On March 27, 2000, i2 Technologies, Inc. completed the acquisition from
International Business Machines Corporation of certain of IBM's software for
planning, retail merchandising and replenishment, including INFOREM(R) and
Makoro for Merchandise Planning(R). In addition, i2 and IBM entered into a
five-year cross-license of patent rights, under which i2 received a broad
license to IBM's patent portfolio, with certain exclusions, for use with
programs designed to improve or enhance process efficiency. Under this license,
IBM received a broad license to i2's patent portfolio for use with information
handling systems. Furthermore, i2 also acquired a license to IBM's internally
developed procurement software.
On the date of the acquisition, i2 issued 1,295,875 shares of its common
stock to IBM. In addition, i2 must issue to IBM up to an additional $250 million
in shares of i2's common stock, valued based on a trading average prior to the
date of issuance. i2 will be obligated to issue some or all of these shares in
the future based on the amount of the revenues it derives from or through IBM
during four annual periods, with the first annual period ending December 31,
2000. The consideration for the acquisition and related transactions was
determined by arms'-length negotiations between i2 and IBM.

<PAGE> 9

investigation pending or, to Investor's knowledge, currently threatened against
Investor that questions the validity of this Agreement or the Ancillary
Agreements, or the right of Investor to enter into such agreements, or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor is Investor
aware that there is any reasonable basis for the foregoing.
3.6 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Shares will be
acquired for investment for Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent,
and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and
Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Investor further
represents that Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such
person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares.
3.7 Disclosure of Information. Investor believes it has
received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to purchase the Shares. Investor further represents that it has had an
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the
terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the business, properties,
prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing, however, does
not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section
2 of this Agreement or the right of Investor to rely thereon.
3.8 Investment Experience. Investor is an investor in
securities of other companies and acknowledges that it is able to fend for
itself, can bear the economic risk of its investments, and has such knowledge
and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. Investor also represents
it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.
3.9 Accredited Investor. Investor is an "accredited
investor" within the meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in
effect.
3.10 Restricted Securities. Investor understands that the
Shares it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under the
federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection,
Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in
effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the
Securities Act.
3.11 Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way
limiting the representations set forth above, Investor further agrees not to
make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares unless and until the
transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to the bound by
Sections 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 and 4.7 hereof, provided and to the extent
such sections are their applicable, and;
6
<PAGE> 10
(a) there is then in effect a registration statement
under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition
is made in accordance with such registration statement and applicable state
securities laws; or
(b) (i) Investor shall have notified the Company of
the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if
requested by the Company, Investor shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of the Shares under the Securities Act
or applicable state securities laws. It is agreed that the Company will not
require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in
unusual circumstances (but Investor understands that the Company's transfer
agent may require such opinions).
3.12 Legend. It is understood that the certificates or
documents evidencing the Shares may bear the following legend:
"These securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or under the securities laws of
certain states. These securities are subject to restrictions on transferability
and resale and may not be transferred or resold except (i) in compliance with
that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 7, 2000 between
the issuer and International Business Machines Corporation, and (ii) as
permitted under the Act and applicable state securities laws, pursuant to
registration or exemption therefrom. The issuer of these securities may require
an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the issuer to the
effect that any proposed transfer or resale is in compliance with the Act and
any applicable state securities laws."
4. Additional Agreements.

by applicable law, upon the reasonable request of Investor, the Company shall
afford Investor and its accountants, counsel and other representatives,
reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the
First Closing to (i) the Company's properties, books, contracts, commitments and
records, (ii) other information concerning the business, properties and

