                    AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                    -----------------------------------------

      AGREEMENT made as of the 1st day of January 1999, by and between THE

New York, New York (hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), and CRAIG D.
BROWN whose address is 39 Keelers Ridge Road, Wilton, Connecticut 06897
(hereinafter referred to as the "Executive").

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

      WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company (formerly known as D'Arcy Masius
Benton & Bowles, Inc.) entered into an Employment Agreement, dated as of January
1, 1994 (the "Prior Employment Agreement"); and

      WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive now desire to amend and restate the
terms of such Employment Agreement, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth.

                                   AGREEMENTS
                                   ----------

      It is therefore mutually agreed between the parties hereto as follows:

            1.    Office.
                  -------

                  The Company agrees to employ the Executive as Vice Chairman,
Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company for the Term
specified in Section 2, and the Executive agrees to accept such employment and
to serve in such capacities upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

<PAGE>

            2.    Term.
                  -----

                  Unless this Agreement is sooner terminated under the
provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be for a minimum term of three years
commencing as of January 1, 1999 and ending on December 31, 2001, and shall
continue thereafter until terminated either by the Company upon not less than
twelve months prior written notice to the Executive, or by the Executive upon
not less than six months prior written notice to the Company, which notices may
be given at any time specifying an effective termination date on or after
December 31, 2001 (hereinafter referred to as the "Term"). The foregoing notice
provisions shall not apply in the case of a termination of the Executive's
employment pursuant to Sections 7 or 8 below.

            3.    Duties and Responsibilities.
                  ----------------------------

                  (a) Throughout the Term, Executive shall serve as and shall
hold the positions of Vice Chairman, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the Company, and in such capacities the Executive shall perform such
duties and responsibilities commensurate with such positions as may be assigned
to him from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer and/or Board of
Directors of the Company. The Executive's employment by the Company shall be
full-time and exclusive, and during the Term of this Agreement, the Executive
agrees that he will (i) devote all his business time and attention and his best
efforts, skill and ability to promote the Company's interests; and (ii)
generally promote the interests both of the Company and the clients of the
Company. The foregoing shall not be construed as preventing the Executive from
making passive investments in other non-competing businesses, nor shall the
Executive be precluded from owning less than 1/4 of 1% of a competing company,
the stock of which is listed on a recognized stock exchange or actively traded
on an over-the-counter market.

                  (b) The Executive's services will be rendered primarily at the
Company's principal executive offices presently located in New York City. It is
acknowledged

                                       2

<PAGE>

however that, as in the past, Executive's services will require extensive
amounts of domestic and international travel.

            4.    Compensation.
                  -------------

                  As compensation for the services to be rendered to the Company
during the Term, and in consideration of the Executive's agreements herein,
including but not limited to the agreements set forth in Section 9 below, the
Executive shall be entitled to the compensation provided for below in this
Section 4.

                  (a) The Executive shall receive salary compensation at his
annual rate in effect on December 31, 1998 during the period of January 1, 1999
through March 31, 1999. Commencing April 1, 1999 and thereafter during the Term,
the Company shall pay the Executive, in accordance with the Company's normal
payroll practices, salary compensation at a rate of $605,000 per annum. Such
annual salary shall not be subject to decrease, but may be increased by the
Company at any time at the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors of the Company.

                  (b) During the Term, the Executive shall receive annual
incentive bonuses, subject to achievement of certain "after tax" profit goals
and objectives, as determined by the Compensation Committee and/or the Chief
Executive Officer in their sole discretion. Any such incentive bonuses shall be
calculated and paid in accordance with the Company's standard policies and
practices governing executive incentive compensation.

                  (c) (i) In addition to any bonuses pursuant to Section 4(b)
            above, the Executive will be entitled to receive as long-term
            incentive compensation (the "Long-Term IC") the aggregate amounts
            earned in accordance with the plan set forth in Annex A attached to
            this Agreement. The amount of such earned

                                       3

<PAGE>

            incentive compensation, if any, shall be paid in two equal annual
            installments. The first 50% installment will be paid on or before
            April 30, 2002 and the second and final 50% installment will be paid
            on or before April 30, 2003, subject to the Executive's continued
            compliance with all the material terms and conditions of this
            Agreement. No interest shall accrue on such Long-Term IC payments,
            and such payments will be reduced by all applicable withholdings,
            deductions and payroll taxes. The Compensation Committee of the
            Board of Directors shall be entitled from time to time to amend or
            modify the incentive compensation plan set forth in Annex A,
            provided, that no such amendment or modification can be detrimental
            to the Executive without his written consent.

