third party independent consultant not contracted by Licensor to perform
services for Licensee using the Software, or should said consultant create
modifications or derivative works of the Software, Licensor shall have no
liability to Licensee for said services, modifications, derivative works, or
outputs of use of the Software.

liable for any lost profits, costs of procurement of substitute goods or
services, or for any claim or demand by any other party except in regard to
violations under sections 2, 4, and 5 of this Agreement. In no event will any
party to this Agreement be liable for consequential, incidental, special,
indirect, or exemplary damages arising out of this Agreement, even if the
parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages. These limitations
shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited
remedy.

        Indemnification. Licensor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Licensee
harmless from and against any and all claims made by any third party, including
costs in connection with the defense thereof, resulting from any alleged United
States and European patent, trademark, or copyright infringement by Licensee's

Licensee gives Licensor: (i) written notice of any action or allegation of
infringement within twenty (20) days following receipt of notice by Licensee;
(ii) sole control of the defense and settlement of such claims; and (iii)
assistance reasonably requested by Licensor at Licensor's expense. In the event
that a final injunction is issued against the use of the Software by Licensee
for reason of infringement of a United States and European patent, trademark, or
copyright, or if, in Licensor's opinion, the Software is likely to become the
subject of a claim of infringement, Licensor may, at its sole option and
expense, either: (a) obtain for Licensee the right to continue using the
Software; (b) replace or modify the Software so that it becomes non-infringing;
or (c) remove the Software or part thereof, and refund the aggregate license
payments paid by Licensee, less a pro rata amount equal to the purchase price of
the Software license multiplied by a fraction where the numerator is the number
of months that have passed since the delivery of the Software, and the
denominator is sixty (60).

        b. Limitation of Indemnification. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 9a above, the indemnity set forth therein shall not apply to, and
Licensor assumes no liability for, any claims of infringement made by any third
party to the extent that such claim relates to (i) use of other than an
unaltered release of the Software; or (ii) the combination, operation or use of
the Software with non-Licensor programs, data, methods or technology if such
infringement would have been avoided without the combination, operation or use
of the Software with other programs, data, methods or technology or (iii)
services performed using the Software, or modifications or derivatives works of
the Software for

                                     Page 5

12.     YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

        Licensor warrants the Software being acquired hereunder as well as any
new Version or Revision, is Year 2000 Compliant (hereafter "Year 2000
Compliant"), which shall mean all calendar year representations used within the
Software which, when operated on (including, but not limited to, arithmetic,
comparison and sorting operations) before, during and after the actual calendar
year 2000 A.D. shall not produce subsequent operations and/or generated output
which yield results in variance with the normal course of operations of the
Software or error conditions which are the direct result of the use of a
calendar year representation. Additionally, Licensor warrants that the Software
will correctly process calendar dates for Leap Year, which is defined as a year
during which an extra day is added in February (February 29th). Leap Year occurs
in all years divisible by 400 or evenly divisible by 4 and not evenly divisible
by 100. For example, 1996 is a Leap Year since it is divisible by 4 and not
evenly divisible by 100. The year 2000 is a Leap Year since it is divisible by
400. In the event of a need for modification of the Software to operate properly
for Year 2000 and beyond, Licensor will incur all expenses for such programming
and software changes to the Software under this Agreement.

13.     VIRUS/BACKDOOR

        Licensor warrants and represents that the Software shall contain no
routine, program, "virus" or code which has been intentionally designed or
created to: (a) allow unauthorized access to, or use of, the Software by any
agent or employee of Licensor or by any third party; or (b) cause the Software
or other program or programs to malfunction; or (c) allow unauthorized access
to, or use of, Licensee's network computing environment, individual client
computers or any other computing resource, by any agent or employee of Licensor
or any third party. Licensor agrees to indemnify and hold Licensee harmless from
any claims, damages, causes of action, costs and expenses arising out of or
related to any breach of the warranty set forth in this Section 13.

14.     GENERAL PROVISIONS

        a. Installation. Licensor shall install the Software based on a mutually
agreed upon schedule, subject to Licensor's fees for installation as described
in Exhibit A herein. Licensee agrees that if Licensee culpably delays the
agreed-upon installation schedule through no fault of Licensor (e.g., the
hardware is not there, or is not configured correctly and ready for Licensor to
install the Software), and Licensor is on Licensee's physical site, ready to
install the Software, and the delay extends for one day or more, that in
addition to the fee for installation, Licensee shall pay Licensor's consulting
fee for those days spent as a direct result of Licensee's delay, in excess of
those days originally scheduled for the installation, at Licensor's then current
prices. In addition, Licensee agrees to reimburse Licensor for all reasonable
travel, accommodation, and meal expenses for those days spent as a direct result
of Licensee's delay, in excess of those days originally scheduled for the
installation. Licensee acknowledges that a delay of one day or more may cause
Licensor to reschedule the installation, and that upon successful completion,
the full fee as described in Exhibit A herein for the rescheduled installation
will be payable under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

        b. Training. Unless otherwise contracted for in Exhibit A, Licensee
shall be solely responsible for training its employees to use the Software.

