ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission
by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from the registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
4
15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Manhattan Associates, Inc., a Georgia
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form
S-8, of a proposed offering of 5,729,784 shares of the Company's common stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), including (i) up to 5,000,000 Shares
issuable pursuant to the Manhattan Associates LLC Option Plan (the "LLC Option
Plan"), (ii) 5,000,000 Shares less the number of shares of Common Stock issued
under the LLC Option Plan issuable pursuant to the Manhattan Associates, Inc.
Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan") and 729,784 Shares issued
outside the LLC Option Plan and Stock Incentive Plan (together with the Stock
Incentive Plan and LLC Option Plan, the "Plans").
We have examined and are familiar with the originals or copies certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such documents, corporate records,
and other instruments relating to the incorporation of the Company and to the
authorization and issuance of Shares under the Plans as would be necessary and
advisable for purposes of rendering this opinion. Based upon and subject to the
foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and,
when issued as contemplated by the Plans, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this Opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the
Company's registration statement on Form S-8.
Very truly yours,
MORRIS, MANNING & MARTIN, L.L.P.
/s/ Morris, Manning & Martin, L.L.P.
EXHIBIT 10.3
MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, LLC
SHARE OPTION AGREEMENT
This Share Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") is made as of July 1,
1997, by and between MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, LLC, a Georgia limited liability
company (the "Company"), and ZACHARY TODARO, an individual employed by the
Company (the "Optionee").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, on January 1, 1996, the Company issued to Optionee an option to
purchase 8,750 shares of the Company (the "Prior Option") at a purchase price of
$5.37 per share; and
WHEREAS, the capitalization of the Company has recently been changed, so
that the 875,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Company were converted
into 10,000,002 shares through a share dividend, and the numbers of both the
issued and authorized but unissued shares were therefore increased; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to execute with the Optionee a new share
option agreement in order to adjust the number of shares and the exercise price,
taking into account the changes in capitalization, so that Optionee shall
continue to have rights equivalent to those under the Prior Option;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF OPTION
The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option (the
"Option") to purchase from the Company, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of
the Company (the "Option Shares"). The date of grant of this Option shall be
July 1, 1997 ("Date of Grant").
2. PRICE
The purchase price (the "Option Price") for the Option Shares subject to
the Option granted by this Option Agreement is $0.47 per share.
3. EXERCISE OF OPTION
The Option granted pursuant to this Option Agreement shall be subject to
vesting and exercise as follows:
3.1. VESTING AND TIME OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.
The Option shall vest as to one fourth (1/4) of the Option Shares on
December 31, 1997. The Option shall vest as to an additional one fourth of the
Option Shares each on December 31, 1998, December 31, 1999, December 31, 2000,
respectively. Except as provided in Section 3.5.1 below, the Option shall not
become exercisable until a Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a
Change of Control shall mean a sale or transfer (other than as security for the
Company's obligations) of title to all of the computer software as well as the
other material assets of the Company having a combined value of more than ninety
percent (90%) of the total value of all the assets of the Company, as determined
on the date of sale or transfer. A Change of Control shall not be deemed to
occur merely upon the conversion of the Company to a corporation or other
entity, whether by contribution of the Company's assets, merger or otherwise, if
upon the conversion the ownership of the Company's equity interests remains in
the hands of those who were Shareholders immediately preceding the conversion.
The foregoing installments, to the extent not exercised, shall accumulate and be
exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, after
becoming exercisable and prior to the termination of the Option; provided, that
----------
no single exercise of the Option shall be for less than 10 shares, unless the
number of shares purchased is the total number at the time available for
purchase under this Option.
3.2. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
The Optionee may exercise the Option only while the Optionee is employed by
the Company, except as provided in this Section 3.2 or in Section 3.3 or 3.4
hereof. In the event that the Optionee's termination of employment is by reason
of the Optionee's retirement with the consent of the Company in accordance with
the normal retirement policies of the Company, as the case may be, then the
Optionee shall have the right (subject to the general limitations on exercise
set forth in this Article 3) at any time within three months after such
retirement and prior to the termination of the Option pursuant to Section 3.5
below, to exercise, in whole or in part, any Option held by such Optionee at the
date of such retirement, whether or not such Option was exercisable immediately
prior to such retirement.
