateral; and/or (c) any
other act or omission to act on the part of Bank, its officers, agents or
employees, except for willful misconduct.

                                       2

          The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute a
default by the Borrower ("Event of Default") under this Note: (a) if Borrower
fails to pay any of Borrower's Liabilities when due and payable or declared due
and payable (whether by scheduled maturity, required payment, acceleration,
demand or otherwise); (b) if Borrower or any guarantor of any of Borrower's
Liabilities fails or neglects to perform, keep or observe any term, provision,
condition, covenant, warranty or representation contained in this Note; (c)
occurrence of a default or event of default under any agreement, instrument or
document heretofore, now or at any time hereafter delivered by or on behalf of
Borrower to Bank; (d) occurrence of a default or an event of default under any
agreement, instrument or document heretofore, now or at any time hereafter
delivered to Bank by any guarantor of Borrower's liabilities or by any person or
entity which has granted to Bank a security interest or lien in and to some or
all of such person's or entity's real or personal property to secure the payment
of Borrower's Liabilities; (e) if the Collateral or any other of Borrower's
assets are attached, seized, subjected to a writ, or are levied upon or become
subject to any lien or come within the possession of any receiver, trustee,
custodian or assignee for the benefit of creditors; (f) if a notice of lien,
levy or assessment is filed of record or given to Borrower with respect to all
or any of Borrower's assets by any federal, state or local department or agency;
(g) if Borrower or any guarantor of Borrower's Liabilities becomes insolvent or
generally fails to pay or admits in writing its inability to pay debts as they
become due, if a petition under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
similar law or regulation is filed by or against Borrower or any such guarantor,
if Borrower or any such guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, if any case or proceeding is filed by or against Borrower or any such
guarantor for its dissolution or liquidation, or if Borrower or any such
guarantor is enjoined, restrained or in any way prevented by court order from
conducting all or any material part of its business affairs; (h) the death or
incompetency of Borrower or any guarantor of Borrower's Liabilities, or the
appointment of a conservator for all or any portion of Borrower's assets or the
Collateral; (i) the revocation, termination or cancellation of any guaranty of
Borrower's Liabilities without written consent of Bank; (j) if a contribution
failure occurs with respect to any pension plan maintained by Borrower or any
corporation, trade or business that is, along with Borrower, a member of a
controlled group of corporations or a controlled group of trades or businesses
(as described in Sections 414(b) and (c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or
Section 4001 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
"ERISA") sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 302(f) of ERISA; (k) if
Borrower or any guarantor of Borrower's Liabilities is in default in the payment
of any obligations, indebtedness or other liabilities to any third party and
such default is declared and is not cured within the time, if any, specified
therefor in any agreement governing the same; (l) if any material statement,
report or certificate made or delivered by Borrower, any of Borrower's partners,
officers, employees or agents or any guarantor of Borrower's Liabilities is not
true and correct; or (m) if Bank is reasonably insecure.

          Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Bank's option, without
notice by Bank to or demand by Bank of Borrower: (i) all of Borrower's
Liabilities shall be immediately due and payable; (ii) Bank may exercise any one
or more of the rights and remedies accruing to a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the relevant jurisdiction and any other applicable law upon
default by a debtor; (iii) Bank may enter, with or without process of law and
without breach of the peace, any premises where the Collateral is or may be
located, and may seize or

                                       3
<PAGE>

remove the Collateral from said premises and/or remain upon said premises and
use the same for the purpose of collecting, preparing and disposing of the
Collateral; and/or (iv) Bank may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral at
public or private sale for cash or credit, provided, however, that Borrower
shall be credited with the net proceeds of any such sale on)) when the same are
actually received by Bank.

          Upon an Event of Default, Borrower, immediately upon demand by Bank,
shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Bank at a place or places
to be designated by Bank which is reasonably convenient to Bank and Borrower.

          All of Bank's rights and remedies under this Note are cumulative and
non-exclusive.  The acceptance by Bank of any partial payment made hereunder
after the time when any of Borrower's Liabilities become due and payable will
not establish a custom or waive any rights of Bank to enforce prompt payment
hereof.  Bank's failure to require strict performance by Borrower of any
provision of this Note shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Bank
thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.  Any waiver of
an Event of Default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event
of Default hereunder.  Borrower and every endorser waive presentment, demand and
protest and notice of presentment, protest, default, non-payment, maturity,
release compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of this Note, and hereby
ratify and confirm whatever Bank may do in this regard.  Borrower further waives
any and all notice or demand to which Borrower might be entitled with respect to
this Note by virtue of any applicable statute or law (to the extent permitted by
law).

          Borrower agrees to pay, immediately upon demand by Bank, any and all
costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and
expenses) incurred by Bank (i) in enforcing any of Bank's rights hereunder, and
(ii) in representing Bank in any litigation, contest, suit or dispute, or to
commence, defend or intervene or to take any action with respect to any
litigation, contest, suit or dispute (whether instituted by Bank, Borrower or
any other person) in any way relating to this Note, Borrower's Liabilities or
the Collateral, and to the extent not paid the same shall become part of
Borrower's Liabilities.

          This Note shall be deemed to have been submitted by Borrower to Bank
and to have been made at Bank's principal place of business.  This Note shall be
governed and controlled by the internal laws of the State of Illinois and not
the law of conflicts.

          Advances under this Note may be made by Bank upon oral or written
request of any person authorized to make such requests on behalf of Borrower
("Authorized Person").  Borrower agrees that Bank may act on requests which Bank
in good faith believes to be made by an Authorized Person, regardless of whether
such requests are in fact made by an Authorized Person.  Any such advance shall
be conclusively presumed to have been made by Bank to or for the benefit of
Borrower.  Borrower does hereby irrevocably confirm, ratify and approve all such
advances by Bank and agrees to indemnify Bank against any and all losses and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and shall hold Bank harmless
with respect thereto.

          TO INDUCE BANK TO ACCEPT THIS NOTE, BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT,
SUBJECT TO BANK'S SOLE AND ABSOLUTE ELECTION, ALL

                                       4
<PAGE>

ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS IN ANY WAY, MANNER OR RESPECT, ARISING OUT OF OR FROM OR
RELATED TO THIS NOTE SHALL BE LITIGATED IN COURTS HAVING SITUS WITHIN THE CITY
OF CHICAGO, STATE OF ILLINOIS. BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN SAID CITY AND
STATE. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRANSFER OR CHANGE THE
VENUE OF ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT AGAINST BORROWER BY BANK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS
PARAGRAPH.

          BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
SUIT, COUNTERCLAIM OR PROCEEDING (I) TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT
DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR
(II) ARISING FROM ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED TO
THIS NOTE OR ANY SUCH AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT, AND AGREES
THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT, COUNTERCLAIM OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A