agrees that the information obtained in any investigation pursuant to

EXHIBIT A
ISSUANCE OF PERFORMANCE SHARES
Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and set forth in the
Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), the Company shall
sell and issue to Investor Common Stock (the "Performance Shares") if the
Revenues in any Target Period are equal to or greater than 50% of the Revenue
Target for such Target Period. Certain capitalized terms used in this Exhibit
are defined in Section 3 hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined
herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
1. Issuance of Shares. The Company shall only be obligated to issue to
Investor the Performance Shares that have been earned pursuant to this Section
1.
(a) Revenue Targets and Target Grant Amounts. The Revenue Target and the
Target Grant Amount for each Target Period are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Target Period Revenue Target Target Grant Amount
- ------------- -------------- -------------------
<S> <C> <C>
1 * $ 25.34 million
2 * $ 43.07 million
3 * $ 53.21 million
4 * $ 65.88 million
</TABLE>
No Performance Shares or other consideration will be issuable or payable to
Investor pursuant to this Exhibit A in respect of 2004 or any subsequent year.
(b) Number of Performance Shares. Subject to Section 1(d) hereof, the
number of Performance Shares that the Company shall issue to Investor with
respect to each Target Period (or portion thereof) shall be determined by
dividing (a) the product of the Target Grant Amount for such Target Period
multiplied by the result of dividing the Revenues achieved during such Target
Period (or portion thereof) by the Revenue Target for such Target Period, by (b)
the Share Price; provided, that no Performance Shares shall be issued in respect
of any Target Period unless and until the Revenues achieved during such Target
Period equal or exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Revenue Target (the "Half
Target") for such Target Period.
(c) Additional Closings. Additional Closings may take place in respect
of each Target Period as follows:
(1) In the event the Half Target for any Target Period is achieved,
then an Additional Closing in respect of such Target Period shall take place on
or prior to the date which is thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar
quarter in which the Half Target was achieved. At such Additional Closing, the
Company shall issue the number of Performance Shares issuable
<PAGE> 18
in respect of that portion of the Target Period ending on the last day of the
calendar quarter in which the Half Target was achieved and calculated by
reference to the Revenues achieved during such portion of the Target Period in
accordance with Section 1(b) of this Exhibit A.
(2) In the event that the Half Target for any Target Period is
achieved during the first, second or third calendar quarter of the Target
Period, then an Additional Closing in respect of such Target Period shall take
place on or prior to the date which is thirty (30) days after the last day of
such Target Period. At such Additional Closing, the Company shall issue the
number of Performance Shares issuable in respect of that portion of the Target
Period commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter following the
calendar quarter in which the Half Target is achieved and calculated by
reference to the Revenues achieved during such portion of the Target Period in
accordance with Section 1(b) of this Exhibit A.
(3) In the event Investor gives the Company an Objection Notice in
accordance with Section 2(f)) hereof, then the Additional Closing with respect
to any portion of the Performance Shares as to which an objection is made shall
take place on or prior to the date which is ten (10) days after the agreement of
the Company and Investor or the determination of the Accountant, as the case may
be, as to the Revenues during the applicable Target Period.
(d) Maximum Number of Performance Shares. The maximum number of
Performance Shares that the Company shall be obligated to issue under this
Exhibit A shall be as follows:
(1) In no event shall the Company be obligated to issue Performance
Shares having an aggregate value (determined by reference to the Share Price
calculations for each issuance of Performance Shares hereunder) in excess of
$187.5 million; provided, that if Revenues of * and * are achieved in Target
Period 1 and Target Period 2, respectively, then such $187.5 million limit shall
be increased to $250 million.
(2) In the event that the Company would be obligated to issue more
than an aggregate total of 3,017,733 Performance Shares (as such number may be
adjusted in accordance with Section 2 hereof) under this Exhibit A, then the
Company may, at its option, elect to pay Investor cash in lieu of Performance
Shares with respect to such excess.
(e) Notice of Revenues. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each
calendar quarter during each of the Target Periods, the Company will use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Investor (i) a report, prepared in
accordance with the Company's records kept in the ordinary course of its
business, specifying the Revenues achieved during such calendar quarter and (ii)
a computation of the number of Performance Shares that have been earned with
respect to such period attributable to such Revenues set out in the report in
accordance with the terms hereof (the "Company Notice").
(f) Notice of Objection. Investor shall have fifteen (15) days from the
receipt of the Company Notice having been given in accordance with Section 1(d)
(the "Objection Notice Period"), to give the Company written notice that
Investor objects to all or a portion of the number of Performance Shares as set
forth in the Company Notice (the "Objection Notice"). The Company shall issue
certificates (with appropriate restrictive legends) for any portion of the
<PAGE> 19
Performance Shares set forth in the Company Notice as to which no objection is
made. Upon the giving of the Objection Notice with regard to any portion of the
Performance Shares as to which an objection is made, the parties will use
reasonable efforts to resolve any objections. If the parties are unable to
resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days from the date of the Objection
Notice, the parties will jointly select an accounting firm of national standing
to resolve the dispute. If the parties are unable to agree on the choice of such
an accounting firm, they will select an accounting firm of national standing by
lot (other than any accounting firms for either of the parties which prepared
the Report of Independent Accountants for the two (2) most recent fiscal years)
(the "Accountant") which shall determine the applicable Revenue for the period.
The Accountant shall deliver to each of the parties its determination within
twenty (20) days after being selected, and the determination of the Accountant
shall be binding upon the parties. The expenses of the Accountant shall be borne
equally by the parties. The Company shall issue certificates (with appropriate
restrictive legends) for any additional Performance Shares that are issued as a
result of the agreement of the Company and Investor or the determination of the
Accountant upon such agreement or determination.
2. Adjustment. The Share Price and the Performance Shares shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time as follows:
a. If the Company shall at any time during the twenty (20) trading days
during which the Share Price is being determined hereunder subdivide its Common
Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue
additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares
of its Common Stock, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the calculation of
the Share Price to reflect such subdivision, split-up, combination or stock
dividend.
b. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the
Company into, any other corporation, reorganization, recapitalization, or other
like change in the Common Stock of the Company (other than as a result of a
subdivision, split-up, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section
2(a) above), then, as a condition of such consolidation, merger, reorganization,
recapitalization, or other like change, lawful and adequate provision shall be
made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its
successor shall be delivered to Investor, so that Investor shall have the right,
subject to the terms hereof, to receive the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property receivable in connection with such
consolidation, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, or other like change by
a holder of Common Stock immediately prior to such consolidation, merger,
reorganization, recapitalization, or other like change.
c. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Share Price or in
the Performance Shares issuable hereunder, the Company shall promptly notify
Investor of such event and of the adjustments contemplated by this Section 2.
3. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued hereunder, but in lieu of such
fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefore on the basis
of the Share Price then in effect.