3.3. DEATH
In the event of the Optionee's death while employed by the Company, the
personal representative or legatees or distributees of the Optionee's estate, as
the case may be, shall have the right (subject to the limitations on exercise
set forth in this Article 3), to exercise any Option held by the Optionee at the
date of such Optionee's death, whether or not the Option was exercisable on the
date of the Optionee's death, at any time within one year after the date of the
Optionee's death and prior to the termination of the Option as set forth in
Section 3.5. hereof.
-2-
3.4. DISABILITY
If the Optionee's termination of employment is by reason of "permanent and
total disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the Optionee shall have the right (subject to
the limitations on exercise set forth in this Article 3) to exercise all or any
part of the Option, whether or not the Option was exercisable immediately prior
to the termination of employment, at any time within one year after such
termination of employment and prior to the termination of the Option as set
forth in Section 3.5 hereof.
3.5. TERMINATION OF OPTION
The Option shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of a
period of 10 years from the Date of Grant, or (ii) the Optionee's termination of
employment with the Company.
3.5.1. LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTION
In no event may the Option be exercised prior to the occurrence of a Change
in Control without the prior written approval and consent of the shareholders of
the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if not earlier exercised, the
Option may be exercised, even if a Change in Control has not occurred, beginning
on the date which is nine years and nine months following the Date of Grant. In
no event, however, shall the Option be exercisable, in whole or in part, after
10 years following the Date of Grant. In no event may the Option be exercised
for a fractional share.
3.6. METHOD OF EXERCISE OF OPTION
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the Option
may be exercised by delivering written notice of exercise to the Company, at its
principal office, addressed to the attention of the President, which notice
shall specify the number of shares for which the Option is being exercised, and
shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares for
which the Option is being exercised. Payment of the Option Price for the Option
Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option shall be made in whole
or in part either: (i) in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company;
(ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law and agreed to by the Company, by
the delivery to the Company of a promissory note of the person exercising the
Option, in which such person promises to pay the Option Price to the Company on
such terms (including, without limitation, payment of interest) as shall be
agreed to by the Company; (iii) to the extent permitted by applicable law
through the tender to the Company of shares of the Company previously acquired
by the Optionee and held for a period of at least six months, which shares shall
be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price has
been paid thereby, at their fair market value (determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company) on the date of exercise; or (iv) by a combination of
the foregoing methods. If the person exercising the Option is not the Optionee,
such person shall also deliver with the notice of exercise appropriate proof of
his or her right to exercise the Option. An attempt to exercise the Option
granted hereunder other than as set forth above shall be invalid and of no force
and effect. Promptly after exercise of the Option as provided above,
-3-
the Company shall deliver to the person exercising the Option a certificate or
certificates for the Option Shares being purchased. Upon acceptance of payment
of the Option Price by the Company, Optionee shall execute the Operating
Agreement of the Company then in effect (the "Operating Agreement") and shall
become subject to all of the rights, restrictions and limitations of a
shareholder of the Company.
4. TRANSFERABILITY
4.1. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS
During the lifetime of an Optionee, only such Optionee (or, in the event of
legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee's guardian or legal
representative) may exercise the Option. No Option shall be assignable or
transferable by the Optionee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution.
4.2. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION SHARES
An Optionee (or any other person who is entitled to exercise an Option
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) shall not sell, pledge, assign, give or
otherwise transfer or dispose of any Option Shares except in accordance with the
provisions of the Operating Agreement.
4.3. PUBLICLY TRADED SHARES
If the Shares become listed on an established national or regional exchange
or are admitted to quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System, or are publicly traded in an established securities
market, the foregoing restrictions of this Section 4 shall terminate as of the
first date that the Shares are so listed, quoted or publicly traded.
4.4. LEGEND DESCRIBING RESTRICTIONS AND OBLIGATIONS
The Board may cause a legend to be placed prominently on certificates
representing Shares issued pursuant to this Option Agreement in order to give
notice of the transferability restrictions and obligations imposed by this
Section 4.
5. RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER
Neither the Optionee nor any executor, administrator, distributee or
legatee of the Optionee's estate shall be, or have any of the rights or
privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Option Shares
issuable hereunder unless and until such shares have been fully paid and
certificates representing such shares have been endorsed, transferred and
delivered, and the name of the Optionee (or of such personal representative,
administrator, distributee or legatee of the Optionee's estate) has been entered
as the shareholder of record on the books of the Company.
