    1999 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN    
  


        The following constitute the provisions of the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of TenFold Corporation: 


        1.    Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its Designated
Subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the Company. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an "Employee Stock Purchase Plan" under Section 423 of
the Code. The provisions of the Plan shall, accordingly, be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of that section of the Code. 


        2.    Definitions.

an Employee shall not be considered interrupted in the case of (i) sick leave; (ii) military leave; (iii) any other leave of absence approved by the Administrator, provided that

eligible to participate in the Plan; provided however that the Board shall only have the discretion to designate Subsidiaries if the issuance of options to such Subsidiary's Employees pursuant to the
Plan would not cause the Company to incur adverse accounting charges.

than five (5) months in a calendar year by the Company or one of its Designated Subsidiaries.

first business day of such fourth 






 



calendar month coinciding with or next succeeding the day on which that individual becomes an eligible Employee. 





        Options
granted after the first business day of an Offering Period will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the options granted on the first business day of such Offering
Period except that they will have a different grant date (and thus, potentially, a different Purchase Price) and, because they expire at the same time as the options granted on the first business day
of such Offering Period, a shorter term.

the first Offering Period as set forth in Section 4(a).

Section 7(b) below) of a Share of Common Stock on the Offering Date or on the Purchase Date, whichever is lower; provided, however, that in the event (i) of any increase in the number of
Shares available for issuance under the Plan (including without limitation an automatic increase pursuant to Section 12(a) below or as a result of a stockholder-approved amendment to the Plan),
and (ii) all or a portion of such additional Shares are to be issued with respect to an Offering Period that is underway at the time of such increase ("Additional
Shares"), and (iii) the Fair Market Value of a Share of Common Stock on the date of such increase (the "Increase Date Fair Market
Value") is higher than the Fair Market Value on the Offering Date for any such Offering Period, then in such instance the Purchase Price with respect to Additional Shares shall
be 85% of the Increase Date Fair Market Value or the Fair Market Value of a Share of Common Stock on the Purchase Date, whichever is lower.



	(q)
	"Share" means a share of Common Stock, as adjusted in accordance with Section 18 of the Plan.



	(r)
	"Subsidiary" means a corporation, domestic or foreign, of which not less than 50% of the voting shares are held by the Company or a
Subsidiary, whether or not such corporation now exists or is hereafter organized or acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary.

	(a)
	Any
person who is an Employee as of the Offering Date of a given Offering Period shall be eligible to participate in such Offering Period under the Plan, subject to the requirements
of Section 5(a) and the limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Code.



	(b)
	Any
provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) if, immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any
other person whose stock would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of the Company and/or hold outstanding options to purchase stock
possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) if such option would permit
his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans (described in Section 423 of the Code) of the Company and its Subsidiaries to accrue at a rate which exceeds
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) of the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 7(b) below) of such stock (determined at the time such option is granted) for each calendar
year in which such option is outstanding at any time.

        4.    Offering Periods. The Plan shall be implemented by a series of Offering Periods, with new Offering
Periods commencing on or about February 1 and August 1 of each year (or at such other time or times as may be determined by the Board of Directors). The first Offering Period shall
commence on the beginning of the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock (the
"IPO Date") and continue until January 31, 1999. The Plan shall continue until terminated in accordance with Section 19 hereof. The Board
of Directors of the Company shall have the power to change the duration and/or the frequency of Offering Periods with respect to future offerings without stockholder approval if such change is
announced at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected. 


        5.    Participation.



	(a)
	An
eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by completing a subscription agreement on the form provided by the Company and filing it with the Company's payroll office
prior to the applicable Offering Date, unless a later time for filing the subscription agreement is set by the Board for all eligible Employees with respect to a given Offering Period. The
subscription agreement shall set forth the percentage of the participant's Compensation (subject to Section 6(a) below) to be paid as Contributions pursuant to the Plan.



	(b)
	Payroll
deductions shall commence on the first payroll following the Offering Date and shall end on the last payroll paid on or prior to the Purchase Date of the Offering Period to
which the subscription agreement is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10. 




        6.    Method of Payment of Contributions.



	(a)
	A
participant shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each payday during the Offering Period in an amount not less than one percent (1%) and not more than ten percent (10%) (or
such greater percentage as the Board may establish from time to time before an Offering Date, which percentage shall not exceed twenty percent (20%)) of such participant's Compensation on each payday
during the Offering Period. All payroll deductions made by a participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan. A participant may not make any additional payments into such account.



	(b)
	A
participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10, or, on one occasion only during the Offering Period may increase and on one
occasion only during the Offering Period may decrease the rate of his or her Contributions with respect to the Offering Period by completing and filing with the Company a new subscription agreement
authorizing a change in the payroll deduction rate. The change in rate shall be effective as of the beginning of the next calendar month following the date of filing of the new subscription agreement,
if the agreement is filed at least ten (10) business days prior to such date and, if not, as of the beginning of the next succeeding calendar month.



