                              Separation Agreement

Effective as of August 12, 2002, that parties hereto agree that the Employment
Agreement made and entered into as of October 1, 1998, by and between The
viaLink Company (the "Company") and Robert N. Baker (the "Employee"), together
with all amendments thereto (collectively, the "Employment Agreement") shall be
terminated on the following terms:

1.   The Company and Employee acknowledge that the effective date of Employee's
     separation and termination of employment shall be the effective date of
     this Agreement; provided, however, only that compensation set forth in this
     Agreement shall be paid to Employee, whether or not accrued prior to the
     effective date of separation date. Compensation or other payment set forth
     in the Employment Agreement not specifically addressed herein, such as
     automobile allowances or expenses, shall terminate effective August 12,
     2002.

2.   Employee shall receive payment at Employee's current rate of compensation
     on August 16, 2002. Thereafter, Company and Employee agree that Company
     shall pay Employee twenty-six (26) biweekly payments of $4,575.73 each
     starting on August 30, 2002, for a total aggregate payment of $118,968.98.
     All normal and customary payroll deductions currently in effect (such as
     FICA, Federal income tax withholding, and employee-authorized deductions
     for benefit plans), and which per this Agreement are anticipated to
     continue, shall continue to be made as appropriate. Any expenses submitted
     by or payable to Employee and which are pending as of the effective date of
     this Agreement shall be reviewed, approved, and paid by the Company to
     Employee in the normal course of reimbursement or payment.

3.   The Company will cause its records to reflect that Employee is on furlough
     until August 30, 2003; however, Employee may be employed elsewhere during
     the furlough period. For purposes of continuing Employee's coverage under
     the Company's health (medical, dental, and vision) insurance plans, to the
     extent legally permissible the Company shall report to the Company's
     insurers Employee's status in such manner as best calculated to continue
     Employee's coverage under those plans. Employee shall not be regarded as
     continuing Employee's employment with the Company for any other reason.

4.   The Company will cause the administrator of the stock option plan of the
     Company to reflect continuing vesting (pursuant either to vesting over time
     or a change in control as defined in the plan under which the options were
     granted) until August 30, 2003, of all stock options granted by the Company
     to Employee; options not vested by August 30, 2003, shall be terminated and
     not replaced. All options vested and to become vested shall continue in
     force in accordance with the terms and conditions of the stock option plan
     until August 30, 2005, upon which date they will expire without notice to
     Employee, (unless Employee has previously exercised the options, in which
     case they will be terminated by virtue of exercise and not replaced).

5.   Employee shall keep the laptop computer, monitor, printer, computer cables
     and accessories, Palm Pilot, and cellular telephone currently owned by the
     Company but in

<PAGE>

     Employee's possession. To the extent Employee has any other property of the
     Company in Employee's possession, including files, manuals, and papers,
     Employee shall return it to the Company. Employee shall promptly surrender
     Employee's laptop computer to the Company for appropriate security
     screening and removal of appropriate programs and files, and the Company
     shall return Employee's laptop computer to Employee within 48 hours of
     receipt by the Company. Employee's cellular telephone number shall promptly
     be transferred to Employee at Employee's expense.

6.   Employee has twenty-two (22) days accrued vacation as of the effective date
     of this Agreement, having a gross value of $13,422.20. The Company shall
     pay to Employee in lump sum the gross value of the accrued vacation on
     August 30, 2002, as a special item included with the biweekly payment set
     forth in this Agreement.

