To Purchase Shares of the Series E Preferred Stock of

Dated as of January 7, 1999 (the "Effective Date")
WHEREAS, CrossWorlds Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company")
has entered into a Subordinated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of January
7, 1999, and related Subordinated Promissory Note(s) (collectively, the "Loans")
with Comdisco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Warrantholder"); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Warrantholder, in consideration
for such Loans, the right to purchase shares of its Series E Preferred Stock;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Warrantholder executing and
delivering such Loans and in consideration of mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, the Company and Warrantholder agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE PREFERRED STOCK.
----------------------------------------------
The Company hereby grants to the Warrantholder, and the Warrantholder is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to
subscribe to and purchase, from the Company, 350,000 fully paid and non-
assessable shares of the Company's Series E Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock")

Preferred Stock financing occurs at a valuation lower than that reflected in the
Exercise Price above, the Exercise price shall be adjusted to reflect the lower
number. The number and purchase price of such shares are ~ subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 8 hereof.
2. TERM OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT.
-----------------------------
Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Warrant Agreement
and the right to purchase Preferred Stock as granted herein shall commence on
the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period of (i) seven (7) years
from the date hereof or (ii) three (3) years from the effective date of the
Company's initial public offering, whichever is shorter.
3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.
-------------------------------
The purchase rights set forth in this Warrant Agreement are exercisable by
the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time after
the issuance and sale of any Series E Preferred Stock by the Company and, prior
to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2 above, by tendering to the
Company at its principal office a notice of exercise the form attached hereto as
Exhibit I (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly completed and executed. Promptly
upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the purchase price in
accordance with
-1-
the terms set forth below, and in no event later than twenty-one (21) days
thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a certificate for the
number of shares of Preferred Stock purchased and shall execute the
acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the
"Acknowledgment of Exercise") indicating the number of shares which remain
subject to future purchases, if any.
The Exercise Price may be paid at the Warrantholder's election either (i)
by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of Warrants ("Net Issuance") as
determined below. If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the
Company will issue Preferred Stock in accordance with the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
-----
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the
Warrantholder.
Y = the number of shares of Preferred Stock requested to be
exercised under this Warrant Agreement.
A = the fair market value of one (1) share of Preferred Stock.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of
Preferred Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Preferred Stock:
(i) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public offering
of the Company's Common Stock, and if the Company's Registration Statement
relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the SEC,
then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x) the
initial "Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with respect to
the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each
share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;
(ii) if this Warrant is exercised after, and not in connection with
the Company's initial public offering, and:
(a) if traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value
shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the closing
prices over a twenty-one (21) day period ending three days before the
day the current fair market value of the securities is being
determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which
each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such
exercise; or
(b) if actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value
shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the closing
bid and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar system)
over the twenty-one (21) day period ending three days before the day
the current fair market value of the securities is being determined
and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of
Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;
(iii) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any securities
exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter market, the
current fair market value of Preferred Stock shall be the product of (x)
the highest price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing
buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold
by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good
faith by its Board of Directors and (y) the number of shares of Common
Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time
of such exercise, unless the Company shall become subject to a merger,
acquisition or other consolidation pursuant to which the
-2-
Company is not the surviving party, in which case the fair market value of
Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the value received by the holders of
the Company's Preferred Stock on a common equivalent basis pursuant to such
merger or acquisition.
Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company shall
promptly issue an amended Warrant Agreement representing the remaining number of
shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended
Warrant Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but
not limited to the Effective Date hereof.
4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
---------------------
(a) Authorization and Reservation of Shares. During the term of this
---------------------------------------
Warrant Agreement, the Company will authorize and reserve a sufficient number of
shares of its Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights to
purchase Preferred Stock as provided for herein.
(b) Registration or Listing. If any shares of Preferred Stock
-----------------------
required to be reserved hereunder require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority under any Federal or State law (other than any
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), as then
in effect, or any similar Federal statute then enforced, or any state securities
law, required by reason of any transfer involved in such conversion), or listing
on any domestic securities exchange, before such shares may be issued upon
conversion, the Company will, at its expense and as reasonably expeditiously as
possible, use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered,
listed or approved for listing on such domestic securities exchange, as the case
may be.
5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.
-----------------------------
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares
the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise
Price then in effect.
6. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.
------------------------
This Warrant Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting
rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise of
the Warrant.
7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.
----------------------
The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the
registered holder of this Warrant Agreement.
8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.
-----------------
The purchase price per share and the number of shares of Preferred Stock
purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:
(a) Merger and Sale of Assets. If at any time there shall be a capital
-------------------------
reorganization of the shares of the Company's stock (other than a combination,
reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for
herein), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation, or the sale
of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other
person (hereinafter referred to as a "Merger Event"), then, as a part of such
Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder shall
thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, the number of
shares of preferred stock or other securities of the successor corporation
resulting from such Merger Event, equivalent in value to that which would have
been issuable if Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to
the Merger Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in
good faith by the
-3-
Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions
of this Warrant Agreement with respect to the rights and interest of the
Warrantholder after the Merger Event to the end that the provisions of this
Warrant Agreement (including adjustments of the Exercise Price and number of
shares of Preferred Stock purchasable) shall be applicable to the greatest
extent possible.
(b) Reclassification of Shares. If the Company at any time shall, by
--------------------------
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or
otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this
Warrant Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any
other class or classes, this Warrant Agreement shall thereafter represent the
right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable
as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject
to the purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such
combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.
(c) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time shall
------------------------------------
combine or subdivide its Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately
increased in the case of a combination.
(d) Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time shall pay a dividend
---------------
payable in, or make any other distribution (except any distribution specifically
provided for in the foregoing subsections (a) or (b)) of the Company's stock,
then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the record date of
such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction (i)
the numerator of which shall be the total number of all shares of the Company's
stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (ii)
the denominator of which shall be the total number of all shares of the
Company's stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.
The Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise
Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Preferred Stock
(calculated to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of
Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment.
(e) Right to Purchase Additional Stock. If the Company has not paid any
----------------------------------
Subordinated Promissory Note(s) entered into pursuant to the Loan(s) in its
entirety by the Maturity Date (as defined in the applicable Subordinated
Promissory Note(s)), then for each additional month, or portion thereof,
thereafter that the outstanding principal is not paid, Warrantholder shall have
the right to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (adjusted as set
forth herein), an additional number of shares of Preferred Stock which number
shall be determined by (i) multiplying the outstanding principal amount which
due but unpaid by 1% and (ii) dividing the product thereof by the Exercise
Price.
(f) Antidilution Rights. Additional antidilution rights applicable to the
-------------------
Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder are as set forth in the Company's Amended
and Restated Certificate of incorporation, as amended through the Effective
Date, a true and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit IV (the
--
"Charter"). The Company shall promptly provide the Warrantholder with any
restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter. The Company
shall provide Warrantholder with prior written notice of any issuance of its
stock or other equity security that, pursuant to Article IV, Section 3 of the
Charter would require an adjustment to the conversion price of the Series E
Preferred Stock to occur after the Effective Date of this Warrant, which notice
shall include (a) the price at which such stock or security is to be sold, (b)
the number of shares to be issued, and (c) such other information as necessary
for Warrantholder to determine if a dilutive event has occurred.
(g) Notice of Adjustments. If: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend
---------------------
or distribution upon its stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other
securities; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription prorata to the holders
of any class of its Preferred or other convertible stock any additional shares
of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any Merger Event;
(iv) there shall be an initial public offering; or (v) there shall be any
voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in
connection with each such event, the
-4-
Company shall send to the Warrantholder (A) at least ten (10) days' prior
written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a
record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution, subscription rights (and
specifying the date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled
thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of such Merger Event,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up; (B) in the case of any such Merger
Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least ten (10) days' prior
written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the
date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to exchange their
Preferred Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger
Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up); and (C) in the case of a public
offering, the Company shall give the Warrantholder at least ten (10) days
written notice prior to the effective date thereof.
Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the
event requiring the adjustment, (ii) the amount of the adjustment, (iii) the
method by which such adjustment was calculated, (v) the Exercise Price, and (v)
the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed
to the Warrantholder, at the address as shown on the books of the Company.
(h) Timely Notice. Failure to timely provide such notice required by
-------------
subsection (g) above shall entitle Warrantholder to retain the benefit of the
applicable notice Period notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any insufficient notice received by Warrantholder. The notice period shall
begin on the date Warrantholder actually receives a written notice containing
all the information specified above.

