                                1992 STOCK PLAN

     THIS 1999 DECLARATION OF AMENDMENT, is made this 28th day of October, 1999,
by CLARUS CORPORATION (the "Corporation"), to the Corporation's 1992 Stock Plan
(the "1992 Plan").

                                R E C I T A L S:
                                ---------------

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has deemed it advisable
and has this day approved an amendment to the 1992 Plan as set forth below; and

     WHEREAS, the Corporation desires to evidence such amendment by this
Declaration of Amendment.

     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS DECLARED that, effective October 28, 1999, the 1992
Plan shall be and is hereby amended as follows:

1.  Section 4 of the 1992 Plan shall be amended by inserting the following at
the end of said section:

"In addition, the Committee may delegate to the chief executive officer or
president of the Company the authority to grant Options, Purchase Authorizations
and Bonuses, and to make any or all of the determinations reserved for the
Committee in the Plan with respect thereto  to any individual who, at the time
of said grant or other determination, (i) is not deemed to be an officer or
director of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act;
(ii) is not deemed to be a Covered Employee; and (iii) is otherwise eligible
under the terms of the Plan.  To the extent that the Committee has delegated
authority pursuant to this Section 4 to the chief executive officer or
president, references to the Committee shall include references to such person,
subject, however, to the requirements of the Plan, Rule 16b-3 and other
applicable law.  For purposes hereof, the term "Covered Employee" shall have the
meaning given the term in Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations
thereunder."

2.   Section 10 of the 1992 Plan shall be amended by inserting the letter "(a)"
     after the heading for such section and inserting following phrase at the
     beginning of the first sentence thereof, "With respect to Options, Purchase
     Authorizations and Bonuses granted on and after the effective date of the
     Plan and before October 28, 1999,".  In addition, the following paragraphs
     shall be added at the end of such section:

     (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the
          following provisions shall apply in lieu of the provisions of
          subsection 10(a) in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in
          Section 10(b)(iv) herein) with respect to Options, Purchase
          Authorizations and Bonuses granted on or after October 28, 1999;
<PAGE>

           (i)   Any Options and Purchase Authorizations outstanding as of the
                 date of such Change of Control which are not otherwise
                 exercisable on that date shall immediately become exercisable
                 with respect to 50% of that portion of each such outstanding
                 Option or Purchase Authorization which was not otherwise
                 exercisable as of such date.

           (ii)  In the event that any Bonuses outstanding as of the date of
                 such Change of Control are subject to vesting in whole or in
                 part on such date, then each such Bonus shall be deemed to be
                 vested and payable with respect to 50% of that portion of the
                 outstanding Bonus which was not otherwise vested as of such
                 date.

           (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of
                 Control, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute
                 discretion, determine that any or all Options, Purchase
                 Authorizations or Bonuses granted pursuant to the Plan shall
                 not vest or become exercisable on an accelerated basis, if the
                 Board of Directors of the Company or of the surviving or
                 acquiring corporation, as the case may be, shall have taken
                 such action, including but not limited to the assumption or
                 continuation of awards granted under the Plan or the grant of
                 substitute awards (in either case, with substantially similar
                 terms as awards granted under the Plan), as in the opinion of
                 the Committee is equitable or appropriate to protect the rights
                 and interests of participants under the Plan. For the purposes
                 herein, the Committee authorized to make the determinations
                 provided for in this Section 10(b)(iii) shall be appointed by
                 the Board of Directors, two-thirds of the members of which
                 shall have been directors of the Company prior to the merger,
                 share exchange, reorganization or other business combinations
                 affecting the Company or a related corporation.

           (iv)  For the purposes herein, a "Change of Control" shall be deemed
                 to have occurred on the earliest of the following dates:

                 (A)  The date any entity or person shall have become the
                      beneficial owner of, or shall have obtained voting control
                      over, forty percent (40%) or more of the outstanding
                      Common Stock of the Company if the Company;

                 (B)  The date the stockholders of the Company approve a
                      definitive agreement (X) to merge or consolidate the
                      Company with or into another corporation, in which the
                      Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or
                      pursuant to which any shares of Common Stock of the
                      Company would be converted into cash, securities or other
                      property of another corporation, other than (i) a merger
                      or consolidation of the Company in which holders of Common
                      Stock immediately prior to the merger or consolidation
                      have the same proportionate ownership of Common Stock of
                      the