-4-
6. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES
The parties hereto recognize that the Company may be obligated to withhold
federal and local income taxes and Social Security taxes to the extent that the
Optionee realizes ordinary income in connection with the exercise of the Option
or in connection with a disposition of any Option Shares acquired by exercise of
the Option. The Optionee agrees that the Company may withhold amounts needed to
cover such taxes from payments otherwise due and owing to the Optionee, and also
agrees that upon demand the Optionee will promptly pay to the Company having
such obligation any additional amounts as may be necessary to satisfy such
withholding tax obligation. Such payment shall be made in cash or by certified
check payable to the order of the Company, or, at the discretion of the Company,
may be made by withholding Option Shares upon exercise sufficient to cover the
tax liability.
7. DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS
No provision in this Option Agreement shall be construed to confer upon the
Optionee the right to be employed by the Company, or to interfere in any way
with the right and authority of the Company either to increase or decrease the
compensation of the Optionee at any time, or to terminate any employment or
other relationship between the Optionee and the Company.
8. INTERPRETATION OF THIS OPTION AGREEMENT

EXHIBIT 10.4
MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, LLC
SHARE OPTION AGREEMENT
This Share Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") is made as of July 1,
1997, by and between MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, LLC, a Georgia limited liability
company (the "Company"), and SURYAPRAKASH SINGAPUR, an individual employed by
the Company (the "Optionee").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, on January 1, 1996, the Company issued to Optionee an option to
purchase 14,583 shares of the Company (the "Prior Option") at an exercise price
of $5.37 per share; and
WHEREAS, the capitalization of the Company has recently been changed, so
that the 875,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Company were converted
into 10,000,002 shares through a share dividend, and the numbers of both the
issued and authorized but unissued shares were therefore increased; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to execute with the Optionee a new share
option agreement in order to adjust the number of shares and the exercise price,
taking into account the changes in capitalization, so that Optionee shall
continue to have rights equivalent to those under the Prior Option;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF OPTION
The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option (the
"Option") to purchase from the Company, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, one hundred sixty-six thousand six
hundred sixty-three (166,663) shares of the Company (the "Option Shares"). The
date of grant of this Option shall be July 1, 1997 ("Date of Grant").
2. PRICE
The purchase price (the "Option Price") for the Option Shares subject to
the Option granted by this Option Agreement is $0.47 per share.
3. EXERCISE OF OPTION
The Option granted pursuant to this Option Agreement shall be subject to
vesting and exercise as follows:
3.1. VESTING AND TIME OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.
As of the Date of Grant, the Option shall be vested as to one sixth (1/6)
of the Option Shares. The Option shall vest as to an additional one sixth of
the Option Shares on December 31, 1997, December 31, 1998, December 31, 1999,
December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Except as provided in
Section 3.5.1 below, the Option shall not become exercisable until a Change in
Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change of Control shall mean a sale
or transfer (other than as security for the Company's obligations) of title to
all of the computer software as well as the other material assets of the Company
having a combined value of more than ninety percent (90%) of the total value of
all the assets of the Company, as determined on the date of sale or transfer. A
Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur merely upon the conversion of the
Company to a corporation or other entity, whether by contribution of the
Company's assets, merger or otherwise, if upon the conversion the ownership of
the Company's equity interests remains in the hands of those who were
Shareholders immediately preceding the conversion. The foregoing installments,
to the extent not exercised, shall accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in
part, at any time and from time to time, after becoming exercisable and prior to
the termination of the Option; provided, that no single exercise of the Option
---------
shall be for less than 10 shares, unless the number of shares purchased is the
total number at the time available for purchase under this Option.
3.2. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
The Optionee may exercise the Option only while the Optionee is employed by
the Company, except as provided in this Section 3.2 or in Section 3.3 or 3.4
hereof. In the event that the Optionee's termination of employment is by reason
of the Optionee's retirement with the consent of the Company in accordance with
the normal retirement policies of the Company, as the case may be, then the
Optionee shall have the right (subject to the general limitations on exercise
set forth in this Article 3) at any time within three months after such
retirement and prior to the termination of the Option pursuant to Section 3.5
below, to exercise, in whole or in part, any Option held by such Optionee at the
date of such retirement, whether or not such Option was exercisable immediately
prior to such retirement.