                  (ii) In the event that the Executive's employment with the
            Company terminates prior to December 31, 2001 as a result of his
            voluntarily leaving the Company's employ, in violation of his
            obligations to the Company as set forth in Section 3 above, or as a
            result of his discharge by the Company for "cause" (as defined
            herein), then no portion of the Long-Term IC earned under this
            Section 4(c) shall be payable by the Company.

                  (iii) In the event that the Executive's employment with the
            Company terminates prior to December 31, 2001 for any reason other
            than as described in (ii) above, the Executive, or his beneficiary
            in the case of his death, shall be entitled to receive (x) in the
            case of the termination of his employment during the calendar year
            ending December 31, 1999, an amount equal to the Long-Term IC earned
            under Annex A for the 1999 calendar year, multiplied by 3; (y) in
            the case of the termination of his employment during the calendar
            year ending December 31, 2000, an amount equal to the average of the
            Long-Term IC earned under Annex A for the 1999 and 2000 calendar
            years, multiplied by 3; and (z) in the case of the termination of
            his employment during the calendar year ending December 31, 2001,
            all Long-Term IC earned in accordance with Annex A

                                       4

<PAGE>

            through the end of such year ending December 31, 2001. Any Long-Term
            IC payable pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be paid within 120
            days after the end of the calendar year in which the Executive's
            termination of employment occurs, and shall be in lieu of any
            payment under Section 4(c)(i) above.

                  (d) The Company shall not merge or consolidate with any other
corporation or business unless and until such other corporation or business
shall expressly assume the responsibilities of the Company to make all the
payments provided for in this Section 4. The Company further agrees that if, at
any time prior to the making of the last payment to be paid to or on account of
the Executive hereunder, it shall liquidate or dissolve, it shall, before any
such liquidation or dissolution, make proper provisions for the continuation of
the payments to the Executive, or to his beneficiary or beneficiaries, as set
forth in this Agreement.

            5.    Expenses.
                  ---------

                  The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive during the
Term for all reasonable, ordinary and necessary vouchered business expenses
incurred in the performance of his services hereunder in accordance with the
Company's policy as from time to time in effect.

            6.    Other Benefits.
                  ---------------

                  During the Term the Executive shall be entitled to participate
in all life, health, travel or other insurance programs, financial planning
services, and other fringe benefits as are now, or hereafter may be, established
by the Company for the benefit of the Company's employees generally, or for the
officers of the Company generally, or for its senior executive officers
generally, subject, however, to the provisions of the various benefit plans and
programs

                                       5

<PAGE>

in effect from time to time. During each calendar year of the Term, the
Executive shall be entitled to four weeks paid vacation, consistent with past
practices.

            7.    Discharge by Company.
                  ---------------------

                  The Company shall be entitled, at any time, by written notice
to the Executive, to terminate the Term and to discharge the Executive for
"cause". The term "cause" shall be defined as one of the following grounds:

                  (a) The Executive's failure or refusal to perform his duties
and responsibilities as set forth in Section 3 hereof, continuing after written
notice from the Company specifying the nature of such failure or refusal and a
reasonable opportunity to cure;

                  (b) Dishonesty affecting the Company;

                  (c) Conviction of a felony or of any crime involving moral
turpitude, fraud or misrepresentation;

                  (d) Any willful and intentional act having the effect of
materially injuring the reputation, business or business relationships of the
Company; and

                  (e) Any material breach (not covered by any of the clauses (a)
through (d)) of any of the provisions of this Agreement, which is not cured
within a reasonable period after written notice from the Company specifying such
breach.

            8.    Disability: Death.
                  ------------------

                                       6

<PAGE>

                  (a) In the event the Executive shall be unable to perform his
duties hereunder at the office of the Company by virtue of illness or physical
or mental incapacity or disability (from any cause or causes whatsoever) in
substantially the manner and to the extent required hereunder prior to the
commencement of such disability, and the Executive shall fail to perform such
duties for periods aggregating 180 days, whether or not continuous, in any
continuous period of 365 days, and provided that the Executive shall meet the
definition of permanent disability under the disability income insurance policy
issued on the Executive's life by National Life of Vermont, on July 1, 1982,
Policy #D1776311, or any other policy that may be substituted in its place and
stead, the Company shall have the right to terminate Executive's employment
hereunder as at the end of any calendar month thereafter by promptly giving
Executive written notice thereof.