<PAGE>

                      surviving corporation immediately after the merger as
                      immediately before, and (ii) with respect to Options,
                      Purchase Authorizations and Bonuses granted on or after
                      October 28, 1999, any merger or consolidation of the
                      Company in which holders of Common Stock immediately prior
                      to the merger or consolidation continue to own at least a
                      majority of the combined voting securities of the Company
                      (or the surviving entity) outstanding immediately after
                      such merger or consolidation, or (Y) to sell or otherwise
                      dispose of all or substantially all the assets of the
                      Company; or

                 (C)  The date there shall have been a change in a majority of
                      the Board of Directors of the Company within a 12-month
                      period unless the nomination for election by the Company's
                      stockholders of each new director was approved by the vote
                      of two-thirds of the directors then still in office who
                      were in office at the beginning of the 12-month period.

                      (For purposes herein, the term "person" shall mean any
                      individual, corporation, partnership, group, association
                      or other person, as such term is defined in Section
                      13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, other
                      than the Company, a subsidiary of the Company or any
                      employee benefit plan(s) sponsored or maintained by the
                      Company or any subsidiary thereof, and the term
                      "beneficial owner" shall have the meaning given the term
                      in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.)"

February 29, 2000

Mr. Dennis Sickle
MCI WorldCom
1515 South Federal Highway, #400
Boca Raton, FL 33432

Dear Dennis:

This will confirm our agreement regarding my continued employment and the
termination thereof as follows:

1.    Term of Employment
      ------------------

      Effective December 31, 1999, I ceased to be an executive officer or a
      director of MCI WORLDCOM, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries but remained an
      employee of the company until February 29, 2000.

2.    Severance Benefits
      ------------------

      From March 1, 2000 until August 31, 2000, I will receive severance
      payments aggregating $300,000 (less applicable withholdings and
      deductions), to be paid in accordance with the company's customary payroll
      practice. In addition, on or promptly after August 31, 2000, I will
      receive a lump-sum severance payment in the amount of $300,000 (less
      applicable withholdings and deductions). The foregoing severance payments
      are subject to forfeiture for cause, as defined below.

      I will be entitled to any other rights, compensation (excluding severance
      payments), and/or benefits as may be due to me in accordance with the
      provisions of any benefit plans or programs of the company.

      For purposes of this agreement, "cause" shall mean a breach of a material
      provision of this agreement (including the appendices hereto) by me, which
      is not cured within 30 days after receipt of notice from the company,
      which specifies the manner in which the company believes I have breached
      this agreement.
<PAGE>

3.    Stock Options, Incentive Compensation, and Other Awards
      -------------------------------------------------------

      On February 29, 2000, all unvested stock options held by me as of such
      date and identified in Schedule A attached hereto, shall automatically
      vest and become fully exercisable. Such stock options and any additional
      stock options held by me that are vested as of the date hereof shall
      remain exercisable until February 28, 2001. In addition, all unvested
      stock units held by me as of the date of this letter and identified in
      Schedule B shall automatically vest and be paid on or promptly after
      February 29, 2000. The amount of deferred compensation to which I am
      entitled shall be determined as of February 29, 2000 and be paid promptly
      thereafter. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions
      of such options and awards shall continue to be governed by the underlying
      agreements and plans. The company shall take all corporate action
      necessary to effectuate the foregoing.

4.    Certain Benefits
      ----------------

      I will continue to receive medical, dental, and life insurance coverage
      for me and my eligible dependents on the same basis as is in effect on the
      date of this agreement, subject to changes of general applicability for
      senior executive officers, until the earlier of (a) December 31, 2000, or
      (b) the commencement of coverage with a subsequent employer. At the
      termination of my employment with the company, my dependents and I will be
      eligible for continued coverage under COBRA, if applicable.

      During the term of my continued employment by the company, the company
      shall reimburse me for any reasonable business expenses incurred by me in
      accordance with the company's policies for senior executive officers.

5.    Release and Covenant Not To Sue
      -------------------------------

      As part of this agreement, the company and I have executed the mutual
      release and covenant not to sue attached as Appendix A. At the company's
      option, upon satisfaction of the company's obligations hereunder, we will
      execute another release and covenant not to sue, in a mutually
      satisfactory form.

