the term of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 1 are collectively referred
to herein as the "Employment Period.")

attention and efforts to the affairs of the True North Group and shall use his
reasonable best efforts to promote the interests of the Company. Notwithstanding

Executive's duties hereunder.

          3.   COMPENSATION.

          (a)  ANNUAL BASE SALARY. During the Employment Period, the Company
shall pay to the Executive an annual base salary at the rate of $300,000 per
annum from the Effective Date through February 29, 2000, and at the rate of
$350,000 per annum thereafter, in accordance with the Company's regular payroll

with guidelines applicable to the Company's senior executives generally.

          (b)  INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. During the Employment Period, the

and procedures for senior executives. The Executive shall submit appropriate
invoices for all such expenses.

          4.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT PERIOD.

          (a)  QUALIFYING TERMINATION. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Qualifying Termination" means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) termination of the Executive's employment by the Company without Cause (as
defined in subsection (b) below) during the Employment Period, (ii) expiration
of this Agreement at the end of the Initial Term or at the end of any extension
of the term hereof pursuant to a written notice given by the Company to the
Executive in accordance with Section 1 hereof, (iii) termination of the
Executive's employment by the Company on account of the Executive having become
unable (as determined by the Company in good faith) to perform regularly his
duties hereunder by reason of illness or incapacity for a period of more than
three consecutive months (termination for "Disability"), (iv) termination of the
Executive's employment on account of the Executive's death, or (v) termination
of the Executive's employment by the Executive due to and within 60 days of the
occurrence, without the Executive's

                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>

consent, of any of the following events: (1) any change or changes in the
Executive's duties and responsibilities that, taken as a whole, result in a
material diminution of the Executive's duties and responsibilities, (2) a
material adverse change in the Executive's reporting responsibilities with the
Company (including, but not limited to, any change resulting in the Executive no
longer reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the publicly-held
parent company of the True North Group), (3) a material breach of the Company's
obligations set forth in this Agreement, (4) a decrease in the Executive's base
salary, or (5) any requirement of the Company that the location where the
Executive is based be materially changed.

For purposes of this Agreement, an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent
action taken by the Company in good faith and which is remedied by the Company
promptly (the later of 60 days or as soon as reasonably practicable) after
receipt of written notice thereof given by the Executive shall not constitute a
basis for a Qualifying Termination.

          (b)  DEFINITION OF CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Executive's
employment immediately for "Cause" if, in the reasonable determination of the
Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board, as set forth in an action of
the Board or such Committee setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons for
such termination, (i) the Executive engages in conduct that violates significant
policies of the Company after the Executive is notified by the Company that he
is engaging in conduct that violates such policies and that such conduct will be
deemed to be Cause; (ii) the Executive fails to perform the essential functions
of his job (except for a failure resulting from a bona fide illness or
incapacity) or fails to carry out the Board's reasonable directions with respect
to material duties after the Executive is notified by the Company that he is
failing to perform these essential functions or failing to carry out such
reasonable directions and that such conduct will be deemed to be Cause; (iii)
the Executive engages in embezzlement or misappropriation of corporate funds or
other acts of fraud, dishonesty or self-dealing, or commits a felony or any
significant violation of any material statutory or common law duty of loyalty to
the Company; or (iv) the Executive breaches a material provision of this
Agreement (including, but not limited to, the non-compete, non-solicitation,
confidentiality, or non-disparagement provisions in Sections 7 and 8), after the
Executive is notified by the Company that he has breached a material provision
of this Agreement and that such breach will be deemed to be Cause. Prior to any
termination of the Executive for Cause pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iv) of
this Section 4(b), the Company shall give the Executive reasonable opportunity
to remedy any condition, conduct, action or inaction of the Executive giving
rise to the violation or breach of such clause if such violation or breach is
remediable.

          (c)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Executive shall have the right to resign from the Company and thereby terminate
the Employment Period at any time during the Employment Period; subject to the
provision by the Executive to the Company of at least 60 days' advance written
notice.

