This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of the Effective Date between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California chartered bank ("Bank"), with its principal place of business at 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054, and with a loan production office located at 9020 Capital of Texas Highway, North, Building 1, Suite 350, Austin, Texas, 78759 and PERFICIENT, INC. and PERFICIENT CANADA, INC., jointly and severally (collectively, the "Borrower"), each with its principal place of business at the location set forth on the Cover Page of this Agreement, provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:

1      ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS.

        Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term "financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. The terms "including" and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without limitation" in this or any Loan Document.

2      LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

        2.1    Promise to Pay.    Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

            2.1.1    Revolving Advances.    

            (a)   Bank will make Advances not exceeding (i) the lesser of (A) the Committed Revolving Line or (B) the Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

            (b)   To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 3:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B (a "Payment/Advance Form"). Bank will credit Advances to Borrower's deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.

            (c)   The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.

            (d)   Bank's obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations will terminate if, in Bank's sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the execution of this Agreement.

            2.1.2    Letters of Credit.    

            (a)   Bank has issued, as set forth on Schedule 2.1.2, and may in the future issue letters of credit (each a "Letter of Credit" and collectively, the "Letters of Credit") for Borrower's account not exceeding (i) the lesser of the Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base minus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances; however the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) may not

1



    exceed $750,000. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than 180 days after the Revolving Maturity Date but Borrower's reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.

            (b)   Pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated June 30, 2000, as amended from time to time, Bank has issued the Letters of Credit identified on Schedule 2.1.2, attached hereto, for the be.nefit of Borrower (the "Outstanding Letters of Credit"). The outstanding Letters of Credit shall be governed by this Agreement.

        2.2    Overadvances.    If Borrower's Obligations under Section 2.1.1and 2.1.2 exceed the lesser of either (a) the Committed Revolving Line or (b) the Borrowing Base, Borrower must immediately pay in cash to Bank the excess.

        2.3    Interest Rate; Payments.    

            2.3.1    In General.    

            (a)    Spreading of Interest.    Due to irregular periodic balances of principal, the variable nature of the interest rate, or prepayment, the total interest that will accrue under this Agreement cannot be determined in advance. Bank does not intend to contract for, charge or receive more than the Maximum Lawful Rate or Maximum Lawful Amount permitted by applicable state or federal law, and to prevent such an occurrence Bank and Borrower agree that all amounts of interest, whenever contracted for, charged or received by Bank, with respect to the Obligations, will be spread, prorated or allocated over the full period of time the Obligations are outstanding, including the period of any renewal or extension thereof. If the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated for any reason whether as a result of an Event of Default or otherwise prior to the full stated term, the total amount of interest contracted for, charged or received to the time of such demand shall be spread, prorated or allocated along with any interest thereafter accruing over the full period of time that the Obligations thereafter remain unpaid for the purpose of determining if such interest exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount.

            (b)    Excess Interest.    At maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or on earlier final payment of the Obligations, Bank will compute the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged or received by Bank or payable by Borrower hereunder and compare such amount to the Maximum Lawful Amount that could have been contracted for, charged or received by Bank. If such computation reflects that the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged or received by Bank or payable by Borrower exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount, then Bank shall apply such excess to the reduction of the principal balance, and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrower. This provision concerning the crediting or refund of excess interest shall control and take precedence over all other agreements between Borrower and Bank so that under no circumstances shall the total interest contracted for, charged or received by Bank exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount.

            (c)    Computation of Interest; Default Rate.    Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Bank will not compute the interest in a manner that would cause Bank to contract for, charge or receive interest that would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate or the Maximum Lawful Amount. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate. The Default Interest Rate is the least of (i) the Maximum Lawful Rate, if the Maximum Lawful rate is established by applicable law, or (ii) the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default plus 5 percentage points, if no Maximum Lawful Rate law has been established by applicable law; or (iii) 18% per annum; or

2



    (iv) such lesser rate of interest as Bank in its sole discretion may choose to charge; but in no event more than the Maximum Lawful Rate.

