                         EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

(For Executive Officers Who Also Have a Change of Control Employment Agreement)

                   THIS AGREEMENT is made as of March 30, 1998 between Office
Depot, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and Shawn McGhee
("EXECUTIVE").

                   In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                   1.      EMPLOYMENT.

                   (a) The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive hereby
accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement for the period beginning on the date hereof and ending as
provided in paragraph 4 hereof (the "EMPLOYMENT TERM").

                   (b) The parties hereto have entered into an Employment
Agreement dated as of ____________ by and between the Company and the Executive
(the "Change of Control Employment Agreement") which, by its terms, takes effect
during the "Employment Period" as defined in such agreement. During any such
Employment Period under the Change of Control Employment Agreement, the terms
and provisions of the Change of Control Employment Agreement shall control to
the extent such terms and provisions are in conflict with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement. In addition, during such Employment Period, the
Employment Term hereunder shall be tolled and upon expiration of the Employment
Period under the Change of Control Employment Agreement the Employment Term
hereunder shall recommence.

                   2.      POSITION AND DUTIES.

                   (a) During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as
Executive Vice President Merchandising and Marketing of the Company and shall
have the normal duties, responsibilities and authority attendant to such
position, subject to the power of the Company's chief executive officer ("CEO")
or Board of Directors (the "Board") to expand or limit such duties,
responsibilities and authority.

                   (b) Executive shall report to the President and Chief
Operating Officer, and Executive shall devote Executive's best efforts and
Executive's full business time and attention (except for permitted vacation
periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity) to the business
and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries; PROVIDED that Executive shall,
with the prior written approval of the CEO, be allowed to serve as (i) a
director or officer of any non-profit organization including trade, civic,
educational or charitable organizations, or (ii) a director of any corporation
which is not competing with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the office
product and office supply industry so long as such duties do not materially
interfere with the performance

of Executive's duties or responsibilities under this Agreement. Executive shall
perform Executive's duties and responsibilities under this Agreement to the best
of Executive's abilities in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike and efficient
manner.

                   (c) Executive shall be based at or in the vicinity of the
Company's headquarters but may be required to travel as necessary to perform
Executive's duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

                   (d) For purposes of this Agreement, "SUBSIDIARIES" shall mean
any corporation of which the securities having a majority of the voting power in
electing directors are, at the time of determination, owned by the Company,
directly or through one of more Subsidiaries.

                   3.      BASE SALARY AND BENEFITS.

                   (a) Initially, Executive's base salary shall be $425,000 per
annum (the "Base Salary"), which salary shall be payable in regular installments
in accordance with the Company's general payroll practices and shall be subject
to customary withholding. Executive's Base Salary shall be reviewed at least
annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board and shall be subject to
adjustment, but not reduction, as they shall determine based on among other
things, market practice and performance. In addition, during the Employment
Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in certain of the Company's
long term incentive programs established currently or in the future by the
Company for which officers of the Company then at Executive's level, are
generally eligible (including, but not limited to, stock option, restricted
stock, performance unit/share plans or long-term cash plans).

                   (b) In addition to the Base Salary, Executive shall be
entitled to participate in the Company's Management Incentive Plan (the "Bonus
Plan") as administered by the Board or the Compensation Committee. If the Board
or the Compensation Committee modifies such Bonus Plan during the Employment
Term, Executive shall continue to participate at a level no lower than the
highest level established for any officer of the Company then at Executive's
level. At the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee, Executive
may be offered from time to time the opportunity to participate in other bonus
plans of the Company in lieu of the Bonus Plan and, if Executive chooses to
participate in such plan or plans, the provisions of this paragraph 3(b) shall
be tolled during the period of such participation.

                   (c) Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in
accordance with the Company's general payroll practices for officers of the
Company then at Executive's level.

                   (d) The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable
expenses incurred by Executive in the course of performing Executive's duties
under this Agreement which are consistent with the Company's policies in effect
from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business
expenses, subject to the Company's requirements with respect to reporting and
documentation of such expenses.