                  (b) In the event of the death of the Executive, the Term of
this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of Executive's death.

            9.    Non-Competition & Protection of Confidential Information.
                  ---------------------------------------------------------

                  (a) The Executive agrees that his services hereunder are of a
special, unique, extraordinary and intellectual character, and his position with
the Company places him in a position of confidence and trust with clients and
employees of the Company. The Executive also acknowledges that the business of
the Company is worldwide and accordingly, it is reasonable that the restrictive
covenants set forth below are not limited by specific geographic area. The
Executive further acknowledges that the rendering of services to the clients of
the Company necessarily requires the disclosure or use of confidential
information and trade secrets of the Company. The Executive and the Company
agree that in the course of employment hereunder, the Executive has and will
continue to develop a personal acquaintanceship and relationship with the
Company's clients, and a knowledge of those clients' affairs and requirements
which may constitute the Company's primary or only contact with such

                                       7

<PAGE>

clients. The Executive acknowledges that the Company's relationships with its
established clientele may therefore be placed in the Executive's hands in
confidence and trust. The Executive consequently agrees that it is reasonable
and necessary for the protection of the goodwill and business of the Company
that the Executive make the covenants contained herein. Accordingly, the
Executive agrees that while he is in the Company's employ and for a two-year
period after the termination of his employment for any reason whatsoever, he
shall not directly or indirectly:

                        (i) attempt in any manner to solicit from any client
            (except on behalf of the Company) business of the type performed by
            the Company or to persuade any client of the Company to cease to do
            business or to reduce the amount of business which any such client
            has customarily done or contemplated doing with the Company, whether
            or not the relationship between the Company and such client was
            originally established in whole or in part through his efforts;

                        (ii) employ or attempt to employ or assist anyone else
            to employ (except on behalf of the Company) any person who is then
            in the Company's employ, or who was in the Company's employ at any
            time during the then immediately preceding two years; or

                        (iii) render any services of the type rendered by the
            Company to its clients to or for any client of the Company unless
            such services are rendered as an employee or consultant of the
            Company.

            As used in this Section 9, the term "Company" shall mean the Company
and each of its direct and indirect subsidiary companies; and the term "client"
shall mean (1) any person, corporation or entity which is a client of the
Company at the date of termination of the

                                       8

<PAGE>

Executive's employment or, if the Executive's employment shall not have
terminated, at the time of the alleged prohibited conduct; (2) any person,
corporation or entity which was a client of the Company at any time during the
one year period immediately preceding the date of termination of the Executive's
employment or, if the Executive's employment shall not have terminated, during
the one year period immediately preceding the alleged prohibited conduct; and
(3) any prospective clients to whom the Company had made a formal presentation
(or similar offering of services) within a period of one year immediately
preceding the date of such termination of employment or, if the Executive's
employment shall not have terminated, during the one year period immediately
preceding the alleged prohibited conduct.

                  (b) The Executive also agrees that he will not at any time
(whether during the Term or after termination of this Agreement), disclose to
anyone any confidential information or trade secrets of the Company or any
client of the Company, or utilize such confidential information or trade secrets
for his own benefit, or for the benefit of third parties and all memoranda,
notes, records or other documents compiled by him or made available to him
during the Term concerning the business of the Company and/or its clients shall
be the property of the Company and shall be delivered to the Company on the
termination of his employment or at any other time upon request.

                  (c) If the Executive commits a breach or threatens to commit a
breach, of any of the provisions of (a) or (b) above, the Company shall have the
right to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any
court having equity jurisdiction without being required to post bond or other
security and without having to prove the inadequacy of the available remedies at
law, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach
will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not
provide an adequate remedy to the Company. In addition, the Company may

                                       9

<PAGE>

take all such other actions and remedies available to it under law or in equity
and shall be entitled to such damages as it can show it has sustained by reason
of such breach.

                  (d) If the Executive shall violate any of the covenants
contained in (a) and (b) above, and such violation shall continue for a period
of 30 days after notice by the Company to the Executive in which the Company
points out the respect or respects in which the Executive is violating any such
covenants of this Agreement, then and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein contained, and without in any way waiving any other legal or equitable
rights the Company has or may have, no further bonus or other compensation
payments under Section 4 shall be due or payable by the Company hereunder to the
Executive or any beneficiary of his, and all further liability of the Company to
make payments as above set forth shall fully terminate.

