This is to confirm the agreement between TopTeam, Inc. (the "Company") and U.S.

ENGAGEMENT. U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray will act as the Company's agent with
respect to the proposed acquisition of or merger with the Giant Step division of
Leo Burnett Company, Inc. (the "Target"). For purposes of the agreement,
"acquisition" means any transaction or combination of transactions whereby 20%

related to the transaction, (iii) advise the Company with respect to the
principal financial provisions of major documents involved in the transaction
and (iv) provide such other directly related, customary services as reasonably
requested by the Company.

In the event requested by the Company, in connection with an acquisition of or
merger with the Target, render an opinion to the Board of Directors of the
Company as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration
to be paid by the Company, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray understands that its
fairness opinion may be described in and annexed to proxy materials distributed
to the Company shareholders. The Company hereby agrees that U.S. Bancorp Piper
Jaffray will have the right to review and approve the form and content of any
reference to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray or its opinion in such proxy materials
or in other written materials distributed by the Company or filed by the Company
with any governmental agency or securities exchange.

FEES AND EXPENSES. In consideration of U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray's services,
the Company shall pay U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray the following fees:

         (a)      $250,000 in cash upon rendering the opinion, if any, referred
                  to above;

         (b)      in the event an acquisition of the Target is consummated
                  pursuant to an agreement or commitment which is entered into
                  (i) during the term of this agreement or (ii) during the 12
                  month period following termination of this agreement, a cash
                  fee equal to $600,000; and

         (c)      in the event the Company does not consummate an acquisition of
                  Target, but receives some form of break-up fee or similar form
                  of consideration or compensation ("Break-Up Fee") in
                  connection with its attempt to complete an acquisition of
                  Target, the Company shall pay to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray an
                  in-kind fee equal to 33% of the Break-Up Fee.

The entire fee payable pursuant to item (b) above shall be paid in cash via wire
transfer to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray at closing. Any fee payable pursuant to
item (c) above shall be paid at the time such Break-Up Fee is received by the
Company.

In the event a cash fee is payable pursuant to item (b) above, the Company shall
immediately issue to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray a warrant or warrants (the
"Warrants") to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's most senior equity
securities at the time of the consummation of the acquisition of Target. All
Warrants shall be exercisable at a price equal to the lower of $7.50 or the fair
value of the Company at the time of the acquisition of Target. For purposes of
this letter, the fair value of the Company at the time of the acquisition of
Target is defined as the total value of the combined entity divided by the
number of shares of equity securities outstanding immediately following the
closing. The Warrants shall be in form mutually acceptable to each of the
Company and U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray. The Warrants shall include mutually
acceptable provisions customary in private equity transactions, including
without limitation, anti-dilution protection, continuation of warrant exercise
rights following any redemption or conversion of the Securities, registration
rights, and cashless exercise rights. The Warrants shall expire on the earlier
of (i) the tenth anniversary of their issuance, or (ii) the fourth anniversary
of the initial underwritten public offering of the Company's Common Stock which
results in mandatory conversion of the Securities.

Upon receipt of an invoice, the Company will also reimburse U.S. Bancorp Piper
Jaffray for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and
disbursements of counsel, whether or not an acquisition is consummated;
provided, that such expenses shall not exceed $50,000 without the consent of the
Company.

TERM. The term of our engagement hereunder will extend from the date hereof
until termination by either party upon 30 days' written notice; provided such
notice shall not be given prior to three months from the date hereof.

INDEMNIFICATION. The Company agrees (i) to indemnify and hold U.S. Bancorp Piper
Jaffray (which term includes its directors, controlling persons (as such term is
defined under the Securities Act of 1933), officers, employees and agents)
harmless against and from all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, and all

<PAGE>

actions, claims, proceedings and investigations in respect thereof, arising out
of or in connection with this engagement or U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray's
services rendered in connection with this engagement, and to reimburse U.S.
Bancorp Piper Jaffray for all reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses
as incurred by U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray in connection with investigating,
preparing or defending any such action, claim, proceeding or investigation; and
(ii) that U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray shall not have any liability to the Company
or its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, creditors or
shareholders, directly or indirectly, related to or arising out of this
engagement; provided, however, the Company shall not be so liable for
indemnification and U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray shall not be exculpated from
liability to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability is
finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily and directly from U.S.
Bancorp Piper Jaffray's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

If for any reason the foregoing indemnification and reimbursement is unavailable
to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the
Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by U.S. Bancorp Piper
Jaffray as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on
the one hand and U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray on the other hand, the relative
fault of the Company and of U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and any relevant
equitable considerations, provided that, in no event, will the aggregate
contribution of U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray hereunder exceed the amount of fees
actually received by U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray pursuant to this agreement.