        c. Assignment. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and to
their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, except
that Licensee shall not assign or otherwise transfer the Software or this
Agreement to anyone without prior written notice to Licensor. Licensee may
assign the Software or this Agreement to any parent, subsidiary in which the
Licensee has a controlling interest, or Affiliate which is in existence as of
the Effective Date of this Agreement, or in connection with a sale of all or
substantially all of it's assets or stock, provided each such party agrees to be
bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement, and provided that the
assignee is not a competitor of Licensor as specified in the attached Exhibit G.
Licensor may assign the Software or this Agreement to any party provided such
party agrees in writing to be bound by all terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

                                     Page 7
<PAGE>
        In the case of transfer of all or substantially all of Licensee's assets
or stock to an entity that prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement held no
controlling interest in Licensee, it is understood that Licensor has no
obligation with regard to the extension of discounts in pricing for any and all
additional purchases of either Software licenses, maintenance or services, to
those operations of the acquiring or new controlling entity's businesses or
operations beyond or outside the scope of the businesses or operations
contemplated by this Agreement, and that subject to negotiation, all such
additional purchases shall be made at Licensor's then current list prices.

        d. Joint and Several Liability. If Licensee is composed of more than one

be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, they are, to that
extent, deemed omitted.

        i. Waiver. The waiver of one breach or default or any delay in
exercising any rights shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or
default.

        j. Notices. All notices permitted or required under this Agreement shall
be in writing and shall be delivered in person, via fax, or mailed by first
class, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the

which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one
instrument.

        l. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, along with all Exhibits referenced

            products

            -     Accrue G2 Analyser

            -     Accrue G2 Warehouse and Reporting Suite

            for an unlimited time period, independent of current and future
            number / configuration of analysed Web Servers, volume of Web
            traffic or number / configuration of processing systems and number
            of users.

      [X]   The Accrue G2 Network collector has to be licensed on a "per system"
            basis.

      [X]   Lycos Europe is permitted to [*]. This requires, however, an [*]

      [X]   Delivery and installation / integration / customization of Accrue G2
            components will be subject to the acceptance of this proposal and
            the signature of the attached Software License Agreement incl.
            Support Agreement.

      [X]   All prices are net, in Euro. They are calculated on base of a
            Dollar/Euro Conversion Rate of 1 Euro = 0.90 US-Dollar. In case that
            the Conversion Rate differs on respective due date in advantage of
            Lycos Europe (1 Euro > 0.89 US-Dollar) Accrue agrees on currency
            adjustments at time of invoicing so that Accrue can hedge against
            any devaluation. If the exchange rates at the time of invoicing are
            favorable to Accrue, then no adjustment will be made and the invoice
            will be issued only in the amount of Euros quoted in this proposal.

      [X]   Payment conditions:

            [X]   Due [*]% after [*] (see also SPSS proposal from June, 19 2001)
                  All payments are subject to [*]. The scope of this
                  installation and related success criteria will be defined in
                  Exhibit B. Lycos Europe acknowledges via signed acceptance
                  letter whether these criteria have been met.

             SCOPE / ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA OF PROTOTYPE SERVICE LYCOS

After the discovery phase [*] of the prototype installation a document with
Scope and Acceptance Criteria will be created and added as an attachment to this
Agreement. After handover of the prototype deliverables Lycos will immediately
review and test the results and, within [*] business days after handover, accept
the deliverables or notify Accrue of any part thereof that fails to conform to
the terms of acceptance. If Accrue is notified of any part of deliverables that
fails to conform to the terms of acceptance, Accrue will have the right to
provide a correction of all failing parts within [*]. In case Accrue still fails
to meet the acceptance criteria after this period Lycos can choose to terminate
this agreement without any obligation to purchase the software or enter into a
maintenance agreement. If Customer fails to notify Accrue of any Defect within
the [*] period, Customer will be deemed to have accepted the Deliverables as
fully conforming to the obligations as specified in the Acceptance Criteria, and
Customer thereby expressly waives any claim or defense relating to its
obligation to initial pay Accrue.

any Error. Further, upon discovery of such an Error, Licensee agrees, if
requested by Company, to submit to Company a list of output and any other data
that Company may reasonably require to reproduce the Error and the operating
conditions under which the Error occurred or was discovered. Such list and data
shall be deemed Confidential Information of Licensee.

        b. Error Corrections. During the term of this Agreement, Company shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Error Corrections for Errors in
the Software reported by Licensee to Company.