                  (e) The parties acknowledge that the type and period of
restriction imposed in the provisions of (a) and (b) above, are fair and
reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company and the
goodwill associated with the business of the Company. If any of the covenants in
(a) or (b) above, or any part thereof, is hereafter construed to be invalid or
unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or
covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid
portions. If any of the covenants contained in (a) or (b), or any part thereof,
is held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provisions or the
area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination
shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or areas of such provision and,
in its reduced form, said provision shall then be enforceable. The parties
hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants
contained in (a) and (b) above upon the courts of any state within the
geographical scope of such covenants. In the event that the courts of any one or
more of such states shall hold such covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of
the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties
hereto that such

                                       10

<PAGE>

determination not bar or in any way affect the Company's right to the relief
provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical
scope of such covenants, as to breaches or such covenants in such other
respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each state
being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

            10.   Enforceability.
                  ---------------

                  The failure of either party at any time to require performance
by the other party of any provision hereunder shall in no way affect the right
of that party thereafter to enforce the same, nor shall it affect any other
party's right to enforce the same, or to enforce any of the other provisions in
this Agreement; nor shall the waiver by either party of the breach of any
provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of
such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.

            11.   Modification.
                  -------------

                  This Agreement may not be orally cancelled, changed, modified
or amended, and no cancellation, change, modification or amendment shall be
effective or binding, unless in writing and signed by both parties to this
Agreement, and approved by the Compensation Committee.

            12.   Severability; Survival.
                  -----------------------

                  In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be
void and unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless be binding upon the parties with
the same effect as though the void or unenforceable part had been severed and
deleted. The provisions of Section 9 hereof and this Section 12 shall survive
the termination of the Agreement.

            13.   Applicable Law
                  --------------

                                       11

<PAGE>

                  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made
and to be performed entirely within New York.

            14.   Entire Agreement.
                  -----------------

                  With the exception of the terms of the plans and benefit
programs referred to in Section 6 above (including in particular the terms of
the Salary Continuation Agreement and the Restricted Stock Transfer Agreements
between the Company and the Executive), this Agreement represents the entire
agreement between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject
matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes in its entirety the Prior Employment
Agreement, which agreement shall be of no further force or effect.

            15.   Headings.
                  ---------

                  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only, and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement.

            16.   Effectiveness.
                  --------------

                  The provisions set forth in this document shall not be subject
to the provisions of any other agreement to which any of the parties hereto are
party, unless explicitly provided for otherwise herein or in any subsequent
agreement.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have set their hands and seals on the
27th day of September, 1999 as of the day and year first above written.

                                                                         -------

                      LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
                      --------------------------------------

            1. The Long-Term IC shall be based upon the profit margin
achievement of the Company and calculated and earned on an annual basis as
described in paragraph 2 below.

            2. At the end of each of the calendar years 1999 through and
including 2001, the actual Annual Profit Margin for such year will be compared
to the applicable Minimum and Maximum Margin Goals. The Long-Term IC earned for
such year will then be determined as follows:

                  (i)   If the actual Annual Profit Margin for such year is less
            than or equal to the Minimum Margin Goal for such year, then the
            Long-Term IC earned for such year shall be zero;

                  (ii)  If the actual Annual Profit Margin for such year equals
            or exceeds the Maximum Margin Goal for such year, then the
            Performance Against Plan Compensation earned for such year shall be
            $500,000 (subject to enhancement as described in (iv) below); and

                  (iii) If the actual Annual Profit Margin for such year exceeds
            the Minimum Margin Goal but is less than the Maximum Margin Goal for
            such year, then the Long-Term IC earned for such year shall be an
            amount equal to $500,000 multiplied by the percentage (rounded to
            the nearest tenth of one percent) obtained from dividing (a) the
            excess of the actual Annual Profit Margin over the Minimum Margin
            Goal, by (b) the difference between the Maximum Margin Goal and the
            Minimum Margin Goal. (Example: If Minimum Margin Goal is 9.5%, and
            Maximum Margin Goal is 10.5%, and the actual Annual Profit Margin is
            10.2%, the Long-Term IC earned for such year will be

            70% of $500,000 or $350,000). This award shall also be subject to
            enhancement as described in (iv) below.

