                         AND GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS
                         -----------------------------

1.   Sujata Luther ("Employee") was employed by Brio Technology, Inc. (the
"Company") on or about June 12, 2000. Employee has now decided to resign from
her employment with the Company. It is the Company's desire to provide Employee
with certain benefits that she would not otherwise be entitled to receive upon
her resignation and to resolve any claims that Employee has or may have against
the Company. Accordingly, Employee and the Company agree as set forth below.
This Agreement will become effective on the eighth day after it is signed by
Employee (the "Effective Date"), provided that Employee has not revoked this
Agreement (by written notice to Nancy Raab at the Company) prior to that date.

2.   Employee hereby resigns voluntarily from her employment with the Company
effective as of March 30, 2001 (the "Resignation Date"). During the period
between the Effective Date and the Resignation Date (the "Transition Period"),
Employee will continue to perform her duties for the Company in a professional
and satisfactory manner.

3.   During the Transition Period, the Company will provide Employee with the
following compensation and benefits:

     (a)  continued payment of Employee's salary at her current base salary rate
          ($20,833.33 per month), less applicable withholdings; and
     (b)  any stock options granted to Employee by the Company will continue to
          vest through the Resignation Date (but not thereafter) in accordance
          with the terms of the applicable stock option agreements between
          Employee and the Company; and
     (c)  Employee will continue to be covered by the Company's group health
          insurance plan through March 30, 2001; thereafter, Employee may elect
          to purchase continued group health insurance coverage at her own
          expense in accordance with COBRA; and
     (d)  the Company will continue to provide Employee with the employment
          fringe benefits that she is currently receiving from the Company.

4.   Following the Resignation Date, as consideration of the release of claims
below, the Company shall provide Employee with the following benefits when this
Agreement becomes effective:
     (a)  the Company hereby waives its rights to recover all or any part of the
          signing bonus and/or relocation expense advance that the Company
          provided to Employee pursuant to her employment agreements of May 17
          and 31, 2000;

     Employee further acknowledges that she is responsible for any and all
relocation expenses in excess of the $6,550.21 including the monetary amount
itemized on the ACE Relocation Systems, Inc. invoice as set forth in Annex 1;
and Employee acknowledges that she has been paid all wages and accrued, unused
vacation that Employee earned during her employment with the Company. Employee
understands and acknowledges that she shall not be entitled to any payments or
benefits from the Company other than those expressly set forth in this paragraph
4.

5.   Employee and her successors release the Company and its shareholders,
investors, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, insurers, legal
successors and assigns of and from any and all claims, actions and causes of
action, whether now known or unknown, which Employee now has, or at any other
time had, or shall or may have against the released parties based upon or
arising out of any matter, cause, fact, thing, act or omission whatsoever
occurring or existing at any time up to and including the Resignation Date,
including, but not limited to, any claims of breach of contract, wrongful
termination, retaliation, fraud, defamation, infliction of emotional distress or
national origin, race, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability or other
discrimination or harassment under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age
Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act,
the Fair Employment and Housing Act or any other applicable law.

6.   Employee acknowledges that she has read section 1542 of the Civil Code of
the State of California, which states in full: A general release does not extend
to claims, which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his
<PAGE>

favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have
materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

     Employee waives any rights that she has or may have under section 1542 to
the full extent that she may lawfully waive such rights pertaining to this
general release of claims, and affirms that she is releasing all known and
unknown claims that she has or may have against the parties listed above.

7.   Employee acknowledges and agrees that she shall continue to be bound by and
comply with the terms of any proprietary rights or confidentiality agreements
between the Company and Employee.

8.   Employee agrees that she shall not directly or indirectly disclose any of
the terms of this Agreement to anyone other than her immediate family or
counsel, except as such disclosure may be required for accounting or tax
reporting purposes or as otherwise may be required by law. Employee further
agrees that she will not, at any time in the future, make any critical or
disparaging statements about the Company, its products or its employees, unless
such statements are made truthfully in response to a subpoena or other legal
process.