            (d)    Request to Debit Accounts.    Bank may debit any of Borrower's deposit accounts including Account Number 3300402717 for principal and interest payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will notify Borrower when it debits Borrower's accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

            2.3.2    Committed Revolving Line.    

            (a)    Interest Rate.    Advances under the Committed Revolving Line accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof at a per annum rate 1.0 percentage points (1.0%) above the Prime Rate. The interest rate on the Committed Revolving Line increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes.

            (b)    Payments.    Interest on the Committed Revolving Line is payable on the first day of each month. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue.

        2.4    Fees.    Borrower will pay to Bank:

            (a)    Facility Fee.    A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee in the amount of $9,000, due on the date that Borrower executes and delivers this Agreement to Bank;

            (b)    Bank Expenses.    All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred through and after the Effective Date when due; and

            (c)    Usage Fee.    A usage fee, payable in arrears within 15 days of the end of each calendar quarter, in an amount equal to the product of .12% times the per annum average Unused Balance. The term "Unused Balance" shall mean the result of (i) the Committed Revolving Line minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all Advances, and minus (iii) the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit).

        2.5    Additional Costs.    If any law or regulation increases Bank's costs or reduces its income for any loan, Borrower will pay the increase in cost or reduction in income or additional expense.

3      CONDITIONS OF LOANS.

        3.1    Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension.    Bank's obligation to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that it receive the agreements, documents and fees it requires, including a Consent of Landlord from the landlord of each Borrower in the form attached as Exhibit E or such other form as may be approved by Bank.

        3.2    Conditions Precedent to all Credit Extensions.    Bank's obligations to make each Credit Extension, including the initial Credit Extension, is subject to the following:

            (a)   timely receipt of any Payment/Advance Form, as applicable; and

            (b)   the representations and warranties in Section 5 must be materially true on the date of the Payment/Advance Form, as applicable and on the effective date of each Credit Extension and no Event of Default may have occurred and be continuing, or result from the Credit Extension. Each Credit Extension is Borrower's representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties in Section 5 remain true.

4      CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

        4.1    Grant of Security Interest.    Borrower grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and performance of each of Borrower's duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Bank may place a "hold" on any deposit account pledged as Collateral. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank's lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations.

        4.2    Authorization to File.    Borrower authorizes Bank to file financing statements without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in order to perfect or protect Bank's interest in the Collateral.

5    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.    Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

        5.1    Due Organization and Authorization.    Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified.

        The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could cause a Material Adverse Change.

        5.2    Collateral.    Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens or Borrower has Rights to each asset that is Collateral. Borrower has no other deposit account, other than the deposit accounts described in the Schedule. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations, and the service or property has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or its agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the account debtor. The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse). In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral to such a bailee, then Borrower will receive the prior written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. Borrower has no notice of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose accounts are an Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each Patent is valid and enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

        5.3    Litigation.    Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's Responsible Officers, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

        5.4    No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.    All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary, delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower's consolidated financial condition and Borrower's consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower's consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.

4



        5.5    Solvency.    The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; the Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

Borrower has complied with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower's or any Subsidiary's properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally.

        5.7    Subsidiaries.    Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

        5.8    Full Disclosure.    No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading.

At Bank's request, Borrower will deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option of applying the proceeds of any casualty policy to the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds payable under any such casualty policy shall, at the option of Bank, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.

