<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Dear
Renee:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
are pleased to offer you the Vice President of Sales position, subject to Board
approval, reporting to Randy Lipps. Your initial monthly salary will be $16,666.67,
less payroll deductions and all required withholdings, which is an annual
equivalent of $200,000. Omnicell will recommend, subject to approval by our
Board of Directors, an award to you of options to purchase up to 100,000 shares
of Omnicell Common Stock at a price equal to the fair market value of such
shares on the date of grant. Upon approval, those shares will become
exercisable over a 48 month period (subject to a 1-year cliff). The options
will be subject to the terms and conditions of Omnicell&#146;s stock option plan and
your grant agreement. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As an executive officer at Omnicell, you are also
covered by the attached Change of Control document.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If your employment is
terminated without cause you will receive severance pay equivalent to six (6)&nbsp;months&#146;
salary at your base rate of pay in effect immediately prior to termination;
provided you agree to execute Omnicell&#146;s standard waiver and release agreement.
&#147;Cause&#148; is defined as (1)&nbsp;conviction of any felony; (2)&nbsp;participation
in fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement or other similar act of dishonesty or
material misconduct against the Company (or its subsidiaries or affiliates); or
(3)&nbsp;participation in any act materially contrary to the Company&#146;s best
interests.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
addition, you will be eligible to participate in the Omnicell Quarterly Executive
Bonus Plan wherein you may&nbsp;receive a bonus in the amount of up to 50% of
your base salary pending Board approval and paid out quarterly pursuant to the
Omnicell Quarterly Executive Bonus Plan; provided, among other things, the
company&#146;s and your personal objectives are met. Please note that participation
in the Executive Bonus Plan is at the discretion of Omnicell&#146;s management and
that they reserve the right to make changes to such bonus plan at any time.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Your
start date in this new position will be mutually determined upon acceptance of these
terms. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As
has always been the case, your employment at Omnicell is and continues to be
at-will employment, which means it may&nbsp;be terminated by you or by Omnicell
at any time without liability, and is acknowledged by you upon signing this
offer letter. In addition, Omnicell may&nbsp;change your position, duties,
compensation, benefits and work location from time to time at its discretion.</font></p>

changed to a location outside of the San Mateo, Santa Clara, or San Francisco

may&nbsp;be limited in certain circumstances, in particular, if any such
acceleration the (&#147;Benefit&#148;) would (i)&nbsp;constitute a &#147;parachute payment&#148;
within the meaning of Section&nbsp;280G of the Internal Revenue Code and (ii)&nbsp;but
for this amendment, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section&nbsp;4999
of the Internal Revenue Code, then such Benefit will be reduced to the extent
necessary so that no portion of the Benefit would be subject to the excise tax,
as determined in good faith by the Company; provided, however, that if, in the
absence of any such reduction (or after such reduction), you believe that the
Benefit or any portion thereof (as reduced, if applicable) would be subject to
the excise tax, the Benefit shall be reduced (or further reduced) to the extent
determined by you in your discretion so that the excise tax would not apply. If,
not withstanding any such reduction (or in the absence of such reduction), the
Internal Revenue Service determines that you are liable for the excise tax as a
result of the Benefit, then you will be obligated to return to the Company,
within thirty (30) days of such determination by the IRS, a portion of the
Benefit sufficient such that none of the benefit retained by you constitutes a &#147;parachute
payment&#148; within the meaning of Code Section&nbsp;280G that is subject to the
excise tax.</font></p>