3.3. DEATH
In the event of the Optionee's death while employed by the Company, the
personal representative or legatees or distributees of the Optionee's estate, as
the case may be, shall have the right (subject to the limitations on exercise
set forth in this Article 3), to exercise any Option held by the Optionee at the
date of such Optionee's death, whether or not the Option was exercisable on the
date of the Optionee's death, at any time within one year after the date of the
Optionee's death and prior to the termination of the Option as set forth in
Section 3.5. hereof.
-2-
3.4. DISABILITY
If the Optionee's termination of employment is by reason of "permanent and
total disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the Optionee shall have the right (subject to
the limitations on exercise set forth in this Article 3) to exercise all or any
part of the Option, whether or not the Option was exercisable immediately prior
to the termination of employment, at any time within one year after such
termination of employment and prior to the termination of the Option as set
forth in Section 3.5 hereof.
3.5. TERMINATION OF OPTION
The Option shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of a
period of 10 years from the Date of Grant, or (ii) the Optionee's termination of
employment with the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate.
3.5.1. Limitations on Exercise of Option
In no event may the Option be exercised prior to the occurrence of a
Change of Control without the prior written approval and consent of the
shareholders of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if not earlier
exercised, the Option may be exercised, even if a Change of Control has not
occurred, beginning on the date which is nine years and nine months following
the Date of Grant. In no event, however, shall the Option be exercisable, in
whole or in part, after 10 years following the Date of Grant. In no event may
the Option be exercised for a fractional share.
3.6. METHOD OF EXERCISE OF OPTION
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the Option
may be exercised by delivering written notice of exercise to the Company, at its
principal office, addressed to the attention of the President, which notice
shall specify the number of shares for which the Option is being exercised, and
shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares for
which the Option is being exercised. Payment of the Option Price for the Option
Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option shall be made in whole
or in part either: (i) in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company;
(ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law and agreed to by the Company, by
the delivery to the Company of a promissory note of the person exercising the
Option, in which such person promises to pay the Option Price to the Company on
such terms (including, without limitation, payment of interest) as shall be
agreed to by the Company; (iii) to the extent permitted by applicable law
through the tender to the Company of shares of the Company previously acquired
by the Optionee and held for a period of at least six months, which shares shall
be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price has
been paid thereby, at their fair market value (determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company) on the date of exercise; or (iv) by a combination of
the foregoing methods. If the person exercising the Option is not the Optionee,
such person shall also deliver with the notice of exercise appropriate proof of
his or her right to exercise the Option. An attempt to exercise the Option
-3-
granted hereunder other than as set forth above shall be invalid and of no force
and effect. Promptly after exercise of the Option as provided above, the Company
shall deliver to the person exercising the Option a certificate or certificates
for the Option Shares being purchased. Upon acceptance of payment of the Option
Price by the Company, Optionee shall execute the Operating Agreement of the
Company then in effect (the "Operating Agreement") and shall become subject to
all of the rights, restrictions and limitations of a shareholder of the Company.
4. TRANSFERABILITY
4.1. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS
During the lifetime of an Optionee, only such Optionee (or, in the event of
legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee's guardian or legal
representative) may exercise the Option. No Option shall be assignable or
transferable by the Optionee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution.
4.2. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION SHARES
An Optionee (or any other person who is entitled to exercise an Option
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) shall not sell, pledge, assign, give or
otherwise transfer or dispose of any Options Shares except in accordance with

or are admitted to quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System, or are publicly traded in an established securities
market, the foregoing restrictions of this Section 4 shall terminate as of the
first date that the Shares are so listed, quoted or publicly traded.

representing Shares issued pursuant to this Option Agreement in order to give

cover such taxes from payments otherwise due and owing to the Optionee, and also
agrees that upon demand the Optionee will promptly pay to the Company any
additional amounts as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding tax
obligation. Such payment shall be made in cash or by certified check payable to
the order of the Company, or, at the discretion of the Company, may be made by
withholding Option Shares upon exercise sufficient to cover the tax liability.
7. DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS

Optionee the right to be employed by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate,