a registration or exemption.
(b) Private Issue. The Warrantholder understands (i) that the Preferred

Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set
forth in this Section 10.
(c) Disposition of Warrantholder's Rights. In no event will the
-------------------------------------
Warrantholder make a disposition of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock
or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights unless and until it
shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition, and (ii) if
requested by the Company, it shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of
counsel (which counsel may either be inside or outside counsel to the
Warrantholder) satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that

transferred without registration under the 1933 Act in accordance with the
conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling
specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required. Whenever
the restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove provided, the
Warrantholder or holder of a share of Preferred Stock then outstanding as to
which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the
Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new certificates for the
Warrant or for such shares of Preferred Stock not bearing any restrictive
legend.
(d) Financial Risk. The Warrantholder has such knowledge and experience in
--------------
financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its
investment.
(e) Risk of No Registration. The Warrantholder understands that if the
-----------------------
Company does not register with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant

securities under the 1933 Act is not in effect when it desires to sell (i) the
rights to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this Warrant Agreement, or (ii)
the Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the right to purchase, it may be
required to hold such securities for an indefinite period. The Warrantholder
also understands that any sale of its rights of the Warrantholder to purchase
Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock which might be made by it in reliance upon
Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be made only in accordance with the terms and
conditions of that Rule.