	(c)
	Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) herein, a participant's payroll deductions may be
decreased during any Offering Period scheduled to end during the current calendar year to 0% at such time that the aggregate of all payroll deductions accumulated with respect to such Offering Period
and any other Offering Period ending within the same calendar year equal $21,250. Payroll deductions shall re-commence at the rate provided in such participant's subscription agreement at
the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10. 




        7.    Grant of Option.


-3-





 



	(a)
	On
the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on the Purchase Date for the Offering
Period a number of Shares of the Company's Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee's Contributions accumulated prior to the Purchase Date and retained in the participant's account as of the
Purchase Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided however that the maximum number of Shares an Employee may purchase during each Offering Period shall be 3,000 Shares (subject to any adjustment
pursuant to Section 18 below), and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 12.



	(b)
	The
fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on a given date (the "Fair Market Value") shall be determined by the Board in its
discretion based on the closing sales price of the Common Stock for such date (or, in the event that the Common Stock is not traded on such date, on the immediately preceding trading date), as
reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (Nasdaq) National Market or, if such price is not reported, the mean of the high bid and low asked prices per Share of
the Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq or, in the event the Common Stock is listed on a stock exchange, the Fair Market Value per share shall be the closing sales price on such exchange on such date
(or, in the event that the Common Stock is not traded on such date, on the immediately preceding trading date), as reported in The Wall Street Journal.
For purposes of the Offering Date that coincides with the IPO Date, the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock of the Company shall be the Price to Public as set forth in the final
prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 




        8.    Exercise of Option. Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10,
his or her option for the purchase of Shares will be exercised automatically on the Purchase Date of an Offering Period, and the maximum number of full Shares subject to the option will be purchased
at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated Contributions in his or her account. No fractional Shares shall be issued. The Shares purchased upon exercise of an option hereunder shall be
deemed to be transferred to the participant on the Purchase Date. During his or her lifetime, a participant's option to purchase Shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. 



        9.    Delivery. As promptly as practicable after a Purchase Date, the Company shall arrange the delivery
to each participant, as appropriate, of a certificate representing the Shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option. Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant's account which are not
sufficient to purchase a full Share shall be retained in the participant's account for the subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in Section 10
below. Any other amounts left over in a participant's account after a Purchase Date shall be returned to the participant. 



        10.    Voluntary Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.



	(a)
	A
participant may withdraw all but not less than all the Contributions credited to his or her account under the Plan at any time prior to a Purchase Date by giving written notice to
the Company. All of the participant's Contributions credited to his or her account will be paid to him or her promptly after receipt of his or her notice of withdrawal and his or her option for the
current period will be automatically terminated, and no further Contributions for the purchase of Shares will be made during the Offering Period.



	(b)
	Upon
termination of the participant's Continuous Status as an Employee prior to the Purchase Date of an Offering Period for any reason, including retirement or death, the
Contributions credited to his or her account will be returned to him or her or, in the case of 



-4-





 


his
or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 14, and his or her option will be automatically terminated. 



	(c)
	In
the event an Employee fails to remain in Continuous Status as an Employee of the Company for at least twenty (20) hours per week during an Offering Period in which the
employee is a participant, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the Contributions credited to his or her account will be returned to him or her and his or her option
terminated.



	(d)
	A
participant's withdrawal from an offering will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in a succeeding offering or in any similar plan which may hereafter be
adopted by the Company. 




        11.    Interest. No interest shall accrue on the Contributions of a participant in the Plan. 


        12.    Stock.



	(a)
	Subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 18, the maximum number of Shares which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 1,000,000 Shares, plus an annual
increase on the first day of each of the Company's fiscal years beginning in 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 equal to the lesser of (i) 300,000 Shares, (ii) three-quarters of one percent
(0.75%) of the Shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) such lesser number of Shares as is determined by the Board. If the Board determines that, on
a given Purchase Date, the number of Shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the number of Shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on
the Offering Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number of Shares available for sale under the Plan on such Purchase Date, the Board may in its sole discretion provide
(x) that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such Offering Date or Purchase Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall
be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Purchase Date, and continue the Plan as then
in effect, or (y) that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares available for purchase on such Offering Date or Purchase Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall
be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Purchase Date, and terminate the Plan
pursuant to Section 19 below. The Company may make pro rata allocation of the Shares available on the Offering Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence,
notwithstanding any authorization of additional Shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company's stockholders subsequent to such Offering Date.



	(b)
	The
participant shall have no interest or voting right in Shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised.



	(c)
	Shares
to be delivered to a participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and his or her spouse. 




        13.    Administration. The Board, or a committee named by the Board, shall supervise and administer the
Plan and shall have full power to adopt, amend and rescind any rules deemed desirable and appropriate for the administration of the Plan and not inconsistent with the Plan, to construe and interpret
the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. 


        14.    Designation of Beneficiary.


-5-





 



	(a)
	A
participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account under the Plan in the event of such
participant's death subsequent to the end of an Offering Period but prior to delivery to him or her of such Shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's death prior to the Purchase Date of an Offering Period. If a participant is
married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective.



	(b)
	Such
designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant (and his or her spouse, if any) at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant and in the
absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall deliver such Shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of
the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such Shares and/or cash to the
spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 




        15.    Transferability. Neither Contributions credited to a participant's account nor any rights with
regard to the exercise of an option or to receive Shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution, or as provided in Section 14) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat
such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Section 10. 



