                                    AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into to be
effective as of the 1st day of April 2002, by and between Harte-Hanks, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Larry Franklin ("Executive").

                             Preliminary Statements

         WHEREAS, Executive has served as Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and has substantial knowledge and expertise
concerning the business and affairs of the Company.

         WHEREAS, Executive has resigned from his office as Chief Executive
Officer effective as of the date hereof.

         WHEREAS, the Company desires that Executive remain as Chairman of the
Board of the Company and Executive desires to remain in such capacity.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements set forth below and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged by the parties, the Company and Executive agree as follows:

         1. Employment and Duties of Executive.

                  (a) Executive shall serve in the capacity of Chairman of the
         Board of the Company ("Chairman"), and shall be subject to supervision
         by the Board of Directors of the Company. In such capacity, Executive
         shall have all powers granted by the Bylaws of the Company to the
         Chairman and Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of the
         Company. For so long as Executive serves as Chairman of the Company,
         the Company shall nominate and support the election of Executive as a
         member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

                  (b) While the Company employs Executive, Executive shall
         devote such time and effort as are necessary for the performance of his
         duties and responsibilities as Chairman of the Company. It is the
         expectation of the parties that during the 2002 calendar year Executive
         shall devote substantially all his business time and effort to his
         duties and responsibilities as Chairman and a lesser amount of time
         thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may spend
         reasonable amounts of time on personal civic and charitable activities
         that do not interfere with the performance of his duties and
         responsibilities to the Company. In addition, Executive may, subject to
         prior approval by the Board of Directors of the Company, spend
         reasonable amounts of time serving as an independent director for other
         companies, provided that such service does not, in the reasonable
         discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, constitute or
         create a conflict of interest.

                  (c) Executive shall observe and comply with the written rules
         and regulations of the Company respecting its business and shall carry
         out and perform the directives and policies of the Company as the Board
         of Directors may from time to time state them to Executive in writing.

         3. Term. The term of Executive's employment under this Agreement shall
commence effective as of April 1, 2002 (the "Effective Date") and continue until
the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Term"), unless Executive's
employment is earlier terminated in accordance with the

<PAGE>

                                       2

terms of the Severance Agreement (as defined in Section 7 below). If during the
Term, Executive's employment is terminated in accordance with the Severance
Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall terminate at such
time, except as otherwise provided for herein. Following the Term, Executive's
employment with the Company may continue on such terms as are mutually agreeable
to the parties.

         4. Salary. The Company shall pay Executive for his services as Chairman
an annual base salary of $650,000 during the first 12 months of the Term, and an
annual base salary of $600,000 thereafter, which shall be payable in accordance
with the Company's standard payroll practices, but not less than monthly. Such
base salary shall not include any benefits made available to Executive or any
contributions or payments made on his behalf pursuant to any employee benefit
plan or program of the Company, including any health, disability or life
insurance plan or program, 401-K plan, retirement plan or similar plan or
program of any nature.

         5. Bonus Compensation. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002,
the Executive shall be eligible for a performance bonus of up to fifty percent
of his aggregate base salary paid by the Company during the 2002 fiscal year,
including prior to the Effective Date. Such performance bonus shall be payable
in accordance with the Company's bonus policy for senior executive officers in
effect as of the Effective Date. Executive shall not be entitled to a
performance bonus for the Term remaining after December 31, 2002.

         6. Executive Benefits. During the Term, the Company shall provide
Executive with all benefits made available from time to time by the Company to
its employees and/or senior executive officers generally, such benefits to be in
accordance with the Company's policies. Specifically, Executive's benefits shall
include participation in medical, dental and vision plans or programs;
disability insurance; 401-K plans; life insurance payable to Executive's
designated beneficiary and paid vacation up to four weeks per calendar year.