          5.   CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT PERIOD.

          (a)  BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION. If the Employment Period terminates
for any reason, the Executive (or the Executive's executor, administrator or
other legal representative, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive the
following benefits:

          (i)  within 30 days after the amount in question is reasonably
     determinable (A) base salary payable through the date of termination of
     employment, (B) unpaid annual incentive compensation for the calendar year
     immediately preceding the date of such termination, and (C) reimbursement
     of proper expenses incurred through the date of such termination; and

          (ii) participation (by the Executive or the Executive's qualified
     dependents, as the case may be) in all other applicable benefit plans or
     programs in accordance with the provisions thereof applicable to terminated
     employees (or their qualified dependents, as the case may be).

          (b)  ADDITIONAL BENEFITS UPON QUALIFYING TERMINATION. If the
Employment Period terminates for a reason set forth in Section 4(a), the
Executive (or the Executive's executor, administrator or other legal
representative, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive the following
additional benefits:

          (i)  within 30 days after the amount in question is reasonably
     determinable, annual incentive compensation for the calendar year in which
     such termination shall have occurred, prorated through the date of such
     termination based on actual results of operations for such full calendar
     year; and

          (ii) if the Qualifying Termination is for any reason other than death
     or Disability:

          (A)  all stock options and restricted stock granted to the Executive
               by the Company on or after the Effective Date then held by the
               Executive shall on the date of such termination be 100% vested
               (this is independent of any similar rights provided pursuant to
               stock option and restricted stock agreements entered into prior
               to the Effective Date);

          (B)  subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(b), for a period
               of 24 months commencing on the day immediately following the date
               of termination of the employment of the Executive (the "Severance
               Period"), the Executive shall be entitled to receive (1) base
               salary, at the rate payable as of the date of such termination,
               and (2) an annual bonus at the rate of 50% of base salary, with
               such salary and bonus to be paid evenly throughout the Severance
               Period in accordance with the Company's normal payroll policies;
               and

          (C)  subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(b), during the
               Severance Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate
               in life insurance, medical and

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>

               dental benefits on terms no less favorable than on the
               termination date, subject to legal restrictions and to
               modifications of general application to all similarly situated
               employees; and

          (iii) each stock option granted to the Executive by the Company on or
     after the Effective Date then held by the Executive shall be exercisable to
     the extent it is vested at the date of termination by the Executive or the
     Executive's executor, administrator or other legal representative, as the
     case may be, for up to three years after the date of termination, but in no
     case beyond a date 10 years following the date of grant of such option
     (this is independent of any similar rights provided pursuant to stock
     option agreements entered into prior to the Effective Date).

As a condition to the receipt of the severance benefits described in
subparagraphs (ii)(B) and (ii)(C) above, the Company reserves the right in
accordance with the standard Company severance policy to require the Executive
to sign a standard separation agreement, containing a general release of claims.
This separation agreement shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

          (c)  TERMINATION AFTER A CHANGE IN CONTROL. If the Executive incurs a
Qualifying Termination within two years of the occurrence of a "Change in
Control" under and as defined in the Company's Asset Protection Plan (or a
similar replacement plan providing severance benefits to Company employees after
a change in control), then (i) the benefits payable to the Executive pursuant to
Section 5(b)(ii)(B)(1) and (2) above upon such Qualifying Termination, if any,
shall be paid to the Executive in one lump sum within 60 days of such Qualifying
Termination, and (ii) the benefits payable to the Executive pursuant to Section
5(b)(i) above upon such Qualifying Termination, if any, shall be paid to the
Executive in one lump sum within 30 days after the amount in question is
reasonably determinable. If mutually agreed upon between the Executive and the
Company, these lump-sum payments shall be reduced to the extent required to
avoid the excise tax, if any, imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, but only if such reduction would result in a larger
after-tax benefit to the Executive, after taking into account all applicable
local, state, and federal income and excise taxes.

