                        SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

         This Separation and Release Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and
entered into by and between Jyoti Chatterjee ("Chatterjee") and netGuru, Inc.

         C. The Company believes that it has the right to terminate the 2001
Employment Agreement under Section 7(d) of that agreement. In lieu thereof,
Chatterjee desires to resign all of his current positions with the Company and
to forego any rights he may have under the Employment Agreement. The Company has
agreed to accept his resignation from these positions, effective as of November
12, 2003 (the "Resignation Date"). A copy of Chatterjee's resignation letter is

amicably all issues between them, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth

civil structural engineer and may seek employment with a civil structural
engineering company upon termination of the 2001 Employment Agreement. As a
material inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement, Chatterjee
agrees that he will not accept employment or provide consulting services for any
company that manufactures structural software for analysis and design of
structures in direct competition with the Company's software known as STAAD.Pro.

the Company shall grant Chatterjee a Non-Qualified Stock Option ("NSO") to
purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The option is exercisable
at the market closing price on December 18, 2003. Chatterjee's NSO's will vest
in increments as follows: a) 33,333 on January 1, 2004; b) 33,333 on February 1,

         5. RELEASE. The Company and Chatterjee, for themselves and their heirs,
assigns, executors, administrators, agents and successors, past and present
(collectively, the "Company and Chatterjee Affiliates"), hereby fully and
without limitation release, covenant not to sue, and forever discharge each
other, their subsidiaries, parent companies, divisions, affiliated corporations,

whether in law or in equity, suits, damages, losses, workers' compensation

Affiliates now have, or may ever have, against any of the Releasees for any acts
or omissions by the Company or Chatterjee or any of the other Releasees
occurring on or prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement.

         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and
Chatterjee understand and agree that the Release provisions of this Section 5
apply to any Claims that the Company or Chatterjee or the Company and Chatterjee

<PAGE>

         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Chatterjee

         Chatterjee acknowledges and represents that he did not suffer any
work-related injuries while employed by the Company, that he has no intention of
filing any claims for workers' compensation benefits of any type against the
Company, and that he will not file or attempt to file any claims for workers'
compensation benefits of any type against the Company. Chatterjee acknowledges
that the Company has relied upon these representations, and that the Company
would not have entered into this Agreement but for these representations. As a
result, Chatterjee agrees, covenants, and represents that the Company may, but
is not obligated to, submit this Agreement to the Workers' Compensation Appeals
Board for approval as a compromise and release as to any workers' compensation
claims that Chatterjee files.

         6. ALL DISPUTES. The Company and Chatterjee acknowledge that they are
aware of and familiar with the provisions of Section 1542 of the California
Civil Code, which provides as follows:

                  "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE
                  CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE
                  TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM, MUST
                  HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

         The Company and Chatterjee hereby waive and relinquish all rights and
benefits that they have against each other under Section 1542 of the California
Civil Code, or the law of any other country, territory, state or jurisdiction,
or common law principle, to the same or similar effect.

         7. OLDER WORKER'S BENEFIT PROTECTION ACT. This Agreement is subject to
the terms of the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (the "OWBPA"). The
OWBPA provides that an individual cannot waive a right or claim under the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA") unless the waiver is knowing and
voluntary. Pursuant to the terms of the OWBPA, Chatterjee acknowledges and

                                       3

Agreement has been written in a manner that is calculated to be understood, and
is understood, by Chatterjee; (b) the release provisions of this Agreement apply
to rights and claims that Chatterjee may have under the ADEA, including the

until expiration of this seven-day period.

         8. COOPERATION AND ASSISTANCE. Chatterjee agrees to provide reasonable
assistance to the Company as requested by the Company to affect a smooth and
orderly transition and continuation of the business of the Company. Chatterjee
will reasonably cooperate with and assist the Company, its agents, owners,
employees and attorneys in the preparation and/or defense and/or pursuit of any
litigation involving the Company, and, in addition, to any issues related to his
employment with Company, his performance as an employee/officer of the Company,
or any related matters, except as may be prevented by law.

