THIS AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into this 20th day of August, 2004, by and between SABA SOFTWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Bank”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings given them in the Loan Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

A. Borrower and Bank have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 31, 2003, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February 10, 2004, as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 25, 2004 (as may be further amended, restated, or otherwise modified, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Bank has agreed to extend and make available to Borrower certain advances of money.

B. Borrower desires that Bank amend the Loan Agreement upon the terms and conditions more fully set forth herein.

C. Subject to the representations and warranties of Borrower herein and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment, Bank is willing to so amend the Loan Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. AMENDMENTS TO LOAN AGREEMENT.

1.1 Section 2.1.1(a) (Revolving Advances). Section 2.1.1(a) is amended in its entirety by replacing the text thereof with the following:

(a) Bank will make Advances in an amount not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line minus the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), minus the FX Reserve, minus all amounts for services used under the Cash Management Services Sublimit. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement subject to the terms of Section 2.1.7.

1.2 Section 2.1.2 (Letters of Credit Sublimit). The first sentence of Section 2.1.2 is amended in its entirety by replacing the text thereof with the following:

Bank will issue Letters of Credit (each a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for Borrower’s account not exceeding the lesser of Three Million

Dollars ($3,000,000) or the Committed Revolving Line minus the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus the FX Reserve minus all amounts for services used under the Cash Management Services Sublimit; however, the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) may not exceed the Committed Revolving Line.

1.3 Section 2.1.3 (Foreign Exchange Sublimit). Section 2.1.3 is amended in its entirety by replacing the text thereof with the following:

If there is availability under the Committed Revolving Line, then Borrower may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one business day after the contract date (the “FX Forward Contract”). Bank will subtract 10% of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from the foreign exchange sublimit which is a maximum of the lesser of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) or the Committed Revolving Line minus the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) minus the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances minus all amounts for services used under the Cash Management Services Sublimit (the “FX Reserve”). The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten times the amount of the FX Reserve. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing.

1.4 The existing Sections 2.1.4, 2.1.5, and 2.1.6 shall be re-numbered as Sections 2.1.5, 2.1.6, and 2.1.8, respectively, and the following shall be added as Section 2.1.4 (Cash Management Services):

Borrower may use amounts up to the lesser of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) or the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), the FX Reserve, and the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances (the “Cash Management Services Sublimit”) for Bank’s Cash Management Services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in various cash management services agreements related to such services (the “Cash Management Services”). Such aggregate amounts utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit will at all times reduce the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the rate for Advances.

1.5 Section 2.1.7 (Equipment Facility 3). The following shall be inserted as Section 2.1.7:

2.1.7 Equipment Facility 3.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to lend to Borrower, from time to time prior to the Equipment Facility 3 Commitment Termination Date, equipment advances (each an “Equipment Facility 3 Advance” and

collectively the “Equipment Facility 3 Advances”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Committed Equipment Facility 3 Line. When repaid, the Equipment Facility 3 Advances may not be re-borrowed. The proceeds of the Equipment Facility 3 Advances will be used solely to reimburse Borrower for the purchase of (i) new Eligible Equipment Facility 3 Equipment purchased within 90 days of the Equipment Facility 3 Advance and (ii) used Eligible Equipment Facility 3 Equipment purchased within 180 days of the Equipment Facility 3 Advance; provided, however, that used Eligible Equipment Facility 3 Equipment purchased more than 90 days earlier, but not more than 180 days earlier, may be financed only with the first Equipment Facility 3 Advance. Bank’s obligation to lend hereunder shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) the Equipment Facility 3 Commitment Termination Date.

(b) To obtain an Equipment Facility 3 Advance, Borrower must notify Bank (the notice is irrevocable) by facsimile no later than 12:00 p.m. Pacific time 5 Business Days before the day on which the Equipment Facility 3 Advance is to be made. The notice in the form of Exhibit B (Payment/Advance Form) must be signed by a Responsible Officer or designee and include a copy of the invoice(s) for the Eligible Equipment Facility 3 Equipment being financed. Borrower shall also complete, execute, and deliver to Bank a Loan Supplement - Equipment Facility 3 Advances substantially in the form of Exhibit F on the Funding Date.