          6.   FEDERAL AND STATE WITHHOLDING. The Company shall deduct from the
amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement the amount of all
required federal and state withholding taxes in accordance with the Executive's
Form W-4 on file with the Company and all applicable social security and
Medicare taxes.

          7.   NONCOMPETITION; NONSOLICITATION; CONFIDENTIALITY.

          (a)  COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. The Executive acknowledges that in the
course of employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive
will become familiar with the Confidential Information (as defined below) of the
Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates and clients, and that the Executive's
services will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company.
Except with the prior written consent of the Board:

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>

          (i)  during the Employment Period the Executive shall not engage in
     any activities, whether as employer, proprietor, principal, partner,
     stockholder (other than the holder of 1% or less of the stock of a
     corporation the securities of which are traded on a securities exchange or
     in the over-the-counter market), director, officer, employee or otherwise,
     in competition with any business in which the True North Group is
     substantially engaged in or proposed to be engaged in; and

          (ii) during the Employment Period (including the remainder of the then
     current three-year term of the Employment Period following the Executive's
     resignation or termination for "Cause") and any Severance Period the
     Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either on the Executive's
     behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm or corporation:

          (A)  solicit or raid any account that is a client of the True North
               Group at the time of the Executive's termination, or that was a
               client of the True North Group at any time within 12 months prior
               to the date of such termination; provided that the foregoing
               shall apply only to accounts with whom the Executive had
               responsibilities for or learned Confidential Information relating
               to within the one-year period preceding the Executive's
               termination of employment with the Company; or

          (B)  recruit or solicit, or attempt to recruit or solicit, the
               employment or consulting services of any person who is at such
               time or who was at any time within 12 months immediately prior to
               such time, an employee of the True North Group.

          (b)  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND TRADE SECRETS. The Executive agrees
that the Company has a protectable interest in Company bidding information,
trade secrets, client information, computer programs, financial information and
other confidential information (collectively, the "Confidential Information").
The Executive shall not, at any time during the Employment Period (except for
the benefit of the Company within the scope of the Executive's duties) or
thereafter, make use of any nor divulge any Confidential Information, except to
the extent that such Confidential Information becomes a matter of public record,
is published in a newspaper, magazine or other periodical available to the
general public (other than as a result of disclosure by the Executive) or as the
Company may so authorize in writing; and when the Executive shall cease to be
employed by the Company, the Executive shall surrender to the Company all
Confidential Information and records and other documents obtained by him or
entrusted to the Executive during the course of the Executive's employment
hereunder (together with all copies thereof) which pertain specifically to any
of the businesses covered by the covenants in Section 7(a)(i) or which were paid
for by the Company; provided, however, that upon written approval of the Company
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) the Executive may retain
copies of such documents as necessary for the Executive's personal records for
federal income tax purposes. The Executive also agrees that the Executive will
not at any time (whether before or after the termination of the Executive's
employment with the Company) disclose to anyone the terms of this Agreement,
except to the Executive's counsel, accountants and members of the Executive's
immediate family.

                                     - 6 -

          (c)  SCOPE OF COVENANTS; REMEDIES. The following provisions shall
apply to the covenants of the Executive contained in this Section:

          (i)  the covenants set forth in Sections 7(a)(i) and 7(a)(ii) shall
     apply within all territories in which the True North Group is actively
     engaged in the conduct of business during the Employment Period, including,
     without limitation, the territories in which customers are then being
     solicited;

          (ii) the Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that the
     covenants contained in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) are reasonable in all
     respects (including subject matter, time period and geography) and
     necessary because of the substantial and irreparable harm that would be
     caused to the Company by the Executive engaging in any of the prohibited
     activities contained in such Sections. The Executive expressly agrees and
     acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Agreement will not
     preclude the Executive from earning a livelihood, nor unreasonably limit
     the Executive's ability to earn a living, since the Executive has the
     ability and experience to engage in employment that will not breach or
     violate the covenants contained in this Agreement. Each party intends and
     agrees that if in any action before any court or agency legally empowered
     to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) any term,
     restriction, covenant or promise contained therein is found to be
     unreasonable and accordingly unenforceable, then such term, restriction,
     covenant or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to
     make it enforceable by such court or agency; and

          (iii) the covenants contained in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) shall survive
     the conclusion of the Executive's employment by the Company.