        c. Revisions and Versions. During the term of this Agreement, Company

party. Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to correct Errors
which result from the breach by Licensee of this Agreement or the Software
License Agreement, or which cannot be remedied due to any modifications of the
Software made by Licensee or any third party. If Company agrees to remedy any
errors or problems not covered by the terms of this Agreement, Licensee shall
pay Company for all such work performed at Company's then-current standard
Consulting Services rates. Licensee acknowledges that Company is under no
obligation to perform services with respect to any hardware or any software

Contacts who will be authorized to contact Company regarding technical support
of the Software between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Pacific Standard
Time, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Licensor will acknowledge the
receipt of Licensee's telephone call or email by phone or email within four (4)
business hours based upon Pacific Standard Time where for the purposes of this
Agreement, business hours are construed to be 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. Licensor will
first attempt to resolve the problem over the phone or via email. If the problem
cannot be simply resolved via phone or email, Licensor will make a determination
as to the level of the reported problem then proceed along the following
guidelines:

            (i). For Level 1 -- Critical problems or Errors, Licensor will
engage in a commercially reasonable effort to provide the Licensee a Work
Around, Error Correction, or both as soon as possible from the time that the

                                    Page 16
<PAGE>
problem is reported and is reproducible by the Licensor. In the event that the
Licensor, at their offices, cannot reproduce and/or resolve a problem and/or
Error, Licensor will provide support at the Licensee's site at the sole expense
of the Licensor. In the event that the problem or Error is discovered to have
been caused as a result of any Licensee act or omission, or configuration,
hardware environment, network or software environment that was previously
undocumented or specifically not supported per Licensor's Documentation, then
the Licensor reserves the right to recover all expenses related to the support
of the Licensee at the Licensee's site including but not limited to travel,
accommodation, meals, and service and consulting fees at the then current prices
for such services.

            (ii). For Level 2 -- Moderate problems or Errors, Licensor will
engage in a commercially reasonable effort to provide the Licensee a Work
Around, Error Correction, or both as soon as possible from the time that the
problem and/or Error is reported by Licensee.

        b. Interactive Customer Message Board. During the term of this
Agreement, Licensee will have web-access to an Online Customer Message Board.

        c. Online Tips & Techniques. During the term of this Agreement, Company
product managers and engineers will be hosting free Web-based training seminars
covering a variety of topics which facilitate the use of the Software. These
seminars will be broadcast on a periodic basis and Company is under no
obligation to provide them on any regular or specific schedule.

        d. Online Historical Documents. The Licensee will have web-access during

Dear Rich:

On behalf of Accrue Software, Inc., I am pleased to offer you the position of
Vice President of Sales, reporting to me. The effective date of this appointment
is October 1, 2001.

Your salary will be $200,000.00 annually and paid bi-weekly. Your salary will be
payable in accordance with the Company's standard payroll policies. You will
also be eligible for a target commission of $150,000, paid quarterly. The
Company will guarantee the first four months of this commission, if you are
employed with the Company through your first four months of your employment. You
will be covered by the company's benefit program and the provisions of these
programs.

You will be granted an incentive stock option to purchase 225,000 shares of
Common Stock exercisable at the fair market value on the date of grant by the
Company's Board of Directors. You will be granted for an additional incentive
stock option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock after 12 months of
employment if you meet at least 90% of your commission target goals. The option
will become exercisable at the rate of 33% of the shares one year after your
commencement of employment and 2.78% of the shares subject to the option each
month thereafter, so that at the end of three years, the option will be fully
vested provided you remain an employee of the Company. The option will be
subject to approval and grant by the Company's board of directors, which will
occur at the first regular board meeting following the commencement of your
employment, and the execution of the Company's standard Option Agreement under
its 1996 Stock Plan. In the event you are terminated without cause, due to a
Change of Control, there will be a 50% acceleration of vesting of your stock
options, in addition to what has been vested to date, and your salary and
benefits will continue for six months beyond the termination date.

Our offer is conditioned upon your execution of the Accrue Software, Inc.
Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, and conditioned upon your
ability to provide and maintain proper and necessary visa and other employment
documentation. In addition, you will abide by the Company's strict policy that
<PAGE>
prohibits any new employee from using or bringing with him or her from any
previous employer any confidential information, trade secret or proprietary
materials from other employers.

Your employment by Accrue Software, Inc. will be for an indefinite term and on
an at-will basis. This means that Accrue Software, Inc. may terminate the
employment relationship at any time, with or without cause. This at-will
relationship may be changed only by a written agreement entered into for this
purpose and signed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The other terms and
condition of your employment will be governed by various policies and programs
of the Company, in writing and otherwise, and that those policies and programs
may be changed from time to time by the Company at its discretion. The voluntary
at-will nature of your employment shall not be affected nor changed by any other
employment policies or programs the Company or may have, now or in the future.

This offer is contingent upon our completing a check of your references to our
satisfaction.

Please sign the bottom of this letter to indicate your acceptance of this offer
and to confirm our agreement.

Again, let me express how pleased I am to be working with you.

Sincerely,

/s/ Jeffrey S. Walker
