WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Corporation: HAHT COMMERCE, INC.
Number of Shares: 248,022
Class of Stock: Series E Preferred
Initial Exercise Price: See below
Issue Date: April 24, 2000
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT CHASE H&Q ("Holder") is entitled to purchase
the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Class of Stock (the
"Shares") of the corporation (the "Company") at the initial exercise price per
Share (the "Warrant Price") all as set forth herein and as adjusted pursuant to
Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Warrant. The Warrant Price shall be equal to $0.929
per share. This Warrant will be exerciseable until the earlier of: (a) five (5)
years from the date of issuance; (b) the effectiveness of the Company's initial
public offering; and (c) a "change in control" of the Company. A "change in
control" means the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
or the acquisition of the Company by means of consolidation or merger after
which the then current shareholders of the Company hold less than 50% of the
voting power of the surviving corporation; provided that a reincorporation of
the Company or a transaction in which the compensation received does not consist
of case or marketable securities shall not be a "change in control." The
Company shall give Holder at least 10 days advance written notice of the events
described in (b) or (c).
ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE.
1.1. Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by
------------------
delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached
as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is
exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also
deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares
being purchased.
1.2. Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified
----------------
in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or
in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair
market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair
market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be
determined pursuant to Section 1.4.
1.3. No Rights of Shareholder. This Warrant does not entitle Holder to
------------------------
any voting rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.
1.4. Fair Market Value. The Board of Directors of the Company shall
-----------------
determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment.
1.5. Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder
---------------------------------------
exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder
certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not
been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant
representing the Shares not so acquired shall be delivered to Holder.
1.6. Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably
-----------------------
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an
indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company
or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a
new warrant of like tenor.
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1. Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a
----------------------------
dividend on the Class of Stock payable in the Class of Stock or other
securities, or subdivides the outstanding Class of Stock into a greater amount
of the Class of Stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share
acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and
kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the
Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.
2.2. Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any
------------------------------------------
reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a
change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or
conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise
or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property
that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been
exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or
other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the
outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as
the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new
Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide
for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation,
adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property
issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions,
or other events.
2.3. Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are
---------------------------------
combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number
of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.
2.4. No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
-------------
Articles of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but
shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of
this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to protect Holder's rights under this Article against impairment.
2.5. Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upo
-----------------
n exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued
shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest
arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall
eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder amount computed by
multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
2.6. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the
-----------------------------
Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such
adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer
or other officers of the corporation setting forth such adjustment and the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request,
furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the
date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
3.1. Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and
------------------------------
warrants to the Holder that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of
the purchase right represented by this Warrant, and all securities, if any,
issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens
and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or
under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company shall at all
times reserve a sufficient number of Shares and of shares of common stock for
issuance upon Holder's exercise of its rights hereunder and conversion of the
Shares.
