Johnson III Corporate Secretary June 18, 2001 Draper, Utah TenFold Corporation Proxy Statement For the Annual Meeting to be Held July 19, 2001 Solicitation of Proxies and Record Date Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies for the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This Proxy Statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the Annual Meeting. Please read it carefully. The Board set June 12, 2001, as the record date for the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who own Common Stock of TenFold on that date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, with each share entitled to one vote. There were [36,003,705] shares of Common Stock of TenFold outstanding on June 12, 2001. We will mail voting materials, which include this Proxy Statement, a proxy card, and TenFold's 2000 Annual Report, to our stockholders on or about June 18, 2001. You should not consider any of these voting materials to be materials for soliciting the purchase or sale of stock of TenFold. In this Proxy Statement: . "Annual Meeting" or "Meeting" means the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of TenFold Corporation; . "Board of Directors" or "Board" means the Board of Directors of TenFold Corporation; . "SEC" means the Securities and Exchange Commission; and . "We," the "Company," and "TenFold" mean TenFold Corporation. Questions & Answers Q: When and where is the Annual Meeting? A: TenFold's Annual Meeting of Stockholders is being held on Thursday, July 19, 2001, at 10:30 a.m. local time at the Marriott City Center Hotel located at 220 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 (Tel: 801-961-8700, Fax: 801-961-8703). Q: Do I need a ticket to attend the Annual Meeting? A: No, you will not need a ticket to attend, but you may be requested to show identification. Q: Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement and a proxy card? A: You are receiving this Proxy Statement and a proxy card from us because you owned shares of common stock of TenFold on June 12, 2001, the record date. This Proxy Statement describes issues on which we would like you, as a stockholder, to vote. It also gives you information on these issues so that you can make an informed decision. When you sign the proxy card, you appoint Nancy M. Harvey and Jonathan E. Johnson III as your representatives at the Annual Meeting. Ms. Harvey and Mr. Johnson will vote your shares, as you have instructed them on the proxy card, at the Meeting. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, it is a good idea to complete, sign, and return your proxy card in advance of the Meeting just in case your plans change. You can always vote in person at the Meeting, even if you have already sent in your proxy card. If an issue comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card, Ms. Harvey and Mr. Johnson will vote your shares, under your proxy, in accordance with their best judgment. Q: What am I voting on? A: You are being asked to vote on: . the election of three nominees to serve on our Board of Directors until our 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (Jeffrey L. Walker, H. Raymond Bingham, and Kay R. Whitmore); and . the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. Q: How do I vote? A: There are two ways you may vote (please also see detailed instructions on your proxy card): . Mail in your completed, signed, and dated proxy card. If you return a signed card but do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR the three named nominees and FOR ratification of the auditors. OR . Vote in person by attending our Annual Meeting. We will pass out written ballots to anyone who wants to vote at the Meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, you must request a legal proxy from your stockbroker in order to vote at the Meeting. Holding shares in "street name" means your TenFold shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm and the stock certificates and record ownership are not in your name. Q: What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card? A: It means that you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent or with stockbrokers. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all your shares are voted. Q: What if I change my mind after I return my proxy card? A: You may revoke your proxy (cancel it) and change your vote at any time prior to the voting at the Annual Meeting by written notice to TenFold's Corporate Secretary. You may also do this by: . Signing another proxy card with a later date, or . Voting in person at the Meeting. Q: Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card? A: If your shares are held in street name, your brokerage firm may either vote your shares on "routine matters" (such as election of directors and ratification of independent auditors) or leave your shares un-voted. Your brokerage firm may not vote on "non-routine matters" such as a proposal submitted by a stockholder. We encourage you to provide instructions to your brokerage firm by completing the proxy that they send to you. This ensures your shares will be voted at the Meeting. Q: How are abstentions counted? A: Abstentions are counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and as votes AGAINST for purposes of determining the approval of any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote. Q: What is a "broker non-vote?" A: Under the rules that govern brokers who have record ownership of shares that are held in "street name" for their clients, who are the beneficial owners of the shares, brokers have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters (such as the election of directors and the ratification of independent auditors), but not on non-routine matters (such as a proposal submitted by a stockholder). If the proposals to be acted upon at the Meeting include both routine and non-routine matters, the broker may turn in a proxy card for uninstructed shares that votes "FOR" the routine matters, but expressly states that the broker is NOT voting on non-routine matters. The vote with respect to the shareholder proposal in this case is known as a "broker non-vote." Q: How are broker non-votes counted? A: Broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will not be counted for the purpose of determining the number of votes cast. Q: What is a "quorum"? A: A "quorum" is the number of shares that must be present, in person or by proxy, in order for business to be transacted at the Meeting. The required quorum for the Annual Meeting is a majority of the shares outstanding on June 12, 2001, the record date. All completed and signed proxy cards, regardless of the manner voted, will be counted toward the quorum. Q: How many shares are outstanding and how many votes can they cast? A: As of June 12, 2001, [36,003,705] shares of Common Stock were outstanding. Each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters covered in this Proxy Statement. Q: What is the required vote for a proposal to pass? A: Assuming a quorum is present, the three nominees for election as directors at the Annual Meeting receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of shares entitled to be voted for them will be elected as directors of TenFold. The ratification of the independent auditors will require the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Q: Where do I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting? A: We will announce preliminary voting results at the meeting. We will publish the final results in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2001. We will file that report with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and you can obtain a copy by contacting our Investor Relations Department at (801) 495-1010 or the Securities and Exchange Commission (call (800) SEC-0330 for the location of the nearest public reference room), or on the Internet through the EDGAR system at www.sec.gov. Q: Who is soliciting my vote? A: TenFold is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. In addition to this solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by our directors, officers, and other employees by telephone, Internet, in person, or otherwise. Such person will not receive any additional compensation for assisting in the solicitation. We will also request brokerage firms, nominees, custodians, and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners. We will reimburse such persons and TenFold's transfer agent for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding such material. We have not retained the services of a proxy solicitor. Q: Where are the Company's principal executive offices located? A: TenFold's principal executive offices are located at 180 West Election Road, Draper, Utah 84020 (Tel 801-495-1010, Fax 801-495-0353). Proposals To Be Voted On 1.

The Class II directors are nominees for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Each has consented to serve an additional two-year term. Stockholders elect only one class of directors at each annual meeting, with the other class continuing for the remainder of its respective two-year term. The Board recommends a vote FOR Messrs. Walker, Bingham, and Whitmore. 2. Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditors KPMG LLP has served as the Company's independent auditors since 1998 and has been appointed by the Board of Directors to continue as TenFold's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. In the event that ratification of this selection of auditors is not approved by a majority of the shares of Common Stock voting at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, the Board will reconsider its selection of auditors. A representative of KMPG LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. This representative will have an opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. The Board recommends a vote For ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent auditors of TenFold for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. 3.

Information presented is as of the last trading day of each month between the Company's initial public offering and December 29, 2000. Fees Billed For Services Rendered by KPMG LLP For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, KPMG LLP, our independent auditor, billed the fees set forth below. Audit Fees $920,405.00 All Other Fees $ 83,554.00 The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") has considered whether and concluded that the non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP are compatible with maintaining its independence. Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors As of April 19, 2001, the Audit Committee was composed of two non-employee directors: H. Raymond Bingham and Kay R. Whitmore. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors on July 20, 2000, which is included in this proxy statement as Appendix A. Each member of the Audit Committee is independent as defined by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. The Audit Committee recommends to the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder ratification, the selection of KPMG LLP to be engaged as the Company's independent accountants. KPMG LLP is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and to issue a report thereon. Management is responsible for our internal controls and the financial reporting process. The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring and overseeing these processes. The Audit Committee held eight meetings in 2000. The meetings were designed to facilitate and encourage communication between the Audit Committee, management, and our independent accountants, KPMG LLP. Management represented to the Audit Committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for 2000 with management and the independent accountants. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended. The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants, KPMG LLP, as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees. Additionally, the Audit Committee has discussed with KPMG LLP the issue of its independence from TenFold. Based on its review of the audited consolidated financial statements and the various discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. Respectfully submitted, H. Raymond Bingham Kay R. Whitmore Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors Membership of the Committee The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the ``Compensation Committee'') is composed of two non-employee directors: Robert W. Felton and Ralph W. Hardy, Jr. No member of the Compensation Committee has a relationship that would constitute an interlocking relationship with executive officers or directors of another entity. From time to time the President and Chief Executive Officer, and certain officers of TenFold, attend meetings of the Committee. No officer of TenFold is present during discussions or deliberations regarding his or her own compensation. Responsibilities of the Committee Acting on behalf of the Board of Directors, the Committee's responsibilities include the following: . Determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. . Reviews and approves senior management compensation plans and stock grants, and establishes performance goals. . Reviews and approves proposed stock option plan changes. . Approves compensation and stock grants intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m). . Reports results of each meeting to the Board of Directors. Executive Officer Compensation Program TenFold's executive compensation program is designed to support the achievement of Company performance goals, to ensure that executive officers' objectives are aligned with the success of TenFold, and to provide financial opportunities that will motivate executive officers to achieve outstanding returns for stockholders. Consistent with these goals, executive pay is based on two principles. First, a significant portion of their total cash compensation is at risk and is based on meeting targeted financial objectives established by management under the direction of TenFold's Board of Directors, and is adjusted as appropriate for individual performance. Second, a large portion of executive officers' total compensation is in the form of stock options. TenFold's compensation program for executive officers is structured to be competitive with executive officers in similar positions of comparable companies within the high technology industry. TenFold has analyzed executive compensation data from a group of comparable companies in our industry on the basis of industry segment and competitive employment market to TenFold. TenFold's executive level positions, including the President & CEO, are compared to similar positions of the comparable companies and competitive levels are determined for base salary and target bonus incentives. The Compensation Committee uses comparative data to set compensation targets that will provide executive officers with compensation that exceeds the average amounts paid to similar executives of comparable companies in years in which TenFold achieves superior performance, and with compensation below the average of amounts paid to similar executives of comparable companies in years in which TenFold fails to achieve superior performance. Market practices with respect to stock option grants are also reviewed based on comparable companies. Grants under TenFold's stock plans are designed to further strengthen the linkage between executive compensation and shareholder return, to provide additional incentives to executive officers tied to growth of stock price over time and encourage continued employment with TenFold. Stock option grants are based upon comparable data and individual executive performance. Stock options generally become exercisable over a five-year period and are granted at a price that is equal to the fair market value of TenFold's stock on the date of grant. However, in December 2000 TenFold granted stock options to its executive officers that become exercisable over a three-year period. Annual Base Salary TenFold believes that base salary is frequently a significant factor in attracting, motivating, and retaining skilled executive officers. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee reviews base salaries of executive officers annually and generally sets the base salary of its executive officers at or near the average of the levels paid by the other companies it reviews. Only one named executive received a base salary increase in 2000. Annual Bonus The Corporate Executive Bonus Plan pays bonuses to executives officers according to their overall success in meeting financial performance goals and their success in accomplishing individual objectives. Each executive officer has an individual bonus target based on their overall responsibility and their ability to impact TenFold's financial performance. No named executives received a bonus in 2000. Stock Options TenFold believes that significant equity participation creates a vital long-term partnership between management and other stockholders. Stock option grants were made to certain of TenFold's executive officers in 2000. To determine the size of the grants, the committee reviewed the executive officers' unvested stock options and overall contribution. 2000 CEO Compensation TenFold's President and Chief Executive Officer in 2000, Gary D. Kennedy, was compensated based on an employment agreement that was entered into between TenFold and Mr. Kennedy in September 1996 (see "Employment Agreement"). In 2000, Mr. Kennedy did not receive a base salary increase or an annual bonus. Qualifying Compensation The Committee has considered the potential impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (``Section 162(m)'') adopted under the Federal Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993. Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction for any publicly held corporation for certain executive officers' compensation exceeding $1 million per person in any taxable year unless it is ``performance based'' within the meaning of Section 162(m). In fiscal 2000, the cash compensation of each of TenFold's executive officers was below the $1 million threshold and options granted under TenFold's option plan were designed to meet the requirement of being performance-based under the provisions of Section 162(m). TenFold's policy is, to the extent reasonable and possible, to qualify its executive officers' compensation for deductibility under the applicable tax laws. Respectfully submitted, Robert W. Felton Ralph W. Hardy Employment and Severance Agreements Employment Agreement In September 1996, TenFold and Mr. Kennedy entered into an employment agreement providing for Mr. Kennedy's employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of TenFold for a period of eight years, subject to the right of either party to terminate the agreement with or without cause upon 30 days' prior written notice. The agreement provided for an annual base salary of $168,000, subject to increase in the discretion of the TenFold board of directors, and provides that Mr. Kennedy shall be entitled to up to six months severance pay and vesting of half of his unvested shares in the event that he is terminated without cause. The agreement includes a non-competition agreement which provides that, for a period of six months after Mr. Kennedy's termination of employment, he will not compete with TenFold or solicit its customers or employees. In January 2001, Mr. Kennedy resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a director of TenFold. The Company and Mr. Kennedy are currently negotiating the severance compensation that Mr. Kennedy will receive in connection with his resignation. Effective May 1, 2001, the Company and Bernard C. Mazon entered into an agreement pursuant to which (i) Mr. Mazon resigned as an employee, officer, and director of, as the case may be, the Company and TenFold Insurance, Inc., and (ii) the Company engaged Mr. Mazon as an independent contractor and agreed to pay him a total of $100,000 (to be paid in 12 equal installments over the next 6 months) to perform consulting services relating to matters arising during or related to his employment with the Company or TenFold Insurance, Inc., for the duration of any governmental investigation, litigation, regulatory, or other proceeding involving the Company or TenFold Insurance, Inc. The agreement contains a general release by Mr. Mazon of all claims against the Company and TenFold Insurance, Inc., and requires Mr. Mazon to transfer to the Company 200,000 shares of Common Stock of TenFold Insurance, Inc., which he purchased pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 18, 2000, in exchange for the Company agreeing to cause TenFold Insurance, Inc., to reduce the aggregate amount owed by Mr. Mazon under a Promissory Note dated February 18, 2000, from the principal amount of $960,000, plus accrued interest to $1,000 (and no accrued interest). The agreement also terminates the stock option grant of TenFold Insurance, Inc., Common Stock dated February 18, 2000, and amends the stock option grants of Company Stock dated July 22, 1998, January 20, 1999, August 15, 2000, and December 15, 2000, to permit Mr. Mazon to exercise any Company option grants vested as of May 1, 2001, within the next 6 months. None of the Company's Named Executive Officers, other than Messrs. Kennedy and Mazon, have an employment agreement, severance agreement, or similar arrangement with the Company. Ms. Harvey, the Company's new President and Chief Executive Officer, has entered into an employment agreement with the Company. See "Certain Transactions" for a summary of Ms. Harvey's employment agreement.

(1) Options granted in 2000 were made under the 1993 Flexible Stock Incentive Plan, the 1999 Stock Plan, and the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan. These options: . are generally granted as non-qualified stock options, . are granted at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and . expire ten years from the date of grant, unless otherwise earlier terminated in certain events related to termination of employment. (2) The percentage of total options granted to the Named Executive Officers was computed by dividing the options granted to the Named Executive Officers shown in the table by 17,061,700, the total number of options to acquire TenFold common stock granted in 2000. (3) Options with exercise prices of: . $49.00 were granted on January 17, 2000 and vest in 20% increments on each anniversary of the grant, subject to the terms and conditions of the 1999 Stock Plan, . $7.25 were granted on August 15, 2000 and vest in 20% increments on each anniversary of the grant, subject to the terms and conditions of the 1999 Stock Plan, . $1.63 were granted on December 15, 2000 and vest 50% on the first anniversary of the grants and thereafter vest quarterly in 6.25% increments, subject to the terms and conditions of the 1993 Flexible Stock Incentive Plan and the 1999 Stock Plan.

Harvey, President and Chief Executive Officer, for a term of two years, subject to the right of either party to terminate the agreement with or without cause upon 30 days' prior written notice. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $600,000, which is subject to review and change by the Company's board of directors, the opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus in the discretion of the Company's board of directors, and six months of severance pay if Ms. Harvey is terminated without cause. The agreement also provides that, for the term of the agreement and for 6 months thereafter in the event of an involuntary termination, Ms. Harvey will not compete with the Company or solicit its customers or employees. On April 17, 2001, the Company and Ms. Harvey entered into a restricted stock agreement pursuant to which the Company (i) transferred to Ms. Harvey 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to the restrictions that she may not sell such shares until January 1, 2002, and that the Company may reacquire all such shares for $1,000 if she resigns or is terminated for cause before January 1, 2002; and (ii) agreed to loan Ms Harvey, if she files an election under Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) with respect to the 800,000 shares, an amount equal to 50% of the amount she includes as recognized compensation income.

These reporting persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish TenFold with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
