Dear Chairman:

In consideration for my election to the Board of Directors of Leo Burnett
Company, Inc. (the "Company"), or my continuing service on said Board, I hereby
agree to be bound by the terms of the Executive Employment Consultancy
Arrangement (the "Arrangement"), a copy of which is attached hereto, and the
Executive Employment Consultancy Arrangement Employment Agreement, a draft copy
of which is attached hereto. I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the
Arrangement and had an opportunity to review the Arrangement. I further
acknowledge that I understand the purposes of the Arrangement and agree that is
in the best interests of the Company that I retire from the Board in accordance
with the terms of the Arrangement.

I further acknowledge and agree that my agreement to participate in the
Arrangement is an essential and material condition of my election to the Board
of Directors, and that without such participation I would not be elected to the
Board of Directors.

In further consideration for my receipt of the benefits of serving on the Board
and the benefits of the Arrangement, I agree not to institute, directly or
indirectly, or in any manner aid in, except as may be required pursuant to legal
process, any action or proceeding of any kind against the Company arising out of
or related to the Arrangement, excepting an action for breach of the Arrangement
by the Company or for its failure to provide vested benefits to which I am
legally entitled, if any. I further agree to release and forever discharge the
Company, its successors and assigns and its past and present officers,
directors, and employees from any and all claims arising out of my employment,
my agreement to accept the Arrangement and my retirement pursuant to that
Arrangement, including but not limited to any and all claims under any federal,
state or local discrimination laws or ordinances, such as the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including as amended by the Older Workers
Benefit Protection Act), 29 U.S.C. (S)793 et seq.

This Arrangement and attendant release is given knowingly and voluntarily and I
acknowledge that (1) this release is written in a manner understood by me; (2)
this release refers to rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as
amended; (3) I have not waived any rights arising after the date hereof; (4) I
have received valuable consideration from the Arrangement in exchange for the
release other than amounts I am already entitled to receive; and (5) I have
been advised to consult with an attorney prior to releasing any rights
hereunder.

I have had 21 days to consider whether to consent to the above release.
Moreover, I understand that I have 7 days from the date hereof to revoke my
consent to the above release.

The Company and I expressly consent that this Arrangement shall be given full
force and effect according to each and all of its terms and provisions.

                                       Very truly yours,

                                       /s/ Roger A. Haupt

                            ------------------------
                        Executive Employment Consultancy
                        --------------------------------
                                   Arrangement
                                   -----------
                              As of March 19, 1993
                              --------------------

Statement of Objectives
-----------------------

        Whereas, this Board does hereby acknowledge that it is in the best
        -------
        interests of the Company to maintain a planned and orderly succession of
        top management; and

        Whereas, this Board also recognizes that, in order for any program of
        -------
        succession to be efficient, the program must be accepted by and start
        with those in the top echelons of management; namely, the Board of
        Directors.

        Now, therefore, to compensate members of the Board for the impact of the
        --------------
        implementation of an orderly succession of management, an Executive
        Employment Consultancy Arrangement (the "Arrangement") is hereby
        established with the following terms and conditions:

        1.     Agreement: It is hereby agreed that each member of the Board of
               ---------
               Directors of Leo Burnett Company, Inc., upon no later than the
               commencement of payments under the Arrangement or as of the first
               day of the month following such Board member's 57th birthday,
               shall cease to be a member of the Company's Board of Directors
               and no longer hold any Corporate or Divisional office, however,
               employee status shall continue during the term of the
               Arrangement.

        2.     Exceptions: It is further agreed that the only exceptions to this
               ----------
               policy shall be those as agreed in a written action of the
               Executive Committee.

        3.     Individuals Affected: Individuals who have been members of the
               --------------------
               Board of Directors of the Company at least sixty months on or
               prior to the Commencement Date.

        4.     Implementation
               --------------

               A.   No later than seven months prior to an Individual's 57th

                                                                         3/19/93

                    writing:

               1.   no earlier than twelve months prior to the Individual's
                    fiftieth birthday; and

               2.   at least six months, but no earlier than twelve months,

        birthday occurs.

 6.     Compensation: 1st through 5th year following Commencement Date, annual
        ------------
        compensation is equal to 20% of 150% of the following amount:

        (a)  base salary earned by the Individual in the calendar year
             prior to the Commencement Date; plus

        (b)  the greater of (i) the bonus earned by the Individual in the
             calendar year prior to the Commencement Date, or (ii) one-half of
             the combined sum of the bonus earned by the Individual in the two
             calendar years prior to the Commencement date. The term "bonus" as
             used herein is defined as the bonus paid to the individual in
             accordance with the compensation program adopted by the Board on
             November 17, 1975, as amended.

 7.     Employee Benefits: As an employee, the Individual shall be entitled
        -----------------
        during the term of the Arrangement (1st through 5th year) to participate
        in such employee benefit plans as the company may offer to all other

 9.     In the Event of Death: If the Individual dies at any time after the
        ---------------------
        Individual's request to participate in the Arrangement has been
        submitted to and accepted by the Chairman of the Board, or at any time
        during the 1st through 5th year, any unpaid compensation shall be paid
        to the Individual's estate according to the payment schedule previously
        established or at such earlier time or times as the Company may
        determine.