          8.   NONDISPARAGEMENT; COOPERATION. (a) The Executive shall not, at
any time during his employment with the Company or thereafter, make any public
or private statement to the news media, to any True North Group competitor or
client, or to any other individual or entity, if such statement would disparage
any of the True North Group, any of their respective businesses or any director
or officer of any of them or such businesses or would have a deleterious effect
upon the interests of any of such businesses or the stockholders or other owners
of any of them; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be in breach of
this restriction if such statements consist solely of (i) private statements
made to any officers, directors or employees of any of the True North Group by
the Executive in the course of carrying out his duties pursuant to this
Agreement or, to the extent applicable, his duties as a director or officer, or
(ii) private statements made to persons other than clients or competitors of any
of the True North Group (or their representatives) or members of the press or
the financial community that do not have a material adverse effect upon any of
the True North Group; and provided further that nothing contained in this
Section 8(a) or in any other provision of this Agreement shall preclude the
Executive from making any statement in good faith that is required by law,
regulation or order of any court or regulatory commission, department or agency.

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>

          (b)  The Company shall not, at any time during the Executive's
employment with the Company or thereafter, authorize any person to make, nor
shall the Company condone the making of, any statement, publicly or privately,
which would disparage the Executive; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be in breach of this restriction if such statements consist solely of (i)
private statements made to any officers, directors or employees of the True
North Group or (ii) private statements made to persons other than clients or
competitors of any of the True North Group (or their representatives) or members
of the press or the financial community that do not have a material adverse
effect upon the Executive; and provided further that nothing contained in this
Section 8(b) or in any other provision of this Agreement shall preclude any
officer, director, employee, agent or other representative of any of the True
North Group from making any statement in good faith which is required by any
law, regulation or order of any court or regulatory commission, department or
agency.

          9.   ENFORCEMENT. The parties hereto agree that the Company would be
damaged irreparably in the event that any provision of Section 7 or 8 of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms or were otherwise
breached and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such
nonperformance or breach. Accordingly, the Company and its successors or
permitted assigns shall be entitled, in addition to other rights and remedies
existing in their favor, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent any breach
or threatened breach of any of such provisions and to enforce such provisions
specifically (without posting a bond or other security). Each of the parties
agrees that he or it will submit himself or itself to the personal jurisdiction
of the courts of the State of New York in any action by the other party to
enforce an arbitration award against him or it or to obtain interim injunctive
or other relief pending an arbitration decision.

          10.  SURVIVAL. Sections 7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement shall survive and
continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms,
notwithstanding any termination or expiration of the Employment Period.

          11.  ARBITRATION. Any dispute or controversy between the Company and
the Executive, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach
of this Agreement, or otherwise, shall be settled by arbitration administered by
the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial
Rules then in effect and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any arbitration shall be held
before a single arbitrator who shall be selected by mutual agreement of the
Company and the Executive, unless the parties are unable to agree to an
arbitrator, in which case the arbitrator will be selected under the procedures
of the AAA. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or
relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including,
without limitation, the issuance of an injunction. However, the Company may, at
its option without inconsistency with this arbitration provision, apply to any
court having jurisdiction over such dispute or controversy for the purpose of
seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce Sections 7, 8 and 9 of
this Agreement. Except as necessary in court proceedings to enforce this
arbitration provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to obtain interim
relief, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or
results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Company and the Executive. The Company and the Executive acknowledge that this
Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding
any choice of

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>

law provision included in this Agreement, the United States Federal Arbitration
Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration
provision.

          12.  NOTICE. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given when personally delivered or five days after deposit in the United States
mail, certified and return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed (a) if
to the Executive, to the most recent address then shown on the employment
records of the Company, with a copy to Bruce Bodner, 250 Park Avenue South, New

have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that
notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

          13.  SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law or rule in
any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement or the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any
other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced
in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had
never been contained herein.