         7. Severance Agreement. The Company and Executive acknowledge and agree
that the Amended and Restated Severance Agreement (as amended from time to time,
the "Severance Agreement") dated December 15, 2000, between the Company and
Executive shall remain in full force and effect (amended as hereby) and shall
govern any termination of Executive's employment with the Company. In addition,
the Company and Executive agree that on the Effective Date, the Severance
Agreement shall be amended as set forth in this Section 7. If during the Term, a
Change in Control (as defined in the Severance Agreement) occurs and Severance
Compensation (as defined in the Severance Agreement) is due to Executive, the
Severance Compensation shall be a lump sum cash amount equal to 200% of the sum
of (a) the annual base salary of Executive in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Date plus (b) the average of the bonus or incentive compensation of
Executive received from the Company for the two fiscal years preceding the
Effective Date (such years being the 2000 and 2001 fiscal years). If any terms
or provisions of the Severance Agreement are inconsistent with the terms and
provisions of this Section 7, the terms and provisions of this Section 7 shall
control and supersede the Severance Agreement.

         8. Life Insurance Policy. Promptly after the Effective Date, the
Company shall transfer to Executive its fifty percent interest in the $6 million
term life insurance policy on Executive currently in existence. The Company
shall pay the premiums on such policy through December 31, 2006. This Section 8
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

         9. Notice Provision. Any notice, demand or request required or
permitted to be given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be deemed given or made when delivered in person, when sent by United States

                  any adversarial process between Employee and Company, make any
                  oral or written statements or reveal any information which may
                  be construed to be disparaging or damaging to the name,
                  reputation or business, or which would interfere in any way
                  with the business relations, of Company or any of its
                  directors, officers, employees, shareholders, subsidiaries or
                  affiliates.

         2.4      Non-Competition.

                  Employee and Company acknowledge that Company has been engaged

                  The parties hereto acknowledge that the remedy at law for any
                  breach of Paragraph 2.3 or 2.4 of this Agreement, all of which
                  are deemed material, shall be inadequate, and the parties
                  hereby agree that Company shall be entitled to injunctive
                  relief by a court of competent jurisdiction enjoining and
                  restraining Employee from the continuance of any such act
                  which constitutes a breach of either of such paragraphs. In
                  addition to such injunctive relief, Company reserves the right
                  to seek any damages to which it may be entitled as a

                  Employee knowingly, voluntarily and unconditionally hereby
                  forever waives, releases and discharges, and covenants never
                  to sue on, any and all claims, liabilities, causes of actions,
                  judgments, orders assessments, penalties, fines, expenses and

         3.2      Indemnification.

                  Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Employee from and
                  against any and all claims, costs, liabilities, losses or
                  causes of action that may be asserted against Employee or to
                  which Employee may be, or become, subject by reason of
                  Employee's having been an officer and/or employee of Company
                  and/or by reason of Employee's alleged acts or omissions in
                  her capacity as such officer and/or employee, whether or not
                  Employee is an officer or employee of Company at the time any
                  such claim or liability is asserted, and shall pay on behalf
                  of Employee any and all legal and other expenses reasonably
                  incurred by Employee in connection with defending any or all
                  such claims or liabilities, and to pay when due any and all
                  judgments rendered and any settlements assessed, paid or
                  agreed to be paid as a result of any such claims or
                  liabilities. It is the intent of this indemnification
                  provision that Employee shall be indemnified now and hereafter
                  to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and by the
                  Company's By-laws.

         3.3      Nondisparagement.

                  Company agrees that it shall not, except as may be otherwise
                  required pursuant to judicial process or governmental
                  investigation or as is reasonably necessary in connection with
                  any adversarial process between Employee and Company, make any
                  oral or written statements or reveal any information which may
                  be construed to be disparaging or damaging to the name,
                  reputation or business, or which would interfere in any way
                  with the business relations of Employee. The parties hereto
                  acknowledge that the remedy at law for any breach of this
                  Paragraph 3.3, all of which are deemed material, shall be
                  inadequate, and the parties hereby agree that Employee shall
                  be entitled to injunctive relief by a court of competent
                  jurisdiction enjoining and restraining Company from
                  continuance of any such act which constitutes a breach of this
                  Paragraph 3.3. In addition to such injunctive relief, Employee
                  reserves the right to seek any damages to which he may be
                  entitled as a consequence of Company's breach of any of the
                  provisions of this Agreement.

