    Dear
      David,

    

    It
      gives me great pleasure to offer you employment with Chordiant Software, Inc
      as
      Vice President Worldwide Sales, reporting directly to Steven R. Springsteel,
      Chairman, President and CEO. The terms of your employment are detailed as
      follows:

    

    Your
      annual base salary will be $300,000.00 less payroll deductions and all required
      withholdings and will be payable bi-monthly in increments of $12,500.00 on
      the
      fifteenth and last day of each month. You will have a total bonus target equal
      to 83.33% of your base salary at 100% attainment of all objectives under
      Chordiant’s 2008 Vice President Worldwide Sales Incentive Bonus
      Program.    Under Chordiant’s 2008 Vice President Global
      Sales Incentive Bonus Program 75% of your target bonus would be earned at 100%
      achievement of Sales Plan objectives, and 25% of your target bonus would be
      earned at 100% achievement of the objectives of the 2008 Executive Incentive
      Plan. Chordiant will have the sole discretion to determine if you have earned
      this bonus and, the amount of the bonus. You must be employed by Chordiant
      on
      the date such bonuses are paid in order to earn any bonus.

    

    Subject
      to Board approval, you will be granted an option to purchase 75,000 shares
      of
      the Company’s common stock.  The option shall have an exercise price
      equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, and shall be governed
      in
      all respects by the terms of the plan documents and the option agreement between
      you and the company.

     

    In
      addition, The Company will recommend to the Compensation Committee of the Board
      of Directors that the Board grant you an award under our 2008-2009 Performance
      Share Unit Program (the "PSUP") covering 10,000 shares at target performance
      levels and 15,000 shares at maximum performance levels. This award is a
      performance-based restricted stock unit award and is granted subject to the
      terms of the PSUP and the Company's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.   The
      number of shares under the award that you actually earn and become vested in
      will be determined shortly after the close of the Company's 2009 fiscal year,
      based on the Company's achievement of the performance metrics determined under
      the PSUP and subject to your continued service to the Company through the date
      on which the Compensation Committee certifies whether the performance metrics
      have been met. 

     

    As
      an executive of the Company, you will participate in the Change in Control
      program as approved by Chordiant's Board of Directors.

      Chordiant

      2005
        Equity Incentive Plan

       

      2008-2009
        Performance Share Unit Program

       

      Adopted:  October
        11, 2007

       

      1.  Purpose.  The
        Chordiant Software, Inc. 2008-2009 Performance Share Unit Program (the
“Program”), established under the Chordiant Software, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive
        Plan (the “Plan”), is intended to provide equity incentive compensation to
        individuals who make a significant contribution to the performance of Chordiant
        Software, Inc. (the “Company”).  Program objectives are
        to:  (i) focus key Employees on achieving specific performance
        targets, (ii) reinforce a team orientation, (iii) provide significant award
        potential for achieving outstanding performance, and (iv) enhance the ability
        of
        the Company to attract and retain highly talented and competent
        individuals.

       

      2.  Definitions.

       

      Defined
        terms not explicitly defined in this Program but defined in the Plan shall
        have
        the same definitions as in the Plan.

       

      (a)  “Actual
        Award” means the number of shares of Common Stock earned by a
        Designated Participant under the Program during a Performance Period based
        on
        achievement of applicable Performance Goals and Other Performance Goals,
        as
        determined on the Certification Date.

       

      (b)  “Certification
        Date” means the date on which the Committee certifies the extent
        to which the Performance Goals have been met under the Performance Award
        Formula
        and whether any reductions in the Maximum Awards should be made on account
        of
        the degree of achievement of the Other Performance Goals or other factors
        (to
        the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code).

       

      (c)  “Designated
        Participant” means a key Employee of the
        Company who is designated by the Committee in writing to
        participate in the Program.

       

      (d)  “Maximum
        Award” means the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may
        be credited to a Designated Participant under the Program in respect of a
        specified Performance Period and issued if the applicable Performance Goals
        and
        Other Performance Goals are achieved at the levels set by the Committee during
        the applicable Performance Period and if the Designated Participant remains
        in
        Continuous Service during the entire Performance Period.

       

      (e)  “Other
        Performance Goal” means a performance goal established by the
        Committee that is not a Performance Goal established pursuant to Section
        2(kk)
        of the Plan.