          14.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or
representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have
related in any manner to the subject matter hereof.

          15.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be enforceable by
the Executive and the Executive's heirs, executors, administrators and legal
representatives, and by the Company and its successors and permitted assigns.
Any successor or permitted assign of the Company shall assume by instrument
delivered to the Executive the liabilities of the Company hereunder. This
Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company other than to a successor
pursuant to a merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all of
the capital stock or assets of the Company.

          16.  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York
without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

          17.  AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. The provisions of this Agreement may be
amended or waived only by the written agreement of the Company and the
Executive, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the
provisions of this Agreement shall affect the validity, binding effect or
enforceability of this Agreement.

              CONFIDENTIAL SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE
                                FOR RAMESH RAJAN

          This shall confirm the arrangements relating to the termination of
your employment with True North Communications Inc. (the "Company"). The
effective date of your termination of employment from the Company is
________________________ [INSERT LAST DAY OF EMPLOYMENT] (the "Termination
Date"). The terms of our agreement are as follows:

     1.   TERMINATION BENEFITS. Upon your termination, you will be entitled to
those benefits generally applicable to terminated employees, including
401(k)/retirement benefits, continuation of health coverage under COBRA, and a
payment for any accrued but unused vacation. In addition, in exchange for your
entering into this Agreement and Release, the Company will pay to you the
following benefits (the "Termination Benefits"):

          a.   The Company will provide you with the severance that the Company
is required to make to you pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 of a certain Employment
Agreement between you and the Company, dated as of January 1, 2000 (the
"Employment Agreement"), less the required federal, state and local
withholdings. This amount will be paid to you, beginning as soon as practicable
after the Termination Date, but no sooner than the eighth day following the date
you sign this Agreement and Release.

          b.   You shall also receive all such additional benefits which the
Company is required to provide to you pursuant to Section 5 of the Employment
Agreement, less any required federal, state and local withholdings. These
benefits will commence no sooner than the eighth day following the date you sign
this Agreement and Release.

     2.   CONSIDERATION. You hereby acknowledge that the benefits described in
Paragraph 1(a) and (b) exceed any duty to you on the part of the Company (by
virtue of Company policies and relevant laws) and that the Company's agreement
to provide such benefits to you is sufficient consideration for the release
terms set forth below.

     3.   COMPLETE RELEASE. By signing this Agreement and Release, you release
and waive all legal claims in law or in equity of any kind whatsoever that you
have or may have against the Company, including its parent and subsidiary
corporations, and their officers, directors, employees, affiliates, members,
agents, attorneys, benefit plans and plan administrators, successors and/or
assigns (collectively, the "Releasees"). This release and waiver covers all
rights, claims, actions and suits of all kinds and descriptions that you now
have or have ever had, whether known or unknown or based on facts now known or
unknown, fixed or contingent, against the Releasees, occurring from the
beginning of the world up to and including the date that you execute this
Agreement and Release. This release and waiver includes but is not limited to:

                                     - 11 -

          a.   any claims for wrongful termination, defamation, invasion of
privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, or any other common law
claims;

          b.   any claims for the breach of any written, implied or oral
contract between you and the Company, including but not limited to any contract
of employment;

          c.   any claims of discrimination, harassment or retaliation based on
such things as age, national origin, ancestry, race, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, or physical or mental disability or medical condition; and

          d.   any claims for payments of any nature, including but not limited
to wages, overtime pay, vacation pay, severance pay, commissions, bonuses and
benefits or the monetary equivalent of benefits; but not including the rights,
benefits and obligations contained in the following clauses 1 through 5 of this
Paragraph 3(d), which shall survive the execution of this Agreement and Release:
(1) the right to file an administrative charge, (2) any claims for unemployment
or workers' compensation benefits, (3) any claims for the consideration being
provided to you pursuant to Paragraph 1(a) and (b) of this Agreement and
Release, (4) any and all vested rights and benefits you may have as of the
Termination Date pursuant to the Company's qualified and non-qualified
retirement plans, and (5) any and all rights to indemnification to which you may
be entitled pursuant to law or pursuant to the by-laws and the certificate of
incorporation of any of the Releasees and their successors (including, but not
limited to, insurance benefits) by reason of your being named as a defendant in
any lawsuit or other proceeding in connection with your having served as an
officer or director of any entity: (x) which is either itself a Releasee, or (y)
although not itself a Releasee, your service as an officer or director was at
the request of, or for the benefit and with the knowledge of any Releasee.

