<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Dear Mike:</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Siebel Systems, Inc. (the "Company") is pleased to offer you the position of Chief Executive Officer.  As Chief Executive Officer, you will report directly to the Board of Directors.   You agree to perform the duties set forth in the next sentence, as well as any other reasonable duties determined by the Board of Directors.  The parties' initial expectations regarding the primary duties of this position are as follows: (i) all duties, authorities and responsibilities customary for a chief executive officer of a public company, including executive responsibility for developing strategic direction and all operational and execution activities of the Company, (ii) ultimate management responsibility for all employees of the Company, other than those employees reporting to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and (iii) preparation and submission of a revised operating budget to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis, which shall serve to provide the scope of operational authority.  While you remain an employee of the Company, the Company will recommend that you be elected as a member of the Company's Board of Directors at no additional compensation.  You will resign from the Board upon termination of employment, unless requested to continue.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Salary and Bonus</P>
</U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Your starting salary will be $1,000,000 per year, paid on a semi-monthly basis.  You will be eligible to receive a target bonus of up to 125% of your base salary per year in the event the Board determines that you have achieved the performance objectives to be determined by the Board.  This bonus may be increased up to 200% of your base salary per year in the event the Board determines that you have substantially exceeded certain additional performance objectives established by the Board, in a manner consistent with market practices.  Such bonuses are earned and paid at the discretion of the Board.  The Company will endeavor to pay any bonus amounts determined by the Board in accordance with the foregoing within ninety (90) days after the end of the fiscal year.  During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, you will be guaranteed to receive a bonus equal to the amount payable at the 125% level. </P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Stock Options</P>
</U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">In addition, you will be granted stock options totaling 2,000,000 shares of Company common stock (the "Option"), subject to approval by the Board of Directors.  The Option will be granted at the first meeting of the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee following your first day of employment, with a strike price equal to the fair market value on that date.  The Option will have a 5-year vesting schedule, such that the option will vest 20% upon your first anniversary of employment with the Company and 5% each quarter thereafter.  This option will vest in its entirety upon death during your employment with the Company.  The agreement embodying this stock option shall be consistent with the Company's standard form agreement, modified as necessary to incorporate the terms of this letter agreement.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Restricted Stock</P>
</U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Upon commencement of your employment on or before May 3, 2004, you will also be given a restricted stock award of 350,000 shares of common stock.  You will be required to hold 200,000 of these shares for at least two years following your start date.  In the event you voluntarily resign your employment with the Company during such two year period, you will be required to forfeit such shares.   In the event you are terminated without cause (as defined below) or in the event of a change of control (as defined below) during such two year period, such holding restriction will immediately expire.  The agreement embodying this restricted stock award shall be consistent with the Company's standard form agreement, modified as necessary to incorporate the terms of this letter agreement.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Indemnification</P></U>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The parties acknowledge that they have no reason to believe that you are contractually prohibited by your current employer, International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM"), from accepting employment with the Company as outlined herein.  The parties also believe that the Company is not a competitor of IBM for purposes of impacting your ability to retain the proceeds of your IBM option exercises.  However, in the unlikely event that IBM incorrectly asserts that the Company is a competitor for purposes of such option exercises and is able to get a court of competent and final jurisdiction to enforce that assertion in a manner that causes you to irretrievably lose the right to retain the proceeds of such option exercises, the Company will reimburse you for such lost amount, up to a maximum of $6 million.  The parties agree that this promise is made solely to help you bear the risk of an erroneous assertion and enforcement, and not as an inducement for you to breach any obligations you may have to IBM.  You agree to cooperate fully in any legal actions to avoid this loss.  You also agree to cooperate with the Company in the acquisition of an insurance policy to cover this risk, if the Company chooses in its sole discretion to acquire such a policy; however, the foregoing shall not be construed as requiring any responsibility on your part to pay premiums or other monetary costs related to such policy.  In the event you voluntarily resign your employment with the Company during the two (2) year period following the commencement of your employment, the foregoing indemnity shall then terminate and you will be required to return immediately to the Company the entirety of any indemnity payments made to you on or before the effective date of such resignation.  </P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Additionally, the Company will defend and indemnify you against any claims arising from any decision made by you in good faith while performing services for the Company.  </P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Severance Benefits</P></U>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">You will be entitled to the following severance benefits, subject to your execution of a release of claims and two-year non-competition agreement in forms satisfactory to the Company or its successor(s)¹:</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">__________________________</P>
<dir><dir>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">¹  Such non-competition agreement will include a specific list of the Company's then-current primary competitors, and shall be restricted to such list.  For reference purposes only, the Company currently considers the following companies to be its primary competitors: Microsoft Corporation; Oracle Corporation; PeopleSoft, Inc.; Salesforce.com, Inc.; and SAP AG. All other terms of such release and non-competition agreements will be negotiated in good faith between the parties at the time of severance, with the intent of structuring an agreement that is (i) consistent with then-applicable industry standards and (ii) effective and enforceable under applicable law.  In the event the parties are unable to agree on a particular term, they agree to seek the advice of a neutral third party benefits expert to help determine the applicable industry standards regarding such term.  You agree not to challenge the effectiveness or enforceability of such release and non-competition agreements, either directly or indirectly, in your individual capacity or through any subsequent employer or other third party.  Similarly, the Company agrees not to challenge the effectiveness or enforceability of such release and non-competition agreements as a means of avoiding payment of any severance benefits. </P></dir></dir>
