                  of any Company benefit plans in which you have been or
                  currently are a participant. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the
                  Company has agreed that you may keep your laptop computer.

         -        Your benefits under the Company's medical and dental plans
                  will terminate effective September 30, 2001. Your rights to
                  continue medical and/or dental benefits under the COBRA
                  statute will commence on October 1, 2001 and entitle you to
                  participate in the Company`s group health insurance plan under
                  the terms of this statute. Documents describing COBRA and
                  notifying you of your rights there under are attached. Should
                  you elect COBRA, the Company will pay the premiums through
                  December 31, 2001, after which time you are responsible for
                  such payments.

         -        Your benefits under the Company's life and long-term
                  disability insurance group plans will terminate on the
                  Separation Date and may be converted to individual polices in
                  accordance with the terms of such plans. Information regarding
                  the terms of their conversions is attached. Please note, for
                  LTD conversion there is a minimum of 12 months employment with
                  SilverStream eligibility requirement.

         -        If you are currently participating in the Employee Stock
                  Purchase Plan (ESPP), any cash in your account as of the
                  Separation Date will be refunded to you in your final pay.

                  401(k) Distribution form to indicate how you would like to
                  handle your 401(k) account. Please note, if the balance of
                  your 401(k) account is less than $5,000, our plan requires you
                  to take a lump sum distribution. In order to avoid a forced
                  distribution initiated by SilverStream, it is important you
                  complete the attached distribution form to insure proper
                  handling of your funds. If the balance exceeds $5,000, you may
                  elect to leave your 401(k) assets in the SilverStream Plan.

         -        You will cease vesting in your SilverStream stock options as
                  of the Separation Date. You will have up to 90 days following
                  the Separation Date in which to exercise any vested options.
                  After such 90-day period, your remaining options will be
                  cancelled. You agree that you will not take any action to
                  exercise such options after such 90-day period.

         -        You agree that you will not individually, nor will you direct,
                  cause or encourage, your agents, family members or other
                  representatives, or those acting on your behalf, to denigrate
                  or disparage the Company or its current or former directors,
                  shareholders, officers, or employees. Should you be determined
                  by a court of competent jurisdiction to have breached this
                  provision, you will be held liable for any and all damages
                  incurred that were occasioned by that breach including
                  attorneys' fees and costs incurred in enforcing this
                  provision.

         -        The existence of this Agreement and the terms hereof are to be
                  treated as confidential and you shall not disclose the
                  existence of this Agreement or the terms hereof without the
                  prior written consent of the Company except to your tax and
                  financial advisors in connection with their professional
                  services rendered to you.

         -        You acknowledge and reaffirm any and all continuing
                  obligations you have to SilverStream under your SilverStream
                  Standard Employee Agreement and agree that such agreement and
                  your obligations thereunder are not superseded by this
                  Agreement; provided, however, that SilverStream waives its
                  rights under Section 3(a) of your SilverStream Standard
                  Employee Agreement and agrees that such Section 3(a) shall
                  hereupon automatically terminate and be of no further force
                  and effect.

         -        You agree that this Agreement and the payment to you of
                  severance pay hereunder is not and is not intended to be an
                  admission of liability on the part of the Company and shall
                  not be construed as an admission by the Company of any
                  violation of its policies or procedures or any federal, state
                  or local law, regulation or rule.

         -        You agree that this Agreement shall take effect as an
                  instrument under seal and shall be governed by the laws of the
                  Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The provisions of this
                  Agreement are severable, and if for any reason any part hereof
                  shall be found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions
                  shall be enforced in full.

         -        Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement supersedes
                  any and all prior oral and/or written agreements, including
                  any agreements contained in the certain letter dated November
                  12, 2000 from Charles C. Cabot III to you, and sets forth the
                  entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to
                  your separation from the Company.

The Company wants to be certain that you understand and agree with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Therefore, the Company encourages you to study the
Agreement carefully and to seek the advice of an attorney before signing it.
Your eligibility to receive the separation pay described herein is contingent
upon your signing this Agreement. By signing this Agreement you acknowledge that
you have been afforded sufficient time to understand the provisions and effects
of this Agreement and that your acceptance of the terms of this Agreement is
knowing, voluntary and without duress.

If you wish to accept the severance payment in accordance with the terms stated
in this Agreement, please return one signed copy of this letter to Karen
McCarthy in the Human Resources department by 5:00 p.m., September 21, 2001 (21
days from the date you receive the Agreement). You will have 7 days to revoke
your signature after signing the Agreement. If you intend to revoke your
signature, you should do so in writing addressed to me at the Company. This
Agreement will not become effective until the eighth day after you sign the
Agreement. The severance payment will be made in the first SilverStream payroll
to occur after the Agreement becomes effective and after you have returned all
Company property and transferred to the Company any critical information that
may be in your possession.

Sincerely,

/s/ Charles C. Cabot III