(c) If Borrower satisfies the conditions of each Equipment Facility 3 Advance specified in this Section 2.1.7, Bank will disburse such Equipment Facility 3 Advance by internal transfer to Borrower’s deposit account with Bank. Each Equipment Facility 3 Advance may not exceed (i) 100% of the Original Stated Cost for Equipment Facility 3 Advances for the financing of Eligible Equipment Facility 3 Equipment purchased within 90 days of the Equipment Facility 3 Advance and (ii) 75% of the Original Stated Cost for Equipment Facility 3 Advances for the financing of Eligible Equipment Facility 3 Equipment purchased more than 90 days but less than 180 days before the relevant Equipment Facility 3 Advance.

(d) Bank’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Committed Equipment Facility 3 Line 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 prospects of Borrower, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, 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 Equipment Facility 3 Commitment Termination Date.

1.6 Section 2.1.8 (Overadvances). Section 2.1.8 is amended in its entirety by replacing the text thereof with the following:

If Borrower’s Obligations under Sections 2.1.1(a), 2.1.2, 2.1.3, or 2.1.4 exceed the Committed Revolving Line, Borrower must immediately pay Bank the excess.

1.7 Section 2.2 (Interest Rate, Payments).

(a) The first sentence of Section 2.2(a) is amended in its entirety by replacing the text thereof with the following:

(b) Sections 2.2(b), 2.2(c), 2.2(d), 2.2(e), 2.2(f), 2.2(g), and 2.2(h) are hereby amended in their entirety by replacing the text thereof with the following:

(b) Equipment Advances, Equipment Facility 2 Advances Interest Rates, Equipment Facility 3 Interest Rates. Equipment Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate equal to the Option 2 Basic Rate. Equipment Facility 2 Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate equal to (at Borrower’s option) the Option 3 Basic Rate or the Option 4 Basic Rate. Equipment Facility 3 Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a per annum rate equal to (at Borrower’s option) the Option 5 Basic Rate or the Option 6 Basic Rate. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at 5 percentage points above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. The interest rate on the Option 3 Loans and Option 5 Loans increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. The interest rate on the Option 2 Loans and Option 4 Loans were, and Option 6 Loans will be, determined on the Funding Date and shall remain fixed for the life of such loan. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(c) Principal and Interest Payments On Payment Dates. Borrower will pay interest due on all Advances under the Committed Revolving Line on the first Business Day of each month. For Equipment Facility 2 Advances bearing the Option 3 Basic Rate (“Option 3 Loans”), and for Equipment Facility 3 Advances bearing the Option 5 Basic Rate (“Option 5 Loans”) or the Option 6 Basic Rate (“Option 6 Loans”), Borrower will make 36 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest for each Option 3 Loan, Option 5 Loan, or Option 6 Loan, as applicable, calculated (i) by multiplying the Option 3 Basic Rate by the outstanding Loan Amount for such Equipment Facility 2 Advances plus principal due as of such Payment Date or (ii) by multiplying the Option 5 Basic Rate or Option 6 Basic Rate, as applicable, by the outstanding Loan Amount for such Equipment Facility 3 Advances plus principal due as of such Payment Date. For Equipment Advances bearing interest at the Option 2 Basic Rate (the “Option 2 Loans”) and Equipment Facility 2 Advances bearing interest at the Option 4 Basic Rate (“Option 4 Loans”), Borrower will make payments monthly of principal in advance and accrued interest for each Option 2 Loan and Option 4 Loan, calculated by multiplying the applicable Loan Factor by the Loan Amount for such Equipment Advance or Equipment Facility 2 Advance, as applicable, as of such Payment Date (payments on the Option 2 Loans, the Option 3 Loans, the Option 4 Loans, the Option 5 Loans, and the Option 6 Loans are collectively referred to herein as “Scheduled Payments”).