                   4. TERM.

                   (a) The Employment Term shall end on the third anniversary of

this Agreement is not given by one party hereof to the other at least six months

Employment Term shall terminate prior to such date (A) upon Executive's death or
permanent disability or incapacity (as determined by the Board in its good faith
judgment), (B) upon the mutual agreement of the Company and Executive, (C) by
the Company's termination of this Agreement for Cause (as defined below) or

                   (b) If the Employment Term is terminated by the Company

applicable plan or program) but unpaid amounts under incentive plans, deferred

Executive is then participating (other than the Pro Rata Bonus), and (iii)

pursuant to the Company's insurance programs, as in effect from time to time, to
the extent Executive participated immediately prior to the date of such

primary coverage for Executive and Executive's family. The amounts payable
pursuant to paragraph 4(b)(i) and (ii) shall be payable, at the Company's
discretion, in one lump sum payment within 30 days following termination of the
Employment Term or in any other manner consistent with the Company's normal
payment policies.

                   (c) If the Employment Term is terminated by the Company for

<PAGE>   4

Executive's estate if applicable, shall be entitled to receive the sum of(i)
Executive's Base Salary through the date of such termination and Executive's Pro
Rata Bonus (as defined in paragraph (h) below) and (ii) vested and earned (in
accordance with the Company's applicable plan or program) but unpaid amounts
under incentive plans, health and welfare plans, deferred compensation plans,
and other employer programs of the Company which Executive participates. The
amounts payable pursuant to this paragraph 4(d) shall be payable, at the
Company's discretion, in one lump sum payment within 30 days following

Company's normal payment policies.

                   (e) Except as otherwise provided herein, fringe benefits and
bonuses (if any) which accrue or become payable after the termination of the
Employment Term shall cease upon such termination.

                   (f) For purposes of this Agreement, "CAUSE" shall mean:

                           (i) the willful and continued failure of the
         Executive to perform substantially the Executive's duties with the
         Company or one of its affiliates (other than any such failure resulting
         from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written
         demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the
         Board or the CEO which specifically identifies the manner in which the
         Board or the CEO believes that the Executive has not substantially
         performed the Executive's duties, or

                           (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal
         conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably
         injurious to the Company.

For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the
Executive, shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be
done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the
Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any
act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly
adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the CEO or based upon the
advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or
omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of
the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to
be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a
copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three
quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called
and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive
and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard
before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the
Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above,
and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

                   (g) For purposes of this Agreement, "GOOD REASON" shall mean:

                                      - 4 -

<PAGE>   5

                           (i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties
inconsistent with the Executive's position (including status, offices, titles
and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as
contemplated by paragraph 2 of this Agreement, or any other action by the
Company which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or
responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and
inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company
promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

                           (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of
the provisions of paragraph 3 of this Agreement, other than an isolated,
insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is
remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the
Executive;

                           (iii) the Company's requiring the Executive to be
based at any location other than as provided in paragraph 2(c) hereof; or

                           (iv) any purported termination by the Company of the
Executive's employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

                   (h) For purposes of this Agreement, "PRO RATA BONUS" shall
mean the sum of(i) the pro rata portion (calculated as if the "target" amount
under such plan has been reached) under any current annual incentive plan from
the beginning of the year of termination through the date of termination and
(ii) if and to the extent Executive is vested, the pro rata portion (calculated
as if the "target" amount under such plan has been reached) under any long-term
incentive plan or performance plan from the beginning of the period of
determination through the date of termination.

                   5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Executive acknowledges that the
information, observations and data obtained by Executive while employed by the
Company and its Subsidiaries concerning the business or affairs of the Company
or any other Subsidiary ("CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION") are the property of the
Company or such Subsidiary. Therefore, Executive agrees that Executive shall not
disclose to any unauthorized person or use for Executive's own purposes any
Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Board or the
CEO, unless and to the extent that the aforementioned matters become generally
known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of
Executive's acts or omissions. Executive shall deliver to the Company at the
termination of the Employment Term, or at any other time the Company may
request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes,
printouts and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) in any
form or medium relating to the Confidential Information, Work Product (as
defined below) or the business of the Company or any Subsidiary that Executive
may then possess or have under Executive's control.