Your release and waiver includes all claims that you have or that may arise
under the common law and all federal, state and local statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations and orders, including but not limited to any claim or cause
of action based on the Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Family and Medical
Leave Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Acts of 1866,
1871 and 1991, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the National Labor Relations Act,

above), the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, Executive
Order 11246, and any state laws governing employee rights, as each of them has
been or may be amended. You further waive any right to any form of recovery or
compensation from any legal action brought by you or on your behalf in
connection with your employment or termination of employment with the Company.
You also waive, release and discharge the Releasees from any reinstatement
rights which you have or could have, and you acknowledge that you have not
suffered any on-the-job injury for which you have not already filed a claim.

This Agreement and Release shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of you
and the Releasees and any other individual or entity who may claim any interest
in the matter through you. You also acknowledge that you have not assigned any
of your rights to make the aforementioned claims or demands. By signing this
Agreement and Release, you are forever giving up your rights to make the
aforementioned claims or demands.

     7.   CONFIDENTIALITY/NON-COMPETITION/COMPANY PROPERTY. You acknowledge that
you have had access to confidential, proprietary business information of the
Company as a result of employment, and you hereby agree not to use such

possession including, but not limited to, all computer-related equipment, keys,
credit cards, telephone calling cards, parking cards, building identification
cards and files/diskettes relating to the Company and its clients. You also
hereby acknowledge and reaffirm your continuing obligations to the Company

obligations under the Employment Agreement and any other agreements specifically
referenced herein, you hereby acknowledge and represent that this Agreement and
Release contains the entire agreement between you and the Company, and it

its current or former affiliates. You further acknowledge and represent that
neither the Company nor any of its agents, representatives or employees have
made any promise, representation or warranty whatsoever, express, implied or
statutory, not contained herein, concerning the subject matter hereof, to induce

Zaffire Technical Assistance Center (TAC)

         The Zaffire TAC is the focal point of Zaffire support services. Network
Support Engineers (NSEs), who possess detailed knowledge of the complete product
family and all aspects of [***] staff our global TAC located in San Jose,
California. In addition to the TAC personnel, Zaffire also has field-based
Network Support Engineers and Systems Engineers available to assist with pre-and
post-sales issues.

The TAC consists of three groups:

TIER ONE SUPPORT GROUP

         The Tier One Support Group is the first point of contact into Zaffire's
TAC. These individuals take the first call, and ensure that the proper
information is entered into the Call Tracking System (CTS"). In addition, the
FLS staff assists the Partner with simple configuration and problem resolution.

TIER TWO SUPPORT GROUP

         Once a case has been entered into the CTS, a Zaffire NSE handles the
case. The NSEs are grouped according to product type and it is their job to work
a case to closure or escalate to the Tier Three Support Group. This strong
teaming aspect within the TAC, and within the product groups, develops
additional experience and leadership.

         The NSEs have access to labs with Zaffire equipment, as well as
equipment from other vendors, to assist in recreating whatever problem the
Partner may be experiencing. In addition to the equipment in the labs, the
engineers have access to the most modern analysis tools.

TIER THREE SUPPORT GROUP

         This team is the escalation point from the Tier Two Support Group to
ensure that problems are solved in an expeditious time frame and Partner
satisfaction is maintained.

         This is a group of senior Network Analysts, Program Managers and
Development Engineers dedicated to working on the critical network problems.
This organization is responsible for ensuring all available resources are
applied to the problem so that a resolution can be reached as quickly as
possible for all escalated cases.