                        (iv) Each of the Long-Term IC awards earned for the 1999
            through 2001 calendar years (as determined under clauses (ii) and
            (iii) above) will be subject to increase by adding thereto an amount
            equal to the applicable Award Enhancer multiplied by the amount of
            such award otherwise determined under clauses (ii) and (iii) above.

            3. The Long-Term IC earned for each of the years as provided in
paragraph 2 above shall be aggregated, and such total earned Long-Term IC shall
be payable in the installments as provided in the attached Employment Agreement.

            4. Definitions:

Company's accountants shall be final and binding upon the Executive and the
Company. All fees and expenses related to any such determination by the

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                              --------------------

      This Agreement is made and entered into as of August 17, 2001 (the
"Effective Date"), by and between Eileen A. Kamerick (the "Executive") and BCOM3
Group, Inc. ("BCOM3") and Leo Burnett USA, Inc. ("LBU"), on behalf of themselves
and each of their respective predecessors, successors, assigns, affiliates and
subsidiaries (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the "Company").

      The parties desire to enter into this Agreement pertaining to the
employment of the Executive as Chief Financial Officer of BCOM3. Therefore, in
consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, it is
hereby covenanted and agreed by the Executive, LBU and BCOM3 as follows:

1.    Employment
      ----------

(a)   Subject to the terms of this Agreement and during the Employment Term,
      Executive agrees to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of BCOM3 ("CFO").

(b)   Subject to the terms of this Agreement, LBU agrees to employ the Executive
      during the Employment Term, to make Executive's services available to
      BCOM3 to serve as CFO, and to provide such compensation and benefits to
      Executive as are contained in this Agreement or later directed by BCOM3.

(c)   BCOM3 agrees to compensate LBU for the entire cost of Executive's services
      during the Employment Term, including any costs that arise pursuant to
      this Agreement pursuant to a Change in Control or otherwise.

2.    Performance of Services.
      -----------------------

(a)   During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote her full time,
      energies and talents to serving as BCOM3's Chief Financial Officer.

(b)   The Executive agrees that she shall perform her duties faithfully and
      efficiently subject to the directions of the Chief Executive Officer of
      BCOM3 (the "CEO"); provided, however, that the Executive shall not,
      without her consent, be assigned tasks that would be inconsistent with
      those of a CFO.

(c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 2, during the
      Employment Term the Executive may devote reasonable time to activities
      other than those required under this Agreement, including the supervision
      of personal investments, and activities involving professional,
      charitable, community, educational, religious and similar types of
      organizations, speaking engagements, membership on the boards of directors
      of other organizations, and similar types of activities, to the extent
      that such other activities do not, in the judgment of the CEO, inhibit or
      prohibit the performance of the Executive's duties under this Agreement,
      or conflict in any material way with the business of the Company; provided
      that Executive shall not serve on the board of any business, or hold

                                    1 of 12

<PAGE>

      any other position with any other for-profit business, without the prior
      consent of the CEO.

(d)   The Executive shall be considered one of BCOM3's "Senior Management
      Employees," a group that includes other senior executives and officers,
      but not including the BCOM3 CEO. Except as provided in this Agreement, or
      as specifically authorized by the CEO with the Executive's approval, the
      Executive will be subject to Company policies, such as policies relating
      to conflict of interest, professional practices, benefits, expense
      reimbursement, etc., that are applicable to and consistently applied to
      BCOM3's other Senior Management Employees.

3.    Compensation and Benefits.
      -------------------------

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the Employment Term, while the
Executive is employed by the Company, the Company shall compensate her for her
services as follows:

(a)   Salary. The Executive shall receive, for each 12-consecutive month period
      an annual base salary of not less than $500,000.00 (the "Salary"), paid in
      substantially equal monthly or more frequent installments. The Salary
      shall not be reduced unless the reduction is in connection with, and
      proportionate to, a reduction for other BCOM3 Senior Management Employees,
      and if reduced, shall be increased to at least $500,000.00 as quickly as
      and on the same terms as for other BCOM3 Senior Management Employees.

(b)   Bonus. The Executive shall be entitled to receive bonuses from the Company
      pursuant to the BCOM3 Incentive Compensation Plan. The actual amount of
      the bonus will be determined by the CEO, at the CEO's sole discretion.
      However, the "target" bonus for each calendar year (the "Compensation
      Year") is 60% of the Salary paid in the Compensation Year, with 80% of the
      total bonus based on BCOM3 financial performance and 20% of the total
      bonus based on personal performance. The actual bonus amount for each
      Compensation Year is paid in the subsequent year, after financial results
      for BCOM3 for the Compansation Year are finalized.