        16.    Use of Funds. All Contributions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the
Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such Contributions. 


        17.    Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the Plan. Statements of
account will be given to participating Employees at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of Contributions, the per Share Purchase Price, the number of Shares purchased and the
remaining cash balance, if any. 


        18.    Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions.



	(a)
	Adjustment. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by
each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but have not yet been placed under option (collectively, the
"Reserves"), as well as the maximum number of Shares of Common Stock which may be purchased by a participant in an Offering Period, the number of Shares
of Common Stock set forth in Section 12(a)(i) above, and the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common
Stock (including any such change in the number of Shares of Common Stock effected in connection with a change in domicile of the Company), or any other increase or decrease in the number of Shares
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided however that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of
consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall 



-6-





 


affect,
and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an option. 



	(b)
	Corporate Transactions. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then
in progress will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each option outstanding under the Plan
shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or Subsidiary of such successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses
to assume or substitute for outstanding options, the Offering Period then in progress shall be shortened and a new Purchase Date shall be set (the "New Purchase
Date"). The New Purchase Date shall be on or before the date of consummation of the transaction and the Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten
(10) days prior to the New Purchase Date, that the Purchase Date for his or her option has been changed to the New Purchase Date and that his or her option will be exercised automatically on
the New Purchase Date, unless prior to such date he or she
has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10. For purposes of this Section 18, an option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be assumed, without limitation, if,
at the time of issuance of the stock or other consideration upon a Corporate Transaction, each holder of an option under the Plan would be entitled to receive upon exercise of the option the same
number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the holder had been,
immediately prior to the transaction, the holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by the option at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by
the option as provided for in this Section 18); provided however that if the consideration received in the transaction is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent (as
defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), the Board may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option to be solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction. 




        The
Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each
outstanding option, in the event that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of Shares of its outstanding Common Stock,
and in the event of the Company's being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation. 


        19.    Amendment or Termination.



	(a)
	The
Board may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 18, no such termination of the Plan may affect options previously
granted, provided that the Plan or an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board on a Purchase Date or by the Board's setting a new Purchase Date with respect to an Offering Period then in
progress if the Board determines that termination of the Plan and/or the Offering Period is in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders or if continuation of the Plan and/or the Offering
Period would cause the Company to incur adverse accounting charges as a result of a change in the generally accepted accounting rules applicable to the Plan after the effective date of the Plan.
Except as provided in Section 18 and in this Section 19, no amendment to the Plan shall make any change in any option previously granted which materially and adversely affects the rights
of any participant. In addition, to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, or under Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or
provision or any applicable law or regulation), the Company shall obtain stockholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as so required. 



-7-





 



	(b)
	Without
stockholder consent and without regard to whether any participant rights may be considered to have been materially and adversely affected, the Board (or its committee) shall
be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld
in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to
adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company's processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to
ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participant's Compensation, and establish such other limitations
or procedures as the Board (or its committee) determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan. 




        20.    Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in
connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt
thereof. 


        21.    Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless
the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, applicable state securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the
Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 



        As
a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being
purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the
aforementioned applicable provisions of law. 


        22.    Term of Plan; Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective upon the IPO Date. It shall
continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 19. 



        23.    Additional Restrictions of Rule 16b-3. The terms and conditions of options
granted hereunder to, and the purchase of Shares by, persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3. This Plan
shall be deemed to contain, and such options shall contain, and the Shares issued upon exercise thereof shall be subject to, such additional conditions and restrictions as may be required by
Rule 16b-3 to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions. 



        24.    Information. Plan participants shall receive Company financial statements at least annually, plus
such other documents if any as are required under applicable law.

        8.    I
understand that if I dispose of any shares received by me pursuant to the Plan within 2 years after the Offering Date (the first day of the Offering Period
during which I purchased such shares) or within 1 year after the Purchase Date (the last day of the Offering Period), I will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received
ordinary compensation income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the Purchase Date over the price which I paid for the shares,
regardless of whether I disposed of the shares at a price less than their fair
market value at the Purchase Date. The remainder of the gain or loss, if any, recognized on such disposition will be treated as capital gain or loss. 



        I hereby agree to notify the Company in writing within 30 days after the date of any such disposition, and I will make adequate provision for federal,
state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the disposition of the Common Stock. The Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from my
compensation the amount necessary to meet any applicable withholding obligation including any withholding necessary to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to the
sale or early disposition of Common Stock by me. 


        9.    If
I dispose of such shares at any time after expiration of the 2-year and 1-year holding periods, I understand that I will be treated for federal
income tax purposes as having received compensation income only to the extent of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such
disposition over the purchase price which I paid for the shares under the option, or (2) 15% of the fair market value of the shares on the Offering Date. The remainder of the gain or loss, if
any, recognized on such disposition will be treated as capital gain or loss. 


        I understand that this tax summary is only a summary and is subject to change. I further understand that I should consult a tax advisor
concerning the tax implications of the purchase and sale of stock under the Plan.