7.   Concurrently with this Agreement Employee shall be issued restricted common
     stock, bearing a legend, the amount of which shall be determined by
     dividing the lump sum severance due under the Employment Agreement to
     Employee ($423,793.75) by a per share price of $0.0892, which is the volume
     weighted average price as reported by Bloomberg Financial for the trading
     day (August 9, 2002) immediately preceding the date of this Agreement. The
     restricted shares shall become tradable in two tranches; the first
     certificate shall be for 2,375,526shares and shall bear a legend preventing
     the shares from becoming freely tradable, subject to the provisions hereof,
     until on or after January 1, 2003, and the second certificate shall be for
     2,375,525 shares and shall also bear a legend preventing the shares from
     becoming freely tradable, subject to the provisions hereof, until on or
     after January 1, 2004; at all times prior to the stated states in the
     legends the stock shall also bear a legend indicating the Company shall
     have no obligation to remove the legend until (i) the applicable date
     occurs, and (ii) the Company receives Employee's demand, accompanied by the
     applicable stock certificate, for removal of the legend. In the event the
     Company undertakes a registration of common stock at any time, Employee may
     demand that Employee's stock also be registered as a part of that
     registration. If, prior to January 1, 2003, the Company does not undertake
     any registration of its common stock, Employee shall be entitled to demand
     registration of the stock (all 4,751,051 shares) hereunder granted;
     provided, the Company shall have ninety(90) days following receipt of
     Employee's demand in which to accomplish the registration of Employee's
     stock The Company shall have no obligation to register portions of the
     stock herein issued; any registration for Employee, whether pursuant to
     so-called "piggyback" rights or Employee's demand, shall only be undertaken
     for all shares hereunder granted. NOTHING SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
     ACT TO SUPERSEDE OR WAIVE ANY LEGAL REQUIREMENT PLACED UPON EMPLOYEE BY
     VIRTUE OF EMPLOYEE'S STATUS AS AN AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY, AS THE TERM
     "AFFILIATE" IS DEFINED BY THE U. S. SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS
     AMENDED (the "Exchange Act"), AND EMPLOYEE UNDERTAKES TO COMPLY WITH ANY
     AND ALL LAWS AND REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYEE'S TRADING
     IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY. Employee acknowledges that the tax
     consequences of this grant are Employee's responsibility to determine and
     pay and not the Company's. Employee acknowledges and agrees that

<PAGE>

     Employee's continuing service as an Affiliate of the Company by virtue of
     Employee's service on the Company's Board of Directors subjects and will
     subject Employee to close control of Employee's buying and selling activity
     with respect to stock of the Company, and Employee hereby confirms that
     such controls as may be placed upon all Affiliates shall be binding upon
     Employee when and however placed upon Affiliates by the Company. In the
     event of a Change of Control, the dates upon which the stock shall become
     freely tradable shall immediately and without notice or demand to the
     Company change to and become the date of the Change of Control. For
     purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall mean:

     (a) The acquisition by any person, entity or "group", within the meaning of
     Sections 13 (d) (3) or 14 (d) (2) of the Exchange Act of beneficial

     COMPANY subsequent to the date hereof whose election (or nomination for
     election by COMPANY's stockholders) was approved by a vote of at least a
     majority of the members then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be, for
     purposes of this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member
     of the Incumbent Board, or (ii) that any member of the Board of Directors

     or

     For purposes of this Section 7 of the Agreement, the term "Voting
     Securities" shall mean all outstanding classes of voting capital stock of
     the COMPANY entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the
     COMPANY.

8.   Provided e-mail services continue to be available at addresses ending in
     "@vialink.com," Employee's e-mail address at the Company and service in
     connection therewith shall be continued for a period of one (1) year or
     until Employee's departure from the Company's Board of Directors, whichever
     occurs last. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the e-mail transmitted
     to Employee's e-mail address at the Company is Company property. For such
     time as the Company's voicemail system shall continue to be active at the
     Company's current address, all voicemail messages intended for Employee
     shall be regarded by the parties and treated in the same manner as e-mail
     messages intended for Employee.

     non-hiring of employees of the Company, all as set forth in the Employment
     Agreement, shall continue in full force and effect throughout the term of
     this Agreement, ending effective as of August 30, 2004.

     Agreement shall supersede and control any contrary provision of any other
     agreement between the parties and shall be binding upon each party's heirs,
     successors, and assigns, as applicable.
