Dear Caroline:

It is my pleasure to offer you the position of Chief Financial Officer with
PEOPLESUPPORT, INC. ("the Company"), reporting to Lance Rosenzweig, CEO. Please
note that this offer letter is subject to final reference checking and approval
of the PeopleSupport Board of Directors. In the role of CFO you will be based in
Los Angeles and your primary responsibilities will include, but are not limited
to, all aspects of the management of the global financial function. We
anticipate occasional travel. This letter will confirm all terms of your offer
of employment with PeopleSupport. Such terms are as follows:

1. COMPENSATION: In consideration of your services, you will be paid a base
salary of $6,730.77 per pay period, (annualized salary of $175,000.00) payable
bi-weekly in accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices. You will
be eligible for future wage increases, at the discretion of the CEO. In addition
to your base salary, you will be included for full participation in the
Management Incentive Plan (MIP), which is currently being developed by the Board
of Directors. Please be advised, however, that because the MIP has not been
developed and/or approved by the Board of Directors and Shareholders of the
Company, the terms of the MIP are subject to change or may not be adopted at
all. I am also pleased to advise you that you will be given an allowance of up
to $10,000 for relocation expenses, to be reimbursed through standard expense
reporting procedures. In the event you voluntarily sever the employment
relationship within 12 months from your date of hire, the relocation
reimbursement is recoverable by the company at a pro-rated amount.

2. BENEFITS: You will be entitled to receive employee benefits made available by
the Company to similarly situated employees to the extent of your eligibility.
The details of our benefit program will be discussed in our Orientation
Program. Eligibility for health insurance benefits begins immediately from the
date of full time employment. As an executive of the Company, your medical and
dental benefit will be provided at no cost to you.

3. STOCK OPTIONS: The Company currently has a Stock Option Plan. Subject to
approval by the Board of Directors, you will be granted an option to purchase
250,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The Stock Option Agreement,
including the terms of

vesting and exercising, will be sent to you separately. As an executive of the
Company, your stock option agreement will contain a change of control provision.

4. CHANGE OF CONTROL: If there is a Change in Control and your employment is
terminated without Cause in connection with or within six months after the
Change in Control, the Company will provide you with six (6) months base salary
continuation, payable bi-weekly in accordance with the Company's standard
payroll practices.

"Change in Control" means any of the following:

         (1) The merger, consolidation, or other reorganization, with or into,
             or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's business
             and/or assets as an entirety to, one or more entities that are not
             subsidiaries (a "Business Combination"), unless (A) as a result of
             the Business Combination at least 50% of the outstanding securities
             voting generally in the election of directors of the surviving or
             resulting entity or a parent thereof (the "Successor Entity")
             immediately after the reorganization are, or will be, owned,
             directly or indirectly, in substantially the same proportions, by
             stockholders of the Company immediately before the Business
             Combination; (B) no person (excluding the Successor Entity or an
             Excluded Person) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more
             than 20% of the outstanding shares of the combined voting power of
             the outstanding voting securities of the Successor Entity, after
             giving effect to the Business Combination, except to the extent
             that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination; and
             (C) at least 50% of the members of the board of directors of the
             entity resulting from the Business Combination were members of the
             Board of Directors at the time of the execution of the initial
             agreement or of the action of the Board of Directors approving the
             Business Combination.

             For purposes of this definition, the stockholders before and after
             the Business Combination shall be determined on the presumptions
             that (i) there is no change in the record ownership of the
             Company's securities from the record date for such approval until
             the consummation of the Business Combination; and (ii) record
             owners, other than affiliates of the Company, securities of the
             Company hold no securities of the other parties to such
             reorganization.

             For purposes of this definition the term "Excluded Person" means
             (i) any person described in and satisfying the conditions of Rule
             13d-1(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
             from time to time (the "Exchange Act"), (ii) any person who is the
             beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act)
             of more than 10% of the outstanding Shares of Common Stock at the
             time of the Change of Control (or an affiliate, suceessor, heir,
             descendant or related party of or to any such person), (iii) the
             Company, or (iv) an employee

                                                                          page 2

             benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the
             Company or the Successor Entity.

         (2) Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
             the Exchange Act) other than an Excluded Person becomes the
             beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),

             more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's then
             outstanding securities entitled to then vote generally in the
             election of directors of the Company, other than as a result of (A)
             an acquisition directly from the Company, (B) an acquisition by the
             Company, (C) an acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or
             related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or a
             Successor Entity, or (D) an acquisition by any entity pursuant to a
             transaction which is expressly excluded under paragraph (1) above.

             "Cause" means: (1) conviction of a felony involving moral
             turpitude; (2) commission of any act of criminal fraud,
             misappropriation of funds or embezzlement in connection with your
             employment by the Company or a subsidiary; or (3) breach of any