9.   Employee agrees that for a period of 12 months following the Resignation
Date, she will not, on behalf of herself or any other person or entity, directly
or indirectly solicit any employee of the Company to terminate his/her
employment with the Company.

10.  In the event of any legal action relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing
party its attorneys' fees and costs incurred in that action.

11.  If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal
and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected.

12.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations and
agreements, whether written or oral, with the exception of any agreements
described in paragraph 7. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except
by a document signed by an authorized officer of the Company and Employee.

                       CONFIDENTIAL SEPARATION AGREEMENT
                       ---------------------------------
                         AND GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS
                         -----------------------------

     1.  Scott Chalmers ("Employee") was employed by Brio Technology, Inc. (the
"Company") on or about August 3, 1999.  Employee and the Company have now
mutually agreed to terminate Employee's employment with the Company.  It is the
Company's desire to provide Employee with certain benefits and to resolve any
claims that Employee has or may have against the Company.  Accordingly, Employee
and the Company agree as set forth below.  This Agreement will become effective
on the eighth day after it is signed by Employee (the "Effective Date"),
provided that Employee has not revoked this Agreement (by written notice to
Nancy Raab or Amanda Willson at the Company) prior to that date.

     2.  Employee agrees to resign his position as an officer of the Company
(Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales) and to terminate his employment with
the Company as of March 31, 2001 (the "Resignation Date").  Notwithstanding such
resignation, Employee agrees to make himself available to provide transition
assistance to the Company's Executive Vice President, Sales during the month of
April 2001.

     3.  In consideration for the release of claims and other obligations set
forth in this Agreement, the Company will provide Employee with the following
severance benefits in connection with and/or following the Resignation Date:

         (a) The Company will continue payment of Employee's salary at his
current monthly base salary rate ($19,166.66), less applicable withholding, to
employee, or in the event of his death, to his heirs or assigns, through March
31, 2002, which salary shall be paid on the regular payroll dates set by the
Company;

         (b) To the extent that Employee earns any bonuses/commissions pursuant
to Employee's Compensation Plan ("Fiscal Year '01 - April 1, 2000 to March 31,
2001") on or before the end of fiscal year 2001, the Company will pay such
bonuses/commissions to Employee in accordance with the Company's normal
operating procedures;

         (c) The Company will pay Employee a bonus of $31,000 (reduced by
applicable withholding at the time of payment), which bonus will be paid on
April 30, 2001;

         (d) The Company will accelerate the vesting and exercisability of the
Company stock options held by Employee such that the number of shares set forth
in the column entitled "Vested" on the Personnel Option Status summaries
attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement are vested and exercisable by Employee
            ---------
as of the Resignation Date.  In accordance with the terms of the applicable
stock option agreements between Employee and the Company, the vested options
shall remain exercisable (to the extent not already exercised by Employee)
through the end of the Consulting Period described in section 4 below, and after
the end of the consulting period pursuant to the terms of the governing stock
option agreement;
<PAGE>

          (e) Employee will continue to be covered by the Company's group health
insurance plan through the Resignation Date.  After such date, Employee may
elect to purchase continued group health insurance coverage in accordance with
COBRA.  In the event that Employee elects such COBRA benefits, the Company will
reimburse Employee for the premiums paid for the first 6 months of coverage.
Following the Resignation Date, Employee will not be eligible to participate in
any other benefit programs provided to Employee prior to such date or any other
benefit program provided by the Company to its employees;

          (f) Employee will retain possession of his laptop computer once it has
been reviewed and scrubbed and all proprietary information has been removed by
the IT Department; and

          (g) The Company will continue to provide Employee with a voicemail box
on its voicemail system and an email account on its email system through the
earlier of September 30, 2001 or upon the Employee securing another job;
provided however that Employee's use of the voicemail and email systems shall be
appropriate and in accordance with Brio stated policies.