         Chatterjee agrees, covenants, and represents that he shall not
voluntarily aid, assist, cooperate with or encourage any current, former or
future employee of the Company in connection with the pursuit of any claim or
dispute against the Company, unless compelled by deposition or other legal
process. Chatterjee further agrees not to voluntarily involve himself or
participate in any action in which the Company or any of the other Releasees is
a party without first obtaining the Company's advance written consent.
Chatterjee further agrees, covenants, and represents that he shall provide
advance written notice to the Company in the event he is subpoenaed to testify,
or provide documents at deposition or at trial, relating to (1) any actual,
possible, or perceived violation by the Company or any other Releasee of any
federal, state, local, or administrative law, rule, or regulation; (2) the
negotiations relating to and the terms of, this Agreement; and (3) any acts or
omissions by the Company or any of the other Releasees occurring prior to the
Effective Date of this Agreement. This paragraph is intended to preclude this
voluntary aid or involvement of Chatterjee as described above, and nothing in
this paragraph is intended to influence the substance of such aid or
involvement, which is properly compelled by legal process.

         9. NO ASSIGNMENT. Chatterjee represents and warrants that he has not
assigned or transferred any interest in any Claims that he may have against the
Company or any other Releasee. Accordingly, Chatterjee agrees to indemnify and

                                       4

hold the Company and the other Releasees harmless from any liability, claims,
demands, damages, expenses, and attorneys' fees incurred as a result of a any
person or entity asserting any such assignment or transfer of any right or
claim. This Agreement may be pleaded as a defense, cross-complaint,
counter-suit, cross-claim, or third party complaint in any action involving the
Company or any of the other Releasees. This indemnity provision does not require
payment as a condition precedent to recovery by the Releasees hereunder.

         10. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State
of California and shall in all respects be interpreted and enforced pursuant to
the laws of the State of California, without regard to or application of any of
California's conflict of laws rules.

         11. LEGAL FEES. If any legal action, arbitration or other proceeding is
brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of any alleged
dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with this Agreement,
the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable
attorneys' fees and other costs.

         12. INTEGRATED AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes a single,
integrated written contract expressing the entire agreement of the parties.
There is no other agreement, written or oral, express or implied, between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, except this Agreement. This
Agreement may not be orally modified, and may be modified only in a written
instrument signed by the parties.

         The parties acknowledge that no representations, statements or promises
made by the other party, or by their respective agents or attorneys, have been
relied on in entering into this Agreement. Each party understands that the facts
with respect to which this Agreement is entered into may be materially different
from those the parties now believe to be true. Each party accepts and assumes
this risk and agrees that this Agreement and the releases in it shall remain in
full force and effect, and legally binding, notwithstanding the discovery or
existence of any additional or different facts, or any claims with respect to
those facts.

         13. SEVERABILITY. The parties to this Agreement agree, covenant and
represent that each and every provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be
contractual, and that they shall not be treated as mere recitals at any time or
for any purpose. Therefore, the parties further agree, covenant and represent
that each and every provision of this Agreement shall be considered severable,
except for the release provisions of Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement. If a
court of competent jurisdiction finds the release provisions of Section 3 or 4
of this Agreement to be unenforceable or invalid, then this Agreement shall
become null and void, and Chatterjee shall repay any and all Separation Amounts
paid by the Company pursuant to this Agreement within a reasonable period of
time not to exceed 15 days. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any
provision other than the release provisions of Section 3 or 4, or part thereof,
to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, that provision, or part thereof,
shall remain in force and effect to the extent allowed by law, and all of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
enforceable.

         14. CAPTIONS. The captions and section numbers in this Agreement are
inserted for the reader's convenience, and in no way define, limit, construe, or
describe the scope or intent of the provisions of this Agreement.

         15. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and
when each party has signed and delivered at least one such counterpart, each
counterpart shall be deemed an original, and, when taken together with other
signed counterparts, shall constitute one agreement, which shall be binding upon
and effective as to all parties.

         16. BINDING AGREEMENT. Chatterjee represents and warrants that he has
the authority to enter into this Agreement on his behalf individually and to
bind all persons and entities claiming through him. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, assigns,
executors, administrators, successors, subsidiaries, divisions and affiliated
corporations and partnerships, past and present, and trustees, directors,
officers, shareholders, partners, agents and employees, past and present, of
Chatterjee and the Company.
