Dear Jean,

     Re: Your Commission Agreement with Cordiant Group Limited

This letter (the "Commission Agreement") sets out the agreement between you and
Cordiant Group Limited (the "Company"). This Commission Agreement shall become
effective as of March 5, 2003 and shall continue indefinitely until terminated
by either you or the Company by giving the other party notice (the "Term"),
provided, however, that in no event shall such notice be sent by either party
hereto as long as you remain a director of Cordiant Communications Group plc.

1. We have agreed that the following commission shall be paid to you by the
Company in the event that any majority owned subsidiary of Cordiant
Communications Group plc (a "Group Company") is awarded New Business (as that
term is defined below) in the circumstances set forth below:

In the event that, during the Term, any Group Company primarily through your
efforts (as determined by the Group Company to which such New Business is
awarded), is awarded the account of a brand of product or service that such
Group Company has not previously serviced ("New Business") then the Company
shall pay you 5% of the Revenue (as that term is defined below) generated by
each such piece of New Business during the 12 consecutive full calendar months
commencing with the month in which the first billing is sent to the client with
respect to such New Business by the Group Company.

2. We have agreed that the following commission shall be paid to you by the
Company in the event that a Group Company is awarded New Business in the
circumstances set forth below:

In the event that, during the Term, any Group Company, in the opinion of the CEO
of Cordiant Communications Group plc, is awarded New Business in material part
through your efforts, then the Company shall pay you 2.5% of the Revenue
generated by each such piece of New Business during the 12 consecutive full
calendar months commencing with the month in which the first billing is sent to
the client with respect to such New Business by the Group Company.

3. As used herein, the term "Revenue" shall have its usual meaning in the
advertising business, namely:

     (a)  commissions including volume discounts and rebates not due to clients;
     (b)  fees;
     (c)  mark up on production and materials  purchased  outside or produced in
          house; and
     (d)  mark up on hours billed (if applicable).

     Income excluded from the calculation of "Revenue" are:

     (a)  interest or other financial source income;
     (b)  discounts gained from early payment or prepayment of suppliers;
     (c)  rental income;
     (d)  capital gains or losses on sale of assets; and
     (e)  foreign exchange gains or losses.

4. Nothing in this Commission Agreement is intended to or shall operate to
create the relationship of employment, agency, partnership or joint venture of
any kind between you and the Company or any Group Company. Any Group Company to
whom you introduce potential New Business shall be permitted to accept or reject
such New Business in its sole discretion. If it chooses to reject such proffered
New Business for any reason or for no reason, it shall not thereby become liable
to pay any Commission to you.

5. Any notice (including, but not limited to, a notice to terminate the
Commission Agreement) to be given concerning this Commission Agreement shall be
given in writing and sent by reputable overnight courier service. The date of
the giving of the notice shall be deemed to be the date said notice was given to
the courier service as indicated by the records of such courier service. Notice
shall be sent to the addresses indicated in the Commission Agreement unless
either party hereto shall send a notice to the other changing his or its address
to which future notices shall be sent.

6. This Commission Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding
of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Commission Agreement
and supercedes any previous agreements, negotiations and discussions between the
parties relating to it.

7. No amendment or variation of this Commission Agreement shall be effective
unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of each of the
parties to it.

8. You shall not assign, transfer, charge or deal in any other manner with this
Commission Agreement or your rights under it or part of it, or purport to do any
of the same, nor sub-contract nor appoint any third party of any or all of your
obligations under this Commission Agreement.

9. No person which is not party to this Commission Agreement shall have any
right to enforce any term of it by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third
Parties) Act 1999.

10. This Commission Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with English law and each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the English Courts.