(c)   Options. The Executive shall be granted an option to purchase 10,000
      shares of BCOM3 stock, with an exercise price determined by the Board as
      "fair value" at the time of grant, and a vesting schedule and other terms
      in accordance with the BCOM3 2000 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan.

(d)   Health and Welfare Benefits. In general, BCOM3 benefit plans will apply to
      the Executive as to other BCOM3 Senior Management Employees. Some of these
      plans are being designed currently. In the absence of a "BCOM3 benefit
      plan," the Executive shall immediately be eligible for participation in
      LBU health and welfare plans at the level accorded an Executive Vice
      President of LBU.

(e)   Retirement Benefits. BCOM3 retirement plans are being designed currently.
      Such plans will apply to Executive as to other BCOM3 Senior Management
      Employees.

                                    2 of 12

<PAGE>

(f)   Perquisites. The Executive shall be provided individual life insurance
      coverage in the amount of $1.5 million. The Executive shall be reimbursed
      for financial planning services in an amount up to $4,000 per year. The
      Executive shall be provided parking in the garage at 35 W. Wacker Drive,
      if available, or shall be reimbursed for parking at a nearby facility if
      parking at 35 W. Wacker Drive is not available. The Executive shall be
      entitled to reimbursement for up to $600 for an annual physical
      examination.

(g)   D&O Insurance. The Company shall maintain directors and officers liability
      insurance in commercially reasonable amounts (as reasonably determined by
      the Board), and the Executive shall be covered under such insurance to the
      same extent as other BCOM3 Senior Management Employees.

(h)   Signing Bonus. The Executive will be paid a one-time bonus of $125,000 to
      be paid within 30 days of the start of Executive's employment.

(i)   Change in Control. The Company is in the process of adopting Change in
      Control benefits for key executives. The Change in Control benefit will be
      the same for all key executives of the Company (including the Executive,
      but not necessarily including the CEO). The terms of the Change in Control
      benefit cannot be specified or guaranteed, and are, in any event, subject
      to Board approval. However, the Change in Control benefit is expected to
      provide for "market normal" compensation in the case that a key executive
      is terminated or constructively terminated in connection with a Change in
      Control.

      The definition of a "Change in Control" for purposes of the general plan
      for key executives is subject to further discussion and Board approval.
      However, the following shall constitute a "Change in Control" for
      Executive, even if some such event would not be a "Change in Control"
      under the general plan for key executives:

      "Change in Control" means the occurrence of one or more of the following
       -----------------
      events at any time on or before December 31, 2005:

            benefit plan or a trustee or other administrator or fiduciary
            holding securities under a Company employee benefit plan or any
            voting trustee under the Voting Trust Agreement (an "Exempt
            Person"), is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as such term is
            defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
            indirectly, of securities of Bcom3 representing one-third or more of
            the combined voting power of Bcom3's then outstanding securities; or

      (2)   during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
            beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new directors
            whose election by the Board or nomination for election by Bcom3's
            stockholders was approved by at least two-thirds of the directors
            then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of
            the period or whose election was previously so approved, or who were
            elected by Dentsu, cease for any reason to constitute a majority
            thereof; or

      (3)   the stockholders of Bcom3 approve a merger or consolidation of Bcom3
            with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation (A)

<PAGE>

            or a portion of the voting securities of Bcom3 outstanding
            immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
            remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities
            of the surviving entity or a direct or indirect parent of the
            surviving entity) more than two-thirds of the combined voting power
            of the voting securities of Bcom3 or such surviving entity (or
            direct or indirect parent of such surviving entity) outstanding
            immediately after such merger or consolidation or (B) by which the
            corporate existence of Bcom3 is not affected and following which
            Bcom3's directors retain their positions with Bcom3 (and constitute
            at least a majority of the Board); or

      (4)   the stockholders of Bcom3 approve a plan of complete liquidation of
            Bcom3 or an agreement for the sale or disposition by Bcom3 of all or
            substantially all Bcom3's assets, other than a sale to an Exempt
            Person.

