Mr. Christopher C. Harding

Dear Chris:

         This letter agreement (the "Amendment") will serve as an amendment to
the letter agreement between you and Breakaway Solutions, Inc. (the "Company")
dated February 17, 1999 regarding your employment by the Company (the
"Agreement"). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same
meaning as in the Agreement unless otherwise specified. In consideration of the
mutual agreements set forth below, you and the Company have agreed to amend the
Agreement as follows:

         1. Section 1(a) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

                  (a) EFFECTIVE DATE. This Agreement shall be effective upon the
         Company's receipt of a copy of this Agreement originally executed by
         you (such date being referred to as the "Effective Date") until August
         22, 2001 (the "Employment Period") unless sooner terminated by you or
         the Company in accordance with this Agreement.

         2. The second sentence of Section 1(b) of the Agreement is hereby
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

         Following termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall become
         null and void and no party hereto (or any of their respective
         directors, officers or employees) shall have any liability or further
         obligation to any party under this Agreement, except as provided in
         this Section 1(b) and Sections 3(c)(iii), 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement.

         3. Section 2 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and

         DUTIES. You will perform such duties as may be reasonably assigned to
         you from time to time by the President or the Chief Operating Officer
         of the Company and that are substantially similar to, or less demanding
         than, the duties you have performed for the Company prior to the date
         of this Amendment, provided that no travel outside of the Commonwealth
         of Massachusetts will be required and any

<PAGE>

         duties shall be of an executive nature. You acknowledge and agree that
         you shall generally perform these duties outside the premises of the
         Company unless the Company specifically instructs you to the contrary,
         and, without limitation of any other provision of this Agreement, that
         you will not have an assigned office or parking space at any Company
         location or access to the Company's computer system or network. You
         agree that you will not represent yourself as an authorized agent or
         employee of the Company for the purpose of entering into any
         transaction or agreement. You shall not engage in any activity which
         conflicts or interferes with the performance of your duties. You shall
         not render services to any other person or entity for which you receive
         compensation without the prior written consent of the Company.

         4. Sections 3(a) and (b) of the Agreement are deleted in their entirety
and replaced with the following:

                  (a) SALARY. During your employment through May 22, 2001
         (unless you are in default of your obligations hereunder), you will
         continue to receive a Base Salary of $9,583.33 per pay period in

         deductions, withholdings, and other payments from sums payable pursuant
         to this Agreement which are required by law for taxes and other
         charges, or which you request pursuant to payroll deductions chosen by
         you. You will not be eligible for any profit sharing or bonus payments
         for the fourth quarter of 2000 (if any), for the undetermined year end
         2000 bonus, or any other payment except as set forth herein. No further
         vacation time, personal time, or sick time shall accrue after November
         22, 2000. In the event of your death, the Company will make all salary
         payments which are accrued and not yet paid as of the date of your

         participate in or receive all heath and dental insurance benefits under
         the Company's employee benefit plans and policies in effect from time
         to time. The Company will pay such portion of the premiums for such
         coverage as it provides to other Massachusetts-based employees through
         August 15, 2001. The Company may change, amend, modify or completely
         eliminate any benefit plan from time to time. You will be entitled to
         reimbursement for necessary and reasonable business expenses (i)
         incurred by you under the terms and conditions of the Agreement as in
         effect prior to this Amendment prior to November 22, 2000 and (ii)
         incurred by you from November 22, 2000 through August 15, 2001 pursuant
         to the prior written authorization of the President or the Chief
         Operating Officer of the Company.

         5. Section 3(c)(iii) of the Agreement is amended by deleting the second

         the Amendment supercedes the Agreement and that any provision of the
         Agreement deleted therefrom by the Amendment is null, void and of no
         further force and effect. Without limitation of the foregoing, you
         acknowledge and agree that the continued inclusion of Section 3(c)(iii)
         in the Agreement after the date of this Amendment is not an admission
         by the Company of the validity or enforceability of such Section
         3(c)(iii) and shall not waive, limit or otherwise compromise the right
         of the Company to assert that such Section 3(c)(iii) was superceded by
         a subsequent agreement between you and the Company or otherwise is
         invalid. You hereby fully, forever, irrevocably and unconditionally
         release, remise and discharge the Company, its officers, directors,

         common law claims and all claims arising out of the Agreement prior to

         (including attorneys' fees and costs), of every kind and nature which
         it ever had or now has against you, your affiliates, attorneys or
         agents, including, but not limited to, all claims arising out of your
         employment and all claims arising out of the Agreement prior to its

         consent.