authorized said other manufacturer to make Grantee's Licensed Products under the
license granted to Grantee in this section when the conditions specified in this
Section 2.2 are fulfilled. In response to a written request identifying a
product and a manufacturer, Grantee shall in a timely manner inform Grantor of
the quantity of such product, if any, manufactured by such manufacturer pursuant
to the license granted in Section 2.1.
2.3 Except as expressly provided herein, no license or immunity is granted under
this Agreement by either party, either directly or by implication, estoppel or
otherwise to any third parties acquiring items from either party for the
combination of such acquired items with other items (including items acquired
from either party hereto) or for the use of such combination.
2.4 Subject to Section 2.5, the licenses granted herein shall include the right
of each party to grant sublicenses to its Subsidiaries existing on or after the
Agreement Date, which sublicenses may include the right of sublicensed
Subsidiaries to sublicense other Subsidiaries of said party. No sublicense shall
be broader in any respect at any time during the life of this Agreement than the
license held at that time by the party that granted the sublicense.
2.5 A sublicense granted to a Subsidiary shall terminate on the earlier of:
(a) the date such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary; and
(b) the date of termination or expiration of the license of the party or
Subsidiary that granted the sublicense.
If a Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary and holds any patents under which a
party hereto is licensed, such license shall continue for the term defined
herein.
2.6 In the event that neither a party nor any of its Subsidiaries has the right
to grant a license under any particular Licensed Patent of the scope set forth
in Section 2, then the license granted herein under said Licensed Patent shall
be of the broadest scope which said party or any of its Subsidiaries has the
right to grant within the scope set forth above.
2.7 If, after the Agreement Date, a party or any of its Subsidiaries ("Acquiring
Party") either acquires an entity or acquires substantially all of the assets
from an entity, and said entity is, as of the date of acquisition, licensed by
the other party ("Licensor") under one or more Licensed Patents through an
existing agreement pursuant to which royalties or other payments are made by
said entity to Licensor, then the license and other rights granted herein to the
Acquiring Party with respect to said Licensed Patents shall apply to products
manufactured by said entity or through the use of said assets, provided that
such royalties or other payments shall continue to be made by the Acquiring
Party or said entity to the Licensor with respect to such products
notwithstanding that the Acquiring Party may have been licensed for the same
Licensed Products before the acquisition.

