ATTACHMENT I

Siebel Systems, Inc.

[1996/1998] Equity Incentive Plan

Restricted Stock Agreement

Siebel Systems, Inc. (the "Company") wishes to issue to you, and you wish to acquire, shares of Common Stock from the Company, pursuant to the provisions of the Company's [1996/1998] Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

Therefore, pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Grant Notice ("Grant Notice") and this Restricted Stock Agreement ("Agreement") (collectively, the "Award"), the Company grants you the right to acquire the number of shares of Common Stock indicated in the Grant Notice. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

The details of your Award are as follows:

    1. Agreement to Purchase. You hereby agree to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to sell to you, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in your Grant Notice at the specified Purchase Price per Share. You may not purchase less than the aggregate number of shares specified in the Grant Notice.
    2. Payment. Payment of the Total Purchase Price shall be made as follows:
    3. Cash or check................................. $__________

    4. Closing. The purchase and sale of the shares shall be consummated as follows:
      1. You may purchase the shares by delivering the cash for the Total Purchase Price referenced in your Grant Notice to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, on the date you execute the Grant Notice (or at such other time and place as you and the Company may mutually agree upon in writing) (the "Closing Date"), along with such additional documents as the Company may then require.
      2. You agree to execute three (3) copies of the Assignment Separate From Certificate (with date and number of shares blank) substantially in the form attached to the Grant Notice as Attachment III and to execute Joint Escrow Instructions substantially in the form attached to the Grant Notice as Attachment IV and to deliver the same in accordance with Section 8 below.

    5. Vesting. Subject to the limitations contained herein, the shares you purchase will vest as provided in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant.
    6. Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not purchase any shares of Common Stock under your Award unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such purchase are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares of Common Stock are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such purchase and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The purchase of shares under your Award also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your Award, and you may purchase such shares if the Company determines that such purchase would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.
    7. Right of Reacquisition. In the event of the termination of your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant, the Company shall have a right to reacquire (the "Reacquisition Rights") the shares you received pursuant to your Award that have not yet vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule on the Grant Notice ("Unvested Shares"). The Company shall simultaneously with termination of your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant automatically reacquire all of the Unvested Shares for the lesser of (a) the original purchase price of the Unvested Shares and (b) the fair value of the Unvested Shares on the date your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates, unless the Company agrees to waive its reacquisition right as to some or all of the Unvested Shares. Any such waiver shall be exercised by the Company by written notice to you or your representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) within ninety (90) days after the termination of your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant, and the Escrow Agent may then release to you the number of Unvested Shares not being reacquired by the Company. If the Company does not waive its reacquisition right as to all of the Unvested Shares, then upon such termination of your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant, the Escrow Agent shall transfer to the Company the number of shares the Company is reacquiring.
    8. Corporate Transactions. In the event of a corporate transaction pursuant to Section 11(b) of the Plan, the Reacquisition Right may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the Company (or such successor's parent company), if any, in connection with such corporate transaction. To the extent the Reacquisition Right remains in effect following such corporate transaction, it shall apply to the new capital stock or other property received in exchange for the Common Stock in consummation of the corporate transaction, but only to the extent the Common Stock was at the time covered by such right.
    9. Escrow of Unvested Common Stock. As security for your faithful performance of the terms of this Agreement and to insure the availability for delivery of your Common Stock upon execution of the Reacquisition Right herein provided for, you agree, on the Closing Date, to deliver to and deposit with Secretary of the Company or the Secretary's designee ("Escrow Agent"), as Escrow Agent in this transaction, three (3) stock assignments duly endorsed (with date and number of shares left blank) in the form attached to the Grant Notice as Attachment III. Said documents are to be held by the Escrow Agent and delivered by said Escrow Agent pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of you and the Company set forth in Attachment IV to the Grant Notice, which instructions also shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent on the Closing Date.
    10. Rights as Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, you shall exercise all rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares deposited in escrow. You shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares for purposes of receiving any dividends that may be paid with respect to such shares and for purposes of exercising any voting rights relating to such shares, even if some or all of the shares have not yet vested and been released from the Company's Reacquisition Right.
    11. Limitations on Transfer. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, you shall not sell, assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Common Stock while the Common Stock is subject to the Reacquisition Right. After any Common Stock has been released from the Reacquisition Right, you shall not sell, assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Common Stock except in compliance with the provisions herein and applicable securities laws.
    12. Restrictive Legends. The shares issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company.
    13. Transferability. Only you may purchase the shares subject to your Award. The right to purchase such shares is not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you. Once you have purchased the shares subject to this Award, you may transfer or assign your rights and obligations under your Award with the prior written consent of the Company.
    14. Award not a Service Contract. Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you may have as an Employee, Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.
    15. Withholding Obligations.
      1. At the time your Award is granted, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for, any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with your Award.
      2. Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow provided for herein.

    16. Tax Consequences. The acquisition and vesting of the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to your Award may have adverse tax consequences to you that may be mitigated by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code. Such election must be filed within thirty (30) days after the date your purchase the shares pursuant to your Award. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY'S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY TO MAKE THE FILING ON YOUR BEHALF.
    17. Notices. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by mail by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.
    18. Miscellaneous.
      1. The rights and obligations of the Company under your Award shall be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company's successors and assigns.
      2. You agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of your Award.
      3. You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Award in its entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing and accepting your Award and fully understand all provisions of your Award.

    19. Governing Plan Document. Your Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your Award, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your Award and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