                   6. INVENTIONS AND PATENTS. Executive acknowledges that all
inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses,
drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not
patentable) that relate to the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' actual or
anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products

                                     - 5 -

or services and that are conceived, developed or made by Executive while
employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries ("WORK PRODUCT") belong to the
Company or such Subsidiary. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product
to the Board or the CEO and perform all actions reasonably requested by the
Board or the CEO (whether during or after the Employment Term) to establish and
confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents,
powers of attorney and other instruments).

                   7.      NON-COMPETE, NON-SOLICITATION.

                   (a) In further consideration of the compensation to be paid
to Executive hereunder, Executive acknowledges that in the course of Executive's
employment with the Company Executive shall become familiar with the Company's
trade secrets and with other Confidential Information concerning the Company and
its Subsidiaries and that Executive's services shall be of special, unique and
extraordinary value to the Company and its Subsidiaries. Therefore, Executive
agrees that, during the Employment Term and for one year thereafter (the
"NONCOMPETE PERIOD"), Executive shall not directly or indirectly own any
interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for,
or in any manner engage in any business competing with the businesses of the
Company or its Subsidiaries, as such businesses exist or are in process on the
date of the termination of Executive's employment, within any geographical area
in which the Company or its Subsidiaries engage or plan to engage in such
businesses. Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner
of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which
is publicly traded, so long as Executive has no active participation in the
business of such corporation.

                   (b) During the Noncompete Period, Executive shall not
directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce
any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary to leave the employ of the Company
or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the
Company or any Subsidiary and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was
an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary at any time during the Employment
Term or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee,
licensor, franchisee or other business relation of the Company or any Subsidiary
to cease doing business with the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way
interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee,
licensor, franchisee, or business relation and the Company or any Subsidiary
(including, without limitation, making any negative statements or communications
about the Company or its Subsidiaries).

                   (c) If, at the time of enforcement of this paragraph 7, a
court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the
maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be
substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be
allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period,
scope and area permitted by law. Executive agrees that the restrictions
contained in this paragraph 7 are reasonable.

                   (d) In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by
Executive of any of the provisions of this paragraph 7, the Company, in addition
and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, may apply
to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance
and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations
of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). In
addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Executive of this
paragraph 7, the Noncompete Period shall be tolled until such breach or
violation has been duly cured.

                   8. EXECUTIVE'S REPRESENTATIONS. Executive hereby represents
and warrants to the Company that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of

or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or
decree to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound, (ii)

agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity and (iii)

regarding Executive's rights and obligations under this Agreement and that
Executive fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.

                   9. SURVIVAL. Paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 and paragraphs 9 through
16 shall survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms
notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Term.

     This Term Sheet is entered into by and between  ConSyGen,  Inc. ("CSGI") on
behalf of itself and its officers, directors,  employees,  attorneys and agents,
and Sovereign Partners Limited Partnership ("Sovereign"),  Dominion Capital Fund
Limited   ("Dominion"),   Canadian  Advantage  Limited  Partnership   ("Canadian
Advantage";  collectively with Sovereign and Dominion, the "Debenture Holders"),
Stephen M. Hicks,  Thomson Kernaghan & Co. and Mark Valentine  (collectively the
"Debenture  Parties") on behalf of  themselves  and their  officers,  directors,
employees,  attorneys,  heirs,  executors and agents,  in consideration  for the
mutual  promises and  covenants  contained  herein,  to avoid  further risks and
uncertainty of litigation, and for other good and sufficient consideration,  the

CSGI'S DUE DILIGENCE

1.   Based upon CSGI's due diligence and the discovery that has been  conducted,
     CSGI has now  determined  that there was,  and is, no basis in fact for the
     statements  made  by  CSGI,   through  its  former   management  and  other
     representatives,  alleging wrongdoing by the Debenture Parties.  Therefore,
     CSGI has  concluded  that  there was no  actionable  conduct  by any of the
     Debenture Parties with respect to CSGI or its shareholders.