 10.    In the Event of Disability: If the Individual becomes disabled after the
        --------------------------
        Individual's request to participate in the Arrangement has been
        submitted to and accepted by the Chairman of the Board, or at any time
        during the 1st through 5th year, any unpaid compensation shall continue
        to be paid as if such disability had not occurred.

 11.    Covenant Not to Compete: During the term of the Arrangement, the
        -----------------------
        Individual covenants and agrees that he or she will not:

        (a)    Directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be
               employed by or be connected with the ownership, management,
               operation or control of:

               (1)  Any advertising agency (or holding company or subsidiary
                    thereof) other than the Company;

               (2)  Any client of the Company or of the Company's subsidiaries
                    or affiliates; or

               (3)  Any company or other entity selling products that compete
                    with products of clients of the Company or of the Company's
                    subsidiaries or affiliates;

               unless the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall have
               given prior written consent upon such terms as he shall deem
               appropriate.

          (b)  Directly or indirectly, for the Individual's own benefit or for
               the benefit of any other person, firm or corporation:

               (1)  Solicit, for purposes of employment, either any employee of
                    the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates or any
                    employee of any client of the Company or the Company's
                    subsidiaries or affiliates;

                                                                         3/19/93
<PAGE>

                                      -4-


               (2)  Induce either any employee of the Company or its
                    subsidiaries or affiliates or any employee of any client of
                    the Company or the Company's subsidiaries or affiliates to
                    terminate such employment for purposes of becoming employed
                    elsewhere;

               (3)  Interfere with the relationship either between the Company
                    or its subsidiaries or affiliates and its employees or
                    between any client of the Company or of the Company's
                    subsidiaries or affiliates and its employees; or

               (4)  Otherwise hire or induce others to hire either any employee
                    of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates or of any
                    client of the Company or of the Company's subsidiaries or
                    affiliates;

               unless the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall have
               given prior written consent upon such terms as he shall deem
               appropriate.

          (c)  The precise value of the covenants contained in this Section 11
               is so difficult to evaluate that no accurate measure of monetary
               damages could possibly be established and, in the event of a
               breach or threatened breach of such covenants, the Company's
               remedy at law would be inadequate and the Company shall be
               entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief restraining
               the Individual from such breach or threatened breach. In the
               event that any covenant made in this Section 11 shall be more
               restrictive than permitted by applicable law, it shall be limited
               to the extent which is so permitted. Nothing in this subsection
               (c) shall be construed as preventing the Company from pursuing
               any and all other remedies available to it for breach or
               threatened breach of covenants made in this Section 11, including
               the recovery of money damages from the Individual.

        It is expressly understood and agreed that the Company's remedies for
        breach of these covenants shall not be limited to damages in the amount
        of salary to be paid under the Arrangement.

 12.    Conflict of Interest: The Leo Burnett Company Conflict of Interest
        --------------------

        Policy signed by the Individual during his or her employment by the
        Company will continue in effect during the term of the Individual's
        participation under the Arrangement.

                                                                         3/19/93
<PAGE>

                                      -5-


 13.   Guidelines for Exemptions from Certain Non-Compete Provisions: The Chief
       -------------------------------------------------------------
       Executive Officer may allow the Individual receiving benefits under the
       Arrangement to do some additional work for other advertising agencies as
       long as their work cannot be construed to be in competition with the
       Company.

       While each case will have to be decided on the individual facts,
       exemptions given by the Chief Executive Officer under Section 11, above,
       will be considered under the following guidelines:

       (a)  The Individual may not work in the U.S. for an agency that shares a
            U.S. client with the Company.

       (b)  The Individual may not work in the U.S. for a U.S. agency that
            handles a competitor of any of the Company's clients.

       (c)  In case of any Individual who lives and works outside the U.S.,
            guidelines (a) and (b) would be applied to non-U.S. agencies as
            well, but because of the many variables, specific guidelines cannot
            be set up in advance.

       (d)  Furthermore, in the event that either (a), (b) or (c) occurs after
            the Individual has gone to work for the other agency, the
            Individual must resign from the other agency within 60 days after
            such occurrence or else the Company has no further liability to
            provide benefits under the Arrangement.

       (e)  Additionally, the Individual agrees not to, directly or
            indirectly, assist in the hiring of any Company employee by the
            new agency. A violation of this provision would also result in a
            termination of benefits under the Arrangement.

       (f)  Situations may arise that could result in possible embarrassment
            to the Company arising out of continued employment of any
            Individual as specified above. Because of the impossibility to
            predict any such occurrence, the Chief Executive Officer may, in
            his sole discretion, revoke permission previously granted when he
            believes that such revocation is necessary to protect the best
            interests of the Company. In the event of a revocation, the
            Individual must resign from the other agency within 60 days of
            notice of revocation or else the Company has no further liability
            to provide benefits under the Arrangement.

                                                                         3/19/93

 14.   Letter of Agreement: At the time of the election to the Board and as a
       -------------------
       condition of serving on the Board, each Board member-elect shall execute
       a letter agreeing to the terms of the Arrangement set forth above and
       releasing any and all claims with respect to such Arrangement and
       retirement pursuant to the Arrangement, including claims of
       discrimination. A copy of the letter to be executed is attached.