FIELD NETWORK SUPPORT ENGINEERING

         In the event that on-site support is required, Zaffire has post-sales
field resources available to assist Partnersfield resources in restoring an
End-User's network to an operational state. These network engineering resources
are deployed by Zaffire's support management.

         4.1      TAC Process

                                       -2-
<PAGE>

                  Partner and End-User work on case.
                  Case resolution requires participation by Zaffire's TAC.
                  Partner accesses the TAC via methods listed above. A case is
                  opened in Zaffire's Call Tracking System (CTS). The call is
                  assigned a customer case tracking number The Partner is
                  advised of the case tracking number for their query. A NSE is
                  assigned to the case and the priority set.
                  The NSE, working with the Partner, is responsible for the case
                  until it is closed.

         4.2      Accessing the TAC

         Zaffire offers multiple access methods to reach the 24x7 TAC:

                  7x24x365 telephone at +1 408 894-7580
                  Email to SUPPORT@ZAFFIRE.COM
                  Fax to +1 408 894-7200

         4.3      Site ID

         The site ID is a very important piece of the support model. All
Partners under a support services plan will have a site ID that must be used
when calling the TAC. This will ensure the following occurs:

         All information for a particular Partner is consistent in Zaffire
         database. Partner will see cases that are opened to Partners site ID on
         the TACtics Online system. Proper escalation and notification of
         problems can occur to proper account management. Any network drawings
         or site specific information are linked and available at time of call.
         Partner receives the proper level of service.

         If the site ID is unknown, an email should be sent to
support@zaffire.com that provides detailed company information and the Zaffire
Service group will provide the correct site ID.

         4.4      Case Priority Matrix

         Cases opened in the TAC are given a severity level agreed upon between
the NSE and the Partner as follows:

HARDWARE SUPPORT

         The following describes hardware replacement via a Return Material
Authorization (RMA). The process for submitting an RMA is described in Section
9.

         5.1      Advance Replacement

         Parts (serial number based) covered under this option will be shipped
out for advance replacement once the RMA is received and issued by the RMA
department, Monday through Friday. The part can be shipped to either the Partner
or the End-User and this be will determined at time of the RMA. Zaffire may, at
[***] option, issue a new or reconditioned, good-as-new part.

         It is the responsibility of the Partner to retrieve the defective part
and return the same to Zaffire within [***] of the receipt of the replacement
part. Equipment not received by Zaffire within [***] will be invoiced to the
Partner at [***].

         5.2      Return Material Authorization (RMA) Process

                  1. Partner calls TAC and establishes a Customer Case number.
                  2. TAC will assist where necessary in initial fault
                     information.
                  3. TAC/Partner will determine what part needs to be replaced
                     and obtain serial number.
                  4. Case is transferred to the RMA department.
                  5. RMA department will check for hardware support option and
                     issue Partner an RMA number.

         Equipment returned without a valid RMA number will be rejected by
Zaffire's receiving department.

         5.3      Return of Defective Product

         Defective product must be returned to Zaffire within [***] of receipt
of the advance replacement. Partner will be billed the full value of the product

                 RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION (RMA) PROCEDURES

       1.     The Purchaser fills in a RMA problem form (see attachment below)
              which describes the particular problem and the serial number of
              the Product. The form is faxed or e-mailed to the contact person
              (for RMA) at the Supplier.

       2.     The Supplier responds to the RMA request providing an RMA number
              (based on need).

       3.     The Product is shipped to the Suppliers facility (San Jose,
              California) with the RMA problem form so that the Supplier can
              quickly trace out the related problem for each Product and
              test/verify the problem.

       4.     The Supplier uses an RMA form (see attachment below) as a travel
              form, which travels with the Product through the various entities
              in the production/RMA/QA loop for processing. Each party fills in
              additional details until the form is cleared (all details are
              complete) and signed.

       5.     The Product is fixed during its travel and is then shipped with
              the RMA form back to the Purchaser.