THE DEBENTURE LITIGATION [No. 98 Civ. 8457 (RLC) (S.D.N.Y.)]

2.   Subject to the  consent of the Court,  which all parties to this Term Sheet
     will cooperate to obtain, the Debenture  Litigation shall be stayed pending
     CSGI's  compliance  with its  obligations  under this Term Sheet,  at which
     point the Debenture Litigation shall be dismissed,  with prejudice, and the
     parties to this Term Sheet  shall  exchange  releases  with  respect to all
     claims that were or could have been asserted in the  Debenture  Litigation.
     Upon the execution of a final, detailed Settlement Agreement as provided in
     paragraph  12  below,  CSGI  shall  deliver  to  the  Debenture  Parties  a
     stipulated  judgment,  in favor of the Debenture Parties,  in the amount of
     $2,700,000,  plus interest and penalties as set forth in paragraph 3 below,
     plus $200,000  towards the Debenture  Parties'  attorneys'  fees and costs,
     which  judgment  shall be filed with the court upon a breach by CSGI of the
     Settlement  Agreement.  As CSGI  honors  future  conversion  notices by the
     Debenture Holders,  the amount of the stipulated  judgment shall be reduced
     by the principal amount converted, together with the interest and penalties
     applicable to that principal amount.

CSGI Will Honor The Debentures

3.   CSGI acknowledges its obligations to honor the Debentures and the Debenture
     Documents in the amount of $250,000 for Canadian Advantage,  $1,450,000 for
     Dominion Capital and $1,000,000 for Sovereign, plus accrued interest as per
     the Debenture  Documents and an  additional  10% of the original  principal
     amount of  $3,500,000,  payable  in CSGI  stock,  to cover a portion of the
     liquidated damages relating to the lapse of the registration  statement and
     non-delivery of shares.  CSGI also acknowledges its obligations,  as stated
     in the Debenture  Documents,  with respect to the Warrants  associated with
     the Debentures.

4.   CSGI shall  cooperate with the Debenture  Holders so that they can sell the
     maximum shares of CSGI stock allowed under this Term Sheet and Rule 144.

LIMITATIONS ON DEBENTURE HOLDERS

5.   On the condition that CSGI is not in default of the Term Sheet or the final
     Settlement  Agreement,  the  Debenture  Holders will limit their  aggregate
     daily  sales of CSGI  shares to the greater of (i) 25% of the higher of the
     previous days trading  volume or the current days trading  volume,  (ii) an
     amount worth $20,000, or (iii) 20,000 shares.

6.   The  Debenture  Holders agree not to engage in short sales of CSGI's stock,
     as that term is defined in the Federal securities laws and SEC regulations.

7.   [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK].

THE  DEFAMATION   LITIGATION  [No.  99  Civ.  0564  (RJW)   (S.D.N.Y.)  and  No.
99-CV-162139 (Ontario Court General Division)]

8.   Subject to the  consent of the Court,  which all parties to this Term Sheet
     will endeavor to obtain,  the  Defamation  Litigation  also shall be stayed
     pending CSGI's  compliance with its  obligations  under this Term Sheet, at
     which point the Defamation  Litigation  will be dismissed,  with prejudice,
     and the parties to this Term Sheet will  exchange  releases with respect to
     all  claims  that  were or  could  have  been  asserted  in the  Defamation
     Litigation.

