EXCHANGE APPLICATIONS, INC. --------------------------- WARRANT NO.: W-3 APRIL 16, 2001 VOID AFTER APRIL 16, 2011 (OR EARLIER UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF CERTAIN EVENTS DESCRIBED BELOW) THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, each holder listed on Schedule 1 hereto, or each such holder's respective assigns (each, a "Holder" and together, the "Holders"), and in accordance with the percentages opposite such Holder's name on Schedule I, shall be entitled to subscribe for and purchase from EXCHANGE APPLICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (including any successor thereto (by way of merger, consolidation, sale or otherwise), the "Company"), (i) as of the date hereof, 818,182 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock") of the Company and (ii) after the date hereof, up to that number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (a) 700,909 and (b) a fraction (not to exceed 1), the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed since the date hereof to and including the Warrant Vesting Date and the denominator of which is 262 (collectively, the "Warrant Shares"). The "Warrant Vesting Date" shall mean the earliest of (a) December 31, 2001, (b) the date that the Holders' obligations, if any, under clause (ii) of the first paragraph of the letter, dated April 16, 2001 (the "Letter"), among the Holders and the Company, terminate due to notification from the Company to that effect or (C) the date of the consummation of a Sale of the Corporation (as such term is defined therein). SECTION 1. EXERCISE PERIOD. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holders at any time or from time to time after the date hereof and on or prior to April 16, 2011 (such period being herein referred to as the "Exercise Period"). SECTION 2. EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price (the "Exercise Price") at any time for each Warrant Share shall be equal to the lowest Market Price for a share of Common Stock of the Company for the period from the date hereof until the earlier of (a) the date of first exercise of this Warrant and (b) the Warrant Vesting Date. SECTION 3. EXERCISE OF WARRANT; WARRANT SHARES. (a) (a) The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in any part (but not as to a fractional Warrant Share), by (i) the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed) at the office of the Company (or at such other agency or office of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), (ii) delivery to the Company of a notice of election to exercise in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, and (iii) payment to the Company of the aggregate Exercise Price by (A) cash, wire transfer funds or check and/or (B) Warrant Shares or Warrants to purchase Warrant Shares (net of the Exercise Price for such Warrant Shares), valued for such purposes at the Market Price per share as of the Exercise Date. As used herein, "Market Price" at any date of one Warrant Share or one share of Common Stock shall be (i) the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sales took place on such day, the average of the last reported bid and ask price regular way on the principal national securities exchange on which the class or series of the Company's securities to which the Warrant Shares or Common Stock belong is listed or admitted to trading (or if such class or series is not at the time listed or admitted for trading on any such exchange, then such price as shall be equal to the last reported sale price, or if there is no such sale price, the average of the last reported bid and ask price, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System ("NASDAQ") on such day, or if, on any day in question, the security shall not be quoted on the NASDAQ, then such price shall be equal to the average of the last reported bid and ask price on such day as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or any similar reputable quotation and reporting service, if such quotation is not reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.) or (ii) if the class or series of the Company's securities to which the Warrant Shares or Common Stock belong is not listed or admitted to trading on a principal national securities exchange, the value given such share as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. (b) Each date on which this Warrant is surrendered and on which payment of the Exercise Price is made in accordance with Section 3(a) above is referred to herein as an "Exercise Date." As soon as practicable after each exercise, the Company shall issue and deliver a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder's designee, to such Holder or designee, as the case may be. If such exercise shall not have been for the full number of the Warrant Shares, then the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, registered in the name of the Holder, of like tenor to this Warrant, for the balance of the Warrant Shares that remain after exercise of the Warrant. (c) The person in whose name any certificate for Warrant Shares is issued upon any exercise shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares as of the Exercise Date, except that if the Exercise Date is a date on which the share transfer books of the Company are closed, such person or entity shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books are open. SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. The Company represents and warrants to the Holders that all corporate action to authorize and issue this Warrant has been taken and that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and free from all liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof (other than liens and charges created by any Holder). The Company will from time to time use its reasonable best efforts to take all such action as may be required to assure that the stated or par value per Warrant Share is at all times no greater than the then effective Exercise Price. The Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Warrant Shares to provide for the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued Warrant Shares to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon exercise of the Warrant. If any Warrant Shares reserved for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company shall in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be. In the event, and to the extent, that the issuance of any Warrant Shares would result in a violation of any law or NASD rule or regulation the Company shall issue promissory notes to the Holders in lieu of the Warrant Shares in a principal amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised that cannot be issued due to such violation (the "Exercised Shares") and (y) the excess of (A) the Market Price for the Exercised Shares as of the Exercise Date over (B) the Exercise Price for the Exercised Shares, at a market rate of interest and with such other terms and conditions to be mutually determined by the Company and the Holders and payable in cash. SECTION 5. NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holders to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company. SECTION 6. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Each Holder may assign this Warrant, the Warrant Shares and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, at the agency or office of the Company referred to in Section 3 hereof to (i) its limited partners or any affiliate of such Holder or (ii) any purchaser or transferee from such Holder of Warrant Shares with the consent of the Company upon (x) surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed, and (y) delivery of a notice of transfer in the form of EXHIBIT B hereto. Each permitted transferee of this Warrant, by accepting or holding the same, consents to be treated as a Holder under this Warrant and shall be entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant; provided, however, that until each such transfer is recorded on such books, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the owner hereof for all purposes. SECTION 7. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its reasonable discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. SECTION 8. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws). SECTION 9. HEADINGS. The headings of the various sections contained in this Warrant have been inserted for convenience of reference only and should not be deemed to be a part of this Warrant. SECTION 10. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No provision of this Warrant may be amended or waived except if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Holders, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. SECTION 11. REGISTRATION RIGHTS; EXPENSES. All of the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be "Registrable Shares" as defined under the Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement of the Company, dated as of March 28, 2001. The Company shall reimburse the Holders for all legal and other expenses related to the preparation, negotiation and enforcement of this Warrant. * * * * IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the date first written above.