6.    Directors and Officers Insurance
      --------------------------------

      For six (6) years following the date of my termination as an officer
      and/or director of the company, the company will cover me by such officers
      and directors insurance coverage on substantially the same terms and
      levels that it provides to its senior executive officers, at the company's
      sole cost. In addition, the company shall indemnify and hold me harmless
      to the fullest extent provided by its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
      as they exist on the date hereof with regards to actions or inactions in
      relation to my duties performed at the company on or before the date of
      this agreement.

7.    Non-Competition
      ---------------

      As part of this agreement, I have executed the covenant not to compete
      attached as Appendix B.

                                       2
<PAGE>

8.    Confidentiality
      ---------------

      I agree that I will continue to be bound by the terms of Paragraph 14(a)
      of the Employment Agreement, dated November 9, 1997, between me and MCI
      Communications Corporation and that the terms of this agreement will
      constitute Confidential Information for purposes of said Employment
      Agreement, except that I shall be permitted to discuss its contents with
      my accountant(s), my lawyer(s), and members of my immediate family on a
      need-to-know basis, whom I shall ask to keep the terms confidential.

9.    Cooperation after Termination
      -----------------------------

      I will cooperate with the company as reasonably necessary and upon
      receiving reasonable notice, provided that such cooperation shall not
      unreasonably interfere with, or be prohibited by my other activities or
      pursuits. After February 29, 2000, the company will pay me reasonable
      compensation and reimbursement for expenses, such as travel, incurred in
      connection with such assistance.

10.   Return and Protection of Information and Property
      -------------------------------------------------

      At or prior to the time of my termination, I will return any company
      property in my possession, including business, financial, customer, or
      similar materials.

11.   Assignment
      ----------

      This agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding upon, me, including
      my executors, descendants, ancestors, dependents, administrators,
      successors, heirs, and assigns, and upon MCI WorldCom, including its
      affiliates, assigns, predecessors, successors, agents, officers,
      directors, shareholders, and employees.

12.   Entire Agreement
      ----------------

      Other than Section 14(a) of the Employment Agreement and the various stock
      option agreements between me and the employer, this agreement constitutes
      the entire agreement, arrangement and understanding between me and the
      company with respect to its subject matter; it may not be modified or
      canceled in any manner except by a writing signed by both me and the
      company.  Except as otherwise provided in, or modified by, this agreement
      including, without limitation, Section 3 (relating to stock options and
      stock units), this agreement supersedes any prior or contemporaneous
      agreement, arrangement or understanding on this subject matter.

13.   Disputes
      --------

      Any contest or dispute that may arise between the parties with respect to
      this agreement shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration in
      accordance with the rules and procedures of the Employment Dispute
      Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association. This agreement
      shall be governed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of
      New York.

Appendix B      Covenant Not to Compete
                -----------------------

For the period ending August 31, 2000, I agree that I will not do any of the
following anywhere in the world:  (a)  accept employment from, carry on, or be
engaged in, any business which is in direct competition with the business of the
company or its affiliates, (b) solicit for employment, or employ, without the
written permission of the company, any person who is an employee or contractor
for the company or its affiliates, or who has been an employee or contractor for
the company or its affiliates within one year of the date of this agreement; (c)
solicit, influence, or attempt to influence, any actual or prospective customer
or provider, with regard to the actual or prospective customer's or provider's
relationship with the company or its affiliates (nb. for the purpose of this
section, "prospective" means under negotiation with the company or its
affiliates).  Under no circumstances shall my membership or service on the board
of directors of a company as approved by the President and CEO of MCI WorldCom
be precluded by this covenant nor shall actions in which I am not involved by
such company be attributed to me for purposes hereof.

It is agreed that any breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of
this covenant will result in immediate and irreparable injury to the company
and/or its affiliates and will entitle them to obtain an injunction, restraining
order, and/or specific performance as well as to seek other legal or equitable
remedies to which they may be entitled including, but not limited to, money
damages.

It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of this covenant shall be
enforced by the courts of each state and jurisdiction in which enforcement is
sought to the fullest extent permissible under the law and public policy.
Accordingly, if any part of this covenant shall be adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, whether in its entirety or
as modified as to duration, territory or otherwise, then such part shall be
deemed deleted or amended, as the case may be, with respect to the state or
jurisdiction involved in order to render the remainder hereof valid and
enforceable.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of
this covenant  shall not affect the other provisions hereof.
