OMNITURE, INC.

JOHN R. PESTANA SEPARATION AGREEMENT

     THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made by and between Omniture, Inc. (the "Company"), and John R. Pestana ("Executive").

     WHEREAS, Executive is employed by the Company as its Executive Vice President, Customer Success; and

     WHEREAS, Executive is resigning from his position as Executive Vice President, Customer Success effective November 15, 2007.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the Company and Executive (collectively referred to as "the Parties") hereby agree as follows:

     1. Termination of Employment. Executive hereby resigns his employment effective upon November 15, 2007 (the "Termination Date"). Except as required by COBRA and similar laws, Executive shall not be eligible to participate in the Company's employee and fringe benefit plans following the Termination Date.

     2. Transition Period. Executive agrees that, during the period commencing with the signing of this Agreement by the Parties and ending on the Termination Date (the "Transition Period"), he will use his best efforts on a full-time basis to fulfill his duties and responsibilities as Executive Vice President, Customer Success. During the Transition Period, Executive's duties shall include his regular duties as well as such assignments and responsibilities as are reasonably assigned to him by the Company's Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer.

     3. Severance/Retention Benefits.

          (a) Scheduled Termination. Executive is electing to terminate his employment with the Company voluntarily, and he acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall constitute notice of such termination for purposes of that certain employment agreement by and between Executive and the Company originally entered into as of April 21, 2004, and as amended and restated in its entirety effective June 7, 2006 (the "Employment Agreement"). Executive and the Company agree that Executive's termination on the Termination Date (a "Scheduled Termination") shall not constitute a Constructive Termination, a Termination without Cause or any other termination triggering severance benefits under the terms of the Employment Agreement. Following such Scheduled Termination, and subject to Executive executing a general release of all claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and subject to Executive timely electing COBRA continuation coverage under the Company's group health, dental and/or vision plans, the Company shall reimburse Executive 100% of the cost of the COBRA premiums for Executive and his covered dependents for a period equal to the lesser of (i) 18 months following the Termination Date, or (ii) the date upon which Executive and his covered dependents become covered under substantially similar plans of a successor employer.

          (b) Early Termination. If, however, Executive's employment with the Company terminates prior to the Termination Date, then, Executive's severance benefits and obligations, if any, shall be governed by the terms of the Employment Agreement. Executive further agrees that his and the Company's agreements hereunder and the Company's reduction or restructuring of Executive's authority and duties during the Transition Period shall not constitute grounds for either a Constructive Termination or a Termination Without Cause under the Employment Agreement. Otherwise, the provisions of the Employment Agreement remain in full force and effect.

     4. Costs. The Parties shall each bear their own costs, expert fees, attorneys' fees and other fees incurred in connection with this Agreement.

     5. At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company understand and acknowledge that Executive's employment with the Company constitutes "at-will" employment. Subject to the Company's obligation to provide severance benefits as specified herein, Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of the Company or Executive.

     6. Arbitration. The Parties agree that any and all disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement, their interpretation, and any of the matters herein released, including any potential claims of harassment, discrimination or wrongful termination shall be subject to binding arbitration, to the extent permitted by law, as specified in the Employment Agreement.

     7. No Representations. Executive represents that he has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney, and has carefully read and understands the scope and effect of the provisions of this Agreement. Neither party has relied upon any representations or statements made by the other party hereto which are not specifically set forth in this Agreement.

     8. Severability. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision.

     9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, along with the Employment Agreement (as amended hereby), the Proprietary Rights Agreement (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the Executive's equity compensation agreements and the Change of Control Agreement by and between Executive and the Company represent the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Executive concerning Executive's transition and termination arrangements with the Company.

     10. No Oral Modification. This Agreement may only be amended in writing signed by Executive and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

     11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of Utah.

     12. Effective Date. This Agreement is effective immediately after it has been signed by both Parties.

     13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned.

     14. Voluntary Execution of Agreement. This Agreement is executed voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence on the part or behalf of the Parties, with the full intent of releasing all claims. The Parties acknowledge that:

          (a) They have read this Agreement;

          (b) They have been represented in the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of their own choice or that they have voluntarily declined to seek such counsel;

During such 18-month period, I also will not solicit the services of any former employee of the Company whose service with the Company has ended within the prior 3 months.

     6. Non-Competition Covenants.

          (a) Omniture's Business; Access to Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. The Company is in the business of web analytics and on-line marketing services.

acknowledges that he has, from time to time, come into possession of or had access to information which the Company deemed confidential information to its business operations and interests.

          (f) Injunction. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee of the provisions of Section 6(b) above, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Employee from engaging in competitive activities prohibited by such paragraph. The parties hereto agree that a violation of such provisions will cause immediate and irreparable damage to the Company. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Company from also pursuing any other remedies available at law, and no action by the Company in pursuing any other remedies shall constitute an election to forego other remedies.