        8.1    Payment Default.    If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations within 3 days after their due date. During the additional period the failure to cure the default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made during the cure period);

        8.2    Covenant Default.    If Borrower (a) does not perform any obligation in Article 6 or violates any covenant in Article 7 (for which failures or violations there are no grace or cure periods) or (b) does not perform or observe any other material term, condition or covenant in this Agreement, any Loan Documents, or in any agreement between Borrower and Bank and as to any default under a term, condition or covenant that can be cured, has not cured the default within 10 days after it occurs, or if the default cannot be cured within 10 days or cannot be cured after Borrower's attempts in the 10 day period, and the default may be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower has an additional period, (of not more than 30 days) to attempt to cure the default. During the additional period the failure to cure the default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made during the cure period);

        8.3    Material Adverse Change.    

            (a)   A material impairment in the perfection or priority of the Bank's security interest in the Collateral or in the value of such Collateral which is not covered by adequate insurance occurs; (b) a material adverse change in the business, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower occurs; or (c) a material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the Obligations occurs (a "Material Adverse Change");

        8.5    Insolvency.    (a) if Borrower becomes insolvent; (b) if Borrower begins an Insolvency Proceeding; or (c) an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and not dismissed or stayed within 30 days (but no Credit Extensions will be made before any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);

9      BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

        9.1    Rights and Remedies.    When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

            (a)   Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

            (b)   Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

            (c)   Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;

            (d)   Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies;

            (e)   Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

            (f)    Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower's labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank's benefit; and

            (g)   Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

            (h)   Transfer this Agreement and all of Borrower's Obligations hereunder to Bank's Specialty Finance Division, at which time Borrower agrees, if Bank shall so require, to amend and restate the terms of this Agreement on documents provided by Bank's Specialty Finance Division.

        9.2    Power of Attorney.    Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (a) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (c) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's insurance policies; (d) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (e) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign

9


Borrower's name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank's appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

        9.3    Accounts Collection.    When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

        9.4    Bank Expenses.    If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.

        9.5    Bank's Liability for Collateral.    If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices, it is not liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

        9.6    Remedies Cumulative.    Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

        9.7    Demand Waiver.    Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guaranties held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

10    NOTICES AND WAIVERS.

        10.1    Notices.    Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to Borrower or to Bank, as the case may be, at its addresses set above.

        10.2    Subrogation and Similar Rights.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other document related to this Agreement, until payment to Bank in full and performance of all Obligations, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Borrower to the rights of Bank under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other entity now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the

10



Obligations as a result of any payment made by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 10.2 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 10.2, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

        10.3    Waivers of Notice.    Each Borrower waives notice of acceptance hereof; notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any of the Obligations; notice of an Event of Default; notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time; notice of intent to accelerate; notice of acceleration; notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase the Borrower's risk; presentment for payment; demand; protest and notice thereof as to any instrument; default; and all other notices and demands to which the Borrower would otherwise be entitled. Each Borrower waives any defense arising from any defense of any other Borrower, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower. Bank's failure at any time to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Bank from foreclosing on the lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or other security instrument, or exercising any rights available thereunder, and the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower. Each Borrower also waives any defense arising from any act or omission of Bank that changes the scope of the Borrower's risks hereunder. Each Borrower hereby waives any right to assert against Bank any defense (legal or equitable), setoff, counterclaim, or claims that such Borrower individually may now or hereafter have against another Borrower or any other entity liable to Borrower with respect to the Obligations in any manner or whatsoever until the Obligations are paid in full to Bank.

        10.4    Subrogation Defenses.    Each Borrower waives the benefits, if any, of any statutory or common law rule that may permit a borrower to assert any defenses of a surety or guarantor, or that may give a borrower the right to require a senior creditor to marshal assets, and Borrower agrees that it shall not assert any such defenses or rights.

        10.5    Right to Settle, Release.    

            (a)   The liability of Borrower hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement, understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be guaranteed by another entity or secured by other property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or total, or rights, if any, which Borrower may now or hereafter have against any other entity, including another Borrower, or property with respect to any of the Obligations.

            (b)   Without notice to any Borrower and without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, Bank may (i) compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any of the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to a Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents, relating to the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (iv) release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations, whether pledged by a Borrower or any other entity, or (v) compromise, settle renew, or extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any obligations of any guarantor, endorser or other entity who is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of the Obligations.