2.8 If one party (the "Transferring Party") transfers a product line after the
Agreement Date, either as part of or separate from a disposition of a Subsidiary
to any third party, and if such transfer includes at least one marketable
product and tangible assets having a net value of at least twenty-five million
US dollars ($25,000,000.00), then after written request to the other party
hereto jointly by the Transferring Party and such third party within sixty (60)
days following the transfer, the other party hereto agrees to grant a
royalty-free license (under the same terms as the license granted to the
Transferring Party herein) under its Licensed Patents for the field (as defined
between the Transferring Party and the other party) of such product line to the
ex-Subsidiary in the case of a disposition of a Subsidiary, or to such third
party if not such a disposition, (each referred to as the "Recipient") provided
that:
(a) such field shall not be defined more broadly than appropriate to cover
the particular product line being transferred, including extensions
thereto based on the same technology;
(b) the license granted shall be limited in the twelve (12) months
immediately following such transfer to a volume of licensed products
having an aggregate selling price equal to no more than the aggregate
selling prices of such products by said one party in the twelve (12)
months preceding such transfer plus ten percent (10%); and shall be
limited, in each of the successive twelve-month periods following such
transfer, to a volume of licensed products having an aggregate selling
price equal to no more than the limit for the immediately preceding
twelve-month period plus ten percent (10%);
(c) the Recipient shall grant to such other party a royalty-free license
(under the same terms as the license granted to such other party herein)
under all Recipient Patents for all products licensed herein to such
other party on the date of the product line transfer. "Recipient
Patents" shall mean all patents throughout the world under which, at any
time commencing with the date of the product line transfer, the
Recipient or any of its Subsidiaries has the right to grant such
licenses;
(d) this Section 2.8, Section 3, and Section 4 shall be omitted from the
license granted to the Recipient; and
(e) the license granted to the Recipient shall terminate if the license
granted to the Transferring Party terminates or is terminated for any
reason.
2.9 If, pursuant to a license granted by Grantee to a third party, copies are
made of all or part of a computer program provided by, Grantee, such copies will
be treated for purposes of this Agreement as if they had been transferred
directly by Grantee, provided:
(a) such copies are transferred or used by such third party as products of
Grantee; and
(b) the number of copies that can be made is limited in a written agreement
with the third party.
2.10 Each party covenants not to sue the other party's direct and indirect
end-user customers of Programs leased, licensed, sold or otherwise transferred
by the other party or any of its sublicensed Subsidiaries within the scope of
the license granted to Grantee herein, under Grantor's Licensed Patents for the
formation of any combination of such Programs with other IHS Products, and for
the use (but not the sale) of such combinations that have been formed by
5
<PAGE> 27
said end-user, notwithstanding that such other IHS Products are not furnished by
GRANTEE or its sublicensed Subsidiary; provided, however, that such covenant not
to sue shall only extend to patent claims with respect to which Grantee's
furnishing of such Programs would, in the absence of this Agreement, constitute
infringement (including, but not limited to, contributory infringement or
inducement to infringe); and provided, further, that such covenant not to sue
shall not extend to the manufacture or lease, sale or other transfer of:
(a) any such other IHS Product;
(b) any portion or portions of any such other IHS Product; and
(c) any combination of such other IHS Products.
2.11 *
2.12 *
SECTION 3. RELEASES
3.1 Each party (as "Releasor") on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries which
are Subsidiaries on the Agreement Date, irrevocably releases the other party,
the other party's Subsidiaries which are Subsidiaries on the Agreement Date and
the customers of the other party and the other party's Subsidiaries from any
and all claims of infringement of Releasor's Licensed Patents which claims are
based on acts prior to the Effective Date, which, had they been performed after
the Effective Date would have been licensed under this Agreement.

Subsidiary of such third party:
(a) the Acquired Party shall promptly give notice of such acquisition to the
other party; and
(b) the license granted to the Acquired Party and all sublicenses (if any)
granted to the Acquired Party's remaining Subsidiaries shall
automatically become limited to only products identical ("identical"