       

      (f)  “Performance
        Period” means the period of time selected by the Committee over
        which the attainment of one or more Performance Goals and Other Performance
        Goals will be measured for the purpose of determining a Designated Participant’s
        right to an Actual Award.  At the discretion of the Committee, a
        Performance Period may be divided into shorter periods (for example, fiscal
        quarters of the Company) over which the attainment of one or more Performance
        Goals and Other Performance Goals will be measured.

       

      3.  How
        Awards Are Earned Under the Program.

       

      (a)  General
        Program Description.  The Program provides the
        opportunity for certain key Employees to earn shares of Common Stock based
        on
        the performance of the Company.  In general, the Committee will select
        certain key Employees to participate in the Program at the beginning of a
        Performance Period.  Upon selection to participate in the Program,
        each such Designated Participant will be granted a Maximum Award equal to
        the
        number of shares of Common Stock that can be issued under an Actual Award
        to
        such Designated Participant  if (i) specified levels of applicable
        Performance Goals are achieved during the Performance Period, (ii) the Committee
        does not reduce the Maximum Award on account of the degree of achievement
        of
        applicable Performance Goals and/or Other Performance Goals, and
        (iii) the Designated Participant remains in Continuous
        Service during the entire Performance Period and any subsequent additional
        vesting period.  If the Committee does reduce the Maximum Award on
        account of the degree of achievement of applicable Performance Goals and/or
        Other Performance Goals, the Designated Participant will be awarded a portion
        (or none) of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Maximum Award;
provided, however, that (i) if the specified level of Performance Goals
        is not achieved during the Performance Period, the Designated Participant
        will
        not receive any shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the maximum number of shares
        of
        Common Stock that a Designated Participant may receive as an Actual Award
        will
        in no event exceed the Maximum Award.  The methodology for the
        operation of the Program in terms of establishing the Maximum Award based
        on the
        levels of achievement of the Performance Goals and the determination of whether
        the Maximum Award, or some portion of it, will become payable to a Designated
        Participant as an Actual Award in respect of a Performance Period is set
        forth
        in the attached Exhibit A, as amended from time to
        time.  As required by Section 7(e) of the Plan and in accordance with
        Section 162(m) of the Code, in no event may a Maximum Award be granted to
        a
        Designated Participant such that the number of shares of Common Stock that
        could
        be earned by such Designated Participant in any calendar year under all
        Performance Stock Awards, including the Maximum Award, would exceed 3,000,000
        shares of Common Stock.

       

      (b)  Designated
        Participants.Each key Employee of the Company who is designated by
        the Committee in writing for participation in the Program for a particular
        Performance Period shall be eligible for a Maximum Award with respect to
        such
        Performance Period.  The Committee may designate a key Employee who
        commences Continuous Service after the beginning of a particular Performance
        Period as eligible to receive a prorated Maximum Award for such Performance
        Period.  The determination as to whether an individual is a Designated
        Participant shall be made by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and such
        determination shall be binding and conclusive on all persons.

       

      No
        Employee shall have any right to be a Designated Participant in the Program,
        to
        continue as a Designated Participant, or to be granted a Maximum Award or
        Actual
        Award under the Program.  The Company is not obligated to give uniform
        treatment (e.g., number of shares subject to Maximum Awards) to
        Employees or Designated Participants under the Program.  Participation
        in the Program as to a particular Performance Period does not convey any
        right
        to participate in the Program as to any other Performance Period.

       

      (c)  Performance
        Goals and Other Performance Goals.  The Performance
        Goals  and Other Performance Goals, if applicable, for a particular
        Performance Period and their relative weights, will be determined by the
        Committee, in its sole discretion. The Committee also may establish, in its
        sole
        discretion, Performance Goals and Other Performance Goals for annual, quarterly
        or other periods within the applicable Performance Period.  The
        Performance Goals and Other Performance Goals for a Performance Period or
        for
        shorter periods within a Performance Period are not required to be identical
        to
        the Performance Goals and Other Performance Goals for any other Performance
        Period or shorter period within a Performance Period.  The Committee
        may establish Performance Goals and Other Performance Goals for each Designated
        Participant or for groups of Designated Participants.

