WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF SELECTICA, INC. VOID AFTER APRIL 4, 2004 This Warrant is issued to MHJDGD Selectica Trust ("Holder") by Selectica, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), on April 4, 2001 (the "Warrant Issue Date"). 1. Purchase of Shares. The Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company up to one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company ("Common Stock"). 2. Exercise Price. The exercise price for the Shares shall be $3.53 per share (such price, as adjusted from time to time, is herein referred to as the "Exercise Price"). 3. Term. This Warrant shall remain exercisable until 5:00 p.m. on April 4, 2004; provided, however, that in the event of (a) the closing of the Company's sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or (b) the closing of the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of merger, consolidation or other transaction or series of related transactions, resulting in the exchange of the outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock such that the shareholders of the Company prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity, this Warrant shall, on the date of such event, no longer be exercisable and become null and void. In the event of a proposed transaction of the kind described above, the Company shall notify the holder of the Warrant at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such event or transaction. 4. Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 3 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by: (a) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the form of Notice of Election attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and (b) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased. 5. Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 5, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder hereof a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula: Y (A - B) --------- X = A Where: X = The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this net exercise; Y = The number of Shares in respect of which the net issue election is made; A = The fair market value of one share of the Common Stock at the time the net issue election is made; B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of the net issuance). For purposes of this Section 6, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as of a particular date shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, that, if the Warrant is being exercised upon the closing of the IPO, the value will be the Price to Public of one share of such Common Stock specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering. 6. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter (with appropriate restrictive legends, if applicable), and in any event within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the subscription notice. 7. Issuance of Shares. The Company covenants that the Shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. 8. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: 2 (a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock or Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 9(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend. (b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the Common Stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 9(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. (c) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Warrant Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such event and of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant. 9. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect. 10. No Shareholder Rights. Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of shareholder meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled to any notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company. However, nothing in this Section 11 shall limit the right of the Holder to be provided the Notices required under this Warrant. 3 11. Transfers of Warrant. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are not transferable in whole or in part by the Holder. 12. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Holders hereof and their respective successors and assigns. 13. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. 14.

If any action of law or equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. 16. Captions. The section and subsection headings of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this Warrant in construing or interpreting any provision hereof. 17.