(j)   Taxes. All amounts paid to or provided for the benefit of Executive shall
      be subject to Federal, State and local income tax and the respective
      withholding and reporting requirements imposed by law. No provision of

4     Key-Man Insurance
      -----------------

The Company shall be permitted (but not obligated) to maintain "key man"
insurance that will provide benefit to the Company in the case of the
Executive's death or Disability. The Executive shall cooperate in all reasonable
ways to enable the Company to secure such insurance, including (without
limitation) providing personal health information (to be maintained as
confidentially as is possible in the circumstances) and submitting to periodic

expense.

      (i)   Executive's willful and continued failure to substantially perform
            her duties with the Company under the Agreement (other than as a
            result of total or partial incapacity due to Disability) within a
            reasonable period of time after a written demand for substantial
            performance is delivered to the Executive;

      (ii)  Any willful act or omission by Executive constituting dishonesty or
            fraud, or any act or omission by Executive constituting immoral

            contained in section 8.

      For purposes of this Agreement, failure to attain financial or other
      business objectives shall not be deemed a failure to perform duties.

(d)   Good Reason. Executive may terminate her employment hereunder at any time
      -----------
      after 30 days after giving the CEO notice that there is Good Reason, if
      the Good Reason has not been cured or resolved before the end of that 30
      days. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Good Reason" shall mean:

      (i)   Material diminution in Executive's title, position, duties or
            responsibilities, or the assignment to Executive of duties that are

      employment hereunder at any time by giving the Executive written Notice of
      Termination, which Notice of Termination may be effective immediately. If
      the Executive's employment is terminated by the CEO and within a
      reasonable time period thereafter it is determined that circumstances
      existed which would have constituted a basis for termination of the
      Executive's employment for Cause (disregarding circumstances which could
      have been

                                    5 of 12

      remedied if notice had been given in accordance with paragraph 5(c)(i)),
      the Executive's employment will be deemed to have been terminated for
      Cause in accordance with paragraph 5(c).

      resign from all such positions as of the Date of Termination.

6.    Rights Upon Termination.
      -----------------------

after her Date of Termination shall be determined in accordance with the

            After the first 12 months: In addition to the payments described in
            -------------------------
            (a) above, if the Date of Termination is after the first 12 months
            of the Employment Term, then BCOM3 standard severance policy shall
            apply. Currently that policy provides for severance payments
            computed on the basis of Salary continued for six months, and a
            pro-rated portion of Bonus in some circumstances.

      Any severance payments shall be reduced by any amount the Executive earns
      or receives from other employment during the period over which the
      payments are made. However,

                                    6 of 12

<PAGE>

      Executive shall have no obligation to seek other employment or otherwise
      to mitigate the Company's payment obligations.

      Welfare benefits (medical, long-term disability, etc.) will be continued
      for the period over which severance payments are made. COBRA will continue
      thereafter as provided by law.

      Pension plans, stock options awards, and any other plan with a vesting
      schedule shall vest according to the terms of those plans.

7.    Duties on Termination.
      ---------------------

(a)   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the period
      beginning on the date of delivery of a Notice of Termination, and ending
      on the Date of Termination, the Executive shall continue to perform her
      duties as set forth in this Agreement, and shall also perform such
      services for the Company as are necessary and appropriate for a smooth
      transition to the Executive's successor, if any. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing provisions of this paragraph 7, the CEO may suspend the
      Executive from performing her duties under this Agreement following the
      delivery of a Notice of Termination; provided, however, that during the
      entire period from delivery of the Notice of Termination until the Date of
      Termination, the Executive shall continue to be treated as employed by the
      Company for other purposes, and her rights to compensation or benefits
      shall not be reduced by reason of the suspension.

(b)   Following the Date of Termination, the Executive agrees to return to the
      Company any keys, credit cards, passes, confidential documents or
      material, or other property belonging to the Company, and to return all
      writings, files, records, correspondence, notebooks, notes and other
      documents and things (including any copies thereof) containing any trade
      secrets relating to the Company. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
      the term "trade secrets" shall have the meaning ascribed to it under the
      Illinois Trade Secrets Act or, if such act is repealed, the Uniform Trade
      Secrets Act (on which the Illinois Trade Secrets Act is based). The
      Executive agrees to represent in writing to the Company upon termination
      of employment that she has complied with the foregoing provisions of this
      paragraph 7(b) and that she will comply with paragraphs 8 and 9.