       

      4.  Other
        Program Provisions.

       

      (a)  Distribution
        of Actual Awards.  Assessment of actual performance,
        determination of Actual Awards and the distribution of shares of Common Stock
        in
        respect of Actual Awards will be subject to (i) certification by the Committee
        that the applicable Performance Goals and other terms of the Program have
        been
        met, (ii) the Committee’s determination as to the appropriate reductions, if
        any, in the amounts of the Maximum Awards in arriving at the amounts of the
        Actual Awards, based on the levels of achievement of applicable Performance
        Goals, Other Performance Goals and/or other factors, and (iii) the completion
        of
        any subsequent additional vesting period.  Unless an Actual Award is
        subject to additional vesting conditions following the Certification Date
        (as
        provided in Exhibit A), shares of Common Stock that are
        credited to a Designated Participant as an Actual Award on the Certification
        Date will be fully vested as of the Certification Date.  In all cases,
        vested shares will be distributed to the Designated Participant (or the
        Designated Participant’s heirs in the case of death) within thirty (30) days
        following the vesting date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
        Company has provided a Designated Participant with a plan or program by which
        to
        defer distribution of such shares of Common Stock and the Designated Participant
        has made an effective election to defer such distribution under such plan
        or
        program, such shares will be distributed to the Designated Participant (or
        the
        Designated Participant’s heirs in the case of death) in accordance with such
        election.  Notwithstanding the distribution of the shares, the
        Committee may determine that any shares issued under an Actual Award may
        not be
        immediately sold or transferred by the Designated Participant and must instead
        be held for a pre-determined period of time.  The Company shall have
        the right to withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the
        Designated Participant in satisfaction of any federal, state or local tax
        withholding obligation relating to the delivery of Common Stock under the
        Actual
        Award, but the Company shall not withhold a number of shares with a fair
        market
        value in excess of the applicable tax withholdings determined by
        application of the minimum required statutory rates.

       

      (b)  Employment
        and Termination.  In order to receive shares of Common
        Stock in respect of an Actual Award under the Program, a Designated Participant
        must remain in Continuous Service during the entire Performance Period, and
        for
        any subsequent additional vesting period, except as otherwise provided under
        the
        terms of the applicable Award Agreement.

       

      (c)  No
        Employment or Service Rights.  Nothing in the Program or
        any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant to the Program shall (i)
        confer upon any Employee or Designated Participant any right to continue
        to be
        retained in the employ or service of the Company, (ii) change the at-will
        employment relationship between the Company and an Employee or Designated
        Participant, or (iii) interfere with the right of the Company to discharge
        any
        Employee, Designated Participant or other person at any time, with or without
        cause, and with or without advance notice.

       

      (d)  Program
        Administration.  The Committee shall be responsible for
        all decisions and recommendations regarding Program administration and retains
        final authority regarding all aspects of Program administration, the resolution
        of any disputes, and the application of the Program in any respect to a
        Designated Participant.  All determinations and interpretations made
        by the Committee in good faith shall not be subject to review by any person
        and
        shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.  The Committee
        may, without notice, amend, suspend or terminate the Program; provided,
        however, that no such action may adversely affect any then outstanding
        Award unless (i) expressly provided by the Committee and (ii) with the consent
        of the Designated Participant, unless such action is necessary to comply
        with
        any applicable law, regulation or rule.

       

      (e)  Stockholder
        Rights. No Designated Participant shall be deemed to
        be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to,
        any
        shares of Common Stock subject to a Maximum Award (including, without
        limitation, the right to receive dividends) unless and until such Designated
        Participant has received an Actual Award under the Program, has vested in
        the
        shares subject to the Actual Award and has received delivery of such shares;
        provided, however, that a plan or program by which receipt of shares of
        Common Stock in respect of an Actual Award may be deferred may provide for
        the
        crediting of dividend equivalent rights.

       

      (f)  Validity.  If
        any provision of the Program is held invalid, void, or unenforceable, the
        same
        will not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the validity of any other provision
        of the Program.

       

      (g)  Governing
        Plan Document.  The Program is subject to all
        the provisions of the Plan and is further subject to all interpretations,
        amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated
        and
        adopted by the Committee, the Board or the Company pursuant to the
        Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
        Program and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall
        control.