The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company under
this agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may
otherwise have, shall survive any termination of this agreement and shall be
binding upon and extend to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and
personal representatives of the Company and U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray.

MISCELLANEOUS. Our agreement represented by this letter shall be governed by the
laws of Minnesota. Any dispute or controversy arising out of this agreement
shall be determined by arbitration conducted in accordance with the rules of the
New York Stock Exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
then in effect. Any arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the
Company and U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray, and judgment upon the award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction. The Company agrees that U.S. Bancorp
Piper Jaffray has the right to place advertisements in mailings and financial
and other newspapers and journals at its own expense describing its services to
the Company hereunder for any completed transactions and using the Company logo.

Re:      Private Placement of Securities

Gentlemen:

This letter will confirm the understanding and agreement between U.S. Bancorp
Piper Jaffray Inc. ("U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray") and eMarketplace, Inc. (the
"Company") as follows:

1.       ENGAGEMENT. The Company hereby engages U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray as
         the Company's financial advisor to assist with, among other
         transactions, the proposed offering (the "Placement") of common stock
         (the "Securities") of the Company. U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray hereby
         accepts the engagement upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
         agreement.

         As currently contemplated, the Placement will be of Securities with
         gross proceeds of up to $30.0 million. Subject to material adverse
         developments affecting the Company which become known to us and to
         market conditions at the time of the offering, U.S. Bancorp Piper
         Jaffray will work with the Company in identifying potential investors
         and will use U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray's reasonable efforts to assist
         in arranging sales of the Securities to investors subject, in the case
         of each proposed investor, to the prior approval of the Company.

         The offering will be made by use of your publicly filed reports and
         such other materials as you shall furnish and approve and are necessary
         or appropriate for the proposed offering ("Offering Materials"). U.S.
         Bancorp Piper Jaffray will consult with the Company in planning the
         Placement and review with the Company and its counsel all Offering
         Materials. The Company shall make available to U.S. Bancorp Piper
<PAGE>

eMarketplace, Inc.
March 24, 2000
Page 2

         Jaffray such documents and other information as U.S. Bancorp Piper
         Jaffray shall reasonably request. Offers and sales of the Securities
         will be made in accordance with the Regulation D, Rule 506, safe harbor
         exemption from registration under the Federal Securities Act of 1933,
         as amended (the "Act") and other available exemptions under the Act,
         and applicable state or other jurisdiction securities laws. Both U.S.
         Bancorp Piper Jaffray and the Company agree to comply with applicable
         federal and state securities laws with respect to all offers and sales
         of the Securities. The Company, with the advice of legal counsel, shall
         take all steps necessary, to assure the availability of exemptions from
         registration or qualification in each jurisdiction in which U.S.
         Bancorp Piper Jaffray may reasonably request to conduct the Placement
         of Securities.

         The Company may in its discretion postpone, abandon or terminate the
         Placement prior to closing. Until this agreement is terminated, or
         until U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray declines to participate in the
         Placement, the Company will not make any commitment with any other
         financial advisor, placement agent or securities broker/dealer to
         participate in the Placement without U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray's prior
         written consent.

         U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray shall have first right to lead any Public
         Offering, Private Placement or M&A Advisory Engagement for the Company
         for a period of twelve months from the date of this agreement,
         exclusive of any rights granted under an Engagement Letter Agreement,
         by and between Full Moon Interactive, Inc. and Donaldson, Lufkin &
         Jenrette, dated February 28, 2000.

2.       FEES. The Company will pay to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray in cash at any
         closing of the sale of Securities by the Company or its affiliates, a
         selling commission of six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds by the
         Company on all sales of the Securities made in such closing, including
         sales to any entity affiliated or associated with U.S. Bancorp Piper
         Jaffray.

         U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray shall also be paid six percent of the gross
         proceeds by the Company in connection with any financing of the Company
         or any affiliate involving the issuance of equity, or debt with an
         equity participation (also referred to herein as "Securities"),
         consummated pursuant to any agreement, commitment or understanding,
         oral or written, which is entered into (a) during the term of this
         engagement, or (b) within six months after any termination of this
         engagement; provided, however, that in the case of termination by U.S.
         Bancorp Piper Jaffray prior to such a closing, such commission will
         only extend to securities sold to investors who have, verbally or in
         writing, contacted the Company or U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray or have
         been contacted by U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray or the Company prior to
         such termination. In the case of such termination by U.S. Bancorp Piper
         Jaffray, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray shall deliver to the Company,
         reasonably promptly following the date of such termination, a schedule
         listing such investors.