                  (d) You understand and agree, and the Company understands and
         agrees, that this amendment is entered into in connection with the
         resolution of disputes regarding your employment with the Company, and

                  (f) You agree, and the Company agrees, to cooperate fully with
         each other in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions or

         you, on the one hand, or the Company or any of its employees, on the
         other hand. Full cooperation in connection with such claims and actions
         shall include, but not be limited to, appropriate individuals being

         attorney-client privilege which belongs solely to the Company. As such,

         contract that may adversely affect the Company.

                  (h) You represent and warrant that, to the best of your
         knowledge, you are not in possession of any material, non-public
         information regarding the Company.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         For Ten Dollars ($10.00) and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the undersigned,
the undersigned agrees as follows:

         1. For a period commencing on November 22, 2000 through and including
            August 15, 2001, the undersigned agrees that he will not (i) offer,
            pledge, sell, contract to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of,
            directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock, par value
            $0.000125 per share ("Common Stock"), issued by Breakaway Solutions,
            Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), or any securities
            convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or
            for any successor security thereto, however, transfers by private
            placement or similar transaction in the Common Stock not effected by
            utilizing the NASDAQ National Market to process the sale shall be
            exempted from the foregoing restrictions, provided that the
            transferee in any such transaction agrees in writing to be bound by
            the limitations set forth in this letter agreement prior to
            consummation of the applicable transaction, or (ii) enter into any
            option or contract to purchase or sell, or enter into any swap or
            other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part,
            any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock,
            unless the settlement date of such arrangement is after August 22,
            2001, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii),
            above, is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other
            securities, in cash or otherwise (provided that he may engage in any
            such transaction described in (i) or (ii) above in an amount not
            exceeding the Daily Amount (as defined below) of shares of Common
            Stock (as adjusted for any future forward or reverse stock splits)
            on any business day in which the NASDAQ National Market will process
            sale orders. At the Company's discretion, the undersigned agrees to
            permit the Corporation to issue "stop orders" or other instructions
            to its transfer agent to effect the terms of this letter.

         2. For purposes of this letter agreement, the Daily Amount shall be the
            lesser of (a) 30,000 shares or (b) seven percent (7%) of the average
            of the gross daily trading volumes of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ
            National Market for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the
            date of the applicable transaction described in Section 1 above,
            provided that the Daily Amount shall not be less than 10,000 shares.
            The daily trading volumes used to determine the 10-day average
            provided for in the preceding sentence shall be the gross trading
            volumes reported for the Common Stock

                                       7
<PAGE>

            by NASDAQ, as set forth in the official web site of NASDAQ,
            accessible as of the date hereof at www.NASDAQ.com. For purposes of
            example, attached hereto as Exhibit 1 are the applicable gross daily
            trading volumes of the Common Stock for the period commencing August
            23, 2000 through November 21, 2000 as stated at www.NASDAQ.com.

         3. The Daily Amount trading day limit will not be cumulative and will
            not permit transactions exceeding the per day limit by virtue of the
            undersigned's failure to effect an otherwise prohibited disposition
            in an amount not to exceed the maximum allowed amount on any other
            date.

         4. Nothing in this letter or otherwise relieves the undersigned from
            compliance with relevant obligations under the Securities Act of
            1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended
            (the "Exchange Act"), any rules or regulations promulgated by the
            Securities and Exchange Commission, any relevant stated securities
            laws, or other applicable laws, regulations, or orders. In addition,
            the undersigned agrees that this letter does not limit or affect the
            applicability of the Company's stock trading policies from time to
            time in effect, provided that the Company acknowledges and agrees
            that the undersigned shall not be subject to the so-called "trading
            blackout" policies of the Company beginning on the third trading day
            after the date on which the Company issues a press release
            announcing its actual financial results for the fiscal year of the
            Company ended December 31, 2000.

         5. Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) gifts and transfers by will or
            intestacy or (b) transfers to (1) the undersigned's immediate family
            or (2) a trust, the beneficiaries of which are the undersigned
            and/or members of the undersigned's immediate family, shall not be
            prohibited by this agreement; provided, that (x) the donee or
            transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the foregoing in the
            same manner as it applies to the undersigned and (y) if the donor or
            transferor is a reporting person subject to Section 16(a) of the
            Exchange Act, any gifts or transfers made in accordance with this
            paragraph shall not require such person to, and such person shall
            not voluntarily, file a report of such transaction on Form 4 under
            the Exchange Act. The term "immediate family" shall mean spouse,
            lineal descendants, father, mother, brother or sister of the
            transferor and father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor's
            spouse.

         6. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of
            Massachusetts and is deemed to be made under seal.