8.    Confidential Information.
      ------------------------

The Executive agrees that:

(a)   Except as may be required by the lawful order of a court or agency of
      competent jurisdiction, except as necessary to carry out her duties to the
      Company and its subsidiaries, or except to the extent that the Executive
      has express authorization from the CEO, the Executive agrees to keep
      secret and confidential indefinitely, all Confidential Information, and
      not to disclose the same, either directly or indirectly, to any other
      person, firm, or business entity, or to use it in any way.

                                    7 of 12

<PAGE>

(b)   To the extent that any court or agency seeks to have the Executive
      disclose Confidential Information, she shall promptly inform the Company,
      and shall take such reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of Confidential
      Information until the Company has been informed of such requested
      disclosure, and the Company has an opportunity to respond to such court or
      agency. To the extent that the Executive obtains information on behalf of
      the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that may be subject to
      attorney-client privilege as to the Company's attorneys, the Executive
      shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of such
      information and to preserve such privilege.

(c)   Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 8 shall be construed
      so as to prevent the Executive from using, in connection with her
      employment for herself or an employer other than the Company or any of the
      Subsidiaries, knowledge which was acquired by her during the course of her
      employment with the Company and the Subsidiaries, and which is generally
      known to persons of her experience in other companies in the same
      industry.

(d)   For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" shall
      include all non-public information (including, without limitation,
      information regarding litigation and pending litigation) concerning the
      Company and the Subsidiaries which was acquired by or disclosed to the
      Executive during the course of her employment with the Company. For
      purposes of this Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" shall also
      include all non-public information concerning any other company that was
      shared with the Company or a Subsidiary subject to an agreement to
      maintain the confidentiality of such information.

(e)   This paragraph 8 shall not be construed to unreasonably restrict the
      Executive's ability to disclose confidential information in an arbitration
      proceeding or a court proceeding in connection with the assertion of, or
      defense against, any claim of breach of this Agreement in accordance with
      paragraph 17. If there is a dispute between the Company and the Executive
      as to whether information may be disclosed in accordance with this
      paragraph (e), the matter shall be submitted to the arbitrators or the
      court (whichever is applicable) for decision.

(f)   The Executive acknowledges that the Company would be irreparably injured
      by a violation of this paragraph 8 and she agrees that the Company, in
      addition to any other remedies available to it for such breach or
      threatened breach, shall be entitled to a preliminary injunction,
      temporary restraining order, or other equivalent relief, restraining the
      Executive from any actual or threatened breach of this paragraph 8. If a
      bond is required to be posted in order for the Company to secure an
      injunction or other equitable remedy, the parties agree that said bond
      need not be more than a nominal sum.

9.    Assistance with Claims.
      ----------------------

With reasonable consideration for and accommodation of the Executive's
employment or other commitments after the Termination Date, the Executive agrees
to assist the Company and the Subsidiaries in defense of any claims that may be
made against the Company and the Subsidiaries, and will assist the Company and
the Subsidiaries in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by the
Company or the Subsidiaries, to the extent that such claims may relate

                                    8 of 12

<PAGE>

to services performed by the Executive for the Company and the Subsidiaries. The
Executive agrees to promptly inform the Company if she becomes aware of any
lawsuits involving such claims that may be filed against the Company or any
Subsidiary. The Company agrees to provide legal counsel to the Executive in
connection with such assistance (to the extent legally permitted), and to
reimburse the Executive for all of the Executive's reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses associated with such assistance, including travel expenses. The
Executive also agrees to promptly inform the Company if she is asked to assist
in any investigation of the Company or the Subsidiaries (or their actions) that
may relate to services performed by the Executive for the Company or the
Subsidiaries, regardless of whether a lawsuit has then been filed against the
Company or the Subsidiaries with respect to such investigation.

10.   Nonalienation.
      -------------

The interests of the Executive under this Agreement are not subject in any
manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Executive or the
Executive's beneficiary.

subject matter hereof.

      ------------

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not

and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable
provision were omitted (but only to the extent that such provision cannot be
appropriately reformed or modified).

14.   Waiver of Breach.
      ----------------

No waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by
any other party, or of compliance with any condition or provision of this
Agreement to be performed by such other party, will operate or be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party of any similar or dissimilar
provisions and conditions at the same or any prior or subsequent time. The
failure of any party hereto to take any action by reason of such breach will not
deprive such party of the right to take action at any time while such breach
continues.

      ----------

This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company
and its successors and assigns and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger,
