THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE (the "Agreement") is entered into
by Rebecca DeLozier Clements (hereinafter referred to as "EMPLOYEE") and Avenue
A, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "THE COMPANY").

                                    RECITALS
A.   EMPLOYEE has been employed by THE COMPANY and her employment relationship
with THE COMPANY will be terminated effective March 31, 2002.
B.   EMPLOYEE and THE COMPANY wish to enter into an agreement to clarify and
resolve any disputes that may exist between them arising out of the employment
relationship and its termination, and any continuing obligations of the parties
to one another following the end of the employment relationship.
C.   This Agreement is not and should not be construed as an admission or
statement by either party that it or any other party has acted wrongfully or
unlawfully. Both parties expressly deny any wrongful or unlawful action.

                                   AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
promises contained below, it is agreed as follows:

     1.   EMPLOYMENT: ENDING DATE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

EMPLOYEE's employment with THE COMPANY will terminate effective March 31, 2002.

     2.   CHARACTERIZATION OF TERMINATION
EMPLOYEE and THE COMPANY agree that for all future purposes they will
characterize her termination of employment as a voluntary resignation.

     3.   SEVERANCE AND BENEFITS
On or before April 15, 2002, THE COMPANY will pay to EMPLOYEE five (5) months'
salary as severance, and any accrued but unused paid time off, up to a maximum
of 80 hours. All other benefits shall cease effective the date that employment

EMPLOYEE shall receive five (5) month's accelerated vesting for all of her
outstanding Avenue A stock options. Specifically, the portion of the any and all
grants held by EMPLOYEE immediately prior to the termination date, that is

Termination Date, had EMPLOYEE's employment continued through the latter date.

In addition, THE COMPANY agrees to give the EMPLOYEE the laptop computer she is
currently using upon her departure. The fair market value of the laptop will be

the Internal Revenue Service as income and THE COMPANY will be responsible for
applicable federal taxes on a grossed up basis.

     4.   VALID CONSIDERATION
EMPLOYEE and THE COMPANY agree that payment by THE COMPANY to EMPLOYEE of the

part of her employment with THE COMPANY, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit

immediately upon termination turn over to THE COMPANY all files, memoranda,
records, credit cards, and other documents or physical property which she
received from THE COMPANY or its employees or generated himself in the course of
her employment with THE COMPANY.

     6.   CONFIDENTIALITY OF SEPARATION AGREEMENT
EMPLOYEE agrees that she will keep the terms of this Agreement (including but
not limited to the severance amount) completely confidential, and that she will
not disclose any information concerning this Agreement or its terms to anyone
other than her immediate family, legal counsel, and/or financial advisors, who
will be informed of and bound by this confidentiality clause.

     7.   GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS
EMPLOYEE expressly waives any claims against THE COMPANY and releases THE
COMPANY (including its officers, directors, stockholders, managers, agents and
representatives) from any claims that she may have in any way connected with her
employment with THE COMPANY and the termination thereof. It is understood that
this release includes, but is not limited to, any claims for wages, bonuses, or
employment benefits, or any claims relating to the employee's purchase of stock
or stock options or the employee's participation in any stock incentive plan or
stock purchase plan, or damages of any kind whatsoever, arising out of any
contracts, express or implied, any covenant of good faith and fair dealing,
express or implied, any theory of wrongful discharge, any legal restriction on
THE COMPANY's right to terminate employment, or any federal, state or other
governmental statute or ordinance, including, without limitation, Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act,
the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the
Washington Law Against Discrimination, or any other legal limitation on the
employment relationship.
EMPLOYEE represents that she has not filed any complaints, charges or lawsuits
against THE COMPANY with any governmental agency or any court, and agrees that
she will not initiate, assist or encourage any such actions.
This waiver and release shall not waive or release claims where the events in
dispute first arise after execution of this Agreement, nor shall it preclude
EMPLOYEE from filing a lawsuit for the exclusive purpose of enforcing her rights
under this Agreement.

to be unlawful or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement shall
remain fully valid and enforceable to the maximum extent consistent with
applicable law.

     9.    KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT
EMPLOYEE represents and agrees that she has read this Agreement, understands its
terms and the fact that it releases any claim she might have against THE COMPANY
and its agents, understands that she has the right to consult counsel of choice
and has either done so or knowingly waived the right to do so, and enters into
this Agreement without duress or coercion from any source.

COMPANY and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings, express or
implied, pertaining to the terms of her employment with THE COMPANY and the
termination of the employment relationship. EMPLOYEE acknowledges that in
