Mr. George Kadifa

Dear George:

On behalf of Corio, Incorporated ("Corio" or the "Company") and its Board
of Directors, I am pleased to offer you employment on the terms and conditions
stated in this letter. Corio is offering you the position of President and Chief
Executive Officer, working out of the Company's headquarters in Redwood City,
California. Assuming that you accept the terms of employment described in this
letter, and subject to appropriate shareholder and Board of Director consents,
you would also become a member of the Board of Directors of Corio. Subject to
fulfillment of the conditions imposed by this letter agreement, you will start
in this new position on or before August 1, 1999 (the "Start Date").

You will be paid a monthly salary of $25,000.00, which is equivalent to
$300,000.00 on an annualized basis. Your salary will be payable according to
regular payroll policy.

During the first year following the Start Date, you will be eligible to
receive a performance bonus of $100,000.00 based on mutually agreed upon
objectives. After the first year, the amount of your bonus eligibility and the
relevant bonus objectives will be determined by the Board of Directors.

On your Start Date, I will recommend that the Board of Directors grant you an
incentive stock option to purchase the equivalent of 7% of the Company's shares
(1,100,000 shares), of the Company's Common Stock at a purchase price equal to
the fair market value on the date of the grant and also give you the option to
purchase the equivalent of 7% of the Company's shares of any future finance
rounds prior to an IPO. Your right to the shares will be subject to vesting over
a four-year period, with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of your Start Date
and the balance in 36 equal monthly installments following such anniversary
date.

In the event that you are terminated involuntarily without cause during the
first year of your employment, the Company shall be obligated to pay you salary
and bonus continuance for twelve (12) months, and you will be entitled to vest
1/48th of the shares subject to your option for each month you were
employed with the Company. In the event that you are terminated involuntarily
without cause after the first year of your employment, the Company shall be
obligated to pay your salary continuance for up to six (6) months, provided that
if you start employment at another company during this six (6) month period the
salary continuance will cease. The foregoing shall constitute all of the
severance and other benefits to which you are entitled on any termination of
employment, except as may otherwise be provided by written policies of the
Company. For purposes of this offer letter, the term termination "with cause"
shall mean termination of your employment by reason of: (i) your commission of
any act of fraud with respects to the company or the Company's business; (ii)
your conviction in connection with or being formally charged with the commission
of a felony or any crime which, in the good faith judgment of the Company's
Board of Directors, involved moral turpitude and has caused or will cause
material harm to the standing and/or reputation of the Company; (iii) your
violation of the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, or any
misappropriation and/or intentional or unauthorized disclosure of the Company's
confidential and/or proprietary information, (iv) your use of drugs or any
illegal substance, or use of alcohol in any manner that interfere with the
performance of your duties; and/or (v) your chronic absence from work for
reasons other than illness.

Corio will provide you with standard medical and dental benefits according to
the Company's current policies.

Your employment with Corio, should you accept this offer, will not be for any
specific term and may be terminated at any time, with or without cause and with
or without notice, by you or by the Company for any reason. Any contrary
representations or agreements which may have been made to you are superseded by
this offer. The at-will nature of your employment described in this offer letter
shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Corio concerning the
duration of your employment and the circumstances under which either you or the
Company may terminate the employment relationship. No person affiliated with
Corio has the authority to enter into any oral agreement that changes the
at-will status of employment with the Company. The at-will term of your employment
with the Company can only be changed in a writing signed by you and the
Chairperson of the Company's Board of Directors, which expressly states the
intention to modify the at-will term of your employment.

By signing below and accepting this offer, you acknowledge and agree that
length of employment, promotions, positive performance reviews, pay increases,
bonuses, increases in job duties or responsibilities and other changes during
employment will not change the at will term of your employment with Corio and
will not create any implied contract requiring cause for termination of
employment.

Your employment pursuant to this offer is contingent upon your executing the
enclosed Proprietary Information and Inventions and upon your providing the
Company with the legally-required proof of your identity and authorization to
work in the United States.

As an employee of Corio, you will be required to comply with all Company
policies and procedures. In particular, you will be required to familiarize
yourself with and to comply with Corio's policy prohibiting unlawful harassment
and discrimination and the policy concerning drugs and alcohol. Violations of
these policies may lead to immediate termination of employment.

If you wish to accept this offer, please sign below and return the fully
executed letter to us, along with the executed Proprietary Information and
Inventions Agreement. You should keep one copy of this letter for your own
records. This offer, if not accepted, will expire on June 21, 1999.

We are looking forward to having you join us at Corio. If you have any
questions, please call me at 650-233-3387.

Very truly yours,

Corio, Inc.
