WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK

For the Purchase Price of Warrant stipulated in that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of March 25, 2009, among the Company, Lenders and certain other investors, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, this Warrant (“Warrant”) is issued to [                    ] or his/her/its assigns (the “Holder”) by PALANTIR TECHNOLOGIES INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

1.    Purchase of Shares.

(a)    Number of Conversion Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and set forth in the Purchase Agreement, 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 in writing), to purchase from the Company up to the number of fully paid and nonassessable Conversion Shares as described in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement (as adjusted pursuant to Section 6 hereof).

(b)    Exercise Price. The purchase price for the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 1 shall be the exercise price described in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement. The Conversion Shares and the purchase price of such Conversion Shares shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6 hereof. Such purchase price, as adjusted from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price.”

2.    Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the earlier of (i) the closing date of the Next Equity Financing and (ii) the Maturity Date, and ending on [                    ]; provided, however, that this Warrant shall not be exercisable and shall become immediately null and void upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction or Initial Public Offering. In the event of a Corporate Transaction or

Initial Public Offering, the Company shall notify the Holder at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction or Initial Public Offering.

3.    Method of Exercise.

(a)    While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:

(i)    the surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing); and

(ii)    the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Conversion Shares being purchased.

(b)    Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate for the Conversion Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Conversion Shares represented by such certificate.

(c)    As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

(i)    a certificate or certificates for the number of Conversion Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled, and

(ii)    in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Conversion Shares equal to the number of such Conversion Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Conversion Shares purchased by the Holder upon all exercises made in accordance with Section 3(a) above or Section 4 below.

4.    Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election (a “Net Exercise”). A Holder who Net Exercises shall have the rights described in Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, and the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Conversion Shares computed using the following formula:

X =	Y (A - B)
	A

2

Where

X = The number of Conversion Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Y = The number of Conversion Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation).

A = The fair market value of one (1) Conversion Share (at the date of such calculation).

B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).

For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value of a Conversion Share shall mean the average of the closing price of the Conversion Shares (or equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying the Shares) quoted in the over-the-counter market in which the Conversion Shares (or equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying the Conversion Shares) are traded or the closing price quoted on any exchange or electronic securities market on which the Conversion Shares (or equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants) are listed, whichever is applicable, as published in The Wall Street Journal for the thirty (30) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value (or such shorter period of time during which such Conversion Shares were traded over-the-counter or on such exchange). In the event that this Warrant is exercised pursuant to this Section 4 in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering, the fair market value per Conversion Share shall be the product of (a) the per share offering price to the public of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Conversion Share is convertible at the time of such exercise or, if the Conversion Shares are shares of Common Stock, one. If the Conversion Shares are not traded on the over-the-counter market, an exchange or an electronic market, the fair market value shall be the price per Conversion Share that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for Conversion Shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued Conversion Shares, as such prices shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

5.    Covenants of the Company.

(a)    Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters or a stock dividend) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to such record date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

(b)    Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Conversion Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the

3

Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

6.    Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Conversion Shares. The number and kind of Conversion Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a)    Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time after the issuance but prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Preferred Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Preferred Stock, or issue additional shares of its Preferred Stock or Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Preferred Stock, the number of Conversion 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 Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Conversion Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 6(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 capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 6(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 or property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number and type of securities as were purchasable as Conversion Shares 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 or property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price per Conversion Share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise 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 Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Conversion Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

(d)    Conversion of Preferred Stock. In the event that all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are converted to Common Stock, or any other security, in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as

4

amended from time to time, in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering, a Corporate Transaction or any other event, this Warrant shall become exercisable for Common Stock or such other security.

7.    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.

8.    No Stockholder Rights. Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Conversion Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Conversion Shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of stockholder meetings, and except as otherwise provided in this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, such Holder shall not be entitled to any stockholder notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company.

9.    Transfer of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and any other contractual restrictions between the Company and the Holder contained in the Agreements, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part by the Holder to any person or entity upon written notice to the Company. Within a reasonable time after the Company’s receipt of an executed Assignment Form in the form attached hereto, the transfer shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the Company at its principal offices, and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. In the event of a partial transfer, the Company shall issue to the new holders one or more appropriate new warrants.

10.    Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California as applied to agreements among California residents, made and to be performed entirely within the State of California.

11.    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.

12.    Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Warrant are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant.

13.    Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.