         3.4      Release of Claims by Company.

                  In consideration of the obligations and agreements made by
                  Employee under this Agreement, and for other good and valuable
                  consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
                  acknowledged by Company, Company knowingly, voluntarily and
                  unconditionally hereby forever waives, releases and
                  discharges, and covenants never to sue on, any and all claims,
                  liabilities, causes of actions, judgments, orders,
                  assessments, penalties, fines, expenses and costs (including
                  without limitation attorneys' fees) and/or suits of any kind
                  arising out of any actions, events or circumstances which
                  Company has, ever had or may have, including, without
                  limitation, any claims arising in whole or in part from
                  Employee's employment, or the termination of Employee's
                  employment with Company, or the manner of said termination
                  ("Company Claims"). This Release is intended as a full and
                  final settlement and compromise of any Company Claims of every
                  kind and nature, which the Company may have now or in future;
                  provided, however, that this release is not intended nor shall
                  it be construed to infer or imply that the Company is aware of
                  or anticipates any such Company Claims.

4.0      MISCELLANEOUS.

         4.1      Prior Agreements Superseded.

                  This Agreement supersedes the Employment Agreement and any
                  other employment or benefit agreement, written or oral,
                  entered into before the date of execution of this Agreement,
                  and shall be binding upon Employee and his heirs, legatees,
                  legal representatives, successors, donees, transferees and
                  assigns, and Employee does hereby authorize and obligate
                  Employee's executors, heirs and legatees to comply with the
                  terms of this Agreement. The parties shall not be bound by or
                  be liable for any statement, representation, promise,
                  inducement or understanding of any kind or nature regarding
                  the subject matter hereof which is not set forth herein. No
                  changes,

                  amendments or modifications of any of the terms or conditions
                  of this Agreement shall be valid unless reduced to writing and
                  signed by all parties hereto.

         4.2      Severability.

                  If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared unlawful
                  or incapable of execution, such fact shall in no way affect
                  the validity of any portion thereof which can be given
                  reasonable effect without the provision declared invalid or
                  incapable of execution; nor shall such fact operate to nullify
                  or rescind this Agreement, but shall only serve to render
                  ineffective the provisions declared invalid.

         4.3      Applicable Law and Forum.

                  This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in
                  accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana. In any
                  legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties hereto
                  agree that the proper forum shall be the federal district
                  court located in Louisiana or, if not legally available, the
                  state courts of the State of Louisiana. Should there be any
                  dispute related to this Agreement, the prevailing party in
                  such dispute shall be entitled to an award of reasonable
                  attorneys fees and costs.

         4.4      Legal Representation; Knowing and Voluntary Execution.

                  Company and Employee represent and agree that they (i) were
                  specifically advised of and fully understand their rights to
                  discuss all aspects of this Agreement with an attorney, (ii)
                  have to the extent they desire, availed themselves of these

                  aspects of this Agreement, (iv) have entered into and executed

                  any source, (v) do not release claims that may arise after the
                  date that this Agreement is executed; and (vi) enter into this
                  Agreement for consideration above and beyond that to which
                  each of such parties would otherwise be entitled under the
                  Employment Agreement.

         4.5      Review and Revocation; Effective Date.

                  Employee acknowledges that she has had a full and fair
                  opportunity to review this Agreement, and has been allowed at
                  least twenty-one (21) days to consider whether to accept the
                  benefits of the Agreement in return for the release set forth
                  in Paragraph 2.6. Employee hereby certifies and represents
                  that the decision to execute this Agreement was made after
                  adequate reflection concerning the purposes and effects of
                  this Agreement, and was not coerced by the Company Releasees
                  or anyone acting on their behalf or in concert with them.
                  Employee, Company and its affiliates represent that Employee
                  terminates her employment voluntarily. Employee represents
                  that she had the opportunity to fully consider the terms,
                  content and conditions of this Agreement. Consequently,
                  Employee has fully informed herself and warrants and
                  represents that she knowingly and voluntarily executed this
                  Agreement.

                  Employee and Company agree that Employee shall have seven (7)
                  calendar days (the "Revocation Period") following the date she
                  executes this Agreement to revoke her acceptance of this
                  Agreement and the release set forth in Paragraph 2.6 of this
                  Agreement. Employee and Company agree and acknowledge that a
                  revocation of this Agreement must be in writing and delivered
                  before the expiration of the Revocation Period to John Peper,
                  Executive Vice President, Energy Partners, Ltd., 201 St.
                  Charles Avenue, Suite 3400, New Orleans, LA 70170. This
                  Agreement will become effective, binding and irrevocable if
                  not revoked before the expiration of the Revocation Period.