     4.   From April 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002 (the "Consulting
Period"), the Company agrees to retain Employee and Employee agrees to make
himself available at least one day per week to provide consulting services for
the Company, as requested from time to time by the Company. As consideration for
such services, the Company will pay Employee a $3,850 monthly retainer fee for
the duration of the Consulting Period, payable each month within five (5)
business days following submission of an invoice by Employee. This amount shall
be in addition to any payments set forth in Paragraph 3 (a).

5.   In the event of change of control, the Company agrees the new entity will
assume all the obligations under this agreement.

     6.   In consideration for the benefits to be provided to Employee by the
Company under this Agreement, Employee and his successors release the Company
and its shareholders, investors, directors, officers, employees, agents,
attorneys, insurers, legal successors and assigns of and from any and all
claims, actions and causes of action, whether now known or unknown, which
Employee now has, or at any other time had, or shall or may have against those
released parties based upon or arising out of Employee's employment with the
Company, the termination of his employment with the Company, or any matter,
cause, fact, thing, act or omission whatsoever occurring or existing at any time
up to and including the date of this Agreement, including, but not limited to,
any claims of breach of contract, wrongful termination, retaliation, fraud,
defamation, infliction of emotional distress or national origin, race, age, sex,
sexual orientation, disability or other discrimination or harassment under the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, the
Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Employment and Housing Act or any
other applicable law, excluding any rights to indemnification provided under the
terms of the indemnification agreement entered into by and between the Company
and Employee in 1999 or under applicable state law.

     7.   Employee acknowledges that he has read section 1542 of the Civil Code
of the State of California, which states in full:

          A general release does not extend to claims, which the creditor does
          not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the
          release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
          settlement with the debtor.

                                      -2-

Employee waives any rights that he has or may have under section 1542 or any
similar provisions of the laws of any other jurisdiction, including Colorado, to
the full extent that he may lawfully waive such rights pertaining to this
general release of claims, and affirms that he is releasing all known and
unknown claims that he has or may have against the parties listed above.

     8.   Employee acknowledges and agrees that he shall continue to be bound by
and comply with the terms of "Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement" he executed as an employee of Sqribe.  Employee further acknowledges
and agrees that he will continue to maintain the confidentiality of all
confidential and proprietary information of the Company and that he shall not
intentionally divulge, furnish or make available to any party any of the trade
secrets, patents, patent applications, price decisions or determinations,
inventions, customers, proprietary information or other intellectual property of
the Company, until after such time as such information has become publicly known
otherwise than by act of collusion of Employee.

     9.   Employee acknowledges and agrees that through the end of the
Consulting Period he will not provide services to any competitor of the Company
who engages in the business of analytical applications, analytical tools, query
and reporting tools, dashboard building and delivery and business intelligence
software including but not limited, to the following companies: Cognos Inc.,
Business Objects, Viador, Actuate, Seagate, MicroStratagies, Informatica,
Alphablox, E.piphany, Hyperion Solutions and Plum Tree.

     10.  Employee agrees that he shall not directly or indirectly disclose any
of the terms of this Agreement to anyone other than his immediate family or
counsel, except as such disclosure may be required for accounting or tax
reporting purposes or as otherwise may be required by law.  Employee further
agrees that he will not, at any time in the future, make any critical or
disparaging statements about the Company, its products or its employees, unless
such statements are made truthfully in response to a subpoena or other legal
process.

     11.  If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal
and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected.

     12.  In the event of any dispute or claim relating to or arising out of
Employee's employment relationship with the Company, this Agreement, or the
termination of Employee's employment with the Company (including, but not
limited to, any claims of breach of contract, wrongful termination or age, sex,
race, national origin, disability or other discrimination or harassment),
Employee and the Company agree that all such disputes shall be fully, finally
and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration conducted by the American
Arbitration Association in Santa Clara County, California.  Employee and the
Company hereby waive their respective rights to have any such disputes or claims
tried to a judge or jury.  Provided, however, that this arbitration provision
shall not apply to any claims for injunctive relief by either the Company or
Employee.

     13.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations
and agreements, whether written or oral, with the exception of any agreements
