Common Stock which the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon

Common Stock which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be
issuable upon exercise, as designated by the holder hereof pursuant to Section
3.1 hereof, by the fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Initial Warrant
Price and (b) the denominator is the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such
exercise. The "Warrant Price" shall initially be the Initial Warrant Price,
shall be adjusted and re-adjusted from time to time as provided in this Section
4 and, as so adjusted or re-adjusted, shall remain in effect until a further
adjustment or re-adjustment thereof is required by this Section 4.

pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or shall effect a

dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each case, subject to Section 4.4
hereof,
* Represents confidential information for
which Ariba, Incorporated is seeking confidential
treatment with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
-4-
the Warrant Price shall be reduced, concurrently with the dividend or
subdivision, to a price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price by a
fraction:
(a) the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
dividend or subdivision; and
(b) the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the
dividend or subdivision.
Additional shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued
and to be outstanding (a) in the case of any dividend, immediately after the
close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any
class of securities entitled to receive the dividend, or (b) in the case of any
subdivision, at the close of business on the day immediately prior to the day
upon which the corporate action becomes effective. Additional shares of Common
Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be deemed to
have been issued for no consideration.
4.3 ADJUSTMENTS FOR COMBINATIONS, ETC. In case the outstanding shares
of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or
otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to the combination or consolidation shall, concurrently
with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately
increased. Adjustment under this Section 4.3 shall become effective at the close
of business on the day immediately prior to the day upon which the corporate
action becomes effective.
4.4 MINIMUM ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE. If the amount of any
adjustment of the Warrant Price required pursuant to this Section 4 would be
less than one-tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect at
the time of the adjustment is otherwise so required to be made, the amount shall
be carried forward and adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and
together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with the amount and any
other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least one tenth
(1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price.
5. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OF ASSETS, REORGANIZATION, ETC.
In case the Company after the date hereof (a) shall consolidate with or merge
into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation
following the consolidation or merger, or (b) shall permit any other Person to
consolidate with or merge into the Company and the Company shall be the
continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with the consolidation or
merger, the Common Stock or Other Securities shall be changed into or exchanged
for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or any other property,
or (c) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to
any other Person, or (d) shall effect a capital reorganization or
reclassification of the Common Stock or Other Securities then, and in the case
of each such transaction, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis
and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the holder of this
Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of the
transaction, shall be entitled to receive (at the aggregate Warrant Price in
effect at the time of such consummation for

all Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon exercise immediately prior
to the comsummation), in lieu of the Common Stock or Other Securities
issuable upon exercise prior to the comsummation, the greatest amount of
securities, cash or other property to which the holder would actually have
been entitled as a stockholder upon such consummation if the holder had
exercised the rights represented by this Warrant (to the extent then
exercisable pursuant to Section 1) immediately prior thereto, subject to
adjustments (subsequent to the consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible
to the adjustments provided for in Sections 4 and 5 hereof.
6. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its
certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger,
reorganization, transfer of assets, 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 of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the terms and in the taking
of all actions necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the
holder of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of stock receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount payable therefor upon
exercise, (b) will take all actions necessary or appropriate in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares
of stock on the exercise of the Warrant and (c) will not take any action
which results in any adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable after the action upon
the exercise of the Warrant would exceed the total number of shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) then authorized by the Company's certificate of
incorporation and available for the purpose of issuance upon exercise.
7. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER'S REPORT AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In the case of any
adjustment or re-adjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its
expense will promptly compute the adjustment or re-adjustment in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant and, if requested by the holder, cause its
Chief Financial Officer to certify the computation (other than any
computation of the fair value of property as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company) and prepare a report setting forth the
adjustment or re-adjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of
calculation thereof and the facts upon which the adjustment or re-adjustment
is based, including a statement of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding and (b) the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to the deemed issuance or sale and as adjusted and
re-adjusted (if required by Section 4 hereof) on account thereof. The Company
will forthwith mail a copy of each report to each holder of a Warrant and
will, upon the written request at any time of any holder of a Warrant,
furnish to the holder a like report setting forth the Warrant Price at the
time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated. The
Company will also keep copies of all reports at its office maintained
pursuant to Section 12.2(a) hereof and will cause them to be available for
inspection at the office during normal business hours upon reasonable notice
by any holder of a Warrant or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant
designated by the holder thereof.

warrants, calculated using the treasury stock method. Other than the stock
dividend paid on December 17, 1999, from December 7, 1999 until the date

the benefits afforded to a holder of any Registrable Securities under the
Registration Agreement and such holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant,
agrees to be bound by and to comply with the terms and conditions of the

securities exchange, the Company will, at its expense, obtain promptly and

of any Other Securities that at any time are issued upon exercise of the
Warrants, if and at the time that any securities of the same class shall be
listed on a national securities exchange by the Company.

Section 10 upon the transferability of Restricted Securities shall cease and
terminate as to any particular Restricted Securities (a) which Restricted
Securities shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act,
or (b) when, in the opinions of both counsel for the holder thereof and
counsel for the Company, such restrictions are no longer required in order to
insure compliance with the Securities Act or Section 12 hereof. Whenever such
restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any Restricted Securities, the
holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense
(other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new securities of like tenor
not bearing the applicable legends required by Section 10.1 hereof.