9.   The  Defamation  Litigation  shall only be stayed and  dismissed as against
     CSGI,  its  officers,  directors  (including  Jeffrey Weiss but only to the
     extent claims  against him arise out of his conduct  during his tenure,  in
     his  capacity,  and  within  the scope of his  duties as a CSGI  director),
     employees  and agents.  Neither  the  Defamation  Litigation  nor any other
     litigation  shall be stayed or dismissed as against any member of the Weiss
     family (except Jeffrey Weiss to the extent described above), Harry M. Weiss
     & Associates.  P.C., any person acting in concert with the Weiss family who
     was not an  officer or  director  of CSGI,  any  Internet  posters  (unless
     specifically  identified by CSGI in Exhibit A hereto), or any other person.
     The  Debenture  Parties  shall  remain free to pursue all  available  legal
     remedies,  in any available  forum,  against any member of the Weiss family
     (except  Jeffrey  Weiss to the extent  described  above),  Harry M. Weiss &
     Associates.  P.C.,  any person  acting in concert with the Weiss family who
     was not an  officer or  director  of CSGI,  any  Internet  posters  (unless
     specifically  identified by CSGI in Exhibit A hereto),  or any other person
     not the beneficiary of the stay and release contemplated by this paragraph.
     CSGI and its officers, directors, employees and agents agree to provide the
     Debenture  Parties with all  information  they have received from the Weiss
     family and/or other third parties regarding the allegations made by CSGI or
     others against the Debenture  Parties.  For example,  CSGI will provide the
     Debenture  Parties with all documents and information CSGI or its attorneys
     received  from Mark Krum and other  attorneys  (except for C. Steven Rorke,
     Donald R. Day, Cummings, McClorey, Davis, Acho & Day and Camhy, Karlinsky &
     Stein) and all  information  it has  regarding  the  identity of "Tech." In
     addition, CSGI will:

     (a)  Direct the law firm of Ross,  Dixon & Bell  ("RDB") to comply with the
          subpoena  served upon it in the Debenture  Litigation  and to withdraw
          its claims of  attorney-client  privilege  and work  product  immunity
          asserted in response to the subpoena;

     (b)  Direct  the firms of RDB and Speno & Cohen,  and any other  lawyers or
          firms it may have retained in connection with the litigations  (except
          for C. Steven Rorke, Donald R. Day, Cummings,  McClorey, Davis, Acho &
          Day and Camhy, Karlinsky & Stein) to turn over to CSGI all information
          and  documents  contained in their  respective  files  concerning  the
          allegations made against the Debenture Parties;

     (c)  Upon the execution of the final, detailed Settlement  Agreement,  make
          all such information and documents available to the Debenture Parties,
          except to the extent that such  materials are (i)  privileged and (ii)
          likely  to  prejudice  the  interests  of CSGI  and/or  the  Debenture
          Parties,  in which case CSGI and the Debenture Parties will consult in
          good faith and make a joint determination as to whether such materials
          should be turned over to the Debenture Parties.

     The stay of the Defamation  Litigation  against Thomas S. Dreaper and other
     former officers of CSGI shall only remain in effect to the extent that they
     similarly cooperate with the Debenture Parties.

RETRACTION

10.  CSGI shall  immediately  issue a retraction  of its public  accusations  of
     wrongdoing against the Debenture  Parties.  Such retraction shall be issued
     as a press release by CSGI (on the news wires of Reuters, Bloomberg and the
     Dow Jones News Service and on Internet  business wires of Yahoo and Silicon
     Investors) and shall provide as follows:

     "Based upon CSGI's due diligence and the discovery that has been conducted,
     CSGI has now  determined  that there was,  and is, no basis in fact for the
     statements  made  by  CSGI,   through  its  former   management  and  other
     representatives,  alleging  wrongdoing  by Thomson  Kernaghan  & Co.  Ltd.,
     Canadian   Advantage  Limited   Partnership,   Sovereign  Partners  Limited
     Partnership,   Dominion  Capital  Fund  Limited,  Stephen  Hicks  and  Mark
     Valentine (the  "Debenture  Parties").  Therefore,  CSGI has concluded that
     there was no actionable  conduct by the  Debenture  Parties with respect to
     CSGI or its shareholders.  In recognition and  acknowledgement of this fact
     and CSGI's undisputed financial obligations to Sovereign Partners, Dominion
     Capital and Canadian  Advantage (the holders of CSGI debentures),  CSGI has
     reached a  settlement  in principle  with the  Debenture  Parties.  If CSGI
     honors  its  obligations  under  the  settlement  and the  debentures,  the
     settlement  will fully and finally  resolve the debenture  holders'  claims
     asserting  that  CSGI  defaulted  on  its  obligations  arising  from  CSGI
     debentures  held by them,  and  CSGI's  claims of  wrongdoing  against  the
     Debenture Parties. The settlement also stays other litigation filed against
     CSGI, including defamation actions,  pending the repayment of all principal
     and interest due under the debentures and other sums due under the terms of
     the  debentures.   CSGI's  board  of  directors  has  determined  that  the
     settlement  is  beneficial to CSGI and its  shareholders.  Lewis  Burridge,
     ConSyGen's  current  Chief  Executive  Officer,  commented  that  `ConSyGen
     regrets  any harm  caused  to the  Debenture  Parties  as a  result  of our
     allegations of wrongdoing.' Mr. Burridge added that `we are all relieved to
     put this matter  behind us so that we can move  forward and  implement  our
     business plan.'"

     CSGI  acknowledges that the intention of the retraction is to undo whatever
     negative  appearance,  impression  or harm  that  has  been  caused  to the
     Debenture  Parties  by the  allegations  made  as to  them  by  CSGI.  Such
     retraction/statement  shall  also be made in a CSGI 8K  report  to be filed
     with  Securities  and Exchange  Commission no later than one week after the
     execution of this Term Sheet, and in a sworn statement to be signed,  under
     penalty of perjury,  upon  information and belief,  by Lewis Burridge.  The
     Debenture Parties agree that CSGI may, at its option, include the following
     statement in the press  release:  "A spokesman  for the  Debenture  Parties
     stated,  `we are pleased to put this matter  behind us and look  forward to
     working with CSGI in the future so that they can  effectively  move forward
     with their business plans.'"

TERMINATION AND FINALIZATION OF SETTLEMENT

11.  This Term Sheet shall be terminated,  and the Debenture Holders may proceed
     with the Debenture  Litigation,  the Defamation  Litigation,  and any other
     claims they may have against  CSGI,  its  officers,  directors,  employees,
     attorneys and agents, upon the occurrence of any of the following events of
     default by CSGI:

     (a)  Failure to comply with the obligations set forth in this Term Sheet;

     (b)  Delisting of CSGI's stock by the OTC Bulletin Board;

     (c)  Failure by CSGI to comply with its  reporting  requirements  under the
          Federal securities laws and SEC regulations;

     (d)  Any  statement  by or on  behalf  of CSGI,  its  directors,  officers,
          employees,  attorneys  or  agents  that  contradicts  the  text of the
          retraction   and  press  release  set  forth  in  paragraph  10,  that
          repudiates this Term Sheet,  or that accuses the Debenture  Parties of
          wrongdoing in connection with the Debentures and/or CSGI.

12.  Assuming no event of default,  the parties will work in good faith  towards
     preparing and executing a final,  detailed  Settlement  Agreement to embody
     the terms of this Term Sheet and any other  usual,  customary  or desirable
     provisions not inconsistent with this Term Sheet.
<PAGE>
MISCELLANEOUS

13.  If this Term  Sheet is  terminated  prior to the  execution  of the  final,
     detailed  Settlement  Agreement,  its terms shall not be admissible for any
     purpose  whatsoever  in  any  litigation  now  pending  or  brought  by the
     Debenture Holders,  CSGI or any affiliates of CSGI, except a proceeding for
     the enforcement, interpretation or breach of the Term Sheet.

14.  The parties have entered into this Term Sheet of their own free will, after
     due consideration and an opportunity to consult with their respective legal
     counsel, based solely upon the promises and representations made herein and
     not upon any promises or representations not made herein.
