Mr. Douglas A. Sabella
21771 Congress Hall Lane
Saratoga, CA  95070

Dear Doug,

I am pleased to confirm the offer extended to you to join Tumbleweed
Communications Corp. in the position of President and Chief Operating Officer,
reporting to me.

SALARY AND BONUS. Your starting salary will be $12,500.00 per semi-monthly pay
period, which is equivalent to $300,000.00 on an annualized basis. You will also
be eligible for a performance bonus in an amount to be determined after a
performance review that will occur no later than the first anniversary of your
employment. Until such performance review occurs you will receive minimum
non-refundable quarterly bonus payments of $12,500.00 that will be credited
against your performance bonus. All wages are subject to normal withholdings.

STOCK OPTIONS. As part of your compensation package, you will be granted stock
options to purchase 500,000 shares of Tumbleweed common stock. The stock options
are subject to a vesting schedule, whereby 25% of the options vest upon
completion of one year of employment at Tumbleweed, and the remaining options
vest monthly thereafter over a three-year period, for a total vesting period of
four years.

TERMINATION. If Tumbleweed terminates your employment for any reason other than
Cause, or in the case of a Constructive Termination, you will be entitled to
receive your base salary, target bonus, and a continuation of your health
benefits for a period of twelve (12) months, paid in accordance with
Tumbleweed's payroll practices. You will not be entitled to any additional
payments, salary, bonus, or benefits in the event of termination for Cause.

DEFINITION OF CAUSE. For purposes of this agreement, "Cause" means only: the
commission of a felony by the Executive and intended to result in your
substantial personal enrichment at Tumbleweed's expense, conviction of a crime
involving moral turpitude, or willful failure to perform your duties to
Tumbleweed, which failure is deliberate, results in injury to Tumbleweed, and
continues for more than 15 days after written notice is given to you. For
purposes of this definition, no act or omission is considered to have been
"willful" unless it was not in good faith and you had knowledge at the time that
the act or omission was not in the best interests of Tumbleweed.

DEFINITION OF CONSTRUCTIVE TERMINATION. For purposes of this agreement,
"Constructive Termination" consists of diminution of duties, change in title or
reporting relationship, change in location, reduction in base salary, and
failure of any successor to the assets or business through any change of
ownership control (as defined below) to fully assume all obligations of
Tumbleweed under this agreement.

CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP CONTROL. If a change of ownership control occurs during your
employment that results in your termination within ninety days after its
occurrence, then upon such termination, you will receive (i) one

<PAGE>

year's base salary and (ii) one year's acceleration of the vesting of your
then-outstanding Tumbleweed stock options. "Change of ownership control" means
any sale of all or substantially all of Tumbleweed's assets, or any merger,
consolidation, or stock sales that results in the holders of Tumbleweed's
capital stock immediately prior to such transaction owning less than 50% of the
voting power of Tumbleweed's capital stock immediately after such transaction.

REAL ESTATE LOAN. Tumbleweed shall pay on your behalf the outstanding balance of
your current employer-provided real estate loan obligation, up to a maximum
amount of $700,000, at such time and in such manner as you are currently
obligated. Upon such payment by Tumbleweed, you will sign a mutually acceptable
promissory note obligating you to repay that amount to Tumbleweed. Tumbleweed
shall forgive your repayment obligation upon the fifth anniversary of your
employment, if you are then employed by Tumbleweed and the aggregate value of
the stock and stock options you have received from Tumbleweed is less than $10
million.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS.  You will become a member of our Board of Directors.

BENEFITS PACKAGE. Beginning on the first of the month following full time
employment start date, you and your eligible dependents will be able to
participate in a comprehensive benefits program including medical, dental and
vision insurance.

Additionally, beginning on the first of the month following full time employment
start date, you will also be able to participate in other benefit programs,
including: Life and AD&D insurance; Short and Long-Term Disability insurance;
and an Employee Assistance Program. Insurance premiums for employee coverage in
benefit plans are paid 100% by Tumbleweed. Medical insurance premiums for
eligible dependents are paid approximately 80% by Tumbleweed. Vision and Dental
Insurance premiums for eligible dependents are paid 100% by Tumbleweed.

You will also be eligible to participate in a 401(k) Plan and Pre-Tax Flexible
Benefits Plan. Tumbleweed matches employee contributions to the 401(k) at 100%
up to 4% of base salary. Furthermore, you will be entitled to fifteen (15) days
of paid time off during your first year, accruing at the rate of 10 hours per
month from your date of hire, as well other paid holidays. Additionally, you
will be eligible to participate in the Tumbleweed Employee Stock Purchase Plan
and the Company Revenue Target Bonus Program (5% of quarterly base salary if
Tumbleweed meets its revenue targets for a given quarter). Dates of eligibility
for these programs are set forth in the documents governing such plans.

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. As a condition of employment, you will be required to
sign a Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. You should also note
that, in accordance with federal law, you will be required to demonstrate
employment eligibility, which includes verification of your identity and of your
authorization to work in the United States.

in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

                     14.   WAIVER. The waiver of the breach of any term or
provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver
of any other or subsequent breach of this Agreement.

                     15.   GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., without

shall not be affected thereby. If any particular provision of this Agreement

invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only to the operation of such
provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made;

adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable because such provision is held to be
excessively broad as to duration, geographic scope, activity or subject, then

valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable laws
of such jurisdiction, such amendment only to apply with respect to the
operation of such provision in the applicable jurisdiction in which the

                     18.   NUMBER OF DAYS. In computing the number of days for

                     19.   SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT; EXTENSION OF PERIOD.

                           (a)     The Employee acknowledges that the
restrictions contained in Sections 5, 6, and 7 hereof are reasonable and
necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its affiliates
and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence
of such restrictions. The Employee also acknowledges that any breach by him/her
of Sections 5, 6, or 7 hereof will cause continuing and irreparable injury to
the Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. The
Employee shall not, in any action or proceeding to enforce any of the
provisions of this Agreement, assert the claim or defense that an adequate
remedy at law exists. In the event of such breach by the Employee, the Company
shall have the right to enforce the provisions of Sections 5, 6, and 7 of this
Agreement by seeking injunctive or other relief in any court, and this
Agreement shall not in any way limit remedies of law or in equity otherwise
available to the Company.

                           (b)     The periods of time set forth in Sections 5,
6 and 7 hereof shall not include, and shall be deemed extended by, any time
required for litigation to enforce the relevant covenant periods, provided that
the Company is successful on the merits in any such litigation. The "time
required for litigation" is herein defined to mean the period of time
commencing on the earlier of the Employee's first breach of such covenants or
the service of process upon the Employee ending on the expiration of all
appeals related to such litigation.

                     20.   CONSENT TO SUIT. In the case of any dispute under or
in connection with this Agreement, the Employee may only bring suit against the
Company in the Courts of the State of Texas, U.S.A. in and for the County of
Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. or in the Federal District Court for such geographic
location. The Employee hereby consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the
courts of the State of Texas, U.S.A. in and for the County of Dallas, Texas,
U.S.A. or the Federal District Court for such geographic location, provided
that such Federal Court has subject matter jurisdiction over such dispute, and
the Employee hereby waives any claim he may have at any time as to FORUM NON
CONVENIENS with respect to such venue. The Company shall have the right to
institute any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any
appropriate court and in any jurisdiction. Any judgment entered against either
of the parties in any proceeding hereunder may be entered and enforced by any
court of competent jurisdiction. If an action at law or in equity is necessary
to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief, reasonable attorneys'
fees, costs and disbursements.

                     21.   COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of
which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.
