Exhibit 10.7

LOAN AND SECURITY MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Loan and Security Modification Agreement is entered into as of February 11, 2016 by and between Bridgeline Digital, Inc. (“Borrower”) and Western Alliance Bank (“Bank”).

1.             DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS: Among other indebtedness which may be owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is indebted to Bank pursuant to, among other documents, a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 20, 2013 by and between Borrower and Bank, as may be amended from time to time (the “Loan and Security Agreement”). Capitalized terms used without definition herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Loan and Security Agreement.

1.     The following defined term set forth in Section 1.1 of the Loan and Security Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Revolving Line Maturity Date” means March 31, 2017.

4.            NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER/GENERAL Release. Borrower agrees that, as of this date, it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts under Loan Documents. Each of Borrower and its affiliates (each, a “Releasing Party”) acknowledges that Bank would not enter into this Loan and Security Modification Agreement without Releasing Party’s assurance that it has no claims against Bank or any of Bank’s officers, directors, employees or agents. Except for the obligations arising hereafter under this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, each Releasing Party releases Bank, and each of Bank’s and entity’s officers, directors and employees from any known or unknown claims that Releasing Party now has against Bank of any nature, including any claims that Releasing Party, its successors, counsel, and advisors may in the future discover they would have now had if they had known facts not now known to them, whether founded in contract, in tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, including but not limited to any claims arising out of or related to the Loan and Security Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. Releasing Party waives the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, which states:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

The provisions, waivers and releases set forth in this section are binding upon each Releasing Party and its shareholders, agents, employees, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions, waivers and releases of this section shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its agents, employees, officers, directors, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions of this section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations, full performance of all the terms of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and/or Bank’s actions to exercise any remedy available under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

5.             CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Loan Documents, Bank is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Loan Documents. Borrower represents and warrants that the representations and warranties contained in the Loan and Security Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, the terms of the Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank's agreement to modifications to the existing Loan Documents pursuant to this Loan and Security Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Loan and Security Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, but also to any subsequent loan and security modification agreements.

6.             CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; REFERENCE PROVISION. This Loan and Security Modification Agreement constitutes a “Loan Document” as defined and set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, and is subject to Sections 11 and 12 of the Loan and Security Agreement, which are incorporated by reference herein.

7.             NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT. BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND AGREES THAT: (A) THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS CONTAINED HEREIN, (B) THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND (C) THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF ANY PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR UNDERSTANDINGS OF THE PARTIES.

8.             CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:

(a)     payment of all Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement; and

(b)     such documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.