Products field for which it is so licensed.
7.4 Each party represents and warrants that it has the full right and power to
grant the license and release set forth in Sections 2 and 3. Each party (as a
Grantor) further represents and warrants that prior to the Agreement Date, it
has informed the other party of any patent originating from inventions made by
employees of Grantor or its Subsidiaries, which patent is or was owned by
Grantor or its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date, and which patent, owing to
prior arrangements with third parties, does not qualify as a Licensed Patent of
Grantor under which licenses are granted in Section 2. A listing of such patents
owned by IBM is attached as Attachment A. Neither party makes any other
representation or warranty, express or implied, nor shall either party have any
liability in respect of any infringement of patents or other rights of third
parties due to the other party's operation under the license herein granted.
7.5 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring any
rights by implication, estoppel or otherwise, under any non-patent intellectual
property right, or any patents or patent applications, other than the Licensed
Patents. Neither party is required hereunder to furnish or disclose to the other
any technical or other information (including copies of Licensed Patents) except
as specifically provided herein.
7.6 Neither party shall have any obligation hereunder to institute any action or
suit against third parties for infringement of any of its Licensed Patents or to
defend any action or suit brought by a third party which challenges or concerns
the validity of any of its Licensed Patents. Neither party shall have any right
to institute any action or suit against third parties for infringement of any of
the other party's Licensed Patents. Neither party, nor any of its Subsidiaries,
is required to file any patent application, or to secure any patent or patent
rights, or to maintain any patent in force.
7.7 Each party shall, upon a request from the other party sufficiently
identifying any patent or patent application, inform the other party as to the
extent to which said patent or patent application is subject to the licenses and
other rights granted hereunder. If such licenses or other rights under said
patent or patent application are restricted in scope, copies of all pertinent
provisions of any contract or other arrangement creating such restrictions
shall, upon request, be furnished to the party making such request, unless such
disclosure is prevented by such contract, and in such event, a statement of the
nature of such restriction shall be provided.
7.8 If a third party has the right to grant licenses under a patent to a party
hereto (as a "Licensee") with the consent of the other party hereto, said other
party shall provide said third party with any consent required to enable said
third party to license said Licensee on whatever terms such third party may deem
appropriate. Each party hereby waives any right it may have to receive royalties
or other consideration from said third party as a result of said third party's
so licensing said Licensee within the scope of the licenses granted under
Section 2 of this Agreement.

7.9 This Agreement shall not be binding upon the parties until it has been
signed hereinbelow by or on behalf of each party. No amendment or modification
hereof shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless made in writing and
signed as aforesaid, except that IBM may amend Section 6.2 and either party may
amend its address in Section 6.1 by written notice to the other party.
7.10 If any section of this Agreement is found by competent authority to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity,
legality and enforceability of such section in every other respect and the
remainder of this Agreement shall continue in effect so long as the Agreement
still expresses the intent of the parties. However, if the intent of the parties
cannot be preserved, this Agreement shall be either renegotiated or terminated.

parties hereto shall be determined, in accordance with the law of the State of
Delaware, USA, as such law applies to contracts signed and fully performed in
Delaware. Each party submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any Delaware federal court of the United States of America
sitting in the State of Delaware and any appellate court from any such court, in
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
7.12 The headings of sections are inserted for convenience of reference only and
are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.

The nondisclosure obligation shall be satisfied by a party if it treats this
Agreement in the same manner as it treats its other similar contracts.
7.14 Entry into this Agreement does not constitute an admission by
either party of any need for a license under the patents of the other party.

PRESS RELEASE
i2 ACQUIRES IBM E-BUSINESS SOLUTIONS FOR RETAIL INDUSTRY
i2 Expands Planning and Replenishment Product Offerings to Include Pre-Season
Forecasting Tools
DALLAS, TEXAS - April 4, 2000 - i2 Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ITWO), the
leading global provider of intelligent eBusiness solutions, announced today that
it has completed the acquisition of IBM's software for planning, retail
merchandising and replenishment, including INFOREM(R) and Makoro for Merchandise
Planning(R). Today's announcement is a strategic step in advancing the i2, IBM
and Ariba alliance, which intends to deliver the industry's first end-to-end
solution for business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce and collaboration. With the
acquisition of IBM's software assets, i2 will add over 140 consumer goods and
retail customers to its existing customer base, provide support to those

Retailers need to deliver both predictable and sustainable improvements in

become i2 employees and will continue to build and integrate the solutions.

TradeMatrix solutions for planning, replenishment and collaboration offers
enhanced opportunities to provide value to our customers above those offered by

"The sale of these assets aligns with IBM's solutions organization strategy to
partner with key e-business market makers."
"The integration of IBM's retail solutions with i2's TradeMatrix e-marketplace
platform will create real value in the B2B market," said Wim De Waele, vice
president, i2's Consumer Goods and Retail business unit. "This acquisition moves
our market-leading solutions for merchandise planning and replenishment from
point solutions to a more integrated framework for a complete retail e-business
solution. The i2 solution is available as RHYTHM Makoro Merchandise
Planner(TM)."