3.       EXPENSES. In addition, the Company, whether or not a closing shall
         occur, will pay or cause to be paid all expenses and fees relating to
         the preparation, printing, filing, delivery and shipping of the
         Offering Materials and any amendment or supplement thereto (including,
         without limitation, all expenses and fees of the Company's accountants
         and counsel); the fees and expenses of any transfer agent or registrar;
         the filing fees and fees and expenses of counsel incurred in connection
         with the qualification or exemption of the Securities for offering and

         which U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray shall reasonably designate; and, to
         the extent provided below, the out-of-pocket expenses of U.S. Bancorp
         Piper Jaffray incurred in connection with their investigation,
         preparing to market and marketing the Securities. Whether or not a
         closing shall occur, the Company shall promptly reimburse U.S. Bancorp
         Piper Jaffray for all its legal fees (which shall not exceed $30,000)
         and disbursements, travel and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
         incurred in connection with the Placement which shall not exceed
         $40,000 in the aggregate without prior written approval from the
         Company. These expenses shall be paid upon receipt by the Company of an
         invoice from U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray.

4.       INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. As more fully described in Exhibit A
         hereto, the Company will indemnify and hold U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray
         harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and
         expenses incurred, including fees and disbursements of counsel, related
         to or arising out of this engagement or the Placement. Exhibit A is
         hereby incorporated into this agreement by reference and made a part
         hereof.

5.       TERMINATION. This agreement shall be terminable by the Company or U.S.
         Bancorp Piper Jaffray upon ten days' written notice to the other party
         and in no event longer than one (1) year; provided, however, no such
         notice may be given prior to ninety (90) days from the date hereof. The
         fee, expense reimbursement and representation, warranty and agreement
         provisions of this agreement and the indemnity, contribution and other
         provisions of Exhibit A to this agreement shall survive any termination
         of this agreement.

6.       REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company
         represents and warrants to, and agrees with, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray
         that:

         (a)      the Securities will be offered and sold by the Company in
                  compliance with the requirements for the exemption from
                  registration pursuant to Section 5 of the Act and with all
                  other securities laws and regulations. The Company will file
                  appropriate notices with the Securities and Exchange
                  Commission and with other applicable securities authorities;
<PAGE>

eMarketplace, Inc.
March 24, 2000
Page 4

         (b)      directly or through the Offering Materials, the Company shall
                  furnish to investors all information material to investors
                  under applicable securities laws, which information will not
                  contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
                  state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to
                  make the statements made not misleading;

         (c)      the Company will not, for a period of six months following the
                  final closing date of the Placement, offer for sale or sell
                  any securities unless, in the opinion of U.S. Bancorp Piper
                  Jaffray's counsel, such offer or sale does not jeopardize the
                  availability of exemptions from the registration and
                  qualification requirements under applicable securities laws
                  with respect to the Placement. The Company has not engaged in
                  any such offering during the six months prior to the date of
                  this agreement;

         (d)      the execution, delivery and performance of this agreement and
                  the Placement of the Securities will not violate any provision
                  of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or
                  any agreement or other instrument to which the Company is a
                  party or by which it is bound. Any necessary approvals,
                  governmental and private, will be obtained by the Company
                  prior to any closing.

         (e)      the sales of the Securities will be evidenced by a purchase
                  agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") between the Company and
                  the investors. The form of Purchase Agreement shall be
                  reasonably satifactory to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray. The
                  Purchase Agreement will require the Company to file, promptly
                  after it has signed and delivered the Purchase Agreement(s), a
                  registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
                  Commission (the "SEC") for the resale from time to time of the
                  Securities to be issued under the Purchase Agreement. The
                  Company will not modify the Purchase Agreement or execute and
                  deliver additional Purchase Agreements after the time it has
                  filed the Registration Statement without the written consent
                  of U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray.

At each closing of the sale of Securities, the Company will provide U.S. Bancorp
Piper Jaffray with a certificate indicating the foregoing are true and correct
as of such closing. In addition, the Company will, at each closing, furnish to
U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray an opinion of counsel to the Company, in form
satisfactory to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and its counsel. U.S. Bancorp Piper
Jaffray may rely on the representations, warranties and opinions made or given
by the Company or its counsel to any purchaser of Securities.

with investigating, preparing, defending, paying, settling or compromising any
Losses, whether or not in connection with any pending or threatened Action, and
notwithstanding the absence of a final determination as set forth below as to
the Company's obligation to reimburse an Indemnified Person for such Losses and
the possibility that such payments might later be held to have been improper) to
which any of them may become subject and which are related to or arise out of
any act, omission, transaction or event contemplated by the Engagement Letter.
The Company will not, however, be responsible under the foregoing provisions
with respect to any Losses to the extent that it shall have been finally
determined by arbitration in accordance with the terms of the Engagement Letter
that such Losses resulted primarily from actions taken or omitted to be taken by
an Indemnified Person due to its gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the
extent that any prior payment has been made by the Company to such Indemnified
Person is so determined to have been improper by reason of such Indemnified
Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray
shall promptly pay such amount to the Company, together with interest, at the
prime rate announced from time to time by US Bank, N.A.

If the indemnity referred to in this Exhibit A should be, for any reason
whatsoever, unenforceable, unavailable or otherwise insufficient to hold each
Indemnified Person harmless, the Company shall pay to or on behalf of each
Indemnified Person contributions for Losses so that each Indemnified Person
ultimately bears only a portion of such Losses as is appropriate (i) to reflect
the relative benefits received by each such Indemnified Person, respectively, on
the one hand and the Company on the other hand in connection with the
transaction or (ii) if the allocation on that basis is not permitted by
applicable law, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(i) above but also the relative fault of each such Indemnified Person,
respectively, and the Company as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate
contribution of all Indemnified Persons to all Losses in connection with any
transaction exceed the amount of the fee actually received by U.S. Bancorp Piper
Jaffray pursuant to the Engagement Letter. The respective relative benefits
received by U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and the Company in connection with any
transaction shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the aggregate fee
paid to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray in connection with the transaction bears to
the total consideration of the transaction. The relative fault of each
Indemnified Person and the Company shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the actions or omissions to act were by such Indemnified
Person or the Company and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action or omission to
act.

The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to
the Company or its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or
shareholders, directly or indirectly, related to or arising out of the
Engagement Letter, except Losses incurred by the Company which it shall have
been finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the terms of the
Engagement Letter to have resulted primarily from actions taken or omitted to be
taken by such Indemnified Person due to its gross negligence or willful
misconduct. In no event, regardless of the legal theory advanced, shall any
Indemnified Person be liable for any consequential, indirect, incidental or
special damages of any nature. The Company agrees that without U.S. Bancorp
Piper Jaffray's prior written consent it shall not settle any pending or
threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding related to the Engagement Letter
unless the settlement also includes an express unconditional release of all
Indemnified Persons from all liability and obligations arising therefrom, or the
Company reaffirms its obligations to indemnify for or contribute to Losses
incurred by any unreleased Indemnified Person as herein provided.

Promptly after its receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, any
Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
Company hereunder, notify in writing the Company of the commencement thereof;
but omission so to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any
liability hereunder which it may have to any Indemnified Person. If the Company
so elects, the Company may assume the defense of such Action in a timely manner,
including the employment of counsel (reasonably satisfactory to U.S. Bancorp
Piper Jaffray) and payment of expenses, provided the Company acknowledges in
writing its unconditional obligation pursuant to this agreement to indemnify
U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray in respect of such Action and provides to U.S.
Bancorp Piper Jaffray evidence reasonably satisfactory to U.S. Bancorp Piper
Jaffray that the Company will have the financial resources to conduct such
defense actively and diligently and permits U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and
counsel retained by U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray at its expense to participate in
such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event U.S. Bancorp Piper
Jaffray determines in its sole discretion that it is advisable for the
Indemnified Persons to be represented by separate counsel, then U.S. Bancorp
Piper Jaffray may employ on behalf of the Indemnified Persons a single separate
counsel (and local counsel as necessary) to represent or defend such Indemnified
Persons in such action, claim, proceeding or investigation and the Company will
pay the fees and disbursements of such separate counsel as incurred.

In the event of any fundamental change involving the corporate structure of the
Company, such as by merger, plan of exchange or sale of all or substantially all
of its assets, any executory obligations of the Company in this engagement
letter shall, if not assumed by operation of law, be assumed by contract by the
acquiring entity or arrangements made to protect the interests of U.S. Bancorp
Piper Jaffray reasonably satisfactory to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray.

If multiple claims are brought against U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray in any Action
with respect to at least one of which indemnification is permitted under
applicable law and provided for under this agreement, the Company agrees that
any judgment, arbitration award or other monetary award shall be conclusively
deemed to be based on claims as to which indemnification is permitted and
provided for.

The obligations of the Company referred to above shall be in addition to any
rights that any Indemnified Person may otherwise have.
